Check Space Left
Sep 13, 2007Hi,
I understand that the Express Edition can create databases up to a size of 4GB. Is there a way to check the space left for a particular database via C++?
Thanks in advance.

Here is one of the MCDBA exam question.
Does anyone explain how to do the following?
I click new alert, and selected 'Sql server performance condition alert' Type
But I don't know which object and counter I should choose to get disk space left.
Thank you..
Q: You are the administrator of Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server computer. The server is also
running SQL Server 2000 and contains a database named Sales. The server is configured as shown in
the exhibit.
The sales database is configured by using the default options and increases by 50MB per day. You
want an operator to be notified automatically before the database runs out of disk space. You also
want to minimize the amount of administrative overhead necessary for this database.
What should you do?
A:
Configure systems monitor to log an alert if the hard disk database contains less than 600MB of disk
space. Configure SQL server agent to send an e-mail message notifying the operator of the system
monitor alert.
Explanation: The solution with least administrative effort is to set up a system monitor alert to log when
disk space is below a certain threshold, here 600MB. Then configure the SQL Server agent to trap this event
and send an e-mail notifying the operator when this occurs.
Note: Using SQL Server Agent, you can define alerts and configure responses to alerts.
SQL Server Agent monitors the Windows application log and compares each SQL Server event logged with
the alerts that have been defined. If a match is found, an event alert fires. SQL Server Agent can also
monitor specific SQL Server performance object counters and fire a performance condition alert when the
value for the counter is less than, equal to, or greater than a defined threshold. The Create Alert Wizard can
be used to configure the SQL Server agent for alerts.
How to remove space left to right and right to left
If I give limit >60 for first 60 character; limit 60< second 60 character
Result would be check if space at 60 character if yes remove and go the 59 character check then space remove and 58 character check if there is charater then display
As well as after 60 character to till 120 for right space
My Source column as the data as below
7479 SHAN
3203 RAJAN
4803 HARIHAAN
Expected result
SHAN
RAJAN
HARIHAAN
Get the data after ' ' space
After an INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM ... query (and after waiting for ~40 minutes) I got the following errors:
Code Snippet
Msg 1105, Level 17, State 2, Line 1
Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.SORT temporary run storage: 164288922910720' in
database 'tempdb' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files,
dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup.
Msg 9002, Level 17, State 4, Line 1
The transaction log for database 'tempdb' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused,
see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases
I checked the space in the disk partition and it has only 10MBs left, so clearly there isn't enough space left.
I need a quick solution, and since I know nothing about logs and db backups in SQL Server, I thought to install SQL Server 2005 in another PC with a 30GBs primary partition for XP and applications and a 350GBs empty partition which would be enough for log files. So my question is how to setup SQL Server 2005 to use that big partition.
hi, I have a customer that I look after the server for, they have a scanning system that runs with sql server they have started getting the message below despite 30gb of free space any ideas on a fix?

How can i rebuild index ?
Hi There
As part of monitoring i want to hourly check the data file percentage used for each database, to monitor growth and know in advance when a data file will be full.
However i do not want to write a job for ever single database , this instance may have up to 100 databases that = 100 jobs.
So i want to write a job that checks the percentage space used for all databases.
My first dilema is that i cannot loop through databases dynamically, by that i mean if i use a cursor that loops through database names, and i dynamically build sql the say 'USE @DBNAME' and execute it the cursor context stays local you do not actually change database context.
So how do i loop though databases, i have found
sp_msforeachdb, however this is undocumented in BOL.
Secondly how do i check the percentage of space used for the data file or files for a database, i could use DBCC SHOWFILESTATS, however this is also not documented in BOL.
Obviously i would rather use documented methods.
So bottom line what tsql could i use to check the percentage of file space use for all databases?
Thanx
how can i check how much space is allocated to the database in SQL Server

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a table PLACE with a character column CODE
[Code] [nchar](4) NULL
I need to left pad the column with 0 if it is less than 4 characters long and extract the first 2 characters on the left into a new column COUNTY_CODE.
How can I do that in transact SQL?
I tried:
   Â
SELECT Â RIGHT(RTRIM('0000'+ISNULL([Code],'')),4) Â Â Â
  FROM [Place]
  WHERE [Place Code]='B' and [Code]='627'
And I got 0627. And how do I extract the first 2 characters?
Anyone know why using
SELECT *
FROM a LEFT OUTER JOIN b
ON a.id = b.id
instead of
SELECT *
FROM a LEFT JOIN b
ON a.id = b.id
generates a different execution plan?
My query is more complex, but when I change "LEFT OUTER JOIN" to "LEFT JOIN" I get a different execution plan, which is absolutely baffling me! Especially considering everything I know and was able to research essentially said the "OUTER" is implied in "LEFT JOIN".
Any enlightenment is very appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,
I am trying to do this:

Any help appreciated.

