My db is working in simple recovery mode, when I run "dbcc sqlperf(logspace)", I find the log file is very large and the log usage percentage is 98%. In most case, when I run "backup log db_name with no_log", the log usage percentage will be reduced. but in fact it is no change. I make sure there are no active logs in it. Who can tell me the reason ? thx.
We have 350 tables in our database, I want to drop/delete those table(s) that are inactive. Is there a way to check which tables are not active, so I could drop/delete that table(s).
Here are two tables. How do i create an SP for INACTIVE delete and how do i use the UNIQUE constraint to avoid duplication of the NAME columns(logingroup_name and login_name) in these tables?
--Creating Table ref_LoginGroup:- create table ref_LoginGroup ( logingroupid tinyint identity(1,1) constraint pklogingroupid primary key clustered, logingroup_name varchar(25) constraint chkname check(logingroup_name NOT LIKE '% %'), changed_login_id int, is_active bit, lastupdr smalldatetime, ) --Creating Unique nonclustered Index for ref_LoginGroup:- create unique nonclustered index idxlgn on ref_LoginGroup(logingroup_name)
--Creating Table ref_Login:- create table ref_Login ( login_id int identity(1,1) constraint pkloginid primary key clustered, login_name varchar(50) constraint chklogname check(login_name NOT LIKE '% %'), firstname varchar(30), lastname varchar(30), logingroupid tinyint constraint fklogingroupid foreign key references ref_LoginGroup(logingroupid), changed_login_id int, is_active bit, lastupdr smalldatetime ) --Creating Unique nonclustered Index for ref_Login:- create unique nonclustered index idxl on ref_Login(login_name)
I have a snapshot & a transcation publication on Server A, and a pull subscription for each on Server B.
The distribution agent on ServerA has the error:
"The subscription(s) have been marked inactive and must be reinitialized. NoSync subscriptions will need to be dropped and recreated."
Any idea what caused this ..... Everything was fine for a week or so.
Does anyone know of any good books or publications on Replication ? I've got some DBA books that cover the basics, but I'd like something that helps explain the oddball situations.
I am having a problem with the SQL Server 2005 database of our ERP system. We have a scheduled batch that gets stuck because of a lock on a table. The lock remains overnight and halts all other processes (it seems most of them are waiting for this lock to get solved) I know which table the lock is on and if I kill the lock manually, the batch continues and finishes without a problem
my question is: can I change this behaviour somewhere?
The piece of code that causes this lock is protected, but in a debug log I was able to see that it happens during following actions:
first a select is performed to fetch a certain record in the file that gets locked next an update is performed with following syntax:
update ... set.... where current of 'pointername'
this update is waiting for a lock to be released before the batch continues.
My guess is that somehow the pointer that is set with the select statements, locks the row and that's why the update cannot be performed. The strange part is that this lock does NOT occur everytime that this table needs to be updated. And that's why I am stuck and asking help of the real database people :)
If someone can give me a hint on a setup,property, or just a pointer to where I can find more info on the 'why'-part of the lock, I would be very grateful
I am working at a site that has no dedicated DBA, and our Sql Server 2000 environment has recently been playing up. There are several databases on the Production server that should be inactive (for applications no longer used).
What is the best way for me to see if there has been any recent activity on these databases (short of taking them offline and waiting for screams). Please keep in mind that I am a Sql Server novice.
Does anyone know if there is a 3rd party tool available to disconnect user logins after being inactive for a period of time? Is this something that can be custom written?

I' d like to list all inactive clients.Inactive client is a client who hasn't had invoice for 2 months.I use INNER JOIN to join invoice view (vwDok4FSFZGrid) and clientsaddresses table (adr_Nazwa). I skip empty values (adr_Ewid.adr_Nazwa !=''). I select only invoices with date after the interesting date.So now I can list all active clients but i can't negate this resultset to get all inactive clients:SELECT dok_PlatnikId, adr_Nazwa,adr_NazwaPelna,adr_Adres,adr_Miejscowosc,adr_NIP, dok_DataWystFROM vwDok4FSFZGridINNER JOIN adr__EwidON vwDok4FSFZGrid.dok_PlatnikId=adr__Ewid.adr_IdObiek tuWHEREadr__Ewid.adr_Nazwa !=''AND(dok_DataWyst >= convert(datetime,'10/03/2007'))GROUP BY dok_PlatnikId, adr_Nazwa,adr_NazwaPelna,adr_Adres,adr_Miejscowosc,adr_NIP, dok_DataWystIs there any way to negate this set?1. Sorry for my English2. I would appreciate any help:)

I have uninstalled the CTP version of the SQL Server express so that I can install the released version but CTP version is still listed in the add/remove program list but without the change/remove button. I have been to different sites to find information on cleaning this up and I have ran all the uninstall tool I can find but the problem still prevails. I cannot install the released version without completely getting rid of the CTP version. Please help anyone.
A Contractor has a list of Contracting Companies that he has worked for in his history.
For each row in the "Contracting Company" table, there is an Active Date and an Inactive Date. Each Contracting Company cannot have overlapping dates.
The last row in the table for that Contractor may have a null Inactive Date. That just means that he doesn't know when his contract will end.
In Report Builder, I can access the "Last Active Date", because there is a pre-built formula for "Last Active Date". However, whenever I access the prebuilt formula "Last Inactive Date" - I get the inactive date for the second-last row, because the last row has a null value for the Inactive Date! I want to get the Inactive Date for the last row - not the second last row!

I have a Development Machine running Windows XP Professional SP2, with SQL Server 2005 including Reporting Services. I am developing an ASP.NET application using VS 2005, and am including Server Side Reports from SQL Server. Everything is working well, except when viewing the Reports.
The Reports when viewed from Reporting Services€™ Report Manager or from within the ASP.NET application only display the first page of the report, displaying the total number of pages as 0. As well, most of the functions on the report toolbar appear to be disabled. This occurs for any report viewed, even sample reports such as the Adventure Works Samples.
The problem only occurs when viewed from within Internet Explorer on the Development Machine. To overcome the problem, I have upgraded SQLServer to SP2, and removed and reinstalled Internet Explorer, but it made no difference. It appears to be related to the rsClientPrint ActiveX addon which should have been installed when the print icon was first selected. It appears not to have installed properly, but up to that point everything worked OK. Selecting the Print icon (or any other icon) since nothing happens. I€™m guessing here, but I suspect that the rsClientPrint addon needs to be reinstalled, but I don€™t know how to go about it. It is not listed within IE addon (where it is on other machines connecting to the Development Machine), nor is it listed within the €œC:WindowsDownloaded Program Files€?. But it is not being downloaded when the Print Icon is selected. I have checked all the Security settings for the environment to ensure that ActiveX programs are downloaded, and everything appears to be in order.
Would anyone be familiar with this problem or have any suggestions on how to go about resolving it? Any help would be appreciated as it is causing significant problems. Strange though, the reports appear fine when viewed from within the Server Manager.
I am having a hard time removing my SQL instance inside the Add/Remove program. After i select the SQL Instance name and then I tried to remove it but it won't allow me to delete it. There isn't any error message or whatsoever. Actually, when i try to log it in my SQL Management studio, that certain sql instance name is not existing according to the message box. Is there any way to remove the Sql Instance in my system?

Would someone mind helping me with formatting a string please?? I have a column DECIMAL(4,2). In a stored proc I am selecting this field and converting it to varchar so I can append certain characters to it (this is really irrelevant to my question). However, before appending the characters, I need to remove zeros after the decimal point. Examples: 3.00 should be 3 3.20 should be 3.2 3.05 should be 3.05 etc
