Help ! My sqlservr service is running at 100% and my server is dog slow. I don see anything unusual when looking at current activity or sp_who2. I have restarted it a few times.. ANy suggestions? I only have one database in production on this server and there are only about 10 users hitting it..
I have developed my web application using ASP.Net with MS SQL SERVER Express Edition SP2 . I have hosting it at some where which i can remote and see the service of sqlservr.exe . The first start of this service take the memory space just only 25 MB but after this service run upto one week it increased up to 200MB .This service won't realease from the memory untill unless i restart the server or restart its service.
1.Could any one tell me why this service continue increasingly ?. 2.What can i configure in MS SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS Edition to let this release from the memory without restart the server or its service ?.
hello, We are having an issue with tempdb growth and even after restarting the server and the shrinkfile command the tempdb still holds on to nearly 15 GB of space. I found this article on the microsoft website which recommended that we stop SQL server and retart it from the commad prompt using the sqlservr -c -f command. After this we go to SQL Analyzer and run the shrinkfile.
I gave the sqlservr command on a friday evening in our test enviroment and I come back on monday morning and it is still not completed and i had to close the window and start SQL Server from Windows.
Is there something that i am missing here that i should know about the sqlservr command. Is there anything else that someone could recommend regarding shrinking the tempdb.
The sqlservr.exe process is using almost 800MB of memory in Task Manager. We have 1GB physical RAM. The swapfile is on C: with min=950/max=1050MB. Is this normal? I think there may be some kind of memory leak. Any ideas?? Please HELP!
Can I know somedetail about why the Sqlservr.exe app increasing in size drastically. Even I check all parameter of the server and I check the process running on server.
I feel server is not releasing the queues and It is occupying the memory. I any one suggest what could be the cause ?
I have been dealing with an intermittent problem for several months that manifests itself on my computer as well as a customers computer. It is happening so often, upon booting the computer, that I just open and then minimize the Task Manager so that it will be in the Tool Tray and the bargraph will be visible.
From time to time the processor bargraph will "Max out" and when I open Task Manager and click on CPU in the Processes Tab, SQLServr.exe is using 99% of the CPU.
In Enterprise Manager I have set maximum Memory to 25% of the available system memory. I have tried this in both Fixed mode as well as Dynamic mode, no change.
I was told that there was a SQL Server version that was susceptible to a WORM that caused this. I have since upgraded to SQL ver. 8.0.194. I'm not sure of the version that I replaced, but I thought that the previous version was the one that was susceptible to the worm.
Has anyone fought this battle and if so can you offer any experience or advice?
I have a problem with sqlservr.exe (version 2005). It use alot of memory. I check on taskbar manager sqlservr.exe usage (CPU 10 - 20%, Mem usage - 1,493,688/2GB Ram). I dont know how can I fix it. Some body could help me please.

We have an apparent File Handle leak occurring in our SQL server. Last weekend the server ran out of non-paged pool space:
Event ID 2019 -The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the pool was empty.
In the process monitor the sqlservr.exe process had Mem Usage of 503,528KB and a handle count of 3,306,263 (!). Using poolmon the highest usage of the non-paged pool was for the Muta tag, with 211,610,768 Bytes. Restarting the sql service fixes this temporarily, but already we are back to 427,000 handles for sqlservr.exe and climbing steadily at about 200,000 handles per day.
Is there a fix for this?
Cheers, Geoff

