Old && New Values For My Activity Log ??

Oct 27, 2005

I have a requirment to create a activity log to log all changes that
take place in my tables as they happen. All my Inserts,updates & Deletes take place inside stored procs. A windows .NET application calls the stored procs and passes the data set to the stored procs to execute them on a Sql server 2000 database.

When an update statement is run inside my stored proc, the dataset only passes me the new values. but,i will need the old value from the database before the update takes place to report in my activity log. What is the best way to do it ?

My activity log shold report a description like this

"Name Changed from 'Robert Johnson'(old value) to 'Bob Johnson'(New Value)"


Though i can do a select from the tables to get the old values and match the new values to get the differences before running the update statements, it is too much work as i have well over 100 stored procs in my application and i have to check for every single field value in a table. If only one column changed in a table containg 20 columns, i would still have to check for 20 columns before determining which fields changed.

Can any one suggest me a better solution to report the old values and new values for all the updates that take place in a database through stored Procedures.

Thanks

Activity Log

Nov 9, 1999

What is the best to produce user activity log ? Using triggers (insert, delete, update) is rather heavy (?) operation. Has anyone used SQL Profiler for that ? In log should be: who, what, when, workstation, table, changed fields, some data key values.

How To Log Any Activity

Dec 3, 2007

Dear friends,
I'm working on an entity relationship diagram about a mice farm.
Let's say we have a very very basic diagram like this:

MOUSE "is in" CAGE

For example, this gives

Mouse "n°1500" is in cage "AAA"
Mouse "n°1501" is in cage "BBB"

One operator can take one mouse and put it into another cage, for
example the first line becomes

Mouse n°1500 is in cage CCC

Now, I was asked to track any movement... I ask myself: do I need to
add

OPERATOR "moves" MOUSE

so that I have

Operator "John" moves Mouse "n°1500" on "Monday 3rd, 2007" at "5 PM"
from "AAA" to "CCC"?

or this kind of logging is provided some way by SQL server?

Thanx a lot for any hint.

Current Activity Not Available? 6.5

Aug 12, 1999

When viewing Current Activity, nothing shows up.

If i run sp_who, the return is normal.

If I run sp_who2, the following message is returned. (it also is returned randomly while using function in EM such as Backup/Restore.)

Msg 268, Level 16, State 1
You cannot run SELECT INTO in this database. The DBO would have to run sp_dboption to enable this option.


What is it??? It's buggin me......

Dano

p.s. I remember a similar problem in the past, it had to do with turning truncate on checkpoint in one of the system databases msdb/master/tempdb or something like that. I turned off all Trunc. and Select/Bulk options on these...

Job Activity Monitor

Sep 10, 2007

Hi,

I have a problem with Job Activity Monitor.

I have a SSIS which copies data from a table to a flat file. The connection string of this file is variable and the file is reused if not exists and is created if exists.

When I run the SSIS manually from my microsoft visual studio it works properly. However, when I run this SSIS from the Job Activity Monitor, I get the following error:

Message

Any idea?

Logging Table Activity

Mar 10, 2005

Hi peeps,

We have a great big database (90gb) which has been populated (monopolised) by our finance team, and its full of tables that probably aren't being used at all. But know knows whats being used and what isn't or they don't have the time to go through it with me.

So I have decided to implement a procedure that logs table activity on this database, and if for example a table isn't used for a month then it will be archived off and zipped up.

I have a few ideas in my head how I can acheive this, but I am looking for some opinions and ideas from you guys?

Thanks in advance

User Activity Query

Jan 7, 2007

Hey!

I'm trying to produce a user activity table out of a table that contains rows on when users log in or out. However, I can't seem to get the query to 'pick' the right date time in the join.

