My database is current 135GB. I have been running the following:
DBCC SHRINKFILE([database_data],2)
DBCC SHRINKDATABASE ( [Database],20,TRUNCATEONLY)
It's been running for 28 hours. Should it be taking this long? If I stop the shrink, will it need to rollback?
Thanks!
I want to display Days Hours Mins Format.
I am Having two columns Like below,
Col1 (in days) Â Â col2 (In Hours : Mins)
3days 4:5Â
In this first have to  add Col1 and Col2 (Here one day is equals to 9 hours ) so the addition is 31.5
From this 31.5 I should display 3 Days 4 Hours 30 Mins because 31.5 contains 3 (9 hours) days 4 Hours and .5 is equals to 30 mins.
I have data coming from a telephony system that keeps track of when anemployee makes a phone call to conduct a survey and which project numberis being billed for the time the employee spends on that phone call in aMS SQL Server 2000 database (which I don't own).The data is being returned to me in a view (see DDL for w_HR_Call_Logbelow). I link to this view in MS access through ODBC to create alinked table. I have my own view in Access that converts the integernumbers for start and end date to Date/Time and inserts some otherinformation i need.This data is eventually going to be compared with data from someelectronic timesheets for purposes of comparing entered hours vs hoursactually spent on the telephone, and the people that will be viewing thedata need the total time on the telephone as wall as that total brokendown by day/evening and weekend. Getting weekend durations is easyenough (see SQL for qryTelephonyData below), but I was wondering ifanyone knew of efficient set-based methods for doing a day/eveningbreakdown of some duration given a start date and end date (with theday/evening boundary being 17:59:59)? My impression is that to do thiscorrectly (i.e., handle employees working in different time zones,adjusting for DST, and figuring out what the boundary is for switchingfrom evening back to day) will require procedural code (probably inVisual Basic or VBA).However, if there are set-based algorithms that can accomplish it inSQL, I'd like to explore those, as well. Can anyone give any pointers?Thanks.--DDL for view in MS SQL 2000 database:CREATE VIEW dbo.w_HR_Call_LogASSELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.TRCUsers.WinsID, dbo.users.username ASInitials, dbo.billing.startdate, dbo.billing.startdate +dbo.billing.duration AS EndDate,dbo.billing.duration, dbo.projects.name ASPrjName, dbo.w_GetCallTrackProject6ID(dbo.projects.descript ion) AS ProjID6,dbo.w_GetCallTrackProject10ID(dbo.projects.descrip tion) AS ProjID10,dbo.billing.interactionidFROM dbo.projects INNER JOINdbo.projectsphone INNER JOINdbo.users INNER JOINdbo.TRCUsers ON dbo.users.userid =dbo.TRCUsers.UserID INNER JOINdbo.billing ON dbo.users.userid =dbo.billing.userid ON dbo.projectsphone.projectid =dbo.billing.projectid ONdbo.projects.projectid = dbo.projectsphone.projectidWHERE (dbo.billing.userid 0)ORDER BY dbo.billing.startdateI don't have acess to the tables, but the fields in the view comethrough as the following data types:WinsID - varchar(10)Initials - varchar(30)startdate - long integer (seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00)enddate - long integer (seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00)duration - long integer (enddate - startdate)ProjID10 - varchar(15)interactionid - varchar(255) (the identifier for this phone call)MS Access SQL statement for qryTelephonyData (based on the view,w_HR_Call_Log):SELECT dbo_w_HR_Call_Log.WinsID, dbo_w_HR_Call_Log.ProjID10,FORMAT(CDATE(DATEADD('s',startdate-(5*60*60),'01-01-197000:00:00')),"yyyy-mm-dd") AS HoursDate,CDATE(DATEADD('s',startdate-(5*60*60),'01-01-1970 00:00:00')) ASStartDT,CDATE(DATEADD('s',enddate-(5*60*60),'01-01-1970 00:00:00')) AS EndDT,DatePart('w',[StartDT]) AS StartDTDayOfWeek, Duration,IIf(StartDTDayOfWeek=1 Or StartDTDayOfWeek=7,Duration,0) ASWeekendSeconds,FROM dbo_w_HR_Call_LogWHERE WinsID<>'0'

