I want to move my TEMPDB from C:MSSQL7DATA to another (less critical) drive in the event it grows too much/fast. I've reviewed the process from MS using ALTER DATABASE, etc., but wanted some feedback from the real world before I commit. Are there any issues I should be aware of? I know it must reside on a local drive on the server. Do I need to make any other adjustments in SQL after the move? Your help is much appreciated. - Rob
View 1 RepliesCan someone tell me how I can move the temp database. I know it get's recreated on startup so there must be somewhere that it's referencing.. Is it the model database it uses?
Thanks!
Hi All,
I need to move the tempdb onto a different drive. Can you give me the sql statement to do so.

Hello ,
I want to move my tempdb database to another drive by moving the mdf and ldf files . Is it possible to shift the tempdb once it is created ?
I am shifting the database since there is no space on the current drive and the database might grow in the near furure .
Any ideas ???
Thanks .
Hello:
We are supporting an mssql 6.5, sp 4 application. My associate recently
increased tempdb from 3 gb to 15 gb by adding a 12gb device on a second drive.
The original tempdb device was 3 gb on an h drive and the 12gb addition was added to the f drive limiting the disk space for the data dat file to be expanded. So now I would like to move that second tempdb device to a different drive to free up disk space on the f drive.
1) Can I move the second tempdb device?
2) Or should I try to shrink it and then expand it on a differetn drive?
3) Any other suggestions?
Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
THanks.

Hi,
My tempdb size on the hard disk at the moment is 1GB.
We have recently put in an additional 1GB of RAM to add to our existing 1GB RAM on the SQL server m/c, making it 2GB now.
SQL server is configured to use 928MB of memory. So, I put the TEMPDB (1GB) on the spare (1GB) memory in RAM.
The problem is, it doesn't allow me this saying not enough memory available.
I have also set the WORK SET SIZE parm to 1, to reserve memory for SQL. Still, it will not allow me. The maximum value it allows me for TEMPDB in RAM is 384MB, beyond which the server doesn't start.
What could be the reason for not getting enough memory, though the 1GB of RAM was put in additionally just for this.
Please advise.
Thanks

Right now both of these reside on my C:, but templog is over 3 1/2 GB.1) What do I need to do to move both of these to another drive on thesame system?2) Is there an easy way to purge or compact templog, or just set a sizelimit for it?Thanks,Scott

is there a standard procedure or document that explains how to:
Expand tempdb onto a faster drive ... making it larger
then ...
Remove the small portion of tempdb from my c: drive to reduce contention?
Thanks!

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
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am interested to hear if people think it would be a good idea to movethe Master & TempDB to a different HD.Here is my DB Server's set up:1. Processor: (1) AMD XP 28002. 1st HD (IDE 0) is the system & boot drive3. (3) SCSI HD make up a hardware RAID level 0 (striped withoutparity)solution - these striped drives are just for my working DBs4. (1) SCSI HD that's not doing anything.I want to put the Master & TempDB on the SCSI HD that's not doinganything. Would that be the best place for it for maximum performance orshould I put in the striped array. I am leaning more towards putting onthe SCSI HD that's not doing anything.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHave a SQL2008R2 instance on a VM where the single .mdf for the tempDb database is located on a high contention disk. Â I've managed to get another 60GB disk and thought it would be a good time to move the .mdf and also increase it's size and number of files.Â
The server has 12 cores and after a bit of reading I've decided that it would be best just to have four files for this database as the 1 file per core (-1) seems to be disputed. Â
-- Move the existing file to the new disk and rename it.
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME='tempdev', FILENAME='E:SQLData empdb0.mdf');
-- Change the size to 1GB
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME='tempdev', SIZE= 1048576KB, FILEGROWTH=5%);
-- Add three new files, all with the same size & growth
ALTER DATABASE [tempdb] ADD FILE ( NAME = N'tempdev1', FILENAME = N'E:SQLData empdb1.mdf' , SIZE = 1048576KB , FILEGROWTH = 5%)
ALTER DATABASE [tempdb] ADD FILE ( NAME = N'tempdev2', FILENAME = N'E:SQLData empdb2.mdf' , SIZE = 1048576KB , FILEGROWTH = 5%)
ALTER DATABASE [tempdb] ADD FILE ( NAME = N'tempdev3', FILENAME = N'E:SQLData empdb3.mdf' , SIZE = 1048576KB , FILEGROWTH = 5%)
-- Now restart the instance.
Â
Also, what are peoples thoughts on percentage growth for tempDb? Â I've read that it's not recommend and yet it seems to be the norm.
We are seeing very high Average Disk Queue Length numbers in one of our clusters (both nodes of the cluster are Virtual, but have their own dedicated virtual environments). Our main data drive also houses TempDB, which I would like to move.
Each node in the Active/Passive cluster are running Windows Server 2012 Standard 64bit and SQL Server 2012 Enterprise 64bit. There is a separate drive for Log files and data files.
The data files also have TempDB on them as previously mentioned. I am reading that you can set up a local disk on each node of the cluster, with the same drive letter and path and then move tempdb as you would with a stand alone SQL Server.
Has anyone seen the SQL Server error:
"tempdb is skipped. You cannot run a query that requires tempdb"?
We're running a .Net web application with a SQL Server 2000 backend, and we get the error intermittently. Restarting the SQL Server service seems to fix it, as it causes tempdb to be rebuilt, but this isn't a long term solution. Any direction or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I trying to get the moving total (juts as moving average). It always sum up the current record plus previous two records as well and grouped by EmpId.For example, attaching a image of excel calculation.

