SQL 2012 :: Restoring Orphaned MDF File
Sep 23, 2014Been asked to restore an orphaned MDF file leftover after a botched uninstall - no .bak file. Tried to reattach, but got an error, I don't think it had been detached. My initial answer was, "No, very likely can't be done".
Am I right? Or is there a way of attaching it that doesn't require it to have been detached?
Orphaned Connections
Jan 15, 2002On SQL 6.5 we have had a couple of instances recently where an orphan connection cannot be killed and the only way to get rid of it is to stop and start the service. Does anyone know of any other way to get rid of that orphan connection?

Jan 14, 2000As I do analysis on a database I am finding multiple clustered indexes defined on a single table.
I know this is not possible since SQL Server only allows one clustered index per table.
With more research I found these suspected clustered indexes have a corresponding row in
sysindexes but without a correlating id match in either sysobjects or syscolumns.
Is this orphaning of indexes common and what is a recommended solution.
Thanks,

in the middle of this transaction the connection drops (say we pull out our network cable) but this will leave the transaction still running and it will be orphaned.
i know i can kill them in sql server, but what i'm looking for this to somehow not happen at all.

Mirroring And Orphaned Users
May 29, 2006Hi there!
There is still a problem with mirrored (mapped) SQL Users. If you mirror a database where an application connects with an sql user, the mapping (login / user) will be lost on the mirror server. After a failover occurs, it it not possible to log onto the new principal database because the database use will be an orphaned user and has to be remapped to the login (using sp_change_users_login 'update_one', 'user', 'user').
Is there any chance to do it in a system trigger? What is the firing event after the failover occurs? I've tried something like following, but it doesn't fire.
alter TRIGGER map_orphaned_users
ON ALL SERVER
FOR ALTER_DATABASE
AS
execute sp_change_users_login 'update_one', 'easyris_41', 'easyris_41';
Someone an idea how to automate these usermapping after failover on the (new) principal server?
SQL 2000 Orphaned Connections
May 24, 2007We have 4 sql servers which service 4 load balanced web servers (with sticky sessions) and we recently brought one of the four SQL servers online.
In the last week the new SQL Server 2000 Standard (SP4) has been exhibing orphaned connections and attempts to use invalid connections out of the connection pool on the app servers. This manifests itself in General network Errors and Timeouts (when the sql is not really doing much other than simple table requests).
Does anyone have any experience in what might be causing this on a new server. I've asked our networking people to verify that the network routing and firewall are set the same as the other three servers. The application is the same acrossed all of the app servers so I've ruled out any issues with the application not closing connections.
Orphaned SQL Logins On The Mirror
Nov 20, 2006Hi there,
I€™ve recently set-up database mirroring between two servers in the same domain: DMZSQL01 and DMZSQL02 with a witness of DMZSQL03.
The mirroring as all gone according to plan.
Set up all the users/databases on the Mirror (DMZSQL02) and then do a back-up/restore to sync the databases and then enable the mirroring, this has all gone fine and we have lots of synchronised/mirrored databases now. However, if I do a failover the logins on the mirror are not valid, they are in SQL Server and also the database but they don€™t work. I€™ve read through other posts and found links to this SQL Server article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918992/
This has had no effect though. Do I need to remove everything off my mirror and start again setting up the users first and then doing a backup/restore or is there some other way. Both servers are reporting the SID€™s are the same for the logins which do not work. However the principle_ID is different, I'm quite sure if this is a problem or not??
Can anyone point me in the right direction of what to do next? Or have any ideas.
Thanks

Orphaned/Hung User Process
Jul 21, 2000Hi,
Looking through the archives, I didn't see any articles that specifically addressed the problem, so here it is:
SQL 7.0, NT4SP6, 2G ram, 4x
I've got a user process as follows:
Status: ROLLBACK
Command: SELECT
Application: Enterprise Manager
Wait Type: EXCHANGE
Login time: 06/25/00 4:07:05AM
Last batch: 06/25/00 4:07:20 AM
The last TSQL command batch is a correlated subquery with grouping...
Apparently it hung and the user quit ungracefully.
No other processes are blocking it, but periodically it blocks other processes, including some index maintenance I need to perform.
I have tried to kill it with Enterprise Manager and with the KILL [id] command. Neither have worked.
Mgmt is reluctant to bounce the database, as am I.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Orphaned User Accounts When Restoring
Dec 29, 1999I am copying a database to an alternate server by restoring a full backup onto the new server. However, whether I create the logins prior to the restoration or not the user accounts in the database no longer map to logins in the master.
Unfortunately it is not simply a case of dropping the acounts as they own objects in the database.
My best solution to date has been to use the sp_addalias to alias logins of the same name to the original user. However this is a far from ideal situation as one cannot readily tell that the logins are aliased and there must be an additional overhead in doing this.
Replication - Orphaned Distribution Agent
Dec 9, 2002I seem to have an orphaned Distribution Agent. There is no associated Publication and the agent is sending errors. The errors would be legitimate if only I had an associated publication. I also do not have an associated Snapshot Agent.
How can I get rid of this bogus agent? I already deleted the associated job and rebooted SQL and SQLAgent but it still persists.
Any help would be appreciated.

SQL 2012 :: Cannot Drop Orphaned Account
Dec 30, 2014All is happened when a server crashed some weeks ago and it was removed from my network. After that, under my SQL Server 2012 I get an orphaned account which cannot be removed. This account is a computer account related to an old SCOM installation.
If I try to execute the command DROP USER [NETWORKSERVERNAME$] I get the following error message:
The database principal has granted or denied permissions to objects in the database and cannot be dropped. Msg 15284, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The database principal has granted or denied permissions to objects in the database and cannot be dropped.But if I run the following command to know all permission granted to the account, I get an empty result:
select * from sys.database_permissions where grantee_principal_id = user_id ('NetworkSERVERNAME$');
Furthermore, following the instructions provided by the official KB for troubleshooting orphaned users, I get another error [URL].
sp_change_users_login 'update_one', 'NetworkSERVERNAME$', 'NetworkSERVERNAME$'
Msg 15291, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_change_users_login, Line 114
Terminating this procedure. The User name 'NetworkSERVERNAME$' is absent or invalid.
The only thing I can retrieve is 15 permissions that this account granted to another account in the past:
select *
from sys.database_permissions
where grantor_principal_id = user_id ('NetworkSERVERNAME$'
--
class class_desc major_id minor_id grantee_principal_id grantor_principal_id type permission_name state state_desc
17 SERVICE 65538 0 5 19 SN SEND G GRANT
And more 14 rows…
resolve my issue and safe delete the account SERVERNAME$? I need this because I have to reinstall SCOM with the same computer name on another server, but installation fails due to this behavior.
Deleting Orphaned Data - Maintenance
Dec 10, 2007Hi,
I really don't know how frowned upon my approach is here, but it was the only way I have been able I've been able to do it.
On my application, when users delete their account, it sometimes brings the db server to a COMPLETE crawl. The reason is some users who delete have many years of related data, and when the data deletes with them, its very slow.
To avoid this I've taken off many contstraints, and I do have some sprocs that deleted orphaned data at night.
thoughts on this approach ?
XML Services And SQL Server Orphaned Processes
May 1, 2007Hi
Wanting to know how do you detect and kill orphaned spid in SQL Server left behind by an XML service which was not completed normally. The client requests an XML service which open a connection, and due to network problem the client did not manage to call the another service which suppose to end the connection. Thus leaving behind in SQL Server orphaned spid which continue to hold locks. This created problem when the next user wants to access the resource.
The simplest way is to get all spid which are holding locks for more than a certan period and kill them. Is there a better way to actually detect orphaned spid?
Help much appreciated.

Is There A Hack That Would Allow You To Reuse Identity Numbers That Were Orphaned By Deleted Records?
Aug 24, 2006I guess this is a fairly common topic but couldn't find the right words to find anything in a search.
What I'm getting at, is there any tsql functions or combination of commands for the following.
You have identity columns in your tables, if you set the a seed and autoincrement, I enter in rows 1 -10 and then I delete 4, 6, 7, 8.
My next new record uses 11. Is there any logic that allows you to check and reuse 4, 6, 7 & 8 described above? Not looking for something that consists of having to create an extra ID table for each table and handle configuring what the next available number is everytime an Insert or delete is called.
Thanks.
Reporting Services :: Parsing SSRS Config File And Dynamically Changing File Path Of Config File In Code
Sep 2, 2015Currently have a single hard coded file path to the SSRS config file which parses the file and provides the reporting services web service url. Â My question is how would i run this same query against 100s of servers that may or may not share the same file path as the one hard coded ?
Is there a way to query the registry to find the location of the config file of any server ? which could be on D, E, F, H, etc.Â
I know I can string together the address followed by "reports" and named instance if needed, but some instances may not have used the default virtual directory name (Reports).
Am I going about this the hard way ? Is there a location where the web service url exists in a table ? I could not locate anything in the Reporting service database. Basically need to inventory all of my reporting services url's.

Maintenance Commands Affect On Log File / Log File Maintenance Without Log File Backups?
Jun 18, 2015I am testing some maintenance tasks sql commands such as index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check on a SQL Server 2014 Database. This is a new non-production vendor database (DB Size 500 GBs, Log Size 25 GBs) which eventually will be created in production. Currently, it is in full recovery model and without log backups. The database has a whole lot of indexes. I am just trying to rebuild and reorganize all the indexes (that need it), in addition to trying to get an idea of how long these maintenance task will take and the space needed in the log file to complete these tasks/commands. I would like to execute these tasks manually (the first time) to gather the duration and space required information. Eventually, I would probably schedule a weekly job to perform this maintenance.
I ran the index rebuild task on the database and noticed that the log file grew by over 50 GBs. I killed the process and truncated and shrunk the log file back down.
1. Does the index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check commands all use the log file?
2. Does Indexs Reorg have less impact on log file then Index Rebuild?
3. Should a truncate log and shrink log file be performed after these maintenance commands?
4. Should a full database backup be performed after these maintenance commands? Or before the maintenance commands?
I have read and understand that shrinking is not good for the database (could lead to more fragmentation and more data file growth when data is added) and I know about rebuilding indexes when fragmentation is GT 30% and reorganizing indexes when fragmentation is GT 5% and LE 30%.
Since this is a non-production database maybe I should set the recovery model to simple, run the maintenance commands and leave the database in simple recovery model unless the vendor needs it in full recovery model for some unknown reason.
5. With the simple recovery model the log file should be reused in a circular manner and not grow during these maintenance tasks. Is this correct?
