Fixed memory size on MSDE

I would like to limit memory (RAM) usage for MSDE.
Since there is no Enterprise manager - is there another way how to do it?
(-> SQL command?!)
Thank You

Fixed Database Roles have Disappeared From Enterprise Manager:Security:Server Roles

I'm afraid the answer to this question will fall into the "disaster
recovery" area...one in which I am woefully lacking.
OK, here goes. We have 3 SQL2000 Servers; one for development; one for QA;
and one for production. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the Fixed
Server Roles on the QA machine had suddenly disappeared. Everything seemed
to be performing ok, so I didn't give it much thought at the time...oops!
Now I am noticing that scheduled jobs have started failing on that machine
and I'm not sure why. (Side question: where exactly does one find the SQL
Server Logs that failures are supposedly written to?)
Where would these roles have gone to? Why would they have gone there? How
do I get them back? (I'm REALLY hoping the answer isn't: wipe the drive and
reinstall SQL Server......while this isn't the production server - Thank
all that is holy! - the database backups on it have been failing...)
When I run sp_helprole I get:
public 0 0
db_owner 16384 0
db_accessadmin 16385 0
db_securityadmin 16386 0
db_ddladmin 16387 0
db_backupoperator 16389 0
db_datareader 16390 0
db_datawriter 16391 0
db_denydatareader 16392 0
db_denydatawriter 16393 0
When I run sp_helpdbfixedrole I get nothing on the grid and on the messages
tab I get:
(0 row(s) affected)
...when I run sp_helpdbfixedrole on another server I get:
db_accessadmin DB Access Administrators
db_backupoperator DB Backup Operator
db_datareader DB Data Reader
db_datawriter DB Data Writer
db_ddladmin DB DDL Administrators
db_denydatareader DB Deny Data Reader
db_denydatawriter DB Deny Data Writer
db_owner DB Owners
db_securityadmin DB Security Administrators
when I run sp_helprolemember, I only get: db_owner dbo 0x01
when I run sp_helpdb, the db_size column for each database on this server is
null...
TIA,

Please ignore the side question...I found them, but they don't seem to have
anything to do with this problem...
Rox|||So what roles seemed to have disappeared? You say that the
fixed server roles disappeared but you are indicating issues
with and running stored procedures to look at the fixed
database roles?
What are the details for the errors on the jobs that are
failing? What are the error details for the backups that are
failing?
Have you run DBCCs on the databases?

The fixed roles don't show up in Enterprise Manager or using
sp_helpdbfixedrole. The scheduled DTSs that have failed say that Admin
doesn't have permissions. I managed to backup the most important DBs
manually (assuming that they are indeed good...I haven't tried restoring
them yet.

> Have you run DBCCs on the databases?
I've run DBCC CheckDatabase on all of the databases (including Master) with
no errors found.
Any ideas that you have would be appreciated.

I guess the next step really is contacting Microsoft...or re-installing SQL

Microsoft docs. It's mentioned in some articles and books -
you can find some information in this article:
http://www.winnetmag.com/SQLServer/.../8415/8415.html
and this FAQ post:
http://www.mssqlserver.com/faq/general-sptvalues.asp
I can't remember off the top of my head which books have
more information on it. I'd check those by Kalen Delaney and
Ken Henderson as they'd be most likely to have info on the
table.
But It's essentially just a large lookup table used by SQL
Server functions, stored procedures, etc. With no rows in
the table, you are a bit hosed.
You could do a restore from when you had data in the table.

|||I don't think spt_values is officially documented in any
Microsoft docs. It's mentioned in some articles and books -
you can find some information in this article:
http://www.winnetmag.com/SQLServer/A...8415/8415.html
and this FAQ post:
http://www.mssqlserver.com/faq/general-sptvalues.asp
I can't remember off the top of my head which books have
more information on it. I'd check those by Kalen Delaney and
Ken Henderson as they'd be most likely to have info on the
table.
But It's essentially just a large lookup table used by SQL
Server functions, stored procedures, etc. With no rows in
the table, you are a bit hosed.
You could do a restore from when you had data in the table.

