Hello All -

Just this morning, our SQL server is experiencing very slow response time and every time we try openning "Management" the server freezes up. Any ideas guys ? No major update or patches installed... It's driving us nuts...

Thanks!

Igor.

are you trying to get to the current activity window?

have you tried using sp_lock or sp_who from a remote machine in the query analyzer?

have you ever heard of the Fonzy method? (kidding).

No, I just got on the office and as usual, the first thing I look at is the Jobs, what ran and what not...
We tried connecting from a remote using Enterprise Manager, but didn't try those SPs yet.
Oh yeah, heard and used =D !

Did you get this figured out igor?

Look for active processes using sp_who that are using a lot of CPU.

Also, you should be looking at performance monitor and profiler.

I would hope you have it solved by now. lol

We used sp_who and sp_lock, sp_who listed one process database/process in particular that continuosly takes memory (and on and on) and we're trying to take that DB offline. Do you guys happen to know what SP do I use to take DBs offline ? (if any)

Other than that, we still having the same issue, I particularly think that the server can't handle as much I/O as it is having, but you know...

It worked, we ran the SQL Profiler, there is one DB which is taking too much memory (don't know why) and I took that DB offline using the command above, after that everything came back to normal. And life is beautiful for the rest of the day...
Thanks for the help guys!!!!!