Hello All,On all of my SQL servers (2000 with SP3), when I go to task manager andlook at memory usage, sqlservr.exe is always at 1.7gigs. If I reducethe maximum to let's say 1 gig it will go down to 1 gig. But if it iseven at 2gigs or 3 gigs it will be showing 1.7 gigs. Why? Is is ok toreduce the memory usage of sqlservr.exe?Raziq.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
I've a SQL 7 SP3 server that was running for more than 6 months without any problem and hence I never give much thought to it other than the monitoring the growth of the database size.
Just the other day, I was pretty shocked to see that SQLSERVR.EXE was using nearly 1 GB of RAM (and I have 1 GB of physical RAM)!!! My database size is only about 2 GB and there aren't many simultaneous users online. This database is used for a web application.
Today I have the opportunity to restart the SQLServer service (to apply the security hotfix). And I'm pretty dismay to see its memory usage climbing steadily at the rate of around 20 to 30 KB every few seconds. I guess it'd hit 1 GB in a matter of hours or days..
Now, I've a similar server on another machine.. but its SQLSERVR.EXE is only using around 20 MB and it doesnt grow much.
So..what should I do?? Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks!!
Why does my Sqlservr.exe file take up 200 megs of my nt memory. When i control alt delete and go into task manager, sqlservr.exe is always at the top of the memory usage list.
Can someone please explain what exit code 259 means as it appears in the debug output below?

I would also appreciate hearing back from users as to why I only have two choices in my VS 2005 IDE Output window (Build and Debug). From what I've read, 'Database' should be another choice for 'Show output from:'.

Why is the PasswordRecovery control creating another sqlservr process after I successfully enter the user name, and for a reason I have not found yet it keeps the database in a read only modem then when I answer my security question correctly it gives me the error: Failed to update database "C:INETPUBWWWROOTVER1.0.0.1APP_DATAASPNETDB.MDF" because the database is read-only. I read other post regarding the read only message and I don't if there doing the same thing, but why does this happen and what is the solution to this other not using the control?
I'm havin a problem with my database server in the network, i'm running a windows 2003 server standard edition with sql server 2005 standard edition.
the problem is that the server get stock and the performance of the whole network is affected, when i use the tak manager to monitor the performance i can see that the sqlservr.exe proccess is using 1,397,928 k of memory usage, in the performance monitor the graphics get crazy and the cpu usage grows up untill 85%.
Can you please let me know if there is something that i can do to normalize the server performance in order to let the network user work with the applications feeded by this server.
I've SQL Server 2005 Dev Edition and Windows Server 2003 ENT SP2. in the task manager i see that the server use 5GB out of 6GB,but when i arrange the process to see whom takes all the memory i see that the sqlservr.exe takes 150MB(he is the biggest). when i open Perfmon and look on the sqlservr.exe memory use, i see that he takes the 4.5G. i've a problem that the server use alot of cpu time to run users queries,i see that pages/sec counter is very big average between 600-800.
is there any problem with my memory? why the memory reading from the task manager is wrong? if my pages/sec counter is so big do i have a memory leaks + pressure?
I have an almost virgin install of SQLExpres running on a WIN2K Pro system.
Have been able to create and connect db to Access 2000 without problem.
Now I wish to extend to remote connections. Using Surface Area Configuration tool, I changed Remote Connections to Local and Remote.
Whenever this setting contains TCP/IP and I try to restart the service I receive the following errors:
System Log:
The SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service terminated with service-specific error 10013.
Application Log:
Server TCP provider failed to listen on [ 'any' <ipv4> 0]. Tcp port is already in use.
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x271d, status code 0xa.
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x271d, status code 0x1.
Could not start the network library because of an internal error in the network library. To determine the cause, review the errors immediately preceding this one in the error log.
SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.
If I change back to Local Connections Only or Local and Remote using named pipes only, the service starts up again without a problem.
After five days of investigating, researching, reinstalling and waiting I have to ask for help.

