Should I Add Lock Statements To My Database Write Querys

Jun 5, 2008

Hello,Could some clarify for me? I’ve been told that I should add  lock statements  to my database write querys (update, delete, insert). I’m not sure If it’s necessary though. The only documentation I’ve found so far is how to implement a lock statement with threading but I’m not using the threading namespace. What best practice and how would I implement this without threading or should I be using threading?Thanks in advance!

ERROR: A Variable May Only Be Added Once To Either The Read Lock List Or The Write Lock List.

May 22, 2006

Hi,
I have set of 2 DTS packages, one of which calls the other by forming a command-line (dtexec) using a Execute Process task.

From the parent package-> Execute Process Task->
dtsexec /F etc... /<pkg variable> = "servername"

Each of the parent and the called package have a variable: "User::DWServerSQLInstance" which is mapped to the SQL server connection manager server name property using an expression. The outer package has the above variable and so does the inner called package (which gets assigned through the command line from the outerpackage call to inner)

I "sometimes" get the following error:

OnError,I4,TESTDOMAdministrator,ACDWAggregation,{A1F8E43F-15F1-4685-8C18-6866AB31E62B},{77B2F3C7-6756-46EB-8C01-D880598FB4B3},5/22/2006 5:10:28 PM,5/22/2006 5:10:28 PM,-1073659822,0x,The variable "User::DWServerSQLInstance" is already on the read list. A variable may only be added once to either the read lock list or the write lock list.

Help would be appreciated!

I have seen other posts on this but, not able to relate the solution to my scenario.

A Variable May Only Be Added Once To Either The Read Lock List Or The Write Lock List

May 10, 2006

Hi All,



I have seen a few other people have this error.

Package works fine when run from BIDS, DTExec, dtexecui. When I schedule it, It get these random errors. (See below)

The main culprit is a variable called "RecordsetFileDIR" which is set using an expression. (@[User::_ROOT] + "RecordSets\")

A number of other variables use this as part of their expression and as they all fail, pretty much everything dies.

I have installed SP1 (Not Beta) on server. Package uses config files to set the value of _ROOT.



The error does not always seem to be with this particular variable though. Always a variable that uses an expression but errors are random. Also, It will run 3 out of 10 times without a problem. I am the only person on the server at the time.

Any ideas?



Cheers,

Crispin

We are not allowed to write delete statement in a function. It will give the below error.

"Invalid use of a side-effecting operator 'DELETE' within a function."

We will get the same error for truncate/drop statements.

What is the reason behind this error?

Error: A Deadlock Was Detected While Trying To Lock Variable X For Read Access. A Lock Could Not Be Acquired After 16 Attempts

Feb 2, 2007

I simply made my script task (or any other task) fail

In my package error handler i have a Exec SQL task - for Stored Proc

SP statement is set in following expression (works fine in design time):

"EXEC [dbo].[us_sp_Insert_STG_FEED_EVENT_LOG] @FEED_ID= " + (DT_WSTR,10) @[User::FEED_ID] + ", @FEED_EVENT_LOG_TYPE_ID = 3, @STARTED_ON = '"+(DT_WSTR,30)@[System::StartTime] +"', @ENDED_ON = NULL, @message = 'Package failed.

From progress:

Error: The Script returned a failure result.
Task SCR REIL Data failed

OnError - Task SQL Insert Error Msg
Error: A deadlock was detected while trying to lock variable "System::ErrorCode, System::ErrorDescription, System::ExecutionInstanceGUID, System::StartTime, User::FEED_ID, User::t_ProcessedFiles" for read access. A lock could not be acquired after 16 attempts and timed out.

SQL Security :: ALTER DATABASE Failed Because A Lock Could Not Be Placed On Database

Jul 20, 2015

I have a script that automates some db drop/restore operations and bringing the database to single user mode is part of it: ALTER DATABASE ... SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE...I want this to executes under a login, that has restricted privileges, so I've created a login and granted it a dbcreator role + ALTER ANY DATABASE privileges.

Problem: When I run the script against a database with an active/sleeping connection:It fails when using the restricted login: "Msg 5061...ALTER DATA BASE failed because a lock could not be placed on database ..."It completes successfully when using a sysadmin login According to stackoverflow.com the solution is to kill the active/sleeping connections to the database, before ALTER-ing it, which works fine, but the question is....

Questions: Why the "ALTER DATABASE..." statement works under the sysadmin login, but not under a dbcreator one?Does this mean the sysadmin login kills the connections to the target database in the background?Is it possible to grant additional privileges to the restricted login, so the "ALTER DATABASE..." statement won't need preventive killing of the connections?

