Is there a way to find the max number of sessions that were on a sql server since its last restart? I know how to get how many total connections there were since last restart, and the current number of sessions, but not the max number of sessions that were running since last restart. Also, opinion on the optinum number of allowable sessions, or a good way to figure out the balance?

View 0 Replies View RelatedI need to create a script that adds an incrementing suffix to two columns, but restarts based on the value of another column. I found a similar question in the SQL Server 2000 forum, but it doesn't quite fit and also I'm working with SQL Server 2008 R2. The code below both creates a table with test data and tries to carry out the task. If you run this, you will see that the VISITNUM column has a value of UNS in row 4, UNS.1 in row 5 and UNS.2 in row 6. In row 7 it's V200, then in rows 8 and 9 it's UNS.3 for both. The same suffix gets applied to the VISIT column, but of course if I can solve this for VISITNUM then adding the suffix to VIST as well will be easy.
What I need is for row 8 to have UNS and row 9 to have UNS.1. In other words, any time the VISITNUM is UNS several times in a row, I need to add that ".X" suffix, but if a row has something other than UNS, I need to start over again the next time it's UNS again.
CREATE TABLE #testing(
KitID varchar(20),
SubjID varchar(20),
VISIT varchar(60),
VISITNUM varchar(20),
[code]....
I have a question about Service Packs and Cumulative Updates for SQL 2008 R2.
Do you need to apply them in the order that they are released? Or can you just apply the latest Service Pack and Cumulative Update?
Is there any Best Practice, 3rd Party Tool for Automating SQL Server Patching for around 10000+ SQL instances.
It is very difficult to do the same manually because each server will consume atleast 1-2 hours and if this is completely done manually then n number of people might be required for accomplishing this task which doesn't looks feasible at all.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs the correct procedure for SUS patches to a server running SQL Server 2005, to set the client to download only and then manually shutdown SQL Server, apply patches, reboot, and restart SQL Server?
Do SQL Server 2005 patches download through SUS or is it manual SP only, except for hotfixes?
Thanks, Tom
Hi all,
when I tried to integrate SP1 into my install media (32bit Developer Edition) by using
msiexec /i sqlrun_sql.msi shortfilename=true /p sqlrun_sql.msp
using the msp from an extracted SP1 full web download I ended up with a modified msi file. But installing from this one I received an error:
"sysdbupg.sql.<some_guid> was not found in Sql.CAB"
Any ideas how to fix that?
With best regards,
Artus
Hi would anyone advise if i'll need to patch a new instance to service pack 2 if the rest of my instances on the same machine are already at service pack 2 patch level?
Also can i apply service pack 2 without installing service pack 1 first?
Thks for any info
After patching SQL2005 SP2, an unhandled exception occurred in RSConfigTool.exe.
The error message:
Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.
Not found.
Is this a known issue? Thanks.

I am currently reviewing what patch levels various instances are at. One that have come across is a Windows Internal Database (WID), version 11.0.2100.0 (SQL Server 2012 RTM), which is being used for WSUS.
I was thinking about bringing this up to SP 2. I had thought that WID was patched as part of the operating system, not with the SQL Server Service Pack installer. But I have been Googling it, and I cannot find any references to say one way or the other how it is serviced. Does WID is upgraded using the standard Service Pack? Or is there some WSUS magic?
I am DBA and have worked for 3 years on sql Server 7 production servers. I briefly looked at SQL 2000 on desktop edition.
Should I be worried about applying for dba positions which have SQL 2000 production server environment. Companies will ask how much SQL 2000 experiance I have. I feel a little nervous as I have not the exposure to a live SQL 2000 production server environment.
From what I have seen the bread and butter DBA tasks have not changed between sql 7 and sql 2000.
I am hoping to get the opinion of fellow DBA's on this subject.
Thanks Pargat

Dear MSDN Support,
Here i am back with an inquiry about the last process of Merge Replication between SQL Mobile 2005 and SQL Server 2005.
Well i have performed all the steps found in the tutorial of the SQL Mobile Edition Books Online, and everything went on so fine and smooth. Now when i deploy my application on the Pocket PC emulator all possible SQL queries work and modify the data only in the emulator, i had installed ActiveSync 4.0 and it synchronizes the SQL Mobile data with the SQL Mobile server only when i copy the database from the emulator to my desktop, and this way is not efficient to my project, i need a better way to synchronize the data between the database on the emulator and that on the SQL Mobile Server.
I'll be looking forward to getting your help as soon as possible.
Thank you for your attention.

