My Connection is fetching Partial Data while Log shipping is happening on Source Server

  • Hi,

    I am using a linked server to query a table in the source server with isolation level as read uncommitted.Log shipping is configured at every 15 mins at the Source server(secondary) from where i am loading the data.I have seen few instances whare while log shipping is on we are fetching only partial data not the full.

    please suggest me is any thing i missing in this issue.

    Source is on SQL2000

    My server is on SQl 2008r2.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Raja Suri

  • Could you explain a little more what you mean by partial data?

    Is it that you are trying to fetch 10 columns and only 9 return?

    Or is it that you are expecting 1000 rows but only get 999?

  • it is expectd to get 1000 rows but fetching only 100 and suceeds

  • Log shipping won't cause that. Log shipping is just regular log backups and they don't affect DB activity in any way.

    That read uncommitted isolation level however could very well cause exactly what you describe. The isolation level allows for rows to be missed or read twice, and if can happen often if there is concurrent activity.
