Database Is Slow To Access After Being Idle For Some Time
Feb 10, 2007I've noticed that after the database have been idle for some time, it takes up to 10 seconds to get it started when something needs to access it. In the event viewer it says that the database <name> have been started.
Obviously, there is some idle timeout setting.
I saw an option in the database properties that is called "Auto Close" which is set to true. I assume this is what i'm looking for. Can someone confirm that? (it could take some time to test myself...)
But what i'm actually wondering is:
1. Is it possible to adjust how long it would wait before timing out?
2. What advantages does closing the database bring? Does it free up (a noticeable amount of) ressources? Or is it only that it's unlocking the files, so that it's possible to copy the database source files?
Slow Startup
Oct 4, 2006I have two pages on a particular website that are data driven by SqlExpress. The site is in the testing stages, so there is very traffic on the site at this point. The very first time that a data driven page is accessed, the response time is approximately 30 seconds. After that, the response on the data driven pages seems normal. The data queried is no more that 30 or 40 records.
I did see the "slow startup from idle" thread on this forum - that thread suggested changing from user instances, but that's not an option here.
My hosting service requires that I specify user instances in my connection string. Is this just something that I'm going to have to live with, or is there any way to speed up this SqlExpress "start up"?

Slow Startup Of SSIS Package If Started Using A SQL Server Job
Apr 25, 2007Hello all,
We have noticed in our environment slowness when starting SSIS packages from SQL Server jobs. I did a quite detailed study on when the slowness actually occurs and what are the consequences. Here are the results.
The SSIS package execution is slow if all the following is true:
The package is started from a job. If started directly as a SSIS package, the execution is fast.
The job is running on a 64 bit Windows Server (SQL Server 2005 SP2). The SSIS package and the job are either on the same server or on different servers (the second server is SQL Server 2005 SP1). If the job is run on a 32-bit workstation (Windows XP SP2) the execution is fast (the SSIS package still being on the server).
The package contains tasks.
§ If there are no tasks, just an empty sequence container, the execution is fast.
§ If a package that has no tasks has logging into the database configured, the execution is fast.
§ Slowness has been verified with A) a package having a single Execute SQL statement and B) a package having a Send Mail task.
It doesn't seem to matter which user account is used on when running the job.
The slowness happens in several locations, e.g. (there are also others, at least the following have been verified)
There is exactly 30 seconds lag between starting the job (as seen from job history) and when PreValidate (as seen in the sysdtslog90 table) of the package appears in the log.
The validation of the package takes 15 seconds (the time difference in the log betwen PreValidate and PackageStart)
The problem is really affecting our production environment. Currently the only solution we have come up is to put all the jobs on a workstation and use the workstation as a production server for the jobs.
I haven't heard anyone else having the same problem.
Server Startup / 100 % Cpu Utilization While Recovering Database @ Startup
Dec 7, 2000database : MS SQL server ver 6.50.201
problem: server startup / server time out
details
SQL server shows usage of 100 % CPU utilization, if started automatically / manually. and does not proceed / hangs up(server time out), but win nt operates extremely slow.
The background of the situation in brief is as stated below.
The errorlog was found to have the messages
warning : OPEN OBJECTS parameter may be too low.
Attempt was made to free up descriptors in localdes()
Run sp_configure to increase parameter value.
Error : 644, severity : 21, state; state 1
the non clustered leaf row entry for page 2 row 1 was not found in index page 40 indexid 2 database 'tempdb'
Error : 2620 severity 21 state 3
the offset of the row number at offset 32 does not match the entry in the offset table of the follwoing page : page pointer = 0x1395800, page no= 40, status = 0x2, objectid = 1, indexid = 2
Action taken
I used the sp_option to increase the open objects from default 500 to 1000, and the LE threshold maximum value to 400 from the default 200.
after which I used reconfigure go and restarted the computer to take the effect. The following did work fine and server was working ok. But then from yesterday I am having the problem that the MS SQL sever is utilizing the cpu to 98 - 99 % and I am not able to connect to the server.
I tried to start the server with the minimal configuration by specifying the -f option in the service manager start up options, it showed the following message
00/12/07 10:40:49.73 ods Unable to connect. The maximum number of '5' configured user connections are already connected. System Administrator can configure to a higher value with sp_configure.
00/12/07 10:40:50.02 ods Unable to connect. The maximum number of '5' configured user connections are already connected. System Administrator can configure to a higher value with sp_configure.
afterwhich I tried with the option of starting the sql server with the option -c -f
which in the event detail of the win nt shows
"mesg 18109: Recovery dbid 6 ckpt(55813,8) oldest tras= (55813,0)"
The open procedure for service "MSSQLServer" in DLL "SQLCTR60.DLL" has taken longer than the established wait time to complete. The wait time in milliseconds is shown in the data.

The dbid is / was 6 for both the instances, the database which is having this dbid is database name "AM" and is having above 1300 tables (approx)
what could be the problem and solution for it?

@@cpu_busy And @@idle
Jun 9, 2003Should these two stats added together give me the time (ms) since SQL Server has been restarted? Maybe I don't understand but @@cpu_busy is the amount of time sql server has accessed the cpu and @@idle is the amount of time sql server has no cpu activity. When I add these two figures together, I don't get the total amount of time (ms) SQL Server has been running. What am I not doing? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Performance Gap After Some Time Of Idle.
Jan 29, 2008Hello everybody,I have a ASP.NET (3.5) Web site which uses an data connection to my Sql Server 2005 Express. When I browse in my data-driven pages of my website, I am satisfied with the performance. But when I try my website after a long break, e.g. in the morning, the data-driven pages take a long time to come up, about 10 seconds. After this gap, when surfing on the other pages, there is no problem. It is only the first page. So it seems that my SQL Server goes "to sleep" after a certain time of idle.First I read a post about this problem which came up with the user instances of Sql Server. So I got rid of my user instance and set up my database "normally". But still I have that performance gap.I am using Linq To SQL and a couple of ListViews. I am totally confused how to manage this problem.Any suggestions?Thanks in advance,Hannes

Idle Connections Termination
Sep 20, 2007folks
We have a situation where people just login run complex queries and then just don't shut off their query analyzer of apps.
Some of these chew up a lot of CPU cycles and unless we kill the query the CPU cycles are not released.
I see some of them are idle for over 1-2 hours or more, their last_batch would be at least 2 hours old.
The question is, "Is there a setting in the sql server whereby we can automatically disconnect idle threads?"

Replication - Distribution Agent Becomes Idle
Aug 21, 2006I have been seeing this issue for several weeks now. The distribution agent will become idle even though there is activity occurring within the replicated database. If I manually start the distribution agent, it will begin retrieving the transactions. I thought that this might be due to inactivity but I have modified the inactivity threshold and I am not receiving an actual inactive agent warning. There are no warnings -- it simply sits there and does not resume sending transactions.
Any thoughts? This is a transactional replication with a distribution agent that is run at the subscriber.
Thanks,

What's The Idle Timeout Of SQL Login Connection?
Jun 8, 2005Hi.. I have application which is connected to my SQL 2000 database. Normally our users use Terminal service to the SQL 2000 and application (same box) remotely and connect to the database. But some time the connection break and I have idle login stuck there.
For example, if I use sp_who, I can see many logins still login to DB even they are out. And sometimes I see duplicate logins too even there is only one person using that login to logon to DB. Is there a way to find out what is the idle timeout of the user login session??
Is that under SQL server properties -->remote server connections-->Query time-out--> >> sec ?
Is there a way to limit only 1 session can be allow for each login ??
DB Connection Is Closed After It Is Idle For Some Time
Dec 7, 2007
I am using MS JDBC driver 2005 1.2 and in-house written connection pooling that was working fine for a number of years. This combination worked OK with SQLserver 2000.

Everything seems work OK during business hours, however, after business hours when there are lesser users and connection stays idle for sometime, I am getting the following error:

Locating Idle Sessions Using Dm_exec_... DMV's
Apr 6, 2006Hi
I have been looking at the new DMV's prefixed with dm_exec_....and found a limitation with them.
Books online says sysprocesses is replaced with sys.dm_exec_connections, sys.dm_exec_requests and sys.dm_exec_sessions. The problem I came accross is identifying any sessions connected to a specific database which were idle. This is the sort of thing you need to know if you tried to restore a database and it says the database is in use.
I wonder if this is a bug or by design?
SQL Express 2005 Going Idle And Not Allowing Connections.
Feb 20, 2007Just upgraded to SQL Express 2005 from MSDE for Firehouse. Upgrade went great and the db is accessable and running fine. Except when not used for a while. Then I need to restart the db to allow connections of any kind. If I don't I get an error that the db is not accessable and I can't connect. Everything runs fine after until it goes to "sleep" on me again. We upgraded to make use of the 4GB limit as we were at 1.9GB and MSDE was getting a little unhappy.
Any suggestions? Is this a "feature" and if so, is there a script I can run to kick it into working mode again?
Thanks

Can't Connect To DB When SqlServer Exp Has Been Idle For A Couple Hours.
Mar 13, 2008Does SQLServer go to sleep when it's been idle? How can I connect without an error?
I have SQLExpress on a server. Server Name is SqlExpress. I have 2 DBs on that server... Tuna & Guppy. I'm connecting to the DBs from a remote PC which runs my App... an exe created with Visual Studio 2008, Visual Basic.
If I run my App at say 9:30PM, after the server has been idle for several hours, I get a "Can't open connection to Guppy" error, which is my error message when the connection attempt fails. If I quit & relaunch the app, it connects fine, and will continue connecting fine unless you leave the server idle for serveral hours again.
If I'm developing a 2nd app all evening... which connects to a 2nd DB...Tuna, that activity seems to keep the SqlServer awake and then launching the 1st app at 9:30PM connects to Guppy just fine.
I tried adding a "Connection Timeout=30" to my connection string but that did not help.
My connection code is as follows (note the server's name is SQLExpress):
Dim strConnG As String = "Data Source=SQLEXPRESSSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Guppy;Integrated Security=True;Connection Timeout=30"
Using ConnG As New SqlConnection(strConnG)
'open Guppy connection
Try
ConnG.Open()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Can't open connection to guppy")
Return False
End Try
'Code that does stuff
End using
Can anyone tell me how to fix this so I can connect without error, even if the server has been idle?
Thank you,
Joe A

Problem With Performance After Leaving SQL Server Express Idle For Some Time
Feb 13, 2007Hi, everyone!
I have this strange problem... After every time my application leaves sql-server idle (doesn't send anything, doesn't retrieve anything) next command to sql-server processes really long.
I've also noticed this bug/feature/misconfiguration even if I open a DB in Management Studio...
Please, could someone tell me, is there any timer that "puts a DB to sleep" if no one is using it for some time? Can I change the way server behaves in this situation?
SQL 2012 :: High Memory Usage On Idle Reporting Services
Aug 25, 2015I know I should probably be posting this in the RS section but I have a Win 2008 R2 server and RS 2012 along with SSIS and Database server installed. I also have SQL 2005 instance with Sql 2005 SSIS running on the server.
I saw that Reporting services was consuming 9gb of ram a few days ago with no published reports. It's just a default install.
So I investigated the settings and the document: [URL]......
I added this section to the reportserver.config file to restrict memory usage
<WorkingSetMaximum>512000</WorkingSetMaximum>
<WorkingSetMinimum>128000</WorkingSetMinimum>
Any example altering the reportserver.config file in your standard build of sql server reporting services?
Stopping/starting Sql Server With Commandlinecommands In Batch To Free Up Idle Connections?
Oct 21, 1999Hello:
We have a new sales force automation application for sales rep to log their contacts, etc. It runs on mssql 6.5, sp 4.
They log in and leave their connections on without logging off or leave their coonections idle .
We set the user connections fiarly high but we are concerned that the max amount of user connections weill be consumed and the sql serve becomes locked.
My questions are:
1) Is there any parameter in the sql server configuration that will log off idle users have a certain time and dsiconnect them?
2) A backup of the database will be made each night. If there is no parameter, would it be a good idea to stop and start the sql server every night to release the idle connections?
3) If so, how to stop sql server from the commadn and start it with a command line command and do this in a batch file as a scheduled task?
4) Is there any other way to release these idle connections each night?
Any information you can supply will be appreciated. THanks.

Startup Parameters...
Sep 3, 2003We have a STD SQL2000 with 2GB memory, which has around 800 databases and is planed to have 1500 databases.
From Microsoft Knowledge Base Q316749, <<By using the -g startup parameter, you can instruct SQL Server to leave additional virtual memory available so that the combination of these log-related allocations and other normal allocations does not run out of virtual address space.>>
but we are not quite sure the correct sytax, so we added -g392 and -g 392 as two new startup parameters. After reboot, in the error log, "initdata: Warning: could not set working set size to 765696 KB.
1. Is this a good way to increase the virtural memory?
2. which system table contains the -g value? and how to fix this error?
thanks

SQL 2000 Startup Issue
Dec 17, 2002Running SQL2000/SP2. DB has approx. 750,000 rows in main table - 500 MB content. Db is set To Truncate on Checkpoint, so no Log file to speak of - ever. System is 667 Mhz PIII with 512 Mb Ram. Disk are ATA133.OS is W2k Server-SP3. Anonaly happens at System startup. Db is coupled with automatic data collection software for manufacturing. It is taking DB longer and longer to "catchup" after each boot. Pref Counters show main problem is Disk Read Queue Length. (CPU % doesn't exceed 40%, normally 7% - SQL was given 1/2 RAM - 256 MB). If Data Collection is not started, DB comes up rapidly (it seems), but manual test inserts show high - protracted disk activity, but tests don't fail, just run slow. After a number of test inserts (7 - 12+), log jam breaks and the processing time drops from 1.5 Minutes to the normal 15-20 Milliseconds!. Similar action is seen with Data collection software running at boot. By design, the Data collection software buffers all inputs to the DB, so no loss, but the disk thrashing is disconcerting. This type of problem is not seen during normal operation (system is closely watched by automated scripts). Main table is routinely reindexed and fragmentation is tracked (never gets above 5% fragmentation). No table is 'pinned' in RAM.
Hints, allegations, and out-right lies glady accepted!

SQL Express Startup Woes
Apr 26, 2006I'm not familiar with SQL Server and am just starting things up. I have VB Express and SQL Server Express (I think - at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't), and am trying to create a database.
So how do I do that?
All I see that relates to the SQL Server 2005 is under All Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> Configuration Tools; I have a configuration manager, Error and Usage Reporting, and Surface Area Configuration. I assumed that in there would be a database engine in here somewhere, but I have rumaged through every command in these and found nothing on creating a new database. Nada.
Am I looking in the wrong places, did something go wrong with my install, or am I just a complete leptic?
Please Help!
