SQL Server 2008 :: Backup Of Distribution Database Hangs On Stored Procedure
Nov 29, 2014
Have a server running 14 production databases, 12 of which are replicated (transactional replication) to a second server for reporting. Distributor on same machine as publishers. All set to 'SyncWithBackup' = true, distribution set to Full recovery mode, log backups every 30 minutes, full backup nightly. This generally runs just fine.
Occasionally, the process 'hangs' indefinitely (has gone 12 hours or more before being caught) and I need to stop the backup job, stop one or more of the log reader agents, and restart everything, and it proceeds just fine. Annoying, but not fatal, and not very often.
This time, no matter what, the backup job hangs when it runs. This is true whether it is the FULL backup or just a Transaction Log backup. It hangs on the stored procedure sp_msrepl_backup_start, at the point where it is attempting to update the table 'MSrepl_backup_lsns'. When it is hung like this, all of the log reader agent jobs are also hung, blocked by this stored proc. I've tried stopping ALL of the log reader agents prior to starting the backup, but the backup process still hangs up at the same spot and never ends.
I can run the select statement in that SP that gathers the data for the databases 'manually' in a query window and it finishes in about 10 seconds. It actually seems to be hung up on the 'UPDATE' statement. When it is hung, I cannot SELECT from MSrepl_backup_lsns unless I append WITH (NOLOCK) to the statement. Nothing else I can find indicates that there is anything else locking that table. DBCC OPENTRAN shows that there is a lock on that table held by that stored proc -- but I can't see any reason why it won't update the table (17 total records) and move on.
As I said, normally this runs just fine. Totally baffled by what may be causing this at this time.

I am trying to run xp_cmdshell from the Query Analyzer using SQLServer 2000 running on Windows 98.It seems like it should be simple - I'm typingxp_cmdshell 'dir *.exe'in the Query Analyzer in the Master db. I'm logged in as sa.The timer starts running and never stops. No error message.Can anyone PLEASE help me with this? Any suggestions would beappreciated. Are SQL Server 2000 extended stored procedures notsupported in Windows 98? I've tried searching the Knowledge Base butcan't find anything.Thanks!

Hi all,
I have set up sql 2005 transactional replication .The environment here cannot accept latency so I guess I will have to go with sync db option at the distribution db.My question is what should be my distribution db back up strategy.Should it be scheduled after the backup of the publication db.I am confused.Somebody please help me regarding scheduling it.
Thanks,

I have a scheduled task that runs backups on our prodcution database at midnight - it usually takes five minutes to run - but the last two nights it has been running for hours and never completing. It ran for 3 hours last night - until i was paged by the database that the transaction log backups were failing (with error 3023) to run because the backup (Backup Database db to db1_nightly with init) job was still running.
The night before our European users could not reach the database - the machine was locked up when I got in in the morning - needed a hard boot to get it back up.
I ran the backup job last night at 8:30 pm and it succeeded - but when it ran at 12:00 AM for the last two days - it runs and never completes. When I tried to kill the process in Enterprise Manager at 3:00 AM, it wouldn't stop. I tried stopping the SQLAgent Service and MSSQLSERVER service to stop the process, with no luck. Finally an early morning drive and a hard boot killed the process.
Any thoughts? There were no new jobs scheduled in the last couple of days. There is no error in the logs (the step never completes - so it's not recorded). The backup works fine if run earlier in the day.
I am running SQL 7.0 with SP2.
Thanks you for any ideas - I'm hoping not to have to drive in at 3 AM this morning - so any thoughts would be great.

Can anyone point me to the right direction with the stored procedure on making a backup of the database. I am not looking for a scheduled backup. I'm looking for when the stored procedure get executed, the backup start right away. I believe it also require a username and password as well.
Thanks...

I am trying to modify a script that to back databsae in t-sql.I put it in a stored procedure with one paramenter dbname.I would like if a dbname is passed when calling the sproc, it will only backup this database, if no paramenter is entered, the dbname is null, then backup all user databases- no system databases.But I have difficulty to define this two situations in code.
Below is the sproc:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[BackupDB]
@dbname varchar(50)
AS
BEGIN

