disabled schedules - but jobs still run?

i have sql called creates half dozen jobs. these jobs have external dependencies means not want them run designated schedules until dependencies fulfilled - hence include following line @ hthe end of sql creates jobs :- update sysschedules set enabled=0 [name] '%rrd%' (all jobs prefixed rrd). if view jobs in management studio can see schedules indeed not enabled - still run , of course fail. or invoking these jobs @ scheduled time if schedule disabled. neeed disable jobs schedules seems overkill. (i because used leave schedules enabled diable jobs did not work either jobs still ran!) when disable job through management studio (right click disable), not disable job , disable schedule job. if update table (sysjobs) directory, miss update sysschedules tables start the job per schedule. right way disable job through t-sql use sp_update_job procedure exists under msdb database. eg exec msdb.dbo.sp_update_job @job_name = 'test',@enabled = 0 vidhya sagar. mark answer if hel

we have reporting service (not sql reporting service) using stored procedures provide data reports. reports on transactional data directly. run timeout exception time time on production server. we can tune query run faster , hope not collide other threads updating same tables. or consider replicating transactional data dedicated reporting database run reports against. wondering right design/pattern such task is. e.g. creating reporting database right approach solve problem? can achieve selecting right isolationlevel? we use sql 2005 , read_comitted both transactional data updates , report sps. thanks hi wan zeng, if not need real-time reports, suggest creating dedicated database generating reports instead of accessing production database. can use etl tool transfer data f @ regular intervals sync production , reporting databases.   please see: http://sqlserverpedia.com/blog/sql-server-bloggers/reporting-on-your-oltp-system/ http://grounding.co.za/blogs/brett/archiv
