Hi AllI have read through the post on the below link :http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlserverfaq/archive/2010/03/31/step-by-step-guide-to-setup-a-dedicated-sql-database-mirroring-dbm-on-dedicated-nic-card.aspx I am now wondering if I would do the same for log shipping to a DR server?active server with 2 NICsnic1 day to day functions 172.20.20.18nic2 dedicated to log shipping 172.21.20.19DR server same setupnic1 day to day functions 172.20.20.21nic2 dedicated to log shipping 172.21.20.30would this be done with T-SQL or just the same as in the above link?

Recursion Help - CTE

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 06:17 PM PDT

Hi, I need help on how to calculate a moving index, based on values in another column. Here's my data:[code="sql"]CREATE TABLE #temp_RecursionHelp2( MonthNumber int NULL, FInalMOM float NULL, IndexedPerc float NULL)GOinsert into #temp_RecursionHelp2 values (1, 1.30613547,100), (2, 1.30613547,NULL), (3, 1.30613547,NULL), (4, -0.2058964,NULL), (5, -0.2058964,NULL), (6, -0.2058964,NULL), (7, -0.70990703,NULL), (8, -1.21391765,NULL), (9, 0.80212484,NULL), (10, -0.2058964,NULL), (11, -1.2139176,NULL), (12, -0.70990703,NULL);[/code]What I want to do is recursively update IndexedPerc using the IndexedPerc value from the previous month. So, for example, IndexedPerc for MonthNumber 2 should be:MonthNumber 1's IndexedPerc + (MonthNumber 2's FinalMON value + 100)/100or:100 + (1.30613547 + 100)/100And then, Month 3's Indexed Perc value is calculated from this:MonthNumber 2's IndexedPerc + (MonthNumber 3's FinalMON value + 100)/100etc.I can do it with a loop but have a feeling a recursive CTE may help, but can't get the syntax right. Any help greatly appreciated.Thanks - Jaosn

inserted / deleted tables

From what i understand, inserted/deleted tables never inherit "real table's" PRIMARY KEY, does anyone knows how come?It makes standard inserted/deleted-queries quite slow...

Is TRY-CATCH in SQL still a best practice?

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 06:11 AM PDT

I overheard our DBA today (2013-10-17) telling a junior developer to NEVER use a TRY-CATCH block in stored procedures. He told her that it is a very inefficient way of creating a transaction and should not be used. He said it was only still available for "backward compatibility." Instead, he suggested she put a BEGIN TRANSACTION and COMMIT or ROLLBACK TRANSACTION around anything that would do an insert or update.To my knowledge, TRY-CATCH was introduced in SQL 2005. I've been using it regularly as a best practice since about 2007, and this is the first time I've ever heard anyone say it should not be used.Any opinions here? Is a TRY-CATCH block still a valid practice today?(Part of the reason I'm obsessing over this is because he is pretty full of himself and also made the statement, "Trust me, I've been doing this for 10 years," to support his argument. That kind of statement drives me nuts.)Thanks!edit: took out the stupid and invalid "END TRANSACTION" statement. (LJ)

Add column which is part of a clustered index to non clustered index

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 01:58 AM PDT

Would it make sense to include a column that is part of a clustered index in the definition of a non clustered index, given that the clustered index is added by default to a non clustered index ?For exampleI have a Table Orders which has the following clustered indexCREATE CLUSTERED INDEX CIX_Orders_OrderNo ON dbo.Orders(OrderNo)Would it make sense do something like thisCREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_OrderDateOrderNo ON dbo.Orders(OrderDate,OrderNo)

Connection to SQL Server &gt; 5 sec after packet arrives at NIC

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 09:59 AM PDT

Hi There,I'm at a loss and I'm hoping someone in the community can help me out. We have a PHP application using FreeTDS connecting to a SQL Server box. There is a MSSQL Connect Timeout of 5 seconds.Intermittently we get an error where PHP complains it can't connect to SQL Server.We checked for blocking, above average user connections, batch requests per second and nothing jumps out... so I setup a network trace using Wireshark.I found that the web server and SQL box handshake, then the web server sends a TDS packet, the box acknowledges the packet at the TCP level but then doesn't return the TDS packet (which I'm assuming is the initiation to make the SQL Server level connection) back within 5 seconds.Given that that the box gives a ACK at the NIC level, going upward the next place to check is the OS? Is it possible the OS is not passing the packet to the SQL Server instance quick enough? Is there OS level metrics I could look at?Maybe the OS is though, so if there is a way from SQL Server to tell that a TDS packet has arrived that would be great too. Can SQL Profiler do this?Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.OS Windows Server 2008 SP 1SQL Server 2008 R2 StandardThanks!AmarettoSlim

