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
Thanks,
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?
I have a database whose log file size is 4 time greater then data file size, and its continuously growing day by day. Recently face limited disk related issue.
Is there any way to truncate log file???
What is impact on db if i truncate log file???
Is there any way to prevent this file continuously growing???
Hi,
i'm trying to write this script that check my database file and log size(in MB) and insert them into a table.i need the following columns
dbid,dbname,compatability_level,recovery_model,db_size_in_MB,log_size_in_MB.
i try to write this a got stuck.
select sysdb.database_id,sysdb.name,sysdb.compatibility_level,
sysdb.recovery_model_desc,sysmaster.size from sys.databases sysdb,sys.master_files sysmaster
where sysdb.database_id = sysmaster.database_id
can anyone help me with this script?

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.
Howdy!
I need to find out when the data file and transaction log file is full. Is there any stored procedure that will let how much space left. We don't want to set Autogrow for the files.
Thanks,

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!
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello Guys,
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.
Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

I got below error :
Could not find allocate space for object 'tablename' in DB, because the primary file group is full
Upon investigation I found :
datafile is reached it's maximum size

It's production server, please let me know how to proceed now?
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 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?

Thanks in advance
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?
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?

V->Tempdblog having templog.ldf file

I have a SSIS package that opens an xml file, puts the contents into a string, then runs a stored procedure that dumps it into an xml column in a table. One of the xml files is huge. Putting the data into a ssis string causes an error. The length of the string variable is 58,231,886. The file will only get bigger.
How else can I get this data into a SQL Server XML field.
I 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?

question 1:
i found that database log file can contain more records after performing backup database statement.
for example:
i create a database and limit the log file to 2mb. then i create a table and insert data.
If i backup the database before i insert data , the database file can contain 192 records unitl the log file is full.
If i don't perform the 'backup database' statement.
The 'dbcc sqlperf(logspace)' indicate the utilization ratio is less than 40% after inserting 192 records
why?
I list my code:
Code Snippet
create database db_test
on primary
(
name=db_test,
filename='C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatadb_test.mdf'
)
log on
(
name=db_test_log,
filename='C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatadb_test_log.ldf',
maxsize=2mb
)
go
backup database db_test to disk='db_test.bak' --- if i don't execute this line, log file can contain a lot of record
go
create table db_test..table1(col char(8000))
--insert data to fill up the database log
declare @n int
set @n=0
while @n<192
begin
insert into db_test..table1 values(replicate('a',8000))
set @n=@n+1
end
question 2:
i create a database and limit the log file to 2mb. Then i create a table and insert data in an endless loop.
After the inserting operation executing for a while, the 9002 error occurs, indicate the log file for the database is full.
But the 'dbcc sqlperf(logspace)' command indicate the unilization ratio is low, and log_reuse_wait_desc in sys.database is 'CHECKPOINT'
And I can insert data , and i'm sure the state of log_use_wait_desc is 'CHECKPOINT'.
As i known, the checkpoint can't truncate log under full recovery model. Only the back log operation can truncate the transaction log.
So log is not full, why 9002 error is encounterd. and why the log_reuse_wait_desc return 'CHECKPOINT'?
I list my code:
Code Snippet
create database db_test
on primary
(
name=db_test,
filename='C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatadb_test.mdf'
)
log on
(
name=db_test_log,
filename='C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDatadb_test_log.ldf',
maxsize=2mb
)
go
create table db_test..table1(col char(8000))
--insert data to fill up the database log
declare @n int
set @n=0
while @n<>-1
begin
insert into db_test..table1 values(replicate('a',8000))
end
any suggestions?
thanks in advance.
Greetings:
I have a database that is 1.7terabyte in size with 136gb free and throws a "transport level error" telling me to discard the results when I run dbccshrinkfile ('DBNAME', size). I have tried various increments of size, from truncateonly to 1MB below its current value, and nothing works. I have tried to detach and reattach the db, restart the service, restart the server, and none have provided a solution. Any ideas?

I installed sql 2005 a while back. Then I recently found out my file system was fat32 (I don't understand why the hardware people did this...) and I had to convert to NTFS. Naturally the sql service no longer worked so I uninstalled inorder to reinstall now I can't reinstall it I keep getting this message
native_error=5039, msg=[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size.
I'll try to post the full log in a new post.
I have one db test with one .mdf and .ldf file...mdf file size is 100mb and for some reson i removed all the tablesfrom that .mdf file and transfer it into new secondary file so all thetables moved into secondary file now i want to reduce the first .mdffile from 100 mb to 50mb is that possible,it's showing 90mb is free.Please reply

Does anyone have experience with Full Text catalogs on large tables? We have a full text catalog on a table with about 30 million rows. Acording to BOL, once you get over 1 million you'll need to make some adjustements. Our system works, but we randomly get the following errors with ad hoc queries. The server has 8GB of RAM and 4 3GHz processors. Does anyone have experience working with a table this big? Any suggetions as to what could cause these errors? The only thing I could find was BUG#: 469483 on MS's site, but we're not using any OR clauses
Thanks

The Upgrade Advisor noted that SQL Server 2005 changed the way full text catalogs are utilized. It says that you must ensure tha tthe file group associated with the base table has enough space to accomodate the additional space requirements for full-text indexes. It says to use the formula (2*FTK + 34 bytes) * RC where FTK=full text key size and RC=rowcount of the table. I know which table but if I do sp_help on the table, it doesn't tell me anything about the size of the full text key. I've tried searching TechNet and I'm either not finding the answer or I don't know enough to know if it's there. Can anybody help me?

I think, therefore I am - Rene Descartes
Has anyone come across a more accurate method than sp_spaceused to estimate the size of a full database backup for SQL Server 2000 ?
I have found this to have too great a variance (even after running updateusage) to rely on any accuracy for it. I have also looked at perhaps using the ALLOCATED Pages indicated in the GAM pages but this also seems to be pretty inaccurate.
I have a number of servers where space can be limited and backups using Maintenance Plans have occasionally failed because they delete the old backups AFTER they do the latest one. I am writing a script which can check the space remaining and adjust the backup accordingly but the variance I have observed so far with sp_spaceused is too great.
Any ideas welcomed.
I have a question regarding FUll and differential backup.
We we take full or diff back up, does it create lot of logs ie. Does full or diff backup has any impact on log size?
