Hi there,

We are facing an issue in our Server which is running our DB Engines. SQL process monopolizes the CPU consuming 100% of it and causing it to crash.

We tried using SQL Profiler to fetch some data which is causing this to crash but when we run it the CPU usage decreases to 15 - 30% and keeps running sightly until we decide to stop it, when suddenly the CPU hits 100% and crashes.

I've read a bit about this already, and I saw that Profiler disables the execution of sentences in order to allow the system to fetch data and when it closes, it "opens" the highway again... so this causes a big bottel neck.

After all this explanation my questions are:

1.- Any1 experienced someth similiar? If yes, how you solved this situation?

2.- How I can get through Profiler so when I stop the sniff I void creating a bottle neck?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Chechu.

I've seen it with sharepoint - are you using that?

Try running sp_who2 while cpu is 100% and see if you can find the culprit.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply.

We are not running sharepoint, so it has nothing to do with that :/

Anyone else have met this?

I'll try to run the sp_who2 tho. As soon as I have the output i'll come back here.

Regards,

Chechu.
