Sleeping Processes
Mar 8, 2007Hi, just a quick problem/question. Why do processes in the middle of the package goto sleep? Is there a method of making them go?

View 2 RepliesDear, Our ASP.NET scripts send SQL statements (as inline SQL or SP) to process the requested job. After the job execution, the process ID stays in the server and waits for next command with sleeping status.Since this process does not go away, next job adds another process and eventually, the server is overloaded with these processes and dies. How can I kill this sleeping processes?Regards,Echo

I tried to make a stored procedure to kill them but itate all the power of the server, (all users yelled at me at the sametime :o) )Is this length of time normal for killing these processes?ThanksJeff

If an MS SQL 2005 Connection is sleeping in the activity monitor, does it mean it's not closed? I'm pretty sure it's closed, just want to confirm. Lately, our DB server got hammered with requests and it reached max-pool size (we implemented caching after that).

Hi,
I have written an application in VB6 connecting to a SQL Server 2000 database using ADO. This app is running on the same computer as SQL Server.
What I am seeing now is that each day 2-3 new connections are being created by SQL and these connections have a "sleeping" status and "AWAITING COMMAND" command. Also, when double-clicking a
connection, it's last TSQL statement is empty... This way, connections are piling up.
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and what I can do to avoid this ? Also, how can I determine what is causing this ?
Many thanks,
Jurgen Sanders
A developer came over and asked me a couple of things
1. Can C# not cleanup SPIDs and just open new ones lieing around
2. Do a large number of spids, even if they are sleeping, cause performance issues?
3. What's the Max # of spids sql server can handle?
BOL ain't too helpful right now
I have SQL Server 7.0 and I am not able to kill one of the SPID's who is running a SELECT Statement and showing as sleeping.
When I saw in the current activity in EM I see the STATUS as sleeping
COMMAND as SELECT, APPLICATION as Microsoft Transaction server, WAITTIME as 7877 and WAITTYPE as EXCHANGE and CPU 10074
Thanks in advance.
I have processes running on the server that show a status of "sleeping" from sp_who and sysprocesses, however they are still running. I run sp_who over and over again and only occasionally the process status shows running, and then switches back to "sleeping" or "defwakeup". I know what all the statuses mean, I just don't know why a running process would ever show as "sleeping". The processes take a very very long time to run as well.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
Hi guys,
I may be asking a foolish question but I really need an answer for it.. We have our centralized servere where SQL Server 2005 is installed.... Whenever open the management studio from our desktops, execute some queries (It may be any simple query such as select * from) I find the status of that process 'sleeping'...untill we close the studio or in other words untill that process is killed..
I find the status by Management -> Activity monitor...
Please help me with it...
Has there been anything wrong while setting up Sql Server ?
Please help me ...
Thank you so much...

I was trying to find the bottle neck on our server while we wererunning a couple very large updates.I ran the following query and noticed there were a couple sleepingspid's that were really eating up the memory. One had a value of16000.I guess my question is was this query still holding on to that memoryeven though the query had finished? Why didn't SQL Server clean it up?select spid,substring(Loginame,1,10) Login,memusage,substring(hostname,1,15) Host,program_name,cmd,statusfrom master..sysprocessesorder by memusage desc

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
We have a web application with multiple users connecting to SQL Server 2005 database.
Once the users start using the system, I could see in the Process Info from the activity monitor with a several process with status as sleeping and command as Awaiting Command.
I have few questions regarding this for which simple answers would help me ( I searched and couldnt understand from the pages that explained the process information )
My questions are,
1. Does the processes with status sleeping and command as Awaiting Command are needed for the application even after the operations specific to them are complete?
2. Does these process affect the performance ?
3. Does killing these process would affect the application connectivity ?
4. Why do we get several process with status sleeping and command as Awaiting Command? Is this because of the front end programming errors ?
5. What should we do to avoid the increasing number of process with status sleeping and command as Awaiting Command?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Hi
We just installed SQL service pack 4. I am now finding that when doing a sp_who2 active, there are a lot of connections that are blocked by itself. The common factor is they all have a status of 'sleeping'. The strange thing is that even though it shows the connection is blocked, it is in fact not and will still return results. Below is a snapshot of a portion of what the sp_who2 active returns:
SPID Status Login HostName BlkBy DBName
53 sleeping sa TRACKER 53 dbABC
58 sleeping sa TRACKER 58 dbCDE
64 sleeping sa TRACKER 64 dbSTA
66 RUNNABLE User12 PC24 . master
70 sleeping User5 ANALYSIS 70 dbBML
74 sleeping sa TRACKER 74 dbCDE
76 sleeping sa TRACKER 76 dbPTS
83 sleeping User5 ANALYSIS 83 dbANA
86 DORMANT User11 CPTDB . NULL
Has anyone seen this? Is it related to the installation of service pack 4? (We have installed the services pack on many other SQL servers, but have not come accross this before.

