Sqlev Maintenance Utility
Aug 21, 2006
Hi
We are devloping a database management utility for MSDE,sql server enterprise and sql EV
There are system queries available for performing index rebuild and setting minimum and max memory on msde and sql server by using the following statements below
"DBCC DBREINDEXALL(S)"
"SP_configure 'min server memory',1024 Reconfigure"
"SP_configure 'max server memory',6144 Reconfigure"
But is there a way I can perform the same on SQL Ev. I tried using the above statements, but it doesn't work out, can anyone help me with statements specific to SQL Mobile or Ev.

I want to store message database in SQLEv. Each message contains fixed header and a body. Body is UTF-16 encoded text. Average size of the body is about 700 symbols. Standard deviation about 1000 symbols. Maximum size - 200K symbols. Total count of the messages is up to 2 millions.
The only type I can use for body is text or binary blob. But blob larger than 256 bytes store in separate pages. Because of most message bodies lager than 256 bytes, each message take avg. PageSize / 2 not used for storing data, but occupied space.
For 2M messages this space will be 4096 / 2 * 2M = 4G. But SQLEv has 4G limit for database size!
Is it any way to store such data in SQLEv more efficiently?

Due to client requirements i have found it necessary to write an application that moves data from SQL Server to SQLEv
To do this I open the SQLServer table and using a FOREACH Statement track through the table
I then cast each of the fields I require into a variable
Each record then calls and INSERT INTO statement to insert the data into SQLEV
One serious problem is how do I get round NULLs
ie if contents = (string)ditem["CONTENTS"]; returns a NULL it crashes
So I want something like
IF ditem["CONTENTS"] = NULL
contents = ""
else
contents = (string)ditem["CONTENTS"]
It is very slow the insert statement takes about .7 of a second (although it does seem to speed up)
I enclose a bit of the code
Get the required data
contents = (string)ditem["CONTENTS"];
metrics = (string)ditem["METRICS"];
pickface = (string)ditem["PICKFACE"];
profile = (string)ditem["PROFILE"];
stocktake = (DateTime)ditem["STOCKTAKE"]; //&& ditem["STOCKTAKE"] is DBNull;
// now update the database
this.iTEMTableAdapter1.InsertQuery(
isbom, vendno, item, posloc, desc,
longdesc,size,style,colour,classname,
upccode,upcinner,upcouter,upccase,cuscode ,status,
donhand,dphysical,dnumeric1,dnumeric2,
logic3,logic1,obselete,donorder,
contents,metrics,pickface,profile);
Any ideas please

It seems that the |DataDirectory| macro is giving VS 2005 fits. It's a minor issue though and I've stumbled on it recently.
The issue actually doesn't come up until you try to "add a new data source" to your project (after you've made the modification in your app settings/Project Properties to use the macro). So if you started of with ".something.sdf" and then changed it to use the macro, things do run fine....until you try to add a new datasource (new database datasource)
The error is: "Illegal characters in path" which is the pipe symbol.....
While on this subject, here's a tip to those who maybe going through some debugging mysteries:
Even if your sdf file is in your app "root" folder, if you debug, the file your app is actually working on is in the "indebug" folder. So it pays to create another connection in your Server Explorer to this file while debugging.
I spent quite some time trying to figure out why my code didn't seem to be working and got even more frustrated since obviously no errors were reported. Turns out I was looking at the wrong db file....hope this helps...

Hello,
I have a question that I hope someone can clear up for me. I have come across a number of different suggestions on DB maintenance, for example reindexing with the following script:
USE DatabaseName --Enter the name of the database you want to reindex
DECLARE @TableName varchar(255)
DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_type = 'base table'
OPEN TableCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
DBCC DBREINDEX(@TableName,' ',90)
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
END
CLOSE TableCursor
DEALLOCATE TableCursor
My question is, doesn't the maintenance plan have this functionality inherent in it when you create the maintenance jobs to reindex? Is there a benefit to scripting things out vs just using the maintenance plan wizard for this sort of thing and any of the items it covers? I came from an Oracle background where this was a no-brainer but I am a bit confused on the choices with SQL Server.
Thanks.

