This database is running on SQL sever 6.5.
We are running an home-created stored procedure that includes several rounds of dropping and recreating indexes in a few tables, i.e., after dropping indexes, the tables are truncated, then a lot of records will be inserted into the table, and the indexes are recreated.
we are getting the following error in turns:
1. ODBC error: Microsoft] ODBC SQL Server Driver] SQL Server]Can't
allocate space for object '-841' in database 'tempdb' because the
'system' segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs,
dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE...
We then used EM to expand the tempdb, when reran the procedure, we got the following message:
2. ODBC error: Microsoft] ODBC SQL Server Driver] SQL Server] Cannot
drop the index 'dbo.ItemBalamce_CCB_Id',because it doesn't exist in the
system catalogs.
However, when I check the mentioned index, it is certainly there.
How could this happen?
After several rounds of running theis procedure, these two error messages appeared to occur alternatively.
If you have an answer or suggestion, please let me know ASAP.
Many thanks.
What will the net result be if I limit the tempdb size, and it grows to it's limit? Will it crash my server? Will it shutdown SQL? I will most likely be moving it to another drive, but until then I can't have it consuming my entire drive like it did 2 days ago! Please Advise. - Rob
I'm trying to add space to tempdb. I created a new device for 100megs and then I double clicked on tempdb db and then clicked on 'Expand'. I selected this new device in the data device - pull down and then did a 'Expand now'. After it successfully completed I went back and did a recalculate to find that the log space on tempdb has been increased and not the data space. I tried this twice with the same results.
Could anyone please tell me what's happening and how I can increase the data space on tempdb.
I received an alert from our alerting system that log space for tempdb is used over 60%.
My question is what options do I have to troubleshoot and fix it? If it would be a regular user database, I would check for log_reuse_wait_desc in sys.databases, run another log backup, and maybe some other things. But what I can do with tempdb?
We have a table with 48 million rows. The table should only be approximately 28 bytes long for each row. This table is clustered primary key consisting of an integer key and a calculated float value. We have found that the size of the table is doubled before statistics are gathered. There is a foreign key that references the primary on another table. There are no other indexes. Sp_spaceused shows the size changes in the data portion. I had worked on another DBMS system that had no benefit on collecting statistics on a clustered value. Is this not correct for SQL Server? Does anyone have an explaination for the size change?
My tempdb is eating 1.27 gb of space of my d dive, and now only 10 mb is left in d drive . for this i stoped and started sqlserver but it didnt release much of space.Pls let me know is there any other way so that i can release some space from my tempdb.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.SORT temporary run storage: '...' in database 'tempdb' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup."
The destination is sql 2000. The package does not create any large temp tables.
apart from setting MaxInsertCommitSize property on the destination in Data Flow, is there anything else I could do?
I am using SQL2005 SP1 and I have a 4Gb Tempdb (datafile) with virtually nothing in it.
I am unable to release the free space to the operating system. I have used dbcc shrinkfile...truncateonly but this has had no effect.
There is no error message and there are no open transactions, I have attempted to drop the data file by transferring to a new file but I can't because it the primary file...
hi all i am under impression that indexes also stored seperately from data and need extra space . when we check in EM Table Info, size over there is just data size or sum of data and indexes. if it is just for data then is there is any space used to store indexes and that space is counted in space used by data base or else where.............. please clear my confusion.............. i am quite new in administartion of SQL Server
I was trying to find out how much space is available in a 2000 db for allocation to tables and indexes. I am trying to find the amount of space that has to be used-up before another allocation is automatically made to the database. I looked at sp_spaceused but BOL is rather sketchy at defining what the numbers it returns really mean. Is the "unallocated space" the value I am looking for?
Hi all, When I am rebuilding the indexes on the tables, I am getting lot of free space( unallocated) on the database.
Before rebuilding the indexes , the size of the database = 385 Gb After rebuilding the indexes, the size jumps to = 572 Gb (i.e.) This means 187 Gb of unallocated space .
The Command use to rebuild indexes is: USE [databasename] GO ALTER INDEX [PK_index] ON [dbo].[tablename] REBUILD WITH ( PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = ON, ONLINE = OFF ) GO
So, every time we rebuild indexes, we have to shrink the database (or) Is there anything else ,I should be doing. Thanks.
does anyone know if tempdb can be physically moved to a different partition on a disk drive on SQL Server 7.0? Since it can't be backed up I'm hesitant to use the sp_detach/sp_attach procedure because I don't want to crash it. If nothing else is available, I can attempt moving it this way at the end of the day and then just reboot to get tempdb back up again if the server fails, but I'd really appreciate a suggestion from someone who has more know-how than I do about system table operations. Thanks again
In on of the server tempdb is not releasing the reserved space after completion of data loads,as of now 99% of free space available in data file,we tried to shrink the datafile ,and space has not been released.
I have a tempdb split into 4 files (5 if you include the log).
Autogrowth is disabled on the mdf/ndf files so that they can be used round robin (1 file per logical CPU).
Is there a way to be alerted when there is x% of free space left?
I know hwo to check the free space via t-sql but want to be able to be alerted. I could run a sql job that reports the free space and send a database mail message if under x% but wondered if there was a built in (or better) method?
has anyone met with this before?the setting is SQL2K with SP3 on a 2 node active-active W2K3 cluster.on one of the machine, it occasionally prompts for the following error:"The log file for database "tempdb" is full. Back up the transactionlog for the database to free up some log space."the problem is, at the time of error, the tempdb tx log is only 200MBand there are over 50G disk space available.settings of tempdb:-- 10% autogrow, unlimited max size-- auto shrink off-- data file around 1GThanks.
Hi,The tempdb file on one of our servers grew very large and used allavailable disk space. This is SQL Server 2000 SP4. I have installedhotfix version 8.00.2187. I opened a profiler trace but can't still getto the root of the problem. Any help will be appreciated.Egbon*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
today I've put in production a big database accessed by 200 concurrent users, this database has READ_COMMITTED_SNAPHOT set to ON.I know that RCSI set to ON is very aggressive on tempDB so I'm monitoring it.I've noticed that the Transaction log space usage (%) on TempDB is slowly but ever increasing, I mean in the last 24 hours I've started from a 99% space free, now we are 37% space free...is it normal? TempDB log is 35GB in size.
I am using SQL Server 2008 (RTM) Standard Edition.
In my environment, one of my Database size is 75 gb and I have to create a plan for index rebuild using maintenance plan.But when we rebuild indexes, it requires some space on data and log files of database.how can we calculate disk space requirement for index rebuild process ?
I have scenario where I have process that loades data into SQL server 2012 database by doing some manipulation on data like sorting , aggregation, etc. Once this process is completed it's not free up the Tempdb space. If I restart the database, then it does.
is there any way (apart from shirking) to release space for Tempdb, like writing some post SQL queries to delete/ truncate the data and logs from temp db?
In my environment, there is maintenance plan configured on one of the server and while running DBCC checkdb on a database of size around 200GB, log file usage of tempdb is increasing and causing the maintenance job to fail.
What can I do to make the maintenance job run successfully, size of the tempdb database is only 50GB and recovery model is set to simple. It cannot be increased as the mount point on which it is residing is 50GB.
I'm working to improve performance on a database I've inherited, and there are several thousand indexes. I've got a list of ones which should definitely exist within the database, and I'm looking to strip out all the others and start fresh, though this list is still quite large (1000 or so).
Is there a way I can remove all the indexes that are not in my list without too much trouble? I.e. without having to manually go through them all individually. The list is currently in a csv file.
I'm looking to either automate the removal of indexes not in the list, or possibly to generate the Create statements for the indexes on the list and simply remove all indexes and then run these statements.
As an aside, when trying to list all indexes in the database, I've found various scripts to do this, but found they all seem to produce differing results. What is the best script to list all indexes?
"tempdb is skipped. You cannot run a query that requires tempdb"?
We're running a .Net web application with a SQL Server 2000 backend, and we get the error intermittently. Restarting the SQL Server service seems to fix it, as it causes tempdb to be rebuilt, but this isn't a long term solution. Any direction or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Mike
Hi, I am trying to do this: UPDATE Users SET uniqueurl = replaceAllEmptySpacesInUniqueURL('uniqueurl') What would be the syntax. Any help appreciated. Thanks
I am generating a Report from Sql Data Source in Sql Server 2005 and viewing the Report in Report viewer control of Visual Studio 2005. The data in the Data Source contains string with multiple spaces (for example €œ Test String €œ) but when they get rendered in Report viewer control, multiple spaces gets converted to single space €? Test String €œ.
I tried following solutions 1) Replacing spaces with €œ €? 2) Inserting <pre> tag before the string and </pre> tag after the string (Also tried <Pre> instead of <pre>)
But in all the cases result is same. The Report Viewer control is showing €œ €? instead of space and €œ<Pre>€? tag instead of preserving spaces.
Please provide me a solution so that spaces can be preserved in Report Viewer.
I am using the below script to get space alerts  and now i am interested in sending alerts  if for any drive space available is Less than 10% or 15%.. how to convert beelow code to find in %Â
Hi.. I was doing a good maintenance on my DB and my trans log LDF keep growing until 30GB but my DB data file MDF is only 2GB. I found the two following method to reduce my log size.
Method 1: I used veritas to backup log file with truncate Method 2: I used the shrink database option in Enterprises manager to shrink it (file chosen=log , use default option)
After doing that, I found my LDF log file is still about the same size=27GB but when I see clearly, from the shrink database windows, the log spaced used reduced to only 100MB, the allocation log space is still 27GB. Why? How to make the LDF smaller to be the around the same size as the space used 100MB?
This is driving me bananas. Can't find any info on this anywhere....SQL 2000 seems to replace double space with a single space when I seta varchar field to " " (2spaces), it only stores " " (1space). Whyon earth would microsoft do this? If I save 2 spaces - I WANT TO SEE2 SPACES!!!!Can anyone help? Is this a database setting? Is this due to usingvarchar?Any help appreciated.Colin Hale
So I'm reading http://www.sql-server-performance.com/tips/clustered_indexes_p2.aspx and I come across this: When selecting a column to base your clustered index on, try to avoid columns that are frequently updated. Every time that a column used for a clustered index is modified, all of the non-clustered indexes must also be updated, creating additional overhead. [6.5, 7.0, 2000, 2005] Updated 3-5-2004 Does this mean if I have say a table called Item with a clustered index on a column in it called itemaddeddate, and several non-clustered indexes associated with that table, that if a record gets modified and it's itemaddeddate value changes, that ALL my indexes on that table will get rebuilt? Or is it referring to the table structure changing? If so does this "pseudocode" example also cause this to occur: sqlstring="select * from item where itemid=12345" rs.open sqlstring, etc, etc, etc rs.Fields("ItemName")="My New Item Name" rs.Fields("ItemPrice")=1.00 rs.Update Note I didn't explicitly change the value of rs.fields("ItemAddedDate")...does rs.Fields("ItemAddedDate")=rs.Fields("ItemAddedDate") occur implicitly, which would force the rebuild of all the non-clustered indexes?
