Hi,
Is it possible to change the Autogrowth option of a database is none is set? I recieved an alert saying that one of the databases has 39.9% of freespace. Having checked the properties of the database, I noticed that the Autogrowth option had not been used.
The database is SQL 2005.
Thanks.

I am always changing the Sql Query Keywords to UpperCase and formatting the T-sql.
Is there a option so that i can change the keywords to uppercase automatically in the sql 2005 management studio ?
How do most of you format the sql statements?
Please let me know it will save me and most of us like me alot of time.
Your help will be most appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

I'm currently using SQL Server 2005. Before I have set my database on unrestricted auto growth. But today, I have noticed that the Log file has been set to limit its growth to 2,097,152 MB. I have 160GB space for my log files, I just want to maximize the space for logs in my hard drive.
When I try to change the settings back to auto growth it still keeps on returning to its previous setting it is still set on 2,097,152 MB. What I did was :
Right Click on the Database - Properties - Files - Click the (...) - set the auto growth option to unrestricted - Click Ok
But when I checked log file, it is still set on 2,097,152MB.
Can some one help me change the settings of my Database.
I am testing a msde 2000 sp4 database. (would like to use it against sqlserver 2005 later)
I need to turn the property for autogrowth on and check that an application alterts the user that it is on
and then off and verify the user is altered that it was set off.
I am not sure if this will work for mydb and mydblog
--turn off autogrowth
USE master
GO
ALTER DATABASE mydb
MODIFY FILE
(NAME = mydb,
FILEGROWTH = 0MB)
GO
--turn on autogrowth
USE master
GO
ALTER DATABASE mydb
MODIFY FILE
(NAME = mydb,
FILEGROWTH = 10MB)
GO
USE master
GO
ALTER DATABASE mydblog
MODIFY FILE
(NAME = mydblog,
FILEGROWTH = 0MB)
GO
--turn on autogrowth
USE master
GO
ALTER DATABASE mydblog
MODIFY FILE
(NAME = mydblog,
FILEGROWTH = 10MB)
GO
Also I need to know the t-sql for setting unrestricted growth on and off but I can not seem to find that.
Any help would be great.
We can not use enterprise manager so I'm planning to use osql thru a cmd prompt.
thanks

I have a SQL 2005 DB that its MDF file is growing at a rate of 1 GB per day, I currently have it set up to unrestricted growth by 500 MB. Should I increase that growth to 1 GB? what would the impact of this change be? what are best practices when it comes to setting up autogrowth for MDF and LDF files?
Thanks,
Carlos
Hi Guys,
Should I keep all my databases to have a standard growth size for the data and log files? What would be good practice?
Also should be be shrinking the log file every so often?

Hi!
We have 2 dbs on our dw-server and the autogrowth values for both the data- and logfiles on both of these dbs changes about once a month. The data autogrowth value changes from 10megs to a percentage value between 3200 and 6400 and the log-file value changes from 10 percent to a percentage value between 3200 and 6400. Resulting in huge files and filling the drive.
What am I missing here?

Whenever we restart the services on this one SQL server 2005 instance, the database autogrowth changes to grow by 2500%. We have to manually change the autogrowth of data file to some sane number. Has anyone faced this issue? We tried to put SP2 on but even that doesn't help. Any help would be appreciated
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi everyone In my SqlServer Management Studio Express, on start up it shows the server type option, but greyed.So that value is fixed to database engine. ( I'm trying to work on an SqlServer Compact Edition database through the SSMStudiothat's why I'm trying to get this to change.)Besides, after I connect i go to the Object Explorer, expand the server node, and go to Replication.When i expand replication, i get the "Local Subscription" option, but nothng for Publication.( I want to work on Merge Replication, that's why I desparately need Publication to work)Am i missing something here? I did not install SqlServer separately, I only have what comes bundled with the Visual Studio 2005 Setup.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I need to write a script to look for available free space percentage in my databases, but I only want it to look at capped files. We consider a file with autogrowth off as capped for our purposes.
This is my problem: in sys.database_files and sys.master_files, if I have autogrowth off then max_size is -1, which is the same value as unlimited growth.
I cannot find another setting anywhere to determine how SQL Server recognizes that a particular file is set to not allow autogrowth. Any setting in a DMV anywhere where I can see whether autogrowth is disabled or not?
give me query or script to find autogrowth setting of all databases in instance