Hi
I have a stored procedure in SQL Server 2005. It make a backup of a database and restores it to a different name.I use ASP.NET and Framework 1.1.It works really fine when I use SQL Server 2000.
But!When trying to do the same thing on SQL Server 2005, the database seems to be created "half way" I can see that the database is created, but after the name is the text Restoring....It never finish restoring.... and nothing shows in the server logs.
Any ideas?Differences between SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 that I must be aware of?Priviliges?ConnectionString parameters?Drivers?
I'm using .NET Framework 1.1ODBC (SQL Native Client)
Here is the Store procedure code:set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[CreateProjectDataBase]
@AFModelDatabaseProject varchar(200),
@TemplateDbBackupFileAndName varchar(200),
@DatabaseName varchar(200),
@DataFilePathAndName varchar(200),
@LogFilePathAndName varchar(200)
AS
BACKUP DATABASE @AFModelDatabaseProject TO DISK = @TemplateDbBackupFileAndName
WITH INIT
RESTORE DATABASE @DatabaseName FROM DISK = @TemplateDbBackupFileAndName
WITH MOVE 'AdressTNG_Project_Data' TO @DataFilePathAndName,
MOVE 'AdressTNG_Project_Log' TO @LogFilePathAndName
and here is how it is called from within .NET:this.odbcCreateDataBaseCommand.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure;
this.odbcCreateDataBaseCommand.Parameters["@AFModelDatabaseProject"].Value = afModelDataBaseName;this.odbcCreateDataBaseCommand.Parameters["@TemplateDbBackupFileAndName"].Value = TemplateDbBackupFileAndName;
this.odbcCreateDataBaseCommand.Parameters["@DatabaseName"].Value = dbName;this.odbcCreateDataBaseCommand.Parameters["@DataFilePathAndName"].Value = DataFilePathAndName;
this.odbcCreateDataBaseCommand.Parameters["@LogFilePathAndName"].Value = LogFilePathAndName;this.odbcCreateDataBaseCommand.CommandText = "{ CALL CreateProjectDataBase(?,?,?,?,?) }";
this.odbcCreateDataBaseCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();

I have a problem where bcp command is called and executed successfully sometimes but fails randomly.My stored procedure looks like this:
select @SQL = 'select * from [' + @RepositoryName + '] where ( IsNumeric([' + @PhoneField + ']) = ' + CONVERT(varchar(1), @FALSE) + ' OR LEN([' + @PhoneField + ']) <> ' + CONVERT(varchar(2), @ValidLength) + ')'
execute(@SQL)
set @Count = @@ROWCOUNT
if @Count > 0
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
RECONFIGURE
EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell', 1
RECONFIGURE
[code]....
The above procedure is called 4 times from another procedure by passing appropriate parameters. Most of the time, it executes successfully for 2 times before failing. When I try to debug, it always hangs at EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @CommandSQL. The task manager shows bcp.exe as running at this point. Interestingly, the required rows are exported using the bcp command, but the stored procedure does not move further until bcp.exe is manually stopped from the task manager.

I have a rather complex sp that runs for 4 minutes in SQL2000. It computes some messy oil and gas revenue/cost transactions. It involves lots of calls to functions that return single values of all types and also returns recordsets. There are all kinds of joins with temp and memory tables, etc. Just a mess, but it works. However, in SQL2005, it runs and apparently hangs, as it never ends.
I have run the Upgrade Advisor and otherwise, have not found any information that tells me that there are issues with functions or SQL-specific functions, tables, etc. that might cause this. Does anyone on this forum have some pointers on where I might look for assistance on this matter? Surely someone knows something about things working differently in 2005.
Thanks,
Jim

I would like to search for a particular stored procedure written by a developer. I know the name of the procedure but in which db is it residing in. There are 40 databases in this SQL 2008 instance. I search on the name column in sys.all_objects table and it does not return anything. I end up querying sys.procedures on each database to locate the procedure. Is there a system table/view that I can query to look for a procedure, instead of querying sys.procedures on each database one by one?

I want that I will allow a user only to select data from any object and only to alter an existing stored procedure or view. That user can not drop and create any stored procedure and view.
I can assign that user db_datareader role, grant view definition but if I grant alter permission, that user can create, alter and drop any stored procedure and view.

We have SQL 2000 running on Server 2003. The server has 4 GB RAM, RAID 1 and has the /3GB switch in Boot.ini. We have 6 databases, the largest is about 14 GB. Until recently I could use Enterprise Manager to perform database backups to a folder on the same server but now the operation fails. After selecting the location for the backup and clicking OK, the hard drive light comes on but goes out after 15 - 30 seconds. The progress bar does not move. I've waited and waited but nothing further happens and the server doesn't respond. The only solution is to push the power button and let the server re-boot. Very occasionally the backup will run for a minute or two and the progress bar might get to about one third of the way across, (in which case the destination file will show up with more than 0 bytes), but it never completes. I can find nothing in the event log relating to this problem. As far as I am aware, nothing has changed since the last successful backup. Backups to tape using Retrospect appear to work fine but I haven't done a test restore. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try to get the backups working again?

