I am running 6.5 sql and work with a traffic and billing software ( called NOvar) from another company(encoda system) which does a lot of scheduling, reporting etc
I dont know the contents of table (100 table ) and their column
or which table its querying to take out reports
Can i create a trace to know the syntax each time some thing is executed.
I also need to create customized reports, can this be done by sql reporting or does i need to go from crystal reports or someone else
For i dont know any language except sql and HTML
I have a view in SQLServer 2005. It took 30 sec. to finish. Then I deleted 4500 records from one table that is used in view. It took 90 sec. to finish now. I did a comparison on Actual Execution Plan between before I deleted data and after I deleted data, they are almost same, only different is Actual Number Rows become less after deleted data. So, I wonder why data become less but time become more. When I look closely on the Actual Execution Plan, the ridiculous thing is, there are only Estimated Operation Cost on each step, no Actual Operation Cost. I guess there are something wrong with optimizer because reuse same Execution Plan, but how can I tell which step wrong without Actual Operation Cost.
I would greatly appreciate any help with this problem, as I've been digging thru every resource I can find looking for a solution with no luck.
I'm going to be monitoring a database for all SQL statements containing INSERT, DELETE, or UPDATE. I'm grabbing the user name, time, and the entire text of the query. I can already do this programmatically, no problem. The problem lies in this. When I set up a trace on SQL Server 2000 using the system stored procedures sp_trace_create, sp_trace_setfilter, etc, and set the trace to save to a trace file, I find that I must first stop the trace then close the trace before I can use fn_trace_gettable to get the information that I want. However, this is undesirable, because this database may be accessed worldwide, and stopping the trace to read the data could cause the trace to miss some users making changes. Does anyone know how that I could get my trace data into a table so that I can just run queries on that table to get my data? It's very important that I not stop the trace to do this.

Hi, I need to trace deadlock, one of article was mentioning “QL Server Profiler's Create Trace Wizard to run the "Identify The Cause of a Deadlock" for SQL Server 7.0, is there any way I can do this in Sql Server 2000?
How would I go about tracing UDF performance in profiler? I'd like to specifically know the impact of the UDF without having to dig into the execution plan of the statement containing it. Is this possible?
I am fairly new to SQL Server. I am writing a tool in stored procedureto identify locks in a table. I have already written the basic frameworkof the SP. It will reside in master database and take two inputs. Databasename and table name. From that it will show all locks at that instanton that table of that database. If table name is omitted, then it will showlocks on all tables.I am using syslockinfo, spt_values tables and joining with SP_WHO procedureto get the table name, user name and the session id.Now what I need is to find out which SQL is causing the lock and since whenlock is being held on the table. Which tables in master database holds therequired information.TIA.Ravi
HiI want to trace all the selects/deletes/modifys whatever on a databasein an application that are performed in a seperate application.I need to look into this, any ideas?- Can triggers do this kind of thing- Can you somehow access the profiler via OLE or similiar to do this?- Anything else?TaF

I am using sp_executesql to get some data but it is not working. Is there a way to actually see the actual statement where subsituted variables are replaced with the actual values.
+ Case @MatchAmount When 1 Then N' and Amount = @BillingAmount ' Else N'' End
+ Case @MatchTicket When 1 Then N' and LTrim(TicketNumber) = STUFF(STUFF(@TicketNumber,Len(@TicketNumber)-@RemoveRight+1,@RemoveRight,''''),1,@RemoveLeft,'''') ' Else N'' End
+ Case @DaysDiff When 0 Then N'' Else N' and DATEDIFF(d,@BillingDate , InvoiceDate) <= @DaysDiff ' End
+ Case @MatchName When 1 Then N' and Left(Name,@CharsToMatch) = Left(@PassengerName, @CharsToMatch) ' Else N'' End ;
There is a bug in one of the service packs where Profiler (7.0) only traces one server (regardless of the server you tell it to trace). Can anyone tell me how to fix this or point me to a KB article? I thought this was fixed in SQL 7 SP 3, however I'm experiencing this problem with SP3 installed.
SQL 7 profiler has an event in the Misc. category of Failed Login. It does not, or at least I cannot get it to, produce any output when a failed login occurs. Any hints?
I tried this because every week or so I get this in the error log: Login failed for user 'Admin'. It occurs several hundred times within a minute or so. It obviously has to be an automated process as you couldn't click a button or press a key 13 times a second.
The login does not exist as a SQL login so I can't tell which database it is trying to get at. Any suggestions gratefully received.
Hi There, I hope someone can assist me in tracing the cause of a problem I am experiencing. I have a Web Server with ASP's querying the SQL Server 6.50.416 database. There is only one user db on this machine and yet I am running out of User Connections (current setting 2000) and memory (128MB RAM). Also, NT repeatedly experiences Stack Dumps. I have used the PRINTDMP utility to try and trace the cause of the error. The "Input Buffer" section of the Stack Dump (symptom dump) contains the following:
SELECT FK_SUB_PRODUCT_GROUPING, FK_SUB_PRODUCT_NAME FROM RESOLUTION_PRODUCT_SUB_PRODUCT WHERE FK_PRODUCT_CODE=1072 order by FK_SUB_PRODUCT_GROUPING
Is this SQL Statement the cause of the Stack Dump? Does anyone have any other ideas on what may be causing my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a very simple piece of code (see below) which when executed sometimes takes around 7 minutes and sometimes around 3.5 hours. the difference is that during the 3.5 hours there is a lot of querying of the table being updated. But I don't know how to find out if this is the case. How can I find out whether my process is waiting (for locks or for any other reason) - is there a trace or debug facility within the tandard Microsoft Toolset which I can use.
Regards Colin

