SQL7
If I have a job that runs every minute, and that job happens to take more than one minute to run on occassion, will SQL Server start a second instance of the job or will it be serial - one after another ?
Thanks,

Disaster Recovery Options based on the following criteria.
--Currently running SQL 2012 standard edition
--We have 18000 databases (same schema across databases)- majority of databases are less than 2gb-- across 64 instances approximately
--Recovery needs to happen within 1 hour (Not sure that this is realistic
-- We are building a new data center and building dr from the ground up.
What I have looked into is:
1. Transactional Replication: Too Much Data Not viable
2. AlwaysOn Availability Groups (Need enterprise) Again too many databases and would have to upgrade all instances
3. Log Shipping is a viable option and the only one I can come up with that would work right now. Might be a management nightmare but with this many databases probably all options with be a nightmare.
Hi,
I want to move one database from the source SQL Server 2000 instance to a new SQL 2000 instance in another machine. I have five user databases in this source SQL instance. How should be my approach to move this single database out of this ? My understanding is restoring this database in the new instance, copying all logins to the new instance and then copying the jobs, DTS packages, alerts, operators only specific to this database will do it. Please let me know if this is exactly what I should do ..
Thanks in advance..

I work for a mid size company with the usual collection of enterprise applications. We are trying to consolidate our SQL environment consisting of around 100 databases none of which are over 100GB with the average database size around 5GB. Recently a large server was purchased as the "Big Daddy" SQL box. Obviously not all the databases will be moved to this one box but within reason a number can.
My question: What is the best way to configure the box?
1 OS & 1 Default Instance - How do we isolate loops memory leaks etc...
1 OS & Multiple instances, ie:Dedicated instance for each application. - How do you allocate CPU & memory, allow for optimum performance without putting others at risk from a rouge process?
Virtualized OS for each application with a default instance - Too much overhead impacts performance?
Future plans include offsite replication, perhaps mirroring with failover.
I'd appreciate anyone else's thoughts ideas? How have you tackled this problem in your environment?
Thanks

Using Management Studio (April CTP), I tried to connect to integration services. There was no server listed, so I added my computer jaargeroxpctp and this went fine.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat is the effect of deploying Multi-Server instance on performance?
View 3 Replies View Related I have figured out that SSIS installs once for as many instances of SQL Server 2005 as there are on the machine. I also figured out that even if there is only a named instance on the machine, it will always install under the "Default" machine named instance.
I also figured out that you can change the instance viewed by modifying C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSBinnMsDtsSrvr.ini.xml
What I am unclear about is that in SQL Server 2000, each Instance had an MSDB db which stored all of the jobs. In SQL Server 2005, each instance still has an MSDB DB but theSSIS also has a MSDB DB ?? or is this pointing to the MSDB for the instance specified in the xml file???
There is not much info out on this at all and would be good if the MSDB help explained this install once so it would all be clear!
THanks for any help... thank goodness for newsgroups!
Hello
I created a table adapter with the following query
select * from building where buildingname in (@param1)
I used the query builder to the test the query and it works ok if I pass a single value
ex: name: @param1 value: Building1
but when I use the value: Building1, Building2 then it doesn't return anything
If i do a direct sql: select * from building where buildingname in ('Buiding1','Buiding2') returns many rows.
Now I have a class that has the following function<System.ComponentModel.DataObjectMethodAttribute(ComponentModel.DataObjectMethodType.Select, False)> _
Public Function getBuilding(ByVal building As String) As myDataSet.buildingDataTableReturn adapter.getBuilding(building)
End Function
When I call this function I try to pass the building value sorta like
dim building as string = 'Building1,Building2'
and it doesn't work. I tried a whole bunch of variations.
How are you supposed to format the parameter string?
Thanks

I have a parameterized main report that contains a link to a sub report with parameters. Then from the sub report I have a link that takes you back to main report. If I use multi value parameters or single value parameters the links going back and forth between the two reports works just dandy, when I run it on my PC. However when I deploy the reports to the Web Server, the link going from the sub report back to the main report only works if the parameters are single select. Going from the Main to the Sub it doesn€™t matter.
This is the error I get using multi select parameters going from the sub report back to the main.
The path of the item "(null)" is not valid. The path must be less than 260 characters long and must start with slash. Other restrictions apply. (rsInvalidItemPath)
Any suggestions?
I understand most of the concepts for the Active/active setup. I am setting up a 2 node cluster. My question is can I use the default instance name (one default instance name per group) when setting up each instance or do I have to use named instances . I am assuming that since each group is a virtual machine that I can get away with using the default instance, but I cant find any documentation to confirm my frequently wrong perceptions.
I want to set it up like this
Instance1 Group
Group resources
Default SQL Instance Name Installation
Preferred Owner Node1
Instance2 Group
Group resources
Default SQL Instance Name Installation
Preferred Owner Node2
Thanks
The latest similar question is almost a year old and hasn't been definitively answered. I'm designing a certificate type report where the declaration text uses static and dynamic text generated in an expression for the textbox. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be an obvious way of formating sections of the text expression with different font sizes, weights and attributes to depict the effect desired. E.g. I want one textbox to say:
This Certifies that {a field value} was blah blah blah by {another field value} etc.
Can this be done in a regular textbox? If not, are there any work-arounds to accomplish the same effect. BTW, I'm working in RS 2005 flavor with VS 2005 Report Designer.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I had a multi publisher single subscriber replication in my job and now i want remove it. i disabled the subscriber. Now if i disable the publisher and distributor then it gives me a error cannot drop the distribution DB because it is currently in use. this DB can never be dropped since there is at least one publisher at one time that accesses this DB everytime. How should I disable this publication.
I have 2 SQL server installs for 2008 R2 configured as multi instances. I have a product called Esri ArcMap 10.3 that can be used to generate a database. When I run the wizard against one installation, the wizard successfully creates the database. When I then run the same against the other installation it fails with the following error [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0]Invalid cursor state
I've attempted to look at the configuration of each using
select *
from master.sys.configurations
From this I found several differences
Successful Mulit instance
Optimize for Ad hoc Workloads – False
Max Degree of Parallelism - 0
UnSuccessful Multi instance
Optimize for Ad hoc Workloads – True
Max Degree of Parallelism - 4
I attempted to co-ordinate the differences running the wizard for each iteration but it always failed with the same error above. The error always seems to occur when a particular store procedure is run. There are quite a number of scripts run prior to this and are technically under the covers and only discovered via tracing, in this case using SQL Profiler. I don't have access to individual scripts that I can run incrementally to replicate the issue. I have to rely only on the Esri Wizard.
Reviewing the error against several forums suggests that this is an ODBC error but the trace I ran using SQL Profiler finds that the driver used is Native.
My question then is "What are the conditions that would cause this error above (Invalid Cursor)?" "Is there other configuration settings that are not captured via the SQL identified above?" "Could this be caused by mapped drives for data, Logs and Temp?"
I want to maintain all configurations in Single table, what is the best way to approach it.

I've went throught the SP4 documentation but I didn't find a clear answer about how to deal with this situation:
In the situation of a multi instances server in which all instances are SP3a, can I just upgrade a couple of instances to SP4 and leave the others in SP3a ? .
One of the instances I may have to leave in SP3a belongs to a merge replication environnement (Distributor and Publisher), while the Subscriber is also in SP3 on a remote server (which I don't administer..).(the point is that in this situation I have to upgrade the 2 servers simultaneously)
In other words, when I 'll apply the SP4 to just one instance, I understood that the all the tools will be upgraded to SP4.
Will the merge replication involving a SP3 instance on the same server still work?
Thanks for your comments/replies/ideas.

Would it be possible to get a multi-database functionality on the same instance option available in SSMS anytime soon?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI got issue when passing multiple values to a single parameter. Here is my stored procedure as following:

I have a DB that is currently not normalized and will be getting about 100K concurrent users that will mostly be doing Read-Only operations from multiple tables.
I am trying to figure out if I should start thinking of having a DB per client (1000 clients) or if I should normalize the database and keep it as a single DB with good indexes and partitioning.
Hardware is not a problem but 100K concurrent users is.
I have tried everything I found on Google, but nothing seems to be working. Already Ran alter command set multi_user, but getting an error.
"Msg 5064, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

is it possible to use a single connection object shared by severaltasks where each task is handled by a thread? these tasks call storedprocedures that return record sets, no editing, update or delete.my objective is that db connection is expensive and each user can onlyhave 1 connection object. each user submits a request to the webserver, and the result web page construction consists of a number ofresult sets obtained from several stored procedure from the samedatabase instance.i could obtained my result sets by making each sp call one at a timebut was thinking whether i could instead break up the tasks, create athread for each task that shares the same db connection objectconcurrently. the connection object will be alive until all tasks arecompleted, that is if the final object ive could be achieved in ashorter time. No connection pooling here.i am wondering over questions like:1. within the same db instance, if 2 stored procedures need to accessthe same table, does SQLserver queue-up and service one request at atime.2. would there be any problem using the connection object this way,sharing between multiple theads?3. is it possible that a 'dead-lock' may occur within the DB?of cos this whole idea can be absurd and into the trash if theconnection object doesn't support multi-thread and is queue based inthe first place.pardon me if my SQL server basics is off track. been doing too manyother things.thanks,meng

