Large Use Of Cpu In Apache + Sqlsrv Driver Getting Deadlock

Hello,

I’m working as project manager (and developer) in a project already built to serve as a Central Customer Service from a large company. In the last days we’re experiencing several ocurrences of deadlocks in our queries and a lot of cpu use from the apache process, making us change a lot of code, especially switching from Active Record to pure SQL (using Yii’s query builder). The application is module based (there are other 2 modules with “small use”) and there are other 4 Yii applications installed in the same server(small to medium use).

The server is Virtual Machine with Windows Server 2008 with 4GB RAM and a 2 core CPU. The database is in another server using SQL Server Enterprise 2008 R2. We’re using sqlsrv (v 3.0 from Microsoft) as the PHP driver.

Five days ago i started to overwrite our code with a lot of performance optimization, especially APC and Yii’s cache built in functionality.

The big problem is that we need a lot of Ajax events, including javascript’s interval to update grids, and we already know that the users use a lot of windows opened at the same time, especially because they work in a “multi-task enviroment” handling a lot of screens and registries, everything in real time. To make it worst the DBA is taking a lot of time just to bring us the profiling results from the queries made from our server to the Database Server.

Anyway, do anyone have experienced some kind of problem like these before, especially using SQL Server with Yii in large scale applications?

Our client’s IT suggested creating a virtual host for each application. The thing is that i don’t understand how this would fix the problem since most of the problem is directly on the CCS application.

More info from our installation:

  • Apache 2.2.22

  • PHP 5.4.16

  • sqlsrv driver (3.0)

  • Last built Yii

I’m attaching some prints with information about the server.

Oh, and i’m sorry about my bad english.

I don’t understand why Yii’s ActiveRecord is causing deadlocks. how many records do you have?

Hi alirz23,

The main table on our module has 5270 rows. But we have to store the history of changes in that table, so there’s at list 2 rows (status history) for every row found on the main table.

There’s an attachment table too, and other related tables that are linked to this main table.

The query with the most occurrences is:

                       t.ds_chamado AS ds_chamado, 

                       t.dh_chamado AS dh_chamado,
