When I backup a my transaction log and then run DBCC SQLPERF(logspace) the log shows 12% space used. The backup was run at night long after any transactions had been executed so there should be no active transactions. In SQL 6.5 you could run DBCC CHECKTABLE(syslogs) to clear up the usage inaccuracy is there a similar command in 7.0 to fix the space usage inaccuracy?

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.

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

Somebody know how to reduce the space allocated for the transaction log space for my SQL_DB ?
3700 MB allocated but only 100 MB used and 3600 MB are free !
Transaction log properties :
Automatically grow file are filled
file growth by percent = 5%
maximum file size - restrict filegrowth = 3700 MB (we can't reduce it !)
Thank you for your precious help !

hi thank you for this solution Hugo (dutch?) and it's very handy, thankyou but my issue is that we created dozens of views with my function.This functions returns an integer of a date. This function has to give alowerlimit and higherlimit back when dates are out of Calendar range.But i want to read this from the Calendartable ONCE and store it in aglobal variable somewhere in SQL Server. I DON'T want to referencetables in my function. SO read once the lower- and upperlimit and usethis variable/property for referencing in my function!!GreetzHennie*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Hi....Does anyone know if there is a similar command to SQL2K's DBCC ERRORLOG.
I'm currently writing a preventative maintenance script and want to force archiving of errorlogs. Any help greatly appreciated.
It's been some time since I've written any SQL so I apologize if the answer to my question is obvious.
In pseudo-code here's what I want to do:
delete from table-1 all rows where the table-1.id = table-2.id and table-1.text = ""
Thanks in advance.

I would like to clear the logfile. Could anybody tell me how to do this?
What I would like most would be to run SQL-Server without any log-file (while development). But I suppose that this is not possible.

I'm writing a web application that saves data to a Microsoft SQL database. As I build my application, I continually dirty my database with test data and refine my data schema. Is there a tool that can quickly remove all of the data from 4 of my 5 tables? Right now I'm using MS SQL Server Management Studio Express to open each table and manually deleting the rows of data and it's a pain in the ass. Playing around with the Management Express, I was able to generate a create SQL script (I'm afraid to test it though) that looks like it will rebuild my table. The problem is, one of my tables is a list (index?) of types...and I'd need that data saved
ebuilt each time...but I cannot figure out how to tell SQL that the rows in this table needs to be rebuilt (and is not really data per say).How do you guys "clear" or reset your database during development?-=STZ=-
I have an application that allows users to "reserve" a certain time and location for practice sessions. I want them to look at a web form that shows which times are available and then allows them to select an open slot and then submit this form with some personal information. My problem is that as soon as they select an open slot, other users should see that this slot is no longer available. On the other hand, if someone selects an open slot and then takes too long to type in their personal information, I want it somehow to kick them out and re-open this slot back up.
I know that I can create a field called 'status' in my database that gets turn to something like 'pending' as soon as the first user clicks on an open slot, but how would I turn this field back to the 'open' state if the user took too long to enter their data?
Any help would be surely appreciated.
