How To Accelerate The Insert Rate And Reduce Transaction Logs

Jan 10, 2007

SQL Server 2005
XEON CPU 3.0G
MEMORY 2.0G
RAID

Tow tables:
HIS_HTTP_ONLINE_LOG(PARTITION)       FOR HISTORY DATA
REL_HTTP_ONLINE_LOG(NOT PARTITIONED) FOR EVERYDAY DATA,
AND THEY HAVE THE SAME STRUCTURE

CREATE TABLE HIS_HTTP_ONLINE_LOG(
ID numeric(20,0)  NOT NULL,
USERID varchar(32) NOT NULL,
USERIP varchar(16) NOT NULL,
USERPORT numeric(10, 0) NULL,
OBJECTIP varchar(16) NULL,
OBJECTPORT numeric(10, 0) NULL,
HTTPURL varchar(256) NULL,
HTTPHOST varchar(128) NULL,
HTTPDNS varchar(128) NULL,
VISITIME numeric(10, 0) NULL,
STARTIME datetime NOT NULL,
ENDTIME datetime NOT NULL
).......

SELECT * INTO REL_HTTP_ONLINE_LOG
SELECT *
FROM HIS_HTTP_ONLINE_LOGWHERE 1=2

There are 5 indexes in HIS_HTTP_ONLINE_LOG ,
There is not one index in REL_HTTP_ONLINE_LOG

There are about 5000,000 records in REL_HTTP_ONLINE_LOG everyday,
at night it will move into HIS_HTTP_ONLINE_LOG automatically,
The data of everyday in REL_HTTP_ONLINE_LOG will be last 90 days.

My operations:
1: ALTER DATABASE DB SET RECOVERY SIMPLE
2: EXEC SP_DBOPTION DB, 'select into/bulkcopy', 'TRUE'
3:INSERT INTO REL_HTTP_ONLINE_LOG
   SELECT * FROM HIS_HTTP_ONLINE_LOGWHERE 1=2
4: TRUNCATE TABLE REL_HTTP_ONLINE_LOG

ASK:
why the step 3 cost so much time ? (about 1 hour)
 and how can I reduce the transaction logs in this period ? 
 
Could you give me some suggestions ?
Thanks!

How To Reduce The Transaction Log File

Feb 11, 2004

Hi all,

I know this topic has been discussed in the past, but I still don't quite get it. So please be patient with me

database size created with automatically growth of 10% with unrestricted file growth.

database size = 5 Gb used 4.5 GB (taskpad)
transaction log=8GB used 54MB (taskpad) 7.5 GB free
database run in FULL mode

full backup nightly, transaction log backup every 30 min

What should I do to free up the space that are not used in the transaction log.


Thanks for your help.

Reduce The Transaction Log File Size

Dec 10, 2001

hi, i'm a newbie in SQL Server and have recently setup a test SQL 7 server. I used all the defaults at the beginning, and now the MDB file is about 500MB and the LDF file is of similar size.

i'm still trying to figure out how to reduce the size of the transaction log file. Currently I only have full backup of the database once a week, and there is no backup for transaction log.

as of this moment, the transaction log is of not much use to me, but I really want to get it reduced as i'm running out of disk space.

and i'd also greatly appreciate if someone could suggest a good DBA practice on the proper setup/handling of transaction logs (how to balance the disk-space usage AND be able to use the transacton logs for proper roll-over during a recovery process).

i'd soon be setting up a SQL 7 server where about 10 active users are expected at any one time. I've read that the transaction log file should be about 40% to 50% of the estimated size of the database file, and should be allowed "auto-grow". So what happens if the more space is required by the transaction logs? Does a full-backup purge the transaction logs (like the way they do in Exchange Server)?

Thanks!

MS SQL 2000- Reduce Transaction Log Size

May 5, 2004

The size of my transaction log file is out of control. I've backed up the database and the transaction log went from 120 GB to 120 MB. Now, I can't reduce the size of the transaction log file. It's still at 120 GB (w/ almost all of that being held as Free Space). I get errors when I try to manually reduce the file size. Any tips?

