Any list of commands that require exclusive access in order for the command to complete? I had an instance today where a DBA executed sp_changedbowner command which is the alter database command on a production database and it locked it up.
View 0 RepliesOr can it record before and after column changes based on the LSN only?
An extract from a file based legacy accounting system is performed every night. The system does not have a primary key because transactions are managed through program code. (the more things change...). The extract is copied to text in Unix and FTP'd to Windows, where the file is loaded into SQL Server by kill & fill. Because of the expense of modifying the source system, there is enormous inertia/resistance to injecting a primary key at the source, so kill & fill it stays.
In reading about Change Data Capture, it seemed to me that column level insert update and delete are stored in tables that remember the before and after content of each column tracked. In my reading I have seen many references to the LSN to decide when and what to record as changed, but I have not seen any refereference to the necessity of a primary key for Change Data Capture to work. This is in contrast to replication, where the requirement for the existence of a primary key is made plain.
Is it possible to use Change Data Capture against a table without a primary key? How to use it to change the extract from kill and fill to incremental.
Hi everyone,
Hope somebody can help me on this.
I did a full BACKUP for two SQL databases using SQL Server Managament Studio. When trying to RESTORE the DBs, I get the following error:
"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)"
There are NO users using the application. These are DBs for the Portfolio Server 2007 application.
After exploring a little bit, I found that there are several "SLEEPING" processes with an "AWATING COMMAND" flag. The processes come from the Portfolio Server Application, maybe from previous sessions.
Can they be deleted? if so, would there be any serious consequences?
Thank you for your help on this.

I have created a SQL Agent job that is supposed to essentially duplicate a production database to another database. The code I am using is:
step1
__________________________________________________ ______
declare @sql varchar(8000)
set @sql=''
select @sql=@sql+'kill '+cast(spid as varchar)+char(13)+char(10)
from sysprocesses where dbid=12
--Print (@SQL)
exec(@sql)
step2
__________________________________________________ ________
RESTORE DATABASE HIWDYNARPT FROM PRDBACKUP
WITH REPLACE
__________________________________________________ ______
This works when I test it during the day, however when it runs at night I get the following error in the job log:
Database in use. The system administrator must have exclusive use of the database to run the restore operation. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3101) Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.
I'm not sure why this happens because I have killed all open threads in step 1, and then create my own new thread in step two. Maybe someone else is initiating a new thread to quickly between the steps???
Anyway, I am trying to use:
__________________________________________________ __
ALTER DATABASE HIWDYNARPT
RESTRICTED_USER
WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
__________________________________________________ ____
...as an alternative to the T-SQL killing PID's, but SQL 7.0 SP4 does not seem to support restricted user like 2000. It keeps giving me a syntax error. Does anyone have any suggestions?
If I bring step 1 and step 2 together, separated by "GO", could this fix the problem?
Thanks in advance!

Could anybody give a lead as to what I can do get rid off this error please.
I alread tried following:
use master
go
Alter Database dbname set single_user with rollback immediate;
go
Still have the issue. SQL 2005 Server actually did lock the db.
So ran
Alter Database dbname set multi_user;
go
and refresh Query and it switch back to multi user.
But I can't restore db yet.
Thank you
My SQL knowledge is limited to only trial-and-error and on-the-fly learning, sadly. However, I've had past experience with VB and some earlier, more basic programming, so I don't find it that difficult to grasp; it's just rather overwhelming without any formalized training.
I'm trying now to solve a problem that involves a sales history report. Our sales history table lists only records for product lines which a customer has purchased in the past. However, the budgeting team needs a list of each customer with all product lines, even if they've never purchased, and they'd like to include an industry code value that is from another table.
So the way the tables are looking is this:
Sales_History as the main table with the appropriate data in it
Product_Lines as a reference to fill out the main table with non-purchased lines
Accounts as another reference that gives the industry code per the customer ID in the main table''I'm seemingly on the right track with the following, which tries to create a list of all product lines and the records from sales_history which match them:
SELECT sales_history.sah_sort_id,sales_history.sah_sortkey3,sales_history.sah_sortkey2_desc,
prod_lines.pl_prodline_id,prod_lines.pl_short_desc
FROM dbo.sales_history
INNER JOIN prod_lines ON sales_history.sah_sortkey3=prod_lines.pl_prodline_id
[code]...
However, this produces a list of only 21 rows, when there should be 41.
Hi,
I wanted to know if there is a way to execute sql commands on the operating system's command line. If it is possible, then how do we do it ? For example to execute a SELECT * from Table statement what are we supposed to do ?

