I am having trouble increasing the size of the log device on a SQL 6.5 database. When I use SQL Enterprise Manager I get an error saying that the device has 0 MBs available. When I use the ALTER DB statement I get an error saying that there is not enough space on the disk, but I know this not to be the case. Has anyone any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Hello all,
Can I know somedetail about why the Sqlservr.exe app increasing in size drastically. Even I check all parameter of the server and I check the process running on server.
I feel server is not releasing the queues and It is occupying the memory. I any one suggest what could be the cause ?
Thanks,
Hello,
Does anyone know of a good process to increase a Column size of type char, that already had data in it, without losing the data you already have?

Hello, relatively new to SQL Server.
I have a database with 1 .mdf data file and 1 .ldf t-log file. There are multiple inserts/deletes/transactions performed on the data daily, but the size of the two files remains constant (5,774,,336 and 153,480 respectively)??? I perform daily full backups and hourly T-log backups (during business hours of 9-6) and these backup files change size, but why aren't my physical DB files changing? I have them set to auto-grow at 10% unrestricted...
Thanks for your help/advice

Hi all
I have a Publisher,distributor and subscriber in the same server
The distribution database size has increased upto 30GB (.mdf file)
what are the reasons that .mdf file would incease to such extent.
we do some data migration to tables which are replicated
is there a way we can reduce the distribution.mdf size?
Thanks
Is there a way to increase the size of the procedure cache. Or is it only a auto configuring option.
I have 2gb of memory, and when I check the size of the procedure cache it is just 10mb. I would like to increase this to around 50mb. Not sure if there is an setting to do this. Had a look on BOL could not find anything.
thanks

Just wondering if you could help me on this one. I'm not sure if mytransaction logs are behaving oddly or what. I've successfuly managedto shrink my transaction logs from 7GB down to 1MB and now I find itstrange that the log file doesn't seem to increase its size. Thetimestamp of the logfile is updating as well. But the size of the fileis constant. I haven't configured my database to do auto-shrink so Imreally confused why it hasn't changed its size for more than a monthnow.Hope I'm not losing any data here.Kindly advise.

I am using SQL Server 2000 with replication object for two location. Log size on publisher go upto 25 times of data file size, I mean 80 MB Data files has maintains 2 GB log file and it is same for all five co's working on same windows 2000 advanced server board.
Since last week server randamly get disconnected from user applications and at that time few tables are not openable at server.
Can any one give a reason ? Why this type misbehaviou done by SQL Server 2000?
Thanks.
I have a database which is centered around two date tables (approx. 5.5 million records each). We are finally making the big leap from SQL Server 2005 to 2012. The data is currently stored as datetime, and we are hoping to take advantage of the new date datatype, since the time component is not needed.
The first table has 13 different date columns. In testing on the 2012 server I have changed 3 columns so far, and have seen that changing the datatype to date is actually increasing the Index size and not affecting the data size. Only 3 of the columns are associated with indexes, and modifying a non-indexed column still increased the index size. I am running the Disk Usage by Table report to view the sizes.
Hi to all,
I am using a connection string like
data source=RemoteHostName;initial catalog=myDb;password=sa;user id=sa;
Max pool size = 200;
And now strange thing is happening ,, I am receiving error :
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection
from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in
use and max pool size was reached
The SqlServer Activity Manager is telling that only 100 connections are pooled, and I guess that the Max pool size is 100, It is not being changed by my Connection string. As I am trying to change the default 100 pool size value to 200.
Huh , So stucked up , how to increase the Max pool size.. Is there any way .
I am getting worrried.
Any help ??
Thx and Regards
Hi,
What I need to do is restore a full backup of one database to a database where disk space is limited.
so my source device is 2gb for data and 1gb for tranlog
my dest is 1.5gb for data and .5gb for tranlog
I am thinking this is not possible, but thought I would post here anyway!
Thanks in advance!
Can anyone suggest a method to reduce the size of one our log devices. The DB was set up
initially at 500Mb with a log size of 1 Gb (typo by the client). We would like to reduce it to 100Mb.
if possible. Our environment is SQL Server 6.5 with service pack 3.
thanks,,,brad
SQL Enterprise manager is reporting my database device size to be a negative number.
Primarily, this is the case for the log files, but also occurs on a few of the .dat files.
Is there a correction? Is this a display error, or an actual size conflict/
I have created a backup device. THe file it wrote (.dat) is 1.2 gig when I tried to run another backup to it it failed (3sec) Is there a size limitation on the Device or .dat file size?
Just testing things out I tried to directly open this file and it gave me a memory problem(Try closing other applications not enough memory to open "filename").
I would appreciate your help, thanks

