Sql Server Engine In A VM; Data On A SAN?
Jan 10, 2008
Server consolidation is the word of the day here. One of the elements is to use, when applicable, virtual machines in our devstageprod environment. Our sql servers (with local storage) are well utilized and run fine. I don't want to move the entire server (sql 2005 engine + data) into a VM as I think performance will be bad. But, per my question, if only the sql engine is running in a VM while the data is stored on our SAN, I think we may achieve acceptable performance.
Do you have any thought or experience with this mix of Vm and SAN from a sql perspective?
TIA,
Barkingdog

I used sql server 2012 express Import and Export Data (32-bit) wizard to import data from excel 2010 to a given table. But I got the following error message: Error 0xc0202009: Data Flow Task 1: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.An OLE DB record is available.

Hi, all here,
I am wondering where can I store my mining results in data mining engine? For example, I got mining results like accuracy chart, decision trees, and other formats of results based on different mining algorithms I used for my data mining, so where can I actually store the results for reporting service use later? Is it possible to do that in SQL Server 2005?
Thanks a lot for any help and guidance in advance.

We are running 2014 enterprise. Have there been any features added to sql server that ease the challenge of restoring only data? I often find myself creating separate databases so that a restore of a db's data doesnt also restore procs and functions and vice versa.

Hello,
I have downloaded he trial Edition of SQL2005 Enterprise Edition. The data base engine does not install. Since I have previously installed Visual Studio 2008 which has VS 2005 components I uninstalled the SQL 2005 (which only has the configuration tool.
I also uninstalled he SQL Express and Compact Editions. When I tried to install SQL 2005 Enterprise once again the Data Base Engine did not nstall. I do get a warning that IIS is running in 32 bit mode in the pre-setup list,(I am running W2K3 R2 x64). I do not know what tro do I am downloading the trial software again. I need to have the data base engine and management studio. I am baffled as to why it doesn't install the Dtat Base Engine. In my add and remove programs there is no instance of SQL installed. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance. Joe

We have been asked whether it is possible to completely delete sensitive data. When data is deleted it is not actually completely removed from the database but is marked as deleted. It is possible to zero out that data using sp_clean_db_free_space but this doesn't affect the transaction log.
We had hoped that CHECKPOINT would clear the data from the log but we are not completely certain of this. So the question becomes is there a built-in command or function in SQL Server 2008, or subsequent versions, that will completely remove deleted data, both from the transaction log and the database itself? Or is there a 3rd party tool to accomplish the same thing?

I looking for a way of measuring how many MB of outbound SQL data is being transferred during the course of a day from an OLTP instance. Data is pulled from this server by a DW in the same domain and adhoc via a linked server. I'm looking at perfmon but nit sure if this is the correct tool and if so which counters to use. I'm looking for the total MB/GB over the period not the MB per sec.

On one of our SQL Server 2008R2 instances the MSDB log file (MSDBLog.ldf) has grown to 300GB+. The data (.mdf) file is only 3GB.
Neither DBCC Shrinkfile(MSDBLog) nor an interactive "Tasks / Shrink / ..."
I've already deleted much of the historyThe MSDB database is in "Simple" recovery modeI've done a full backup (in case the log was "waiting" for a backup)
I hesitate to do things (such as as Detach / Attach) with MSDB that I might do with a user database.

In tweaking performance of tempdb by adding add'l data files I want to reset back to defaults and remove all add'l files I've created. I was not able to do it for most as they were in use, but by starting the server in single-user mode with all other sql services shut off, and using sqlcmd I was able to use the ALTER DATABASE tempdb REMOVE FILE <tempdev#> to remove the files... except for one.
I have also tried using the command:
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = tempdev#, FILENAME = '<new location');
Restarted SQL server, and tried the ALTER DATABASE ... REMOVE FILE again but am always denied with the message that the file can't be removed b/c it's still in use.
I also tried to shrink it with EMPTYFILE but that also fails with the message that a page is a work table page and can't be removed.
I really need to get tempdb back to just one data file but am unable to find a way to remove this last data file.

Hi, I have looked and loked for the answer to this question and made no progress. I want to install MSDE on one of our servers, however, when I went to install it, I found that there was another MSDE already installed and running (it was an agent running with our backup software Veritas). Is it alright to create another database and have 2 running simultaneous on the same data engine? Is there any type of limitations that I sould know about - such as number of allowed accesses at one time? Any help is greatly appreicated.

