My Sql server went down last night. Is there a way to find out what could have caused system to crash?
Is there any way to notify the DBA when sql services have stopped running?
Recently my computer had a crash on which SQL Server was installed. And if that wasn't enough, the backup failed to. Now I've installed SQL Server again, but I have these *.mdf and *.ldf files, which contains my data and my tables etc. So my question is, how do I get this data into my newly installed SQL Server? Maybe it's quite simple, but I can't find it. Im using SQL Server Enterprise version 7.0 on Win2k Advanced Server.
Hi, My sql server stopped unexpectedly and restarted itself today, and I have no clue why. The NT Event Viewer provides this "insight":
The MSSQLService terminated unexpectedly.
The event id is 17052, which isn't documented in BOL. Does anyone have any explanation, and some suggestions on how to avoid this in the future? thanks, Jason
I got the following message in the error log when SQL Server 6.5 crashed. ''Stored function 'xp_runwebtask' in the library 'xpsqlweb.dll' generated access violation; SQL Server is terminating process 60'' Source:spid 60 Anyone know what this means ? If you think you know of have come across it before, please inform me.
I need help. I am facing following problems since days here you have the errors messages:

I also see the one below prior to another crash....going through tech net now...but not seeing anything that reflects the messages below. The results from searching on "Exception_Access_Violation" I'm not sure apply in my case...also looks like I have at least two causes of crashes (how can one interpret the below statements???)

This proceeds my 'crashes', which it looks scary enough to do the trick!
Any idea what could be causing this exception?
Thanks, John
ps. someone else mentioned backup software - we use BackupExec and I have a sched. task that dumps one of the databases to a network drive 2x day. But these are running throughout the week...looking over the logs I really don't see a correlation...(ie. these same processes run on days that no crash occurs and successfully later in the day that the crashes do occur (some hours earlier).

Did you check the SQL Server errorlog (sometimes things are written here that don't go to the event viewer) and the NT event viewer (application and system)?
You could try turning on SQL Trace to see if you can capture a "bad" query but depending on how SQL goes down it may not be captured.
If you are auditing successful logons you could take a look to see if there is any pattern in who logs in just before SQL restarts.
Any chance someone is actually stopping it on purpose? Or maybe a program that is stopping it (maybe a backup system trying to backup the device files instead of the dumps)?

