I have a server from which keeping clients off for maintenance is
difficult. They all have VPN connections and can be online any time
they want, and uptime as always is important.
Now I need to run dbcc shrinkdatabase, checkdb and of course
checkpoint right before backups, and when the log seems to grow. I
just tried dbcc checkdb on my home computer and apparently its really
io and CPU intensive on this dual P3. Can users be running queries and
the occasional update and insert while checkdb is doing its thing? Or
is it better to lock everyone out?
How about shrinkdatabase? Any benchmarks on the stability of these
commands while other clients are running? If tables are getting locked
during these commands, the log file will grow even if shrinkdatabase
is running...
Any commands to show which tables are locked, and by whom or what?
I just tried our 2.5GB database on my dual P3 with 256MB ram home
computer.. checkdb took 8 minutes and shrinkdb took 1.5 minutes. We've
a dualP3 server at work, IBM xSeries 232 with 1GB ram, but even 5
minutes of downtime can hurt if shrinkdb needs to be run during work
hours.
I am very new to sql server and I have been reading up on the dbcc commands. For instance, DBCC SHOWCONTIG where do I execute this command? I went into the cmd prompt and opened osql and typed: 1> DBCC SHOWCONTIG 2> GO
This gives me the information for what I assume is the master database. But, how do I use this command under the other databases?
Also, I have been trying to learn how to determine when to do index maintenance by using the index tuning wizard. But, I don't know what a workload is. Can someone point me in the right direction or give me some information about this topic.
I would like to enable users that do not belong to groups (server roles) such as sysadmin, serveradmin and don't have db permissions such as ddl_admin or db_owner to run some of the system stored procedures (such as sp_addumpdevice sp_configure sp_serveroption ...) and DBCC commands (such as DBCC CHECKFILEGROUP - requires ob_owner or sysadmin permission).
Is it possible to change permissions of SQL Server system stored procedures?
Is it possible to change permissions of SQL Server DBCC commands?
I'm building a simple webform, except Visual Studio and my service provider have combined to drive me nutty.
First, I MUST use an ODBC connection to my remote SQL Server do to some unknown configuartion problem. I've been playing with Visual Studio for only a month, so normally when something goes wrong I can go look in the mirror and find the culprit. This is different. I've got a totally functional web form with a SQL Connection, but when I try to change it to an ODBC Connection, I get the following error.
An OdbcParameter with ParameterName '@CertHolder' is not contained by this OdbcParameterCollection
My coding is fine because I stole it straight from the walkthrough and it works. But the specifications that Visual Studio provide are quite suspect. Please note the failure to include some key "@" signs.

Is anyone satisfied with stability of OLAP-services ?
We´ve got a cube with 103 Levels and about 1.100.000 rows in the fact table.
After processing the cube everything works fine. After changing the fact-table (new rows) the only option is to process the cube (no incremental update or refresh offered). OK. After processing the cube (which sometimes failes) the cube sometimes containes wrong data !? Sometimes during operation with the OLAP-Client(inSight from arcplan) the data changes. Sometimes it is not possible to connect to the cube.
Did anyone have same or other or better experience ? Keen to discuss !
I know that this group is for SQL Server 7.0; however, I was wondering if any of you knew how well SQL Server 2000 performed in a production environment. Currently the company I work for uses SQL Server 7.0 in the production environment and we were thinking about upgrading to 200, but were unsure if it was stable enough yet, as it's still pretty new. I don't really know of any other place to ask this question.
I submit a SSIS package with data flow task by DTEXEC command on a W2k3 SP4 server installed SQL2005 EE SP1 several time. The package sometimes finish the task successfully but sometimes failed.
I would like to know how to improve the stability of running package. The server is not busy for other tasks. The resource should enough to run my task. It is strange.
I am running into some issue that i have found any good clue on this forum... although have seen a few threads dicussions. I have a master package which invokes a dozen of child packages.
1) If I only open master package inside IDE, I am keeping getting the following error when i run the master packages inside Visual Studio 2005 IDE.
The connection type "FLATFILE" specified for connection manager "XXXXX Flat File Destination Connection Manager" is not recognized as a valid connection manager type. This error is returned when an attempt is made to create a connection manager for an unknown connection type. Check the spelling in the connection type name
2) If I opened up all child packages inside IDE, the master package run fine most of time.
i got schema "stability locking" problem in sqlserver 2000. i have a application which appends dailydata table to masterdata table, while appending schema stability lock is acquried, so my application waiting a lot of time to insert daily data to master table.
ex: query in my application is ..
INSERT INTO MAINTABLE SELECT * FROM DAILYTABLE
i rebooted my server and restarted the process again, eventhough i got the same problem again and again, there is no other process accessing the same table.
I am playing with DBCC command to check the contsrainst on a perticular table (DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS ('myTable') WITH ALL_CONSTRAINTS), it always gives the following result:
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.
I followed the advice of Paul Randal, but Im stumped as I am not able to determin what the corruption issues are. This is SQL 2000 and the database is a Solomon database that was recently upgraded to 6.5. the error I get when running the DBCC checkdb is as follows:
Server: Msg 8966, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Could not read and latch page (1:18645) with latch type SH. sysindexes failed. DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator. DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.
Now, the bad news. I am a bit of a novice and have picked this up from someone who left my company. It appears the latch error has been around for some time and only reared up when I instituted a new back up system that runs a dbcc check befor backing up. I don't think I have any clean backups.
I have these two commands that I execute at the end of my stored procedure. I get an email every time I execute this stored procedure whether the select statement returns a value or not. But I only want to get an email if select statement returns an Error value. How can I accomplish this?
set @cmd = 'osql -S server -U user -P psswd -q "set nocount on; select distinct(rtrim(col1)) from ##table where datediff(dd,col2,getdate()) = 1 and (col1 like ''%Error: %'')" -h-1 -w 1025 -o J:MyFolderErrorLogMsg.txt'

