Full Recovery Model - Log Doesn't Grow?
Feb 7, 2006Hi all,I have a SQL Server 2000 database that is using the Full recoverymodel. The database is purely receiving inserts (and plenty of them)with maybe some view/table creation for reporting.In this state I would expect the log to grow ad infinitum but it getsto about 32% used and then empties.The log is not being backed up at all so am I missing something else?CheersDee

LDF File Does Not Grow..
Jun 27, 2007Bear with me - My SQL Server 2005 Maintenance is as good as a Newbie..
I was running a Very Large Transaction over the weekend (Say 10Mill Inserts)..
And after waiting for 3/4 Hrs for the transaction to complete -- Checked the LDF File, I has grown to a 100 GB.
After that i discovered that i had the Recovery Model as FULL .. So Killed the Job and Changed the recovery mode from Full -> Simple.
Now i see that the LDF file is not growing in size even though there are many transactions that were complete successfully (Still Very slow though)...
What am i missing here - Iam clueless as to why my LDF is not growing in size?
Any Ideas??

Auto Grow Enabled But DB Won't Grow
Jan 15, 2005I've been through the forum and read a number of threads on people's DBs not growing and the answer usually is they don't have auotmatically grow data file. Unfortunately I have this on, but when I look at the properties of the database it reports the space available is 0.00 MB? Up until about two weeks ago I was showing appx 48% space utilization. When I ran an SP to show growth, it tells me that it was expanded by 20% yesterday, but SQL Server is still telling me the space available is zero.
The log file is also set for auto growth. The DB is 14.5 GB in size and the drives still have around 92 GB of space.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any ideas? Does anyone know of an SPs that can give me detailed info on internal data file size compared to stated size (i.e. wasted space in data file)? Is SQL Server doing something funny in the way it is seeing the database or data files individually? Any help is appreciated.
Proactively Grow Data File Size
Jan 9, 2008My primary (and only) data file has reached the point where it is auto growing. I would like to grow this file in one big chunk at an off peak time. I can't seem to find the code I need to make the file grow when I want it to?
View 1 Replies View RelatedDB Engine :: Analyzing What Is Causing The Log File To Grow
Aug 20, 2015For one of our database we have an issue where its log file got increased rapidly last week on Fri and Sat. The database is on SQL server 2008 R2 with compatibility level at 80. Please see below log grow events :
First, we thought Index maintenance like Re-index and update stats could have been the reason, but when check the schedule that job ran on 16th using below code:
USE ABC
GO
EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1="print '?' DBCC DBREINDEX ('?', ' ', 80)"
GOEXEC sp_updatestatsGO
I know above is OLD fashioned, but we believe that should not be the major cause here? How can i determine what happened on 14th and 15th which cause the event to trigger and log file bumps to 80 and 70 GB both days.
How Data File And Log File Grow?

Actually, the modified timestamps of some otherdatabases files are also '2/11/2004 10:34PM'. That's weird.I found the following message that's relevent to the above timestamp inthe SQL Server Logs:=====2004-02-11 22:34:10.12 server SQL Server terminating because ofsystem shutdown.=====I'm pretty sure there have been a lot updates taking place on thisdatabase. We don't hear any complaints from the customers that theyhave had any problems (such as, no space left) with the databases.Did the SQL server write the data and log somewhere else?Any insight on what's going on would be appreciated.Bing

SQL Server 2012 :: Dynamically Grow A Data File?
Dec 5, 2014Is it possible to dynamically grow a data file for TempDB?
I have some TSQL that I want to execute (this is raw tsql, not something I'd typically share) when I get an alert that TempDB is growing.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE @TempDB TABLE (FileID tinyint, name varchar(50), size bigint)
DECLARE @TotalSize decimal(19,4), @TotalFiles int, @CurrentTempDBSize bigint, @SQL varchar(1000), @DBName varchar(50)
SET @SQL = ''
INSERT INTO @TempDB
[code]....
ENDThe code runs fine, but doesn't actually increase the size of the file.

View 6 Replies View RelatedServer Disk Space Is Getting Close To Full Capacity
Feb 18, 2015My SQL server disk space is getting close to full capacity which is causing certain reports that we run via the SQL server to time out because I don't think there is enough space on the server.
Any tips on cleaning out a SQL server? Are there any folders that can absolutely be deleted to clear space? I know on a local computer that the %temp% folder can be cleaned out. I know when dealing with servers you do not want to make to many changes because it can cause major problems down the road.

Reading Sql From A Disk File

I want to read in T-SQL contained in a file held on disk and execute it in a stored procedure.
Anybody know how to get the contents of the text file into a variable so I can exec it ?
Thanks for your time.

Disk Backup Failures (file In Use)
Feb 21, 2000I am getting occasional failures of a SQL Server 7.0 complete backup to disk on a production database. The errors seem to indicate that another process has the disk file open at the time of the backup. The errors contain the following texts : -
'Cannot open backup device'
'Operating System Error=32 Process cannot access file because it is being used by another process'.
The only other process that should access the disk file is an ARCserveIT scheduled job to copy the disk backup to tape but this is completing long before.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Moving Transaction Log File To Another Disk
Apr 5, 2004Hi 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.
Move Log File To Another Physical Disk
Jul 13, 2007Hi everyone,
Due to running out of disk space and reducing I/O contention, I plan to seperate data files and log files to different disk arrays.
My plan is to
- detach all databases
- copy log files to another disk
- attach all databases
The total size of log files is about 60GB. It becomes a problem becasue it spend too much time passing files. To reduce down time, is there any way I can do?
Can I just create new log files and remove the current files by using sql management studio?
any other suggestions? Thanks in advance

File Fragmentation And Disk Read Queue
May 16, 2008I have a poorly performing SQL box.
I have run perfmon and the avg read queue length is pretty much permanently maxed out at 100%.
I have run a database index defrag.
On further inspection the file system is highly fragmented. There is a file fragmentation of 98% with the mdf file fragmented in 25,000 pieces. Running a standard windows defrag does not resolve this.
Two questions?
1- Is heavy file fragmentation of the MDF file a likely cause of the read queue length bottlneck?
2 - Why is the MDF file not defragmenting? Does the SQL server have to be taken offline? Is it possible to defrag a MDF file?
