Sql server A, Sql server B, oracle database server  C

Now,

SQL server B load data from oracle database server C to sql server B's database BB, using store procedure Load_oracle

On SQL server A,

I create link server to connect SQL server B. Then run following T-sql to load from oracle database server C to sql server B's database BB

I use following t-sql on sql server A

DECLARE @RunStoredProcSQL VARCHAR(1000);
SET @RunStoredProcSQL = 'EXEC [B].[dbo].[Load_oracle]';
EXEC (@RunStoredProcSQL) AT [B];

It is successful. Takes 5 minutes to complete store procedure Load_oracle running on sql server B.I execute sql server query window under SSMS: paste those coding and execute

However, after I createed a job under sql server agent on server A, here is screenshot. 



I ran the job on Server A

I get failure message:

Executed as user: domain\user. Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server "xxxx"(oracle server name). [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7302).  The step failed.

I checked providers under linked server: no OraOlEDB.oracle .

What's the problem? and how to fix it? It is successful under sql server query windows under sql server management studio?-- I past the code and run. But fail when I run these code though sql server agent job. Why?

Application team is facing intermittent connectivity issues to the database, they are facing below error, after multiple tries they are able to connect to the database.

Databases servers are configured with 3 node AlwaysON.

Application Servers are on Azure. 

Could anyone help what could be the issue ?

Error:

Hi All,

I am trying to access data in my azure cosmosdb  using SQL Server PolyBase (cosmosdb was created using "Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB API) 

I am able to connect and access documents using mongo shell. However when trying to create external table, getting below error.

Searched  though PolyBase logs and could not find any useful information which can help troubleshoot the issue.

Hence posting it here.

SQL Server version : Microsoft SQL Server 2019 (RTM-CU4) (KB4548597) 

Hello Experts,

SQL server is in windows cluster 2012 and it is in VM ware. Some times this server is going hung state and it is fail over to another node with out showing any error message. 

And there was no activity in background to at least to assume there is something. 

But last time i heard that it is because of Vmotion and holding sql server log files and trying to move to another vm node.  But this time there is no error message but sql went to stopped state. 

Is there any method to capture the information why sql server and windows server is going to hung state? 

This is the large error message i found it before it went to stopped state.

Cluster resource 'SQL Server' of type 'SQL Server' in clustered role 'SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)' failed.

Based on the failure policies for the resource and role, the cluster service may try to bring the resource online on this node or move the group to another node of the cluster and then restart it. Check the resource and group state using Failover Cluster Manager or the Get-ClusterResource Windows PowerShell cmdlet.

All,

I have to come up with a comparison for SQLServer 2019 BDC. What other softwares can it be compared with (both Vendor based and OpenSource)?

Thanks,

gopi

Hi All.

I have several sql server instances running SQL Server 2016, sp2

Microsoft SQL Server 2016 (SP2-GDR) (KB4532097) - 13.0.5102.14 (X64)   Dec 31 2019 22:39:35   Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation  Enterprise Edition: Core-based Licensing (64-bit) on Windows Server 2016 Standard 10.0<X64> (Build 14393: ) (Hypervisor)

I have configured SQL Server Database mail but my mail is not sending to recipient.

As per some blogs there were mail issues with SP1 where it should have .NET 3.5 framework should installed but mine is SP2 and it has all the same sign like SP1 mail issue.

When I launch DatabaseMail.exe in binn folder I see this error 

The following feature couldnt be installed

.NET Framework 3.5 (Include .NET 2.0 and 3.0)

As per this workaround 

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/3186435/sql-server-2016-database-mail-doesn-t-work-when-net-framework-3-5

I opted for Workaround 1 and placed the DatabaseMail.exe.config to same bill folder and now when I launch DatabaseMail.exe Its is opening a black console window, I think that was expectation so I thought now my mail issue is gone but then I still have the issue.

Though the .NET 3.5 Framework issues was related to SP1 but I have the same symptom where as I have SP2.

Help me to get rid this issue.. There are few constraint though .. 

I can not ask for install .NET 3.5 framework as I didn't fine any blog where it is saying the issue could be with SP2 also.

I can not ask for repair SQL Server.

hi we run 2014 standard.  does anybody know what this error means? its definitely related to a computed column i just added over which a non clustered unique index was built.  the computed column is called RVcast which is simply a cast of another recently added rowversion column into bigint.

