Need Help on SQL Server 2008r2 Transnational replication error (21854)‏

Could not add new article to publication 'productiondb' because of active schema change activities or a snapshot is being generated.
Changed database context to 'productiondb'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 21854)

When this error occurs it usually means there's some underlying schema changes taking place when you're trying to add a new article

I need help installing SQL Server 2012 Express

I am very much an amateur. I got a new machine. The old one had Server 2008 R2 but the recommendation was that I need to move to 2012 Express.
When I moved to the new machine, the mover (LapLink) screwed up the version of 2008 R2. IOW, I now have to go forward and install 2012..
I downloaded all the 64 bit files (5 of them). When I start SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe, the process starts and then I'm given the choice of a new install or upgrade. I chose the new install. The process started and I got the following message ...
"Failed to retrieve data for this request.."
There are no hints anyplace as to what this means.
When I click "OK", a new status window pops up and proclaims that something is wrong. Then all activity stops.
I don't know what to do. I can't use either version and I really can't tell you much more to help me.

Need help installing sql server 2012 on windows server 2012 core

Hi Guys
I am having trouble installing sql server 2012 on windows server 2012 core. I am doing this on VM and my VM is not connected to internet.
This setup is part of preparing lab for sql serve exam 70-462. I would really appreciate your help.
I am including the links to the log files that were generated after installation. There are following 2 files
Component Update and
Detail_Global_Rules
Thanks

Hi
iworkonline,
Regarding to your original question, you can work around it according to Prashanth’s post or unclick the “Include SQL Server Product Updates" checkbox when installing SQL Server on your VM.
Regarding to your second question, I make a test using TechNet Virtual Lab and everything works as expected . Below are my steps.
1. Choose Web client after laughing the Lab.
2. Choose SQLONE machine and “OPEN CHARMS” as follows, then search SQL Server Management Studio, use it to connect to the default instance (which has been installed in the lab).
From your description, you get error message “Device not ready”. Could you please post more details? Are you installing SQL Server 2012 on the TechNet Virtual Lab?
Thanks,

I need help with SQL Server 2012

Hi Everyone,
I am using the query pane to create a database with the data file and log file but keep getting this error message. I will be glad if someone can help.
You can see below the syntax:
Msg 5123, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5(Access is denied.) while attempting to open or create the physical file 'C:\project.mdf'.
Msg 1802, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors..
CREATE DATABASE project
ON
(Name= 'project_dat',
FILENAME ='C:\project.mdf',
SIZE = 10,
MAXSIZE = 100,
FILEGROWTH = 5)
LOG ON
(NAME = project_log,
FILENAME = 'C:\project.ldf',
SIZE =40,
MAXSIZE = 100,
FILEGROWTH = 10);

Look at the second number in your constraints ValidBirthYear and ValidDeathYear. Do you mean to limit it to years between 1000-1199 and 2000-2199? Also, your ValidDeathYear constraint is using DateOfBirth.
CONSTRAINT
ValidBirthYear
CHECK
(DateOfBirth LIKE '[1-2]
[0-1] [0-9] [0-9]'),
CONSTRAINT
ValidDeathYear
CHECK
(DateOfBirth LIKE '[1-2]
[0-1] [0-9] [0-9]'));
I'm very much a beginner so that may not fix your issue but it sure looks like the cause of the second message to me.

Need help on SQL server issues

Hello,
We have a table (example: tableA) with approximately 14 million records and many stored procedures uses this table for joins during retrieve on UI.
The data in this table will be populated through an SSIS package, once in every day. Actually, the SSIS package will populate another table (example: tableA_ETL) and then renames the table to the original name (example: from tableA_ETL to tableA and tableA
to tableA_ETL) so that it would not affect the end users during data populate.
Now the issue is that we are getting 'Invalid object name dbo.tableA' error while user try to retrieve on UI. We observed that this is happening when user does a retrieve operation through UI during the table rename (example from tableA_ETL to tableA).
Could anyone please suggest any solution for this?
Thanks
Rakesh

Richard.
What is use of FREEPROCCACHE ? is it really required. You should have also included in your answer the grave afteraffects of running this command. This would clear cache store for proc and proc might start taking longer time to execute.
The issue is simple here IMO its just the object change is not happening correctly or users are trying to access when change is happening

Silent install of SQL Server 2008r2 for ALL users?

We ship an installer that does a silent install of SQL Server 2008r2 with all the 'right' parameters pre-configured. We use this:
/QS /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQL,BC,Conn,ADV_SSMS /SAPWD=MyPasswordGoesHere /SECURITYMODE=SQL /TCPENABLED=1 /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
However, the problem is that if a tech installs it for another user, that user does not have access, since ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN flag only adds the user who installed it -- rather than adding ALL users on the computer. (Or at least all admins.)
I tried replacing ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN with this:
/SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\ADMINISTRATORS"
but that also failed to work. How can we install for all users, or at least all administrators?
NOTE: we do NOT know the name of the computer or the users. The installer has to work for any computer setup.
Similar question has already been asked, but wasn't helpful:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/8354675f-be9b-4909-b776-942f03954807/how-to-do-a-silent-install-of-sql-2010-express-for-all-users-on-a-computer?forum=sqlexpress
The documentation does not make it clear what you can pass as allowed SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS parameters. I also am not sure if I would need to change the AGTSVCACCOUNT or SQLSVCACCOUNT?

