Different Size Of Data Files~~
Aug 14, 2006hi
just wondering if any expert out there can answer my question.
i got a database separate into 3 datafiles in 3 different drives.
i will name it A, B, C.
A datafile size 30G, B datafile size 15G, C datafile size 15G.
and the drive for datafile A is about full. so is there anyway i can more some of data from A datafile to other data file? or since A+B+C =60G can i make it all 20G for each one of them by any command? thanks!!! :)
Balancing Size Of Data Files In Filegroup
Apr 26, 2008Due to SQL's proportional fill algorithm I'd like to have the amount of data in my data files as close to equal as possible.
File sizes before:
dat 482,895 MB 0% free
2dat 436,927 MB 3% free
I made the max size of each file 600,000 MB and added a third file 3dat also 600,000 MB. I rebuilt all the clustered indexes (and nonclustered for good measure) and unfortunately the re-balancing wasn't quite right.
File sizes after:
dat 464,761 MB 77% free
2dat 443,234 MB 73% free
3dat 309,568 MB 51% free
I only have a handful of heap tables that take up <100MB total so they're not the issue. I did do an ONLINE index rebuild. I'm not sure if an offline rebuild would have been better. I will not be able to try and offline for a few weeks though as it's time consuming and I have other tasks I need to run on this test server now.
I did a FULLSCAN rebuild on any column statistics not updated by the index rebuild but that didn't help either.
LDF Files Size Gone To 200 GB
Jul 5, 2013My database .mdf file size is around 6 GB however .ldf file size is 200 GB.
Though I don't know exactly what .ldf file is, I believe maybe that is the reason why some of the stored procedures taking long time to run which were running good before.
Can I delete the .ldf file? If not, can I do something to reduce the file size?
The database (tables) are also replicated to another sql server in another computer.

Mar 27, 2014I am on SQL Server 2008 R2. I have a table that contains a field called [Location]. In that field is a UNC path to the physical file on the repository. Is there a way in SQL Server that I can say give me the select sum([Location] UNC file) where criteria? I saw some posts about xp_filesize or xp_GetFileDetails, but I do not see them in master. I am unable to add anything and wondering if there is any native functionality that would allow me to accomplish this!?

SQL Server 2008 :: Virtual Log Files And Determining Right Growth Size
Oct 14, 2015Any good starting point to understand for a specific db, how many max VLFs are good to have so that it does not cause long startup or backup times?
Also, I need some calculation so that I can identify a best growth parameter I will setup for each database ?
I'm seeing the below msg in errorlog and curious to know the changes (right sizing/growth) to be done? As of now 100 MB of log file growth value is set (refer: [URL] ....)
Database BizTalkMsgBoxDb has more than 1000 virtual log files which is excessive. Too many virtual log files can cause long startup and backup times. Consider shrinking the log and using a different growth increment to reduce the number of virtual log files.

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

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Separate Data Files / Log Files / TempDB / Backups
Jan 9, 2015I proposed on a new server that we separate Data Files, Log Files, tempDB, Backups, etc. onto separate LUNS on a SAN with High Speed Solid State Drives.I was told that with the new technology with solid state SAN's that it would decrease performance and that it did not work the same way as it did when you had RAID 5's etc.I thought that if things were cared out correctly by a SAN Administrator they would know how to configure for optimal performance.

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...

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

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 ?

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.

Script Task: How To Compare Files On FTP With Existing Files In Local Folder Before Transfer!
Apr 24, 2008In the first step of my SSIS package I need to get files from FTP and dump it/them in a local directory, but it's more than that, the logic is like this:
1. If no file(s) found, stop executing and send email saying no file(s) found;
2. If file(s) found, then compare it/them with existing files in our archive folder; if file(s) already exist in archive folder, stop executing and send email saying file(s) already existed, if file(s) not in archive folder yet, then transfer it/them to the local directory for processing.
I know i have to use a script task to do this and i did some research and found examples for each of the above 2 steps and not both combined, so that's why I need some help here to get the logic incorporated right.
Thanks for the help in advance and i apologize for the long lines of code!
