Hello,

On our new SQLServer 2016, the "Maintenance Cleanup Task" do not delete backup file.

I never had the problem with on older installation (2008R2 to 2014)

In the activity monitor, the session running this command is waiting on "MSQL_XP" .

"EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'U:\Backup\MSSQL13.SSDE\MSSQL\Backup\model\model_backup_2016_09_16_155708_9880904.bak'"

Then after 60 seconds, the task go in error :

I tried to delete a specific Maintenance plan text report, it worked fine. This problem seems to be specific for backup file, compressed or not.

I have the same problem on every other server with SQLServer 2016.

SQL Server 2014 columnstore with partitioning/indexed views bug

June 25, 2014, 11:41 pm

≫ Next: Spread one table across multiple data files

≪ Previous: SQLServer 2016 - "Maintenance clean up task" stuck - xp_delete_file problem

Hi all,

This appears to be two separate bugs in SQL Server 2014, but somewhat related. I'm running the latest cumulative update (version 12.0.2342).

Basically, I have a simple table that I partition and create a clustered columnstore index on. Then, I create an indexed view with some of the columns. The actual creation of the index fails with:

"Internal Query Processor Error: The query processor could not obtain access to a required interface."

If I reverse the order (i.e. create the indexed view on the table first, then create the columnstore index), it works fine.

Secondly, with or without partitions, if I create a clustered columnstore indexed table, then create an indexed view that contains an NVARCHAR column in the view, bulk inserts will fail with:

"SQL Server Assertion: File: <valrow.cpp>, line=415 Failed Assertion = '*((ULONG*)(pb + x_ibLengthInBuffer)) <= m_cbMaxLen'. This error may be timing-related. If the error persists after rerunning the statement, use DBCC CHECKDB to check the database for structural integrity, or restart the server to ensure in-memory data structures are not corrupted."

Of course, I have done a DBCC CHECKDB to no success.

The script to reproduce the former is below. To test the bulk insert, simply create the structure without the partitioning and then use an SSIS package or what not to try to bulk load some data.

SET NOCOUNT ON

CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION [SalesByDate](datetime2(7)) AS RANGE LEFT FOR VALUES (N'1970-01-01T00:00:00.000', N'2013-01-01T00:00:00.000', N'2014-01-01T00:00:00.000')

Spread one table across multiple data files

September 12, 2016, 1:38 pm

≫ Next: Can we create columnstore Index in index view

≪ Previous: SQL Server 2014 columnstore with partitioning/indexed views bug

Hello

Is there a way to spread the data of one table across multiple data files? As far as I know we cannot really achieve it unless we have table partitioning and place the indexes on multiple filegroups/files.

Please confirm this and let me know if there is a way to spread the data of one non-partitioned table across multiple data files.

Hi all,

I've the plan_handle of an execution plan, when I try to see the plan itself with the following query:

SELECT * FROM sys.dm_exec_query_plan(0x050008004928A14A301E412B0C00000001000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000)

Appdomain Memory messages in SQL Errorlog

Hi Experts

Need help and guidance on an on-going memory issue on an SQL 2014 SSIS server. I am not sure how to isolate things here or where to start to avoid below memory warnings in the errorlog.

Brief Problem description :
========================
We have an Datawarehouse environment wherin a lot of ssis packages run every 15 mins as a part of SQL Agent jobs which are scheduled every 15 mins/4hours depending on source system availability.
Having said that, I am seeing some memory related messages from SQL Server ERRORLOG. More importantly, I would like to know why am I seeing appdomain errors on 64-bit servers.
Based on my knowledge, usually we used to see appdomain errors on 32 bit systems when MTL (mem-to-leave) portion is less.
Could anybody please explain why we are seeing these errors and how can I avoid or minimise such errors.

SQL Database corrupted , what next ?

≫ Next: Why does a shrunken database get "blown up" when restoring from a full backup?

≪ Previous: Link Address in Stored Procedure to Send Email

HI Team,

One of our Production Server DB seems corrupted. When we tried to restore from the old backups , restored failed.

I performed DBCC CHECKDB , i get the below error.

There are 527 rows in 8 pages for object "tbl_nodes".

CHECKDB found 0 allocation errors and 0 consistency errors in database 'Tfs_BackOffice2'.

DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.

Msg 602, Level 21, State 30, Line 3

Could not find an entry for table or index with partition ID 72057597105340416 in database 11. This error can occur if a stored procedure references a dropped table, or metadata is corrupted. Drop and re-create the stored procedure, or execute DBCC CHECKDB.

Please advise.

The things we tried out till now.

1) Restoring on SQL 2014 version.

2) https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/kb/2995352 ( couldnt apply the hotfix as the fix was for different SQL Version)

≫ Next: LOG SHIPPING 'Copy' Job getting failed

≪ Previous: SQL Database corrupted , what next ?

