Recently I did an upgrade form SQL 7 to SQL 2000. Everything went smoothly
except there is a little problem with an Optimization job (reorganize data and index pages/remove unused space from database files). The job itself runs
fine. But when I do a transaction log backup, it generates a huge log backup file. I don't remember that there was such a huge-sized transaction log backup file when I ran it on SQL 70. Is SQL 2000 different from SQL 7 on this aspect?
I just peeked at my DNN setup and I found that I have a transaction log about 98 gigs large, compared to a DNN database that is only about 250 megs. Crazy, huh?
Do you happen to know what I need that transaction log for? Can I just delete it or will it break my SQL db? Is there a way that I can keep only maybe a week of transactions in it so it doesn't grow so dang large?
One of my production databases is currently 51 mb. The transaction log is well over 5 gig. I have tried truncating and then shrinking the log through the use of SQL utilities. This does not work! How can I quickly resolve this problem without tampering with the production environment?
I am not a DBA and I run a personal web site that has gotten pretty large. I have never done anything to maintain my sql server, and now my transaction log is 10 Gigs and my data is only like 300 Megs. I am starting to get a memory leak with the sql service. What should I do? Is it bad to have a huge transaction log. I am not familiar with any of this stuff, so someone please point me in the right direction.
Hi all our It Admin is having issues with the backups. He was doing full backups every 4 hours with backupExec, which means thats way too much. But now hes trying to do a simple recovery now, because obviously the transaction logs have not been truncated. Its a big mess, I'm not involved in this part, they handle the backing up and permissions. Transaction logs are huge??
I have inherited a SQL 2000 server, and am therefore an absolute beginner of SQL2000.
I know this has been covered before, but I don't know how to use the KB as I don't know how to run the commands/script. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272318/
I can no longer backup the SQL database because the 'transaction log backup' file is about 17GB. The SQL database is only about 2GB! The partition that it is backed up onto fills up every day.
I want to append the column to the transaction table(60 million records in it.) ..
Our transaction table is being used in production.. but i have very less amount of time ..
Instead of alter table.. (IF we use the alter to take backup of table and do the processing it will take more time). Is there any way to append the column to the transaction table ..
Hi there - can anyone advise on the following issue. We have recently performed some server side tracing on a particular SQL instance over 24hr period. We are now attempting to load these into a database for analysis. Here lies the problem.
When we are loading the profiler trace files (one at a time) into the database the transaction log is growing at an excessive rate. Even though the database is in SIMPLE mode.
We are loading the traces using the command:
INSERT INTO sqlTableToLoad SELECT * FROM ::fn_trace_gettable('MytraceFileName', DEFAULT)
Can anyone advise how we could possibly get round this issue as we're running out of space due to the transaction log.
I've just install SQL Server 2005 and successfully navigated my way through using the Maintenance Plan to backup my databases but can't figure out how to keep my transaction logs from getting huge. Is this controlled by a Maintenace Plan and, if so, what is the preferred setup?
I'm running SQL 2005 SP2 and having a problem with a Database Maintenance task created in SSMS doing transaction log backups of all user databases.
When I look at dbo.sysmaintplan_logdetail I see the message:
Database 'Database1' will not be backed up because it does not have its recovery model set to Full or BulkLogged.
Great - that's what we want! Skip the SIMPLE recovery mode databases. However, the next entry is the following error message:
Executing the query "BACKUP LOG [Database1] TO DISK = N'D:\MSSQL$Windows\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Backup\Database1\Database1_backup_200707231600.trn' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'Database1_backup_20070723160023', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 " failed with the following error: "The statement BACKUP LOG is not allowed while the recovery model is SIMPLE. Use BACKUP DATABASE or change the recovery model using ALTER DATABASE. BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Which says to me it is trying to backup the same database(s) it just said it was skipping!
What's going on? I see that there is a fix to a similar error message with the cumulative update KB936305 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936305) for maintenance cleanup tasks.
During my maintenance plans every night, my transaction log for a 17GB database grows to about 9.5GB. I am running transaction log backups every 2 hours, and my transaction log stays around 300MB during the day. However, every night when the optimization job runs, this explosive growth occurs. I have the optimizations set to Reorganize data and index pages, changing free space to 10%, and remove unused space from database files to 10%, shrinking when they grow beyond 50MB. This database handles cash register operations which are not active during the maintenance plan.
I'm the dba for a large company and have setup many maintenance plans for our sql servers. One of the options I have set is to delete old backups of databases and transaction logs after 2 days. For some reason, the old database backups are being deleted, but the old transaction logs backups are not. I have them being put in the same directory. Anybody have any ideas why this is happening and what if any fix is available?
We are using SQL Server 2005 (SP1). I have created a maintenance plan that backs up up the datebase every night. The problem is that the transaction log is continuing to grow. I have been told that a full backup will automatically truncate and shrink the transaction log. However, this is not happening. How can I truncate and shrink the transaction log after a full backup as part of our maintenance plan. Thank you.
I have a question that I hope someone can clear up for me. I have come across a number of different suggestions on DB maintenance, for example reindexing with the following script:
USE DatabaseName --Enter the name of the database you want to reindex
DECLARE @TableName varchar(255)
DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_type = 'base table'
OPEN TableCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN DBCC DBREINDEX(@TableName,' ',90) FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName END
CLOSE TableCursor
DEALLOCATE TableCursor
My question is, doesn't the maintenance plan have this functionality inherent in it when you create the maintenance jobs to reindex? Is there a benefit to scripting things out vs just using the maintenance plan wizard for this sort of thing and any of the items it covers? I came from an Oracle background where this was a no-brainer but I am a bit confused on the choices with SQL Server.
I have an application (ASP.NET 2.0/SQL Server 2005) which makes heavy use of table adapters for pulling records from SQL. Under heavy load, we get a lot of SQL Server Timeout errors. We have run a trace on SQL Server and it shows that several of the SQL statements being passed into SQL Server, from the Table Adapters, have bad SQL.
For example, here is the SQL in one of the table adapters
SELECT HomeMsgID, messageName, messageHTML, messageText, populationID FROM MyUCR_HomeMessages WHERE (populationID IN (SELECT populationID FROM MyUCR_Population_CPID AS MyUCR_Population_CPID_1 WHERE (CPID = @CPID))) AND (isVisible = 1) AND (showDate <= @showDate) AND (removeDate >= @removeDate)
myUCR_HomePageMsgsTableAdapters.MyUCR_HomeMessagesTableAdapter ta = new myUCR_HomePageMsgsTableAdapters.MyUCR_HomeMessagesTableAdapter(); myUCR_HomePageMsgs.MyUCR_HomeMessagesDataTable dt = new myUCR_HomePageMsgs.MyUCR_HomeMessagesDataTable();
ta.FillByCPID(dt, showDate, removeDate, CPID);
What the SQL trace shows, when it fails, is this (notice the extra single quotes around the showDate, removeDate parameters): E000 exec sp_executesql N'SELECT HomeMsgID, messageName, messageHTML, messageText, populationID FROM MyUCR_HomeMessages WHERE (populationID IN (SELECT populationID FROM MyUCR_Population_CPID AS MyUCR_Population_CPID_1 WHERE (CPID = @CPID))) AND (isVisible = 1) AND (showDate <= @showDate) AND (removeDate >= @removeDate)',N'@showDate datetime,@removeDate datetime,@CPID int',@showDate=''2007-02-05 00:00:00:000'',@removeDate=''2007-02-05 00:00:00:000'',@CPID=3071225 1[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near '2007'.
I recreated the SQL to use a stored procedure, and got a similar error:
I am trying to export data from my local server to the hosting server. However I get errors when executing it:

It took a few minutes of staring at my CLR method (it's actually a ServiceBroker service), trying to figure out why I was getting an exception on something that looked pretty innocuous.
It turned out to be the Console.WriteLine(...) statement. In hindsight, not really much of a surprise . However, for debugging purposes, I'd still like to use Console.WriteLine. Is there a HostProtectionAttribute I can apply that will allow it?

When I attempt to generate scripts via SSMS for several databases on this server (x64 Enterprise Windows 2003 Server SP1), I receive a "severe error" message. I have run DBCC commands of various sorts and backed up and restored but the error persists.
I have read other posts on this forum that seem to be asking about related issues and the response appears to be "talk with support" or "post a bug report". What should I do? Any assistance would be appreciated.

I've a dataset which is filled using a stored procedure in either MSSQL2005 or 2000.
The procedure may return sql-errors (f.ex 208 if a table is not found), but the procedure will anyway return data which shall populate the dataset, independent on 208 errors.
The procedure works fine if running it from f.ex. SqlMgtStudio, and the dataset is filled if the procedure triggers no errors.
However, if the procedure triggers an error like 208, then I get an exception in the application and the dataset is not populated with the data returned by the procedure.
Is there a way of telling the DataSet/SqlDataAdapter to fill the dataset even if the sql-code genererates som errors?