So 1.5 equals 1 hour 30 minutes.
I need to change this to the format 1:30
Any idea how to do this?
If you have problems shrinking a transaction log no matter what commands you issue, here's a way to shrink the tranlog:
1. Right click on the properties of the database and go to the options tab.
2. Change the recovery mode to simple.
3. Right click again on the database - go to all tasks - shrink database.
4. Shrink the database.
5. Change the recovery mode back to what you had it as.
I found this out by trial and error as I could not find any documentation on it and no matter what I tried, I could not get the transaction log to shrink.
We have a few Servers that have space issues that need full DB Backups every day. As a result, we have to carefully watch how many DB Backup files we keep on the Server. On the Maintenance Plan, if I set the 'Delete files older than:' to '1' 'Day', will this delete anything over 24 hours old? What I have noticed, is that it tends to delete on Tuesday anything that was created on Sunday, but not Monday. Therefore, I am assuming that instead of '1 Day' being 24 hours, it is anything less than 47 hours and 59 minutes...
Is my assumption correct or do I need to look at something else. Thanks!

I have a job that runs between the hours of 10 PM and 9 AM. It launches a controller stored procedure that will call other stored procedure until the entire process is done.I would like the controlling stored procedure to only call the steps between the hours of 10PM and 9AM also.. So at 8:59 AM it will start the next step, but at 9:00 AM it will exit.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI use SQL 2K with an Access 2000 project as front end. I have four date fields in a table. The first one should contain a date (eg 20th of February), the second one a starting hour (eg 8:00h), the third one the finishing hour (eg 10:00h) and the fourth should calculate the difference between the second and third column.
So I created four datetime fields. Storing a date in the first column is no problem, but storing only hours doesn't seem to do what I want. When I enter 8:00 from within the Access, it is stored 1/1/1900 8:00 in SQL Server. How can I make sure that the hours are saved with the date of the second column, so either as 8:00 without further information or as eg 20-2-2004 8:00?

Hi, i have this problem :
I have to compare 1 hour between two days , example:
I have this datetime value (BitacoraProcesoUsuario.FechaInicioProceso) in 108 format : 23:35:22
and I make this query:
Select TOP 100 * from BitacoraProcesoUsuario
INNER JOIN Turno
ON convert(varchar,BitacoraProcesoUsuario.FechaInicioProceso,108) > = '24:00:00'
AND convert(varchar,BitacoraProcesoUsuario.FechaInicioProceso,108) <= '06:29:00'
and returns nothing........ this because 23:35:22 is gtreater than 06:29:00' value, my question is how can I compare this hours in this format.

Would you help me ?
In the example below, how can I do to have count = 9 ?
It means that I have 9 periods of 30 minuts from 09:00 to 13:30.
Thank you.
declare initial_hour as varchar(10)
declare final_hour as varchar(10)
declare per30min as varchar(10)
declare count as int
set initial_hour = '09:00'
set final_hour = '13:30'
set per30min = '0:30'
set count = (final_hour - initial_hour) / per30min ------>>> count = 9
I would like to know the best method or the simplest method to do the following. Take a datetime value and subtract a given number of hours. I am taking a UTC time and subtracting a given number or hours in a query. I seem to be getting mixed results.
Thanks

I have a SQL 7.0 sp3 server and I am trying to shrink a production database for use on other servers. The database/log sizes are 9601mb / 138mb with 772mb / 128mb free. I truncate a table that contains binary data. After this the database/log sizes are 9601mb / 138mb with 6634mb / 111mb free. The next step is to use EM to issue a shrink db. After this the database/log sizes are 6807mb / 378mb with 9.56mb / 365mb free.
After the use of truncate the the data in the datafile is about 2967mb.
After the shrink db the data in the datafile is about 6797mb.
The size of the data grew after the shrink db was issued. I looked at the tables and the space is largely associated with two tables that have a binary field, but the number or rows are still the same. I ran a checkdb just to make sure that there was not a problem and no problems were reported. I have used this process many times and this is the first time I have come up with these results. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Glen
if I shrink the db will it enable me to create another db with that space released by the first db?

