SQL Server access to MDB databases slow

We had a stored procedure with one section that populates a single variable in the SP from a query to a MSAccess database MDB file via a linked server. It was running from SQL Server MSDE 2000 and it was fast on an XP system.
We transferred to a SQL Server 2012 database on a 32bit Win 7 machine and the same SP will time out before returning a simple result. Code calls a SP and within that SP is a call to another SP where it shows the timeout error message. I
can run the exact same SP in SSMS on a Win 7 box hitting the very database where the error occurs during the program code execution and it returns results in less than one second.
I've heard folks talk about this being a known problem. Does anyone have a workaround to resolve this issue?
TIA
Harry

Hello,
You can capture the whole process using SQL Server Profiler and verify exactly how much time is taking every instruction. You will be able to identify which instruction
is giving the timeout, and probably a better description of the error.
The following article may help you use SQL Server Profiler.
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/21371/SQL-Server-Profiler-Step-by-Step
Try to capture all default events and error events. Select all columns.
Hope this helps.

RE: Database (SQL-SERVER) access problem

Have you used NT Control Panel/ ODBC to set up the ODBC data source name?
You have to define the data source (database) SecTrade as well as the
driver to be used (SQL Server). This can be done by selecting the Add
button on the Data Sources screen in Control Panel/ ODBC.
Hope this helps.

Hi Forte-Users,
We have a setup a Sql-Server database on a NT server. In the Forte
EConsole,
we have
setup a ODBC-type Resource for this server, named SERVER2_ODBC. This NT
server
is configured as a Client Node in the active Forte environment. Note
that
Server2 is not
the Forte server, but has Forte installed. There is another NT server
which
acts as the
Forte server. NODEMGR and Sql-Server are running on SERVER2.
In our application, we have a DBSession SO with the database source
as SERVER2_ODBC, Userid=ForteInstructor. When running the application,
Forte
throws an exception, the gist of it being as follows:
USER ERROR: (This error was converted)
Failed to connect to database: SecTrade, username: ForteInstructor.
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no
default
driver specified
We have tried
1) Installing ODBC drivers on the NT server (Server2)
2) Accessing local databases from Forte clients which works fine
3) Accessing the Sql-Server database through Isqlw (Sql-Server Client
s/w) -
It works.
Could someone suggest what we should try to get rid of this problem?
Thanks for any help,
Kishore Puvvada

Hi Team,
I got this error message even no one DB configured as mirroring ???

Can you check the rule. By default the configurations are disabled state that is the reason you are getting the alert.
If it's not configured properly then you might need to override it

SQL Server Agent Job And Database Mail - Error formatting query, probably invalid paramters

We have a stored procedure that we are trying to call with a SQL Server Agent Job. The stored procedure calls Database Mail. This is SQL 2008. The execute task is simply:
USE [Production]
GO
EXEC [dbo].[JOB_EMAIL_SCHEDULED_REPORTS]
GO
When the job runs, it is erroring out immediately, with the error:
Execute as user: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE. Error formatting query, probably invalid paramters [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22050). The step failed.
When we go into SQL Server Manager and just execute the SQL query, it works though. Something within the SQL Server Agent job, and Database Mail is causing problems. Any ideas? Thanks.

Justin,
If you use SSMS then the procedure is executed under a different user when compared to running using a SQL Server Agent Job.
Isolate the problem by running a SQL Server agent job that sends a mail. Also check if the NT Authority\Network Service account is
in good standing. Look at the below thread with a similar problem that had an expired account.

Querying SQL server table from Oracle database 11g

Hi all
We are using oracle database 11g R2 on REL 5 and i have an SQL server database used by one of our application.
In my Oracle database, i want to query one table in my SQL server database and to link it in a table in Oracle database to compare data.
Is there a way like database link or something else to do this need>
Please send a link or pots here step by step the way on how to accomplish my query.
Thank you.

Yes, you can set up your SQL Server as an external database link, using Oracle Heterogeneous Services with SQL Server as an ODBC connection (easier to do if your Oracle server is a Windows server, a little more tricky if your Oracle server is *nix based)
Here's the documentation... for 11gR2
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/search?remark=quick_search&word=heterogeneous+services

Can DPM 2012 R2 backup SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn enabled databases

Is it possible to use DPM 2012 R2 for backing up
SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn enabled databases ?
Because if Alwayson configured for any Database , particular database is not available to select for backup.

