Could Not Allocate New Page For Database 'TEMPDB'?
May 9, 2004
"Could not allocate new page for database 'TEMPDB'. There are no more pages available in filegroup DEFAULT. Space can be created by dropping objects, adding additional files, or allowing file growth."
I get this error when running a query on another database. But why?
Both data and transaction files on TEMPDB are set to "automatically grow file" and "unrestricted file growth" and there is 70GB of free space on the disk drive. Shouldn't the files just grow? Why would this happen?
I get the following error when doing a variety of basic queries on other databases:
"Could not allocate new page for database 'TEMPDB'. There are no more pages available in filegroup DEFAULT. Space can be created by dropping objects, adding additional files, or allowing file growth."
This doesn't make any sense since they are set to auto grow and there is plenty of disk space to do so.
Both data and transaction files of tempdb are set to: "Automatically grow file" is checked "Maximum file size" is set to "Unrestricted file growth" Growth rate of 10%
Both tempdb data file and transaction file are on D: but all drives have ample space: c:25 GB free D:69 GB free E:175 GB free
Hello, I have an issue with a process that blows up because of the following error.
Executed as user: batchloader. Updated 0 existing Company records [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) Inserted 0 new Company records [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) Inserted 0 new EntityIdXref records [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) Updated 977 existing CompanyCustomerAttr records [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) Inserted 0 new CompanyCustomerAttr records [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) Could not allocate new page for database 'TEMPDB'.

Ok I am going to be typeing some really bad practices(I just started here 3 weeks ago.)
There is 23.6 gig free on my log drive. The disk is not running out of space and there are no disk errors in event viewer. The process in question calles 2 procs. These 2 proces load files from the filesystem and bulk load them into #temp tables. Then select's from these tables are issued using criteria from a static table. There are around 700000 rows being inserted into the #temp tables and no indexes are being created so very large table scans going on. Also there are some cursors being called to row by row minipulate the records and in the cursor it calles fucntions using cursors. There are thousands of files being processes everyday by several different jobs. All of the processes are written the same way. We have the tempdb set to auto grow by 10 % and the initial size is 3.5 gig. There are 3 to 4000 tables in the database and 90 % of them are being created on the fly to be used by this process and yes once again there are no indexes created on the on the fly tables. We have only one Filegroup on the server default.
I believe that takeing some of the objects and moving them to there own filegroup will help this issue. Every month we take on up to 800000 new records to process on top of what we allready do. So we use cursors cursors cursors temp objects with no indexes and massive recordsets and doing sorts on massive records sets. I am working with development to show them how and where to index but this will take time. I need a quick solution. Any thoughts any questions? The box has 4 gig of ram.
Could not allocate space for objects in database 'abc' And I have added 1 GB(1024 MB) of free space to primary file system of 'abc'. However now the primary file system of 'abc' database is 120 GB and the file properties are : Automatically grow file is checked, By percent 1 and restrict file growth: 121024 MB Still the database is showing as space avialable is 0.00, the total size is : 132186 MB
As of now I have't got any other alert, Please let me know if I get in the near future how to proceed??
One DTS package is running contunuously on this DB

 I have used Extented event to monitor the occurances of TempDB contention on Production server . I found there are several entried logged in in 30 mints .Now I am trying to determin if Tempdb contention on PFS, GAM or SGAM page then I will decide if I need to increase the number of TempDB data files on Production server . Currently , There are 8 TempDB Data files configured on its separate Disks .There are Page_IDs I found in the extented events for Tempdb files -
Page_IDÂ =1 for PFS page Page_ID = 2 for GAM page Page_ID =3 for SGAM page
but I found the Below Page_IDs and I know there is a formula that you can use to identify if page is PFS,GAM or SGAM ? How should I use this formula and what should I look for to determine if page is PFS,GAM or SGAM ? Is there any threshold value for the duration of TempDB contention occured ?
I have created one reports but all the records are displaying on one page.find a solution to display the records page by page. I created the same report without group so the records are displaying in page by page.
I want to move my tempdb database to another drive by moving the mdf and ldf files . Is it possible to shift the tempdb once it is created ? I am shifting the database since there is no space on the current drive and the database might grow in the near furure .
I need to expand tempdb database. The users keep getting this error when they try to do a sort: SQL Server message(1510): state 2 Sort failed. Out of space or locks in database 'tempdb'
Also in the error log I am getting these errors: Error 1105, Severity: 17, State: 1 Can't allocate space for object '-641' in database 'tempdb'because the 'system' segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of the segment.
What I am wondering is if expanding tempdb will fix the problem, or is there another fix that I should be looking at.
Any direction you could give me on this would be appreciated. I have very little experience with SQL 6.5
I have a system configured with Windows 2000 and SQL Server 2000Clustering (active/passive). Both SQL Servers have a local E: drivewith the same directory structure. I would like to move the tempdboff of the shared SAN and on to the E: drive. I don't foresee anyissues with this but wanted to know if anyone else has encounteredproblems with this.
Hi, I've got a table with 65'000 records and when I do a SELECT * FROM tablename ORDER BY Name I receive this error message:
Msg 1105, Level 17, State 1 Can't allocate space for object '-513' in database 'tempdb' because the 'system' segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of the segment. Msg 1510, Level 17, State 2 Sort failed: Out of space or locks in database 'tempdb'
So I've dumped the transaction with no_log and also I've extended the segement from the master database (because tempdb is in it bydefault):
sp_extendsegment system, master
But I've still got the error message. Is there anybody who can advice me? Thank you
for the first time in my long SQL DBA live I see such a behaviours. My tempdb database is growing every damn second since a this morning. Now it reached 30Gb, the log file is empty (217 Mb).
We use SQL 2000 Ent on Win 2000 Advance Server. Running Siebel Call Center (7.5 ver) with about 300 users.
Some users time to time obtain and hold a huge amount Exclusive locks on the tempdb extents
there is a sql job that failed yesterday. This job calls a store procedure. This store procedure doesn't use any temp table. But there are lots of updates and inserts clauses.
application log shows: Error: 9002, Severity: 17, State: 2 The log file for database 'tempdb' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space. ---------------------------------------------------------------- tempdb.mdf 1.37gb templog.ldf 19.6 mb
these files are located on D: drive and D drive has 52gb free space
HiI am getting this common error once or twice a day:Error: 9002, Severity: 17, State: 2The log file for database 'tempdb' is full. Back up the transactionlog for the database to free up some log space.provided......1. My log file drive has more than 20 GB free out of 30 GB2. Both data file & log file has default setting on unrestricted filegrowth by 10%3. Currently we moved from SQL 7.0 to SQL 2000 & the load in the userside also doubled4. We can't do the temporary solution like restarting the server orSQL service, because the application is a real time system with muchless manual interaction.Thanks in advance.RegardsSeni
I always get this message, when i want to run a stonger query or a transaction that takes a longer time:
"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 log_reuse_wait_desc column: LOG_BACKUP I ran tr log backup...nothing... I tried to set to simple reco mode the db...this helped... temporaly...i got again below message. ( i wouldn't like to set to simple mode the db because the size of db is 160GB now....so i don't want to eun a fullbackup)
TempDB size is 50MB now and it can grow until 7GB. The trqansaction log size is 14GB and there are 50GB free space, so it can grow.
This symptom occurs since i installed SP2 and the CP Rev.4.0
At the moment there is no data in the Place_No field.
I want to assign a Place_No to all records based on the number of Points (Total_Points). The highest Points value should have a place Number of 1 and so on.
However, where a number of applications have the same points I want to randomly allocate a place number for them. Application_ID 49, 96 and 155 all have 75 points so each of the 3 applications should be randomly allocated one of the following place numbers, 3, 4 and 5. I can not allocate them based on their order in the table as it has to be seen as a ‘lottery’ and each time it is run they would expect to get a different result.
The same thing then has to happen with the last 3 records in this sample allocating place numbers 6, 7 and 8
I was hoping to create a stored procedure to do this, but I’ve no idea where to begin. I would appreciate any help you could give. Thank you.
Hi, Sorry for placing it in SQL Server Forum.But I couldn't find a appropiate forum for my question.Can anybody help me? My question is - How to allocate expended memory in windows XP? Thanks!! Joydeep
I am getting a "Could not allocate space for object 'temp_trc' in database'Test' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full"The database test has unrestricted growth (All the defaults). It resides ondrive c which has 4Gigs free. I added new data and log files on drive dwhich is about 30G free. I know that my insert doesn't take even 1G diskspace.Why is the database complaining about a full filegroup when I just expandedit?J.
"tempdb is skipped. You cannot run a query that requires tempdb"?
We're running a .Net web application with a SQL Server 2000 backend, and we get the error intermittently. Restarting the SQL Server service seems to fix it, as it causes tempdb to be rebuilt, but this isn't a long term solution. Any direction or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Mike
Hi the BUG (in application or in the SQL) appeared again. The tempdb database has gown up since a lunch time today, from 60mb to 43 Gb and it's keep growing.
Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors.
[code]
I did not have remote connections enabled yet, so the resolutions I have found that include sqlcmd or starting in single user configuration are not working. Any way that might allow me to restore the usual tempdb settings, which I think would allow SQL to start again?
I really needed to move the tempdb file to another hard drive, so I used this bit of code.
USE master go
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = tempdev, FILENAME = 'E: empdb.mdf') go
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = templog, FILENAME = 'E: emplog.ldf') go
Now sql server manager won't even start. The log files says
"tempdb.mdf is not a privary database file. CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. WARNING: problem activiating all tempdb files. See previous errors."
Any ideas on how to make this program work again, without reinstalling it?
I'm currently running the command below and getting this error message. I am getting it every few seconds for a couple hours now. Seems to have started when I started this SPROC below. I'm just over 2 hours into running.
Not sure what this means yet, any help is much appreciated. Desperately trying to resolve this urgent matter!
thanks once again! mike123
"Autogrow of file 'templog' in database 'tempdb' was cancelled by user or timed out after 2813 milliseconds. Use ALTER DATABASE to set a smaller FILEGROWTH value for this file or to explicitly set a new file size."
Could anyone please help me in fixing this error asap...
Server: Msg 1105, Level 17, State 2, Line 1 Could not allocate space for object '(SYSTEM table id: -334560816)' in database 'TEMPDB' because the 'DEFAULT' filegroup is full.
This message is received on the client. Client pc has Intel 2Ghz or better processor, 512MB Ram, sufficient hard drive space, connecting to MS SQLServer 2000 thru TCP/IP.
Database server is running Windows 2000 Advanced Server w/ SP3 and MS SQLServer 2000 Enterprise Edition w/ SP3, with 4 way 700Mhz PIII Xeon processors and 4GB Ram (I'm not certain about network connectivity, but it's at least 100MB Ethernet). The database is approximately 87GB, with an average of 250 to 300 connections.
The application is vendor supplied, written in Visual Basic 3.0. Therefore I am using 16 bit SQL drivers, the latest I am aware of, dated 6/15/1997.
This database was previously running on SQLServer 7, and this error did not occur. It started after the upgrade to SQLServer 2000. We discovered this error in testing the upgrade and found that by decreasing the "Network Packet Size" setting on SQLServer w/ sp_configure, we were able to make the message go away. However now that we are in a production environment, the message seems to be coming back randomly. We have the NPS set to 1024 (default is 4096). I'm worried about performance if it is dropped much farther.
I encontered a problem which did not allow me to select any thing from the temparary tables of the tempdb database. (e.g one of the temparary tables is #239E4DCF), why is that and how can we solve this problem? As I urgently need to look at this tempdb database, it is full. I am looking forward to hearing from you and thanks a lot in advance for your help.
