MS-SQL Server 2008 Update Statistics

Hi,
We have SAP running on MS-SQL 2008. Can we use the command 'sp_updatestats' to update stats on all tables in the schema or is there any option we can schedule a job from DBACOCKPIT?
Thanks,
Kris

Yes, you can use sp_updatestats as described here [MS173804|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173804.aspx] with MS SQL Server 2008.
I do not believe you can create the job from DBACOCKPIT, however.

Hi,
How big is database ? Does F drive has enough space on it. Issue does not seems with SQL Server backup it is with F drive or network connecting Server to drives.
Can you give more information about F drive is it a SAN, Local disk ?
If SQL server backup would have been issue it would have not processed uptill 70 % ( unles its bug). First error message with OS error 5 means access denied. Ater then you gave necessary rights and now backup issue is not due to SQL Server but while writing
to F drive some unusual thing is happeing which is causing backup to fail.Can you also involve SAN team as well.
** SAME DATABASE BACKUP IS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY ON OTHER DRIVE **
Does this mean backup of same database completes successfully on other drive if so it is a SAN issue or connection issue between SAN and server
Is SQL server 2008 updated to latest service pack ? Why do you use 80 compatibility mode. Although these questions are not realted to backup

Crystal Reports XI connection problems - after updating to SQL Server 2008

Hello!
We have some ASP.NET 2.0 Applications that call some CR XI report files with parameters to generate PDF Files. After upgrading from SQL Server 2005 to 2008 the apps hang when trying to generate the PDFs. Some research with Fiddler showed that ever time a 401 Error is raised. Calling the reports directly from CR Designer with the same connection values and Parameter shows the appropriate data that means the log-in data iare functioning.
I already tried switching the data source driver from OLE DB to SQL Native - no effect!
Can it be that CR XI does not work with SQL Server 2008? Or is there an update for CR XI and SQL Server 2008?
Because we are in a hurry I hope somebody can solve my problem(s) ...?!
Thanks in advance,
Frank

Hi Frank,
No CR XI is not supported nor is any version completely at this time. What we've found issues in so far are the Time(7) time is returned as a string value and Stored Procedure Data/time parameter SQL creation. The Time(7) field is an OLE DB driver issue with Microsoft but the Date/time SP issue is our issue and it's currently tracked and escalated. It will be fixed for CR 2008 with SP3 I believe. And I've asked that the same fix be rolled back to CR XI R2 but waiting on the reply from R&D if it can be done.
What you need to do is download the trial version of CR XI R2 ( Release 2 ) and then use your XI Keycode to install it and it will work. Then update to the latest SP 5 Service Pack. XI is past it's end of life support which means there will be no updates or bug fixes any more.
Next, MS SQL Server 2008 does not work with the MDAC version of the Native drivers, you must install the MS SQL Server Client. You'll see the driver name is "MS SQL Server Native client 10". This is the one you need to use.
Another work around is to use ODBC, it seems to resolve all issues, but the client must be installed.
Thank you
Don

SQL Server 2008 R2 Replication - not applying snapshot and not updating all repliacted columns

We are using transactional replicating on SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) using a remote distributor. We are replicating from BaanLN, which is an ERP application to up to 5 subscribers, all using push publications.
Tables can range from a couple million rows to 12 million rows and 100's of GBs in size.
And it's due to the size of the tables that it was designed with a one publisher to one table architecture.
Until recently it has been working very smooth (last four years)) but we have come across two issues I have never encountered.
While this has happen a half dozen times before, it last occurred a couple weeks ago when I was adding three new publications, again a one table per publication architecture.
We use standard SS repl proc calls to create the publications, which have been successful for years.
On this occasion replication created the three publications, assigned the subscribers and even generated the new snapshot for all three new publications.
However, while it appeared that replication had created all the publications correctly from end to end, it actually only applied one of the three snapshot and created the new table on both of the new subscribers (two on each of the
publications). It only applied the snapshot to one of the two subscribers for the second publications, and did not apply to any on the third.
I let it run for three hours to see if it was a back log issue.
Replication was showing commands coming across when looking at the sync verification at the publisher and
it would even successfully pass a tracer token through each of the three new publications, despite there not being tables on either subscriber on one of the publishers and missing on one of the subscribers on another.
I ended up attempting to reinitialize roughly a dozen times, spanning a day, and one of the two remaining publications was correctly reinitialized and the snapshot applied, but the second of the two (failed) again had the same mysterious result, and
again looked like it was successful based on all the monitoring.
So I kept reinitializing the last and after multiple attempts spanning a day, it too finally was built correctly.
Now the story only get a little stranger. We just found out yesterday that on Friday the 17th
at 7:45, the approximate time started the aforementioned deployment of the three new publications,
we also had three transaction from a stable and vetted publication send over all changes except for a single status column.
This publication has 12 million rows and is very active, with thousands of changes daily.
, The three rows did not replicate a status change from a 5 to a 6.
We verified that the status was in fact 6 on the publisher, and
5 on both subscribers, yet no messages or errors. All the other rows successfully updated.
We fixed it by updating the publication from 6 back to 5 then back to 6 again on those specific rows and it worked.
The CPU is low and overall latency is minimal on the distributor.
From all accounts the replication is stable and smooth, but very busy.
The issues above have only recently started. I am not sure where to look for a problem, and to that end, a solution.

