Restarted SQL Server 2005, And It's Working Great Now, But WHY??
Aug 3, 2007
My small business has about 21GIGs of data in our database. This entire week we've been running absolutely slow. Posting transactions have been taking up to 30+ seconds when they're normally instant.
We ran the profiler and found that certain stored procedures were taking an absolutely long time to run. We checked for fragmentation, indexing, etc. Keep in mind our hardware was constantly pegged at 80%+ all the time. We have about 60 users connected to our server at any given time.
After much effort to no avail, we finally resorted to just restarting the software. Some have even suggested powering down and rebooting our hardware, but I halted that. We stopped and restarted the server via the management studio and now everything is just peachy. We're funning super fast and smooth.
My concern is that we're just bandaid-ing the problem and not resolving it; so eventually we're going to be faced with this problem again. Even though restarting the server is quite easy and not too effective on our downtime, personally, I'd like to know what the real issue is. Isn't sql server 2005 a self-tuning software to begin with?
Has anyone experienced this and share some insights on what they did and didn't do to resolve this quirk?
If you take a database offline to prevent users from accessing it, and then restart the server, will the database be back online when the server starts up?
If so, is there an option to prevent this from happening so that a database taken offline will remain offline until it is manually put online again by an administrator?
I am update/inserting records threw a web form in vb.net. I need to insert 'NULL' into my microsoft sql server database. I am not talking about the below line of code where website is the name of my paramater. If i do that it will just place a blank into that field in the database. If i dont enter anything into that textbox I want it to to say NULL in that field. So if I go into the actual table in the SQL Server Management Studio and look at the website field of the recored I just added or updated and did not type anything into the web site textbox it needs to say NULL. I also tried the second line of code but that places a single quote in front and behind NULL. So the field will have the value 'NULL'. website.value = txtwebsite.text.tostirng if txtwebsite.text ="" then website.value ="NULL" end if The reason why I need the NULL there is because I bind the website filed to a hyperlink template in a gridview. The actual text of the hyperlink is bound to PAYER which is a name of a insurance payer but the navigateto is bound to the website field. If i do not enter any data into the website field and it stays as NULL, then when my gridview is loaded, payers that dont have a website will not be underlined and user wont have the option to click on them since there is no value for the navigateto. But if i use my form to update/add a payer and leave the website textbox blank in puts a blank into that field in my database and when it loads that new row into the gridview the PAYER is underlined and u can click on it but it will just take u to the web site is unavailable page. So is there anyway to actaull have NULL placed into a filed and not just blank space
I had a view in which I did something like this isnull(fld,val) as 'alias'
when I assign a value to this in the client (vb 6.0) it works ok in sql2000 but fails in 2005. When I change the query to fld as 'alias' then it works ok in sql 2005 . why ?? I still have sql 2000 (8.0) compatability.
Also some queries which are pretty badly written run on sql 2000 but dont run at all in sql 2005 ???
any clues or answers ?? it is some configuration issue ?
I wrote some views in sql2000 and all was well. I upgraded to sql 2005 and non of the order by clauses work when I run the views directly. If I open the view up in desing mode and run them, they work. Any Ideas? Thanks, Rick
I'm trying to add records to a table that includes datetime value using INSERT query. No matter what date value I'm giving the query, the value saved is 1/1/1900 00:00 . Also, I'm interested in saving only the short date, without time. I thought changing the type from datetime to smalldatetime would do the job, but it didn't help.
I have a VB project in VS 2005 Express that uses SQL 2005. I use Click Once to deploy the project. The s/w installs and installs the SQL 2005 prerequisit on XP and Vista machines without problem.
Problem: As soon as the apps tries to use SQL 2005 on a Vista machine it says sqlservr.exe has stopped working and has to close. XP machines work like a dream.
Any ideas please? Any help would be welcomed.

I've been trying to get my merge replication to work with a sql ce 2.0 on sql server 2005, but it keeps generating shapshot scripts my pocket pc can't execute.
Example of my table.sch file in my snapshot folder: drop Table [dbo].[Application] go
SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Application]( [AppID] [nvarchar](20) NOT NULL, [AddOnInfo] [nvarchar](50) NULL, [MaxClients] [int] NULL, [AppName] [nvarchar](255) NULL, [NbrDaysHistory] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Application_NbrDaysHistory] DEFAULT (10), [NbrDaysFuture] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Application_NbrDaysFuture] DEFAULT (10), [rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF__Applicati__rowgu__4C364F0E] DEFAULT (newid()) )
GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON
go
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Application] ADD CONSTRAINT [Application_PK] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [AppID] ) GO
I've selected that I was setting up a merge replication that needs to be compatible with sql ce. But it doesn't seem to do this...
