Shrink File Tool From EM Took All The Empty Space Allocated To Data File

Jul 20, 2005

I've production sql server 7 sp3 on windows NT. I had a 8GB data file ofwhich 5GB were used and 3GB were unused. I wanted to take back the unused3GB.So I did the following with EM GUI:1. I tried to "truncate fre space from end of the file". Didn't truncatethe file. I believe there was no empty space at the end of the file.2. Next I chose the option to "shrink file to 5GB". And to my horror thedata file instead of taking just 5GB took the empty spaces also and the sizeof the used data file went to 8GB.Any idea what's going on?TIA,SP

SQL Server 2008 :: SSIS Copy File From SharePoint Library Using File System Task Permissions?

Jun 19, 2015

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.

<Form xmlns="http://tempuri.org/Form.xsd" xmlna:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Veri>
<Satir>
<Id>1</Id>

SQL Server 2008 :: Data Import With CSV File For SSIS Package

Mar 24, 2015

I'm trying to create an import package using BIDS. I'm using SQL Server 2008. The data is saved as a .csv file so that I can use the flat file option for data source. The issue I am having is that when I preview the flat file after selecting it as the datasource, some of the data that have the numeric file format are showing up as non numeric, for instance the value -1,809,575,682,700 is being viewed as ""1 and the package is giving a conversion error.

SQL Server 2008 :: Getting Error In BCP When Importing Comma Delimited Data File

Sep 3, 2015

I am struggling on using bcp to import data. Here is my steps:

1. I created a Test database on my localhost
2. In the Test database, I created a Test table, the query is here for your convenience:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Test](
[id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[network_group_name] [varchar](128) NULL,
[IP] [varchar](15) NULL,
[OS] [varchar](128) NULL,

[Code] ....

I then create the format file used in bcp:

bcp Test.dbo.Test format nul -c -t, -f C:RXieSQLTest.fmt –T

Here is the format file:

9.0
8
1 SQLCHAR 0 12 "," 1 id ""
2 SQLCHAR 0 128 "," 2 network_group_name SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
3 SQLCHAR 0 15 "," 3 IP SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

[Code] ...

The data file is called 20150902FullTest.rpt and the first couple lines (first line is the header and followed by two rows) are posted here:

network_group_name,IP,OS,App_Name,vuln_name,host_score,recordswritten
Domestic,10.216.56.88,Windows XP SP3,Adobe / Macromedia Flash Player,APSB14-17: Adobe Flash Player CVE-2014-0537 Vulnerability,4350,2015-09-01 09:55:07.720
Domestic,10.216.56.88,Windows XP SP3,Adobe / Macromedia Flash Player,APSB14-17: Adobe Flash Player CVE-2014-0539 Vulnerability,4350,2015-09-01 09:55:07.720

With the format file and the data file, I use the following bcp command:

bcp Test.dbo.Test in C:RxieSQL20150902FullTest.rpt -f C:RxieSQLTest.fmt -T

I got the following error messages:

Starting copy...
SQLState = 22005, NativeError = 0
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Invalid character value for cast specification
SQLState = 22005, NativeError = 0
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Invalid character value for cast specification

[Code] ...

I do want to mention here is the rpt file contains three BOM characters EF BB BF at the beginning of the file.

DB Engine :: DB Autogrowth Turned On In Secondary Data File Still 0% Internal Free Space

Oct 30, 2015

Today we received an issue on an application database on internal free space on the DB is 0% that was designed with as below

name    fileid    filename    filegroup    size    maxsize    growth    usage
XX    1    I:DataMSSQL.1MSSQLDataNew XX.mdf    PRIMARY    68140032 KB    Unlimited    0 KB    data only
XX_log    2    I:DataMSSQL.1MSSQLDataNew XX_log.LDF    NULL    1050112 KB    2147483648 KB    102400 KB    log only
XX_2    3    I:DataMSSQL.1MSSQLDataNew XX_2.ndf    PRIMARY    15458304 KB    Unlimited    0 KB    data only
XX_3    4    I:DataMSSQL.1MSSQLDataNew XX_3.ndf    PRIMARY    13186048 KB    Unlimited    0 KB    data only
XX_4    5    I:DataMSSQL.1MSSQLDataNew XX_4.ndf    PRIMARY    19570688 KB    Unlimited    204800 KB    data only
XX_5    6    I:DataMSSQL.1MSSQLDataNew XX_5.ndf    PRIMARY    19591168 KB    Unlimited    204800 KB    data only

2 of the secondary data files had its autogrowth enabled to unrestricted with 200MB and 3 of the data files including primary had its Autogowth turned OFF. Application use is complaining that there is no internal freespace on the DB.

What fails to understand us is that when the Auto growth was already TURNED OFF on 3 data files ( 1 primary and 2 secondary ) still why was the application trying to increase the space on the .mdf and .ndf files; as well when the Autogrowth is TURNED ON on 2 of the secondary data files, why was the DB not able to expand these file groups when the autogrowth is already turned off on 3 of its  other files.

What more data i need to ensure i submit an analysis to this.

SQL Server 2008 :: Deleting Data (rows) From Table To Reclaim Space?

Feb 11, 2015

I have a table 300+GB. it holds 10 years of Data. I need to delete 5 years of data and put it to another server so I can have more space.

If I delete 5 years of data, Transaction log gets so huge and size of the database even gets bigger because of the .ldf file which even gets bigger! I think I can shrink the log file and the data file. Is this the best way to do it?

DB Engine :: 2008 R2 - Shrink Data File Size?

Nov 9, 2015

I have a sharepoint content database in sql 2008 R2 (WSS_Content) that is at 230Gb size, but has 40% of it is empty space.  This is because we have removed a large amount of old content from sharepoint.  The log file is fine.  I have 60GB left in my drive that host the database files.  I would like to shrink the datafile to get disk space back.  I found that under the files property, the WSS_Content data file's initial size is 228702 MB (220 Gb or so).  

When i try to do a shrink file (data file) from management studio, i see the 60 GB of drive space keep dropping.  So i have to kill the process. what i should do to reduce this data file.

why it keep using up all the free space in the drive when i try to shrink the data file?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Log File Size And Log Space Used (Percentage)

Jul 7, 2015

While i execute dbcc sqlperf(logspace); I get following values.

Database NameLog Size (MB)Log Space Used (%)
master 16.17969 13.30275
tempdb 7.429688 61.7245
model 0.7421875 45.78947
msdb 5.554688 25.87904
distribution 2808.93 0.8172179
BANKDB 23438.87 48.20037
WSMIRSDB 109.7422 4.839111

For database BANKDB , Log Space used(%) is 48.83% and Log size is about 23438.87 where as my database size of BANKDB is 60 GB. FULL database and Log back is done every day night one time. My database is performing slow now.

Do we need to take log backup frequently like once a 1 hour so that Log space used will be less. Same query is taking more time to execute than before in same database is it because of log file has increased.

I do index organize and rebuild once a week and stats apply nightly.

Is it correct once log space size is increasing more than 10%. Do we need to take log backup?

SQL Server 2008 :: MDF And NDF File Sizes

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)?

Retry N Times If The Source File Is Not Available In The Specified Location

Sep 26, 2007



I have a flat source file(.csv) which I am importing to SQL server. Now, if the source file is not available at the specified location, then the SSIS package should retry to execute n times( say 3 times) after certain time interval. The number of retries and the time interval should be configurable.

I have used Flat File connection manager for the source and OLEDB connection manager for the destination.

I am quite new to SSIS. Any help would be highly appreciated.

SQL Server 2008 :: Parsing Unstructured CSV File?

Oct 1, 2015

I 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.
