Getting Larger Drive Array
Aug 31, 2006We are planning to install more disk space and need to temporarily move the data and log files and move them back after the disk space has been added.
Is Detach/Attach the best way to handle this?

SQL Server Moving To Larger Drive
Nov 27, 2007I have a Windows 2003 server with SQL Server 2005 installed. Theserver is on small drive and we would like to upgrade to much largerharddrives. I've been hearing of problems using Ghost to get an imageand placing the image onto the new drive. I think this is more of aWindows 2003 problem, but this server is for nothing but the SQLServer databases. Does anyone have a clear method of moving thisserver to the larger drives?TIA.

How Would I Send A String Array As A Integer Array?
Jun 25, 2007I have a stored procedure that has a paramter that accepts a string of values. At the user interface, I use a StringBuilder to concatenate the values (2,4,34,35,etc.) I would send these value to the stored procedure. The problem is that the stored procedure doesn't allow it to be query with the parameter because the Fieldname, "Officer_UID" is an integer data type, which can't be query against parameter string type.
What would I need to do to convert it to an Integer array?
@OfficerIDs as varchar(200)
Select Officer_UID From Officers Where Officer_UID in (@OfficerIDs)
Thanks
Can I Used A Shared Drive Rather Than A Mapped Drive With OpenRowSet?
Apr 4, 2008
Hi
I have been trying to use openrowset with a shared drive, and even though the share has "full control" permissions granted to "everyone" and the accout that SQL runs under has been granted explicit full control permissions I am unable to open the file which itself has no security on it.
Can I not use a \ path and only use mapped drives?
Thanks
below works...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
below doesn't work...

How To Move A Log File From 'e' Drive To 'f' Drive....
Nov 9, 2000I am trying to move a log file from one drive to another.
What I have done is add another file to my file group. So now my log has a file on the 'e' drive and one on the 'f' drive. I now want to remove the file on the 'e' drive. I have emptied the file on the 'e' drive. When doing the command:
ALTER DATABASE Uniprodruntime
REMOVE FILE m_rk_runtime_log
I get the following error message..
Server: Msg 5020, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The primary data or log file cannot be removed from a database.
I have also gone into enterprise manager and tried to delete the file and it does nothing.
Has anyone run into this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedRestoring Smaller DB Into Larger DB
Mar 27, 2000I have a situation where I need to migrate data from an older platform to a newer one. The data from the old system(s) will be available on DAT tapes. All database construction on the new system will be identical to the old one in size and schema, except for one table (call it "ARCHIVE").
If the ARCHIVE table on the old system is 210MB, and the ARCHIVE table on the new system has the same attributes but has been expanded to 380MB in size, can I simply restore the dump for the old table into the new ARCHIVE?
Empirically it works (I have done it with apparent success two times) but I seem to recall that backups are done by pages, and I'm concerned that there may be conditions not being met by simply doing the restore the way I'm planning to do it.
Also, are there any tests or checks built into SQL which I can use to check table integrity on the target ARCHIVE table after the restore?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Evaluating 2 Fields And Returning The Larger

When I Delete Data, The Database Gets Larger?
Jan 8, 2008
I have written code to combine, delete redundant data in my system. The table structure remains the same, except I changed some INTs to TINYINTs.
When I do sp_spaceused, it tells me that number of rows is smaller(which is correct), but the datasize, and index_size is significantly larger AFTER the deletions.
I tried using shrink, but that doesn't seem to change anything.
When I right-click the database, and choose PROPERTIES, it also confirms that the database got significantly larger.
I am confused about how deleting data and changing to TINYINTs could make my database bigger. What would cause this?
Backup/recovery Larger Databases...
Apr 10, 2008Greetings all and thanks for reading this post.
Here is my situation... I have 2 fairly large databases. Full backups are 83gb & 63gb. I am in the process of moving these database to a new data center. I've taken full backups of these databases and shipped them to the new center. I have been taking transaction log backups (larger db every 24 hrs smaller db every 15 min ... from log shipping).
I want to restore these databases in the new data center. I've gone ahead and restored the dbs in the new location.
Question final cutover.. can I just apply the transaction logs to the databases on final cut-over or do I have to restore the database backup first then apply the transaction logs?
Is there an other way to do this that I'm missing?
Thanks.

Subscriber Database MUCH Larger Than Publisher
Dec 7, 2006I have replication setup between our main site and a remote one, and have recently noticed that the database at the remote site's .MDF file is about 3 times as large as the main site's. This doesn't seem to make sense since essentially all of our data is replicated between the two servers. Can anyone suggest why this might be happening and what is safe to do to shrink the remote file?
TIA

