Sysprocesses Memusage Sleeping
Nov 3, 2005
I was trying to find the bottle neck on our server while we were
running a couple very large updates.
I ran the following query and noticed there were a couple sleeping
spid's that were really eating up the memory. One had a value of
16000.
I guess my question is was this query still holding on to that memory
even though the query had finished? Why didn't SQL Server clean it up?
select spid
,substring(Loginame,1,10) Login
,memusage
,substring(hostname,1,15) Host
,program_name
,cmd
,status
from master..sysprocesses
order by memusage desc

Hi everyone,I'm a bit new til ms sql server and hope that anyone here can answer aquestion I have. I'm running a ms sql server 7.0.

When I do asp_who I find alot of the processes (or sids) with the statussleeping? Can anyone please tell med what this means, and is it ok forme to kill these processes? Since this is happening quite often Iwould like to make a script that automatically kills all sleepingprocesses, is this ok?Looking forward to hearing from anyone!B'regSql server newbee

Hi,
The column waittype of master..sysprocesses table contains binary numbers.
I am looking for their codes. I know that Microsoft has published these codes for SQL Server 7 (here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;244455 ), but I need the codes of SQL Server 2000.
And yes, I've checked spt_values - they are not there.
Any help will be appreciated,
Thanks,
kukuk.

My application was written in SQL 2000 where a non-dbo account could see all logged in users. Is there some way I can do this in SQL 2005?
Here is the query I run in SQL 2000:
SELECT spid
FROM master.dbo.sysprocesses, master.dbo.syslogins
WHERE master.dbo.sysprocesses.sid = master.dbo.syslogins.sid
AND master.dbo.sysprocesses.dbid = db_id()
AND LOWER(master.dbo.syslogins.name) IN ('grnl_security','log_security')
Right now, my application (where many users log in with gnrl_security) can only see thier own SPID; but I need to see all logged on SPIDS.
I have tried adding a SELECT permission to the new sysprocesses view for user grnl_security.

On SQL Server 6.5, we tried to track down the owner of a process,which was hogging the CPU. Using Currently Activity Detail, we went to the hostname that seemed to be the culprit, but the users had not accessed SQL Server in a few days. Where is SQL Server get the hostname from? We are on an NT4.0 network, using DHCP.

I'm doing an update on a table with about 113m rows, the update-statement is fairly simple: update tab set col = null where col is not null.
The col column is mostly null.
Sysprocesses shows three rows for this statement: 1 CXPACKET (its a dual processor, 2000 box with sp3 installed), 2 PAGEIOLATCH_SH (waitresource is filled). My guess would be that the where-clause is executed in a seperate process blocking the update.
I changed the statement into update [...] set col = null; sysprocesses shows one row with PAGEIOLATCH_SH. Executing forever.
I checked other processes including those outside sqlserver but none are using the db, let alone accessing the table involved. Even restarted sqlserver to be sure there's no dead process blocking the update. Didn't help.
So I added a search condition to the where-clause, involving a clustered index in order to reduce the rowcount. The execution plan shows a 97% hit on the clustered index, but sysprocesses shows the three rows again...
So far the profiler didn't help me out either: there's a SP: CacheInsert on the update-statement... then nothing.
What should I do?

ok, I have a requirement where I need to get a list of sql commands currently being blocked.
This is very easy to do via stored procedure, and I have it working well using a vb.net console app to fire it off.
Trouble is, I need to ship it to different offices on an ad hoc basis. I don't want to install a stored procedure on each site because it'll be a one off job and there is not likely to be anyone available who would know how to even install a new sp. So, I thought I'd try and pull back the sql commands via a select statement, joining together sysprocesses and the fn_get_sql udf. This returns a table, so I presumed I could join the two together using a subquery via the sql_handle with something like this :
SELECT sql_handle,
(
SELECT top 1 [text] FROM ::fn_get_sql(sysprocesses.sql_handle)
) as sqlcommand
FROM master..sysprocesses
The error back is incorrect syntax near 'sysprocesses'. I can't see if I'm doing anything obvious wrong.
Anyone any ideas? I'm using SQL Server 2000 sp3.