Hi,
Yes, starting with DPM 2012 SP1 SQL AlwaysOn enabled databases can be protected as long as they are not part of sharepoint farm. DPM shows the Availability Groups under Cluster Group.
You must explicitly add the system account NTAuthority\System or NT AUTHORITY\DPMRA to the Sysadmin group on SQL Server.

SQL Server Upgrade Advisor 2014 - Database Compatibility Level checking

I have the following scenario... I have a database server running SQL Server 2008 R2 (10.50.4260). On that server I restored a database from SQL Server 2005. Looking at the compatibility level through the properties of the database (using SSMS) and
by querying against sys.databases, I can see the database has the compatibility level of 90, which is what I expected.
In looking to bring this database over to a SQL Server 2014 database server, I have run the SQL Server Upgrade Advisor 2014 tool as well as the SQL Server Upgrade Advisor 2012 tool. With the 2014 tool, my expectation would be that it would warn me
that the compatibility level will be upgraded to 10 (or something), however, I received no such warning. I ran the 2012 version of the tool as well, expecting that I might get a deprecation warning (or something), no such luck. I have run the 2014
tool from my computer and from another one, same results.
Does the upgrade advisor not check for the compatibility level? Or does my configuration maybe have something to do with it (having it on a 2008 R2 server)? From looking at screenshots of when other people have ran the tool, I was under the impression
it checked this. See the link below for an example...
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mspfe/archive/2012/12/06/sql-server-upgrade-advisor-considerations-when-upgrading-from-sql-2000-to-sql-2012.aspx
Thoughts anyone?

Lydia,
I agree with regards to the 2012 version. However, in SQL Server 2014, upgrading a database with a compatibility level of 90 sets
the database to compatibility level 100. See link below...
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb510680.aspx
Shouldn't the 2014 version of the advisor tool issue the same warning seen in the screenshot of the msdn blog post we both mentioned? As in... "After upgrade, compatibility levels <list of levels>, will be set to 100".
Hi JJordheim,
According to my test, SQL Server 2014 Upgrade Advisor also only raise warning when database compatibility level is less than 90 in the “SQL Server Parameters” page.
From your description, when database compatibility level is set to 90, SQL Server 2014 Upgrade Advisor should also raise warning, right? If so , this is a design issue of SQL Server 2014 Upgrade Advisor, personally, I recommend you
submit a feedback to the Microsoft Connect at this link
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback . Your feedback enables Microsoft to offer the best software and deliver superior services.
Thanks,

Oracle dblink to sql server, accessing multiple database on same sql server under one dblink

Hi, we have successfully managed to set up an Oracle dblink over to sql server and retrieve data.
The sql server user were using via the dblink has access to more than one database on the same sql server
But the question is how in oracle (if at all possible) do you prefix the sql statement to access this ?
Eg:
Sqlserver_prod has user sqlserver_user which appears to be set up as default database on sqlserver_db1
But we have select access to sqlserver_db2
all work fine as sqlserver_user
select * from table_fromdb1
select * from dbo.table_fromdb1
select * from sqlserver_db1.dbo.table_fromdb1
as does
select * from sqlserver_db2.dbo.table_fromdb2
over in Oracle
Oracle_db has dblink sqlserver_prod.world connecting as sqlserver_user
all working fine
select * from "table_fromdb1"@sqlserver_prod
select * from "dbo"."table_fromdb1"@sqlserver_prod
but how (if at all possible) do I access from oracle
sqlserver_db2.dbo.table_fromdb2
without having to create a new sqlserver_db2_user referenced in a new dblink
if oracle to oracle would be
select * from remote_oracle_schema.table@remote_oracle_db

Hi, ok cheers, I see, original gateway was connecting purely at host_name level
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host
Planning to amend this to be
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host//sqlserver_db1
With exisiting dblink
And to create new gateway
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=sqlserver_host//sqlserver_db2
With new exisitng dblink,will see how we get on
Cheers again

