Has anybody encountered a physical size limit for a sql server 2000 transaction log running on win2k?
Transaction log reached ~6Gb before rolling back the delete stating transaction log was full. There was 42Gb free on the server and the log was set to unlimited growth.
Thanks in advance. What is maximum SQL Server database (*.mdf) file size with SQL Server 2000 as part of Microsoft Small Business Server 2000? (Database files were limited to 10 GB in SBS 4.5 with SQLServer 7.0... has this changed?).

On the MS website (at this URL: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/evaluation/overview/default.asp) it says that the Standard edition of SQL Server 2000 has a database size limit of 1,048,516 terabytes.
Talking to a friend, he tells me this is not true, and that it has a database size limit of 12gb.
Is Microsofts site incorrect, or is my friend lost?
Cheers! :-)
The size of my transaction log file is out of control. I've backed up the database and the transaction log went from 120 GB to 120 MB. Now, I can't reduce the size of the transaction log file. It's still at 120 GB (w/ almost all of that being held as Free Space). I get errors when I try to manually reduce the file size. Any tips?

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!

One of our database is approaching the gigabyte size. I know that microsoft claims to support terabyte databases with sql server 7.0. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about the max size of database they have used on an OLTP site without running into problems. ofcourse with SQL Server.
thanks,

When sending an email in HTML format, shouldn't this allow for 2gb of data? Mine is getting truncated after 4000 characters.
@body NVARCHAR(MAX) = NULL,
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
@recipients='someone@some.com',
@reply_to='someone'
@from_address='someone@here.com>',
@profile_name = 'profilename',

@body = 'lots of data'
How can I check (from TSQL) if a table is likely to bust the 8k limit?ThanksMike
View 1 Replies View RelatedSQL Server 2000 SP3 on a Dell dual 2.4GHz Xeon box 3GB RAM Windows 2KSP4. Two aplication dbs, each less than 2GB in size.Had a problem where we would run Solomon queries and what not againstthe box. It had 2GB RAM, and sqlserv.exe would take up to 1.85GB ofRAM, exhausting the physical RAM on the box. SQL would choke and theSolomon users would have problems, and I would have to restart the SQLservice.I added another GB of RAM, bringing the box to 3GB, and increased thepaging file. The OS sees it, and SQL sees it. I check EnterpriseManager, and tell SQL to dynamically configure memory, and it offers anupper limit of 3071MB, so it "sees" the 3GB.I can stress the box with queries to the point that sqlserv.exe takes1.99GB of memory (as viewed through Task Manager) and then SQL serverchokes. It never goes past 2GB, and the OS and box continue runningfine.Does SQL server 2000 have some upper limit, or do I just need to changesome setting through EM?Thanks.

Does anyone know if a sprocs parameter has a size limit? For example if you're passing in a XML document to a sproc - could that call fail based upon the size of the XML document? Consider memory a non-issue.
Is there a way to limit a tables size in a database?

Hi.
I have a service on a server which contains Sql Server Express.
this service adds documents to the database to allow full text search features.
From some reason, the index crashes and than it writes to the ErrorLog file, the errorlog jumps to 20GB(!) causing the server to crash.
How can :
1. limit the size of the error log.
2. find out why the log jumps to this size (I can't open the error log file ofcourse...)
Thanks!
I backed up my transaction log file using this:
BACKUP LOG iTest2_AELetters TO DISK = N'nul'(yes I know this breaks the log chain - it's expected in this intance)
But after I run it my t log is exact same size. I have refreshed many times.
I am using SQL Always On on this DB.
I create an sql string as so, add parameters to it and execute it:
string cmdstr = "INSERT INTO locations(id1, id2, companyname, address, city, province, postalcode, phonenumber, faxnumber, contact, contactemail) VALUES (@id1,@id2,@companyname,@address,@city,@province,@postalcode,@phonenumber,@faxnumber,@contact,@contactemail)";
SqlCommand sqlCmd = GetCommandSQL(cmdstr);
sqlCmd.CommandTimeout = TimeOut;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@id1", SqlDbType.Int).Value = itID;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@id2", SqlDbType.Int).Value = Convert.ToInt32(ddlDPCLocation.SelectedValue);
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@companyname", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbCompanyName")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@address", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbAddress")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@city", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbCity")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@province", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbProvince")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@postalcode", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbPostalCode")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@phonenumber", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbPhoneNumber")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@faxnumber", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbFaxNumber")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@contact", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbContact")).Text;
sqlCmd.Parameters.Add("@contactemail", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ((TextBox)dvShippingInformation.FindControl("tbContactEmail")).Text;
sqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
for testing purposes ive added the max text in each textbox area, so each textbox has 50 characters or so
and i get an error message as follows, when executing the query:
"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are attempting to improve our merge replication process between our SQL Server 2005 server and SqlCe Mobile 3 client by switching to Data Partitions. We are using IIS as a proxy to SQL Server 2005 running on a different box using a DOMAIN account.
We've setup row filters to use HOST_NAME() and have set the option "Automatically define a partition and generate a snapshot if needed when a new Subscriber tries to synchronize" to true in the Data Partitions options under the publication's properties in SQL server management studio.
If I use a .HostName value of "1234", everything works fine. A subdirectory is created under a our publication's folder in the shared replication directory that relates to the host_name. Data is copied to the device and can be observed through query analyzer that the data is in fact filtered properly.
However, when using a .HostName based on the GetDeviceUniqueID (which results in '3D321F7212B2AD2CC824954662B9023441BB2D20'), replication works sometimes and sometimes fails with "The merge process was unable to deliver the snapshot to the Subscriber. If using Web synchronization, the merge process may have ben unable to create or write to the message file. [etc]". The final HRESULT is 80045017.
While this error indicates a permission problem, there were no permission problems when creating the "1234" partition. In researching the problem, I ran across KB905395 which states:
Limitations on the HostName property and the Subscriber-requested snapshotIf you try to initialize a SQL Server Mobile Edition subscription by using a filtered HostName property, initialization fails. This problem occurs when the value that is supplied for the HostName
property contains more than 12 characters. To work around this problem,
disable Subscriber-requested snapshot delivery at the Publisher. You
can also use a value for the HostName property that contains fewer than 12 characters.
====
This seems to be consistent with what we've observed (which actually led to the "1234" test). Does anyone know if a fix for this exists? Has anyone else run across this issue? I saw a previous post from March that did, but never got resolved. However, the KB article above was posted in March - hmmm...
This is an existing application and filtering based on the device's id is ingrained in the application. Changing it now would be large undertaking.