Hi, What is the simplest way to crash a sql server? Somebody asked me that question, and I was unable to give the best answer. Please help me to find it. Thanks!! Joydeep
Hi all, I was wondering if you's could help me out. We run sql optimization on 2 of our databases and when they run they cause our server to crash - system log reports: unexpected shutdown. When we take these jobs out of action the server does not crash.
I'm not sure if this could be a CPU or memory related issue or if its a SQL configuration issue?
Hi All,Our SQL Server just crashed with the following messages:The Scheduler 5 appears to be hung. SPID 85, ECID 0, UMS Context 0x06C22478.Error: 17883, Severity: 1, State: 0We are running SP3 on cluster on a SAN.Any ideas?ThanksMichael
I have an intranet environment consists of two servers:
- An application server windows 2003 server with 64-bit server Sharepoint 2007 SP1 (Standard version for search) - A database server windows 2003 server with 64-bit SQL Server 2005 SP2 64-bit (Standard - 9.0.3054)
It happens regularly that the database server crash (frozen black screen) while the application server indexes (crawl) the content of the intranet site based on sharepoint. There is no alert / error in the observer of events, nor in the sql logs.
The crash is uncertain: dice once all goes well, soon after that crash. When i set the parameter search service (service management research), I can define a regulatory impact of the robot to change the number of documents at the same time : "Request 2 documents at the same time, the crash is more rare, "ask 64 documents at a time, the crash is more common.
My Intranet under sharepoint is composed of a collection site with a dozen sub-sites. There are 3 large library of PDF document. All done in the 4 go in terms of volume.
My problem for about 3-4 months. (Maybe more. Before, indexing was not yet in place).
This is a new problem to me, I have been running SQL Server 2000 with VS 2003 and last summer upgraded to SQL Server 2005 with VS 2005 - (both evaluation copies) all was fine I bought the full upgrade of VS 2005 and SQL server dev edition in Dec 2006 and recently I have started to get a total system fallover dreadful noise followed by black screen and reboot. This happens only when I view the Table Data "Show Table Data" in "Server Explorer" in VS2005, viewing design is OK, stored prcredures OK I suspect this is either a hardware impending failure or software conflict but I would like some pointers please I am using XP Pro sp2 with 1GB ram, F Secure Internet security, the Database is hosted externaly
NT server 4.0 crahsed. And there was no emergency repair disk. So, I copied all MS SQL server7.0 data files. After that i created new partition, formatted and installed Nt Server and SQL server 7.0. But how can i restore my old data? Please tell me what to do now?
I installed Sql Server 2000 on a Windows 2003 machine and everythingappeared to be fine. It has Sql Server SP4 and Windows 2003 SP1 installed.The problem occurs whenever I use Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer formore than a few minutes. After a while, all internet connectivity on theserver machine is broken. I cannot connect to it through Enterprise Manager,and on the machine itself, nothing related to the internet works at all.There are no errors in the Windows log or the Sql log. Disabling andenabling the Ethernet adapter fixes connectivity, until the next time I useEnterprise Manager for a while. What is going on?The machine is a Dell PowerEdge SC420 with a BroadCom NetXtreme Gigabitadapter and Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition.
Hi everybody !Iīm maintaining a large intranet (approx 10000 concurrent users) running onone IIS box and one DB box with sqlserver 2000.Currently there is 2,5 GB Ram, 1 1400 mhz cpu and 2 scsi disks installed onthe db box.Sqlserver is set to use max 1,4 GB RAM, and the sqlserver does not seem tobe using it all.Currently SQLSERVER 2000 crashes at least once a day.Its very weird, I run performance monitor with counters on, memory, diskusage, num users, locks and such.There is no indications in the counters before the crashes, they just happenvery sudden.Only indication is that sqlserver makes some huge jumps in memory usage andmostly the sqlserver then crashes an hour or 2 later.The only thing that peaks a lot are the locks/sec counter.My analysis of disk usage, queues etc. tells me i got no kind of i/obottlenecks.Can anybody give me a clue as to what i should do ?Best regards, Thue
I had only 40 mb of disk space in the c drive. could that be the reason. if so, how can I turn on the server and get into win NT and make the server up and running. I hope someone can reply as soon as possible
I'm having trouble with CLR based user-defined functions.
When I create a database C# project in Visual Studio 2005, the dialog to pick the database connection doesn't apprear. Except for that, the project seems to be created normally. I am able to write and build my project without a problem.
When I try to release, it says that the connection isn't defined. I do a Project ==> <projname> and then select the database tab on the side. I am unable to type in a connection string because it's grayed out. When I hit the browse button. Visual Studio crashes.
I have one thrid-party Visual Studio installed, Sybase PowerDesigner. I also have the SQL Server 2000 and 2005 client tools installed.
I tried uninstalling the PowerDesigner module. I tried reinstalling and repairing the SQL Server client tools and Visual Studio 2005. I tried uninstalling SQL Server 2000 and 2005 client tools and then intalling Visual Studio 2005 fresh.
Nothing seemed to fix the problem.
Has anybody seen this before? Any ideas on how to fix this? I found a work around to install the dll from SQL Server, but I would really like to deploy from Visual Studio.
When running a linked server to Oracle using the MSDAORA driver using in-process option checked, I'm getting the following error:
"A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)"
This then causes the instance to crash.
In the Event Log, it shows:
SQL Server is terminating because of fatal exception c0000005. This error may be caused by an unhandled Win32 or C++ exception, or by an access violation encountered during exception handling. Check the SQL error log for any related stack dumps or messages. This exception forces SQL Server to shutdown. To recover from this error, restart the server (unless SQLAgent is configured to auto restart).
When using the out-of-process, it shows the column names in the query results window, but doesn't show any data then immediately in the message window it shows:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
The OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "smtest" reported an error. Access denied.
Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 2
Cannot get the column information from OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "smtest".
We're using:
SQL Server 2005 SP1 with hot fixes (9.0.2153) 32-bit on 64-bit o/s Windows 2003 R2 Standard x64 Edition Sevice Pack 1
We use lots of linked servers to Oracle on other servers, and can't find anything different on this one.
I have been having issues with our SQL server for awhile now. It seems to run out of memory every few days and when I look at the memory dump, the MEMORYCLERK_SQLOPTIMIZER seem to take over memory and eventually cause the server to crash.
Here is the SQL verison we are using: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3460.0 (X64) Jul 22 2014 15:22:00 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.2 (Build 9200: ) (Hypervisor)..It is on a VM on Windows 2012 server. It has 20gb of RAM allocated to it and the MAX Server Memory is set to 16.5gb.
I have seen the MEMORYCLERK_SQLOPTIMIZER grow to about 11gb at the time of the server crash. Why that is happening? What is causing the memoryclerk_sqloptimizer to get so high? I have looked it up and it looks like it has to do with ad hoc requests, but is there something I can do to bring that memory down when it gets so high so that I can prevent a server crash?Do we just need to add more memory or is there a memory leak somewhere?
Hi my name is Rodrigo and Im from Brasil, so, sorry about my english.
I have a problem using MSSQL 2000. Iīm using a client/server application, and sometimes (almost every day) the sql server start to use 100% of CPU and crash the system. I donīt know how and when but it hapens always. I never found a reason for it, but looking at the event viewer in windows 2000 i saw an error about www publishing (something like that). Maybe my sqlserver is trying to connect to internet to do something (i donīt know). Please if somebody can help me send me a mail. Thanks a lot.

