Error: Could not continue scan with NOLOCK due to SQL Server data movement

Ran  the following

DBCC CHECKDB(MY_DATABASE) WITH PHYSICAL_ONLY
I got table error something like below

Msg 8909, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Table error: Object ID 0, index ID -1, partition ID 0, alloc unit ID 0 (type Unknown),
page ID (1:219356) contains an incorrect page ID in its page header.
The PageId in the page header = (0:0).
Msg 8909, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Table error: Object ID 0, index ID -1, partition ID 0, alloc unit ID 144115188075921408

So I ran the following

USE [master]
GO
ALTER DATABASE [MY_DATABASE] SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
GO
USE [DATABASE]
GO
DBCC CHECKTABLE(MY-Badtable, 'REPAIR_REBUILD')
GO
ALTER DATABASE [MY_DATABASE] SET MULTI_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

Then  ran the following again
DBCC CHECKDB(MY_DATABASE)


This worked, no errors!

Find database lock

IF EXISTS(SELECT request_session_id FROM sys.dm_tran_locks

WHERE resource_database_id = DB_ID('Model'))

PRINT 'Model Database being used by some other session'

ELSE

PRINT 'Model Database not used by other session'


---to see what is locking up the database
SELECT request_session_id FROM sys.dm_tran_locks

WHERE resource_database_id = DB_ID('Model')

Logging the performance counter

The following script creates a table PerfMondata in a SQLMonitor database and logs the counter in the interval of 30 seconds



use [SQLMonitor]

DECLARE @PerfCounters TABLE (

[timeDiff] AS (DateDiff(ss,[FirstDateTime],[SecondDateTime])),

[CounterValue] decimal(38,2)

) ;




 INSERT INTO @PerfCounters (

[Counter],

[CounterType],

[FirstValue],


[FirstDateTime]
)
 SELECT RTRIM([OBJECT_NAME]) + N' : ' + RTRIM([counter_name]) + N':' +RTRIM([instance_name]),[cntr_type],[cntr_value],GETDATE()

  Waitfor delay '00:00:30';


Update @PerfCounters

SET [SecondValue]= [cntr_value],

--for per sec counters

Update @PerfCounters

SET CounterValue = ([SecondValue]-[FirstValue])/(DateDiff(ss,[FirstDateTime],[SecondDateTime]))

where [counterType] = 272696576;


--for non per sec counters

 Update @PerfCounters

SET CounterValue = [SecondValue]

where [counterType] <> 272696576;

select * from @PerfCounters



INSERT INTO PerfMondata (perfCounter,Value,CAptureDate)

SELECT [counter],[CounterValue],[SecondDateTime] from @PerfCounters



--select * from PerfMondata




--following stored procedure takes in a counter as the parameter and displays the report on a specific counter

Dynamic sql : Getting result of dynamic SQL into a variable

DECLARE @sqlCommand nvarchar(1000)
DECLARE @city varchar(75)
declare @counts int
SET @city = 'New York'
SET @sqlCommand = 'SELECT @cnt=COUNT(*) FROM customers WHERE City = @city' EXECUTE sp_executesql @sqlCommand, N'@city nvarchar(75),@cnt int OUTPUT', @city = @city, @cnt=@counts OUTPUT select @counts as Counts

I had a situation where I had to loop through a list of database connections and if one of the database connection was down the flow had to continue to the next database.

This is how I achieved it -

1. The list of database connections ( the result returned by the Execute SQL task : Retrieve hospital list ) was assigned to the user variable @HospitalList ( type Object)  and the list was assigned as  the enumerator  for the Foreach loop  show in the following diagram.

The Script editor had the following code.

public void Main()


{
// TODO: Add your code here

bool failure = false;

bool fireAgain = true;

foreach (var ConnMgr in Dts.Connections)


{
Dts.Events.FireInformation(1, "", String.Format("ConnectionManager='{0}', ConnectionString='{1}'",

ConnMgr.Name, ConnMgr.ConnectionString), "", 0, ref fireAgain);

try


{
ConnMgr.AcquireConnection(null);

Dts.Events.FireInformation(1, "", String.Format("Connection acquired successfully on '{0}'",

ConnMgr.Name), "", 0, ref fireAgain);


}
catch (Exception ex)


{
Dts.Events.FireError(-1, "", String.Format("Failed to acquire connection to '{0}'. Error Message='{1}'",


ConnMgr.Name, ex.Message),
"", 0);

failure = true;


}

}
if (failure)

Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Failure;

else

Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;


}

}

}


The Precedence Constraint Editor for the success flow was set as follows

 

 

 

The Precedence Constraint Editor for the failure was set as follows.

 

 

Note: The connection string of the database was dynamically created . The connection string was stored in a database table which was read by the Execute SQL task : Retrieve hospital list

Srcript: Analysing Performance monitor data

After capturing the data in  the tables  ( link here - http://sql-dba-online.blogspot.com/2015/02/performance-monitor-how-to-run-relog-to.html) The following script will help to analyze the data.
