Extra Blank Lines When Using Multiple List For Groups.
Oct 9, 2007I am working on conversion of Crystal reports to SSRS. The existing report has two level of grouping. So I have included 2 list inside a third list and then done the grouping. Is there another way to do multiple grouping ? Every thing is working fine except for getting one extra blank page at the end of report with only header and footer. I have properly checked the body height and width and page margins. It has something to do with list but i cant figure out what.

SAN's And File Groups
Jan 8, 2001If you have a SAN, is there any real benefit to breaking out large tables into file groups?
View 1 Replies View RelatedFile Groups
Nov 3, 2007I am looking to find out when to use file groups when backing up. When should you use this, what's the benefit over just doing a full db backup? Is it better when you are dealing with large db's?
Also this question has been on my mind for a while. Why shouldn't you shrink the db after every full backup? What is the negative in doing so?
Thanks

File Groups
Jun 26, 2006Hi everyone,
While creating our database in only one disc(C or D), suppose that we create more than one file group in order to group our data files. However, in this situation; I wonder that whether it brings any benefit or advantage to us.
Also, I wonder that why we always have to put our data file into separate file group if we use separate discs for data files. Is not it allowed to use only one file group even if we use separate dics ?
Would you explain these to me ?
Thanks
Reduce File Groups
Aug 17, 2000I had a database that’s comprised of different file groups and log files spread out among different hard drives. I have recently upgraded the database to SQL 7.0 on a RAID 10 volume. I would like to consolidate all the file groups and files as well as various log files into one primary datafile and logfile. How do I do that? Thanks in advance.

what is the equivalent conversion in SQL Server. Is it just ON PRIMARY in the PRIMARY KEY clause ?? Are the Segments and Extents in Oracle equivalent to Filegroups in SQL Server.

Indexes And File Groups
Jul 23, 2005Something strange.I have a database(SQL2000) with two file group(on seperate physicaldrives).One is meant for table data[PRIMARY] and one for indexes [INDEX].So i create a table on the [PRIMARY] file group, and fill indata.Next I build a clustered index on the table, on the [INDEX] filegroup.Once the index is built, the database now indicates that the filegroupfor the table [INDEX]! and not [PRIMARY] as i originally set it up for!My question it then: Has the table been moved or is this somehow anerror in SQL server?I would really appreciate any thought anyone might have on this?

Balancing IO. File Groups Vs Raid
Jul 20, 2005I will be doing some performance testing on financial application nextmonth. Without going into a lot of details, I suspect I will have apotential bottleneck when writing to the log file.My hardware setup is a quad 2.8 Xeon Dell server direct attached to aDELL/EMC CX200 (Fibre channel array with 10 X 30something GB, 15,000rpm drives, with about 1GB of memory on the array for caching.This is a benchmark environment, so I am not concerned about loosingdata. I am looking for a little guidance on using raid (0 or 10)and/or file groups to spread IO to db objects (log file(s), data,indexes, tempdb, etc). I have read about and played with file groupsenough to know that SQL server does some level of load balancingacross file, but am unclear it is in parallel or serialized.Common wisdom seems to be to separate data, non-clustered index, logs,and tempdb onto separate files, but I am unclear on how to make bestuse of the high-speed disk array. I'd greatly appreciate opinions onwhich would perform better; one file on a stripe set of N drives (raid0 or 10), N files in a file group placed on N (non-striped) drives, ora combination of the two? Is the answer the same for both log and data(or index) files?Thanks,-Bernie

Apr 28, 2014I am looking for the easiest way of rebalancing data across multiple files.
Instead of creating a secondary filegroup and then dropping and recreating all indexes in the database which is going to take ages (we have a lot of tables and indexes), I am trying to just add more files to the primary file group and then rebalance data evenly between these.
I guessed that adding the new files to the primary file group and then rebuilding all indexes on a table should redistribute the table over these multiple file groups evenly. This is not the case though. It does rebalance data a bit but I still end up with the majority on the first file that existed.
I have attached the script I am running, maybe it is something in the create database/file statements that is the issue.
Basically what I am seeing is to start off with the table is 160MB. I then add the file groups and rebuild all indexes on the table. The first file is then about 100MB and each of the three other files are about 20MB. I would expect them all to be the same size.

File Groups: Moving A Large Table
May 8, 2007We have recently added a new file group and file on a new drive. We have tested it by moving a small table to the new file group. We would like to relocate a new table to this file group but the table is about (we estimate) 75GB. My question is this: How long can we expect the transfer of data from the current file group to the new one for this table? I understand that depending on our hardware the answer may vary but does anyone have a rough estimate?
The current current (primary) file is located on a DELL SAN and the new secondary group is on a EMC 4700 both are connected via fiber channel.
Also a bonus question would be: Does a "normal" database backup created as a maintenance plan backup the seconary data as well into the BAK file?
Like I said a rough estimate is fine.
Many thanks,
Scott
File Groups For Table Partitioning And Storage
May 31, 2007Hello,
I am building partitiong tables, partitioning on different file groups:
the question is:
Partitioned table referred to old data that are not frequent accessed for reporting can be stored on separate location(External storage, tape and so on) or to make partitioning functioning must all file groups must be presents?
If not, how can I separate old data from current ones (still using partitioning) to reduce the size of DB?
What it is the best for storage data and easy to access it when needs arise (eg reporting): Tape, external storage, others?
Thank
Problem With Matrix (in Subreport, Multiple Groups), Groups Repeating First Row Data
Jan 25, 2008I have a new SQL 2005 (SP2) Reporting Services server to which I've just upgraded and deployed some SSRS 2000 reports.
I have a subreport that contains a matrix with two groups. The report data seems to be inexplicably repeating the data for the first row in the group for all rows in the group. Example:
ID1
ID2
DisplayData
1
1
A
1
2
B
1
3
C
2
1
A
2
2
B
2
3
C
Parent group is on ID1, child group is on ID2, report would show:
1
1
A
2
A
3
A
2
1
A
2
A
3
A
Is this a matrix bug in 2005 SP2, or do I need to do something differently? I can no longer pull a comparison version from an SSRS 2000 server to verify, but I believe it was working as expected before...

