Is it possible to select the available space of the database in a microsoft sql MSDE edition?
With sysfiles i can see the size of the database but where can i find the available space or the used space of the database.
HI all, I am using xp_sendmail to select from a temporary table some data that wants to get out to the real world from the database.
The select is easy, as it just involves a simple select of a varchar(1200) from a temporary table.
What I'm seeing though (WITHOUT the assistance of Mr. Cuervo in this instance ;) ) is that in the email message, even if my varchar only has 20 characters in it, that the select in the email is padded with blanks out to what appears to be the full 1200 byte maximum in the varchar (for each row inserted into the email).
I have used "RTRIM(myvarchar)" both during writing to the temp table, and in the xp_sendmail select variable, and STILL get the blanks on the end.
Anybody know any easy way to drop my extra padding on my varchar when it's added to the email (embedded in the actual email).
Tanks!
I have a table with 3 fields. when I type
select * from test -- I am getting the results as below.
NAME AGE DEPT
AAA 23 AOD
BBB 27 NULL
CCC NULL NULL
DDD 23 POD
DEPT,AGE are displayed with "NULL" WHEN THERE IS NO value for that field . How can I eliminate this. I need space instead of NULL. When I export to text file there also contains NULL. Let me know how can I eliminate this.
Thanks in advance
Hi all
Iam working in Prodcution ENV,Please help how make space
The log file for database 'Home_alone' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space.
Hi, I work on SQL Server 6.5,
and I want to make a documentation about available space of my databases.
So, I must know how many databases space used everyday ?
If somebody know how to get this available space or how to make this script.
I hope you want to tell me about this.
Thanks you so much for your cooperation.
hiiii would appreaciate if somebody can help me to figure how can I monitor my database space used, available bu using Transact SQL through SQL Analyzer...
Thanks
When I go to the GUI in Enterprise Manager to check the space used by my database it says 11,790.05. It also says that my database is 13GB.
My database`s size should be 10GB and my log space is 3 GB.
Is this a case where my database is full and is using space in my log?
Is there another way to detemine how much space my data is actually occupying?
Thanks,
Bob
Hi !
When i try to check the space used in one of the databases in my server
I don't get the correct statistics on the bar graph. The statistics show that the database size & the space used are same.It is not the same for all the databases.
The database size is 17500MB.I did increase the database size to 18000MB
but the situation has not improved.
I tried running the sp_space used and i get the following output:
database_name database_size unallocated space
------------------------------ ------------------ ------------------
VSI 18000.00 MB -3553.26 MB
reserved data index_size unused
------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------
22070542 KB 19325744 KB 2689192 KB 55606 KB
Why does the 'unallocated space show in -ve ?
Also, the database size as u can see is 18000MB but the reserved space shows 22070542MB.
Now i have a new problem, the Log also seems to have run out of space.
when i run the dbcc sqlperf(logspace) i see that the space used is 100%.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Is anyone knows how to get the space used for both the data and the log
of a database using the system tables ? I was able to get the database size
but don't know how to compute for the space used.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
My sql database is showing space available for one of the database is 0.
I have got SQL Server 2005 Ent. Edition(32bit). File growth for .mdf file is set to Autogrowth 10% growth Unrestricted.
I have got lots of physical space on hard drive, why then it is showing 0.00 space available for database. What do i need to do to free up space.
When i ran sp_spaceused it gave me following results
database_name database_size unallocated space
XXXX 1817.31 MB 0.00 MB
reserved data index_size unused
1860760 KB 1763496 KB 13240 KB 84024 KB
I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me what is going on over here and would this slow down the data access?
Regards

What is the best suggestion to do if a database is using more than 95% of its space. Should I leave it as is and it will grew when it needs? Or do an action. What action?
Is your solution the same for log file as well?
Thanks,

Folks:
One of my user database has grown to almost 50 GB and most of the space is used by these 2 user tables. The number of rows has in each table is around 5500, but the reservered is very high. What can be done to reduce the space so that my database growth can be brought down.
WorkAssignment - Records: 5492, Reserved (KB): 46586448, Data(KB): 46581264, Indexes(KB): 152, Unused(KB): 5032

Hi
Please help me in resolving the proble.
Database properties showing space available for database is 0.00mb
physical available space on HDD is around 32 GB... Db size is 5gb...but im bit worried about the size what is being displayed....
Settings in my database
General
1) Size of db: 14306.45MB
2) Space available: 0.00MB
Data Files
1) Automatically grow file
2) File growth By Percent: 10
3) Maximum file size: Unlimited file growth
Transaction log
1) Automatically grow file
2) File growth By Percent: 10
3) Maximum file size: Unlimited file growth
Options
1) AutoShrink
I'm worried about this "space available: 0.00MB". What kind of impact will it create?
If I set all settings to unlimited file growth, does it mean my database can grow as big as my physical harddisk space allows? Does this also means I do not have to worry about database allocation?
Please help me

