Duration In Profiler Traces

Jul 20, 2007

Hi

I have a procedure in a history database that does insert into 3 tables inside a transaction. users complaint that the proc sometimes takes too long during heavy usage. I did some traces to see what is taking up the time, I found that the rpc duration was averaging > 500 ms (should only take 50ms). I checked to see if one of that statements were taking too much time, but only see the commit transaction statement taking around 500 ms). I check the avg disk queue to be around 30. ( this is on a single local disk) .

So is this definitely a disk issue, or is there something else I need to check

thanks

Using Profiler Traces To Troubleshoot

Aug 14, 2007

Hey guys,

I need some help knowing what to look for in Profiler to troubleshoot an issue.

I've got an application that accesses a SQL Server database that has suddenly started timing out when users launch and attempt to log in, and I'm trying to find out where and why the application might be timing out (whether it's a server issue, a stored procedure or SQL query from the application that could be optimized, a table that could be truncated or archived, etc.). All I have to work with from troubleshooting the database side are a series of trace files from Profiler that were run for a total of about 5 minutes while the application was launched and then timed out. Of course, there are a whole lot of statements being issued, hundreds of tables being accessed, lots of stored procedures and even more ad-hoc queries coming straight from application source code.

So my question is, what do I need to look for in these trace files that might be a red flag to an issue? I'm no DBA, but I know that really long durations might be a tip-off. I'm only seeing these on the occasional Event:Audit Logout (which I read in another thread could potentially be very normal). Anything else that I might want to filter for?

I appreciate any help!
Mandy

Value Of Profiler Traces In A Test Environment

Sep 26, 2005

I am debating whether to go to all the trouble of setting up on-demand Profiler traces on some test servers for the developers here. Really just tracing RPC:Completed and SQL:BatchCompleted, so the developers can at least try to catch a performance problem before going to production. The question I have, though, is just how useful is this sort of information to mid- to low-level (i.e. experience) developers. One of the bigger concerns is over Java applications, which like to hide their queries behind a lot of "sp_cursorfetch" calls.

My question to the forum is if you are a developer, have you ever dreamed of having this sort of information available? How useful is it?

I am going to try to post a poll along with this, but I am not sure it will work..

SQL Profiler Duration And CPU Baseline

Jan 9, 2007

Sarfaraz writes "I have captured SQL Profiler data. I was reviewing top running CPU intensive SQL statements. The Duration (in seconds) 1.39, 1.09, 0.16 and CPU (in seconds) 0.97, 0.95, 0.16 respectively for some SQL statements. How do I know what is the normal baseline for duration and CPU in order to determine the CPU intensive SQL statements.

Secondly same question for long running procedure duration 0.14, 0.11. What is the normal baseline here. Is this normal or too long.

Thanks,

Profiler Duration Column Value.

Jul 12, 2007

Hi Experts,

We have a VLDB ( few table with above 200 million records ). This database is used for performance testing by simulating for 150 users and executing all necessary functional flows.

When I examined the profiler results , I could see some very high values as shown below in the duration column for many events.

1521729
3462142
1624325
3211255
1248276
3903998

Does it mean that that SP or the T-Sql statement is taking this much time in milliseconds to execute and give the output ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

DBLearner

Profiler, Duration And Start/Stop Times

Aug 14, 2007

Profiler was run against a database looking for "long running" queries. I used the Duration column to filter out the queries that I didn't want. When reviewing the output, I noticed that for some queries the StartTime was equal to the EndTime even though the Duration was set higher.
My question is, "What can account for this discrepancy and what inferences should I draw about the difference?"
Does the difference represent a resouce being locked or some other type of blocking (Duration) and once the query was allowed to run, it completed quickly?
TIA

Transact SQL :: Get Total Request Duration From Multiple Task Duration?

Jun 4, 2015

I have the following SQL query

SELECT
[Req_ID]
,[Service_Name]
,[Req_Started_Date]
,[Task_Name]
,[Task_Status]
,[Performer_Full_Name]

[code]....

