Log File Filled Up Disk When Restoring
Apr 7, 2008Hi,
I'm trying to write a restore script. In the past I've always used the SSMS GUI to restore. When running the script below, the process got stuck at around 90%. Eventually I aborted the restore and found out that my C drive was full. The log file of the database I was restoring was 32GB. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

Multiple Hard Disk
May 29, 2007Hello!
I have 2 harddisk in my computer and I have SQL 2005 Express on 1 of them (let's say C:), however, my C: is going to be full soon! Once it is full, is it possible to create a table on my other harddisk which the server can recognise?
Thanks!

Identifying What Is Using My Hard Disk Cycles
Jul 25, 2001Hello,
I monitor a few "perfmon" counters which includes under the "system" object, "bytes transmitted/sec" and "file read bytes/sec". Every once in awhile, these counters will skyrocket, which can also be verified by the hard drive lights flickering like mad.
The only software installed on the machine is SQL Server 2K.
I was wondering if anyone knew how I could monitor within SQL 2K what process or user is using all of these cycles. If anyone could shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated. Specifically, I would like to find out which database/query is doing this to minimize in the future as this affects all of the other connections.
Thanks in advance,
Brent.
Export Data Onto Hard Disk
Mar 10, 2004Hello People,
I have began to store binary data in my database, for example word documents, PDF's....etc.
But now my database file is growing beyond what I want, and I need to move all of the files out of the DB onto normal hard disk space.
Is there anyway, say by using a bulk copy command, that I can write all the contents of the table into a folder on my hard disk...???
My database table consists of ID(int), Filename(varchar), Filetype(varchar), Filesize(varchar), Filebody(image)
Any help would be extremely appreciated.....
Many Thanks,

SQL 2005 Express And Hard Disk Encryption
Jul 20, 2007Hi All,
We have here a WinForms Application on laptops that uses SQL Express as its database. Initially all was going well, then it was decided that the laptop Hard Drive should be encrypted. Thats when the fun started.
It is now very hit and miss as to whether we can connect to SQL and service pack 2 will not install.
So now to the question :-
Does anyone know if there are any compatablity issues with SQL 2005 Express and hard disk encryption (particularly BeCrypt).
Thanks

So the underlying requirment is to have 2 database server running in differnet time zones but accessing the same disk/set of data
What is the best way to do this? Is it linked servers?Girish

How To Delete Records When Disk Drive Is Full

View 6 Replies View RelatedServer Disk Space Is Getting Close To Full Capacity
Feb 18, 2015My SQL server disk space is getting close to full capacity which is causing certain reports that we run via the SQL server to time out because I don't think there is enough space on the server.
Any tips on cleaning out a SQL server? Are there any folders that can absolutely be deleted to clear space? I know on a local computer that the %temp% folder can be cleaned out. I know when dealing with servers you do not want to make to many changes because it can cause major problems down the road.

Should The Quorum Disk Be A Physical Disk Or Majority Node Set?
Nov 15, 2006Hello,
I am trying to setup a test cluster and am having an issue. When I try to create the resource of a physical disk it takes both the drive e: and drive q: and doesn't seperate them into two physical disks as resources. This means when I try to associate the quorum disk it links the to physcial disk resource of drive e and q. Then when I try to install SQL2k5 I get the warning about installing SQL on the quorum disk. Am I missing something? Is there a way to seperate e and q onto two physical disk resources so I can specifically associate the quorum to q and the sql to e or should I be setting the quorum disk to a majority node set? Thanks in advance.

SYSBACKUPHISRY IS GETTING FILLED
Apr 26, 1999Hi Guys,
we have a database where we have backup and restore done daily basis by a automated task. We are having errors on MSDB the saying database is reached the capacity(as SYSBACKUPHISRY getting populated every day). After I increase the size of MSDB,the error msg disappeared.
Does anyone know rather than increasing the size, Can we somehow store the data upto somany records and then when it reach the max, to rewrite the SYSBACKUPHISRY table all over again?
Is it advisable to truncate the sysbackup history table?
I would really like some one to give an idea as soon as posible. I appreciate it really very much.
Thanks,
Jay.

