I have a SQL Server 2008 R2 database.
I have modified the autogrowth configuration several times. The strangest thing... they keep reverting back to the original configuration.
I received alerts from a couple of the production servers last night stating that the log file is running out of space. So, I took some log backups and shrunk those files. However, I would like to find out what made the log grow like that. After all, I have t-log backups scheduled every 30 minutes.Is there a way I can find out the reason behind the log growth?

I am getting the error The transaction log for database 'ReplicationDB' is full due to 'LOG_BACKUP'.log_reuse_wait_desc from sys.databases is showing logbackup
The database is subscribed database. We configured transactional replication. But the transactional replication is getting errors and failed. Is there relation b/n this replication failures and log growth in subscriber db?
Any good starting point to understand for a specific db, how many max VLFs are good to have so that it does not cause long startup or backup times?
Also, I need some calculation so that I can identify a best growth parameter I will setup for each database ?
I'm seeing the below msg in errorlog and curious to know the changes (right sizing/growth) to be done? As of now 100 MB of log file growth value is set (refer: [URL] ....)
Database BizTalkMsgBoxDb has more than 1000 virtual log files which is excessive. Too many virtual log files can cause long startup and backup times. Consider shrinking the log and using a different growth increment to reduce the number of virtual log files.
Does there a way or script to find the rows, space used by the specific tables based on every year.

I'm currently using SQL Server 2005. Before I have set my database on unrestricted auto growth. But today, I have noticed that the Log file has been set to limit its growth to 2,097,152 MB. I have 160GB space for my log files, I just want to maximize the space for logs in my hard drive.
When I try to change the settings back to auto growth it still keeps on returning to its previous setting it is still set on 2,097,152 MB. What I did was :
Right Click on the Database - Properties - Files - Click the (...) - set the auto growth option to unrestricted - Click Ok
But when I checked log file, it is still set on 2,097,152MB.
Can some one help me change the settings of my Database.
I am trying to create sql script which will check all databases file size and then depend on the size set up auto growth different sizes with MB.
for example, sql server has 50 databases with different sizes, i would like to change auto growth all databases with different autogrowth size MB.
 File size      Data Autogrowth  Log AutogrowthÂ
 0MB - 250MB          25MB            25MB
250MB - Â Â 1GBÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250MBÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 250MB

Databases - Dynamic Log File Growths Remaining Alarm
Dynamic Log File Growths Remaining alarm becomes active when a non fixed size log file in any database is in danger of running out of space to grow. It is raised when a log file is almost full and the file cannot automatically grow enough to relieve the problem.
We have our databases with Enable Autogrowth (in Megabytes), and then a Maximum File Size (Limited to a MB value).
Example: If one of the database logs (or possibly filegroup primary) picks up another extent and is about 5 extents (arbitrary value) away from running out of growth room, an alert would be sent to an email address/profile.
P.S. Yes, there are multiple databases on this one instance and the script should loop to run through all of them.

I have been tasked with moving our SQL server estate onto new 64bit SQL 2008 Virtual servers on a VM base. Each Virtual server will be attached to our SAN that i will have no control over. Do i ask for multiple LUNs pretending that there is a COS), Etemp), FData) and Glog) disk structure or do I just present a very big space as a single C: drive and let it go.We are consolidating lots of old physical servers onto fewer (more powerful) virtual servers (according to the VM and SAN administrators)
1. Configure your SAN properly
2. Don't overallocate shared resource
I have got problems with installation of a default instance on SQL Server 2008 on Vista Home Premium. During the step of Server Configuration you should enter UserName and password for each service. I do not know what user name to type. I tried every possible combination but the outcome is always the same - after typing usernames and passwords, installation suddenly fails without casting any exception. I'm not sure if I do something wrong (wrong User Name or Password) or is it a problem with installation application or with OS. Please, help.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWe need to perform some maintainence on our database server which may take quite some time. We have a standby server which we constantly apply logs to.
We are planning to recover the standby server and use it while the production server is being maintained.
My question is how to I get back to using the original production machine.
The only way I can think of is to do a full backup on the standby machine,
do some transaction log backup and then restore these on the original production machine.
Is there any way to use the full backup from the original production machine and well as logs from the standby machine. When I try this I get the message that the database has not been rolled forward far enough.
In summary:
1. Backup full database on Prod Server
2. Restore full database on Standby Server
3. Backup transaction log (1) from Prod Server
4. Restore transaction log (1) on Standby Server
5. Recover database on Standby Server
6. Make modifications on Standby Server
7. Backup transaction log (2) on Standby Server
8. Restore full database on Prod Server
9. Restore transaction log (1) on Prod Server
10. Attempt to restore transaction log (2) fails.
Hi I've got a sql server 2000 database that when running is runnign fine. About 9 months ago I altered one of the stored procedures and ever since then when the machine is rebooted the stored procedure is "reverted" back to the old sproc... ???

