Problem: Performance Difference Between MSDE And SQL Express 2005
Feb 4, 2007Hello, all, I started out thinking my problems were elsewhere but as Ihave worked through this I have isolated my problem, currently, as adifference between MSDE and SQL Express 2005 (I'll just call itExpress for simplicity).I have, to try to simplify things, put the exact same DB on twosystems, one running MSDE and one running Express. Both have 2 Ghzprocessors (one Intel, one AMD), both have a decent amount of RAM(Intel system has 1 GB, AMD system has 512 MB), and plenty of GB offree disk space. MSDE is running on the Intel system, Express isrunning on the AMD system. To keep things fair I use the exact sameDB's and query on both systems. The DB's were created on MSDE so Isp_detach_db'd them from MSDE and then sp_attach_db'd them to Express(this is how MS says to do a "side-by-side" upgrade, so it'sacceptable to do so). After fighting problems in performancedifferences in different situations I have narrowed the problem downto this:Executing a simple select statement with join clause on the databasesyields a difference in execution time that is quite great. Using theExpress Management program I can run the query against either system(MSDE or Express, the two systems are connected via crossover cable toeliminate any network problems/issues). When running the queryagainst the MSDE system (which is over the network) I consistently get<20 ms response times on the query. When running the query againstthe Express installation (which is in shared memory) I consistentlyget 700 ms or longer response times. Both times are for the TotalExecution Time.The query is simply this: select db1.* from db1.owner.tablename as db1inner join db2.owner.tablename as db2 on db1.pkey = db2.someid wheredb1.criteria = 3So, gimme all the columns from one table in one DB (local to theinstallation), matching the records in another DB (also local to theinstallation), where one field in the first db matches a field in thesecond db and where, in the first db, one column value = 3.The first table has a total record count of 630 records of which only12 match the where clause. The second table has a total record countof about 2,700 of which only 12 match up on the 12 out of 630.Even though the data is the same and I've done the detach and attach,and even done the sp_updatestats, the difference in execution time isremarkable, in a bad way.Checking the Execution Plan reveals that both queries have the samesteps, but, on the MSDE system the largest consumer in the process isthe Clustered Index Scan of the 630 record table (DB1 in my queryexample), using 85%. The next big consumer is a Clustered Index Seekagainst the other table (2,700 rows), using 15%.The Execution Plan against the Express system reveals basically theexact opposite: 27% going to the Clustered Index Scan of the 630record DB1, and 72% going to the Clustered Index Seek of the 2,700record DB2.I'm sorry to be stupid but I have this information but I don't knowwhat to do with it. The best that I can tell from this is that thisis the source of my problems. My problems are that on my currentsystems that my clients use the data is returned to them faster thanthey can click the mouse and that the new system (that is, when theychose (or are forced by attrition) to move to Vista and thus Express2005) the screen pop is like 1.5 seconds. This creates poor userexperience. Worse, one process I allow the users to do goes fromtaking 14-30 seconds to over 4 minutes (all on the same machine withthe same OS and version of my program, so it's not a machine or OS ormy app problem).Anyway, I hope someone can shed some light on this now that I've paredit down some.Thanks in advance.--HC

Difference Between The SQL Server Express Bundled With C#/VB VS The Downloadable SQL Server Express SP1 With Advanced Services
Aug 31, 2006 What is the Difference between the SQL Server Express Bundled with C#/VB VS the downloadable SQL Server Express SP1 with advanced Services?
I installed C# with SQL Server Express, however I wanted to add the Full Text Searching and the SQL Server Management Studio Express, so I downloaded and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP1. When I installed it over top of my current installation, it complained of version mismatching, and then C# failed to recognize that I had SQL 2005 Express installed at all.
What I'd like to know is, which version is more current (they have to be different, they had different version numbers, one was 9.xx.xxxx the other was 2005.9.xx.xxxx) The one bundled with C#, or the SP1 downloadable one.
Firstly, I want to be up todate as far as security patches, and Secondly, how do I add the full text searching and SSMSE to the one bundled with C# without breaking it.

