When connecting to an SQL Server (v7 in this case) the log file shows that old and deleted databases are still being opened as part of the process. Further, these db names are now reserved and cannot be reused, even thought I've deleted them.
Is there any way I can purge all traces of these deleted db names?
You might have guessed, I'm a newbie, which is why there are a few dozen deleted DBs.
Thanks for any help

How do I purge data off of an MSDE database. I only want to keep 6 months of data in the database. Right now I have data going back to 2004. I get errors about every 10 seconds. "Primary File Group is Full" is the error I am getting.
Is it possible to purge all records in the database while retaining the the table structures. Even better yet, could I do it on a table by table basis? If I simply delete all the records the identities for the tables do not revert back to 1.

Our past CIO deleted a SQL Server database because he didn't know what it was or if we needed it. Guess what we do! We were able to undelete the backup files but when we try to restore from it we get the error "No a valid backup" Any ideas?
Thank you for any help. :eek:
I am using this code to delete records from a table in the database that has two fields (both are primary keys) I am not getting any error, but nothing gets deleted. Thanks for the help.
Code:protected void btnRemove_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Remove();Response.Redirect("RegisteredCompanies.aspx");
}protected void Remove()
{
//update database with filename
//Save Changes
connection.Open();using (SqlTransaction trans = connection.BeginTransaction())
{
try
{ SqlHelper.ExecuteNonQuery(trans, CommandType.StoredProcedure, "spRemoveCompany", new SqlParameter("@Userid", getGdUserID(Profile.UserName)),new SqlParameter("@BusinessID", getBusinessID());
}catch (Exception err)
{
// throw exception
trans.Rollback();
lblStatus.Text = "An error has occurred in the delete process. Please try again.";
}
}
Here is the stored procedure:ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spRemoveCompany]
@Userid uniqueidentifier OUTPUT,
@BusinessID uniqueidentifier OUTPUT
ASDELETE FROM Associations2 WHERE Userid = @Userid AND BusinessID = @BusinessID

I posted this in the SQL Server Express forum as well...
My app deployed via ClickOnce. It ships with a database creation script which creates the database in the ClickOnce data directory. Upon uninstall, the entire data folder is deleted successfully. But if you then reinstall the app, SQL Server Express still thinks the database exists. Right now, to get a re-install to work, I have to go into Management Studio Express, click on the db (get an pop-up error as the physical db file is no longer there) and then click delete.
So my question is... what system proc should I execute in the db creation script before I run the CREATE DATABASE command?

I have a question on shrinking tempDB. Currently, I am using MS SQL 2005 Server, I have a software that used SQL DB but I had created a separate database to store my data. The tempDB is totally not used at all.
Problem - Whenever I export data into my created database on MS SQL server, tempDB also grew, I noticed that the files grew so large that it crashed the server. I am running 50GB free space on my drive where by the MS SQL server was installed.
Question - May I know are there any solution to shrink or freeze the growth of tempDB size?
Best regards

I have detached the database via sp_detach_db in a job, (I was trying to use a job to detach the database, then make copies of the mdf file, then attach the databases as different copies, somehow the job failed due to file locked) I tried to delete the physical files, but they were still locked. I tried several times, two of them I was able to delete the mdf files, but not the ldf file. The other one both mdf file and ldf file can not be deleted. I was not able to see the database via Management studio.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Hi,
In one of our DR Servers we have configured Custom Logshipping. In the folder where the .TRN files are getting copied there is a script to purge the files which are older than one day. Following is the code for the same.
@Echo Off
if exist filelist del filelist
date /t > rundate
for /f "tokens=2* delims= " %%i in (rundate) do set rundate=%%i
for %%i IN (*.trn) do echo >> filelist %%i %%~ti
for /f "tokens=1,2* delims= " %%i in (filelist) do if not %rundate% equ %%j del %%i
:pause
:Exit
Instead of removing the files older than 1 day, I need to keep 3 days transaction logs.
Being a novice I don't have much idea how to accomlish it. Can anybody help me with this?
Many thanks in advance,

Thank you very much for your kind attention.
Just found that my tempdb is always full whenever I run a query against a large database. Could please any experts here give me any advices on what is tempdb database used for and how to determine what files can be deleted from it?
I am looking forward to hearing from you and thanks a lot in advance.
With best regards,

Hi,
I'm using SQL2K with SP4 2187. I have created a DB Maintenance wizard where the purging older than 1 day is set.
However, this feature seems not to be working, even if I tried two ways. Delete the scheduled job and recreate it - not successful, 2nd) delete the Maintenance Plan, still not successful.
Is this a bug or do I miss something here.
Regarding SQL Server data, I am looking to implement the beset Data-Archive and Purge policy. Normal, we do SQL Backups and keep the history for some period , for example, 8 weeks, so we can go back and restore any data point in time upto 8 month in past. and we also do Tape backups.
Question is Where can I get nice article or documentation on this to best design such policy where I make sure that I am covered for point in time recovery of database (which is sql backups) and point in time recovery in far past, say, 3 years ago using tape backups, and I need to make sure that I don't repeat the same efforsts.
Any advices or suggestion on this topic.
Thanks,
Stepping thru the code with the debugger shows the dataset rows being deleted.
After executing the code, and getting to the page presentation. Then I stop the debug and start the
page creation process again ( Page_Load ). The database still has the original deleted dataset rows.
Adding rows works, then updating works fine, but deleting rows, does not seem to work.
The dataset is configured to send the DataSet updates to the database. Use the standard wizard to create the dataSet.
cDependChildTA.Fill(cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild, UserId); rowCountDb = cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild.Count; for (row = 0; row < rowCountDb; row++) { dr_dependentChild = cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild.Rows[0]; dr_dependentChild.Delete(); //cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild.Rows.RemoveAt(0); //cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild.Rows.Remove(0); /* update the Client Process Table Adapter*/ // cDependChildTA.Update(cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild); // cDependChildTA.Update(cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild); }
/* zero rows in the DataSet at this point */ /* update the Child Table Adapter */ cDependChildTA.Update(cDependChildDs._ClientDependentChild);
Hi,We have a Java application that runs against a variety of backendsincluding Oracle and MSSql 2000 and 2005. Our application has ahandful of active tables that are constantly being inserted into, andsome of which are being selected from on a regular basis.We have a purge job to remove unneeded records that every hour "DELETEFROM <tableWHERE <datafield< <sometimestamp>". This is how we arepurging because we need 100% up time, so we do so every hour. Forsome tables the timestamp is 2 weeks ago, others its 2 hours ago. Thedate field is indexed in some cases, in others it is not... theDELETE is always done off of a transaction (autoCommit on), butexperimentation has shown doing it on one doesn't help much.This task normally functions fine, but every once in a while theinserts or counts on this table fail with deadlocks during the purgejob. I'm looking for thoughts as to what we could do differently orother experience doing this type of thing, some possibilities include:- doing a select first, then deleting one by one. This is apossibility, but its SLOW and may take over an hour to do this so we'dbe constantly churning deleting single records from the db.- freezing access to these tables during the purge job... our appcannot really afford to do this, but perhaps this is the only option.- doing an update of an "OBSOLETE" flag on the record, then deletingby that flag... i'm not sure we'd avoid issues doing this, but its'an option.The failures happen VERY infrequently on sql2005 and much morefrequently on sql2000. Any help or guidance would be mostappreciated, thanks!Bob

Plz help me reagrding these two problems.
Thanks in advance for the quick replies.

HiWe have need for an SSIS package that would perform routine purging of the growing data in some of the tables used to support notification services. While running Sql in a regular job would seem to suffice, an SSIS package would be more in line with the other processes for the alerts in terms of manageability. The SSIS package should follow the following guidelines:Deletes records from a given number of tables, based on a specified date column for each table and a specified number of days for each table, or other conditions. SystemAlertQueue: 30 days old based on the SubmitTimestamp column. SystemAlertChron: 30 days old based on the EventTimestamp column. SystemAlertNotifChron: 30 days old based on the NotifTimestamp column. WMICheck, related tables (based on WMICheckID, see WMIAlerts database diagram in SqlServer) 15 days old based on BeginCheckDate column. Each table€™s deletion routine should be distinguishable in the package. Does any body know how to do this.. Please help meRegardsDeepu M.I
