I have a database that is growing by 40 to 50 megs a day. I understand that the '_W' objects are statisical information for query performance and not indexes, but does anybody know how much disk space is actually used by these objects. I do have the 'auto create statistics' and 'auto update statistics' set on.
View 1 RepliesWe have a database that's growing pretty fast because of firewall logs. We need the data available via an asp.net application. I don't have great experience with SQL other than installing and doing some development as a back end, so i'm wondering if there's a general rule of thumb of database size, when you should start breaking it out into smaller segments? if so, what are some good practices?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a database that seems to have grown out of control. I have tried deleting tables, but that has not really reduced the size. What could have caused the database to grow this big and what can I do to reduce it's size. I have backed up, truncated the logs, ran the shrink database command, all to no avail. Pleas help.

I have question about database automatically growing for SQL Server 7. It seems to me that SQL database automatically grow will ONLY happen when it's getting really full, maybe above 90% full. Even if you manually increase the DB size, actually the increased DB size will only keep very short time. And DB size will be back to the smaller size again. If you have any suggestions I will be really appreciated. Thanks
for the first time in my long SQL DBA live I see such a behaviours. My tempdb database is growing every damn second since a this morning. Now it reached 30Gb, the log file is empty (217 Mb).
We use SQL 2000 Ent on Win 2000 Advance Server. Running Siebel Call Center (7.5 ver) with about 300 users.
Some users time to time obtain and hold a huge amount Exclusive locks on the tempdb extents
Where do I look for a leak?
Any ideas?
thx

Hi All.I'm currently maintaining 4 servers - 1 for public/customers and 3for backups, development, etc...I regularly backup the entire SQL database for our public server andrestore it on each of the other servers. Lately, however, the databasebackups have grown (in size) incredibly fast - they've gone from about200MB to 2+ GB in 2 months. (I wasn't entirely surprised by this atfirst since our client traffic has drastically increased as well.) Theweird thing, though, is that (on two of the backup servers) when Irestore the backup then use those servers to create a new completebackup, the new backup is only about 200-300 MB in size.My assumption is that there's some kind of setting buried deep insidethe sql configuration allowing it to compress or otherwise alterbackups. Does anyone have any ideas/thoughts as to what may be causingthis issue?We're using SQL Server 7 on Windows 2000 servers.Thanks in advance.GreggJoin Bytes!
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe're a very small company, I’m the “technical” director who has evolved enough skill in a wide variety of tasks (network setup, machine config, email systems, html, asp, database...) and then one day you notice that parts of the system are starting to get way more complex and troublesome than the layman knowledge you have can cope with... Well, I think I’ve got to that point and I need some outside help to get our system to the next level!
OK, some rough details to start with. We run a small but fast-growing vehicle tracking system that sends back a LOT of data via GPRS to our SQL 2000 Enterprise server hosted on a dedicated server in London. The physical machine is a P4 3.2Ghz Dual-core Dell rackmount with 2GB RAM and 2 x 76GB SCSI disks in a RAID 1 array. This is partitioned into a 15GB C: partition and a 51GB D: partition. The system paging file is set to be 1536MB and is on the C: partition. The server is used for everything we do... it runs Smartermail email server (only about 5 or 6 domains and a few users, hardly used at all), SQL server as mentioned, web server & the proxy software that receives incoming data from our tracking devices.
There are 9 or 10 active databases on the SQL server. 8 of them take up less than a gigabyte between them and are sparingly used. The main “active” database on the SQL server is the tracking system – and this is big... As our tracking devices send in data every 10 – 30 seconds, the database is hit with hundreds of thousands of events per day. On a weekday, some half a million rows of data are written to the main “events” table on the database. Over 7 days from 26th November to 2nd December, almost exactly 3 million rows of data were written to the events table. We undertake to hold 3 months or so of data “live” for our customers and I periodically archive data off. I’ve been too busy to archive recently and the database is holding data on the events table going back to July 1st. The physical .mdf file is just under 30GB on partition d: at present. The plan is to drop the active data stored to only 1 – 2 months, but this still leaves a 12GB .mdf file.
The worrying thing with this is that this is only 700 or so devices writing to us at present... we aim to have thousands out there soon! We are looking into how we can hugely improve system performance and look to the future. Our hosting company is recommending VMWare virtual servers and SAN storage, but I’m not entirely sure that is the best way forward.
Our non-tech MD thinks the way forward is to have one database per customer and can't understand when I tell him I think that's bad as it will create all the system tables and bits & pieces for EVERY customer if we do that, right? Also it would be a nightmare to add a new column to a table as I'd have to update every single version of the database too... I want to avoid this unless I'm missing something and this is actually the best way to go forward?
I've had someone mention horizontal partitioning to me? not sure what implications this has to coding and table naming? Or is it all one big database spread among separate servers?
Currently our server is drowning on disk access and it's only going to get worse... any suggestions or links to reading online that I can do would be great, thanks!

