Dear All,
i've a doubt regarding the difference between sp_who and sp_who2.
i've read in one article stating that sp_who is documented and sp_who2 is un documented.what is meant by this?
and please provide me the articles related to locks(what are different types of locks)
thank you very much

BULK INSERT
CONDITIONAl
Thanks.

sp_who2 shows the block by user and some information.Currently we are moving from sql 2000 to sql 2005. if i execute the sp_who2 in sql 2005 it shows only my login block information. it does not show other users. is there any admin rights has to give to view other block user ??? how to do that.

How can I save the sp_who result to check it later.
Thank you,

DiskIO: Any idea what exactly this tells on sp_who2 output? Does that men anything if its high/low?
Thanks.
Ravi.
Is there any way to calculate (just an approximation is fine) theamount of work that is done for an insert statement?For example, can I calculate the approximate row size of my table andthen compare that with the DiskIO for my SPID to determineapproximately how many rows have already been written? Or, does theDiskIO include shuffling data around or other DiskIO that makes thiskind of comparison impossible?Thanks,-Tom.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThanks, folks, for taking time to help!In query analyzer and profiler, there seem to be system processes thatare generating high cpu time and disk io. Well, I guess the short ofit is that I am having a problem interpreting what I am seeing so thatI can take the next step in corrective action. There are also severaldomain controlled logins that appear to be on the same host name, atthe same time--these are laptops, not terminal servers--why would thesystem be reporting such a thing?Here is a sample of the output from sp_who2:SPIDSTATUSLOGINHOSTNAMEBLKBYDBNAMECOMMANDCPU TIMEDISKIOLASTBATCHPROGRAMNAME1BACKGROUND sa . .

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe behavior seems to have changed on SP_WHO2 in SQL 2005.
In SQL 2000 I could be logged in as a regular user in my system and run SP_WHO2 and get all the users currently logged in. This is no longer working in SQL 2005. It now only returns "me".
What kind of rights do you need to have to see who is logged in?
Is there any way to write a line to a table showing who had a lock at a particular time?
We have a need to rollback transactions that persist for too long and cause application errors. what i want to do is to dump the details of the connection into a table for analysis later.
i am thinking along the lines of
SELECT loginname
FROM sp_who
WHERE spid in
(
SELECT spid
FROM sp_lock
)
or something!!!!
any ideas anyone?
Hi!
I need some examples of SP_Lock & SP_Who.
Best Regards,
Shabber Abbas Rizvi.
I have some users on Citrix, running an Access front end with ODBCattached tables.In sp_who. on a normal workstation they'd usually show once or maybemore but all with the same hostname so counting actual number of usersis easy, group on loginame,hostname.When someone connects from a Citrix server, I append the connectionnumber to the workstation name in the connect string so the hostnamelooks something like "CITRIXBOXICA-tcp#256" also for terminal servicesthe hostname will look like "GANDALFRDP-Tcp#8".The problem is that on Citrix the user appears twice with a differenttcp number, the hostname is made up of the name of the citrix/ts server+ the environment variable %SESSIONNAME%, which is surely static for asession?Has anyone seen this in Citrix? Does it ghost old connections? I loogedout and in again just now and saw the sessions look like:CITRIXBOXICA-tcp#199 & CITRIXBOXICA-tcp#254 for my user name thenafter re-logging on I got CITRIXBOXICA-tcp#199 & CITRIXBOXICA-tcp#256so that session 199 has stuck there but wasn't visible in sp_who whilenot logged into the Citrix box.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn the sql server analyzer, i ran sp_who2 store procedure to find out the procesess and locks on the sql server. I noticed on the status column some entries "RUNNABLE", does this could trigger blocked to other processess if not closed by our application? or What does runnable status mean?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
When I run sp_who2, the blkby col shows spid -2.
From doing some reading I understand this is caused by SQL waiting on MSDTC.
If I look at MSDTC running transactions I can see 2 transactions, the transaction are not mark as indoubt so I cannot commit, abort or forget them.
If I stop ALL the Processes that are using the DB, eg IIS and a 3rd party workflow engine, these transactions do not go away.
Anyone got a clue?
If I restart MSDTC, the blocks go away in SQL but this is not a solution to the problem.
All MSDTC gives me is the ID for the transaction, can I get more info on whats happening from this ID.
Thanks

