I have a database that seem run out of space
I click my database properties and show this info
Size:139,19 MB
Space Available: 0,00MB
maybe thats why I cant input new data on my table, but when I do this
EXEC sp_spaceused 'MyTable', I got this info
rows: 74
reserved: 112 KB
data 32 KB
index_size: 24 KB
unused: 56 KB
And this is why i confuse, if I run out of space why my database have 0,00 MB but MyTable have unused 56 KB??
how to enlarge the database size??
thx
The value of one of the columns in my table is 14000 lines(678913 characters). The datatype of that column is varchar(MAX). I am doing the following select query but its truncating the results.
select value -- this is truncating the text.
from dbo.GUISETTINGS
The length is shown as below when I do the query:
SELECT DATALENGTH(VALUE) from dbo.GUISETTINGS -- return 707951 as the length.Â
I even tried running the query below but still the value is getting truncated. However, if I right-click and select "Save Results As" a file, then it shows all the lines/characters fine.
select value, cast(value as text), cast(value as varchar(max))
from dbo.GUISETTINGS
How can I get whole column value ?
Is it safe to change 'max text repl size (B)' on a live system while it is running with users and services running?? I'm using SQL Server 7.0 running on Windows 2000.

Does anyone have experience with Full Text catalogs on large tables? We have a full text catalog on a table with about 30 million rows. Acording to BOL, once you get over 1 million you'll need to make some adjustements. Our system works, but we randomly get the following errors with ad hoc queries. The server has 8GB of RAM and 4 3GHz processors. Does anyone have experience working with a table this big? Any suggetions as to what could cause these errors? The only thing I could find was BUG#: 469483 on MS's site, but we're not using any OR clauses
Thanks
Here's the errors....

The Upgrade Advisor noted that SQL Server 2005 changed the way full text catalogs are utilized. It says that you must ensure tha tthe file group associated with the base table has enough space to accomodate the additional space requirements for full-text indexes. It says to use the formula (2*FTK + 34 bytes) * RC where FTK=full text key size and RC=rowcount of the table. I know which table but if I do sp_help on the table, it doesn't tell me anything about the size of the full text key. I've tried searching TechNet and I'm either not finding the answer or I don't know enough to know if it's there. Can anybody help me?

Hi,
I wrote this sql function which takes a comma seperated string of numbers, splits the numbers seperately and stores it in a table. I have specified the input parameter type as text instead of varchar, the size of the string can get more than 8000.
But the function is not working properly if the input size is more than 8000. For example if the input string is of length 8005 and this is the input string from 7995 to 8005 - '123,124,125'. It works fine till 123 and after that it throws an error, Syntax error converting the varchar value '124,125' to a column of data type int. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this. I am using string functions like charindex, substring. I can post the full function if you want.
Thanks.

I have a matrix with a title column. My matrix has a column that is expanded in 2 with data changes
as followings:

How can I change de title (MY TITLE2) differently according to the changing value of the dynamic data column ?
My title2 has to be located above the YEAR 2008 and has to be different from MY TITLE 1.
Thank you for your help.

Hello :
In a title of a column of a table, I put a too long text, with sorting, but when I spread (display) the report has a problem on text of the title of the column there.
The probleme settles (arises) when I activate the sorting to post (show) the image of sorting.
How to fit the size of the cell to the text?
Thenk's.
I am stuck! and need help!
I have a problem I can't seem to find the solution with this aweful limitations on VARCHAR fields of 255.
Within a stored procedure called Store_Check, I need to dynamically build a string (@string) using VARCHAR(255) since the text datatype can't be used in a stored procedure.
So,this string is built according to whether the Store ID is NOT NULL. So if the StoreID is not null, I start building this string 'Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID1, @address2'. There are 20 StoreID's passed into Store_Check. IF all 20 StoreID's are not NULL, the executed String greatly exceeds 255 because the string winds up looking like this
'Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID1, @address1 Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID2, @address2 Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID3, @address3 Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID4, @address4 Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID5, @address5 Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID6, @address6 etc. etc.'
I am not executing this string within the StoredCheck procedure. It needs to be passed as ONE string to a VB program and it gets executed by the VB program. Even if I create 4 local variables and concatenate them, it stops at the 255th character.
Also, a local varialbe of type TEXT cannot be declared within stored procedure.
What can I do? I am stuck!

Impact on performance of changing Text column size.
However, many of them were regarding older releases of SQL Server.
Does the architecture in 2012, 2014 releases make this less of an issue ?
In other words, why bother going from Varchar(1000) to Varchar(50) ?
I'm just thinking maybe there is column compression automatically now.
Hello,A while back I dropped a text column from a SQL Server 7 databaseroughly 3GB in size. I expected the size of the database to decreaseby around 1GB, but no change occurred. After searching usenet, Idiscovered that SQL Server 7 has no way of reclaiming that space, butthat there is some command that can be run in SQL Server 2000 thatwill reclaim it.I have since migrated this database to SQL Server 2000, and am nowtrying to figure out what that command is, but cannot locate anyusenet posts about it... also tried searching books online, but can'tfind anything that way either.Does anyone know what I should run?Thanks,Tom
View 6 Replies View RelatedI received a pipe-delimited file that I need to import. (It has the equivalent of 650+ fields on a single row). While I had no issue importing it (SSIS 2008) I noticed that the input connector, Advanced option, shows an "OutputColumnWidth" of only 50 for all fields.
I say only 50 because some of the pipe-delimited fields can supposedly have a max of 250 characters so I'm concerned about potential data truncation. Unless someone has another thought I plan to manually set those OutputColumnWidth fields to 250.

Hi 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.

Using 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

Just 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

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 ?
Does anyone know what the reason for this could be ? And how to clean this up ?

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?

Here 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.
OK, I have all of my SS2k sproc scripts saved as
owner.sprocname.prc
Because EM scripted them out that way
Now that we are using MS, it doesn't recognize the script, it doesn't highlight the code, and doesn't connect to a server
Can a change this somewhere?
I've got all of my scripts in pvcs as *.prc and I'd rather not have to change it
Any ideas?

Can I run SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) from a workstation or do I need to Remote into the server? (SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition)
My workstation already has VS 2005 installed.
Thanks.
I installed Visual Studio over a year and a half ago when I became a Microsoft ISV. I have done all of my SQL Server work from within the Visual Studio framework and UI. I recently was asked to document how a customer's users would set up the customer's system using SQL Server 2005, but not having Visual Studio. I got the book Beginning SQL Server 2005 for Developers and immediately ran into a wall. Dewson (the author) talks about the SQL Server Management Studio. He says you get to it by Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > Sql Server Management Studio. When I tried, I went Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > Configuration Tools.
I have reinstalled my SQL Server 2005 Developer's edition and installed SQL Server 2005 Standard edition every way I can see, but I still can't get SSMS to come up. What am I doing wrong?
I am running XP Pro 2002 with SP 2. It is on a thinkpad with P4-M 1.8 ghz and 512 mb RAM. My Add/Remove programs says I have SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility, SQL Server Native Client, SQL Server Setup Support Files, and SQL Server VSS Writer installed.
