I have a SQL 2k database, relatively small, < 1Gb, WinXP. Whenever I try to do anything in Ent Man I get the hour glass for minutes every time. Customers are not complaining. Performance Monitor and the db logs have not revealed any bottlenecks so far. Hardware tested good. All other applications run normally. Log file is about 80mb. This has started just recently.
I am a rookie so I need a hint on what to check. Indexes? Logging?
I want to set up a database role so that users can use sp_readerrorlog through SSMS. It does a check on membership in the securityadmin role.
I have tested it and can see you can grant execute on xp_readerrorlog but the SSMS GUI uses sp_readerrorlog.
I thought I could create a user/certificate and add the signature to sp_readerrorlog but it's not permitted (likely because it's not a normal database object).
So the other solution is to add the users to the securityadmin role but then explicitly deny alter any login (best done with a custom server role in 2012+ but otherwise just manually in 2008). I tested this out and it works, I'm not able to alter any logins or increase my own permissions, I also did a check of what's reported from fn_my_permissions(null, null) and it shows minimal permissions like I'd expect.
We are using Win2k3 R2 with SQL 2000 in a domain environment.
Is it possible to create a domain group to grant admin level and user level access to SQL2000/2005 without giving users server admin or domain admin access?
It has always been my impression that to have admin access to SQL that you had to at least had admin level access on the server.
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi there,
I was wondering if someone can point out the error or the thing I shouldn't be doing in a stored procedure on SQL Server 2005. I want to switch from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 which all seems to work just fine, but one stored procedure is causing me headache.
I could pin the problem down to this query:
DECLARE @Package_ID bigint
DECLARE @Email varchar(80)
DECLARE @Customer_ID bigint
DECLARE @Payment_Type tinyint
DECLARE @Payment_Status tinyint
DECLARE @Booking_Type tinyint
SELECT @Package_ID = NULL
SELECT @Email = NULL
SELECT @Customer_ID = NULL
SELECT @Payment_Type = NULL
SELECT @Payment_Status = NULL
SELECT @Booking_Type = NULL
CREATE TABLE #TempTable(
PACKAGE_ID bigint,
PRIMARY KEY (PACKAGE_ID))
INSERT INTO
#TempTable
SELECT
PACKAGE.PACKAGE_ID
FROM
PACKAGE (nolock) LEFT JOIN BOOKING ON PACKAGE.PACKAGE_ID = BOOKING.PACKAGE_ID
LEFT JOIN CUSTOMER (nolock) ON PACKAGE.CUSTOMER_ID = CUSTOMER.CUSTOMER_ID
LEFT JOIN ADDRESS_LINK (nolock) ON ADDRESS_LINK.SOURCE_TYPE = 1 AND ADDRESS_LINK.SOURCE_ID = CUSTOMER.CUSTOMER_ID
LEFT JOIN ADDRESS (nolock) ON ADDRESS_LINK.ADDRESS_ID = ADDRESS.ADDRESS_ID
WHERE
PACKAGE.PACKAGE_ID = ISNULL(@Package_ID,PACKAGE.PACKAGE_ID)
AND PACKAGE.CUSTOMER_ID = ISNULL(@Customer_ID,PACKAGE.CUSTOMER_ID)
AND PACKAGE.PAYMENT_TYPE = ISNULL(@Payment_Type,PACKAGE.PAYMENT_TYPE)
AND PACKAGE.PAYMENT_STATUS = ISNULL(@Payment_Status,PACKAGE.PAYMENT_STATUS)
AND BOOKING.BOOKING_TYPE = ISNULL(@Booking_Type,BOOKING.BOOKING_TYPE)
-- If this line below is included the request will take about 90 seconds whereas it takes 1 second if it is outcommented
--AND ADDRESS.EMAIl LIKE '%' + ISNULL(@Email, ADDRESS.EMAIL) + '%'
GROUP BY
PACKAGE.PACKAGE_ID
DROP TABLE #TempTable
The request is performing quite well on the SQL Server 2000 but on the SQL Server 2005 it takes much longer. I already installed the SP2 x64, I'm running the SQL Server 2005 on a x64 environment.
As I stated in the comment in the query it takes 90 seconds to finish with the line included, but if I exclude the line it takes 1 second.
I think there must be something wrong with the join's or something else which has maybe changed in SQL Server 2005. All the tables joined have a primary key.
Maybe you folks can spot the error / mistake / wrong type of doing things easily.
I would appreciate any help you can offer me to solve this problem.
On the web I saw that there is a Cumulative Update 4 for the SP2 which fixes the following:
942659 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/942659/)
FIX: The query performance is slower when you run the query in SQL Server 2005 than when you run the query in SQL Server 2000
Anyhow I think the problem is something else, I haven't tried out the cumulative update yet, as I think it is something different, more general why this query takes ages to process.
Thanks again for any help

Hi,
we have performance problems with MS SQL Server 2000. We upsized an Access
2000 application to MS SQL server, using linked tables. Most of the time
the performance is fine (there are at most 10 users connected to the server
at the same time). However, it regularly happens that the database stops
responding. Queries, which normally take 20 ms to execute, require 20
seconds or more. In the Access client this looks as if Access has hung, it
is not responding, even though it eventually comes back to live. What I
have found out is that if I restart the SQL server, the problem disappears
and the performance stays fine for some time. This in mind, I set up a
batch which stops and restarts the SQL at night. However, recently the
problem started appearing even when the SQL server was running for only a
few hours.
I also looked at the performance monitor at both the client workstation and
the server and even when the response time are slow, the processor usage
both at the workstations and the server is under 10 percent.
I wonder whether anybody could help me with this problem. I realise that
using linked tables in Access is not the best thing for achieving good
performance, but I still would expect at least decent performance. At the
moment the situation is worse than if we were using just Access.
For your information, the computer which the SQL server runs on is a dual
processor Pentium Pro 200 MHz, with 320 MB RAM and a SCSI RAID. The server
is the only Windows 2000 domain controller on the network and it runs
Active directory. Plus there is also Exchange server 5.5 installed on this
server. This looks like a lot for a single server, but please bear in mind
that there are only 15 users on the network.
It may be also interesting to know that we have only recently upgraded from
SQL server 7 to SQL server 2000, but we were experiencing the same problem
before, even though not so often.
Thank you for any help.

When, at the same network, I run Windows Server 2003, with webserver on it, SQL clients connected to SQL server on other computer server, experience slow work with queries. What seems to be a problem? When I disconnect Windows 2003 Server everything go faster. Why?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHiya folks,
This is more a request for some input from peeps with more experience of SQL than myself. A problem has shown itself on my SQL server over the last week or so, in that the server will 'slow down' intermitently, almost as if the the connection to the server has been lost for about 30 seconds. All will be fine for another minute or so and then the same problem occurs.
The only way I've found to get round this problem is to stop the SQL server and completely restart the server that SQL resides on, then restart SQL. This cures the problem for about a day.
Any offers??
Hello,
I've written a program, which communicates via ODBC with multipe database platforms. In a local network it seems to be everthing OK, but when I connect via VPN (2MBit/s S-DSL) to the MSSQL (2000 SP3) the connection is not only very slow, it seems that the MSSQL only uses 1 % of the bandwith. I don't think that 0,25 KByte/s is quite normal speed. A query takes about 5 - 10 minutes. (And I do a lot of queries...)
If I connect to an Oracle-DB the full bandwith will used (125 KByte/s).
Is there a problem with the SQL2000? How can I solve this behaviour?

Hi,
I am having a problem accessing my sql server database using either Enterprise Manager or Query Analyser. It is awfully slow. Each time I click to expand a database in Enterprise Manager it takes about 25mins to do anything. I was running a DTS package yesterday which failed and have had this problem since. If I access the database via my app everything seems to be running at a normal speed. If I go to my task manager the sql server process is using up 750MB of memory and 750MB of virtual memory??
Has anyone seen this and know how to fix it???
Thanks in advance
Does anyone have any experience with a server slowing down over time to the point that it must be rebooted? This occurs over a time frame of from a few days to as long as a week. The server has a single Xeon 3.6 processor and 8 GB of ram. It executes production SQL scripts against databases contained on the server as well as a data warehouse stored on an AS400 server.
After rebooting, all jobs seem to execute in a reasonable time frame, according to their size and scope.
server was running out of space. drop a database to free up space. the server is slow now like its taking more time to query or delete records than normal. what happend and how do i fix it?

