Database Design Where Some Products Are T-shirts With Different Sizes
Feb 27, 2007Hello,
I'm wondering what would be the best approach to designing a database that will have different products one of them being T-Shirts of different sizes... for example 1 t-shirt design might only have 2 available sizes while another may have 4. I'm kinda stumped on how to approach this cuz there is multiple products like CD's, DVD's, Magazines etc which is pretty straight forward, but the T-shirts have this "variable" to it.
What i'm really wondering is should i have 1 main "Products" Table or should i have a separate table for the t-shirts? Should there be a column for each available size?
Currently my database has a "products table" that has foreign keys to "Product Type", "Artists", "Genre"
The database is basically for a record company
If anyone has designed a database similar to this i'd love any insight or even possibly to see a database diagram
Thanks
Setup And Upgrade :: Activity Monitor Shuts Down If Connect To Instance Its Monitoring With Performance Monitor
Aug 19, 2015If I'm on a remote machine, meaning a computer not in the WSFC cluster, and I open SSMS 2014, point it to a SQL Instance, and open activity monitor:
1. I get all the panes and charts except % Processor Time.
2. Then, if I authenticate to the cluster's domain by mapping a drive with valid domain credentials, I'm free to put performance counters in the Perfmon - - - but SQL Activity Monitor shuts down with“The Activity Monitor is unable to execute queries against server SQL-V01INSTANCE1..Activity monitor for this instance will be placed into a paused state.Use the context menu in the overview pane to resume the activity monitor.
Additional information: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))(Mscorlib)”
3. Of course, the Activity monitor can't be resumed via the context menu. Removing counters and closing the perfmon do not work. I dropped the mapped drive and rebooted the machine. That brought back 95% of the information in the Activity monitor.
4. Further experimentation showed that any mapping of drive shares present on the SQL Server to the computer running SSMS cut off functionality of the 'overview' pane in the remote machine's SQL Activity monitor -- the monitor that had been trying to watch the server offering the shares.
Database Availability Issue
Oct 24, 2007I have a large db that goes through regular maintenance
every week. The problem seems to be that while the db is re-indexing some of my
key tables I get time out errors. Are there any suggestions on how I can combat
this problem. Management has tasked me
with having 24 hour access to the db because if people aren’t completing there
transactions we don’t get paid. I have
also noticed the timeout issue when we are running in files that create new
records. Is this a basic problem with
the way the db is structured? Are they
any tools that I can use to change our process so that we can maintain the 24
hour access to the db. How are other
companies maintaining 24 hour access to there db?
Thanks in advance.

Database Mirroring Monitor Not Working For One Database
Apr 2, 2008I set up a new mirror server. Everything is good except that the Database Mirroring Monitor is not working for one of the databases. In the monitor the principal data is showing up as blank
If I look at dbm_monitor_data on the principal most of the data columns (e.g. Send_queue_size) are null where as they have data for the other databases.
Both servers are SQL Server 9.0.2047 Enterprise Edition.
Any idea what might be going on here?
Thanks in advance.

Database Design-room Availability
Jan 24, 2008Hi,
I am developing a .Net application for a Guest house for my final year project. I'm using C# and SQL Server. I want a way to look up if a room is available or not on a particular date.
First I came up with...
Room: Room_id(PK), Room_type, Room_rate_pp, Room_availability
but how can I distinguish whether a room is available on a particular date? I think Room_availability is useless in this table because it can't do this. Do I need some sort of calendar table or something?
Your help with this would be greatly appreciated. it's annoying me so much, and I can't move on with the project until I have my database finalised :eek:
Thanks,
Sean
SQL 2012 :: Database Can't Be In Two Availability Groups
Jun 30, 2014I been trying to learn availability groups since I have not implemented it.
From my understanding you can have more than one group.
Lets pretend we have two groups in one instance:
1. Accounting
2. Engineering
From my understanding you can't make a database in two AG because it wouldn't make sense.
But lets pretending there is one database that both are used by accounting and engineering.
Would you have to make a third AG for future fail overs so that other databases in the other two group don't failover when not needed because when you fail over an AG all the databases inside it fail over.
Index Management And Database Availability
May 23, 2008Hello
I'm working on an application which is mainly used to look up compressors and their data which are held in documents.
This is a simplified representation of the tables of importance:
Document
--------
Id (int, identity) (PK)
Number (nvarchar(50))
Compressor
----------
DocumentId (int) (PK, FK)
Id (int, identity) (PK)
Name (nvarchar(50))
CompressorData
--------------
CompressorId (int) (PK, FK))
Id (int, identity) (PK)
Value (nvarchar(50))
The tables are linked as follows:
Document -> Compressor -> CompressorData
Non clustered indexes are created on Document.Number and Compresor.Name because these fields are used for querying.
At certain points corrections will be released on compressors which
will result in:
- Creating new documents with new document numbers (note that a non clusterd index exists on Document.Number).
- Copying affected compressors of existing documents into the new documents (note that a non clusterd index exists on Compressor.Name).
- Copying the data of the affected compressors into the new documents.
This can result in creating ten's of new documents and copying hundreds compressors and thousands compressor data records.
My question:
Will the users still be able to query for compressors while corrections are released (thinking about indexes which need to be modified) or will their be so many locks held that the database becomes unusable?
Thanks in advance,
Alain
Recovery :: Add Database Into Availability Group?

