Good Statistic For Blocking
Jan 14, 2004
We are having an occasional problem occur where a
process will not stop blocking.
We are trying to trace the problem, but in the interim,
I would like to set up an alert that notifies me when a
process has been blocking for too long.
Are any of the lock wait times good statistics to use
for such an alert? If not, is there anything else I could
look at from the alert level?
If I had to, I could periodically create a table of
sysprocess spids that are at the top of blocking chains,
then test for a spid that lingers. I'm hoping I can
avoid this and use the built-in monitoring instead, though.
Thanks!

Has anyone implemented or knows an easy refernce to implement F-statistic for single variable linear regression? I was told it's not implemented in SSAS, so it seems like implementing it manually is the only way to go.
Thanks in advance,

Is there a possibility to express the text column with SELECT SQL command, to get AS column which will represent all values in the field?
I mean - to convert:
IDresult__IDquestion_answers
....
24______72_________178,180,191
25______77_________221,224
26______79_________291,298,301,302
27______84_________522,523,525
....
into:
IDresult__IDquestion_numberedanswers
....
24______72_________178
24______72_________180
24______72_________191
25______77_________221
25______77_________224
26______79_________291
26______79_________298
26______79_________301
26______79_________302
27______84_________522
27______84_________523
27______84_________525
....
Can SQL do that?

Is there a DMV or similar in SQL 2012, or SQL 2008, that shows when a statistic was last used by the optimizer? I would like to cleanup some of the auto-generated stats, assuming it's possible to do so. In particular I'm looking to drop those statistics that were created by one-off queries, data loads, etc, and are now doing nothing but adding to the execution time of Update Statistics jobs.

Hi,
I Have a table below.
Query
PKEY id int
name varchar(128)
date_add DateTime
What is the SQL statement to get the number of query on each day?
the output should be date and quantity. There should still be an output even if there is no query on that day.
The only way I can think of is by a table-value UDF. (rough design)
function(startdate, enddate)
{
for each day from start to end
insert into result select count(*) from Query where date_add = currentDate
return
}
Is there a more efficient way to do this?
Thanks,
Max

One sql transaction is in rollback state and optimization job is trying to restructure index on the same table that this transaction is using. As a result,
transaction is in 'blocking' state and optimization job is in 'blocked' state. 'Kill process' doesn't do anything. How can this situation be resolved?

Is it possible that blocking can occur between a select and update statements running at the same time on the same object??thanks for the reply!

Anyone out there having "self blocking" issues since upgrading to SP4 on SQL 2000? Enabing trace flag 9059 has not helped, is this a parallelism issue ?

Any ideas?
I execute a sproc from QA.
It interogates a folder:
Select @Command_String = 'Dir ' + @FilePath + '*.txt'
Insert Into XLAT_Folder exec master..xp_cmdshell @Command_String
[/code[
Which I then Parse and get the details...
Set up a CURSOR (Booo hiss....)
[code]
DECLARE XLAT_Folder CURSOR FOR
SELECT Create_Time
, File_Size
, [File_Name]
FROM XLAT_Folder_Parsed
ORDER BY [File_Name]
WHILE FETCH STATUS = 0
BEGIN
BEGIN TRAN
Then, based on the methodology that the file name must match the table and format file (I check to make sure everything is out there)
I then bcp the data in using my connection pooling id (I'm logged on as sa in qa)
SET @cmd = 'bcp ' + @db_name + '..' + SUBSTRING(@File_Name,1,CHARINDEX('.',@File_Name)-1) + ' in '
+ @FilePathAndName
+ ' -f' + 'd:DataTax' + SUBSTRING(@File_Name,1,CHARINDEX('.',@File_Name)-1) + '.fmt'
+ ' -S' + @@servername + ' -U -P'
SET @Command_string = 'EXEC master..xp_cmdshell ''' + @cmd + '''' + ', NO_OUTPUT'
INSERT INTO #XLAT_BCP_Results(Col1) Exec(@Command_String)
MOVE DATA FILE TO ARCHIVE
COMMIT TRAN
ANOTHER FETCH
A spid is launched to do the bcp...I have 4 files...on the last load The connection Pooling lauched spid gets blocked by the sa spid that launched the sproc...it doesn't happen all the time, just most of the time....
I've put a trace on in Profiler, but I don't see anything...I've picked the event class of deadlocks...but I never see it...
When I do sp_who, it shows the blocking...
I'm so confused....