I am testing some maintenance tasks sql commands such as index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check on a SQL Server 2014 Database. This is a new non-production vendor database (DB Size 500 GBs, Log Size 25 GBs) which eventually will be created in production. Currently, it is in full recovery model and without log backups. The database has a whole lot of indexes. I am just trying to rebuild and reorganize all the indexes (that need it), in addition to trying to get an idea of how long these maintenance task will take and the space needed in the log file to complete these tasks/commands. I would like to execute these tasks manually (the first time) to gather the duration and space required information. Eventually, I would probably schedule a weekly job to perform this maintenance.
I ran the index rebuild task on the database and noticed that the log file grew by over 50 GBs. I killed the process and truncated and shrunk the log file back down.
1. Does the index rebuild, index reorg, update statistics and db integrity check commands all use the log file?
2. Does Indexs Reorg have less impact on log file then Index Rebuild?
3. Should a truncate log and shrink log file be performed after these maintenance commands?
4. Should a full database backup be performed after these maintenance commands? Or before the maintenance commands?
I have read and understand that shrinking is not good for the database (could lead to more fragmentation and more data file growth when data is added) and I know about rebuilding indexes when fragmentation is GT 30% and reorganizing indexes when fragmentation is GT 5% and LE 30%.
Since this is a non-production database maybe I should set the recovery model to simple, run the maintenance commands and leave the database in simple recovery model unless the vendor needs it in full recovery model for some unknown reason.
5. With the simple recovery model the log file should be reused in a circular manner and not grow during these maintenance tasks. Is this correct?

Hello ,
I want to know how can i can use the bcp coomand to import a text file into a SQL database table . The text file contains info. like servername , date , time , logininfo and description .
The problem is i cannot import that file into the table through data import wizard . The wizard is not able to separate the fields properly and the import takes place with mixed up data in different columns . The separator in the text file is colon . I even tried fixed length with manual column separation .
The text in the text file are not aligned properly as these are log files generated by the system which i am trying to import in a table .
So how can use the bcp command to specify the column length properly and seperate the fields uniformly so that the data gets imported neatly .
Any thoughts how could the command look like ?
Thank you very much .
Anita.

Hi all,
I want to use the BCP utility to import data from a .dat file into my database. The .dat file contains a table called xv_Appointments containing the following fields:
AppointmentKey
SurgerySlotKey
PatientKey
Cancelled
Continuation
Deleted
TimeArrived
I would like to import only two of these fields into a table called tbl_Appointments e.g.
AppointmentKey
TimeArrived
I can't seem to get the BCP util to do this. It only works if I import all of the fields from xv_Appointments. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks

I am currently in the process of transfering data from an existing SQL 6.5 server to new box. Both boxes have SQL 6.5 with SP4. I having a problem with a paticular database transfer. The Database/Object transfer utility starts and then about 20% in it says that it is complete. The transfer creates all the objects in the new server but does not transfer the data. I have manually transferred the data but I am curious if anyone else has had this problem or if this is a known bug. Just curious. Thanks

I am trying to do BCP from a comma separator .txt file to upload it into two tables. That is I want the first row (4 columns of header details ) into one table and from the second row (21 columns each of detail rows) to be uploaded into another table. I have written a batch file to upload the header details by giving the first and last column as 1.It is working fine. But when I try to upload the detail rows into another table by giving the first row as 2, the bcp is not able to read from the second row. It skips the second row and reads from the third row. This happens for all separators like pipeline separators also.So to avoid this I have to give blank 21 separators(i.e. , or |) in the second row to avoid the loss of data. Please provide a solution for this, as I cannot insist my customer to provide me a text file with blank comma in the second row.
Thanks and Regards,