tsql for XML format the values as elements

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 07:28 AM PDT

I am trying to get the values in a column as XML elements. Is it possible to do this using For XML in sql server?declare @XMLTest table( [Name] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL )INSERT @XMLTest ([Name]) VALUES (N'One¬d¦Uº')INSERT @XMLTest ([Name]) VALUES (N'Two')INSERT @XMLTest([Name]) VALUES (N'Three')I would like to get the following on separate rows from the select query.This would help me escape the Invalid characters in the values, so they can then be serialized to XML properly.<One_x00AC_d_x00A6_U_x00BA_><Two/><Three/>Is it possible to get this return from the FOR XML query, so that the invalid characters are properly encoded when the sql server generates the XML?

Adding notes or text to a SQL Login

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 07:58 AM PDT

Hi There,Hopefully this isn't a stupid question but here goes.Is there a simple way to add notes to a SQL login? From what I can see in the properties in SSMS ther isn't.I sometimes come across legacy logins and can't remember who created them,what app they were created for, if it is still required etc etc. It would be nice to be able to add a little text blurb tologins for just such a purpose.Is there some simple way to do this I don't know about.Thanks,Tim.

upgrade from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2008 R2 ?

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 05:48 AM PDT

Not sure about licensing, we have installed a SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition (64-bit) server with SP1. At this time we are not ready to go to SQL Server 2012 but this is supposed to be a development environment for a production server that is SQL Server 2008 R2 with SP2 Enterprise Edition.Is it within licensing to "upgrade" [or would it just be applying an update?] to R2 SP2 ?If someone can clear up my confusion it will be appreciated.

users - schemas - permissions

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 02:04 AM PDT

I would like to have a credential limited to read only access to the tables in a database.I have a created such a user with a default schema of 'mydbschema' and a Database role membership of 'db_dataeader'When connecting to the database with SSMS as that user I only see one table. This table has a schema of 'dbo.' The other tables (that the user needs to see) has a schema of 'mydbschema.'What do I need to do so that the user has read only access to the tables with a schema of 'mydbschema?'

After Restore 'dbo' of database does not recognize correct permissions for Login

Posted: 15 Oct 2013 03:39 AM PDT

Background:We are Implementing SP3 for SQL Server 2008 and are required to provide a backout plan. To backout SP3 we uninstall SQL Server and re-install SQL Server 2008 base and SP1. After the database is restored vendor application Stored Procedures no longer run correctly when executed as the 'dbo'. Specifically the sp runs DBCC loginfo and errors with "User 'dbo' does not have permission to run DBCC LOGINFO. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 50000)." The 'dbo' for the database is the 'sa' account on the instance. If I login as 'sa' and run the command it has no issues. If the sp is executed in the very same query window if fails as above. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SQL Server 2008 R2 slow query performance to Oracle 11g using Openquery

Posted: 01 May 2013 04:17 AM PDT

Gang,I'm completely perplexed on this one. I am running a query against an Oracle 11g database. It looks something like this:select * from openquery(oradb, "select col1, col2, col3....col15 from ora.Table where rownum <= 100000")The query is going against a linked server using the Oracle 11.2 client download. The purpose of the query is to pull in the first 100,000 records from a particular table. The data is about 15MB worth of data. When I run the query on two of my SQL Servers - let's call them A1 and A2 and both running 2008 R2, the query takes about 20 seconds. Here is where it gets wierd.When I run it on my new server - call it B1 also running 2008 R2, it takes EXACTLY 3 minutes and 36 seconds, everytime. The query executes immediately but the data transfer is incredibly slow.We monitored the server and the network performance is only about 40,000 B/sec. If we run the query in SQL Plus (Oracle client), it runs in 20 seconds - just like to other SQL Servers. THe network performance is well over 500,000 B/sec. That level of performance is the same on servers A1 and A2.I'm leaning that SQL Server is throttling this query for some reason. My networking and Oracle teams looked at it and said Oracle & Network are not the issue - I agree since the SQL Plus query runs in 20 seconds.[b]Has anyone else seen this on SQL Server? Are there some networking settings in SQL Server that would cause it to not spike out the network?[/b]I'm completely lost on this one.Dennis

Need to know the previous Report Type? Any Query or T-SQL?

