I already did the following but still it wont delete the log file because it is not empty
- DBCC SHRINKFILE('logfilename',EMPTYFILE)
- DBCC SHRINKFILE('logfilename',TRUNCATEONLY)
- ALTER DATABASE databasename REMOVE FILE logfilename
How can I repair the database (5 gb) and remove the transaction log (45 gb). Whenever I run the maintanence wizard, it corrupts the db and I have to restore the db. Whenever I try to shrink the transaction log, the query runs but it doesn't shrink it at all. Is there a manual method for either of these and if so, how?

I have a database server with over 300 databases. I want that MS-SQL Server should daily report me the sizes of SQL databases along with Transaction log files by sending me an email on my address.
How can I do that. Does someone have any script which can help me to do that.
Any help will be appreciated.

i would like to know it's possible to find all transaction(insert, delete,update) on a database for a day. if yes what can i do.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe MDF and LDF files are placed in SSD drive and tempdb files are placed in HDD drive. Snapshot isolation is enabled on the database. When a script is executed to insert data with NULL value to a table which has NOT NULL column, the transaction fails and then a log undo happens which fails and takes the database to suspect mode.
But when the MDF and LDF files are placed in HDD drive all this do not happen. The transaction just fails.
First of all i do not know whether this is the right form to ask the question Let me describe the scenario iam using Iam generating xml files at a particular place and sending them to a server xml1|--------------------->dataset1------------------------------>adapter1.update(dataset1)xml2|----------------------->dataset2----------------------------->adapter2.update(dataset2)xml3|----------------------->dataset3------------------------------>adapter3.update(dataset3) all the three updates should happen in only one transaction if any one of the update fails then the transaction should rollbackcan anyone tell me a way to do iti am desperately in search of any ways to do it can anybody help please

I have the need to delete old backup files via TSQL job. Found this solution online:
PushD "
emoteservershareDIFF" &&(
forfiles -m *DIFF*.sqb -d -1 -c "cmd /c del /q @path"
) & PopD
It works remotely if I run it via command prompt. But when I add this to a TSQL job on my remote SQL instance, it runs without deleting anything. What I'm missing?
First, this is not my code.
This one is weird and I am missing something fundamental on this one. A developer was getting a timeout with this...

Suddenly this constraint was being violated with the change

(
[ClmRecdPyID]
) REFERENCES [CLAIMSRECEIVEDPAYORS] (
[CLMRECPYID]
)
Is the delete on ClaimsReceivedPayors starting before the delete on ClaimsreceivedPayorServices finishes? If so why would it matter between the join and subquery? This one is making me depressed because I can not explain it.
I am wanting to reduce the amount of Virtual Log Files I have. In reading through the Online Book Documentation, I realize that I have forgotten to move the Transaction Log Files to a different drive. Now that the server is in production, I wanted to get some input about the best way of making this change.
Can I just change the directory the log files are being written to in the DB properties without having any adverse problems occurring?
Hi there!
I wanted to move transaction log from drive e: to drive d:.
I run DBCC SHRINKFILE(finance_log, EMPTYFILE) before ALTER DATABASE.
Two weeks are gone and now old file is empty and I'm trying to delete it running:
ALTER DATABASE FINANSE
REMOVE FILE Finance_log
GO
and I'm getting error message:
Server: Msg 5020, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
The primary data or log file cannot be removed from a database.
Have you experienced with this problem? How to resolve it?
Thank you,
Elena.
I currently have 3 transaction logs (TR1, TR2, TR3)setup for a database (DB1). The space allocated for TR1 is much to high at 800 MG and TR2 and TR3 are 80 MG apiece. I would like to migrate the data to on of the smaller transaction log files. What is the best way to do this?
On a test system I tried backing up both the database and the transaction log and then executing 'DBCC SHRINKFILE (TR1, emptyfile)'. I thought this would purge inactive transactions from TR1 and mark it as no longer being allowed to take active transactions. When I try to perform a 'ALTER DATABASE DB1 REMOVE FILE TR1' I receive the message the Primary data or log file cannot be removed from the database. So I'm wondering if the file is empty and how I designate another TR file as being the primary log file?
Thank you for any help you can provide!

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

Question: (SQL Server 2000) Can I arbitrarily delete a transaction logfile in either bulk or full with a cron job and still be able torestore a backup? Or are the log and the .bak enmeshed to the extentthat this not do-able?Details: I need to exclude a file group from a backup as it's staticdata and replicated on a remote server. In order to do this I cannotuse a simple recovery model which I currently use; at least in the GUIthe exclude filegroup option is grayed-out. So it appears I need to useeither bulk or full backups although I only need the functionality ofthe simple model.Is there another way to delete/truncate this transaction log withoutmaking a backup? Or can I just schedule backup through the day tohandle this issue?Obviously I am not a DBA but still need to solve this problem.Thanks,Phil

View 20 Replies View RelatedI've been tasked with coming up with a process to delete old files out of a certain directory. It's prefered to have a configuration file to go in and be able to change the number of days to retain files (7 for delete files older than 7 days for example). I've been told I can do this with SSIS. Can anybody point me in the right direction to do this in SSIS or even in DOS? I don't know ActiveX scripting if that's what's needed in SSIS. I prefer doing something like this in DOS but not sure it's possible to automate. Any help is appreciated.

I have a database with two data files as x.mdf, y.ndf and two transaction log files as l1.ldf, l2.ldf. I wanted to have only one log file for this database. What are possible options for me to make these two transaction log files into one transaction log file leaving data files as it is?

Hi All,
I am trying to understand the difference between the physical, logical and virtual logs. I found some info in BOL, but I am still a little bit confused.
What is the physical file? Is each transaction considered a physical file?
Each physical log file consists of a number of virtual log files.
Then what about the logical log? When does it come into play?
Thanks.
Hi,
I'm wondering if when adding another transaction log file, if the DB needs to be detached in order to remove that file. Or rather, what do you have to do in order to reduce the number of transaction log files..?

Hello,
How to delete old files stored in a directory using dos script?.
I appreciate your feedback.
Thanks,

I have a database with 2 log files VE_log and VE_log2 (the split is left from legacy system with limited disk space). I want to eliminate the 2nd log.
I've tried SHRINKFILE (EMPTYFILE), which of course reduces the file to the default minimum pages, SHRINKFILE (TRUNCATEONLY), SHRINKDATABASE (VE), and in every case the ALTER DATABASE REMOVE FILE command fails cause the log isn't empty.
Ideas???
Thanks,
