We can know easily a database disk size, but can we konw a table in SQL 2005 database possess size? and more, how can I know the records in SQL 2005 Table possess size space?
View 8 RepliesHi,
I was running out of space and thus deleted some rows from a table. To my surprise the db size increased. I then shrunk it to bring it back to what it was earlier.
When i deleted some 5000 rows, some space must have been released. Where did the space go and why did the db size increase after deleting the records?
I thght it might be log files..but db is set to Simple Recovery which does not utilize a Log File.
Any reasons?
I'm trying to determine how much space some tables use (SQL2000), and I found 2 suggestions posted earlier, but can't get them to work for me.
The first was
"Right click on the DB in Enterprise Manager, select view then taskpad."
When I try that, I get some of the tables displayed with the info I want, but I can't see them all and can't scroll down beyond the first 22 tables in the database.
The second suggestion:
exec sp_msforeachtable @command1="print '?'",@command2="sp_spaceused '?'"
It says "command copleted successfully, but where does the output to this go ?? Is there something other than "print" I should use ?
The grid pane is empty.
I am using sql server 2008 r2 on my end. I have created a database named testDB. I have a lot of tables with some log tables in this. some tables have contain lack of records in log table.
So my purpose is that I want to fix the table size of those tables(log tables) and want to move records in other database table placed on another location. So my database has no problem.
is there any way to make such above steps which I want for my database?
Is there already built any such functionality in sql server?
I execute the following SQL, and return 3 records, I want to know how many disk space the 3 records use, how can I do? thanks! select * from myTable where username='Paul'
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have many large tables with millions of records in a SQL Server database. They all use an Identity column which is the clustered index. We haven't been deleting any records until recently because disk space is now becoming a problem.
Assuming I delete a lot of old records, I'm thinking that the freed up space in the data pages won't be reused. New records will be added at the end of the table because of the Identity column being the clustered index. So the table will keep getting bigger even though there is lots of free space.
Assuming I'm right, then how do I recapture this unused space? Is an alter table rebuild the best way? Or rebuilding the clustered index?
No transaction log involved, only the table itself.
Use sp_spaceused "table_name" to check the space used.
It seems the table size actually increased from the beginning to the middle of deletion, at the end of deletion, its size decreased.
Recovery mode set to be simple, autoshrink turned on.
The tables tested are about 50MB ~ several GB in size, all have the same behavior. The size increased about 5%~10%.
Since the deletion is called from another software, I want to know if it is possible for SQL Server to have this behavior or it is absolutely the 3rd party software's issue
Thanks!
I am trying to resize a database initial log file from 500M to 2M. I€™m using€?
ALTER DATABASE <DBNAME> MODIFY FILE ( NAME = <DBLOGFILENAME, SIZE = 2 ) "
And I'm getting "MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size." I tried going into the database properties and setting the log file to 2M, but it doesn€™t keep the changes.
Any help with this process?
How can I query (using TSQL) the data space used by a table in SQL Server 2005?
This is possible using SQL Serve Management studio. I can right click on table name and check the proeprties. But I want to write a TSQL script to check disk space used by all the individual tables in the database. How can I do that?
We are planning hardware purchases (more is better). One of our databases is 131 gigs in size and has 45 gigs of 'space available'. I'm not a very experienced SQL Server person, but this seems like quite a bit of 'space available'
1) Is there a way to regulate the amount of 'space available'?
2) are there any rules of thumb for how 'space available' there should be?
Appreciate any feedback or help.

Hi,
I have encountered a query which takes lots of temp tablespace and it fails later.
Initially the temp tablespace was 28GB, we made it to 56 GB but still it fails.
There is just this single process that is running on database.
I tried putting index on the table in query ,but no help.
Can suggest a solution to get size of temp space required or reduce its usage?
Hi
I am using DTS to transfer tables from Oracle 9i to SQL Server 2000 sitting in a shared environment and managed to migrate
a lot of tables without glitch..
When I was migration a table <XYZ> from Oracle to SQL Server..The table was created in the SQL Server whilst the DTS threw an error that read when it was copying data and 0 rows were copied with the error message being
"Cannot create a row of size 8387 which is greater than the allowed maximum of 8060"
Incidentally the have a table in the Oracle DB that has 152 Rows of Data with 94 Columns..
Does any change needs do be done on the Admin side of the SQL Server to resolve this problem and faciliate effective transfer of data from the DB's?
Thanks in Advance

I'm using an ObjectDataSource in Visual Studio to retrieve records from a SQL Server 2005 database.
I have a very simple dilemma. In a table I have fields FirstName, Surname, Address1, Address2, Address3 etc. None of these are mandatory fields.
It is quite common for the user not to enter data in Address2, Address3, so the values are <null> in the SQL table.
In Visual Studio 2005 I have an aspx form where users can pass search parameters to the ObjectDataSource and the results are returned according to the passed in parameters.
The WHERE clause in my Table Adapter is:WHERE (Address1 LIKE @Address1 + '%') AND (Address2 LIKE @Address2 + '%') AND (Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%') AND (FirstName LIKE @FirstName + '%') AND (Surname LIKE @Surname + '%')
If, for example, I simply want to search WHERE FirstName LIKE ‘R’, this does not return any results if the value of Address3 is <null>
My query is this: Could someone please show me the best way in Visual Studio 2005 to return records even if one of the Address fields is <null>.
For reference, I have tried: Address3 LIKE @Address3 + '%' OR IS NULLThis does work, however itsimply returns every instance where Address3 is <null> (accounting for about 95% of the records in the database). Thanks in advance Simon
While i execute dbcc sqlperf(logspace); I get following values.

For database BANKDB , Log Space used(%) is 48.83% and Log size is about 23438.87 where as my database size of BANKDB is 60 GB. FULL database and Log back is done every day night one time. My database is performing slow now.
Do we need to take log backup frequently like once a 1 hour so that Log space used will be less. Same query is taking more time to execute than before in same database is it because of log file has increased.
I do index organize and rebuild once a week and stats apply nightly.
Is it correct once log space size is increasing more than 10%. Do we need to take log backup?
I executed the below query and getting the capacity values only for master database.All other DB shows NULL values for spaceused. I'm actually looking for a query to get all the capacity information other than using temp table and the procedures. Is there any way using SQL query ONLY.

I have 10 Gb index and disk space only left 5gb .
How can i rebuild index ?
I installed sql 2005 a while back. Then I recently found out my file system was fat32 (I don't understand why the hardware people did this...) and I had to convert to NTFS. Naturally the sql service no longer worked so I uninstalled inorder to reinstall now I can't reinstall it I keep getting this message
native_error=5039, msg=[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size.
I'll try to post the full log in a new post.
We occasionally use TruncateTable to delete the contents of a number of tables on our SQL Server 7 database. We then build them anew from an outside source. I am finding that the size of the database (and corresponding backup file) has grown significantly. As I understand it, the space representing the deleted records is retained by the database. I have investigated using various DBCC commands, to no avail. Does anyone have a clue as to how I can recover this lost space? ... Thanking you in advance.

Hi,
In my data archiving process , I would end up deleting hunders records from the production databases but would that help me save some DISK space immediately??? Should I run some DBCC command to get some disk space ?
if SO ..!! What should I do after deleting the records..????

I have a table on an offline database having let say 2000 rows and same table on an online database with let say 3000 rows. Now I want to copy just those records (1000) from online database that are not in the offline database table. Also, both tables have same name, same schema etc.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi!I am able to add records to my SQL 2005 database using bound forms in myAccess application, but if I try to edit any records (not only the newrecords I create) using the same bound forms, I receive a write conflict.For the record, I am currently the only user of this application and my SQLServer database has only one userID.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOk, I'm really new at this, but I am looking for a way to automatically insert new records into tables. I have one primary table with a primary key id that is automatically generated on insert and 3 other tables that have foreign keys pointing to the primary key. Is there a way to automatically create new records in the foreign tables that will have the new id? Would this be a job for a trigger, stored procedure? I admit I haven't studied up on those yet--I am learning things as I need them. Thanks.

Regards,
Table1 contains fields Groupid, UserName,Category, Dimension
Table2 contains fields Group, Name,Category, Dimension (Group and Name are not in Table1)
So basically I need to read the records in Table1 using Groupid and each time there is a Groupid then select records from Table2 where Table2.Category in (Select Catergory from Table1)
and Table2.Dimension in (Select Dimension from Table1)
In Table1 There might be 10 Groupid records all of which are different.
I am trying to write a query that will retrieve all students of a particular class and also any rows in HomeworkLogLine if they exist (but return null if there is no row). I thought this should be a relatively simple LEFT join but I've tried every possible combination of joins but it's not working.
SELECT
Student.StudentSurname + ', ' + Student.StudentForename AS Fullname,
HomeworkLogLine.HomeworkLogLineTimestamp,
HomeworkLog.HomeworkLogDescription,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY HomeworkLogLine.HomeworkLogLineStudentID ORDER BY

It's only returning two rows (the students where they have a row in the HomeworkLogLine table).Â
Is it possible to determine the data size of records in a table. basically I would like to run a select query with a condition and the result will be xKB. I know that this is possible on a database level, but can it be done on a record level (or number of records).

Hello, I am pretty new with SQL Server 2005.
I have installed SQL Server Express Edition. I have migrated a set of tables from Oracl10g (by using Microsoft's Migration Tool Kit).While I am trying the following simple update command, the session hangs and it never finishes !!!!!!!!!!!!
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
select pos_key from pos_station where staff_key = 1105
POS_KEY
=======
NULL
update pos_station set pos_key = 1 where staff_key = 1105
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The table has a few constraints and a couple of indices in place.
Then I create another table (but no contraints or indices), just copy the data from the problematic one and the update WORKS (in msecs) :
update pos_station_new set pos_key = 1 where staff_key = 1105
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Is there any way to tell if the table (any table in SQL Server) is corrupted or not ?
How can I tell if a session is waiting for something and what is that something ?
Thank you very much for your help.

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?
