I have scenario where I have process that loades data into SQL server 2012 database by doing some manipulation on data like sorting , aggregation, etc. Once this process is completed it's not free up the Tempdb space. If I restart the database, then it does.
is there any way (apart from shirking) to release space for Tempdb, like writing some post SQL queries to delete/ truncate the data and logs from temp db?
Hi,
I am using SQL2005 SP1 and I have a 4Gb Tempdb (datafile) with virtually nothing in it.
I am unable to release the free space to the operating system. I have used dbcc shrinkfile...truncateonly but this has had no effect.
There is no error message and there are no open transactions, I have attempted to drop the data file by transferring to a new file but I can't because it the primary file...
Any idea would be very helpful!!
Cheers.

We have a database with about 500 GB of free disk space on data file and the database is being set to read only mode for the fore-see-able future. We would like to release this unused disk space. We know that we could shrink the data file and then work on re-indexing to remove fragmentation.we wanted to check if some other method like backup and restore of the database could free up unused disk space in the data file. if someone was able to release unused disk space on data file by implementing a backup and restore.
In on of the server tempdb is not releasing the reserved space after completion of data loads,as of now 99% of free space available in data file,we tried to shrink the datafile ,and space has not been released.

TempDB log is 35GB in size.

I was not able to do it for most as they were in use, but by starting the server in single-user mode with all other sql services shut off, and using sqlcmd I was able to use the ALTER DATABASE tempdb REMOVE FILE <tempdev#> to remove the files... except for one.
I have also tried using the command:
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = tempdev#, FILENAME = '<new location');
Restarted SQL server, and tried the ALTER DATABASE ... REMOVE FILE again but am always denied with the message that the file can't be removed b/c it's still in use.
I also tried to shrink it with EMPTYFILE but that also fails with the message that a page is a work table page and can't be removed.
I really need to get tempdb back to just one data file but am unable to find a way to remove this last data file.
Hi all,
I'm running SQL 7.0. Due to large tables, the space on the SQL server was getting filled up. So i truncated some tables. Now even though the SQL dbase shows 3Gb free, the HDD shows only 150 MB free. How do i get SQL 7.0 to release the sapce back to HDD?
Thanks

Hi,
When -all- records from a table with a varbinary(max) column are deleted (not via truncate), the table properties
still show a dataspace size from before the delete operation.
Inserting new blob records only leads in the growth of the allocated space withouth reusing the empty
already allocated space.
Runnning commands like dbcc updatusage/checkdb/cleantable/reindex or sp_spaceused @updateusage = N'TRUE'
seem to have no effect.
Does anyone know when space allocated by a varbinary col. is released?
thanks,
Derk
running SQL 2005 STD ed SP2. DB is in simple recovery mode.
SQL7: After doing a full backup Enterprise
Admin still shows "Transaction log space"
in use. Isn't it that way that full backup
releases all space formerly used by
log files?

Hey guys,
I have a table which has 6 text columns (tblA).. I no longer require 1 of those text columns and want to reclaim the space that it is currently taking up..
Is the only way to BCP out all the data (except the 1 column i no longer require) drop the column and BCP the data back into the table?
I hv dropped the useless columns for a table but the table size is remain unchanged by executing sp_spaceused. pls advise how to release table spaces.
thx

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.
Hi ,
I have a table let say TableA , which have a size of 22 GB.Due to its size i down size this table by deleting 40% rows.So ideally it should size to 15 GB but space is not released by TableA. How i can do it ? I tried shrink database, shrink data file wizards and DBCC command , Reorganize the index but all is in vain.
Any suggestion /solution?
I need to find out how much space is available on a disk (ex. C on the server from within a stored proc on ss2000. Is there an easy way?
Thanks!
What will the net result be if I limit the tempdb size, and it grows to it's limit? Will it crash my server? Will it shutdown SQL? I will most likely be moving it to another drive, but until then I can't have it consuming my entire drive like it did 2 days ago! Please Advise. - Rob
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm trying to add space to tempdb. I created a new device for 100megs and then I double clicked on tempdb db and then clicked on 'Expand'. I selected this new device in the data device - pull down and then did a 'Expand now'. After it successfully completed I went back and did a recalculate to find that the log space on tempdb has been increased and not the data space. I tried this twice with the same results.
Could anyone please tell me what's happening and how I can increase the data space on tempdb.
Thanks in advance,

This database is running on SQL sever 6.5.
We are running an home-created stored procedure that includes several rounds of dropping and recreating indexes in a few tables, i.e., after dropping indexes, the tables are truncated, then a lot of records will be inserted into the table, and the indexes are recreated.
we are getting the following error in turns:
1. ODBC error: Microsoft] ODBC SQL Server Driver] SQL Server]Can't
allocate space for object '-841' 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...
We then used EM to expand the tempdb, when reran the procedure, we got the following message:
2. ODBC error: Microsoft] ODBC SQL Server Driver] SQL Server] Cannot
drop the index 'dbo.ItemBalamce_CCB_Id',because it doesn't exist in the
system catalogs.
However, when I check the mentioned index, it is certainly there.
How could this happen?
After several rounds of running theis procedure, these two error messages appeared to occur alternatively.
If you have an answer or suggestion, please let me know ASAP.
Many thanks.
I received an alert from our alerting system that log space for tempdb is used over 60%.
My question is what options do I have to troubleshoot and fix it? If it would be a regular user database, I would check for log_reuse_wait_desc in sys.databases, run another log backup, and maybe some other things. But what I can do with tempdb?
I have a full backup scheduled at 12.00AM ET and have a batch import on 11.55PM(5 min before full backup) which takes 30min to complete .Will the backup cover the data which is being imported?

I downloaded MSDE and am having trouble installing it, no doubt because I do not understand the documentaion (ReadMeMSDE2000A.htm).
When I try to run setup, I get that message that says:
"A strong SA password is required for security reasons. Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same."
Considering my purpose, do I need a "strong" SA password? If not, how do I get around it? If yes, how do I set it up?

what is the best way to make free space in tempdb?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am getting an error while running SSIS package:
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.SORT temporary run storage: '...' 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."
The destination is sql 2000. The package does not create any large temp tables.
apart from setting MaxInsertCommitSize property on the destination in Data Flow, is there anything else I could do?
Where do I find this MaxInsertCommitSize option?
does anyone know if tempdb can be physically moved to a different partition on a disk drive on SQL Server 7.0? Since it can't be backed up I'm hesitant to use the sp_detach/sp_attach procedure because I don't want to crash it. If nothing else is available, I can attempt moving it this way at the end of the day and then just reboot to get tempdb back up again if the server fails, but I'd really appreciate a suggestion from someone who has more know-how than I do about system table operations. Thanks again

In Sql Server 2005 sys.dm_db_task_space_usage is great for tracking down temdb space issues.
I have tempdb space issues in sql server 2000, how do i get the same info in SS2000 ? IE: What spid is using the most tempdb space ?
Thanx
We have an App server where Microsoft reporting services (report Builder 2005) is hosted and the backend Database server which is used by the reporting services.
The clients create very complex reports (usually towards month end) and run against the database causing the tempdb grow expenentially, leading to perfromance degradation and worst case space issues.Our only solution is to reboot the server.
There should be many systems which sould be having similar scenarios like mine. How to handle the scenario.usually in my database tempdb should be below 15GB... but it had grown to 60GB in some instances.
I try to find some feedback regarding setting the TempDB files on a RAM disk.Specifically I am looking for "production results" that could show the difference/benefit of such an usage.The tests on physical server and VM I already made have shown a boost in overall SQL Server 2012 performance on SQL Server instances housing data for SharePoint 2013 and Dynamics AX 2012 R2.Graphic below show differences between 5 different configuration on the same physical server:
- Physical HD: Server with local HD
- Physical SANEX1PRD: Server with TempDB files stored on a low-end SAN
- Physical SAN1: Server with TempDB files stored on a high-end SAN (around 100000 IOps)
- Physical SAN1 Jumbo: same setup with Jumbo Frame activated on NIC and DB engine
- Physical RAMdrive: with TempDB files stored on a 16 GB soft RAM drive within OS memory
Results were really impressive for the DB engine housing Dynamics AX data. My colleagues from the SharePoint team told me it also boosted a bit overall SharePoint performances but they did not have any baseline comparison to show.If you have some feedback, results, links, whatever I am interested.Indeed before setting this to all our SQL Server 2012 instances I y rather collect some *real world* feedback.
Application is throwing errors.Is there anyway to fix this with out restarting the server on a newly migrated system?

I am monitoring current tempdb usage of space for

Is it available by default or it has to be Configured.
If yes then how to configure Tempdb in Memory for SQL 2012 SP2 CU1?
I have a query that is using up the whole TempDB (50GB) and still failing because the disk runs out of space.
The script has SELECT FROM SELECT FROM SELECT etc. and in each select it also seems to have joins.
I can also see a few UNION and UNION ALLs.
Is this normal for one query to use up that much space?
If I wanted to make this better where would I start?
I have a tempdb split into 4 files (5 if you include the log).
Autogrowth is disabled on the mdf/ndf files so that they can be used round robin (1 file per logical CPU).
Is there a way to be alerted when there is x% of free space left?
I know hwo to check the free space via t-sql but want to be able to be alerted. I could run a sql job that reports the free space and send a database mail message if under x% but wondered if there was a built in (or better) method?
I also have SQL Sentry.
