Tracing , History And Analyzing DTS Package
Nov 15, 2007
Hi guys,
We have 2 databases: DataBaseSource and DatabaseDestination. We need to truncate all the data in DatabaseDestination and put all the data from DataBaseSource into DatabaseDestination.
What is the best way to do that, we have a lot of data?
And what is the best way if we also need to keep a trace of what happened in case we wanna go back and see what happened.
Also , pls, if we use DTS, is it possible that if someone wants to see what the DTS does, is it possible to read the DTS? I mean if I give a dts to sompeone, a new DBA guy in 2 years for example, how can he know what a certain DTS does? I mean does SQL 2005 put the DTS packaege scripts somewhere or is there a friendly way to know what a DTS dsoes exactly?
Also the trace to see if something went bad is important for us?
Sory if i didn t express myself well enough, and thanks a lot for your help.
Rachid.

Hello,I'm currently working on debugging a very large DTS package that wascreated by someone else for the purpose of importing data into mycompany's database. The data is mainly user/contact-related data forour customer base.We ran into problems when one import, of about 40,000 rows, tookupwards of six hours to complete. Many of the stored procedures usedby this package were written using XML. I've re-written many of themusing native SQL to see if that improves the performance, but I'mgetting some errors that I haven't been able to diagnose.Instead of asking about my specific errors, I'd like to know moregenerally what ways are there to debug DTS packages and storedprocedures? I'm aware of, and experienced with SQL Profiler but it'snot giving me the info I need. I need the ability to see exactly whatvalues are being passed to every call to a stored procedure fromwithin the DTS package or another stored procedure.I've used it very successfully to debug .asp, .aspx, .vb and the like,but right now I'm running it while running this huge stored procedurethat is called by the DTS package and does the lion's share of thework, including multiple updates and inserts into about 10 tables.The problem is, I see the calls to the "sub-procedures" from the mainone, but I can't see the values of any of the input or outputparameters. Instead ofInsert_Contact 'John', 'Q', 'Smith', '333-333-3333'......etc.I seeInsert_Contact @FirstName, @Initial, @LastName, @PhoneNumber......etc.My trace includes Stored Procedure events:RPC: CompletedRPC: StartingSP: StartingSP: StmtCompletedSP: StmtStartingand TSQL:Exec Prepared SQLPrepare SQLSQL: BatchCompletedSQL: StmtStartingI figured with these I would've covered the bases but I don't see anyof the parameters, which is critical for my debugging, as some of themare not being properly set.Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!TIA,Mike

Has anyone written routines to analyze sysjobhistory? I'm looking for a tool/routine to analyze jobs for failures, trends (such as constantly increasing run times) and other information. It's not as straighforward as I had originally hoped it would be.
I am specifically prohibited from using any 3rd-party tools (too expensive per mgmt).
I would be grateful for any input/insight.
Regards,
hmscott

Hi All,
I am going over the output of a Profiler trace and I've found that the duration for many occurrences of EventClass 15 (Logout) is several seconds, up to a maximum of 20 seconds. That seems excessive just to complete a logout, so my question is, does the duration figure reflect only the time to complete the logout operation or does it include the total time that the connection has been active for?
Thanks in advance

I have to duplicate a bunch of reports that were produced by a VB6 app. Now I'm using C#, ASP.net and Crystal Reports via VS2003. Each executes a stored procedure in SQL Server (before and now).
For each report I have a Stored Procedure and a View. The View's SQL code is identical to the Stored Procedure except that the two input parameters (startDate and endDate) are removed because Views don't allow parameters.
Some of the reports work perfectly right off the bat. But others are timing out. My initial test of the timing out is to just display the View. If it fails then I know that the the report engine will fail too.
So now I'm trying out the SQL Query Analyzer tool to execute the code in one of the Views. It's now at 29 minutes and still going - at least it hasn't timed out!
My question is this: Is there a way I could examine what's going on with the query to see why it's taking so long?

For one of our SQL server 2005 Ent edition 64 bit SP4 which has transnational replication set up and used for heavy reporting, i was trying to counter out the performance of slow running queries which basically runs and get suspended and most often are seeing waiting:So i tried to analyse the wait stats and come up with below stats where ASYNC_NETWORK_IO dominated for a collection of two weeks data.

I am trying to setup a means to analyze our servers using SQL Server 2005 Data Mining. I will be collecting all the logs from the Event Log of each server and store them in a SQL Server database for analysis.
Has anybody done this before? Can you give some pointers? I would appreciate your assistance.

For one of our database we have an issue where its log file got increased rapidly last week on Fri and Sat. The database is on SQL Â server 2008 R2 with compatibility level at 80. Please see below log grow events :
First, we thought Index maintenance like Re-index and update stats could have been the reason, but when check the schedule that job ran on 16th using below code:
USE ABC
GO
EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1="print '?' DBCC DBREINDEX ('?', ' ', 80)"
GOEXEC sp_updatestatsGO
I know above is OLD fashioned, but we believe that should not be the major cause here? How can i determine what happened on 14th and 15th which cause the event to trigger and log file bumps to 80 and 70 GB both days.

I need to discover the actual order in which locks are acquired on a table during a query.
This with a goal of analyzing the lock order of queries against the same table to prevent deadlocks.
I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2.
From Management Studio I execute:
begin transaction
<my query>
exec sp_lock
rollback transaction
In the output I see interesting information about which locks are acquired, but:
- are this locks ordered by the time they're acquired? That is, can I be sure that lock at row n is acquired before lock at row n+1?
- if not, how can I get this information?

