File Group Is Running Out Of Space?

Jul 21, 2015

I am currently SQL admin since our ordinary SQL folks are at summer vacation.

Yesterday SCOM alerted that File Group is running out of space on one not so critical database "The file group "PRIMARY" for the database "loganalys" in SQL instance "MSSQLSERVER" on computer "sqlserver2" is running out of space".

I logged in to the SQL server and checked the database in question. It is a very large DB with a size  of 577 GB.The storage on which the database files resides has 123 GB free space so that isn't the issue.

The database is set to autogrowth 1 MB at a time (unrestricted) so that doesn't seem to be the issue either.However, in the database properties under General, it says Space avaliable: 570 MB.

I guess that this may be the issue, that this is under some treshold for SCOM to alert on.I have looked at the other databases and they have everything between 0,25MB to 270MB space avaliable (they are all set to autogrowth 1 MB, unrestricted).

I am not sure what this means and if I have to do something about it?

TempDB Log File Running Out Of Free Space While Running DBCC CheckDB On Large Database

May 28, 2015

In my environment, there is maintenance plan configured on one of the server and while running DBCC checkdb on a database of size around 200GB, log file usage of tempdb is increasing and causing the maintenance job to fail.

What can I do to make the maintenance job run successfully, size of the tempdb database is only 50GB and recovery model is set to simple. It cannot be increased as the mount point on which it is residing is 50GB.

SQL 2012 :: Free Space After Moving Tables From One File Group To Another

Aug 13, 2014

Recently maintenance was done removing some tables from the original filegroup in one drive of our SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition 64bits to another created on a separate physical drive. I was expecting the full amount of data moved to the secondary filegroup to show up as unused on the primary filegroup but that doesn't seem to be the case. Do I have to do anything after the move to release that space, not to disk, but to the database as unused?

Why Is My Database Running Out Of Space Already!! (urgent)

Aug 28, 2001

I have a question on database size, specifically, what difference would I expect in the size of a db (the space actually used for data, not indexes) if I have one single data device vs. multiple data devices spanned across different physical drives. I have 2 customers that have identical database tables (all columns are integers), customer A has 27 million rows and customer B has 36 million rows. If I do an sp_spaceused on the table, customer A's data takes up 9.7 gig, whereas customer B only takes up 3.2 gig, even though it has 9 million more rows. Statistics have been updated, so I'm confident the sp_spaceused is accurate on both databases.

The only differences I can see between the 2 databases is that customer B has 5 separate data files (6 gig each) for the database which are part of the Primary filegroup. These files are all on the D: drive, which is a partition on a RAID 5 array. Customer A has a single large data file (24 gig), which is also on a RAID 5 array.

Any ideas?

Running Out Of Disk Space With Replication

Jun 22, 2004

We've got an internal database that replicates with another database server for our website.

Not all tables are replicated, some use merge and the others are snapshot based and published regularly to the public website facing server.

However, there's a lot of data (well, large textual data) that's being transferred and it seems to be generating massive log files that continue to grow and grow.

I'm fairly new to adminning an SQL Server box, so was wondering if anyone can tell me what the best way to keep it under control is? I've heard its possible to truncate the logs, effectively deleting any data that has already been processed by subscribing servers etc.?

As I said, I'm very much new to this and would really appreciate some guidance, if only to the right part of the SQL Server Books Online :)

Thanks,
Paul

SQL Server 2000 Running Out Of Space.

May 18, 2006

Hi, we have a SqlServer instance in production containing around 10databases.It has just been realised that all the db's are held on the small c:partition with only a gig or so of space left.On the server there is another partition and another hard disk bothwill ample space (few hundred gigs).What would be the best way of getting the data onto the otherpartitions with minimal impact on the applications. Can we move theprimary data files for each db? Should we just create secondary datafiles on the big partitions for all the db's? Is there a method ofmoving all the data at once?Any ideas on how we should approach this?(ps we dont have control of the sqlserver its outsourced, so simplerthe better).Thanks,Jim

Recovery :: SharePoint Database Run Out Space In AlwaysOn Availability Group

Jul 11, 2014

I have a situation where I have two servers in SQL Server 2012 R2 AlwaysOn Availability Group. One is primary and the other one being secondary.  I am only running SharePoint Database on it.I have run out of space on the primary server and about to run out of space at the secondary server.  I have tried shrinking database transaction log files, but it returns an error that it cannot be shrunk as the database is in the AlwaysOn Availability Group.

Questions:
1.  Several forums suggest that databases need to taken out of AlwaysOn Availability Group in order for the shrinking to work properply?
2.  Would it have any impact on the database if it is taken out of availability group and then added back?

Shrink File Tool From EM Took All The Empty Space Allocated To Data File

Jul 20, 2005

I've production sql server 7 sp3 on windows NT. I had a 8GB data file ofwhich 5GB were used and 3GB were unused. I wanted to take back the unused3GB.So I did the following with EM GUI:1. I tried to "truncate fre space from end of the file". Didn't truncatethe file. I believe there was no empty space at the end of the file.2. Next I chose the option to "shrink file to 5GB". And to my horror thedata file instead of taking just 5GB took the empty spaces also and the sizeof the used data file went to 8GB.Any idea what's going on?TIA,SP

How Do I Make 30 Sec Running Query (select C1 Sum(x) From T1 Where C1 &&> 1000 Group By C1) Run Faster?

Aug 10, 2007

It seems when I run the query with the set staticts IO on then statistic reports back with the 'work table', and the query takes 30+ sec. if the worktable is ommited(whatever the reason?) the query take less 1 sec.


Here is my take, I believe work table is created in tempdb...and if not then whole query is using the cached page, am I right?

if I am right then the theory is, if I increase the (via sp_configure) server min memory setting and min query memory, the query ought use the cached page and return in less 1 sec. (specially there is absolutely no one but me on the server), so far I can't make it go faster...what setting am I missing to make it run faster?


Another question is if the query can not avoid but use the tempdb, is it going to always be 30 sec+ time? why is tempdb involvement make it go so much slower?


Thanks in for you help in advance

Log File - Out Of Space

Mar 5, 2008

Hello,

I am trying to run SSIS project which is failing on one of the dataflow. This dataflow should create in Destination approximately 209,405,240 records. My flow is failing and the reason for it €“ size and log file.

This is the error I am getting.

An Ole db record is available. Source: €œMicrosoft SQL Native Client€? Hresult 0x80004005 Description: €œThe 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.

Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for eisting files in the filegroup.€?


Please let me know what can I do about it? Should I change some properties? How do I make it work and have better performance?

SQL 2012 :: DBCC Shrinkfile Empty File Not Distributing Data Evenly In Primary File Group With Multiple Files

Apr 29, 2014

Why shrinkfile empty file does not redistribute data evenly in the primary file group with multiple files:

Please run the script attached to see what the end result is.

This is what I set up last night on my test machine.

1) Create database [FGTest] size 200MB
2) Create table called TEST on primary
3) Insert 40MB of data into test
4) Create another file group called temp in primary size 200MB
5) Shrinkfile('FGTest',emptyfile) so that all data is transfered from FGTest into temp file group.
6) Add another 2 files called DATA2 and DATA3. Both are 200MB.
7) We now have 3 empty files that I want data distributed evenly on. FGTest, DATA2 & DATA3
8) Shrinkfile('temp',emptyfile) to move all the data from temp over the 3 file groups evenly

I would expect at this stage to have the following:

FGTest = 13MB,
DATA2 = 13MB,
DATA3 = 13MB

(40MB of data over 3 files should be about 13 MBish in each file)

What I actually end up with is this:

FGTest = 20MB
DATA1 = 10MB
DATA2 = 10MB

It looks as though SQL Server is allocating 50% of all data to the original file and then 50% evenly over
the remaining files in PRIMARY.

How Much Space Used In Each Transaction Log File

Mar 22, 2007

Is there a way to know how much space is free in each transaction log file of the same database?

Example:

A database with 3, 1GB files for transaction log: A, B and C created in this sequence.

From what I have read, since SQL Server 2005 writes to a single transaction log only, I guess if the transaction log is using 2.5GB than A and B are full and B is only half full. Is this correct?

Thanks.

Documented T-sql For File Space ?

Jun 27, 2006

Hi There

I would like to write sql to check that space used by any given data file in SS2000.

sp_spaceused only returns the total space used by the DB or object in the DB, not for a specific data file.

DBCC SHOWFILESTATS does give me this information , but it is not documented in BOL, i would prefer not to use an undocumented command to ensure future use in later versions. Is DBCC SHOWFILESTATS an undocumented T-SQL command ? If so what documented t-sql command will provide me with this information ?

I could query system table's and work this out , but as mentioned this may not not work in future versions of SS.

Thanx

Check All Databases For File Space Used

Aug 29, 2006

Hi There

As part of monitoring i want to hourly check the data file percentage used for each database, to monitor growth and know in advance when a data file will be full.

However i do not want to write a job for ever single database , this instance may have up to 100 databases that = 100 jobs.

So i want to write a job that checks the percentage space used for all databases.

My first dilema is that i cannot loop through databases dynamically, by that i mean if i use a cursor that loops through database names, and i dynamically build sql the say 'USE @DBNAME' and execute it the cursor context stays local you do not actually change database context.

So how do i loop though databases, i have found

sp_msforeachdb, however this is undocumented in BOL.

Secondly how do i check the percentage of space used for the data file or files for a database, i could use DBCC SHOWFILESTATS, however this is also not documented in BOL.

Obviously i would rather use documented methods.

So bottom line what tsql could i use to check the percentage of file space use for all databases?

Thanx
