Hi, we have a SqlServer instance in production containing around 10
databases.
It has just been realised that all the db's are held on the small c:
partition with only a gig or so of space left.
On the server there is another partition and another hard disk both
will ample space (few hundred gigs).
What would be the best way of getting the data onto the other
partitions with minimal impact on the applications. Can we move the
primary data files for each db? Should we just create secondary data
files on the big partitions for all the db's? Is there a method of
moving all the data at once?
Any ideas on how we should approach this?
(ps we dont have control of the sqlserver its outsourced, so simpler
the better).
In my environment, there is maintenance plan configured on one of the server and while running DBCC checkdb on a database of size around 200GB, log file usage of tempdb is increasing and causing the maintenance job to fail.
What can I do to make the maintenance job run successfully, size of the tempdb database is only 50GB and recovery model is set to simple. It cannot be increased as the mount point on which it is residing is 50GB.
We are receiving following alerts frequently about 1:40 AM in the morning. We have backups running on 11:00 PM everyday and rebuild job running at 2:00 AM. Not sure the exact cause of this error.
Error:
The file group "PRIMARY" for the database "tempdb" in SQL instance "MSSQLSERVER" on computer "XYZ" is running out of space.

if we have two file group in a particular sql server 2000 database (c and d drive), and in that database suppose one particular table (location c drive) is growing very fast, i want to move it to D: drive file group. so how we can do it.
I am trying to insert 2 fields of about 9 million records into a table and i keep getting this message
Server: Msg 1101, Level 17, State 10, Line 1 Could not allocate new page for database 'TEMPDB'. There are no more pages available in filegroup DEFAULT. Space can be created by dropping objects, adding additional files, or allowing file growth. Server: Msg 1101, Level 17, State 1, Line 1 Could not allocate new page for database 'TEMPDB'. There are no more pages available in filegroup DEFAULT. Space can be created by dropping objects, adding additional files, or allowing file growth.
I have unrestricted file growth and over 200 mb of space left, what else can i do?
I have a question on database size, specifically, what difference would I expect in the size of a db (the space actually used for data, not indexes) if I have one single data device vs. multiple data devices spanned across different physical drives. I have 2 customers that have identical database tables (all columns are integers), customer A has 27 million rows and customer B has 36 million rows. If I do an sp_spaceused on the table, customer A's data takes up 9.7 gig, whereas customer B only takes up 3.2 gig, even though it has 9 million more rows. Statistics have been updated, so I'm confident the sp_spaceused is accurate on both databases.
The only differences I can see between the 2 databases is that customer B has 5 separate data files (6 gig each) for the database which are part of the Primary filegroup. These files are all on the D: drive, which is a partition on a RAID 5 array. Customer A has a single large data file (24 gig), which is also on a RAID 5 array.
We've got an internal database that replicates with another database server for our website.
Not all tables are replicated, some use merge and the others are snapshot based and published regularly to the public website facing server.
However, there's a lot of data (well, large textual data) that's being transferred and it seems to be generating massive log files that continue to grow and grow.
I'm fairly new to adminning an SQL Server box, so was wondering if anyone can tell me what the best way to keep it under control is? I've heard its possible to truncate the logs, effectively deleting any data that has already been processed by subscribing servers etc.?
As I said, I'm very much new to this and would really appreciate some guidance, if only to the right part of the SQL Server Books Online :)
I am currently SQL admin since our ordinary SQL folks are at summer vacation.
Yesterday SCOM alerted that File Group is running out of space on one not so critical database "The file group "PRIMARY" for the database "loganalys" in SQL instance "MSSQLSERVER" on computer "sqlserver2" is running out of space".
I logged in to the SQL server and checked the database in question. It is a very large DB with a size  of 577 GB.The storage on which the database files resides has 123 GB free space so that isn't the issue.
The database is set to autogrowth 1 MB at a time (unrestricted) so that doesn't seem to be the issue either.However, in the database properties under General, it says Space avaliable: 570 MB.
I guess that this may be the issue, that this is under some treshold for SCOM to alert on.I have looked at the other databases and they have everything between 0,25MB to 270MB space avaliable (they are all set to autogrowth 1 MB, unrestricted).
I am not sure what this means and if I have to do something about it?

