SQL Server Query - To find the Active Running Transactions on SQL Server.


The below query shows the output of the transactions that are actively running on the Server.


SELECT sqltext.TEXT,
dm.session_id,
dm.status,
dm.command,
dm.cpu_time,
dm.total_elapsed_time
FROM sys.dm_exec_requests dm
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle) AS sqltext




  When we run the above query it shows the output what are the transactions that are running on the server. And it varies from time to time. As we refresh the query we will find the new query's executing on the server. This can be experienced when we run the query on the Production environment. 

The same can be implemented on the stand-alone system i..e., personal computer where we schedule some jobs with SQL Script that inserts some information and some query's to retrieved the data.

Shrinking a SQL Server Log File with Database in Always ON Availability.

Shrinking a SQL Server Log File with Database in Always ON Availability.                    Once we had a situation in our production server that the database which is in Always ON Availability group has been grown to the maximum size.  Many of them say that we can't shrink the log file as the database is in Always ON and we should take the downtime to perform the operation. But we shrink-ed the database log file to 5 GB from 180 GB. Steps are as below: --To Check the Number of pages allocated by the LogFile.

Frequently Raised Errors in Log-Shipping

1. Question : IS it possible to log ship database between SQL 2000 & SQL 2008?  Answer: No, thats impossible, In SQL 2008 transaction log architecture is changed compared to SQL 2000 and hence you won’t be able to restore tlog backups from SQL 2000 to SQL 2008 or vice versa. 2. Question:I’m getting the below error message in restoration job on secondary server, WHY? [Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)] Error 4305: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The log in this backup set begins at LSN 7000000026200001, which is too late to apply to the database. An earlier log backup that includes LSN 6000000015100001 can be restored. [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally. Answer: Was your sql server or agent restarted Y’day in either source or destination ? because the error states there is a mismatch in LSN. A particular tran log was not applied in the destination server he...