Hi,

We create anonymized copies of our production database for test purposes. Since it contains some data not interesting during test we delete data (approx 15 GB) from a number of tables. After that the database is shrunk with the DBCC SHRINKDATABASE command and both database and log files are shrunk on disk. Finally we make a full (copy-Only) backup of that database.

The backup file is copied to a test server. Now the strange thing. When we restore from the backup file the size of the database files are set to its pre-shrunk sizes. When looking at the Files tab in the Database Properties form for the anonymized and shrunken database it reports the shrunken file sizes for both ROWS data and LOG.

Why are the database files set to their pre-shrunk sizes by the restore command? And can we change this behaviour?

We are using SQL Server 2014, version 12.0.4213.0.

Sincerely,
Mats-Ove

Using certificate and private key to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data

September 26, 2016, 8:52 am

≫ Next: Surprisingly super-fast

≪ Previous: LOG SHIPPING 'Copy' Job getting failed

Hi all,

I need to be able to encrypt and decrypt data as secure as possible, but considering also the following requirements:

- Be able to export keys/certificates in order to install them in other servers (I'm not sure if this makes sense);

- Hide details such as the private key password

This is a topic where I'm not so confortable with, I'm not sure where should I begin and how certificates and private keys relate in sql server, where to create them (I have nothing), how to relate certificate and private key, how to encrypt, how to decrypt.

So far I did this and I believe is not correct (at least decrypt returns NULL):

CREATE CERTIFICATE
  MyCertificate
  ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'MyPassword.123'
  WITH SUBJECT='My precious certificate'

CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY MyKey
WITH ALGORITHM = AES_256
ENCRYPTION BY CERTIFICATE MyCertificate

DECLARE @cipherText VARBINARY(128) = ENCRYPTBYCERT(CERT_ID('MyCertificate'), 'ABCDEFG')
DECLARE @clearText VARCHAR(128) = DECRYPTBYCERT(CERT_ID('MyCertificate'), @cipherText)
SELECT @cipherText, @clearText

I'm sorry if my topic seems not too specific, but I'm not sure what am I doing wrong here and what should I be exactly doing.

≫ Next: when does sql optimizer uses stream aggregate or hash aggregate

≪ Previous: Using certificate and private key to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data

This is really just an observation about good performance, better than hoped for.

I had a complex query that would sometimes run ten seconds, sometimes two minutes. Then it started running mostly two minutes. Looking at it, I realized I was already giving SQL Server about all the hints I could, but it was still looking at a lot of data that it didn't have to, apparently. So I did it old school, took it apart, selecting rows into #temps and using several simpler queries instead.

And now the thing just flies! I mean, I do this a lot, but this one is amazing me. I first pull about 20k rows (ranges from under 8k to over 40k, maybe 20k average) from a big table, just four or five ints and dates and bits and even better they come from an (nonclustered) index, which I guess is generally already in buffers. It then does a cross-join on these rows and puts the results, generally just a dozen or two, into another #temp, and then does some more stuff with that.

This is now running under 200ms, with correspondingly few reads, often under 100ms.

That just strikes me as crazy fast for what does after all involve pulling 20k values, persisting them to tempdb, and doing a cross-join on the unindexed temp.

So, thank you SQL Server, also thank you Intel for processor chips with big caches, because I have to figure that's a good part of what makes this run so fast.

(also, the history of this code is that it was previously written row-at-a-time cursors and would run for hours, so this is already a second rewrite ... and I just realized I could do a third and probably make it that much more efficient, it doesn't really have to be a cross-join all of the time, but we've got to be in the area of diminishing returns now, it's typically called a few times an hour with varying workloads)

This is also without benefit of memory-optimized tables or even column indexes, either of which should, in principle, help even more, if used.

when does sql optimizer uses stream aggregate or hash aggregate

≪ Previous: Surprisingly super-fast

Hi,
Just want to know when does sql optimizer uses stream aggregate or hash aggregate, as per my understanding cardinality estimation play a vital role in choosing this, so when i test using 2014 CE it chooses stream aggregate (memory highly used because of sort before stream) if i check in 2012 CE is uses hash aggregate, which is more efficient comparable to former.
even the choice doing index seek and scan is also different as different CE which is understandable..
but the choice of stream aggregate or hash aggregate is different in another server with same environment.
so just want to know how sql server chooses stream aggregate or hash aggregate based on what?

thanks

Best Regards Moug

Apply XSLT to transform XML

Hi,

I have a stored procedure that receives an XML parameter as input. The XML is stored on a table.

I'd like to, inside the SP, be able to apply some kind of transformation to the XML before storing it on the database.

For example, consider this is my input:

<Data><Items><Item ID="1" Name="Name1" SensitiveData="SensitiveData1"/><Item ID="2" Name="Name2" SensitiveData="SensitiveData2"/></Items></Data>

I'd like to apply for example some kind of XSLT that would encrypt all SensitiveData attributes by applying a function or a stored procedure, is this possible?
