FIX: The performance of the statement that raises an error differs from the performance of the statement that does not raise an error when you trace exception events in SQL Server 2000 on an IA-64 computer (909100)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition
BUG #: 474717 (SQL Server 8.0)
BUG #: 474808 (SQL Server 8.0)
BUG #: 22 (SQL Hotfix)
Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2000 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2000 fix release.

SUMMARY

This article describes the following about this hotfix release:
  • The issues that are fixed by the hotfix package
  • The prerequisites for installing the hotfix package
  • Whether you must restart the computer after you install the hotfix package
  • Whether the hotfix package is replaced by any other hotfix package
  • Whether you must make any registry changes
  • The files that are contained in the hotfix package

SYMPTOMS

When you trace exception events in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 on an IA-64 computer, the performance of the statement that raises an error differs from the performance of the statement that does not raise an error.

Note For more information about how to trace exception events in SQL Server 2000, see the "More information" section.

For example, you have a statement that inserts an already existing value into a primary key column of a table. When you run the insert statement, you receive an error message that resembles the following:
Server: Msg 2627, Level 14, State 1, Line 1
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_Table1'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'Table1'.
The statement has been terminated.
Additionally, you can see the error in the SQL Profiler trace output. If you repeatedly run this insert statement for several hours, some executions of the statement take a much longer time to display this error message. Alternatively, you can use the SQL:StmtCompleted event class to record the duration for every execution of the statement. The duration of some executions of the statement are much longer than the duration of the rest.

This example shows a scenario in which you encounter this problem. This problem may be observed with other error numbers in addition to error 2627.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, avoid continually tracing the exception event in SQL Server 2000 on an IA-64 computer.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

MORE INFORMATION

To trace exception events in SQL Server 2000, follow these steps:
  1. Open SQL Profiler, create a new trace, and then connect to the instance of SQL Server.
  2. In the Trace Properties dialog box, click the Events tab.
  3. Under Available event classes, expand Errors and Warnings, and then double-click Exception.

    The Exception event class appears under Selected event classes.
  4. Click Run.
Alternatively, create a server side trace to trace exception events in SQL Server 2000. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Create the trace definition by using the sp_trace_create stored procedure.
  2. Add the exception event to the trace by running the sp_trace_setevent stored procedure and set @eventid = 33 together with other parameters.
  3. Start the trace by running the sp_trace_setstatus stored procedure.
For more information about these stored procedures, see the following topics in SQL Server 2000 Books Online:
  • sp_trace_create
  • sp_trace_setevent
  • sp_trace_setstatus