I tried one more thing:
/SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators"
which does not halt installation with an error.
However, doing:
osql -E
create database test
go
in a command prompt from a different admin user on the same machine results in a permissions error... but works if done from a command prompt on the user account from which MSSQLServer was installed.
So for some reason /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators" does not work as expected.
Anyone have any idea why?
I checked the output log from the install, and found it had generated and used a configurationFIle to do the install. I looked in that file, and these were the settings, even though I did NOT pass /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN as a command line option:
; Windows account(s) to provision as SQL Server system administrators.
SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators"
; The default is Windows Authentication. Use "SQL" for Mixed Mode Authentication.
SECURITYMODE="SQL"
; Provision current user as a Database Engine system administrator for SQL Server 2008 R2 Express.
ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN="True"

Help installing Sql server 2014

Sir i am currently using Visual studio 2013 (with built in Local DB v11), sir i need to use SQL Server Agent (for timed jobs) and cannot find that option in Local DB. Do i need to install SQL Server management studio 2014 for this purpose? If yes, i DON'T know
which version should i install ? will it affect my currently available Local DB ? i was thinking about installing this:
Express with Advanced Services (SQLEXPRADV_Architecture_Language.exe)
Please help and reply, thank you so much.. !

i need to use SQL Server Agent
Hello,
The feature SQL Server Agent is only available in Web/BI/Standard/Enterprise Edition, not in Express nor LocalDB, see

Thank you,
Steve -

The error message appears to be related to a debug session and not come from the actual crash.
So all I know is that you hade a server crash. I don't even know exactly what that means. Did Windows bite the dust? Or was it only SQL Server?
Assuming the latter, I would expect the SQL Server errorlog to have some information (and that would be ERRORLOG.1 or earlier, since the server have been restarted), but if SQL Server died the output may be incomplete.
There may be also dump files, but as I rarely look into these, I am not sure how to interpret them. But I am quite confident that "Unable to verify TimeStamp..." is not the reason SQL Server went down.
I would suggest the following course:
* If the server is not critical, do nothing. As long as it has onlyl happened once, it has only happened once.
* If the server is critical, open a case with Microsoft if you are not able to figure out the reason yourself. The key here is "Unknown exception - code 000042ac".
* If it happens again, you should absolutely open a case. An important thing here is whether the stack dump is identical or something different. If the stack dumps are identical, you may have hit a bug in SQL Server or the OS, and applying CUs or OS
fixes could help if it is a known issue. If the stack dump is something else, you have ghosts in the machine - that is, bad hardware.

Taking snapshot of oracle tables to sql server using transactional replication is taking a long time

Hi All,
I am trying to replicate around 200 oracle tables onto sql server using transaction replication and it taking a long time i.e the initial snapshot is taking more than 24 hrs and it still going on.
Is there any way to replicate those these tables faster?
Kindly help me out..
Thanks

Hi,
According to the description, I know the replication is working fine. But it is very slow.
1. Check the CPU usage on Oracle publisher and SQL Server. This issue may due to slow client processing (Oracle performance) or Network performance issues.
2. Based on SQL Server 2008 Books Online ‘Performance Tuning for Oracle Publishers’ (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151179(SQL.100).aspx). You can enable the transaction
job set and follow the instructions based on
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms147884(v=sql.100).aspx.
2. You can enable replication agent logging to check the replication behavior. You may follow these steps to collect them:
To enable Distribution Agent verbose logging. Please follow these steps:
a. Open SQL Server Agent on the distribution server.
b. Under Jobs folder, find out the Distribution Agent.
c. Right click the job and choose Properties.
d. Select Steps tap, it should be like this:
e. Click Run agent and click Edit button, add following scripts by the end of scripts in the command box:
-Output C:\Temp\OUTPUTFILE.txt -Outputverboselevel 2
f. Exit the dialogs

Help! SQL Server to Oracle 10.1.0.2

Hello! I need your help.
I need to migrate SQL Server 2000 to Oracle 10g on HP-UX.
I read the SQL Developer documentation, but it only seems to be available for Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
Is there one available for Unix?
Thank you in advance,
si

As user502130 indicates, you don't have to run sqldev on the database server itself; any Linux/Windows/Mac client will do.
Nevertheless, if you can install a JDK on Unix, you can install the platform independent sqldev.
Have fun,
K.

