I am constantly getting this error message in the Application log after installing SQL 2005 last night followed by SP1 (say 5 times a minutes). See below:
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[table_Data]') AND type in (N'U')) DROP TABLE [dbo].[table_Data] GO /****** Object: Table [dbo].[table_Data] Script Date: 04/21/2015 22:07:49 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[table_Data]') AND type in (N'U'))
If I wanted to search for Jobs as a particular status (e.g. 0130) and wanted to keep the jobs at this status until it has reached 0500, 0125, or 0900 in it's subsequent status log entry, how can I write the SQL for it to achieve it?
I have the following SQL which searches for the Jobs at 0130, but don't know how to develop it further to search on the requirement above.
------ SQL ------- SELECT job.job_number, (SELECT MAX(jsl.job_log_number) FROM job_status_log jsl WHERE job.job_number = jsl.job_number AND jsl.status_code = '0130') as Last_Early_Warning_Status_Entry
[code].....
In the job_status_log table above, there is a job_log_number field which increments by 1 when there is a new status log entry.
My Web Host does not provide administrative privilages to the SQL server I have access to. I would like to delete tens of thousands of records from two of my tables without writing to the Transaction Log. Is what I'm trying to do is delete these records quickly without utilizing any of the alotted space my web host has set aside for my transaction log (they give me 50 mb and I go way over that when I run a DELETE statement)
Is there a way to determine what application or who might be creating numerous tables in the tempdb. I have one that has grown yet the sp_spaceused command shows the majority of the database empty.
I need to determine where they are coming from and how I can delete them short of stopping and starting the SQL services before it uses up all of my HD.
Im sure this is something minor that I am overlooking but for some reason when I go to debug my ssis package all these windows keep opening( callstack, watch1, watch2,watch3,breakpoints, etc) . I cant seem to find out how to disable these -- any suggestions? I dont remember actually setting these to run
Can anyone point me in the direction of a script that incorporates sp_addlogin, which allows for adding 200 sql authentication logins from an excel spreadsheet, or a temporary sql table with the id info, containing the username, password, and def db?
I'm trying to avoid adding each new login one by one. EXEC sp_addlogin 'username', 'password', 'default database'Thanks, BPH
What is a more efficient way of doing the following such that DATEDIFF() does not have to calculated numerous times?
CASE WHEN DATEDIFF(DD, @Today, COALESCE(POS.[PurchaseDate], POS.[FinalizedDate])) <= 0 THEN '<= 0D' WHEN DATEDIFF(DD, @Today, COALESCE(POS.[PurchaseDate], POS.[FinalizedDate])) > 0 AND DATEDIFF(DD, @Today, COALESCE(POS.[PurchaseDate], POS.[FinalizedDate])) <= 7 THEN '> 0D AND <= 7D' WHEN DATEDIFF(DD, @Today, COALESCE(POS.[PurchaseDate], POS.[FinalizedDate])) > 7 AND DATEDIFF(DD, @Today, COALESCE(POS.[PurchaseDate], POS.[FinalizedDate])) <= 30 THEN '> 7D AND <= 30D'
I am new to Sql Server [Express version] and am not even sure I'm making the right choice. So here I am, seeking advice.
My database needs are nothing sophisticated. They just involve: (a) create tens of thousands of separate data files each under a unique file name of up to 8 characters, with file names read in from a pre-determined file name list. (b) store/insert VOLUMINOUS numerical data into each of the data files, with the data indexed by date&time, plus maybe one or two additional character or string fields. (c) for each data file, retrieve a subset of its data, perform extensive numerical calculations, and then store the results in one or more separate corresponding files, e.g. if a file name in (b) is F12345, (c) creates F12345R1, F12345R2, F12345R3, etc. which stores different sets of calculated results.
Thus, this is purely a console application, doing a batch job, and requiring no graphical user interface. Both automation and speed are important here, due to the large number of data files that must be created and/or updated, and the very extensive numerical calculations on the data.
The goal is to automate the daily or weekly creation of each of the tens of thousands of Sql Server database files, insert fresh data (read in from a fresh ASCII file) into each file, numerically process the data and then store the results in one or more separate, corresponding result data files, with all the steps automated and without need for GUI. Once coding is done, the entire data processing session is expected to run for many hours, or even days, in an automated manner, and without human intervention.
