Kill A Session After An Idle Duration In SQL Server 2005
Feb 21, 2008
Hi all;
I want to implement "Auto disconnection" (or kill) of user session that exceed a specified idle duration in SQL Server 2005.
I know how do that in oracle by creating a profile and set the IDLE_TIME paramter and asign that profile to all users. But in SQL Server i don't know how to do it.
Just upgraded to SQL Express 2005 from MSDE for Firehouse. Upgrade went great and the db is accessable and running fine. Except when not used for a while. Then I need to restart the db to allow connections of any kind. If I don't I get an error that the db is not accessable and I can't connect. Everything runs fine after until it goes to "sleep" on me again. We upgraded to make use of the 4GB limit as we were at 1.9GB and MSDE was getting a little unhappy.
Any suggestions? Is this a "feature" and if so, is there a script I can run to kick it into working mode again?
I have an ASP.Net (C# 2.0) application that has been using SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition with Service Pack 1 to hold the session state in a testing environment. Currently, the session state is being stored in TempDB, rather than the ASPState database. This has worked very well for us until yesterday. We installed SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2, as well as the Critical Update for Service Pack 2 (KB933508). Once the SQL server was rebooted, I got the following error message when I tried to access the web application. The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'ASPStateTempApplications', database 'tempdb', schema 'dbo'.The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'ASPStateTempApplications', database 'tempdb', schema 'dbo'.The INSERT permission was denied on the object 'ASPStateTempApplications', database 'tempdb', schema 'dbo'. In the web.config file for the application, I have a SQL username and password defined that can access the ASPState database. To correct this issue, I had to give this user db_datareader and db_datawriter access to tempDB.
Has anyone else run across this problem, and is it related to SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2?
Which works fine, but what I need to calculate the total duration of a request based on the duration of the tasks completed in the request based on Req_ID. I would like to use the CASE statement I have to determine the SLA_Mins for each task and add them together to get total request SLA_Mins.
Below is the create table schema and data
GO /****** Object: Table [dbo].[MidrangeOtherSourceControl] Script Date: 06/03/2015 18:13:15 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MidrangeOtherSourceControl]( [Req_ID] [float] NULL, [Service_Name] [nvarchar](255) NULL,
I have installed SQL Server Express Edition. I have migrated a set of tables from Oracl10g (by using Microsoft's Migration Tool Kit).While I am trying the following simple update command, the session hangs and it never finishes !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, Does any know how to increase a session timeout for Report Creation uing SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services. Iam trying to export a report (to a .pdf) using SQL 05 reporting services. However, it seems that the the query is timing out coz of session-time out. Can anyone tell me how to increase this value ?
The 2.0 version of ASPSTATE is slightly different than the 1.1 version in that one table has one additional column and another table uses a different data type and size for the key. The 2.0 version also has a couple additional stored procedures.
We'd like to manage just one session state database if possible so we're trying to figure out if Microsoft supports using the new schema for 1.1 session state access (it seems to work, but our testing has been very light).
Is there any official support line on this? If not, can anyone comment on whether or not you'd expect it to work and why?
I have a very stranger problem that I need to understand... In last days I executed a plan SQL 2005 Profiler to review TSQL Duration. When reviewing the results encounter that a SP displays a value of 4037312 in field DURATION which are not normal. Could to help me to identify why passes this?
Hi, everyone! I have this strange problem... After every time my application leaves sql-server idle (doesn't send anything, doesn't retrieve anything) next command to sql-server processes really long. I've also noticed this bug/feature/misconfiguration even if I open a DB in Management Studio... Please, could someone tell me, is there any timer that "puts a DB to sleep" if no one is using it for some time? Can I change the way server behaves in this situation?
We have a new sales force automation application for sales rep to log their contacts, etc. It runs on mssql 6.5, sp 4.
They log in and leave their connections on without logging off or leave their coonections idle .
We set the user connections fiarly high but we are concerned that the max amount of user connections weill be consumed and the sql serve becomes locked.
My questions are:
1) Is there any parameter in the sql server configuration that will log off idle users have a certain time and dsiconnect them?
2) A backup of the database will be made each night. If there is no parameter, would it be a good idea to stop and start the sql server every night to release the idle connections?
3) If so, how to stop sql server from the commadn and start it with a command line command and do this in a batch file as a scheduled task?
