View Transaction Log Details

Aug 31, 2004

Please may I have your assistance with the following
I’m struggling to view the transaction log for a database.
I’m using the following command structure

DBCC log ( {dbid|dbname}, [, type={-1|0|1|2|3|4}] )
PARAMETERS:
Dbid or dbname - Enter either the dbid or the name of the database
in question.

type - is the type of output:

0 - minimum information (operation, context, transaction id)

1 - more information (plus flags, tags, row length)

2 - very detailed information (plus object name, index name,
page id, slot id)

3 - full information about each operation

4 - full information about each operation plus hexadecimal dump
of the current transaction log's row.

-1 - full information about each operation plus hexadecimal dump
of the current transaction log's row, plus Checkpoint Begin,
DB Version, Max XACTID

Which I got from a web site, however the output does not make sense to me

Ideally I would like to analyse which SQL insert commands are predominantly using the log file

Any ideas how to do this or a tool that u recommend

Thanks in advance for your help
:confused:

View Transaction Log/history

Mar 14, 2008



Hello, I browsed the internet for an answer but all I can
find is the mention of a third party tool called log explorer
that cost a grand for a single license ... no thank you,
but basically what i want to do is be able to open the .ldf file
that is created to log transactions when you first create a database.
Or if there is another method to view transaction logs then please mention it.
I tried DBCC Log('database') which did not provide me with much information
which I can use.


Thanks in advance,

Error 8525: Distributed Transaction Completed. Either Enlist This Session In A New Transaction Or The NULL Transaction.

May 31, 2008

Hi All

I'm getting this when executing the code below. Going from W2K/SQL2k SP4 to XP/SQL2k SP4 over a dial-up link.

If I take away the begin tran and commit it works, but of course, if one statement fails I want a rollback. I'm executing this from a Delphi app, but I get the same from Qry Analyser.

I've tried both with and without the Set XACT . . ., and also tried with Set Implicit_Transactions off.

set XACT_ABORT ON
Begin distributed Tran
update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.TRANSACTIONMAIN
set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1
update TSADMIN.TRANSACTIONMAIN
set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 and DONE = 1
update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.WBENTRY
set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1
update TSADMIN.WBENTRY
set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1
update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.FIXED
set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1
update TSADMIN.FIXED
set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1
update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.ALTCHARGE
set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1
update TSADMIN.ALTCHARGE
set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1
update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.TSAUDIT
set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1
update TSADMIN.TSAUDIT
set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1
COMMIT TRAN


It's got me stumped, so any ideas gratefully received.Thx

How To View MDF File

Aug 9, 2015

I have an MDF file I really would like to be able to view. It has a lot of legacy office data on it that would just be handy to access.I have tried to install SQL Server 2008 r2 on a 32bit window 10 computer but I do not seem to be able to connect to ./SQLEXPRESS.I have also tried a program that claims to be able to view and MDF file, but it could not.

I don't know for sure but a third party software supplier setup the db for us originaly and they may have put a password in. I don't have access to this password as we now have a new software supplier so I can't exactly contact them.

Transaction Log File And DTS

Jul 16, 2004

:eek: I made a DTS package to import a bunch of data from text files into a db...and the log file keeps filling up.

This is a hosted server and I only have 35mb log file.

I'm really new to the DTS Designer...so what I set up in the DTS is
1. FTP 9 text files down into a temp folder
2. Delete all data in the 9 corresponding tables in the db.
3. import the data from the text files back into the db.

My client will need this DTS run daily.
What are my options for making sure the transaction log doesn't fill up everyday?
The transactions by the DTS (all the deletes and inserts) don't really need to be logged at all.
Is there some kind of maintenance plan I or the net admin could set up?
Is there a SQL command I could add to the DTS to make it not log the transactions that belong to this DTS?
Is there a better way to setup the DTS?

Thanks for any help!!!

Question 2:
Is there a "notify me if someone posts to this thread" feature anywhere on this site? I didn't see it. :eek:

Transaction Log File.. And What Else?

