Transact SQL :: Error - Maximum Row Size Exceeds Allowed Maximum Of 8060 Bytes
Sep 12, 2015I have some code I build 2 weeks ago which I’ve been running daily but it’s suddenly stopped working with the following error.
“The table "tbl_Intraday_Tmp" has been created, but its maximum row size exceeds the allowed maximum of 8060 bytes. INSERT or UPDATE to this table will fail if the resulting row exceeds the size limit” When I google this there seems to be a related to tables with vast numbers of columns.
My table tbl_Intraday_tmp is relatively small. It has 7 columns. 1 of varchar(5), 3 of decimal(9,3) and 2 of decimal(18,0). The bit I’m puzzled with is it was working and stopped.
I don’t recall changing anything but I wouldn’t rule that out. I ‘ve inspected the source files and I don’t believe they have changed either.
DECLARE
@FileName varchar(50),
@Path varchar(50),
@SqlCmd varchar(1000)
= '',
@ASXCode varchar(5),
@Offset decimal(18,0),

Maximum Possible Database Size
Sep 20, 2007I posted this in another area and didn't get an answer, so maybe I posted it in the wrong place. Forgive me if you've seen this twice.
I'm trying to figure out what the ultimate size limitation for a SQL 2005 Enterprise server is. This document is helpful but I'm a bit confused:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143432.aspx
In the document, it says that the maximum database size is 524,258 terabytes; however, it also says that the maximum data file size--which I assume is the .MDF file--is 16 terabytes. My question is, how can you create a 524,258 TB database if the maximum file size 16 TB?
Dumb question, I'm sure...please enlighten me!

Last GASP On Insert Row In Table With Identity Field, And Get New Identity Back ?
Jul 9, 2006While I have learned a lot from this thread I am still basically confused about the issues involved.
.I wanted to INSERT a record in a parent table, get the Identity back and use it in a child table. Seems simple.
To my knowledge, mine would be the only process running that would update these tables. I was told that there is no guarantee, because the OLEDB provider could write the second destination row before the first, that the proper parent-child relationship would be generated as expected. It was recommended that I create my own variable in memory to hold the Identity value and use that in my SSIS package.
1. A simple example SSIS .dts example illustrating the approach of using a variable for identity would be helpful.
2. Suppose I actually had two processes updating these tables, running at the same time. Then it seems the "variable" method will also have its problems. Is there a final solution other than locking the tables involved prior to updating them or doing something crazy like using a GUID for the primary key!
3. We have done the type of parent-child inserts I originally described from t-sql for years without any apparent problems. (Maybe we were just lucky.) Is the entire issue simply a t-sql one or does SSIS add a layer of complexity beyond t-sql that needs to be addressed?
TIA,

Insert Row In Table With Identity Field, And Get New Identity Back
Jun 30, 2006I want to insert a new record into a table with an Identity field and return the new Identify field value back to the data stream (for later insertion as a foreign key in another table).
What is the most direct way to do this in SSIS?
TIA,