Hi All,
Database size is not increasing automatically ,however I have set it as unlimited growth. Any idea about this ?
thanks for in advance,

I upgraded from SQL 6.5 to SQL 7 last month, and so far, everything's
been going fine.
However, I'm not using my old SQL 6.5 backup scripts, which, when the
backup was done, would dump the transaction log with TRUNCATE_ONLY, shrinking
the log size.
My SQL 7 server is set up with a Maintenance Plan which does everything,
including backup, but the log file seems to be growing and growing. I'm
up to 4.5 gigs now, for a database with a data file of 3.5 gigs.
How do I "dump transaction with TRUNCATE_ONLY" on a SQL 7 database?
Thanks,

I have merge replication setup up for 6 SQLCE Subscribers.
I have noticed that the MSmerge_tombstone table is growing
at a fast rate regardless of any changes to the data in
the database. It seems to be consistantly adding 50 rows
of data to the table every 2 minutes. As the table grows
it causes the SQLCE subscirbers to fail with the following
message:
ERROR: -2147467259
SQL Server Reconciler failed: Run
ERROR: -2147200925
: Failed to enumerate changes in the filtered
articles.
ERROR: 0
: {call sp_MSsetupbelongs
(?,?,?,?,?,0,?,?,1,?,?,?,?,?,?)}
ERROR: 0
: The merge process timed out while executing a
query. Reconfigure the QueryTimeout parameter and retry
the operation.
I'm sure that this is due to the size of the
MSmerge_tombstone.
Should the MSmerge_tombstone table grow at this rate?
36,000 rows every 24hrs!
I understand there is the sp_mergecleanupmetadata Stored
procedure but if i use this does that mean that because i
have to reinitialise all the subscribers, they are going
to have to pull down the whole subscription again.
I have since Changed a settings to make subscription
expiration date to 8 days instead of never expires but
we're still getting 50 rows added every 2 minutes

Hope someone can shed some light on this for me.

Index was outside the bounds of the array
When working with a SQL Server 2005 database and ASP.NET,
I get this error when trying to pull a small amount of data from the database,
Any help would be great, thanks a lot
I work for a large company, so I have to watch the code I release.
Hi,
I really don't know why I'm getting this error! Index was outside the bounds of the array.
I am reading a comma-delimited flat file, line by line. This is part of my script component:
Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
Dim rowValues As String()
rowValues = Row.Line.Split(columnDelimiter) 'parse rows by comma
Row.col1 = rowValues(0).Replace("""", String.Empty)
Row.col2 = rowValues(1).Replace("""", String.Empty)
I've done this quite a few times before in other packages. WHY is it telling me that rowValues(1) is out of bounds?? I've commented out EVERYTHING in my script, except for these 2 rows. If I comment out Row.col2, I don't get the out of bounds error. If I include Row.col2, I get the out of bounds error, so it doesn't like rowValues(1).
The file has 13 columns in it. A row looks like this:
"ATMC","004930202",529.000000,"L",11.380000,6020.020000,7210.270000,6072.920000,"BSZTX","MTPO",,"Equities","My Fund Appreciation","06/30/2006"
Thanks
On the data tab in reporting services I have just named the stored procedure I wish to run. This Stored procedure expects a datetime parameter. When I select run in the data tab and enter the date (I have tried various different formats) the error "Index was outside the bounds of the array. (system data)". Does anyone know how this can be solved? it seems a simple issue but is turning into a pain to sort out.

