Aug 22, 2007Hi,
I have a database with two log files. I need to truncate one file because it has 40GB.
I tried
Highlight the database-> Tasks->Detach..-> Click OK
Go to log file folder -> rename the testDev_log.ldf to be like testDev_log-aa.ldf,
Highlight Databases->Attach€¦-> Click Add -> add the database testDev, highlight the log file and click the €˜Remove€™ button. This means you only attach testDev.mdf
After this is done, you can verify the contents of the attached database and then delete the log file.but doesn' t work. I read that the problema could be multiple log files, so i tried remove one log file but a get the error that file is not empty.
How can i remove th log file?

View 1 Replies View RelatedProper Way To Truncate Log After Performing Full Backup (SQL Server 2000)
Jan 29, 2007Hello all - I have a SQL Server 2000 database setup using the Full Recovery Model. Each night, we backup the entire database, and as such would like to truncate the log at this time as well.
Is the best way to do this to also backup the Transaction Log, and then perform a DBCC SHRINKFILE command? It just seems like there should be an easier way...?
Thanks!
SQL 2012 :: Cannot Truncate Log File Which Is Part Of Transaction Replication
Feb 9, 2015SQL 2012 Ent SP2
Database is in simple recovery mode, and published with transaction replication push subscription, just one subscriber but the database is huge. I don't want to overwrite the schema at the subscriber either.
I had to run an alter database command on a published database, it created so many logs that an extra drive had to be added along with an extra log file to accommodate all the logs.
The problem I have is I'd like to know clear the file of logs so I can drop the temporary log file, and give the drive back, but I cannot.
I have tried dbcc shrinkfile with the emptyfile option but it never clears, I have also tried it with notruncate and truncateonly options (mainly out of desperation).
I do not need to worry about point in time restore as a full backup is taken before and after the operation. After which the database will be put back into Full recovery mode.
I have looked at log_reuse_wait_desc and the file says 'Replication', so I am now thinking the file cannot empty because replication is keeping one of the VLFs active. I tried dropping and recreating the subscription hoping it might free something up and I could get somewhere, but it made no difference.
Do I have to remove replication completely to get round this? Surely not.
I have also tried putting the database back into full recovery mode, doing a full DB backup, and a transaction log backup, but its made no difference, which is also what makes me think a portion of the log is still active because of replication, and perhaps the transactions have not gone through to the subscriber, which raises another question, why not?
I have not tried restarting SQL server, as I'd like to know a way out of this without having to do that, plus I do not think it would make any difference anyway.
Input Flat File Is - Truncate Extra Data
Jun 10, 2007I am using the flat file connection manager. I read in a set of flat files and copy them into a staging database table. I want to ignore anything in the text file past column 266. I can't get this to work correctly. I can't define the last column to end at 266 and ignore the rest. I tried adding an extra column but that did not work either.

May 10, 2015I want to truncate my sharepoint config database and WSS_Logging database logs the size of sharepoint_config database is growing at a pace of ~10GB every week. I have scheduled a weekly full backup. Current .ldf file size is 113GB.

'Truncate' Command Doesn't Truncate Enough
Dec 30, 2004With a database size of almost 2 GB, I run the 'truncate table eventlog command' which completes successfully, but the database size only decreases by about 10 MB so stays too large - indeed the number of rows in the eventlog table is minimal, but the otehr tables in this database don't show such an amount of tables large enough to cause the size issue either. What could be the reason and how can I reduce it (possibly truncating another table but then which one, how could I determine which is too large and needs truncating?).

View 2 Replies View RelatedTo Truncate Or Not To Truncate: That Is The Question..
Apr 17, 2008Hi all...
Please forgive the elementary nature of my question, but could someone please explain the differences between these two database backup types:
1. Log backup
2. Log backup no truncate
From what I understand and have read, the "no truncate" backup method keeps the entire transaction log indefinitely. Using the truncation method, the transaction log is either 1) compressed or 2) cleaned up so that any completed transactions are removed from the log. Which one of these is true?
And, for the big question: is it better to run a backup of the transaction log with truncation or not? Our current backup scheme is similar to the following:
Full backup every 24 hours
transaction log backup every hour with no truncation
Should we insert a truncation backup somewhere in here? What is the danger of removing (or compressing) parts of the transaction log? Will this affect the restore process?
Thanks in advance!

Specifying Table To File In SQL 2000
Jun 13, 2006Following on from http://forums.databasejournal.com/showthread.php?t=42959 it has been asked for the ability to specify certain tables to be in certain database files, but I'm unaware this can be done. They want the archive tables to be on a seperate volume (on a cheaper set of disks/lower performing RAID set, for example) to the live data.
Can this be done with SQL 2000 Enterprise server?

BCP this file to SQL. No problem until I get to the text column coming from

Any thoughts?

View 1 Replies View RelatedImport .dat File To SQL 2000
Oct 17, 2005My company designs our own banking software written in Progress. Currently twice a year (during our releases) we require our bank customers to run a program on their system that pulls certain data and dumps it to a .dat file. This .dat file was then imported (using another progress program) into a Progress database that our development team created (called stats.db) so we could have access to certain information regarding the customer's software/hardware set-up and utilization of programs,etc. This stats.db is now going away as we have a centralized SQL database for all customer information. The new process will be for our customers to send in their .dat files, they would be forwarded onto me, then I will need to import them into our SQL database. I am struggling in finding a way to do this. Our .dat files contain one field that holds the information, therefore the data is not delimited in such a way that I can just pull it into Excel, Access, CSV, etc. How can I go about pulling data out of these .dat files into a view/table in SQL for importing?
I am at a total loss and have spent hours researching this issue. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

SQL Server 2000 Log File Size
Nov 10, 2006Am running several databases on SQL server 2000.
Have several overnight jobs for interface and maintenance, etc.
Log file on one specific database increases in size 10 fold overnight. Unable to trace why.
I have a job to truncate the logs before the final overnight backup. Several times a week the job hangs - on nights when log file expands, so it is a pain. Able to resolve the issue after the event, but do not understand why the log file increases in size (at that time) in the first place. No other activity on the server at the time.
Attaching A SQL Server 2000 DB W/out The Log File

I know in version 7.0 you could reattach with out the log file but I am having a more difficult time figuring out how to get around thin in SQL 2000. Anybody got any ideas???

My database corrupted because when I was running an update query, there is a power failure. After the computer booted, I cannot open the database anymore, it just not responding. Then I stop the sql server service, and tried to rename the .mdf and .ldf. After that it worked normally, but I need the data from the corrupted mdf file, I tried to attach the database but it just hanged. I even tried to attach without the .ldf file but it didn't work either, so I concluded that the problem is with the mdf file.
Is there any way to recover my data ??

How Does Bcp.exe File Differ For SQL 2000 And SQL 2005 ?

I am trying to bcp from a remote server. They have bcp.exe file installed . I guess this is for SQL 2000 server.
I am able to bcp data from SQL 2000 server . But I am unable to bcp data from SQL 2005 server which has servername like "servernameinstancename"
I am getting error " Server does not exists or access denied"
How does the bcp.exe file differ for SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 servers? Do I need to install anything to make this workl?
