I've a problem with my database. Till yesterday the option for Auto Grow of Database (10 %) was working very fine, but now it seems to be some problems with it. Finally I had to specify a restricted size for the database and then it again startd to give me some space in the database to write in. Ideally it should have worked automatically, isnt it ???
There is no problem with the space on the drive, I still have some 76 gb of free space there ...
I've been through the forum and read a number of threads on people's DBs not growing and the answer usually is they don't have auotmatically grow data file. Unfortunately I have this on, but when I look at the properties of the database it reports the space available is 0.00 MB? Up until about two weeks ago I was showing appx 48% space utilization. When I ran an SP to show growth, it tells me that it was expanded by 20% yesterday, but SQL Server is still telling me the space available is zero.
The log file is also set for auto growth. The DB is 14.5 GB in size and the drives still have around 92 GB of space.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any ideas? Does anyone know of an SPs that can give me detailed info on internal data file size compared to stated size (i.e. wasted space in data file)? Is SQL Server doing something funny in the way it is seeing the database or data files individually? Any help is appreciated.
Hi , I have a SQL 7 database in which I have set the autogrow on. I need some way to be notified when the database does an autogrow. The reason for this is that if it does an autogrow once then if I am notified then I can manually expand the DB size without having SQL Server do multiple autogrows. I was looking at setting an alert but cannot find any message in sysmessages that seem to be information types for auto grow. Has anyone done this kind of thing. Thanks Venkat
SQL 2000I thought I would throw this out there for some feedback from others.I'd like to know if you feel using MS auto-increment field is a goodsolution these days or should one grow their own ?Thanks,Me.
I made a database to hold recordings of calls made to our customers.When I made it I set the size of the primary datafile to 18GB. It'sbeen running flawlessly for over 10 months. A few days ago the userswere suddenly no longer able to save the recordings to the database.They got an error message to the effect that the timeout had expired.The failure occurred on the .Execute statement of the Command thatcalls the stored procedure.I noticed that the data had reached the size allocated for the file.The file was set to auto-grow (5%). However, since I couldn't findanything else wrong, and since the test version of the database (whichonly has 15GB of data in an 18GB-dimensioned file) did not exhibit thesame behavior, I decided to try increasing the size of the file withan ALTER DATABASE statement. I increased it to 21GB. Lo and behold,the problem disappeared.Here's what I think might be going on: The default timeout for theADO Command object is 30 seconds... this is probably not long enoughfor SQL Server to add 900 MB to the datafile, therefore the Commandtimeout expired. So from now on instead of relying on auto-grow, I'mgoing to just make sure the datafile always has plenty of headroom.FWIW.
We're using SQL2000 on Windows 2000 Server, but this is a problemwe've had on one particular database since SQL7 on NT4.The database in question is set to autogrow by 10% (currently sittingat 31Gb total size). However, last week users complained of aslowdown in performance. When we checked we found that only 14Mb wasfree on the database (we thought it would've grown automaticallybefore then), and when we added an additional 1Gb manually performancepicked up.Does SQLServer wait until all the space is used up (i.e. 0% free)before autogrowing? Even at that, we've never actually had thedatabase grow automatically - we've always had to add space manually.Settings on this database, and one that does grow automatically,appear to be the same (have also checked via sp_helpdb). So wheredoes the problem lie?Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Made the jump from SQL2000 to 2005 - i'm not a DBA but like to play around with such nice tools- and tried to convert my DTS package into a 2005 one.
I've got a csv file containing some log in information.
As users log in everyday, this keeps getting added to the file.
