SQL Server Error Log stops logging activities of the server

Posted: 10 Apr 2013 06:24 PM PDT

Hi Guys.Is it normal that SQL Server Error Log stops logging server activities like backup operations, errors? Though server activities are functioning well like scheduled backups. Is there a way to find out what might cause this to stop logging? We have a monitoring tool that's basically getting most of its data in the error log.Thank you.

SSRS Paramaters

Posted: 10 Apr 2013 06:57 AM PDT

Hi everyone I have a report in SSRS which contains the paramater @Region. The paramater allows for multiple selections and is set automatically to show all of the regions. Within one of the text boxes within the report I have the following expression: ="Report showing sales at: " & Fields!Region.Value My problem is that there are too many regions so too much text in the text box of thr report when it initially renders. I'd like the expression to say "Sales for all Regions" when the report is initially rendered but the actual specific regions if and when they have been selected. Thanks in advance. BO

Multiple tables in a Report

Posted: 10 Apr 2013 11:40 AM PDT

Hey guys,I have a challenge in displaying the database server health statistics with a minimum refresh rate (about 5-30 seconds). There are about 6 datasets for which I will be using 6 different tables(which have linear gauges) for dispaly. 4 of these 6 datasets take quite a bit of time to query(about 2mins). Is there another efficient way of doing this as the report is becoming slower and slower as I keep adding more tables into it.Would dashboarding be faster? I have never done dashboarding before and I am just assuming that a dashboard drives the datasets as different reports hence faster rendering time.I would appreciate you guys taking time to answer my questions.Thank you.

Logging on with a DSN using a different schema.

Posted: 10 Apr 2013 11:28 AM PDT

Here are the facts.Tools:MS SQL 2012 Express MS SQL 2005 Native Driver (because not all of our computers are up to date obviously)MS Access 2010.This is an Access db with a default form that calls an ODBC recordsource.My [u]File[/u] DSN works OK when I connect to tables using the default dbo schema. It bring the MS SQL Server dialog box.If I try to connect to tables in a different schema (with all public privileges denied), it will raise an error message but my problem is that it will NOT prompt the normal log in dialog box. After the error message, there is nothing.If I use my Windows profile as identification with sa privilege, again it will just go through (no error) but no log in dialog box whatsoever.How do make sure that the dialog box is always present?

SQL 2008 - Resource Governor - CLBackup.exe

Posted: 10 Apr 2013 06:54 AM PDT

Hello,We are having issues with a backup system (CLBackup.exe) taking too much CPU when it does a disk backup. It is being used by our hosting company to perform a daily backup of specified files and directories. The time of the backup run and the amount of files backed up have all been modified but still seeing too much CPU pressue when it runs.It averages about 35% CPU but can take as much as +50% CPU which is putting too much pressue on the Database server.Can the Resource Governor be used to throttle the CPU usage of this exe? Thanks,Daniel

Problems with file permissions

Posted: 10 Apr 2013 08:55 AM PDT

This is for sql server express 2008 r2. I am installing an .mdf file on users machines using a simple .msi installer created in vs2010.I really need an overall philosophy check on where to install .mdf files. My shrink-wrap end user app that uses this database will attach the database file, or connect to it as needed - this is not the problem.I chose to install the .mdf file in the folder users\public\documents\somecompany\database, thinking that this is the safest and most permissive location on everyone's machine. Security is not a big issue, I just want the database to work correctly every time. The end users have no technical ability to fix anything whatsoever.I am finding that on some installs, that sql server is throwing the error 5 permission denied when trying to mount the database. Using windows explorer, I see that the troubled system has a completely different set of ACL permissions on the .mdf file from mine. Their system is vista-32bit, and my test setup is a vanilla standard vista-32bit in a virtual machine. I have no idea how their public documents permissions got this way.My first idea for a fix, is to change the file permissions during the msi install to allow "Everyone" full permission on the .mdf file - I know how to do this. I know this would work, but it smells funny. In explorer, I tried setting the permission for the SQLServerMSSQLUser..., but that alone didn't work for some reason. I need to know the exact permission for sql server 2008 that will work every time. Or better than that, need guidelines for foolproof installs of .mdf files.

simple count in sql?

Posted: 10 Apr 2013 07:01 AM PDT

I have a table structure as follows:guidA, market, isInMarket, guidB (lets just say all of these columns are strings)I would like to get a count grouped by market, where guidA == guidB and isInMarket == 1for example:row 1: 23458-293-392-29182, AR, 1, 23458-293-392-29182 <-- want this to add 1 to countrow 2: 19383-958-958-95832, AR, 1, 39201-394-999-84757 <-- this is not a matchoutput example:Market, MatchCountAR, 467This seems so simple, however, I'm having trouble with it.

Replication - Subscription marked inactive and must be reinitialized

Posted: 10 Apr 2013 02:28 AM PDT

I have transactional PUSH replication and recently got the following error:"The subscription(s) have been marked inactive and must be reinitialized. NoSync subscriptions will need to be dropped and recreated."I manaully ran job "Reinitialize subscriptions having data validation failures", but the problem still persists. When I created this replication, I set it without synchronization from snapshot because the database is rather large, it's about 200 GB. I restored backup and set it with initilization from backup. There were couple of arrors for violation of PK, I cleared them, and now there are no PK violations.Now, what options I have in order to fix above error? My version is: 2008 R2 Enterprice on both servers.Replication: transactional, push.Size of publication database: close to 200 GB.Thanks.

Remote / Local node page looups/sec both zero

Posted: 12 May 2012 09:13 PM PDT

When I try to monitor the sys.dm_os_performance counters "SQLServer:Buffer Node\Local node page lookups/sec" and "SQLServer:Buffer Node\Remote node page lookups/sec" they consistently show up as zero on all our servers. (2008 R2 SP1):object_name counter_name instance_name cntr_value cntr_typeSQLServer:Buffer Node Local node page lookups/sec 3 0 272696576SQLServer:Buffer Node Remote node page lookups/sec 3 0 272696576SQLServer:Buffer Node Local node page lookups/sec 2 0 272696576SQLServer:Buffer Node Remote node page lookups/sec 2 0 272696576SQLServer:Buffer Node Local node page lookups/sec 0 0 272696576SQLServer:Buffer Node Remote node page lookups/sec 0 0 272696576SQLServer:Buffer Node Local node page lookups/sec 1 0 272696576SQLServer:Buffer Node Remote node page lookups/sec 1 0 272696576Now, clearly, they shouldn't BOTH be zero! Is anyone else having the same issue? I can't find any documentation / blogs / cries for help out there from any other sufferers.

Add user to sql server with the required permission

Posted: 09 Apr 2013 10:24 PM PDT

In my sql server express 2008 r2 i have about 15 login account. Now i want some about 5 users have full permission while some other 5 users with limited access to some database, and other users only read permission. In future i may add other users also. So i was thinking of doing it in simple way than giving permission for every user as it requires giving permission to each database every time a new user is created. So can i create a set of rules or group and then add a new user to that group or rules? (So new user who gets added that group gets the permission automatically from that group). Do i have any kind of facility in sql server which will make this happen?

TempDB activity after inserts

Posted: 09 Apr 2013 11:12 PM PDT

I am running into issue doing a insert into fact table. Essentially i can see that insert is done and i can query table by using nolock. But job keeps on running (insert done with in 40 min and job ran for 3 hours) and i can see tempdb read and write activities in resource monitor. There is no disk disk activity on datafiles or logfiles of database i am trying to insert. Is sql server trying to process foreign keys to table? since its fact table i have lot of dimension keys but i am not sure. Also there is no other process running on server at that time. Any help is appreciated