When I query or browse databases or tables in SQL Server 2000 it worksextremely slow. It started working like this from one day to another.I tried reinstalling but it stayed the same.Now I'm installing Service Pack 3, it's curious that executingreplsys.sql, replcom.sql and repltran.sql scripts in the installationis extremely slow too.Did anyone experienced this or have any idea?Thanks in advance.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAn SSIS package to transfer data from a DB instance on SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 is extremely slow. The package uses an OLEDB Source to OLEDB Destination for data transfer which is basically one table from sql server 2005 to sql server 2000. The job takes 5 minutes to transfer about 400 rows at night when there is very little activity on the server. During the day the job almost always times out.
On SQL Server 200 instances the job ran in minutes in the old 2000 package.
Is there an alternative to this. Tranfer Objects task does not work as there is apparently a defect according to Microsoft. Please let me know if there is any other option other than using a Execute 2000 package task or using an ActiveX Script to read records from one source and to insert them into the destination source, which I am not certain how long it might take and how viable will that be?
Any inputs will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

I am asking about a virtual IP for SQL Server, is there a way we can assign a different IP to SQL Server other than the server's(host) IP address? like the same what we do in a clustered env.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently started working with a public sector organisation who have 4 clustered sql instances that has 80% of it's db mirrored.
Looking at the transaction log - it seems that a transaction log backup is a good idea as the log is 4x larger than the data file.But I'm not allowed access to the physical server to check onto which drive I can create the trn. No RDP, no vmware - let's be honest I'm not even allowed to launch cmd line Also the Server Manager informs me "We will need to carefully look at database backups if you guys want to start doing these backups on box, as that will break our off box backup routine (it will screw the transaction chain)."
I don't understand how backing up the transaction log could break the "transaction chain"?

We are consolidating some old SQL server-environments from 'OLD' to 'NEW' and one of our vendors is protesting on behalve of the collation we use on our 'NEW' SQL server.
Our old server (SQL 2005) contains databases with collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
Our new server (2014) has the standard collation Latin1_General_CI_AS
Both collations have CI and AS
From experience I know different databases can reside next to eachother on the same Instance.
The only problem could be ('could be !!') the use of TempDB with a high volume of transaction to be executured in TempDB and choosing for Snapshot Isolation Level ....
The application the databases belong to is very static, hardly updated, and questioned only several time per hour (so no TempDB issue I guess).
using different databases using a different collation running on the same instance?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need some clarification about adding file in to mirrored dataabse in primary server without downtime and breaking the mirror server.
In our environment we are using monutdisks in both the servers. in primary for ex we have F drive for data files under mount disk 3 in mirror server also we have same drive but in mount drive2.
As per my knowledge if it is same drives we can add the ndf files in the primary that will reflect on mirror. but in current situation i am confusing about mount points with different names.
In SQL 2008 R2, if we clone an environment including SQL server, the maintenance plans retain a connection string to the source/original server they got cloned from and are not editable. But, I was able to use a work around by editing them in BIDS and saving them back on the server. But now with 2014, I am facing two issues:
1.I still can edit the package to correct the server connection, with SSDT; but the option to save back to the server is not available any longer!
2.I used to be able to see all my plans under SSIS in 2008 R2 but not in 2014 now. Although, they are listed in SSMS!

As CM doesn't support SQL authentication, and if access SQL Server on another domain with no trust, we cannot use Windows authentication as well.
CM only supports Windows authentication, but for large organizations which will have multi domains.

I have been tasked with auditing all DDL and selected DML events on a production server and logging them to a table. My solution is to use CDC for the DML and a Server-Level trigger for the DDL. Because there should never but much DDL activity on the server (except when performing update tasks) I don't need to worry about the trigger consuming too many resources.
My question is this: Is there any single specification such as DDL_LEVEL_EVENTS that can capture all DDL activity or do I need to specify each and every DDL action in the trigger?
