We are running some test on our application which involves long-running transaction in an application that was purchased from a vendor. It is a PB
and we don't have access to all of the code. We are not sure why it runs so slow when we start this long_running process. We are not sure if they are using a stored procedure or not.
We ran updaet statistics becuase alot of data was added before we kicked off the process. We want to capture all of the sql code that is running so we can perhaps add indices.
Under EM, we click on the thread and can get a dialog box that shows the running sql code but the dialog box isn't expandable
THerefore I am wondering if there is a storec provedure or if someone has a script, to see what the complete text of sql is for a running proess? Any shareware tools?
Any information that you can provide will be appreciated. Thanks.

I am facing an issue, while exporting report to excel. I have a report where some legends are being displayed on coversheet using matrix. The contents are fetched from backend.Some of legends have got too much of text while others don't have much.In matrix properties, I checked can increase/decrease to accommodate changes. When report runs in report viewer it shows correctly i.e. it adjusts its width according to contents but when same report is exported to Excel it doesn't happen so. The size of cell is not increasing dynamically, depending upon the data. User needs to expand the cell in order to view the data. So, is there any option by which, we can implement data wrap functionality for matrix, when report is downloaded in excel format.
Try this script to see what queries are taking over a second.To get some real output, you need a long-running query.

I have a ms-sql 2012 for this task. I read that running totals / sum over is better supported here.
There are customers with an account where they can insert or withdraw cash. When they insert, the inserted amount will get a date where it expires. After the expiration date, the cash becomes unavailable.
I'm not sure how to design the tables to meet my needs, but this is my best guess. And below is the first problem in the view.
I've created a DTS package runs on every day and night, but now my boss was asking if I can insert an exception code to check the view file.
So.. I need help from you guys, cause I don't know How.
This is my DTS description.
My DB will generate a view called "Calls to Add", then it will run the Transform Data Task and insert into a txt file. once it finished, it will run the Batch file. that is it.
Now My boss wants me to add a checking code between "View to Txt" procedure. If the view has no record inside, than the DTS package should stop and not run.
Tab_Name & Load_Status columns provides the information about Name of table and status of data getting loaded to this table.
To this I would like to add a column to display the running count in the table, I mean how many records so far loaded, as below the recordCount coming from the same table tbl_collection
One of our developers has written a view which will execute completely (returns ~38,000 rows) in approx 1 min out of SQLMS (results start at 20 sec and completes by 1:10 consistently).
However, if he adds a data flow task in SSIS, adds an OLEDB Data Source and selects Data Access Mode to "Table or view" and then selects the same view, it is consistently taking over 30 minutes (at which point we've been killing it). I can see the activity in the Activity Monitor, it is doing a SELECT * from that view and is runnable the whole time.
If we modify the view to SELECT TOP 10, it returns in a short time.
Has anyone run into this problem? Any suggestions? It is very problematic, as if the views change we have to hack around this problem.
When creating a View, I am able to link the tables togethor and pull the data that I am looking for without a problem. However, when I add a field that is a 'Text' field, I get the following error:
....Column 'dbo.commpay.fdescript' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
If I add it to the GROUP BY clause, then I get the following error:
....The text, ntext and image data types cannot be compared or sorted, except when using IS NULL or LIKE operator.
This particular field is contains the description of the parts in our inventory table.
VIEW Statement:
SELECT dbo.armast.fcinvoice AS Invoice, dbo.commpay.fnCalcComm AS Commission, dbo.commpay.fnrate AS CommRate, dbo.armast.fbcompany AS Company, dbo.commpay.fdarpost AS InvDate, dbo.commpay.fpartno AS PartNum, dbo.commpay.fnamount AS Price, dbo.commpay.fsalespn AS RepID, dbo.commpay.fmdescript AS Description FROM dbo.armast INNER JOIN dbo.commpay ON dbo.armast.fcinvoice = dbo.commpay.fcarinv INNER JOIN dbo.slspns ON dbo.commpay.fsalespn = dbo.slspns.fsalespn GROUP BY dbo.armast.fcinvoice, dbo.commpay.fnCalcComm, dbo.commpay.fnrate, dbo.armast.fbcompany, dbo.commpay.fdarpost, dbo.commpay.fpartno, dbo.commpay.fnamount, dbo.commpay.fsalespn, dbo.commpay.fmdescript
Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to use DTS Transformation to load a test file to a view instead of a table? When I select from the DTS window, only tables are available for selections not the views.
