SQL Server 2008 :: Virtual Log Files And Determining Right Growth Size

Oct 14, 2015

Any 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.

Determining Database Role Of Querying User

Dec 7, 2007

I know that I can use:

IS_MEMBER('MyRoleName') = 1

to determine if a user is a member of a predetermined role, but how do I ask what the role name of the querying user is instead? Basically I want to do something like:

SELECT * FROM CityTable WHERE City IN (SELECT City FROM CitySecurity WHERE SelectGroup = ROLE_NAME)

I'm doing this because the "CitySecurity" table contains security information from another system that has been imported into SQL Server, where the 'SelectGroup', as part of process, will be named the same as the SQL Server role.

Thanks,
Kayda

Table Size And Database Size

Mar 2, 2008

Hi,
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?

Database File Is Larger Than The Configured Max Database Size.

Feb 18, 2008

Hello,

I am developing a smart device application with Visual Studio .Net 2005 and SQL Server Compact Edition database. And also using merge replication to synchronize the data from the mobile device to the SQL Server.

My database size is around 350MB. So when I am trying to synchronize this is the error message that I get.
" The database file is larger than the configured maximum database size. The setting takes effect on the first concurrent database connection only.[Required Max Database size ( in MB; 0 if unknown)=129].

I tried changing the Max database size in the connection string and my connection string looks as follows and still did not have any luck.

connstr= "Data Source=Storage CardItems.sdf;Max Database Size=500;"

Any help regarding this would be appreciated.

Thank you
.

Determining Unique Children

Nov 17, 2005

Hi,

I need to be able to identify if a parent has the same child names as another parent.

Have a look at my data (in pic)

Can you think of a SELECT that will count for each parent, the number of other parents including themselves with all the same children's names?

So you would get something like:

Bob | 2
Bill | 1
Glen | 2

thanks,
david.

Determining A Range Of Values

Mar 29, 2012

suppose you have a large table with 2 columns

create table tick
(
ID bigint identity (1,1) primary key not null
, price money not null
)

and I want to know 3 things

Starting with ID = 1 through ID = (last)
give me the low and high price (that satisfies the below WHERE clause), and the last ID
WHERE high price - low price = 0.10
and the last ID (last) is the minimum ID to satisfy: high price - low price = 0.10

So the last ID will coincide with the record containing either the low or high price, the problem is you don't know which record in that range has the corresponding high/low price, it could be the first record or the 10,000th record.

I am thinking I need to create two summary tables, maybe calculate the min(ID) that goes down 0.01 then the min(ID) that goes down 0.02, etc...
Then calculate the min(ID) that goes up 0.01 then up 0.02, etc..finally join against these two summary tables to figure out which combination of downSummary and upSummary have a difference of 0.10.

Determining If SQL Statement Is A Query

Jul 27, 2007

Hi,

I have a C# server application which clients can send arbitrary SQL statements to. These can be absolutely anything - creating tables/views, selecting from tables/views, inserts, updates, deletes, you name it.

There are two return parameters from the server method which executes the SQL - a results set containing the data, and a count of the rows that were updated - (either one or the other should be populated depending on the type of command sent to it). To deal with this, what I planned on doing was (pseudocode follows..):

try
{
reader = OpenReaderCursor(statement)
}
catch
{
updatedCount = ExecuteNonQueryCommand(statement)
}

Unfortunately this doesn't really work, as OpenReaderCursor is able to execute Non Queries (eg. UPDATE/INSERT/DELETEs etc) but doesn't give me a row count, and trying the other way round, ExecuteNonQueryCommand is happy to execute SELECT statements, but I can't then of course return a results set as I don't have access to it.

My question then, if you will excuse the waffle above, is "Is there a simple way of determining if a string containing an SQL statement is a query?" - or will I have to come up with some way of dealing with this in my application code?

Please don't slate the design (ideally I would have two methods on the server, one for queries which returns results and the other for nonqueries which returns an updatecount) but there's nothing I can do, this is how it must be done (the interface was defined long long ago)

Thanks for your time, all ideas appreciated

Determining The OS Version That SQL Is Running On

Apr 30, 2007

I am writing a client application that offers an UI that allows an administrator to remotely add/delete/update user accounts accross many different SQL Servers running on XP and up.

When the operating system is W2K3 or higher I want to take advantage of the "check_expiration, check_policy, must_change' arguments to create login and exclude those features when the host OS does not support them.

Is there an easy way to determine if those arguments are supported?

Thanks

Database Size

Mar 1, 2002

We have a SQL server database most time for read only because the data source comes from another database( which is not SQL server database, now it is about 2G). Every day we have a job running as following:
Step 0. extra the data from another database, and create plain text files for each table for BCP job.
Step 1. drop all of the index
Step 2. truncate all of the tables.
Step 3. BCP in all of the data from plain text file.
Step 4. create all of the index again
Step 5. shirnk the database.

Everything runs fine but the database grows 1 G from yesterday's database. I am sure we do not have so much data entry in one day.
Any one can give some suggestion?
I wonder if I need do shirnk the database or shirnk the data file before create the index.
How can know how much size for all of the index file?
Thank you very much.
Judy
