Moving LogFile From One Disk To Another
Apr 11, 2002
I am trying to move a logfile from one disk to another. I've detached the database, moved the logfile to another disk and reattached the database. I used the sp_detach and sp_attach_db to specify the paths of the *.MDF and *.LDF. I've tried it through Enterprise Manager and with boths ways I get an error message saying: "Error 9003: The LSN (201:48:2) passed to log scan in database 'DatabaseName' is invalid". Does anyone know what this means and how I can get around this. I've even tried to attach the database with the logfile in the original path and I still get that error. Need Help Please!
Thanks

I want to move 2 databases to another physical disk. They are both single file databases. It looks like a fairly straigtforward attach and detach procedure, but I have a couple of questions:
The log files (.ldf) currently reside on a separate physical disk from the data files, if I attach and reattach the data files will the logs remain where they are by default or do I have to re specify there location?
Is there any advantage to running the update statistics portion of the sp_detach_db?

Hi all,
I have to give support to this new client of ours and the system out there was a real mess.The log files for all four databases were ranging from 5 to 9 GB's, no maintanance no nothing was done since the setup of the system. I have truncated the logs after taking proper backups since it all started after they compalined a DTS was not working, which was due to no disk space available ;).
Now I have to shift the log files to a seperate disk.
I know it can be done by detaching the database and attaching it back, I was wondering if we can do it without bringing the system offline?
Anycomments welcome.
Thankyou.
regards,
harshal.

I am trying to find out if it is possible to move indexes to a separate filegroup/disk drive during database restore. I am trying this to see if it improves performance. Also if I cannot move the indexes during restore, how would I move them afterwards to a different filegroup/disk drive? Thanks in advance for all the help.

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

If I return the Average, Minimum, and Maximum values for the counter Physical Disk: Avg. Disk Queue Length, and those values are 10, 0, 87 respectively, which value do I use to compute the Avg. Disk Queue Length for a 4 disk array(RAID 10): Average, Minimum, or Maximum? The disk(lun) is on a SAN.

Hello,
I am trying to setup a test cluster and am having an issue. When I try to create the resource of a physical disk it takes both the drive e: and drive q: and doesn't seperate them into two physical disks as resources. This means when I try to associate the quorum disk it links the to physcial disk resource of drive e and q. Then when I try to install SQL2k5 I get the warning about installing SQL on the quorum disk. Am I missing something? Is there a way to seperate e and q onto two physical disk resources so I can specifically associate the quorum to q and the sql to e or should I be setting the quorum disk to a majority node set? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
this is my configuration :
1) 3 disks in RAID5 that hold the SQL data
2) 1 disk in RAID0 that holds the only paging file.
What will happen to the SQL data (DB) when the disk that holds the paging file crashes?
Kindest regards,
Luc.

Hi all,
Ok here goes,
I have a three tier system using SQL server 2000, we are currently experiencing IO bottle necks on our SCSI Raid 10 array, which holds the Data and the logs in separate partitions.
So my options as I understand it are:
Get Enterprise edition
or
Get another physical raid 10 array and separate the logs and data i.e. data on one array and logs on the other array.
I would like to try the latter but I am totally unsure how much difference this will make or whether it will make any difference at all.
Does anyone know how much performance increase I will get from using two arrays as opposed to one?
Any other advice on this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, maybe someone has some clues to the following situation. Suppose from a SQL 7 database, only the log .ldf files are lost. All datafiles are present. Suppose there is no backup of this database. SQL Server will put the database in the SUSPECT status. The following question is very interesting to me: Can one recover from this situation??? I ask this, because when datafiles are lost, it's obvious that you have lost data, but since the transaction log files are a "bit special", I just wonder how one can survive such a situation.
I know that IF a database has only ONE log file associated with it, and this one log file gets lost, SQL Server will create on startup a new log file. But with multiple log files, it does not behave in this sympathic manner. Is there perhaps any way to recover (for example, an undocumented dbcc command or so) ?
I surely will appreciate any tip or suggestion !! Thanks!!!

Hello guys!
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.

Dear all,
I am using SAP with MSSQl 2005. My transaction logfile is full. I took backup of transaction logfile and it should be truncated and shrink after the backup, but it did nothing. There is no error but the file size remain same.
I tried from SQL server management studio selecting database--right click--shrink--file. Then i try to release unused space, shrink, but not worked.
I also checked these steps while the SAP system was stopped.
Can anyone guide me what to do now?
Thanks

Hi there,
I want to write a sql query (for SQL7 & 2K) that gives the size and space used of the log file for a given database. I can do it for data files using sysfiles/sysindexes, but can see how I can do it for the logfile.
I know I can use DMO or dbcc sqlperf(logspace), but I want to understand how and where the information is kept in system tables.

Hi, i am not familiar with MSSQL so maybe it's not as difficult to you as it is to me - in brief:
SQL version: Microsoft SQL Server 7.00 - 7.00.699 (Intel X86)
Errorlog shows:
Starting up database 'CH2'.
Opening file E:CH2DATA1CH2DATA1.mdf.
Opening file E:CH2DATA2CH2DATA2.ndf.
Opening file E:CH2DATA3CH2DATA3.ndf.
File D:CH2LOG1CH2LOG1.ldf does not exist - unable to activate.
Enterprise Manager
Shows database CH2 (suspect)
Executing script:
sp_add_log_file_recover_suspect_db CH2, CH2LOG1, 'D:CH2LOG1CH2LOG1.ldf', 1000
Shows errormessage "The database 'CH2' does not exist."
How can i get a new logfile?
What if i created a new db 'CH2' and then replaced the data files?
What do i have to tell MSSQL to create a new logfile on startup?
All scenarios shown in Books On Line only seem to solve problems
if you do have a logfile and need more space.

Hi
I have a business case where I have a database with a size of 2 GB. In my business case I want to delete 70% of the contents in the database. During the delete the size of the database(including the logfile) grows up to 10 GB. When I look on the database in the SQL Server Enterprice Manager there are only 700 MB used of these 10 GB.
The deletes are performed with ordinary SQL-statements "DELETE FROM X WHERE Y = 1 AND Z = 2..."
Thankfull for hints on how to solve this problem.
Regards,
Peter

Has anyone had this problem or know how to prevent it? I received an error message yesterday from my SQL server (v7.0 with SP2) saying that the logfile for the tempdb was full. The logfile for tempdb is set by default to unlimited growth and the drive it is on has 24GB free. What causes this error to happen?

If I can get around taking a few databases offline, I'd like to. I need to get logfiles on a lower-capacity drive.
Ideally, I wouldn't like to have multiple logfiles swimming around. But, I was thinking that if I created a second logfile, and then backed up the transaction log, I might be able to remove the first logfile?
The other thought I had, was creating a second logfile, and then turning off autogrow on the first log.
Maybe there is a better solution? Maybe neither of these will work?
Thoughts?

Hi there,
I recently saw that the transaction log files of user dbs grow undefinitely in SQL Server 2000 - one of our customers had a 11 GB log file which totally slowed down the server.
Another customer of ours uses one of my applications logging all actions in a MSDE database file and I fear that the corresponding transaction log file will grow and block the system too - is there any way that I could shrink and set the max size of the transaction log file through SQL?
I already know the command "SHRINK FILE ('filename')" but I haven't found a SQL command to set the max size.
Thank you for any hints!

As per the old times, do we still need to have the SQL server database's data file and logfiles seprately while we are even using Fusion IO?
In my case, all the drives G and H are from Fusion IO.
So, will it really matter if both my Data and log are on G drive or should I still have them separately on G and H Drives.
