So I need to write a script to look for available free space percentage in my databases, but I only want it to look at capped files. We consider a file with autogrowth off as capped for our purposes.
This is my problem: in sys.database_files and sys.master_files, if I have autogrowth off then max_size is -1, which is the same value as unlimited growth.
I cannot find another setting anywhere to determine how SQL Server recognizes that a particular file is set to not allow autogrowth. Any setting in a DMV anywhere where I can see whether autogrowth is disabled or not?
My current understanding is that most, if not all dmv's are dynamic in that if a server is rebooted than the information gathered from the dmv's will be reset. What happens if the mirror instance fails over (manually or because of a hardward/software issue)? Does the failover of the principal to the mirror node cause the a resetting of the dmvs?
Queries against DMVs like sys.dm_XXX causing blocking in user databases? I have never read that querying DMVs has caused blocking in user databases but that question recently came up in my environment.
I cannot find this info anywhere. We have Hyperion 8.x running against SQL 2000. We will upgrade side-by-side in the coming weeks. It appears that Hyperion 8.x is assured to continue to work without issue with a 2K5 database in 80 compatibility level.
I have seen the BOL table on differences between 80 and 90 (specifically affects us - WITH on Index hints), but what I wonder are about 3 specific features.
1. Do you still get DMV capabilities in 80 mode? (I ran a test on sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats for an 80 compat DB, creating index and using query to hit index, and yes - it does look as if this DMV does get populated).
2. Can you still Table Partition in 80 mode? (Ran a test in DEV, and yes - this does look possible - any gotchas?)
3. Does the optimizer behave quite differently in 80 mode?
I have tested in DEV moving a DB from 80 to 90 and back, and this seems to work with no problems.
I am testing a msde 2000 sp4 database. (would like to use it against sqlserver 2005 later) I need to turn the property for autogrowth on and check that an application alterts the user that it is on
and then off and verify the user is altered that it was set off.
I am not sure if this will work for mydb and mydblog --turn off autogrowth USE master GO ALTER DATABASE mydb MODIFY FILE (NAME = mydb, FILEGROWTH = 0MB) GO
--turn on autogrowth USE master GO ALTER DATABASE mydb MODIFY FILE (NAME = mydb, FILEGROWTH = 10MB) GO
USE master GO ALTER DATABASE mydblog MODIFY FILE (NAME = mydblog, FILEGROWTH = 0MB) GO
--turn on autogrowth USE master GO ALTER DATABASE mydblog MODIFY FILE (NAME = mydblog, FILEGROWTH = 10MB) GO
Also I need to know the t-sql for setting unrestricted growth on and off but I can not seem to find that.
Any help would be great.
We can not use enterprise manager so I'm planning to use osql thru a cmd prompt.
I have a SQL 2005 DB that its MDF file is growing at a rate of 1 GB per day, I currently have it set up to unrestricted growth by 500 MB. Should I increase that growth to 1 GB? what would the impact of this change be? what are best practices when it comes to setting up autogrowth for MDF and LDF files?

We have 2 dbs on our dw-server and the autogrowth values for both the data- and logfiles on both of these dbs changes about once a month. The data autogrowth value changes from 10megs to a percentage value between 3200 and 6400 and the log-file value changes from 10 percent to a percentage value between 3200 and 6400. Resulting in huge files and filling the drive.
Is it possible to change the Autogrowth option of a database is none is set? I recieved an alert saying that one of the databases has 39.9% of freespace. Having checked the properties of the database, I noticed that the Autogrowth option had not been used.
Whenever we restart the services on this one SQL server 2005 instance, the database autogrowth changes to grow by 2500%. We have to manually change the autogrowth of data file to some sane number. Has anyone faced this issue? We tried to put SP2 on but even that doesn't help. Any help would be appreciated
SQL2K5 SP1the autogrowth setting in one of my database's primary filegroup datafile keeps having the value of 12800%, which was originally set to100MB, everytime the service is restarted. the same occurs whenever irestore a backup of this database in our development environment.WTF? this issue does not happen to other filegroups. only on theprimary data file. whenever this happens the 4GB data file grows tomore than 70GB (even the math is incorrect) with about 95% of UNUSEDspace.has anyone else come accross this BS or anyone knows how to preventthis from happening? is MS aware of this not-so-funny joke?thanks
Today we received an issue on an application database on internal free space on the DB is 0% that was designed with as below

2 of the secondary data files had its autogrowth enabled to unrestricted with 200MB and 3 of the data files including primary had its Autogowth turned OFF. Application use is complaining that there is no internal freespace on the DB.