4) Is there any other way to release these idle connections each night?
Any information you can supply will be appreciated. THanks.
I have SQL 2005 mmirroring sucessfully working in an ASP.NET 2.0 web application. I also have session state being maintained in SQL Server using the built-in functionality in ASP.NET. The problem is, even with "allowCustomSqlDatabase=True" and specifying a failover partner in the DSN, it appears that ASP.NET does not work with the failover partner. It always tries to get the session info from the "data source" server specified in the DSN.
Is there a way to get the session state to fail over to the mirrored server without writing a custom session state provider?
I'm trying to kill a bunch of processes in SQL 6.5 and I can't. I'm running the only machine with SQL tools installed on it (the server) and it won't let me kill them. I try the GUI screens and the Kill statement in ISQL_w. Is there any way around this?
I've stopped the SQL Server and rebooted the NT Server. Is there anyway I can get rid of these processes. They are locking some tables and keeping me from inserting data within my code. Very frustrating.
I am runnning a package which loads 3 million records, if my package fails after loading 1 million records, How do I execute my package in order to load the records from 1 million record? My guess is checkpoints will not help in this case. Do we have any other option to recover the session?
Dear, Our ASP.NET scripts send SQL statements (as inline SQL or SP) to process the requested job. After the job execution, the process ID stays in the server and waits for next command with sleeping status.Since this process does not go away, next job adds another process and eventually, the server is overloaded with these processes and dies. How can I kill this sleeping processes?Regards,Echo
I have to find locks which have been caused by some particular users before the scheduled jobs kick off and kill the locked processes so that the scheduled job executes without failing. How to do this in SQL server? please help
Hi! I have a small problem , but it's still a problem. I have a SQL Server Agent job that runs a .cmd file. This CMD is logged to a textfile. This process is locked, waiting for me to type a password, but I have nowhere to type that pass.
What I want to do is kill the process that i locking the logfile, because since the logfile is locked, the job cannot be started again (and it's a scheduled job). The jobs status is 'Not Running'. I have solved the problem by making the cmd write to another logfile, so the schedule will work, but the file is still locked, and I don't want to restart the server since it's a productionserver.
How to I find the process that is initialized from SQL Agent, and kill it?
Anyway I want to know if there is a way to get SQL Server to release a lock without using the kill command. My reason for asking is because this morning I was investigating some deadlocks and thought it would be nice if SQL Server upon identifying a deadlock instead of killing the victim SPID would simply force the victim SPID to release the lock causing the deadlock so that the other SPID could continue and the victim would simply have to wait longer.That lead me to wonder if there was a T-SQL command or DBCC to force SQL Server to release a lock that I specify.
So, any way to get SQL Server to release a lock without using the kill command?
I am wanting to get/filter on all queries and procs that take longer than 2 seconds to run (I'll balance real values later) but I'm not sure which Action out of the XE that I need.
I am using SQL Server 2014 and thought I had used sqlserver.sql_statement_completed.duration > 2000 in a previous version.
Should these two stats added together give me the time (ms) since SQL Server has been restarted? Maybe I don't understand but @@cpu_busy is the amount of time sql server has accessed the cpu and @@idle is the amount of time sql server has no cpu activity. When I add these two figures together, I don't get the total amount of time (ms) SQL Server has been running. What am I not doing? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Hello everybody,I have a ASP.NET (3.5) Web site which uses an data connection to my Sql Server 2005 Express. When I browse in my data-driven pages of my website, I am satisfied with the performance. But when I try my website after a long break, e.g. in the morning, the data-driven pages take a long time to come up, about 10 seconds. After this gap, when surfing on the other pages, there is no problem. It is only the first page. So it seems that my SQL Server goes "to sleep" after a certain time of idle.First I read a post about this problem which came up with the user instances of Sql Server. So I got rid of my user instance and set up my database "normally". But still I have that performance gap.I am using Linq To SQL and a couple of ListViews. I am totally confused how to manage this problem.Any suggestions?Thanks in advance,Hannes
I have been seeing this issue for several weeks now. The distribution agent will become idle even though there is activity occurring within the replicated database. If I manually start the distribution agent, it will begin retrieving the transactions. I thought that this might be due to inactivity but I have modified the inactivity threshold and I am not receiving an actual inactive agent warning. There are no warnings -- it simply sits there and does not resume sending transactions.
