I was wondering is the following is correct with the network packet size.
I've installed sql server 2000 and made some changes in the configuration.
Now i've read that sql server's default network packet size is 4096 bytes,
but when i look up the advanced tab, in the optionsmenu of the enterprise
manager, the network
packetsize is 0!
Now i see that some connections are memoryconsuming, could the above has
something do with this and should i change the network packet size.
We have an application that runs across the WAN to multiple locations. Performance is poor and we are looking at ways to improve performance. One suggestion from our Sr. Network Administrator is to change our Network Packet Sizes across all points, SQL Server & NIC to match the outgoing Router. This would be a size of 1440.
Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations on this?
I have a dts package that transfers data from a view into a table structure on another server. Occassionly the scheduled package will fail with the following error:
Error = -2147467259 (80004005) Error string: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error. Check your network documentation. Error source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Help file: Help context: 0 Error Detail Records: Error: -2147467259 (80004005); Provider Error: 11 (B) Error string: [DBNETLIB] [ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error. Check your network documentation. Error source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Help file: Help context: 0 DTSRun OnFinish: Copy Data from PS... Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.
Once the package fails I will rerun it several times without any modifications and eventually it will run to completion successfully. One change that I have made while troubleshooting is to change the default network package size from 1 to 1024 or 2048. Although this has worked I'm not confident that the package wouldn't have run without that change.
Has anyone seen this error before or anything similar?
Hello every one I am getting this in my event log from time to time . not sure what is that ? Is this a hacker trying to send rubbish data to SQL through the port ? Any help is appreciated .
Length specified in network packet payload did not match number of bytes read; the connection has been closed. Please contact the vendor of the client library. [CLIENT: someip]
Length specified in network packet payload did not match number of bytes read; the connection has been closed. Please contact the vendor of the client library. [CLIENT: xxx.xx.xxx.xx]
Client IP address is same as the server its producing the error on. I get these messages around 12pm everyday.
I am having an issue with SQL 2005 SSIS package...Win 2003 SP2...SQL 2005...
We receive files in the format of .TRK into an input directory...These files then are copied to a local directory on server and a .bat file loops through renaming each .TRK to MyFile.Txt...MyFile.Txt is then uploaded to a SQL table via DTS...Nothing complicated...The DTS runs fine when MyFile.Txt is placed there manually and executed...The rub is the call through batch file...

I have an expression based project connection manager in an existing package and updating Packet Size parameter.
After update and clicking on OK, Packet Size value reverts back to 0 (which is old value). This connection manager is used by lot of Dataflow tasks in my package and recreating the connection manager and updating the reference is not a viable option.
My group has recently begun ramping up #of users from 5-10 to 50 concurrent. I'm currently using a 10Mb/s Ethernet but am not sure if there is a fiber or multiplexing solution that I could use to increase output. Basically, we're looking at up to 50 heavy duty data pulls (50MB+) at any one time.
Hello all, I will try to supply all of the information available to me to help generate some answers to the question I have. I am doing some benchmark testing of an application of how it deals with various database queries, for example oracle 10g, DB2 and MSSQL 2005. I have a very simple database called "student" that has various tables, with various columns, all as mentioned very simplistic. Each table has a few hundred rows of data, the most being one table with 2000 rows. The same database (structure and dataset), is replicated across all 3 DB's. In order to do the testing, I have been recording the same queries (select * from table_a, select * from table_b etc etc) for each database at an interface which monitors traffic between the client and db server, the problem starts here; The size of the tcpdumps are vastly greater for MSSQL vs oracle or db2. Some examples:
100 query or transaction dump: mssql=3.7mb oracl10g=133kb
50,000 query or transaction dump: mssql=1.8gb oracl10g=0.6gb db2=0.6gb
as mentioned each database's tables and data are identical to my knowledge and all queries are the same. The bloated dumps are making mssql performance numbers look bad.
So my question is: What could be the reason for MSSQLs client/server queries to contain so much information, has anyone else come across this? Is there any setting or something I could try to minimize it?
We are looking at installing a new Oracle server for a client but have been told that they have used Oracle in the past but had a lot of problems with slow response even though the bandwidth on the WAN was barely being used. He says that this was due to the fact that Oracle sends out very small packets across the network meaning that there are hundreds of packets being sent out. This caused a problem on the routers being used as it was killing the processors. Is this still the case and have you had other reports of slow response of this nature?
I'm trying to organize this SQL query from a packet capture and I'm more of a network/application guy, not so much of a DBA. To me it looks like they are using variables in their query and the "@" is a delimiter.