Hi,
Beside sp_who which shows the number of connections to databases,
is there any other sp that shows us the starting time for each connection because the
sp_who does not show the starting of the connection.
Thanks.
Hi,
I'm using SQL SERVER 7.0. When I do sp_who from Query Analyser to see who has processes running, I get three statuses on the processes, 'runnable', 'background', 'sleeping'.
I can't find anywhere in books, BOL, anywhere that tells me a definition of what each of these statuses mean.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Darrin
Hello All,
I need to find out which user are connected to a What database. For this I can Use SP_WHo. But How can i fetch the required fields only dat too in Query Analyzer
Thank you in advance
Hello 2 all,Maybe my question can be very stupid, but I'm a little confused.When I run sp_who on my database, I see one process (accessing remotelymy database from another database on another SQL server) many manytimes.Well, I assume that this is one process, because I cannot imagin thatthe data aquiring can be done by almost 1000 (thousand) openedconnections.This is what I have. Almost 1000 spids running (sleeping) with cmd =awaiting command.The best part is, that when I run sp_lock, I see, that the currentsession of the client, (lets say spid 53) is locking tempdb, withobjects id below 10 (system).As far as i know, and as far as I'm using this in my software, there isno necessity to open-close-open-close connection.Normaly, you can just open a connection to db, with assigned spid, andoperate within this just one. After the disconect ist done, the sessionshoould be removed.I think, there is something wrong in the way, the remote system isconnecting to my database, but i'm not sure is it normal what I'mexpieriencing or not.below, a piece of that what sp_who returned:SPIDECIDstatusloginnamehostnameblkdbnamecmd2660sleeping remote_user_namehost_ERP 0PRIMARY_PROCESS_DBAWAITING COMMAND2670sleeping remote_user_namehost_ERP 0PRIMARY_PROCESS_DBAWAITING COMMAND2680sleeping remote_user_namehost_ERP 0PRIMARY_PROCESS_DBAWAITING COMMAND2690sleeping remote_user_namehost_ERP 0PRIMARY_PROCESS_DBAWAITING COMMAND2700sleeping remote_user_namehost_ERP 0PRIMARY_PROCESS_DBAWAITING COMMAND2710sleeping remote_user_namehost_ERP 0PRIMARY_PROCESS_DBAWAITING COMMANDand these are locks from sp_lock 53 which is the current runningprocess:53700DB SGRANT53260TAB IXGRANT53210TAB IXGRANT53230TAB IXGRANT53220TAB IXGRANT532120TAB IXGRANT53290TAB IXGRANT532110TAB IXGRANT53232KEY(1902141b21c7) XGRANT53213KEY(e60041ad2c6f) XGRANT53232KEY(5b0233670fb9) XGRANT53232KEY(6e0212a7298c) XGRANT53232KEY(97013ece81c8) XGRANT53231KEY(e7006f987fb0) XGRANT53213KEY(ad00a33f46b9) XGRANT53210643560700TAB Sch-MGRANTany idee?ThanksMateusz

I want to extract the same information as the Activity Monitor does with SQL in SQL Server 2000.
Have tried to use sp_who2 but I miss some important columns.
How do I do?
Thanks!
am experiencing excessive SSB thread block'n...sql error log is reporting LOTS of Resource Monitor messages about non-yielding threads (nothing meaningful can be surmised from it).
I am running on a 4way 64bit 2003 box w/6gb ram!!!
SSB architecture is simple implementation... Leveraging async trigger(s) in 42 db's (all on same instance) that post (via srvc) into a mstr db queue...where a listener is pull'n them off and applyies to a table (trying to avoid excessive 1205's that I was experiencing using sync trigger approach before)....messages sit in respective db's trans queue and draining of queues is extremely SLOW!!!! I mean SLOW!!!
Eventually SqlServer.exe process pegs out ALL processors!!! Only can reboot box to get connectivity back...~
Anyone have this experience!? (really hope not...but I need help)
Have completely cycled SSB machinery (via disable/enable)...and have even stepped thru enabling one db at a time...but still very poor performance!!!
Anyone?

Hi
How to convert a sp_who in into a table/query
Please help
Raj.
I've got a new server with Pentium4 xeon processors. I've used sp_who2for quite a while on my old server -- to look at CPU and IO usage. Onthe new server, the CPU times are huge -- although actual performanceis quite good. I know sp_who2 is an undocumented proc. Has anyoneexperienced this or is it just me?

we have one 'application'-user in sysusers that makes the connect to SqlServer for all users, for example:
Application Login-User: Thomas
DB-Connect-User: AppUser
With this solution, in Activity-Monitor or with sp_who I don't know, what is the real name of the connected user.
Any possibility to change the login-information after the connect, so that i can see 'Thomas' in Activity-Monitor or with sp_who?
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
I am transfereing Data into text format.
The datas are about 5 table and has almost 50000 to 2 million rows.
I am using the same query for BCP and DTS. But I find the dreference between those. I mean DTS is taking less memory and more time than BCP to complete the process .
Anybody can share any comment for this issue ?.
Can somebody tell or may refer to a site that show the differences between SQL Server 2000 SP2 and SP3a.

Is there really a difference of approach?
I have several things to consider in an estimating database. Production, Shipping, Field Work, Field Hardware, etc...
All of the above have account numbers. Now I was wondering, would there be any benifit to having one table or several tables?
One Table Example
Account (PK) | Category | Description
or
Multiple tables
tbProduction
Account (PK) | Description
tbShipping
Account (PK) | Description
tbProducts
Account (PK) | Description
etc.....
I like having the tables split up and/or all in one.
Any thoughts, pros / cons?