I suspect the problem with the new publication/subscriptions not initializing may have been a result of timeouts but it is hard to say for sure. The fact that it eventually succeeded after multiple attempts leads me to believe this. If this happens
again, enable verbose agent logging for the Distribution Agent to see if you are getting query timeouts. Add the parameters
-OutputVerboseLevel 2 -Output C:\TEMP\DistributionAgent.log to the Distribution Agent Run Agent job step, rerun the agent, and collect the log.
If you are getting query timeouts, try increasing the Distribution Agent -QueryTimeOut parameter. The default is 1800 seconds. Try bumping this up to 3600 seconds.
Regarding the three transactions not replicating, inspect MSrepl_errors in the distribution database for the time these transactions occurred and see if any errors occurred.

Do I need to install Security Hotfix (KB2977319) after Cumulative Update 12 for SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2

HI,
I have installed Cumulative Update 12 for SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 on my SharePoint instances. This was to resolve a known issue faced with the instance. CU12 helped resolve the issue. My company is rather strict regarding security hotfixes. But I am
not sure if this particular hotfix [Security Hotfix (KB2977319)] is required if the instance has CU12 applied.
Tested this on a Lab server, the installation did run fine, the summary log also stated that the KB is applied. But the Build Number did not change. Hence the doubt.

Yes you must install Security update mentioned in KB 2977319 it is important for SQL Server to be patches with this security update. Without this it could allow an attacker to compromise your system and gain control over it.

Update SQL Server 2008 R2 CLUSTER To SP1 With TFS 2010

Hi,
I have Cluster SQL Server 2008 R2 configured to store Team Foundation Server 2010 DBs
I want to Update this Cluster to SP1 to support Sharepoint DBs
So i want to see if this update can impact my TFS DBs
Thnx
vote if you think useful

Hello,
I which way is this "Database Design" related, the Topic of this forum?
You can install the SP 1 without any harm to your TFS 2010 database; we host them on SQL Server 2012 and also this work.
But instead of the old SP1 you should go with the last SP 3 for SQL Server 2008 R2.

SQL Server 2008 Cumulative update

Hi All,
Please let me know if Cumulative Update 9 for SQL Server 2008 SP1 has been certified or not. Also what is an ETA.
Thanks.
Regards,
Raghu.

SP1 was already certified. That's menas any cumulative patch for SP1can be applied without any problem because it can not cause any problem it can just fix some bugs from SQL or SSAS.
SAP BPC doesn't install any component into SQL server (database server , SQL or SSAS) which means applying a CU for SQL server cannot create any issue for BPC.

Apply monthly Windows 2008 r2 updates within SQL Server 2008 cluster

Hello is applying Windows updates within 2 node SQL Server 2008 cluster (active-passive) as simple as download/install the windows update on the passive node, then failover, then apply on other node, and then fail back over ?...or are there other needed/recommended
steps ? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply Shanky_621 much appreciated.
In your link provided http://support.microsoft.com/kb/174799 it looks like the steps order is slightly different from this link of
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731291.aspx which mentions...
"...where the recommended sequence is to move all services and applications off of the node, pause the node, then apply software updates to the node."
...does it matter which is done first ('Pause' or 'move Services/Application') or can I simply go to the Passive node (say 'B' where there are no Services or Applications currently on it), 'Pause' it, apply the Windows updates, then 'Resume' it, &
reboot ?

Security Update for SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 (KB2977320)

So i have been trying to install this update on one of our servers since it is showing up on our MBSA scans but it has been failing on one of our machines with the error code: 0x80070643
I downloaded the update and tired to install it manually. The installer returned: There are no SQL Server instances or shared features that can be updated on this computer. If that was true then why is SCCM still pushing the update to the machine and why
is the MBSA showing that it needs the update? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi David,
Based on my understanding, the error code: 0x80070643 was thrown out when you install KB2977320 with MBSA. And installation also failed when you download and install update manually.
Regarding the error code: 0x80070643, it can be caused if the MSI software update registration has become corrupted, or if the .NET Framework installation on the computer has become corrupted. To fix this issue, we can follow these methods:
Fix MSI software update registration corruption issues
Repair the .Net Framework
Uninstall and reinstall the .Net Framework
For more information, please refer to this link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976982.
Besides, the security update is released for SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2, please check the version of SQL Server you are using. About how to check the SQL Server version, please refer to this article: How to tell what SQL Server version you are running
(http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1140/how-to-tell-what-sql-server-version-you-are-running/). Then please download the Security Update for SQL
Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2 from this link (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43957), and retry install it manually.

