  • RE: Odd SQL issue - locked up server

    K. Brian Kelley (10/4/2007)


    It was worth a shot. Running a server side trace is likely to kill you... I have seen that issue when someone was doing a trace, too,...

  • RE: Time out occurred while waiting for buffer latch

    If you can, run the SQLIOSim (of SQLIOStress, can't remember the name) and see what it tells you about the drives.

    It's a stress test tool for drives that simulated the...

    I've also seen it in those circumstances, but it's fairly unlikely here. 11pm is the beginning of the overnight process run, and there should be no more than 30-50 connections...

  • RE: how to pass a parameter to stored procedure of text more than 40000 characters of all type

    If you're working on SQL 2000, please rather post in the SQL 2000 forums. If you post in SQL 2005 forums, people will offer 2005-specific solutions.

    I'm not understanding your problem....

  • RE: Time out occurred while waiting for buffer latch

    In my experience, buffer latch timeouts are often IO related. You may want to check you drive's performance if you get these more than once or twice.

  • RE: how to pass a parameter to stored procedure of text more than 40000 characters of all type

    Since you're working with SQL 2005 (or I assume so, based on the forum) don't use text. It's deprecated. Rather use the varchar(max) datatype.

    Also, what you're doing is very strange....

    One thing that is odd though, is that there is another table which has the exact same structure and atrributes as the table I used in this example...

    GilaMonster, I cannot use convering index because next_id and status are only used for finding records, but to display what I've found I need all fields.
