Hello:
In order to eliminate all users who have been using the SA login, I would like to trap all users periodically who are logged in. We have changed the
sa password but just to monitor the login/userid usage, I have the following question:
1) how can I periodically write out to a log, which users are logged in to a given database at certain times of the day?
2) Which steps would I follow to do so?
Thanks.

I have a folder on an SFTP server in our internal network which gets flat files periodically (almost every minute) from another server. The file structure is like this:
Flat File Format•Line 1—List of field names comma separated •Line 2—List of field type comma separated •Line 3—Data comma separated •Line 4—Data comma separated and so on...
All the files will be like this without the .csv extention. There are a lot of fields and creating a column for each field manually will be a pain. Heres what I am trying to do:
1. Create a process that runs periodically on the server and imports data from files into the SQL server table.
2. Use the information in line 1 and 2 to create the schema of the table and then ignore those lines in every import (the data should be appended to the existing data).
What are my options?
Thank you all,Bullpit
Hi,
I have my SQL server installed and running on a windows 2003 server. Sometimes, the server stops unexpectedly. I want to know if there is any mechanism to alert as and when the SQL server or SQL server agent goes down.
I guess everything is a windows service. Can we have a mechanism to test this service from a script and send an alert mail when the server goes down? How can this be done from a script?
Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, here is my situation and what I am hoping to accomplish.
I want some data from my msSQL to be seen on my website but I do not want a website to access the msSQL database due to performance etc (the database is not intended for website use).
Innitially I was thinking of exporting the data every 24hours to a text file that the website would access, but now I am thinking it would be better to have some data sent to a mySQL database that I have from my webhost.
I am not really sure what the best way to do this is, any help please?
thank a lot
Hi,I have a requirement to update a table in SQL Server through a storedprocedure,the stored procedure should run periodically, say once in a month, andupdate the table.I should not use any external programs to call thestored procedure, is there any other way to do it without using anexternal programs.Thanks in advance,Rajan

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a job that runs nightly, rebuild index. job runs fine every night but every few weeks it fails.
USE msdb
GO
EXECUTE dbo.IndexOptimize
@Databases = 'USER_DATABASES',
@FragmentationLow = NULL,
@FragmentationMedium = 'INDEX_REORGANIZE,INDEX_REBUILD_ONLINE,INDEX_REBUILD_OFFLINE',
@FragmentationHigh = 'INDEX_REBUILD_ONLINE,INDEX_REBUILD_OFFLINE',
@FragmentationLevel1 = 5,
@FragmentationLevel2 = 30,
@SortInTempdb = 'Y',
@UpdateStatistics = 'ALL',
@OnlyModifiedStatistics = 'Y'
This calls the Sp that does the Reindex. It fails at the update statistics with a very generic message. like " Command: UPDATE STATISTICS [xxxx_DB].[dbo].[xxxx_xxx] [_WA_Sys_00000007_49C3F6B7] [SQ... The step failed."
I suspect it has more error but this is all it is showing me when I right click on the job history. therefore, I updated the job step in the advance tab with log to a txt file. Am I on the right track or there is another way to see error some where else.
I looked at the logs but they didn't show any thing.
I have a table that has a primary key that is auto incremented by 1. This table's data is cleared out periodically and as data gets added the auto id primary key continues to increase in numeric value. Once the data is cleared from the table the auto id names could be used again(the eventId is not stored) Currently the eventID is at 26,581,399. I know the maximum int value is 2,147,483,647.
How should I handle this? or rebuild the table every time the data is cleared(problematically)?
for some filegroups, we are turning readwrite back on periodically to trickle some data into an archive. This lasts a few seconds and then we turn readonly back on. What is the impact of doing this while a query is running on the archive?

We've asked that they migrate the DTS code completely to SSIS, but that is something that will not be done in the near future. The package is scheduled to run every 5 minutes through a SQL Server scheduled job. 95% of the time the package executes without an error, but occassionally the following error is reported.

Any ideas what this exit code is indicating or how to further troubleshoot the problem?

We are running a SQL Server 2008R2 64-bit database system on a Windows 2012 R2 64-bit Standard system. I have noticed in recent weeks that our differential backups periodically are taking longer than expected to complete. The usual amount of time is about one hour, but on several occasions, it has taken upwards to five hours. The nights when the job takes longer to complete are on Friday.
I did some checking online, and one possible reason for this issue is my scheduling the reindexing of the database on the morning of the Differential backup. For example, this past Friday the reindexing occurred at 1:00 AM with the Differential running at 10:00 PM that night.The article that I read suggested the reindexing, which takes several minutes, if that, to complete, should be scheduled to run just before the Full backup job.
How does SQL SErver detect that a non logged operation has occured? The syslogs table does not give any indication of this.
Thanks
Hi,
I am new to SQL Server 2000, and would like to know how you can determine who is currently logged into the system on a specific PC. I was told there is a command that starts with "Sys", but they didn't know the specific command.
Also, how would I re-log in as a different user (to test the rights that were set per user). Thanks for the help in advance.
Error 18456 will not write to the NT Event Log. I have made sure that it is set up to always write to the Windows NT Event log, but when the error occurs there is not entry in the log.
Other errors log just fine, but this one does not.
Has anyone had this problem?
TIA

On SQL 2k, How can I set my DTS package, which imports a 3 million row .TXT file to a table, as a NON-LOGGED operation?
(LOGGING is taking tooooo long!! I will be sure to run a full DB backup when the job completes.)

I've noticed a huge transaction log size after having run an
index defragmentation. Does a defrag get written to the transaction
log really? (Assuming the full recovery model.)
I have a database in Simple mode from which I wish to delete several million rows of one table (not all rows so 'TRUNCATE TABLE' is no good), without making the transaction log file grow to several GB in size. Any ideas??? I'm almost at the point where I might create a new table and copy the records I want to keep instead...
Thanks, Simon.
Hi,
I have searched google and have found no real answer to this....
We are creating a database to support an application which is loading in data as part of the cutover from their current db to SQL Server.
The datafile is around 56GB and when the data processing occurs, as its not just inserts, the transaction logs fills out to around 65GB, and probably more, just that we ran out of space. So question is, is there a workaround for stopping the logging of this processing at all. I have seen that bulk-logged mode may be used, but the option with TABLOCK must be used, and there is no way to get hands on code which performs this processing.
Is there a way to turn off transaction loggin at any point?
Thanks,
Jim

Will it have any bad affects on the SQL Server

I open up the SQL Server Agent Job window, and I can't see details under the General, Steps, Schedules, or other tabs unless I am running SSMS directly on that server. So much for remote management, eh?

I would like to select the 10 latest logged in users and then display them in a gridview-control....
But Iam not good at SQL, so I would really appreciate if someone could help me to write the select-part for this!!
(I use the database 'ASPNETDB.mdf', which is automatically created by VVD 2005 Express Edition)
NOTE: I am talking about roles in my sql server - NOT in asp.net. I need to create a stored procedure that retrieves the roles that the currently logged in sql user has for a different database. I have the code that gets the roles for the user, but it only works if the user is in the database. I want to be in one database, and get the roles for a different database. I have tried using USE DATABASE, but this is not allowed in a store procedure.

I sometimes have problems when running index rebuilds due to the tran log growing too big. MS suggest switching the db from full recovery mode to bulk-logged mode fur the duration of the rebuild. Question is, when you switch a db from full recovery to bulk logged, does that invalidate the tran log backups up to that point? When the db is switched back into full-recovery mode, are the following tran log backups still in sequence?
