HiToday I have below error in SQL Server Logs for many times during the day:The mirroring connection to "TCP://ServerName:PortNum" has timed out for database "DBName" after 10 seconds without a response. Check the service and network connections.Database mirroring is inactive for database 'DBName'. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.Database mirroring is active with database 'DBName' as the principal copy. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.The operating mode for mirroring is ,High safety without automatic failover(synchronous).The problem is that we have insert time out exactly at the the times that mirroring connection has timed out.Can mirroring has impact on principal database?I mean when the mirroring is inactive for a database,it just becomes disconnected or the transaction on principal server are involved?

Sync with Backup for Transactional Replication
I am curious to know if anyone has experience using the "sync with backup" option for transactional replication (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152560(v=sql.105).aspx)? We have such a small replication footprint, that I think the administrative overhead of using this feature would actually be worse than rebuilding our replication topology in the event of a disaster.Anyone else feel that way?

Backup database only if changes happen
I have SQL2008 database with some 100s of tables. Every 2 hours transaction log backup to tape is triggered. Just to save network bandwidth, i would like to backup the Trx logs only if there are changes in any of the tables. If no change from previous TLog backup, then no need to backup. Can someone please help me with a script or guide me with a solution.

SQL Agent CmdExec fails with no message
I'm having a problem running a job that calls CmdExec. The step output is just this:[quote]Date 9/15/2016 4:31:52 PMLog Job History (TheJobName)Step ID 1Server TheServerJob Name TheJobNameStep Name TheStepNameDuration 00:00:00Sql Severity 0Sql Message ID 0Operator Emailed Operator Net sent Operator Paged Retries Attempted 0MessageExecuted as user: TheSqlAgentUser. The step failed.[/quote]I know that the path is correct because if I change it, then it tells me that it can't find the file. The cmdexec looks like this:\\share\path\TheProgram.exeThe program is a console application developed in .NET. The console application runs successfully if started outside SQL Agent. This program is replacing an existing program (which was also a console application) that had been running via the same job successfully. While the program displays data to the console (data which is also logged elsewhere), it does not require any input from the console. I don't care if the console is visible. It's a long-running application, so it should leave the job in a running state, not in an immediate failure state.To add complication to this scenario, the server on which this is running was recently replaced. All software was reinstalled and the database was restored. So it's possible that any special configuration that was done to allow SQL Agent to run this job was lost. The knowledge of that configuration, if any, was lost years ago when the initial developer left.The application should be logging, but it appears the error, whatever it is, occurs before the app starts. The very first thing this application does in main is to log that it's been started.If only I had an error message to work with...Ideas?

What is the best way to use LIKE in my situation
Here is a sample query. There is a clustered index on the table consisting of SourceID, PcsAssmntDataID, QuerySetID, QueryNumberID. My question is, how best to search on PcsAssmntDataID? The % is in place of a unique number. So, I need to find all of the records that end with {A^GEN.ADMPART2}. Would using RIGHT(PcsAssmntDataID,16) be better?[code="sql"]select SourceID, PcsAssmntDataID, QueryValuefrom livefdb.dbo.PcsAssmntData_Querieswhere SourceID='BRO' and PcsAssmntDataID like '%{A^GEN.ADMPART2}' and QuerySetID=11 and QueryNumberID=16[/code]

Measuring usage prior to consolidation
Hi all,We are planning consolidation, I have a good idea of the considerations but would be grateful to read how others gathered usage stats. I'm thinking of either using a programmatically-fired Profiler trace /EE, or one of the Redgate tools. Any 'Best Practice' hints warmly welcomed!! ;) JB

MAXDOP(1) not working in Resource Governor
We are running SQLServer 2008 Enterprise. I have a SQL query that includes multiple batch numbers in the WHERE clause. When I have 16 or few batches, the optimizer selects a serial processing plan and runs in 30 seconds. When I add a 17th batch, it selects a parallel plan and jumps to 32 minutes. If I add a MAXDOP(1) hint, it runs again in 30 seconds.My issue is this: I am running the query from a 3rd party vendor, which runs against an Oracle view, that in turn runs across a database link to SQLServer views. MAXDOP cannot exist in the view definition, so I have to find an alternate method of forcing it into serial processing.After some research, I found that Resource Governor is another way to control parallel processing, and I am able to set up a workgroup by user.With SSMS, I enabled resource governor, set up a resource pool, set up a workload group, and a classifier function to route to my workgroup by user, and reconfigured it so my changes would take effect.I know that the query is being routed to the correct workload group, as I can see the assignment in activity monitor. Even though my workload group is set to MAXDOP 1, it seems to still be using a parallel plan as it runs over 30 minutes rather than 30 seconds. What is the issue? Does resource governor MAXDOP work differently than the same hint in a SQL statement? Is it not reading / utilizing the workload group setting?Thanks in advance!

Log Shipping
After performing a fail-over to my secondary database I'm a bit unsure what step(s) I should take next as the former-primary server is no longer online, but the SQL Jobs are still attempting to run on the fail-over server. Would I want to execute the sp_delete_log_shipping_secondary_primary procedure? Goal: The secondary database is now the only instance running and will not be participating in log shipping moving forwarded.

Attaching 2K12 db to 2K8 R2 not working
Hi All,I've detached a db from 2K12 and attempted to attach it to a 2K8 R2 server, I get an error that I assumed I needed to change service credentials in server and agent services to my domain credentials. I did this. The 2K12 SQL no longer recognized the 2K8 server. At this I'm considering upgrading the 2K8 to 2K12 as a remedy but as a last resort. There is another post that recommended the aforementioned steps...they didn't help me. Importing the data is virtually starting over. Anyone out there with suggestions...any help is welcome!Thanks!

Running Count based on time range
I've been beating my head against this one for a while, so any tips are very much appreciated. It really seems like it shouldn't be this hard.I have data like what is shown in the "Data:" box in the picture below, and I would like to create a query that will return something like the "Goal:" box in the picture. I want a count of the distinct ID for records who's TimeStart is before the Time but who's TimeEnd is after.I have the Time field in another table, all I can think to do is a full outer join to the other table and maybe like a case when.[img]http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Attachment19485.aspx[/img]