Problem Accessing SDF File Larger Than 128 MB
Feb 20, 2007Hello.
I created SDF database files for "SQL compact" with a size larger than 128
MB (which is default for creation). Now when I try to open these files with
VS2005 I get the error "The size of the databasfile exceeds the configured
maximum...Required Max Databse size (in MB; 0 if unknown)" (translated from
german). The real problem is that I can not change the connectionstring in
VS, cause all field which show the connectionstring are readonly (greyed
out). I know I have to set the option "Max Database Size = 512" or so in the
connectionstring to get the things runnning, but don't know any way to do
that in VS2005.
My attempt to access the SDF files when copied to the device via active sync
results in the same error message.
This seems for me to be a design flaw, cause I can not add the optional
parameter to the connection string (even not in the details form, where only
"DataSource" and "Password" fields are displayed.
- Does anybody know a solution in VS2005?
- Does anybody have a workaround for me?
- Does anybody know where the connectionstrings of VS2005 are stored, so
that I may "hack" the connection string?
Thanks so far.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAnalysis :: Power BI On Larger Data Sources
Jun 1, 2015We have been trying for a while to use Power BI tools (Power Query, Power BI Designer (Desktop) and Power BI Designer (Cloud) in line with larger data sources ( 2-7m records in fact table). Unfortunately up to now with unsatisfactory results. It seems that these tools are just not designed to handle this kind of data volumes?
To my understanding it seems that the approach with PowerBI components is to always try to create a local (or cloud based) cache that only has a limited capacity. 2m+ records already seem to be exceeding this limit. So as opposed to firing off a query on demand (for example only based on distinct filter options as opposed to entire fact set) only the intermediary cache of the model can be used.
Our initial focus was to use a normalized table in SQL Server with around 4m records. First problem is that Power Query/Power BI Designer fails to provide a complete list of the distinct filter items:
This I can understand in some way as doing a distinct on a large data set like that is not trivial. As a workaround I could imagine to setup a star scheme dimension table with the distinct "dimension members". I.e. that filters are driven by this table which has only a few thousand rows. The filters there are then applied to the fact table. I haven't found a way to do this effectively with Power Query.
Another option that we have tried was using the cloud based Power BI service in conjunction with a SQL Cloud Service with the same data set. That unfortunately didn't work. The setup of the source works fine but as soon as we try to start a query by dragging a value field on the dashboard errors occur:
Pagesize Of Report Is Much Larger Than Expected When Printed
Jun 14, 2006I created a report with RS in VS.NEt and set the width and height to 8.5in by 11in from the property window. When I designed it , everything fit on one page nice and neat.
When printed it prints on two pages and the font size comes out much larger than expected. The whole document seems to have been blown up bigger and the right side of the document has been cut off. Why is this? Do I need to configure vs.net to print????
Am I missing some setting somewhere?
Other documents print out fine on this printer, so it is not the printer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you
this seems small but if I can't get the report to print out right then..........
Transfer Over To More Powerful Backend Due To Need For Larger Size Capacity
Mar 27, 2012I have an existing Access database that I need to transfer over to a more powerful back-end due to the need for larger size capacity. We need to be able to have a backend that can exist up to just about any size due to us scanning in documents by ODBC. With Access I know I was limited to about 4gb size and when split onto my current SQL server I have heard I will be stuck at 10gb? If so can you recommend a better backend, but my question is about the front end. I hear Windows WPF can be linked into SQL server but does this limit the size as well?
View 3 Replies View RelatedProblem Running Package With 'larger' Amount Of Data
Jun 9, 2006Dear,
I created a package getting data from files and database sources, doing some transformations, retrieving dimension id's and then inserting it into a fact table.
Running this package with a limited amount of data (about a couple of 100.000 records) does not result in any errors and everything goes fine.
Now running the same package (still in debug mode) with more data (about 2.000.000 rows) doesn't result in any errors as well, but it just stops running. In fact, it doesn't really stop, but it doesn't continue as well. If I've only been waiting for some minutes or hours, I could think it's still processing, but I waited for about a day and it still is 'processing' the same step.
Any ideas on how to dig further into this in order to find the problem? Or is this a known problem?
Thanks for your ideas,

SQLServer2000 Xp_sendmail Message Larger Than 8000 Chars
Sep 3, 2007Books Online gives a way to send a message larger than the VARCHAR max of 8000 chars, but the @query argument to xp_sendmail is a simple text string and my data is much more complex, and formatted.

I tried the following, which writes out all the data and sends it ok except, after each row, there is about a page of blank spaces. What is wrong with my syntax?

Replication :: Drop One Of Larger Table Indices On Subscriber Database
Jul 31, 2015We have a database we are replicating to about 8 SQL Express subscribers from a SQL 2012 SP2 publisher. The size of the database grew too large for the 10GB license limit for SQL Express and now replication refuses to replicate any of our deletions on the publisher to reduce the size of the database. I've come up with a few options below.
1) Drop one of the larger table indices on the subscriber database to get below the size restriction. Permit the replication to replicate the deleted records and then rebuild the index. (I'm not sure how important an index is to this table. Is it merely performance related?)
2) "Upsize" SQL Express to SQL Standard on the affected boxes. Allow the deletes to replicate. Backup the database, downgrade to SQL Express and restore the database back to SQL a new SQL express instance. This would involve a lot of work on each box. I'd like to avoid it if possible.

Recovery :: Differential Backup Much Larger Than Database / Full Backup
Nov 16, 2015I have a database that is just over 1.5GB and the Full backup that is 13GB not sure how this is since we have compression on for full backups and my other full backups are much smaller than there respective databases...Now my full backup is taken every Sunday night and the differentials are taken every 6 hours after the full backup. Now I have been thrown into this DBA role with little to no experience just what I have picked up and read. So my understanding of backups are limited but what I think I understand is that we take a full backup and the differential only captures what changes in the database so my question is why is my database 1.5GB but my differential is 15.4GB? I have others database that are on the same instance and don't seem to have this problem. I also just noticed that we do not rebuild the index before a full backup like we do on other instances...

At the moment I have one big database that has column titles such as author, book title, rating, isbn, publisher, publish date, copyright date, graphical image review, availability, genre.
I want to break this large table down into say four smaller relational tables. Partly because it is so large and partly to make it easier to bind the data to the web site. I also want to keep the large table.
How can i do this? I use sql server management express. The database is on my hosts database. I also use VWD 2005 express edition.