So, I have a table like this:

ChangeIDUserIDLoggedInDateTime
7107/30/06 12:30PM
6117/30/0612:20PM
5107/29/06 11:00AM
4117/29/06 10:30AM
3205/03/06 6:30PM
2215/03/065:30PM
1205/01/06 9:30AM
0215/01/06 9:15AM


And I want to make it into this table:


UserIDLoggedInDateLoggedOutDateDuration
17/29/06 10:30AM7/29/06 11:00AM30
17/30/06 12:20PM7/30/06 12:30PM10
25/01/06 9:15AM5/01/06 9:30AM15
25/03/065:30PM5/03/06 6:30PM60



Here is what I came up with, but it doesn't seem to be working right :eek:


select
distinct (userin.changeid),
userin.userid,
userin.createdate as LoggedInDate,
userout.createdate as LoggedOutDate,
DateDiff(mm,userin.createdate,userout.createdate) as Duration
from userChange userin
inner join (
select * from userChange
where loggedin = 0
) userout on userin.userid = userout.userid
where and userin.loggedin = 1 and userin.createdate < userout.createdate
order by userin.createdate desc

Activity In One DB Causes Time-outs In Another

Aug 7, 2007

We have several SQL 2000 databases on one server.
One of the applications I'm responsible for has batch jobs that run for an hour; all activity is on the database. During this hour, other applications that use other databases on the same server experience time-outs. One of my coworkers did a count(*) on an empty table and it took 11 seconds.

We pay people to keep our servers up and running. Is this something they might solve by reconfiguring the server? It seems strange to me that a single database is allowed to hog all server resources.
We are meeting with them later this week, and I'd like to have some knowledge about this; we don't want to BS'ed into buying a new server.

Lots Of Transactions, But No Activity

Hi all,

I have a strange situation. Performance monitor shows that SQLServer:Transactions Transactions value is 125, but SQL Server Profiler does not show any activity.

I ran sp_who2 and I have a bunch of processes with SUSPENDED status. Would those be counted in Performance monitor?

When does a transaction get suspended?

Thanks.

Logging Activity/connections

Mar 6, 2007

Good morning all... first time poster here.

Very new to SQL server, and the database world in general. We're an old Oracle shop, and our Oracle dba's are pretty set in their ways and aren't too excited about supporting SQL server. Understandable, change is tough sometimes. Being the new kid in town, I have made it my goal to wrangle our SQL 2000/2005 environment and carve out my own little niche.

My first order of business is to do some general cleanup and documentation. So, my question is this... is there a way to determine when the last few user connection to a database were? I have a host of databases that I suspect are no longer in use, but no one can seem to identify them. Before I delete them, I definitely want to make sure they aren't being used by some off-the-beaten-path app that I am unaware of. I did a search here and a general Google search that was fruitless. I'm not the beast Googler though. :)

Any advice here will be greatly appreciated!

-Alan-

edit: My idea of a solution would be a query to show, say, the last 10 connections to a particular database. Username, date, time, etc. would be spectacular.

SQL Activity Monitor Logs

Oct 5, 2007

Hi All,

I want to analyze server (SQL 2005) activity at a specific time in the past. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a log file reflecting the information in Activity Monitor. Knowing that the sysprocesses and syslocks tables feed Activity Monitor, I thought about doing a log analysis on the master transaction log, but I'm not sure that's possible.

Is there a (different) way to achieve this?

Or is there a better approach to identifying processes that cause performance bottleneck/deadlocks?

Any input would be appreciated.

Job Activity = Slow, Non Job = Fast

Oct 10, 2006

I have created an integration services package with a script-source reading data from Active directory. Pretty much data is read and written into a sql2005 database.

I have notised that when I run the package via right-clicking the package (Under stored packagesMSDB) and selecting "Run Package" it takes about 45 minutes for it to complete successfully. The same goes if I run the package from inside Visual Studio. However, when I create a job and put this package as one of it's tasks the task takes about 1h 40min. This is more then double the time! In neither case the server is occupied with soething else. And I have tried it several times so it wasn't just an "accident".

Any idéa of what this depends on?

Help! Unusual SQL Server Activity With Sp_dbrename.

Our support line was full of calls from people saying "I'm getting the error 'Single User Mode in database DBORGINALDBNAME'. Any ideas why the application would be hitting the old database after I renamed and recycled the server?
