SQL Server Error 7202 Could not find server

Jabeam — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 14:12:17 +0000

Hi all,
I am currently running into the following error when run a stored procedure with BEGIN TRANS:

”Could not find server ‘VS-DEVELOPERDEVELOPER_SQL’ in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers.”

The server shown above is the a local sql server instance that is running the stored procedure and therefore shouldn’t need to be linked. Am I misunderstanding the linked server definition or is there another underlying issue with the stored procedure?

Thousands and thousands of simultaneous users hitting a sproc — what do you do?

folks, i am not a db guy altogether, but I am a developer, and someone had asked me that question, and i got interested in the resolution. Lets say you have 50K users that hit the same stored procedure at the same time. The stored procedure is computation intensive and goes out to lunch for a bunch of seconds for each caller. Am i correct in thinking that the sql server has a certain number of threads that these calls to the sproc are made on — so if the thread pool size is 100 threads, it means the first 100 callers are entering the procedure, and the rest are blocking? for the sake of argument, lets say there are no record locks inside that sproc — its all complicated joins and calculations — what can be done in this case? as a developer, i started thinking that perhaps i should have multiple copies of that database so that i can partition the incoming callers in some round robin fashion? but even if i have 100 databases that are all copies of each other, the number of users/callers is still by far larger than the number of threads available to do the work? From all the reading i have done, the suggestions seem to be of “tuning” nature — meaning i can improve this or that — but what i need is something “architectural” that will show me how to truly scale databases. For example, calling .NET dlls from the sproc will dramatically improve the performance — but what if the number of users goes up to 100K? 500K? Any white papers, books you can suggest? i am truly looking for the way the “big boys” do it — i need to know that as the number of users goes up and up, i can spend the money, buy new servers, do some DB magic and have a truly scalable solution. thank you

Oh, one more thing. As a possible solution, i was told that these guys have multiple versions of the same sproc, but under different names and somehow this makes the situation more scalable — does this make any sense?

Cross-database name change in SQL Server 2008 stored procedures

Rusty2 — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 17:03:03 +0000

Hi:

The easy part is the databases will be on the same server. However at the moment I am writing code in database SOMEDATABASE_TEST which is accessing objects in SOMEOTHERDATABASE_TEST. When its time to go to production the names are going to change to SOMEDATABASE and SOMEOTHERDATABASE. However the queries in SOMEDATABASE_TEST stored procedures read:

select * from SOMEOTHERDATABASE_TEST.dbo.SOMETABLE

the goal would be to have some variable @@crossdatabasename = SOMEOTHERDATABASE_TEST

then all the calls would look like

select * from @@crossdatabasename.dbo.SOMETABLE

We are using sql server 2008 r2

What is the best way around this?

Thanks

Log of stored procedures run on my SQL 2005 box.

Karl Gechlik — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 17:22:30 +0000

How
can I tell who ran which stored procedure on our SQL 2005 server and at
what time? Can we see if one stored procedure called other stored
procedures there as well? Can we enable verbose logging somehow as well
for more data?
