Does anyone know at what point SQL Server 7.0 decides to grow the database when the autogrow option is set? Our site just went down for 45 minutes because the growing process was taking too long as compared to the data coming in, so the device filled up.
Ray? Craig? You guys seem to know all, so jobs.com appreciates your input...
Hi ALL
I have question about database automatically growing for SQL Server 7. It seems to me that SQL database automatically grow will ONLY happen when it's getting really full, maybe above 90% full. Even if you manually increase the DB size, actually the increased DB size will only keep very short time. And DB size will be back to the smaller size again. If you have any suggestions I will be really appreciated. Thanks
We have a database that's growing pretty fast because of firewall logs. We need the data available via an asp.net application. I don't have great experience with SQL other than installing and doing some development as a back end, so i'm wondering if there's a general rule of thumb of database size, when you should start breaking it out into smaller segments? if so, what are some good practices?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a database that seems to have grown out of control. I have tried deleting tables, but that has not really reduced the size. What could have caused the database to grow this big and what can I do to reduce it's size. I have backed up, truncated the logs, ran the shrink database command, all to no avail. Pleas help.

I understand that the '_W' objects are statisical information for query performance and not indexes, but does anybody know how much disk space is actually used by these objects. I do have the 'auto create statistics' and 'auto update statistics' set on.

Hi All.I'm currently maintaining 4 servers - 1 for public/customers and 3for backups, development, etc...I regularly backup the entire SQL database for our public server andrestore it on each of the other servers. Lately, however, the databasebackups have grown (in size) incredibly fast - they've gone from about200MB to 2+ GB in 2 months. (I wasn't entirely surprised by this atfirst since our client traffic has drastically increased as well.) Theweird thing, though, is that (on two of the backup servers) when Irestore the backup then use those servers to create a new completebackup, the new backup is only about 200-300 MB in size.My assumption is that there's some kind of setting buried deep insidethe sql configuration allowing it to compress or otherwise alterbackups. Does anyone have any ideas/thoughts as to what may be causingthis issue?We're using SQL Server 7 on Windows 2000 servers.Thanks in advance.GreggJoin Bytes!
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe're a very small company, I’m the “technical” director who has evolved enough skill in a wide variety of tasks (network setup, machine config, email systems, html, asp, database...) and then one day you notice that parts of the system are starting to get way more complex and troublesome than the layman knowledge you have can cope with... Well, I think I’ve got to that point and I need some outside help to get our system to the next level!
OK, some rough details to start with. We run a small but fast-growing vehicle tracking system that sends back a LOT of data via GPRS to our SQL 2000 Enterprise server hosted on a dedicated server in London. The physical machine is a P4 3.2Ghz Dual-core Dell rackmount with 2GB RAM and 2 x 76GB SCSI disks in a RAID 1 array. This is partitioned into a 15GB C: partition and a 51GB D: partition. The system paging file is set to be 1536MB and is on the C: partition. The server is used for everything we do... it runs Smartermail email server (only about 5 or 6 domains and a few users, hardly used at all), SQL server as mentioned, web server & the proxy software that receives incoming data from our tracking devices.
There are 9 or 10 active databases on the SQL server. 8 of them take up less than a gigabyte between them and are sparingly used. The main “active” database on the SQL server is the tracking system – and this is big... As our tracking devices send in data every 10 – 30 seconds, the database is hit with hundreds of thousands of events per day. On a weekday, some half a million rows of data are written to the main “events” table on the database. Over 7 days from 26th November to 2nd December, almost exactly 3 million rows of data were written to the events table. We undertake to hold 3 months or so of data “live” for our customers and I periodically archive data off. I’ve been too busy to archive recently and the database is holding data on the events table going back to July 1st. The physical .mdf file is just under 30GB on partition d: at present. The plan is to drop the active data stored to only 1 – 2 months, but this still leaves a 12GB .mdf file.
The worrying thing with this is that this is only 700 or so devices writing to us at present... we aim to have thousands out there soon! We are looking into how we can hugely improve system performance and look to the future. Our hosting company is recommending VMWare virtual servers and SAN storage, but I’m not entirely sure that is the best way forward.
Our non-tech MD thinks the way forward is to have one database per customer and can't understand when I tell him I think that's bad as it will create all the system tables and bits & pieces for EVERY customer if we do that, right? Also it would be a nightmare to add a new column to a table as I'd have to update every single version of the database too... I want to avoid this unless I'm missing something and this is actually the best way to go forward?
I've had someone mention horizontal partitioning to me? not sure what implications this has to coding and table naming? Or is it all one big database spread among separate servers?
Currently our server is drowning on disk access and it's only going to get worse... any suggestions or links to reading online that I can do would be great, thanks!

View 6 Replies View RelatedI upgraded from SQL 6.5 to SQL 7 last month, and so far, everything's
been going fine.
However, I'm not using my old SQL 6.5 backup scripts, which, when the
backup was done, would dump the transaction log with TRUNCATE_ONLY, shrinking
the log size.
My SQL 7 server is set up with a Maintenance Plan which does everything,
including backup, but the log file seems to be growing and growing. I'm
up to 4.5 gigs now, for a database with a data file of 3.5 gigs.
How do I "dump transaction with TRUNCATE_ONLY" on a SQL 7 database?

