I have a bunch of datbases I have created during the development process. I want to delete those no longer being used. How do I find when the last time a database was accessed?
I was having issue with one of my databases in SQL EXPRESS. It is offline this morning …it said “Database 'MyDB' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. When I checked the error log ..it only said “FCB::Open failed: Could not open file D:DatabasesMyDB_Data.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 32(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15100).
I did alter database offline and and online ..it works for me( I can access the database again but I need to find the cause of this issue )I checked the max memory setting is still by default .. not limited for SQL ..it could be the cause ?
I am hosting my database on a third-party Microsoft SQL server. The guest user is "Off". But, I am not sure if any one else is accessing/viewing/editing my database contents.
Can I know/log/record the users/logins who are viewing/accessing my database. Is there any script or any exisitng machnism which can be used to track these users.
Also, are there any things that I should take care with my database from outside users.

Our application team make design changes of the database in their development server and asks me to restore the bak file from the development server into the production server with replace command. The database in the production server is connected to the application server and so when I try to restore the database error message comes that the database is in use.
So first I find out the sessions with the logins who is the user in the database with sys.dm_exec_sessions joined with sys.dm_exec_requests and then kill the sessions. And after that it is possible to restore. But many times when I kill the session and try to restore in between new sessions comes into effect which are generated from the web server and many times I have to resubmit the query in the dmv's and find the sessions and kill it again and again before restore can be done. Is there any correct method to restore an active database which is being accessed by the application from a web server with out stopping the web server?
I have a plan of decommissioning of unused databases which are not been in use for quite some time. is there any simple way/t-sql to find out When was the database last accessed by each user/login in sqlserver.
Hi, I want to manage memory relational data in the memory(Insert, delete, return) and manipulate the data via SQL 2005 and CLR database objects. The gool is to manage a table that relatively has a lot of inserts and deletes which takes a lot of IO operations and i want to reduce it. the data itself is not permanant each row deleted from the table after 15-20 minutes. I looked at the extended stored procedure and other CLR enable objects and it seams that they all return data from the database itself. How can i return data that is reside in the memory? Thanks.
Hi guys, may I know is it possible to create an update trigger like this ? Assuming there are two database, database A and database B and both are having same tables called 'Payments' table. I would like to update the Payments records on database A automatically after Payments records on database B had been updated. I can't use replication because both tables might having different records and some records are the same. Hope can get any assistance here, thank you.
in the database, there is some information about the applicant: his name, his email, his status (accepted or rejected)....etc. the page that is shown to the administrator displays the applicant name and his status, when he changes any of the applicants status, an email is sent to that applicant. is there any way to do that? thanks in advance