What would be the most efficient way of doing this under Visual Basic Express (which is what I'm learning to use) by directly calling Sql Server Express without having to go through GUI to create database files? What is the proper interface utility or library to use to enable direct database function calls without the need to learn SQL language? Is Visual Basic and/or Sql Server even good choices for what I want to do? I want to be able to call the basic, simple database functions directly and simply from program code in a non-GUI, non-interactive manner for the tens of thousands of separate data files that will be used.
I really miss the good old days when one can do a straightforward batch job via a console application, with simple, direct calls to create new data files, insert and index fresh data, retrieve any subset of data to do extensive calculations, create new files to store the results, etc. all under automated program control and iterating through unlimited number of data files, until the job is finished, all without human intervention during processing.
Or am I missing something because all this can still be done simply and easily under VB and Sql Server? I've several books here about Visual Basic 2005 and Visual Basic 2005 Express, all showing how to create a database via a GUI utility. That's fine if one needs to create just one or two databases, but not hundreds, or even tens of thousands (as in my case) of them on the fly.
So, I am looking for the simplest and most direct database interface that will allow me to do the above under VB program code alone, and easily. For something as simple as I have described above, I don't think I should have to learn the SQL language or manually create each database file.
As you can see, I just want to get some heavy duty numerical processing job done over tens of thousands of data files as simply and efficiently as possible, and with as little fanciful detour as possible. So, ironically, I am trying to use Visual Basic without being cluttered by having to learn its "Visual" aspects, yet GUI is what most VB books devote to or emphasize heavily. Similarly, I would much rather use simple, "lean and mean", direct database function calls than having to learn a new vocabulary of "English-like" SQL language.
Yes, I'm not used to this tedious detour of learning the GUI aspect of VB, or learning the Structured Query Language of Sql Server, just to try to do something simple that I need to do in batch mode via a console application.
Are there any good books or other helpful URLs that will help a guy like me? Am I even using the wrong language and the wrong database to do what I want to do? What are the better alternatives, if any? Any advice, experience and pointers on any of the above issues raised would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
I have a table that has company id, attachment file name, folderexists columns.
First what I need to do is create a series of folder or directories on a networked server using the company id as the folder name where the folder name does not already exist.
Second I need to move files based on attachment file name and company id to the proper folder.
For those who want to know, this is a remediation project because of a bug in our application.
The application is supposed to created the folder based on company id and then put the attachment in that folder.
My SQL Server 2005 SP4 on Windows 2008 R2 is flooded with the below errors:-
Date 10/25/2011 10:55:46 AM Log SQL Server (Current - 10/25/2011 10:55:00 AM) Source spid Message Event Tracing for Windows failed to send an event. Send failures with the same error code may not be reported in the future. Error ID: 0, Event class ID: 54, Cause: (null).
Is there a way I can trace it how it is coming? When I check input buffer for these ids, it looks like it is tracing everything. All the general application DMLs are coming in these spids.
I have been testing with the WMI Event Watcher Task, so that I can identify a change to a file. The WQL is thus:
SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent within 30 WHERE targetinstance isa 'CIM_DataFile' AND targetinstance.name = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\AdventureWorks.bak'
This polls every 30 secs and in the SSIS Event (ActionAtEvent in the WMI Task is set to fire the SSIS Event) I have a simple script task that runs a message box).
My understanding is that the event polls every 30 s and if there is a change on the AdventureWorks.bak file then the event is triggered and the script task will run producing the message. However, when I run the package the message is occurring every 30s, meaning the event is continually firing even though there has been NO change to the AdventureWorks.bak file.
Am I correct in my understanding of how this should work and if so why is the event firing when it should not ?
Server 2003 SE SP1 5.2.3790 Sql Server 2000, SP 4, 8.00.2187 (latest hotfix rollup) We fixed one issue, but it brought up another. the fix we applied stopped the ServicesActive access failure, but now we have a failure on MSSEARCH. The users this is affecting do NOT have admin rights on the machine, they are SQL developers. We were having

We recently upgraded to SQL 2005 from SQL 2000. We have most of our issues ironed out however about every 1 minute there is a message in the Application Event log and the SQL log that states:
EVENT ID 18456 Login Failed for the users DOMAIN/ACCOUNT [CLIENT: <local machine>]
This is a state 16 message which I thought meant that the account does not have access to the default database. The account is actually the account that the SQL services run under.