Greetings,I had a hard-drive failure this week and lost my root drive, withoperating system and SQL Server 2000.Fortunately my data was on another volume and still exists.I know about sp_attach_db, but looking at BOL, it says that sp_attach_dbonly works with databases that were previously detached withsp_detach_db.How do I reattach my existing mdf and ldf files?-- RickP.S. I know that the dbs are not corrupt because when the hard drivefailed SQL Server was offline.
Hidue to big problems (basically since a couple of month iis service crashseveral times a day) i need to format a web server (win2k, sp4, iis5.0)where all our sites are hosted .To avoid downtime i would like to transfer them all on the new server.Do i have to recreate every single web (with a lot of virtual folders ) orthere is an automatic (semiautomatic) way to migrate them all?Many thanks in advanceMarco
Hi all, I have some trouble with SQLAgent...when I try to schedule a jobthat invokes a script (vbs, java, cmdshell,...), SQLAgent crashes at themoment of scheduled execution. If I try to execute it manually, all worksfine. This installation runs on a cluster Win2003 and the node initiate afailover if I don't delete the job and then restart Agent (I can't start theservice before deleting that job!!!). Event viewer logs something like:"LOG] Exception 5 caught at line 191 of file ..src efreshr.c.SQLServerAgent initiating self-termination".I've already tried to debug the service but my dump did not help me.Any suggestion?Thankscamau
From time to time, our production system crashes and reboots while running some data warehouse load packages. There is nothing in the logs; it just seems like the reset button is pushed. The situation occurs at different moments in the batch and not every night, but lets says once every two weeks or more frequent.
We are running Windows 2003 server and SQL Server 2005 SP1 incl. hotfixes.
Does anyone of you have this issue, or is this a hardware issue without any doubt? Could there be any chance it's in the SQL Server software?
Hi, i am not familiar with MSSQL so maybe it's not as difficult to you as it is to me - in brief:
SQL version: Microsoft SQL Server 7.00 - 7.00.699 (Intel X86)
Errorlog shows: Starting up database 'CH2'. Opening file E:CH2DATA1CH2DATA1.mdf. Opening file E:CH2DATA2CH2DATA2.ndf. Opening file E:CH2DATA3CH2DATA3.ndf. File D:CH2LOG1CH2LOG1.ldf does not exist - unable to activate.
Enterprise Manager Shows database CH2 (suspect)
Executing script: sp_add_log_file_recover_suspect_db CH2, CH2LOG1, 'D:CH2LOG1CH2LOG1.ldf', 1000 Shows errormessage "The database 'CH2' does not exist."
How can i get a new logfile? What if i created a new db 'CH2' and then replaced the data files? What do i have to tell MSSQL to create a new logfile on startup? All scenarios shown in Books On Line only seem to solve problems if you do have a logfile and need more space.
I am not sure if this is the right forum, but a sql crash might cause data corruption ?!
Anyway I have tried this on 2 different sql2005 sp1 installations. (Developer Edition) And in both cases the last piece of code causes the sql server to stop cold (crash).