I am making web application using Asp.net C#(Visual Studio2005). And Sql server 2000 as a back End.
Actually I am fetching data from other database(named as retailexcel but in same server). I have wriiten a view (in retailexcel database) to get required data from four table of other database. My problem is when I fetch those data(about 40000 to 50000 record) It taking to much time. I tried catch feature of asp.net2.0. Time reduced but not significantly. So I am trying to import those tables to my database (named Inventory) from that retailexcel.
Now problem is every day or two, record of those tables changes. How can I keep update my tables (which are importing from retailexcel)
I am developing a windows forms app in Visual C# Express edition, it has a database, and when I am debugging, nothing is being done in the database, and I am sure it is nothing to do with the code. Because all I am doing is creating a database with one table, and just dragging the table (with the datagridview) onto a form, then it runs perfectly, but when I add or delete records, and exit the program, it is not reflected on my DB (which is a SQL Server express DB by the way),
I was looking everywhere, and all I could find was to change the "copy to output directory" propierty of the DB to "copy if newer" but still it doesn't work,
I am trying to create a data dictionary for a huge application which has aroung 300 tables in the database....when i perform any operation in the application some tables are updated.... can you help me to find out how can we find out the last updated tables in the database ??
I have very little, to zero, IT configuration knowledge and I am hoping that someone is able to help me out.
I am currently writing the SQL scripts and developing the reports in the SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio, and then deploying the reports to the server for managers to eventually view.
Recently the IT section updated the test database (temp) that is connected to SQL Server 2005, with the live database (production), so that the data and database structure were up to date for me to create the reports.
When the update was done, the connection to SQL Server failed, and the newly appointed IT person responsible for SQL does not know how to resolve the problem. Up until yesterday I was getting a message that said that the connection has failed and then today I have the following message (she has been trying very hard to get it working):
An error occurred during local report processing. An error has occurred during report processing. Query execution failed for dataset 'Division'. The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'Dim1', database 'payglobal', schema 'dbo'.
The reports that were deployed to the server prior to the update are still accessible however I am unable to review any reports I edit within the Development Studio. It has been out of action now for nearly two weeks.
Could someone please give me very detailed instructions on where the IT person should look, and what she should do to fix the problem. I will then pass these onto her.
I been asked recently in the interview thatHow can I detect changes automatically in the SQL Server Database when anything is updated, deleted or inserted?if anyone can help me in this that will be really great. I dont actually know whether I can ask this here but I wanted to know the answer for this and thought this might be right place to ask? sorry if I am wrong? Thanks in Advance
I am new to connecting to databases through java and in fact have not done much database programming although I am fairly good at SQL. I have used the MS JDBC driver to connect to a MS SQL server database but I want to update my application every time a record is added to the database and or alert the user. From what I have read, i assume that I can create a Trigger in java but how do I get my trigger to call a method / run java code?
Hi,I want to save the last modification date when the row is updated. I have a column called "LastModification" in the table, every time the row is update I want to set the value of this column to the current date. So far all I know is that I need to use a trigger and the GetDate() function, but could any body help me with how to set the value of the column to getdate()? thanks for your help.
Stepping thru the code with the debugger shows the dataset rows being deleted.
After executing the code, and getting to the page presentation. Then I stop the debug and start the page creation process again ( Page_Load ). The database still has the original deleted dataset rows. Adding rows works, then updating works fine, but deleting rows, does not seem to work.
The dataset is configured to send the DataSet updates to the database. Use the standard wizard to create the dataSet.
cDependChildTA.Fill(cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild, UserId); rowCountDb = cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild.Count; for (row = 0; row < rowCountDb; row++) { dr_dependentChild = cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild.Rows[0]; dr_dependentChild.Delete(); //cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild.Rows.RemoveAt(0); //cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild.Rows.Remove(0); /* update the Client Process Table Adapter*/ // cDependChildTA.Update(cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild); // cDependChildTA.Update(cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild); } /* zero rows in the DataSet at this point */ /* update the Child Table Adapter */ cDependChildTA.Update(cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild);
I am using web service to synchronize data between SQL Server 2005 on a desktop and a SQL Server Mobile Edition on a mobile device.
Initially, when i added the data source to my mobile application, my .sdf only has 3 records. I am then supposed to retrieve 97 more records from the desktop server when my mobile application runs. After performing merging, I clicked (on my device emulator) on the .sdf deployed under my mobile application and the query analyzer showed all 100 records.
Does this mean my mobile database has been successfully updated with all 100 records? If not, how do I check that? The reason why I am asking this is that the file size of this .sdf with 100 records is still the same as the initial .sdf with only 3 records. How is this possible?
Am I missing anything or getting some concepts wrong? Please enlighten. Thanks.

We installed SP1 for SQL Server 2014 this past weekend and got this error message in the logs. I found that if you set the db to read-write, it updates the system objects, even after SP1 has completed. Then you can set it back to read-only. I'm just posting this so other people can find it on the internet, as I wasn't able to find it specifically.
Error Log Entry:System objects could not be updated in database 'x' because it is read-only.
Problem: After installing SP1 for SQL Server 2014 you will find this message in the error logs saying read-only databases could not be updated.
Solution: Simply set the db to read-write and the system objects will get updated, long after SP1 was installed.
ALTER DATABASE [x] SET READ_WRITE WITH NO_WAIT
Then set it back to read-only:
ALTER DATABASE [x] SET READ_ONLY WITH NO_WAIT
You should then see these log entries:
System objects could not be updated in database 'x' because it is read-only. Setting database option READ_WRITE to ON for database 'x'. Starting up database 'x'.

I just got assigned to be our companies sql server dba, there are about 80 databases on various servers. I am suspecting many are not even used. Is there a way for me to tell the last time they were accessed and by whom? And, more importantly, the last time any changes have been made in the database? Thanks in advance.
The purpose of this is to create a list of tables that could potentially be deleted. I would then prefix them with a d and the auto delete them after x number of days? or move them to a deletions database?
Just trying to automate a bit of house keeping in the active databases.
What are my options to find heavily accessed DBs on a server? I know I can do this by profiler and some counters. Is there any tool which gives me this information easily?