Which works fine, but what I need to calculate the total duration of a request based on the duration of the tasks completed in the request based on Req_ID. I would like to use the CASE statement I have to determine the SLA_Mins for each task and add them together to get total request SLA_Mins.

Below is the create table schema and data

GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[MidrangeOtherSourceControl] Script Date: 06/03/2015 18:13:15 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

Monitor I/o, Cpu Etc. Without Traces

Aug 21, 2006

Any suggestions on how I can monitor the following without using traces? I am a dba/developer working as a developer on a contract, and I'm supposed to be tuning. However, I can't run traces. I've got my own procs that monitor locking, etc. But I would like to get at least i/o and cpu throughout the day. It would also be nice to get the query executed. Basically, the type of stuff you'd normally use traces for.

I know about @@cpu, @@io etc., but these are basically useless (no?) since they only record since the server was started. There is a stored proc but it only monitors these things since the last time it was run.

Does anyone know how I could utilize the above? I tried to write a script but I couldn't get it to work. :(

I realize that in general this is a ridiculous request, but I thought I would ask anyway.

Can't Delete Old Traces Urgent!

Jan 31, 2002

This one has stumped me. Hopefully somebody can help.
A while ago, I setup a trace that posted the log to the desktop. I needed to stop the trace this morning, so I went into the profiler and deleted the traces. There was a private and shared trace. Now every time I start up something that has to do with sql server, the log pops up on the desktop. I'm not sure why the trace wasn't deleted or stopped. The trace includes what program accessed sql. Whether it is EM or Query analyzer or ISQL. It gets posted in the log. Any suggestions? I need to remove this because the log fills up the drive and causes the server to crash.

Thanks

Which Configuration File Can Disable Traces

Nov 29, 2011

When I restart the server that hosts the database engine SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition SP4, the trace gets up mytrace-5.trc with a size of 100 MB and id is 2, leaving the hard disk space, then the SQL Server stops execution of the trace due to lack of space. I do not know how to erase the trace, because I do not know where is it.

The archive log looks like : SQL Trace ID 2 was started by login "sa"

Trace ID '2' was stopped because of an error. Cause: 0x80070070(There is not enough space on the disk.). Restart the trace after correcting the problem.

I only know how delete a trace, knowing id.

EXEC sp_trace_setstatus 2, 0
EXEC sp_trace_setstatus 2, 2

Which configuration file I can disable all SQL Server traces. If I run select * from sys.traces, I just get the default trace:

id = 1
status = 1
path= D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLLOGlog_32736.trc
max_size = 20
stop_time = NULL
max_files = 5
is_rowset = 0

Calculating Duration

Jan 18, 2007

I am trying to get a query that will allow me to report the time taken to complete a certain training module.

The database itself does not have a duration field so I am tring to get the duration by using MIN and MAX. I can get the timing for when the module was opened and the time for the last mouse click on it, from this I need to be able to calculate the time taken to complete.

Query I am using to get the basic info comes from 3 tables so I have only attached the relevent output. Query used is as follow:

SELECT *
FROM PPS_SCOS, PPS_TRANSCRIPTS, PPS_TRANSCRIPT_DETAILS, PPS_PRINCIPALS
WHERE PPS_SCOS.SCO_ID = PPS_TRANSCRIPTS.SCO_ID
AND PPS_TRANSCRIPTS.TRANSCRIPT_ID = PPS_TRANSCRIPT_DETAILS.TRANSCRIPT_ID
AND PPS_TRANSCRIPTS.PRINCIPAL_ID = PPS_PRINCIPALS.PRINCIPAL_ID
AND PPS_SCOS.NAME LIKE 'MTM-106 The Dangers of Smoking'
AND PPS_PRINCIPALS.NAME LIKE 'Nigel Cordiner'
AND PPS_TRANSCRIPTS.TICKET NOT LIKE 'l-%'
ORDER BY PPS_TRANSCRIPT_DETAILS.DATE_CREATED

Output:

Need Help With Job-duration Query

Jan 24, 2008

I have a query that displays number of hours duration in a jobs by months matrix. Here is a simplified version of my tables.