Dec 21, 1999Upon entering data into the database, my fields fill the entire length specified.
For Example a name field with char type and allocated for 50 spaces when entered with SAM returns SAM and 47 spaces. When I have to modify the record, I need to first delete the 47 spaces. Any ideas as to why this is happening or what I can do to alleviate the problem? This happens with all types and lengths.

Disk Crash Of Disk That Contains The Paging File.

SP With Variable Number Filled Of Parameters
Jun 14, 2007I have a SP search_post (e.g)
@id int,
@author varchar(40),
@keyword varchar(40),
select * from
posts
where
id = @id and author =@author and message like @keyword
in my case a user can choose to search by one or more of this elements.
what will be the best approach to write a statement that will account for the posibility of the user leaving some "parameters" empty, while also allowing for the posibility that all parameters could be filled
one approach I have thought out is this
if (@id IS NOT null)
select * from
posts where id = @id
if (@author IS NOT null)
select * from
posts where author= @author
if (@keyword IS NOT null)
select * from
posts where keyword = (@keyword
but this does not really take care of the posibility that all of them or some of them will be null while others will not
any suggestions ?
Dataset Not Filled If Sql-query Generates Error
Jun 13, 2007Hi,
I've a dataset which is filled using a stored procedure in either MSSQL2005 or 2000.
The procedure may return sql-errors (f.ex 208 if a table is not found), but the procedure will anyway return data which shall populate the dataset, independent on 208 errors.
The procedure works fine if running it from f.ex. SqlMgtStudio, and the dataset is filled if the procedure triggers no errors.
However, if the procedure triggers an error like 208, then I get an exception in the application and the dataset is not populated with the data returned by the procedure.
Is there a way of telling the DataSet/SqlDataAdapter to fill the dataset even if the sql-code genererates som errors?
Regards, Guttorm
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Finding The Item Filled In Prior To Current One
May 13, 2015I have data similar to the below
CREATE TABLE #TEMP
(
TYPE VARCHAR(10),
SEQ INT,
SUB_TYPE VARCHAR(10))
[Code] ....
Now for each type the seq is very important. Effectively by order of seq the subtype stays the same until another subtype changes it. So for TYPE1 100,110 and 150 are A. 170, 200,220 are B. 230 and 250 are C and so on.
However as you can see the data isnt actually stored in the row. I need a select statement that shows this data.
I have done this:
SELECT t1.*,t3.SUB_TYPE FROM #TEMP t1
CROSS APPLY
(SELECT MAX(SEQ) SEQ FROM #TEMP AS t2 WHERE t1.SEQ >= t2.seq AND t2.SUB_TYPE <>'' AND t1.TYPE = t2.TYPE
GROUP BY t2.TYPE) t2
INNER JOIN
#TEMP t3
ON t3.TYPE = t1.TYPE AND t2.SEQ = t3.SEQ
And it seems to work. Is this the easiest way to do it or am i missing something?
Inserting A Column Filled With Unique Incremental Values
Jan 8, 2008Hi all,
I've got a large table (3mil records) with a number of columns, but currently no way to refer to any individual column. I therefore need a primary key, but does anyone know of a SQL statement I can use that will create a column (say, ID) that is automatically filled with an incrementing 'counter'? Or, instead, how can I set unique incremental values after first creating the column?
Many thanks,
Graham
I Made A Mistake About Service Name And The Transmission Queue Got Filled Of Them
Jun 30, 2006I want to use SSB as a mean to thread multiple SP invocation of the same procedure.
When I launched the initator processes it created in the transmission queue error messages saying for each of them that it is an invalid target service name.
The view (sys.transmission_queue) records them in this way in the status column:
"The target service name could not be found. Ensure that the service name is specified correctly and/or the routing information has been supplied."
Services and queues and activation procedure are all defined into the same database.
I drop services and queues, and i tried to create a service with the initial wrong name. Nothing happened.
