I have been told that I need to setup a crossover cable between a Server that has an application to have a dedicated NIC (using a crossover cable) to a server that has SQL 2005 Sp2 for fast access. How is htis done as far as SQL Properties, and NIC Settings, How do I make sure SQL will transmit using that 2nd NIC?
Thanks,

I have a dual cpu machine. How can I dedicate a cpu for sql server only?--John Dalberg
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been told by a vendor that MS SQL Server's *determination of weeks does not cross year boundaries*--meaning for any new year--that it doesn't count the number of weeks correctly. I.e. for the year 1999 week #53 was 12/26 - 12/31 and for 2000 week #1 was 1/1 - 1/1/.
I have searched the Microsoft site and was unable to find anything on a bug of this nature. Anybody know of any such thing or have any *ammo* that I can *shoot* at the vendor to prove this theory to the contrary?
Thanx much ;-)

We just purchased a Quad Core xeon server. It it my understanding that express can only utilize a single cpu/core. Is there a way I can setup windows or ms sql server to dedicate one particular core soley for ms sql?

As my habit, i love to create 2 DBs for one apllication, for example the applaication name is HHH, i would love to create two DBs named HHH and HHHLog.
For HHH, recoording any transaction , for HHHLog, it's only for log alll knids message and archive some transaction tables monthly.
Is this good?
or just one DB is OK.
Give some feedback, thanks.
We have a Customized share point application with Very minimal data usage and we have used only 5 to 6 lists and libraries only in the share point.
Configuration is
Clients -- fire wall --- Load Balancer ---- WF1 and WF2 --- SQL DB
ROUTING IS VIA FIRE WALL.
SUDDENLY THE SITE GOT DEAD SLOW AND UNABLE TO TRACE THE PROBLEM AS EVERY THING LOOKS FINE.
Checked with the firewall Team and they stated its fine from their end & even we have verified the counters, CPU, Memory & Page life expectancy, buffer counters all looks good and even we do not have huge data in the database. We have only 50 concurrent users are working...
What sort of traffic would be going on between the machine I am on Enterprise Manager and have a server registered (my local machine) to the actual SQL server? I haven't logged onto the actual SQL machine I only have it listed as a registered server and it's sitting there in the list with it's little green "started" icon.
I'm asking because i'm getting accused for a server going down. I opened my EM around the same time as this SQL server went down and some network people see my machine talking to the SQL server at the same time.
Any ideas? Thanks...
Hi,The application setup is: Access frontend + ODBC (TCP/IP) + MSSQL7Few days ago i was informed that the app generates high networktraffic. Thusi started to look for some savings.I found out (sniffer) that even if the client is idle every 30sek. aTCP packet comes from client to server, then answer goes back. Thepacket seems to be empty (TCP data is 1 byte: 0x00), the answer isempty as well. Seems like kind of watchdog. And it does not seem to berelated to ODBC refresh and any other option possible for setup inAccess client (I set those settings to different that 30sek. values,and 30 sek. traffic still exists).Does anybody know what those packets are for, what module isresponsible for them and how to change interval?My best regards for anybody reading this post,Mirek

I have a system set up with 2 servers, the master server replicating the data to the backup server. Each server has two network cards, 1 which links directly to the other server.
The problem is the replication is being routed round the network making the direct link useless.
How can this be ammended!!
They are both logging into the same primary controler.
I am open to sugestions
OK, I'm troubleshooting a performance issue on one of our production servers, but I really can't t-shoot and tweak in real-time, so I took a snapshot of "a day in the life of" my production server using the profiler.
I want to run the sql commands I collected on another server I set up identical to production, and play around there.
Does anyone know of a good tool to "replay" those captured commands onot another server?

We are using the following configuration:
2 stand alone Windows 2003 servers 64 bit.
Each have two Gig Network cards configured with different IP addresses.
Each running multiple instances of SQL Server 64.
I am trying to set up a mirror where mirroring traffic between servers will be dedicated to a secondary IP address on the second NIC.
I am also trying to avoid Windows authentication.
Interesting enough: Security Configuration screen suggesting you to use fully qualified TCP addresses and, at the same time, does not give you such an option...
Would someone please point me in the right direction?
Thank you.
I have a database of details of users that visit my site. Among other things, it saves the ipaddress and the date/time of the visit. I would like to be able to determine the unique visitors (by ipaddress) that i have on any given day. The problem though is that the data is saved as a date and a time, thus when I try and determine the unique visitors, since they are all a different time, MSSQL thinks they are all unique visitors. Any ideas how I can get around this without acctually modifying the data in the underlying table?

