Does anyone know what the commands would be? I am trying to create a job that puts a DB in simple mode then launches a reorg and re-index, then sets it back to full when it is complete. This way I can eliminate large transaction logs being created.
Any help would be great!
Thanks
We have the following scenario,
We have our Production server having database on which Few DTS packages execute every night. Most of them have Bulk Insert stored procedures running.
SO we have to set Recovery Model of the database to simple for that period of time, otherwise it will blow up our logs.
Is there any way we can set up log shipping between our production and standby server, but pause it for some time, set recovery model of primary db to simple, execute DTS Bulk Insert Jobs, Bring it Back to Full recovery Model AND finally bring back Log SHipping.
It it possible, if yes how can we achieve this.
If not what could be another DR solution in this scenario.
Thanks Much

When using the maintenance plan to backup t logs, should I enclude the system database logs such as master, model, etc...?
Thanks!
SQL7: After doing a full backup Enterprise
Admin still shows "Transaction log space"
in use. Isn't it that way that full backup
releases all space formerly used by
log files?

hi, I would like to know the correct reaction for a crash in both senarios.
First senario,
I made a full back up at 6 am , then scheduled sql server to make transaction log back up every 2 hours (8,10,12,2 pm,4,6,8) . If I have a crash at 12:30. How would I resotre the data in the first senario....Can I restore the full back up done at 6 am then restore the last transaction log backup ( which is 12 Noon ) . I am not sure If I need to resotre the whole tran from 6 am till the time it was crashed.
Second senario,
I made a full back up at 6 am, then scheduled sql server to make Incremental backup every 2 hours (8,10,12,2 pm,4,6,8) . If I have a crash at 3:00 pm. How would I resotre the data in the second senario. ....Do I restore the full backup at 6 am then restore each incremental backup backwords ( 2,12,10,8)
AS you can see, I am not sure how to deal with this issue, I do appreciate your feedback.
Best regards
Ahmed
We are having full backup every day and hourly transactional log backups during the working hours in our production server which is running sql server2008 R2 as a clustered instance. For the Db's under simple recovery model we are having full backups. Now we want to implement transaction log shipping to a remote server in another site. I understand that log shipping involves the restoration of a full backup initially in the remote server and then restoring the transactional log backups which are shipped to it ,on a no recovery basis.
My question is whether we can continue taking the full backups every day in the production sever which is given for offsite storage. Will the full backups taken in the primary server, after the log shipping has been implemented, affect the log backups which are restored into the remote server. Will the chain of log backups which are restored into the secondary server be affected in any manner if a full backup is taken in the primary?
Can anyone explaing briefly, why would this error appears???
Thank you
We had a siutation last night in our production environment that forced us to revert back to an earlier version of the database (before a major code rollout that failed). After restoring the days full backup (with NORECOVERY), and then restoring a DIFF backup (FULL RECOVERY and had checked Preserve Replication Settings)...the transaction replication failed.

I've tried reinitializing the publication/subscription and while that took brand new snapshots and copied it over to the replicated data server, it did not fix the problem.I read from a different post that I could try running "sp_replrestart" but that ran for about a half an hour and didn't appear to do anything but fill up our log files...did I not wait long enough?
The only thing I know to do at this point is to drop the publication on the production server and rebuild it completely (and with all the tables we're replicating that would take quite a bit of time.
Which system table is this information held in, i restored over 100 databases and want all of them to be simple mode.
I manually set it each time after each restore, but i want to confirm but i cannot find the sys table to do a select on.
I looked at sys.sysdatabases
I was trying to configure maintenance plan to take nightly full database backup and Log backup. I was trying to configure it like in attached file. Any links that i can follow and configure as in attached file.
View 7 Replies View RelatedHi MVPS/MS Experts:
Pardon me and my ignorance for asking this question. I just want to understand the backup architecture more clearly. According to BOL (both in SQL 2k and SQL 2k5) in simple recovery mode trasaction log backup is not possible since the log is truncated on checkpoint which is true. Also we know that FULL backup backups both the db and transaction log as well.
My question is what happens when a database is in simple recovery mode and a full backup is done. since the tran log cannot be backed up does only the db backup is done when a full backup is done?. What exactly happens behind the scenarios?. Is it that only the active log gets backed up when a full backup is done in simple recovery mode?. I am trying to understand how a full backup in simple recovery mode behaves without contradicting the full backup architecture and that the veracity of the statement (both db and tran log backup in full backup mode) holds true for a simple recovery scenario.
MVPs/ MS Experts if you could Please explain it in detail, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

I'm looking for a simple way of telling (inside a stored procedure) if I'mcurrently using MSDE or a full SQL server. Ideally, there is somepre-defined environment variable that won't cause me too much overhead. Thereason I'm doing this is because my system "rolls over" databases when itreaches the 2Gb limit with MSDE, but obviously I want to avoid this overheadif the user installs onto a full SQL server instance.ThanksRobin

I have a database that is set to Full recovery model, I would like to switch to simple. I must perform some procedure before doing so?
The size of the transaction log is very high in this database, I would like to decrease it before moving to simple, have a problem doing that?
Thank You,
Ralph Haddad
I have convert all databases to Full from Simple Recovery model.
As per documentation, it looks like simple.
Based on your experiences , do you think of any problem may come while doing this ?
Any impact on application performance after this ?
Is this work perferened to do when no body using system ?
Thanks
When we do a full database backup manually, we are seeing the trn file reflect the current date/time, but we are not seeing the mdf reflect the new date/time. And we are not seeing the transaction log file decrease in size. the recovery mode is set to full, do we need to change to simple to see both the mdf being backup'ed?