I have two inline selects against a table with a nonclustered columnstore on SQL 2014 (12.0.2000). Both execute in batch mode and when I inner-join the two, they continue to execute in batch mode. When I cross join them, one executes in row mode. Below is some SQL to simulate the issue.
-- The purpose of this script is to demonstrate that
-- two queries against a columnstore index that each execute in batch mode
-- will continue to execute in batch mode when inner joined.
-- However, one of the queries will execute in row mode when cross-joined.
-- Create function to return 0 to n rows
IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.IntCount') IS NOT NULL

I am setting up Merge Replication via the Web and I get this error when i try to sync. Let me give you some background.
I wrote a small windows test app to test merge replication, in which i am using RMO to accomplish the replication. This works. It syncs every time. I then copied the "sync" code from the winform application and created a Windows Service in which i placed "sync" code. The sync code did not change other than adding the additional following four lines:
_mergeAgent.InternetUrl = _internetURL;
_mergeAgent.InternetLogin = _internetLogin;
_mergeAgent.InternetPassword = _internetPassword;
_mergeAgent.InternetTimeout = _internetTimout;
where the internet url is https://ipaddress/virtualdirectory/replisapi.dll
I have been working with this for a while now trying to figure out why this works (on the same machine) in a winforms app but not through the web (via a windows service).
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

I have just finished installing SQL 2005 Ent Edition on Win 2000 Adv Server, SQL2005 SP2, and SP2 Hotfix KB934458. After the installation, I could see and configure all services via SQL Configuration Manager and SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tools. This worked for a couple of days and now both configuration tools no longer detect SQL2005 components. SQL Server Surface Area Configuration issued an error that said "No SQL Server 2005 components were found on specified computer. Either no components are installed, or you are not an administrator on this computer. (SQLAC)". SQL Configuration Manager did not list any installed services. I don€™t know what caused this.

Question:: I know there is a switch to take a database that was upgraded to 7.0 back to 6.5. How does it work? If I upgrade a database and for 2 weeks input
data and then decide I need to go back to 6.5 -- do I lose the data from those 2 weeks or does it revert all information back to 6.5
For the second time in two days, a completely rewritten procedure (using "alter procedure" statement) has reverted to an earlier version after hours of testing and confirmation. In both cases, there was 4-6 hours from successful final testing to discovery of the "reversion."
Since sql server has no memory of earlier procedure versions, I can only conclude:
1) someone restored an earlier version of the db (log says no)
2) someone acidentally ran a script for the old procedure (no evidence for that)
3) the database crashed and was rolled back as part of restore (but alter procedure is a ddl and, as such, is auto-commited so it cannot be rolled back)
None of these 3 possibilities seems to have occurred. Is there another possibility I'm missing?
The following list of actions leads to a corrupt database on SQL Server 2005.
Create a database snapshot
Drop a table in the database
Backup the database
Restore from backup
Revert to the snapshot
I'm not entirely surprised that it results in a corruption, what is surprising is that I can revert from a snapshot after restoring. There needs to be some kind of check to prevent reverting to a snapshot in a case like this. Until SQL Server prevents you from doing it, I'd recommend a best practice is to delete all snapshots before you restore a database so that you cannot do this by accident.
I have installed MSSQL 2005 on my D: drive of my windows 2003 server, but now need to install MSSQL version 2000 b/c I realized I have one less license than I thought I had. I have build no databases, only the default information. Can I install another instance (being the 2000 instance) on the same drive? If I can't, can I install it on the Crive without a lot of issues???? Or would it be easier to remove 2005 and just start from scratch? The sql version is 9.0. Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated.!!!!!

We are running SQL Server 7.0 SP2, and are experiencing the following out-of-
space error message:
"Could not allocate new page for database 'FooBar'.
There are no more pages available in filegroup SECONDARY.
Space can be created by dropping objects, adding additional files,
or allowing file growth."
Needless to say, but the the database is set for 10% unlimited autogrowth and there
IS available space in the partition where the filegroup resides.
Any ideas as to why this is happening? What is SQL Server's algorithm for allocating
space when growing a database? Must it satisfy the request in one 'extent' and the
cause of our problem is that our disk is fragmented?
Thanks in advance.

I have a SQL Server 2005 SP2 instance and I detach/attach a database to the system and changed the file growth parameter from 10% to 100MB. Now when I look at the file growth parameter, it is showing 12800% instead of 100MB. I did some research and I found out this is an issue with SQL Server since MSSQL 2000. Is there a way to fix this issue using ALTER DATABASE or some other SQL command?
Thanks in advance for the help.
A log file size of a production database has been increase from 4gb to 150 gb initial size.Now i want to find when it will grow & how much it grow & which transaction is responsible for this.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm aware of the issues with sizing your logfile growth size too low (causing too many VLFs, etc). But I haven't seen much about the datafile side of it.
Are there any benchmarks specifically on setting datafile growth so low (on databases 1-100Gb in size)? Are there circumstances in well utilized servers where that might be warranted?