All Or None Querys

Jul 24, 1999

I am querying my dBase "Reservations" to obtain a range of dates for
rooms in our hotel that are available for a vacationer to reserve...

this is the my present SQL structure (two tables(roomReserve & roomDescribe inner joined)
**********************
SELECT roomReserve.availibility, roomDescribe.numRooms

FROM roomDescribe INNER JOIN roomReserve ON roomDescribe.code = roomReserve.code

WHERE (((roomReserve.availibility) Between 8/20/99 And 8/23/99) AND ((roomDescribe.numRooms)>0));

****************************
The problem is that I do not want any room open dates (roomReserve.Availibility) to come up if any of the days in between the date range have 0 rooms available (in other words no room available on that date) (roomReserve.numRooms)>0

But they do because the query is not correctly written to be an all or none recordset for the date range time peroid…

For example, if I query for the date range of 8/20/99 to 8/23/99 using a criteria that the room must be available (>0), and let's say the date 8/21/99 has 0 rooms available for the King Fireplace room, then the query's results set gives me a list of the other 3 dates (8/20, 8/22, 8/23) for when the King Fireplace room is available...

I don't want anything thing for that date range to come out if any of the dates (within that range 8/20-8/23) have a room status = 0 during that time period...

I need a way to receive an all or none recordset result... with only one query statement…

I do not want to have to query a query… if that's at all possible…

thank you... chris james

How To Use Two Querys In One Result Set

May 14, 2008

select *

from OPS_TimeCards tc

join OPS_TimeCardHours tch on tch.TimeCardID = tc.TimeCardID

join OPS_Projects pj on pj.ProjectID = tch.ProjectID

where tch.TimeCardID = @TimeCardID

Union

select *

from OPS_TimeCards tc

join OPS_TimeCardExpenses tce on tce.TimeCardID = tc.TimeCardID

join OPS_Projects pj on pj.ProjectID = tce.ProjectID

where tce.TimeCardID = @TimeCardID


I have this query but when i try to use the UNION i get this error



Msg 205, Level 16, State 1, Procedure GetTimeCardSearchResults, Line 24

All queries combined using a UNION, INTERSECT or EXCEPT operator must have an equal number of expressions in their target lists.


I need to run both of these queries but have them return one result set....anyone know how to do???

Querys And Duplicated Fields

Oct 21, 2005

Hello,

I've got a trouble with my query and left outer joins. I've got 2 tables, table A and B, both have the same record called ID. I used this query:
SELECT *
FROM A LEFT OUTER JOIN B ON A.ID = B.ID

This is OK and works fine, my trouble comes when i have a duplicated ID on both A and B. Instead of return 2 fields, it returns me 4.

Is there some way to force SQl server to return only the first founded on B, but the 2 duplicated IDs on the A table?

Thanks for all.

2 Querys Not Returning The Same Data

Apr 17, 2008

I have two databases with table structures exactly the same. The query in one database works and returns correctly. The same query (copied and pasted) in another database returns the correct records but completely ignores the order by. Even stranger, when you are creating the query under modify and run it, it is fine. But when I right-click on the query and go to 'Open View' then the query does not return correctly. Below is the query:

SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT pf.description AS incentive, CAST(i.targetc AS FLOAT) AS targetc, i.targetp, b.basis, d.description, i.iSelect, i.direction, pf.pValue,
pf.pFigure
FROM dbo.PerfFactorWeights AS pfw INNER JOIN
dbo.PerfFactors AS pf ON pfw.incentiveID = pf.incentiveID INNER JOIN
dbo.Incentive AS i ON pfw.incentiveID = i.incentiveID AND pfw.basis = i.basisID INNER JOIN
dbo.Basis AS b ON i.basisID = b.basisID INNER JOIN
dbo.Division AS d ON pfw.division = d.uniqueID

Row Lock Versus Page Lock In SQL 2000.

Apr 7, 2004

Hi
We are facing an acute situation in our web-application. Technology is ASP.NEt/VB.NET, SQL Server 2000.

Consider a scenario in which User 1 is clicking on a button which calls a SQL stored procedure. This procedure selects Group A of records of Database Page1.

At the same time if User 2 also clicks the same button which calls same SQL stored procedure. This procedure selects Group B of records of Database Page1.

So, its the same Page1 but different sets of records. At this moment, both the calls have shared locked on the Page1 inside the procedure.