P.S. Or should I pass the identity value back in a variable and not make it part of the data stream?
Recovery :: Instance Still Accessible If Transaction Log Reached Maximum Size?
Oct 12, 2015One of our production databases was setup mirroring, log shipping and replication on it, the log file was setup unrestricted growth. This morning one index rebuilding process generated lots of logs, and the log file disk ran out of space, the database was in recovery mode. so we had to disable log shipping, pause mirroring and replication, expand log file disk, restarted SQL instance to fix the issue. Now we want to setup the log file to maximum size 80G, the whole log file disk is 120G.
So if the log file reached 80G next time, we can change the max size to 90G or 100G and it's easier to fix the space issue. My question is, if the database log file reached max size,
1. is the database still available?
2. Will the active session causing the issue be rollback to release space back?
OLE DB Destination - Fast Load With Maximum Insert Commit Size
Sep 8, 2006I'm seeing some strange behavior from the OLE DB Destination when using the "fast load" access mode and setting the "Maximum insert commit size".
When I do not set the "Rows per batch" or the "Maximum insert commit size", the package I'm working with inserts 123,070 rows using a single "insert bulk" statement. The data seems to flow through the pipeline until it gets to the OLE DB Destination and then I see a short pause. I'm assuming the pause is from the "insert bulk" statement handling all of the rows at once.
When I set the "Rows per batch" option but leave the "Maximum insert commit size" alone, I generally see the same behavior -- a single "insert bulk" statement that handles all 123,070. In this case, however, the "insert bulk" statement has a "ROWS_PER_BATCH" option appended to the statement that matches the "Rows per batch" setting. This makes sense. I'm assuming the "insert bulk" then "batches" the rows into multiple insert statements (although I'm unsure of how to confirm this). This version of the "insert bulk" statement appears to run in about the same time as the case above.
When I set the "Maximum insert commit size" option and leave the "Rows per batch" statement alone, I see multiple "insert bulk" statements being executed, each handling the lower of either the value I specify for the "Maximum insert commit size" or the number of rows in a single buffer flowing through the pipeline. In my testing, the number of rows in a buffer was 9,681. So, if I set the "Maximum insert commit size" to 5,000, I see two "insert bulk" statements for each buffer that flows into the OLE DB Destination (one handling 5,000 rows and one handling 4,681 rows). If I set the "Maximum insert commit size" to 10,000, I see a single "insert bulk" statement for each buffer that flows into the OLE DB Destination (handling 9,681 rows).
Now the problem. When I set the "Maximum insert commit size" as described in the last case above, I see LONG pauses between buffers being handled by the OLE DB Destination. For example, I might see one buffer of data flow through (and be handled by one or more "insert bulk" statements based on the "Maximum insert commit size" setting), then see a 2-3 minute pause before the next buffer of data is handled (with its one or more "insert bulk" statements being executed). Then I might see a 4-5 minute pause before the next buffer of data is handled. The pause between the buffers being passed through the OLE DB Destination (and handled via the "insert bulk" statements) is sometimes shorter, sometimes longer.
Using Profiler, I don't see any other activity going on within the database or within SQL Server itself that would explain the pauses between the buffers being handled by the OLE DB Destination and the resulting "insert bulk" statements...
Can anyone explain what is going on here? Is setting the "Maximum insert commit size" a bad idea? What are the differences between it and the "Rows per batch" setting and what are the recommended uses of these two options to try to improve the performance of the insert (particularly when handling millions of rows)?
TIA for any thoughts or information...

How To Select The Row That Has The Maximum Value In One Field
Sep 21, 2006This has me stumped.
I have a table UnitRateItems with the following columns
ItemID, Description
and table UnitRates with the following columns
ItemID,Year,UnitRate
UnitRateItems and UnitRates have a primary-foreign key relationship on ItemID.
In UnitRates, there may be several rows with the same value for ItemID but a different value for Year. What I want to do is pick the row with the largest value of Year for a given ItemID. I want to do this for ALL the rows in the table (not just for a particular ItemID).
In other words, I want to return one row in UnitRates for each row in UnitRateItems. I want that one row to be the one with the highest Year for that ItemID.
It sounds simple, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. The MAX function only works on a single column. I can get the MAX Year, but then I can't tell it "pick up the other values that go with the row with the MAX Year".
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Informix Date Type Field To SQL Server Datetime Field Error

I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package
using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP
errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part
I tried a couple of things:
Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.
Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them
as datetime but it failed.

Selecting Maximum From A Varchar Field In A Data Flow
May 31, 2006I have a problem selecting maximum values inside a data flow, when the field is varchar. For example, I could have an incoming text file with following rows (the real life problem is a bit more complicated, but the idea is the same)
ID Desc
1 Car
1 Truck
1 Bicycle
2 Horse
2 Cow
Now I would like to group by ID, and have the maximum value from the Desc field, resulting
ID Desc
1 Truck
2 Horse
I tried to sort the data flow first with ID ascending and Desc descending, followed by sort with ID ascending and "Remove duplicate sort values" turned on. However, the sort does not seem to select the first Desc value it gets, because the result is.
ID Desc
1 Bicycle
2 Horse

Auto Identity For Each Type
Jan 9, 2007Hello,
I am working on an accounting system using VB.NET and sql server 2005 as a database. the application should be used by multiple users.
i have a the following structure:
Voucher: ID (primary), Date,TypeID, ReferenceCode, .....
Type: ID, Code, Name. (the user can add new type anytime!)
(Ex: PV- payment voucher, JV - Journal Voucher ,....)
When adding a voucher the user will choose a type, according to this type (for each year) a counter will be increminted.
for example: PV1, PV2....PV233,... the other type will have its separate counter JV1, JV2 ,...JV4569,..
I am using the sqlTransaction cause i am doing other operations that should be transactional with the insertion of the Voucher.
The question is :
What is the best solution to generate a counter for each type?(With code sample)
Thanks.
