I'm in an unfortunate situation. We are posting information using a stored procedure to an outside SQL server connected to through a System DSN on our server (win 2003 server) using php's ODBC functions (we never had any luck connecting directly to the SQL server using php's mssql functions).
Everything is working fine, we can connect, send querys, etc ... but between 1am and 10am we recieve errors when trying to execute queries (though we can connect fine).
Whoops ... forgot to get the error returned before it turned 10am ... I can post it tomorrow
I think the database is being locked, but unfortunately I know very little about MS SQL server
The people who's database we are connecting to are not being helpful ... I was hoping I could get some suggestions on what would be the cause.
Anything you can suggest would be a huge help! Thanks!

I scheduled a Bulk copy operation, and have been getting some inconsistent failures.
Last night the job was set to run every 3 hours, I expect it to take about 1 hour to finish.
The second itteration of the job failed, the first and third ran fine. Here is the error from DTS
Any suggestions? Is there a better/stable Data Provider for SQL?

I have a table with 4869068 rows and when some one tries to insert the records into this table the database times out....Does any one know what could be the reason and from where do I start debugging. I have no problem with the disk space?
I have created a Report (type Tabular) and deployed it on a report server. I am accessing the report via Report Viewer. Now when the report is exported in to pdf format, It gets exported and the pdf also gets created. But at times user is not seeing any data in the PDF even if the Report had data in it.
I am guessing the following may be the reason: 1. Network issues and bytes not received properly 2. Huge load on the Report Server and something have gone wrong.
But I am not able to get the reason why this happens. Anyone who has encountered the problem, please help me.

When the dialog box appeared indicating file couldn't found, there was no option to look elsewhere for it the only option was retry or cancel which after 5 or 6 retries I cancelled. Everything else appears to have installed correctly for this instance.
Also earlier attempts to install have left services for named instances that I cannot install to such as SQLEXPRESS , SQLEXPRESS1 and CURRIEREXPRESS, I long ago had a beta version installed and have attempted numerous methods to completely wipe these out using the uninstallbetas tool from Microsoft as well as a number of suggestions from some posts.
Please help - The most significant reason I'm installing this is to practice creating SQL Reporting Service reports
I have an VB.NET web app which performs a fairly complicated SQL query. It seems in the morning, the 1st time the page is loaded (and query executed) it takes up to 10-15 seconds to complete loading. Sometimes it even times out. However anytime after that, the page loads up (even from another computer) in about 4-5 seconds. Can someone explain the reason for this and how I might fix the load times in the morning?
I have a column in a table that records when the date and time of an event took place.
Table Name: Chronicle Column Name: Created (of type DateTime)
I would like to select the Chronicle records that are between two dates. (e.g. 1 May 2001 and 20 May 2001) And I would like to select those records that are between two times. (e.g. 6:00am and 1:00pm)
Does anyone know how to do this or have any pointers for me? I can see it would be easier if I had the date in one column and the time in the other. Can it be done without doing that?
We recently upgraded from SQL 6.5 to SQL 7. I have a few .sql files that were each running around 5 - 8 minutes under 6.5. These same files now each take over 30 minutes to run. Has anybody had problems with their queries taking longer to run under 7.0? These files are quite large and are comprised of 3 - 4 batches with several queries in each batch. If anybody has any thoughts on the cause please let me know.
We are having a problem with Query Analyzer not connecting to SQL Server anymore. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't. Sometimes when it does, then you click on the databases drop-down, it may take a long time to return. Likewise, it may take a long time to open the object browser, or it may open without the database info but with just the "Common Objects" info.
I have multiple SQLDatasources on multiple pages. When I call the Select command for the datasource the query is run multiple times. I was wondering if anyone had any problems like this. The data is being read into listboxes. If you need any more info or have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

I have two tables in my database. I want to insert date and no.of hours worked on that day for a particular project. So in a week if end user enters 7 dates and hrs for each day...... i have to insert those values into the table against one project only. Can any one please help me out how to run insert query for 7 times (in a week) with different parameters
I want the below query to run 24 hours ..once the insert is complete, run again , so on for 24 hours .
there is a way to run every second in as job but i want to run only after run complete ..is there a way to run the query after every complete run ? and keep in job
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Audit_Active] ([SPID],[LoginName],[HostName],[ProgramName],[Command],[LastQuery],[DBName],[ServerName]) SELECT --DISTINCT p.SPID, p.LogiName, p.HostName,
We have a view with many left joins. The original creators of this view might have been lazy or sloppy, I don't know. I have rewritten the query to proper inner joins where required and also nested left joins.
So rather then the following exemplary fragment
select <many items> from A left join B on B.id_A = A.id left join C on C.id_B = B.idthis now looks like select <many items> from A left join (B join C on C.id_B = B.id ) on B.id_A = A.id
Compilation time of the original view was 18s, of the new rewritten view 4s. The performance of execution is also better (not counting the compile of course). The results of the query are identical. There are about 30 left joins in the original view.
I can imagine that the optimizer has difficulty with all these left joins. But 14s is quite a big difference. I haven't looked into detail in the execution plans yet. I noticed that in both cases the Reason for Early Termination of Statement Optimization was Time Out.
I apologize for the long post but I am trying to give as much information as I can about the steps I've taken to troubleshoot this.
We have a stored procedure that builds a sql statement and executes it using the Execute command. When I execute the stored procedure through query analyzer it takes close to 5 seconds to execute. When I print out the exact same statement and execute it directly in query analyzer as "raw sql", it takes 0.5 seconds - meaning it takes 10 times longer for the code to execute in the stored proc. I altered the stored proc to execute the printed sql instead of building but it still takes the full 5 seconds and there were no changes in the execution plan. This makes me confident that the issue is not caused by the dynamic sql. I've used with recompile to make sure that the stored procedure caches the most recent execution plan. When I compare the execution plans, the stored proc uses a nested loop whereas the raw sql statement uses a hash join. Seeing that, I added the hash hint to the stored proc and doing so brought down the execution time down from 5 secs to 2 secs but still the raw sql statement uses a clustered index whereas the stored proc uses a non-clustered index and that makes the statement 4 times slower. This proves how efficient clustered indexes are over non-clustered ones, but it doesn't help me since, as far as I know, I can't force SQL Server to use the clustered index.
Does anyone know why sql server is generating such an inefficient execution plan for the stored proc compared to the execution plan that it generates when executing the raw sql statement? The only thing I can think of is that some stats are not updated and that somehow throws off the stored proc. But then again, shouldn't it affect the raw sql statement?
-- The 3rd query uses an incorrect column name in a sub-query and succeeds but rows are incorrectly qualified. This is very DANGEROUS!!! -- The issue exists is in 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014 and is "By Design"
set nocount on go if object_id('tempdb.dbo.#t1') IS NOT NULL drop table #t1 if object_id('tempdb.dbo
[code]....
This succeeds when the invalid column name is a valid column name in the outer query. So in this situation the sub-query would fail when run by itself but succeed with an incorrectly applied filter when run as a sub-query. The danger here is that if a SQL Server user runs DML in a production database with such a sub-query which then the results are likely not the expected results with potentially unintended actions applied against the data. how many SQL Server users have had incorrectly applied DML or incorrect query results and don't even know it....?

Is any way we can tell sql server to keep specific (long runing) query in procedure Cache. I already tried to do this by creating job (run every 1 hr from 8 am to 6 pm) but is not enough
Hi,Can't post specifics at the moment but if this seems like a commonproblem any help would be appreciated.When querying with ~6 tables, using mostly left outer joins, I getstandard performance with the where clausewhere XXX is not nullhowever, if I try the clausewhere XXX = 4the query takes upwards of 5-6 minutes (I just stop it running at thatpoint.The field XXX is in the 'main' table (to which the joins attach), it'san integer field too so I can't see too many problems there.There's no index on the XXX field, but if I remove the joins, I getstandard performance doing either query.So why would the second query's performance differ so significantly?Cheers,Chris
I have two tables in my database: order_id with fields order (text) and comp_ID (int) and another table called customers with comp_ID (int) and company name (text) and other company information fields. The link between the two tables is the comp_ID. With every order that's made the company that made the order is stored with it in the order_id table. If I type in the order id (text), I want to be able to use the order id to search the order_id table and find out what the comp_ID of the company that made that order is. Then use that comp_ID to pull up the record of company information from the customers table with the same comp_ID. Is there some way to do this in one query? Or how do I accomplish this?
Ok, please pardon my complete ignorance; but I am extremely SQL challenged. I manage the server right now and I am the closest thing to a DBA at the moment with this server.
Here is the problem. I have a job that runs every hour and until last week it was running without any problems. Now, once a day it hangs, and I end up having to restart sql to get it to be functional again. I guess I could just kill the spid, but regardless, it's fails.
It doesn't happen at the same time each day. I thought it was from the backups doing a SQL backup job, but I eliminated that possibility. I can't find what is causing the problem, because the SQL logs just stop at the time that this happens. It's like some other job/query is running and taking all the sql server resources. But I can never catch it when it's happening and I have no event logs or SQL logs to go on.
Is there any query that I can run to find what happened around the specific time the job failed to run? I just need to find what process did what when this job stopped working.
Again, I apologize if my lack of SQL knowledge is making me ask dumb questions, but I am really lost.
I have a very large SQL Server table and want to pull all 50 columns that are in a certain row because something in that row has invalid varchar and is causing runtime errors. It is row 9054378701 and I am not sure how to create a query to pull that specific row and all 50 columns.
use tempdb go if object_id('Data', 'u') is not null drop table Data go with temp as ( select top 10000 row_number() over (order by c1.object_id) Id from sys.columns c1 cross join sys.columns c2
[code]....
What index would be best for these three queries? With best I mean the execution time, I don't care about additional space.
This is the index I currently use: create nonclustered index Ix_Data on Data (StateId, PalletId, BoxId, Id) The execution plan is SELECT (0%) - Stream Aggregate (10%) - Index Scan (90%).
Can this be optimized (maybe to use Index Seek method)?
I need to return 1 ip address for each machine. I can easily achieve this with using group by and return max(ipaddress) however I would like to filter out specific range '192.168.%' but only want to do that if machine has more then 1 ip address. If the machine has only 1 ip address then it can return it even if its '192.168.%'
below is test table to show sample data
CREATE TABLE dbo.[testip]( [machineid] INT NULL, [ipaddress] [varchar](20) NULL ) GO INSERT INTO [dbo].[testip] ([machineid],[ipaddress]) VALUES (1,'155.119.1.22') INSERT INTO [dbo].[testip] ([machineid],[ipaddress]) VALUES (1,'192.168.1.5')
