SQL Server 2008 :: Same Database With Two Different Machines At Different Times
Jun 19, 2015
For security reasons customer wants to put a SQL database on an encrypted thumb drive (IronKey). Here's the rub though. He wants to be able to work with the data on a workstation. Then, if he takes his laptop out of the office he wants to be able to simply plug that thumb drive into the laptop and fire up SQL on the laptop and use that same database. Procedurally this would work in that the database can be created so that the location is the same from both machine viewpoints, however will the two different SQL instances allow moving the database back and forth like this?

I am building a query. I have a table with 4 columns and need to try and put the times together. There are some inconsistencies with this, and i'm hoping to exclude them.. Here is a sample table:
Function | Employee | DateTime
--------------------------------------------
1 | 1 | 1/30/2015 1:47 PM
2 | 1 | 1/30/2015 1:49 PM
2 | 1 | 1/30/2015 1:50 PM
3 | 2 | 1/30/2015 1:37 PM
3 | 2 | 1/30/2015 1:39 PM
3 | 1 | 1/30/2015 1:40 PM
4 | 1 | 1/30/2015 1:42 PM
4 | 1 | 1/30/2015 1:45 PM
Function 1 = Clock In Type 1
Function 2 = Clock Out Type 1
Function 3 = Clock In Type 2
Function 4 = Clock Out Type 2
Basically what I need to do is take the time from rows with Function 1 and match it with Function 2 so I can get a total time of the clock in. Function 3 rows need to match up with Function 4 rows so I can get another set of total times. There may be more clock in rows then clock out rows or more clock out rows then clock in rows, and there may be multiple clock ins & outs per day per employee. I'm basically trying to get totals for each Clock In/Out type.

If exists (select fieldID from #tmploginfo where status <> 0
group by fieldID
having count(*) > 0)
begin
backup log rdb to disk = N'C:

I want to iterate this query using a loop as many as 5 times max.

We have a view with many left joins. The original creators of this view might have been lazy or sloppy, I don't know. I have rewritten the query to proper inner joins where required and also nested left joins.
So rather then the following exemplary fragment
select <many items>
from A
left join B on B.id_A = A.id
left join C on C.id_B = B.idthis now looks like
select <many items>
from A
left join (B
join C on C.id_B = B.id
) on B.id_A = A.id
Compilation time of the original view was 18s, of the new rewritten view 4s. The performance of execution is also better (not counting the compile of course). The results of the query are identical. There are about 30 left joins in the original view.
I can imagine that the optimizer has difficulty with all these left joins. But 14s is quite a big difference. I haven't looked into detail in the execution plans yet. I noticed that in both cases the Reason for Early Termination of Statement Optimization was Time Out.

I'm trying to quantify the number of times folks use SQL Server Management Studio to change client data in one of our production databases. Does SQL Server keep this statistic? How do I get to this data?

Problem Summary: Merge Statement takes several times longer to execute than equivalent Update, Insert and Delete as separate statements. Why?
I have a relatively large table (about 35,000,000 records, approximately 13 GB uncompressed and 4 GB with page compression - including indexes). A MERGE statement pretty consistently takes two or three minutes to perform an update, insert and delete. At one extreme, updating 82 (yes 82) records took 1 minute, 45 seconds. At the other extreme, updating 100,000 records took about five minutes.When I changed the MERGE to the equivalent separate UPDATE, INSERT & DELETE statements (embedded in an explicit transaction) the entire update took only 17 seconds. The query plans for the separate UPDATE, INSERT & DELETE statements look very similar to the query plan for the combined MERGE. However, all the row count estimates for the MERGE statement are way off.
Obviously, I am going to use the separate UPDATE, INSERT & DELETE statements. The actual query plans for the four statements ( combined MERGE and the separate UPDATE, INSERT & DELETE ) are attached. SQL Code to create the source and target tables and the actual queries themselves are below. I've also included the statistics created by my test run. Nothing else was running on the server when I ran the test.
Server Configuration:
SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1, Enterprise Edition
3 x Quad-Core Xeon Processor
Max Degree of Parallelism = 8
148 GB RAM
SQL Code:
Target Table:
USE TPS;
IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.ParticipantResponse') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE dbo.ParticipantResponse;
[code]....

Hello,
I have deployed a vb.net application to a few laptops that holds the SQL Express database as a local datastore. What is the best way to compress or shrink the database and log files? I would like a way that this can be done automatically or unattended if possible...
Thanks in advance.