Fixed Database Roles have Disappeared From Enterprise Manager:Security:Server Roles

I'm afraid the answer to this question will fall into the "disaster
recovery" area...one in which I am woefully lacking.
OK, here goes. We have 3 SQL2000 Servers; one for development; one for QA;
and one for production. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the Fixed
Server Roles on the QA machine had suddenly disappeared. Everything seemed
to be performing ok, so I didn't give it much thought at the time...oops!
Now I am noticing that scheduled jobs have started failing on that machine
and I'm not sure why. (Side question: where exactly does one find the SQL
Server Logs that failures are supposedly written to?)
Where would these roles have gone to? Why would they have gone there? How
do I get them back? (I'm REALLY hoping the answer isn't: wipe the drive and
reinstall SQL Server......while this isn't the production server - Thank
all that is holy! - the database backups on it have been failing...)
When I run sp_helprole I get:
public 0 0
db_owner 16384 0
db_accessadmin 16385 0
db_securityadmin 16386 0
db_ddladmin 16387 0
db_backupoperator 16389 0
db_datareader 16390 0
db_datawriter 16391 0
db_denydatareader 16392 0
db_denydatawriter 16393 0
When I run sp_helpdbfixedrole I get nothing on the grid and on the messages
tab I get:
(0 row(s) affected)
...when I run sp_helpdbfixedrole on another server I get:
db_accessadmin DB Access Administrators
db_backupoperator DB Backup Operator
db_datareader DB Data Reader
db_datawriter DB Data Writer
db_ddladmin DB DDL Administrators
db_denydatareader DB Deny Data Reader
db_denydatawriter DB Deny Data Writer
db_owner DB Owners
db_securityadmin DB Security Administrators
when I run sp_helprolemember, I only get: db_owner dbo 0x01
when I run sp_helpdb, the db_size column for each database on this server is
null...
TIA,

Please ignore the side question...I found them, but they don't seem to have
anything to do with this problem...
Rox|||So what roles seemed to have disappeared? You say that the
fixed server roles disappeared but you are indicating issues
with and running stored procedures to look at the fixed
database roles?
What are the details for the errors on the jobs that are
failing? What are the error details for the backups that are
failing?
Have you run DBCCs on the databases?

The fixed roles don't show up in Enterprise Manager or using
sp_helpdbfixedrole. The scheduled DTSs that have failed say that Admin
doesn't have permissions. I managed to backup the most important DBs
manually (assuming that they are indeed good...I haven't tried restoring
them yet.

I've run DBCC CheckDatabase on all of the databases (including Master) with
no errors found.
Any ideas that you have would be appreciated.

I guess the next step really is contacting Microsoft...or re-installing SQL

OK, I'm looking closer at master.dbo.spt_values...which is empty on that
server. The production server has lots of stuff in it...I don't think I
dare even look in this table on the production server...lol
So what is supposed to be in the spt_values table? Should I look in any
backups I have of Master to see if I can locate a time when this table
actually had values and try to restore them? Or will doing that bring the
server crashing to its knees? I've been looking in all of my SQL books
(haven't tried the web yet) and can't find anything about this table...can
you point me in the direction of more info?
Thanks,
Rox

Microsoft docs. It's mentioned in some articles and books -
you can find some information in this article:
http://www.winnetmag.com/SQLServer/Article/ArticleID/8415/8415.html
and this FAQ post:
http://www.mssqlserver.com/faq/general-sptvalues.asp
I can't remember off the top of my head which books have
more information on it. I'd check those by Kalen Delaney and
Ken Henderson as they'd be most likely to have info on the
table.
But It's essentially just a large lookup table used by SQL
Server functions, stored procedures, etc. With no rows in
the table, you are a bit hosed.
You could do a restore from when you had data in the table.

first setup

I setup yesterday sql server 2008 on VPC for studio Orcas. Everything was smooth, however when I finished setup I did not see familiar enterprise management studio which allows to manage database files. what I can do?