I am generating a Report from Sql Data Source in Sql Server 2005 and viewing the Report in Report viewer control of Visual Studio 2005.
The data in the Data Source contains string with multiple spaces (for example €œ Test String €œ) but when they get rendered in Report viewer control, multiple spaces gets converted to single space €? Test String €œ.
I tried following solutions
1) Replacing spaces with €œ €?
2) Inserting <pre> tag before the string and </pre> tag after the string (Also tried <Pre> instead of <pre>)
But in all the cases result is same. The Report Viewer control is showing €œ €? instead of space and €œ<Pre>€? tag instead of preserving spaces.
Please provide me a solution so that spaces can be preserved in Report Viewer.

Hi.. I was doing a good maintenance on my DB and my trans log LDF keep growing until 30GB but my DB data file MDF is only 2GB. I found the two following method to reduce my log size.
Method 1: I used veritas to backup log file with truncate
Method 2: I used the shrink database option in Enterprises manager to shrink it (file chosen=log , use default option)
After doing that, I found my LDF log file is still about the same size=27GB but when I see clearly, from the shrink database windows, the log spaced used reduced to only 100MB, the allocation log space is still 27GB. Why? How to make the LDF smaller to be the around the same size as the space used 100MB?
This is driving me bananas. Can't find any info on this anywhere....SQL 2000 seems to replace double space with a single space when I seta varchar field to " " (2spaces), it only stores " " (1space). Whyon earth would microsoft do this? If I save 2 spaces - I WANT TO SEE2 SPACES!!!!Can anyone help? Is this a database setting? Is this due to usingvarchar?Any help appreciated.Colin Hale

Hello,
Somebody know how to reduce the space allocated for the transaction log space for my SQL_DB ?
3700 MB allocated but only 100 MB used and 3600 MB are free !
Transaction log properties :
Automatically grow file are filled
file growth by percent = 5%
maximum file size - restrict filegrowth = 3700 MB (we can't reduce it !)
Thank you for your precious help !

I'm trying to join 2 tables. I thought I was getting the correct results but it turns out I'm not.
My Query:
SELECT IVINVA, IVORDN, IVCSLN, IVRESR, IVCITM, CONVERT(varchar(12),CAST(IVIAMT as money),1) AS ExtPrice, CONVERT(varchar(12),CAST(IVPIVC as money),1) AS DistPrice, IVCSUM, IVQYCS, IVDESC, OIRESR, OIDPCT, CONVERT(varchar(12),CAST(IVPIVC - (OIDPCT / 100 * IVPIVC) as money),1) AS NetPrice FROM INVDET1_TBL LEFT JOIN ORDDIS_TBL ON ORDDIS_TBL.OIORDN = INVDET1_TBL.IVORDN AND ORDDIS_TBL.OIRESR = INVDET1_TBL.IVRESR WHERE IVORDN = '0859919' AND IVINVA = '00324024'
Basically, my problem lies in the seonc condition of the LEFT JOIN. I needed to set the two tables equal my item number, because in some situations I need that logic to get the correct result. It most other cases, that item column in the ORDDIS_TBL is NULL, thus giving me the wrong results. In that case, I would want the JOIN to only be ORDDIS_TBL.OIORDN = INVDET1_TBL.IVORDN, and not include the second part. Is there a way I can condition this with an If statement, If ORDDIS_TBL.OIRESR is Null then do this join, if not, then do this? I'm confused how to get the proper result here.
What is the syntax of left triming characters seperated by space.

and i want elsie to go to one field and reed in another field i do not want to use numbers because they don't all have the same numbers but are all seperated by spaces
I need to make a left join from the freezefile f, to sped s, instead of having f.studentid = s.id in the where clause. Any help??
select f.studentid, f.studentname, f.sex, fs.mealstatus, s.except, s.lre, r.description, g.testid, g.scale_la, g.scale_ma, t.test_name, t.year
from freezefile f, fsapps fs, sped s, regtb_exception r, gqe_scores g, test_info t
where
f.type = 'ADM'
and
s.except = r.code
and
t.test_name = 'ISTEP'
and
t.year = 2004
and
g.testid = t.testid
and
f.studentid = fs.id
and
f.studentid = s.id
and
f.studentid = g.studentid
To the wise,
This may be a very simple problem but it's been racking may brains for a while and I just can't seem to think it through clearly.
I'm trying to return a query which uses a left join and where. I'm hoping to get a result set which shows - let us says all the departments in a company. I would like to see all the department but only the names of department heads that earn 20.000+.
In MS Access I used a subquery. My subquery returned only departments with department heads that earned 20.000+ - I then left joined the departments table to that query - no problem.
With MSSQL I've tried IN, ANY, ALL but my result sets only returns the departments that earn 20.000+ and the employees for those particular departments.
I'm thinking there must be some way of doing this without having to use a union clause.
Thanks for taking the time to read this message through.
Sincerely,
Arthur Lambiris
