View 2 RepliesIf I run the same FOR XML query in a Development edition enviornment and a Enterprise Edition environment, the results are different. The query is exactly the same.
Here is the query:
DECLARE @MessageBody XML

DECLARE @OperationType CHAR(1)
SET @RecordCount = @@ROWCOUNT

Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is the weirdest this I have ever seen in a long time. I have MS SQL Server running on a server and use Enterprise Manager a lot. Well, the damndest thing happens when I log onto the server from the console and run Enterprise Manager. If I go into Enterprise Manager, and go to a database and then select a table and right-click, and run the "Open Table" option; the entire Enterprise Manager application mysterously closes.
This only happens from the server console and through Remotely Anywhere...it does not happen when I log onto the server from Remote Desktop.
Has anyone ever seen this before? Does anyone know a fix for this?
Performance issue.
I have a very complex Stored Procedure called by a Job that is Scheduled to run every night.
It's execution takes sometimes 1 or 2 hours and sometimes 7 hours or more.
So, if it is running for more than 4 hours I stop the Job and I run the procedure from a Query Window and it never takes more than 2 hours.
Can anyone help me identify the problem ? I want to run from the Job and not to worry about it.
Some more information:
- It is SQL 2000 Enterprise with SP4 in a Cluster (It happens the same way in any node).
- The SQL Server and SQL Agent services run using a Domain Account that have full Administrative access.
- When I connect to a Query Window I also use a Windows Account.
- There is no locks or process bloking or being blocked while the job is running.
- Using the Task Manager the processor activity is ok, no more than 30 % in any processor.
I have a stored proceedure (which I will tag on at the end for those interested) which is taking at least 15 minutes to run when executed, but completes in 1 minute when the tsql statement is run in Query Analyser. Why is this?
I suspect that it may be connected to table indexing, but why then is this bypassed when QA is used?
Any advice appreciated.

Hi,
I created a PDA application with a database, which has a table with a uniqueidentifier field and primarykey.
While doing the bulk insert from dataset into sql mobile database, It is inserting the record but it is not inserting the id which was entered into the sql server 2005 database, instead the id by creating a new id and the code is as below.
conAdap = new SqlCeDataAdapter(strQuery, conSqlceConnection);
SqlCeCommandBuilder cmdBuilder = new SqlCeCommandBuilder(conAdap);
conAdap.Fill(dsData);
int r =conAdap.Update(dsData);
Please help me.
Thank you,

I'm hoping someone can help me out - at least by pointing me to who I can ask, if not answering the question directly.
I have some encrypted values in a SQL Server 2000 database that I unencrypt and use in a website that I just converted from .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.
The data is pulled from the database using standard ADO with no changes between the .NET 1.1 version and the .NET 2 version - yet for some data entries, when the identical value is pulled by the .NET 2 code it is changed or shorted.
For example:
1.1 code traces out a value pulled from the db as:
ᒪ࢖淨�d�把���媑쬹�䜻ꖉ���
The same value pulled from the database by .NET 2 looks like this:
ᒪ࢖淨�d�把媑쬹�䜻ꖉ
Do you know why the database value would be interpreted diferently by .NET 2 than by .NET 1.1? How can I bring this in sync so that both 1.1 sites and 2 sites can use the same data?

Our Transactions/sec counter jumped quite a bit when we moved to SQL Server 2005. The move coincided with increased load so we didn't think anything of it until recently. Upon further review, the counter just seems too high.
There was an article in SQL Server magazine a few years ago by Brian Moran where he states, "Transactions/sec doesn't measure activity unless it's inside a transaction. Batch Requests/sec measures all batches you send to the server even if they don't participate in a transaction." He goes on to say that Transactions/sec will be skewed lower because it is a subset of Batch Requests/sec. (http://www.sqlmag.com/Article/ArticleID/26380/sql_server_26380.html)
The article was written for SQL Server 2000. We conducted tests in 2000 and found what he said to be right on the money. SELECT statements increased Batch Requests/sec, but not Transactions/sec. UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE statements increased both in lockstep. Makes perfect sense so far.
We conducted the same tests in 2005 and found a radically different story. While SELECT statements behaved the same, UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE statements showed Transactions/sec skyrocket 2-10x more than Batch Requests/sec for the duration of the statement. In other words, a single transaction submitted by our application fires off exponentially more transactions than the one we submitted. I was unable to pinpoint exactly what these "hidden" transactions were actually doing. Is this something that occurred in 2000 but simply wasn't reported? Or is it new behavior in 2005?
While trying to answer these questions we noticed a second strange behavior in 2005. When no queries are being executed the Transactions/sec counter still jumps every six seconds like clockwork. And these phantom transactions number in the thousands. We tried to use profiler to capture what SQL was being executed, but nothing shows up in any SQL Statement or Batch event. However, when we turned on the SQLTransaction event we found it, sort of. An object called GhostCleanupTask runs every six seconds causing thousands of transactions. We don't know exactly what it is doing, but we noticed that it ran consistently on some databases, but never on other databases. Both sets of databases are identical and in use.
So, all of this investigation leads me with three final questions.
1. What is behind all the extra transactions caught by perfmon when I submit a single transaction?
2. What is GhostCleanupTask and why does it take so many transactions? (And why does it only run on certain databases?)
3. If a potential customer asks for our Transactions/sec count, is it accurate to give them the big number, knowing that our application is only actually submitting a fraction of that? On the other hand, the system apparently is actually doing that many transactions. (For instance, on our production server during peak, Batch Requests/sec is about 4,000, while Transactions/sec hits 26,000.
Any insight would be much appreciated.

I've been trying to find an answer to the mystery of how date conversions differ between SQL server and Excel. In Excel the number 37711 is displayed as the date '3/31/2003'. The same number in SQL server yields '2003-04-02' (I used the following: select cast(37711 as datetime) ).
Any idea what is going on here and how I might resolve this problem?
Has anyone else run into this issue?
Dependingon the printer, the report prints differently. Sometimes it's all messed up on certain printers on others it prints fine. I see the problem mostly with older HP printers..
Any ideas?

I have SQL stored proc that calls a CLR function. This function does a "select ... for xml" statement, manipulates the XML a little, and returns the manipulated XML to the stored proc.
This all works fine when I call the stored proc from a query window, but when I have BizTalk call the stored proc, the CLR function fails. I have a feeling this may have to do with BizTalk using MSDTC , but I am not sure.
Here's a code snippet from where CLR function fails:
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Context Connection=true");
conn.Open();SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select * From Items FOR XML AUTO",conn);XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();xdoc.Load(cmd.ExecuteXmlReader());
Under BizTalk, the last line fails with: System.InvalidOperationException "Invalid command sent to ExecuteXmlReader. The command must return an Xml result."
Now to see why XmlReader doesn't like the returned data, i changed the last 2 lines of that snippet to this:
SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
dr.Read();Object obj = dr[0];
If i have a breakpoint after that last line, obj is of type string when i call the proc myself, but it is a byte[] under Biztalk. If i look at the bytes themselves, its close to the expected xml...but with some nontext bytes sprinkled around. I can't seem to cast or encode the byte array into anything useful.
Anyone have any idea what is going on here? Why would the same code return different types based on a) who is calling it, or b) the type of transaction used?
Thanks,
Ron
I'm looking for the minimum date of an entry into a history table. The table contains multiple entries for the customer and the item with an activation and deactivation date for each entry.
I could use the following:
select customerId, item, min(activationDate) from history group by customerId, item
or a sub query
select customerId, item, activationDate
from history h1
where activationDate=(select min(activationDate) from history h2 where h2.customerId=h1.customerId and h2.item=h1.item)
How are these two queries parsed differently by SQL.
They return a different number of results.
Thanks,
karen
This is a good one:
Same RDL, 2 different servers. I run the report on my computer and export to PDF, it prints properly. When the customer runs the report on their server (SSRS 2K5 SP1, same as mine), they get it displayed differently. The columns on the report extend to the next page and the lines are thicker.
Is this a formatting issue on the customer's PC? It uses standard fonts (Tahoma, Sans-serif).
Any ideas?

I've also tried it with a space in between the - switch and also with quotes around the switch arguments. I've put the entire path in just the StartInfo.FileName instead of switching the working directory as well. I can't for the life of me get it to actually fire off this command for some reason.
p.s. I've also tried using "/"s instead of "-"s as well.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHiya,
I have a database on a SQL Server 2000 (sp3a) installation. For some reason it's reporting time that is 7 hours ahead of the system time.
The application is on one server the DB is on a shared production server. The app server and the DB server are reporting the same system time and are using a network time server. All the other db's on the shared production db server are reporting time correctly.
My questions:
Is there a T-SQL query to use to see what the time/timezone is for that database?
Is there a T-SQL query I can use to set the db time (not the system time)?
Anyone have any other suggestions as to what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Let me set the scene:
I have an update trigger on a table. When a specific column is updated, I get the rowid from 'inserted' and then pass it via service broker to another database that will fire off a maintenance routine at a later time. This whole process seems to work fine if I update a single row at a time through Query Analyzer.
During testing (of the service broker part) I found that if in Query Analyzer I run an update that updates all of the records at once, then the trigger seems to fire only once for the entire process, therefore killing the rest of my process.
I would have thought that regardless of how a record was being updated the trigger would fire atomically for each row.
Any guidance on this would be MOST appreciated!
I am trying to import some data from csv files. When I try it using bulk insert I get a conversion error. When I use the exact same format file and data file with an openrowset it works fine. I would prefer to use the BULK insert as I can make some generic stored procedures to handle all my imports and not have to code the column names in the SQL. Any suggestions?
BULK Insert stuff
From 'c:projects estdatalist.txt'
with
(FORMATFILE='c:projects estdatamyformat.xml')
insert into stuff (ExternalId, Description, ScheduledDate, SentDate, Name)
select *
from OPENROWSET (BULK 'c:projects estdatalist.txt',
FORMATFILE='c:projects estdatamyformat.xml')
as t1
The destination table has more columns than the data file. The Field IDs represent the ordinal position of the columns in the destination table. Column 1 in the destination table is an int identity. The conversion failure is from trying to convert column 5 to int which makes me think bulk insert is ignoring the name attributes in the XML and just trying to insert the columns into the table in order without skipping.

