I accidentally set max server memory to 0. Now I cannot rectify as there are insufficient resources in internal memory pool to rectify. How I can recover? I've been unsuccessful to date in running sqlcmd in single user mode.
View 9 RepliesI have an issue with my production server regarding memory usage (Memory Utilization is above 95%.). Memory is : 12 GB and the service that is consuming the majority of memory 88%/10.5GB is sqlserver.exe. So it would appear that MSSQL is not set to restrict the amount of memory it uses ? How much should I set for min and max memory ? the defauld is min memory : 0 and max : 2 TB
View 5 Replies View RelatedSomeone stumped me with a question the other day. And I was wanting to know if my answer was accurate.
They were worried about locking up SQLServer with too many queries when accessing it through a web page.
I haven't actually had this problem with any of the stuff I have done. And I never had it happen way back when I was just doing database stuff either.
I suppose this happens when a query is run that the stored procedure conflict and end up getting locked up because neither query can finish their process until the other lets the tables go. So one way to avoid this is to make sure dangerous queries are never done through the web interface. Right can do but
and the other thing I was wondering about it how they balance queries on the server. I know about testing the equipment to find out which queries work the best and how to create a good normalized database you know good structure etc. (is this why I never had this problem or is it more because I did have a ton of different people accessing the data all at once -- but if they are accessing it in a controlled fashion then whats the worry right?)
Since I don't know how to cause this exactly-- I don't know how to prevent it.
Any clues?
I am curious about maximum memory setting .
Should we set maximum memory setting for each SQL server? For example a server has 6 GB memory then should we set maximum memory setting = 3.5 GB ?
I am building a table change log that will track each attribute update and include the original and new values.
[BatchYearMonthKey] [int] NULL,
[BatchYearMonthDayKey] [int] NULL,
[AccountID] [varchar](200) NULL,
[Attribute] [varchar] (200) NULL,
[Old_ValueAtrDefault] [varchar] (200) NULL,
[New_ValueAtrDefault] [varchar] (200) NULL,
[Old_ValueAtrLong] [varchar] (max) NULL,
[New_ValueAtrLong] [varchar] (max) NULL
The challenge that the spectrum of varchar lengths across the table. I have one attribute that requires varchar(max) and all other attributes (about 40) are varchar (200).
I am trying to accomplish the following:
Account ID Status
1 Enabled
Now changed to
AccountID Status
1 Disabled
My log table will look like the following:
[BatchYearMonthKey] BatchYearMonthDayKey] [AccountID] [Attribute] [Old_ValueAtrDefault] [New_ValueAtrDefault] [Old_ValueAtrLong] [New_ValueAtrLong]
201504 20150409 1 Status Enabled Disabled NULL NULL
My question:
I created two fields (Old_ValueAtrLong and New_ValueAtrLong) dedicated for the one attribute that is a varchar (max). I was trying to avoid storing [Status] for example that's a varchar(200) in a field that is varchar(max). Is this the right approach? Or are there other recommendations in how to handle storing the data in the most efficient manner?
I am monitoring our production server, and noticed that periodically we have spikes of Memory Paging Rate (pages/sec).
How to find particular queries/stored procedures that causing this?
I'm busy rewriting DTS packages as SSIS packages. As and when I finish a package I run it in debug mode via Microsoft Visual Studio and then examine the Exection Results to see the messages generated.
Now it may or may not matter how I run the package but the following warning has been generated :-
[SSIS.Pipeline] Warning: Warning: Could not open global shared memory to communicate with performance DLL; data flow performance counters are not available. To resolve, run this package as an administrator, or on the system's console.
Our monitoring tool shows that our production system periodically experiencing large rate - up to 800 memory pages/sec. How to find out which particular queries, S.P., processes that initiate this?