Hello
We have 1 machine running SQL Server 2005 x64 (64 bit). The other machine is backing this SQL Server up. It is a 32-bit machine, so it requires (?) a 32-bit version of SQL Server 2005.
Would this back-up machine work correctly on a database previously managed by a 64-bit machine and vice versa.
Thank you!

Question - is there anyone out there running SQL Server on machines in the 2GB-4GB of RAM Range who has quick sec for a ? The documentation I have found for running SQL Server(native 32bit 2 GB RAM max) on 2GB+ machines is a little confusing (to me) if anyone can answer my question that would be great. I am running Ent SQL Server on WIN2K Adv box with 8 Xeons and 4 GB of RAM. I have enabled the /3GB switch in the boot.ini file but have not enabled AWE memory management in SQL. I have set the MAX amount of RAM avialble to my SQL box at 3GB and SQL Serve appears to be using all of the 3 GB under load. Is this the right way to set this or is there another more efficient way? Any answer explenations would be great. Thanks in advance
PS The server is only a SQL box no other apps / servers are running it.

Good morning,
I am looking for some first-hand experiences from fellow DBA's where they had SQL Server running on a Win2K3 VM. What sort of issues (or successes) did you find re: resource sharing, swap files, etc? Are there any experiences where using a VM negatively affected your environment?
Thanks so much. What a great forum!

I am trying to copy DTS Packages and Jobs from two different Servers to one new server. I know I can script the jobs, but they won't run without the DTS packages. I have backed up and restored the MSDB database from Server 1 to my Main server and therefore I have all the jobs from that machine. My problem is how do I get the jobs stored in SERVER 2's MSDB over to my main server without replacing the tables I already have thus losing the jobs and packages that I imported? I have thought about backing up Server 2's MSDB then importing to another database,on the MAIN SERVER and then importing with an append to the 'live" msdb, but I believe the table names are the same and I may end up with duplicate entires. I don't know what problem this will cause. Any suggestions will be great. Thanks in advance

I'm specifically referring to 2008 R2, and TomCat in particular (not sure of the *Nix variant involved), where I was asked if there were any configuration settings on the database side (meaning SQL Server) that can be viewed to show how long a connection to the server, once idle, will last, before it is forcibly closed. I when Googling, but as I'm not very knowledgeable on that topic, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, and the only results I came across didn't identify what I'm looking for. Of course, it may be that such a config setting doesn't exist, but it would be useful to know how such things are handled.

Hi,
Can I access from App machine (on WinXP) to SQL 2005 Exp machine (on WinXP) ?
I installed SQL 2005 Exp SP2 on Win XP SP2 on my PC. Please consider following environment:
- My PC name: MyPC
- Database name : MyData
- Database role for MyData without any permissions: MyDBRole
- Application role for MyData having all permisions: MyAppRole
- Database user: MyDBUser
- SQL Login: MyLogin (WinXP Limited Login) mapped to MyDBUser
- Application Name to access MyData: MyApp
- Using Application Role MyRole in MyApp
I am accessing data from MyApp within MyLogin. When I want to access from other tool like Management Studio Express, I can not access it and that that is what I want.
Till now it is OK when I am doing all these things on MyPC.
Now question is : Is it possible to connect from other PC (say CleintPC) running Windows XP SP2 use MyApp ?
I think ClientPC should access MyPC through MyPC's MyLogin.
[ I have tried successful simple SQL server connection with MyPC's Guest Login]
Please tell me is it possible ? (Running SQL Express on one machine, Application on second machine and both machine's operationg system is Windows XP)
Thanks

I had to to relocate the database log file and I issued an Alter database command but by mistake I put a space in the file name as below. The space is at the beginning file name. Now I am unable get the database loaded to SQL Server. The database has 2 replications configured, so deleting and re-attaching the database means the replication needs to be re-configured. Is there an alternative way to issue a command to update the database FILENAME ? Not sure if this can be edited in master database (sys files).
ALTER DATABASE [User_DB]
MODIFY FILE (NAME = User_DB_log, FILENAME = 'I:SQLLogs User_DB_log.ldf')

I found this script online..
SELECT prin.[name] [User], sec.state_desc + ' ' + sec.permission_name [Permission]
FROM [sys].[database_permissions] sec
JOIN [sys].[database_principals] prin
ON sec.[grantee_principal_id] = prin.[principal_id]
WHERE sec.class = 0
ORDER BY [User], [Permission];
but the results are this: 2 columns - User and Permission
User Permission
User1 GRANT CONNECT
User2 GRANT CONNECT
IS there a way in SQL Server (2005/2008/2012) to run a script against a Database that will show all users that have permissions to that Database and the type of permissions?