Hi just read an article on the internet that states
"A quick way to resolve a blocking problem is to disconnect the connection blocking the rest of the users. All you have to do is ask your database administrator to execute the KILL statement. Obviously, this is not a permanent solution, and won't really help anything except take care of an immediate need."
Now when i run sp_who ... i see that the spid that is blocking is the same as the spid itself....
Now the above article states that killing the one that is blocking the rest of the other spids is ok ...
But what if its the same SPID that is blocking ...what does it signify & whats the solution
Thanks

Hi Gurus,
I am running a simple SELECT statement on my TempDB
SELECT * FROM TempDB..SysObjects
When I run this , it's getting blocked by some other Process which is not at all relevant to the above Qry. First it gets blocked by one Stored Proc say Proc1 ( The Proc1 is just a SELECT statement on a table which just has four rows ). So I just kill this PROC1 and again its gets blocked by some other stored Proc PROC2 which again is a simple stored Proc and it runs in not time.
Any Suggestions as to where to start.
Thx in Advance

I have upgraded a MS SQL database from 6.5 to 7.0. The database functioned fine in 6.5, now I have a table that is locking due to a blocking process. If I kill the process all is fine, but am trying to determine what is causing the process to hang. Has anyone experience any similar situations.

I know that spid 22 is blocking 2 other users. How do I tell who that user is? Is this just matching the same spid# in the process info in EM and if it doesn't give me an NT name it's probably because they're coming through the application and I can't figure it out?
Thanks

Hi there,
I've a encountering a problem with "Blocking" and would highly appreciatd, if anyone out there please advice how to get to the bottom of this. the problem in as follows:
Every now and then, my SQL Server Freezes and when i look at the process info, i see some user connections in blocked mode and some in blocking. i dont know, where to start looking for. my first question would be, what should I do here? Should i kill the blocked user or blocking user? Also, Whats the difference between this two modes (blocked and blocking) and why does this happening? can i trace the user id which is causing this problem?
Experts please advice, what to do in the near future to aviod this.
I search at microsoft support site and came up nothing good about this problem.
Appreciated, If anyone out there advice on this.
Many thanks in advance.

When an SA attempts to change permission on any object they are shown as blocked as expected. However as new users access the object the SA's process is continuely blocked until the object is free. Can anyone explain this??

found many blocking on SQL2000 enterprise by insert statement, the same insert statement failed in the sql/w with violation on the primary key.
however, the appl insert also got the same error from log, but still in 'blocking' instead of to be 'killed' by the pk violation.
what would be the options to deal with this issue?
thanks

Please advice.
I have a sql2K SP3 active/passive failover cluster running on W2K SP4. I epxerienced a blocking scenario. The blocking process was killed only to find another process cause blocking. Killing the blocking process didn't resolve the blocking issue.
Eventually I had to fail over the SQL Server instance to another node and that brought resove the blocking issue.
What direction should I look for investigation and solution.
URGENT PLEASE.
Help appreciated

I have a vendor supplied database which seems to have a simple blocking problem. The blocking will occur when a user tries to delete from a table where another user might be inserting or selecting from. The table has only 3 columns and the delete statement looks fine. (they are not deleting the same record) This is on SQL 2000 sp1. has anyone seen this or have any ideas. The db is on a fast server (quad 2 gig of ram). I did have the thought on a problem I ran into with an older db on SQL 7 where the write-ahead RAID controller was actually causing a simlar problem. Any help appreciated

