Log filling with "Starting up database xxxxxxx"

September 23, 2013, 1:03 pm

I am running 2008 R2 on Windows Server 8 64 bit configured with 4096gig.  sqlservr.exe is currently using 2.85 gig according to Task Manager.

I recently restored 7 small vendor databases (2005) to our instance and all seemed well.  But for some reason the log is now filling up with "Starting up database xxxxxxx" where "xxxxxxx" round-robins between the 7 databases.  I am also getting "There is insufficient system memory in resource pool 'internal' to run this query."  It is like there is not enough memory to complete tasks so the system just keep trying in a loop.  This is not a heavily used server.

Any ideas?

Should I re-boot???

Test Database Configuration

Firstly, I understand this is probably not the most appropriate forum for this question.  I have tried a couple other places with no luck, and you guys are quick, so maybe I'll get an answer here.  If you are a mod, and know where this *should* be, feel free to move it.

Where I work, we currently have something that resembles a test/development "environment" (we have a dev server where our working directories are, and it theoretically has a test database for our main application).  As part of some upgrades we are doing, I am wanting to change this so we do local development (keep our working directories on our PC's instead of on the network, which is terribly slow and requires that we run our VisualStudio through Citrix).

Anyway, my question is, in a distributed environment (12 sites, each with their own database server), what is the best way to set up a test/dev environment?  Our WAN can't really handle the traffic, so if we put a test database on each production server (which is my initial suggestion to my perceived problem), I need to be able to convince my boss that we will be able to easily modify the databases to keep the schemas synced.  Additionally, by moving our working folders locally, I need to convince him that there will not be any untoward consequences (I happen to know that it can be done, since this is the first job I've had that was set up in this manner).

So, any personal advice you guys have, or links you can give me would be greatly appreciated.  If you need more information, let me know.

Hello my friends.

I trying use EXEC('') AT LinkedServer statement.

The command executes sucessfully on my remote server, and return my data normarly...

The problem was when add the "SET FMTONLY ON" command.  When i do this, the exec seems don't works. If i put a linked server that not exists, the EXEC() AT run sucessfully. If a put a query inside EXEC with incorrect syntax, the command also runs sucessfully.

I need this because i have a solution that works (SQL 2005 + Win Server 2003).I need that command works under FMTONLY ON.

Someone knows what may happens?

Thanks!!!

RAID Storage

Hi,

I have been reading about recommended SQL Server storage and RAID 5 or RAID 10 controllers have been recommended.

On my existing Database server I can see 4 Storage controllers under Device Manager.

They are listed as...

LSI Adaper (*2)
VMWare PVSCSI Controller (*2)

Are these an alternative to RAID? Or should I be using RAID for SQL Server?

Thanks!

RBS on SQL 2012

Hi,

we are looking for a way to store users file on remote storage and have it all indexed in SQL using filestream.

The first option that we've tried is to use filestream with file table, however, the problem is that file table can only export UNC and not use existing UNC that is shared from other servers.

So I've come to read about RBS.

The question is if RBS can solve this issue, so I can store the users file on remote UNC and have it indexed in SQL, or is this feature is limited only to Sharepoint?

Thank you in advance

Choosing an account to run a job under - only needs access to the resources it involves?

SQL 2005

I want to setup a new SQL login to assign to a job under, instead of using the SQL agent account.  The job will execute a file-based SSIS package and the package will make connections to 2 different databases, each on different servers.  There are a handful of tables involved.

So, the access needed will be:

- Access to the SSIS package files in a specific folder

- Insert and delete permissions on tables on destination database

- Select permissions on the source database

Can I execute a package using something other than the SQL Agent account?  There doesnt seem to be an option for this, only the Agent account is available.

max server memory - not working??

Hi,

I have a production server that has been having weird slowdowns. I suspect memory.

I have set the 'max server memory' setting to use 6 gig (of 10).

But when I check the memory usage in task manager I get -

Physical memory
total   10239
cached 629
available 879
free 285

using a total of 8.95 gig ! When I check it is the SQL server service using 7,045,508k

What the heck? I thought max server memory @ 6 gig meant SQL would only use 6 gig?

Question regarding SQL Server, Disks and Partitioning....

November 14, 2013, 11:15 am
$

Folks, I have a few basic questions regarding the benefits of partitioning on the same drive.  I've ready articles that say there is a benefit, and I've ready articles that say there isn't a benefit.  Let's say I have a very large Drive E that I setup 4 filegroups on and spread 4 very large tables on each filegroup.  I have another Drive F that I'll setup 4 filegroups on and spread the table indexes across each filegroup.

For data loading, or retrieval will I see a benefit vs putting all tables in one filegroup on Drive E, and all indexes in one filegroup on Drive F.  I've read articles that said I'll see a benefit even if I spread the tables across filegroups on the same drive because SQL Server will detect the partitioning and spawn multiple threads.

Can someone describe their experiences with partitioning on the same drive, or even if you've used multiple drives?  I know using a SAN would add another factor to this equation, but in this exercise assume Drives E, and F are very large physical drives.

So, I guess my questions is, will SQL Server perform data retrieval using parallelism (thus a benefit) if I'm hitting the same drive with multiple filegroups vs. the same drive with one filegroup.

Any pointers would be helpful.

Much thanks all,

Roz

SQL Server 2012 ENT Core licenses

Hi,

With SQL Server 2012, Microsoft does no longer offer Server+CAL licensing for the Enterprise edition.
Instead the use the "per core" model.
The "per core" model is quite straigthforward. However, i still have a queation that stays unanswered.

We are using a server that has 1 cpu with 6 cores. So, following the guidelines we should pay for the 6 cores that are in the server. But what needs to be licensed when you limit the SQL Server instance to use only 4 cores (processor affinity)? Do you still pay for the 6 cores? Going any lower than 4 cores doesn't work. The minimum number of core to be payed  for is 4 (for ENT).

greetings,