Hello All ...I am attempting to create a program that will run on the PocketPC 2003 environment. I have upgraded Visual Studio to SP1, I have installed SQL Server Compact Edition on my development machine and I have installed SQL Server Compact Edition Tools For Visual Studio on the development machine.I have created a new project Visual Basic - Smart Device - Pocket PC 2003. I have created a form for user input. I build and deploy the form to the Symbol Pocket PC to test - no connection to data and it works.I then add a reference to System.Data.SqlServerCE.dll and rebuild and redeploy the application to the handheld. When I attempt to open the form I receive the following error:psmPocket.exeNotSupportedExceptionSystem.Drawing.Bitmapat System.Resources.ResourceReader.LoadObjectV2() at System.Resources.ResourceReader.LoadObject() at System.Resources.RuntimeResourceSet.GetObject() at System.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject() at System.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject() at pmsPocket.frmSetSOPType.InitializeComponent() at psmPocket.frmSetSOPType..ctor() at System.Reflection.RuntimeContructorInfo.InternalInvoke() at System.Reflection.RuntimeContructorInfo.InternalInvoke() at System.Reflection.ContrcutorInfo.Invoke() at System.Activator.CreateInstance() at MyForms.Create__Instance__() at MyForms.get_frmSetSOPType() at psmPocket.SetSOPType.Main()Now the confusing part is that I haven't changed any of the forms or the code behind the forms, I have simply added the reference to the project.Any idea why adding the reference to System.Data.SqlServerCE.dll would cause the system to start generating these errors?I've checked, the install process has loaded the .NET 2 framework to the handheld. And as indicated at the beginning of this message, the application showed the form prior to my adding the reference.Thoughts?Thanks ...
hi, i'm using the following code to generate the value of a column in a database, where the colums value is dependent upon the multiplication of two other cells in the same row. When I execute the statement, it will work fine for whole numbers, but it does not work correctly for decimal values. All columns are of type varchar(50). An exmple.................It just multiplied 200 by 2.50 and returned 600SqlCommand objCmd2 = new SqlCommand("UPDATE Portfolio SET Current_Worth=Current_Price*Number_Of_Shares WHERE Name_Of_Asset LIKE '%'+@Name_Of_Asset+'%'", objConn);objCmd2.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Name_Of_Asset", DropDownList1.SelectedValue);objConn.Open();objCmd2.ExecuteNonQuery();objConn.Close(); Any ideas?
Can anyone help me figure out how to set up a new table using SSIS with a record field that will generate a unique number? The record number is also the primary key in the table. I did this about a year ago with a bit of help, but once you get the language right and initiate the creation, the text for defining the table is no longer available. I have seen a lot of references for MySQL and MS SQL 2000 and an AUTO_Generate or a UNIQUE ID. None of this works within MS SQL 2005 in SSIS.
I have created a report, and am setting default values for the parameters. Once the default parameters is set, the report automatically generates. Is there a way to make it not automatically generate the report? We are setting the parameters with values that will get the end user the most recent data, but alot of times, they will want to pull older data as well. We don't want them to have to wait for the report to automatically generate before they can change the parameter values
I have a table that stores Terminal ID, Product Name, Cost and Effective Date.

SELECT fmc_terminal, fmc_date = CAST(d. fmc_date AS DATETIME) ,d.fmc_prodlnk, d. fmc_cost INTO #TestTable FROM ( SELECT 1, '2014-12-03 00:04:00.000','A', 2.25 UNION ALL
It's OS / SQL related. I backup to a UNC device, and frequently get a network related error - but not always. And the error is also OS related...
The scene: 64 bit Windows Server 2008 hosts 64 bit SQL 2008 Standard, and devices are created to point to 64 Server 2008 Server B (ServerBSQL_backupsdvc_DB.bak). The database is backed up daily, on a job, and when run the following error is returned:

The file is generated, the same size as a successful backup, but the job terminates unsuccessful.I have tried to delete the devices' file, and then the backup usually succeeds. This may point to a permissions' type error, but the user the job is run under is a domain admin. The destination server is not unavailable during this time, and the network shares also remain active throughout the excersize - although I haven't got a way to "prove" this.
I have a few databases that backup to the UNC described above (different files) that don't fail..My SQL2000 server backs up it's databases to the SQL2008 server, and those backups don't fail with this error.
My research has led me to understand that the 64bit OS tries to buffer the files it receives from another server, and I was wondering if this could be influencing the backups as the destination server is also 64 bit Windows Server 2008.
##20090812## UPDATE
I tried another way to do the backup; with the same results:
Backup database Infovest to disk = ' iscsrv-dcm04 iscsrv-sql01_backupsdvc_Infovest_Z.bak' with INIT,STATS=1
i have a time series table which generates a flag for every 10 mins. the table looks as below. I am trying to write a sql query which gives me the start date and end date of a particular flag, each time the flag starts. i tried to do it using cursors and actually joining the table to itself based on a 10 min offset but couldn't get the required results.
I'm getting this when executing the code below. Going from W2K/SQL2k SP4 to XP/SQL2k SP4 over a dial-up link.

I have a design a SSIS Package for ETL Process. In my package i have to read the data from the tables and then insert into the another table of same structure.
for reading the data i have write the Dynamic TSQL based on some condition and based on that it is using 25 different function to populate the data into different 25 column. Tsql returning correct data and is working fine in Enterprise manager. But in my SSIS package it show me time out ERROR.
I have increase and decrease the time to catch the error but it is still there i have tried to set 0 for commandout Properties.
if i'm using the 0 for commandtime out then i'm getting the Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.