The instance is set MAximum memory tro 20 GB.
After executing a huge query (2277 kB generated by IBM SPSS Clementine) with tons of CASE and a lot of AND/OR statements in the WHERE and CASE statements and muliple subqueries the server stops responding on Out of memory in the internal pool
and the query optimizer has allocated all the memory.
From Management Data Warehouse we can find that the query was executed at
7.11.2014 22:40:57
Then at 1:22:48 we recieve FAIL_PACE_ALLOCATION 1

On the other side MDW reports that the MEMORYCLERK_SQLOPTIMIZER increases since the execution of the query up to the point of OUTOF MEMORY, but the Average value is 54.7 MB during that period as can be seen on attached graph.
We have encountered this issue already two times (every time the critical query is executed).

Hi,
This does seems to me kind of memory Leak and actually it is from SQL Optimizer which leaked memory from buffer pool so much that it did not had any memory to be allocated for new page.

Can you post complete DBCC MEMORYSTATUS output which was generated in errorlog. Is this the only message in errorlog or there are some more messages before and after it.
select (SUM(single_pages_kb)*1024)/8192 as total_stolen_pages, type
from sys.dm_os_memory_clerks
group by typeorder by total_stolen_pages desc
and
select sum(pages_allocated_count * page_size_in_bytes)/1024,type from sys.dm_os_memory_objects
group by type
If you can post the output of above two queries with dbcc memorystaus output on some shared drive and share location with us here. I would try to find out what is leaking memory.
You can very well apply SQL Server 2008 r2 SP3 and see if this issue subsides but I am not sure whether this is fixed or actually it is a bug.

How could I create a "Linked Server" link from SQL Server 2008R2 64-Bit to Oracle Database 11.2 64-Bit?

How could I create a "Linked Server" link from SQL Server 2008R2 64-Bit to Oracle Database 11.2 64-Bit?
Let's say the SQL Server and Oracle Database are in the same Company Internet Network.
I have the code, but I do not know how to use it. Such as what is System DSN Name? Where could I get it. What does it look like?
Do I need to install any Oracle Client Software in order to link from SQL Server to Oracle? Or SQL Server has the built-in drivers installed already that I can directly create a Linked Server from SQL Server to Oracle?
I need to know details. Thanks.
USE master
go
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
     @server  = '{Linked Server Name}'
    ,@srvproduct = '{System DSN Name}'
    ,@provider  = 'MSDASQL'
    ,@datasrc  = '{System DSN Name}'
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
     @rmtsrvname = '{Linked Server Name}'
    ,@useself  = 'False'
    ,@locallogin = NULL
    ,@rmtuser  = '{Oracle User Name}'
    ,@rmtpassword = '{Oracle User Password}'

You need an OLE DB provider for Oracle. There is one that ships with Windows, but it only supports very old versions of Oracle. Oracle has an OLE DB provider that you can use. I don't know if it's part of Oracle Client or how it is bundled.
You should not use MSDASQL or any DSN.

SQL Server 2008R2 vs 2012 OLTP performance difference - log flushes size different

Hi all,
I'm doing some performance test against 2 identical virtual machine (each VM has the same virtual resources and use the same physical hardware).
The 1° VM has Windows Server 2008R2 and SQL Server 2008R2 Standard Edition
the 2° VM has Windows Server 2012R2 and SQL Server 2012 SP2 + CU1 Standard Edition
I'm using hammerDB (http://hammerora.sourceforge.net/) has benchmark tool to simulate TPC-C test.
I've noticed a significative performance difference between SQL2008R2 and SQL2012, 2008R2 does perform better. Let's explain what I've found:
I use a third VM as client where HammerDB software is installed, I run the test against the two SQL Servers (one server at a time), in SQL2008R2 I reach an higher number of transaction per minutes.
HammerDB creates a database on each database server (so the database are identical except for the compatibility level), and then HammerDB execute a sequence of query (insert-update) simulating the TPC-C standard, the sequence is identical on both servers.
Using perfmon on the two servers I've found a very interesting thing:
In the disk used by the hammerDB database's log (I use separate disk for data and log) I've monitored the Avg. Disk Bytes/Write and I've noticed tha the SQL2012 writes to the log with smaller packet (let's say an average of 3k against an average of 5k written
by the SQL 2008R2).
I've also checked the value of Log flushes / sec on both servers and noticed that SQL2012 do, on average, more log flushes per second, so more log flushes of less bytes...
I've searched for any documented difference in the way log buffers are flushed to disk between 2008r2 and 2012 but found no difference.
Anyone can piont me in the correct direction?

Andrea,
1) first of all fn_db_log exposes a lot of fields that do not exist in SQL2008R2
This is correct, though I can't elaborate as I do not know how/why the changes were made.
2) for the same DML or DDL the number of log record generated are different
I thought as much (but didn't know the workload).
I would like to read and to study what this changes are! Have you some usefu link to interals docs?
Unfortunately I cannot offer anything as the function used is currently undocumented and there are no published papers or documentation by MS on reading log records/why/how. I would assume this to all be NDA information by Microsoft.
Sorry I can't be of more help, but you at least know that the different versions do have behavior changes.
