Hello
We have latest CU4 installed for SQL Server 2014 SP3,
but Vulnerability scan engine warns about missing security update KB4505422.
Do we need to uninstall CU4 and install security update on CU3, then after updating to CU4 again ?
or there is not need for applying security update if it is already CU4 ?
Thanks
I have the following issue for a SQL Server 2016 instance.
Usually everything works fine but form time to time we are getting Error 17892 followed by error 18056. This is a selection form the error log of the instance:
2019-03-20 16:38:19.90 Logon Login succeeded for user <<User Name 1>>. Connection made using Windows authentication. [CLIENT: 10.xxx.xxx.xxx]
2019-03-20 16:38:40.96 Logon Error: 17892, Severity: 20, State: 1.
2019-03-20 16:38:40.96 Logon Logon failed for login <<User Name 1>> due to trigger execution. [CLIENT: 10.xxx.xxx.xxx]
2019-03-20 16:38:40.96 spid76 Error: 18056, Severity: 20, State: 1.
2019-03-20 16:38:40.96 spid76 The client was unable to reuse a session with SPID 76, which had been reset for connection pooling. The failure ID is 1. This error may have been caused by an earlier operation failing. Check the error logs
for failed operations immediately before this error message.
2019-03-20 16:38:45.36 Logon Error: 17892, Severity: 20, State: 1.
......
2019-03-20 16:38:49.19 Logon Login succeeded for user <<User Name 1>>. Connection made using Windows authentication. [CLIENT: 10.144.227.204]
As you can see the same user is first able to login without any problem and then the logon fails for some time and then start to work again! This goes on and off for some time and then start to work again.
We do have a logon trigger that uses APP_NAME() to check the application name and write to a log table if a certain condition are met. The user rights should be alright as it is able to insert records into the logging table. For this user that the error is occurring for there should not be any logging. The trigger is created with 'WITH EXECUTE AS SELF'.
On request here is the trigger code
CREATETRIGGER[tr_sasLogon]ONALL SERVERWITHEXECUTEAS SELFFOR LOGONASBEGINIF(APP_NAME()like'SOMETHING%')BEGININSERTINTO tkadmin.dbo.audit_login (date, login, program_name)VALUES(GETDATE(), ORIGINAL_LOGIN(),APP_NAME())ENDENDAnyone got some ideas what can be the issue causing this behavior?
Thanks,

Hello,
We have an in-house developed database application that uses SQL Server 2016 (13.0.5101.9) for backend data storage. Numerous tables have identity columns configured as the key field. This week two of these identity columns randomly changed to substantially lower numbers.
In one case the identity column changed from 20200954 to 20160296. In the other case the identity column changed from 20200000 to 20120046. In both cases the identity column was configured as an INT value with an increment step of 1.
We had previously encountered the better known issue where identity values can skip by 1000 during a server restart. We took the prescribed measures to eliminate this.
Anyhow, in approximately ten years of use of this application (using two or three versions of SQL Server over this time), I don’t ever recall experiencing identity values randomly regressing to a lower value. I am wondering…
1.) If anyone else has experienced this?
2.) Is this a known issue?
3.) Is there a known remedy?
It’s very unsettling having identity values randomly change.
Thank You,
Dale
Hi we run 2017 std. where I used to work we had a dashboard that would not only show the available space in the tran log but also how much and how fast it was filling up when we were monitoring the impact of special adhoc one time tasks. Here, I don't have that luxury but I just ran sys.dm_db_log_stats and suspect 3 numbers i'm seeing are of interest... total log size mb, active log size mb , log recovery size mb. Unfortunately I don't know which tells me what. This is a test system. I can lessen the risk of filling up the tran log by running my massive insert under ssis (it has a commit size) but would prefer ssms if its safe. Total log size is gigantic 103167.867187 mb which if its the magic number seems more than sufficient to handle 30 million inserts of 500 byte records. but the other two are in the 30 million byte range which would never work if I was to insert 20 million records under ssms.
when I run this query SELECTfile_id,name,type_desc,physical_name,size,max_sizeFROMsys.database_files
, I get size of the ldf is 13,205,488 and max size is 268,435,456. That seems contradictory to the 1st dmv's results.
Hi. We run 2017 std. We have to attach an exec windows userid to our 3rd party job scheduling software. The plumbing basically involves 3rd party-> powershell (via script file) -> exec sp start job -> sql agent-> ssis catalog.
Beside the permission the userid will have on the file system where the powershell script resides, does the community believe that exec on that off the shelf proc is all we need?
Another way to ask this is will permissions beyond/underneath executing that sp (eg writing to the data mart table that pkg a inserts to) carry thru as long as the userid has exec on the sp?
Hi,
I'm trying to do build a dashboard in Power BI to visualize graph data stored in SQL Server graph tables. If I directly import the graph table Power BI will give an error saying failed to access internal graph columns. In SQL Server 2017, I can build a view excluding the internal graph columns, then I can use it in Power BI. But in 2019 RC1 version, when I build a view from a graph table, the internal graph columns are automatically included regardless if I included them in the view or not. This makes it impossible to use the database in Power BI. Is this a bug in SQL Server 2019?
Running the same create view statement results in different results in 2019 RC1 compare to 2017.
Hi Experts,
One of the HEAP table rebuild operation is failing in one of our dev env. Have some few questions, kindly help.
>ALTER TABLE HeapTbl REBUILD;
There is a HEAP table which has 88% fragmentation and it is around ~25GB. The table also contains LOB datatypes columns as well. When we try to rebuild the HEAP , it is throwing transaction log full error.
Questions
1. How much disk space (in .mdf or .ndf) is required for the rebuild operation to complete successfully?
2. How much Tempdb space is required for the rebuild operation to complete successfully?
3. How much Transaction log file space is required for rebuild operation to complete successfully?
Thanks,
Sam