I am so frustrated, I have upsized a data base from access to sql 6.5 and now had to clip data to fit into a 255 field? I have been looking for weeks to find a solution for this.
I am writing a discussion board very much like this one and need the message text to hold more than 255 chars. I have tried to create a table with a blob and text, The text will not allow me to specify the size when creating from a script (ASP) using create table. If I dont specify a size, it creates it as 16?
Been working on this for several weeks and cannot locate anyone that can answer this question, I want to create a column that will hold more than 255 chars.
IS there something in Sql 6.5 that I need to set to allow more than 255 on a text field? What am I doing wrong?
Please respond. Thank you.
Mike

Hi,

Hi,
I have 2 questions:
Is there any way of getting around the 128MB file size limit when creating and adding SSEv databases to VS2005? Currently I get the following error when trying to connect to a database:"The database file is larger than the configured maximum database size. This setting takes effect on the first concurrent database connection only...". This after I altered the app.config file to "...Max Database Size=600;..."
Have anyone tried to use SSEv to cache data with the use of the Smart Application Offline Building Block? Is there a provider I can use for doing this?
Thanks in advance!
I have a report subscription this is generating PDF files. The end user of the PDF files requires these files to be below a certain threshold in file size. Is there any way to set up a subscription to generate files that are under the threshold size?
If I knew approximately how many records would generate a report below the threshold, is there a way to generate several reports all of which are below the threshold?
Thanks.
Okay, I know the maximum size limit on a database in SQL 2005 Express is 4GB, but what happens when you exceed that limit? I can't seem to find much info on that topic. What kind of error return would you get from a stored procedure attempting to do an insert that will exceed the 4GB limitation? Also what factors go into that maximum size, factors that might not be completely obvious of course?

Why is there a limit of 8000 bytes on CLR Extension user defined types in SQl Server 2005?
We now have varchar(max), varbinary(max) and XML data types that are unlimited in size, byt UDT's are limited to 8000 bytes!.
This limitation is ruining a key project of mine!
Any ideas that MS may lift this limit?

I was working on the SSRS Report Designer and was trying to copy and paste a huge SQL query from SQL Management Studio (like I always do) to the dataset window.
This method usually works, but for this extremely long SQL query with nested SELECTs and JOINs, it seems as though the Report Designer dataset query window limits the number of characters including carriage returns I can input in it.
When I paste my SQL query from SQL Management Studio, it seems to paste only three quarters of the query, and thereafter I am not able to manually key in anything else or even make a line feed in the dataset query window.
Is there a limit to the number of characters I can key in here ? If so, is there any workarounds or configurations I can try ?

I am about to start working on a project where I would be required todynamically create linked servers during the execution of anapplication. One of the requirements is for the Link Servers to becreated and dropped before and after the retrieval of the data. Myquestion is about any type of cap on the number of linked servers SQLServer 2000 can have registered at any single time. If I find out thatthere is some type of cap, I would need to look into another way todeal with my linked server needs. Thanks for any help/information youmight be able to provide.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using the SQL Server 2000 query analyser to write stored procedures for an SQL Server 2000 database.
I would like to find a debugger to help me "look into" my stored procedures as they are executed (e.g. to watch a Cursor fill a table row by row, see the contents of temporary tables as a stored procedure progresses, etc.)
Could anybody, please, direct me to-
* Any debugger that does this
OR
* Simple instructions how to run stored procedures from Visual Basic. I suspect :) that VB's debugger may be able to look into the SQL as it is being executed, but I don't actually know how to use VB itself.

Hi,
I'm a newbie on SSIS and am trying to grasp my way through this.
I am trying to copy data from a Sql Server 2000 database to a simplified table in Sql Server 2005 database.
What I want is to move the data to a staging table, then drop the main
table and rename the staging table to the main table, to minimize the
down-time of the data. I can't get the workflow to work, because the
staging table has to exist when I run the package. I thought I could
use an "Execute SQL" task to generate the table before I would run the
task, but that doesn't work. Am I going about this the wrong way? Is
there an optimal solution to this problem so my data can be accessible
as much as possible.
Regards,
Atli
Hi,I am new to SQL express and try to solve the 4GB size limitation.Is there a possibility to create a new database file every time I getto the limit?How can I do that with C#? how can I create new database file everytime it gets full?Can I be connected to two database files at the same time (the full dband the new db)?thanks in advance,oren