I have a table with primary key and also clustered index on that primary key column. I need almost all columns from that table. When I wrote the select column names, it showing that Index scan occurred. How can I avoid that Index scan and change to index seek? When I check the fragmentation of that Index it is showing more than 34%. Is that fragmentation is ok or do I need to reorg the Index?

Getting this error when running a maintenance plan step. The backup steps work fine.

One 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 have an issue with fragmentation SQl server 2012 .I monitored indexes using sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats. fragmented % is still remain after re-organized the index.

Hi all
Iam working in Prodcution ENV,Please help how make space
The log file for database 'Home_alone' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space.
Recently upgraded SQL Server 2005 x64 to SP2 and upto Build 3159. Since then the Maintenance Plan for Index Reorgs has failed with a System.OutOfMemoryException error. No other errors are logged anywhere. The plan report file has no information either.
Has anybody come across a similar issue?
Thank you.
Are there anyway I can check my last database reorg date and time using Tsql ?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi guys.
I an application here developed by a third party software house.
In the past, for some reason, the database would fail daily. The software
house recommended that we use dbcc reindex on all tables within the
databases twice daily. This was scheduled and is now running. Now the
database no longer fails.
The fix works and I don't understand why.
I don't understand why this would fix the problem. Why would reindex
twice daily solve the problem.
It seems excessive to have to reindex every user table twice daily.

I tried to run dbcc reindex on all user tables in a database. There are no
clustered indexes, but multiple non-clustered indexes on each table.
The output file from dbcc reindex shows that it should have worked. But when I
run DBCC SHOWCONTIG, the scan density of the indexes that were in bad shape did
not improve.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hello everybody.
1. I have 28 Gig database with 4 tables above 4 Gig each with very bad
fragmenataion, each table has between 3 and 5 indexes
2. Database set for full recovery and I use custom log Shipping to restore
db on stand by server every 15 min.
I tried to run DBCC INDEXDEFRAG on one index on 4Gig table .
following took place
1. It took 4 hrs to complite DBCC INDEXDEFRAG
2. log shipping fail.
3. log file size of 2 Gig generated after DBCC INDEXDEFRAG complited
I tried to run drop and create clustered index on table it create same
problem - log growing, log shipping fails
(if log shipping fails and stand by database get suspended it will take 6- 8
hrs to restore it from backup and apply all logs)
So my question is
What would be best way to rebuild- reindex - defragment 28 Gig database
when it set to fully recovery and log shipping
Thank you
Alex
Hi guys,
I need a help with this question. In SQL 2000, Can i run update,insert or delete queries while the Indexes of that table is being Rebuilt? Will
i get blocked by the DBCC DBreindex process?
thank you
I have a process that runs each day and it imports about 550K records into a database. My questions is it appears I have to reindex the database after each import otherwise the sp's that I have written will just run and run and run. After the reindex job things run within 60 seconds. I am just looking for some insight on why, I understand why a reindex is done, but dont know if I understand why I have to reindex every time.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHi experts, I would like to ask for this error that occurs upon executing my reindexing script
here is my script
USE mydatabase
DBCC DBREINDEX('outpatient', '', 70)
go
Then this error message will appear. I researched for this error and from the site that I've found they say that the table is corrupted? That I need to restore a better backup..?
The statement has been terminated.

how often should be done and if it don't do it what will happen?
=============================
http://www.sqlserverstudy.com
I#ve been doing disaster recovery on a web box that died today.
So I thought I'd do some "downtime" maintenance on the DB server
I ran a BDREINDEX on all tables, all indexes. (I know this is the 2000 way, but I assume its as good as the proper 2005 way??).
5 minutes on a 10GB database. Not bad!
I checked the DEFRAG and UPDATE STATS processes that run overnight.
They are basically defragging only tables with SHOWCONTIG indicating fragmentation. And then doing an UPDATE STATISTICS WITH FULLSCAN on all tables
That is taking an average of 30 minutes ...
Is DBREINDEX the equivalent of an UPDATE STATISTICS WITH FULLSCAN, or is it in some way a smaller-sample version?
I'm wondering why I don't just lock the DB and do a REINDEX of everything in 5 minutes ...

Hi,i have several tables in production whose contents are renewd totally in 1week. So everyd day we delete ~15% records and then insert 15% new.And after a few days, the performances drops :TABLE level scan performed.- Pages Scanned................................: 169617- Extents Scanned..............................: 21630- Extent Switches..............................: 153827- Avg.

I can adjust the fill factor but how to find the goodvalue if i don't want to waste space.The total size of the database is ~150GB.Thx
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,I'm trying to create a simple back up in the SQL Maintenance Plan that willmake a single back up copy of all database every night at 10 pm. I'd likethe previous nights file to be overwritten, so there will be only a singleback up file for each database (tape back up runs every night, so each daysback up will be saved on tape).Every night the maintenance plan makes a back up of all the databases to anew file with a datetime stamp, meaning the previous nights file stillexists. Even when I check "Remove files older than 22 hours" the previousnights file still exists. Is there any way to create a back up file withoutthe date time stamp so it overwrites the previous nights file?Thanks!Rick
