We are using SQL Server 7.0. Can anyone tell me the difference between setting max connections to 150 versus setting it to 0 for unlimited. We have an application that was running slow with the 150 connections set. We changed it to 0 for unlimited and now the application flies.
Can anyone explain this? Does SQL Server do something different with these settings?
Thanks!
Develpers complain that Sql server is slow
We running 4 databases about 400 MB each.(hotel reservations ...)
Buffer cache ( 99.8) but sometimes it goes down to (62.0)
memory configuration Dynamic
Do we really need more memory for 50 users or what should I check in the first place ?
Thanks
I'm locked out of my SQL server because user connections are set at '5' and apparently there are already '5' users connected.
So.. I can't login as SA or anyone to change the option. We've rebooted, disconnected from the network, and still '5' users seem to be connected.
What could be causing this.. Or how can I override the connections without logging in.
I'm running SQl Server 7.0 SP1.
Currently the number of simulteneous user connections is set to 0 (0=unlimited).
But one of remote users when trying to connect to the server is getting sql error message that "There are more then 10 users connected".
Should I change "user connections" server configuration?
Thank you

Hi guys,
Help me please to clarify following situation.
My application has 20.000 users.
How many simultaneously user connections should I'll set?
Thanks,

I am trying to shrink my tempdb using the following sql 6.5 commands:
sp_dboption 'tempdb', 'single user', true
dbcc shrinkdb(tempdb)
I get the following message: "Attempt to set 'tempdb' database to single user mode failed because the usage count is 3. Make sure that no other users are currently using this database and rerun CHECKPOINT."
When I do a 'sp_who active' it returns about 5 spids but they are things like Mirror Handler, Lazy Writer, Checkpoint Sleep, RA Manager, and Select. I am not able to 'kill' the spids. I get 'Only users processes are able to be killed.' How do I identifiy the 3 users that sql is saying are connected to the tempdb database? And how do I remove the 3 users?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all!
In SQL 6.5, if I increase my user connections, should I also increase the amount of RAM allocated to SQL?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I need to know the number of client licences that i require for a SQL Server. I want to monitor the
Server for a period of a week or so to find out the max..no of user connections during that time
so that i can fix the no. of user connections parameter.
i have tried using the foll Perf monitor counters :
No of open user connections
Client Count
Max Client Count
Client Limit
and am still confused about the numbers.
Can anyone throw some light on the difference in these counters and which one do i go by for
calculating my licenses .
Thanks
I am in the process of installing 7 remote desktop computers that are furnishing data to a SQL server. We will also have 40-50 Managers/Supervisors who will have access to the database for information retrieval. Are there any tools available that would allow me to monitor who is connected to the Server? My main interest in monitoring are the 7 desktops which are permanently connected to the database. Until we have some history, I would like to make certain that we can maintain a good connection between the desktops and the server

We have a production server that is configured to 100 user connections.
Without any reason, the maximum connections had been exceeded and users
can no longer access the sql. But if you sp_who , it displayed only
4 user connections. Since, I have an open connection before this error
happens, i was able to execute sp_who. This happened 4 times since we
installed the sql server. the version is 6.50.422 sp5a with hotfix.
To all gurus out there, can you give light into this problem?
Thanks in advance.
To increase user connections in SQL 6.5 do I have to first increase the memory configuration numbers?
Current memory config is at 8192.
Recently, my SQL Server has started getting:
"Unable to connect. The maxinum of '100' configured user connections are already connected. System Administrator can configure to a higher value with sp_configure."
The server has to be rebooted to recover.
What's odd is that this occurs during the weekend when only about 5-8 connections are used by various system processes. I can't tell yet what is sucking up the connections.
We use SQL 6.5 sp4 on NT4.0 sp3 for DEC Alpha. We are also using SQL Mail, Seagate Backup (with SQL drivers) and some cgis that talk to the database.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I did something stupid. I was having a problem with my application of trusted connections exceeding 15. I changed the user connections to 30 without uping the server memory configuration. Now I am out of memory and can't establish a connection with the server to up the memory configuration. I don't want to have to reinstall sql 6.5 and loose my existing data. I am on a Netfinity server with 512 megs of memory. Any suggestions? And of course our NT tape backup unit is not set up for sql backup.
Also does 30 connections and 128 megs of sql memory sound ok for a non dedicated server. About 25 users connecting to the database at any given time?
We are having a problem with the maximum number of user connections to sql. Currently we have a max of 500 connections and we are unable to connect to sql because the max number has been exceeded. The sql logs are flooded with repeated error messages about the user conncetions being maxed out.
Anyone has an idea why this could be happening? Also, can it be fixed by rebooting the server?
Thanks
Newbie here.I've got my database set up in SQL 2000, and have started an Access adpfor a front end. I have 10 licenses, and at the moment the onlyaccesses are the server through Remote Desktop and one person into theADP. I started getting ODBC timeout errors when running a complexquery, so I started poking around. In the logs there's messages sayingthe maximum of 10 user connections has been reached, over and overagain. I'm not even certain that these problems are related, but itdoesn't look good.Why are all 10 connections used when there's only the server and oneclient? No one else has access to this server. And how can I stop theODBC timeout? That paticular complex query is the whole jsutificationfor using SQL over Access, so I kind of need it to work. :)Thanks in advance, maddman