We have a legacy database that have hundreds of stored procedures.
The previous programmar uses a string like servername.databasename.dbo.tablename in the stored procedures.
We now have migrated the database to a new server. The old server is either needed to be replaced by the new server name, or remove it.
I don't know why he used servername as part of the fully qualified name, we don't use linked servers. So I think better removing the servername in all the stored procedures.
I know I can do a generate script, and replace the text and then use alter procedure to recreate all the stored procedures. But since hundreds of them, is there a programmatically way to replace them?

Is it possible to check query execution plan of a store procedure from create script (before creating it)?
Basically the developers want to know how a newly developed procedure will perform in production environment. Now, I don't want to create it in production for just checking the execution plan. However they've provided SQL script for the procedure. Now wondering is there any way to look at the execution plan for this procedure from the script provided?

I am replicating a stored procedure execution, which builds and executes the following dynamic SQL command:
IF EXISTS (select * from MyDB..sysfiles sf (nolock) where name = 'MyDB_201201')
ALTER DATABASE [MyDB] REMOVE FILE [MyDB_201201]
IF EXISTS (select * from MyDB..sysfilegroups sfg (nolock)
where groupname = 'MyDB_201201' and sfg.groupname not in(
SELECT distinct fg.name file_group_name
[Code] ....
I can run this SP with no errors on both the publisher and the subscriber. However, when I try to replicate the execution of this SP, I get an error in replication monitor:
ALTER DATABASE statement not allowed within multi-statement transaction. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 226)
How can I change my code to workaround this? Perhaps some explicit transactions?

I am trying to call a stored procedure into report builder. The stored procedure has 2 parameters. When I run the report with allowing nulls and blank value in the parameters it works fine, but when I enter a value in a parameter it ignores the where clause I had in the original query(stored procedure) and displays everything.

We have a process that uses a stored procedure: sp_MysteryProcedure....
The problem I am having is: I am 95% certain the issue lies with this stored procedure, but I cannot find the process that calls this procedure. It could be a SQL Server Job that calls the procedure directly, it could be an SSIS (*.dtsx) process that calls this procedure, or some other random process.
One of the big issues is we have tons of *.dtsx packages that call a bunch of stored procedures, but it doesn't seem a normal Windows Search (Start --> Search) searches these files (or perhaps something else is going on with this search).
So my question is multi-part.....
1). How would one go about finding a rouge process that loads data via a stored procedure if we believe we know the stored procedures name?
2). How do you search *.dtsx files?

When I run it from the server (Remote Desktop) it works fine, but if I share the folder and try to run it from my pc, it doesn't do anything. I don't get an error, it just doesn't do anything. My windows user has admin rights in SQL. Why is it not executing from my PC?

The developers in our shop have a need to explicitly grant view definition permissions to themselves on stored procedures they create in their development databases. They have dbo level permissions in these databases and although they can explicitly grant view definition permissions to other developers in the same database, they are unable to do so for themselves. When they attempt this, it appears that they are successful but when they check the stored procedure afterwards the permission is not there for themselves.
While this does not cause an issue in development, the intention is for these view definition permissions to be carried forward to the test and production databases where they only have datareader permissions.
When these stored procedures are scripted out by the dba to move to Test and Production the view definition permissions are not scripted out for the developer in question.
Is there a way that a developer with dbo rights in a database can explicitly grant themselves view definition permissions on a stored procedure they create as dbo?

I'm seeing where previous developers have used a single stored procedure for multiple reports, where each report required different columns to be returned. They are structured like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GetSomeData (@rptType INT, @customerID INT)
AS
BEGIN
IF @rptType = 1
BEGIN
SELECT LastName, FirstName, MiddleInitial
[Code] ....
As you can see, the output depends on the given report type. I've personally never done this, but that's more because it's the way I learned as opposed to any hard facts to support it.
So what I'm looking for is basically 2-fold.

I'm looking for an easy way to run all stored procedures in a database that match a specified criteria.
Under normal curcumstances, I'd create a "master" procedure that would call each one in turn using the "EXECUTE" syntax.
As there will be around 140 procedures (there are a few more but they are used for different purposes), I'd like to try and execute them dynamically.
Is there any way of finding out which procedures match the pattern of "usp_merge_*" for the name and executing it?
