is there a way to read or access the transaction log of a
database in SQL server 7.0
Hoping someone has a solution :-)
We are having continual problems with our transaction log filling up on one of our major applications.
Does anyone know of a way or tool to read the transaction log? We want to determine what is causing this problem.
Thanks
Is there a way, in SQL 7.0 to print out or view what's in the Transaction Log? In 6.5 you could view the table syslogs, but I don't see any documentation anywhere on how to do this in 7.0.

I have a backup regime where i take a full backup of my production database once a day and then 3 min log backups, I backup my msdb and master once a week.
I need to write a script to scroll through a given directory and restore the log backups in date/time order(with no restore) until the last file and then restore.
I know this is availible in the backup history but if my SQl box crashes and i cant get a uptodate master and msdb the backup history will not be uptodate to restore the database to it's current state.
Can anybody help with a script? or give me any pointers of how to read in filenames in SQL (please remenber i am a SQL virgin).
Thanks
Barry.

Hi,
My first post.
Problem:
I have 2 tables EmployeeA(Eng) and EmployeeB(Spanish) kept in seperate mdb's. I want to add the records into Sql Server 2005 table called StateEmployee.
Procedure:
1. Loop through 2 folders..one containing table EmployeeA in mdb and other containing tbl EmployeeB in diff mdb's.
2. Pick a file from EmployeeA and EmployeeB, both at the same time.
3. Count the total no of rows in both files. If equal proceed.
4. Compare the 'employeeid' of one row of employeeA to the employeeid of EmployeeB.
5. If employee id matches, load both the rows in Sql server else file it to the error table.
6. Loop through all rows simultaneously till end of row.
7. Go to next mdb.
How do i go about this step by step. I am fairly new to SSIS. I asked my other friends too but they have complex answers which i couldnt follow. Hope someone gives an 'easy to understand' solution with sample.
thanks.
hello to everyone, i would like to ask u if you know how can i import pdf files in sql server integration services 2005? does anyone have a script ???
thank u
I am trying to read a 36 byte files that contains compressed data. I create my Flat File data source and SSIS reads it fine UNTIL it hits a x00 in the file. Then it stops reading and I can't get any data after it. There is data after the x00. Here the entire hex string: C7 C7 CF 6A 00 00 05 02 3D 03 21 01 E0 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 3D 3C 1E FD 02 C8 00 00 00 AE 41 E3 28 7C
To test, I changed the two x00 in bytes 5 and 6 to x01 and SSIS read until the next x00.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi All,
I have a challenge i am trying to overcome, hopefully soneone would have come across this issue before..
I am creating a DTS package that will be scheduled to run at a certain time everyday. A source folder exists that get a set of new files everyday.The DTS Package will then read each file and copy the data into a load table in my database the challenge is this:
I am trying to load files from a source folder into my load table, Within each file, the entires are in a specific format using pipes to seperate the data that goes into which column e.g
example of a file entry:
column1 | column2 | column3
data1 | data2 | data3
data1 | data2 | data3
data1 | data2 | data3
And now i am using DTS to specify the file format and map the cloumns as apprporiate to my table...all this is well and good, but my problem is each file has a different name as well as being timestamped, now how do i use DTS to specify the source folder, open each file sequentially and read (or more appropriate, copy the entries into my table, inserting new data from each file into my load table as well as overwriting old data in the load table from the files in the folder ?) is there a way in specifying your source folder in DTS rather than specifying the file in the Menu options (in the transformation data task properties )given, and or do i need to write a script for this(reading the file?)
can someone please give me a solution and how to approach this?
thanks in advance
Hi€¦
During my web search looking for a solution I ran across SQL CE 3.5 articles. My questions about SQL CE 3.5 are:
1) Can SQL CE 3.5 handle a 4 €“ 6 GB file
- Read
- Parse (SQL)
2) Can SQL CE 3.5 act as a standalone client that a user can view a large (4-6 GB) text file?
- Will I need a .NET (small) client to read the large (4-6 GB) text file?
More info:
The text file will reside on the machine where the SQL CE 3.5 is installed. There is no pull to get the data.
Thank you (in advance)€¦

We have a package that is using a ForEach loop container to access files on a network drive. For some reason I am getting a message that the ForEach enumerator is empty and did not find any files that matched the pattern. For the pattern I left the default *.* for testing purposes. I have specified the file folder as \remoteserverfilesharesubfolder and also as \remoteserverc$filesharesubfolder and have gotten the same message. However when I map a network drive and set the file folder to the network drive it finds the files. Is this a permissions issue?
After I finish processing the file I want to move it to a new directory. Once this is deployed in production, the package will not be running under a domain account and probably won't have access to the network folder. Is there any way to specifiy in the connection manager itself that it should use a specific account to access the folder?
TIA,
Sabrina
Has anyone had any trouble moving a package using a OLE DB Connection Manager reading DBASE IV files? While developing I never had a problem, the confiugration string described int his thread (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=76237&SiteID=1) worked just fine. Since I have enabled Configurations, my package will always fail when trying to read the dbf file. I've gone through just about every setting in the config file that I can think of.

