Hi,
We have a SQL server 2012 instance where 11 databases are hosted. In the host 2 Intel Xeon CPU & 512 GB RAM is installed. But application team complaining slowness from database. We are suspecting high disk I/O utilization of the disks. Can anyone tell me how can we see & measure disk I/O utilization of the windows disks and how can we identify is there any anomaly in the disks?
Hello,
I am using $SMOserver PowerShell object to retrieve database information from SQL 2016, but it takes around 20 minutes; I ran the same script on SQL 2014 environment, into it, the script takes around 1 minute; I searched information about differences between SQL 2014 and SQL 2016 but, I didn’t found information to explain that behavior.
I am using Windows credential with Public role only; for sysadmin role, the script takes around 5 min.
Bellow I send the script that I am using:
$sw = [Diagnostics.Stopwatch]::StartNew()
$instance_name = 'MSSQLSERVER'
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO") | out-null
$dbs = (New-Object ('Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server') -argumentlist "$($env:computername)\$($instance_name)").Databases
if ($dbs -ne $null)
{
foreach ($data_base in $dbs)
{
$Used = 0
$Size = 0
echo "Database Name: $($data_base.Name)"
try{
if ( $data_base.LogFiles -ne $null ) {
foreach ($log in $data_base.LogFiles) {
$logUsed += $log.UsedSpace
$logSize += $log.Size
}
echo " UsedSpace: $($Used)"
echo " Size: $($Size)"
}
}catch{}
}
}
$sw.Stop()
$sw.Elapsed
Hi There,
I have an SQL Server Express on a server running windows 10. It was configured with integrated authentication only.
I have a client also running windows 10. I am using Microsoft ID (outlook.com) login for authentication. Connecting from the client to the server with SSMS was working fine until yesterday (or maybe earlier since I don't connect everyday remotely) : I get a "cannot create SSPI context error."
The issue comes from this integrated authentication as I successfully tested with SQL Server login. The outlook.com user is known on both the server and the client. Connecting with the same user using SSMS on the server works fine.
My assumption is that now, instead of sending Microsoft ID information to the server, the client sends the local "client\user" associated to my Microsoft Id, which is different from the "server\user" I found in the server connections. Still assumptions, using a Microsoft ID would be deprecated and we now have to use an Azure AD login.
Switching to AD user would mean changing my authentication on my server and all my clients, loosing al my profile info, etc. which seems a huge impact.
So I'd like to get back my authentication with Microsoft ID
Can anyone please advise?
Thank you in advance for your help

Hi,
I am using SQL Server 2012. I want to find the table and index fragmentation so that I can reclaim the fragmented space. Can anyone tell me how can I find that?
I have done in Oracle database. I want something similar like this. below is the link-
http://select-star-from.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-to-check-table-fragmentation-in.html
Dim constring = "Driver = {SQL Server Native Client 11.0}; Server= DESKTOP-8OLDD1Q;
Database = " & dsource & " ; Trusted_Connection = yes"
This connection string does not work. It triggers the error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in System.Data.dllAny comments?

I have a project in Visual Studio 2015 It uses SQL Server 2016. I have tried some connection strings but they result in an error. One of them is that the keyword "Provider" is not valid. When I remove that from the connection string, the error is that the login has failed.
This is my connection string:
Dim constring = "Server = DESKTOP-8OLDD1Q; Initial Catalog = " & dsource & "Trusted_connection = yes"
What is wrong?

We are beginning to use Windows Server 2016 as our base for servers.
But now I discover that no ODBC driver for SQL server is available for this server version.
When do Microsoft deliver an ODBC driver for x64 og x86 for Windows Server 2016?

I followed the instructions to install the ODBC 13 Driver on a RHEL 7.2 machine. They are available as a downloadable PDF file here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50420 . I also copied them below.

According to the SQL Documentation available here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh568447(v=sql.110).aspx , the sqlcmd tool is available on Linux and included in the driver package. I cracked open the RPM and sqlcmd is definitely not included.
How do I get sqlcmd on my RHEL 7.2 environment?
i got info for @@IDENTITY, SCOPE_IDENTITY() and IDENT_CURRENT and those info as follows
SELECT @@IDENTITY: it’s responsible to returns the last identity value generated for any table in the current session, across all scopes (i.e. global scope).
SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY(): It’s responsible to returns the last identity value generated for any table in the current session and the current scope(i.e. local scope).
SELECT IDENT_CURRENT(‘table_name’): It’s responsible to returns the last identity value generated for a specific table in any session and any scope (i.e. global scope).
still the difference between @@IDENTITY and SCOPE_IDENTITY() is not clear. what they try to mean global scope and local scope ?
Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to execute two different stored procedure at the same time. In that the memory usage of both of the stored procedures are different. Now suppose sp-1 has a higher memory usage than sp-2, I want to execute sp-1 first with a greater memory space and at the same time sp-2 is either executing with a less amount of memory or get suspended for some time and after when the sp-1 is completed then sp-2 will execute with it's full memory space. There may be an additional condition where suppose we have enough memory for both of the stored procedures, in that case both should be get executed. Can I do it ?
I really don't how to estimate the cost and how can I prioritize one over another.
Please help !! Thanks in Advance :)
they said as follows but Consistency is not clear what they try to means for Consistency ?