I'm using a view where I do a few things, including merge two short text fields into one. Just wanted to know if there was an alternative way of doing this:
Example: SELECT first_name + ' ' + last_name AS full_name FROM names
It works - but it seems rather blah. Is there something that'd be more "proper"?
In SQL 2005 (we use Enterprise 64-bit SP2), the users cannot see thetext of the stored procedures, functions, etc.This is a production database, so I cannot give them rights to modifythem, but they need to be able to see what the procs are doing.I didn't have this problem in 2000 - how can I adjust the privilegesto allow them to view the contents of the Programmability objects?thanks for any insight!!Tracy
I was wondering if there is any way to view <Long Text> in the data viewer? I have a text data type, and when using the data viewer it just says "<Long Text>". That contains the data I actually want to watch... is there any way to get this?
I am getting following error when query using a full-text index:
select * from workitemlongtexts where Contains(words, 'test');
==error message== Msg 7619, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 The execution of a full-text query failed. "Service is not running."
I have verified that 1. msftesql service is running, 2. I even rebuilt the full-text index and it didn't help 3. my full-text crawl job is running fine 4. my DB is full-text enabled
Can someone explain what "Service" the error refers to? I am using SQL 2005 Ent SP1.
Hi folk.. can some body help me with this problem..???
I have a grid view on a form which has got colums which are set as data combo boxes. and a third column whish is set to a text box. all the 3 controls on the datagrid view are bound with sql server table. they are asociated with two saparate tables within 1 database... now what i want is that the user of the application can select either combo box 1 of teh 2nd combo box. and automatically the syncronize and also the text column asociates with related data..
for example
Country City Pincode India vasco 403802
now while flling the grid vew.. the user can select either country or city.. automatically both syncronize with related data and so does the text box.
I'm creating Indexed view by JOINING multiple tables and trying to create FULL TEXT search index. Unique column is generated by concatenating to ID columns from different table. I can successfully able to create unique index however when trying to create FULLTEXT INDEX getting below error.
"A full-text search key must be a unique, non-nullable, single-column index which is not offline, is not defined on a non-deterministic or imprecise nonpersisted computed column, does not have a filter, and has maximum size of 900 bytes. Choose another index for the full-text key."
The message clearly says the column should be single-column index, non-deterministic.
I have a problem with inserting records into table when an indexed viewis based on it.Table has text field (without it there is no problem, but I need it).Here is a sample code:USE testGOCREATE TABLE dbo.aTable ([id] INT NOT NULL, [text] TEXT NOT NULL)GOCREATE VIEW dbo.aViewWITH SCHEMABINDING ASSELECT [id], CAST([text] AS VARCHAR(8000)) [text]FROM dbo.aTableGOCREATE TRIGGER dbo.aTrigger ON dbo.aView INSTEAD OF INSERTASBEGININSERT INTO aTableSELECT [id], [text]FROM insertedENDGODo the insert into aTable (also through aView).INSERT INTO dbo.aTable VALUES (1, 'a')INSERT INTO dbo.aView VALUES (2, 'b')Still do not have any problem. But when I need index on viewCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX [id] ON dbo.aView ([id])GOI get following error while inserting record into aTable:-- Server: Msg 8626, Level 16, State 1, Procedure aTrigger, Line 4-- Only text pointers are allowed in work tables, never text, ntext, orimage columns. The query processor produced a query plan that requireda text, ntext, or image column in a work table.Does anyone know what causes the error?
What can I do to make OnComplete and OnSuccess mean something in SQL Server 2000 DTS?I have this pretty simple package that imports data into a table from an XLS file, then runs an external console application which manipulates the data and drops into a different table.That data is then used to create a CSV file. If I execute each step individually, the whole thing works. But what it happening is that the end file is being created before the console app is finished.I have a workflow line (on complete) between the 2 processes, but that doesn't seem to mean anything. To run the external app I am just using an active x script task...CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "my file" Any advice?
I have a SQL Server 7 box that is shortly to be rebuilt completely (still on NT4, but with new RAID system), does anyone have any advice on how I can make the transition as painless as possible? Particularly, I want to maintain the backup, security and DTS structures as much as possible.

