SQL Server Processes

  • Hi,

    What is the step by step process, once SQL Server is up and running? For example, what are the processes that are running once SQL Server is started.

    thanks,

    🙂

  • You can check the log file for getting the process details. As per my knwledge it is store somewhere in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80 or 90\bin....

  • Renu, good question..:)

    rinu, since how long you are using Sql server?

  • I'm not sure I understand your question. Processes within SQL, processes visible to the OS, something else entirely?

    Gail/Sandy,

    I actually wanted to know what are the different processes that are involved while any sql server instance is started. I just had a question that came to my mind as how sql server works??:)

    hope its not a silly question:)

  • You can read through the error log to get a high-level overview. The details are quite complex. I saw a section in a book I read recently and the description of exactly what hapened when ran to over three pages.

    If you're interested, the book was "Practcal troubleshooting: The database Engine", edited by Ken Henderson.

    I don't have the book handy, so I can't give you the chapter and page. Will do tonight, if I remember.
