SQL Server 中用DBCC Opentran语句查看未关闭的事务（转载）
从SQL Server 2008开始，可以使用DBCC Opentran语句查看数据库中最早一个没有被关闭的事务，下面这篇文章讲述了如何使用DBCC Opentran语句。
An Open transaction may simply be something that has not finished yet, or someone issued a BEGIN TRAN without a corresponding COMMIT or ROLLBACK. Or as we will see at the end, replication is having issues.
You can use this against any database with minimal syntax and get back solid information very quickly.
--connect to sample db use MyDatabase go --as generic as this command gets and still runs: DBCC OPENTRAN
Result if nothing is open:
No active open transactions. DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.
If I start and execute a DML (insert, update or delete) transaction with BEGIN TRAN and leave out the corresponding COMMIT, I get:
Transaction information for database ‘SmallData_BigLog’. Oldest active transaction: SPID (server process ID): 64 <———– UID (user ID) : -1 Name : user_transaction LSN : (637:4620:1) Start time : Apr 1 2017 4:59:02:307PM SID : 0x0105000000000005150000004893a0845595b6fef515cd5de9030000 DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.
Now, if I open a second transaction (in a new query window) and execute any DML statement without the COMMIT, and then run DBCC OPENTRAN again, I get:
Transaction information for database ‘SmallData_BigLog’. Oldest active transaction: SPID (server process ID): 64 <———– UID (user ID) : -1 Name : user_transaction LSN : (637:4620:1) Start time : Apr 1 2017 4:59:02:307PM SID : 0x0105000000000005150000004893a0845595b6fef515cd5de9030000 DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.
Yes…the same output, as this is just showing the ONE oldest transaction.
I can run a query to show that there are two SPIDs with open transactions:
-- SELECT spid, blocked,[dbid],last_batch,open_tran FROM master.sys.sysprocesses WHERE open_tran <> 0
Result:
If I COMMIT spid 64 and re-run DBCC OPENTRAN, the SPID changes to the second transaction I started:
Transaction information for database ‘SmallData_BigLog’. Oldest active transaction: SPID (server process ID): 52 <———– UID (user ID) : -1 Name : user_transaction LSN : (637:9603:1) Start time : Apr 1 2017 5:11:20:830PM SID : 0x0105000000000005150000004893a0845595b6fef515cd5de9030000 DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.
If I COMMIT spid 52 and re-run DBCC OPENTRAN along with checking sysprocesses for open_tran <> 0 I get:
No active open transactions. DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator. spid blocked dbid last_batch open_tran —— ——- —— ———————– ——— (0 row(s) affected)
Now, all of that was just running DBCC OPENTRAN by itself. There are additional options:
--specify dbname, dbid or 0 for the current database DBCC OPENTRAN (SmallData_BigLog)
You will get results in the same format as the previous examples.
You can suppress all messages, regardless of if a transaction is open or not (but I have no idea why this would help you…)
DBCC OPENTRAN (0) with no_infomsgs
Result:
Command(s) completed successfully.
If you needed to periodically capture the oldest transaction, in order to review later, use WITH TABLERESULTS:
-- TableResults only shows the oldest open tran -- useful running in a loop to load the oldest -- tran over time. --create a temp table CREATE TABLE #OpenTranStatus ( ActiveTransaction varchar(25), Details sql_variant ); -- Execute the command, putting the results in the table. INSERT INTO #OpenTranStatus EXEC ('DBCC OPENTRAN (SmallData_BigLog) with tableresults') SELECT * FROM #OpenTranStatus DROP TABLE #OpenTranStatus
In the above, you could create a user table instead of a temp table of course…it depends on your needs.
One more particularly useful item you may see when running DBCC OPENTRAN by itself:
Transaction information for database ‘Music’. Replicated Transaction Information: Oldest distributed LSN : (37:143:3) Oldest non-distributed LSN : (37:144:1) DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.
If your database is participating in Replication as a Publisher, this may show up when running OPENTRAN, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that the transaction is actually open. I set this up and stopped the Replication Log Reader and Distribution agent jobs. I then added some data to a published table (article) and ran DBCC OPENTRAN to get the above result. Note that there are two lines with LSN information in them (no SPIDs)
I then ran the Log Reader Agent job and got back:
Transaction information for database ‘Music’.
Replicated Transaction Information:
Oldest distributed LSN : (37:157:3)
Oldest non-distributed LSN : (0:0:0)
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.
I have verified that new records I inserted have been read by the log reader, AND distributed to the subscriber(s). This means that while you are seeing
Oldest distributed LSN : (37:157:3)
There is not an error…just info.
If you have non-distributed LSNs, there is something to troubleshoot in the replication process which is way outside the scope of this post. A non-distributed replicated transaction/LSN CAN cause some huge Log file growth, and need to be investigated. If this happens frequently, use the TABLERESULTS option to log to a regular table and alert on it.
Hopefully this gives you some insight into various ways to use DBCC OPENTRAN as well as use cases for the various options. 90% of the time I run this, it is due to application transactions timing out, or log file growth issues.
自我总结：
一般使用DBCC Opentran语句，最常用的场景是数据库对象（例如表）被一个事务长久地锁住了，但是你不知道是哪一个事务锁住了数据库对象，就可以使用DBCC Opentran语句查看当前最早开启事务的SPID，如果确认该事务是因为误操作或者应用程序Bug，所以一直没有被提交或回滚，那么可以使用KILL语句强制结束该事务的SPID，从而人工干预结束事务。
