Fastest Connection Method?
Nov 17, 2006
I am trying to find some info on the fastest connection transport for an app that is running on the same box as a SQL 2005 instance. The app does a large number of updates (high volume of data).. win32 using native ODBC. I am trying to find info on which connection mechanism is best... socket, pipes, etc. I read somewhere that there is a file mapped method available but i cannot find info on that either. Also, is there any performance difference between the old SQL OCBD drive and the new SQL Native Client OCBD drive?
Thanks.

I work with databases and some of my backup files are 30-100 gigs insize. I currently use the FastCopy utility to copy files from oneserver to another. (This is needed when I need to transfer a DB to adifferent server). FastCopy says its 30 to 50% faster than Windowsfile copy. I read somewhere that the windows kernel defaults to4mb/sec throughput for copying.Is this true? Is there a faster way or some utility to copy files?I'm aware of RoboCopy but the documentation didn't mention anythingabout faster performance. All my servers are windows 2000 NTFS.Thanks

Can anyone point to a reference which documents the pros and cons of the various connection protocols, such as Shared Memory vs. TCP/IP? I thought I saw something indicating that shared memory is fastest, which would explain why this protocol is tried first, but now I can't find it. This resource has information on creating connection strings, but not the advantages and disadvantages.

Hi All,
I am getting the following error if I am using the package "Transaction Option=Required" while running through Sql Job:
The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "<connection name>" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
while I running the SSIS package on BI environment, I am getting the following error:
[Connection manager "<connection name>"] Error: The SSIS Runtime has failed to enlist the OLE DB connection in a distributed transaction with error 0x8004D00A "Unable to enlist in the transaction.".
I know the alternative solution is to make the "Transaction Option=Supported", but in my case I have run the whole flow in a single transaction. I came to know that this has been fixed in the service pack1(ref. to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914375). FYI.. some time it was running successful.
I have taken all the necessary step to run the SSIS package in a distributed transaction(like the steps for MSDTC) and also created the package flow in a sequence.
I was going through the link - http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=160340&SiteID=1 but all those didn't solve my problem.
If anyone can help me it will be great. or it is a bug in SSIS?
Thanks.

Hi All,
I have a DB2 database on aix server. we had to move some tables to SQL Server 2005. We created individual SSIS files for each table and saved it on the desktop. When I run the package file by double clicking on it the "Execute Package Utility" dialogue box appears and I can click on the "Execute" button and everything goes fine.
But if I try to open the same package using "SQL Server Business Intelligence Devlopment Studio" or to run the same package with DTEXEC /f <Filename> , it gives me below error.
=====================================================================================
Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "SourceConnectionOLEDB" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.

I am stuck on this error and need help!!!

Hi all,
I am facing a problem with the connection method, it says,
"[Store [10069]] Error: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Data Source Destination" failed with error code 0xC001A004. "
(Store - Look up component.)
This problem occurs only when i am using Transaction option, all the component(Look up,Destination etc) says the same error message in the Pre-Execute phase. But i can open the component and can able to see the data in preview.
And also this is not occuring in our testing environment. We have copied the same pakages in our production, the package failed stating the above. I can not simulate the same problem in my testing server.
Has anyone faced this kind of problem? please help me to solve this.
Thanks.

I have a SSIS package that reads the data from an Excel file using an Excel Connection Manager and imports the data to a table on a SQL Server 2005 DB instance.
When I run this package locally on the server the package being on the file system, the package executes perfectly. Now I upload the package to the msdb database and the run the package from there and the package still executes successfully.
Now I schedule the package to run as a SQL Server Agent job and the package fails and when the logging is enabled I see this in the log file;
OnError,WEB-INTSQL,NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM,Copy to CRN-ALLOCATION_COMMENTS_TEMP,{40A6BF6E-7121-448B-A49D-DED58FDC746A},{BD991566-F4BD-41BC-AEBF-264032D8D0D3},5/9/2006 1:54:52 PM,5/9/2006 1:54:52 PM,-1071611876,0x,The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.

