Is it possible to manually force/call/start the system AUTOSHRINK process? I have an issue that appears only when the engine shrinking process is running and I need this to reproduce my bug.
I know how to start a "regular" database shrink process with:DBCC SHRINKDATABASE(xxxx);, but this is not the same as one started from the database engine.
Is it possible/advisable to change this setting with users connected? Â There are a number of web based users and an agent job running every 30 seconds.Â
USE [master]
GO
ALTER DATABASE [Bla] SET AUTO_SHRINK OFF WITH NO_WAIT
what's this : "auto shrink " db option in properties ???
in which case may i use this option ?
please help
I am using MSDE in sql server 2000.
When the database data file size exceed 2G limit, I tried to shrink the db and it
reduced by about 100MB.
2 days later, I checked the db data file size and it was reduced to 550MB, which is
1/4 of the original db size!
Please kindly explain the reason of this case, and how can it be monitored
effectively?
Thank you.
I would like to do an update statement to set auto shrinks to zero. A value of one means they are on. I have been using this select statement and manually changing them, but can't use it in a where clause.
select name, databasepropertyex(name, 'isautoshrink') shrink
from master.dbo.sysdatabases
I would like to do "where shrink = 1", but it won't work.
Any suggestions?
Hello all,
I am running into an interesting scenario on my desktop. I'm running developer edition on Windows XP Professional (9.00.3042.00 SP2 Developer Edition). OS is autopatched via corporate policy and I saw some patches go in last week. This machine is also a hand-me-down so I don't have a clean install of the databases on the machine but I am local admin.
So, starting last week after a forced remote reboot (also a policy) I noticed a few of the databases didn't start back up. I chalked it up to the hard shutdown and went along my merry way. Friday however I know I shut my machine down nicely and this morning when I booted up, I was in the same state I was last Wenesday. 7 of the 18 databases on my machine came up with
FCB:pen: Operating system error 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.) occurred while creating or opening file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation.
and it also logs
FCB:pen failed: Could not open file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.).
I've caught references to the auto close feature being a possible culprit, no dice as the databases in question are set to False. Recovery mode varies on the databases from Simple to Full. If I cycle the SQL Server service, whatever transient issue it was having with those files is gone.
As much as I'd love to disable the virus scanner, network security would not be amused. The data and log files appear to have the same permissions as unaffected database files. Nothing's set to read only or archive as I've caught on other forums as possible gremlins. I have sufficient disk space and the databases are set for unrestricted growth.
Any thoughts on what I could look at? If it was everything coming up in RECOVERY_PENDING it's make more sense to me than a hit or miss type of thing I'm experiencing now.
Hi, I am trying to automate shrinking the transaction log file on SQL server.
Every so often we get errors with our application using SQL server, in which I resolve by running the backup log and shrink log commands. However, recently I got the error: Could not allocate space for object 'table_name' in database 'database_name' because the 'Primary' file group is full. To resolve this I had to create another transaction log and then run the backup log and shrink log commands.
I know need to automate the process of shrinking the log file. I have checked and the Auto Shrink checkbox is ticked but these errors still occur.
How can I delete the additional log file I created and automate this task of shrinking the log file within SQL server? Any help would be appreciated...Thanks
Hi,

Is Auto shrink is good option where database is very critical and there is no down time?

Can we do database shrink in volume not full to manage spaces. Only few gb spaces are available, so i want to shrink the database. How to do that.

DB size-775 Gb

How to shrink database partially?
On one of our SQL Server 2008R2 instances the MSDB log file (MSDBLog.ldf) has grown to 300GB+. The data (.mdf) file is only 3GB.
Neither DBCC Shrinkfile(MSDBLog) nor an interactive "Tasks / Shrink / ..."
I've already deleted much of the historyThe MSDB database is in "Simple" recovery modeI've done a full backup (in case the log was "waiting" for a backup)
I hesitate to do things (such as as Detach / Attach) with MSDB that I might do with a user database.
I have a sharepoint content database in sql 2008 R2 (WSS_Content) that is at 230Gb size, but has 40% of it is empty space. Â This is because we have removed a large amount of old content from sharepoint. Â The log file is fine. Â I have 60GB left in my drive that host the database files. Â I would like to shrink the datafile to get disk space back. Â I found that under the files property, the WSS_Content data file's initial size is 228702 MB (220 Gb or so). Â
When i try to do a shrink file (data file) from management studio, i see the 60 GB of drive space keep dropping. Â So i have to kill the process. what i should do to reduce this data file.
why it keep using up all the free space in the drive when i try to shrink the data file?
select * from sysprocesses
How can I determine whether a process a system or user?
I have some questions :
1.Is it OK to shrink Master, model ? the transaction log for those databases are full .
2.Is it OK to set the Recovery model of Database MODEL as SIMPLE ? at the moment it is in FULL recovery model and the transaction log is Full too
I've already shrunk the tlog from 350 GB to 313.My DB Server (2008 R2 Sp2) cannot be restarted and the db cannot go offline or detach due to company policy.My DB after changing from full to simple mode still has 313GB tlog file and when I run DBCC OPENTRAN I get Transaction information for database 'DB'.
Replicated Transaction Information:
Oldest distributed LSN : (0:0:0)
Oldest non-distributed LSN : (2882:26:1)
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.
Which means this DB is participating in a High Availability process like replication, mirroring or log shipping.
So I run EXEC sp_repldone @xactid = NULL, @xact_segno = NULL, @numtrans = 0, @time = 0, @reset = 1.
This is useful when there are replicated transactions in the transaction log that are no longer valid and you want to truncate the log.
But I get an error:
Msg 18757, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_repldone, Line 1
Unable to execute procedure. The database is not published. Execute the procedure in a database that is published for replication.
There are currently 9 connections and all are sleeping.What else can i try in order to shrink the tlog file?

I have used the script file to make a transcation repliation. All the things goes well except a bug, when the script executed over, the snapshot does not start copy at once and need me go to the enterprise manager and right click it in the replication monitor to start it, I just want to start it auto when finish executing the script . How should I do ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello everyone! We had an issue this week where SQL Server Agent did not restart automatically. Weekly maintenance runs on the server each Sunday in which a reboot of the server occurs. Both SQL Server and SQL Server Agent are set to auto-start when OS starts. SQL started fine, but SQL Server Agent didn't.
Anyone know of a reason why SQL Server Agent wouldn't have restarted? Also, does anyone know of a way to set something up that would alert me (through email) if this service hasn't restarted?
Thanks in advance,
Lance

All,
I have to use a field that is calculated in a data flow process and call a database function (return a value) to do anther calculation; then return a value back to the data flow. I tried OLD DB Command but I cannot configure to return a value back to the same data flow.
If there any transformations that can call a DB function and get a value from the function in the middle of the data flow process? Need more detailed instruction.
The data flow is Like:
SourceDB Ã New_filed 1 = field1 + filed2 Ã New_filed 2= DB_function (New_filed 1) Ã Destination DB
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
In my ETL project, l need to extract rawdata using winzip, and the DOS command l use is
c:program filesWinzipwinzip32.exe -min -e c:
awdata est.zip c:
awdata
where -min for minimize and -e for extract, c:
awdata est.zip for source file and c:
awdata for destination. It works fine by using DOS command.
l configure the Execute Process Tasks with the following parameters, i.e.
RequiredFullFileName : TRUE
Executable : c:program filesWinzipwinzip32.exe
Arguments : -min -e
WorkingDirectory : c:program filesWinzip
StandardInputVariable : User::gsRawFile
StandardOutputVariable : User::gsDestDir
Where User::gsRawFile = c:
awdata est.zip and User::gsDestDir = c:
awdata
But it can't work....no error return.
Any idea when l make the mistake?
Thanks.

I am not successful in getting SQL Server Agent to startup when SQL server starts up.
I believe the problem has to do with a lack of permissions or rights. I will list the steps
below which seem to me to be all that are needed to install SQL Server Agent. I used
Enterprise Manager to get this information.
If anyone can shoot any holes in the process, please do, that may be where my
problem lies.
a. Created NT accounts called MSSQLSERVER for the server and MSSQLSERVERAGENT
for SQL Agent.
b. Each of these accounts has the "right" to logon as a service.
c. Each of these accounts has "admin" rights.
d. Each of these accounts has been added to SQL SERVER under Security and Logins.
e. The properties assigned to each of the accounts are:
(1) on the general tab -- Windows NT authentication is in effect, database is master
and language is English (2) on the server roles tab -- System Administrators is checked
(3) on the database access tab -- the master database is checked
f. Under SQL Server Agent, properties, selecting the General Tab, in the frame
titled "service startup account":
(1) the circle labelled "this account" is clicked (2) the account is filled in using
domain namemssqlserveragent (3) the correct password is filled in taking case
into consideration
g. Under SQL Server Agent, properties, selecting the Connection Tab, in the frame
titled "sql server connection":
(1) the circle labelled "use windows NT authentication" is clicked
h. Right clicking the server and selecting properties show a multi-tab window
(1) the general tab shows that all three autostart boxes are checked
(2) the security tabs shows SQL Server and Windows authentication are in effect
(3) the startup service account shows "this account" selected and the account
is filled in with domain namemssqlserver and the password is filled in (taking
case into consideration)
In all cases above, the domain name is not the domain in which the server resides,
but is in a "trusted" domain.
Any help would be very much appreciated!!!!!
I expect to create a trigger to post updated data from GoldMine hosted in MS-SQL to my migration MS-SQL database in the appropriate tables mirroring the destination PICK data tables.
Then, start an ActiveX DTS package to migrate the data via a PICK DSN to data tables in a PICK database.
Currently the dba has been able to use VB6.0 with ADO to push data into PICK. He also was able to do similar using MS-Access.
However, PICK (RainingData) is of the opinion that he must script a PICK server side Basic (RealBasic) insert script to receive the data from a VB6.0 application triggered by MS-SQL.
I think that I could skip the Basic script and go direct with ADO in DTS as he has before with VB6.0 with a user form.
Can I have the trigger start the DTS or should I just schedule it to run as often as necessary to update the PICK database?
FYI, this is a one-way data flow into PICK.
TIA
Anyone within the L.A. CA area that has experience with PICK and MS-SQL can get some well paid consulting hours. I'm just the GoldMine GMT whose been enlisted to get the job done, but would appreciate an expert with PICK to join the project.

It's happening because our clients can use 'bad' parameters for some reports.

Killing can happen immediately or after regular check (5 min for example).
