I have set up a history cleanup task to be performed once per week, however it doesn't seem to delete the old files, what am I doing wrong?
View 8 Replies View RelatedHi. I'm very new to SQL Server and would greatly appreciate any advice with regard to my two questions below.
I've recently been given responsibility for a pair of clustered Windows 2003 servers running SQL Server 2005. Looking through SQL Server Management Studio, I found the following three maintenance plans:
- System Maintenance Plan (all system databases)
- Plan 1 (1 database)
- Plan 2 (4 databases).
All three maintenace plans had the following elements configured, in the following order:
- Check Database Integrity
- Backup Database (Full)
- Shrink Database
- Update statistics
- Clean Up History
with the exception that Plan 1 doesn't have a 'Shrink Database' task (because, I'm told, its data is pretty static), but none had a Maintenance Cleanup Task, so I added one to each plan specifying 14 days of old backups to be kept in all cases except Plan 1, where I limited it to 2 days, the database being over 7 GB in size. All links between tasks in all plans are AND constraints, value 'Completion'. All .BAKs are written to tape by Symantec Backup Exec as part of the daily backup.
Two questions from this:
1. Since .BAKs are written to separate folders for each database, do I need, for example, four Maintenance Cleanup Tasks for the Plans covering four databases - one for each folder/database? I can't see a way of specifying that a Maintenance Cleanup Task should apply to multiple databases or search subfolders based on database name, so I assume I need four consecutive Maintenance Cleanup Tasks within a single plan? Is this the way to do it?
2.The data displayed when I right-click a maintenance plan and choose View History shows:
date and time run
plan name
task name
duration
log type
log source
Since I added a Maintenance Cleanup Task to each plan, the only task shown in the Task Name column is Cleanup History (set to 'Older than 7 days'), and the duration is 00:00:00, where previously all tasks were shown and the overall duration was over a minute.
However, the .BAK files are being created (size looks OK), the application log contains entries suggesting the backups and other tasks completed successfully, and if I expand the SQL Server Logs node and view the current file I can see entries which give the same 'success' messages (presumably this log is the source of the 'success' messages in the application log?).
Why does there appear to be an anomaly between the 'View History' display and the SQL Server Log and application log? Should I be worried, or is what I can see in the SQL Server Logs and application log sufficient grounds for a good night's sleep?
Thanks,
Ed

So I have two steps in my job that check conditions and call RAISERROR to gracefully complete the job if those conditions are met (meaning I only want the final step to run in a specific situation). Works great, except for some reason my messages are not making it into the log. It is appending the SQLSTATE, and a default error instead of anything that I'm putting into RAISERROR.

I want to send a standard request email (using db_mail) to each learner's email address which specifies who their individual assessor is and their current employer. One per learner.
I then want to email each assessor and in this email detail their learners (and their employer details) that I have emailed the request too.
I see some time email say blocking took place and but it get resolved itself. how to find the history of batch/query which blocked another SPID?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using the following command:
osql -E -n -d testdb -i testquery.qry -o "c:Scriptsoutput.txt" -h-1 -w 500 -s ","

SET NOCOUNT ON
SELECT table1.column5, table2.column9
FROM table1, table2
WHERE table1.column4 = table2.column4

ORDER BY table1.column5
All of the columns are cast as char up to 50 characters.
Even if only a field has a few characters, I get a lot of extra white space in my output. I want to get rid of those trailing spaces. I've tried SET ANSI_PADDING OFF, RTRIM(), and CAST(x AS VARCHAR(y)). I still get the same output. What am I doing wrong, what am I missing?
I'm trying to create an output file in a specific layout. For some reason my output file is adding an extra 10 spaces between the Account Number and the Check Number in the statement below. The rest of the output file looks fine. Where the extra 10 spaces are coming from? I need 1 Filler Space between these fields.
SELECT DISTINCT

I have been using SSIS for about two months now and one of the main difficulties I have had is migrating Sql Agent SSIS jobs around environments.
Usually, the SSIS fails because of permissions to file systems, data bases, etc, but until now, I have had to discover these almost by guessing because the job history never game me any useful information. Also, from what I see, the SSIS logs have been unreliable, at best.
What I have done lately is creating Operating System (CmdExec) Steps as part of the job (not SSIS steps) and inserting the output of dtexec.exe into the history.
This seems to give me information that has been really hard to get, otherwise.
My question is (I am no DBA or ETL expert), is this the best way of getting the output of the package when debugging migration issues? Why doesn't the SSIS Steps have a similar feature of outputting useful info to the job history?
Hi
I've been looking at kb 918760. In this, it says
"You can also use the Include Step Output in the history option to redirect the logging information to a file or to the SQL Server Agent Job History."
Now I'd really like to do this, but can't see this option anywhere nor can I find any reference to it in the help.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I have some simple files but they are failing because the delete history task is failing as it is looking for files in a non existent directory.
It is looking for files in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.INSTANCEMSSQLLog whereas it should be looking in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLLog

i had setup the merge replication across the server but each next morning i find that replication syncronization has stop with following error
The merge process was unable to access row metadata at the 'Subscriber'. When troubleshooting, restart the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to write to, or use SQL Profiler to determine the source of the failure. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147200996)
for this i manually restrat the syn. agent by stopping and then starting agent.
plz tell me how can i fix this hell of message or tell me how i call start/stop merge agent on command line so that i make script starting and stoping agent as job and will configure to run every morning.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have to set up archiving of some pretty large tables (125M+ rows) and I'm trying to figure out the best way to do it.
I've been using OUTPUT into, something like this:
delete top (100000) a
output deleted.RecordID
into dbo.RecordsArchive (RecordID)
from dbo.Records
It's difficult to tell if it sub-optimal code or just sheer volume, but any performance penalty using OUTPUT into in this way? or is it advantageous to insert the records to the archive first, and then delete them in two separate operations?
Hi,
While backing up our database, I am getting the following message:
Could not insert a backup or restore history/detail record in msdb.dbo.sysbackuphistory or sysrestorehistory. This may indicate a problem with the MSDB database. DUMP/LOAD was still successful. (Message 3009)
Does anybody have any resolution for the same ?

The below data come from table table1. Instead of below result Ex1: I need output similar to the ex2.
Ex1:
CaseNumberStart CaseNumberEndExported
15000013150000131
15000014150000141
15000504150005041
15000505150005051
Ex2:
CaseNumberStart CaseNumberEndExported
15000013150000142
15000504150005052
How to get the result similar to Ex2, instead of Ex1. (ie., case-number is in sequential order then no need to break), And it should suit large dataset, I will finetune, if any performance issue.
When I execute the following command, I get the output truncated to 79 characters, including three dots (as an ellipsis, I suppose).

Looking at an execution plan today I noticed something I've not seen before. The plan includes a non clustered index seek, followed by a RID lookup on the heap. The output list for the index seek contains the expected "Bmk" column (in this case "Bmk1473"), but also includes "IsBaseRow1475". This isn't a column from the table.

I know BCP is a solution but any other effective way to implement it?
I have a table which has few columns as Numeric value. I need to export the output into a csv file as a report with column headers. I have used bcp command. Here column name and Column Header name is the same. The BCP query which i have used is Below
bcp "SelectCompanyCode,MonthId,ActualityCode,CompanyCounterpartCode,LocalProductCode,LocalCustomerBillTo,
DestinationCountryCode,LocalCostCenterCode,LocalGLAccountCode,LocalProjectCode,TXCurrencyCode,
TXAmountYTD,LocalCurrencyCode,LocalAmountYTD,SourceSystemFromTable(nolock)" queryout D: est.csv -c -t ";" -r -S -T
Is there any way to export bcp with header or any other command to generate the csv file.
If I use msdb..sp_send_dbmail or save query results as text (using sqlcmd) and include the column headers I get the dashed separator line.
e.g.
custID, name
------, ------
1,bob
2,jamesI would like this
custID, name
1, bob
2 ,james
I found this method [URL] ....
::
sqlcmd -E -S (local) -d myDB -W -w 1024 -s "," -i "SELECT * FROM tblCust" | findstr /V /C:- /B > C: emp.csv
Can the same result be achieved sending as attachment with dbmail?
EXEC msdb..sp_send_dbmail @attach_query_result_as_file = 1I don't want to have to add column names as part of the query
Change the query to return column headers in resultset
