I am STIGing a database and have to create a trigger that will stop any connection from occurring after a certain limit has been reached. For example I set the concurrent connection to 50 so I need a trigger that will stop any connection from all logins happening after 50.
The STIG info: Rule Title: SQL Server must limit the number of concurrent sessions for each system account to an organization-defined number of sessions.
STIG ID: SQL2-00-000100
The below triggers works, but for only the one login, so how can I have it include all logins for that SQL instance.
CREATE TRIGGER connection_limit_trigger ON ALL SERVER WITH EXECUTE AS 'login_test' FOR LOGON AS BEGIN IF ORIGINAL_LOGIN()= 'login_test' AND (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions WHERE is_user_process = 1 AND original_login_name = 'login_test') > 3 ROLLBACK; END;
Can anyone tell me what would happen if you install more RAM on a server than SQL 2000 can handle?
We have a SQL 2000 Standard edition server that is getting a RAM upgrade and we are wondering if we exceed the 2Gb limit whether the machine will crash or SQL will just get on and use 2Gb leaving the rest for the other processes / OS etc ?
I'm working with a table that has a very large number of rows is there a way to limit the rows that are returned from a query, for example I only want the first 100 rows of data.
In Oracle & Sybase you can set login resource limits to restrict, time of day, number of i-o's, cpu use etc for any login, at the login method. All actions done from a resource limit constrained login inherit the constraints.
Is there any way to implment this with any MS SQL Server version from 200-2005/SP2?
Before anyone answers, please do not suggest set rowcount etc. thanks.
Where can I find info on how much data SQL Server can handle? What is too big of a table in terms of records? When (in terms of table/db size)does processing from a web site using querys and joins begin to bog down?
I have a database with 10,000 records and I want to just see record1000 - 1025 is there an easy way to do this with a query. I have foundinfo for my SQL using limits but it does not work with SQL Server 2000.Please help.Thanks in advance.
I have designed a datawarehouse and I have tremendous doubt about SQL 7.0 capabilities. I expect to receive more than 20.000.000 into a single table and to be honest I do not know if I will get a reasonable query-response time. My Server is a Toshiba Lince with a 500 Mhz processor and 256 Mb of RAM memory. My hard disks are IBM ones. Can anybody say me something? Thank you in advance.
Im curious about how much data SQL Server 2000 can handle. Where does SQL Server stand today comparing to Oracle? It would be interesting to hear views and experiences from people here on swynk on SQL Server 2000. How big are the biggest tables, how many rows and speed etc. When is it time to consider using Oracle, if ever, instead of SQL Server 2000?
HiWe received the following in an email from a third-party supplier (whonaturally has a solution for the problem as described). It sounds likegibberish to me, but does anyone have any comments?<quote>SQL in its current incarnation hits a performance brick wall when atable contains more than about 75 million rows. This is not aconfiguration limit as the table could be grown a lot larger but theperformance issue generates problems for ??????; primarily duringsearch and retrieval of archived objects; although if the databaseengine is being heavily hit for retrieval the archiving process canslow down as well.</quote>Chloe CrowderBritish Library
I am migrating a data warehouse from SQL 2000 to 2005. So far, I have been able to convert all DTS's on the old server and most tables and users. I am having problems with some of my views, though. A view which involves over 5 tables, and some sub-views of those tables runs perfectly on SQL 2000, but on 2005 I get a Query Timed out Message. A typical run of this view can return from 200-1000 records. My guess is that it gets stuck somewhere in the subviews it has to run. So I wonder, what are the limitations of SQL 2005 concerning Queries and sub-queries (how many subqueries can a query have without timing out?). I mean, I would expect 2005 to have more processing capacity than SQL 2000 (on which this query runs perfectly). I have run some queries which don't run on 2000 but do run on 2005 and return over 4000 records.
Or is there some setting I haven't adjusted, like the time it takes for a query to time out? How would I adjust this, then?
1. Im insterting records in a recently created EDB databse for WM 5.0, but only 16 records can be witten, does any body knows where is the property to accept more than only 16 records???