---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: INSERT failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'QUOTED_IDENTIFIER'. Verify that SET options are correct for use with indexed views and/or indexes on computed columns and/or filtered indexes and/or query notifications and/or XML data type methods and/or spatial index operations.

Hi gurus,

My environment is sql server 2016 EE with 64GB memory and I have one and only one 500GB OLTP database with both data and log files on SSD drives already.

If I add an additional SSD drive (same performance as the existing SSD drives for the db data/log files) and use it for BPE feature, will it improve sql server performance?

At first thought, it seems no benefit as this new SSD is the same as the existing SSD drives.

But my argument is with BPE enabled, this new SSD drives will at least serve two purposes:

1. It may reduce the dirty page flushing frequency. With a very small BP, the flushing frequency should be higher than that with a bigger BP

2. It actually increases the I/O bandwidth for the whole database because otherwise (i.e. without BPE and the regular memory BP is already full),  sql server will go to database data drive to read data, and this in theory can compete with other database transactions for I/O bandwidth.

Does anyone have any comments on whether my argument is valid?

Thanks in advance for your help.

hi we run 2014 std.  we re going thru an exercise of introducing an index o a computed column.

we already saw and probably repaired issues related to quoted identifier being off.

now we get the error you see below after changing ansi_nulls to "on" from "off" on a proc...the offending statement that probably always worked fine when it was ff looked something like this...@file_xml is data type xml...i didnt see anything in the article i read on ansi_nulls about xml, but thats just one article and perhaps about a newer version of sql...

WHERE some_ID = ISNULL(@some_ID,some_ID) AND

                FILE_NAME = ISNULL(@FILE_NAME,FILE_NAME) AND

               FILE_XML = @FILE_XML AND

Msg 305, Level 16, State 1, Procedure mygeneratedproc, Line 1480

The XML data type cannot be compared or sorted, except when using the IS NULL operator.

--Now lets run these functions using a simple table:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS dbo.Function_calling_function

CREATE TABLE dbo.Function_calling_function (
	ID int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
	CompanyName varchar(300)
)

INSERT INTO dbo.Function_calling_function (CompanyName)
VALUES ('Microsoft software LMTD'),('Amazon shopping [.com] limited'),('Gillette, shaving foam limited'),('Facebook.com'),('New Zealand company inc'),('Xero'),('Some [],; Company')

--Try selecting everything, works a-ok
SELECT * FROM dbo.Function_calling_function

--Try non nested scalar function, works a-ok
SELECT *, [dbo].[fn_remove_nonstandard_characters](CompanyName) FROM dbo.Function_calling_function

--Try nested scalar function, seems to never end
SELECT *, [dbo].[fn_pack_legal_name](CompanyName,200) as CheckNestedFunc FROM dbo.Function_calling_function

Is it common / best practise on installing Instance Root on different drive ?

Der Aufruf von sp_send_dbmail mit einer Query funktioniert im SQL-Server Management Studio.

Der gleiche Aufruf in einem Schritt eines SQL-Agent-Auftrages bringt die Fehlermeldung

. Fehler bei der Initialisierung von sqlcmd-Bibliothek. Fehlernummer: -2147467259. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Fehler 22050)

Ein Aufruf dagegen ohne Query von sp_send_dbmail im SQL-Agent funktioniert.

Dem SQL-Agent sind Mailkonto und -profil zugewiesen.

Was fehlt

I have an application that must support some holdouts still on SQL Server 2012, pre-2016 so I cannot use the SQL Server 2016 native function STRING_SPLIT function. Furthermore, I need to implement a 2 char delimiter as well

For this, I am using an in-line function derivative of : http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql-2000.html#tblnum

The function works fine in most circumstances except one in which the input array list is nvarchar(max) and the delimiter is 2 char, and there is a where clause on the function

this reproduces on

what's the difference between the output of query when SET STATISTICS XML ON 

or 

In ssms enable "actual query plan "?

Hello All,

We have a SQL Production box , i am observing 00:00 AM daily the PLE automatic goes near about 5 and lazy writer occurs during that time. and when the lazy writer occurs it slows all the query for some time. i have checked and found some delete queries are schedule to delete the records from live table and it scheduled at 00:00, i thought that delete query may be the culprit and i have delayed in the schedule to 10 min but still PLE again reached between 0 to 10 at same time , could you please help me to solve the issue? Let me know if you require anything to check the issue.