SQL Server Vs. Express Behaviour Difference...
Jun 4, 2008Hi all,
I want to share an experience I made in the last few days and like to hear your comments about it. I am developing an ASP.Net 2.0 Web Application using SQL Server 2005 on my local system. After implementation was done, I had to deploy the application to the production server. Because of license problems, on the server is the express edition of SQL Server installed. The system worked fine for about 2 month. But the last week we noticed, that there was deadlocks in the application. After searching a while I noticed, that there were a lot of open connections. When you open SQL Server Management Studio and look at Management > Activity Monitor, you can see all opened connections in the connection pool.
So the problem was, that with every request, a new connection was created, instead of using the existing ones, even if the state of the connections was sleeping. On SQL Express, if a specific limit of connections is reached, it'll wait for a connection to be released, but there is no release, so it threw a timeout error. But suprisingly, on SQL Server there also were a lot of connections created, but there were never a deadlock, which I can't explain. Also I can't explain, why it also worked for 2 months on SQL Express.
The architecture:
I have data classes, which are implementing IDisposable. In the dispose method, I call Dispose on the connection and set it to null. And in code I instanciate my data classes in using blocks. So on reaching the end of the using block the data class instance is disposed. In the dispose method the connection is disposed. So I thought, that everythink will work fine, but it doesn't.
The problem was solved by calling Close() on the connection in the Dispose method in my data class just before calling conn.Dispose().
So does this make sense to you? The fact, that it solved my problem lets me believe to that solution, but I can't really say why. So if you have any ideas or knowledge, I'd love to hear it.

Koray
Difference Between SQL Mobile 2005 And SQL Compact 2005
May 24, 2007Hello,
Could someone give me the difference between "Sql Mobile 2005" and "Sql Compact 2005".
At first I thought they were the same, that this was just something of the change in naming the server has had the last months.
My first guess was that Mobile would be the new one, but I have 'accidently' downloaded the Compact and what seems the System.data.SqlServerCE.dll is newer.
So is there a difference?
If yes, what are they.
If not, is the "compact" then the latest version and the name to be used (since on the site only "mobile" is mentioned).
Best regards,

Edited Data Won't Propagate Back To The Database (VB 2005 Express && SQL Server 2005 Express)
Dec 11, 2006
Hi,
I'm trying to learn some VB programming with the VB 2005 Express Absolute Beginner Series video tutorials (which I think is great) and have come across a problem that I can't solve.
When I follow the instructions in Lesson 9 (Databinding Data to User Interface Controls) my application will display the data from the database correctly and I can edit it (and as long as the debugger is running the data remains changed). However, the changes won't propagate back to the database. I don't get any error messages but after I edit the data, save (with the save button on the BindingNavigator toolbar), and end debugging the data in my database remains unchanged. When I use a MessageBox to show how many rows where edited/updated in the
Me.myTableTableAdapter.Update(Me.myDatabaseDataSet.myTable)
I get the correct number back. I'm sure the problem is not due to coding errors since I've also tried running the accompanying Lesson 9 project file that can be downloaded from MSDN and the problem persists.
I'm using Windows XP SP2, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and VB 2005 Express Edition. I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express with a number of different settings, including default settings, but it doesn't make any difference.
Would greatly appreciate any feedback on this as I'm keen to resolve this problem so I can get on with the next tutorial lesson.
Thanks,
Ieyasu

How To Apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 To The Version Of SQL Server 2005 Express Which Installs With Visual Studio 2005?
Aug 8, 2006When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:

Strange Difference Between Sql 2002 And 2005.
Dec 5, 2007hi,
I just realized that this must be a difference between sql server 2000 and 2005.
For example, the query is like this:
declare @n int
set @n = -1
select @n = employeeid from employees where companyID=1 and idnumber='1-1'
--select @n
if(@n is null)
......
If there is no such employee, in 20002, @n will be null, but in 2005, @n is -1, not null. Am I right?
So, for this piece, I have to do twice on the same where, like
if(exists(select * from employees where companyID=1 and idnumber='1-1'))
select @n=employeeid from employees where companyID=1 and idnumber='1-1'
else
set @n = null
Any better way?
Thanks.

Why Can't I Get SQL Express 2005 And VB Studio Express 2005/2008to Work Together?
Feb 22, 2008
This is what I have done.
1. Installed VB.NET IDE 2008 and SQL Server Compact 2005. IDE requires upgrade of database to 3.0 version which I allowed it to do. After the database was upgraded, I did an amount of coding work in the IDE and then tried to go back to do more database work in SQL. However the database then could not be opened in SQL Server Compact 2005. An error said that because it had been upgraded, it could not be read. It was requiring me to run 'upgrade.exe'. I had no idea what this meant and could find no upgrade available online.
2. Removed VB.NET IDE 2008 and installed 2005 instead. However, the file extension on the SQL Server Compact database is .sdf, but the IDE is requiring a .mdf extension. I have tried everything I can think of to get it to save or to have the desired extension, but I cannot.
Questions:
1. Do SQL Express 2005 and VB Studio Express 2008 work together?
2. If so, how?
It seems as though application each requires a different version of the database. If the database is usable in one, it is not usable in another.
Thanks for the help.

