I have a 28Gb temp db transaction log which I want to dump halfway through a process, I have tried;
dump tran tempdb with no_log
which seems to have little effect.
Thanks for your help.

My tempdb keeps filling up. A look at sysindexes indicates that all of the space used is in syslogs. Running dump tran (no_log, truncate_only), dump database, and checkpoint
give no relief. No transactions are open. Log and data are on shared devices (2MB on master device, 1024MB on a dedicated tempdb device).
Why won't my tempdb log dump off?
Thanks,
Chris
Does tempdb ever need to be shrunk, or have it's log (does it even have one) dumped or does sql server handle this chore?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I need to dump transaction log every night. Before I do that I'd like to check those open transactions and kill the ones not part of sa or SQL server dba's activity. How can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello:
I am working with an application in mssql 65.5, with sp4.
I have the database option 'truncatelog on checkpoint' set, there are no transaction log dumps taken at this time.
We plan now that y2k is over to upgrade to sp 5a. I am not not sure the new configuration
parameter 'logLRU buffers'(I don't have the sp5a readme text with me now) in our situation.
Here is our situtation with the transaction logs: The log, mostly with month-end high actvity,
fills up when long-running, high activity transactions are run.
The log gets to 100% sometimes rather quickly and sometimes near that or above 80%easily.
We check with dbcc open tran and there are no current transaction running. We expand the log just a little.
But it still shows 100@ used when we run dbcc sqlperf (logspace).
Here's the rub: when we try to dump the log, with wither or both back-to-back: dump tran abcdb
with truncate_only and then dump tran with no_log still nothing happens.
Sometimes we stop and start the mssql server and that helps but not always and sometimes when
we are really desperate we stop/start the NT server box(at off hours). Sometimes, the transaction log
reduces to nearly 0% used when we run dbcc sqlperf (logspace) and sometimes not. So we run dump tran
a couple of more times. We wait for several minutes usually to if the dump tan started and if it shows up
under EM under curent activity
This is becoming very frustrating and dangerous as well.
1) has any one had similar experiences with mssql 6.5 sp4?
2) Can anyone advise what we can do to more easily to dump the transaction log? Are we doing
any thing really wrong?
3) Would upgrading to sp 5a really help or should we just start planning upgrading to mssql 7.0?
Any suggestiosn you can furnish will be helpful. Thanks.

I have a transaction log that is 80% full and will not dump. I have used the "dump transaction dbname with no_log" command. It return the usual "This command did not return data, and it did not return any rows". However, this didn't do anything. The transaction log is still full. I don't want to restart the server if I don't have to. Any ideas?
View 5 Replies View Relatedis there any way to monitor the space utilisation of log space and if it crosses 60% or above, dump the transaction log, effectively....
i tried some of the things, given below.
1. script to monitor the space used of log using dbcc sqlperf(logspace) and check if crosses 60 % and dump the transaction into disk file and execute this script through a schedule task running every minute.
2. same result thro using sql server performance monitor.
Hi, I am trying to set up an auto dump for Transaction log using performance monitor ( Log space used(%) )... Although I followed the steps, it did not work... can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong ?
1. create an error # using Server/message/New etc...
2. Defined sql exec alert : right click sql exective/manage alerts/operators..
3. Defined performance monitor using add to alert and set Alert if radio botton to over %80.and Run_Program on Alert: c:mssqlinnE 5555 /T /S servername
then I inset 2000 rows is a table I still get :
Msg 1105, Level 17, State 1
Can't allocate space for object 'publishers' in database 'test' because the 'default' segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of the segment.
I thought what I did is the right thing to do, but it seems that I am doing something wrong, Please help.
Thanks

I am doing a differential backup every night with t-log backups every 15 mins. The differential backup occurs at 3:00a and is about 300 MB. The very next t-log backup at 3:15a is also about 300 MB instead of the usual 1 - 2 MB. Why is this and how can I avoid it? Is this just how SQL Server works? Do I have to do a full backup every night instead? Thanks in advance for your help.

hi, Does anyone have done this before. if so, please enlight me with your experience

I issued the following statement on my database as my log file showed 100% full.
However after running this command and also running it again after expanding the size
to almost double the value of both my database log and data devices it still shows the log as being 100% full.
DUMP TRANSACTION <database> WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY (and also used the NO_LOG option).
So can anyone tell me whats going wrong here? I should note that I am still able to enter data into the database without
any errors.
We are having problems around TempDB as follows:
Stored Procedure with complicated Select Into's can block the TempDB's Transaction Log from being dumped (Set to Truncate Log on Checkpoint).
TempDB = 600MB (Disk)
When this happens, most of the developers get blocked until the server is rebooted.
Is there something else I can do besides Trunacte Log on Checkpoint for TempDB? I was under the impression that TempDB should share data and log, but should I have a separate log device for tempdb?
Thanks in advance. we are tired of rebooting the server.
Hello,
I am new to SQL Server 2000 and I have a specific question about the transaction log for tempdb.
Is it true that when a user disconnects from SQL Server, not only are his/her objects in tempdb dropped but
references to those objects in the transaction log are dropped too? On several occassions I rebooted my
machine but I noticed that the same amount of log space in tempdb was still used (according to dbcc
sqlperf (logspace)). Any information would be appreciated.
HelloI have questions about how works transaction log et the databasetempdb in SQL Server and I hop you could help me- Is it possible to reduce the size of the transaction log fil duringan execution ? Indeed, I have a script inserting a very large quantityof data (many Go) and during that process my transaction log file useall the space avaible on my hard drive. Is there any way to solve thatproblem ?- Is it possible to limit the size of the database tempdb ? I have ananother script inserting data using a select joinning 2 tables ofabout 20 Go with group by. If I execute that script sql server seemsto freeze and I must kill the process. What can I do ? Is the onlysolution is that I must make more avaible space on my hard drive ?Thanks in advance for your answers.K.

