SQL Server 2008 :: Separate Drives For MDF / LDF On Same Storage?
Apr 14, 2015I'm aware that it's best practice to separate mdf and ldf files onto separate drives.
However, I see a lot of servers where the underlying disk array is the same for drives on the server.
Is there still any performance benefit to separating mdf and ldf files in this situation?
For example, a single virtual server running SQL Server, with multiple drives attached.All of the drives are connected to a shared storage via iSCSI.There drives C:, D:, E: etc are all actually sharing the same underlying disks.
Obviously, there are some benefits from an administration perspective whereby individual drives can be reconfigured without affecting the others.

SQL Server 2008 :: Adding Columns To Table Type?
Jul 24, 2015Is there a good way to add columns to a table type?
I built several procs which make use of table-valued-parameters, and they work pretty nicely, until I need them to accept additional columns. Then I have to drop all the procs that use them, alter the types, and rebuild all the procedures, which is a huge pain in the rear.
Is there any good way (built in, or custom) to alter the def of a table type that's used as a parameter to multiple stored procedures?

Oct 1, 2015I have a date column (not datetime) in SQL Server and the dates are in the format yyyy-mm-dd
I need to replace the date values with zero's so it looks like 0000-00-00
I can currently get the current date in to the column like this:

But instead of GETDATE() I need to enter the zero's like this: 0000-00-00

SQL Server 2008 :: Adding Column To Existing Replicated Table
Feb 9, 2015I have a scenario where I need to add a blank column to a table that is a publisher. This table contains over 100 million records. What is the best way to add the column? In the past where I had to make an update, it breaks replication because the update would take forever as jobs are continuously updating the table so replication can't catch up.
If I alter a table and add a column, would this column automatically get picked up in replication?

SQL Server 2008 :: Replication Works From A Command Prompt But Not From SSMS?
Sep 30, 2015SQL Server 2012 Replication. The command prompt instance of the replication is being run as the same user as the SSMS "version" using the runas option. With SSMS the error is that the client is missing a privilege. There is no error when it runs from the command prompt. All runs well.
We have reinstalled the replication feature.We have gone through several MSDN articles that indicate exactly what privileges (both within the DB and in Windows) that service account should have. None have worked Incidentally, when I create a new publication and indicate that the SQL Server Agent be used , the publication runs.

Mapped Drives On SQL Server
Aug 6, 2001Hi,
I mapped a drive on to my SQL Server box. It points to another server from the same domain. When I try to backup or restore a database, I can't see this mapped drive through my SQL Server. Even if I type the entire path, SQL Server wouldn't take it. I don't have a clue about why it is not working. Can anyone throw some light on this. Your help is grately appreciated.

View 5 Replies View RelatedDrives On Server And How To Define Raid For Them
Jan 25, 2008Hello! I hope that I have posted in the right spot.
We are looking for advise. I know that there is no right or wrong answer. "It depends."
We currently have a server with the OS as Windows Server 2003 SP2 and SQL Server 2000 SP3. This Server has 6 physical drives; only 3 of these physical drives are being used. These 3 physical drives are 1 container with Raid 5. This 1 container is divided into 3 logical drives.
We would like to fill the other 3 physical drive slots and create another container. We were thinking of making this Raid 1.
I should put in my disclaimer that Raid 10 is out of the question and so is SAN.
Is Raid 1 the best choice? This is my first question.
Next is how should we split up the files among the containers.
For example, OS, log and swap file on container 1 with Raid 1 and datafiles on container 2 with Raid 5?
What are most people doing? Is there a standard? Can people provide examples of what they are doing or provide suggestions?
Adding Numeric Data To A Dataflow In A Scriptcomponent-&&> Invalid Number In OLE Db Command Transformation
Jun 9, 2006Hi there,
This seems a bug to me. Or does anyone has a logical explanation that escapes me?
When in SSIS Designer Version 9.00.1399.00 I add output columns (numeric 4,0 ) to a scriptcomponent and fill them with valid numeric data in thescript I get a database error 'invalid number' when I use these columns in an OLE db Command-transformation . This errormessage disappears when I replaces those columns by a dataconversion to the datatype they originally have.

STATUS_DEF Replace 'STATUS_DEF' (DT_NUMERIC,4,0)STATUS_DEF
Maybethis info is usefull for somebody else who can't figure out wathever he's doing wrong.

Swapping Out Drives On Our Production SQL Server This Weekend
Jul 20, 2005All,To make a long story short, we are swapping out the "knock-off" drivesthat the NA purchased on E-Bay in one of our production SQL Servers(SQL Server 2000 Enterprise) this weekend for brand new ones (Compaq15K RPM 32GB drives). We are currently experiencing ASR almost on adaily basis and it is really causing a disription in service. SO, TheNetwork Admin ahs made this decison to replace these drives in attemptto solve this. These new drives will be imaged with ALL of the currentdata on the "knock-off' drives and will be plugged back in to thisdatabase server and brought back up .This Server also happens tocurrently be a subscriber in Merge Replication as well. Besidesstopping replication to this subscriber is there any other tasks thatI need to do or concerns that I need to be knowledgable about or lookfor when we bring this database server backup on line this weekend?Thanks Travis. :)
View 1 Replies View RelatedBacking Up The SQL Server 2000 Database Using Tape Drives
Jun 9, 2006Dear sir/madam,
I am from NTU, Singapore and we have a windows 2003 server edition installed on a DELL server and it also runs MS SQL server 2000 for a project of ours. We have installed a HP tape drive on the dell server and it works fine if ntbackup is used at the command prompt but then the SQL enterprise manager does not recognize the tape drive and backing up of our database is of high priority as it contains sensitive information. But the tape drive is installed properly as the device manager does not show any error and ntbackup also recognizes it. I cant seem to figure out why SQL server 2000 cannot recognize it. It would be very helpful if you could kindly guide me on this issue.
Thanking you

SQL CE 3.5, VS 2008 Beta2: Could Not Get A Simple INSERT Command To Work!
Sep 13, 2007Hello,
I have installed VS 2008 Beta 2 which includes SQL CE 3.5, (I have VS 2005 installed too).
I can not get any INSERT command to work!
First i have tried the VS wizard for a new connection and a dataset. but after inserting a row into one of the dataset tables and then updating it to SQL CE with tha data adapter, nothing happens! NO ERROR and NO inserted row in the database file! so the identity of the inserted row in dataset table doesnt get updated.
Then i tried a simple code without any dataset in a clean solution:
Code Snippet
Dim con As New SqlCeConnection("Data Source=|DataDirectory|MyDatabase#1.sdf")
Dim cmd As New SqlCeCommand("INSERT INTO [Table1](Name) VALUES('TestValue')", con)
Try
con.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Catch ex As SqlCeException
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
Finally
con.Close()
End Try
NO ERROR! NO INSERTED ROW! Nothing happen!
I'm using it in a desktop application.
Why?
Regards,
Parham.
Reporting Services :: Adding Dataset Parameter Doesn't Add Report Parameter In Visual Studio 2008 SSRS

Is this a bug in Visual Studio? How do I get around this?Â
Can I Run SQL Server 2008 - Reporting Services CTP Until Microsoft Sells SQL 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?

Seeking Advice: SQL Server On Win 2008 Virtual Server Or Just Win 2008?
Apr 23, 2008
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,

Problem With Windows Server 2008 And SQL 2008 Express
Feb 25, 2008Hello!
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,

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 CTP, February 2008
Mar 7, 2008
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 €œMicrosoft 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 €œSQLEXPR.EXE€? with the 2008 file €œ€?, 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 €œsa€? login credentials it fails to allow the installation to proceed. Strangely by selecting the windows authentication credentials, €œnext€? than €œback€? it now allows me to add the €œsa€? login credentials and continues to install correctly as required.
I hope I have explained this clearly enough.
1. Is this a bug in the €œMicrosoft 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 €œMicrosoft SQL Server 2008 Express€? that will work installing from the command line?
Thanks in advance.
Different Drives
Feb 6, 2008I am trying to run a program called NVivo7, which - when I install - also requires installation of SQL Server. Because my C drive is small (and nearly full), I am trying to run NVivo7 off my D drive, though SQL seems to install on C. Is it possible, do you think, to use 2 different drives in this way, or do both the program and the Server need to be on the same one? If so, is there any way to get them both on D?
View 3 Replies View RelatedRaptor Drives?
Feb 21, 2007So i'm not really new, but got a question. i've recently been looking to to the Western Digital Raptor Drives.
as far as performance, it's always been my understanding that the speed of the hard drive is just about always the bottle-neck of a computer. i'm currently running 2 stripped WD 500gb SATA drives for my SQL server (dual Xeon 2.8 with 2GB memory).
i'm thinking of upgarding to 4 WD Raptors (10k RPM) drives, the new 150GB models. anyone have an opionion? do you think i'll get a large performance increase?
the database that i run queries off of now is about 125 Million names, with about 80 fields in width. so it's rather large, and usally takes a fair abount of time to get my results back (we're talking anywhere from a minute, to half the day.)
do you think the raptors will slim that down significantly?

Can someone help me, I installed SQL 2005 Enterpirse Editon on windows clustered servers. Then after the installation