WSUS service pack updates for SQL Server 2008 R2

Hello, how do we configure WSUS for SQL Server Service Packs? One problem we have is that we do not see SQL server 2008 R2 SP2 available as a download from our WSUS server and this is when SQL SP1 is installed. Now I can apply these service packs manually
but when we have 100's of virtual machines with different versions and editions of SQL this task can be quite daunting. Suggestions please?
RFDZ12

from memory, SQL service packs and CUs are not released via WSUS.
This article is a good reference for (products other than Windows) for what has been released via WSUS:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/bb456965
The equivalent article for Windows releases, is
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894199
Or, you can check the MU catalog (which doesn't necessarily mean the update is available via WSUS, but if the update you seek in is the MU catalog, you can usually import it into your WSUS)
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/
some updates for products are not able to be released via WSUS, for various reasons, and so in those cases, you need a different deployment solution.

SQL Server 2008 Plan Cache maintenance

Hi,
I have a question, please help/suggest me.
I have a production SQL Server 2008 where there are 4 significant stored procedures running in every 15 seconds(Borwser auto refresh) from different users(100+ users connect to site from diff locations)
Sometimes there is no data coming from these stored procedures and application is timing out
So we are running follwoing queries to resolve the issue in productuion server
DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS, DBCC FREEPROCCACHE
Now we are planing to keep this as part of weekend maintenance activity, so please advise what are the parameters we have to check and what is best practices to clear cache?
Thanks,
Ali

You can execute sp_recompile to recompile an stored procedure, instead of clear the whole plan cache. sp_recompile does not cause an stored procedure to be recompiled each time it executes. It recompiles just one time, when you execute
sp_recompile.
If you want, you can write a SQL Server Agent Job that calls sp_recompile for each of these four stored procedures.
Cleaning the buffer cache will not improve performance in any case, It maintains a cache of data, it has nothing to do with plan cache.
You should investigate why these stored procedure get slow. May be, statistics are stale. You should update statistics and rebuild indexes. It also may invalidate execution plans

MS SQL Server 2008 -- Daily Backup

Hello,
My real need is simply to do a daily backup of a database : I have SQL Server 2008
( not express ) .
My user is sa and has full control on the database.
I have searched the web and found many places where they say to do a Task -> Backup and then click on "script action to job". This option is greyed out ( and it is NOT express) and I am using the sa
user will FULL privileges.
I read here ( http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/4c5b5ff3-f2cd-4439-b878-de0891a5eedf/sql-server-management-studio-express-script-action-to-job-grayed-out?forum=sqldatabaseengine ) that I may need to "Install
Integration Services" .
However, when I go to do this (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143731(v=sql.105).aspx ) , I read:
You can install SQL Server Integration Services on a computer that has no previous instances of SQL Server.
Well, my server is already installed and running in production.
Q: can I "Install Integration Services" even if I have an SQL server installed and running ?
Q: do I absolutely require to have Integration Services to automate the backups?
Q: any simple way to just dump the database every night to a folder ?
Thanks!
Johnny

You can use the Database Maintenance Wizard to setup a daily backup job.
BOL: "Use the Maintenance Plan Wizard

The instance came up successfully and seems to be operating normally. Was there an error or was the KB installed correctly as the result of the windows update process indicated?
Is there a way I can verify this?

I did some research on this particular KB article and it seems to be related to Master Data Services which I am not using. The KB was pushed automatically and I am not sure that it was a required update in our situation. I'd like to understand exactly
what caused the error message before initiating a repair as this is a production and not a test environment. Everything appears to be functioning properly and I have received direction from Microsoft in the past that information in some logs identified
as level 'error' are in fact to be ignored. I checked the windows update and this KB shows 'Successful' rather than failed or cancelled.
I would also like more information on why sql server services should not be stopped prior to allowing the OS patches to be applied.   I have received messages in the past that stopping the services before service packs are applied
prevent the necessity for a reboot of the machine. I've never heard before that it is a best practice not to stop Sql service prior to applying patches. Once the services are stopped, I have our infrastructure admin start a VM snapshot on
the machine then kick off the windows update process. When done, I reboot the machine, test out Sql Server processes and then if all goes well give the ok to release the VM snapshot. I've supported various databases for 12 years, Sql Server for 5
years and this is the first time I've heard stopping the service manually can cause problems. If that is the case, I will certainly change how I do things....
I did run the discovery report and the results follow:
