SQL Server 2008 :: ALTER Database To Modify Log File
Jun 25, 2015
We are running into the following error while changing a column data type from nvarchar (1200) to varchar(8000)
"Msg 1105, Level 17, State 2, Line 1
Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.TBL1 '.'PK_CL_ID' in database 'Client01' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup.
The statement has been terminated."
Now tried to change the filegrowth of the log file to unlimited
ALTER DATABASE Client01
MODIFY FILE ( NAME = Client01_log, MAXSIZE = unlimited);
The query executes without error but I do not see the auto growth as unrestricted. It's still 2GB

I can run this command to make changes for 1 DB USE [master]
GO
ALTER DATABASE [DBName] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N'Name_log', FILEGROWTH = 10000KB )
GO
Is it possible to create a script which changes log file size to let's say 100MB for all DBs in all servers instead of running the above command by logging into each server? We have about 200 servers and close to 3000 DBs.

Hi guys,
If I have a temporary table called #CTE
With the columns
[Account]
[Name]
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
and I need to change the column type for the columns:
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
to integer, and set the column [RowID Table Level] as Identity (index) starting from 1, incrementing 1 each time.
What will be the right syntax using SQL SERVER 2000?
I am trying to solve the question in the link below:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2093921&SiteID=1
Thanks in advance,
Aldo.
I have tried the code below, but getting syntax error...
ALTER TABLE #CTE
ALTER COLUMN
[RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1),
[RowID Data Level] INT;
I have also tried:
ALTER TABLE #CTE
MODIFY
[RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1),
[RowID Data Level] INT;

Hello, I have gone to work for a new company and I have seen this company is running out of drive space on a daily basis. The DBA before me created huge databases. For example we have a database that it's created size is 103 GB. Only about 52 GB is ever needed. I know you can resize the tempdb but how about user databases? I have never tried this. Can this be done for a user database?
For tempdb
Start SQL from cmd line sqlserver -c -f -s%instance_name%
alter databse tempdb modify file
(name='tempdev',size=150)

I had to to relocate the database log file and I issued an Alter database command but by mistake I put a space in the file name as below. The space is at the beginning file name. Now I am unable get the database loaded to SQL Server. The database has 2 replications configured, so deleting and re-attaching the database means the replication needs to be re-configured. Is there an alternative way to issue a command to update the database FILENAME ? Not sure if this can be edited in master database (sys files).
ALTER DATABASE [User_DB]
MODIFY FILE (NAME = User_DB_log, FILENAME = 'I:SQLLogs User_DB_log.ldf')
GO

Hi all I was wondering how to do an ALTER command on a Table but without specifying Column Names but rather attempting to overwrite the Table itself with the new fields specified? For instance if I have Table_1 consisting of the following fields:
IDFirstNameSurname
Then use the following ALTER command:
Code Snippet
ALTER Table Table_1
(
ID Int,
FirstName VarChar(50)
)
This would then drop Surname from the Table and leave only ID and FirstName inside it. Is this possible? I have been searching google but can't seem to find what I am looking for.
Thank for comments + suggestions. Regards, Onam.

I have a SQL Server 2005 database file (a .mdf file) that I am trying to open in SQL Server Management Studio so I can add a field to a table, but I am unable to open the file. I can't say that I really understand how SQL Server handles these databases. I especially don't understand the "attaching" and "detaching" operations.
I am working in VB.Net 2008 now, but my background is with VB6 using the JET engine. It was just so straightforward using the JET engine, but seems so much more complicated with SQL Server. I am trying to use .mdf files the same way I used .mdb files. I want my application to find the database file, "attach to it", and let me manipulate it.
At one time I was able to open my database in Sql Server Management Studio and edit the design of the database. The application still works but I am no longer able to modify the database because I cannot attach to it in Management Studio.
Here is a big clue: the files are no longer in the special folder anymore, which is c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATA. I might have deleted the files, stupidly, thinking they were redundant. I still have the .mdf file (and the _log.ldf file) on my hard drive and the application can still open it, but when I try to use Management Studio to attach to the .mdf file, I get this error:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express
An error occurred when attaching the database(s). Click the hyperlink in the Message column for details.
here are the details:
Unable to open the physical file "c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATAHEALSExamsSQL.mdf". Operating system error 2: "2(The system cannot find the file specified.)". (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Indeed the file is not there, but why is Mgmt Studio looking there? Why doesn't it just open the file where it is? What can I do to get it back? I even copied the files to c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATA? I get the same error.
Here is another clue: In Management Studio, when I right-click Databases, and chose Attach, it brings up a dialog. There I click "Add" to get another dialog in which I will select a database, but before the dialog appears I get this error:
Locate Database Files - KURANT-WIN7SQLEXPRESS
C:UsersJason KurantDesktop
Cannot access the specified path or file on the server. Verify that you have the necessary security privileges and that the path or file exists.
If you know that the service account can access a specific file, type in the full path for the file in the File Name control in the Locate dialog box.

