I have a SQL Server agent job that runs daily, and the first step is to check that a required process finished on another server.  This check is done through a function, which I'm calling through openquery and a linked server.  The job also uses a bit of dynamic sql to add needed parameters:

set @command = 'SELECT @result = [ReturnValue]  from openquery([amlidw],''select [amlidw].[dbo].[process_control_checkrun](''''' + @parent_process_key + ''''',''''' + @child_process_key + ''''',' + ISNULL('''''' + @parent_process_key2+ '''''','default') + ',default) AS [ReturnValue]'') '


exec sp_executesql @command,N'@result int output',@result=@result output

This function will run correctly, and return the correct results for several days.  Then it will start returning 0 when the correct value is 1.  I have even gone so far as to use SQL Server Profiler to check the query being sent, then run it myself on the target server.  In this case it correctly returns 1 on the target server, but the openquery version returns 0.

The only way I can get the correct results again is to make a trivial change to the query.  For instance, I can change the name of the return value to ReturnValueTest, and the function will return correct results for several days.  This would suggest that the return value is somehow being cached until the text changes.

What is going on here?  Is there a way to ensure that the results will be returned correctly across servers?  I could experiment with different way to call the function, but not knowing the cause, I don't exactly know what to do differently.

Both severs in this scenario are SQL Server 2017, and the linked server provider is SQLOLEDB.  Thanks for any insight this group may have.  This one really has me stumped.

Hi I have been notice that SQL Server 99% touching . Checked  dead lock.  some of SQLs consumed CPUS but  ave cpu ms is very law . (reports->Standred reports->top sql total cpu time). Check with activity monitor , jobs are suspending - runnable. nothing much. I need to understand why this behaviour .

Version SQL Server 2014 SE

below statement going to update bulk, (taking 3hrs ),

this update  creates bloking for other process , how toaccomplish with out blocking other process?

I can't seem to find what I am looking for in regard to documentation on this, but can anyone answer if CU13 for SQL 2017 needs to be applied before the Hotfix for CU13 in order to get all of the updates applied?  I tested applying the Hotfix to an instance that was on CU12 and it does allow you to apply it, but everyone is wondering if it only applied just the 3 fixes from the Hotfix or brought it up to date with the CU13 fixes as well and I just cannot recall what the answer is to that question.

Thanks.

Hi all,

I'm trying to connect my local SQL Server database instance to the blob storage emulator as an external connection, however I'm getting a "Bad or inaccessible location specified" error. Here are the steps I'm taking:

CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '<password>';
GO

-- Create the credentials using the generic storage account key
CREATE DATABASE SCOPED CREDENTIAL localBlobStorageCredential
WITH IDENTITY = 'devstoreaccount1',
SECRET = 'Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==';
GO

-- Create the data source pointing to the blob storage location I created (blob-storage-location)
CREATE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE localBlobStorage
WITH (
    TYPE = BLOB_STORAGE,
    LOCATION = 'http://127.0.0.1:10000/devstoreaccount1/blob-storage-location',
    CREDENTIAL= localBlobStorageCredential
);
GO

-- Attempt to select a file that has been uploaded (cp.json)
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(
	BULK 'cp.json',
	SINGLE_BLOB,
	DATA_SOURCE = 'localBlobStorage'
) AS j;

I then get the following error:

Bad or inaccessible location specified in external data source "localBlobStorage".

Any ideas?

James

I am using the BCP utility to bulk load data into a temp database. I have tried with simple and bulk logged recovery. 

On disk the .dat files I am loading are about 2.5GB however when I load them using BCP the .mdf file grows to 10GB and the log file grows to 14GB. 

Here is the BCP command I am using there are multiple files but I am using the same switches for all of them:

&bcp '[TempDatabase].[dbo].[View_Strings]' IN 'C:\dat\Strings.dat' -f "C:\fmt\Strings.fmt" -h TABLOCK -T -S.\SQLEXPRESS 

It takes about 13 minutes to load the data there are 659603 records inserted. But then I run into an error like this: 

Starting copy...
SQLState = 37000, NativeError = 1105
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Could not allocate space for object 'ChangeLogTemp'.'PK__iOPS_Cha__3214EC2763B71DFD' in database 'TempDatabase' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup.

