With dbcc traceflags you can do many different things, like change the behaviour of the server, see why a certain query plan is choosen or fine-tune the optimizer. This page shows you how to use them and provides a list of known traceflags.

Using traceflags

You can set a traceflag in two ways

At boottime

Usually a server is booted through the runserver file. In this file (default location is $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install) you can add a traceflag by specifying a -T flag and one or more comma separated values.

At run time

When you are logged in to ASE you can set a traceflag with the dbcc traceon command. Example:

dbcc traceon(3604)

You can specify multiple values, comma separated. To turn a traceflag off, use traceoff

dbcc traceoff(3604)

Which traceflags are active

To see which traceflags are active for your own session use the dbcc traceflags command

dbcc traceflags

To see the traceflags of other sessions as well

dbcc traceflags(2)

List of known traceflags

Below you will find a list of currently known traceflags. But beware of the following:

WARNING

  • Most traceflags are undocumented and not supported by Sybase, use at your own risk. Certain traceflags can severely harm your databases.
  • Some traceflags are obsolete and are replaced by configuration parameters.
  • Certain traceflags should be used when you start the server, others are meant for a specific session, when known this is indicated in the list.
  • Experiment first on a test server, use only on production systems when either the traceflag is documented by Sybase or when you have consulted Sybase Technical Support.


List of dbcc traceflags
Explanation Since version Untill Version Boot time Run time
100 Display a parse tree for each command
108 Allow dynamic and host variables in create view statements 12.5
116 Print the text of the abstract query plan. Supported by Sybase, see documentation
200 Display messages about the before image of the query-tree
201 Display messages about the after image of the query tree
208 Show types of locks taken
217 Display a warning message for using the T-SQL extension of queries with grouped aggregates and columns in the select list which are not in the GROUP BY clause. 15.0.2 ESD 2
241 Compress all query-trees when ASE is started
243 Do not expand select * to column names when creating a compiled object
244 When set, the maximum length of the returned value of str_replace() is 16384, otherwise it is 255. When Msg 511 is incorrectly raised with this flag on, upgrade to 15.0.2 ESD 6.
260 Reduce TDS (Tabular Data Stream) overhead in stored procedures. Turn off done-in-behaviour packets. See also Send doneinproc tokens.
291 Changes the hierarchy and casting of datatypes to pre-11.5.1 behaviour. There was an issue is some very rare cases where a wrong result could occur, but that's been cleared up in 11.9.2 and above. 11.9.2
292 Never send doneinproc tokens. See also Send doneinproc tokens.
298 Display an error message when a query uses a correlated variable as an inner or outer member of an outer join.
299 Do not recompile a stored procedure that inherits a temp table from a parent procedure.

5101 Forces all I/O requests to go through engine 0. This removes the contention between processors but could create a bottleneck if engine 0 becomes busy with non-I/O tasks.
5102 Prevents engine 0 from running any non-affinitied tasks.
7103 Disable table lock promotion for text columns.
7703 When assinging a value from a table into a local variable, go through the whole resultset rather than jump to last row and assing the value once.

11229 Use pre-12.5.3 behaviour to import statistics for proxy tables. Supported by Sybase, see documentation 12.5.3
11231 CIS: Connections to remote servers are not disconnected and remain engine affinitied until the client session terminates. The connections can now be dropped and detached from an engine after executing a statement to the remote server by enabling this flag. Exceptions are when the statement is participating in cursor, transaction or stored procedure operations; or when ASE is in either HA failover or failback states. 15.0 ESD 2
11232 A 2762 error, "CREATE TABLE command is not allowed within multiple statement transaction" may be reported when executing a SQL INSERT..SELECT from proxy table mapped to a RPC. This traceflag has to be turned on to allow CREATE TABLE command in the remote procedure (serverwide) 12.5.3. ESD 5 and 15.0 ESD 2
11237 Only for proxy tables to Oracle, do not append unneeded "null clause" to "alter table modify" command 12.5.4 ESD 10
11299 Allows connection information to be logged when a connection to a remote server fails. Supported by Sybase, see documentation
11906 Informational messages from REORG will no longer be printed to the errorlog. 15.0 ESD 2

15302 When a subquery appears in the ON clause of an outer join query, the performance may not be efficient. ASE will do optimization for subquery attachment to achieve more favorable performance when turned on. 15.0 ESD 2
15303 Possible performance improvement on a SELECT statement when a BIT column is involved in the WHERE clause. 15.0 ESD 2
15322 Use 12.5 behaviour when assigning variables in combination with subqueries. 15.0.2 ESD 6
15371 When set, bug fix for a sub-optimal plan is chosen when the query contains a subquery from an IF EXISTS clause. 12.5.4 ESD 10
15381 When set, the warning message 307, "Index <index_name> specified as optimizer hint in the FROM clause of table <table_name> does not exist. Optimizer will choose another index instead." is disabled. 15.0.2 ESD 4
