TempDB Won't Shrink
Jan 18, 2008I was able to find a few posts on this topic, but none of them quiteseemed to fit the situation, so I'm hoping that someone else might beable to help me here.I have a client who is using SQL 2005 (sorry, don't have the exactbuild with me). They run a weekly process which causes TempDB to growto over 100GB before it fails due to a full disk. Once it's grown tothat size we can't seem to shrink it again short of restarting theserver.The database is set to Simple recovery mode and I believe that it isset to auto shrink.Here are some things that found out/tried:DBCC SHRINKFILE (tempdev, 50000) does nothing.DBCC OPENTRAN returns no transactions.If I look in TempDB for any temporary tables, I get a couple dozen.They all have zero rows in them though. I didn't think to look at thecolumns that they contain, but maybe that will give me an indicationof their use. I used SELECT OBJECT_NAME(id), rowcnt FROMtempdb..sysindexes WHERE OBJECT_NAME(id) LIKE '#%'sp_spaceused shows that almost none of the space is actually beingused.I've looked for reindexing operations in their code and didn't seeany, but there's quite a bit of code there. While there are someoperations against some very large tables, I didn't see any obviouscartesian products or sorts either. Again though, there's a lot ofcode and I haven't profiled much of it.My plan right now is to reboot, set up a trace to track both filegrowths and SQL statements and then see if I can find whichstatement(s) are causing the TempDB to grow to be so large. Anysuggestions on additional things to track? Even given this though, Idon't know if that will help me with the shrinking issue, except topossibly prevent it from being necessary in the future.Any advice or suggestions welcome. Please let me know if I've left outany important information. I always seem to forget at least oneobviously important bit of information. :-)Thanks!-Tom.

We're running our database on SQL Server 7 and we've setup the tempdb to grow automatically.Gradually,it has grown upto 11390 MB and the used space is only 14 MB.It's not shrinking when we used the shrinkdb option.We cannot move the tempdb to RAM as it's very big.Can anyone help us in this...
Shrink Tempdb Question
Jul 1, 1999How do you shrink the tempdb in SQL Server 7 after you allocated a large space to it but later realized you allocated too much.... I need to reclaim the space allocated to it but when I try to change the size or do a shrinkdb it either tells me I cannot shrink it smaller than allocated size or it shrinks tempdb to current (which is too large)... I looked online but could not find anything...
Any suggestions or assistance would be much appreciated... up to my eyes in tempdb..... Bill.

How Do I Shrink/recreate/truncate Tempdb
Apr 17, 2002A customer on SQL7 has a 40GB tempdb (which is usually 2-5GB) which has filled the drive. ShrinkDb/ShrinkFile do nothing as the db has only 2GB of free space. How can I truncate the data or blitz tempdb and create a new (2-5GB) one (Stopping the server, deleteing the .mdf, starting the server creates a new tempdb with the same size as the old one!)

How To Shrink A Tranlog Which Won't Shrink
Jan 5, 2007If you have problems shrinking a transaction log no matter what commands you issue, here's a way to shrink the tranlog:
1. Right click on the properties of the database and go to the options tab.
2. Change the recovery mode to simple.
3. Right click again on the database - go to all tasks - shrink database.
4. Shrink the database.
5. Change the recovery mode back to what you had it as.
I found this out by trial and error as I could not find any documentation on it and no matter what I tried, I could not get the transaction log to shrink.
Tempdb Is Skipped. You Cannot Run A Query That Requires Tempdb
Jul 14, 2004Has anyone seen the SQL Server error:
"tempdb is skipped. You cannot run a query that requires tempdb"?
We're running a .Net web application with a SQL Server 2000 backend, and we get the error intermittently. Restarting the SQL Server service seems to fix it, as it causes tempdb to be rebuilt, but this isn't a long term solution. Any direction or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Designing Databse
Sep 21, 2007Im creating a sample database for purposes of keeping track of employee's jobs + billing codes for that job. currently they just use an excel spreadsheet to keep track of billing.
Question 1:
What would be the easiest way for the manager to enter billing codes? Billing codes are numbers like 956, 958, 805 and they co-relate to prices for each billing code.
1. I want the manager to enter the billing code and have the sql database find out how much that code is and add them up daily. This would prevent the manager from having to input prices and billing codes, and extra step.
Any links on the above topic would be helpful. I'm not looking for anyone to spoon feed me code just point me in the right direction. Im relatively new to sql having only a class of sql @ ITT.
Heres the way I have the db tables laid out currently.
employee table
employee_id
technumber
fname
lname
address
workphone
homephone
trucknumber
officelocation
employeejobs table
employee_id
jobs_id
jobs table
jobs_id

employee_id

Any info would be much appreciated, Im going to go find a sql book now ;).

Unable To Access SQL Databse
Mar 2, 2007Hi,
I have a SQL Server 2005 Express database dbase.mdf which I cannot access. It works fine in VWD and the development server using the following connection string: String connectionString = "Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\dbase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"But when the site is not on the development server but on IIS, I get a SqlException saying "User does not have permission to perform this action." when I execute the connection.Open() command. I find it extremely frustrating that something which works in the development server fails on the real server. Can anyone help me with this? Do I have to change my connection string, or perhaps set some permissions...I have already given the IUSR_MACHINENAME account and the ASPNET account full access to dbase.mdf. Surely this must be an issue that lots of people deal with... How do other people manage to log to access databases? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,P1000