Any ideas? We can't seem to figure this one out. We actually upgraded to 2005 from 2000 and had an error appear after every reboot that prevented the SQL Agent from running(This application has failed to start because GAPI32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.) We did a full uninstall of SQL and reinstalled fresh and restored the databases from .bak files and that is when the EVENT ID 18546 started occuring every minute.
We don't have any SQL heavy hitters here so please be detailed with any possible solutions. That you very much for any help you can provide!
I have a job where the first step starts and checks for a condition. If its not true, I want it to reset itself and start again in 10 minutes. I'm using sp_stop_job and sp_update_jobschedule and, initially, it looks like it works. But since it's a Daily job, the 'Next Run Date' increments to the following day. Even though I'm using sp_update_jobschedule to keep the active_start_date as the same day, it still increments. I've tried updating sysjobschedules directly, but get the same results.
Any thoughts much appreciated! Here's my code: USE msdb
--This is the part that goes in the job step --and increments the next_run_time if the condition is true.
If (Select count('x') from mytable (NoLock) Where PublicationDate > getdate()) < 1 BEGIN Declare @ActiveStartDate int Declare @ActiveStartTime int
Select @ActiveStartDate = active_start_date from msdb.dbo.sysjobschedules (NoLock) Where schedule_id = 61 Select @ActiveStartTime = active_start_time from msdb.dbo.sysjobschedules (NoLock) Where schedule_id = 61
I am trying to develop a sql statement that will create a recordset of the min (or max) values in x minute increments over a period of time.
e.g. over a period of 7 days, I have data that was collected in 1 minute intervals. I need to know the min (or max) value in each 10 minute interval over that same period of time.
hey all, i need to find the ratio of difference in 2 datetime variables and the difference of another 2 datetime vars. I figured the best way to do it is to convert the difference in both numerator and denominator to number of minutes.
I am runing from .NET application an SQL Query it normally return the rows in 10 seconds but time to time the application turn 2 or 3 minutes and nearlly crash (or crash)
I have a result that comes out in number of seconds, but need to see it converted to minutes and hours and seconds. Is there a convert function that would do this?
Consider a table that holds Internet browsing history for users/machines,date/timed to the minute. The object is to tag all times that are separatedby previous and subsequent times by x number of minutes or less (it couldvary, and wouldn't necessarily be a convenient round number). This willenable reporting "active time" for users (a dubious inference, but hey).There are a lot of derivative ways of seeing this information that might begood to get to. What's the fist and last of these sets of times? Whatpercentage of a given period is spanned by active times, and not? What isthe average duration of such periods? What is the average interval betweenweb hits during such periods? During other times?Blah, blah. The basic problem is my principal problem. I don't have muchexperience with cursors, but from what I understand it would be very goodindeed to spare them, given the number of records I anticipate workingwith.I'd be glad of any pointers.--Scott
Hi, the SQL DB freezes and no one can access the DB for 5 or 10 minutes. Even select queries don t execute, nothing is displayed.
Until we kill the process id that s blocking in the sql activity monitor, only then the DB is released and people can work again. What does it mean that no query executes until we kill the processes ID? what could it be?
Also, recently we created indexes and ran tuning adviser, is it possible that the creation of indexes cause the freeze of a DB? is that possible?
I have SQL 2005 full version installed a remote server and when I start my computer I can connect to the database from SQL Managment Studio and a program I'm making. After about 15 minutes I find that I cannot connect using both programs, but if I enter the servers IP address using Managment Studio I can connect (this does not happen with the program I'm making). I have to log of my computer before I can connect again.
Hi, I am searching for the most easy SQL solution:
Lets say i have 500000 rows of cars in one table with 30000 different car ID's. This table contains no keys, no date values, but I need the last row of these 30000 different cars. How do I get them without adapting table structure and without using cursors ?