I am wondering why the AcquireConnection method call is failing when the package is scheduled? I am running the step as a SQL Agent Service Account and it is the Local System account that starts up the SQL Server Agent and Server and is an Administrator on the box.
Any inputs will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

The package runs fine if I run it by itself. Unfortunately we want to call it from another package and when we do so it fails everytime with the following error; "AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "BPCSF" failed with error code 0xC0202009." This package is calling an AS400 and pulling data from it into a staging environment. The task that is failing is 4th task on the list and is the 3rd task to call the AS400 environment. If I need to provide more information I would be happy to do so. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have an SSIS package which takes input from Flat file and transfer the data to SQL Server using OLEDB Destination Data Flow Item. The OLEDB Connection Manager used for the destination is configured to use SQL Server Authentication for the user €˜sa€™. The package works fine without enabling the configurations. But when I enable package configuration and save the configuration of the various connection managers in an XML configuration file and then run the package it gives the following error in the validation phase:
[OLE DB Destination [21]] Error: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "<Connection Manager Name>" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
And after the validation phase is complete the following error message is given for the package execution:
[Connection manager "<Connection Manager Name>"] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E4D. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client€? Hresult: 0x80040E4D Description: "Login failed for user 'sa'."
Has anyone else run into this?
I am running
SQL 2005 9.0.1399 and VS 2005 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.50727.4200) on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP1.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
TIA,
Robinson

I can run this package in Studio and it works fine, but when I run it from SQL Server Agent, it throws this error. Does anybody know what would cause this problem. This appears to occur during validation for the package because none of the data flow steps run. The connection being used is the same connection used in all of the data flows. If validation is done in order, then prior steps using the same connection are passing validation.
Thanks,
Steve

Hello everyone,
I am struggling with this error and it's starting to get to me!
I have setup a simple project with just a data flow task. In this task, it retrieves a simple record "Select * From Table1 WhereId=1". The connection is an OLE Db connection using Advantage Oledb Provider (a provider for accessing dBase). It is accessing a Novell network drive. I have setup the package to both "EncryptSensitiveWithPassword" and "DontSaveSensitive". Both times i have received this error.
The funny thing is, when I set the package to "EncryptSensitiveWithPassword" and I setup a job to run the package, it never asks me for the password even though I set one up! I have a previous package (few months ago I made) that accessed the same database on the same Network drive and it works! It also asks me for a password when I try to modify or run the package (b/c I set it to "EncryptW/Password").
Can anyone give any light into this problem?
Thansk for all your support,
Adrian

Hi-I have a sql server database, and am wring web apps to access it.I've created databases different ways, and ended up with different owners (eg dbo, nt authorityetwork services...)I also have connection strings using windows authentication, and some using a user name and password.I have read that using windows authentication is the best way to go, as far as security goes, but I have noticed some connectivity issues when I upload the site to the server, and test it remotely. What is the safest 'owner' of the database, and what's the safest way to connect?Thanks Dan

I am running the Sept CTP. I have created a SSIS package that pulls data from a text file and inserts into a database. When I run the package on the DB server it runs fine. I have moved the package the the web server (we are attempting to kick off the package from a web site) and we get connections errors. We are running the package using dtexec from the command line.

Hi,
In my SQL server 7.0, I have got 250 store procedures in each database.
Before using them for my application, I want to ecyption all.
I must add "WITH ENCRYPTION" string in each SP in all database and it'll take me a long time. Is there fastest way to encryption all SPs in all DBs? Have anyone got an utility SP ( or anyway else) to do this?
Thanks in advance.

What is the fast way a stored procedure can copy a table from a linked server?
I would like to tune this statement, possibly with hints or other logging options. Assume that table_A and table_B have the exact table structure and that I want to preserve table_A and all its indexes and contraints. The table will be truncated before this load, if that helps in any way.
insert into table_A select * from OpenQuery(Server,'select * from Table_B')
TIA, Mike

In relation to my last post, I have a question for the SQL-gurus.I need to update 70k records, and mark all those updated in a specialcolumn for further processing by another system.So, if the record wasKey1, foo, foo, ""it needs to becomeKey1, fap, fap, "U"iff and only iff the datavalues are actually different (as above, foobecomes fap),otherwise it must becomeKey1, foo,foo, ""Is it quicker to :1) get the row of the destination table, inspect all valuesprogramatically, and determine IF an update query is neededOR2) just do a update on all rows, but addingand (field1 <> value1 or field2<>value2) to the update querythat isupdate myTablesetfield1 = "foo"markField="u"where key="mykey" and (field1 <> foo)The first one will not generate new update queries if the record hasnot changed, on account of doing a select, whereas the second versionalways runs an update, but some of them will not affect any lines.Will I need a full index on the second version?Thanks in advance,Asger Henriksen

