My SQLMaint integrity checks consistently fail when the "Repair any minor problems" option is checked. The reported reason is that the database must be in single user mode. This doesn't seem practical. Am I missing an option somewhere?
View 1 RepliesOn weekends I have Integrity Checks scheduled to run. Many of these fail for individual databases because users do not log off and the databases cannot be switched to single user mode.
I have checked Books-on-line and have not yet stumbled onto a TSQL command that breaks the connections.
Is there a TSQL command to do this? If not, how can these connections be broken?
I have a few databases on this Windows 2000 Server running
SQL 2000 which were detached from SQL 7.0 and attached to
SQL 2000.
The problem is the Maintenance Plans (Integrity Checks
keep failing on SQL 2000. I 'DTS'ed a SQL 7.0 database to
this SQL 2000 server and ran the Maintenance Plans on that
database. Works fine only for the DTS'ed database.
What am I missing ???
:confused:
Hello, I had a DB Maintenance plan, the schedule is every day, but today I found teh 'Integrity checks job is failed". What is that mean? How to check this. Thanks.

The integrity checks job on the user databases failed over the weekend and here is the error I got from the report:
Database DB_Stores: Check Data and Index Linkage...

Googled the issue and found some articles on this issue, but wanted to also run it by you.
I looked at the maint plan properties and under the integrity tab of the maint plan attempt to repair any problems is checked, this is what I think:
Since attempt to repair is checked, the db was trying to repair the issue and since users were logged into the system
it could'nt repair the issue as the system needs to be in single user mode. I think if we uncheck the attempt to repair
option, then the job would run fine.
But is this the best way to do? how about the errors it was trying to repair? Do we have to fix the error's it was trying to
fix later by changing the db to single user mode.
PLease let me know your ideas, thanks!!
I am using sql server 2012 with HADR (Always on with sql cluster).
We have database maintenance plans through wizard for full backup & DBCC CHECK DB. It was running successfully but it failed with the below error
Execute SQL Task Description: Failed to acquire connection "Local server connection". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.
(A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible.

I can able to take the backup from query window. It is succesful. The Sql Agent has full permissions. I don't think there are any recent changes happen.
Hi,
I want to automate the process of database integrity checks in sql server any suggestions how to do
I get the following error when I try to run the Integrity check aspect of my maintenance plan...
Executed as user: MISSIONAdministrator. sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed.
Microsoft indicates this is b/c sqlmaint.exe is not installed as part of MSDE 2K and that upgrading to latest service pack will solve.
The optimizations work fine...Is there a way to invoke the integrity check w/out using the maintenance plan wizard?
I have log shipping set up between 2 SQL 2000 SP1 Servers on Win 2000. The db is small 10 meg, and when the restore job on the backup server fails I am getting "sqlmaint.exe failed. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed." as the message, the maint paln on the primary server show no error. Anyone seen this before? The restore has worked 3 out of 5 times
View 2 Replies View RelatedSuppose you have two (or more) tables with foreign key constraints. Myquestion is thus:Is it better to check if the fk exists before you try to perform theinsert or let SQL do it for you?On one hand, if you check yourself and the key does not exist you cangracefully handle it (maybe exit out of method with error). If you letSQL do it, the server will throw an error which cannot be suppressed.On the performance side, you doing the check will incur a slight (VERYslight) hit since SQL will ALSO check anyways.

Hi experts,
What is the difference between, Creating rules and creating checks on a field?
They both look the same.

Don't sit back because of failure. It will come back to check if you still available. -- Binu
I have a transaction table which has Date as datetime field, amount and account number. i want to find out count of checks that were written in a period of 4 days which exceeded i.e. > $400, between 401 and 500, > 501 for a single month. the table has data for more than a year and i want the results then grouped in monthly format like in
OCT between 300 & 400 #30 (30 customers gave checks total worth $300-$400 within any 4 consecutive days period in the month of OCT )
between 400 & 500 # 20
> 501 # 10
NOV between 300 & 400 #30
between 400 & 500 # 20
> 501 # 10
and so on for a 6 month period.
What daily/weekly checks do you guys currently perform on your servers and databases?
I recently ran across with an article from SQLServerCentral that listed a couple of daily checks that I'm thinking about implementing on my environment, and some of them are:
DB Missing Recent Backup - Report
DB Missing Recent Log Backup - Report
Drives Low on Disk Space - Report
Error Log Messages Report - Report
Instance Recently Restarted - Report
Job Failures - Report
Large Databases Log File - Report
I already have in place:
Verify is SQL Agent Service is running
Check Disk Space Available
Since I'm going to spend some time on this, I was wondering if there's anything else that you guys have in place or any other 'nice to have' that you guys also might have, so I don't leave anything behind...
Thanks!

