checkpoint on tempdb

It appears that after applying SP4 (the box has 4GB of RAM, so no post-SP4
was applied) the following situation started occuring:
- There is a simple scripted trace running on the server that captures
STMTCompleted and BatchCompleted events;
- A scheduled tasks fires every minute and captures the results using
::fn_trace_gettable function;
- tempdb is in Simple recovery mode (doh, that's the only mode that this
database can be in), but without explicitly issuing CHECKPOINT or BACKUP LOG
TEMPDB WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY space used in the log device continues growing.
While investigating the issue I set 3502 trace flag on, and also discovered
that even after explicitly issuing CHECKPOINT the entry about the checkpoint
on tempdb is not made.
As a workaround I added BACKUP LOG TEMPDB WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY to the job that
runs every minute. But what's interesting is that exactly the same scenario
with exactly the same trace works fine in 818 build, and space used in TEMPD
B
log device gets periodically cleared without having to explicitly issue any
checkpoint-related commands.
Is it a bug in SP4? And why 3502 trace flag does not post the entry for
TEMPDB (dbid 2)?
Any pointers would be appreciated.Thanks for reporting this problem.
TF3502 does not post entry in the errorlog for tempdb. This has been the
case since SQL 7.0.
There is another way to find out if there has been a checkpoint:
use tempdb
select * from ::fn_dblog(null, null)
This dumps the log since the last checkpoint.
Can you try that and let us know if there is indeed no checkpoint log
record? Or you could send me the data+log file of your tempdb in a zip file
and I will take a look. But that file may be huge.
This could be a bug. In the mean time I will ask the devs around here to see
if
anybody knows.
Finally, please note that both TF3502 and fn_dblog are undocumented
commands. There might be issues with using them on production systems. You
could open a case with Microsoft Product Support if you are not comfortable
with diagnosing the problem on your own.

Checkpoint not being issued

Hi,

Has anybody encountered this situation before? DB on SQL Server 2000 SP4 with trunc log on chkpt option turned on. Checkpoint trace flags were turned on but noticing no checkpoints are being done on one specific DB resulting into growing transaction log. No open transactions.

Any ideas?

Thanks.What traceflags are you using, and why?

CHECKING the TRANSACTION LOG

I am running SLQ 2000 SP4. I used to use the DBCC CHECKTABLE (syslogs) to
check the transaction log on a SQL 6.5 server. This doesn't work on a SQL
2000 Server. Is there a equivalent command or procedure. Thanks.
Hi Tom
Because log files are separate physical files this command is redundant. If
you want to look at the space used in the log file try DBCC SQLPERF

For 7.0 and 2000, DBCC CHECKDB and CHECKCATALOG covers integrity checks for
a database.
For 2005, you don't need CHECKCATALOG.

CHECKDB found 0 allocation errors and 2 consistency errors in data

Hi,
SQL 2000, SP4
Getting CHECKDB found 0 allocation errors and 2 consistency errors in
database after running dbcc checkdb:
Server: Msg 8952, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Table error: Database 'abc', index 'SyncServerState.PK_SyncServerState' (ID
327672215) (index ID 2). Extra or invalid key for the keys:
Server: Msg 8956, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Index row (1:677:2) with values (Id = 3 and ServerConfigId = 0 and Type = 'DevMgmtServerConfigHistoryId') points to the data row identified by ().
Also seeing in SQL error log:
Could not find the index entry for RID
'3600000000020000010044004400650076004d0067006d00740053006500720076006500720043006f006e00660069006700' in index page (1:152369),
help would be apperciated
thxTry rebuilding those indexes and you should be fine as they are
nonclustered.

Allthough I see in the errorlog 'Skipping startup of clean database id 5' and
that is the id of the db that I rebuilt the inex on.

Check version of SQL 2000 w/ select @@version

Can anybody tell me when i complete the sp4 upgrade to my sql server
2000 why when I type "select @.@.version" under sql query analyzer it
doesn't releft latest upgrade to sevice pack 4?
ie. it still shows Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.194 (Intel X86) Aug
2000 00:57:48
Any reply to help would be much appreciated... email:
mlajoinie@.gmail.com
-thanks
That is rtm. Better reapply the sp again.

|||Thanks, but I have reapplied this sp4 with same results, also tried it
on a sql 2000 dvlp ed. on xp with same results. I read something about
having the services stopped prior to running the service pack so tried
that too with same results after the select @.@.version command. Are
there any cmd lines to force the sp upgrade?

Have you extracted the service pack and then run the upgrade or just

Yes, but only if the default installation location(s) was chosen. You can
see all installed instances from Service Manager or under the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server.

Just to be clear, did you run setup.bat from the sql2ksp3 folder? The
sql2ksp3 setup will prompt you for the target instance after the EULA
dialog. Also, be sure you are connecting to that same instance when you
verify the installation. Personally, I prefer to use SELECT
SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel') so I don't have to remember the build
numbers.
The AS service pack (sql2kasp.exe) isn't related to the database engine
version. Also, your original post said SP4 but you now mention SP3.
Service packs are cumulative so you don't need to install both.

Sorry, but I know nothing about bart's PE CD. Maybe someone else can jump
in about that.
Hope this helps.

I think personally I was reading some other (bogus and misleading )
blogs off scroogle.org then choosing "google scraper" - this way Im not
a stat for google but rather use their engine via scroogle.org -
besides they've got some hilarious not so PC comments about big bro
google on the search engine. That is running sql2ksp.exe then
sql2kasp.exe. Sorry heard SP4 isn't for the faint of heart - this is
just a lab I'm setting up so will stick with SP3 sorry for the
confusion.. I also wonder out loud if I have an msdn subscription but
don't see office server 2007 as a download there yet do you know if the
msdn subscriber community will be privy to this release prior to final
release later this year? Thanks again, you were very helpful and onward
to laying down the tracks to Sharepoint 2003 (via a couple of vmware
workstations).

That's a bit of an exaggeration, IMHO. We have SP4 installed on all of our
SQL 2000 servers plus the AWE hotfix
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=899761) and have had no
problems. Note that SP3 is no longer supported. See

I see the Office 2007 beta 2 downloads currently available on MSDN for
Grove, Project and Sharepoint server.

Check version of SQL 2000 w/ select @@version

Can anybody tell me when i complete the sp4 upgrade to my sql server
2000 why when I type "select @.@.version" under sql query analyzer it
doesn't releft latest upgrade to sevice pack 4?
ie. it still shows Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.194 (Intel X86) Aug
2000 00:57:48
Any reply to help would be much appreciated... email:
mlajoinie@.gmail.com

Have you extracted the service pack and then run the upgrade or just
extracted it?

I extracted the service pack then ran it from a saved folder with same

Yes, but only if the default installation location(s) was chosen. You can
see all installed instances from Service Manager or under the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Mi
crosoft SQL Server.

Just to be clear, did you run setup.bat from the sql2ksp3 folder? The
sql2ksp3 setup will prompt you for the target instance after the EULA
dialog. Also, be sure you are connecting to that same instance when you
verify the installation. Personally, I prefer to use SELECT
SERVERPROPERTY('ProductLevel') so I don't have to remember the build
numbers.
The AS service pack (sql2kasp.exe) isn't related to the database engine
version. Also, your original post said SP4 but you now mention SP3.
Service packs are cumulative so you don't need to install both.

Sorry, but I know nothing about bart's PE CD. Maybe someone else can jump
in about that.
Hope this helps.