I'm only interested in the latest appearance of a certain machine on the network so i filter by creating an unique Index
the CSV file get's imported into a temporary table first and then i executed the following on SQL2000
CREATE TABLE [patchings].[dbo].[allfilter] (
[username] varchar (20) NULL,
[machine] varchar (20) NULL,
[os] varchar (20) NULL,
[sp] varchar (20) NULL,
[date] smalldatetime NULL,
[time] varchar(10) NULL,
[logonserver] varchar (20) NULL,
[country] varchar (20) NULL,
[domain] varchar (20) NULL,
varchar (20) NULL,
[brand] varchar (20) NULL,
[model] varchar (20) NULL,
[speed] int NULL
)
CREATE unique INDEX [my filter] ON [dbo].[allfilter]([machine], [os]) with ignore_dup_key ON [PRIMARY]
go
insert into "Allfilter" select * from temptable order by date desc
This worked perfectly in SQL2000.
when i try to do the same in SQL2005, it doens't start inserting the most recent machines (filtered on the date) but machines at random
selecting the select * from temptable order by date desc shows me the correct order for the machines by date so i'ld presume that it adds the most recent combination of machine and operating system from "today" and ignores the older appearances.
if the temptable contained for instance..
MY-MACHINE MY_USER Windows XP Service Pack 2 2006/06/13 10:02:34 Mydomaincontroller BE MY_DOMAIN my_ip IBM type 2593 MY-MACHINE MY_USER Windows XP Service Pack 2 2006/06/15 9:59:59 Mydomaincontroller BE MY_DOMAIN my_ip IBM type 2593 MY-MACHINE MY_USER Windows XP Service Pack 2 2006/06/16 12:33:09 Mydomaincontroller BE MY_DOMAIN my_ip IBM type 2593 MY-MACHINE MY_USER Windows XP Service Pack 2 2006/06/19 10:48:56 Mydomaincontroller BE MY_DOMAIN my_ip IBM type 2593 MY-MACHINE MY_USER Windows XP Service Pack 2 2006/06/20 11:03:49 Mydomaincontroller BE MY_DOMAIN my_ip IBM type 2593
under SQL2000 i'ld see one record in the final "allfilter" table
MY-MACHINE MY_USER Windows XP Service Pack 2 2006/06/20 11:03:49 Mydomaincontroller BE MY_DOMAIN my_ip IBM type 2593
under SQL2005 i don't see the last one though coding is the same
MY-MACHINE MY_USER Windows XP Service Pack 2 2006/06/16 12:33:09 Mydomaincontroller BE MY_DOMAIN my_ip IBM type 2593
I use ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL 2005, the SQLCacheDependency didn't work stable for me, it usually works and after a while, it stops working. Recently, It doesn't work. Today I reset service broker by
Alter DB set new_broker
It seems all work, but too early to be happy, it doesn't work now anymore. I don't see any record in
sys.transmission_queue
And I don't see new entries in
sys.dm_qn_subscriptions neither when I modify a record which bind to SQLCacheDependy.
I see some errors in log like
Message The query notification dialog on conversation handle '{8F8CC642-6340-DB11-8F09-0014227B7B80}.' closed due to the following error: '<?xml version="1.0"?><Error xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQL/ServiceBroker/Error"><Code>-8490</Code><Description>Cannot find the remote service 'SqlQueryNotificationService-f79776f7-9ca5-4c5f-8a66-0d81f7673683' because it does not exist.</Description></Error>'.
This happens only on multiprocessor machines. SQL Service pack 3. The only way to fix it is to restart the SQL service. If you have a performance tool based on that value, like Idera's SQLdm- sorry, it will show zero.
I've some really big problems with SQL Server 2005 Express. I Recently, I had 2 instances on my machine, one was a SQL Server 2000 Developer and the other a 2005 Express Version. The 2000 version was not necessary anymore, so I unstalled it, since then, the Express version keeps having probems.
Under the Server Properties -> Database settings -> Database Locations I've changed the path to D:sqldatamssql, but now, the programm always takes the "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" to store and load the databases, no matter what I do.
And there are more problems see here:
Restoring does not work======================= I wanted to restore a database called "fw40_admin" from a backup file (.bak), but that didn't work at all, it always says this as an error:
"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '5(error not found)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'D:sqldatamssqlfw40_admin.mdf'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)"
But as soon as I type in the installation path "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" inside the "Restore As" under "Options", it works.
Why does the backup only work in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData", BUT the database locations under the server properties is indicated with "D:sqldatamssql"????
