We are working for a long time on optimizing this script, and latest modification I did was splitting script into small blocks and using UNION ALL. This supported a lot but still it takes some 45 mins on prod environment. I'm not able to find anything more in this script to optimize.
View 9 RepliesI want to store a small cirle in a text field. Can anyone tell me how I can enter it in ascii code.
Thanks
SQL Server 2008 r2...
I have a query which does 3 selects and Union ALLs each to get a final result set. The performance is unacceptable - takes around a minute to run. If I remove the Union All so that the result sets are returned individually it returns all 3 from the query in around 6 seconds (acceptable performance).
Any way to join the result sets together without using Union All.
Each result set has exactly the same structure returned...
Query below [for reference]...
WITH cte AS (
SELECT A.[PoleID], ISNULL(B.[IsSpanClear], 0) AS [IsSpanClear], B.[SurveyDate], ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY A.[PoleID] ORDER BY B.[SurveyDate] DESC) rownum
FROM[UT_Pole] A
LEFT OUTER JOIN [UT_Surveyed_Pole] B ON A.[PoleID] = B.[PoleID]
[Code] .....
Why the sequence different?
select * from (
select id=3,[name]='Z'
union all select 1,'G'
union all select 2,'R'
union all select 4,'Z'
) as t
order by [name]
--result:
---------
--1 G
--2 R
--4 Z
--3 Z
select * from (
select id=3,[name]='Z'
union select 1,'G'
union all select 2,'R'
union all select 4,'Z'
) as t
order by [name]
--result:
----------
--1 G

I know blocks and Deadlocks are different but how related are they? Seems like when I get reports of deadlocks I always have blocks and the blocks grow as time passes.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi, Everyone
Can anyone tell me how to find who blocks the table or record, because the Lock Blocks is extremly high in the performance monitor.
Regards,
I need to test a block-alert and would like to test this by causing a block on our test server. Anyone have a script handy that will do this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI would like to log blocks to see what causes it.
One hack of a way to do it is to run code similar to that which populates the blk column in sp_who; on a job every 5 seconds. It would store the results of code similar to the sp_who output whenever any of the rows has a value greater than zero in the blk column.
This way, I can see what was going on at the time there was a problem.
Does anyone have a better strategy for this?
Is it possiable to go through the history blocks and change field names?...ie
I want to change "PS001_Pump1.RT_Daily" to "PS001_Pump1.Runtime_Daily"
so i can access the historical data thru the new tagname.
If so , is this using an udpate query?
I need to find a way to send mail in blocks of 100 and 500 at intervals of 120 seconds. Does anyone know of any code for this?

Dear All,we are running SQL2000 Sever and make use of the xp_sendmail.For any reason the mail service can run into problems and it lookslike that the statemnt below gets not finished.EXEC @Status = master..xp_sendmail @recipients=@TOList,@copy_recipients=@CCList,@subject='the subject goeshere',@message=@MailText,@no_output=TRUEUnfortunately the statement is in an update trigger and hence itblocks the table for any further updates.My questions are:Can I achieve a kind of timeout check in my trigger in order to bypassthexp_sendmail call ?In general, sending mail in a trigger may not be a good idea.How can this be solved better ?Any hint is highly welcomeRegardsRolf

The following two stored procedures works fine. I need to add try catch blocks in the stored procedures. How to do it? Pls modify my stored procedure with try and catch blocks and in the catch block i need to call the Procedure called ErrorMsg which contains error severity.

When I am running reports on SQL Server 6.5 database which involves creation of temp tables, whole tempdb is locked. All other users are blocked,
The reports involve queries which fetch data into temporary tables, as,
SELECT c1 , c2, c3 ...
INTO #tmp1
FROM T1
WHERE C1 = xxx
AND .........
When any of these queries are run, it blocks all other operations using TEMPDB, like creation of temporary tables or queries using sorts etc.
It appears that the query locks the system tables (sysobjects, syscolumns) in TEMPDB.
However, the above query works fine if it is constructed as,
CREATE TABLE #tmp1 (a1 ..., a2 ...., a3 ..... )
INSERT INTO #tmp1
SELECT (c1, c2, c3)
FROM T1
WHERE c1 = xxx
AND .........
Could someone please tell me what actually is happening in the first scenario. Is there a way avoid the blocking of TEMPDB usage other than the workaround mentioned above (which means I have to change all my queries) ?
Thanks

I'm trying to place records into groups of 100, so I need a query that will return records but not based upon an autonumber type field. For instance, if I had a set of records that had been sequentially numbered (by autonumber) with IDs to greater than 3,600 but there were actually only 300 IDs remaining ranging from 1 to 3600 (say the others were deleted), then I would want to use a query to make three groups of 100 of the remaining IDs.
I can use SELECT TOP 100 for the first 100 records. How do I get subsequent groups of 100?
It's probably obvious and I am thinking too hard.
Hello,we use two instances of the ms sql server 2000 (Version: 8.00.760) on a4 processor windows 2000 (sp 4) machine.A dts-packet on one instance completly blocks the work on the otherinstance.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI wanted to set up a mechanism that would transfer blocks of records (a few dozen to in rare cases a few thousand), with slight modification, from one database to another. It's a sort of custom partial archiving process that would be triggered from a web-based admin application. Records in the target db would be identical except:
-- the primary key in the source table, an identity field, would be just an integer in the target table
-- the target table has an extra field, an integer batch ID supplied by the web application that triggers the process
It's a simple, if not efficient matter to do it within the web application: query the source table, suck the records into memory, and insert them one by one into the target db. This will be an infrequent process which can be done at off-hours, so a bit of inefficiency is not the end of the world. But I wondered if there is a more sensible, orthodox approach:
-- Could this process be done, and done efficiently, as a stored procedure with the batch ID passed as a parameter?
-- Is there any way to do a bulk insert from a recordset or array in memory using ADO and SQL? And if so, is that better than inserting records one by one?
Advice on the best general approach would be appreciated, and I will try to figure out the details.
Hallo,
I'am relatively new to SSIS-programming and experiencing a serious problem with a package (6618 KB large) containing 5 dataflows. These dataflows all start from a datareader-origin and flow trough multiple transformations. While editing the fifth dataflow the developmentenvironment suddenly became unworkably slow. After any modification made to the dataflow it takes several minutes before I can continue editing. Meanwhile in the task manager the process devenv takes a very large portion (50 to 100%) of CPU.
Building the package,shutting down SSIS and even rebooting the PC don't make any difference. When you close the package ands reopen it, this takes at least 10 minutes.
We work with Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer
Version 9.00.1399.00.
Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of transformations in a flow or the size of a package? Could that be the problem?
Before this problem occured I was multiplying transformations by copying ,renaming and altering them within a dataflow. Could SSIS have some problem with that?
Any suggestion for solving this problem, other than chucking it all away an restarting, will be gratefully accepted.
With kind regards,
Paul Baudouin
Hi:

I have several stored procedures with a similar query. The SELECT clauses are identical, but the FROM and WHERE clauses are different.
Since the SELECT clause is long and complicated (and often changes), I want to place the SELECT clause in a separate file and then have the stored procedures include the block of text for the SELECT clause when they compile.
Is this possible? Looking through the docs and searching online, I don't see any way to do this.
I have the following SQL that I want to log the number of visits from clients. a session is a block of time, for example, any time between 9-12 is a morning sessions, 12-5 is an afternoon session etc. I need to count the number of sessions in a month not the appointments within the session, make sense?

Hi. Periodically I need to run a delete statement that deletes old data. The problem is that this can timeout using ODBC (via the CDatabase and CRecordSet classes in legacy code). Also, while its running the delete, the table its operating on is locked and my application can't continue to run and operate on rows not affected by the delete.
Are there any workarounds for this? Can the timeout be set in the connect string?
Thanks,
Brian
I've read that microsoft.applicationblocks.data for .net v2 can't be deployed to a mobile app, and my experience bears that out. So I 'm wondering if there are application blocks for windows mobile 5 that would know how to both talk to sql server mobile and sql server 2005. I see OpenNetCF has a port but as far as I can tell, they only address sql server mobile and not talking to a sql server 2005 remote database. I can use the OpenNetCF version for my sql server mobile requirements, but I'm hoping there is an encapsulation of sqlclient calls for communication with my server db.
thanks

It's a sort of custom partial archiving process that would be triggered from a web-based admin application in plain old ASP (not .net alas). Records in the target db would be identical except:
-- the primary key in the source table, an identity field, would be just an integer in the target table
-- the target table has an extra field, an integer batch ID supplied by the web application that triggers the process

I realize that the ASP.NET tableadapter and dataset features might provide a good solution, but in the short run I can't rewrite the whole application. Advice on the best general approach from an ASP-ADO platform would be appreciated, and I will try to figure out the details.

Hi,We use a database with about 40 related tables. Some tables contain asmuch as 30.000 records. We use Access97 as an interface to thedatabase. Now recently we have the problem that when we want to inserta row in one specific table (alwasy the same) the database makesblocks.Details:- about 10% of the data was inserted using copying from Excel, beforethis action there was no problem, though there is no evidence thatthis causes the problem.- inserting rows via the Query Analyzer works fine, via Access causestrouble.- the tempdb lofile has grown to 48Mb.Has anyone ideas about what is going on and what I can do to solve theproblem?TAV,Jan Willems

Hi all,
I have a Union All transformation with 4 inputs and one output when I debug the package the sum of the different inputs rows does not match the row count in output.
I don't understand, I've used the Union All transform many times and I've never seen this.
Any idea why this could happen ?
I have a sql2005 db. I'm trying to perform a query that takes a list of values in a parm, breaks them up and uses them in an IN clause as follows:
<code>
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SelectPartialOrderListByDate] @StoreID varchar(255)ASBEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; SELECT DISTINCT O.OrderID, M.InitialSalesCode, M.DateOccurred, M.ErrorCode FROM dbo.OrderInfo O WITH (NOLOCK) INNER JOIN dbo.Message M WITH (NOLOCK) ON O.OrderID = M.OrderID WHERE O.StoreID IN (@StoreID)END
</code>
The values coming into the procedure are obviously in a varchar string format.
Notice the boldfacing above. The values within this IN clause should be something like this after the conversion: IN (87,108).
How can I accomplish this? I've seen examples of creating a UDF and returning a table, but am not sure how to apply that to my situation via a code sample.
Could someone help me out?