I am using SQL Server 2000. In Enterprise Mgr, under Management/CurrentActivity, I see a list SPIDs.I have a multi-tiered .NET web app that uses ADO.NET to connect to thedatabase. Each time a Stored Proc is called, a new connection is opened, thedata retreieved, and the connection closed and set to Nothing (in VB.NET).Yet, I see several (15 or so) SPIDs for the user ID that the web app uses toconnect to the database.The database is local and private, so I know all connections are from me.What does Status=SLEEPING Command=Waiting Command mean?What will happen when we get 1000's users on the web app?Is SQL doing some kind of connection pooling?

I downloaded visual express for web development with sql express. Running fine. Like SQL so much, decided to pop for the Developer package. I don't know what I was thinking, maybe I was going to pay for popcorn for billy g & family in the home theatre that night...but I digress.
After much consternation and a 4:00 a.m. adventure, I managed to get rid of SQL Express and install the developer edition. Now were fine. Even ran the aspnet_regsql and set up the aspnetdb database.
I'm thinking, back to development here.
I select APP_DATE and if I try to add the ASPNETDB.mdf file I get the application is being used by another process. Please close all applications that might access this file and try again. So, I then try to create a new database file. I get this error:
Connections to SQL Server Files ( *.mdf) require the SQL Server Express 2005 to function properly.
I can create a connection to the aspnetdb database in the database connections. However, as I work with some of the new ASP NET Membership/Role code, I find it doesn't work.
Will most code work if the ASPNETDB.mdf is not set up int he APP_DATA section?
Come on Microsoft, I can't be the only shoe-string developer that is going to try this.
Has anyone done this and resolved how to get these two to play along.
If I upgrade to Visual Studio, will I still be straddled with SQLExpress.
Can I run SQLExpress side by side with SQL Developer addition?
During our DR drill we found that the same code which used to run perfectly fine on our Primary Data Centre is running very slow on Disaster Recovery DB Server and there are Lot's of open transaction with sleeping status and waittype as 'AWAITING COMMAND'.CPU, Memory and disk utilization are good. The ping reply between the app server and the DB server is well within the limit's even blocking is not their, also nothing is reported in the error logs. We are using SQL server 2014 STD 64 BIT on Windows Server 2012.

Once I have killed blocking sleeping query but then other sleeping query blocked it and so on.
I have upgraded a MS SQL database from 6.5 to 7.0. The database functioned fine in 6.5, now I have a table that is locking due to a blocking process. If I kill the process all is fine, but am trying to determine what is causing the process to hang. Has anyone experience any similar situations.

Hi.
Very long story and I will not bore you with it. What I need to do is call a stored procedure and from within that stored procedure, initiate other sp and get out before those other sp are finished running.
I know I can execute a job but my volume would be about 1 job per second with a life of 2-5 seconds. So in a very short period of time, I can stack up a large volume of jobs.
Anyone have any better ideas ?
Help Please !@!!

I have an SQL server with several (100) users connected. When I run a long running process, it severely impacts user performance. The long running process is a store procedure with several cursors.
Are there SQL configuration settings that would reduce the impact of these long running processes on other Users?
/*
The Following Stored Procedure helps to
Kill All Processes in a Particular DataBase
With Out Current Process
*/
Create Proc Sp_KillAllProcessInDB
@DbName VarChar(100)
as
if db_id(@DbName) = Null
begin
Print 'DataBase dose not Exist'
end
else
Begin
Declare @spId Varchar(30)
DECLARE TmpCursor CURSOR FOR
Select 'Kill ' + convert(Varchar, spid) as spId
from master..SysProcesses
where db_Name(dbID) = @DbName

END
CLOSE TmpCursor
DEALLOCATE TmpCursor
end

I have been needing to disconnect users often, before backing up a database or setting it to restricted users.
Each time, I have to go to Current Activity & kill one process at a time. Is there a way, by which I can kill all processes on a database or force out all coonections to it?
Thanks.
What is the max number of processes that can be running at the same time?

Hi All
When i see the result of Sp_who2, i see the status of a process as
"SUSPENDED" for some of the processes like logwriter, checkpoint etc.
and also found the same status for "IF @@TRANCOUNT>0 COMMIT TRAN"
Please let me know what does it mean in the context of SQL 2005

I need to know exactly what VBA lines Create and Destroy SQL ServerProcesses - i.e. those visible in Enterprise Manager under Management[color=blue]> Current Activity > Process Info.[/color]Why?I am experiencing strange behaviour with Processes that are createdwhen I create a DAO Database Object with the following line:Set m_ResDatabase = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase(strDSN, False,False, strODBC)This creates the process as expected.However the following lines don't always close the ensuing Process:If Not m_ResRecordSet Is Nothing Thenm_ResRecordSet.CloseSet m_ResRecordSet = NothingEnd IfIf Not m_ResDatabase Is Nothing Thenm_ResDatabase.CloseSet m_ResDatabase = NothingEnd IfIf Not m_ResWorkspace Is Nothing Thenm_ResWorkspace.CloseSet m_ResWorkspace = NothingEnd IfIt seems as if SQL Server keeps hold of the first two Processes andthen will release any subsequent ones.Can anyone shed any light in this - or any good web pages where Imight find some answers?Regards Chris

I had to move my developed software onto another computer in order to demo this. The new computer has IIS installed as well as VS2005 and SQL Server 2005. When I try to execute I get this error.
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)