Attaching does not work======================= Attaching an existing database does not work either. Most databases (mdf) are located on the path D:sqldatamssql, but as soon as I press
Attach Databases -> Add
The dialog window appears with the "D:sqldatamssql" path, but it is unable to find any *.mdfs altough THERE ARE .mdfs in this directory. But Express can find databases in the selected installation: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData". Why can't Express see the directory on the D: partition???
i am new at T-SQL and am trying to delete entries in a column that are not integers. i have the following code. why does it not work.
T-SQL
select invoicenumber from [control register] where convert(int, invoicenumber) like '%' if @@error > 0 begin delete from [control register] where invoicenumber = invoicenumber end go
gives me the error in Query analyser:

@@error is supposed to pick up the error. why is it not.
please could you reply urgently at chris@captivedesign.co.za
can someone tell me why this sql statement doesnt work?
SQL = "SELECT (Count(department_id) as 'totals' FROM nonconformance WHERE department_id = '7'),(Count(department_id) as 'totals2' FROM nonconformance WHERE department_id = '1') FROM nonconformance"
Can someone tell me why this thing in the end return Null?
declare @uz_id uniqueidentifier set @uz_id=null set @uz_id= case @Uz_ID when null then '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' else @Uz_ID end select @uz_id
...it should return '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' in my opintion
P.S. When I say return i mean the value that is shown after 'select @uz_id' is executed:)

I have an issue. When I am performing a Merge Join using two fields of type DT_WSTR on both sides of the Join, the Dataviewer after the Join only shows the left side 2 key fields having values populated but both fields from the right hand side as being NULL. The Dataviewers I put in before the join show both sides of the join fields being populated ( 2 sides x 2 fields ). If I remove one of the fields from the join it shows both fields from the left side and the right side of the join being populated . I am trying to knock out duplicate values from the insert using 'genuine' Nulls from the right hand side so I need both parts of the 'Key'. I have checked the adnvanced tab that ignores Case etc but has had no effect.
I am using the technique from here : http://www.sqlis.com/311.aspx
Is this an SSIS bug ??? It is driving me up the wall.
HI All,I have started sqlserver in single user mode and changed filename in sysaltfiles for tempdb too point to new location. While starting sqlserver in normal it points to the old path and doesnt get updated with the new path.1.)is there any systable still to be altered???2.) i have even tried alter database, doesnt work.3.)The master files have been taken from server1 (where tempdb points to d:data) to server2 ( where i need to point tempdb to point E:mssqldata). i can detach and attach msdb and model successfully, but in the case of tempdb, i cant either alter sysaltfiles or detach and attach tempdb to new path., too tired in trying all the possiblities... Is there any possibility to update tempdb to point to new path???
i've made a report containing a subreport. the subreport is in a table. the table headers should repeat. but if the subreport expands more than one site, the table header doesnt repeat.
okay. i could place the table header in report header, but in report header i cant use fields from a dateset.
hi, i hope this is the correct forum?i have developed a small asp.net 2.0 web site with vwd using sqlExpress which appears to just bean data file and a log file in my app_data directory. there are two databases, the users one that is created by the login manager and my own that i created to store data. this all works fine on my laptop. i have an xp-pro machine setup with IIS and the frontpage web extentions, i have also installed the .net framework v2.0 on it and done all the windows updates. i have given app_data read/write access for the aspnet and network service users.i used the copy site feature of vwd to install on the xp box and although the site seems to workwhen it needs to bind a gridview to my sqldatasource it gives an error Cannot open user default database. login failed.Loginfailed for user 'rlxpaspnet'Any ideas? i have googled and tried all sorts, but to no avail, so i throw my self on your mercy!Cheers,russ
Hello, I tried this and it doesnt work, I just started up the service with -T flag on default instance but I havent been able to start it with -T flag 1400 on named instances.
How can I Know that the directory MSSQL.4 is the MIRROR instance??
C:Archivos de programaMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.4MSSQLBinn>sqlservr.exe -T 1400 MIRROR
I tried LUCHOMIRROR, MSSQLSERVER$MIRROR
and It doesnt work
Thanks
Another question I have, in the documentation it says that mirroring is only for evaluation purposes and not for production environments, what does it suppose to mean? MSFT didnt test the mirroring feature enough? If its not suppoerted why its included..?