I did a load testing and found the following observations:
1. The Memory:Pages/sec was crossing the limit beyond 20.
2. The Target Server Memory was always greater than Total Server Memory
Seeing the above data it seems to be memory pressure. But I found that AvailableMemory was always above 200 MB. Also Buffer Cache HitRatio was close to 99.99. What could be the reason for the above behavior?
Hi,
I accidentally deleted a table in my local server. How can I get back the table? I did not do it as a transaction!
Thanks in Advance
My server is a dual AMD x64 2.19 GHz with 8 GB RAM running under Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with service pack 1 installed. We have SQL 2000 32-bit Enterprise installed in the default instance. AWE is enabled using Dynamically configured SQL Server memory with 6215 MB minimum memory and 6656 maximum memory settings.
I have now installed, side-by-side, SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition in a separate named instance. Everything is running fine but I believe SQL Server2005 could run faster and need to ensure I am giving it plenty of resources. I realize AWE is not needed with SQL Server 2005 and I have seen suggestions to grant the SQL Server account the 'lock pages in memory' rights. This box only runs the SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 server databases and I would like to ensure, if possible, that each is splitting the available memory equally, at least until we can retire SQL Server 2000 next year. Any suggestions?
Hello - does anyone have experience w/SQL Server 2005 in a virtual environment? I'm considering this for a production environment but not sure if performance will suffer. Our databases will have a lot of writing but not too much reading. A SSRS solution is currently the only app. connecting to the SQL db. Max users to server at any given time will be very low (~10 users max). But the databases are pulling in data from other, outside multiple data sources on a daily basis.
Any pointers to documentation or any advice?
Thanks,

sql server 2000 is running on windows server 2003 ... 4gb of memory on server .... 2003 was allocated 2.3gb nd sql server was allocated (and using all of it) 1.6gb for total of approx 4gb based on idera monitor software ... all memory allocated betweeen the OS and sql server .... then 4 more gb of memory added for total now of 8g ... now idera monitor shows 1.7gb for OS and 1.0 gb for sql server ..... 'system' info shows 8gb memory with PAE ... so I assume that the full 8gb can now be addressed .... why are less resources being used now with more total memory .... especially sql server ..... i thought about specifying a minimum memmry for sql server but i amnot convinced that would even work since it seems that this 1gb limit is artificial .... it it used 1.6 gb before why would it not use at least that much now ??
thank you
if you can restore a database to Server B using Server A as the service. Meaning we would issue the command on Server A but somehow point to Server B as where we want the restore to happen.
The backup file would be in a location independent of both servers.
Hi all,
Please tell me about difference between SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008 SSRS(Sql Server report)
Why to upgrade for Sql Server 2008
Thanks,
Ashok
There are a few features in the new SQL Server - Reporting Services that I really need in production. I have tested everything and it works great. I am running the CTP version since Microsoft is saying they aren't releasing the release version until 3rd quarter 2008.
Since Microsoft won't sell SQL 2008 until 3rd quarter, can I run the CTP in production until the release and then purchase SQL 2008?

Hello!
Recently, I set up server with Windows Web Server 2008 RC1, SQL 2008 Express beta, .NET 3.5, IIS 7.
I'm running ASP.NET web application with SQL database. Everything works fine until the first application state on the server expires. After that, any postback that starts a new application state on the server and connects to the database, results in the following error:
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
Is this a bug that will be fixed in release of Windows / SQL or am I doing something wrong?
Many thanks for help,
Jan
SQL Server In Memory OLTP 2014?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have the following SQL FCI configuration:
NODE1 -256GB

NODE2 - 256GB
INST3- 64GB min/64GB max
INST4- 64GB min/64GB max
With this configuration and if all instances are running on the same node there will be enough memory for them to run. Knowing that normally i ll have only 2 instances in each node wouldnt it be better the following config?
NODE1 -256GB

INST2 - 64GB min/128GB max
NODE2 - 256GB
INST3- 64GB min/128GB max

With this configuration and in case all the instances (due to a failure) start running on only 1 node, SQL will adjust all instances to just use Min memory specified?
Hi all,
New to this so please be patient and please help.
I have developed an SQL 2005 Express command line option install for our company which has been working seamlessly for the last 18 months.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx
I downloaded the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express CTP, February 2008? from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=749BD760-F404-4D45-9AC0-D7F1B3ED1053&displaylang=en
I simply replaced the 2005 file SQLEXPR.EXE? with the 2008 file ?, recompiled the installation and tested only for it to fail. I than read the 2008 books online and noted the change in command line options.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=19DB0B42-A5B2-456F-9C5C-F295CDD58D7A&displaylang=en
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259(SQL.100).aspx
I then changed the command line to suit the Microsoft 2008 books online, recompiled the installation and tested only for it to fail once more.
Interestingly I tested the install from the default GUI and at the point of adding the sa? login credentials it fails to allow the installation to proceed. Strangely by selecting the windows authentication credentials, next? than back? it now allows me to add the sa? login credentials and continues to install correctly as required.
I hope I have explained this clearly enough.
1. Is this a bug in the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 CTP, February 2008? installation?
2. If so is this causing the command line install options to fail?
3. How do I obtain a version of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express? that will work installing from the command line?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, I have accidentally disabled the Administrator account in Sql Server 2005 (Douh!) on my clients server (double Dough!) & now I can login to enable it.

