I have a problem where Backup Exec crashed during a backup of a SQL database and now SQL show 3 extent lock that are now redundant. These cannot be removed from Enterprise manager Is it therefore possible to remove them directly from the master database ??
Thanks
I've got an INSERT that's selecting data from a linked server and attempting to push 10 million rows into the blank table. More or less, it looks like this:
insert into ReceivingTable (
Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4
, Field5, Field6, Field7, Field8
, Field9, Field10, Field11, Field12
, Field13, Field14, Field15
[code]...
The instance of the SQL Server Database Engine cannot obtain a LOCK resource at this time. Rerun your statement when there are fewer active users. Ask the database administrator to check the lock and memory configuration for this instance, or to check for long-running transactions. There are no other active users. I ran it again and monitored the following DMO to watch the growth of locks for that spid:
SELECT request_session_id, COUNT (*) num_locks
-- select *
FROM sys.dm_tran_locks
--where request_session_id = 77
GROUP BY request_session_id
ORDER BY count (*) DESC
The number of locks started small and held for a while around 4-7 locks, but at about 5 minutes in the number of locks held by that spid grew dramatically to more than 8 million before finally erroring again with the same message. Researching, I can't figure out why it's not escalating from row locks to table locks at the appropriate threshold. The threshold in was set to 0 at first (Server Properties > Advanced > Parallelism > Locks). I set it to 5000, and it still didn't seem to work. Rewriting the INSERT to include a WITH (TABLOCK) allows it to finish successfully in testing. My problem is that it's coming out of an ETL with source code that I can't edit. I need to figure out how to force it to escalate to locking the entire table via table or server level settings.
A colleague suggested that installing service packs may take care of it (the client is running SQL Server 2008 R2 (RTM)), but I haven't found anything online to support that theory.
We are migrating our database(s) from ORACLE to SQL. In Oracle we were able to issue a SELECT statement and see all of the locks (Blocking and Non-Blocking) currently in the system. The query also included the Process ID of the process we needed to kill in order to get rid of the lock.
We now need to create the same type of query for Microsoft SQL Server 2012. I have seen postings on different sites saying that this info can be obtained using SP_WHO2 or using the SQL Server Management Studio Activity Monitor's PROCESSES tab, but we are looking for a SELECT statement that will give us similar information.
I have created a VB 6.0 application that reads data from old db files into the SQL Server 2000 database using DTS stored structure files.
The application works fine with Windows NT but I keep getting an error in Windows 2000 environment.
"-2147220441(80040427) Execution Canceled By User"
Any ideas why?
I need to syncronize two separate databases. One is SQL Server the other is MySql. I don't have a lot of experience with MSSQL and need a little advice on how best (in terms of speed especially) to gather records that have been added since the last sync and any that have been modified. The table in question has datetime fields for both, the time each record was created (CreatedTime) and the time that the record was last modified (ModifiedTime). Sync will happen daily.
I have worked out a few ways I might do this with DATEADD or DATEDIFF, but my question is, what is the most effecient way? Currently I'm just looking for a way to get inserted and updated records from SQL Server to MySQL. I may have to do a two way sync of some sort later.
I don't wich choice should I made to avoid have to see the systems objects, for intance, when I open the tables of any Data Base I have like 50 that I haven´t create, so if any one can help me, I will be gratefull, it might sound like BOBO, but I jist don't know. Thanks

I was wondering if anyone could suggest a web-based help desk systemthat uses MS SQL server that also has a knowledge base and also allowssupport employees to log how much time they have spent on eachparticular ticket. I'm after an 'affordable' system that would be usedby about 35 people.Otherwise, if you can think of a better place to ask around, let meknow!Regards,Belinda

and so on.
I would like to use a database structure and possibly hot link the document to the DB.
I would like to use xml (if possible) for the metadata.