I have a master table which has demographic data such as name, dob, location along with a primary key id. It will have about 10-12000 records. We get a refresh file every hour which may or may not have corrections for these records hourly with about 3,000 records. I put this data into a table. This data should be considered always to be correct. To handle the update to the master table I need to create an update process. I can take one of two approaches, just update all the records in the master table regardless if they are correct or not, or do some type of left join on those that do not match (in other words, only update the ones where thae names or dob don't match) There is an underlying update trigger on the patient master which will also fire if these values are changed. An opinions on a best approach?

Hi,
I have a production server that has an 8Gb db. It is dual Xeon with 5x HDD - 2 mirrored and 3 striped. db on stripe, log and OS on mirror. 2x Gb network cards.
The application goes slow (ie users notice) when a backup is running so i have placed a crossover cable from one NIC to a test server so that it can back up to a HDD on that server, and then to tape. The test server has 2xGb NIC and the link between the two servers is on a seperate subnet to However, in the first trial of this the back up and verify takes 3 minutes longer.
Is this because the target server doesnt have a disk stripe?
What is the best config for the production server (ie will a slower backup but to another server be less load to contend with the application)?
thanks

I've got a view that is driven from a 80 million record table in a data warehouse. I am trying to populate an aggregate table in a datamart, but am running into preformance problems. The datamart table needs to be updated daily. I understand there are many factors that effect performance, but in general would the fastest approach be:
1) Truncate the datamart table
2) Perform a bcp of the view to a text file
3) Bulk Insert to the datamart table
If you need more information to answer this please let me know.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi!We have Sql Server 2000 in our server (NT 4). Our database have now about+350.000 rows with information of images. Table have lot of columnsincluding information about image name, keywords, location, price, colormode etc. So our database don?t include the images itself, just a path tothe location of every image. Keywords -field have data for example likethis:cat,animal,pet,home,child with pet,child. Now our search use Full-TextSearch which sounded like good idea in the beginning but now it have hadproblems that really reduce our search engine?s performance. Also searchresults are not exact enough. Some of our images have also photographer?sname in keywords -column and if photographer?s name is, for example, PeterMoss, his pictures appears in web-page when customer want to search "moss"(nature-like) -pictures.Another problem is that Full-Text Search started to be very slow when queryresult contains thousands of rows. When search term gives maximum 3000rows, search is fast but larger searches take from 6 to 20 seconds tofinish which is not good. I have noticed also that first search is alwaysvery slow, but next ones are faster. It seems that engine is just"starting" when first query started to run.Is there better and faster way to handle the queries? Is it better torebuild the database somehow and use another method to search than Full-Text Search? I don?t know how to handle the database other way when everyimage have about 10 to even 50 different keywords to search.We have made web interface and search code with Coldfusion. ColdfusionServer then take care of sending all queries to Sql Server.I hope that somebody have some idea how to speed up our picture search.--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com

Im bulk loading a ton of data into MSSQL SERVER 2005 Standard Edition. I used to do this process in version 2000. It seems there is some more overhead in 2005. Is there a way to drop logging to almost null to speed up insert?
This is my current sql statment to load data.
EXEC sp_dboption 'my_stuff', 'select into/bulkcopy', 'true'
SET ANSI_WARNINGS OFF
BULK INSERT mystuff.dbo.[v1]

I'm writing a program that allows users to upload a csv file. This file is then seperated into 4 datatables based on certain criteria then each datatable is uploaded into my database. I'm essentially adding new rows to the datatables then running an update command on each using a tableadapter. The problem is that these csv files can be large and can end up with 4000+ new records being added to the database and the update commands take a while to do it. I've sat for about five minutes on one run while it updated. I put in some time variable to see where all the time is spent and it takes only seconds to parse the data and seperate into the datatables, but minutes on the update commands. Is there a more efficient way to insert this much data?