Has anyone been able to run a DTS package from DOS. When I execute the dtsrun command it fires the process off in another Dos session and quickly closes. I know that SQL 7.0 worked ok. When it runs from dos it tell you when each step runs successfully or fails. I am Running Windows 2000 Server SP2 and SQL 2000 SP1. So the question is, is there any way to run the dtsrun utility from dos so you can see what is going on?
I've installed sql2005 on a windows 200 server. now the requirement is to install sql2000 also on the same server.
Would like to know if any have experienced and type of problem on having both sql on same server. and if there is any impact on installing sql2000 after sql2005.
When you are inserting/altering a table and you expect values to be added, should you see the number of rows affected at the bottom of the query screen as the time goes by or not?
I€™m having a few issues with a server that keeps grinding to a halt and having frequent system issues requiring a reboor. It is Sql 2000 32 bit enterprise edition running 64 bit 2003 server. Im not sure of the impact of having the AWE switch set for this server because even though it has 8Gb of RAM it is only using 262Mb and is used extensively. It is set to dynamically configure sql server memory with a minuimum memory of 3075 and maximum of 6144
Is it worth me removing the AWE option or are there any more tweaks I can make to make this system run more effectively?
How to get the list of instance of SQL Server 7.0/2000 running on the local machine inside my domain... I need to prepare the list of all sql instances.. pls help if possible to find details using sql query.
I´m currently developing an import/export package in SSIS. I recently realized that this package is supposed to be run on a SQL Server 2000 instance, and I have no clue if this will work... I´m pretty new to SQL Server, but I now that DTS from 2000 ws replaced by SSIS in 2005, and the command-line dtsrun replaced by dtexec.
So my question: Will I be able to run a SSIS package on SQL Server 2000, and how would I do that?
I have three systems that running different version of SQL sever.. 1. my notebook - SQL Server Express 2005 2. my WS - SQL Server 2005 Standard 3. my server - SQL Server 2000
I installed SSEUtil to all of them and only the notebook works.. I read the Read me but it doesn't help me resolve my problem so I hope someone from this forum can help me out..
The problem: Running sseutil on system 2. and 3. get this error, but not on 1. SSEUtil An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) Additional information: The service 'MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS' is not installed.
I'm trying to configure SQL server 2000 (standard edition) to send e-mail on a Small Business Server 2003. There's a great article on how to do this on a SBS 2000 server (KB304967), but it does not apply to SBS 2003. Can anyone point me to a article or white paper on how to configure SQL on a SBS 2003 server to send e-mail. Thanks.
I have a setup where I need to replicate the database which is actually subscribing from another database. The current setup is all in SQL Server 2000. I need to now setup a Distrbutor on a SQL server 2005 and publish the database using this distributor to another server on SQL server 2000.
Has anybody done this before. If yes what will I need to check. Can you please let me know :-
1) SQL Server 2000 which SP should be installed to support this enviroment.
2) SQL Server 2005 which SP should be installed to support this environment.
Where can I further educate myself on this subject?
Right off from the start I would assume that installing SQL Server 2000 or 2005 on Windows Server 2003 that is set up as a web server hosting a website would be against "best practices." Is my assumption right?
Common sense tells me to not to host a website on a pc that is also hosting my database.
Hi all,After merged two partitions into one (C: and D: into one C:) byusing Partition Magic, I can't start SQL Server 2000 which waspreviously installed in both C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80and D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLThe original files in D: (every thing in D: actually) are now copyedin C:Data folder.Other than re-install SQL Server in C:, is it possible to restoredata(files) from D:Data ?Mank thanks to any suggestions/hints.Kind Regards,Bob
Ive read on some pages that it is in fact possible to install and run SQL Server 2000 on Vista. In my university, SQL Server 2000 is still used to teach us about databases and how to administrate them. The computers run Windows 2000 Professional. I need to be able to use 2000 so I can not only have compatibility but also know the steps and all possible conditions and solutions to problems. Would installing and running SQL Server 2000 on Vista be possible or am I better off using 2005? Is there much difference between these 2 versions?
I'm running 2000 databases in a 2005 server. Can anyone tell me if there are adverse effects in doing this? As I understand it, the 2005 performance benefits are available to databases running as 2000(Ver80) But some of the new futures may not be available.. And any documentation from Microsoft/white papapers regarding this subjects are appreciated..
Hi Everyone,Apparently, I was being asked on a question, "Why don't we procure adesktop PC to run MS SQL Server 2000 rather than a buying a server?".From a Management point-of-view, buying a desktop PC is much cheaperthan a server. However, I just wanted to understand that is it aviable solution given the database size is something around 200 GB?Equipping with more memory, more storage and a more powerful CPU on adesktop PC could really taking up the role to support the DBMS?Besides this "sensitive" costing concerns, what will be othersdifference in running the SQL Server 2000 on the two differenthardware architecture? For example, IO rate, reliability, RAID-1support, performance, … etc.(Note: The operating system is Microsoft Windows 2000 EnterpriseEdition)Regards,Ambrose
Can I run an instance of SQL Server 2000 in SQL Server 2005?
I was planning on restoring a backup of my SQL Server 2000 db to SS 2005, but keep the SS 2000 configuration. The main reason for doing so is to maintain the DTS packages I have in SS 2000 because my understanding is that these are not easily duplicated in SS 2005 Integration Services.
We are running SQL 7 on a Windows NT Server. If you copy a 25Mb filefrom this machine to a W2K server, the file copy takes over 5 minuteson a 100Mpbs switched network.Copying the same file to another NT server takes only seconds, andcopying the same file to the W2K server from the 2nd NT server, (whichis not running SQL) takes only seconds also.Has anyone any ideas as to why file copying between this machine and aW2K one will take so long. It is repliacted on 5 further w2K machines.

The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server. There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'. I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> However, I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used: <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" /> but this doesn't work either.
Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated Thanks...
When SQL Runs out of space, I find that once you clear some more space on the drive, a reboot is necessary otherwise web applications will time out once there is a substantial amount of load on the server. Has anyone else find this to be the case and if so Im just curious why this is so?
