I've set up an alert to email me whenever the database is over a certain size. The amount is calculated by taking 80% of the total data file size. The problem I'm having is that it keeps generating a false positive alert because MS SQL seems to treat the currently used value as the total allocated space for the database data file. For example, the data file is 100MB, it's currently using 60MB, and if I enter 80MB in the alert, it generates an email alert claiming the current size is 100MB. Could it be because the data file size is set to 100MB (since autogrowth is disabled)?
I'm trying to develop a email alert feature on my project. I was trying to approach with SQL trigger wich I think is the best option. Basically, when a new record is inserted into ad table, a email alert goes to peolpe who selected to receive alert wehen certain conditions are met. What would be the best approach? any examples?Thanks
When a new record is inserted into the database. I want this to trigger an email that will be sent to all users who requested one when a new record was added. I can't figure the best way to set this up. All help gratefully received. Thanks JB
I am trying to configure emails alerts on DTS package on one of my servers , i am getting an error somthing like i need to add a new profile.I received emails every day from the scheduled jobs which succeed every day
It seems that in order to get an email alert from SQL Server 2000 I need Microsoft Outlook orMicrosoft Exchange client installed. Is there any other way to get an email alert (not net send) when a back up is finished? for example using a @hotmail.com account?
How can I turn this query into an Email alert if one of the counts are GT 50. The Source are machines that I capture counts(Unprocessed_Cntr) from every 5 minutes and load to the Load_Time_Capture table. I also add a datetime to each capture(Unprocessed_Capture ). Â
If any individual source has a count > 50 or if the combined(ALL) GT 50 send an email to support person. Â
SELECTÂ Â CASE GROUPING([Source]) Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â WHEN 1 THEN 'ALL' Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â ELSE [Source] END AS 'Input Source', Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â avg([Unprocessed_Cntr]) as 'Average Queue Past 15 Min'Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â FROM Â Â Â Â Load_Time_Capture WHERE Unprocessed_Capture >= Â DateADD(mi, -15, Current_TimeStamp) GROUP BY Â Â [source] WITH ROLLUP
how do I set up a SQL2000 server to send an alert to both an email address and a pager when a specific event occurs..please help!!! The server is in a different location and we need notification of problems!! thanks
I receive the following error when trying to invoke xp_sendmail 'xp_sendmail: failed with mail error 0x80070005'. However, for alert notifications the email works fine. SQL is using an alias account to send mail. This account doesn't have any funny characters. Any ideas why the alert system works but xp_sendmail does not? The invokation of xp_sendmail is being done by SA.

I need to store totalsize,usedsize,freesize of the datafiles in a table to get an average of how much my datafile has increased over a week. The above query i am using is for logfile size. Can any one help me with datafile size plz. I've checked sp_helpfile, sysfiles but couldn't find what i am lookin for(used and free space). EM in taskpad view for a database shows the statistics for the datafile. I've tried a trace to find out a stored procedure but couldn't!!! May be i am unaware of a simple stored-procedure that can do this for me.
how can i dynamically specify the name of a report before sending in an email (example @reportName@datetime@parameter1@ServerName)
I have read most of the related articles and i am still curious about this topic - the technology is there so why wouldn't microsoft just add a REPORTNAME field to the email data driven subscription?

how can i change the initial size of the data and log file size ??? in my database properties it shows that my data file size is 81 mb and log file size is 985 mb! but my database only contains some tables and stored procedures with few rows of data in each tableand i checked that the actual mdf and ldf files are really that big... i tried to change it but it didn't work...can someone please teach me how to change it thanks!
Just wondering if someone can help me decrease the size of mdf and ldf files. In the past production database "NewUniverse" had been allocated space of 100 GB for mdf file and 8 GB of ldf file. However the data file has only used 30 GB of data. But now due to disk space related reason, I tried to decrease the datafile size from 100 GB to 40 GB. But I am not able to do it.
Hi All, Is it possible to increase the size of data file in SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. I think the licensed limit is 4096MB whcih i am unable to increase. Could anyone let if is it possible to increase the data file size and if yes then how?
I'm new to the DBA world, and have no one else in the company to look up to. Does anyone know what I might need to check out or do when the Data File Size is 204% full? Or is this not necessarily a bad thing?
I'm getting this from a Diagnostic tool I have.
The number of tables is 148 Data file size 35,941 MB Data Size 26,549.92 MB Index Size 177,130.02 MB Log File Size 5.05 MB
I am looking to automate monitoring space used for each file in eachdatabase on a SQL Server 2000. Does anybody have any SQL Scripts to dothis or to find the space used?
I have report which accepts a card number and fromdate and todate as parameters to the report. This report needs to be sent on a quarterly basis to each of the customer mail id to which their card number is linked. I am getting all this information from a database and sending as an attachment to the customer. Now I would need making these filename's which are attached to be dynamic based on the input parameters.
In datadriven subscriptions, the option of include report has only true or false values and another option was to take from a database. I tried putting the dynamic file name in the database and getting the value from the database but no success, the subscription itself is failing here. I guess I am doing something wrong here by binding the report name from the value which I am getting from DB to the actual report name.
If report name = Mytransactions, and the parameters passed are Card = 123,fromdate = 1/1/2010,todate = 31/3/2010.
Now in the attachment the file name should be something like "Mytransactions_123_January1st2010_March31st2010". How to make the filename dynamic.
My primary (and only) data file has reached the point where it is auto growing. I would like to grow this file in one big chunk at an off peak time. I can't seem to find the code I need to make the file grow when I want it to?
I encounter one weird problem, I have a database with around 7 GB ...when I delete a bunch of data from it, it suppose to reduce thedatabase file size, but weirdly, the file size increase to 8 GB.Wondering why. Is it suppose to be like that?Is it the architecture is designed to work like that?Is there any way for me to reduce the database file size?Thanks.Peter CCH
I am trying to track the size of my SQL Server database. Could someone please tell me if the "Data File Size (KB)" counter of the "Databases" performance object of SQL Server actually gives the size of the database?
I dont know if i have posted this query in the correct category, sorry if i haven't, but could not find any suitable category for this thread.
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?
I have a report that gets sends out through a subscription and sometimes the report has multiple pages and all those pages appear within one email.Is it possible to set the subscription in such a way that an email is sent per page when the subscription executes.
We have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 instance and it's having Share Point 2010 databases.
We have 2 dedicated drives for Tempdb on SAN with 50 GB space. Both tempdb data & log files are created with default size. I would like to presize them.
What are the best values to start with?
U ->Tempdbdata having tempdb.mdf file V->Tempdblog having templog.ldf file
Need to confirm if we can add space(increase data file size) for the database which is configured for always on similar to that of mirroring or we need to follow any different procedure.
I have a requirement wherein the datafiles on both the primary and secondary replica got full, if i add space to the primary database will it automatically get added to the secondary replica or not?
