NOLOCK Clarifications

Feb 25, 2008

When the NOLOCK hint is included in a SELECT statement, no locks are taken when data is read. This gives a Dirty Read in a result set.
The data retrieved in the select statement may not be correct since some other process might have updated the data while it was taken in the select statement.

Now, Can I know what is the use of NOLOCK? In which way we can make efficient use of NOLOCK ???

Database Mirroring | Can Witness Live On Mirroring Server?

May 3, 2008



Server A = primary SQL DBs (mirroring origination)
Server B = failover SQL DBs (mirroring destination)

For database mirroring a witness is required.
Can the witness live in another instance of SQL on server B?

Clarifications On Debugging And Deployment Strategy

Apr 11, 2008



Hi,

I'm currently developing an Integration Service Solution using Visual Studio 2005. In this solution I have 4 packages. The first one call the second one that call the third one and so on.

To be able to debug those packages, the child packages are executed by Execute Package tasks, using a file system connection that point to the .dtsx file located in my project folder. It works great.

My problem is that I now need to deploy my packages on SQL Server. Since the deployment server is not the same as the development one, my Execute Package tasks fail - this is logical, they are looking for a file that doesn't exist on the deployment server. I'd like my parent package to execute the child packages located on SQL Server.

Of course, I could modify all my Execute Package tasks to use SQL Server instead of a file system connection before deployment but this is very painful (mainly because I have to do the opposite when I need to debug my solution).

Is there a way to streamline that process so that my Execute Package tasks automatically use SQL Server when I set Deployment configuration and file system connection when I set Development configuration ?

Thanks for your help,


Eric.

Clarifications On Queue Service And Queue Readers

Jan 11, 2006

Hello,
This is info that I am still not certain about and I just need to make sure, my gut feeling is correct:

A.
When a procedure is triggered upon reception of a message in a queue, what happens when the procedure fails and rolls back?
1. Message is left on the Queue.
2. is the worker procedure triggered again for the same message by the queue?
3. I am hoping the Queue keeps on triggering workers until it is empty.

My scenario is that my queue reader procedure only reads one message at a time, thus I do not loop to receive many messages.

B.
For my scenario messages are independent and ordering does not matter.
Thus I want to ensure my Queue reader procedures execute simultaneously. Is reading the Top message in one reader somehow blocking the queue for any other reader procedures? I.e. if I have BEGIN TRANSACTION when reading messages of the Queue, is that effectively going prevent many reader procedures working simultaneously. Again, I want to ensure that Service broker is effectively spawning procedures that work simultaneously.

Thank you very much for the time,

Lubomir

Mirroring :: Database Mirroring Changes In Application

Oct 12, 2015

Using SQL Server 2008, we would like propose mirroring between two servers of a critical database. Since we initiate, may require to clarify on its purpose and also required changes from application end.Any changes required from OS Level? (I believe both servers IP or Host name should be added in host entries. Mirroring ports should be allowed/open including Principal and mirror server IP Addresses): Windows Team.Any changes required from Application? (Instance name, authentication: user name and its password should be added in web config files): Application Team.Any changes required from Network Team?Also for mirroring both the principal and mirror servers should be with same version, does it only mean SQL Server 2008 versions are enough or does it also mean to say build numbers 10.00.4000 should also be same.URL....

Replication :: Server 1 And Server 2 In Mirroring Relationship With Automatic Failover

Sep 24, 2015

I'm looking at a setup where they have server1 and server2 in a mirroring relationship with automatic failover. 

Server1 is the principalThey are using transactional replication to replicate asingle databse to server3 is AWS.Distribution database is on Server1All Agents (log reader, snapshot, distributor) run on Server1Server2 has not been set up for replication...My understanding is that in this set up you would normallly place the distribution database on a separate server and enable publication on the mirror, Server2.

What happens if they failover? Replication would stop, and presumably records added while the mirror is the active database would not be marked for replication?How would they recover?  Failback and reinintialize

SQL Server 2005 Mirroring

Jul 20, 2007

I am working on a proof of concept to take to our Technical Board.

This POC is concearned with SQL server 2005 Mirroring for High Availability and Failover in a Highly Critical business sector.



The problem is that we use custom web pages to give the Operations Center an overview of the status of the system and that there are so many metrics available (not may are well documented). I have looked at the following



sys.database_mirroring_witnesses

is_suspended to show the state of the Sync

database_name to return the name of the mirrored database

safety_level_desc to show that the Safety level is at Full

Principal_server_name to show the name of the Principal server

Mirror_server_name to Show the Name of the Mirror Server.





