Sql 2005 Express Stalling / Running Very Slow
Mar 8, 2007
Sql 2005 Express with XPP SP2 and the latest MS updates sometimes runs very slow.
A SELECT which should take a fraction of a second can take several 10s of seconds.
I have checked autoclose is OFF for database using
use master
go
exec sp_dboption 'your_db_name','autoclose'
And it is definitely showing as OFF
I've looked at the Activity Monitor and when stalled it shows one or two processes for my database which are sleeping with 1 or 2 open transactions. When I look at their details they are simple select statements.
Often when my computer should be idle SqlServer.exe can be consuming 20 - 30% of cpu
I've noticed that I have TWO sqlservr.exe showing in my Task Manager, Processes display
One sqlservr.exe is 27K using about 17% even tho computer is idle has username NETWORK SERVICE
Other sqlservr.exe is 343K using 0% has user name SYSTEM
I don't know why.

I've just moved a website/database application from windows server 2000 and sql server 2000 to windows server 2003 sp2 and SQL 2005 Express SP2. Database intensive pages now take about 40 seconds where before they took 2-3 seconds.
Things I've tried that haven't helped...
- I changed the ADODB connection string
from: sCnString = "dsn=mydsn;Database=mydatabase;uid=myuid;pwd=mypassword"
to: sCnString = "driver={SQL Native Client};server=myserverSQLEXPRESS;Database=mydatabase;uid=myuid;pwd=mypassword"
- Checked that autoclose is false.
What else can I look at?

Hi,
I have got an application running which connects 2 databases and performs an action that copies data from one database to the other database.
When using SQL Server 2000 MSDE, it takes about 5 seconds.
When using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition it takes about 30 seconds.
For testing 2005, I use 'upgraded' databases, so same indexes and data. I tried reindexing the databases, but always get the same result.
My setup string for installing SQL Server 2005 Express is :
/qb ADDLOCAL=ALL INSTANCENAME=DBNAME SECURITYMODE=SQL SAPWD=QWERTY SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM"
The code (ADO) is something like :
SELECT FROM original database
-- do something with data
INSERT INTO other database
Until EOF
Any idea how to solve this ???
P.S. When perfoming a simple Query on the databases (with 1.000.000 rows result) with SQL Server Management Studio Express, I see 37 seconds for SQL Server 2000 and 33 Second for SQL Server 2005. That is more the result I expect.

I've downloaded and installed both of these (VWD installs both) and have been trying to run through the walkthrough of setting up a web application which supports membership. However, no matter what I do I invariably get errors like the following:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
I'm concerned why VWD and VSQL express versions don't run correctly out of the box (so to speak). I'm not an expert on configuring these services -- but that's the point of offering these tools to hobbyists: So we can learn about how to make some of these great applications using MS tools.
My configuration::
Windows XP SP2 -- clean machine as of about a month ago, never had any dev tools, web servers, or the like on it.
IIS is installed and the service says its running
VSQL and VWD express versions installed (no errors on installation)
SQL server service indicates it is running
.Net 2.0 framework installed (no errors on installation)
Note: I've tried installing on two separate machines. Obviously I'm missing something fundamental.
Would someone please help me go through the million things I [apparently] need to do to configure all these tools so I can get on to actually coding up my first web application? If this is documented somewhere, all I can say is I tried to find it but it certainly wasn't obvious.

My client has a server running MS 2003 Server for Smal Business Server, and it has SQL Server Express 2005 installed (I believe it is installed 3 times, as part of SharePoint, Veritas Backup Exec and ACT! applications).
I am trying to implement an application that uses SQL Server 2000, but the Server 2003 SBS does not support that version. So I need to launch an additional instance of SQL Server Exp 2005.
To do so, do I need to download and install SQL Server Express 2005 software again? Or can I just run SQLSVR.exe from an existing instance, but with a different instance name (sqlservr.exe -s<InstanceName>?
The reason I need another instance is that these existing instances limit DDL statements.
I am new to this and compare it to launching MS Word multiple times - you don't need to reinstall Word to run it multiple times.
Is launching from the command line a bad idea - and if it is, what is the better way to ensure that it launches under the local system context a service?
Thanks in advance for any help and insights. It is much appreciated.

Just like with Access DB, can we set password for database in SQL Server 2005 Express ?
Reason to do so is, user with Login having sysadmin previliage can acess all databases in SQL server.
so just want to restrict database access to only those users who knows the password.
Is there any possible solution ? Pls comment.
Thanks.

I have a dts job set up to transfer 550,000 records from a dbf file into a sql server. If I just let it run, there is a 9-10 minute delay, then it starts. If I try to schedule a job, it fails completely. I looked up ways to get it to execute quicker, mainly going to the advanced tab of the transform arrow and making the inserts 1000 at a time, the table locked, turning constraints off. Any advice on how to speed it up or why the job is failing?

Hi All
Last week, we upgraded to sql2000 from 6.5. Everything went on fine. we re-compiled all the procedures. When i try to run a procedure, its running for long time - more than 10 hours (in sql 6.5 it runs for 50 mins). do i need to set any procedure cache?.
Also, the server CPU usuage is constantly high - more than 80%. It was fine till last week.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hi list,
I'm a long time lurker on this list and really enjoy the discussions, although I rarely get a chance to participate.
Here is my situation: We are importing chunks of data (500 records at a time) from a C++ interface. The records have to be transformed before inserting into the target table which I am doing using a stored proc which is working fine. The records are in memory in C++ and the programmer is looping through the records building inserts into a temp table through ADO (which my proc picks up). The server business object is using the connection.execute method which is inserting one record at a time. That part of the process is taking over 15 seconds for 500 records which is the bulk of the total time.
My question is: Using ADO is there a better way to insert these records into the temp table? I see mention of a recordset interface but my programmers are new to ADO and since I am the DBA and have never used ADO, I am not sure what to tell them.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I have linked three SQL Servers together, and have written a stored proc that has a cursor that joined three tables from one of the linked servers. When I pull the SQL out of the cursor definition and run it in a query window it runs fine, but when I run the stored proc that simply steps through the same select result set it is too slow for words. It also throws a warning about serial isolation levels. Is there any way I can fix this.

Hi,
Our main production server has started running slow, it is a dual zeon thingy with plenty of ram so hardware is not an issue.
Basically a service connects to the database and executes a few stored procs, the only way I can get the system up to speed again is to recompile one of the SPs but that is only a temporary fix.
Anyone had a similar thing?
Can anyone give me help on performance tuning in SQL server 2000.
Thanks

Hi guys.
I have a DTS package ON SQL 2000 which transfer data from AS400 to SQL 2000 using an ODBC Client Access 5.1 (The DSN was configured by a sysdmin on the AS400 so it is configured properly).
When i execute the package manualy (by right click and "execute package") the package runns fine and ruterns data in no time (Eproximatly 30000 rows in 15 sec).
The problem starts when a job executes the same packagee!!!
When i start the job, the DTS package is running Very Very Slow!!!!
sometime it takes Hours to return a few rows! and it seems that it is stuck.
The SQLAgent is running as a NT Account with Administrator rights, and has full access to the AS400!! so the problem is not the Agent.
by monitoring the AS400, i have noticed that the job/DTS is retreaving the first fetch quickly , and then it is in a waiting status
i have tried everything and cant seem to get this problem fixed
Does anyone know what could be the problem?
I Need Help Quick!!!
Thank You
Gil

Hello All,
I have two procedures being run one after the other.
when I run proc1 it runs for about 15 min.
Now the proc2 is dependent on proc1, when I run proc2 it runs for 45 min.
If I run both the proc's simultaneously through .net code it takes more than 1 hour. Can anyone of you tell me where would be the problem.
Thanks in Advance.

Can multiple instances of SQL 2005 Express attach to the same database files on a network share? I have seen this done before with MSDE where the database files are stored on the server, but instead of having a SQL server running on the network and then connecting to it, only the database files exist on the network share and the users connect through MSDE running on the local machine. Is this possible with SQL2005Express? I do not have the ability to share an SQL instance from one workstation to another nor do I have the ability to install an instance on the corporate server. Is it as simple as creating the database and storing the files on the share then attaching the database to the SQL Instance on each workstation?

Hi,
I have SQLServer 6.5 SP5a update running on Windows NT 4.0 SP6
with 4 gig RAM and 4 processor.
Suddenly the SQL 6.5 jobs running on the production server started running very very slow. A job that suppose to run in 30 minutes are running like 2 hours and completing successfully.
(I suspect the after the Norton Anti virus automatic live update may be the reason but not the Second Vulnerability as mentioned by Microsoft Bulletin last week)
I check the SQLServer, ran the performance monitor, checked pagefiles, disk space, databases,memory, tempdb. Everything seems to be normal.
I rebooted the server, checked any other process making that slow. But no use.
Please help me out with this issue as this is a production and the CRM applications from the clients uses the database server.
Thanks in advance,
Anu

All,
I have been tapped to help with fixing a reporting tool. We have a Sql Server database/crystal reports(10) setup. I havent had the chance to look at the tables in the DB yet, but I was told that aggregate tables were used. In my past experience with crystal reports, we used database views to feed crystal reports (in Oracle). I was thinking that I could somehow use views instead of tables and then try to re-index the base tables and compile satitics (if theres such a thing with Sql Server). I was also going to look into bottlenecking and locking (table locking as opposed to row or page locking for the lookup tables...to reduce overhead on the main tables) but, I'm not sure if it'll make a difference since this is just a demo server with no major traffic hitting it yet.
The question is, does anyone have any experience with crystal reports running slow with Sql Server, what should I look out for??

Hi all,
I'm having what you might call an optimisation issue - but I'm also not sure if my approach to this problem is right. I've spent the whole day trying various methods but none seem to be performing as admirably as I'd hoped.
Basically, here's the scenario:
1. Log files are being inserted into a SQL table via Log Parser 2.2.
2. I have a lookup table of ip address ranges to countries and other geographic data.
3. Once the log row has been inserted from Log Parser, I want to update the same log table with data from the lookup table.
The main problem seems to be the updating (the initial insert from Log Parser is lightning quick).
I initially wrote a trigger on AFTER INSERT on the log table that converted the actual user's IP address into IPNumber format using a simple algorithm, then pumped the IPNumber into a quick select query which retrieved the geolocation data. Then, in the same trigger, there was an update statement which basically said:
update dbo.Logs
set [Country] = @Country
where [IpNumber] = @IpNumber and [Country] = Null
Therein lies the problem. The update statement slows everything down to almost a standstill and also seems to obtain a lock on the table.
Critical factors:
1. The log table must remain readable.
2. The query must execute in seconds -- not over half hour :)
I've experimented with various combinations of indexing, so far to no avail.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Regards