What fails to understand us is that when the Auto growth was already TURNED OFF on 3 data files ( 1 primary and 2 secondary ) still why was the application trying to increase the space on the .mdf and .ndf files; as well when the Autogrowth is TURNED ON on 2 of the secondary data files, why was the DB not able to expand these file groups when the autogrowth is already turned off on 3 of its other files.
What more data i need to ensure i submit an analysis to this.
I got an error that says to run DBCC CHECKTABLE, but I can't find what table it is. It gives the db id and page Id. I ran DBCC PAGE but I could not figure out what object is using that page. I posted the error and dbcc page results below. Also, Slot 74 is not missing. I could not find m_objId or AllocUnitId in any system tables . Also, I got the same error for this db several other times. When I ran dbcc checkdb I did not get any errors. This is a SQL 2012 db created by SharePoint.
Why is m_nextPage and m_prevPage = (0:0) ?
Does the m_type=3 change how a page is linked?
I found Type 3 – text mix page. A text page that holds small chunks of LOB values plus internal parts of text tree. These can be shared between LOB values in the same partition of an index or heap.
Error2 from log-- Message The Database ID 7, Page (1:14002), slot 74 for LOB data type node does not exist. This is usually caused by transactions that can read uncommitted data on a data page. Run DBCC CHECKTABLE.
I need to find the one day old(in last 24hrs) user details:
Below script i am using , but its not working as expected.
select name,createdate,* from syslogins where isntgroup=0 and isntname=1 and name not LIKE ('%sa-%') and name not LIKE ('%NT %') and createdate > DATEADD(hh,-24,GETDATE())
I'm trying to run an Insert on tables using a User Login but I keep getting the error above. I ran the insert using my own credentials and it worked. The User LOGIN in question has read & write permission to the database.
I am trying to find out CPU utilization from the history using process.%processor time. I am having dual core CPU with 2 numa nodes each having 16 logical cpus bind to it.
how to calculate the CPU utilization using perfmon.I tried to use SQL query which gives CPU history using SQL DMV, but I am unable to get the exact value. Because in between I have used the same querry to capture my CPU usage on the run day, the value on run day and the query which iam tryting to pull out is different. I am using the same query to pull the history data with providing the date.
-- Get CPU Utilization History (SQL Server 2008 and above)
DECLARE @ts BIGINT SELECT @ts =(SELECT cpu_ticks/(cpu_ticks/ms_ticks) FROM sys.dm_os_sys_info); SELECT SQLProcessUtilization AS [SQLServer_Process_CPU_Utilization], SystemIdle AS [System_Idle_Process], 100 - SystemIdle - SQLProcessUtilization AS [Other_Process_CPU_Utilization],
I need to find all the index and the creation date. I did cross apply of sys.objects & Sys.indexes on name column. I am getting some but the team is saying they created so many. Any other option to find Indexes and their creation date?
I have a string and i want to get only the numbers from right.
For example if I have the string Like '123756zxfggr123456' then it will show me only 123456 or if i have the string like '4vbz67xfggr123dfd' then it will show me only 123 or if i have the string like '123756zxfgg43r5' then it will show me only 5.
I got a function where it gives me all the numbers in a string but I don't need that
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.udf_GetNumeric (@strAlphaNumeric VARCHAR(256)) RETURNS VARCHAR(256) AS BEGIN DECLARE @intAlpha INT
[Code] ....
If I ran the select statement it gives me the result 111123456 but i want only 123456 or if i select
SELECT dbo.udf_GetNumeric('111zxfggr6587fhhfkwee') AS 'Num' it will show me 6587.
What would be the most economy solution for this WHERE, I see the code where we have covnert to 101 type on both sides of equation, which I tnink is not right.
So I'm thinking to put it on the left like this, just curiouse is this the best solution, I also heard that TSQL interpret between even better , here I'm really care abour performance.
declare @DATE DATE = '01/14/2014' --A: SELECT * FROM TT WHERE CAST( TT.DATETIME AS DATE) = @DATE
--B: SELECT * FROM TT WHERE TT.DATETIME >= @DATE and TT.DATETIME < DATEADD(D,1,@DATE)
I want to send an email two ice a day, from database. So I have planned to make a storedproce which will be called by a job (which will select some record from one table and put it in other table based on a flag) but I want to run it in a transaction so that if email is send successfully then only it should commit else it should rollback.
How can i find that "Mail queued" now i should commit.
I have a database of 900+ tables with around 3000 SPs, and views. Manually I reviewed few tables and found that tables are not referenced with FK and I applied few. There are lots of tables and SPs using them in join statement, Is there any way with which I can get each tables missing references, any DMV or other manual script which tells about this?