I have merge replication setup up for 6 SQLCE Subscribers.
I have noticed that the MSmerge_tombstone table is growing
at a fast rate regardless of any changes to the data in
the database. It seems to be consistantly adding 50 rows
of data to the table every 2 minutes. As the table grows
it causes the SQLCE subscirbers to fail with the following
message:
ERROR: -2147467259
SQL Server Reconciler failed: Run
ERROR: -2147200925
: Failed to enumerate changes in the filtered
articles.
ERROR: 0
: {call sp_MSsetupbelongs
(?,?,?,?,?,0,?,?,1,?,?,?,?,?,?)}
ERROR: 0
: The merge process timed out while executing a
query. Reconfigure the QueryTimeout parameter and retry
the operation.
I'm sure that this is due to the size of the
MSmerge_tombstone.
Should the MSmerge_tombstone table grow at this rate?
36,000 rows every 24hrs!
I understand there is the sp_mergecleanupmetadata Stored
procedure but if i use this does that mean that because i
have to reinitialise all the subscribers, they are going
to have to pull down the whole subscription again.
I have since Changed a settings to make subscription
expiration date to 8 days instead of never expires but
we're still getting 50 rows added every 2 minutes

Hope someone can shed some light on this for me.

I am setting up SQL audit on sql servers in my environment based on requirement. I want to create database specifications ASAP database created. I tried DDL trigger but Audit doesn't support triggers. So I created audit specifications on model database. the only problem with this is every specification created on new database with same name.database specification name includes newly created database name or other methods to create database specifications on newly created databases.

This problem is reproducable, Running a trace on it from profiler is what comes to my mind. Is there any other suggestion.....

Our auditors are trying to enforce a requirement that all users be disconnected from any application or database after 15 minutes of inactivity. Is there any way to force a logoff within SQL Server? For example, someone is in Management Studio connected to a database. They should be logged off after 15 minutes of no activity.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I create a setup program for my vb.net 1.0 app which has embedded sql express database, it successfully copies the database to the new machine alone with the upgraded app.
However, if I just copy the vb.exe app to the other pc and also copy the mdf, ldf files, I get an error opening the sql database.
I am presuming that the setup program does some kind of backup restore or detach, attach to copy in the .mdf.
If the user cannot do this from the management studio (or if they do not have the management studio installed), is there any way I can create some method to have this copying done automatically via some code by the user?

For a GPS utility project we are planning on extracting certain attributes from a huge "GPS Raw Data" read only database which we have access to containing GPS data from several years from several devices attached to vehicles.The data is time stamped. Where the time gap between pieces of data is more than 10 minutes, a new trip is instance is assumed and in our write access "Trip" database we create a new instance for the data clump with a new trip id along with the time range of the data. The process is to be run hourly to update the "Trip" database with new trips and append to overlapping trips. We've some questions:a) Is it easy to read from one database and write into another in c# hourlyb) How would one go about running a C# program automatically every hour on the server?c) Is there a better way to do this than an hourly update? (dynamically perhaps??)d) When querying the database and comparing the time stamps, how for instance would we go about identifying a 10 minute gap when the time/date is in the format "22/12/2007 11:25:00". I can't get my head around actually writing this - it's probably ridiculously simple

I have a database that I have made with Sql Server 2005 Express. I am building a windows app using this db as the back end. I am using visual C# Express as well.
I found out during this project that I had to detach my database in order to establish a new connection to it using the express editions. I learned that this is a short coming of the Sql Server 2005 Express Edition. So I detached my db. When I reattached my database the name had the path to where the file was in it's name. I don't think I have done anything to cause this. But, obviously something went wrong.I have a jpeg screenshot of this but can't post it in this forum.
I created another small database as a test to see if the same thing would happen again. The database only has one table with two columns. I detached and then reattached it with no problems. It did not get the weird file name that automatically included the path to the file.
Does any one know what is going on with this? Do you know how I can reattach this database and only have the original name(not the path to the file)?
Thanks

Hello!
I have created my self a person website in VS2008 using Linq and ahev downloaded a copy of sql express to use as my database when working on it at home.
I have just noticed, now I am trying to upload it to a server that my sql express is automatically creating the database in my app_data folder, this is causing me problems, as I don't want it to do this. I want it to be able to point it at a full version of SQL server.
Is there some setting I have missed? Of how can I stop tis automatic creation of the database?
Thanks

Hi guys,
I need to update one table in database A based on the other database B, which is on a romote server. The requirement is to update it automatically at 12:00 in the mid-night everyday. Database A is MS SQL Server 7, and database B is Oracle database.
What's the best to implement it? I thinking to use trigger, am I right?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

We have two SQL 2012 servers, sever A and B.
We need to sync a database on A so that there is a copy of it on B.
We need to be able to query both databases so mirroring isn't an option.
hi e'body:
I have some database tables, and each one of them have a creation_date and modified_date in them. I was trying to figure out a way where when a row in one of these tables is changed using Enterprise Manager (Database -> Tables -> select table -> right click -> select all rows -> change a field in a row inside a table), is there a way apart from triggers, such that the "modified_date" column for that row get changed to 'getdate()' (rather picks up the current datetime).
thanks in advance.

how to retrive image from database change automatically into time interval

How to use date/time function inside detailed view, insert template.
Thanks.
our clients have the flexibility to detach and attach databases (I know there are a lot of considerations around this but there is now way of changing it), once they attach a database we need to run some code to update a bunch of values in the database.
Other than creating a SQL Agent job are there any other options available to automatically execute a script once the database has been attached?
I come cross some post about how to backup a database in Sql Server Management Studio Express automatically. The scripts look like as below
USE [master]
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_BackupDatabase]
@databaseName sysname
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE @sqlCommand NVARCHAR(1000)
DECLARE @dateTime NVARCHAR(20)
SELECT @dateTime = REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(),111),'/','') +
REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(),108),':','')
SET @sqlCommand = 'BACKUP DATABASE ' + @databaseName +
' TO DISK = ''C:Backup' + @databaseName + '_Full_' + @dateTime + '.BAK'''
EXECUTE sp_executesql @sqlCommand
END
It throws that the DDL statement is not allowed. What's wrong with it?