Hi everyone,
Im having a hard time deciding what approach should I take. The scenario is this: I have developed various systems (inventory, HR, accounting, etc.). All this systems are (and should be) tightly integrated with one another. At present, for all these systems, i've used a single DB prefixing the tables with the systems name (eg. Inventory.Items).
My question is: did I did the right (and practical) thing? Or should I create a DB for each system to organize them? The problem with multiple DBs is some system uses the other system's table(s). Example, if i created a separate DB for accounting, and a separated DB for inventory, and another for HR, how am I going to relate inventory and HR's accounts to the accounting DB's table? I want a single instance for each table; I don't want to create another account table for inventory or HR so I can enforce integrity. And if different DBs, is there a performance impact on this?
Or is there another way? My concern is performance and manageability. Please help. Thanks!
I currently run SQL Server 2005 64-bit Developer Edition (Service Pack 2 - it will be SP 3 as soon as I can get hold of it). I am running this on a stand-alone box with Windows Server 2003 as the OS.
Soon, I will be buying another computer for a colleague who will be running SQL Server as specified above. However, I am not happy with Windows Server and am wondering about changing to either XP 64-bit or Vista 64-bit. The machine will not be networked.
I would welcome advice on this since, in some ways, I would be happy enough to use XP or Vista, and think that 64-bit development is more likely on Vista than on other Windows OS's. However, I am not convinced that SQL Server 2005 works with Vista and, like everyone else, have heard plenty of complaints about Vista.
All advice gratefully received.
Thanks.

Hi evrybody,
I MBA Systems (2005 passout) and doing OCA & OCP.
but currently doing job as HR (1.5 yrs exp).
I want to know How tough it will be for me to get job in Software?
Is it so easy guys?
I'm working on an income deferral problem and we are using IRR to end up calculating periodic income.
As an example, I have the following inputs:
Number of periods = 9
Initial Loan = 21.46
Instalment amount =15.30
Future value=0
Guess=0.1 (10%)
Using a compiled function from Visual Studio in SQL Server 2008 we get a result of 70.71656373
Using a Microsoft Access function we get NaN
Using Microsoft Excel we get NaN
Using a web calculator we get 70 (ish, the calculator rounds the numbers)
I know that the numbers are odd, some of our data is dirty so we do expect that. I was expecting the SQL process to kick out an error (therefore converting the result into 0), but it doesn't.
In 2000 there was a server level setting you could change in EM, to allow direct modifications to systems catalogs.
in 2005 I would like to update some sids in sysusers tables, do I also need to find and set this option first

We're planning to migrate our db to new and more disk drives, fasterRAID levels and more dedicated disk usage(e.g. placing the translog ondedicated disks). The db server runs on Win2003.Right now we're thinking about what file system to use on the newdrives. We opt for performance, but expect reliability as well.(Goeswithout saying, IMHO ;-))

I was going over this article , and was intrigued by this statement "If SQL Server 2005 Express is running on Windows XP Home, it is limited to five simultaneous connections. If it is running on Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional, it is limited to 10 simultaneous connections. However, these are limitations of the operating system and not of SQL Server 2005 Express."
What are simultaneous connections? Is this related to Max worker threads defined as 255 on other editions? How does underlying OS impose how many connections can be done to SQL server. And finally how many simultaneous connections can be done in Windows Server 2003?
I want to change the (dateformat) columns in (syslanguages) tables from dmy to mdy in SQL Server 2005,

Can any body help me.
I am using SQL 2005 with reporting services, I have very basic reports, most users can print fine with the print icon in the toolbar, some users get the Blue screen and have to reboot. They have the rsclientprint.dll loaded in the browser, we have deleted it and reloaded, what do I do ?

Hello,
I am in the process of learning SSIS to step into a business intelligence role in my company, which is a Microsoft CRM/GP VAR. I plan to use SSIS for building data warehouses. However, I'm aware that my company also uses a tool called Scribe to integrate data from non-CRM systems into Microsoft CRM. Can anyone explain to me the difference between SSIS and Scribe? Can SSIS reasonably accomplish what my company now uses Scribe to do? Mostly, Scribe seems to be used for scheduled one- or two-way scheduled data pushes.
Thanks,
Andy
We are currently utilizing a risk management software that is using a SSMS back end. However the database is extremely normalized and hard to find data. I am looking for one particular item (column) to bounce against another report I created, to find the delta's.
I found an XML string that looks to have data captured in it, almost like VB marked up in XML. This XML has the column name (source and the desitination column). However when I go into the other tables I am unable to find either column?
Could it be that the application is referencing the XML strings in the column to present the data through the application? Is this some sort of way to prevent people from back dooring their data? Maybe I just missed the table with the column name.
Hi all,
I am a Windows Sysadmin (Active Directory, infrastructure, etc) with light knowledge of SQL 2005. I can set up the database cluster on a shared storage device, I know how to get the heartbeat, do simple backups, etc.
My question pertains to disaster recovery. Right now, we use a product called DoubleTake to copy our database over and 'assume' the identity of the failed SQL server. There are two problems with this -- cost of the license of DoubleTake, and additionally, is it the best method?
I have read before, that you don't need to be a DBA to set up a DR scenario for SQL. My goal really is to have two databases -- one in our production location, and one in a DR location that is pretty much cold (for licensing issues).
If our production database should go down, then it would fail over to the DR site.
What is involved in doing this, what type of steps are required, do you NEED a DBA to manage this, or can a sysadmin (such as myself) take care of it? Also, is it worth having DoubleTake to do this job, and does it do a better or worse job, are there limitations, etc.
Thank you for any replies you can give, and please keep in mind that I'm far from a DBA .
hi all,
i have a requirement that web service running in one system and sql server 2005 database running in another systems which is not working currently.
suppose i create end point in the system where sql server 2005 database is there,then its working fine.
Actually for creating end point we should have windows server 2003 or SP2.Configuration part i dont have any hindrance.
Can any one tell how to run webservice in one system with sql server 2005 in another system.
Thanks

