May 28, 2008Hey all --
Does anyone know if a sprocs parameter has a size limit? For example if you're passing in a XML document to a sproc - could that call fail based upon the size of the XML document? Consider memory a non-issue.
ErrorLog Size Limit
Sep 6, 2006Hi.
I have a service on a server which contains Sql Server Express.
this service adds documents to the database to allow full text search features.
From some reason, the index crashes and than it writes to the ErrorLog file, the errorlog jumps to 20GB(!) causing the server to crash.
How can :
1. limit the size of the error log.
2. find out why the log jumps to this size (I can't open the error log file ofcourse...)
Thanks!
Is There A Size Limit To This Cause Im Getting An Error That I Cant Figure Out
Mar 14, 2006I create an sql string as so, add parameters to it and execute it:
string cmdstr = "INSERT INTO locations(id1, id2, companyname, address, city, province, postalcode, phonenumber, faxnumber, contact, contactemail) VALUES (@id1,@id2,@companyname,@address,@city,@province,@postalcode,@phonenumber,@faxnumber,@contact,@contactemail)";
SqlCommand sqlCmd = GetCommandSQL(cmdstr);
sqlCmd.CommandTimeout = TimeOut;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@id1", SqlDbType.Int).Value = itID;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@id2", SqlDbType.Int).Value = Convert.ToInt32(ddlDPCLocation.SelectedValue);
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@companyname", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbCompanyName")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@address", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbAddress")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@city", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbCity")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@province", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbProvince")).Text;

sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@contactemail", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbContactEmail")).Text;
sqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
for testing purposes ive added the max text in each textbox area, so each textbox has 50 characters or so
and i get an error message as follows, when executing the query:

SqlCeReplication.HostName Size Limit Fix?
Jul 17, 2006We are attempting to improve our merge replication process between our SQL Server 2005 server and SqlCe Mobile 3 client by switching to Data Partitions. We are using IIS as a proxy to SQL Server 2005 running on a different box using a DOMAIN account.
We've setup row filters to use HOST_NAME() and have set the option "Automatically define a partition and generate a snapshot if needed when a new Subscriber tries to synchronize" to true in the Data Partitions options under the publication's properties in SQL server management studio.
If I use a .HostName value of "1234", everything works fine. A subdirectory is created under a our publication's folder in the shared replication directory that relates to the host_name. Data is copied to the device and can be observed through query analyzer that the data is in fact filtered properly.
However, when using a .HostName based on the GetDeviceUniqueID (which results in '3D321F7212B2AD2CC824954662B9023441BB2D20'), replication works sometimes and sometimes fails with "The merge process was unable to deliver the snapshot to the Subscriber. If using Web synchronization, the merge process may have ben unable to create or write to the message file. [etc]". The final HRESULT is 80045017.
While this error indicates a permission problem, there were no permission problems when creating the "1234" partition. In researching the problem, I ran across KB905395 which states:
Limitations on the HostName property and the Subscriber-requested snapshotIf you try to initialize a SQL Server Mobile Edition subscription by using a filtered HostName property, initialization fails. This problem occurs when the value that is supplied for the HostName
property contains more than 12 characters. To work around this problem,
disable Subscriber-requested snapshot delivery at the Publisher. You
can also use a value for the HostName property that contains fewer than 12 characters.
====
This seems to be consistent with what we've observed (which actually led to the "1234" test). Does anyone know if a fix for this exists? Has anyone else run across this issue? I saw a previous post from March that did, but never got resolved. However, the KB article above was posted in March - hmmm...
This is an existing application and filtering based on the device's id is ingrained in the application. Changing it now would be large undertaking.

At The End Of My Rope! Sql 6.5 On NT Type Size 255 Char Limit
Mar 27, 1999I am so frustrated, I have upsized a data base from access to sql 6.5 and now had to clip data to fit into a 255 field? I have been looking for weeks to find a solution for this.
I am writing a discussion board very much like this one and need the message text to hold more than 255 chars. I have tried to create a table with a blob and text, The text will not allow me to specify the size when creating from a script (ASP) using create table. If I dont specify a size, it creates it as 16?
Been working on this for several weeks and cannot locate anyone that can answer this question, I want to create a column that will hold more than 255 chars.
IS there something in Sql 6.5 that I need to set to allow more than 255 on a text field? What am I doing wrong?
Please respond. Thank you.
Mike

SQL Server 2000 Standard .. DB Size Limit
Dec 29, 2003Hi all.
On the MS website (at this URL: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/evaluation/overview/default.asp) it says that the Standard edition of SQL Server 2000 has a database size limit of 1,048,516 terabytes.
Talking to a friend, he tells me this is not true, and that it has a database size limit of 12gb.
Is Microsofts site incorrect, or is my friend lost?
Cheers! :-)
File Size Limit / Offline Cache
Sep 26, 2006Hi,
I have 2 questions:
Is there any way of getting around the 128MB file size limit when creating and adding SSEv databases to VS2005? Currently I get the following error when trying to connect to a database:"The database file is larger than the configured maximum database size. This setting takes effect on the first concurrent database connection only...". This after I altered the app.config file to "...Max Database Size=600;..."
Have anyone tried to use SSEv to cache data with the use of the Smart Application Offline Building Block? Is there a provider I can use for doing this?
Thanks in advance!
Limit File Size Of Subscription Reports
Mar 27, 2008
I have a report subscription this is generating PDF files. The end user of the PDF files requires these files to be below a certain threshold in file size. Is there any way to set up a subscription to generate files that are under the threshold size?
If I knew approximately how many records would generate a report below the threshold, is there a way to generate several reports all of which are below the threshold?
Thanks.
Exceeding SQL 2005 Express' 4GB Databse Size Limit...
Sep 5, 2006Okay, I know the maximum size limit on a database in SQL 2005 Express is 4GB, but what happens when you exceed that limit? I can't seem to find much info on that topic. What kind of error return would you get from a stored procedure attempting to do an insert that will exceed the 4GB limitation? Also what factors go into that maximum size, factors that might not be completely obvious of course?

