I would like to create a job that wakes up every 5 minutes or so and stops any job that has been running for, say, more than an hour.
Alternatively, when it is a jobs scheduled time to run, if the job is already running, I would like it to stop the previous execution and start over.
Thanks
Hello,I am administering a DB which is about 2GB in size and sees few hundred,maybe up to a few thousand inserts a day plus very few deletions and updates(less than few hundred). DB has about 200,000 records in it total. For sometime now I have noticed that the transaction logs grow a lot -- like 1GB perday. I don't know why they are growing so much and would like to find outwhy - DB usage that I know of cannot cause such a high growth, to my bestknowledge.Is there a way to find out what is causing such growth? Can I examine theselogs somehow and see what is in them? I am worried that somehow someonemanaged to run mass updates on the DB without my knowledge.Thanks for help,Tom Kitta
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, I am unsure whether i can delete some system created tables from a database.
I was testing replication and then used the wizard to disable it all. I am however left with three tables that are replication based that have not been deleted. they are :
MSreplication_subscriptions
MSsubscriptions_agents
MSsubscriptions_properties
these tables are causing problems with some third party software due to the length of their names. I have tried to 'Exec sp_rename' but i get an error saying the objects are not valid for this operation.
Can i just delete them or will this cause problems if i want to start up replication in the future?
Quick question...
I was under the impression that RAISERROR stopped excution in my DTS SQL Task, but it really just passes right over it.
For example:
RAISERROR('test error',19,1) WITH LOG
CREATE TABLE delete_me (data int)
Even though I rasie the error, the table still gets created. Any ideas on how I stop the task from going to the next line?

View 14 Replies View RelatedAnyone got any "gotchas" or "nightmares" they want to share out of experience where the services have been shutdown without the proper forethought?
I'm trying to put a case in for a SQL DBA to be paged and to be in charge of shutting down the services and/or put together a checklist of things to verify first.
While I realize shutting down the services is supposed to be a graceful shutdown process I'm willing to bet there are a host of considerations.
Appreciate any Input.

Recently upgraded a 6.5 server to a 7.0 server. (same server)
When we try to stop the 6.5 service, the 7.0 service stops too.
Why is this happening? Aren't the 6.5 and 7.0 installations supposed to be independent of each other once the upgrade is done.
Further we would like to uninstall the 6.5 server from the machine as it is no longer being used. What considerations need be taken into account in our scenario.
Thanks
I've been running SQL Server for 5 years now and have not seen the following.
We have a scheduled night run task where we do various maintenance functions as well as print out the issued insurance policies for the day. All indications are that the run completed except that I did not get an email notification of success or failure.
When I went to enterprise manager, under jobs the night run seems to be stuck in the mode of "Performing completion actions". I cannot get it our of this mode back to "Not running". Trying to stop the task has no effect.
Any ideas/suggestions??
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

What is the command to stop a stored procedure from continuing to run? I have a procedure that has a problem, and due to a bug it runs wild in some scenarios, so I need to be able to stop it.
View 8 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have searched google and have found no real answer to this....
We are creating a database to support an application which is loading in data as part of the cutover from their current db to SQL Server.
The datafile is around 56GB and when the data processing occurs, as its not just inserts, the transaction logs fills out to around 65GB, and probably more, just that we ran out of space. So question is, is there a workaround for stopping the logging of this processing at all. I have seen that bulk-logged mode may be used, but the option with TABLOCK must be used, and there is no way to get hands on code which performs this processing.
Is there a way to turn off transaction loggin at any point?
Thanks,
Jim
I have a SQL Server agent that keeps stopping for no reason. It happens about every other day. I have to go in on the server and manually start it. What would cause this to happen? We have about 50+ computers that need to sync with the server and do so successfully without having to manually start the agent every other day. How do we fix it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy problem is primarily with SQL backup but the instant question is with mirroring in SQL 2005. I have a log file that is out of control and I need to do a backup with truncate_only, but this is command is evidently disallowed while mirroring is enabled. Is it possible to temporarily deactivate or remove mirroring in order to get the backup log under control? Is it possible to do that and then 'resume' mirroring?
A secondary issue is that I don't think mirroring is actually working at this point in time anyway. In the Mirroring section of the database properties the Status window says "No connection: cannot connect to the mirror server instance," so the question of stopping and restarting may be moot.
How does one reestablish mirroring if the connection is lost?
Lots of questions, I know... I'm reading up on it, but I'm obviously not the guy who set it up in the first place! Thanks in advance for any help...