I'm using SSRS 2005 which connects to SQL Server 2005. I need to pass Multi valus for single parameter...
E.g. Command type : Text
SELECT * FROM COUNTRY where CountryId IN ( @CountryID)
If i tried to preview using single parameter, it shows the record without any problem. However when i tried to put multi values, it gives error message?? I read somewhere which says, need to set to multivalue. But, i could not find the place to set the multi value option...
How to solve it?? Your suggestion/recommendations greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to install 2 SSAS instance (one default and one named) and have them access a single sql server instance (default) all on the same server?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got a 4 node SQL 2008R2 cluster (configured 2 active - 2 passive), and 9 instances, of which all but one are on SP1 (the most recent addition is on SP2).
I need to apply a hotfix (Cumulative Update 6 for SP1) to just one instance. Can I do this by failing over the affected instance to one of the passive nodes, applying the hotfix, and failing it back again or do I need to apply the hotfix to all nodes as detailed in:
SQL Server failover cluster rolling patch and service pack process
i.e. will it involve a little downtime for all instances on the cluster?
I have a sp where query is as below.
DECLARE @ServerCIName varchar(5000)
SELECT * FROMÂ dbo.INC
WHERE Status in ('Assigned','In Progress','Pending')
and Description like '%' + (Select * from SplitDelimiterString(@ServerName,',')) + '%'
and (select DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, (Submit_Date)), 0)) = (select DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, getdate()), 0))
In place of "and Description like '%' + (Select * from SplitDelimiterString(@ServerName,',')) + '%' ", if I use "and Description like '%' + @ServerName + '%' " and pass a single value, it works.
But @ServerName contains multiple values and it is dynamic (not constant).
How do I query the data?
hello we want to evaluate TS foundation server but it says it won't support developer edition sql, only sql2k5 stanard. But now we have DEVELOPER version on our development sql server, DEVDATA1, i.e. instances DEVDATA1DEV, and DEVDATA1QA are both installed on the same sql server box with both SP1 applied.
How can we update DEVDATA1QA to Standard version while still have SP1 applied? we just install Standard CD and then apply SP1 again?
Because this instance is our QA version, before we do something silly, if any of you did that before, any advice would be really helpful.
thanks in advance.
I have been looking at this statement for allowing access from a remote location to a specific database on my SQL Server (2005) from a client application.
Is it possible to do this using this method? I see lots of examples using this to expose Web Services of DB objects, however I need the client application to be able to authenticate to and access all objects in the database. If so, could some one provide a simple example of the arguments to use? For example, which protocol arguments are valid for this? I would like to use SQL Server Authentication. Is this possible?

Can someone explain what does this mean? This is from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/dbmirror.mspx
<quote>However, all these techniques for coordinating client redirection with a database mirroring have an important limitation. Database mirroring occurs only at the database level, not the server level. Be careful if your application relies on querying several databases on a server, or uses multi-part object names to query across several databases. When several databases reside on one server, and they are mirrored to a standby server, it is possible that one of several databases might fail over to the standby but the others remain on the original server. In that case, you might need one connection per database that you are querying, so that you do not attempt cross-database queries on a standby server where only one database is a principal and the remaining are mirrors.</quote>
Also I read somewhere that if one mirrored DB fails, all other mirrored DB should also be transferred to the mirror.
For example: Let's say Srv1 (principle) and Srv2 (mirror) and Srv3(witness) are SQL servers with only default instances. The SQL instance has 4 DBs (DB1, DB2, DB3, DB4) and all of them are mirrored to Srv2.
An ASP.NET application has four seperate connection strings like:
objConn1 --> Data Source=Srv1;Failover Partner=Srv2;Initial Catalog=DB1;Integrated Security=True;
objConn1.connect();
objConn2 --> Data Source=Srv1;Failover Partner=Srv2;Initial Catalog=DB2;Integrated Security=True;
objConn2.connect();
objConn3 --> Data Source=Srv1;Failover Partner=Srv2;Initial Catalog=DB3;Integrated Security=True;
objConn3.connect();
objConn4 --> Data Source=Srv1;Failover Partner=Srv2;Initial Catalog=DB4;Integrated Security=True;
objConn4.connect();
If DB2 failsover to Srv2 (mirror), why should all other DBs be failedover?
Thanks
I admit I am a novice to queries and stored procedures but understand stored procedures are more secure, so I am choosing to challenge myself with a stored procedure and have not been successful at all.
What I am looking for is a stored procedure which would query the single table named Hospital, which would search from a single textbox the end user would enter the text they are searching for on a Windows VB application but is dependant on a few end user selected items.
1. The end user can select a radio button either "Starts with" or "Contains"
2. The end user can select from 6 checkboxes (Hospitals, Address, City, State, Zip, Type) to limit or expand their search from the columns in the table.
The table has 17columns (CO, PARENTCO, ADDR, POBox, CITY, State, ZIP, TEL, FAX, WEBSITE, HOSP_TYPE, OWNERSHIP, BEDS, CONTACT, TITLE, Email) but I am only allowing the end user to search by the above 6 columns and need to display the above 6 columns plus the phone, fax and website columns.
After the user clicks the search button it displays the results in a listbox and the user will then select the one they want and it displays the information in another set of textboxes.
Hopefully someone can get me pointed in the right direction! Thanks for your help!
Do you need to enable Always on Availabilty on all the instances or only the instance you need to ?. We have 4 instances on a 5 node cluster and we only need one instance for the Always on to be enabled. Do we need to enable on all 4 instances ?