Hello! I have the following problem. I developed CLR Stored Procedure "StartNotification" and deploy it on db. This sp calls external web service. Furthermore, this sp is called according with SQL Server Agent Job's schedule. On my PC SQL Server works under Local System account and this web service is called correctly (Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM). But on ther other server the following exception is raised during job running: Date 17.04.2007 16:42:10 Log Job History (FailureNotificationJob)
Step ID 1 Server MSK-CDBPO-01 Job Name FailureNotificationJob Step Name MainStep Duration 00:00:00 Sql Severity 16 Sql Message ID 6522 Operator Emailed Operator Net sent Operator Paged Retries Attempted 0
Message Executed as user: CORPmssqlserver. A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user defined routine or aggregate 'StartNotification': System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Net.WebPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. System.Security.SecurityException: at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.Check(Object demand, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean isPermSet) at System.Security.CodeAccessPermission.Demand() at System.Net. The step failed.
What is the reason of this behaviour? Unfortunately I do not have direct access to this server. I have the following guesses: 1) CORPmssqlserver may have not enough permissions to call web service 2) Something wrong with SQL Server account's permissions 2) Something wrong with SQL Server Agent account's permissions I will take the will for the deed. Thanks.
We are using the whole BI-package from Microsoft - from SQL, DTS-package,Raporting Service and Analyze Service.
It should be very helpful to be able to create a metadata databases where you could find all releations between different objects (tables,views,reports,cubes,DTS-package,Databases.
Just to get answer for: 'where is view xxx used', 'what are Report xxx depending upon'.
While everything exists in different SQL databases it should possible to do.
I have a initiator and a target service broker peer.
Both are controlled by a C# unit test. The initiator uses the Microsoft.Samples.SqlServer class. The target service uses stored procedure activation.
Sending a message from the initiator to the target, saves the content of the message, along with its conversation handle in the target's database specific table.
The unit test needs - at a later time - to instruct the target to send a message back on the same conversation handle to the initiator service.
For this the C# unit test creates a Conversation off of the saved conversation handle:
Service client = new Service("cleintservicename", conn, tran);
Conversation dialog = null;
dialog = new Conversation(client, convHandle); Sending the message on this dialog generates an error "Message body: <Error xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQL/ServiceBroker/Error"><Code>-8495</Code><Description>The conversation has already been acknowledged by another instance of this service.</Description></Error>". Is the error due to the fact that a service - using the activated stored procedure already picked up the conversation, so that a new reference to the service can not be created through the Service class in CLR? If so, I might need then to skip the activated stored procedure in favor or a CLR service, alltogether? Any help - greatly appreciated.
We seem to be being plagued by the error below by our SQL Server agent. This happens almost everytime we restart the server that has been running for a day or two.
Our SQL Server Agent uses a none expiring domain credential. I understand that this problem only happens when the profile being used by the SQL Servr Agent has changed (password change). What puzzles me is that the login is A ok and no changes has been made to it's password.
We always resolve this problem by changing the login used in the SQL Server Agent to local and after that, returning it back to it's original domain login. Unfortunately, we cant always do this everytime something goes wrong.
Can anyone please help us shed a light on this? We're using SQL2k with SP3a. Thanks!

I have configured an instance to use static port, say 1435, and I turned off the Browser service.
I would like to know if I can use SSMSE to connect to the instance database directly. The instance is listening at port 1435 and accepting connection requests from other methods.
What I need to put into the "Server name: " field?
Normally, it would be like: <serverIP><InstanceID> with Browser turned on.
Now how do I add the port information to it, I tried
I am looking at implementing some sort of throttling whereby "expensive" reports are setup as Subscriptions (and hence are run by the Windows Service), while all other requests go the Web Service.
My question is:
Do the two systems share any underlying systems? I understand (of course) that they use the same DB, etc. etc. However, I can't quite tell whether there is an underlying engine that is a common base or if they really just spin up different instances of the same objects and essentially each host the application separately?
I am currently hardening our SQL 2012 (with AlwaysOn Availability Groups) environment. Both the SQL service and agent account are using service accounts (only domain user). SQL browser service is disabled. Permissions to all roles are handled by using domain groups.
Currently a lot of (default) NT Service accounts are listed (some with sysadmin privileges). Are there accounts that can be removed?
Hi all, I do understand that it is highly recomended to have aserprate user (perfered a domain user account) for each of the SQL Server service and SQL Agent service. What is the reason behind that?