Hello all,
When I close a web form that has a connection to my SQL Server, I am not seeing the memory process close in task manager (of the SQL Server). I am using the "open late close early" theory of database connections. I am using the "close" method for my database connections. Is there any automated utility that will shut down these processes? I thought when the user was disconnected from the database, the memory process would automatically shut down.
Any suggestions, thoughts, or ideas?

Hi, we have a development server with SQL 2000 SP3 on it. The hardware is dual CPUs server with win2000 Server installed, plus 1Gb of RAM.
With only 60 opened connections, the SQL server is using a 700Mb of RAM, so It became very slow, and I can't find the reason of it. Any ideas? With amount of open tables (objects) it doesn't look normal.

Hi!
Is there any way I can resore a specified set of deleted rows from a table? Most of these rows were created during the course of the day, but at the end a user deleted them accidentally. My latest full backup is from last night, but if I restore it, it will overwrite many other tables that already have correct informaiton entered during the day. Is there any to roll back only the transaction with which the rows were deleted?

I have two calls to stored procedures that in an SSIS package fails silently. They are simply not executed in production but works fine in test, nothing happens and the sql server agent reports that everything has gone just fine.
In test they have 1 server with db A and B. No issue here.
In prod they have 2 servers with db A and B. On server 1 sql server agent executes a job that includes an SSIS package that on server 2 runs a couple of sp's. That user is db owner on server 2 db B and yet nothing happens. The sp's are not executed.
If I in prod run the job manually then it works, but not when run with the sql server agent account that as said is even db owner.
I have a question about a problem that I cannot seem to tackle. I have installed the following programs on Windows Vista:
- SQL Server 2005
- Visual Studio 2008
- SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5
- SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 Server Tools
I want to do the following:
1. I want to create a SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 database in the SQL Server Management Studio
2. I want my SQL Express server in SQL Server 2005 to be a distributor and publisher
About 1. In SQL Server Management Studio I cannot choose SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 .
ABout 2. I tried to setup my server to be a distrubutor by running a stored procedure with the following name: sp_adddistributor. I get the following error: This edition of SQL Server cannot act as a Publisher or Distributor for replication.
Does anyone have a solution to both problems.
1) I can't get the 'copy database' function to work from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2005. I connect ok. Everything goes to the last step and then it fails.2) I cant get a SQL server 2008 backup to restore on SQL SEerver 2005 either.
The only way I know that works is to script the creation of all tables then export and import. This does work.
How can I get the 'entire' database, structure and data, from 2008 to 2005?
ThanksSQL newbie.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have the linked server connection created and works perfectly well. I mean I am able to see the tables while I am on my database.
how do I write a SQL statement to reference the linked server ?
I tried the following:
Select top 100 * from casmpogdbspr1.MPOG_Collations.dbo.AsaClass_Cleaned
Then I get the error message....
Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "casmpogdbspr1" does not contain the table ""MPOG_Collations"."dbo"."AsaClass_Cleaned"". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
Using a 32-Bit SQL Server 2008 Express on my LOCAL PC. I downloaded the Advantage 8.1 OLE DB Provider and created a linked server to a REMOTE Advantage 8.1 database server. There is no data dictionary on the Advantage server.
Here is my linked server:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'1xx.1xx.xx.1xx', @srvproduct=N'Advantage', @provider=N'Advantage OLE DB Provider', @datasrc=N'1xx.1xx.xx.1xxeccET', @provstr=N'servertype=ads_local_server;tabletype=ads_cdx;'--tabletype=’ADS_ADT’ (this test works too)
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname=N'1xx.1xx.xx.1xx',@useself=N'False',@locallogin=Null,@rmtuser='adssys',@rmtpassword=Null
Testing the link succeeds with above. Using “ads_REMOTE_server” instead of “ads_local_server” and the test fails. Here is my problem, using the following queries will not work. Perhaps it’s a permissions issue? When I specify my local credentials for the remote server in the linked server it still does not work.
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([1xx.1xx.xx.1xx], 'SELECT * FROM ActType')
OLE DB provider "Advantage OLE DB Provider" for linked server "1xx.1xx.xx.1xx" returned message "Error 7200: AQE Error: State = HY000; NativeError = 5004; [Extended Systems][Advantage SQL][ASA] Error 5004: Either ACE could not find the specified file, or you do not have sufficient rights to access the file.
