Poet vs SQLQueryNotificationService
-
Hello lovely tdwtf-ers,
this is not really a coding question as more of a DBA one, but I was hoping someone might know.
I have a MS SQL Server database on which a SQLQueryNotificationService queue is running every second. It is trashing the windows event log because it cannot find the stored procedure it's trying to call.
"The activated proc '[dbo].[SqlQueryNotificationStoredProcedure-9957b324-e637-41af-8d9f-8deba5f3db6c]' running on queue 'PRACTICE.dbo.SqlQueryNotificationService-9957b324-e637-41af-8d9f-8deba5f3db6c' output the following: 'Could not find stored procedure 'dbo.SqlQueryNotificationStoredProcedure-9957b324-e637-41af-8d9f-8deba5f3db6c'."
When I try to drop the bar-steward it tells me:
Msg 3716, Level 16, State 14, Line 1
The queue 'dbo.SqlQueryNotificationService-9957b324-e637-41af-8d9f-8deba5f3db6c' cannot be dropped because it is bound to one or more service.Okay, I thought, I am dufus. I checked I was the DBO, even ran a ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::DB TO ME which completed successfully. Still no joy. Then I thought... well what service could possibly be it. Broker perhaps, therefore
ALTER DATABASE PRACTICE SET DISABLE_BROKER
ALTER DATABASE PRACTICE SET NEW_BROKER
ALTER DATABASE PRACTICE SET ENABLE_BROKERNo change.
Then I thought ... run
select * from sys.dm_qn_subscriptions
see if this helps somehow. Weirdly, I don't see the damn queue there. I thought I should.
So what do I need to do to get rid of that annoying bugger? Any ideas?
Oh, I tried a kill query notification subscription ALL which did run just fine, except it didn't fix my issue.
-
Would it be possible to track what is trying to run that SP creating one with that name, and logging something?
-
Sadly no profiler on there and it's a customer system where I only have some partial powers on the PC. I suspect it's an ARCSERVE DB Sync that calls it.. but I can't say for sure.
-
Oh... The %^£$%^£(£%^*!!! I got it.
Apparently Service Broker had hung shutting down when I tried to disable it. It's fine now. New Broker, no insanity.
-
I love it when that happens.
taskkill -f -im stupid_program.exestupid_program.exeE: another instance is already running
?Oh look, it's still alive wtf?
*reboots*
stupid_program.exe

That, Sir, just made me laugh heartily. This has happened to me so many times and its always as infuriating as the first time.
-
What I would love to have is a way to easily claim to be a debugger app, hook into a non-responding program, then suicide and take it down with me....
-
Just obliterate all references to the program in memory. You thought you had CPU access? NOT ANY MORE BUDDY.

Yes, I like pulling the rug, continent, planet, universe, and reality out from under my misbehaving programs. They generally learn to behave after that. At least that's what I tell myself.
-
Can SIGKILL be caught, and if so, WHY?
Shouldn't SIGKILL be a kernel message to drop the process from existence?
-
Not necessarily caught, but if you're totally deadlocked, the SIGKILL doesn't even get processed. I've only really had those "this thing should be dead but I hardlocked it totally and completely so it might not even respond to a kill" processes fail to die so I assume it's related to that...
-
Caused by IO or device drivers, evidently.

i see this a lot of the time from programs that were written for one version of .net but are actually running on another. Backwards compatibility my behind.
-
Sublime Text tends to do that to me when working on stuff mounted over
sshfs. I'm guessing it gets stuck in some I/O operation and deadlocks so badly even the kernel gives up. And leaks memory. 99% of all of reboots of my work machine is Sublime Text being an ass.