Did you install management studio? During install there's a question about components you wish to install, you have to mark "Workstation components, Books Online and development tools". If you click the "Advanced" button you'll see that Management Studio is located in Client Components -> Management Tools branch.

Actually, I had a similar problem. After full install (including workstation components) Management Studio wasn't in my program list, no idea why. I started the setup program again, chose to install workstation components again and now it works perfectly.

|||i did exactly as you wrote. I nade setup twice. And third time it did not allow me to pass by because everything is installed. However the only thing that I have installed is configuration tools.|||

I'm running into a similar problem. I had SQL Server 2005 w/ SQL Server Manager loaded on XP SP2. I uninstalled SQL Server 2005, and loaded SQL Server 2008. However the SQL Server Mgr application didn't load. I attempted to reinstall SQL Server 2008, but it says they're no components that have changed...which indicates that the SQL Server 2008 Manager must be loaded already (but I don't see it)?

Firewall Problem

I have opened port 1433 on my firewall, but I am still not able to get
remote clients to connect via query analyser, or enterprise manager.
Are there other ports required to be opened ?Have you checked your remote clients to make sure TCP/IP sockets is the
default protocol? You may have to go SQL Client Network Utility or run
through a SQL Server ODBC System DSN (Control Panel | ODBC Data Sources) and
verify that on the user login credential page that the Client Configuration
that it says TCP/IP sockets.
I did look in SQL Server books online in the Network Libraries topic, and
read this
SQL Server uses UDP port 1434 to establish connections from SQL Server 2000
clients. This socket number is also reserved for SQL Server by Internet
Assigned Number Authority (IANA).

Firewall Port 1443

I installed SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Trial. I am trying to connect to my Remote database. In Enterprise Manager it won't resolve listing the server and it's tables. I can register and get a connection though. My host said that if I am behind the firewal

firehouse mode

SYMPTOMS
If you attempt to make changes to a row in a table
displayed in SQL Server Enterprise Manager (SEM), unless
you scroll down to the end of the table (the last row of
the table), Enterprise Manager returns the following
error:
Cannot start transaction while in firehose mode.
CAUSE
When using SEM to display the rows from a table, all rows
are returned by a "firehose cursor"; however, only the
rows that are displayed have been processed. A "firehose
cursor" refers to how the server sends rows to the client
as fast as the client can process them. Rows that are not
displayed in the Enterprise Manager are not processed and,
therefore, they remain in the network buffer.
The "Cannot start transaction while in firehose mode"
error occurs when an OLE-DB provider attempts to perform a
join transaction with results pending and while not in an
updateable cursor mode.
WORKAROUND
Scroll all the way down to the last row of the table. This
forces all the rows to be processed. You can then edit the
row needed and execute the update.

Firehose mode

Hi
I'm in Enterprise Manager and have made a change to a row.
When I try to update I get a message that says:
Transaction cannot start, Firehose mode"

Can anyone explain what this is and what it means ?

Thanks

It means that you should open a Query Analyzer window and write an UPDATE
statement.

My guess is that EM has at this point not yet retrieved all rows, and
since the result set is still open, the connection does not permit a
new operation to be initiated. Note that this has more implications
than just not being able to update the row. It also means that SQL
Server needs to keep the untrieved rows locked.

I don't know exactly what it means. But I usualay solve this problem opening
not whole table but only e.q. TOP 10

br
Bober|||Erland,

Doesn't FIREHOSE mode mean that EM has read the records in a "forward only
cursor" and has no means of updating? Hence the name "firehouse" which is a
rapid stream of data only going 1 way.

My guess is that EM has at this point not yet retrieved all rows, and
since the result set is still open, the connection does not permit a
new operation to be initiated. Note that this has more implications
than just not being able to update the row. It also means that SQL
Server needs to keep the untrieved rows locked.