Hi all - I'm having problems getting a package to run successfully to completion when I schedule it in SQL Server or as a batch file on the Windows scheduler. If I run the package interactively or run the batch file interactively that contains the DTSRUN command it runs to completion. Both packages start with a call to a batch file that FTPs files from a remote server and then they continue on by executing additional DTS packages within the running package. The owner of all the packages involved and is the same user that I am logged in as when running the packages interactively and is the same user that that SQL Agent and the Windows scheduler job runs under. The FTP step of each package does complete successfully but then I cannot trace where the package then hangs. The package never fails but rather it just continues in a Executing/Running state. This is getting extremely frustrating. Any insight in to this problem would be greatly appreciate.
I have a delete statement that works on some servers/databases and not on others. I am running this on SQL Server 2000/Windows 2000. The statment is a very simple DELETE x FROM y WHERE x = 1234. It is only 1 record in one table. The staement begins but never completes. It looks as if it just keeps trying to recompile but goes nowhere. Have any of you ever seen this before? It works on a restore of the database on 1 server, but not on another. It will not run on either production server/database. Is there a parameter or setting that I need to look for that might be different and causing this? I am running the Enterprise edition of SQL Server on some servers, and standard edition on others. Would that make a difference? If so, how and why. I've never had this issue before. We are running Windows Advanced Server on most all of our servers.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Deanna
We are running SQL 6.5 sp5a. There have been a number of instances recently where some scheduled tasks don't complete. I can't even cancel them. The only way to stop them is to stop and start the Executive service.
Anyone come across this before and know what the problem is?
I am having trouble trying to import a big file (aprox 250Mb is size) into an SQL Server database and I keep getting the message:
"Not enough storage is available to complete this operation".
The application tries to import the file by executing a stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_updateMaterialBlob @MaterialId Int, @BLOB image AS BEGIN Update Material SET blob = @blob where id = @materialId END
The application uses an ADO connection. I've tried increasing the memory of the client machine but that didn't work. Whenever I do run the import, nearly all the memory on the machine is used up but every time after several hours I get the same error message. What is the cause of the problem and how do I resolve it? Ideally I want to use my application to do the import rather than anything bespoke.
I was given the task of writing a new website for my boss. problem being he wants the ability have a custom user signup form and then a picture gallery of service with comments listed off each one. I was also asked to produce this in .aspx with SQL. only one small glitch, never worked with either of them.... I have designed most of the database requirements off of examples I found online but have not found how to post data from the users signup form to the database correctly and retrieve it for the customers profile. any suggestions???? all help on this will be greatly appreciated
Hello all! A while ago I started cataloging my collection of old radio recordings and I wrote a simple Visual Basic 2005 program to display them in a nice UI. I have implemented an SQL database with the project and all is fine, when I run the program it connects to the sql server and downloads the data. But when I try and change something by connecting from within Visual Basic at runtime with this code:
Private Sub Save_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Save.Click Dim ConnectionString As New SqlConnection("Server=MARK-HOMESQLEXPRESS;Database=Library.mdf;Uid=MARK-HOMEMark;Pwd=sodoff;") Dim sqlString As String ConnectionString.Open() sqlString = "UPDATE JackBenny SET Rating='Excellent' WHERE [Episode Number]=" & epNumber ConnectionString.BeginTransaction(sqlString) ConnectionString.Close() End Sub
I get this error code in the log and a general unable to login error within Visual basic itself:
2007-11-22 15:44:39.78 Logon Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 5. 2007-11-22 15:44:39.78 Logon Login failed for user 'Mark'. [CLIENT: <local machine>
The state of 5 refers to "User ID is not valid." but I can login to SQL Server Management Studio Express just fine with the username and password in the code posted. Also of note, I can login to the Server Managment with the sa account username and password. When I use the credentials in visual basic code, same error. Any ideas? I am trying to connect to a database which is on this computer (local) in the root folder of the application, called Library.mdg.
I recently re-built my entire system from ground up (new hard drives, OS, etc). I now have the problem of SQL 2005 installed partially, but no way to get the management tools installed. I get an "already installed message when I try". I've never encounted this before on any other SQL install.
Sequence of events. I installed VS 2005 Pro first, then followed by SQL 2005. Somewhere this install didn't work, and I was left with the MS installed thinking I suceeded, yet none of the functions of SQL were worked or more importantly accessable.
I tried to re-install after using the ADD/Remove App from the control panel (which was sucessfull). SQL thought it was still installed. So I uninstalled VS 2005 as well, and deleted any programs in the SQL directory. Then I checked ADD/Remove programs and nothing was showing. The re-install still did not work. My guess is that the registry is still loaded with now useless entries.
Is there any solution left that does not require me to hand delete any SQL registry entries, since that is always a great way to completely kill my system.