Pros And Cons Of Placing Indexes On Separate File Groups
Apr 20, 2001We are in the process of replacing our primary production server. In the process of determining how SQL server is going to be structured, it has been suggested that I place all current and new indexes on a separate file group. These filegroups would then reside on a separate shelf on the server. What are the pros and cons of doing this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedSQL 2012 :: 500GB Data Warehouse - How To Split It Into File Groups
Aug 21, 2014OK, so I have:
- 500 GB DW
- 5 GB in smaller DBs
- 220 GB TempDB
- 350 GB in Log files.
My machine is Fujitsu Primergy 64 cores (with HT) and 192 GB RAM.
I have several IO locations:
- 540 GB in-server HDD 15k RAID10
- 1 TB HDD 15k RAID10 on SAN (separete controller)
- 2 TB HDD 15k RAID10 on SAN (same controlller as below)
- 800GB SSD RAID10 on SAN (same controller as above)
Data warehouse has 2 fact tables that are absolutely crucial and quite large.
Now i want to organize DB into several Filegroups and put them on different drives. Filegroups I'm thinking of:
- FILEGROUP1: for 1st crucial Fact Table
- FILEGROUP2: for 2nd crucial Fact Table
- FILEGROUP3: for tempDB
- FILEGROUP4: for dimensions data
- FILEGROUP5: for the rest of facts data
- FILEGROUP6: for dimensions indexes
- FILEGROUP7: for the rest of facts indexes
- FILEGROUP8: for 1 log file of one smaller DB (its in full-recovery and its quite large)
- FILEGROUP9: for the rest of log files
- FILEGROUP10: others
How should I organize them across available drives? I was thinking about sth like:
800 GB SSD: FILEGROUPS 1-3
2 TB RAID10: FILEGROUPS 5+7+8
1 TB RAID10: FILEGROUPS 4+6+10
540 GB in-server: FILEGROUP 9
I know that having multiple filegroups on the same drive is pointless regarding performance, but in future i could actually add some more drives, so i want to separate them now.
Also - how much files per filegroups should i create? Considering 1 or 2. Except TempDB where I am going for 4.
Restoring 2000 Backups On 2005 With Read-only Db And File Groups
Mar 30, 2007We have a set of databases some are fully read-only others have read-only file groups, is there any way to restore backups of these taken on an MSDE 2000 to an SQL Express 2005 instance?
When doing the inplace upgrade we change these to read-write before the upgrade and set them back after the upgrade.
These databases are used in the field by customers althought the controlled upgrade requires a backup before (and blocks if it fails) and tries a backup after if the post upgrade backup fails (due to disk space) we might need to recover from this odd situation.
The only solution I have is install MSDE some place restore to this then do the controlled upgrade again, any other ideas?

Adjacency List From SQL Table To XML File
Nov 19, 2007I'm having trouble generating an XML file from a sql table. Basically its an HR Dept. table that has departmentID and ParentDepartmentID. I need to create a hierarchal xml file that has a parent node, and all its departments, and if any of the sub departments have any below them, stick those departments in accordingly. I can do this two ways...either through tSQL or through .NET recursive methods. I've tried the recursion but can't wrap my head around it enough to get it working.
Here is the table schema:
Code BlockCREATE TABLE [dbo].[DepartmentTree](
[DepartmentID] [varchar](13) NOT NULL,
[ParentDepartmentID] [varchar](13) NOT NULL,
[Description] [varchar](30) NOT NULL,
[ManagerEmployeeID] [varchar](13) NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
here is the xml markup I'm looking for (or facsimile thereof...doesnt really matter)
Code Block
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Department ID="1" Name="IT" Manager="12345">
<Department ID="2" Name="IT Info. Sys" Manager="23456" />
<Department ID="3" Name="IT Technical" Manager="34567">
<Department ID="4" Name="IT Technical West" Manager="45678" />
<Department ID="5" Name="IT Technical East" Manager="56789" />
</Department>
</Department>
Here is my test data:
DepartmentID
ParentDepartmentID
Description
ManagerEmployeeID
1
1
IT
12345
2

IT Info. Sys

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to do this?

To List Ssis Packages Stored In File Folder
Nov 13, 2007Hi,
newbie to sql2005. I am trying to write a VB.NET program to list all ssis packages we have stored in a file folder (not in MSDB) where both SqlServer and ssis servers are located. These packages currently running on daily basis by automated jobs with no problem.
I have found the following link on the web that includes VB.Net program. If you scroll down under Example (SSIS Package Store) , you'll see a VB.NET program that I am trying to get it to work for me but keep getting error message like "Cannot find folder......"
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms403343.aspx
My goal is to:
1. List all ssis packages stored in the file systems (.dstx)
2. List DB source and distination providers(tables in/out) in a ssis package
3. List properties for DB providers
4. List FlatFile & Excel file provider properties in a ssis package.
My assumption, but not sure, is that I may need to register this file folder (where packages are located) to the SqlServer if that is not done already. Any command or sys table in Sql2005 to figure this out?
I would appreciate any help on this in advance.
Thank You.
