View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I'm looking into the possibility of buying (as I doubt there's any good free options) a SQL Server Monitoring tool.
Has anyone got any particular recommendations - good or bad? I know a little about Spotlight, but not much else.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We are evaluating proactive monitoring tools for our heterogeneous database environment, currently comprising of Sybase and MS SQL Server.
Our current options are Bradmark Surveillance, Quest Foglight/Spotlight, MOM (SQL Server only) & Embarcadero Performance Center.
Are there any recommended tools from your experience? Or any tools with with you have had bad experience?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to know if there are any tools that will allow
a DBA to monitor changes that occur on SQL databases
(deletion, addittion or modifications) on any objects,
and Sql security.
I have looked at Profiler in SQL and it is very limited
and plus it is huge memory hog and causes degradation on
your servers.
We've got about fifty MSSQL Servers (7.0 and 2000) in our shop.
Can anybody recommend a good tool to monitor all kind of activities and conditions on those servers?
Hi, gurus:
Please tell me some third parts monitoring tools for MS SQL server 2000.
I have been using the built-in tools of SQL Server (email and netsend) to monitor and alert me about some basic issues (like severity errors and job failures) with our SQL servers. We are now approaching a level and number of servers where I think we need to get a more global and more stable solution to monitoring and alerting.
So what third party tools are you are using to monitor your SQL Servers?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm looking for tool that will help me to monitor and analyze SQL server performance including SQL activities and server activities(cpu, memory usage) as well.
I appriciate any feedback,
Thank you,

I'm fairly new to the DBA thing.
I've been doing quite a bit of research on monitoring MSSQL performance.
What tools are you guys using?
PerfMon, Dbartisan, Spotlight, or what?
I'd like to find some free or affordable way to watch our Servers to check health/performance/etc.
I'm a relative newbie to SQL Server so pardon me if this is dumb. However....
Microsoft provides a visual database tool for designing a query. The only way I know of firing up this utility is from EM. To get to it you must drill down to the table level and say "Open Table...Query" to get to it. Is there an easier way to get to this? Or am I missing something? Doesn't it make sense that when you are in Query Analyzer that you should be able to easily go into the Visual Query Designer since that's all your doing in QA is designing queries??? A toolbar button would be nice. Maybe I haven't worked with it enough and there is a way.
Any help is appreciated.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWe are in plan to build a Monitoring tool using PowerShell and Performance Monitor which could monitor 10 to 20 servers. Do you have any reference of any existing tool using Performance Monitor to monitor the SQL Server and available for free? I didn't want to put some effort, if something is available already.
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan anybody help me with the following on my MS SQL Server 2000 database.
1. All tables should have a lastModificationDate column. Any changes and inserts should have the system time updated with a trigger or so. We shouldn’t be inserting the value using SQL statements into this column.
2. There shouldn’t be any deletes on the table. Any deleted records should be marked as inactive or deleted, so it won’t come in queries, but should be physically present in the tables.
3. A modification log table, which will carry the table name, the column identifier, user modified, old value and the timestamp.
Thanks

Hello,
I am currently running sql 2005 express on a W2k3 server, 4G ram. I would also like to install a named instance of SQL 2005 Developer Edition on this machine. Is this ok to do? I am assuming that I can access all of the instances through the SQL Server Management Studio, is that correct?
Thanks

In any asp.net application, whats the simplest way to monitor how many times a page hits the database (opens and closes a connection)?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn SQL Server 6.5 what can you use to monitor the size of you database?
I know you can use the SQLPerfMon counters to constantly check the percentage of the log spaced used, I was just hoping there was a similar counter for the database size because I want to generate a system event when the database gets 80% full. Is there such a utility??
Hi,We have several Access database that we would over time plan to convertto SQL. I am looking for a tool that works better than the upsizewizard in helping with the transition - I am looking for somethingreliable yet reasonably priced.Thanks in advance for all your helpKR

