Dropping SQL Server Locks

The following query can be used to drop the locks on Database objects. It should be used carefully as the false killing of the processes would lead to disastrous issues which would come as chain of issues.

Create Table #Tmp
(
spid smallint,
ecid smallint,
status nchar(30),
loginame nchar(128),
hostname nchar(128),
blk char(5),
dbname nchar(128),
cmd nchar(16)
)

Create Table #TmpLocks
(
spid smallint,
dbid smallint,
ObjId int,
IndId smallint,
Type nchar(4),
Resource nchar(16),
Mode nvarchar(8),
Status nvarchar(28)
)

Insert Into #Tmp
Exec sp_who

Insert Into #TmpLocks
Exec sp_lock

If(Select Count(*) From #Tmp T Join #TmpLocks TL On T.spid = TL.spid Where /*This is for tempdb*/ dbid = 2 And objid In (1, 2, 3)) > 0

Then you can kill the concerned spid with the command :

Kill — The concerned spid

Drop Table #Tmp
Drop Table #TmpLocks

Digging into a long running job

Revisiting the blogger to finally start again blogging about the SQL Server after a long long time.  This post is on analyzing and digging into what is causing a job significant time to complete. This will be a basic level of approach and I wish, I could have done better. But, its was enough in my case to get to a conclusion, with the knowledge I equip.   Issue : A job that's scheduled to run every three hours, was running for more than 48hours. Average job run time, 1.5hrs.  Analysis : First and foremost thing to do, is to find out on what session id is the job running on the instance. You may use the below query to fetch the session id of the job from the job name. declare @Var1 varchar(36) select @Var1=substring(REPLACE(CAST(job_id AS VARCHAR(36)),'-',''),17,16) from sysjobs where name =' JOB_NAME ' select * from sys.sysprocesses where program_name like '%'+@Var1+'%' You may get a single row or multiple rows with ...

Deferred prepare could not be completed

This is usually an error that is encountered while querying a remote database on a different server instance which says OLEDB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "ABCD" returned message "Deffered prepare could not be completed" Msg 8180, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Statement(s) could not be prepared. This is the way I could rectify, though this is not the lone mistake that gives this error every time. Just set the default to the database that is being querying to the user through which the Linked server is connecting to the database.

Incorrect SET Options with Filtered Indexes

Rebuild Index|Create Index|DML on a Table with Filtered Index fails with the error: The following SET options have incorrect settings: 'QUOTED_IDENTIFIER'. Verify that SET options are correct for use with indexed views and/or indexes on computed columns and/or filtered indexes and/or query notifications and/or XML data type methods and/or spatial index operations. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 1934).  The step failed. The Operation above might succeed when its through SSMS. But, would fail when the operation is from a SQL Agent Job. This is because, SQL Agent by default, do not have the SET Options enabled (ON). They are OFF. Reason: The following are the SET Options that are needed while operation on a table with a filtered index. Required SET Options for Filtered Indexes The SET options in the Required Value column are required whenever any of the following conditions occur: Create a filtered index. INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or MERGE operation modifies the data in a...
