Looking for solution to Process ID 174:102 owns resources that are blocking processes on Scheduler 2.
We recently installed our Lucent Vitalnet app with SQL 2000. it runs fine for 2-3 days, then the app stops when the above SQL error message occurs. Rebooting the server temporarily fixes the problem until another 2 days.
Also Tried upgrading to 2005. Upgrade appears successful with no complaints but SQL comes up and still uses 2000.
Server we’re using has those multiple CPUs in it. Are there any issues with having multiple CPUs with SQL ?

SQL Server Table and View Index

Db23 — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 09:29:36 +0000

Hi,

I was wondering if migrating a database from SQLServer 2000 to 2005 using restore or detach/attach also copies the table and view index.

Thanks.

Looking for detailed synchronization logging in SQL Server 2008

SBatSI — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 14:57:53 +0000

We are in the process of performing a side-by-side upgrade from SQL Server 2000 to 2008 (Standard Edition in both versions). A merge publication is included in the upgrade, and it appears to be working fine on the new server, so there is no functional issue. However, I have grown accustomed to the detailed, timestamped synchronization log that was available in SS 2000, and I have been unable to find anything like that in SS 2008. I have brought up the View Synchronization Status dialogue, the Replication Monitor, and the subscription overview that results from right clicking the subscription in Replication Monitor and selecting View Detail. The subscription overview is a nice feature, but it does not replace the detailed log; for example, the error listing at the bottom of this window has no timestamps.

Am I missing something, or am I looking for something that no longer exists? Thanks in advance… Steve B

What Is Your SQL Server 2008 Adoption Rate?

BenchmarkIT — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 20:47:01 +0000

http://benchmarkitconsulting.com/colin-stasiuk/2009/02/19/please-vote-what-is-your-sql-server-2008-adoption-rate/

SQL Server 2008 RTM is over 6 months old now and I’m wondering what people are seeing so far in terms of adoption rate. What I’ve seen so far in the environments that I’ve been working on definitely falls in the 1% – 25% category.

What has everyone seen in the environments that they work in?

(Thanks to everyone who votes!!)

Upgrading to a 64-bit SQL Server 2005 environment

SQL Server Ask the Experts — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 18:28:28 +0000

We are replacing an existing SQL Server 2005 32-bit environment with a new SQL Server 2005 64-bit Enterprise Edition environment. The new solution will be a 2-node Microsoft Cluster with SQL Server Cluster Server, all 64-bit Enterprise additions. The only issue we are having is determining a good baseline for the base memory to install. Can you suggest a minimum amount of memory to handle the 64-bit OS, application & two or three instances?