I am restoring the mdb.bak file from MS SQL 2012 server named 'ITASM' to MS SQL 2016 server named 'ibntest002063'. But While restoring the file I am getting the error whose image is below. I have created database named 'mdb' similar to database named 'mdb' in ITASM server. Do let me know what other consideration I have to follow. Also restoring database backup of MS SQL 2012 to MS SQL 2016 is ok ?
Background. I have a client that wants to move the database that they connect to from their local network to their Azure cloud server. They have purchased a few companies and they will not be able to link all of the local domains but want to have a few people access the app from the new companies they purchased. The app is used within a windows network. Its a clickonce app that uses SQL as the database and AD security group for single sign on. Their local AD is not connected to the Cloud Azure AD or linked as this is a one off type app only used by a few users.
QUESTIONS:
How can I get each user to authenticate to the hosted Azure SQL database using the local windows credentials linked to the SQL logins?
Any help or guidance or direction on how to get this to work would be great.
Thanks
If a transaction calls a SELECT using the table hint WITH(READPAST)... will it skip rows that are locked by other SELECT statements that are in READ COMMITTED mode and are issuing shared locks?
ie. Does READPAST skip rows that are locked by SELECT statements, not just UPDATE and INSERT statements?
Hello!
I'm trying to figure out the size of SQL Server memory buffer pool on my server - this can be done by 1) using thesys.dm_os_buffer_descriptors view or 2) the sys.dm_os_performance_counters view.
According to MS the buffer pool size "determines the maximum number of pages that can be cached in the buffer pool at any time in the running instance" so I think the buffer size can be found by counting all (distinct) pages returned by the sys.dm_os_buffer_descriptors view:
select distinct page_id INTO #PAGES FROM sys.dm_os_buffer_descriptors
select COUNT(*) AS cached_pages_count, COUNT(*)*8/1024 as BufferSIZEinMB from #PAGES
DROP TABLE #PAGES;
But the sys.dm_os_performance_counters view displayes the values that differ from the one above:
Q1: Is it the Total pages counter that satisfies MS definition?
Q2: Why the number of distinct pages from the sys.dm_os_buffer_descriptors view is three times smaller than that from the sys.dm_os_performance_counters\Total pages ?
Thank you for advance,
Michael
Hi,
We configured the Ag for 15 dbs in SQL 2014. Primary,seconadry and DR node.
Morning i found that the databases are not sync in DR Node. When i tried to join the db to AG (Resume data movement) i got the below error.
Failed to resume data movement in database 'abc', which resides on the availability replica 'DRnodeServer' in the availability group 'SQL2014'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
When i checked the WSFC in Primary server all the nodes are up. Please help to resolve the issue.
Thanks,

Hi guys,
I take a backup of my databases every night and the name of the backup is the follow:
Pippo_backup_2019_10_07_20126_5563527.bak
Pippo_backup_2019_10_08_20114_3255228.bak
.....
It means, nameDB_Backup_Year_Month_Date_??????_??????.bak
Now, I've been asked to copy and move overnight the latest backup for each database. I ma wondering how can I determine the latest backup taken?
Many Thanks
