    Aw crap! They've scheduled a job for every blood Log Reader Agent!!! I'm going to need to disable those buggers, too, huh?

  • RE: Server Side Trace to a table NOT file - possible?

    I think I haven't explained clear enough.

    fn_trace_getinfo shows you the active traces that SQL knows about. It just shows traceID, status (stopped, paused, running) and file location that the trace...

    GSquared (8/14/2008)


    Nope. Didn't know about that option. MS Tech Support apparently didn't either

  • RE: Server Side Trace to a table NOT file - possible?

    Pretty much, although you can interrogate SQL as to the traces that are running.

    select * from fn_trace_getinfo(0)

    Get profiler to generate the trace creation code for you. It's easier than...

    Oh dear... I think I've found what you're talking about... it's in EM under {Replication Monitor}{Agents}{Log Reader Agents}... they've really really overdone it... there are 70 of the...

  • RE: Server Side Trace to a table NOT file - possible?

    Server-side trace is only to a file. Tracing to a table isn't recommended even from profiler GUI because it has the highest impact on the traced server of all of...

    Missing indexes is a suggestion, nothing more. The entries in there are created by the query optimiser as it optimises a single query. They may be correct, they may be...

    My gut feel is that this database is unrepairable.

    There's corruption in one of the system tables (syscomments) and that kind of damage CheckDB is not allowed to repair. In...

    Was there another line at the bottome, something like "minimum level to repair this error is..."?
