Hi all
I have a DB with 1 data file, 1 log file and 1 index file.
data file is 3 GB but index file is 12 GB.
Index file is growing big day by day.
This cause performance of DB down.
What should I do to prevent index file become bigger and size of index file smaller?
Thanks in advanced

The TEMPDB transaction log file keeps growing.The database server is new and the transaction log was presized to 1 GB on installation. After installing a number of databases, the log file grew over a day to 38GB. Issuing a manual checkpoint was the only way to free some space to allow it to be shrunk back to a usable size. The usage of the file is still going up.
I am struggling to find what process is causing the log to be used so heavily. Looking at the log reuse wait desc for tempdb returns "Nothing" and tempdb itself isn't being used very much or growing in size.
Why does a log (.ldf) file keep growing and growing and growing? Is this related to the fact that the scheduled Maintenance keeps failing due to exclusive access problems?

Hi,
my log files are growing like anything. One of my log file size is 20GB.
How i have to reduce the log file size.
If i run DBCC command is it come backs...
Pls tell me the way how i have to find the free space and reduce logsizes.
After taking backups also my log file sizes are not reducing.
Thanks!

I have a database of 22 gb in sql 2000, my database option is set to full recovery mode, the problem i'm having is the tran log is growing too fast, this morning it was 24 gb, more than the database size. Can anyone help how I can keep it in a managable size?
Thanks in advance!!
My log file was 2x the size of my actual Database which is obviously too large on a DEV box. I know that my data can be easily recovered so I actually do not even want/need a log file.
After doing some investigation I found that I should turn my database into "Simple Recovery Mode" and after this I used a few scripts to truncate my log file. Things at this point looked great!
Unfortunately my log File is still growing even with this 'simple recovery mode'. So how do I stop this craziness from occurring?
I even unchecked the box 'allow autogrowth' on the database! However, I eventually get errors when creating records in the system because it complains about running out of room in the log file.
Code:
The transaction log for database 'ReportingDB' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases
there is a sql.txt file in my c: which grows very fast when i start sqlagent...it keeps occupying the free space in the drive..can anyone please help?

I am running Microsoft SQL 2005 Express.
The transaction log of the main database has gotten huge and I just noticed it because the disk is nearly out of free disk space.
The database data file is 46MB and the transaction log is 210GB. This happended because autogrowth was on, and no limit was set I suppose.
So my goal is to knock this thing down to size, and set the max size of the transaction file to like 5GB.
I CANNOT do a backup of the transaction log because I do not have enough free space for such an operation. I tried doing:
DUMP TRANSACTION dbName
No luck, got the following error: Backup or restore requires at least one backup device.
Can I just stop the service and manually DELETE the transaction log file?
Thanks for the help.
Hello, we are running Microsoft SQL 2005 Express edition (9.0.32).
Recently I just noticed that the database log file of our main database is HUGE. The database data file is only 50MB and the log file is 210GB.
Any idea what is causing this? Seems to be getting bigger with time, in the last 7 days seems to have grown by 100GB. I noticed the following settings under the database:
Autogrowth: By 15 percent, unrestricted growth
Does that seem right? Thanks.
Dear All,
I am using Append to media backup option in 2000 Version. The size of backup is growing. how can I best create the maintenace plan to clear the history or clear the old files in BACKUP (.bak) file but still be able to restore point in time from same physical file. I
Is there any side effect of doing that.
Thanks,
Hello,
I have got another annoying problem. The MDF file size on one of the machines is growing really fast. We zip the mdf/ldf files every day from all the machines in the dataentry dept. On this particular machine, the mdf file size is growing by about 1GB per day. However, when the file is zipped, the zipped file size comes closer to the zipped files from the other machines.
I have tried doing this:
http://www.sql-server-performance.com/lost_data_sql_server.asp
on it as well, but didn't solve my problem.
Any ideas as to what it might be? and how to solve this problem?
Thanks in Advance.

I'm having a problem. When I use the SQL query to make a backup of the database, it worked fine. But everytime I use it, the backed-up file's size kept growing in size. Say I have the file, test.bak whose filesize is 450 MB then I run a new backup to overwrite the existing test.bak file, it just end up as 900 MB. If I run it again, it become 1350 MB and so on.
Is there a way to prevent that from happening?
I have a Problem like the Following ..
On 24th my Mdf size was 10GB,when i checked now the Mdf size was increased suddenly to 30GB.
solution to decrease the Size and as well as where can i check the reasons behind that..
I have an 19 gig database that somehow has a 100gig log file. The DB MUST BE in full recovery mode, I backup the transaction logs EVERY hour and shrink nightly. but for some reason my logfile WILL NOT SHRINK.
HELP,
I've used both the DBCC Shrinkfile (xxxxxx) and DBCC ShrinkDatabase (xxxxx) and these don't seem to work. I Have No current backup, I have Not capacity for addtional 100 gig worth of backup drive or off-site tape.
Hi there,I have a data manipulation process written in a Nested Stored procedurethat have four levels deeper. When I run these individual proceduresindividually they all seems to be fine. Where as when I run them alltogether as Nested proces (calling one in another as sub-procedures) Logfile is growing pretty bad like 25 to 30GB.. and finally getting kickedafter running disk space. This process is running around 3hrs on a SQLserever Standard Box having dual processer and 2gb ram.This procedures have bunch of bulk updates and at least one cursor ineacch procedure that gets looped through.I was wondering if anybody experienced this situation or have any clueas to why is this happening and how to resolve this?I am in a pretty bad shape to deliver this product and in need of urgenthelp.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated..Thanks in advance*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I am using SQL server 2012 with Always On High Availability feature. I am not able to set the recovery mode from Full to Simple as it gives me message that mirroring is running on both server.
In my case to reduce the log file what I need to do.
I upgraded from SQL 6.5 to SQL 7 last month, and so far, everything's
been going fine.
However, I'm not using my old SQL 6.5 backup scripts, which, when the
backup was done, would dump the transaction log with TRUNCATE_ONLY, shrinking
the log size.
My SQL 7 server is set up with a Maintenance Plan which does everything,
including backup, but the log file seems to be growing and growing. I'm
up to 4.5 gigs now, for a database with a data file of 3.5 gigs.
How do I "dump transaction with TRUNCATE_ONLY" on a SQL 7 database?
Thanks,

I have merge replication setup up for 6 SQLCE Subscribers.
I have noticed that the MSmerge_tombstone table is growing
at a fast rate regardless of any changes to the data in
the database. It seems to be consistantly adding 50 rows
of data to the table every 2 minutes. As the table grows
it causes the SQLCE subscirbers to fail with the following
message:
ERROR: -2147467259
SQL Server Reconciler failed: Run
ERROR: -2147200925
: Failed to enumerate changes in the filtered
articles.
ERROR: 0
: {call sp_MSsetupbelongs
(?,?,?,?,?,0,?,?,1,?,?,?,?,?,?)}
ERROR: 0
: The merge process timed out while executing a
query. Reconfigure the QueryTimeout parameter and retry
the operation.
I'm sure that this is due to the size of the
MSmerge_tombstone.
Should the MSmerge_tombstone table grow at this rate?
36,000 rows every 24hrs!
I understand there is the sp_mergecleanupmetadata Stored
procedure but if i use this does that mean that because i
have to reinitialise all the subscribers, they are going
to have to pull down the whole subscription again.
I have since Changed a settings to make subscription
expiration date to 8 days instead of never expires but
we're still getting 50 rows added every 2 minutes
SQL SERVER 2000 SP3
Hope someone can shed some light on this for me.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I have a serious problem:
I created 1 database with 2 file group : 1 primary and 1 index.
- Primary file group includes 1 data file (*.mdf): store all tables
- Index file group includes 1 index file (*.ndf): store all indexes
Most of indexes are non-cluster indexes
After a short time using, data file is 2GB but index file is 12 GB.
I do not know what problem happened in my database.
I have some questions:
1/ How so I reduce size of index file ?
2/ How to know what is stored in index file?
3/ How to trace all impact to index file?
4/ How to limit size growing of index file?
Thanks in advanced

Hi!!
I have a report that is exported to a PDF file... Is possible to get an index in the beginning of the file?? I have the page number at the bottom of each page but i would need an index...
Thx in advance!!
I have a requirement for moving all the non-clustered indexes to a new file group. Does anyone have a script for this?
Thanks.

I want to move index file(69 gb) to different location.Right now data and index files are on the same drive(e), I am trying to move index files from e drive to f drive, so I will get 69 gb free on e drive . Can anyone please advise me what precautions I should take and advise best practice.
Thanks in advance
I have a filetable and use a statement like
SELECT [name],file_stream
FROM dbo.Inkoopfacturen
WHERE FREETEXT(file_stream, 'Factuur');
It will return the text found in a .pptx but not in a pdf. There are no errors in the FT-log. It tells me that the FT-index is succesfully build.
I have downloaded the iFilter for Adobe (installed it in a folder with a short name), set the temp variable to the bin folder of the installation.
I've executed the following queries:
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'update_languages';
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'load_os_resources', 1;
EXEC sp_fulltext_service 'restart_all_fdhosts';
Exec sp_fulltext_service 'verify_signature', 0
When I run the following statement, it'll show pdf in the resultset.
SELECT * FROM sys.fulltext_document_types order by document_type
Still, content is not found.
Can anyone help me to recreate the .NDF file if it was lost and not restorable? I have a stored procedure written that will then help me rebuild all indexes on all tables, but I can't seem to figure out how to create the index file again so I can run it. I have tried index files from other databases to no avail. There is no backup to go to.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI trying to update my Aggregation Design for a partition using BIDS Helper. Â The current aggregation design contains about 60 aggregations and the new aggregation I am trying to add is across 5 dimension attributes, the product of which is about 500,000 unique values.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI wonder if anyone could explain why when monitoring the transaction log size it doesn't appear to be growing! I'm using the following code to test image data types with logging.. I've got 'Truncate log on Checkpoint' switched off and 'Select into Bulk copy' also switched off.
Running the following code I would expect to see the transaction log grow and grow and grow... Monitoring it using perfmon indicates that it isn't in fact logging...

Hello,
Does 7.0 store db Growth rate information?
I am looking for information that tells me how fast a db is growing in MB and or percentages over a given period of time, ie weekly, monthly, yearly etc. Either in real numbers or estimates. Does 7.0 already store something like this or do I need to create some code for this?
Or does someone have something like this already coded that they would be willing to share?
Thank you in advance.

In SQL Server 7.0 sp1 (NT 4.0 sp5) I have a server that
has a tempdb database that continues to grow. This server
contains the database for SMS. Over the weekend, the tempdb
had grown so much that it filled up the drive (37GB). I have
shrunk it down to a much more reasonable size and put a limit
on how large it can grow. I'm noticing today that it is
beginning to grow again. Is there a way I can look at the
information that is in tempdb right now? I have to think
that there are open transactions for some reason that can't
commit. I know that tempdb gets cleared out when SQL Server
is restarted, but I can't be restarting it this often.
On Microsoft's website, I did find an article about SMS Y2K
queries using large amounts of Tempdb and failing to complete.
The solution they have in this article Q234912 is to install
SMS sp1 which is already installed.
I haven't been able to find any other useful information yet
on this problem. I would appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks!

Greetings,
My database has a situation where my transaction log is growing out of control. However I have not been able to figure out where any memory leaks are occuring.
Is there a way to monitor the database in order to find out at when the tlog is growing. Or even better, what sql is being executed that is causing this unreasonable tlog growth?
Thanks a million,
Roger
Hi,
I'm getting this SQL server log...
The log file for database 'P5_Nextel' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space
What i'm doing is, i just resizing the space allocated, but the problem is my disk is now out of space. How can i prevent this kind of problem without adding a new disk? Is there any other way?
Please advise.
Thanks!