Posted: 14 Oct 2013 10:25 PM PDT

Hi Friends,I am looking for a query or procedure which should give the previous report type of every type 'R' . 'R' is called Re-Do so i want to know the previous type which is realted to 'R'.I tried a query with the join condition like Table A join Table B on A.ID = B.ID-1 and A.PID = B.PIDbut the problem is, the type 'R' may be coming continuously , the query i tried is failed.For eg. In the below table , as you see the ID from 9 to 14 has type 'R', the result should be 'F' but with my query i get the same type 'R'. So friends, please gimme your suggestions on this. If you are not clear with my question, please let me know.[code="sql"]Declare @Temp Table (PID int, ID int, ReportType char(1))Insert Into @Temp select 4, 1, 'P'union allselect 4, 2, 'P'union allselect 4, 3, 'P'union allselect 4, 4, 'P'union allselect 4, 5, 'R'union allselect 4, 6, 'F'union allselect 4, 7, 'F'union allselect 4, 8, 'R'union allselect 4, 9, 'R'union allselect 4, 10, 'R'union allselect 4, 11,'R'union allselect 4, 12, 'R'union allselect 4, 13,'R'union allselect 4, 14, 'R'union allselect 4, 15, 'F'union allselect 4, 16, 'R'union allselect 4, 17, 'R'union allselect 4, 18, 'P'select * from @Temp[/code]

Quick Question - PRIMARY filegroup is full

Hello,I know the reason and how to go about fixing this issue.My question is:what is the behaviour of all the update/insert/delete(?) requests that cannot be processed.....will they be stored in the transaction log or will the database in effect be in read-only mode once space limit is reached??thanks in advancesamuel

Data Loss during Replication in SQL Server 2008 R2

Posted: 14 Oct 2013 01:34 PM PDT

Hi,We are replicating data from dbx of source server A (SQL Server 2008R2) to another destination server B (SQL Server 2008R2) on dby database.Replication monitor doesn't show any error but over the period of time we find that dby is out of sync to dbx. We replicate all tables from dbx to dby.Time to time we do reboot destination server B but not the source server A. I have following questions.1. Can someone tell me that if destination server is rebooted then do we lose any data generated during reboot time from source to destination?2. Is reboot is an issue for source or destination server when replication process is ON?ThanksChandra

SSIS no longer writes data to file

Posted: 12 Jun 2012 06:23 AM PDT

I have a question about SSIS. I have an export package that we run monthly. I is simple, just an OLE DB Source feeding a Flat File Destination. We have a SQL query in the OLE DB Source. This has been running fine for several months.A change was requested to the SQL query to add another condition in the WHERE statement. In SSMS it runs fine, returns about 414K rows. In the editor box, the preview returns the 200 rows like it should.Running the package in debug returns all green boxes, no errors or warnings. But it shows there were zero rows written to the file. And the file is zero length.The Preview button in the Flat File Destination editor box returns zero rows as well. It just looks like no data is being passed from the query in the OLD DB Source to the Flat File Destination.I've tried to create a new data flow with a different file name and that returns zero rows as well. Again with no errors or warnings.What I did was open the existing OLE DB Source editor, selected the SQL query, deleted it and pasted in the new SQL query. After doing that, the package runs fine but no data is written to the flat file. The other 11 files (from the other data flow tasks) are populated and look OK. The query is the correct one, the SQL query columns are all matching output columns in the flat file, same operator is used so there shouldn't be a permissions problem.I am out of ideas what has happened and don't know what else to look for.This is a SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise (production) server running:Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (X64) Jun 17 2011 00:54:03 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Data Center Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7600: ) Anyone care to give me a hand on what I can try next to fix this? It seemed like a simple process, it worked for another data flow change without complaints but this one doesn't report an error but doesn't give me any data.My knowledge of how this works is pretty limited, we only have two monthly SSIS packages that are run once a month, neither are complex, just extract some data and write it to flat files for FTP to the requesting agencies.Thanks!Norman

Hi,Running the missing indexes DMVs (with Glenn Berry's query) I get two missing indexes that are very alike...One has:Equality columns: [Documento], [NumDoc], [Modulo], [Serie]The other:Inequality columns: [Modulo]Include columns: [Documento], [NumDoc], [Serie]Building an index with ([Modulo], [Documento], [NumDoc], [Serie]) will satisfy both requests?I know that the 1st index will be used if only [Documento] is filtered and won't be with my index... But DMVs record the "exact" needs for the indexes, right? If a query just needed [Documento] there would be just an entry for that...Thanks,Pedro