The following webpage desribes the rs utility:-
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162839.aspx
And it says that rs supports the optional parameter, -ltimeout
Can someone tell me what this timeout does/means?
We are passing in a VB.NET script file that reads an XML file that executes a series of reports. Does the timeout apply to the whole VB.NET script file, or to the individual execution of each report?
Can you also tell me, what happens if it times-out? Does SQL Server kill the SQL job generating the report? Or does it just disconnect the client from the server leaving the job to continue generating the report?
Thanks

Hi guys,
I'm trying to use the bcp utility to transfer data from an SQL Server table (CUSTOMERS) to a text file (test.txt).
Here is what I have:
DECLARE @FileName varchar(50)
SET @FileName = 'C: est.txt'
EXEC bcp BAirwaysDB..CUSTOMERS out @FileName -S<servername> -T
only I keep getting the error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
Incorrect syntax near '.'.
and when running:
bcp BAirwaysDB..CUSTOMERS out C: est.txt -S<servername> -T
on the command line I get:
SQLState = 28000, NativeError = 18456
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'RIVERAMelanie'.
SQLState = 42000, NativeError = 4060
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Cannot open database "BAirways" requested by the login. The login failed.
Can you see where I'm going wrong with this? Any feedback would be really appreciated.
Thank you

I have been successful at setting up three or four DTS packages to runusing the DTSrun command line utility and the Windows scheduler untilnow. The latest package gives me the following error no matter what Itry.Error: -2147217355 (80041035); Provider Error: 0 (0)Error string: General error -2147217355 (80041035).Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) PackageHelp file: sqldts80.hlpHelp context: 705I googled the error but got only two hits, only one of which actuallydiscussed the error. That one talked about the security and ID contextof the system agent but I can't even run the package from the commandline, never mind using the Windows chron. The DTS command line I'musing looks like this:DTSRun /S MyServerInstance /R DBName /N MyDTSPacakgeName /EVariations included /U MyUserName /P MyPassWord and a couple others.Next step would have been to use /!Y and /!C to create an encoded batchfile to use for the Windows scheduler.Any help would be most appreciated.Randy

I'm getting some errors when I run rs.exe from command line with regard to Parameters, and was hoping I might get some help here. I'm somewhat new to RS. I'm running SQL 2000 and RS 2000 on a Windows 2003 Server.
Here is my script:

As you can see, right now I've got all 5 report parameters hard-coded.
Here is the command line that I'm using as well as the error that I receive:

Any insight that anyone can provide is greatly appreciated.

I have a Requirement where I want to backup my ReportServer key evey night to a file. Not sure if there is already any utility available on the internet but when I went to createa simple utility I was stuck where I dont have a way to run the rskeymgmt command silently.
Does anybody know of such a utility which can be scheduled on a nightly basis or alternatively is there a way where one can run the RsKeymgmt utility from the command prompt with out being prompted for the "Are you sure want to extract the key from the Report Server? Yes (y)/ No (n)"

In my transactional push replication I had differences, which were reported correctly by the utility tbalediff.
I created with the tablediff utility all necessary statements to correct them.
Afterwards I ran tablediff again to check if everything is ok.
It wasn't, I got a lot of mismatches.
The reason for those mismatches are columns from type "float". It looks like that float values are not generated correctly in insert statements. We had differences in the values and from that point on we have mismatches.
Does anyone has an idea how to get rid of those reported mismatches?!?!
I will report this also as a bug.

ok. so, i've gotten the bcp utility to work and now i'd like to string all the prompts together and place them in a job to be scheduled to autorun. i don't have much experience in this arena and appreciate any help or suggestions. I'd love to be able to run (from the command prompt) a file takes care of synchronizing all my tables.
I have an additional concern. I'd like to retain the integrity of my primary keys but I notice that if i delete the information then add new, my primary key starts where it leaves off (in other words, if del. then synch. a table with 6 records, after the synch. my primary key increments starting at7). Is there a way, using the bcp util. to update records based on the primary key, copy the key verbatim, or a way to configure the table to help out with this? I know if i drop and recreate the tables as part of the job, i'm good to go but is there away around that step?
