Cannot Shrink Log File 2 Because Files Are In Use.
May 24, 2004after backup the log with truncate_only,
dbcc shrinkdatabase('ABC', 10)
failed with following error:
Cannot shrink log file 2 (ABC_Log) because all logical log files are in use.
I have put above statements with a job running every night, just got the same error on shrinkdatabase.
Is there a way to shrink the log without stop-restart the sql server?

Why Truncate / Shrink Log Files Work The Way They Do???
Nov 13, 2007I've been having some trouble keeping my log file size under control due to some off-hours data loads. Currently, while updating some certain tables, the data base is still in "Full" mode, which of course makes the log file grow accordingly.
Today I figured out that, given the current scenario, in order to shrink the log file back down (after the table update), I have to (1) backup the log file, (2) shrink the log file, (3) backup the log file again, and (4) shrink the log file again. My question is: why do I have to do two iterations of backup / shrink? Why does it not work with one iteration? I just want to better understand the architecture and functionality.
Also, would there be a better way for keeping the log file size under control? If I switched the database to "Simple" mode to load the data, would that work any better?
If so, what might be the best methodology?
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Jan 10, 2012I am trying to reorganise the log files on a server, (long story short they are fragmented so I want to shrink and reset the initial size and growth) and I am unable to shrink them. When I run the following:
use test
DBCC SHRINKFILE(test_log, TRUNCATEONLY)
--or
use
DBCC SHRINKFILE(test_log,2, TRUNCATEONLY)
I get the following message:
Msg 8985, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Could not locate file 'test_log' for database 'test' in sys.database_files. The file either does not exist, or was dropped.
I get this message for every database on the server. I got the logical name of the file using sp_helpfile and have checked it against sys.masterfiles, sys.database_files and sys.sysaltfiles, all match up and confirm the name 'test_log'.
I rebooted the server last night and was able to shrink the first couple of .ldf's I tried so I presumed it was fixed. This morning when I try again i get the sanme error, I don't see anything in the SQL server or system logs that indicates a change.
I am able to add new log files and remove log files, however if I add a new log file (test_log2) and then try and truncate that file I get the same error.
Temp DB Files
Jan 2, 2000Using SQL Server 7 I have the following files hanging out and I'm not sure what they are for or if I can delete them.
My data and logs are on the same RAID 5 drives. They are located in the E:DATA and E:LOGS directories.
I have the following files on the root of my E: drive
tempdbData.ndf
tempdbLog.ndf
tempdbData1.ndf
tempdbLog1.ndf
this goes on up to tempdbData4.ndf. The data files are large up to 2 GBytes. The dates are not current except for the last 2 sequential files.
Anybody know what they are there for and my I delete any of these files?
Thanks and Thanks again......
Best Way To Clean Up Temp Files
Mar 13, 2006I have a custom Data Flow task that creates temp files to the system temp directory during processing. A lot of times, we'll use SSIS to do one data transformation, running and tweaking the package along the way... we do this in the designer ... if we notice something that's incorrect in the data view, we just hit the stop button and fix it. However, when we do this, the Cleanup() function isn't called, and my temp files are left in the temp directory, when they really ought to be disposed of.
Is there a method that gets called every time when the DtsDebugHost quits, whether it finished, didn't finish properly, or was stopped in the middle? What would be a good way (other than having some service that monitors what temp files are used by what processes) to clean up temp files after we don't need them?

Why Have SQLCE... Files Under Temp Folder
Mar 14, 2007I am developing application with SQLCE2.0, NETCF1.0,Sp1,VS2003.
I found there is some files are created under "Temp" folder by the system with size "0B".
Why/when these file are created? Do I need to clean it periodicly? If not, will this cause exception like "Not enough storage is available to complete this operation"?

Optimize For Many Tables And Temp Files
Mar 8, 2006We are using the Import/Export wizard to create some simple packages to transfer tables. When doing a lrge number of tables, the 'Optimize for many tables' option is automatically selected (as noted in BOL). What we've found is that the package creates a bunch of temp files in the creator's Documents and Settings....Temp folder. Needless to say this package cannot be re-run later, nor scheduled, since the path referenced doesn't necessarily exist on the server. Is there a way to specify where these files should be created so thatthe package is re-usable and still be optimized?

