View 4 RepliesHello,
I have a SQL Server that generates a reasonable amount of log data in the SQL Event logs. I'm finding it difficult to use this data as the individual log files become rather large i.e. several hundred MB before they rotate.
What I would like to achieve: Set a constraint like: Each log will rotate when it reaches [XX]Mb in size and the files will be kept through [Y] rotations.
I can't seem to find how to do this through Enterprise Manager. I've had a decent look through google and there seems to be no info on this forum....can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks for your time.

Dear forum users,
I am a newbie in using MS SQL server with analysis services.
There seems to be no 'cross-validation' tool in MS SQL
which is frequently used in data mining and even statistics.
Is there anyone having similar difficulties?
Is there any solution like a small scripts to divide
the given dataset with multiple folds?
Your valuable comments and feedbacks would be appreciated.

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.
one of my database data file is 100 GB and the log file is 500 GB.DB is in full recovery model and the transaction logs happen once in 6 hours.Even then, the Database log file isn't reducing in size.

I am working in Sql server 2005 sp2.
The table describes the tire and also the history of movement of the tire from one tire_position to another on same or a different truck. I need to capture the rotation of the tire. Rotation can be captured from changes in tire_position or changes in Truck_ID columns.
Rotation frequency is 0 if both tire_position and truck_ID stay thesame till the tire is scrapped (disposition_to = C )
If only one of them changes, rotation frequency is count the number of times it changes
If both change, rotation frequency is the maximum of the count of the two. So if truck_ID changes 2 times and tire_position changes 3 times. The rotation frequency is 3.
Obviously, if both change same number of times, rotation frequency can be coun anyone of them.
So I need to have a new column added to this table for the rotation frequency.
Checking them manually, the rotation frequency for the each serial_number is: 2361 is 4, 4853 is 3, 3007 is 1, 2743 is 2, 3949 is 2, 3995 is 2, 5666 is 1.
Please let me know If something is not clear.
Thanks
I have one .mdf and two .ndf files on the same drive. The .mdf file size =275GB, one .ndf file size = 300GB and other .ndf file size = 135GB. Is this normal to have 3 different file size? if not what can I do to fix this? I don't have option to make all files to initial size equal to 300GB as a .ndf.If I have to add a .ndf file (in case of running out the above drive), what initial file size should I set up for new file on new drive? And how data gets distributed across all 4 files (including new .ndf on different drive)?

For example can I display it rotated 90 degrees left so that it reads from the bottom towards the top of the page? All I can find is left/right alignment and top/middle/bottom alignment. I want to rotate the text.
Thanks.
I need to load the latest csv files from file server , The files are placed in a folder called -

I am working with SSIS package. It executes everyday.
It has the file system task. It moves the production backup from one server to the different server. In today's execution the package failed with the following error

View 0 Replies View RelatedI have a CSV file with roughly 6 million rows. The file is unstructured; that is, some rows have 5 fields, others have 15, and there are as many 50 fields in one row.
I am using bulk insert to read the entire file into a table in database, with each row being a database record. With that, I have one column that contains a row of comma delimited fields. All fields are character string and I want to find a quick way of parsing each row and placing each comma-delimited value in a column. For example:
CREATE TABLE MyTable
(
CSVString varchar(1000),
C1 varchar(20),
C2 varchar(20),
...
C50 varchar(20),
)
Column CSVString contains the a CSV row (I don't know how many filelds (no. of commas + 1) in the row, but if the row contains 10 fields, I need to populate columns C1-C10. If the row has 15 fields, I populate columns C1-C15.
How can I do this in a very efficient way? I tried CTE but performance was not very good.
I have a filename as follows:
123_20151016_3152_AIRHtest1.txt
What I would like to extract from this fill name is the "3152" only. What is the correct way to do this?
I have this bcp

which throws the data into a csv, but the issue is I also need to compress the file down in a .rar file,
can this be done in a SP while still executing the above bcp ?
Hello I was very happy to have found the thread http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=491642&SiteID=1 that explained how to get the text to display Bottom-to-Top/Left-to-Right.
The solution was to setup a function that creates a bitmap the text to be displayed.
This works well and correctly displays the text image in HTML and PDF. (Excel, XML and CVS won't export backgroud images).
To extend the solution to wrap text it requires a few additional lines...
Code Snippet
Function LoadImage3(ByVal stText As String)
stText = stText.PadRight(10)
stText = stText.PadLeft(10)
Dim iMaxLength as Integer = 180
Dim iMaxWidth as Integer = 180
Dim f As Drawing.Font = New Drawing.Font("Arial",7, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point)
Dim bmpImage As New Drawing.Bitmap(1, 1)
Dim MyGraphics As Drawing.Graphics = Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(bmpImage)
Dim imageSize As Drawing.SizeF = MyGraphics.MeasureString(stText, f)
Dim i As New System.Drawing.Bitmap(iMaxWidth, iMaxLength)
Dim g As Drawing.Graphics = Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(i)
Dim rectF1 As New Drawing.Rectangle(-(iMaxWidth/2),-(iMaxLength/2),iMaxWidth,iMaxLength )
g.FillRectangle(Drawing.Brushes.White, 0, 0, i.Width, i.Height)
g.TranslateTransform((iMaxWidth/2), (iMaxLength/2) )
g.RotateTransform(270.0F) 'flip the image 270 degrees
g.DrawString(stText, f,Drawing.Brushes.Black, rectF1)
g.DrawRectangle(New Drawing.Pen(Drawing.Color.White, 1), rectF1)
g.Flush()
Dim stream As IO.MemoryStream = New IO.MemoryStream
Dim bitmapBytes As Byte()
i.Save(stream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg) 'Create bitmap
bitmapBytes = stream.ToArray
stream.Close()
i.Dispose()
Return bitmapBytes

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm presented with an issue where by I need to reclaim a fair bit of unused space currently sat in the primary data file for my database. I don't want to run DBCC SHRINKDATABASE as we all know this could potentially have a some serious negative effects relating to index fragmentation.
So, how do I get the free space out of the data file? - I've decided to:
1. Add new new file group
2. Add a clustered index for all tables on the new file group
3. Shrink the primary file group as much as possible (hopefully giving me the free space back)
4. Drop the newly created clustered indexes for all tables
There are no clustered indexes currently for any of the tables!, so me temporarily creating/dropping one shouldn't be an issue. Are there any other ways I can get the free space back to the OS?
I am getting following error:
"The log in this backup set terminates at LSN 9566000024284900001, which is too early to apply to the database. A more recent log backup that includes LSN 986000002731000001 can be restored."
If I am missing to restore previous log backup file, how to find which LSN mapped to which log backup file (.trn file name)? Another word looking at LSN can we tell which log backup file is missing?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any danger with renaming the LOGICAL file names behind the database?
There are a bunch of databases that were restored copies and all of them have the same logical database file name. I'm trying to get some growth data so I want the logical files to be different (prefer them to match the actual database name) so I can more easily identify them.
For instance:
database_id name type_desc name physical_name
1 DLMdb1 ROWS DLMDB1 D:dlmdb1.mdf
1 DLMdb1 LOG DLMDB1_log E:dlmdb1.ldf
2 DLMdb2 ROWS DLMDB1 D:dlmdb2.mdf
2 DLMdb2 LOG DLMDB1_log E:dlmdb2.ldf
3 DLMdb3 ROWS DLMDB1 D:dlmdb3.mdf
3 DLMdb3 LOG DLMDB1_log E:dlmdb3.ldf
Am I safe to rename the logical names? I can't think of anything that references those logical file names that I would be breaking [backups, applications].
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
