Hello experts,

I have analysed and believe that server seems to be under memory pressure, but would need you're suggestions to confirm the same and some tips that i might be missing:

SQL Server Details: SQL Server 2005 (SP3) 32 bit ( We tried to patch to SP4, but the team ran into some issues, working on it)

Min server memory:0 and Max server memory settings : 10240 MB

Yes, we have AWE enabled, and Lock pages in memory assigned to service account running SQL server.

This is the reporting server used for reporting purposes with transnational replication turned on.

Max database size : 350 GB , total being 450 GB on single instance hosted.

WINDOWS SERVER DETAILS: Windows 2003, Enterprise, Sp2, 32 bit.

Total Physical Memory:     12,286 MB
Available Physical Memory: 423 MB
Page File: Max Size:       37,063 MB
Page File: Available:      25,610 MB
Page File: In Use:         11,453 MB

System Manufacturer:       HP
System Model:              ProLiant DL580 G4
System Type:               X86-based PC
Processor(s):              12 Processor(s) Installed.

As per the monitoring for a week using IDM, we see SQL and OS usage of memory above 98 % throughout the week.

I will try to share the result of DBCC memory status as unable to attach the link:

Please suggest, if there is a way i can fix the memory usage or will have to go with option of requesting more RAM?

Thanks!

Hi DBAs,

I am trying to take backup on network folder but I am getting below error:

Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 9
Cannot open backup device '\\xyz.xy.z.xy\abcde\xy\xyzarchive_2015_7_14_11_14_58.Diff'. Operating system error 1326(Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.).
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 9
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

NOTE:- The folder abcde is protected by password , When I try to open the \\xyz.xy.z.xy, I provide password to connect.

I am using the below script :

DECLARE @filename VARCHAR(255)
SELECT @filename ='\\xyz.xy.z.xy\abcde\xy\xyzarchive_' + 
  LTRIM(STR(DATEPART(year, GETDATE()))) + '_' +
  LTRIM(STR(DATEPART(month, GETDATE()))) + '_' +
  LTRIM(STR(DATEPART(day, GETDATE()))) + '_' +
  LTRIM(STR(DATEPART(hour, GETDATE()))) + '_' +
  LTRIM(STR(DATEPART(minute, GETDATE()))) + '_' +
  LTRIM(STR(DATEPART(second, GETDATE()))) + '.Diff'
backup database xyzarchive 
to disk=@filename
with differential,stats=1

Could anyone suggest me how to troubleshoot / resolve this error permanently??

Thanks in Advance!

hi all,

I have a query to pass .csv file data into sql table using bulkinsert .

i used :

CREATE TABLE #CSVTest
(CouponCode VARCHAR(200))
/* Insertion From csv Source To Table */
BULK
INSERT #CSVTest
FROM 'C:\Apple.csv'
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
)
select * from #CSVTest

This worked very fine to me.

Now, the thing is i should pass the filename as parameter and so that what ever file i specified in execute command , query should take that file and push that file data from .csv file to sql table

please give me any solution.thanx in advance

SQL Server had one stack dump at just before 11am yesterday and then multiple repated stack dumps every minute this morning from 01:30am just after the nightly back up and DBCC which had come back clean.

The version information is as below from the top of the ERRORLOG, it is running on VMWARE and had been fine for months:

2015-07-01 00:49:56.69 Server      Microsoft SQL Server 2014 - 12.0.2000.8 (X64)
 Feb 20 2014 20:04:26
 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation
 Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.2 <X64> (Build 9200: ) (Hypervisor)

Restarting SQL Server seems to have cleared the issue and all databases return clean from DBCC.I know the first recommendation will be to go to SP1 but just in case there is any similar instance that has occurred elsewhere it would be good to know if that will fix it or if there is some other known issue.

hi, 

In SQL2008R2 you can see all the server securables by right clicking on a server and selecting properties, then Permissions.  

Is there a way to get this list in T-SQL via a dmv or sp? 

Regards

Hello,

I have a strange situation when I try to execute the same Stored Procedure on servers with different processors. Both servers are running the SQL SERVER 2008 R2 version with all updates.

All updates bios, disk controller, firmware, were applied on the new server.

New Server: (considerable difference in processing time)
 Stored Procedure without encryption, runs at about 02:16hs
 Stored Procedure with encryption, runs at about 08:00hs
 
Server Processor:
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU @ 2.60GHz E5-2697 v3
 
Old Server: (There Are No difference in processing time)
 Stored Procedure without encryption, runs at about 01:00hs
 Stored Procedure with encryption, runs at about 01:00hs
 
Server Processor:
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU @ 2.7GHz E5-2697 V2

In terms of configuration, the server 2, have lower technology, lower bus, lower number of processors.

I believe that combination of Hardware/SO/Sql Server has a potential performance loss when running encrypted SP.

Anyone had this problem or may be indicating some related article?

Hi

How can I get the information that who has changed my SQL database recovery model ?

I seem to be able to see where a procedure is being recompiled, but not the actual statement that was executing the procedure.

Note, with 2008 there is a DMV called dm_exec_procedure_stats , which is not present in 2005

USE YourDb;

SELECT qt.[text]          AS [SP Name],
       qs.last_execution_time,
       qs.execution_count AS [Execution Count]
FROM   sys.dm_exec_query_stats AS qs
       CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(qs.sql_handle) AS qt
WHERE  qt.dbid = DB_ID()
       AND objectid = OBJECT_ID('YourProc') 

The above shows results that include the CREATE PROCEDURE statements for the procedure in question, but this only indicates that the procedure was being recompiled, not necessarily that it was being executed?

I have SQL 2012 database on availability group environment

Due to lack of space on SQL log partition. I have added to new hard drive configures on RAID1

Moved the ldf files from active partition to newly created partition.

SMS change the path for log drive to new drive

Restart SQL server services

I cannot connect to databases anymore and I have also lost all setting of Availability group

Hi,

  I have stored procedure and used few temp tables inside this sp. It returns data very fast but binding with excel sheet taking more time and some times page can't displayed messages pup-op if multiple session started/ multiple times clicked generate button.

Database server is SQL server 2012.Resource is looking sound.

This query is used for generating reports.

can you please advise what is the issues?

Regards,

I just started getting this error on my server. Msg 1204, Level 19, State 4, The instance of the SQL Server Database Engine cannot obtain a LOCK resource at this time

The server is running Windows 2012, 12GB, SQL 2014. 8GB is dedicated to SQL.

Any Suggestions?

Hi, quick question guys…

I was given a server, with 5 databases, 250GB each database… All sort of different information in-there…

Here is my question; it’s a sql 2014; I was asked to calculate/forecast how much space would we save with compression… they wanted to do page compression; as the server is used by  just 3,4 for users; and their main concern is to save space, not performance.

How can I accomplish this? I don’t want to go index by index calculating this… any thoughts?
