Stop charging of Sql Server
My company has a Sql Server Virtual machine. It cost us alot of money to have Sql Server running on this machine, so we have migrated all data to another database and shutdown all Sql Server services, but azures keep charging for run time of the Sql Server.
Is it possible to remove Sql Server without reinstalling the machine, so we dont have to pay for it?
Hi,
Is the Azure Virtual Machine still running ?
You will have to Stop the Virtual Machine [from the management portal] to avoid getting charged for compute time.

Mekh.

SQL Server 2008 KB2977321 Failed with Error code 1642
As part of application of security patches via windows update, sql server KB2977321 was applied along with a number of OS security patches.
Prior to applying the patches, I stopped the agent, engine, reporting, analysis and full text services.
The Sql server build prior to windows update was (for both instances):
ProductVersion
ProductLevel
Edition
10.0.5500.0
SP3
Standard Edition (64-bit)
After the update process, my main instance is showing (the second instance is not in use yet and I have left it in its stopped state)

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:

Hello,
Did you made sure no transactions like restore logs were running when you stopped SQL server service or agent .I have seen in SQL 2000 an abrupt stop of SQL Server agent when its doing a process can sometimes force database in suspect mode.
I would like you to get your disk analyzed by vendor ASAP for any fault in disk at first go it seems to me an underlying hardware issue.
Please can you check errorlog and event viewer to find out any possible cause for database going into suspect mode
I always suggest to use Backup and restore method of recovery to get out from suspect database problem.If you dont have then you can move with DBCC Checkdb and various repair options but be sure
DATA LOSS might be possible when you use repair allow data loss and repair_rebuild removes constraints.
hope this helps

How to recover from mdf file (SQL Server 2000)
Hi,
My database corrupted because when I was running an update query, there is a power failure. After the computer booted, I cannot open the database anymore, it just not responding. Then I stop the sql server service, and tried to rename the .mdf and .ldf. After that it worked normally, but I need the data from the corrupted mdf file, I tried to attach the database but it just hanged. I even tried to attach without the .ldf file but it didn't work either, so I concluded that the problem is with the mdf file.
Is there any way to recover my data ??
Thanks in advance
Regards,
EdwinTry this undocumented stuff provided by Kevin [MS].
==========
1. Back up the .mdf/.ndf files at first!!!
2. Change the database context to Master and allow updates to system tables:
Use Master
Go
sp_configure 'allow updates', 1
reconfigure with override
Go
3. Set the database in Emergency (bypass recovery) mode:
select * from sysdatabases where name = '<db_name>'
-- note the value of the status column for later use in # 6
begin tran
update sysdatabases set status = 32768 where name = '<db_name>'
-- Verify one row is updated before committing
commit tran
4. Stop and restart SQL server.
5. Call DBCC REBUILD_LOG command to rebuild a "blank" log file based on the
suspected db.
The syntax for DBCC REBUILD_LOG is as follows:
DBCC rebuild_log('<db_name>','<log_filename>')
where <db_name> is the name of the database and <log_filename> is
the physical path to the new log file, not a logical file name. If you
do not
specify the full path, the new log is created in the Windows NT system
root
directory (by default, this is the Winnt\System32 directory).
6. Set the database in single-user mode and run DBCC CHECKDB to validate
physical consistency:
sp_dboption '<db_name>', 'single user', 'true'
DBCC checkdb('<db_name>')
Go
begin tran
update sysdatabases set status = <prior value> where name = '<db_name>'
-- verify one row is updated before committing
commit tran
Go
7. Turn off the updates to system tables by using:
sp_configure 'allow updates', 0
reconfigure with override
Go

CF8 & MSDE SQL Server DSN Connection Error SOLVED!!!
Getting the following error trying to add a CF DSN to SQL
Server?
Connection verification failed for data source:
datasource_name
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC
Driver]Error establishing socket to host and port: localhost:1433.
Reason: Connection refused: connect
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket to
host and port: localhost:1433. Reason: Connection refused: connect
There are several steps in order to make ColdFusion 8 and
MSDE SQL 2005 Server
1. TCP/IP is not enabled by default. When looking in SQL
Server Configuration Manager it appears TCP/IP is enabled by there
is a second place that it has to be enabled.
2. The TCP/IP port is dynamically assigned each time the
service is started, if they are no errors it the port number stays
the same but if there is an error the port number is dynamically
changed the next time the service starts.
3. You have to add your dsn login username and password to
the database in order to connect without using the sa username and
password.
Steps to get DSN setup correctly.
1. Open SQL Server Configuration Manager
2. Expand the SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration Group
3. Click on Protocols for SQLEXPRESS
4. Right click TCP/IP in the right pane and select properties
5. On the protocol tab under enabled set to yes and apply.
6. Disable dynamic port assignments by following the
instruction below:
If enabled, the default instance of the Microsoft SQL Server
Database Engine listens on TCP port 1433. Named instances of the
SQL Server Database Engine and SQL Server Compact Edition are
configured for dynamic ports, which means they select an available
port when the SQL Server service is started. When connecting to a
named instance through a firewall, configure the Database Engine to
listen on a specific port, so that the appropriate port can be
opened in the firewall.
To assign a TCP/IP port number to the SQL Server Database
Engine
In SQL Server Configuration Manager, in the console pane,
expand SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration, expand Protocols for
<instance name>, and then double-click TCP/IP.
In the TCP/IP Properties dialog box, on the IP Addresses tab,
several IP addresses appear, in the format IP1, IP2, up to IPAll.
One of these are for the IP address of the loopback adapter,
127.0.0.1. Additional IP addresses appear for each IP Address on
the computer. Right-click each address, and then click Properties
to identify the IP address that you wish to configure.
If the TCP Dynamic Ports dialog box contains 0, indicating
the Database Engine is listening on dynamic ports, delete the 0.
In the IPn Properties area box, in the TCP Port box, type the
port number you wish this IP address to listen on, and then click
OK.
In the console pane, click SQL Server 2005 Services.
In the details pane, right-click SQL Server (<instance
name>) and then click restart, to stop and restart SQL
Server.
7. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
8. Connect to your local copy of SQL Server
9. Expand the Security group
10. Right click login. Select new login.
12. Enter the dsn login name you want.
11. Choose SQL Server Authetication.
12. Enter the dsn password you want twice.
13. Disable user must change password at next login
14. Choose default database if you like.
15. Click User Mappings in left pane.
16. Click databases you want login to have access to.
17. Click ok.
You should now be able to add your CF DSN using localhost for
server and the port number you put in earlier. Default port number
is 1433.
You can view which port number SQL is listening to at this
registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
Server\SQLEXPRESS\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\Tcp
tcpport
You can test connectivity to the sql server by typing telnet
localhost 1433 or the port number you selected at a command prompt.
You should get a blank screen not an error.
Hope this helps, I spent 3 hours figuring it out.
DavidI'm running into the same error with CFMX 7 and SQL 2000. The
port is set correctly (1433) in SQL, but it just can't communicate
successfully. SQL reside on a seperate server. Any thoughts?

Our Application needs to have the use of the [Named Pipes] and [TCP/IP] Protocols. To save our Users the hassle of having to enable them manually our application has always done it for them and then stopped and restarted SQL Server. However
since the advent of Vista and Windows 7, the restart stopped working. We solved the problem by detecting the failure to re-start and giving Users sufficient instructions for them to do it themselves. Since this only occurs during installation on
the Server, this approach has not been too much of a hassle. However we would like to tidy this up if possible. This the VBA code that is causing the problem:
obj_SQLServerInstance2.Start _
g_SQL_UseWindowsAuthentication, _
SQLServerInstance, _
UserName, _
Password
This still works when run under XP, but fails under Windows 7 with the Error:
[SQL-DMO]Service Control Error: Access is denied.
Does anyone know how to resolve the problem?This still works when run under XP, but fails under Windows 7 with the Error:
[SQL-DMO]Service Control Error: Access is denied.
Hello Brian,
Under Windows 7 you have to run the VBA script with admin permission, a normal user don't have permissions to start/stop services.

Sap4.7 and sql server 2000 on windows2003:when install di ,error:MDB-05039
sap4.7 and sql server 2000 on windows2003:
when install database instance ,there is a error,at change tempdb
MDB-05039:Unable to stop server dev ,
please help !!!!Every time you start SQL Server it also creates a new tempdb. When you change the layout (physical structure, size) you have to restart SQL Server in order for these changes to take effect.
It seems that the installation routine has changed the layout (it does that according to your input!) and is now trying to stop and restart SQL Server. When you run into this error, have you tried to stop and restart SQL Server manually? After that choose the Retry option of the installation routine. Just a guess...
Do you have some more log information?

How to stop SQL Server 2008 R2 generating SQLDump.mdmp files constantly?
Something went wrong with local SQL Server 2008 R2 and it constantly generates SQLDump.mdmp files. It generated 40Gb(!) of SQLDump.mdmp this morning. Server rebooted, but didn't help.
Any ideas what happened with SQL Server and how to stop SQLDump.mdmp files generation?
SharePoint 2007 - 2010 Tips & Tricks Portal | Microsoft MVP |
My Blog about Information Management |
My twitterMemory Dumps are generated automatically by the SQL Server under various circumstances - most of which indicate potential problems in the Instance or the machine. Some that I can recall right now are:
Database Corruption
Non-yielding scheduler
Non-yielding resource monitor
AV (Access Violation)
There can be several other reasons as well. SQL Server generates the dumps, so that these dumps can be analyzed to find out potential problems in the SQL Server.
IMHO, rather than trying to find out ways to stop the dumps from being generated, please try to find out potential problems in the Instance or the machine and fix that. This will stop the dump generation anyway.
In case you need any assistance in analyzing the Dumps, please feel free to engage Microsoft Support.