I can shrink the database and the size goes down to just over 1GB for the mdf file and 84MB for the log file. 

Is this normal expected growth? Is there a way to prevent the file growth? Why is the database growing more that the amount of data to be loaded. the data in the .dat files is in native format. 

Here is the definition of the table I am inserting into I removed some of the columns for simplicity: 

there is one trigger which is need to fire only when a particular SP run...

i don't want this trigger to run always ...

trigger A :   fires when tableA of column A update  

this column A  update by a procedure A

Requirement:

This trigger only fires, when through the Procedure A,

The trigger does not fire, if i manually or any other Proc  update column A  

Hi Experts,

we have migrated few databases from SQL server 2008 to SQL server2014  Standard Edition butCompatibility level was not changed and some more information those databases are configured with mirroring, is there any impact on application if I change compatibility level from 100 to 120? I have read that by changing the compatibility level does not have any performance issues apart from improvement in the performance we can  have new feature which are in SQL server 2014 and please correct me if I am wrong finally I have question any impact on mirroring or application Functionality

Hi guys, 

Is there a way to know who dropped a user from a server?

Many Thanks

I had to migrate from one machine to another.  I detached all my databases.  One of them utilized FileStream.  On the new machine, new SQL Server, it is my belief that FileStream IS enabled....Properties->Advanced->FILESTREAM Access Level->Full Access Enabled.  

However, when I try to attach my database, I get the error, "Filestream feature is disabled", and it further then says that the physical file may be incorrect.  I don't believe either to be the case.

Any suggestions?

Hi ,

I have two servers Windows 2008 with SQL Server 2008 and Windows 2016 with SQL Server 2016.

Now From Windows 2016 with SQL Server 2016 when I run sqlcmd to connect  Windows 2008 with SQL Server 2008 , I get following error:

***********************************************

"Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server : SSL Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
.
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server : Client unable to establish connection. "

***********************************************

Also when I use SQL management studio from Windows 2016 with SQL Server 2016 machine to connect Windows 2008 with SQL Server 2008 , I got following error:

so neither SQLCMD nor SSMS are able to establish connection with SQL Server  2008.

Please suggest if any solutions.

I am doing the following test

TESTA

declare @valuea numeric(25,8)
declare @valueb numeric(25,2)

set @valuea=100000.455
set @valueb=234523.00

select @valueb - @valuea

In database setting compatibility 100  and 130 , the result is the same 134522.54500000

TESTB

declare @valuea numeric(38,8)
declare @valueb numeric(38,2)

set @valuea=100000.455
set @valueb=234523.00

select @valueb - @valuea

In database setting compatibility 130 , the result is 134522.55

In database setting compatibility 100 , the result is  134522.54  

Interesting ??

According to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4010261/sql-server-and-azure-sql-database-improvements-in-handling-some-data-t

Seems this only affect numeric (38,x) ??

Hi,

I am trying to take back up database in one server and restoring in other domain.

I'm getting an error while installing SQL Server Standard edition 2012 sp1 in Windows Server 2012 R2.

Component name: SQL Server Database Engine Services Instance Features
Component error code: 0x851A001A
Error description:Wait on the Database Engine recovery handle failed. Check the SQL Server error log for potential causes.

I found a solution from technet for the same and it was not worked for me. 

According to that I have changed Database Engine & Agent Service Account to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

But I'm getting the same error Database Engine recovery handle failed.

I found the below exceptions in detail log file.

=============================

The server was unable to initialize encryption because of a problem with a security library. The security library may be missing. Verify that security.dll exists on the system.
Error: 17182, Severity: 16, State: 1.

TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x139f, status code 0x80. Reason: Unable to initialize SSL support. The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation. 
Error: 17182, Severity: 16, State: 1.

TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x139f, status code 0x1. Reason: Initialization failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors. The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation. 
Error: 17826, Severity: 18, State: 3.

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.
Error: 17120, Severity: 16, State: 1.

SQL Server could not spawn FRunCommunicationsManager thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.

So any one have faced the same issue or since I'm new to this your help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