Does 2005 have some kind of new feature that audits/monitors changes to a database kind of like an antivirus or something.
Reason for question:
1) inserting records into database, 1000 records takes about 2 minutes.
2) reading those 1000 records takes about 45 seconds
3) updating those 1000 records takes about 15 minutes
4) yes we are using ntwdblib.dll and a 4gl language
i was running a test program to add, read, update, delete 1000 records and that is when i noticed that insert, update, delete took a performance hit whereas reading didnt. i ran my test program on a control server (in house) and then at the clients side(matching OS, MSSQL 2005 SP2). Results from test program: The UPDATE process on client side took about 4x longer, INSERT about 2x longer, DELETE about 1.5x longer, READ was actually faster on the clients system.
so this made me wonder if their was some kind of database monitoring/auditing going on.
I have trying to access a 2nd SQL Server instances running on my WHS 2011 server from my Windows 8.1 Pro client.
The first SQL Server instance I installed is SQL Server 2014 Developer. This has been in place for many months and access from my client pc is not a problem. The Developer instance was installed using standard settings so uses TCP port 1433 and I have verified this by checking the firewall rules. This instance name is <SERVERNAME>
As I want to host a personal website on my server I installed SQL Server 2014 Express as a 2nd instance on my WHS 2011 box for website database purposes. After this installation both instances are accessible via Management Console on the WHS 2011 box.Â
The second instance is named as <SERVERNAME>SQLEXPRESS.
However, I am unable to access the SQLEXPRESS instance using Management Console on my client pc. I know it is a firewall issue as when I turn off the firewall on the WHS 2011 box I can connect successfully. The errors reported have resulted in my trying many things to resolve the problem but none have worked, e.g.
Use the default SQLEXPRESS instance to listen on all TCP ports (default installation option). I checked the necessary firewall rules were set up correctly and they were, i.e. UDP ANY and TCP ANY for the SQLEXPRESS sqlservr.exe file.
Change the default SQLEXPRESS instance to list on a specific TCP port, e.g. 19344
Create an ALIAS for the SQLEXPRESS installation
The instance is definitely set up for Remote Access and is not Hidden.
Are there any other firewall rules I need to apply?
I am developing a process to monitors a table in a high transaction database. The process will count the number of lines in the table to verify if it has changed or it is stuck. Due to the fact that the database has a lot of transaction I don't want to execute a query on database too often.l Is there another suitable way to accomplish this goal ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to be able to view the complete SQL command that is sent from a Microsoft Access query which has linked SQL Server tables through ODBC, and the query also has some VBA functions manipulating and filtering data.I tried using the SQL Profiler to view the sql command send to SQL Server but all I see is the simple query format and some of the fields. I don't see the fields that have a VBA function such as trim(fieldname) etc in the column. And If I use a VBA fucntion in the Criteria then nothing shows up in SQL Profiled under the TextData column.How can I see the complete SQL command sent to SQL Server?

I am running SQL Server 2005 x64 Enterprise under Windows 2003 x64 Enterprise. My current backup strategy uses T-SQL jobs run by SQL Agent (writes out *.bak files) and then I have an Integration Services job that copies the *.bak files to our NAS device. I have performed a restore without issue. The jobs are all automated every four hours via SQL Agent. Is this a sound strategy or are there additional benefits to using 3rd party tools? If so, what are the advantages and which tool provides them?
Login failed for user 'TOSHIBA-USERASPNET'
I know that the file persmission for the web application have to include aspnet, so i keep resetting the folder permission for aspnet in file manager, but the login failed keeps coming back every day or two
problem is after working with VS05 Pro, SQL Server Management Studio CTP, somehow the aspnet persmission get changed, use alot of sqldatasource wizards and often there is a conflict/hang between the datasource wizard and the need to have the mdf in a dettached state within VS server explorer,
not sure but the procedure to fix this seems to be to reboot, detach and re-attach the mdf in the Sql server Studio tool, re-apply the aspnet file permission on the web app folders (wonder should i be doing this in IIS instead), make sure the mdf within server explorer is detached, the it works
anyway, getting real tired of the resulting delays and design time derailment, clues greatly appreciated, thanks
sometimes i can use View in Browser when in VS05 form view and i wont get the aspnet folder permission error and other times i do.
last thing, is it a bad idea to give aspnet full permission for the entire web applicaiton??
