External Connection - Storage Emulator

Hi all,

I'm trying to connect my local SQL Server database instance to the blob storage emulator as an external connection, however I'm getting a "Bad or inaccessible location specified" error. Here are the steps I'm taking:

CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '<password>';
GO

-- Create the credentials using the generic storage account key
CREATE DATABASE SCOPED CREDENTIAL localBlobStorageCredential
WITH IDENTITY = 'devstoreaccount1',
SECRET = 'Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==';
GO

-- Create the data source pointing to the blob storage location I created (blob-storage-location)
CREATE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE localBlobStorage
WITH (
    TYPE = BLOB_STORAGE,
    LOCATION = 'http://127.0.0.1:10000/devstoreaccount1/blob-storage-location',
    CREDENTIAL= localBlobStorageCredential
);
GO

-- Attempt to select a file that has been uploaded (cp.json)
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(
	BULK 'cp.json',
	SINGLE_BLOB,
	DATA_SOURCE = 'localBlobStorage'
) AS j;

I then get the following error:

Bad or inaccessible location specified in external data source "localBlobStorage".

Any ideas?

Regards,

James

Options to minimize performance impact caused by Row Level Security

Hello,

We have plans to implement Row Level Security in a table of size 1TB to control access to records. We are using
a function, security policy and a lookup table with the list of user groups to achieve this logic.
The logic seems to be working fine. However, we are observing a performance hit as the function is being called every time
for every row returned by the query. 

Please let us know if anyone of you have any recommendation/option to minimize the performance impact caused by the implementation of RLS.

Backup performance 4x slower than manual filecopy

January 24, 2019, 12:07 pm
$

Hi,

I noticed that when copying a file from a SAN volume to a network share on my Windows 2012 R2 server the speed is 400MB/s.  When SQL Server performs a backup of data from that same disk, it happens at about 100MB/s.  Running a Crystal Disk Mark benchmark of sequential read 5GB, I got 700MB/s.  Running BACKUP DATABASE MYDB TO DISK = 'NUL:', I also get 100MB/s. 

The SAN vendor reviewed the server configuration and doesn't see any issues.  This same server attached to storage from another vendor is getting near 400MB/s on backups - this is a different instance. Resource governor is not used, if that could even have an effect. The array is EMC.  Microsoft MPIO driver is being used, no special SAN software needed.

To summarize: 

  1. SQL backups are slow.
  2. SQL backup to NUL: is slow, indicating slow reads from SAN volume.
  3. Manual file copy through explorer is 4x faster.
  4. Sequential read test is 7x faster.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to improve this performance?

Thanks,

Sam

Hiding or masking sensitive information in the SQL Server audit log

I'm looking into auditing of who are accessing the data in all tables in a database. We do have the additional requirement that we in the log can't have any information that can be used to identify a person.

The first part can easily done using SQL Server audit to log all select, insert and delete statements for a specified database. It is the second part that I have problem with. The whole SQL statement including any personal information in e.g the where clause will be stored in the 'statement' column. This meaning that whoever that have access to the audit log will be able to see this information and identify the person in question. We do not need the information that are stored in the 'statement' column. The information stored in 'database_name', 'schema_name' and 'object_name' columns are enough for us.

My question is are there any way to prevent SQL Server audit to store the SQL statement at all or at least in clear text in the 'statement'column?

After installing SQL Server (2016, 2017) there is an "MS_AgentSigningCertificate.cer" file in the system database files folder (i.e., where the files for the [master] database are). I have read in several other thread that this file is used for internal processes during installation.

Can the file be safely deleted after installation is complete?

Compress backup

When I set up full backup on SQL Server 2014 Enterpriese, there is section "Set Backup Compression". If I choose "Use the default server setting", how can I make sure it will be compressed or not?

I would like to make the size of backup file as smaller as possible because the disk for backup file storage is limited in my environment, and I would like to change the configuration to compress backup. Is there any matter of concern to use compress backup? In my understanding, it will be high CPU usage, so it had better to schedule it less user access term, and it can not append to the same backup set with compress backup and non-compress backup, so I think I need to create new backup set for that. Is there any matter of concern to use compress backup file?