I've some huge table (over 100GB each), these table contain column of NTEXT, IMAGE. Application team needs to change these data types to VARBINARY(MAX), I've tested the modification in our lab and I noticed that the operation has been almost immediate so, I think that DB Engnine has not converted the existing data in the column but it has simply changed the definition of the column.
Or maybe NTEXT and IMAGE can be transparently converted into VARBINARY(MAX)?
Anyway, I want to be sure that the modified table is "coherent" I don't want that at a given point SQL Server tells me that some data is not readable.

I need to script out data in several tables (30+) and then reload those tables on a different database. The "target" database table data will get overwritten each time, not appended to. Several of these tables have numerous foreign keys and other constraints that must be dealt with. None of them have more than 100 records or so. Then I need to keep this script in source control and reference it as part of a post-deployment step with a Visual Studio DB project.
I have redgate, dbghost and visual studio. Are there any tools will generate the script for me complete with dropping all the constraints, truncating the tables, then re-adding the constraints back? Or, am I looking at simply scripting the table data out, then modifying the script myself to add in the steps to drop/readd the constraints? Further, since some of these tables might have relationships, not just to other tables, but to those in question, there will likely be an order in which the tables need to get loaded.
The approach I am thinking will be needed, since ive done this sort of thing before except with SSIS, is to run something like dbghost or the "generate scripts" option in SSMS as a starting point. From there, change the order around as needed, etc.

I added a secondary data file to TEMPdb yesterday and gave it a wrong location by mistake. If I try to change the location, then I am getting an error now. I think that is because TEMPdb is in use and that is why I cant change it's secondary file's location. Do I need to take TempDB offline and then change the secondary file's location??

We have a 5 TB database in our environment. Both MDF & LDF are location in 1 single drive which is of 10 TB.
Now, we want to move to new server but we have multiple drives each of max 1 TB per drive. How can I go about splitting the data from 1 MDF files into multiple data files? How about moving indexes ?

I have a source sql 2005 with the database collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS and destination with sql 2012 with the same collation.
But the SQL server llvel collation is different, sql 2005 uses Latin1_General_CI_AI and sql 2012 uses "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS"
Now when i load the data from 2005 for one table to sql 2012 i could see special characters in one column. And i dont see that in the source database. Is there a way to avoid that or is it something we need to manually fix.

Hi guys,
The default Engine Thread property of a data flow task is set to 5, is this the best setting? what if I would like to run complex data flow tasks on multi-processor machines, should I increase the engine thread? If so, then what is the recommended Engine Thread number for running complex data flow tasks in a multi processor system?
Even if i am running simple data flow tasks on a multi processor machine, should I change the engine thread?
Thanks!

I have a sharepoint content database in sql 2008 R2 (WSS_Content) that is at 230Gb size, but has 40% of it is empty space. This is because we have removed a large amount of old content from sharepoint. The log file is fine. I have 60GB left in my drive that host the database files. I would like to shrink the datafile to get disk space back. I found that under the files property, the WSS_Content data file's initial size is 228702 MB (220 Gb or so).
When i try to do a shrink file (data file) from management studio, i see the 60 GB of drive space keep dropping. So i have to kill the process. what i should do to reduce this data file.
why it keep using up all the free space in the drive when i try to shrink the data file?

I have scenario where I have process that loades data into SQL server 2012 database by doing some manipulation on data like sorting , aggregation, etc. Once this process is completed it's not free up the Tempdb space. If I restart the database, then it does.
is there any way (apart from shirking) to release space for Tempdb, like writing some post SQL queries to delete/ truncate the data and logs from temp db?

2 of the secondary data files had its autogrowth enabled to unrestricted with 200MB and 3 of the data files including primary had its Autogowth turned OFF. Application use is complaining that there is no internal freespace on the DB.
What fails to understand us is that when the Auto growth was already TURNED OFF on 3 data files ( 1 primary and 2 secondary ) still why was the application trying to increase the space on the .mdf and .ndf files; as well when the Autogrowth is TURNED ON on 2 of the secondary data files, why was the DB not able to expand these file groups when the autogrowth is already turned off on 3 of its other files.
What more data i need to ensure i submit an analysis to this.

In SQL Server 2014, how big for the block size is better for performance? 64 KB? 4 KB?
For normal database files, best practise is 64 KB disk block size. Not sure if it is same for memory-optimized filegroup.