Microsoft support policies do not apply to the database mirroring feature in SQL Server 2005. Database mirroring is currently disabled by default, but may be enabled for evaluation purposes only by using trace flag 1400 as a startup parameter. (For more information about trace flags, see Trace Flags (Transact-SQL).) Database mirroring should not be used in production environments, and Microsoft support services will not support databases or applications that use database mirroring. Database mirroring documentation is included in SQL Server 2005 for evaluation purposes only, and the Documentation Policy for SQL Server 2005 Support and Upgrade does not apply to the database mirroring documentation.
I need info from 2 Tables. from the Table 2 I just need 1 column. When i ask for this column the output I get is data repeating themselve many times.
Distinct, should give me unique data, but is doesnt.... the code:
SELECT DISTINCT FSenddate, FSupplyIDName, FSupplyerNumber,FBillNo,FSourceBillNo,FItemName,FItemModel, FAuxQty,FAuxTaxPrice,FHeadSelfP0237 FROM vwICBill_26 WHERE FSenddate BETWEEN DATEADD(dd,-14,GETDATE()) AND GETDATE()
This code just works in Table1 (vwICBill_26)
but with table 2 (vwICBill_1)
SELECT DISTINCT vwICBill_26.FSenddate,vwICBill_26.FSupplyIDName, vwICBill_26.FSupplyerNumber,vwICBill_26.FBillNo, vwICBill_26.FSourceBillNo,vwICBill_26.FItemName, vwICBill_26.FItemModel,vwICBill_26.FAuxQty, vwICBill_26.FAuxTaxPrice,vwICBill_26.FHeadSelfP0237, vwICBill_1.FDate,vwICBill_1.FContractBillNo FROM vwICBill_26,vwICBill_1 WHERE vwICBill_26.FSenddate BETWEEN DATEADD(dd,-14,GETDATE()) AND GETDATE() AND vwICBill_1.FContractBillNo=vwICBill_26.FSourceBillNo
The last sentence is the problem I want that it shows me the data that is not equal. As soon as I implement the not equal it shows me the massive repeating data. I mean even without the last sentence I get this data output.
All together, I want a clear database output without data repeating. Any ideas how it may work without DISTINCT?
I think this problem is a typical amateure problem, but I would apreciate help!

I am having the same problems as those in another post. SSIS package works fine when executed in BIDS and through execute package utility but it doesnt work when executed as a step in a job.
The other problem is that the logging also doesnt work when i try executing it as a job. So I have no clue about what to do without knowing what error it is. When I run the job it simply says the step has failed.
I have tried most of the solutions posted in other websites most of them to do with using proxies with credentials but havent hit a solution. I would love to get any input on what to do.

in both vs2008 I added a ReportViewer control to my WinForm, intending to render an RS 2005 report remotely. In the design pane (Report Viewer Tasks Popup) I specify <server report>, URL http://server name/reportserver$instance name path /folder/report name
I started getting a msg saying "the source of the report definition has not been specified". If I hit refresh, the report renders. Before I started playing with the designer setting, and only had the c# stuff specified, I wouldnt even get the message, the control would appear with all RS buttons (eg page forward arrow etc) disabled.
Does anybody know why the message is appearing and how to get c#'s settings to work immediately like designer settings?
I just upgraded to SQL server 2005 and some of my Openrowset to Oracle doesnt work. I found out that the issue occur with field with structure Numeric.
The issue is not solve even when I try to cast the field to varchar. sometimes it succeeded and sometimes I get error 7320 & 7321.
While installing SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition on Windows Vista Ultimate the setup alerts me "there are known compatibility problems, please install SP2 after this". So ok, all went nice and installed without error. IIS 7 installed fully, so all green in setup display. (But after installation i do not see any service which begins with SQL***...) At the end, the setup wanted to start the administration Tool. Ok, but my name was not listed, so i could not add me to the permitted users. I can not use any tool, because i have no rights.
Some Ideas?