I want that I will allow a user only to select data from any object and only to alter an existing stored procedure or view. That user can not drop and create any stored procedure and view.
I can assign that user db_datareader role, grant view definition but if I grant alter permission, that user can create, alter and drop any stored procedure and view.

I have an .xlsx file where I need to import the data into a table. If there is not a way to do this, is there a way to import either a tab del file or different type of .csv file into the database?
Do not want to use the SSIS or import feature from SQL2008 as I tried to save the steps and running it wont work either.

Hi,
I'm trying to change the file extension of one of the database files of a big database that contains 10 years of EPOS data.
When this file was created, at the beginning of 2008, with the following script:
USE [Live]
ALTER DATABASE [Live] ADD FILE (NAME = 'Live_2008',
FILENAME = €˜E:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataLive_2008') TO FILEGROUP [2008]
the .ndf file extension was not added to the filename. So the file now has a file type of "File", instead of "SQL Server Secondary Data File"
I tried, in a test environment, to bring the database offline, change the filename to "Live_2008.ndf" and bring the database back online, but it gives me an error message saying that "cannot open the Live_2008 file", i'm guessing because it's looking for "Live_2008" and it finds "Live_2008.ndf" instead.
This file is quite big (5Gb) and I cannot afford to risk to lose any data.
The situation is complicated even further by the fact that it seems that a partition for 2008 does not exist.
How can I find out what data this file contains?
Is it going to be an issue if I leave the file like that?
Thanks

I inherited a system which has an index on a set of columns which allow more than 900 bytes of data in it. We know one of the fields can be shortened to shrink the potential key size below 900 bytes.
The problem is the table is about 120m rows, and the index currently on that column is seeked (sought?) on about 2.5m times a day.
At its simplest, I want to drop the existing index, alter the column to shrink the varchar size, and then rebuild the index on the newly shortened column.
On a smaller, less used table, I might just do this in outside of business hours and call it a day, but I'm concerned that this will take a long time and block a lot of operations.
1) IIRC, shrinking a column, unlike widening it, is much more expensive, even if there are no values which would actually end up trunacted. Is this right?
2) I did a few tests on some other smaller (2+ m) row tables and was still able to select data out of the table. I don't think this covered all the read scenarios, but are there known scenarios which would simply not work during an index build?
3) I haven't yet tried DML operations to the table while it's doing either the column update or an index build. what scenarios would or would not be blocked?

I have a well-structured but also very large binary data-set that is generated by a C++ application every five minutes. The data needs to be accessed by SQL applications. Since data is generated every five minutes, performance is key, both for write and read. The data set is about 500MB.If data is written to the file system, the write performance doesn't involve SQL server. For reading it, I have a CLR to read the portions of the data that I need based on offset and length. That works and is very fast. The problem is that data is stored in the file system, so it is not self-contained within the database.
A second option that I haven't explored yet, is to write the data into a table as VARBINARY(MAX). I would read the data using SUBSTRING with appropriate offset and length. Performance of SQL write/read of binary data of this size, and whether there is a third option I haven't thought off. I'm using SQL Server 2014.

I've been struggling with this issue,
1) Test--FolderName (This Test folder name should use as a database name for below sub folders)
a)Create--Sub Foldername
i)create.sql
b)Alter---Sub FolderName
i)Alter.sql
c)Insert---Sub FolderName
i)Insert.sql
[Code] .....
The scripts need to be run in order. So script one needs to run first folder in that sub folders after that next second folders etc..
Is there a way to create a bat file that automatically runs all these scripts, in order against, the databases they need to?
The databases that they need to run against have the name of the database at the beginning of the name of the folder.

Historically I've always written a VB script to copy a file from a sharepoint library. I don't like this method because I have to input a username & password in the script and maintain a config file.
Yesterday I was playing around with using a file system task. The sharepoint file has a UNC path so why not? I created a simple test package with a single file system task that copies the sharepoint file (addressed via UNC) to another network location. Package runs fine locally.
I try running on our utility server but am getting a "The file name [SHAREPOINT UNC PATH] specified in the connection was not valid" error. Package is running with a proxy on the server and the proxy account has the same permissions to the sharepoint site (so far as I can tell) as me.

Â I have already migrated all the logins, databases(40 databases), cubes etc. Â I really can't uninstall and reinstall Developer edition. Â How else can I upgrade/downgrade to switch from Datacenter edition to Developer edition. Â

Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.