Hi,
We have written various applications that have a connection table for managing users logins, we have a connect stored proc that inserts the SIPD and the login time from sysprocesses.
From time to time we clean up our connections table by queryng against the SPID and login_time in sysprocesses and clear it if these don't match. This has been fine for a few years, howver we have found recently with a client that with some SPID's in sysprocesses that SQL server is changing the login time, this is unexpected behaviour.
The client is using SQL server 2005 and this has caused us problems, we have worked around it for now but wondered if anyone new why on this particular setup why the login time would change even though they have not disconnected.
We have other clients using SQL 2005 but have never seen this issue before, I wondered if there was a setting we have not seen that can cause this.
Thanks

In SQL Server 2000 you can monitor active processes by looking at the sql_handle column in sysprocesses. In SQL Server 2005 BOL says sql_handle ...
Represents the currently executing batch or object.
In SQL 2000 a non-zero value in sql_handle indicated an active process. You could not simply rely on the status column to check for an actively running process. This is not the case in 2005. I ran a profiler trace to confirm that just because sql_handle reports a non-zero value does not mean the corresponding process is active. Does anyone know why this has changed and how we are now to interpret sql_handle in 2005? Why are non-zero entries reported for processes that are not currently running?
Thanks, Dave

Hello friends,
Despiste what it is mentioned in B.O.L., in the Table SYSPROCESSES, the column KPID has almost always the value 0 !!!
If anyone knows how I can find the right link between a SPID and the corresponding KPID, I shoud be very happy to know to.
It concerns SQL SERVER 2000 under WINDOWS 2000 SP3.
Thanks in advance for any help about that ...

Does anyone knows how the field NET_ADDRESS in the master.dbo.sysprocesses table is encoded ?
May I extract the IP address or MAC address from that field ?

If an MS SQL 2005 Connection is sleeping in the activity monitor, does it mean it's not closed? I'm pretty sure it's closed, just want to confirm. Lately, our DB server got hammered with requests and it reached max-pool size (we implemented caching after that).

what does the sleeping process will do
I am running the following stored procedure
the cpu value is increasing by time.
I am killing old process manually.
How to stop the sleeping processing.
CREATE PROCEDURE SP_MONITOR2 AS
select spid, hostname,cpu,status,datediff(mi,last_batch,getdate ())Diff_in_Min
from sysprocesses
where hostname <>'' and
last_batch <>'1900-01-01 00:00:00.000'
order by Diff_in_Min desc
the output is
spid hostname cpu status Diff_in_Min

Hi,
I have written an application in VB6 connecting to a SQL Server 2000 database using ADO. This app is running on the same computer as SQL Server.
What I am seeing now is that each day 2-3 new connections are being created by SQL and these connections have a "sleeping" status and "AWAITING COMMAND" command. Also, when double-clicking a
connection, it's last TSQL statement is empty... This way, connections are piling up.
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and what I can do to avoid this ? Also, how can I determine what is causing this ?
Many thanks,
Jurgen Sanders

A developer came over and asked me a couple of things
1. Can C# not cleanup SPIDs and just open new ones lieing around
2. Do a large number of spids, even if they are sleeping, cause performance issues?
3. What's the Max # of spids sql server can handle?
BOL ain't too helpful right now

Guys,
I need to send a group of people a list of specific processes running on the server, one of the requirements is to send them what's actually being ran on the machine. I have the information I was on the sysprocess tabke and the results of the DBCC Inputbuffer. Is there a way to link both result sets?
This is the criteria of the processes that neeed to be sent out to my users:
SELECT *
FROM master.dbo.sysprocesses p
WHERE last_batch < DATEADD(mi, -5, GETDATE())
AND dbo.fncGetNumLocks(p.spid, DB_ID('EngDataMart')) > 1
GROUP BY p.spid, p.loginame, p.hostname, dbo.fncGetNumLocks(p.spid, db_id('DBName'))
ORDER BY p.spid
Thanks,

I have processes running on the server that show a status of "sleeping" from sp_who and sysprocesses, however they are still running. I run sp_who over and over again and only occasionally the process status shows running, and then switches back to "sleeping" or "defwakeup". I know what all the statuses mean, I just don't know why a running process would ever show as "sleeping". The processes take a very very long time to run as well.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

I find the status by Management -> Activity monitor...
Please help me with it...
Has there been anything wrong while setting up Sql Server ?

Hi all,
We have a web application with multiple users connecting to SQL Server 2005 database.
Once the users start using the system, I could see in the Process Info from the activity monitor with a several process with status as sleeping and command as Awaiting Command.
I have few questions regarding this for which simple answers would help me ( I searched and couldnt understand from the pages that explained the process information )
My questions are,
1. Does the processes with status sleeping and command as Awaiting Command are needed for the application even after the operations specific to them are complete?
2. Does these process affect the performance ?
3. Does killing these process would affect the application connectivity ?
4. Why do we get several process with status sleeping and command as Awaiting Command? Is this because of the front end programming errors ?
5. What should we do to avoid the increasing number of process with status sleeping and command as Awaiting Command?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
DBLearner.

