I want to duplicate the environment of another existing server where tempdb
resides on it's own device (200mb in size). I can create the devices (data & log). What do
I have to do to physically move tempdb to the new devices I create? I've seen such
articles on Swynk.com, but today the links are not working. Thanks very much!

I have a database in development in SQL Server 6.5 that needs to be occasionally deleted and rebuilt from a script when table structures are changed. I found that when very complex queries were performed, the 2 MB default size of tempdb filled up and returned errors, so I went to the Enterprise Manager to expand tempdb, learned that I had to first expand a device to expand tempdb into, and foolishly chose to expand tempdb into the same device space used by my application, instead of into one of the system databases. Now when I try to delete the device in preparation for its rebuild, the Enterprise Manager responds with an error message saying the device can't be deleted because it contains system tables. Is there any way to get the expanded portion of tempdb out of my application device so that the device can be deleted, without reinstalling SQL Server?
I would like to free up some space on a SQL 6.5 server. My tempdb is on a second device (other than master) that is 500M. I don't need tempdb to be this large anymore. What would happen if I shut down SQL, renamed this device so that SQL Server wouldn't use it, and restarted SQL Server. Could I then create a new, much smaller device for tempdb? Would this work?
We are supporting an mssql 6.5, sp 4 application. My associate recently increased tempdb from 3 gb to 15 gb by adding a 12gb device on a second drive.
The original tempdb device was 3 gb on an h drive and the 12gb addition was added to the f drive limiting the disk space for the data dat file to be expanded. So now I would like to move that second tempdb device to a different drive to free up disk space on the f drive.
1) Can I move the second tempdb device?
2) Or should I try to shrink it and then expand it on a differetn drive?
3) Any other suggestions?
Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
I have tempdb data device size default 2 MB, which has completely filled up. I am trying to expand data device to it. I created new device tempdb_data_ext (250 MB) and tried to expand tempdb data device. But everytime I do it, it ends up adding space to tempdb log device. How can I expand tempdb data device?
I need to remove log segment of one database from current position to another drive. The current log segment is used by two databases. This was created by mistake. Now we need to fix the problem and create another log segment for the other database. If we keep the log setment as is, we will have problems deleting one of the databases in the future.
I am using 6.5 . Here is the error that i get Think that tempdb is small how do i change that or what is this error about'

I only have data and log device how do i increase the tempdb device
Does anyone know how to move tempdb (mdf and ldf files) to another physical disk of already instaled SQL Server 2000? (The idea is to move the tempdb to another dedicated disk in order to improve the performance.)
I have to move my sql server to new SAN. Tempdb is on old san. If I move the tempdb to c: like below and reboot then move the server, and then after move to new server, start it up, and move again, would that be correct process
i was going to use below to move tempdb to c from SAN
use master go Alter database tempdb modify file (name = tempdev, filename = 'c: empdbloc empdb.mdf') go Alter database tempdb modify file (name = templog, filename = 'c: empdbloc emplog.ldf') Go
I have a system configured with Windows 2000 and SQL Server 2000Clustering (active/passive). Both SQL Servers have a local E: drivewith the same directory structure. I would like to move the tempdboff of the shared SAN and on to the E: drive. I don't foresee anyissues with this but wanted to know if anyone else has encounteredproblems with this.
I attempted to move tempdb using detach/reattach with SQL Server 2005 started with the -T3608 flag. I am now in a situation where tempdb is not listed in sysdatabases, but it is in sysaltfiles. If I try to detach it, it says the db doesn't exist. If I try to reattach it, it says it already exists. Since I can't alter the sys tables, is there anyway to get SQL to create a new tempdb, or to reattach the old? Thanks.
Basically I've been using Visual Studio 2005 for a few weeks now moving a Pocket PC project from 2003 to 2005. When I hit the Start Debugging Button every time until today the project would rebuild and deploy to my pocket PC allowing me to debug etc but now I get
The remote connection to the device has been lost.
Please verify the device conection and restart debugging.
I used to get this problem in VS2003 sometimes and just like the numerous posts on different sites that I've looked at the problem eventually goes away and I'm none the wiser. One guy said that he found that if he went to bed the problem was resolved when he came back!
My PDA running Windows 2003 2nd Edition is directly connected to my PC via a USB port. I've rebooted my PC and done a soft reset on the PDA but it didn't help. I'm using ActiveSync 4.1.

I m Getting Error like :

This error is Generated only when i m trying to access folders within "wwwroot" but not in any other folders , even command runs success fully for "wwwroot" folder . !!
"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! - Mike
On my test database I have log device size grown to 4 GB from 2 GB. Is there anyway to reduce it? I have truncate log on checkpoint option on. I tried dbcc shrinkdatafile. Didn't help.. Any suggestions???

Hi all, hope someone can give me some guidence on this.
We have a database on SQL 6.5 sp5a that is 25GB in size. The transaction log is 10GB in size. We do transaction log dumps every hour throughout the day. On a very heavy day the transaction log backup device will be just over 2GB in size. Around 8GB wasted because no-one knew how much space would be used.
Is there an easy way to resize the transaction log so we can reclaim some space. I was thinking of creating a new smaller database device, then using sp_logdevice to use the smaller device as the log and get rid of the 10GB device.
We have a 6.5 database that is comprised of 4 device files. As the database grows over time a new device is created for the space expansion. The last one was created on the wrong partition and the database was expanded onto it. I now need to move the device to the correct partition/directory. My question is; what is the easiest way to accomplish this move? Is it possible to move the device file and manually modify sysdevices? If so, what order of events should be followed?
I want to expand a log device and am having a problem. When in Edit Database Device, the `Change Now` button is disabled and the size of the device is shown as a negative number.
On occasion, I notice that some of my backup devices have become "offline" and the scheduled tasks associated with them will no longer run.
I get this error: Can`t open dump device `d:MSSQLBACKUPdvbk_AFISlog.DAT`, device error or device off line. Please consult the SQL Server error log for more details. (Message 3201)
Does anyone know how to get them back online without having to create a new device? Thanks in advance...
Hi, I am trying to take a dump on to a disk with one of device A..its a transaction log dump every 15 minuter with no init and from the same device which is connected to my standy server i am doing the load, the time diffrence is 15 minutes between standy and production in terms of dump and load i am getting this error very frequently the device is offline the message is "Can't open dump device 'j:ABC.DAT', device error or device off line. Please consult the SQL Server error log for more details. (Message 3201)"
Now can this error come when the dump and load is happing at the same time tru the same device...???????
I want to store bakup file on the computer on netword, so make a backup device on the other computer, it ok. after that i make an full backup, there is an error : "Can not open the bakup device " . please show me, best regard.
Hi,I am slightly confused about the meaning of a 'device cal'(specifically for sql server but I guess the same applies to other mslicences)In the examples about device cals, there is a picture of a number ofwindows desktops connected to a database server. each desktop canpotentially be used by a number of users and requires one device cal.All well and good.Now, say I have a web application hosted hosted on a different machineand connecting to SQL server. the SQL server licencing FAQ says"A device CAL covers multiple users' access to server software from asingle, shared device."is my web server a shared device? so does the web server require asingle device CAL no matter how many users use it?Andy