I am at a loss as to what is the best approach as I do not want to display too much Information and confuse.



The Servers are locked down to remove any permissions not required so I have to create a SQL account with only acces to the required sys views. one issue is that the following SQL only works on the Principal




Code SnippetSelect * from sys.database_mirroring where mirroring_guid is not null



The Principal returns




Code Snippet

7 267CF8D3-8066-44EA-84BD-B7EA25C3F779 4 SYNCHRONIZED 2 MIRROR 20 2 FULL 1 TCP://DNGLHRSQL051.XX.XX.XXX:5022 DNGLHRSQL051 TCP://LHRSQL029.XX.XXX.XXX:5023 1 CONNECTED 40000000010300001 10 NULL UNLIMITED



where the Mirror will return nothing..



The configuration of the User is identical on both Principal and Mirror and is as follows

Master Public

MSDB Public, dbm_monitor





I have read that the User also requires "view any Database" but on the Mirror this database is not available on the Mirror as it is in Sync.



Is this an undocumented Feature?



Any help greatly appreciated



Regards

SQL Server 2005 Mirroring

Aug 16, 2006

I am trying to set up a SQL mirroring senario - I have some questions

Do I need to purchase an extra SQL Server license for the SQL server instance on the Mirror? what about the Witness does that also need a separate license/

Can the witness be a virtual server on the Mirror box itself? Do I still require a license if the witness is on a virtual server?

Thanks

Turn Off Partialy Set Up SQL Server Mirroring

Apr 10, 2008

Some how SQL Server 2005 database mirroring was partialy set up on one of my servers. I know this because there is traffic from the server to port 5022 for IP addresses 1.1.1.[234] (which means the last octect is either 2, 3, or 4).

I'm getting complaints from the network manager about the traffic and I want to turn this off, but I can't find any documentation on this topic. I've checked the database configuration and I can't find any configuration for mirroring, just the traffic on the TCP port.

Does this mean a background processes (service) is running that needs to be killed or is it more complex than that...

Asynchronous Mirroring And Server Failure

Sep 21, 2007


Hi

Can anyone please tell me what happens if I have Asynchronous mirroring setup and my Primary server physically dies and not available then what happens?. Does

1. Automatic failover occur to Secondary server?
2. What does the Database state show as. Primary, disconnected?.
3. what happens to my transactions. Are they lost?
4. Does any data loss occur?

If I rebuild a new server how do I sync back my current primary to the new one? In that case is it going to be just a fail back?

Any information is appreciated,

Thank you

SQL Server 2005 Clustering/Replication/Mirroring

Sep 28, 2007

I am developing an enterprise class solution using SQL Server 2005 and MS .NET v2 and am tying determine if SQL Server 2005 (which edition and if so how) would be adequate for my proposed solution. Any feedback, tips, comments would be greatly appreciated.



As a background the solution I am developing will be web services based and used by multiple offices around the globe by over 500 users. I have already developed a prototype using a single SQL Server 2005 instance but as this solution is going to be used by offices around the world I want to have an IIS Server and SQL Server 2005 server instance in each office with "links" back to the primary SQL Server 2005 cluster in Australia.



One of my thoughts was to set up replication between the offices that would happen at midnight remote office local time and then set up triggers to update the primary cluster when assoociated data was changed on the remote sites or on the primary cluster. Does anyone know or can anyone suggest alternatives to this strategy?



I effectively need some sort of inter site caching functionality with store and foreward capabilities ...



Thanks

Andrew

Database Mirroring Vs SQL Server FailOver (Performance)

Mar 15, 2006

Hi there.

I´m running some tests in a database with Mirroring and without Mirroring. As expected there is a performance hit using Database mirroring.

The tests i´m running are just simple functions inserting and updating the database, and then counting the number of sucedeed inserts and updates in a time interval.

My question here is: What if i use Sql Server failover mechanism?

I know that failover time will increase and management is more complex, but what can i expect in terms of performance ?

SQL Server 2008 :: Database Mirroring Timeout Setting?

Oct 20, 2011

I have setup database mirroring with witness server. To prevent unnecessary failover because of network slow or other issue, I changed the timeout setting as

ALTER DATABASE <Database Name>
SET PARTNER TIMEOUT 120

Which I understand if connection is broken between principal and mirror, principal database will wait for 120 second and after that only automatic failover will happen.

If this is true, it does not happen in my case. Failover happens before120 second.