Hi All,
I have a hypothetical scenario. I have few developers who all know the sa password. I want to block one developer from accessing the SQL server eventhough he knows the sa password.
Do we have any mechanism in SQL Server 2000 to block client based on the IP address of the client?
SQl Server is installed on Windows 2000 server. It uses SQL Server & Windows authentication.
Regards,
Anand

I don't understand why a CREATE PROC from 3.5 hours ago is the head blocker. The SP wasn't changed since in months so this must be a compile/recompile? It's not a COMPILE lock though but a PAGE lock. It's certainly not the initial creation. What else can be done to debug this? It's happening and usually resolving itself in 4-6 hours or if I kill the head blocker myself. It doesn't happen every day but almost every day.
I've retrieved this info about the blocking from DMVStats and found similar info using my regular blocking info script also pulling info from DMV's.
I'm running SQL 2005 SP2 Enterprise.
statement started 6:35AM
waiting statement (PAGE lock):
insert into grades (blah,blah)
select blah blah from homework join blah blah
statement started at 3:01AM
blocking statement: =============================================
-- Author: <Author,,Name>
-- Create date: <Create Date,,>
-- Description: <Description,,>
-- =============================================
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[ResultsHomeworkDelete]
@homeworkResultId int,
@NumDeleted int output

delete homeworksessions where homeworkresult_id = @homeworkresultId
set @NumDeleted=@@ROWCOUNT
delete homeworkresults where homeworkresult_id=@homeworkresultId

MOM contains its own Block Analysis script. It is a script written onVB, that looks for the monitored servers, creates for each oneMomCreateObject("SQLDMO.SQLServer"), afterwards connects to eachdatabase on each server and executes SELECT GETDATE() query. If MOMdoesn't receive answer for 6 minutes, it sends alert. Several timessince I started to monitor my servers I received the next alert:The program "SQLDMO_789" has been blocked for 6 minutes on databaseBurstingDataWarehouse in the SQL instance MSSQLSERVER. The definedacceptable blocking threshold is 1 minute(s). "SQLDMO_789" is runningon SPID 134 as login NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM and is blocked by SPID 133.The resource id is KEY: 10:2:1 (a2007950f190)SQLDMO_789 - is the MOM itself (number varies from time to time). 10 -is BurstingDataWarehouse database. As far as I can judge, MOM connectsto the server succesfully (otherwise, how can it know SPID?) The serveritself worked fine at that time - nothing unusual, all the jobsfinished succesfully including the heavy ones. What can block SELECTGETDATE() query for 6 minutes???

We have a situation that occurs every so often with blocking ofvarious databases on one server (Win200 SQL7). It appears to happen atrandom, so I'm assuming it originates from something a user does andnot a regularily run process.We've examined the data available to us and used the very helpfulblocking code on http://www.algonet.se/~sommar/sqlutil/aba_lockinfo.html(Thanks Erland).Were getting closer to finding the problem, but need some advice onwhat to look for.This is a bit of guesswork, but we suspect that we get into asituation where blocking takes places, and this then cascades to otherprocesses which then block others in turn. The original culprit thenfinishes, but the blocks continue as the newer processes are holdingsomething else up. A bit like dominoes. It seems to take a while tofree this up.The problem we have is determining the start of this process. Once weare made aware of blocking issues, we can find out who is doing what,but almost always get a different answer/user and think we're gettingto it a little late.Ideally, I want to log the blocking somewhere so I can examine thefiles when this occurs and can therefore establish a pattern etc...Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome.

SQL2K, sp3Active Server Pages front-endI am having a blocking problem with a spid executing a storedprocedure that does no updates. When I look at the locks the blockingspid has, some of them have lock mode "IS". Looking in BOL, I see "S"is shared, but I don't see "IS". Can anyone tell me what lock mode"IS" is?And how could a stored procedure that does no updates be guilty ofblocking?There are no cursors in it.Thanks!
