I would like to kown how to determine which stored procedures run during a specific SQL server Job run.One major constraint is that I have extremely low bandwidth and very high DISK IO on the production box already so I am not allowed to run SQL Profiler either on my work station or on the actual server.I have information on jobs, schedules and procedures from the sysjobs, sysschedules and procedures system views respectively. I would like to know how do I relate them together.Thank you,In anticipation.Rohit

OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "XXX" returned message "The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions.".
Hi,I have two SQL Servers Server A and Server B. ServerA has SQL Server 2008 and ServerB has SQL Server 2005.I need to fetch data from server B to server A and insert it into a table on server A.For this purpose, I have created a stored proc on server B and for calling that SP I have added server B as linked server on server A.When I execute this SP from server A using server B, it returns data without any issue.However when I try to insert this data to a local table on server A, I am getting following error:OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "ServerB" returned message "The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions.".Msg 7391, Level 16, State 2, Line 12The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "ServerB" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.Note that I have not started any transaction in both the calling and called procs. I am not getting why it is trying to begin a distributed transaction. And how to resolve this issue.I am using linked server for the first time. Please help.Thanks,Garima

The semaphore timeout period has expired
Hi to all,Just moving over to a new firm I was asked to find out the reason why most of the clustered servers where prompting "SEMAPHORE TIMEOUT" every now and than so I digged in.This message occurs when using all kinds of I/O to the subsystem (which resides on the SAN).The exact error message is;[b]Executed as user: . TCP Provider: The semaphore timeout period has expired. [SQLSTATE 08S01] (Error 121) Communication link failure [SQLSTATE 08S01] (Error 121). The step failed.[/b]Hardly any info is to be found in the Internet so I need your help guys!!As far as I found out this is an OS error which is written in the SQL server 2005 logs just before losing contact with one of the parts of the subsystems. This can be Hardware response timeout or an Autodetect setting on cluster network interface card. Others say this could be a Memory issue on windows 2003 SP1 cluster node with sql 2005 Ent. 64 bits SP1 or this is a bug/failure to properly release the cached memory. . . . .Who delt with this issue before and /or can help me out on this?Regards,GKramerThe Netherlands

Default Index Fill Factor
So me and my counter part (him being around this game much longer than I) have noticed and read in BOL that the system default for a server's index fill factor is 0 which is fine. We now know we need to change this when creating a new server. But both him and I remember hearing and reading and even being taught in classes that the default index fill factor is 80%. I am wondering if this changed at some point in time and we missed it? I know that a lot of people recommend a default of around 80% depending on table usage. but we know have a lot of indexes that have a fill factor of 0 going back almost 10 years because it was thought that the default was 80% not 100%. We looked at BOL and it says that 0 is 100 going back to SQL Server 2000. We cannot remember the material that we read and learned this from (it has been a while). Anyone in the same boat as us?

Failed DBMail actually sending
Hi All, this is my first post here, so please excuse if I missed a topic about this issue (I did search but couldn't find any).I have a very weird issue, I use DBMail to send mail via various sp's every morning. Sometimes some of them fails and then I have to resend them manually.So I wrote a script to show me what failed in order to resend, but then I discovered that even though it shows up in my msdb as "failed" it actually did send.Why will this happen ?I use SQL 2005 on Windows 2003 R2 SP2Thanks

Cumulative Updates and Security Patches
Hello FolksI have a requirement to apply the latest patches to our SQL Server environments, from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2014. I have a doubt regarding SQL Server 2005, the latest service pack is SP4, followed by CU3, but there are also several fixes and security patches after CU3, my question is, do I need to install SP4, then CU3 and finally the latest fix/security patch? or just SP4 and then latest fix/ security patch? :doze:Thank you for your help!

SQL server slowdown by increasing processors?
Hello,We have been having problems with some of our reports timing out. looking at utilization we saw high CPU utilization, so we increased the number of processors. Although the reports are running fine now, they are running about 30% of the speed we were running previously. We also tried increasing cores instead with the same results. CPU utilization is about 50% other stats don't seem out of line. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.Regards,Aaron

Creating a Check Constraint
Hello. I am obviously very new to SQL Server 2005 Express. I am an Access developer and I am giving a try to SQL Server Express. Maybe my question will be answered faster this way 8)I am going through a book (... In 24 Hours series) and every time I try to complete a simple exercise about creating a (seems like a) Check Constraint I get an error. Here's what I am doing:The field is [b]State[/b]: Char (2) and we want to apply the constraint where only the following values are accepted: CA, UT, AZ WY, and a few others.My steps:I click the selected to the left of the [b]State [/b]field and click [b]Manage Check Constraints[/b].In the Check Constraint dialog I click [b]Add [/b]and the constraint CK_Table_1* appears. The name is simply CK_Table_1.I name the constraint ckState (like in the book)In the [b]Expression [/b]I type @State In('CA', 'UT', 'AZ', 'WY') and as soon as I hit Enter a message appears that there is an error in the constraint and ask me if I want to Edit it.I am at loss here because this matches the screen shot in the book.Can anyone help?I hope I provided enough information.

Quick question about databases integrity errors
This is regarding a database for the company I used to work for.They had a power outage over the weekend and when they brought SQL Server back up the most important database was throwing this error, The operating system returned error 21(The device is not ready.) to SQL Server during a read at offset <some memory address> in file <db file>And it advised to run DBCC CHECKDB(), well we couldn't even get into the DB to run that as it would just return the above error. So I restarted the SQL Service and I was able to get in and run CHECKDB(), they were also able to restart the applications that connected to the DB and those worked. However CHECKDB() returned some errors advising me to run UPDATEUSAGE(). After running that I ran CHECKDB() and everything cleared up.Just wondering what happened and if it might be a problem? Fortunately this is no longer my DB :-)

The client was unable to reuse a session with SPID XX, which had been reset for connection pooling.
Hi Guys,Need your help! We are receiving the below errors more frequently now. When ever we get this error, application gets timeout errors of Server not responding (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired.