Maybe I'm just totally not getting it, but can someone tell me how to stop/start the distribution agent? The Books Online document - "How to: Start and Stop a Replication Agent (SQL Server Management Studio)" - shows how to stop/start the Snapshot Agent, Log Reader Agent and Queue Reader Agent, but not the Distribution Agent. Is it that stopping one of these agents in turn stops the Distribution Agent. I am trying to work through how to add an article to a peer-to-peer topology and need to stop the agent as part of that.
Thanks,

I'm trying to debug stored procedure code with SSDT, but the debugger don't stop at the breakpoint.
I imported the schema of northwind database from Denali to a new database project and used Run to publish it to localdb.
So, I inserted a breakpoint in SalesByCategory stored procedure, opened a new query window, write an execute statement and started the execution with debug.
The debugger stop at the exec statement, but never get into the stored procedure. I'm using a breakpoint in the stored procedure, already tryed F5, F11, nothing works.
Application Debugging option in localdb is checked.
The operating system is windows server 2008 R2. I'm still using CTP 3.
Did I forget to check/do something ?
Hi am trying to create a snapshot (Merge replication) - My database is approx 6GB and one of my tables has 14.5M records - I have a total of 1500 articles to replicate.
When I start creating the snapshot - it seems to just stop on the Table that has the 14.5M records. When I delete all the data in that table it works fine. I have also check disk space and also the log files and tempdb size and all seem ok.
I am using SQL 2005 with the latest SP
Is there any form of verbose logging that I could enable to let me see what is going on
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I am using a drop down list box to select values from an SQL 2000 DB. I have put a record into the table which says"...Select Item"I used the dots so that It will apear at the top of the list and therefore display at startup. I also have a gridview to allow users to edit and delete from the same table.I am worried that a user may accidently delete the "...Select Item" row from the table.Can anyone think of a way round this? Is it possible with SQL Server 2000 to stop a single record from being deleted?Any help would be most appreciated.ThanksPaul
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat problems could be invoked by stopping SQL Server and copying a user databases data and log files and pasting these files over existing files on another machine.
Ex:
MyDB on Server1
MyDB on Server2
Stop SQL Server Server1 and Server2
Copy Server1.MyDB files
Over write Server2.MyDB files
Start SQL Server Server1 and Server2
Make sense. This scenerio seems to work but wonder what side affects could result.
Any comments would be helpful!!
If I stop MSSQLServer service on my SQL7 server using net stop and then restart it seconds later with net start, how will this affect my users ? Will they notice this ? Gets disconnected ?
The reson is to memory recycle my server.

how can I copy any mdf file to another folder without stopping sql server?
Hi all,
I'm trying to debug storedprocedures in query analyzer from workstation, login with server adminuser.Debugger is not stoping at break points.
any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated.
thanks.
I get the following error:
Error Number: -2147467259
Line Number: 0
Description:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Now this happens AFTER SQL has queried over 300 select statements. I can't figure why it just STOPS.
Is there a limit on how many statements SQL can process?
Any ideas?
We have implemented a simple form of failover which combines daily full backups, differentials every 10 minutes and log backups every minute. We developed this form of "poor man's replication" because we will be deploying 3,400 instances of SQL in our retail chain.
The event log is cluttered with "Database Backedup" messages from all of these backups. I altered the messages to "no log" but they continue to appear. Is there any way that I can disable these messages or are they hard wired?
hello everyone,
I wonder if you can help me with a problem I have trying to support a web based application that uses SQL 2005.
The problem is that the application developers tell me that it is neccessary to stop and restart the SQL service as part of the troubleshooting process when their application stops working. Unfortunately, the customer has our application database on a clustered SQL instance that is used by other applications so they cannot just stop and restart the SQL service because this will have a major impact on all the other instances...
Is there another way that would effectively do the same thing as stopping and restarting the SQL service? I have read that dettaching and re-attaching might do the same but application developers say onlt stopping/restarting services is sufficient to break the connection with the application.
Any advice would be really welcome as I am completely new to SQL and struggling with this!
Many thanks, Nick.