Any thoughts? This is a transactional replication with a distribution agent that is run at the subscriber.
Hi.. I have application which is connected to my SQL 2000 database. Normally our users use Terminal service to the SQL 2000 and application (same box) remotely and connect to the database. But some time the connection break and I have idle login stuck there.
For example, if I use sp_who, I can see many logins still login to DB even they are out. And sometimes I see duplicate logins too even there is only one person using that login to logon to DB. Is there a way to find out what is the idle timeout of the user login session??
Is that under SQL server properties -->remote server connections-->Query time-out--> >> sec ?
Is there a way to limit only 1 session can be allow for each login ??
I am using MS JDBC driver 2005 1.2 and in-house written connection pooling that was working fine for a number of years. This combination worked OK with SQLserver 2000. But recently we switched to SQLServer 2005 (x64) on WIN Server 2003 Standard x64 eddition. Everything seems work OK during business hours, however, after business hours when there are lesser users and connection stays idle for sometime, I am getting the following error: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The connection is closed. at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException.makeFromDriverError(Unknown Source) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection.checkClosed(Unknown Source) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnection.setAutoCommit(Unknown Source) at com.nms.serverframework.dbaccess.OnlineTransactionManager.freeConnection(OnlineTransactionManager.java:420) at com.nms.serverframework.dbaccess.OnlineTransactionManager.releaseConnection(OnlineTransactionManager.java:707) at com.nms.serverframework.dbaccess.OnlineTransactionManager.releaseConnection(OnlineTransactionManager.java:688) at com.nms.serverframework.dbaccess.OnlineTransactionManager.finalize(OnlineTransactionManager.java:399) at java.lang.ref.Finalizer.invokeFinalizeMethod(Native Method) at java.lang.ref.Finalizer.runFinalizer(Finalizer.java:83) at java.lang.ref.Finalizer.access$100(Finalizer.java:14)
I have been looking at the new DMV's prefixed with dm_exec_....and found a limitation with them.
Books online says sysprocesses is replaced with sys.dm_exec_connections, sys.dm_exec_requests and sys.dm_exec_sessions. The problem I came accross is identifying any sessions connected to a specific database which were idle. This is the sort of thing you need to know if you tried to restore a database and it says the database is in use.
I have some C# code that iterates through the session state, serializes each object and stores the binary representation in an SQL table with an 'image' column. The problem is: it doesn't work. SQL server doesn't throw an error (at least ADO.NET doesnt propagate it); the table is just left unchanged. The SP works (I tested it with a few simple values); the MemoryStream and byte array are being populated correctly and bound to the parameter correctly.
What am I doing wrong? Anyone have a better approach? I know there is a builtin way of storing state in an SQL server, but I only need to do this once--namely, when a user is redirected from non-secure to secure pages--so I don't want to take that performance hit,
Does SQL Server have a session browser similar to Oracle and if so, how can I use it? I am looking to retrieve the SQL being ran when users are running particular reports from a gui tool.
Does SQLServer go to sleep when it's been idle? How can I connect without an error?
I have SQLExpress on a server. Server Name is SqlExpress. I have 2 DBs on that server... Tuna & Guppy. I'm connecting to the DBs from a remote PC which runs my App... an exe created with Visual Studio 2008, Visual Basic.
If I run my App at say 9:30PM, after the server has been idle for several hours, I get a "Can't open connection to Guppy" error, which is my error message when the connection attempt fails. If I quit & relaunch the app, it connects fine, and will continue connecting fine unless you leave the server idle for serveral hours again.
If I'm developing a 2nd app all evening... which connects to a 2nd DB...Tuna, that activity seems to keep the SqlServer awake and then launching the 1st app at 9:30PM connects to Guppy just fine.
I tried adding a "Connection Timeout=30" to my connection string but that did not help.
My connection code is as follows (note the server's name is SQLExpress):
Dim strConnG As String = "Data Source=SQLEXPRESSSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Guppy;Integrated Security=True;Connection Timeout=30" Using ConnG As New SqlConnection(strConnG) 'open Guppy connection Try ConnG.Open() Catch ex As Exception MsgBox("Can't open connection to guppy") Return False End Try 'Code that does stuff End using
Can anyone tell me how to fix this so I can connect without error, even if the server has been idle?