Hello!
This is error message I discovered in NT even viewer:
c:MSSQL7DATATEMPDB.MDF: Operating system error 112(There is not enough space on the disk.) encountered.
In SQL Server error log the errors are:
Error: 1101, Severity: 17, State: 10
Could not allocate new page for database 'TEMPDB'. There are no more pages available in filegroup DEFAULT. Space can be created by dropping objects, adding additional files, or allowing file growth..
Currently tempdb rezides on C drive and it's almost out of space.
What should I do?
Detach tempdb and then move to different drive?
What's the procedure?
Thanks
Lena
TEMPDB in one of our production servers does not clear up so every three to four weeks I have to restart NT. Nothing like this happens on any of the other three servers. Does anybody know where I should look at to correct the problem. I sure would appreciate it.
Thanks

I have never done this before and thought I would ask. Is it possible to detach the tempdb database, move it to another drive or partition, and then re-attach it? What would be the downside or side-affects to doing such a thing?
Thanks. JT
We want to shrink the size of our TEMPDB , Does anyone know how to without blowing it away and re creating it.
Also, our tempdb expands to occupy all available space on the server, the space is not released until the server is restarted.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Hi why I cannot backup the tempdb. Is this a normal or there is something that I am doing wrong.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe tempdb has grown to over 2 GB on our DB. There are no user tables or SP in it. Is there a way to clean up and are there any consequences to this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI read an article on this site by Michael Hotek re "Basic SQL Server 6.5 Configuration Options". In the paragraph about TempDB he says that you should always avoid using Temp tables in stored procs. I use this feature a lot when trying to do "not in" type queries (I filter out a portion of a larger table and then use the "not in" on the temp table rather than the entire table.)
Is there a better way to run a Not in query. I have the table well indexed (i think) but it seems to do a full table scan if I use the entire table.
Any ideas???
Our Tempdb.mdf file is 11 gigs. I have tried several things to shrink this but with no luck. Does anybody have a suggestion on how I can free up that space. I have tried to re-start Sql but that didn't do anything. I thought that there was a bug, if the files got above 4 gig that sql wouldn't clear them, but I could be wrong
I thought I could detach it, and attach a new file, but makes me nervous without knowing if that’s correct.
Thanks for the help
Hi,
I moved my tempdb (2MB) to RAM and restarted the server. It did restart but when I tried to connect thru ISQL, it gave me an ERROR -
A connection could not be established to <server-name> - DB-Library. Unable to Connect.
What could be the possible reason.
To move tempdb to RAM, do i just have to change the values of the MEMORY and TEMPDB IN RAM parms and restart or do I have to do anything else.
Please help.
Thanks

Hi