Hi,
I have an interesting situation here. I have a SQL Server 2000 database which is attached to SQL Server 2005. The database (SQL 2000) however only has service pack 3 applied. I need to apply SP4 before I can move forward with SQL 2000->2005 upgrade. The question: can I somehow apply this support package with my current configuration or should I install full SQL 2000 front-end anew (which I don't have at the moment)? Whenever I try to run SQL 2000 SP4 it complains "SQL Server 2000 is not installed on this machine."
The server I try to install the update is Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition x64. SQL Server 2000 database itself is x86 (obviously).
Thanks.
how can I configure the SQL server to automatically restart selected services on a regular basis?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHas anyone ever experienced the SQL Server unexpectedly rebooting?
Yesterday my SQL Server 7 installation rebooted itself and the error log seemed fine as did the restart. The only evidence I can find was a message in the event viewer's application log stating the the MSSQLServer service terminated unexpectedly. Any ideas are appreciated.

I've a SQL server that intermittently restarts itself mostly during. Its a SQL Server 6.5 SP4 running NT 4.0 SP6. It really has no rhyme or reason to it happening. The are no indications in either the SQL or the Nt events logs.

Hi,
I have a linked server set up to a proprietarty temporal DB through an OLEDB provider. From time to time and for various reasons the OLEDB provider crashes with "Error 7302 Could not create an instance of OLE DB Provider 'IhOLEDBProvider.iHistorian.1'. OLE DB Trace [Non Interface Error: CoCreate of DSO for IhOLEDBProvider.iHistorian.1 returned 0x80070008"
Up till now, to re-initilize the connection we have just restarted the SQL Server service. However, some automated processes are now feeding data into this server and more users and have started coming online so restarting for this issue has become a big deal.
Getting the OLEDB provider sorted out isn't an option at present so my question is:
Is there a way to re-initalise a failed linked server other that restarting the SQL Service?
Thanks,
Eamon.
Hi,
I have SQL server running on windows Adv Server 2000. Since last couple days whole computer restart every one hours. Only thing I remember doing was to shrink database db size is 200+GB.
How can I fix this problem.

Hi,
I've got a table with a column that contains the status of available licenses to the user, i.e. they are either in use or are available. If the server goes down, then when it is restarted I need to make sure all the rows in this column describe each license as being available.
So the question is how can I ensure data in a table is, if you like, initialized, each time the server is restarted? Is there a system defined stored proc or trigger than is executed when a server is restarted?
Thanks.
Hi...
i hv a database (sql server 2000) where i got locking on many tables and my application was down.
I restarted the sql server and the application was fine but after five minutes the same locking issue started happening. I did a index rebuild the next time on all indexes and everything was fine.But i cannot relate how locking occured and why it was not after index rebuild.Can anyone shed some light on this or anyone had similar experience... cos i cannot figure out a way on this.
Thanks in advance

I setup Sql agent for autostart with sql server and autorestart if stoped
but after rebooting NT or after stoping SQL server it never starts ,I have to start it manualy
Where to look for problem ?
I have an old application to maintain that uses CDatabase to connect to SQL Server. If SQL Server is stopped and restarted, such as in a cluster failover (i.e. move group), then the CDatabase connection needs to reconnect. It seems that it's not capable of doing this on it's own so I need to check the state some how. Various methods, such as IsOpen, seem to be useless as far as determining if I have a "good" connection.
Any thoughts?
@@servername sometimes returns NULL depending on how you have been messing around with replication and various other settings.
The simple solution offered to fix this is to delete the entries in the system tables and sp_addserver 'servername','local' and then restart the SQL service.
This is fine but what do you do in the situation where the SQL server is a 24/7 production box ? Does anyone know of a method / hack to fix this without stopping the service ?
Thanks

We were trying to restore our production server db backup in test server over LAN (due to space shortage on test server) . Test server hanged and did not respond for abt more than 15 hours (backup file 40 GB ) . The we restarted the server (resetting the power button) . Now it's showing the status 'Restoring' . According to me it's not doing anything (as seen in task manager workload ) . So how can I go ahead with checking the db .
Due to 'restoring' status I get following error
------------------------------------
Msg 927, Level 14, State 2, Line 1
Database 'envdb' cannot be opened. It is in the middle of a restore.

Hi All.
Our inhouse app used to run on a SQL2000, but we've recently moved it to 2005.
The move was done by way of backup and restore (it was on a whole new server).
After the move, an odd problem showed up: once in a while, the server seems incapable of finding/using its indexes: everything starts working slowly, until I run a maintenance plan that rebuilds its indexes etc.
In the database/server all relevant options seem to be ok (auto update statictiscs etc.), and my conclusion that it doesn't use its indexes comes from the fact that:
* it gives the results from certain select statements in a totally different order (although the set of rows is the same),
* performance is (all of a sudden) very slow (seconds turning to minutes!!)
This happens:
* at least after a reboot of the server
* sometimes just in the middle of the day
The only way I've found to solve the matter, is by running the maintenance plan to rebuild the indexes, but sometimes this only seems to work the second time.
Does anybody share this experience, or know what to do about it?
Thanks,
Nick.