2. is there ann RAPI for manage EDB. because my aplication use a lot the RAPI that comes for CEDB, but what about EDB??? does it exist?
Hi folks. I'm trying to clear up some licensing confusion I"ve come across. First, if I use MIRROR on SS SE I am limited to a single REDO thread and Sycn mode. I see that on the Web. Will the singel REDO thread hurt the ability for the Secondary to keep up? Any one done any tests?
My confusion comes from a document that came across my desk a long time ago that showed that if you use MIRROR on SQL Server SE you are limited to 4 processors for the entire cluster. So if you wanted a balanced failover you would have to have two 2-ways in essence. Is this true? Is it not longer true? I can't seem to find any mention of this....did someone give me bad advice? Help! Thanks.
I am looking at the failover options for SQL Server 2005 and the mirroring option as documented in Using Database Mirroring with Office SharePoint Server and Windows SharePoint Services seems to cover this however I have a concern about the recommended limit of 10 databases.
Has anyone had any experience with this, i.e. can it support more and also what sizing limits would be expected (I assume as it uses transactions this is not an issue).
If these are all used up, and a 26th connection comes in. What happens? is the connection rejected? or does it sit in a queue, waiting to be given a connection?
hi i hv developed an application that runs on the local windows system and interfaces with the MSSQL 7.0 database server using ODBC DSN Connections. This application will be deployed over the LAN with over 100 users.
The MSSQL 7.0 server has only 5 user licenses that limits the concurrent usage to 5 users.
I need a solution whereby all users can access the SQL server database without adding more licenses
I have been searching hi and low on the web to try and find out typically which version of sql server should be used based on the number of concurrent users you will be having.
I believe that Sql Server 2005 Express should only really be used for up to 10 concurrent users while I seem to remember that Standard edition supports up to approx. 33,000 connections.
Does anybody have this information to hand as I need to write a business case to justify the potential upgrade.
Hi,Is it possible to have many different clients conncecting to a web basedserver all using, simultaneously, the same DSN-less connection string heldin a server side include file?Many thanksRay Allison
Is there a limit to how much text you can concatenate (other than datatype limits, of course)? For example, if you write:SELECT 'This is some text from: ' + Convert(char(15), SomeFieldName01)+ 'some more text' + Convert(char(25), SomeFieldName02) + 'yet moretext.' As BigNoteFROM TableIs there a limit on how much you can concatenate into that big notefield, meaning is there a limit other than the size of the data type?
In SQL Server 2000, I've got a rather lengthy stored procedure, whichcreates a lot of temporary tables as it processes down through a fewsets of data.When testing it through Query Analyzer, it runs fine (a bit slowthough). But when I try to run it through the ade, it doesn't doanything. It runs through the procedure in milliseconds but doesn'tseem to ever actually start it. If I change the calling code in theade VBA to refer to a different SP, it will call/run the different SP,so I don't think its the way I call it.Is there a limit to the number of lines a stored procedure can have,or some other limit on memory or transactions?
I have a database hosted by GoDaddy. Recently they made some changes to the interface and upgraded to SQL Server 2008. One or the other has made it impossible to access my data in one table.
The table is quite large in terms of the numbers of elements. Each row describes a dog and all the elements are components of the description. There are (I would guess) more than 50 elements all together.
When I try to search the database, the query form goes beyond the top and bottom of the page. I can scroll the database but the search tool (which lies atop the data) does not scroll. The result is that I can't activate the search.
I've tried about 10 machines. All with IE6 display this fault. Machines with IE7 do not. I've tried various screen resolutions on the machines with IE6. That doesn't help.
I've checked other tables in the database. No problem.
In short, there's nothing I can do. I can't edit my data and GoDaddy says, "Tough."
Is there a limit on the number of columns (elements) in a table in SQL Server 2008?
In the preview view in Visual Studio, I can see all of the items in my document map (over 100 labels). After deployment, only the first 30 items are displayed and I can not scroll down to see the missing items. Is this a known bug? is there any workaround?