CREATE TABLE jobhead (
jobnum varchar (14) NULL,
jobcompletiondate datetime NULL
)

CREATE TABLE labordtl (
jobnum varchar (14) NULL ,
clockindate datetime NULL ,
clockintime decimal(6, 2) NULL ,
)
Here's an abbreviated query.

SELECT h.JobNum,
(CASE WHEN MONTH(h.JobCompletionDate) = 1 THEN datediff(day,MIN(l.ClockInDate),MAX(l.clockInDate)) ELSE 0 END) AS JAN,
(CASE WHEN MONTH(h.JobCompletionDate) = 2 THEN datediff(day,MIN(l.ClockInDate),MAX(l.clockInDate)) ELSE 0 END) AS FEB,
...
FROM JobHead h
INNER JOIN LaborDtl l ON h.JobNum=l.JobNum
WHERE JobCompletionDate>='20070101' AND JobCompletionDate <'20080101'
AND l.ClockInTime<>0
GROUP BYh.JobNum
,h.JobCompletionDate

The query shows, for each job, the month in which the job completed, and the number of hours it took to complete. I��m calculating the number of days�� duration by doing a datediff between the oldest and newest clockindates. I need to ignore adjustment transactions in the labordtl table �� these rows are easily identified as they have clockintime values of 0. So far, so good. Now here��s my problem.

There are some jobs which have only one ��real�? labor transaction �� this could happen if the job only took one day to complete. Other labor transactions may exist for that job, but let's say they are adjustments which we can ignore -- the date they were entered should not extend the duration of the job. In this situation, my datediff between the oldest valid transaction and the newest, returns 0. I don��t have to count hours between clockintime and clockouttime. The rule is simply that if there is only one "real" labor transaction, I need to count this as a 1 day job.

I thought a nested CASE statement or expression might be the way to go but I didn't make any real progress.

Any ideas to solve this problem would be appreciated.

Run Duration On SQL Job Doubled After Conversion From 6.5 To 7.0

Duration Too Long (opinions)?

Sep 15, 2004

Hearing complaints from users about speed on db server (I have almost no control on design) it just has to work. Ran profiler looking for all sql statements over 4000 millsec and in one hour returned over 715 tsql statements. Over 300 of these were over 10000 milliseconds. THis is on an 8 way Dell with 8 gig of RAM. Looking for opinions, how bad does this look compared to other servers you are taking care of? Cache hit ratio is at 99 % and system queue length still under 1, but this does not look good.

Help With Calculating Duration Time

Oct 14, 2005

I have a table called Tickets which contains ticket information for a machine. Each machine can have more than one ticket number opened at the same time. The ticket number contains start date/time and end date/time of the ticket. Thereefore the table looks something like this:

Ticket_No (int)
Machine_No (int)
Description (char)
Start_Time (datetime)
End_Time (datetime)

I want to be able to calculate total duration time(in hours) that EACH MACHINE had a ticket open...but here is the tricky part. The total duration time that a machine had ticket open has to encompas any tickets that may fall in the same time period. For example:
If Machine A has a ticket open at 8:30 and the ticket is closed at 10:00. Meanwhile, Machine A had another separate ticket open at 9:30 which was closed at 10:30. In this case, the total duration time for this machine would be from 8:30 to 10:30 for a total of 2 hrs duration time.

Can anyone help me get started in tackling this problem or provide any examples?

Hi!

I'm using RDA (Remote Data Access) to pull 20 tables to my Pocket PC. It took quite a long time so I ran a trace to see what happened. Everything looks fine except for when it runs:

exec [mydb]..sp_primary_keys_rowset N'Person',NULL
The duration is: 18446744073!!!

A couple of more tables has this enomous duration others have about 5000 which seems more normal.

Any clues?
