High CPU usage help

Im at my wits end. The SQL server (SQL2000 using 2005 Studio to view )
activity log is showing several ProcessIDs that say "AWAITING COMMAND" and it
also says the Status is SLEEPING, However the CPU# is 235789 and the Phyical
I/O is 36345 and Memory is 912
So if the status is Sleeping and AWAITNG COMMAND, why are these numbers not
0? If its waiting it shouldnt be doing much of anything. Our SQL server will
just randomly start crawling

The information you are seeing is cumulative for that spid. It isnt what it
is using at that point in time, but those statistics are the resources used
for the life of that spid.

hierarchical trees

Hi all and thanx in advance...

There is a command in Oracle which is "connect by prior" and i think it's a function to build "hierarchical trees", so where can I find the source of this function, or if anybody knows it please tell me...

What i mean is there would be an SQL function before "connect by prior" function written...

Example... I can write a function called called sub

function sub(x,y)
{
Z= X - Y
return z
}

So and then in my program i can use z=sub(5,3) instead of z=5-3, i think connect by prior is same thing but of course longer coding....
Where can i get this code?Next MSSQLSERVER version will have ANSI resursive join implemented (maybe).
See http://www.experts-exchange.com/Databases/Microsoft_SQL_Server/Q_20514065.html
for hints and resources where to start.

Good luck !

Hiding of default objects in MS SQL Server

When created database in Microsoft SQL Server, many no. of default objects will be created.
when executed the command "sp_tables", so many no.of system tables will appear in addition to our own created tables. How to Hide them?

If you mean viewing in EM

How to hide/show system tables and other system objects in SQL Server Enterprise Manager?<top>

Open Enterprise Manager. Right click on your server name and choose 'Edit SQL Server Registration properties...' from the popup menu. This presents the 'Registered SQL Server Properties' dialog box. In the bottom half of this dialog box, there is a check box against 'Show system databases and system objects'. Check it to show system databases/tables or uncheck it to hide system databases/tables.
But:
I think (I can be wrong too) that sp_tables itself shows the tables that user can access. So I suppose there could be some ways with permissions to restrict the access (roles etc)