OGG for SQL Server - Extract stops capturing - Bug?
Hi, all,
I've found a problem with OGG for SQL Server where the Extract stops capturing data after the transaction log is backed up. I've looked for ways to reconfigure OGG to avoid the problem but couldn't find any reference to options to workaround this problem. It seems to be a bug to me.
My Extract configuration is as follows:
EXTRACT ext1
SOURCEDB mssql1
TRANLOGOPTIONS NOMANAGESECONDARYTRUNCATIONPOINT
EOFDELAY 60
EXTTRAIL dirdat/e1
TABLE dbo.TestTable;
I'm using the EOFDELAY parameter for testing purposes only, since it's easy to reproduce the scenario that causes the issue when the extract polling is configured with longer intervals.
When the Transaction Log backup runs, SQL Server marks all the virtual logs that are older than the primary and secondary truncation points as inactive (status = 0). These virtual logs can then be reused if required. They still contain change records, though, and OGG can read from then if required, before they are overwritten. This situation will never occur if we are not using SQL Replication and have the Extract configured with the parameter MANAGESECONDARYTRUNCATIONPOINT.
However, I'm trying to simulate a scenario where OGG is used along SQL Replication and the extract is configured with the NOMANAGESECONDARYTRUNCATIONPOINT option. The situation that I've reproduced and caused the Extract to stop capturing is the follow sequence of events:
1. Extract reads transaction log and capture change up to LSN X
2. More change are made to the database and the LSN is incremented
3. Log Reader reads Transaction Log, captures changes up to LSN X+Y and advances the secondary truncation point to that LSN
4. A transaction log occurs, backs up all the active virtual logs, advances the primary truncation point to a LSN greater than LSN X+Y, and marks all the virtual logs with LSNs <= X+Y as inactive (status = 0)
5. Changes continue to happen in the database consuming all the available inactive virtual logs and overwriting them.
6. The extract wakes up again to capture more changes.
At this point, the changes between LSNs X and X+Y are not in the Transaction Log anymore, but are available in the backups. From what I understood in the documentation the Extract should detect that situation and retrieve the changes from the Transaction Log backups. This, however, is not happening and the Extract becomes stuck. It still pools the transaction log at the configured interval query the log state with DBCC LOGINFO, but doesn't move forward anymore.
If I stop and restart the Extract I can see from the trace that it does the right thing upon startup. It realises that it requires information that's missing from the logs, query MSDB for the available backups, and mine the backups to get the required LSNs.
I would've thought the Extract should do the same during normal operation, without the need for a restart.
Is this a bug or the normal operation of the Extract? Is there a way to configure it to avoid this situation without using NOMANAGESECONDARYTRUNCATIONPOINT?
The following is the state of the Extract once it gets stuck. The last replicated change occurred at 2012-07-09 12:46:50.370000. All the changes after that, and there are many, were not captured until I restarted the Extract.

AndreIt might be something simple (or maybe not); but the best/fastest way to troubleshoot this would be to have Oracle (GoldenGate) support review your configuration. There are a number of critical steps required to allow GG to interoperate with MS's capture API. (I doubt this is it, but is your TranLogOptions on one line? It looks like you have it on two , the way it's formatted here.)
Anyway, GG support has seen it all, and can probably wrap this up quickly. (And if it was something simple -- or even a bug -- do post back here & maybe someone else can benefit from the solution.)
Perhaps someone else will be able to provide a better answer, but for the most part troubleshooting this (ie, sql server) via forum tends to be a bit like doing brain surgery blindfolded. -
Data Warehouse errors, SQL Server Agent Stopped
I just installed SCE 2010 on a 2k8 server and went through the config wizard. Now it is showing Data Warehouse alerts, including:
Data Warehouse failed to discover object health state standard data set. Failed to enumerate (discover) Data Warehouse objects and relationships among them. The operation will be retried.
Exception 'SqlException': Management Group with id '6FDBE66E-E35D-BCB8-0FA1-5947E45FE643' is not allowed to access Data Warehouse under login 'domain\user'

I let the SCE install SQL 2008 Express. When I checked on the SQL Services, SQL Server Agent Service is stopped and will not start. Not sure if this is the cause of the above issue. I also can't log in to the SQL Server Management Studio.
How can I fix this? What other information do you need from me.Danny01 - tried the domain admin rights on the service with no difference - put it back
Radhey Shah - I checked the admin account and it is the same account that I set the SQL up with. How do I verify this account has admin rights on the SQL DB?
The error that comes up when I try to run the SQL Server Agent Service is...
"The Sql Server Agent (Essentials) service on SCESERVER

they are not in use by other serives or programs."
Also, when I look at the alerts within SCE, here is the current alert..

Stopping sql server services while applying Service pack On SQL server 2008 and 2008 R2
Hi,
I am planning to apply service pack 3 for SQL 2008 R2 and Service pack 4 for SQL server 2008. This is my first time and I am applying first QA and DEV environment. I have one confusion. In cluster once you fail over sql resources to active node all of the
sql services including SQLSERVER and Agent are automatically stopped in passive node where we apply service pack. But in Stand alone, The services are not automatically stopped. Do I need to manually stop those services like SQLSERVER, Agent, Browser
and others if any before I start applying service pack?
Early Response is highly appreciated.
Thanks In AdvanceHello,
You don’t need to stop SQL Server services. Let SQL Server setup do it as needed.
Please read the following article for the cluster you would like to update:
