I am a beginner with sql and I have been inputting data (txt files) to my database and now have approached 4GB in size and it will not let me expand any further on the primary file group. My 'boss' said that sql has no size. I am using desktop
View 4 RepliesHi,
i use this script that show me the size of each table and do the sum of all the table size.
SELECT
X.[name],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[rows]), 1), '.00', '') AS [rows],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[reserved]), 1), '.00', '') AS [reserved],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[data]), 1), '.00', '') AS [data],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[index_size]), 1), '.00', '') AS [index_size],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[unused]), 1), '.00', '') AS [unused]
FROM
(SELECT
CAST(object_name(id) AS varchar(50)) AS [name],
SUM(CASE WHEN indid < 2 THEN CONVERT(bigint, [rows]) END) AS [rows],
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, reserved)) * 8 AS reserved,
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, dpages)) * 8 AS data,
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, used) - CONVERT(bigint, dpages)) * 8 AS index_size,
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, reserved) - CONVERT(bigint, used)) * 8 AS unused
FROM sysindexes WITH (NOLOCK)
WHERE sysindexes.indid IN (0, 1, 255)
AND sysindexes.id > 100
AND object_name(sysindexes.id) <> 'dtproperties'
GROUP BY sysindexes.id WITH ROLLUP) AS X
ORDER BY X.[name]
the problem is that the sum of all tables is not the same size when i make a full database backup.
example of this is when i run this query against my database i see a sum of 111,899 KB that they are 111MB,but when
i do full backup to that database the size of this full backup is 1.5GB,why is that and where this size come from?

I am trying to resize a database initial log file from 500M to 2M. I€™m using€?
ALTER DATABASE <DBNAME> MODIFY FILE ( NAME = <DBLOGFILENAME, SIZE = 2 ) "
And I'm getting "MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size." I tried going into the database properties and setting the log file to 2M, but it doesn€™t keep the changes.
Any help with this process?
Hi,
I am using
exec sp_helpdb
go
dbcc sqlperf(logspace) for
getting database size and log size. Is this gives the correct
database size and log size or Is there any other way to get the logsize and database size by means of query analyzer.
Thanks in Advance.

I'm getting this error while trying to insert records into a SQL Server Compact Edition database. I have pasted my connection string that was used when creating the database as well as for accessing that same database from my Windows application.
Thanks for any help any of you can give!
Data Source=OnTheGo.sdf;Encrypt Database=True;Password=<password>;Max Database Size=4091
Hello,
I am developing a smart device application with Visual Studio .Net 2005 and SQL Server Compact Edition database. And also using merge replication to synchronize the data from the mobile device to the SQL Server.
My database size is around 350MB. So when I am trying to synchronize this is the error message that I get.
" The database file is larger than the configured maximum database size. The setting takes effect on the first concurrent database connection only.[Required Max Database size ( in MB; 0 if unknown)=129].
I tried changing the Max database size in the connection string and my connection string looks as follows and still did not have any luck.
connstr= "Data Source=Storage CardItems.sdf;Max Database Size=500;"
Any help regarding this would be appreciated.
Thank you

We have a SQL server database most time for read only because the data source comes from another database( which is not SQL server database, now it is about 2G). Every day we have a job running as following:
Step 0. extra the data from another database, and create plain text files for each table for BCP job.
Step 1. drop all of the index
Step 2. truncate all of the tables.
Step 3. BCP in all of the data from plain text file.
Step 4. create all of the index again
Step 5. shirnk the database.
Everything runs fine but the database grows 1 G from yesterday's database. I am sure we do not have so much data entry in one day.
Any one can give some suggestion?
I wonder if I need do shirnk the database or shirnk the data file before create the index.
How can know how much size for all of the index file?
Thank you very much.

Is there a stored procedure that returns the current size of a database, and the maximum size of a database whose growth property IS NOT set to unlimited?
TIA,

Just wondering if anyone knew the maximum size of a database that SQL Server 7 can handle.

When I run sp_spaceused on my database it give me a total size of 258MB
The backup of this database reads 226MB
The Properties screen tells me that my data is a total of 278MB
I am running SQL 7.0 .
Why am I getting different sizes?
I have a simple question, why Am I running out of space with my current 3.5GB database, I am constantly expanding it, yet when I dump the database nightly the dump is just around 1.5GB?

Hi all,
We are using sql6.5. srvpack 3.
I noticed that one of our database was maxed out, and increased the size of the device and then increased the size of the database.
when I checked the database it is still showing the database is maxed out. I did it twice, it still shows that the space has been used.
Can anyone please explain to me why this is happening and how to get the actual space measurement.
Thanks in advance.
After we ran sp_spaceused on one database, the size for the UNUSED column is a negative number -1324KB. Can someone explain how this could happen? I really appreciate.

I need to check the log size of my database periodically and send a notification if the size exceeds 8 GB. I want to set this up as job that runs every 30 minutes or so and page the DBA if it exceeds the above said limit. Can anyone give me the command which can be used to obtain the logsize into a variable. I am new to SQL and would appreciate your expert advise.
Thanks,
Marcus

I have a database that is almost 1.55 GB in size according to the database properties window.
However I checked the size of all the tables and indexes using the stored procedure 'sp_spaceused' and the sysindexes table and the total size of all tables and indexes is only 162 Mb.
Does anyone know why the database is so big, and how I may be able to reduce the size of it?

what size of database for express
View 7 Replies View RelatedI know I have read that MSDE had a 2GB limit on database size and that Express should have one on 4GB, but I am by 'accident' ended up with a database with an .mdf of 4400MB and .log 2000MB in my Express SP1 ... when will it stop me ... and how ?

This one's tricky. You have to use calculus and imaginary numbers for this. You know, eleventeen, thirty-twelve and all those.
I'm the web designer for my company and as a result I'm also the server administrator. SO I'm new to MS SQL and I had a question.
We have MS SQL 2000 and we have a listserv database that's 3.5 GB. When I use Enterprise Manager > right-click on the db > Properties > Data Files tab > the file properties are set to Automatically grow file and the Maximum file size is set to Unrestricted file growth. But on the General tab it says "Space available: 0.00 MB". We definitely have hard disk space (100+ GB) on the server and we haven't received any error messages about not enough space. Also, the other databases have some amount of MB in the Space available field, only the listserv db says 0.
I've found other posts similar to this on this forum but I couldn't find an answer that made sense to me. Do I increase the space available? Am I supposed to run a stored procedure? I'm really new to stored procedures and other SQL operations so please go easy on me
Cheers,
Brian

Hi Friends
I need your expert advise on this one.
We've a database that's going on huge on size .most of this size contributes one table that contains patient images. we reached a point our backup become so huge to do anything(for offline testing for e.g.)