I would greatly appreciate any help with this problem, as I've been digging thru every resource I can find looking for a solution with no luck.
I'm going to be monitoring a database for all SQL statements containing INSERT, DELETE, or UPDATE. I'm grabbing the user name, time, and the entire text of the query. I can already do this programmatically, no problem. The problem lies in this. When I set up a trace on SQL Server 2000 using the system stored procedures sp_trace_create, sp_trace_setfilter, etc, and set the trace to save to a trace file, I find that I must first stop the trace then close the trace before I can use fn_trace_gettable to get the information that I want. However, this is undesirable, because this database may be accessed worldwide, and stopping the trace to read the data could cause the trace to miss some users making changes. Does anyone know how that I could get my trace data into a table so that I can just run queries on that table to get my data? It's very important that I not stop the trace to do this. Thanks for your help!

I am fairly new to SQL Server. I am writing a tool in stored procedureto identify locks in a table. I have already written the basic frameworkof the SP. It will reside in master database and take two inputs. Databasename and table name. From that it will show all locks at that instanton that table of that database. If table name is omitted, then it will showlocks on all tables.I am using syslockinfo, spt_values tables and joining with SP_WHO procedureto get the table name, user name and the session id.Now what I need is to find out which SQL is causing the lock and since whenlock is being held on the table. Which tables in master database holds therequired information.TIA.Ravi

Hi,
I am using sp_executesql to get some data but it is not working. Is there a way to actually see the actual statement where subsituted variables are replaced with the actual values.
SET @SQLString = N'SELECT Top(1) @Passenger_OUT = Name, @Ticket_OUT = TicketNumber , @TAN_OUT= [TAN] '
+ N'FROM dbo.Table1 WHERE 1 = 1 '
+ Case @MatchAmount When 1 Then N' and Amount = @BillingAmount ' Else N'' End
+ Case @MatchTicket When 1 Then N' and LTrim(TicketNumber) = STUFF(STUFF(@TicketNumber,Len(@TicketNumber)-@RemoveRight+1,@RemoveRight,''''),1,@RemoveLeft,'''') ' Else N'' End
+ Case @DaysDiff When 0 Then N'' Else N' and DATEDIFF(d,@BillingDate , InvoiceDate) <= @DaysDiff ' End
+ Case @MatchName When 1 Then N' and Left(Name,@CharsToMatch) = Left(@PassengerName, @CharsToMatch) ' Else N'' End ;
SET @ParmDefinition = N'@BillingAmount decimal, @TicketNumber varchar(15), @RemoveRight tinyint, @RemoveLeft tinyint, @BillingDate datetime, @DaysDiff tinyint, @CharsToMatch tinyint, @PassengerName varchar(35), @Passenger_OUT varchar(35) OUTPUT, @Ticket_OUT varchar(15) OUTPUT, @TAN_OUT varchar(25) OUTPUT';
EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQLString, @ParmDefinition,@BillingAmount=@BillingAmount, @TicketNumber=@TicketNumber, @RemoveRight=@RemoveRight, @RemoveLeft=@RemoveLeft, @BillingDate=@BillingDate, @DaysDiff=@DaysDiff , @CharsToMatch=@CharsToMatch, @PassengerName=@PassengerName, @Passenger_OUT=@Passenger_new OUTPUT, @Ticket_OUT=@Ticket_new OUTPUT, @TAN_OUT=@TAN_new OUTPUT;
Print @SQLString will gives the statement with variables and I need to see the actual data plugged in during runtime.
If I take the ouput of @SQLString and run it myself by adding variables it works fine
Thanks

There is a bug in one of the service packs where Profiler (7.0) only traces one server (regardless of the server you tell it to trace). Can anyone tell me how to fix this or point me to a KB article? I thought this was fixed in SQL 7 SP 3, however I'm experiencing this problem with SP3 installed.

SQL 7 profiler has an event in the Misc. category of Failed Login. It does not, or at least I cannot get it to, produce any output when a failed login occurs. Any hints?
I tried this because every week or so I get this in the error log:
Login failed for user 'Admin'.
It occurs several hundred times within a minute or so. It obviously has to be an automated process as you couldn't click a button or press a key 13 times a second.
The login does not exist as a SQL login so I can't tell which database it is trying to get at. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Hi There,
I hope someone can assist me in tracing the cause of a problem I am experiencing. I have a Web Server with ASP's querying the SQL Server 6.50.416 database. There is only one user db on this machine and yet I am running out of User Connections (current setting 2000) and memory (128MB RAM). Also, NT repeatedly experiences Stack Dumps. I have used the PRINTDMP utility to try and trace the cause of the error. The "Input Buffer" section of the Stack Dump (symptom dump) contains the following:
SELECT FK_SUB_PRODUCT_GROUPING, FK_SUB_PRODUCT_NAME FROM RESOLUTION_PRODUCT_SUB_PRODUCT WHERE FK_PRODUCT_CODE=1072 order by FK_SUB_PRODUCT_GROUPING
Is this SQL Statement the cause of the Stack Dump? Does anyone have any other ideas on what may be causing my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a very simple piece of code (see below) which when executed sometimes takes around 7 minutes and sometimes around 3.5 hours. the difference is that during the 3.5 hours there is a lot of querying of the table being updated. But I don't know how to find out if this is the case. How can I find out whether my process is waiting (for locks or for any other reason) - is there a trace or debug facility within the tandard Microsoft Toolset which I can use.
Regards
Colin

Guys,what I need is a tool which gives details on the choice of anexecution plan by the SQL Server. For example, the cost for a hashjoin might be 200 and 100 for a nested loop, and therefore a nestedloop is used. Same thing for the access paths for each table/viewinvolved. In Oracle, we turn on event 100053 to see this kind of info.ThanxDaniel