Hello, we are trying to find a way to send all SQL traffic from multiple machines in a DMZ trough only one point. This way the firewall doesn't need to be opened to each and every machine.
This may be a simple question but I have never done it before. Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
Query(a report) to list the technicians/traffic controllers separately with following details.
EmployeeId,Name,Salary,Address,UnionId, and the most recent medical examination date for traffic controllers
Employee (EmployeeId(p),Name,Salary,Tpye).
MedicalExamination(MedicalNo(p),EmployeeId,MedicalDate)
EmployeeUnion(EmployeeId(p),UnionId(p))
"Type" field in Employee table tells whether its a technicians or a traffic controller.only traffic controllers has medical examination.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWould anyone have a suggestion on how to setup a partner to partner NIC configuration for heartbeats/mirroring traffic? I've been told this is the recommended setup but have not found much on how to do it. We currently have a teamed NIC config for redundancy, but would like to have a separate set of NICs on each partner so that mirroring traffic is not interrupted by any regular network traffic.
We also have a witness running in full safety mode. Does this mean partnerA and partner B both need NICs with a crossover cable between them AND is it recommended for the witness to also have extra NICs to both partnerA and partnerB (w/ crossover cables)?
Any suggestions/help/links on properly configuring this would be appreciated.
Ive read a few docs and i have some doubts about the implementation i ll make.
I will setup a FCI between ServerA and ServerB. So my databases will be running on server A or on ServerB. they will be replicated using AllwaysON to ServerC.
Because ill use a diferent vlan for AllwaysON replication iam having some doubts on how can i set the endpoints...
For example.
I ll have the following ips configured for AllwaysON replication on Server A, Server B and Server C 10.10.240.1/10.10.240.2/10.10.240.3
Database teste will be running on serverA. the endpoint configured will be 10.10.240.1 but when database fails over to Server B (using FCI) the ip configured there will be 10.10.240.2... so AO replication will stop working.
I tough on associating a virtual ip to the AllwaysON cluster resource but Microsoft doesn't recommend to alter AllwaysON cluster resource.
How can i implement this configuration?
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?
Hi,
We have an old machine which holds SQL server 2000 database. We need to migrate a whole database to a new machine which has SQL server 2005.
When we tried to move whole database using Import and Export Wizard, only tables can be selected to import/export. However we want to import/export the whole database, including tables, stored procedure, view, etc. Which tool should we use?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am having a problem connecting my .net applications from the application server to the database server. When I run the application from my windows xp (sp2) box it works fine. When I try to connect via SQL Management Studio to the database server from the application server I get the same error.
Here is the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
Here is the Environment:
App Server:
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
Inside Company's Firewall/ Network
Database Server:
Windows Server 2000 Advanced Edition
SQL Server 2000 SP4
Remote Connections to the Server is checked
Enable Protocols: Named Pipes & TCP/IP
TCP/IP Port: 1402 (I don't know why it isn't the default of 1433)
The db server is sitting out side the Company's firewall (don't ask me why). I can access it fine from inside the firewall on my XP box but not from windows server 2003. There is a web server outside the our network that also connects to the db server with no problem and that is running Windows Server 2003 Web Edition.
I can ping the db server from the app server using the IP address.
I tried using the IP address and the port 1402 in my connection string but that didn't work from any machine (XP and Server).
I imagine the issue is somehow related to the company's firewall but why would it only block Windows Server 2003 and not XP?
What do I tell the network admin to change?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Oran
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.
Dear all,On Win2000 server with SP3, I am trying to access a SQL Server 7.0database, "TestDB", from VB6 via a SQL Server ODBC system DSN using ADO2.7. In SQL Server Enterprise Manager, there is a login named "Tester".In its property window, NO "Server Roles" was assigned but its"Database Access" was set to "TestDB". This login was also made as theuser of "TestDB" with "public", "db_datareader" and "db_datawriter"selected as its "Database role membership". All the tables I am tryingto access in "TestDB" were created under "Tester".My code is like:Set conn = New ADODB.Connectionconn.Open "DSN=TestDSN;UID=Tester;PWD=test"Set cmd = New ADODB.Commandcmd.ActiveConnection = conncmd.CommandText = SQLset rs = cmd.Execute()If I set the SQL to something like "SELECT * FROM tbl_test", I alwaysget an error of "-2147217865" saying "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL ServerDriver][SQL Server] Invalid object name tbl_test". If I set the SQL to"SELECT * FROM Tester.tbl_test", everything runs properly. Could anyoneplease kindly advise why the first SQL is not working? Or in otherwords, why must I prefix the table name with its owner while the DBconnection is already made under that owner name? Thanks in advance.Tracy