MS SQL Server problem with MDB's: javax.transaction.xa.XAException

          I am programming agents in j2ee and using MDB to implement the asynchronicity of
          the agents.
          Those MDB's get messages (MapMessage) from a controller (an SFSB) that contain
          the agent's ID and the action that the agent has to perform. The MDB creates a
          SFSB, and calls the appropriate action from this session bean. Those actions require
          to read and write from my MS SQL Server 2000 XA database. But when running my
          program, I often get this error, which doesn't seem to affect the action, because
          when I check my database data, everything is updated correctly. So the program
          still completes, but the errors slow down the execution (the program hangs for
          about 3 seconds, each time the error occurs).
          Does anybody has an explanation or solution for this?
          Thank you...

model is in RESTORING state and I dont know how to fix it. I am running simple backups, so I have a somewhat recent backup of model.bak but when I attempt to restore it I get an error:
1> restore database model
2> go
restore database model

other forums suggest manually updating the status column but i dont know if my syntax is wrong or it just cant be done in sql server 2008:
1> begin transaction
2> update sysdatabases set status=16 where name='model'
3> ;
4> go
begin transaction
update sysdatabases set status=16 where name='model'

yet another forum suggested taking a cleanly shut down model.mdf and model.ldf from another sql server 2008 instance and placing those in the data directory while moving the 'restoring' ones to a backup location. this didnt work either. any help is appreciated im new to sql server and this is very frustrating! thanks in advance!

I have the same issue on SQL Server 2008R2, after a server reboot, but none of the NET START commands or command line attempts are successful to start the Service.
NET START command results in "Access Denied" "System Error 5" and the Command line attempts result in

Any help?

Variable database name in SQL Server query using Oracle database link

Hi All,
I have an ApEx 4.1 app running on 11g x64 (11.2.0.1) on Windows Server 2008 x64, and I have some data integration points with a SQL Server (2005 and 2008) that I need to establish. I have configured the database link with dg4odbc and it works beautifully... I can execute queries against the SQL Server database without any problems using the database link.
However, there is a scenario where the SQL Server database name is dynamic, and I need to generate it on the fly in a PL/SQL block, and then use that in a dynamic SQL query (all of this in ApEx). This is where I run into problems... when I am querying the default database based on the ODBC connection and I don't have to specify the database name, there is no issue. But when I need to access one of several other non-default databases, I keep receiving the "invalid table" error.
This runs fine:* (note that "fv" is the name of my database link)
v_query1 := 'select "ReleaseDate" from dbo.Schedules@fv where dbo.Schedules."SchedID" = :schedule';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_query1 into rel_date using schedule;
I then take that rel_date variable, convert to a varchar2 (rel_date_char), and then use it as the database name in the next query...
This returns an error_ (Error ORA-00903: invalid table name)
v_query2 := 'select "PARTNO" from :rel_date_char.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID" = :schedule and "UnitID" = :unit
and "MasterKey" = :master and "ParentKey" = :parent';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_query2 into part_number using schedule, unit, master, parent;
I have also tried using all of the following to no avail:
'select "PARTNO" from ' || :rel_date_char || '.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID"...
'select "PARTNO" from ' || rel_date_char || '.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID"...
'select "PARTNO" from ' || @rel_date_char || '.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID"...
'select "PARTNO" from @rel_date_char.dbo.ProdDetails@fv where "SchedID"...
Is there a way to do this in PL/SQL?
Thanks for any help!

Just did a test using passthrough:

Now using variables to perform the select:
SQL> declare
2 val varchar2(100);
3 c integer;
4 nr integer;
5 tabname varchar2(20) :='EMP';
6 ownr varchar2(20) :='dbo';
7 dbname varchar2(20) :='gateway';
8 begin
9 c:= dbms_hs_passthrough.open_cursor@FREETDS_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_11_2_0_3;
10 dbms_hs_passthrough.parse@FREETDS_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_11_2_0_3 (c, 'SELECT count(*) FROM '||dbname||'.'|| ownr || '.'||tabname||'');
11 LOOP
12 nr:= DBMS_Hs_Passthrough.fetch_row@FREETDS_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_11_2_0_3(c);
13 exit when nr=0;
14 dbms_hs_passthrough.get_value@FREETDS_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_11_2_0_3(c,1,val);
15 dbms_output.put_line(val);
16 end loop;
17 dbms_hs_passthrough.close_cursor@FREETDS_DG4ODBC_EMGTW_11_2_0_3(c);
18 end;
19 /
24576
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
=> instead of executing the statement using "execute Immediate" we have to use PASTHROUGH package to pass the statement to the SQL Server.