Hello ,
I get this message in the error log file (ODS17809) for sqlserver 6.5 on windows NT 4.0
Although this parameter is set to 50 which is more than enought for our environment. When I look up in current activity, I see only 4 users connected.
IS there a way to find , why this message comes up and how many actula connections (alive or hanging) are with the Sql server.
Well, I can increase the number of connections, but that is not the solution , as I would like to track/debug where all the connections are being used up.
thanks in advance for your help/suggestions

Hi,
Environment:
I have a Sqlserver 6.5 production server used for web based applications
Compaq 5500 4 GIG RAM, 4 processor
Sql Memory config on that server is 1048576 (which is 2048 MB)
and the run value is 640000 (which is 1250 MB).
runvalue for user connections was 500
We have only 90 user connections may increase upto 100 depends on the connections. We don't have any overload on that server.
Error: I was seeing
"unable to connect maximum no. of 500 configured user connections are already connected" in the error log.
Action Taken:
I increased the user connections to 600
and rebooted the server. Immediately the same error I can see in the error log. But we have only 20 user connections at that time. I can able to connect.
Please advise me to get rid of this error.
Thanks,
Anu.
I have been reading through the article pointed to by the link below on msdn and its documented that one functional limitation of user instances is "Only local connections are allowed." I didn't understand the technical details(meaning) of that limitation and hopefully some one might explain it to me so that i can understand it better.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHello:
I am working with an application unde mssql 6.5 ,sp4. We have a separate
database for reporting on a different box. Each night we load a backup into
the database from the production database.
I set up a stored procedure to kill all users connected to this reporting
database just before the load.
THe job looks like this under scheduled tasks as a cmdexec:
isql -U sa -P -d master -Q"exec killusersall_sp 7" -o
F:MSSQLatchjobs
evdb.log
This job died with the following message:
Process Exit Code 1. ...[-b On error batch abort] [-O use Old ISQL
behavior disables the following]<EOF> batch processingAuto console width
scalingWide messagesdefault errorlevel is -1 vs 1 [-? show syntax summary
(this screen)]
The killusersall is paramaterize sp that I pass the dbid of the database
for whom I want all users killed. I need to put the stored procedure in the
master because I egt the spid from sysprocesses.
I do not understand why the job died. Does it matter if I named the stored
procedure as sp_killusersall instead of killusersall_sp which I used.
Can any one advise me about how to get the job to run? Any assistance will
be greatly appreciated. Thanks you.

Hi everyone!
Is it possible to control the number of simultaneous connections one login id can have?
I`d like to avoid my users to share their login ids and passwords to help them enter data into the system.
Thanks,
Mauricio
I can't find the answer...it just talk about the CPU / ram /database limit. thanks for you help!

Hi there,
Here we have got a
asp.net application that was developed when database was
sitting on SQL server 6.5. Now client has moved all of their databases
to SQL server 2000. When the database was on 6.5 the previous
development team has used oledb connections all over. As the databases
have been moved to SQL server 2000 now i am in process of changing the
database connection part. As part of the process i have a login
authorization code.
Private Function Authenticate(ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String, ByRef results As NorisSetupLib.AuthorizationResult) As Boolean
Dim conn As IDbConnection = GetConnection()
Try
Dim cmd As IDbCommand = conn.CreateCommand()
Dim sql As String = "EDSConfirmUpdate" '"EDSConfirmUpdate""PswdConfirmation"
'Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("sql", conn)
cmd.CommandText = sql
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
NorisHelpers.DBHelpers.AddParam(cmd, "@logon", username)
NorisHelpers.DBHelpers.AddParam(cmd, "@password", password)
conn.Open()
'Get string for return values
Dim ReturnValue As String = cmd.ExecuteScalar.ToString
'Split string into array
Dim Values() As String = ReturnValue.Split(";~".ToCharArray)
'If the return code is CONTINUE, all is well. Otherwise, collect the
'reason why the result failed and let the user know
If Values(0) = "CONTINUE" Then
Return True
Else
results.Result = Values(0)
'Make sure there is a message being returned
If Values.Length > 1 Then
results.Message = Values(2)
End If
Return False
End If
Catch ex As Exception
Throw ex
Finally
If (Not conn Is Nothing AndAlso conn.State = ConnectionState.Open) Then
conn.Close()
End If
End Try
End Function

This is my first time to deploy an asp.net2 web site. Everything is working fine on my local computer but when i published the web site on a remote computer i get the error "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed" (only in pages that try to access the database)
Help pleaseee
Just a quick question about connection management. My application willnever need more than 1 or 2 connections about at any given time. Also, I donot expect many users to be connected at any given time. For efficiency, Iwould like to keep connections alive throughout the lifetime of the objectsrequiring them, rather than opening a new connection, executing code andthen closing it again. What is the most efficient way of doing this?Should I perform the open/close or just one open when I create the objectand a close when I dispose of it?

i'm using the Enterpirse library logger to write logs into a database.
When choosing connection string i choose the database i want in the "connection properties" dialog box and
push 'Test connection' button.
everything goes well.
then i open the SQL Server Management studio express and connect to the databse to check some things,
from that point on , when i push the 'Test Connection' button in the Enterprise library i get the error:
"cannot open user default database. Login failed. login failed for user My'server/MyuserName'"
even when i close the sql server manager , it is still stuck - the connection test doesn't work anymore....
it only work when i restart the computer.
why ?
