Resize LDF File

Jul 17, 2007

I have a sql 2005 system and have a very large 25gb ldf file and a 200mb database.
Someone has set the initial size at 25gb so shrinking the file will not help.
I need to remove/add the file to gain space on the drive.

SQL 2000 you could just detach the DB and rename the ldf file and attach the db back and you are done. With 2005 you cannot do that.

Operating System Error 1450 - Unable To Resize Db Physical File

Oct 24, 2007



Hi,

We have a very severe issue in our production, and this is very very ugent to fix this issue, there was a job started on server on 10th October, 2007, for backup of database of 3.2 TB, which caused this issue on 18th October, 2007.
I cancelled that job and even restarted the server, but still there is same issue on the server.

I am using this command to expand the physical file,

ALTER DATABASE [ODS] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N'ODSFG33File1', SIZE = 307200000KB )

Error:

MODIFY FILE encountered operating system error 1450(Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.) while attempting to expand the physical file.

Server:

64bit Itanium Server with 4 Processors
4TB of SAN Storage
24GB of RAM
MS Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition with SP1
MS SQL Server 2005 (9.0.3152) Enterprise Edition with SP2

Database:

3.2 TB Size of Partitioned Database with 60 File Groups
Every File Group contains One month data in its only one physical File.
Physical Files are of different size between 10GB and 300GB.

Kind Regards,
Muhammad Imran.

Log Backup File Size Not Matching Log File Size

Apr 15, 2008

I have a log file that is approximately 50 GIG. I backed up just the log and the file size of the .bak is 192 GIG . Why is this? Shouldn't it be closer to the 50 GIG.

Normally I wouldn't let log grow this much. But we are in process of getting new server up and running and don't have backups going yet. They are working on getting that up and running this week.

So I did a log backup to give me back some log space for now but was concerned when I saw the size of the .bak file.

When I view media contents of the backup device it shows one tranaction log back up and size of 192 GIG.

What is up with this. I know in SQL 2000 the log backup files where never this big. they were about the size of the log itself.

Any ideas?

SQL 2012 :: Existing Replica MDF File Size Increased In Size Than New Replica Install

Apr 14, 2015

Here are my scenarios:

We have an application with replicated environment setup on sql server 2012 . Users will have a replica on their machines and they will replicate to the master database. It has 3 subscriptions subscribed to the publications on the master db.

1) We set up a replica(which uses sql server 2012) on a machine with no sql server on it. After the initial synchronization(used replmerge tool) the mdf file has grown to 33gigs and ldf has grown to 41 gigs. I went to sql server management studion . Right click and checked the properties of the local database. over all size is around 84 gb with little empty free space available.

2) We set up a replica(which uses sql server 2012) on a machine with sql server 2008 on it. After the initial synchronization(used replmerge tool) the mdf file has grown to 49 gigs and ldf has grown to 41 gigs. I went to sql server management studio , Right click and checked the properties of the local database. over all size is around 90 gb with 16 gb free space available.

3) We set up a replica(which uses sql server 2012) on a machine with sql server 2012 on it. We have dropped the local database and recreated the local db and did the initial synchronization using replmerge tool. The mdf file has grown to 49 gigs and ldf has grown to 41 gigs. I went to sql server management studio , Right click and checked the properties of the local database. over all size is around 90 gb with 16 gb free space available.

Why it is allocating the space differently? This is effecting our initial replica set up times.

Restoring BAK File Increases Log File Size

Sep 5, 2007



We have 2 SQL Server 2k5 servers running the same build - 9.0.2047 . When I backup any database from one server and attempt to restore it to the other, the log file generally increases by 100 fold. It errors out after I try to restore a 100MB db and it tries to create a 9.8GB log file. This happens both when I use the GUI to restore and when I restore from a T-SQL script. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

SQL Mobile 2005 Resize Column

Jun 12, 2007

I am trying to resize a COLUMN. Can I do this with the ALTER TABLE MODIFY command? I am getting the following error message when I try the "alter table [admin] modify [runFileTypes] NVARCHAR(250)" command.

" [ 1,21,modify ]"



command = ssceconn.CreateCommand()

command.CommandText = "alter table [admin] modify [runFileTypes] NVARCHAR(250)"

command.ExecuteNonQuery()





The only other option I can think of is to rename the old field, add a new field, copy the value of the old field to the new field, and delete the old field. I have some of the code below, but I am not sure how to copy the contents of the old field to the new field.



command = ssceconn.CreateCommand()

command.CommandText = "ALTER TABLE myTable RENAME COLUMN [oldField] TO [newField]"

command.ExecuteNonQuery()



command.CommandText = "ALTER TABLE myTable ADD COLUMN [oldField] varchar(500)"

command.ExecuteNonQuery()



command.CommandText = "ALTER TABLE myTable DROP [newField]"

command.ExecuteNonQuery()

SQLNCLI Error After Column Resize On Linked Server

Apr 8, 2008



I am linking to another SQL Server database to extract data into my own system. Following an increase in size on one of the columns in a table I am extracting, I am getting the following error:

'OLE DB provider 'SQLNCLI' for linked server 'gsc-rpt.svr.bankone.net' returned data that does not match expected data length for column '[gsc-rpt.svr.bankone.net].[Peregrine].[dbo].[scProblem].short_description'. The (maximum) expected data length is 100, while the returned data length is 148'

The column short_description has been increased from 100 to 1024. Writing a simple query, SELECT (max(len(short_description)) FROM dbo.Peregrine_Problem will generate the error, but if I embed the same SQL into an Excel VBA macro and connect to the server, it happily returns the result 1024. Our Access databases also link to the table on the remote server and handle the increased column size properly.

I have done everything I can think of, including deleting the linked server within SQL Server MS, and recreating it, but I can't override the setting of 100.

Any ideas?
