Hi Team,

I have a table which has to keep data of 3 months.  Month by month partitoning is needed here.

A scheduled job has to run everymonth(likely first sunday of each month) to add a new partition and delete data which is more than 3months/90 days.

Can you please provide me any script or any related post which can give me some idea?

Thanks,

Areef

We are using 3 SQL instances (2005 SP4) in cluster network (active passive) and all 3 instance would be running on same node. We have 18GB total memory and max memory for instance1 = 8, other 2 = 4 GB each. So we still have 2 GB for OS.

We got sudden stopping on instance 1 and created a mini dump. I am pasting the SQL logs below. Please anyone help me on this.

here are some errors I see in logs:

Hello Experts

what is the best way to set up a disk space usage alert for my sql server 2008r2 databases. i want to get a notification or alert whenever the disk usage is >80%, thank you as usual.

Beli

Hi,
We have linked server in sql server from AS400. From last couple of days it shows connection between sql server and As400 through this linked server is slow. Sometimes application timeout. How to resolve this issue? How to find out if issue is at sql server side or as400? or how to improve query response time through this linked server.
thanks

Full backup is not happening due to consistent checkpoint.

We have sql server 2008 r2 wherein a database is of 1.2 TB size. This database files have been properly splited across multiple drives. Log backup is happening fine, but whenever we start full backup, it is blocked by checkpoint process. Some time luckily if it gets completed then fine or issues continues. recently applied Sql Server 2008 r2 sp1 cu3 to fix this issues, but still full backup is not happening. Anything we are missing on here.

Thanks

We  have performance dashboard reports (SQL 2008 R2 ) to get current state of the system i.e.  including cpu, resource waits etc. but is it possible to alter it to get it working for past periods. i.e. if we have kept archived copies of DMVs, would it require changing any of the SPs?

I saw in a few forum questions that a few custom reports can be built using RDL. Appreciate if you can redirect me to a few resources needed for the above requirement as I haven't got much experiencing working with RDL.

Thanks.

Hi All,

I always ask this question to myself very often and sometimes get confused.

Why is log shipping called a Disaster recovery solution and not a High availability solution even though it provides High availability of the database as a warm standby. Other technologies like Database mirroring and Clusterring are called High availability technologies.

Why is log shipping called a Disaster recovery solution?

Pl correct me if my statement is wrong because I heard about these terms on log shipping by lot of people.

Thanks in advance.

Hello All!

       I am having an issue of reading an encrypted table after restoring the table to a different server and instance.

Here is my process thus far:

Performed Full backup of database

Restored database backup on new instance (The new instance is using the same Service account as the old instance)

After restoring the database, I checked to make sure the database master key shows encrypted by server, but it does not

Running the following query on each database:

On the old instance, the database is_master_key_encrypted_by_server = 1
On the new instance, the database is_master_key_encrypted_by_server = 0

Does anyone know why this is?

If I run the select * fromsys.symmetric_keyson each database, the database master key and the symmetric key shows up for each database instance.

Is there a reason why this is different?

I know the SMK encrypts the DMK which then is used to encrypt the certificate that encrypts symmetric key. 
Therefore, should I export the SMK from the from the old instance and import it into the new instance?  Then open the master key and regenerate the SMK on the server so that I can open the encrypted table on the new instance?

Thanks!

SQL Server 2008 SP3 Enterprise 64 bit on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise

In the steps above, Index Rebuild completed but Update Statistics failed on 

Msg 9100, Level 23, State 2, Line 1
Possible index corruption detected. Run DBCC CHECKDB.

I understand that running a Statistics Update after an index rebuild is a waste, http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/paul/search-engine-qa-10-rebuilding-indexes-and-updating-statistics/

However, I am trying to find out how there could be a index corruption right after a index rebuild. I ran a dbcc checkdb on the database where the corruption was encountered but the dbcc checkdb completed without any errors. 

I then ran a update statistics on the same database following a successful dbcc checkdb but it failed with the same index corruption. 

Please guide.

SQL server A----Database AA

SQL Server B---Database BB

Do database migration:

I backup database AA on sql server A--create aa.back file

then I copy aa.bak file to Server B and restore aa.bak as BB(Overwrite database BB there).

I want to make sure that new database BB(restore from aa.bak) will have all the same as old database BB there--security, store procedure.........

How to do it?want to know the best way.Now, I have to compare each piece. That's too much work.

Hi all,

I need to export a large dataset (greater than 6 GB) to text file.

Since the dataset contains special characters, I cannot use Import and Export Wizard to export it into text file. (Error Message).

So I used Tools --> Options --> Result to Text. However, I cannot actually customize the delimiter.

First of all, I can only enter one character as the delimiter, and thus no character combination allowed.

Secondly, I entered # and ^ as the customized delimiter. Neither of them worked. The delimiter is always | (pipe), which does not work well for my dataset.

Does anybody have the same experience? Please help.

Thanks.

Hi All:

Working Set is the term that defines the amount of memory currently in use for a process

In one of the server, just i noticed the Working Set of SQL Server is --> 6,514,200,576

Please let me know how can we understand this value and let me know how can we convert it to understandable value.

Thanks,

Satish Kumar.

Thanks, Satish Kumar. Please mark as this post as answered if my anser helps you to resolves your issue :)