I've tried to set the compatibility level to 80SP3 manually but it remains 80RTM... I've tried everything.....
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?
If I remove these lines from the sch file everything works jsut fine:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON
go
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Application] ADD CONSTRAINT [Application_PK] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [AppID] ) GO
Even if I make a publication for sql mobile 2005 it generates the same script.... It's almost as if SQL 2005 is ignoring my settings...
Is there a way to determine when the SSAS Service last restarted? preferably a [mdx] query like you can do with the DB engine using a T-SQL query but any method that does not going to the servers OS and checking would be fine.
Hi all just as the subject suggests I am getting the follwing problem not sure why as I have used the same method on a bunch of other servers but they were all on the same DOMAIN whereas this one isn't.
"Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."
Using the following code:
Code Snippet
Str_connectionString = "server=OB-DEV6; database=WEBSERVER; Trusted_Connection=True" sqlCon = New SqlConnection(Str_connectionString)
But it doesn'y seem to like that at all. I have gone into:
SQL Management Studio > Properties > Security > SQL Server and Windows Authentication
Restarted the SQLServerAgent (MSSQLServer)Restarted the SQL Server (MSSQLServer)
I have this simple full text search query that works perfectly on my own computer using sql server 2005 express, however, on the production server(shared hosting)when I added the first 50+ rows, the full text search works perfect, but as the number of rows increases, the full text search can only see the first50+ rows, but not the new ones. Is there any quick solution for this or it's just a common mistake for developers for not properly indexed columns?Is there a way to re-indexed all rows without loosing data on the live server? search query: SELECT TOP 50 *FROM li_BookmarksWHERE FREETEXT(Keywords,@Keywords)
Hi all,I just asked some people to help me out and phone microsoft with thefollowing information, kindly they refused unless we setup a supportcontract with them first, for pre-sales information. (That really doesnot sound like good business sense to me - anyway here is our problem,if anyone could help thanks)."To tell and ask microsoft:We will be setting up a microsoft sql server 2000 instance running on awindows 2003 server.1) We need to check this can run alongside a microsoft 2003 sql server(either workgroup or standard edition), on the same machine. Are thereany .dll clashes if we do this? If there are can we run SQL Server2000, in a virtual machine running windows 2000 professional. (I have alicenced copy we can use for this).2) If we run one instance of 2000, and one of 2003 of the sql servers,can one use the processor licence model, and one use the CAL licencemodel."Thanks for any help, and any idea why they actually force you to usenews groups for pre-sales information?David
I can't get SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition working on my notebook with Windows Vista Business Edition. I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition and then i ran SP2 for SQL Server EE.
But now when i a am trying to connect to any server from SQL SERVER MANAGEMENT STUDIO i can't see any Server in Server Name list. When I click on Browse for more, I don't see any server. I am able to get Network servers.
While installing the SQL SERVER all the features were disabled as it is, then i went to advanced and selected all the options.
We tested this new feature ("Keep Alive" for orphant connections to automatically close) with no success - neither the standard properties nor slightly changed properties worked.
We tested like this: SQL Server 2005 - ADO.NET Client The client established an explicit lock on one row at one database. Afterwards we disconnected the client by pulling out the network-cable. We waited about 35 sec for the sessios to close - but nothing happend; we waited another minute but nothing changed. SQL Server Management Studio and the command line "netstat" told us that the connections are alive ... so what went wrong? Did we miss something?
Our goal is, that such "orphant connections" get cleaned up and also their inked locks on the database. BTW we installed the sp1 before all the tests started!
I get this error (connection closed) in web applications, whenever SQL Server database Service is restarted. When I run the application again, the error disappears. Granted that there are lots of users and Database gets restarted every night is not helping.
Is there any setting in the JDBC driver properties, where I can tell it to open a closed connection (like a retry count), rather than fail the first time and work the second time.
We use 1. SQL SERVER 2005 SP2, 2. Websphere Protal Server 5.1 3. SQL SERVER 2005 JDBC driver 1.1(com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnectionPoolDataSource.)
I am wondering if connection pool driver is causing this problem. I do not care about connection pooling, but Websphere doen not seem to like any other JDBC Driver. I don't mind switching to another driver as the last option.

I'm not experienced with SQL Server 2005.I've got a live copy of my database running on the web server.I've got another copy running on my desktop that I make changes to.Whats the best way to sync between the two so:1. I don't have to take the application offline2. I don't loose any data from the live database3. But I can implement changes to tables and/or add new tables
hello friends, i am facing a problem in SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The database created in the SQL Server 2005 Express is when opened in SQL Server 2000, it changes the data type of all the columns of all the table to text type. can anybody help me?
