hi dave

i got an idea about active transaction’s count in a database

with your query.but i have one query,how can i measure

the “hit count” second for a paticular transaction in table

like (it may be single updation,bulk copy of data’s insertion),

so how can i measure the second’s count.

Thanks in Advance

i got the answer……….if anybody dont know then it will helpful

for implicit-transactions

set implicit_transactions on
set implicit_transactions off

example is(no need of begin tran)

update authors
set phone=’9866530517′
where au_id=’756-30-7391′
update publishers
set city=’hyderabad’,country=’india’
where pub_id=’9952′
commit tran

hi pinal sir,
i am havng doubt regarding transactions……in oracle we need not give explicitly BEGIN TRAN………. In sqlserver 2000 also………we have to write BEGIN TRAN explicitly………

Hi All,
I am writing stored procedure for transfering data from 5 staging tables to 5 master tables using sql server 2005 which are in same db and same server.
I have following requirements
–>I will first check the count in both staging and master tables
–>if staging table count is greater than master table count then
–>truncate master table records.
–>then insert query executes which fetches records from staging to master table.
Among 5 tables last two are dependent.
For each staging to master table i am writnig individual
Transaction.

But the problem is when i am executing this sql server getting very slow almost getting struck.

Is this the correct way which i am following if not please suggest me the right way.
its really urgent.
Thanks in advance for any help

@Virag,

With SQL Server 2000, Unfortunately no. However you can run a dbcc opentran(‘databasename’) on 2000/05.

This will only give you the longest running transaction in that database.

Because it is on standby mode, the restore is not finished yet. sql server is expecting you to
apply more backups. when when you are about to apply the last backup,
choose the RECOVERY option. This tells SQL server that the restore is finished.

IN a situation where you have only one backup file to restore, you should always choose the RECOVERY option
except when you are log shipping or mirroring database.

To solve your problem, restore the DB with the RECOVERY option.
You can then detach it and re-attach it.

That piece of sql doesn’t work in sql 2000. The Dynamic management view is one of the new features in SQL Server 2005 you can use to query the health of sql server 2005.

For it to work, you have to run it in SQL server 2005 environment.

can i attach a read only restored database. I restored a
database Test in Stand by Mode. After that i detached that database and while restoring i m getting msg “Cannot attach a database that was
being restored.”.
Is it that i can not attach a readonly restored
detached database ?

Dear Pinal,

I am using SQL 2000. I tried executing the command.

It gave following error :
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name ’sys.dm_tran_session_transactions’.

I tried using Master and TempDB databases, but same error persisted.

Kindly suggest.

Viraj