I am trying to build a query which will be used in an automated report to calculate failure rates of systems based on cases opened through support. Here is where I am stuck. Some systems may have multiple cases opened within the same span of another cases however we would consider this one failure:
System ACase12013-07-11 13:17:09.0002013-07-15 12:05:03.000
System ACase22013-07-12 16:27:50.0002013-07-12 16:29:12.000
System ACase32013-07-12 17:30:32.0002013-07-12 17:40:11.000
System ACase42013-07-12 19:00:24.0002013-07-12 19:04:14.000
System ACase52013-10-01 18:02:23.0002013-10-01 18:11:26.000
Lets say System A generated those 5 cases however Case 2,3 and 4 all happened within the same period as Case 1 so those 4 cases should count as one failure so my end result should be
System ACase12013-07-11 13:17:09.0002013-07-15 12:05:03.000
System ACase52013-10-01 18:02:23.0002013-10-01 18:11:26.000
And that system should show me 2 failures. I was thinking of using a temp table but not sure if that is possible as I am stumped on how to compare the dates to be able to validate if they fall within the range of an older case and whether or not to include them into the new Temp Table.
hi guys,
i am having a truble in accesing the server 2005 express edition from my client systems in server 2003 domain network. i get server not accessible. whereas my domain is working perfectly. i really tried alot and i have enable tcpip and named pipes and i am still getting errors while accessing. i have also created user reights for the domain users to access sql server. still i couldn't able to access it.
please guide me to over come this issue. I'm dying.My project is similar to SAP concept project and i am doing it in a production industry.so each department as to access the data from the server to update their daily production and activity.
thnks in advance.

We are migrating data from old DB2 systems to sql server 2012, the DATE FORMAT in those systems is in decimal format with 7 digits. CYYMMDD format.
I need to convert this into DD/MM/YYYY format.
I have read that even during read procedures (sql select statements), sql server uses row locking. I know that you can use the NOLOCK keyword, but if you don't everytime that a user makes a selects statement on a table, does sql server really lock those rows, and if so are they then unavailable to another user who wants to make a select statement at the same time on that same table? That does not seem like it would be the case otherwise it would not scale well. Thanks for any clarification on this.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using SQL Server7.0. I opened a table through the Enterprise Manager and left it open. In the Query Analyzer when I try to update a field on that table(more than 2000 rows), it goes on running. When I watched the Current Activity, it shows that the update process is being blocked by the select query. But if I try to update the same column for less than 1500 rows, there is no blocking issue and the update occurs immediately. Can anybody let me know why this is happening and what should I do to prevent it?

what the best way to control locks, if inserting couple thousands records from one table to another.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi
I have a big query which updates around 14000 rows at a time if i place a lock on the table and others try to update the same table is it possible to let them know that table is locked by someone else.
2 quick questions :
1) How do I keep multiple users from editing the same record without locking the entire table? What would be a 'standard' way of handling this?
2) How do I keep 2 people from posting the same record?
Please help me understand locking, THANKS!!!
I have a stored proc which will be entering/updating a record into a table. The table's key is an integer field which I may have to increment by one. I know I can use
declare @nextid int
set @netxid = max(id) from table
insert @nextid into table
Is some kind of lock the best way to approach this?