Now, in call 1, inside the procedure after selecting Group A of records, the next statement is and update to those records. As soon as update statement executes, SQL Server throws a deadlock exception as follows :

Transaction (Process ID 78) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction

We are able to understand why its happening. Its because, Group A and Group B of records are on the same Page1. But both the users have shared lock on the Page1. So, no one gets the exclusive lock in records for update, even though, the records are different.

How can I resolve this issue? How can I get lock on wanted rows instead of entire page?

Please advice. Thanks a bunch.

Right Code Statements Of SqlConnection &&amp; ConnectionString For Connecting A Database In Database Explorer Of VB 2005 Express?

Feb 14, 2008

Hi all,

In the VB 2005 Express, I can get the SqlConnection and ConnectionString of a Database "shcDB" in the Object Explorer of SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) by the following set of code:
///--CallshcSpAdoNetVB2005.vb--////

Imports System.Data.SqlTypes

Public Class Form1

Public Sub InsertNewFriend()

Dim connection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(connectionString)

Try

connection.Open()

Dim command As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("sp_insertNewRecord", connection)

command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
.......................................
etc.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
If the Database "shcDB" and the Stored Procedure "sp_inertNewRecord" are in the Database Explorer of VB 2005 Express, I plan to use "Data Source=local" in the following code statements to get the SqlConnection and ConnectionString:

Is the "Data Source=local" statement right for this case? If not, what is the right code statement for my case?

Please help and advise.

Database Level Lock

Aug 3, 2006

Hi,

How do I lock entire database? I want an exclusive lock on the db by
a user
who is the dbo of that database only (not sa
user).

The
scenario is we have a web application and each week we need to do data
uploads (with etl). During this upload, the users accessing the website
should not be able to read data. This is why I want database lock.

Now
the catch here is, the application access the data using user say abc.
Abc is dbo for that database and the etl is also done by abc login. So
will db locking help in this case as the website can also read the data
being a abc user?

Thanks,

Xp_cmdshell Command Causing Database To Lock-up

Nov 26, 2002

I am in the process of writing a stored procedure that takes data from a table, within a cursor, and puts that data to the network server via the xp_cmdshell procedure. The xp_cmdshell command is at the end of the cursor in the SP.

I have worked with the admins on getting the proper permissions to execute this procedure and have tested it by running the procedure directly in Query Analyzer and by calling it in Query Analyzer successfully.

However when I try to call this procedure from another programming envirnoment, once the xp_cmdshell process is called, the procedure locks up and blocks the rest of the process, including the other software programming environment. When I look at the error log, it indicates that correct command, as a matter of fact I have copied the log file command into Query Analyzer and ran the procedure successfully. So for some reason, the statement is not being committed or there is some kind of threading issue I do not know how to address.

If anyone out there has any suggestions or has a simular problem in the past and knows how to address it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Lock On Table While Inserting Data In Database

Jul 10, 2014

I have question on lock on table in SQL Server while inserting data using multiple processes at a single time into same table.Here are my questions on this,

1) Is it default behavior of SQL server to lock table while doing insert?
2) if yes to Q1, then how we can implicitly mention while inserting data.
3) If I have 4 tables and one table is having foreign keys from rest of the 3 tables, on this scenario do I need to use the table lock explicitly or without that I can insert records into those tables?

SQL Server 2008 :: SELECT On Column Name From Querys Resultset In Same Query?

May 9, 2015

I have a column colC in a table myTable that has a value (e.g. '0X'). The position of a non-zero character in column colC refers to the ordinal position of another column in the table myTable (in the aforementioned example, colB).To get a column name (i.e., colA or colB) from table myTable, I can join ("ON cte.pos = cn.ORDINAL_POSITION") to INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS for that table catalog, schema and name. But I want to show the value of what is in that column (e.g., 'ABC'), not just the name. Hoping for:

COLUMN_NAME Value

colB 123
colA XYZ

CREATE TABLE myTable (colA VARCHAR(3), colB VARCHAR(3), colC VARCHAR(3))
INSERT INTO myTable (colA, colB, colC) VALUES ('ABC', '123', '0X')
INSERT INTO myTable (colA, colB, colC) VALUES ('XYZ', '789', 'X0')

;WITH cte AS
(
SELECT CAST(PATINDEX('%[^0]%', colC) AS SMALLINT) pos, STUFF(colC, 1, PATINDEX('%[^0]%', colC), '') colC
FROM myTable

[code]....