I just upgraded our application from SSCE 2.0 to SQL Mobile. Our app is written in C++, and we use OLE DB for most of our queries, including the routine the downloads and inserts our lookup table data. This application is running on a Dell Axim X51.
Using SSCE 2.0, this routine takes 236 seconds, with most time spent inserting data into various tables (using OLE DB). The resultant database size is 15.1 MB.
Using SQL Mobile, this routine now takes 675 seconds, with a resultant database size of 27.9 MB!! There is a noticable increase in time when the downloaded data is being inserted into the database.
What would be the reason(s) for the slower performance and the increased size of the database? This appears to be a monumental step backwards in performance. Any suggestions regarding improving the perfomance and size?
I have several clients who are reporting a negative file size on their database devices in Enterprise Manager. The sp_helpdevice procedure reports the size correctly. Any suggestions?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a database in development in SQL Server 6.5 that needs to be occasionally deleted and rebuilt from a script when table structures are changed. I found that when very complex queries were performed, the 2 MB default size of tempdb filled up and returned errors, so I went to the Enterprise Manager to expand tempdb, learned that I had to first expand a device to expand tempdb into, and foolishly chose to expand tempdb into the same device space used by my application, instead of into one of the system databases. Now when I try to delete the device in preparation for its rebuild, the Enterprise Manager responds with an error message saying the device can't be deleted because it contains system tables. Is there any way to get the expanded portion of tempdb out of my application device so that the device can be deleted, without reinstalling SQL Server?

I am trying to resize a database initial log file from 500M to 2M. I€™m using€?
ALTER DATABASE <DBNAME> MODIFY FILE ( NAME = <DBLOGFILENAME, SIZE = 2 ) "
And I'm getting "MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size." I tried going into the database properties and setting the log file to 2M, but it doesn€™t keep the changes.
Any help with this process?
Hi, I was aware of an idea that I want to share with you guys: Here's the thing, I have an Access DB that I will pass to SQL, optimizing its structure and data, to optimize then its performance. About this last issue, the present Access DB has some consultations very redundant. Take this example as "source code": Consultation A is made by selecting some fields with some conditions on consultations A and B. I want to end this. Consultation A is consultation A, B is B and C is C, they all are made by themselfs.However, a new idea came to light! This data is to be displaied on a Web application on VB.Net, and I want to show the results from consultation A, B and C, once per time, but all sequencially. What if I execute two commands, one reading consultation A (by a stored procedure), another to consultation B, and save that data in an arraylist of objects, and then generate consultation A based on those application objects that are alread instaned and ready to use, selecting the final data on those objects and not in the database? Am I making any mistake, or am I optimizing performance somehow? The final purpose is really getting the most performance as we can!Any tips on this?Thanks a lot!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I have a general question about running/storing databases. I have been running a process with 60+ million records in one table and another 16 million in another table and it is taking forever to get everything imported in and run the appropriate queries. I've been doing this all on a desktop and I am anxious to learn of a more efficient, faster method of processing this amount of data.
What solution should I pursue if I am doing this work a few times a year so that it doesn't take three full days of processing to reach an answer with the data?
Thanks.
I've received conflicting information from Microsoft personnel so thought I'd see what some thoughts here are.
In summary, we upgraded a server from SQL Server 2000 SP4 Standard to SQL Server 2005 SP2 Standard. This servers main purpose is to handle alot of merge replication to anonymous pull subscribers. We have some Transactional replication also occurring. There are 8GB memory on the server.
During the upgrade we ran into memory pressure on MemToLeave. We put the /3GB parameter in boot.ini and -g512 on the startup per Microsoft's suggestions. This got us past the upgrade process.
After the upgrade, we took off the boot.ini setting and the -g512. We enabled AWE and assigned 6GB to SQL Server. Then once in a while when the merge snapshots were running, we'd receive some "system out of memory" errors. I went ahead and put -g512 back on and haven't received the error since.
My question to Microsoft then was if we go to say 16GB of memory on the box and give say 14GB to SQL Server, would it be beneficial to set the -g option to a higher number. That's when I got into a discussion with the Microsoft person that SQL Server 2005 Standard would not use anything above 4GB, which is opposite what the Microsoft site says, others have said, and opposite to what I'm seeing for memory usage with DBCC MEMORYSTATUS showing the 6GB being used We'll be talking to our TAM about our suppport, specifically on Replication topics, as we've had some problems getting knowledgable support on this topic. If anyone knows of support outside of Microsoft on Replication topics, I'd love to hear about it.
Any thoughts on the tweaking of memory related to our environment? I know it may be site-specific and we may have to do some trial and error, but with:
1. Doing heavy merge replication processing on the server(1,500 subscribers).
2. say we get 16GB on the box(server is Windows 2003 SP2 Enterprise)
are there some suggestions on a -g setting to best utilize Buffer Pool and MemToLeave ? Some other things to do? Is there some process/method to help determine how best to define the memory settings? If there a way to see how much BPOOL and/or MemToLeave the system is using at a given moment? DBCC MEMORYSTATUS gives alot of info, but I'll be the first to admit that I don't know what alot of the info there is really telling me. If there some white paper, etc that would help determine what the system is doing memory-related, that'd be great to know.
Thanks for any help,
Doug
Hi,
one of our clients is running out of disk space on the SAN and I was simply wondering if it's possible to increase the disks on the fly without any major problems...? Should we take any special precausions? It's a clustered Win2k3 64-bit server with SQL Server 2005 Ent Edition...

Hello All,
I have faced a network problem during some days, what forced one of our replications to be stopped.
The Publisher database is a high volume database.
After I re-started the replication, the Subscirber database has its transacting log size increased quickly, because of the high volume of information to be inserted.
My concern is the way it is working, there will be no enough space for the log or for its backup files.
So, I have created a TSQL job within the following commands:
BACKUP LOG database_name
WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY
DBCC SHRINKDATABASE (database_name,TRUNCATEONLY)
It's running every 20 minutes, however the transaction log remains increasing.
I have also changed the db_option "SELECT INTO/BULKCOPY" to TRUE, in order to avoid logging bulk copies, but I believe, it didn't work because it didn't apply to replication process.
Does Anybody know if I can disable the transaction log or avoid this incresing of size during the replication?
Thanks a lot!

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am currently migrating a DB from Oracle to SQL Server (Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86))
I've used ssma to do the migration, and I'm reviewing the prodedures to check them. I have find a performance problem in one of them, which worked perfectly under Oracle, and I have tried lots of things with no luck, so I guess I need some help
I insert a row in a table, and the time it takes for this is fine, but seconds later I need to read the row, and this Select lasts 1-2 ms more every time. This process is repeated lots of times.
Every insert-select takes 200 ms when it receives the first data (including some other operations that are not increasing the response time), and 200 insertions later it takes about 500 ms, which is really too much, considering it keeps increasing.
The table has 25+ columns, and some of them contain varchar of 3000+ characters.
I make the select using 4 columns in the where part. One of them is a numeric, and the rest are varchar (no one is the primary key).
I've got a clustered index for the primary key, and two more non-clustered indexes. One of them refers to the columns I use in the Select, and the parameters are Fill Factor: 90, and Recompute Statistics Automatically.
I hope I explained properly...
Any ideas?