Hi guys,I wanna ask bout the problem with my web application. I'm doing a select a statement from table 1 and and with the query results i got, i need it to store the result on table 2. How will i do this? I need your tips and suggestions.
I'm running asp.net 2.0 and acessing MSSQL 2K. I am trying to run a query in which I need to set up variables first. I tried the following group of commands as shown, passing it to the SqlDataReader object, but it failed.. does anyone know how i can pass multiple SQL commands? MainQuery = "declare @MinGrades as Table(GradeID Bigint) " & _ " INSERT @MinGrades SELECT MIN(CreditGrades.SplitID) AS Expr1" & _ " FROM CreditGrades INNER JOIN" & _ " CreditGradeSplits ON CreditGradeSplits.CreditGradeSplitID = CreditGrades.SplitID " & _ " WHERE (CreditGrades.x0x30 = - 1 OR " & _ " CreditGrades.x0x30 >= 0) AND (CreditGrades.x1x30 = - 1 OR " & _ " CreditGrades.x1x30 >= 0) AND (CreditGrades.x2x30 = - 1 OR " & _ " CreditGrades.x2x30 >= 0) AND (CreditGrades.x3x30 = - 1 OR " & _ " CreditGrades.x3xNOD >= 0) " & _ " GROUP BY CreditGradeSplits.CreditGradeGroupID" & _ " Select * from @MinGrades "
I am experiencing a situation where I issue a lengthy SQL command to MS SQL Server 7.0 through MTS and it "disappears" - no errors or recordsets are returned. The command is "SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE LASTNAME LIKE 'SMITH%'". When I issue this command from SQL Query Analyzer it takes 27 seconds to return 87 rows. When I issue this exact same command through MTS it does not return at all.
I've used the SQL Profiler to analyze the requests. It shows the commands from MTS starting but they never stop (or at least the profiler never reports them as stopping). The same commands coming from Query Analyzer are reported as starting and stopping without fail.
Here's a twist: I can issue less demanding commands (ie, one that doesn't take so long to process) through MTS and they come back fine. For example, when a user logs into my application, I use an SQL statement to verify the user name and password and status the user as logged in. This is routed through MTS and it comes back fine in less than a second. Same application, same PC, same MTS and SQL server, same SQL database. The only difference is that the CUSTOMERS table has over 800,000 records and the USERS table has only 5 records.
Please can someone point me in the direction, i built a very badly designed database consisting of only one huge table when i first started databases, since learning about normalization i have designed and set up a new database which consists of many more tables instead of just the one. My question is where do i start in transfering the data from the old single tabled database to my new multi-tabled database?
I have MS SQL server 2005 managment studio if that helps, but want to transfer around 200,000 rows of data into the new database. Both new and old databases are on the same server.
I have a job that runs between the hours of 10 PM and 9 AM. It launches a controller stored procedure that will call other stored procedure until the entire process is done.I would like the controlling stored procedure to only call the steps between the hours of 10PM and 9AM also.. So at 8:59 AM it will start the next step, but at 9:00 AM it will exit.

Hello, I am running SQL 2000 SP4 on a Windows 2003 standard edition server.
The SQL database gets changed/updated through a web interface. I was wondering if there was any way for me to see which SQL commands were being run on the database when changed like deleting/inserting users are being applied from the Web frontend?
How can I make sure that a couple of commands are either all executed on the database or none of them. For example right now I have an insert, update and delete command. I'm calling each of them with a SqlCommand. So I am afraid that that one of them might be executed, then there's a bad connection and the other two are not. How can I prevent this so that only all commands or nothing is executed on the database?
Hi everyoneI created a database graphically in VS2005.Now I want the text version of those DDL(create) commands. Question is where and how are those commands stored in SqlServer I have the management studio too. Any ideas??
Please forgive me if my questions seem very simple. I'm trying to pick up vb.net, asp.net, and SQL all at the same time, and while making progress in some areas I'm finding other questions I have harder to figure out where to look for answers. First question - if I want to join 2 tables do the fields I'm joining on have to have the same name? I know they have to be of the same type, but does the name itself matter? For instance in this line of code I try to join forums objdataadapter.SelectCommand.CommandText = "select * from msg_forums" & "JOIN users ON msg_forums.forum_moderators = users.user_ID" Second question nagging at me, since I specify the table <msg_forums and users> before the field names <forum_moderators and user_ID> does it matter which one comes first? See, my primary table in this line is msg_forums, so do I have to specify it's field first, or does that even matter (or do I have it backwards and need to specify the other one first)? Last question, and of course the root of what's caused me to wonder about all of this. I'm getting an error similar to some of what I found in the forums, but it's slightly different in that it says there is a problem near "OR". As far as I can tell I've written this correctly, and so, I'm stumped. Here is the error followed by the code. Thanks a bunch for any assistance anyone offers. :-) Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ON'. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request.