I have two connections in a package pointing to two different databases
on the same server. I have to insert records from 'DB1' table 'Gender1'
to 'DB2' table 'Gender2'. Before I do that though, I have to make sure
the minimum value (of all the Gender Keys that are going to be
inserted) of 'DB1' 'GenderKey' (which is an identity field) is greater than the
maximum value of DB2-GenderKey (which is a primary key but not an
identity field). How can I do this simple check? I have to do this process for many different tables ....... Gender table is just an example. If someone can give an detailed explanation on which tasks to use and how to use them (as I am relatively new to SSIS) that'd be great.
Hi all,
I'm trying to use a custom check constraint to insert into a table. I have created a function that checks an item against a authorization date as well and I've coupled this into the constraint. So for example, my function starts:
Code Snippet
ALTER FUNCTION {function1} (@ItemID INT, @AuthDate DATETIME)
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Ret INT
SET @Ret = 0
IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT top 1 ItemID FROM {table1}
Where b1.ItemID = @ItemID
AND @AuthDate <= ISNULL(b1.expirydate, @AuthDate))
BEGIN
SET @Ret = 1
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @Ret = 0
END
RETURN(@Ret)
END
GO
Now i couple that into a check constraint for the same table:
Code Snippet
ALTER TABLE {table1} ADD CONSTRAINT {contraint_name} CHECK (([function1]([ItemID], [AuthorizedDate])=(1)))
GO
Now, when i insert a record into this table with an Authorized Date greater than the ItemDate it should set the @ret value to 1. This is being passed back to the constraint should set 1=1 which is true and therefore should allow an insert, however, i cannot do this. I think this is because it inserts the record and THEN does the check which makes it fail. Is there anyway to do this check before the INSERT without having to use a trigger? I dont want to use a trigger because when we're doing an insert for bulk rows, performance decreases correct?
Is anyone using the -DelBkUps option with their maintenance plan on
SQL 7.0?? if so is it actually deleting the files? Mine is running

I would like to run the following SQLMAINT command on my database every
14days:
At 2:00 AM, this command needs to kick off: SQLMAINT.EXE -D cabinet
-CkAl -CkCat -UpdSts -RebldIdx 100 -Rpt D:MSSQLLOGcab_maint.rpt
Question: How can I "kill" all users, then place the database in "dbo"
mode, run "SQLMAINT", and then release database access back to the
public - all in an automated process.
Any suggestions would be "GREATLY" appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
Was wanting to get some feedback on using sqlmaint to produce database backups in a production environment. Especially on databases > 10GB. My preference is not to use it but I'm arguing with another DBA and wanted some outside feedback.
Thanks.

With MSDE 2K I get the following error message when trying to execute scheduled db maintenance/integrity checks:
"Failed executing API: CreateProcess. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22029). The step failed. "
The Microsoft website tells me this is because sqlmaint.exe is not installed and that installing the latest service pack will solve the problem.
I installed the SP3a and sqlmaint.exe is in the following location:
C:/MSDE/Binn
But I still get the error...
Any Ideas?
Using the new referential integrity constraints that will be made available, will it allow us to manually define the relationships between entities even if there is no true foreign key constraints setup in the database?
Lets say we deleted the FK_Orders_Customers in Northwind between orders and customers.
Or is this ability available now?
Thank for your time.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHello ,
I have got a script which checks for the databases that are offline. and mails the dba when any of the database is offline.
When I schedule the job , for every hour , it gives me an blank mail only with the subject ' status of database on testsql' even though no databases are offline.
So how can I change the script , so that it mails the dba only when a database is offline even though its scheduled every hour or half an hour.
The script is:
Set NoCount on

as [Status] FROM master..sysdatabases WHERE CONVERT(varchar(30),DATABASEPROPERTYEX(name,'Statu s')) = 'OFFLINE'
order by name
OPEN dbname_cursor

I want to check to see if a database exists in SQL Server 2005 Express... using VB.NET (or C#)... Can not use the SQLConnection Object... because I get a Failed Login Attempt... regardless if the DB does not exist or if it is because the User Login is incorrect
Is there some way to check to see if the Database exists (is attached) to the SQL Server 2005 Express Engine?

Hi,
Does TSQL provide methods to check if a file exists?
For example, a TSQL script will read data in a .dbf file into SQL Server. It will check if the file exists before read. How to do this check?
Thank you.
I am a big fan of the backup naming convention used by maintenance plans and the SQLMAINT utility. My problem is that I want to use the same naming convention "db_name_diff_YYYYMMddhhmmss" because of my situation: I'm in California, my databases are in Pennsylvania, I don't have domain access to the servers, I use a scheduling tool (required) that only uses T-SQL or cmd line utilities, and I want the backups named as above. SQLMAINT provides for full and tlog backups, which I have set up, but I want to do diff backups the same way, with the same naming convention. Any ideas?

I run the SQLMAINT.EXE utility nightly to do DBCC checkdb, checkalloc, and checkcat checks on all databases. On one server this check seems to lock up the server displaying error 17832, "unable to read login packets". Once this occurs the only way we can find to get out is to reboot the NT Server. We have observed this behaviour once every two or three weeks. Anyone seen anything similar?