2000 To 2005 Query Processng Difference?
Mar 8, 2007I found an unusual problem between 2000 and 2005 I haven't been ableto decipher from any documentation.The query structure is as follows:select *fromtableA ajointableB b ON a.somekey = b.somekeywherea.type = 'A'and datediff(yyyy, b.someDateField, getdate()) betweena.lowboundary and a.highboundarySome basic facts about the elements and data. The low and high-boundary fields are varchar datatypes. In 2005 (regardless ofcompatibility type I run the database under), the query evaluates theBETWEEN and errors out due to the fact that it is evaluating theDATEDIFF as an integer and finds a non-integer entry in eitherlowboundary or highboundary. I understand and expect this behavior.Obviously, changing the result of the DATEDIFF function to varcharallows the operation to go forth.The odd thing is that there is no "a.type = 'A' " entry, thus thequery wouldn't return anything. In 2000, it seems as though theengine is evaluating the type = 'A' and short-circuiting and in 2005,it is trying to evaluate the entire query OR is there an implicitconversion occuring in 2000 and not in 2005?As I mentioned, the compatibility mode doesn't change how this reacts,but running this on a native 2000 server allows this to happen. Thisparticular code isn't the problem, it's what we might have to contendwith when we migrate this through. Sure, we're going to performregression testing, but I'm concerned about what we would miss.Thanks for any replies.

Find Difference In Month And Year In Sql Server 2005
Jun 17, 2008--find day,month,year

-- --for month select datediff(m,'01 jun 2006',getdate())
-- --for year select datediff(year,'01 jun 2006',getdate())
above working fine but suppose difference is 1 year 4 month and 2 month 15 days then It's giving 1 year and 2 month respectively.
but I want completely so I can use this in case of expired user in my project.
User can be expired in 1 month,3 month and 1 year. So I'm not able to recognize.

Query Performance Difference Between Sql Server 2005 And 2000
Aug 1, 2007Hi,
I'm having an issue with a query I'm running on Sql Server 2005. It's a semi-complex query involving an in-line table function and several left outer joins which are joined on to the results of the function call. Two of the left outer joins are then qualified in a where clause of the form where table.Col is not null; the idea is that the final result set contains data that has no match in those two tables.
The problem revolves around a where clause in the function and the last left outer join (ie, one of the ones qualified with where not null). When I alter the where clause of the function to further restrict the result set the function returns, the query times shoots up from 1 second to roughly 2-3 minutes. Note that the time the function takes to complete is not affected. The difference in time is purely down to what the query does with the results the function provides. Also note that the change to the where clause provides a subset of the original data; it does not add any more data (it actually restricts the original resultset by roughly 1000 rows).
I can bring the query speed back down again by removing the last left outer join - this join takes one of the columns from the function, and joins it to a small table - 924 rows. So it appears that this particular join is the cause of the issue, but only when using the resultset generated from the modified function query.
Now, as the thread title alludes, Sql Server 2000 and 2005 handle this differently, or appear to. When I execute this same query on a Sql 2000 machine, there's no apparent time differences, and the data that is returned is as expected. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing this and how I can fix it? I could simply return the larger resultset and use managed code to filter out the rows I don't want; however, I would like to get to the bottom of this, especially if it's going to effect future queries.
Cheers,
Chris

Getting Up And Running With Visual SQL Server 2005 Express And Visual Web Developer 2005 Express
Apr 11, 2006I've downloaded and installed both of these (VWD installs both) and have been trying to run through the walkthrough of setting up a web application which supports membership. However, no matter what I do I invariably get errors like the following:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
I'm concerned why VWD and VSQL express versions don't run correctly out of the box (so to speak). I'm not an expert on configuring these services -- but that's the point of offering these tools to hobbyists: So we can learn about how to make some of these great applications using MS tools.
My configuration::
Windows XP SP2 -- clean machine as of about a month ago, never had any dev tools, web servers, or the like on it.
IIS is installed and the service says its running
VSQL and VWD express versions installed (no errors on installation)
SQL server service indicates it is running
.Net 2.0 framework installed (no errors on installation)
Note: I've tried installing on two separate machines. Obviously I'm missing something fundamental.
Would someone please help me go through the million things I [apparently] need to do to configure all these tools so I can get on to actually coding up my first web application? If this is documented somewhere, all I can say is I tried to find it but it certainly wasn't obvious.