Dear, Our ASP.NET scripts send SQL statements (as inline SQL or SP) to process the requested job. After the job execution, the process ID stays in the server and waits for next command with sleeping status.Since this process does not go away, next job adds another process and eventually, the server is overloaded with these processes and dies. How can I kill this sleeping processes?Regards,Echo

Hi
We just installed SQL service pack 4. I am now finding that when doing a sp_who2 active, there are a lot of connections that are blocked by itself. The common factor is they all have a status of 'sleeping'. The strange thing is that even though it shows the connection is blocked, it is in fact not and will still return results. Below is a snapshot of a portion of what the sp_who2 active returns:
SPID Status Login HostName BlkBy DBName
53 sleeping sa TRACKER 53 dbABC
58 sleeping sa TRACKER 58 dbCDE
64 sleeping sa TRACKER 64 dbSTA
66 RUNNABLE User12 PC24 . master
70 sleeping User5 ANALYSIS 70 dbBML
74 sleeping sa TRACKER 74 dbCDE
76 sleeping sa TRACKER 76 dbPTS
83 sleeping User5 ANALYSIS 83 dbANA
86 DORMANT User11 CPTDB . NULL
Has anyone seen this? Is it related to the installation of service pack 4? (We have installed the services pack on many other SQL servers, but have not come accross this before.
Tx,
TessZA

I am using SQL Server 2000. In Enterprise Mgr, under Management/CurrentActivity, I see a list SPIDs.I have a multi-tiered .NET web app that uses ADO.NET to connect to thedatabase. Each time a Stored Proc is called, a new connection is opened, thedata retreieved, and the connection closed and set to Nothing (in VB.NET).Yet, I see several (15 or so) SPIDs for the user ID that the web app uses toconnect to the database.The database is local and private, so I know all connections are from me.What does Status=SLEEPING Command=Waiting Command mean?What will happen when we get 1000's users on the web app?Is SQL doing some kind of connection pooling?

Has anyone done this and about pulled thier hair out?
I downloaded visual express for web development with sql express. Running fine. Like SQL so much, decided to pop for the Developer package. I don't know what I was thinking, maybe I was going to pay for popcorn for billy g & family in the home theatre that night...but I digress.
After much consternation and a 4:00 a.m. adventure, I managed to get rid of SQL Express and install the developer edition. Now were fine. Even ran the aspnet_regsql and set up the aspnetdb database.
I'm thinking, back to development here.
I select APP_DATE and if I try to add the ASPNETDB.mdf file I get the application is being used by another process. Please close all applications that might access this file and try again. So, I then try to create a new database file. I get this error:
Connections to SQL Server Files ( *.mdf) require the SQL Server Express 2005 to function properly.
I can create a connection to the aspnetdb database in the database connections. However, as I work with some of the new ASP NET Membership/Role code, I find it doesn't work.
Will most code work if the ASPNETDB.mdf is not set up int he APP_DATA section?
Come on Microsoft, I can't be the only shoe-string developer that is going to try this.
Has anyone done this and resolved how to get these two to play along.
If I upgrade to Visual Studio, will I still be straddled with SQLExpress.
Can I run SQLExpress side by side with SQL Developer addition?

str = "select nt_username, hostname, nt_domain, loginame, login_time, program_name " &
"from master.sys.sysprocesses where spid=@@SPID"
-This is the Query to display the username in the application.
-The client is MS-Access 2003, MDAC 2.8
-It was and is Ok both on SQL 2005 and SQL 2000. The qury runs under Query Analyzer 2000 or Management Studio 2005 without problem
-After Downloading the updates from Microsot Website. The embedded code returns no result set:

During our DR drill we found that the same code which used to run perfectly fine on our Primary Data Centre is running very slow on Disaster Recovery DB Server and there are Lot's of open transaction with sleeping status and waittype as 'AWAITING COMMAND'.CPU, Memory and disk utilization are good. The ping reply between the app server and the DB server is well within the limit's even blocking is not their, also nothing is reported in the error logs. We are using SQL server 2014 STD 64 BIT on Windows Server 2012.

At one of your client sides we have configured Always on with synchronous mode.Also we have schedule rebuild index and update statistics job which runs in night every alternate day. the issue is there are more then 100 sleeping queries which is blocking update statistics job.
I have to stop update statistics job manually once i come to office manually.
Once I have killed blocking sleeping query but then other sleeping query blocked it and so on.