My most concern is how it will impact to recovery procedure with compressed backup file. Is there any difference to recover database with compressed backup file or not compressed backup file?

Any advice will be greatefully appreciated. Thank you..

Transaction log just after changing recovery mode from simple to full

Please correct me if any of my following understanding is wrong..

If I change recovery mode from simple to full on SQL Server 2014 Enterpriese, Transaction log truncation will keep automatically executing as same as simple recovery mode UNTIL the first full backup is executed since changing recovery mode from simple to Full.

After the 1st full backup, the size of transaction log will be enlarged until you execute transaction log backup which will Transaction log truncation at the same time..

Any advice will be greatefully appreciated. Thank you..

Backup file management

I would like to ask about backup configuration on SQL Server.

It is configured Weekly Full backup, and Daily Differentical & Transaction Log Backup in Full Recovery Mode on my database which is SQL Server 2014 Enterprise. There is only limited storage for backup file in my environment, so I am reviewing my backup configuration to prevent from oppression of capacity because of enlarged backup files as much as possible. Please correct me if any of my understanding below is wrong..

-If I choose "Append to the exisiting backup set" in weekly full backup configuration, all past backup will be remained in the file? For example, if the database to take a backup is 10 GB, and it is schedule to execute as weekly, it will be gaining 10 GB every week? If you need to recover your dabase, you can use all past backup weeks not only the latest but also before week(s) of the latest backup.

-If I choose "Overwrite all existing bacukp sets" in weekly full backup configuration, and if the database to take a backup is 10 GB, is the backup file remain in 10 GB? In this case only one which is the latest backup you can use to recover database.

Is there any way to delete old backup from full backup file with the "Append" configuration to make the file smaller? There is expiration set up section in backup configuration, and I am wondering if this is it. If I set it up as after 30 days, 30 days older backup will it be deleted automatically from the backup file even it is in the "Append" configured backup file?

Any advice will be greatefully appreciated it. Thank you...

I need to change my recovery model from Full to Simple on SQL Server 2014 Enterprise. This is my environment and plan to change the configuration as below. In my understanding, if I succeed to change it to simple recovery mode, it will be automatically start to transaction log truncation, and the log will not be enlarged like when it does not take transaction log backup in full recovery mode. If there is any minunderstanding of mine, please correct me.. Any advice will be greatefully appreciated. Thank you...

-----------------------------

My Environment

-SQL Server 2014 Enterprise

-Recovery Model = Full

-Full backup is scheduled in SQL Server Agent as weekly

-Differential backup is schedule in SQL Server Agent as daily

-Trunsuction log backup is schedule in SQL Server Agent as every 12 hours.

-----------------------------------

Configuration change plan from Full to Simple Recovery Model

-----------------------------------

(1) Announce users about downtime for maintenace.

(2) Execute full backup just in case.

(3) Disable those 3 SQL Server Agent jobs.

(4) Change Recovery model from Full to Simple.

Currently I am evaluating the database scope option parameter sniffing . What I under standing is it's to get rid of the parameter sniffing problem.  I am using sample database adventurework2012 for testing

CREATE PROCEDURE Get_OrderID_OrderQty
@ProductID INT
AS
 
SELECT SalesOrderDetailID, OrderQty
FROM Sales.SalesOrderDetail
WHERE ProductID = @ProductID;

When Parameter sniffing is ON

EXEC Get_OrderID_OrderQty @ProductID=897    <<<  This will give index seek

EXEC Get_OrderID_OrderQty @ProductID=870    <<<< this will give index seek

When Parameter sniffing is OFF

EXEC Get_OrderID_OrderQty @ProductID=897    <<<  This will give index scan

EXEC Get_OrderID_OrderQty @ProductID=870    <<<< this will give index scan

this is not I expect, I expect after parameter sniffing is off , 897 will be seek, and 870 will be index scan. ..