Hi,
My requirement is I have to read 2 sets of files from a folder. For example, I have to read all files starting with either 'a' or 'b' only. In 'Foreach Loop', if I say 'a*,b*', it is not working. Instead of comma (,), I tried colon, semi-colon and pipeline characters also. It is not working. So I am using 2 loops now. But I would like to know is there any way to do it using a single loop?
Thanks.
Is there a way to read data from a linked server,within a transaction, without using DTC?The data on the linked server is static, thereforethere is no need for two-phase commit. There isno need for locking data on the linked server, becauseit is not being updated (either from the remote server,or from the local server).I don't want to run DTC because:1.) there have been security-related flaws with DTC inthe past2.) the application doesn't do distributed updates, andbecause the data on on the remote server is static,there is really no data integrity exposure withoutDTC.I cannot specify "WITH (NOLOCK)" on the select fromthe linked server:Server: Msg 7377, Level 16, State 1, Line 6Cannot specify an index or locking hint for a remote data source.I tried setting the isolation level:SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTEDbut that seems to have no effect on the requirement to use DTC.I still get the message:MSDTC on server 'LOCALSERVER' is unavailable.Is there some other way around this? Is it possible to provide someconnection string parameter, in the linked server setup, that wouldspecify the "READ UNCOMMITTED" isolation level for the linked server,so that DTC wouldn't be necessary.(In other words, can I tell SQL Server, "trust me, this won't hurt"?)Environment: SQL Server 2000 sp4The SQL does something like:declare @x char(4), @k int, @rc1 int, @rc2 intset @k=123BEGIN TRANselect @x=xfrom remoteserver.remotedatabase.dbo.tablewhere k=@kupdate localdatabase.dbo.table1set x=@xwhere k=@kset @rc1=@@errorupdate localdatabase.dbo.table2set x=@xwhere k=@kset @rc2=@@errorif (@rc1 = 0 AND @rc2=0) COMMIT TRANelse ROLLBACK TRAN

I have a database with two data files as x.mdf, y.ndf and two transaction log files as l1.ldf, l2.ldf. I wanted to have only one log file for this database. What are possible options for me to make these two transaction log files into one transaction log file leaving data files as it is?

Hi All,
I am trying to understand the difference between the physical, logical and virtual logs. I found some info in BOL, but I am still a little bit confused.
What is the physical file? Is each transaction considered a physical file?
Each physical log file consists of a number of virtual log files.
Then what about the logical log? When does it come into play?
Thanks.
Hi,
I'm wondering if when adding another transaction log file, if the DB needs to be detached in order to remove that file. Or rather, what do you have to do in order to reduce the number of transaction log files..?

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,
Sandhya
i have a few tables using Sql Server 2005 Express. currently they are holding roughly 30-40k records in them. i have my log files set at restricted growth to 90 megs. while im not close to reaching that, i would like my tables to be able to scale up to possibly millions of records. based on that, i figure the transaction log file will prolly need to have a higher threshold (unrestricted growth). for those with experience, for tables that have millions of records, what are the average size log files i could expect.
is it a bad idea to just shrink the log file every night during off peak hours so that regardless of the amount of records i have, ill always start the day with a minimal log file?
do large log files have any effect on SQL performance?
I already did the following but still it wont delete the log file because it is not empty- DBCC SHRINKFILE('logfilename',EMPTYFILE) - DBCC SHRINKFILE('logfilename',TRUNCATEONLY)- ALTER DATABASE databasename REMOVE FILE logfilename
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello guys and girls. I have installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and I have specified that the databases should be created on the K: drive. This is okay but now I need to move all the transaction log files (.ldf) to the L: drive. I have already changed the default location for the log files to point to the L: drive and the new databases that were created after the installation have their transaction log file correctly in the L: drive but now I need to move transaction log files for the master, model, temp ... databases. How can this be done? And are there any gotchas?
