LOG DEVICE FULL EVEN AFTER ISSUING DUMP TRANSACTION
Mar 3, 1999
I issued the following statement on my database as my log file showed 100% full.
However after running this command and also running it again after expanding the size
to almost double the value of both my database log and data devices it still shows the log as being 100% full.
DUMP TRANSACTION <database> WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY (and also used the NO_LOG option).
So can anyone tell me whats going wrong here? I should note that I am still able to enter data into the database without
any errors.

Suppose I am appending to my transaction log dump device every half hour,thus adding 48 log dumps per day. How can I purge my transaction dump device to only keep the last 1 week's worth of these logs. I do not wanted to issue an INIT in the command, because this will wipe it completely. I noticed an EXPIREDATE and RETAINDAYS parameter for the DUMP command. Can I use these to selectively purge the backup device or will these allow the device to be wiped clean also?
Thanks in advance,

I'm having trouble doing backups of several databases (on a single server) to one device (a disk file).
I created a script with each DUMP statement and when I run it from the query window, it works
just fine. But when I create a stored procedure out of the same script, I get errors because the
second DUMP statement is trying to access the device that is already being written to by the
first DUMP statement.
If I split them apart into different stored procedures, then they seem to overwrite each other and
I end up with only the last database backed up.
I'm trying to put this into a task and that is why I need to put it into stored procedures.
Is there a synchronous/asynchronous setting or parameter that I should be using? For now, I'm
just dumping each to separate devices, but this is a little sumbersome, since I have four
databases to backup for each day of the week. Which gives me a total of 28 separate
devices.
I'm sure there is a better way of doing this. Does anyone have any suggestions. Thank you in
advance.

When you create a dump device, then add backups with the NOINIT arg, the space taken up on the device grows, is there a way of removing individual backups from the device without (i guess) purging the whole lot by running WITH INIT?
I can get a list of the files by running the RESTORE WITH HEADERONLY, but I can't see how to remove individual ones.

I'm trying to capture the info that gets passed back from the 'load headeronly from logbackup' command in a script that I'm writing. The MS Transact-SQL reference specifies that this info is passed back in a table, a row for each dump on the given dump device. I'm looking for the SQL construct that will allow me to capture this info as variables in my script for processing. I've tried to create a temp table that mirrors the info returned and insert into this table by executing the load command but syntactically it is not correct(with that syntax the compiler assumes that the load command is a stored procedure and can't locate it) Specifically, I'm trying to capture info from the dump transaction with no_truncate command.
It appears the dump info does not go the the msdb..sysbackuphistory table when the no_truncate option is used. This dump info can only be obtained thru the load headeronly command. Any thoughts on how to code the sql to capture this info?

Hi,
I need to dump transaction log every night. Before I do that I'd like to check those open transactions and kill the ones not part of sa or SQL server dba's activity. How can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello:
I am working with an application in mssql 65.5, with sp4.
I have the database option 'truncatelog on checkpoint' set, there are no transaction log dumps taken at this time.
We plan now that y2k is over to upgrade to sp 5a. I am not not sure the new configuration
parameter 'logLRU buffers'(I don't have the sp5a readme text with me now) in our situation.
Here is our situtation with the transaction logs: The log, mostly with month-end high actvity,
fills up when long-running, high activity transactions are run.
The log gets to 100% sometimes rather quickly and sometimes near that or above 80%easily.
We check with dbcc open tran and there are no current transaction running. We expand the log just a little.
But it still shows 100@ used when we run dbcc sqlperf (logspace).
Here's the rub: when we try to dump the log, with wither or both back-to-back: dump tran abcdb
with truncate_only and then dump tran with no_log still nothing happens.
Sometimes we stop and start the mssql server and that helps but not always and sometimes when
we are really desperate we stop/start the NT server box(at off hours). Sometimes, the transaction log
reduces to nearly 0% used when we run dbcc sqlperf (logspace) and sometimes not. So we run dump tran
a couple of more times. We wait for several minutes usually to if the dump tan started and if it shows up
under EM under curent activity
This is becoming very frustrating and dangerous as well.
1) has any one had similar experiences with mssql 6.5 sp4?
2) Can anyone advise what we can do to more easily to dump the transaction log? Are we doing
any thing really wrong?
3) Would upgrading to sp 5a really help or should we just start planning upgrading to mssql 7.0?
Any suggestiosn you can furnish will be helpful. Thanks.

I have a transaction log that is 80% full and will not dump. I have used the "dump transaction dbname with no_log" command. It return the usual "This command did not return data, and it did not return any rows". However, this didn't do anything. The transaction log is still full. I don't want to restart the server if I don't have to. Any ideas?

is there any way to monitor the space utilisation of log space and if it crosses 60% or above, dump the transaction log, effectively....
i tried some of the things, given below.
1. script to monitor the space used of log using dbcc sqlperf(logspace) and check if crosses 60 % and dump the transaction into disk file and execute this script through a schedule task running every minute.
2. same result thro using sql server performance monitor.