Restrict SQL Server access on IP and/or Hostname base

I need to implement a security policy for machine-2-machine accounts that requires to limit their access to database, only if it is from the IP (or hostname) of the application server that hosts the application. It has been decided because is a native feature
provided on Oracle, I can't find anything similar on SQL Server, please can you help me to address this requirement according Microsoft best practices?
Thank you
Andrea

regarding firewall solution, if I must reach a DB from my workstation with AD integrated authentication but not with a standard login, normally used by a Java application on ux environment application server, how can I manage it with a fw rule? (I use mixed
authentication on SQL Server because I have mixed platforms)
If you want rules like: account X but account Y may access the server from machine A, a firewall solution becomes difficult, since the firewall don't know what is in the packets they block.
However, it is still doable, provided that the server has multiple NIC. Each NIC will be an endpoint in SQL Server. You use the firewall to configure which machines that can access the IP address at all. But you only grant CONNECT permission on the endpoint
for accounts that should be permitted to use that IP address.
I noticed on various forums possible custom solutions based on logon triggers, I think it can be havy in terms of performance in cases (like mine) when there are tens of databases and hundreds of logins to manage in logon phase, checking whitelist tables
on every logon, moreover I monitored the actual situation with server side traces on login event and I captured many records where hostname field is NULL and it seems it can be managed from the application code side, so this check can be bypassed.
Yes, looking at the hostname is out of the question. You will need to look at the IP address, as I mentioned.
I am not going deny that a logon trigger is a heavier solution than a firewall. There is also the risk that if you mess it up, you lock yourself out. This can be sorted out by using the DAC, but it can cause some panic...

Upgrade OM 2012 to SP1 Beta - Version of SQL Server for the Operational Database and the Data Warehouse

Hello,
When I try to verify the prerequisites to upgrade my SCOM 2012 UR2 Platform to SP1 Beta, I have these errors :
The installed version of SQL Server is not supported for the operational database.
The installed version of SQL Server is not supported for the data warehouse.
But when I execute this query Select @@version on my MSSQL Instance, the result is :
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (X64) Jun 17 2011 00:54:03 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7600: ) (Hypervisor)
But
here, we can see that :
Microsoft SQL Server: SQL Server SQL 2008 R2 SP1, SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2, SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2012 SP1, are supported.
Do I need to pach my MSSQL Server with a specific cumulative update package ?
Thanks.

These are the requirements for your SQL:
SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2012 are available in both Standard and Enterprise editions. Operations Manager will function with both editions.
Operations Manager does not support hosting its databases or SQL Server Reporting Services on a 32-bit edition of SQL Server.
Using a different version of SQL Server for different Operations Manager features is not supported. The same version should be used for all features.
SQL Server collation settings for all databases must be one of the following: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS, French_CI_AS, Cyrillic_General_CI_AS, Chinese_PRC_CI_AS, Japanese_CI_AS, Traditional_Spanish_CI_AS, or Latin1_General_CI_AS. No other collation
settings are supported.
The SQL Server Agent service must be started, and the startup type must be set to automatic.
Side-by-side installation of System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2 reporting and System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Operations Manager reporting on the same server is not supported.
The db_owner role for the operational database must be a domain account. If you set the SQL Server Authentication to Mixed mode, and then try to add a local SQL Server login on the operational database, the Data Access service will not be able to start.
For information about how to resolve the issue, see
System Center Data Access Service Start Up Failure Due to SQL Configuration Change
If you plan to use the Network Monitoring features of System Center 2012 – Operations Manager, you should move the tempdb database to a separate disk that has multiple spindles. For more information, see
tempdb Database.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj656654.aspx#BKMK_RBF_OperationsDatabase
Check the SQL server agent service and see whether it is set to automatic AND started. This got me confused at my first SP1 install as well. This is not done by default...
It's doing common things uncommonly well that brings succes.