2 of the secondary data files had its autogrowth enabled to unrestricted with 200MB and 3 of the data files including primary had its Autogowth turned OFF. Application use is complaining that there is no internal freespace on the DB.
What fails to understand us is that when the Auto growth was already TURNED OFF on 3 data files ( 1 primary and 2 secondary ) still why was the application trying to increase the space on the .mdf and .ndf files; as well when the Autogrowth is TURNED ON on 2 of the secondary data files, why was the DB not able to expand these file groups when the autogrowth is already turned off on 3 of its  other files.
What more data i need to ensure i submit an analysis to this.
So I started a new job recently and have noticed a few strange configurations. Typically I would never mess with min memory per query option and index create memory option configuration because i just haven't seen any need to. My typical thought is that if it isn't broke... They have been modified on every single server in my environment.
From Books Online:
• This option is an advanced option and should be changed only by an experienced database administrator or certified SQL Server technician.
• The index create memory option is self-configuring and usually works without requiring adjustment. However, if you experience difficulties creating indexes, consider increasing the value of this option from its run value.
Trying to determine what the minimum permissions i can grant to a user so they can see the change tracking data
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe ran into weird/interesting issue with below details.
Version:Â Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3000.0 (X64)Â Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.2 <X64> (Build 9200):
We are using SQLCMD to run DDL script on our product database in below order. That script has below content.
step # 1 - database collation change (case -sensitive) statement as very first statement of the script
step # 2 - Actual DDL SQL statements
step # 3 - database collation change back to original (case insensitive)
When we execute all above 3 steps in single script using SQLCMD on our test_server#1 , it is successful but when same is being implemented on test_ server#2 , it is failing.We ensured that there is no other user accessing the db and setting on both the server are all default/basic. Separating out all 3 steps in 3 different script working fine. This is only problem when we combine them into single script and fire it using SQLCMD. If it is something related to session/transaction then we should hit same issue on our test_server#1 server as well but that is not the case.test_server#1 and test_server#2 has exact same database/data, just two different physical machine & SQL Server instance.
I have a table name “StringResources� which contains resources for different cultures. Right now, whenever admin adds any new resource, it immediately available to end user. Now the new requirement came up. We want admin to add resource first and when he is ready with all the resources for particular culture then only the resources should be available to end user.
Important: StringResource table has SQLCacheDependecy set. So any change for particular culture will invalidate the cache. This how the select statement looks.SELECT dbo.StringResources.resourceType, dbo.StringResources.cultureCode, dbo.StringResources.resourceKey, dbo.StringResources.resourceValue FROM dbo.StringResources
WHERE dbo.StringResources.cultureCode=@cultureCode
Which would be the best option below:
1> Add new Boolean column “Published� and show only resources which are published to end user.
Advantage: No need of extra table.
Disadvantage: This will invalidate the cache every time resource is added even if it’s not published.
Other option
2> Add new temporary table with same structure. When admin add new resource, add it to this temp table and when publish move resources to String Resources table.
Advantage: Admin will have separate working space. It will invalidate cache only when resources are published.
Disadvantage: Need extra table.

I have a small doubt.
If we enable AWE option we can have advantage of available physical memory.we can have more memory by using max server memory property.
then why this AWE option comes in to picture.
I read bol but iam not able to understand what exactly happens.
Could any one tell me why this AWE option if we have max server memory property.

Im trying to transfer data from SQL tbl to .xls file through a DTS package.
My problem is that DTS transfers all the data from the source tbl to .xls
file.
But i would like to have the selective data transfer based on some query like ;

instead of complete data transfer.
Thanks in advance.

70-229 certification exam measures your ability to design and implement database solutions by using Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition. Candidates for this exam work in a medium to enterprise computing environment that uses SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition. Candidates have at least one year of experience implementing relational databases. I don't have experience on database. Haven't experience on SQL server administration. Suggest me good one resources in low price. What are best option available in market?
View 2 Replies View RelatedFirst off, I apologize for not knowing what I'm talking about and being long winded. I'm trying to determine if SQL Server Express is an option for a client of mine. Their needs are beginning to go beyond what I'm comfortable with in Access, so I'm looking into the option of upgrading to a SQL Server Express back-end with a VB front-end.
Access doesn't require any setup beyond "File, new", so I know nothing about the background work required to get a database running on a platform like SQL Server.
My first concern is what kind of network admin rights do I need to install & use SSE..
It's unlikely that her IT group will just hand us the keys to any of their servers, so all we really have available is what we can put on her network drives. Am I right in assuming that using a SQL Server database would involve more network privileges than just dropping a file on the network and pointing my front end app at it?
With that said, I think I remember seeing something on one of the MSDN pages about setting up a database to run off of a CD-Rom. Could I somehow use this capability to get what I need?
Hello all
I would like to add a couple more fields that the users can query by, more options how would I add in the same stored proecedure, First Name, Date, and IR#?? so they can have the ability to run it by one field or two fields or all the above?? how would I incorporate those in the stored procedure??
CREATE PROCEDURE [SearchByDateExcls]
(@StartDate datetime,
@EndDate datetime)
AS SELECT [IR Number], Date, Inspector, Violation, [Violation Type], Loss, [Loss Type]
FROM dbo.Revised_MainTable
GROUP BY [IR Number], Date, Inspector, Violation, [Violation Type], Loss, [Loss Type]
HAVING (Date BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate)
is this correct
CREATE PROCEDURE [SearchByDateExcls]
(@StartDateServed datetime,
@EndDateServed datetime, @Enter_LastName nvarchar(25), @Enter_Duration nvarchar(10))
AS SELECT IR#, [Date Served], [Reason For Exclusion], Duration, [First Name], [Last Name]
FROM [dbo].[Extended Exclusions]
GROUP BY IR#, [Date Served], [Reason For Exclusion] , Duration, [First Name], [Last Name]
HAVING (Date BETWEEN @StartDateServed AND @EndDateServed, Enter_LastName, @Enter_Duration)
Hi,
I was sreading about NOLOCK that it could prevent deadlocks but could return data which is not committed yet.
1) Should we use NOLOCK with select statements
2) If the transaction isolation level is set appropriately (e.g. Serializable)in the component (for e.g COM+ component) but NOLOCK is specified in the select then would it return uncommitted data. I mean if the transaction is controlled at hihger level then what will be the Pros and Cons of using NOLOCK.
Thanks
