Maintenance query: (Ola script)

Hello,

I have a couple of virtual machines in Azure that run SQL.  Recently I noticed that Managed Backups were not being performed.  I would like to be alerted that a Managed Backup has failed to run.  I am wondering if anyone knows of an Event ID either from any of the following that indicates that a backup failed:

• VM Application Log
• VM System Log
• Azure Log Analytics (OMS)
• Some other location

If I know an Event ID then I can take the appropriate steps to setup notifications and remediation.

Thank you for any help you might be able to provide,

Matt

When Resource Governor is disabled - all fine.

What could be the problem?

Hi guys, 

I have a db which is in restoring state, the restore started 20 hours ago. Usually the restore takes only one hour. If I run 

select * FROM sys.dm_exec_requests r CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(r.sql_handle) a 

I retrieve nothing. I guess that is something to do with the space allocation r with the auto-growth but I can access the db to check the setting.

Question 1: In order to stop the restore shall I stop SQL? Delete the db and restore it again?

Question 2: Is there a way to check the percentage restored (if there is any)?

Many Thanks

We have an installation of SQL Server CTP 2.2, "Evaluation", it has expired and the SQL service has stopped. We want to move to a production version of SQL server 2019 but it is not available yet, as far I know. We have tried to upgrade from Evaluation to Developer to get the SQL service back in run, but without any luck. The actual upgrade process went well, but the version is still Evaluation and SQL service cannot be started. What can we do to get the SQL server up and running again?

Thanks 

Hi,

Whenever we run index mainteance job, it using max worker thead, because this SQL server is unresponse.

Is there any way we can put condition in SQL job to not use more that specified Thread? The job should stop if it reaches number of thread.

This SQL Server 2016 SP2 (Enterprise Edition)

Hi Experts,

Need some background on this. I see some very big history tables in our database (like eg of 20 GB..)
For example, there is one history table is taking up to 26 GB in the database and still growing.
Spoke to development team to see if they can archive some records. So, they have deleted some rows but the table size remains the same. What is the reason behind it? and is there a way to reclaim free space of an object. Apart from shrink file is there anything we can do to release free space at object level?

Rows before deletion =17646067
Rows after deletion  =4201104

Hello,

I just discovered the msdb.dbo.backupset table after reading Alejandro Cobar's article on viewing database growth.  I was excited to have an easy tool for viewing growth over time.  When I viewed entries in the table, we only data as of a date around a server restart or SQL Service restart.

I've found no documentation as to whether data in that table is lost after a server or service restart.  Is the data truncated or is it possible there is some setting that controls data in this table based on a retention policy.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

Can someone please point me to the link to download and install offline SQL server V17 EE evaluation version

For a security reason our server did not have any insternet connections

Best regards

Users cannot access the database when they are running Code since CPU usage is high (75%). But looking at the Resource Monitor sqlserver.exe usage is high and one of the datafile Name.mdf is reading 111,674,191 B/Sec). When I restart the server the same Name.mdf file reads 27,070,503 B/Sec. Not sure, how to resolve this issue? Please share your thoughts. It is a 2012R2 server.

Hi experts,

I manage a sql server instance with hundreds of SPs/functions, with almost no comments/documentation. Even the names of the SPs/functions aren't really descriptive.

I wanted to go to each SP/function and document it.

Is there a formal classification of SPs/function? I wanted to divide them in "classes" like ( yes,no), for like:

• returns results.
  
• update/delete/insert data.
• input parameters.

I also thought of describing which tables the SP/function touches, and briefly stating what the it does... What is the standard documentation? is there one?

Hi we run std 2017. we are looking at some distributed scheduling software that would probably plumb to sql agent.

We already understand the pros of cons of simply scheduling sql agent vs using a scheduling tool.

The scheduling software interfaces with just about everything including windows.  what middleware should we plan on leveraging to allow the scheduling software to interface with sql agent?  OSSQL?  I'm assuming this scheduling software employs clients on machines like our sql server.  If it matters, our agents do various things including running ssis pkgs from both the catalog and file system but I don't think this is really an ssis question.

Can telnet from the server to Port 25, Only one profile exists, other mail related settings look complete.

Is there any default password for Basic Authentication? I do not know the password. AV is not an issue since other server can send email.