Size Limit On CLR Extension User Defined Types
Jun 10, 2006
Why is there a limit of 8000 bytes on CLR Extension user defined types in SQl Server 2005?
We now have varchar(max), varbinary(max) and XML data types that are unlimited in size, byt UDT's are limited to 8000 bytes!.
This limitation is ruining a key project of mine!
Any ideas that MS may lift this limit?

Size Limit For Dataset Query In Report Designer
Sep 16, 2007I was working on the SSRS Report Designer and was trying to copy and paste a huge SQL query from SQL Management Studio (like I always do) to the dataset window.
This method usually works, but for this extremely long SQL query with nested SELECTs and JOINs, it seems as though the Report Designer dataset query window limits the number of characters including carriage returns I can input in it.
When I paste my SQL query from SQL Management Studio, it seems to paste only three quarters of the query, and thereafter I am not able to manually key in anything else or even make a line feed in the dataset query window.
Is there a limit to the number of characters I can key in here ? If so, is there any workarounds or configurations I can try ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedVERY Wide Rows, 8060 Bytes Row Size Limit && SPARSE Columns
Apr 23, 2008Hi,
I€™m trying to create a VERY wide table, with 1,000 columns of type varchar(MAX), nullable.
The CREATE TABLE statement (both in SQL 2005 & 2008), gives the following warning:
Warning: The table "WIDE_TABLE" has been created, but its maximum row size exceeds the allowed maximum of 8060 bytes. INSERT or UPDATE to this table will fail if the resulting row exceeds the size limit.
When I insert data into the table, filling all columns with small, 10-byte string values, I get the following error:
Msg 50000, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_pivot, Line 118
Cannot create a row of size 15034 which is greater than the allowable maximum of 8060.
I€™d like to verify this observation: each row is created with 2000 bytes of offset data (2 byte * 1000 columns), 125 bytes for null bitmap (1000 columns / 8 bits) and some more €śwasted€? row information. This leaves less than 6K for the data itself. But since not all columns can fit within the page, forwarding pointers in the row need to be created, 24 byte per column, which very quickly add up to more than 8K, thus the error. So the 8K limit is met for much less columns than the max 1024 column restriction.
Furthermore, in SQL 2008, SPARSE columns will not solve the problem (maybe save some €śmetadata€? space in case the columns are null, but if not, I€™m with the same problem again, or even worse, since now each value takes more storage space. The max 30,000 columns in 2008 is only for cases where the column values are really sparse€¦
Is this the right observation? if so, is there a workaround besides splitting to multiple tables?
Thanks,
Aviv.
Limit On SSIS String Variable Size, Trying To Get Big Xml File Into Xml Data Field
Nov 28, 2007I have a SSIS package that opens an xml file, puts the contents into a string, then runs a stored procedure that dumps it into an xml column in a table. One of the xml files is huge. Putting the data into a ssis string causes an error. The length of the string variable is 58,231,886. The file will only get bigger.
How else can I get this data into a SQL Server XML field.

Aug 7, 1998I have a fairly complex set of statistical views and when I try to combine them together into one "master" view, I get the following error:
Msg 4408, Level 19, State 1
The query and the views in it exceed the limit of 16 tables.
I have not been able to find anything in books online or the kb addressing this issue. Is there a way to increase this limit? The first question I had of myself is, "Is there a way to make the view and underlying views more efficient?" But I have been coding sql for years now and I do not think there is much of a way to reduce the number of tables. It is just a darn complex query!
Any help beyond "simplify your sql statement" would be of great help.

Upper Limit For Rows In A Table?
Jul 20, 2007There may/may not be an upper limit for the number of rows in a table, but is there any performance-related limit?
I'm designing a database that stores results that have been acquired from a number of devices. Each device provides a set of data measurements every 10 minutes. Therefore each year a device will produce 52000 sets of results.
If I design a table to store a row for each set of measurements from a device (PK is based on the timestamp and the deviceID), and if there are 100 devices recording for 5 years, there will be 52000x100x5 rows. Would I get a performance increase by separating this data into one table per year? Perhaps the year could be appended to the table name to identify the particular tables.
A secondary issue is some devices can also be configured to produce a different set of measurements every 10 seconds. In this case there will be hundreds of millions of rows over a 5 year period. Therefore I am considering bulking the results into an array for a 10 minute period, and storing this array as a blob each 10 minutes. Is this going to be faster or slower than having hundreds of millions of rows?
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Mark.

)
insert into table_1 ( mychar1, mychar2)

I just noticed that using  Replicate ('a', 50000) doesn't cause an issue either. I'll be reviewing the replicate documentation too.