As a newbie to DBA type tasks, how can I trace who has accessed the server/database. I know there is a SPID in the Server log but what does this represent?
I have a Stored Procedure that execute some queries on link server. It takes so long to complete so my application get timeout error. There was no problem until last week. I suspect, remote queries that qorks on link server takes long. How can i trace the time of queries. Any idea about link server timeout problems?
I have a client which makes about 50 connections to my SQL Server using a non-unique username. Under SQL 6.5 I could trace all SQL activity by PC name, is this possible using the SQL Profiler in SQL 7?
I have an issue where i have a field that changes data and i need to trace what it is that is changing it. I have setup a trace for the database but i would like to be able to narrow it down even further to the table and even the column if possible. Is there a way that i can trace data changes on such a granular level
Hi guys, We have 2 databases: DataBaseSource and DatabaseDestination. We need to truncate all the data in DatabaseDestination and put all the data from DataBaseSource into DatabaseDestination.
What is the best way to do that, we have a lot of data? And what is the best way if we also need to keep a trace of what happened in case we wanna go back and see what happened.
Also , pls, if we use DTS, is it possible that if someone wants to see what the DTS does, is it possible to read the DTS? I mean if I give a dts to sompeone, a new DBA guy in 2 years for example, how can he know what a certain DTS does? I mean does SQL 2005 put the DTS packaege scripts somewhere or is there a friendly way to know what a DTS dsoes exactly?
Also the trace to see if something went bad is important for us?
Sory if i didn t express myself well enough, and thanks a lot for your help.
Hi,what I am trying to discern is if there is any way of logging SPactivity on a SQL server 2k DB. Ideally I would want to log SP name,parameters, user and time.I found sp_monitor in MSDN but that just gives overall statistics.Not specific enough to aid debugging.Thanks in advance,Finlay Macrae
Guys,what I need is a tool which gives details on the choice of anexecution plan by the SQL Server. For example, the cost for a hashjoin might be 200 and 100 for a nested loop, and therefore a nestedloop is used. Same thing for the access paths for each table/viewinvolved. In Oracle, we turn on event 100053 to see this kind of info.ThanxDaniel
Has anyone worked out how to trace SOAP/HTTP Endpoints in SQL 2005 SP 2?
I'm not having a particular problem, just want to know how things work, such as which layer is responsible for the HTTP Authentication. I've traced the HTTP.sys stack using logman.exe (see http://www.thelastpickle.com/2008/03/22/tracing-sql-soap-endpoints-through-httpsys/) .
I cannot see any SQL Profiler events, and I've tried setting trace 7801 and 7803 as described in http://www.sqljunkies.com/Article/5CCAC423-1407-4A36-AF71-ED6A67D9646A.scuk#_Toc52964195 but they do not result in any logging.
Hello,I'm currently working on debugging a very large DTS package that wascreated by someone else for the purpose of importing data into mycompany's database. The data is mainly user/contact-related data forour customer base.We ran into problems when one import, of about 40,000 rows, tookupwards of six hours to complete. Many of the stored procedures usedby this package were written using XML. I've re-written many of themusing native SQL to see if that improves the performance, but I'mgetting some errors that I haven't been able to diagnose.Instead of asking about my specific errors, I'd like to know moregenerally what ways are there to debug DTS packages and storedprocedures? I'm aware of, and experienced with SQL Profiler but it'snot giving me the info I need. I need the ability to see exactly whatvalues are being passed to every call to a stored procedure fromwithin the DTS package or another stored procedure.I've used it very successfully to debug .asp, .aspx, .vb and the like,but right now I'm running it while running this huge stored procedurethat is called by the DTS package and does the lion's share of thework, including multiple updates and inserts into about 10 tables.The problem is, I see the calls to the "sub-procedures" from the mainone, but I can't see the values of any of the input or outputparameters. Instead ofInsert_Contact 'John', 'Q', 'Smith', '333-333-3333'......etc.I seeInsert_Contact @FirstName, @Initial, @LastName, @PhoneNumber......etc.My trace includes Stored Procedure events:RPC: CompletedRPC: StartingSP: StartingSP: StmtCompletedSP: StmtStartingand TSQL:Exec Prepared SQLPrepare SQLSQL: BatchCompletedSQL: StmtStartingI figured with these I would've covered the bases but I don't see anyof the parameters, which is critical for my debugging, as some of themare not being properly set.Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!TIA,Mike
I need to create some kind of log file or table that will record whenever an insert, update or delete is made to any table in a database. I have seen triggers that do this kind of thing on a table level. Can this be done with a trigger or a stored procedure on a database level? If so some kind of example or syntax would be great.
I'm getting a "Input string was not in a correct format." when I'm running a insert statement against my SQL Server 2005 db table. This helps me zilch as I cant see the actual SQL statement to see which one wasnt right. Using a SQLDatasource and a Formview btw. Datasource is called xSqlIB and formview is called fmvIB. Any ideas?
I have a XL source file, the first column contains the name, 199001,19902.....,199012, In SSIS package using XL source if click the 1st column contains headings it automatically covert my heading as name,F2,F3.....F13.
But i need as it is like Name,199001,19902,.....,199012 as a heading than i am using unpivot transformation and convert the column into row to my staging table.
Please sort out my problem i need the XL column like i mentioned above( Name,199001,19902,.....,199012 )
Normally to find the actual sql that executes i go up in the trace until i find the relevant cursor prepare. In this case the one for 197 cursor prepare.
But this time around i cannot find it, these are app servers connected so for all i know the cursor could be prepared at 5am in the morning and re-used all day long.
Is there anyway (adding certain profiler events or something), so that i can see the actual statement held in the cursor ?
Hi, How do I check what is the actual DB size that is currently being use? e.g. I set 10 GB as initial size. A few days and a few transactions later, how can I know how much was used since it is still under 10GB and checking the physical DB file will not tell me anything.