SSIS Create Large Temp Files!!!
Oct 22, 2007
Hello,
I created a SSIS solution for reading data from dbase and storing them in SQL Server. In a ForEachDirectory-Loop up to one thousand dbase files are read and stored. The system where the packages are running has 16 GB RAM.
For the first few hundred dbase files everything goes fine, but then, the RAM seems not to suffice any more and a temp file is created (I changed the path in BufferTempStoragePath).
How can it be that there is a need to create temp files if there is so much RAM available?
Why is the RAM filled more and more during the SSIS package execution?
Is there anything I can do to release some of it? (it is running in a loop and there is no need to store all the data)
Could it be caused by dbase?? (I use Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider)
Another thing is that the temp file is not stored in the path I set in BufferTempStoragePath.
There are sufficient permissions set, but temp file is still created in user temp folder...
Any kind of help is very much appreciated!
Best Regards,
Stefan
Sort Transformation Makes A Lot Of Temp Files
May 29, 2007Hi all,
I have a problem with a Sort Transformation, I have a CSV file with 200'000 rows the csv file is about 30Mb. When the rows are processed in the Sort Transformation, SSIS generates around 160 temp files of about 10Mb each.
How can avoid so many temp files to be generated ?
SQL 2012 :: Import Excel XLSX Files Into Temp Table
Feb 18, 2014I am having with trying to import XLSX files into SQL 2012 64 Bit.
I have installed the Access driver (AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe)
I have configured the script to run the following SP
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OverRide
GO
sp_configure 'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', 1
[Code] ....
So I first create my Temp Table
The run the SP above then I run the insert into the Temp table defined
INSERT INTO tempdb.dbo.TempTRBZ (IsNew,CoID, Zip, City, County,StateCode,Rate,Taxable,TaxShip,TaxLab,CountryID,StateID)
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET( 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0','EXCEL 12.0;Database=C:TempNotInTrbzJan.xlsx;HDR=YES','SELECT * FROM [Data$]')
[Code] ....
The error message I get back is
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)".
What I have set wrong on the import? Using SSIS at this point is not a real option.
How To Shrink A Tranlog Which Won't Shrink
Jan 5, 2007If 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.
A Curious Error Message, Local Temp Vs. Global Temp Tables?!?!?
Nov 17, 2004Hi all,
Looking at BOL for temp tables help, I discover that a local temp table (I want to only have life within my stored proc) SHOULD be visible to all (child) stored procs called by the papa stored proc.
However, the following code works just peachy when I use a GLOBAL temp table (i.e., ##MyTempTbl) but fails when I use a local temp table (i.e., #MyTempTable). Through trial and error, and careful weeding efforts, I know that the error I get on the local version is coming from the xp_sendmail call. The error I get is: ODBC error 208 (42S02) Invalid object name '#MyTempTbl'.
Here is the code that works:SET NOCOUNT ON
CREATE TABLE ##MyTempTbl (SeqNo int identity, MyWords varchar(1000))
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('Put your long message here.')
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('Put your second long message here.')
INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('put your really, really LONG message (yeah, every guy says his message is the longest...whatever!')
DECLARE @cmd varchar(256)
DECLARE @LargestEventSize int
DECLARE @Width int, @Msg varchar(128)
SELECT @LargestEventSize = Max(Len(MyWords))
FROM ##MyTempTbl
SET @cmd = 'SELECT Cast(MyWords AS varchar(' +
CONVERT(varchar(5), @LargestEventSize) +
')) FROM ##MyTempTbl order by SeqNo'
SET @Width = @LargestEventSize + 1
SET @Msg = 'Here is the junk you asked about' + CHAR(13) + '----------------------------'
EXECUTE Master.dbo.xp_sendmail
'YoMama@WhoKnows.com',
@query = @cmd,
@no_header= 'TRUE',
@width = @Width,
@dbuse = 'MyDB',
@subject='none of your darn business',
@message= @Msg
DROP TABLE ##MyTempTbl
The only thing I change to make it fail is the table name, change it from ##MyTempTbl to #MyTempTbl, and it dashes the email hopes of the stored procedure upon the jagged rocks of electronic despair.
Any insight anyone? Or is BOL just full of...well..."stuff"?

Temp Tables Vs Temp Variables
Jul 20, 2005I have an application that I am working on that uses some small temptables. I am considering moving them to Table Variables - Would thisbe a performance enhancement?Some background information: The system I am working on has numeroustables but for this exercise there are only three that really matter.Claim, Transaction and Parties.A Claim can have 0 or more transactions.A Claim can have 1 or more parties.A Transaction can have 1 or more parties.A party can have 1 or more claim.A party can have 1 or more transactions. Parties are really many tomany back to Claim and transaction tables.I have three stored procsinsertClaiminsertTransactioninsertPartiesFrom an xml point of view the data looks like this<claim><parties><info />insertClaim takes 3 sets of paramters - All the claim levelinformation (as individual parameters), All the parties on a claim (asone xml parameter), All the transactions on a claim(As one xmlparameter with Parties as part of the xml)insertClaim calls insertParties and passes in the parties xml -insertParties returns a recordset of the newly inserted records.insertClaim then uses that table to join the claim to the parties. Itthen calls insertTransaction and passes the transaction xml into thatsproc.insertTransaciton then inserts the transactions in the xml, and alsocalls insertParties, passing in the XML snippet

Shrink DB
Jun 6, 2002I 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

Shrink Db
Jun 30, 1999Hi 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.
Why Is SQL DB So Big? Can I Shrink?
Jun 16, 2004Hello,
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.

To Shrink Or Not To Shrink ??
Nov 27, 2006Newbie 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.

10GB Log Won't Shrink
Sep 18, 2000Txn log is nearly 10GB with only 60MB actually used. Disk has 150MB remaining. SQL 7.0 SP2.
I've truncated the log several times. I'm aware that the active portion of the log can be at the end and have added many records to cycle the active portion round to the start of the log file. How big are these log segments?
I've run dbcc shrinkfile with and without a target size.
I've checked DBCC OPENTRAN. No open txns exist.
What else can I try? I've looked through similar postings and haven't spotted anything.