I am trying to resize a database initial log file from 500M to 2M. I€™m using€?
ALTER DATABASE <DBNAME> MODIFY FILE ( NAME = <DBLOGFILENAME, SIZE = 2 ) "
And I'm getting "MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size." I tried going into the database properties and setting the log file to 2M, but it doesn€™t keep the changes.
When I was installing vs.net 2008, I chose to install sql server express. But after I installed it, I found I could only see the configuration tools of sql server, but I couldn't find the sql server express service. When I ran the surface area configuration for services and connections, I msgbox came out and told me "No sql server 2005 components were found on the specified computer.....". Why? Thanks.

Searching on the internet we don't get a satisfying answer. This connection to the database is made through a .NET web service using the default client libraries from the Base Class Library. We are talking about a fully patched SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition and .NET Framework 3.5.
Any clues?
I only found the following "relevant" link: http://www.webservertalk.com/message1539518.html
But I am the kind of guy that likes to know what went or goes wrong instead of trying out hacks like the one described in the above link.
We have a Windows 2003 Web Edition server serving a site through IIS. It connects to a Windows 2003 Standard Edition server running SQL 2000 SP3a.
This site receives the following error as seen in the topic: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error. Check your network documentation.
We've configured the server network utility to only allow TCP/IP connections. The connection string for the site is as follows:
Any ideas or tips on solving this issue? We've noticed it is due to larger queries as smaller ones do work with no problems.
The servers are behind a BSD box running iptables, has 1433,1434 along with standard web ports wide open. Anything outbound is allowed.
Some further testing via ODBC on the IIS server improved things. No more connection pooling for the SQL Server driver allows for 1/3 of the query to run. Still 2/3s of it doesn't show up, and that general network error message appears.
Hi While running a DTS, many times the error message: "[DBNETLIB][ConnetionWrite (WrapperWrite()).]General network error. Check your network documentation." appears. Does somebody knows why?
I am running the DTS from a computer (not the server where the DTS is stored) and it is connected without any problem when this happens.
My application is running fine, as i can login to it and also able to view pages. But when i open Order management(having 3K records) its give me error,

I have also searched many articles and tried following solutions but nothing working
- connectiontimeout = 0, max pool size = 7500/100, pooling = false
- SSL disabling enforce security false as mentioned in microsoft kb article.
And there's nothing any issue with hardware/firewall as my application's login and other forms are working fine(which use same database with same connection string)

While doing performance testing on a Tomcat based web application using the v1.1 JDBC driver connecting to SQL Server 2005, the tomcat server has been throwing the above exception at a fairly low rate. I have seen some related issues in the forums with v1.1 of the MS JDBC driver, but those were asking about connection reset related errors. In this case the 'invalid packet header' exception is consistently seen. I am in the process of repeating the test with some additional application side logging turned on, and have tried enabling FINEST level logging for the driver, but that leaves me with a 500MB log file and so far no instances of that exception in question being thrown. This is not unusual, the error has only been seen about 14 times in about 20 tests, with each test running about an hour and a half.
A few quick tests with the 1.2 driver did not throw this exception, but did throw a high number of '[Connection|Statement|Resultset] Closed'
While I gather more information, I was wondering if there is anything significant in this particular exception type that could point to a more specific set of tests I could run?
The exceptions seen so far:

Using C#, SQL Server 2005, ASP.NET 2, in a web app, I've tried removing the size from parameters of type NCHAR, NVARCHAR, and VARCHAR. I'd rather just send a string and let the size of the parameter in the SP truncate any extra chars if need be. I began getting the error below, and eventually realized it happened only with output parameters, as in the code snippet below.String[3]: the Size property has an invalid size of 0. par = new SqlParameter("@BusinessEntity", SqlDbType.NVarChar); par.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output; cmd.Parameters.Add(par); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();What's the logic behind this? Is there any way around it other than either finding out what the size should be, or assigning a size larger than would ever be needed? ThanksMike Thomas
I have one db test with one .mdf and .ldf file...mdf file size is 100mb and for some reson i removed all the tablesfrom that .mdf file and transfer it into new secondary file so all thetables moved into secondary file now i want to reduce the first .mdffile from 100 mb to 50mb is that possible,it's showing 90mb is free.Please reply
