Morning forum,
I'm having a problem to which I'm sure the answer is simple...
All I want is a list of databases on my server with their allocated size and the free space within. Something similar to the first table that sp_spaceused gives you but on a server wide scale.
As I say, I'm sure there's a simple solution out there, but alas Google has failed me.
Thanks in advance,
Dan.
I am trying to track unallocated space (because on my database growth is not kicking in) So using below query but not working!!! Is there any way I can track 'database size' and 'unallocated space' on a single database?
create table A(
Rundate DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT(GETDATE())
,DatabaseName varchar(100)
,Database_size varchar (100)
,unallocatedSpace varchar (100)
,reserved varchar(100)
[code].....
exec AdventureWork..sp_spaceused ------not working------
I've gone through the forum and have seen several others with a similar situation. I recently noticed my .mdf file grew to 200GB yet the data in the file is only about 40GB. I run sp_spaceused and get the following: database_size = 176GB, unallocated space = 134GB, reserved = 43GB, data = 17GB, index_size = 19GB, unused = 6GB.
I've tried "dbcc shrinkdatabase (mydb, truncateonly)", tried restarting server, tried running a maintenance plan including a reindex of the database, and I don't know what to do next.
Does anyone know how to free up this space?
HI,
I am short of space on one of our sqlservers and I want to claim unallocated space for one of my databases and give it back to OS.
I guess it is relatively simple task to do but unfortunately I am unable to find such a command. Can somebody help me and provide me that command.

At my current workplace, whenever I check table sizes using the'reserved' column from sysindexes, or sp_spaceused, I get a total forall user tables which exceeds the physical size of the database.Running sp_spaceused with no parameteres, I get a NEGATIVE value forunallocated space in the database, but only see this if I return theresults in GRID format in QA (text format gives less output):DatabaseName DatabaseSize Unallocated Spacexxxxx_xxxxx11502.38 MB-4874.80 MBReserved Data index_size unused16602800 KB7013752 KB2381904 KB7207144 KBIf I re-run sp_spaceused with the @updateusage='TRUE' option, thisoutput gets corrected to:DatabaseName DatabaseSize Unallocated Spacexxxxx_xxxxx11502.38 MB2773.76 MBReserved Data index_size unused8770680 KB6928168 KB1808096 KB34416 KBwhich shows a substantial difference in the Reserved/Data/Index/Unusedsizes.This happens every day - any ideas about:1) Why this might be happening on such a large scale, and2) Is it conceivable that these discrepancies in space allocationinformation could be causing performance problems? I can imagine thatif the database is trying to locate free pages on extents yet itsinternal view of these doesn't match reality then this could impededata insertion.Offers anybody?

Hi all,
When I am rebuilding the indexes on the tables, I am getting lot of free space( unallocated) on the database.
Before rebuilding the indexes , the size of the database = 385 Gb
After rebuilding the indexes, the size jumps to = 572 Gb (i.e.) This means 187 Gb of unallocated space .
The Command use to rebuild indexes is:
USE [databasename]
GO
ALTER INDEX [PK_index] ON [dbo].[tablename] REBUILD WITH
( PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = ON, ONLINE = OFF )
GO
So, every time we rebuild indexes, we have to shrink the database
(or)
Is there anything else ,I should be doing.
Thanks.
Hi All,
When i run sp_spaceused on one of my database, PROD, it gives the following output
database_name: PROD
database_size: 4268.00 MB
unallocated space: -789.82 MB
reserved: 4654920 KB
data: 2929008 KB
index_size: 327272 KB
unused: 1398640 KB
Why is that the unallocated space is negative ?
On the drive where the datafiles resides there is enough free space . Also, the datafile and transaction are set to auto grow with unlimited file growth
FYI - the OS is Windows 2000 and the DB is SQL Server 2000 with SP3
Appreciate your time and help on this.
Hi all,
Report:
-For instance 2 small tables (eg. width 10cm = 3 inch?)
-And one wide table (eg. width 30cm = 10 inch?)
All separated by "insert pagebreak after table".
Problem:
When rendered, the pages with the small tables on have a lot of white blank space at the right of the table. This is probably caused by the big table on page 3.
This report is distributed by email in Excell format. So on sheet 1 and 2 there are a lot of white cells on the right of the tables. When trying to print, they just want to use the "landscape" option and the "fit to page" option. Because of the empty white cells, the fit to page option reduces the first 2 tables to a very small table which covers only 50 % of the page width. The other 50 % is reserved for the empty cells.
Off course, I know that deleting the empty cells offers a solutions, but it would be a lot more handier if there were no empty cells in the first place.
Anybody with a solution?
Ok following scenario
create table dbo.ADAssets
(Computername nvarchar(max))
insert into dbo.ADAssets
values
('AIRLBEOF3565 CNF:4e926e06-6f62-4864-aebd-6311543d',
'AIRLBEOF3565')
So if execute the following
select Computername
from dbo.ADAssets
where Computername like
'AIRLBEOF3565%'
I get both records,but if I do this
select *
from dbo.ADAssets
where Computername in
(
'AIRLBEOF3565 CNF:4e926e06-6f62-4864-aebd-6311543d',
'AIRLBEOF3565'
)
I only get AIRLBEOF3565
So the big picture is that I need to compare 2 tables to find records that match & don't but that I get matches that shouldn't be & matches that aren't.
The below query works perfectly fine, except that it produces many outputs instead of one continuous table that can be easaly converted to xml / csv by copying it from the "Results" window.
What I need is a query that will produce a single result for all the tables in all the databases on the server.
The results:
The query:
DECLARE @begin INT = 1, @end INT, @sql NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @CREATE_TEMPLATE VARCHAR(MAX);
DECLARE @DBNAME VARCHAR(255);
DECLARE @SQL_SCRIPT VARCHAR(MAX);
SELECT @end = COUNT(name) FROM sys.databases
SET @CREATE_TEMPLATE = '

Hi,
I have an ASP.NET application that uses VARCHAR extensively in the tables and, more importantly, stored procedures (a couple hundred of them).
This app needs to start accepting foreign language in some areas, so I was wondering if there was some way to go through the tables and, more importantly, the stored procedures and change all "VARCHAR" references to "NVARCHAR" ?
Are the stored procedures stored as a text file somewhere on the server? If so I could use some sort of "replace" software utility to go through and change all VARCHAR to NVARCHAR
thanks!

Is there a way to disable referential integrity on all destination tables for an import?
Thanks.
I have inherited a number of databases which were substantially over sized when they were set up. I'd like to reduce both the log and database files to be smaller than their original sizes, what's the easiest way to do this? If anyone has any experience of doing this please reply.

Hello,
I'm wondering what would be the best approach to designing a database that will have different products one of them being T-Shirts of different sizes... for example 1 t-shirt design might only have 2 available sizes while another may have 4. I'm kinda stumped on how to approach this cuz there is multiple products like CD's, DVD's, Magazines etc which is pretty straight forward, but the T-shirts have this "variable" to it.
What i'm really wondering is should i have 1 main "Products" Table or should i have a separate table for the t-shirts? Should there be a column for each available size?
Currently my database has a "products table" that has foreign keys to "Product Type", "Artists", "Genre"
The database is basically for a record company
If anyone has designed a database similar to this i'd love any insight or even possibly to see a database diagram
Thanks
Does anyone has a script which gives all databases names and thereallocated, used sizes in SQLserver2k. I want to schedule this to create adaily report.Thanks,Nasir
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to capture the sizes of all Databases into a Permanent Table and include the Date.
It works when inserting into a #Temp Table.
When I try inserting into a permanent table it returns NULL.
The following code needs modified to create a permanent table and store the Date:
CREATE TABLE #databases ( DATABASE_NAME VARCHAR(50), DATABASE_SIZE FLOAT, Date VARCHAR(100) )
INSERT #Databases EXEC ('EXEC sp_databases');
SELECT@@SERVERNAME AS SERVER_NAME, DATABASE_NAME,
DATABASE_SIZE AS 'KB',
ROUND(DATABASE_SIZE / 1024, 2) AS 'MB',
ROUND((DATABASE_SIZE / 1024) / 1024, 2) AS 'GB',
CONVERT(date, getdate()) AS Date FROM #databases

Hi everyone. I hope that my question isn't too broad, but here it goes...
I am trying to figure out the best way to scale a SQL Server database so that it can handle a billion simultaneous users querying the same tables, and can easily scale to handle many billions of simultaneous users. The database must also have 999.99% availability. The number of licences and amount of hardware needed is not an issue.
Thanks in advance.
I need to find a way to identify SPIDS where queries are connected to certain databases using the 4 dot notation instead of actually being connected to the database in question.
For instance, I connect and my default database is MASTER. In MASTER, instead of typing USE MyDb ahead of my query, I just type my query as:
SELECT Col1, Col2
FROM MyDB.dbo.MyTable
The above is the simple scenario. We usually have queries connecting 3 or 4 user dbs together. So database1 might have a query pointing to database2. What I need is a way to identify the SPIDS that are connecting to database2 despite being in database1.
Hi,
Can we set the Uper/Lower case in server wide in SQL server 2000 as like case sensitive.

Dear friends
I need to report the amount of free space in each datafile of a database.
I have tried sys.dm_db_file_space_usage , but the documentation says that it only works for the TempDB.
Please help.

I am trying to import this years worth of failed logins and last successful login for each user out of the logs using master.dbo.xp_readerrorlog. The script essentially loops through the linked servers I have on my DBA box and reaches out for the log data. It works, but here is the error I am getting on most of our production servers:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "AWSCADENCEDB01" returned message "The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions.".
Msg 7391, Level 16, State 2, Line 17
The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "AWSCADENCEDB01" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
I know how to enable distributed transactions on the servers that error out, but if it is not needed for anything other then my audit script, I doubt the business will approve me turning on distributed transactions at those locations (so I am not even going to ask).
I am attempting to setup a singular audit .rdl with the information I want to review quarterly.

How can I get the table sizes for data and transaction logs just like we had in SQL Server 7.0 on the first screen of the Entreprise Manager?
I remember having a bar showing used space in blue and unused in magenta. I bet there are a couple of functions that can be added in a script that will retreive this info.

I have one .mdf and two .ndf files on the same drive. The .mdf file size =275GB, one .ndf file size = 300GB and other .ndf file size = 135GB. Is this normal to have 3 different file size? if not what can I do to fix this? I don't have option to make all files to initial size equal to 300GB as a .ndf.If I have to add a .ndf file (in case of running out the above drive), what initial file size should I set up for new file on new drive? And how data gets distributed across all 4 files (including new .ndf on different drive)?

We are adding a second web server to our farm. Reporting Services is installed on one web server as Rpt01 instance and works just fine. We have installed the second web server also with an instance named Rpt01 and are now trying to configure to re-use the same database as the first server. When we restart services we get the error listed below.
I was wondering if there was an issue with the same named instances on two different web servers accessing the same ReportServer01 database? This is the error that we are getting. Any help would be appreciated. The curious thing is that our databases are named ReportServer01 and ReportServer01TempDB and not the name listed below.

I'm using SQL Server 2000 and need to restore a large database onto a different node. The problem is the original database has a 74 gb first datafile and the node where I need to restore it doesn't have a single drive that big. I'm trying to use a backup of the original database and restore it into an existing database on another node and am using the move options to put the files in the right places.
Is there a way I run the restore to split the 74 gb datafile across drives on my target node?
Thanks for any help.
I have two SQL 2014 Enterprise Edition installed with the SSRS (native) role installed.
Both server are configured separately with their own Report Server database. Now I want to configured a scale out deployment with a shared database.
On Server 1, I created a new Report Server database. On the second server, I change the database and joined the existing database. The problem is that the second server never shows up under Scale-Out deployment (Waiting to Join).
Ive successfully cloned an SSRS VM Server within a scale out deployment to REPLACE a current physical machine. This wasn't too difficult.
The issue im having now is in creating a new SQL 2014 Environment with 3 SSRS nodes. Ive taken the time to build one up. Changed all my config files, installed all components etc & tweaks needed within my company...
I have now hit a brick wall though. Ive cloned this first server twice to give me 3 nodes. This is a new environment so the issue I have is that the rsreportserver.config files all now have the same InstallationID. I dont have any existing nodes to overwrite these files with. So when I attach the nodes to the database they will update the keys table with the same InstallationID as the first node and none will work.
Any way to force the SSRS setup to re-generate an installation ID - by repair maybe? Or is this something I can manually just make up?