Hi everybody:
Actually I have a 8.5 Gb database but the correct size that I need
to due disk space is 5 Gb. When I make a backup, the size of the dump is
4Gb, so I wonder if I create a 4- 4.5Gb my dump db will fit in it, but
not. Other way is create antoher db with 4 - 4.5 Gb and transfer via
sql-transfer or sql-bcp but I got a message that my device is too
short.
So I ask : What are the correct ways to reduce the size of a
database ?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
We just migrated our DB from one SQL Server to Another. Both DB's used to be the same size at 11GB. The new SQL Server is a whopping 33GB, and I can't seem to find out why. The new DM has fewer tables (the data is identical).
Does anyone know how I can compact or shrink my DB, know why or how it grew so much and didn't go back down to normal size, and maybe where I can search properties or change settings to find out what is going on and prevent it from happening again.
I know MS Access has a shrink utility, but don't know where it is in SQL Server.
Thanks, in advance for your help.

Hello,

Newbie question about reclaiming some disk space on our SQL server.
We currently have a db that has the following stats:
space allocated: 34734 MB
space free: 843.66
of this the current size of .mdf is 33877 MB and the space used is 33873 MB
the drive that holds this database is running out of space, what is the best method for me to use to reclaim some disk space?
I have read books online and am a little bit confused as to whether or not using shrinkfile on the .mdf will free up space to the OS? Do I need to do anything else before or after such as reindex? Also what is the overhead as we only have about 10% free on the drive.
I am trying to shrink a log file (.LDF), but it will not work. I am typing:
BACKUP LOG "Database1" WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY
dbcc shrinkfile ("Database1_log", 50)
The microsoft site says this should work:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272318/
...but I can't get the file to shrink, at all? I'm sure the SQL services need to be running. I am logged in as my Administrator / sa. What could I be missing? Trying to shrink it too much? (THANKS).
What is the best data type to use when tracking hours, for example;
2.30 < this is stored in DB
(two hours and thirty minutes)
5.15 < this is stored in DB
(5 hours and fifteen minutes)
MS SQLJust to confirm, I need to store the number of hours a user has spent doing something, am I correct using the smalldatetime field for the MS SQL database?I will eventually need to be able to calculate totals using SQL Reporting Services so it's important that the hours add up correctly (to 60 minutes, not 100).ASP.NETI'm trying to find the correct sort of formatting to use? Short time stores the time as 9:50AM, which isn't what i'm after.I need to store the hours as in 1 hour, or 01:00:00 (1 hour, 0 minutes, 0 seconds) or just 01:00 for 1 hour. I do need minutes but seconds are not required.I can't find the right formatting for this, would Long time be more suited?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a SQL 7.0 backend for a new DB of mine. This is the first time I
have developed a SQL backend from scratch, so the problem may be my design.
The problem may lie with my Access frontend (I have tried both 97 and 2k),
but I am inclined to think not considering the behavior.
On only one table (the master table no less), I cannot add records during
business hours. I can add records to other tables and edit records on this
table though. This troublesome table has a field indexed as unique that is
not the PK (don't know if that has any bearing, but it is the only table in
this DB that has that property).
The adding records problem appears to be network traffic related because
sometimes records can be added at lunchtime and definitely after hours. I currently only have 3 connected users. I had these problems with only one connected user, so the DB itself is not being strained by traffic. I often have more traffic on the DB after hours to avoid the problems. I have worked on the connection and network traffic angle for awhile, when I stumbled upon the bizarre part. If I add a record via a stored procedure and run this SP on the SQL query analyzer on the server (no network is involved) it is still slow to add the record (30 minutes or more). Needless to say this would equate to an failure on the front end. The same query will run in 0-3 seconds after hours!
Does anyone have any clue how this could happen? I am stumped.
I do have a budget for a consultant if I need one, but I need to find
someone who has a chance to fix this problem. If you don't know the answer
but can refer someone in the DFW area, I am in your debt.

I am trying to calculate business hours that an order that is open. The rules are 8am-5pm. For instance the first row, the clock would stop at 17:00, and pick up again at 8am and add on to total business hours. If the order was created after business hours, and the endstamp was before business hours, this would be 0. If created after 5pm friday, and the endstamp was before 8am monday, this would be 0. In the second set of timestamps I have here the order was recieved at 14:39 but took until the following day at 14:49 to be ordered. I imagine I have to use datepart and datediff for this, but other than that I am not sure on how to do it. Any help would really be appreciated!