One thing is nor working correctly that is I am converting a string data type column to float data type in data conversion. In our local environments the package is working fine but in production environments it is not working correclty. It is unable to convert the data it is throwing an error.
"The data value cannot be converted for reasons other than sign mismatch or data overflow"
Can anybody help me please?

I have created a Web application that uses a SQL Express file Database (mdf). I have also created a console application that looks to the (mdf) in the Web Directory to process some server-side tasks, (Email, process data, etc). Everything works well on my Development Machine, however when I Publish my Web App and Console application to a server, the Web App works fine, the Console App is buggy. The main error I get is ;that the user logged into the server cannot access the Database. (User domcholman cannot access). However this is not always the case, sometimes it works.
Question is, how does SQL Express authenticate credentials when in Windows Auth mode? Shouldn't it allow the Service account to access the database? Are there any best practices? Should I use an account and password instead? thanks...
Logged on local Administrator on one of my sqlserver 2000 "ABC" and registered 5 sql groups and linked 50 sql2k servers from MSDE to Standare (all sp3).
Now, I need a different login on this machine "ABC", how could I get back all the SQL Enterprise Manager Console Root Setting and connections like before?
thanks

Can the Server Management Studio Express be installed on a machine without SQL Server Express?
I have a machine that I use daily that I need to access a remote instance but there is not a need (or space) to fully install SQL Server onto the local machine - all I need is the management tool.
I tried installing it but the process errors out, saying a pre-requisite (MSXML6) isn't found. It refers me to a site with all the different SQL Server downloads.
All I need is the management tool on this machine. Is there a way to do it?
Tried loading "MOM" but it doesn't show up either
Thanks

Thank you
Hello,
I am converting old MS Access queries to T-SQL and ran into a problem. The results of the same update queries returned different results. The idea is to subtract each of the amounts of Table2 from Table1:
Source sample tables and content:
Table1
ID Amount
1 100
Table2
ID Amount
1 10
1 20
1 30
In Access (Orginal source):
UPDATE Table1
INNER JOIN Table2
ON Table1.ID = Table2.ID
SET Table1.Amount = Table1.Amount - Table2.Amount
In T-SQL (Converted):
UPDATE Table1
SET Table1.Amount = Table1.Amount - Table2.Amount
FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2
ON Table1.ID = Table2.ID
Syntax for T-SQL is different from Access. When both queries are ran on their respective database, Table1.Amount in access became 40 (100 - 10 - 20 - 30), but Table1.Amount in SQL became 90 (100 - 10).
It looks as if in T-SQL it only ran one row? Or it could be that in T-SQL, updates written to the database in batches, hence why Table1.Amount was not updated for all update instances? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello everybody,
MySQL has a WebServer console, that lets to create tables via easy to handle SQL queries. Since I am used to SQL Server console, I would like to have such window in Micosoft SQL Server Express coming with Visual Studio 2008. Despite I searched for it, I did not find a database console window.
Does MS SQL Server Express offer a Server Console that lets the database to be accessed via SQL queries, please?
So i installed sql express and the management console and have the sql service and browser running. I try to connect to my instance of sql express with the management console and it says it doenst allow remote connections.
error: http://img95.imageshack.us/my.php?image=error28to.jpg
What do i need to do to be able to use the management console?
I was able to connect before but due to some bad advice think i stuffed up the whole thing and had to uninstall sql express and the management console. I re-installed them both but am now getting this error. what the heck is the deal with this? It shouldnt be this hard!
This is in relation to an earlier issue i had trying to get to connect to a database from within visual web developer express and now i can connect to my sql express instance but cant get into the managment studio. :(
Hi
My console applications work for SA and no other user. I can run the Stored procedures used in the console application from Query analyser when logged in with username/password that I am attempting to use for console applications. I am using SQL server authenication. User access permissions look ok in Enterprise Manager. Access is permit for my user.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