Besides restarting and expanding, is there a quick way to remedy the error:
"The log file for database 'tempdb' is full. Back up the transactional log for the database to free up some log space."
But, you can't back up a tempdb, so I was wondering if anyone had some thoughts on this.
Thanks
Has anyone ever run across you Tempdb Transaction Log being full and getting an error 9002 severity 17 state 2? One issue is the tempdb was created with all the defaults 1mb in size. As well as my transaction log is now at 4 GIG in size.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have a stored procedure that uses temp tables and must gather a lot of data. When we stress test this stored procedure, the tempdb transaction log fills up.
We tried using "Select Into" for our tables. That caused us not to write to the transaction log but it caused problems because it locked up sysobjects.
Is there some other way not to write to the transaction log?
Hi
How to clear the Transaction Log of Tempdb?(Other than Restarting the SQL server)
Thanks in Advance
Regards

SQL2005 SP2+Cum.Patch Rrevision 4 (9.0.3175)
I always get this message, when i want to run a stonger query or a transaction that takes a longer time:
"The transaction log for database 'tempdb' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases"
I checked the log_reuse_wait_desc column: LOG_BACKUP
I ran tr log backup...nothing...
I tried to set to simple reco mode the db...this helped... temporaly...i got again below message.
( i wouldn't like to set to simple mode the db because the size of db is 160GB now....so i don't want to eun a fullbackup)
TempDB size is 50MB now and it can grow until 7GB.
The trqansaction log size is 14GB and there are 50GB free space, so it can grow.
This symptom occurs since i installed SP2 and the CP Rev.4.0
What is the real problem ?
I am relatively new to SQL Server so excuse my ignorance.
I have noticed in many of my SQL Server 2005 instances that the tempdb database is very often reporting the log mode as waiting active_transaction or waiting checkpoint.
Is this of concern, how can I determine the cause of these waits and how can they be reduced or eliminated ?
Is there a formula for calculating how expensive a transaction will be in terms of disk space used before its run. I dont want it accurate to the MB, but rough enough so I can determine how much additional space to assign to a transaction log or SAN volume.
Currently we're reindexing ~25billion rows, nothing too wide, say 12 columns consisting of 1 varchar(50) and the rest ints, bits and money.Roughly speaking if I reindex the clustered index on an int indetity, (with sort_in_tempdb) how would I calculate the the disk space used?
today I've put in production a big database accessed by 200 concurrent users, this database has READ_COMMITTED_SNAPHOT set to ON.I know that RCSI set to ON is very aggressive on tempDB so I'm monitoring it.I've noticed that the Transaction log space usage (%) on TempDB is slowly but ever increasing, I mean in the last 24 hours I've started from a 99% space free, now we are 37% space free...is it normal? TempDB log is 35GB in size.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHas anyone seen the SQL Server error:
"tempdb is skipped. You cannot run a query that requires tempdb"?
We're running a .Net web application with a SQL Server 2000 backend, and we get the error intermittently. Restarting the SQL Server service seems to fix it, as it causes tempdb to be rebuilt, but this isn't a long term solution. Any direction or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi All
I'm getting this when executing the code below. Going from W2K/SQL2k SP4 to XP/SQL2k SP4 over a dial-up link.
If I take away the begin tran and commit it works, but of course, if one statement fails I want a rollback. I'm executing this from a Delphi app, but I get the same from Qry Analyser.
I've tried both with and without the Set XACT . . ., and also tried with Set Implicit_Transactions off.

I have a design a SSIS Package for ETL Process. In my package i have to read the data from the tables and then insert into the another table of same structure.
for reading the data i have write the Dynamic TSQL based on some condition and based on that it is using 25 different function to populate the data into different 25 column. Tsql returning correct data and is working fine in Enterprise manager. But in my SSIS package it show me time out ERROR.
I have increase and decrease the time to catch the error but it is still there i have tried to set 0 for commandout Properties.
if i'm using the 0 for commandtime out then i'm getting the Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.

I am trying to dump my mssql DB so I can upload it to my web server.
I am using SQLDump v3.0b1 from sourceforge.net.
My problem is, when generating the dump file, any value greater than 1000 in a money column is set to 1.0000 in the dump file.
Does anyone know of a better program I should be using or a way for me to correct this?
My DB is huge and it would take far too much time to go through the dump file and correct the changed values.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanx
