Can any one have any idea what is the advantage of having Log file size greater than DB size?
Thanks

SQL 2005 Resize Initial Log Size: MODIFY FILE Failed. Specified Size Is Less Than Current Size.
Sep 4, 2007
I am trying to resize a database initial log file from 500M to 2M. I€™m using€?
ALTER DATABASE <DBNAME> MODIFY FILE ( NAME = <DBLOGFILENAME, SIZE = 2 ) "
And I'm getting "MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size." I tried going into the database properties and setting the log file to 2M, but it doesn€™t keep the changes.
Any help with this process?

SPROC Problem - String[1]: The Size Property Has An Invalid Size Of 0.
Mar 16, 2007Hi folks,Can anyone enlighten me here? I'm trying to use a SPROC which, when supplied with an int, looks up the table and returns certain columns from it. I'm using a SqlCommand, here's my codebehind: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SqlCommand dataSource = new SqlCommand("retrieveData", new SqlConnection(dbConnString)); dataSource .CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; dataSource .Parameters.AddWithValue("id", poid); dataSource .Parameters.AddWithValue("title", title).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output; dataSource .Parameters.AddWithValue("creator", creator).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output; dataSource .Parameters.AddWithValue("assignee", assignee).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output; etc, etc... And the SPROC:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------set ANSI_NULLS ONset QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ONGOALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[retrieveData] @id int, @title varchar(50) OUTPUT, @creator varchar(50) OUTPUT, @assignee varchar(50) OUTPUT, @contact varchar(50) OUTPUT, @deliveryCost numeric(18,2) OUTPUT, @totalCost numeric(18,2) OUTPUT, @status tinyint OUTPUT, @project smallint OUTPUT, @supplier smallint OUTPUT, @creationDateTime datetime OUTPUT, @amendedDateTime datetime OUTPUT, @locked bit OUTPUT AS /**SET NOCOUNT ON; **/ SELECT [title] AS [@title], [datetime] AS [@creationDateTime], [creator] AS [@creator], [assignee] as [@assignee], [supplier] as [@supplier], [contact] AS [@contact], [delivery_cost] AS [@deliveryCost], [total_cost] AS [@totalCost], [amended_timestamp] AS [@amendedDateTime], [locked] AS [@locked] FROM purchase_orders WHERE [id] = @id; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The id being passed in is definately not null, and is set to a value of an item I know exists. The resulting error is:

Can anyone see anything I'm missing? Thanks,Ally
Error - Output Param - SP - Size Property Has An Invalid Size Of 0
Nov 14, 2007Using C#, SQL Server 2005, ASP.NET 2, in a web app, I've tried removing the size from parameters of type NCHAR, NVARCHAR, and VARCHAR. I'd rather just send a string and let the size of the parameter in the SP truncate any extra chars if need be. I began getting the error below, and eventually realized it happened only with output parameters, as in the code snippet below.String[3]: the Size property has an invalid size of 0. par = new SqlParameter("@BusinessEntity", SqlDbType.NVarChar); par.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output; cmd.Parameters.Add(par); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();What's the logic behind this? Is there any way around it other than either finding out what the size should be, or assigning a size larger than would ever be needed? ThanksMike Thomas

Best Practice For Data Size/Log Size Ratio
Jul 23, 2005Just wanted to know what is a general rule of thumb when determining log file space against a database's data file.We allow our data file for our database to grow 10%, unlimited. We do not allow our log file to autogrow due to a specific and poorly written process (which we are in a three month process of remove) that can balloon the log file size.Should it be 10% of the Data file, i.e. if the Date file size is 800MB the log file should be 8MB?I realize there are a myraid of factors that go against file size but a general starting point would be nice.ThanksJeff--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com

Feb 15, 2000Hi,
An MSSQL DB running SAP indicates a smaller DB size (MMC & SAP) than the actual physical size. The difference is about 8 GB.
A lot of records were deleted before this. Did they remain in the DB as NULL values or something ?
Does anyone know what the reason for this could be ? And how to clean this up ?
Thanks in advance,

Table Size And Database Size
Mar 2, 2008Hi,
i use this script that show me the size of each table and do the sum of all the table size.
SELECT
X.[name],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[rows]), 1), '.00', '') AS [rows],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[reserved]), 1), '.00', '') AS [reserved],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[data]), 1), '.00', '') AS [data],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[index_size]), 1), '.00', '') AS [index_size],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[unused]), 1), '.00', '') AS [unused]
FROM
(SELECT
CAST(object_name(id) AS varchar(50)) AS [name],
SUM(CASE WHEN indid < 2 THEN CONVERT(bigint, [rows]) END) AS [rows],
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, reserved)) * 8 AS reserved,
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, dpages)) * 8 AS data,
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, used) - CONVERT(bigint, dpages)) * 8 AS index_size,
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, reserved) - CONVERT(bigint, used)) * 8 AS unused
FROM sysindexes WITH (NOLOCK)
WHERE sysindexes.indid IN (0, 1, 255)
AND sysindexes.id > 100
AND object_name(sysindexes.id) <> 'dtproperties'
GROUP BY sysindexes.id WITH ROLLUP) AS X
ORDER BY X.[name]
the problem is that the sum of all tables is not the same size when i make a full database backup.
example of this is when i run this query against my database i see a sum of 111,899 KB that they are 111MB,but when
i do full backup to that database the size of this full backup is 1.5GB,why is that and where this size come from?

SQL 2012 :: Existing Replica MDF File Size Increased In Size Than New Replica Install
Apr 14, 2015Here are my scenarios:
We have an application with replicated environment setup on sql server 2012 . Users will have a replica on their machines and they will replicate to the master database. It has 3 subscriptions subscribed to the publications on the master db.
1) We set up a replica(which uses sql server 2012) on a machine with no sql server on it. After the initial synchronization(used replmerge tool) the mdf file has grown to 33gigs and ldf has grown to 41 gigs. I went to sql server management studion . Right click and checked the properties of the local database. over all size is around 84 gb with little empty free space available.
2) We set up a replica(which uses sql server 2012) on a machine with sql server 2008 on it. After the initial synchronization(used replmerge tool) the mdf file has grown to 49 gigs and ldf has grown to 41 gigs. I went to sql server management studio , Right click and checked the properties of the local database. over all size is around 90 gb with 16 gb free space available.
3) We set up a replica(which uses sql server 2012) on a machine with sql server 2012 on it. We have dropped the local database and recreated the local db and did the initial synchronization using replmerge tool. The mdf file has grown to 49 gigs and ldf has grown to 41 gigs. I went to sql server management studio , Right click and checked the properties of the local database. over all size is around 90 gb with 16 gb free space available.
Why it is allocating the space differently? This is effecting our initial replica set up times.

View 9 Replies View RelatedLog Backup File Size Not Matching Log File Size
Apr 15, 2008I have a log file that is approximately 50 GIG. I backed up just the log and the file size of the .bak is 192 GIG . Why is this? Shouldn't it be closer to the 50 GIG.
Normally I wouldn't let log grow this much. But we are in process of getting new server up and running and don't have backups going yet. They are working on getting that up and running this week.
So I did a log backup to give me back some log space for now but was concerned when I saw the size of the .bak file.
When I view media contents of the backup device it shows one tranaction log back up and size of 192 GIG.
What is up with this. I know in SQL 2000 the log backup files where never this big. they were about the size of the log itself.
Any ideas?

I need your help in fixing SQL error. I have a SQL table which has more than 50 columns. 5 of them should hold 1000+ character text. I allocated nvarchar(2000) for each of those fields. But Iam getting an error when Iam trying instert the text from C#.net application.
Error Message is:

But When I copied complete row(from table) in to MS word file and check the character count, it's not 8739. It's only 3457.
Do you guys have any idea , why am I getting an error and how to fix it.
Thanks in advance.

What is the advantages of specifying a big size for DB when I create it? taking in consideration that my DB will grow and reach that size in one year. For example, if I know my DB size in 1 year will be 10GB, but at the time of creating it, it is about 500MB, is there a big advantage of allocating 10GB at th beginning?
Thanks
Log Size??
Dec 18, 2000I have been looking at the size of one particular database and log file over the
past 3 weeks. The database file has been growing continually (over 1000MB within
the last 10 days alone) but the log file has not changed size from 380MB.
Does anyone know why the log file has not been growing when the file has
been set to grow without restriction ?? I also understand that our administrators
should be flushing this log from time to time!
Thanks.
