Checking Disk Space
May 14, 2008Another question...
I need to check the space available on a specific disk (D on a remote server, again, this task will be executed from an SSIS package, if I have less than 60GB available, I have to delete some files.
How would you guys do this using VB.NET? If I had SQL Server installed on that box, I could achieve this executing a DOS command... But I don't...
Thanks!
Checking For Free Disk Space And Getting Mail , When Falls Below A Certain Limit
Sep 13, 2006Hello
I have a script which checks the disk space and when it falls a certain size , it mails the dba mail box.
I would like to know how I can change it , as a percentage calculation.
For example when the free space is less than 20% of the total space on the drive I should be receiving a mail.
The script I have is :
declare @MB_Free int
create table #FreeSpace(
Drive char(1),
MB_Free int)
insert into #FreeSpace exec xp_fixeddrives
-- Free Space on F drive Less than Threshold
if @MB_Free < 4096
exec master.dbo.xp_sendmail
@recipients ='dvaddi@domain.edu',
@subject ='SERVER X - Fresh Space Issue on D Drive',
@message = 'Free space on D Drive
has dropped below 2 gig'
drop table #freespace
Thanks
Issue Of Blank Emails When Checking For Free Space On Disk Of Servers
Sep 22, 2006Hello
I have got a script which checks the percentage of free space on the drivers of the servers and mails the DBA when it falls below a certain percentage , which can be set according to our requirements.
But I am getting blank emails even when , there is no issue of low free space.
Please help me out.
The code , 1st part of it is:
use master
go
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
create PROCEDURE usp_diskspace

declare @minimumspace int
set @minimumspace = 10
set @msg = 'Running out of Hard Disk space on the Server: '+@@servername

How can I change to get the mail only when there is a free space issue.

Mutilple Space Gets Converted To Single Space In Report Viewer Control
Feb 23, 2007I 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.

Trans Log-&>space Allocated 27GB, Space Used 100MB
Mar 2, 2005Hi.. 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?

Checking For PK
Feb 10, 2004Hi,
I want to assign a list columns to be the PK on a table. I don't know what this list of columns would be.How do I go about figuring that?
Sample Data
Col1...Col2...Col3..Col4
1...........2.......A......X
1...........2........B.....X
1...........2.......A......Y
As you can see Col1 & Col2 ONLY do not make up the PK. I need to include Col3 as well. My concern is I am not sure if I have a row like..
1...........2.......A......X reapeated lower down the order. So how do I figure the PK out?
Thanks
Checking For Row Existence
Nov 1, 2006Can someone show me some C# code for detecting if a SQL row exists or not? This seems like a very typical action and I cannot for the life of me find a tutorial online that explains this step. In my code I'm either going to INSERT or UPDATE a record. I tried sending a SELECT command through a ExecuteNonQuery, but only got -1 as a response. Apparently ExecuteNonQuery does not work with SELECT. I then saw that T-SQL has an EXISTS keyword, but I cannot see anyway to use that from within C#.So...can anyone share the typical code they use to identify if a row exists or not within a database. I guess I was execting there to be some method available to do this sort of thing.

View 3 Replies View RelatedChecking Character Set
May 2, 2002I've forgotten the character set that I've chosen when I was installing the SQL Server 7. Is there a way to check?
I'm currently using US English version of Windows NT4 and SQL7. But interestingly, all the data is in Japanes characters. It's actually for a Japanese website, and the front-end application is written in ASP. I remember reading somewhere that it is impossible to do certain type of sorting (by some particular order for the Japanese language) as it is limited by the choice of the language of the NT OS.
The type of sorting that I'm looking at is the grouping of 5-characters. One example is in http://www.forest.impress.co.jp/aiueo.html
Would this be possible with my current setup? Or would it help if I migrate over to Windows 2000? (I'd rather not move to Japanese NT4)
Your feedback and advice would be very much appreciated!

Checking For A Range

I have having trouble with my SQL statement:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT *
FROM Table
WHERE ( (0=0)
AND
(min.value <= Table.Value <= max.value) )
(This isn't my actual code, but just the logic)
It will return all the results everytime. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could be missing here?
Thanks in advance!
Checking Job Status Using SQL-DMO
Jun 27, 2004I have a question I hope someone can help me with.
My situation:
I have a single-step job in SQL Server, which runs a stored procedure, A. This stored procedure invokes another stored procedure, B. In B, one of the statements is a 'BACKUP DATABASE' command, and a database is backed up to a file.
The job is started by an application. Once started, the application then uses the SQL-DMO property CurrentRunStatus to periodically check the status of the job. When the property returns the value SQLDMOJobExecution_Idle (indicating the job has completed), the application code then continues processing, and attempts to access the .dat file produced by the 'BACKUP DATABASE' command.
My problem:
On occasion, the application will hit the problem where either the backup file cannot be located, or the file is still being locked by another process (Error=The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process).
Is anyone able to shed some light on this?
I assume that the job will only return a completed status after:
(a) both A and B have completed execution, and
(b) the BACKUP operation has completed
Is it possible that even though SQL Server indicates the job has finished, that the BACKUP operation still hasn't completely ended?
Thanks for any help,
Andrew

Way Of Checking To See If All SP's Work
Jul 25, 2007Our System currently has on the upwards of 300 stored procedures in it.
We have SP's that call SP's that call SP's and sometimes a Stored Procedure will return 10 ResultSets which are used by .NET.
Some of our developers do not check other stored procedures when they modify the SP parameters, and in doing so break the system until the testers find it.
is there a way to run a command to check ALL the stored procedures to see if they work, they match the SP they're calling, etc?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSecurity Checking
Nov 16, 2007SQL Server allows for a user to have SELECT permission on a View withoutthat user requiring an associated SELECT permission on the underlying tablethat the VIEW accesses, but the user can still access the data through theView. A similar arrangement holds true for stored procedures.So based on these initial known behaviours, I have a couple of questions:1. If a stored procedure A executes stored procedure B, does the user of Arequire execute permission for B also? Or will access to B be permittedregardless because the user was given access to A?2. Similarly, if a stored procedure A accesses a View, does the user of Arequire permissions on the referenced View?I guess to paraphrase what I am trying to determine is whether SQL Serveronly checks permissions at the "entry" point of a particular function, orwhether permission checks are performed "intra-function". My openingexamples imply they are only checked "on entry", but I am wondering if thisbehaviour is entirely consistent. Perhaps the SQL Standard mandates this?
