I am altering a table ( changing the data type to varchar (8000) from nvarchar (1500) ) with 352929 rows. I get the transaction log full error.
The database is in FULL RECOVERY model. I changed the recovery model to SIMPLE and performed the alter but I still run into error.
This morning, when I look at my error logs, the following appears;
Msg 0, Level 11, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
Msg 0, Level 20, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
If I remove the contains() part from the SQL Stored Procedure, it stills runs. So, in other words, suddenly contains() started making the query crash.
I'm running SQL Server 2008 R2.
I am getting an error importing a csv file both using SSIS and SSMS. The csv is comma delimited with quotes for text qualifiers. The file gets partially loaded and then gives me an error stating The column delimiter for column "MyColumn" was not found. In SSIS it gives me the data row which is apparently causing the problem but when I look at the file in a text editor at the specific row identified the file has the comma delimiter and it looks fine. I am using SQL Server 2008.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have a process that failed with the following error message. The SQL server error messages also said the Transaction log was full and there was not enough disc space.
Strangely, when I checked all the drives on the server, there was plenty of free space, the smallest amount free on one drive, where SQL server is located was 20GB. I am confused.
I backed up the DB to another server and deleted a lot of the transaction logs and now the drive has 30GB and is okay.
Does anyone know how the transaction log fills up? Can I change a setting somewhere to increase the maximum size of the transaction log? Or maybe change the location where it is saved to another drive? Or have it automatically cleared out every once in a while?
Any of your input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Rodney

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having problems with syntax errors being generated from the search clause of a full-text search. When the syntax error is raised, the batch and transaction are stopped. Placing the search within a SQL Try/Catch allows the batch to continue, but the transaction is uncommitable.
I need to trap and handle the full-text search syntax error then control the commit or rollback of the transaction based on other transactions.
Below is a simplified version of the type of logic I am working with. The XACT_STATE goes to -1 because of the syntax error generated by the full-text search. This forces a rollback of the whole transaction.
Declare @sSearch NVarChar(50)
/* @sSearch is passed by a web page and could come back empty or with an invalid Full-Text search clause*/
Begin Transaction
Begin Try
Print XACT_STATE()
Select *
/*The table 'KnowledgeBase' is a table with a populated Full-Text Search*/
From Containstable(KnowledgeBase,*,@sSearch)
End Try
Begin Catch
Print XACT_STATE()
Print 'Number- ' + Convert(VarChar,ERROR_NUMBER()) + ', ' +
'Severity- ' + Convert(VarChar,ERROR_SEVERITY()) + ', ' +
'State- ' + Convert(VarChar,ERROR_STATE()) + ', ' +
'Message- "' + ERROR_MESSAGE() + '"'
End Catch
/*Some other logic would be here*/

How do I change a computed column using the ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN... command?
I have been looking in the SQL Server Help Files, but I cant seem to find the syntax to change the name of a column name..?
Can it be done? if so, what is the syntax?
How do I alter a column check constraint?
I have the table:
CREATE TABLE Mytable(
mykey integer,
mycol integer
CHECK(mycol BETWEEN 1 AND 2)
PRIMARY KEY(mykey))
How do I change the constraint to
CHECK(mycol BETWEEN 0 AND 2)
...without losing any data?
Thanks!

According to the MSDN, in SQL Server 2000
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have some columns of data in SQL server that are of NVARCHAR(420)format but they are dates. The dates are in DD/MM/YY format. I want tobe able to convert them to our accounting system format which isYYYYMMDD. I know the format is strange but it will make things easierin the long run if all of the dates are the same when working betweenthe 2 different databases. Basically, I need to take a look at theyear portion (with a SUBSTRING function maybe) to see if it is greaterthan 50 (there will not be any dates that are less than 1950) and ifit is concatenate 19 with it (ex. 65 = 1965). Then, concatenate themonth and day from the rest to form the date we need in NUMERIC(8).So, a date of January 17, 2003 (currently in the format of 17/01/03)would become 20030117. In VB, the function I would write is somethinglike the following:/*Dim sCurrentDate as StringDim sMon as stringDim sDay as StringDim sYear as StringDim sNewDate as StringsCurrentDate = "17/01/03"sMon = Mid(sCurrentDate, 4, 2)sDay = Mid(sCurrentDate, 1, 2)sYear = Mid(sCurrentDate, 7, 2)If sYear < 50 ThensYear = "20" & sYearElseIf sYear > 50 ThensYear = "19" & sYearEnd ifsNewDate = sYear & sMon & sDay*/I was thinking of doing this in a Stored Procedure but am really rustywith SQL (it's been since college).The datatype would end up being NUMERIC(8). How I would write it if Inew how to write it would be: grab the column name prior to theprocedure, create a temp column, format the values, place them intothe temp column, delete the old column, and then rename the tempcolumn to the name of the column that I grabbed in the beginning ofthe procedure. Most likely this is the only way to do it but I have noidea how to go about it.

I make two full backups on Oct 1 and Oct 10. I want to restore the server to a state in Oct 5. So I just do as follows:
1.Perform a transaction log backup on the server on Oct 23. I have never backup transaction log in the past.
2. Restore the server with Oct 1 full backup with NORECOVERY option.
3.Try to restore to the point at Oct 5 12:00, with the transaction log.
But the restore fails and SQL Server said the transaction log does not contain the point. The point is too early. Why? Also my .LDF file is about 13G, but the transaction log backup is only 200MB. Why?
I am basically trying to update a table which reflects account transactions. Accounts get paid in full but occasionally balance payments can be reversed and I want to update the table to show this - I need to show which period the account was previously paid in full.I've created a simplified version of the scenario and below are a couple of examples of things I've tried that do not work. I understand why they do not work but I'm struggling to figure out how to update the 'PeriodPrevPaidInFull' field.