I am developing an asp.net app using visual web developer. I am using a sql server 2005 db for the back end. I have learned that I have to restart my machine if I want to work with the db in SQL Server 2005 Express after working with it in Visual Web Developer.
I am wondering why this is. I am assuming that the db is locked when it is used with VWD. Is this correct? Am I refering to it's status of "locked" correctly? Should I call this something else?
I have a problem with DTS - ActiveXScripting that it cannot initialize the script engine, I have the backward compatibility stuff installed, even tried a repair but still does not work.

I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise, then SP1 and then SP2, Maintenance Plan worked. But if I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise and then SP2 directly (skipping SP1), the Check Database Integrity in Maintenance Plan was not working. The error message is as follows:

hi, im currently on sql hell right now. im having a hard time learning this sql thingie....
...the thing is this: im currently using the book ASP.NET Unleashed and most of the examples there are on SQL. what i was trying to do before was convert everything to OleDb to fit the ms access which i have right now.
unfortunately, some of the codes seem not to work properly. maybe its because of im using OleDb...
so what i did was i downloaded the MSDE sp3 package and installed it on my PC. now that i have an sql server for my WebMatrix, i just dont know what to do next? i mean, where do i put the sql sample databases like northwind and pubs???
im really confused about this sql thing. i really hate it.
I have two servers both with different collation. Server A being SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS and the live server and Server B being Latin1_General_CI_AS and a dev server. Now i have a load of data on the dev which i'm query to see if its on the live server. select * from ServerA.Table1 where Col1 in (select Col1 from ServerB.Table1)
I get this Error message. Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "Latin1_General_CI_AS" and "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" in the equal to operation.
I have a working version of the above installed on a win 2000 machine with SQL ver (MSDE2000A.exe)
I purchase a laptop with vista home premium installed on it
MSDE2000A.exe would not install hence I installed SQL Server Express I managed to install the server and connect but when trying to login through Great Plains it says that I need SQL version 7. I have done a little research and found that SQL 7 is not supported by Vista.
Which way do I go now ?????
Do I install a copy of xp, update Great Plains or wait for an updated version of SQL Server Express SP ???
Please can anyone help !!! and please dont get too technical Im not an expert
We are trying to develop a view based on manfacturing orders - when a finished good is placed on hold and then calculating the componet parts that are on hold.
The calculation runs fine, we multiply end quanity x componet quanity found on the BOM. But we are not getting the correct componet item numbers to display.
Here is the syntax we are using:
SELECT DISTINCT TOP 100 dbo.BM010115.QUANTITY_I, dbo.WO010032.ENDQTY_I, dbo.WO010032.ENDQTY_I * dbo.BM010115.QUANTITY_I AS QTY_REQHOLDMO, dbo.BM010115.CPN_I, dbo.WO010032.MANUFACTUREORDER_I, dbo.WO010032.ITEMNMBR, dbo.WO010032.MANUFACTUREORDERST_I FROM dbo.TEC_MOSumm RIGHT OUTER JOIN dbo.WO010032 ON dbo.TEC_MOSumm.ITEMNMBR = dbo.WO010032.ITEMNMBR RIGHT OUTER JOIN dbo.BM010115 ON dbo.WO010032.BOMCAT_I = dbo.BM010115.BOMCAT_I WHERE (dbo.WO010032.MANUFACTUREORDERST_I = 4)
We have tried several different types of joins but still no luck. The upshot is we need to know that when a finished good is placed on hold, - how many of its componet parts are placed on hold.
Any assistance you can provide will be appreciated.
I am setting up a new server with Great Plains v8.0 (I have migrated all the databases from the other server, which has a working version of Great Plains v8.0 at the present moment). We are planning on getting rid of that server as it causing a lot of problems at the moment. I start the install of Great Plains v8.0 on the new server, install the components. After Great Plains v8.0 installs I go into Great Plains Utilities, and get the following message (I have installed SQL Server 2005 on the new server, and SQL Server 2000 is being used on the old server).
After I run Great Plains Utilities, I get the following error message - "The stored procedure verifyServerVersion() of form duSQLinstall: 111 Pass Through SQL returned the following results: DBMS: 0, Great Plains: 0."
and when I click OK, it gives me another notification message - "Your current SQL SERVER is not a support version
Req: Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 Act: Microsoft Server 2005
You need to upgrade to SQL Server 7.0 before continuing".
Why am I get that error message when I have SQL Server 2005 installed?