I am new to SQL server 2005
Windows 2003 Server and all client PCs are all on the same network. I installed SQL 2005 std version on windows server 2003 and created a database and tables in it.
I have two users, who want to connect to SQL server 2005 from their PCs (they have windows XP):
These are two things that I need to facilitate:
1) They want to be able to write queries using Query Designer and run from their PCs.
2) I created an MS Access database on my PC, I want to use Access database as a front end to the SQL server database. I will create queries, forms in Access DB, and I want to be able to get the data from SQL server Database to do this. I guess I can use ODBC to connect to tables in SQL server database.
3) I want to connect SQL server to Oracle database, and run oracle stored procedures. I want to load the results of oracle stored procedures into SQL server database tables. I guess I will use IIS for this.
Any suggestions are appreciated, especially with item number 1.

Stupid question but please be gentle and answer anyway please....
Background: We have SQL Server 2003 (32bit) running on our servers. Our .Net applications (from old release of VS) are still running on them and using the old databases. From what I understand there is no immediate plans to upgrade the servers. However the developers were just given this new upgrade (2005) SQL Server and VS (and fixing depreciated code etc in the .net apps).
Question: Can the applications and new stored procedures written via the 2005 environment be deployed successfully on the 2003 Servers? Same goes with Reporting Services?

I am currently running a windows 2000 machine with asp, sql server,mail server, ftp server etc all on the same box.The site runs several hundred ecommerce stores. Recently theprocessor utilization has been spiking and I have decided to getanother server and use sql server on one and asp on the other.So now I have a new windows 2003 server that I have setup all of theasp code on. Problem is that when I run the asp code from the newwindows 2003 server it is extremely slow compared to the code runningon the old windows 2000 server which is where the sql server databaseis also located.From everything I have read the best way to optimize your site is touse 2 separate servers one for iis/asp and one for sql server.Am I doing something wrong here or is this normal??Could this possibly be just because the old server is still servingmany requests and is pushing the requests from the new server to theback of the line?Does anyone have any ideas?The syntax I am using to open the connection string is:db_ConnectionString = "Driver=" & db_Driver & ";Server=" & db_Server &";UID=" & db_UIN & ";PWD=" & db_pwd & ";Database=" & db_Database & ";"conn_store.Open db_ConnectionStringwhere db_server is the ip address of the windows 2000 serverIs there a better way to do it across a network??Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.

Hello all,
I have 2 networked PC's both running vista ultimate
1st is Laptop and is running its own SQL Server at laptoplaptopSQL
2nd is Desktop and is running its own SQL Server at desktopdesktopSQL
Now both machines have seperate windows login accounts.
When I go SQL Server management studio I go to browse and each machine can see the other machines SQL Server, but when I go to login I get SQL Login falied for users" The user is not associaed with a trusted SQL server connection".
So I then go to logins new login and try to add my other pc's user account.
The problem I see is that when I go to search and then location it only shows its own PC's location and not the location of my other networked pc? So if I am on Desktop and in my theory want to add laptopuser to the desktop SQL Server logins I get:
"create failed for login laptopuser
An exception occurred while executing Transact SQL statement laptopuser is not a valid windows NT name. give the complete name
Not sure on where to go from here.
Any help would be great

Hi Folks,
I have a 3 tier app and want to build a dedicated network between the app server and it's DB server. Both machines have an interface on the main network and also an interface on the dedicated network. I want to force all the SQL traffic (or even all traffic if that is the only solution) between the app and it's SQL server onto the dedicated network......?
We're using SQL Server 2000.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
Cheers

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,
Currently we take full database backups nightly for our SQL Server 2000 data warehouse systems. The backups take a very long time over 20 hours and we would like to find a good way to reduce these backup times. How can I change our backup plan to reduce the long backup run times. Data size is 1 TB for our data warehouse database server.

If I execute the command ALTER DATASE SET MULTI_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE and there are any connections to the database, the command fails with a "Lock request time out period exceeded." message. If I use SET RESTRICTED_USER, the command succeeds with the following message: "Nonqualified transactions are being rolled back. Estimated rollback completion: 100%." This seems to be a bug.

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?
