not sure if this is by default or restricted,
but I can't view the sql server logs using ctp
an error is generated saying the tsql could not be retrieved or something, very long message to post here
is this normal?
TIA
--------------------
keeping it simple...
When looking at SQL Server error logs, I noticed that the current error
log had grown to 1MB whereas most of the files are only a few KB.
QUESTION 1: Can I set the max size for an error log file? If so, how?
QUESTION 2: If not, is there a workaround?
Thanks

I was wondering if there is any way all SQL Server error log entries could be automatically written to Windows Event Log.
Hi,
In my case I have to log the errors raised by any task in a package to either windows event log, text file or SQL server. Also I need to send an email notifications to a group of people telling them about the error.
Now can I use SSIS package logging for logging the errors into the required destinations. I mean right clicking on the package and selecting Logging, then adding the required log providers and enabling the events for logging into those. I think I have to upfront select the log providers to log the error, I will not have the liberty to log the error to the destination, the name of which is passed as a variable to the package. This is okay with me though.
Now what will a custom log provider help me to do in this case. Also can I somehow configure my package to call the send mail task everytime an error is raised.
Also, one more option can be developing a package that only does the error handling. It will take in the paramters or the error codes and descriptions, the destination to write to and a flag to send mail or not for that particular type of error.
What do you think? Kindly advise.
Thanks in advance for your help and time.

Fellow database developers,I would like to draw on your experience with views. I have a databasethat includes many views. Sometimes, views contains other views, andthose views in turn may contain views. In fact, I have some views inmy database that are a product of nested views of up to 6 levels deep!The reason we did this was.1. Object-oriented in nature. Makes it easy to work with them.2. Changing an underlying view (adding new fields, removing etc),automatically the higher up views inherit this new information. Thismake maintenance very easy.3. These nested views are only ever used for the reporting side of ourapplication, not for the day-to-day database use by the application.We use Crystal Reports and Crystal is smart enough (can't believe Ijust said that about Crystal) to only pull back the fields that arebeing accessed by the report. In other words, Crystal will issue aSelect field1, field2, field3 from ReportingView Where .... eventhough "ReportingView" contains a long list of fields.Problems I can see.1. Parent views generally use "Select * From childview". This meansthat we have to execute a "sp_refreshview" command against all viewswhenever child views are altered.2. Parent views return a lot of information that isn't necessarilyused.3. Makes it harder to track down exactly where the information iscoming from. You have to drill right through to the child view to seethe raw table joins etc.Does anyone have any comments on this database design? I would love tohear your opinions and tales from the trenches.Best regards,Rod.

Hi
I'm very novice when it comes to SQL Server Administration.
I have been asked if the SQL Server Log can trace information on whether data supplied to an individual has been tampered with, or if it is the full data set provided.
Apologies for this vague description, but that is what I have to go on also.
I am trying to find an article which details what the purpose of SQL Server logs are and if I can extract this sort of information from them.
Any idea if the SQL server log can provide tracing/editing/exporting information?
Thanks!!
We are using sql server 2000. I checked the sql server logs and noticed that everytime a user logs into sql an error log gets created stating, "starting up database 'CORT'". This db has nothing to do with users logging in as far as I can tell. What can check to find out what's causing this error log?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a question that I hope someone can help with. I am attempting to load my IIS logs into SQL Server using DTS. I have done this sucessfully by manually specifying the source file. I would like to automate this process but, I have been unable to figure out how to do this. The IIS logs changes daily and the file name changes. How do I configure DTS to grab the log for the previous day?
I believe that the solution is to first copy the log to an alternate location then let DTS do it's thing. How do I programatically accomplish this ?
Thanks

I've been digging for a while to try to find something, even had a consultant looking for me, but came up empty haned.
What I want to do is this:
I activated the Security Audit level for all logins. I want to be able to report last login date for every user from the log, and all login events for SA or any other defined super users.
Is it possible to Query the SQL Server Logs to report this information?
This is for proposed Sarbox Database Security settings.
I just installed the SSMS for 2005 Express and cannot view any SQL Server Logs. I see Current and Archive #1,#2 etc but the right pane is blank.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently performed an SQL server 2000 installation. Other thanplacing the program files on C: and data on D:, I saw no option toinstall transaction logs in an alternate location.What is the best practice with SQL server 2000 for location oftransaction logs? I remember that Microsoft used to take the positionthat transaction logs should be placed on their own FAT partition.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have SQL Server 2005 Express on a Windows XP SP2 machine. Everything works fine and I have several dbs running. How ever I was wanting to optimize some programs and needed to watch the server and see what it is processing. I log into SQL Management Studio Express and when I go to Management->Server Logs I see the logs and the Activity Monitor. If I right click on the log all I see is Refresh. If I doule click nothing happens. I can view the Activity Monitor and the processes going.
I am sure it is a permission thing or something along those lines. I can not for the life of me figure it and have spent a couple days on google and these forums. I have tried with the SA, my defined users, and the local windows administrator. Is log viewing not allowed in SQL Server Express?
Thanks!

Hi,
I understand that there is a SQL Server Logs section in Enterprise Manager 2000 where we can view SQL Server activity. Is it possible that we can get those logs by using query? I had been searching over the Internet, system databases, system SP and still have no idea how to achieve it.
Thanks in advance.

Which is more efficient? One large view that joins >=10 tables, or a few smaller views that join only the tables needed for individual pages?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have an issue with an application, and i want to know what sql queries are done by this application. So i need to read the .ldf file, i have do some search on google, but i find nothing thant can be relevant.
I am trying to setup 2 SQL servers (ver 6.5) - A live server and a standby server. The plan is to have regular transaction logs dumps from the Live server databases to the standby server and then have these logs automatically applied.
I have managed to get the logs dumping automatically but when I tried to apply them I keep getting synchronisation/sequence errors.
Has anyone done/tried anything similar. Any advice on this would be very useful.
Thanks

P.S I can't do this via replications as most tables in the database do not have primary keys.

I'm a developer and mostly develop Service Broker applications for my company. I do have logging for my application but unforseen errors will normally show up in the SQL Server System Logs. What would be a good way to give a developer access to read the SQL Server logs without giving away the keys to kingdom. Would that be through xp_readerrorlog or is there a better way of accomplishing this?

Hello.
Not an SQL admin. We have an SQL 2005 server that has about 5 DB's on it. One database is maintained primarily by a third party. Often when they need to do upgrades they login remotely to the desktop of our SQL server. Is there a way to apply permissions to specific databases like you would for NTFS? That way they can only backup their database and not do anything to any other databases? Thanks.