I am getting an intermittent problem with executing queries on my workstation. Whenever I execute a couple of store procedures that return a large numbers of rows (200,000 to 500,000 rows) I receive an intermittent error message when running the same sp with the same parameters sometimes the procedure runs fine and returns the result, sometimes I get an error message
Error message is: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
Sometimes
Error message is: Internal connection fatal error.
Sometimes I get a datetime overflow
I also occasionally get these intermittent messages when I execute the native query that the SP wraps.
I have SSMS 2015 SP1 installed on my workstation, the servers are a range of server from 2008 R2 SP2 to 2014 SP1. It feels like a client problem as there are applications connecting to these servers and running the stored procedures without issue...
Hi
If I delete 5 or more columns from a table I get the error "Index was outside the bounds of the array", OK is the only response. I then have to close the report and then open it again.
Easy fix is don't delete more than 5 columns, but my template is setup with 15 columns as it's far quicker to delete them as it is to add them 1 by 1 each time. I've finally got around to looking for a hotfix or something similar but can find no mention of this exact error relating to table column deleting.
Anyone else experience this or know if there is a hotfix for it?
Thanks

I wonder if anyone could explain why when monitoring the transaction log size it doesn't appear to be growing! I'm using the following code to test image data types with logging.. I've got 'Truncate log on Checkpoint' switched off and 'Select into Bulk copy' also switched off.
Running the following code I would expect to see the transaction log grow and grow and grow... Monitoring it using perfmon indicates that it isn't in fact logging...
DECLARE @ptrval varbinary(16)
SELECT @ptrval = TEXTPTR(pr_info)
FROM pub_info pr INNER JOIN publishers p
ON p.pub_id = pr.pub_id
AND p.pub_name = 'New Moon Books'
declare @Loop int
select @Loop = 0
While @Loop <= 10000
BEGIN
WRITETEXT pub_info.pr_info @ptrval
with log
'New Moon Books (NMB) '
select @Loop = @Loop + 1
END
Hello,
Does 7.0 store db Growth rate information?
I am looking for information that tells me how fast a db is growing in MB and or percentages over a given period of time, ie weekly, monthly, yearly etc. Either in real numbers or estimates. Does 7.0 already store something like this or do I need to create some code for this?
Or does someone have something like this already coded that they would be willing to share?
Thank you in advance.

In SQL Server 7.0 sp1 (NT 4.0 sp5) I have a server that
has a tempdb database that continues to grow. This server
contains the database for SMS. Over the weekend, the tempdb
had grown so much that it filled up the drive (37GB). I have
shrunk it down to a much more reasonable size and put a limit
on how large it can grow. I'm noticing today that it is
beginning to grow again. Is there a way I can look at the
information that is in tempdb right now? I have to think
that there are open transactions for some reason that can't
commit. I know that tempdb gets cleared out when SQL Server
is restarted, but I can't be restarting it this often.
On Microsoft's website, I did find an article about SMS Y2K
queries using large amounts of Tempdb and failing to complete.
The solution they have in this article Q234912 is to install
SMS sp1 which is already installed.
I haven't been able to find any other useful information yet
on this problem. I would appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks!

Greetings,
My database has a situation where my transaction log is growing out of control. However I have not been able to figure out where any memory leaks are occuring.
Is there a way to monitor the database in order to find out at when the tlog is growing. Or even better, what sql is being executed that is causing this unreasonable tlog growth?
Thanks a million,

Hi,
I'm getting this SQL server log...
The log file for database 'P5_Nextel' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space
What i'm doing is, i just resizing the space allocated, but the problem is my disk is now out of space. How can i prevent this kind of problem without adding a new disk? Is there any other way?
Please advise.
Thanks!

Hi there,
My tempdb is growing from its normal size of 800MB to 2GB.
I've been shrinking it using dbcc shinkfile/ dbcc shrinkdatabase.
Everytime I run the command, immediately it says that the execution is completed and successful. However, when I checked the disk space, it remained the same, as though no shrinking is done. Can anyone help?
Also, it was published that restarting the SQL server can re-create tempdb from scratch. I've tried it too, the tempdb just wont go back to its normal allocation. My constraint is limited disk space, would appreciate any good samaritan to give me some help here.
Thanks in advance!
I am having problems with the transaction log growing. I set up a maintenance plan to backup every 15 minutes. The recovery model is set to full. It is set to auto grow by 10 percent with unrestricted file growth. The space allocated is 2mb. Should this be set higher? It seems whenever I unchecked the auto shrink, the log is growing larger. The command I use to check is:
SELECT *
FROM sysfiles
WHERE name LIKE '%LOG%'
GO
This is the log size and the log space used.
1.492187538.02356
This has grown 4 percent since yesterday. Are there any good practices to maintain these log files?Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,We have created a SQL server 2000 database. We observe that thetransaction log keeps growing over time. We are now about to run out ofspace. We have been periodically shrinking the database. Neverthelessthe size has increased. I would imagine that a transaction log can beeliminated if we stop the database. Can that be done? Is there a way tocompletely wipe off the transaction log?Thanks,Yash