Transaction Logs

Jan 8, 2004

i have several sql servers doing maintenance plans and backing up the transaction logs to tape. unfortunately it seems that the server keeps adding the transaction logs to the same tape, without overwriting them. Nowadays a transaction log backup to disk takes 2 minutes but when done to tape it is taking up 1hr54minutes. What can i do so that the tape is automatically initialised without having to do it manually... Thanks

Hi, I know just about nothing about SQL Server. I am getting this error:The log file for database 'my_database' is full. Back up the transaction logfor the database to free up some log space.I can't access the transaction logs to back them up. I am told that my ISP'stech support should have it set up to shrink those logs automatically everyso often. Is that true?Why are they needed? Up till Monday, the logs are just of our getting SQLServer set up, so couldn't the logs just be deleted? Most of my site can'trun with this problem.I'd appreciate any enlightenment anyone can give me!Thanks, Jill

This seems like it'd be a really stupid question, but for the life of me Ihaven't been able to find an answer that works....I have a database that's approximately 400MB when shrunk... and thetransaction logs are at about 4.8GB when shrunk... I can't seem to get thetransaction log any smaller, no what I try. How can I get the log downbelow 1GB and keep it there? I've only got an 18GB hard drive and I need torun 2 copies of this database.-steve

SQL 7.0 Transaction Logs Won't Shrink!!!

Jun 5, 2002

I have seen quite a few people post this type of problem, but I am finding few solutions. Your advice and/or experiences are greatly appreciated.

Here's my scenario:

Environment: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, SQL 7.0 (set up for Transactional Replication)

Problem: We have several remote dB machines configured for full recovery. On these machines are several dB's that are capturing aprox. 280 data points per second per unit. (Each dB represents one unit, and we have 21 units) No problem here. The problem is the transaction logs, that obviously grow profusely, will not SHRINK after, backups, dbcc commands and TSQL has been issued in failed attempts to shrink the logs. (in other words we've tried everything)

My questions are:

1. Because we are replicating, is it absolutely necessary to configure dB's for FULL recovery? How do I check in 7.0 if the dB is certainly in FULL vs. SIMPLE recovery mode?

2. I work with SQL 2000 and shrinking files is no problem. How can we shrink these log files in SQL 7.0?

It is rather urgent I find a solution as we are running out of hard drive space on our remote machines. Please help :-(

How Can I Move Transaction Logs?

May 4, 2000

Currently, my databases and their corresponding transaction logs are all on the same disk array. I finally was able to acquire a seperate disk, specifically to seperate the logs, in case of failure, etc.
Now, I need to figure out how to go about moving the tansaction logs off the current disk array and on to the new disk.
In Enterprise Manager, I brought up "Properties" for the first database, and went to the "Transaction Log" tab. Clicked on the "browse" or "..." button in the location field and got the following message:
"A transaction log file's physical name cannot be changed once the transaction log file has been created". :(

I have been looking through Books On Line, but have been unable to find anything helpful yet.

Can anyone help me figure out how to go about moving a transaction log's location? There has to be some way.
Even if it involves shutting down the server, altering system tables, etc. I need to get these moved.

Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

Help !!! None Of My Transaction Logs Are Getting Backed Up

Jan 19, 2001

Hi all,

I have set up a maintenance plan to backup my databases but when I view the maintenance plan history the transaction log backup steps have a success tick but a message saying :

"Backup can not be performed on this database. This sub task is ignored"

I have looked in my backup directory and only see *.BAK files and no *.TRN.
The transaction logs are supposed to back up at 1AM and the databases at 2AM

All my databases being backed up have the truncate log on checkpoint option set. Is this best practise according to my backup schedule ?

Help !!!!

Regards,

Tim

Restoring From Transaction Logs.

Aug 28, 2000

Hi all,

I am restoring database from Transaction Logs. I followed all the steps
mentioned in the book. Just before the last step there are three options
1. Leave Database Operational. No Additional Logs can be Restored.
2. Leave Database Nonoperational But Able to Restore Additional
Transaction Logs.
3. Leave Database Read_Only And Able To Restore Additional Transaction Logs.

Option 2 and 3 aresupposed to set on the NORECOVERY flag.

I tried both options 2, and 3 , But still got messages that I did not
specify WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY.

Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in Advance.
