Hello. I am wondering how to effectively reduce the size of my database. After viewing the individual table sizes, I have come to realize that nearly 99% of the database's size is due to images. I am told that too much binary data is not good. How can I go about reducing the size of my database (possibly the images themselves)? I'd appreciate any help.

Hi,I was wondering what anybodies feelings on storing images and files in SQL server express 2005?I am guessing it is a No No...If this is the case what are the best practices for achieving this?Would something like a table which held the "real name of the file", "a unique identifier" do the trick...hence in code (c#) i could create a GUID for the unique identifier maybe??? and then upload the pictue or file to a common directory and name it with the unique identifier rather than its real name.This means that i could potentially hold a different file with the same name i.e. no conflictsMy app is a sort of HTML editor in asp.net (all html is stored in the db) so if i do upload a picture using a GUID or uniquee identifier then if somebody saves teh image from a webpage then it would be called uniqueIdentifier.jpg which is probably what i don't want.So the only other idea i had was to create a directroy within my site which I would name with the unique identifier and upload the pics and files with thier real names into this directory. Hence each document would have its own directory so there would be no conflicts with filenamesAny advice or comments really appreciatedThanks in advanceIan

I'm building an app that will allow users to create their own photo galleries. At this point, I'm planning on storing all photos as byte arrays in SQL server image fields.
Besides the organizational benefit, is there a space benefit to doing this? That is, if I have 1MB of .jpg's, will those same images take up less than 1MB of file space within the database?
One of the reasons I ask is that most hosting plans out there seem to offer more "normal" disk space than is allocated for the database, so I'm trying to make a best plan to accommodate what will probably end up being the biggest disk space consumer in my app (the photos, that is).
Any other recommendations re: this scenario (hosting, best practices) are appreciated.
TIA,
Eric
My database .mdf file size is around 6 GB however .ldf file size is 200 GB.
Though I don't know exactly what .ldf file is, I believe maybe that is the reason why some of the stored procedures taking long time to run which were running good before.
Can I delete the .ldf file? If not, can I do something to reduce the file size?
The database (tables) are also replicated to another sql server in another computer.
I need to know how big SQL Server 7 backup files are in comparison to the database size. For example if I have a database that is 300 Mb and I do a complete backup to disk with SQL Server 7 will the backup file be about 300 Mb?

I have a 24gig DB that has 1 data file.
Is it possible to RESTORE the backup to a DB that has 2 files

Does one of the files on the the DB have to be at least 24gig to RESTORE?
hi
just wondering if any expert out there can answer my question.

and the drive for datafile A is about full. so is there anyway i can more some of data from A datafile to other data file? or since A+B+C =60G can i make it all 20G for each one of them by any command? thanks!!! :)

I am wondering why deployed packages are so much smaller than built packages. What is removed and why isn't it removed when the packages are built?
I have a package that goes from 3Mb to 1.5Mb
I would like to add to it the actual file size in mb or gb of each file to the results.

when dm.mirroring_state is null then 'No'
else 'Yes'

join sys.database_mirroring dm on sd.dbid = dm.database_id
The sp_spaceused procedure does a nice job on it's own giving me what I want (only one db though), plus a bonus allocated space column. How can I combine this sp with my other query, or is there a better way to ad this information?
Due to SQL's proportional fill algorithm I'd like to have the amount of data in my data files as close to equal as possible.
File sizes before:
dat 482,895 MB 0% free
2dat 436,927 MB 3% free
I made the max size of each file 600,000 MB and added a third file 3dat also 600,000 MB. I rebuilt all the clustered indexes (and nonclustered for good measure) and unfortunately the re-balancing wasn't quite right.
File sizes after:
dat 464,761 MB 77% free
2dat 443,234 MB 73% free
3dat 309,568 MB 51% free
I only have a handful of heap tables that take up <100MB total so they're not the issue. I did do an ONLINE index rebuild. I'm not sure if an offline rebuild would have been better. I will not be able to try and offline for a few weeks though as it's time consuming and I have other tasks I need to run on this test server now.
I did a FULLSCAN rebuild on any column statistics not updated by the index rebuild but that didn't help either.
I am on SQL Server 2008 R2. I have a table that contains a field called [Location]. In that field is a UNC path to the physical file on the repository. Is there a way in SQL Server that I can say give me the select sum([Location] UNC file) where criteria? I saw some posts about xp_filesize or xp_GetFileDetails, but I do not see them in master. I am unable to add anything and wondering if there is any native functionality that would allow me to accomplish this!?

Any good starting point to understand for a specific db, how many max VLFs are good to have so that it does not cause long startup or backup times?
Also, I need some calculation so that I can identify a best growth parameter I will setup for each database ?
I'm seeing the below msg in errorlog and curious to know the changes (right sizing/growth) to be done? As of now 100 MB of log file growth value is set (refer: [URL] ....)
Database BizTalkMsgBoxDb has more than 1000 virtual log files which is excessive. Too many virtual log files can cause long startup and backup times. Consider shrinking the log and using a different growth increment to reduce the number of virtual log files.

I'll try to post the full log in a new post.
Hi folks,Can anyone enlighten me here? I'm trying to use a SPROC which, when supplied with an int, looks up the table and returns certain columns from it.

Using C#, SQL Server 2005, ASP.NET 2, in a web app, I've tried removing the size from parameters of type NCHAR, NVARCHAR, and VARCHAR. I'd rather just send a string and let the size of the parameter in the SP truncate any extra chars if need be. I began getting the error below, and eventually realized it happened only with output parameters, as in the code snippet below.String[3]: the Size property has an invalid size of 0. par = new SqlParameter("@BusinessEntity", SqlDbType.NVarChar); par.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output; cmd.Parameters.Add(par); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();What's the logic behind this? Is there any way around it other than either finding out what the size should be, or assigning a size larger than would ever be needed? ThanksMike Thomas

Just wanted to know what is a general rule of thumb when determining log file space against a database's data file.We allow our data file for our database to grow 10%, unlimited. We do not allow our log file to autogrow due to a specific and poorly written process (which we are in a three month process of remove) that can balloon the log file size.Should it be 10% of the Data file, i.e. if the Date file size is 800MB the log file should be 8MB?I realize there are a myraid of factors that go against file size but a general starting point would be nice.ThanksJeff--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
An MSSQL DB running SAP indicates a smaller DB size (MMC & SAP) than the actual physical size. The difference is about 8 GB.
A lot of records were deleted before this. Did they remain in the DB as NULL values or something ?
Does anyone know what the reason for this could be ? And how to clean this up ?
Thanks in advance,