One of my SQL Servers (SQL 2000 SP4) is reporting this error in the Maintenance Plan. But shortly after it shows this error is does successfully backup my Databases (per log history), however the plan is indicating "failure".
I have no idea how to resolve this nor why it is happening.

How to close the existing connections to a particluar database in sql server. Please note that i donot want to start stop sql server. I just want to close the existing connections so that i can do a restore on that database programatically.
I am using sqldmo for this purpose. Does anyone knows how to do that with sqldmo or is there any other method??
Waiting for your earliest replies
Hi!
We're using a backup with sql server agent when doing a backup / restore
procedure. In some cases I get the following error when the restore job
fails:
Executed as user: DOMAINAdministrator. Exclusive access could not be
obtained because the database is in use. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3101)
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013).
The step failed.
Is it related to unhandled lock? I've resolved this by restarting the sql
server. But is there a way to avoid such issues?
One more question. Is it OK to backup/restore database while there're users
connected? Or I can do only backup?
Purpose
I would like to know if it is possible and if so how to implement exclusive access to a given record within in a database table.
Example
For example, you can open a file system file with exclusive access so other processes cannot access the file until it is released. I would like to implement a solution that provides this same exclusive access at the database record level. Preferably a solution that does not require creating and managing table access state flags. (i.e. €“ FieldName.State = (Closed, Opened, Exclusive)) I would like for the database server to mange this solution and return an error status when trying to access a record that has been opened exclusively. Furthermore, I would like to avoid using triggers.
Application Utilization
I€™m working on a system that has multiple threads that are each responsible managing data from the same normalized table. Each of these system threads work on the same unique record in parallel. Therefore it is possible that thread (0)€™s changes could be overwritten by thread (n)€™s. I would like to have each thread open the unique record exclusively and release it when finished. All of the other threads would loop until the record is released.
Questions
1. Is it possible to implement this at the server level?
2. What would be the easiest best practice for implementing this functional requirement?
Thanks,
Sean
Hi All,
My question is regarding SQL Server database security. I want to create a login using SQL Server Authentication and assign it db_owner rights for my database. So far so good. But the critical part is that I want to give exclusive rights for my database to this user only i.e. no other users (dbo, guest etc) should be allowed to access my database.
It will be good to present here the scenario which I need to implement. I am running an ASP.NET application that uses SQL server 2005 db at back end. The database server might have other databases as well but I don't want the administrator (either SQL server admin or the server administrator) to be able to get access to my database or even view the schema. I don't want any other user except my own user to be able to detach the database or perform backup or restore operations.
I hope I was able to deliver the requirement.

Trying to build a list of order numbers based on stock availability.
The data looks something like this:
OrderNumber Stockcode quantityordered quantityinstock
123 code1 10 5
123 code2 5 10
124 code3 15 20
124 code4 10 10
In this case I would like to output a single result for each order, but based on stock availability order 123 is not a complete order and 124 is so the results will need to reflect this.
I have been trying to convert an existing table that used adjacency list model (parentid,childid) to a table that use hierarchy Id type. So early on, I notice my original data does contains multiple roots. So I took a step to create dummy nodes to ensure all nodes fall into a single root structure. Another important fact is that each child node can have multiple parents.
My original source table contains 22461 records, when running the query below step 2 produces explosive number of records around 175,000+ records. I spent hours study the result and couldn't understand what actually causing this, I ran it against small set of test data I didn't seem the issue caused by child with multiple parents.
select * from SourceTable -- produces 22461 records
--step 1: first, get row number of child records in each parent
SELECT ChildID,ParentID, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY PARENTID ORDER BY PARENTID) as Num
INTO #RelationshipTmp
FROM SourceTable;

12345 | 30 |true |OVER
33334 |2| true |REG