Looking For SQL To Monitor Database Size
Jan 21, 2002Hello all!
I am looking for a way to monitor the space remaining inside of a database and to receive an e-mail alert when that space gets below a certain threshold.
What I want to do is schedule a job to run every hour or so and check to see if available space in my databases is below about 300 megs. If it is I would then like to be sent an e-mail to my cell phone. I have jobs like this already running on my Oracle databases but am not sure of which tables to query for this in the SQL Server environment.
Does anyone know which table(s) would need to be queried to retrieve this info or, better yet, have a script which already written?
Thanks in Advance!

Sql Scripts To Monitor Another SQL Database.
Jul 20, 2005Greetings All, I was hoping that some of you might be aware of anyfree scripts that were written explicitly for the purpose ofmonitoring a SQL Server database. I want to be able to determineup/down events, Error Log updates, Long running Transactions,Deadlocks, etc. My plan is to use a central SQL Server database as arepository that will query (via t-sql) the target SQL Server boxes forthe events listed above. If one of the events falls outside of adefined range I will use xp_sendmail to alert me via my pager. I havebeen looking at third party tools like BMC Patrol, Quest Foglight, andEmbarcadero Performance Center and although they are very nice theyare also very EXPENSIVE. I am looing for a cheap solution. Any helpwould be greatly appreciated.Louis

Jun 15, 2006Hi there!
I've some trouble with monitoring a database mirroring session. I am testing a lot configuration possiblities, and i use the database mirroring monitor to view the mirroring states.
But in some (most) of my configurations, i only get following informations in the database mirroring monitor:
Oldest unsend transaction, Unrestored Log, Current Restore rate and the Witness Adress. I am working in High safety mode with automatic failover.
Question 1: What are the reasons that all the other indicators (Unsend log, Current send rate, Mirror commit overhead) are not shown?
Question 2: In the moment, i am using certificates for the mirroring communication. I think, my client (who the database mirroring monitor is running) connects with the usual windows authentication to the server and only selects from sys.database_mirroring or something else. So there is no need to create inbound certificates on the partners for the client who is connecting with the mirroring monitor?

SQL 2012 :: Reestablish One Database In Availability Group
Jul 29, 2014I've got an availability group with multiple databases, replicating to multiple secondary servers. On one of the secondary servers, some of the databases are not synchronising, and when we try re-establish the sync we get an LSN error. I can't see any obvious way to re-establish only one database on one secondary without affecting all databases on that secondary or affecting that database on all secondary nodes.
The options I seem to have are to either remove the database and then re-add it, in which case this affects all secondary replicas, or to remove the secondary replica and add it, in which case all the DBs are added.
SQL 2012 :: AlwaysOn Availability Group Per Database
Jun 26, 2015We are planning to upgrade our production servers from mirroring to alwayson. Our current mirror setup gives the advantage that it can failover a single database.To have a similar setup in alwayson we are probably going to create an availability group per database. Any other disadvantage in this except for the extra initial configuration work?

May 19, 2015Discovered that a geo-spatial AlwaysOn HA database (1 of 4) was not synchronizing as at a point in time earlier in the day. Suspend Data Movement appears to be working perpetually without finishing. The SQL Server services is in a Pending Changes state after an attempt to restart it from SQL Configuration Manager. The Cluster Dashboard says it is in a Not Synchronizing state, with only the one database in question having a yellow triangle, all 3 others show green.
The warning for the cluster is:At least one availability database on this availability replica has an unhealthy data synchronization state. If this is an asynchronous-commit availability replica, all availability databases should be in the SYNCHRONIZING state. If this is a synchronous-commit availability replica, all availability databases should be in the SYNCHRONIZED state. There is no abnormal data movement from the primary to the seconday.The warnings for the unhealthy database are:
The data synchronization state of this availability database is unhealthy. On an asynchronous-commit availability replica, every availability database should be in the SYNCHRONIZING state.

Launch Database Mirroring Monitor Is Not An Option
May 16, 2006Good morning all...
I would like use the "Database Mirroring Monitor" to track what's going on.
All three of my servers have SQL Server 2005 x64 edition installed with SP1.
Server A is mirroring to Server C
Server B is mirroring to Server C
Following the instructions at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365786(d=ide).aspx:
On Server A and C, "Launch Database Mirroring Monitor" appears.
On Server B, "Launch Database Mirroring Monitor" does NOT appear.
Is there something I have to do to get this tool installed on the machine, or it is an automatic thing?
Thanks!

Recovery :: SharePoint Database Run Out Space In AlwaysOn Availability Group
Jul 11, 2014I have a situation where I have two servers in SQL Server 2012 R2 AlwaysOn Availability Group. One is primary and the other one being secondary. I am only running SharePoint Database on it.I have run out of space on the primary server and about to run out of space at the secondary server. I have tried shrinking database transaction log files, but it returns an error that it cannot be shrunk as the database is in the AlwaysOn Availability Group.
Questions:
1. Several forums suggest that databases need to taken out of AlwaysOn Availability Group in order for the shrinking to work properply?
2. Would it have any impact on the database if it is taken out of availability group and then added back?

I've looked at the sys.fn_hadr_backup_is_preferred_replica funcation, but would like to only have to test for a single databases existance in the availability group. If the one database is in the group, only backup the system databases and those that don't participate, otherwise backup everydatabase. This would be the case for both full backups and transaction logs.