Feb 7, 2007

Hi,
My SQL2000 DB limit is 50GB. I can see I have used under 30 but Avaibale space is only about 11!? The Transaction Log file has taken
over 1/5 of my "precious" space.
Could you advise why TLF has grown so big?
Is it always relative to used space or somethig else as well?
What purpose does it serve?
Can I shrink it or how about bkp and Delete it?

Appreciate any help

Transaction Log File Size.

Nov 29, 1999

I created a database and had its file size as automatic grow. Now the database file is of 17 MB and its transaction log file size is 230 MB. After checking transaction log file properties I came to that it is using 13 mb only and the rest of the 230 MB i.e 217 MB is free. I want that area in the transaction log to be freed and get the transaction file size to its actual size. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

P.S: It is very urgent.

Cleaning Up Transaction File

Apr 16, 2002

I have been getting some strange results while trying to reduce the size of a transaction log file. The background is the database was fully backed up last night. There has been no activity since the backup. A transaction backup was performed 30 minuted prior to my testing. Here is what I tried:

1. dbcc shrinkdatabase ('mydb',1)
Resulted in no change to the size of the log file (Still 110meg)

2. Right clicked on the database in Enterprise Manager and selected Shrink Database. I selected the log file to shrink and it shrunk to 29meg.

3. Tried dbcc shrinkdatabase ('mydb',1) again and no change.

4. Issued backup log mydb with truncate_only and
dbcc shrinkdatabase ('mydb',1) and the size shrunk to 2 meg.

Am I doing something wrong? I thought that after a full backup and backing up the log file, the out of date log records would be able to be shrunk out.

also, why does the Enterprise Manager shrink work differently from the dbcc command?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken Nicholson

Delete 2nd Transaction Log File

Feb 9, 2005

Hello
We have a SQL Server 2000 database with 2 transaction log files.
The 2nd file was created when we were running out of disk space and the person creating it was not familiar with the dbcc shrink command.

I now want to get rid of the 2nd log file. I ran the following steps with no success:

DBCC SHRINKFILE ('Log_file', EMPTYFILE )
--Message: Cannot shrink log file 3 (log_file) because all logical log files are in use.

ALTER DATABASE db1 REMOVE FILE 'Log_file'
--Message: The file 'Log_file' cannot be removed because it is not empty.


There are no users or open transactions in the database. I have also tried sp_detach_db and sp_attach_single_file_db but that does not work either as the database attaches both the transaction logs back.

Please advise.

Thanks

Nina

Backing Up Transaction Log File

Jan 30, 2008

Hi All,
Before posting this, I did search for backing up the transaction log file(.LDF).Currently transaction log file is 4 GB size and I want to reduce it to few MBs.Will the following procedure work?
1)Take the backup of transaction log file by executing the statement-
BACKUP LOG <name of DB> TO <name of db>backup

2)Run DBCC shrink file statement to reduce the log file size-
DBCC SHRINKFILE(<name of log file>,25)
This is as per procedure explained in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272318

Will this free up 4GB physical space on drive? or anything else I need to do ?

Thanks

Transaction Log File Size Too Big

Jan 31, 2003

(Windows 2000 professional running SQL Server 2000)

How do you reduce the file size of the transaction log? Is it safe to delete the transaction log? I tried clicking on the ellipse (...) box in database properties, but even tho i'm the dba, it says i don't have permissions to do that! I see the "automatically grow transaction log" and "maximum file size for transaction log" dialogs, but our transaction log is already 5.5 GB, and we need for it to be WAY smaller! Is there a way to back it up, then start over with a new one or something?

Deleting Transaction Log File

Apr 16, 2008

I am trying to remove the transaction log file since I have created another one on a seperate drive by it wont let me do it . I get this error "cant delete the primary data or log file"
Now microsoft site clearly state steps for deleting the transaction log file , by first emptying it and then deleting it BUT IT DOESNT WORK.
I have even tried detaching the database and then removing the transaction log file and then attaching the database again BUT it attaches the transaction file back again GRRRRRR

then on top of this MS SQL studio does not allow to put PRIMARY or anyother value to the Filegroup for tansaction log files so how on earth can a transaction file be "primary" as the error is stating ??????

can anyone tell me how to get rid of a transaction log file that was created with the database ?