Hi there,
When SQL Runs out of space, I find that once you clear some more space on the drive, a reboot is necessary otherwise web applications will time out once there is a substantial amount of load on the server. Has anyone else find this to be the case and if so Im just curious why this is so?
Very new to the world of databases. Our current database situation is a train wreck, but I'm not at the point I can fix it. So, all I'm trying to do right now is copy our 'live' database so that we can use the copy for development, without worrying about blowing things up.
Anyhow, the problem I have is that when I backup, and then try to restore the 'live' database, I'm told the drive doesn't have enough space, which is accurate (only has 1gig, needs 3gigs). FYI, EVERYTHING that has to do with our databases is currently on a 14gb partition, of which 13gigs are being used. There is an empty partition of 120gb just sitting there.
Can somebody tell me what is the best way to get this 3gb development database up? I tried to route the Data and Transaction Log paths to the empty partition, but it still seemed to want to mess with the 14gb partition and told me there isn't enough space when I tried to restore.
I want to use RAID 1 for System database with sQL Server 2005 64 bit.
Not including TEMPDB.
Is there any point(s) or fact that i should be aware of before I decide on space requirements for system databases(not including TEMPDB). and what should be recommended space keeping in mind the future growth for system databases.
or any factor(s) that can trigger size increase in them.....!
Many Thanks,
Hi,
I am trying to do this:

Any help appreciated.

I am generating a Report from Sql Data Source in Sql Server 2005 and viewing the Report in Report viewer control of Visual Studio 2005.
The data in the Data Source contains string with multiple spaces (for example €œ Test String €œ) but when they get rendered in Report viewer control, multiple spaces gets converted to single space €? Test String €œ.
I tried following solutions
1) Replacing spaces with €œ €?
2) Inserting <pre> tag before the string and </pre> tag after the string (Also tried <Pre> instead of <pre>)
But in all the cases result is same. The Report Viewer control is showing €œ €? instead of space and €œ<Pre>€? tag instead of preserving spaces.
Please provide me a solution so that spaces can be preserved in Report Viewer.

I have an SQL 2000 database with several tables that are populated using various forms. One or more of the forms is causing the several fields to fill in with data input plus empty spaces to the right for the full character length assigned. Is there a routine or database feature in Visual Studio that can trim off all trailing spaces in all fields in a database table? Is there a compacting routine that might be called?
Thank you
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?
The transaction log takes up a lot of space on my database, and even after I try truncating the log, doing a transaction log backup, and then shrinking it, I am not allowed to reduce the size of the transaction log to less than 250MB. Is there some reason why this space is required?

Does anyone have a suggestion?
Hi,
I have to rebuild a clustered index.I want to know how to find out the free space in a database ?
I know that DBCC SQLPERF ( LOGSPACE )
will give free space in a log space.

Hi All,
One of the drives that stores the database file is close to running out of space. The chance of me getting more space added to this drive any time soon are really low. What are other options I have?

I am using bcp to import data into a table usign format file. when I put 0 in the table column(as it is shown here) it means that I am not bcp in the field values into the table. what I get in return is (NULL) for all those columns that has 0 in the format file.....
My Questions is Am I saving space in the table when I use this process, or (NULL) will take space like an actual value ?
I hope I explained my question clearly... Thanks for your input

I inherited a SQL server (2005) that sits on a Windows 2003 box (upgrading to 2008 R2 and Win2008, ASAP) and on our SQL Data Drive (260GB - 22GB free) we have 16 databases (that are associated with our primary application). One database in particular is causing me quite a bit of pain - on Tuesdays. This table will consume all available free space (save 700kb) and place it within it's 'reserved' space. It's not being used and I can reclaim it by shrinking. I have done this for 3 consecutive weeks now and I have always thought that shrinking is not really a best practice.
Based on a job I scheduled to spit out various database stats I discovered the following:
Somewhere after 11pm on Monday (and on or before 11:30pm) the reserved space goes from 9GB down to 23 then 37MB on this particular database.
After 1:30am on Tuesday (and on or before 2:00am) the database consumes nearly all available disk space and thus expands its reserved space to 28GB
I believe it has something to do with the Indexes being rebuilt - per the Maintenance Plan the Index Rebuild is supposed to occur every Monday @ 11pm. On 6/18 it ran from 11pm - 11:44pm with no problems. Starting on 6/26 (and subsequently 7/2 and 7/9) they have started at 11 and ended anywhere between 2 - to 3 hours later. And with the following error:
Failed-1073548784) Executing the query "ALTER INDEX [PK_activityLog] ON [dbo].[activityLog] REBUILD WITH ( PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, ONLINE = OFF ) " failed with the following error: "Could not allocate a new page for database 'FA_PROD_SDDS' because of insufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY'.
Create the necessary space by dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup. The statement has been terminated.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
The database 'FA_PROD_SDSS' is the one that I am having issues with.
How to find available database space?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have received below alert:

Hi.. I was doing a good maintenance on my DB and my trans log LDF keep growing until 30GB but my DB data file MDF is only 2GB. I found the two following method to reduce my log size.
Method 1: I used veritas to backup log file with truncate
Method 2: I used the shrink database option in Enterprises manager to shrink it (file chosen=log , use default option)
After doing that, I found my LDF log file is still about the same size=27GB but when I see clearly, from the shrink database windows, the log spaced used reduced to only 100MB, the allocation log space is still 27GB. Why? How to make the LDF smaller to be the around the same size as the space used 100MB?