Hi, I am trying to set up an auto dump for Transaction log using performance monitor ( Log space used(%) )... Although I followed the steps, it did not work... can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong ?
1. create an error # using Server/message/New etc...
2. Defined sql exec alert : right click sql exective/manage alerts/operators..
3. Defined performance monitor using add to alert and set Alert if radio botton to over %80.and Run_Program on Alert: c:mssqlinnE 5555 /T /S servername
then I inset 2000 rows is a table I still get :
Msg 1105, Level 17, State 1
Can't allocate space for object 'publishers' in database 'test' because the 'default' segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of the segment.
I thought what I did is the right thing to do, but it seems that I am doing something wrong, Please help.
Thanks

I am doing a differential backup every night with t-log backups every 15 mins. The differential backup occurs at 3:00a and is about 300 MB. The very next t-log backup at 3:15a is also about 300 MB instead of the usual 1 - 2 MB. Why is this and how can I avoid it? Is this just how SQL Server works? Do I have to do a full backup every night instead? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,
I have two databases, Database1 and Database2 both have same set of tables.
Database1 has a saperate Log file, i.e. it uses different Device for its Logs.
There are two processes running using this database,
Process 1 will keep on dumping records in to database1. Here it uses Rollback and commit operations.
Process2 will take a backup of Database1 after every minute to Datavase2.
What is hapening is, after some time later, if i check the Space availabe for data then Database1 will have used 5 to 10 times more space that database2.
Can any body tell me why this is hapening. because for the same data both databases uses different size of space.
ThanX

Hi
I need to ask a realy dumb question.
I have a database whereby both the devices for the tran log & the database
are full.
Does SQL 6.5 grab all the space so the devices appear to be full, or does full mean full ( and no further transactions are possible? )
Any help would be great
Thanks.

Are there any problems or issues with backing up a transaction log to a physical file with the ".bak" extension? We are having some trouble with are hourly trans log backups and I was wondering if this could be part of the problem. Tom.

Having a lot of problems with backup device creating backups with a new transaction log for each day. This is causing the backups to grow way to fast. Seems to be random with our clients. Created new device backups but getting same problem. A manual backup selecting overwrite all existing backup sets will fix it. But starts the cycle all over again.

Hi,
Following error appears in the SQL Server error log when I execute BACKUP Log db with truncate_only using a stored procedure. The stored proc I am using is as follows:
CREATE procedure spm_tranlog as
declare @DBName as Varchar(120)
select @DBName = DB_name()
dump transaction @DBName with truncate_only
GO
There are data import processes running in the night, before starting the processes we are executing spm_tranlog procedure to clear the transaction logs. The following error appears in log after executing the spm_tranlog:
€śBACKUP failed to complete the command exec spm_tranlog€?
This always happens after weekly server maintenance tasks. The scheduled maintenance tasks I am running are: Index rebuild, truncate log and shrinking database. There were no other processes running during that time when the spm_tranlog prodecure fail.
The Database size is 40GB, Log size is 80MB.
The database is in the simple recovery model.The database is in the simple recovery model.
I am running SQL Server 2000 (SP4) on windows server 2003.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks,

I am using the lookup transform with the following settings:
Reference table: Use results of an SQL query. The query retrieves the surrogate key and four business key columns from a dimension table which contains a few thousand rows.
Columns: business keys in the incoming data are mapped to the business keys in the reference table, and the surrogate key is looked up from the reference table.
Advanced: Enable memory restriction is OFF (and the other items on the Advanced tab are greyed out).
I assumed that this means that the lookup transform would cache all of the rows in the SQL query, and then perform the lookups against this cache. This is the behaviour that I saw when I was running the package in my local environment in the BIDS debugger.
However, a colleague was doing some profiling on our production database server, and noticed that the lookup transform is instead issuing a single SQL query for each row of input. Our production ETL server has many GBs of free RAM available (way more than enough to cache the contents of the lookup table in memory), and given that memory restriction is disabled, I don't understand why the lookup transform is behaving in this fashion. Does anyone have an explanation for this? I'm probably misunderstanding a key concept here.
Thanks,
Greg

I have a transaction log which is 1 Gb and only has about 40 Mb free. When I run DBCC loginfo I find the first active log dates back to the middle of August. Does any one have any suggestions on the best way to approach this situation. How can I query the transaction log to find out what the old transactions are? I was going to use the detach database, rename log, attach database to shrink the log but don;t want to do this incase there is active data in the log. We are doing hourly log dunps.
Thanks

Hi there,
I'm still fairly new to SQL server and I've just ran into a problem when dropping some tables from my DB as my transaction log has become full. I looked at books online and it basically said to backup the log so it will also truncate the log. However I've ran out of disk space on my data drive so can't take a backup.
Is there a way to just truncate the active log to shrink the size?
Hope you can help??
Thanks

Today, one of our backups failed due to the transaction log being full. I expanded the transaction log and then the backup completed normally. For a short term resolution, I increased the maximum allowed size on our transaction log files.
We are doing a database backup only as follows:
backup database xxxxx to xxxx_data with init
I did find a note stating that the transaction log will eventually become full if doing a transaction log backup only. We do not generate a lot of transactions so I had not seen a need to backup the log during the day. The full database backup is done daily.
My question is, in order to permanently resolve this error do I have to:
- take a transaction log backup as well. Should I take it take right after the full database backup or at some later point.
- do I have to schedule/run the shrink database command.

I was trying to create a table on a Database and it gave me this message:
'tblSuggestion' table - Unable to create table. The transaction log for 'Database' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases
And I don't see the log_reuse_wait_desc column anywhere.
Any ideas?

Hi,
At the start, transaction log size is 1MB. at the middle of the dts it reached to nearly 2 GB. I encountered this error in DTS:
OnError,,,CallerType, CallerChannel, Dealer, DODealer, HotlineType, Model, Reg'l Signal Code, Account, Contact,,,10/22/2007 10:55:43 AM,10/22/2007 10:55:43 AM,-1071636471,0x,SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "The transaction log for database 'DB1' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases".
I visited the sys.database's log_reuse_wait_desc and it is set to checkpoint.
The transaction log keeps getting full in the middle of the dts, not enough to do the 1 round execution of the dts. What to do with this one? Anything that i need to add in my dts to truncate the logs?