I'm creating Indexed view by JOINING multiple tables and trying to create FULL TEXT search index. Unique column is generated by concatenating to ID columns from different table. I can successfully able to create unique index however when trying to create FULLTEXT INDEX getting below error.
"A full-text search key must be a unique, non-nullable, single-column index which is not offline, is not defined on a non-deterministic or imprecise nonpersisted computed column, does not have a filter, and has maximum size of 900 bytes. Choose another index for the full-text key."
The message clearly says the column should be single-column index, non-deterministic.

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?
View 9 Replies View RelatedDear all:
I had got the below error when I execute a DELETE SQL query in SSIS Execute SQL Task :
Error: 0xC002F210 at DelAFKO, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "DELETE FROM [CQMS_SAP].[dbo].[AFKO]" failed with the following error: "The transaction log for database 'CQMS_SAP' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
But my disk has large as more than 6 GB space, and I query the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases which return value as "NOTHING".
So this confused me, any one has any experience on this?
Many thanks,

The requirements are:
1. the user has read-only permissions to dbo tales.
2. the user can do everything within the rpt schema, which contains all objects analyzing dbo tables.
3. the user does not have any permission outside rpt schema, except permissions in #1.
The current solutions are:
1. grant the user select only on dbo tables.
2. make the user the owner of rpt schema.
3. Grant the user database permission on create table/create procedure/create view/create function.
My question is - in step 3, should I just grant "Alter" database permission to the user? Granting Alter seems to be cleaner and simpler. According to MSDN,
"Alter" confers the ability to change the properties, except ownership, of a particular securable. When granted on a scope, ALTER also bestows the ability to alter, create, or drop any securable that is contained within that scope.
Hi,
I have database with unlimited growth in Data with 2MB growth and Log File with 1MB growth. The continuous data is inserted with min 20KB per minute. We struct with following error and Log file size is too large (85GB) than Data file(20GB). Now server is not allowing to take backup as diskspace is not available.

Please help me to resolved the issue and let me know hints to shrink LOG file. Data inserted are using ADO applications that uses some insert/select stored procedures that does not have begin transaction-Commit Transaction block as appliction issues the Commit over connection object.

Is there a way to display a column alias as part of the result set column labels?
View 9 Replies View RelatedOne of my programmers changed their database from full to Simple recovery. Saw that my job that backs up the Full Recovery mode databases failed, so I moved that database to my Simple database backup job plan and removed it from the Full Recovery job. I am unable to remove the db from the Transaction Log task on the Full Plan because when I try to edit that job "Databases with Simple Recovery will be excluded"
My transaction log backups are still failing with the following error: "The statement BACKUP LOG is not allowed while the recovery model is SIMPLE. Use BACKUP DATABASE or change the recovery model using ALTER DATABASE. BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.Just want to remove that database so my Full Recovery backup job does not try to back it up.
I am working towards automating the process of testing our backups. For the meantime, I do it all manually - I copy the backup files (full + transaction logs) to our test server and then run the restore script. Once database restored I run the DBCC CheckDB. The results of checkdb I manually upload to our Sharepoint portal as proof that the backup file is intact with no errors.
here are some ideas I have but have not yet tested:
Create a maintenance plan with each 3 jobs:
--> Powershell script to copy the files from Prod server to Test server - add this scrip to Job1
--> Powershell script to restore databases files - add this script to Job2
--> Run the DBCC in powershell (yet to find if possible in PS) - add this script to Job3
I would like to use seperate jobs as to get a report on the duration and status of each job
Would also like to get the results of the DBCC Checkdb as proof that no errors were found for upload to our Sharepoint portal. Dont know if possible via the job.

I am trying to reorganise the log files on a server, (long story short they are fragmented so I want to shrink and reset the initial size and growth) and I am unable to shrink them. When I run the following:
use test
DBCC SHRINKFILE(test_log, TRUNCATEONLY)
--or
use
DBCC SHRINKFILE(test_log,2, TRUNCATEONLY)
I get the following message:
Msg 8985, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Could not locate file 'test_log' for database 'test' in sys.database_files. The file either does not exist, or was dropped.
I get this message for every database on the server. I got the logical name of the file using sp_helpfile and have checked it against sys.masterfiles, sys.database_files and sys.sysaltfiles, all match up and confirm the name 'test_log'.
I rebooted the server last night and was able to shrink the first couple of .ldf's I tried so I presumed it was fixed. This morning when I try again i get the sanme error, I don't see anything in the SQL server or system logs that indicates a change.
I am able to add new log files and remove log files, however if I add a new log file (test_log2) and then try and truncate that file I get the same error.

I have a db1.tPersonJobHist where I have two columns
[WorkflowCoordinatorFlag] [dbo].[shrsFlag] NOT NULL,
[HRBusinessPartnerCode] [dbo].[shrsCode] NULL,
Our developer mistakenly made HRbusinesspartnercode field as nullable. He now wants to change it to Not Nullable.
So there were 4 rows where the values were not null(not sure how). We edited those rows and changed those values to NUll. Now we have no Nulls in that column.
So we brought up the table designer and made the change but got the following error
'tPersonJobHist' table
- Unable to modify table.
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'HRBusinessPartnerCode', table 'BD6578.dbo.Tmp_tPersonJobHist'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.
Question is why wouldn't it let me alter the table design. and what is tmp_tpersonjobhist.?
How can I make this column Not-nullable.
