Should I Create A Non-primary Default Filegroup As A Best Practice?
Nov 7, 2007
This is for SQL2k5. The database may be small or big, I don't know (it's going out to multiple customers). I'm wondering if in general it's considered "better" to create a single non-primary default filegroup and put all the objects there, or just leave everything in primary? In one training years back I got the impression that recovering the primary filegroup was important for certain restore operations, so it was always wise to separate them like this.
I have around 9 index to a table and when I transfer my table with the help of Import/Export utility I get this error, can any1 tell me, why do I'm getting this error and I don't have help on that.
Error: -------- Error at Destination for Row number 2279. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1
could not allocate space for object 'a_pua01_tblmdlmast' in database dbDev because the primary filegroup is full ---------
DESCRIPTION:Error: 1105, Severity: 17, State: 2 Could not allocate space for object 'iislog' in database 'IISLOG' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full.
I have check to see if the file is autogrow and it is. Is there a way to solve this problem?
i got this error, "could not allocate space for ... in database... because PRIMARY filegroup is full." when i tried to create a table then insert some data approx. 400000 rows with a SP.
Dear All,I am new in MS Sql Server.I am facing a error"'PRIMARY' filegroup is full".I went through the all previoussubmitions.But still this error is coming.Please help me out.I have Installed Microsoft Sql Server 2000.

I seem to be having problems with a very simple install of MSDE on aWindows 2000 Server. When attempting to add new records, I receivethe message "Could not allocate space for object 'MyTable' in database'MyDatabase' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full."I have dealt with countless issues like this in the past and they havebeen easily resolved due to max limit of MSDE, trans log full, or thehard drive where the database is stored is full. None of these appearto be the case in this instance. The system has been working fine forabout a year.The Master database is 11 MB. MyDatabase is 33 MB. The log files areboth under 1 MB. I have 730 MB of storage available on the drivewhere the database is stored.I downloaded MSDE off of Microsoft's website and installed with thefollowing switches: BLANKSAPWD=1 SECURITYMODE=SQL. I create a userin MSDE that is the DBO for MyDatabase. Other than that, I make nochanges to the default installation.

We are using an application that stores it's data in SQL Server 2005. The application manages the creation of all it's own objects, including indexes. I would like to migrate the index data to a new filegroup, but there is no place in the application to specify how it builds it's indexes. I assume the indexes are created without specifying a filegroup so the default Primary is used. So, I'm wondering if there is a database option somewhere that you can set the default filegroup for index data?
If not, the only way I can think of accomplishing this goal is through DDL triggers to capture Create Index and Create Table statements and overwrite the Filegroup there.
i have the following joining table (many-to-many relationship)...
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[products_to_products_swatch] ( [products_to_products_swatch_id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT FOR REPLICATION NOT NULL , [product_id] [int] NOT NULL , [products_swatch_id] [int] NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO
question: do i need to include a primary key in this table - being that it is a joing table?
I am running a copy object DTS and consistently get the error 'cannot allocate space for <objectname> because the primary filegroup is full.
I've got auto-grow on with unliminted growth. There is more than enough space on our Data and Log file disks. I haven't reached teh 32TB limit of the filegroup size by any stretch of the imagination. The source datbase is 250mb yet even when I create the destination DB at 300mb I still get the error!
Also, I tried creating a secondary filegroup and this didn't help, either.
Could not allocate space for object 'dw_MasterClaim_ProcLine' in database 'fl1stDwProd2' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full..
I have two db's prod1 and prod2. I looked at the properties of each. On the tab Data Files both of these have the same file name (prod2). One has 5897 space allocated and the other 13162. Not sure why they are like this or even if it's correct. Could this be my problem? If so, how can I fix?
I have just added a 500G USB drive. I have created a DB on it and am attempting to export data to it. The problem is I keep getting:
Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.Matched' in database 'MyDBK' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup
The drive is empty so there is plenty of room. How do I set auto gro or something so this error goes away?
I'm new to MS SQL and I'm having trouble adding a table with the property, "Text filegroup" = PRIMARY. Frankly, I haven't done much reading (I've done lots of googling though, but to no avail) about the subject, but nevertheless it seems that I can't add data to my table unless the 'text filegroup' is set to PRIMARY. However, I can't figure how to set it to primary. Even when I create a new table the default (I think?) seems to not set it to PRIMARY.
By the way, I'm using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express.
I keep getting the "primary filegroup is full" error when ever I try to write data even though the following things are true:
allow unlimited growth set for BOTH database and transaction log auto shrink and auto update statistics flags are set in database options growth set to 10 percent for both database is 4GB but disk has 12GB freespace transaction log is on same disk but is only 8MB ???
SQL shows the database has 2% free space but any attempts to write cause the error, shrinking drops this to 1% but still produces the same error on writes
SQL shows the transaction log has 90% free space
backup maintenance plans are in operation for both transaction log and database (write to different drive)
Msg 1105, Level 17, State 2, Line 1 Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.SORT temporary run storage: 162781324115968' in database 'tempdb' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup. Msg 9002, Level 17, State 4, Line 1 The transaction log for database 'tempdb' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases
we like some of the advantages filegroups offer but wonder if the purpose is somewhat defeated if it is true that tables sitting on other filegroups still have to work with the same transaction log that the db's primary tables work with.
In general, what is the most appropriate way to specify a "data driven" default for a report parameter. Seems to me like options are:
1. construct an expression which operates on one of the existing report datasets (possibly the same data set used to populate the defaults dropdown)
2. construct a new dataset which returns a single value which is the desired default
what's the "normal" approach?
For example, I have an MDX dataset which contains the list of dates for which data is available. There is generally some data available for today, but normally the user is interested in the most recent day with data prior to today.
So which would be the better option out of the two above (or a third option if I'm missing something!) to tell my parameter to set itself to:
"The most recent day prior to today for which data exists".
What is best practise for what this number should be?
I have seen guidance saying set to a number greater than 25000, but not from any source I particularly know or trust. (I checked SANS, NIST-CIS and the NSA, but I couldn't find anything.
Hi all, This is a bit of a general question regarding SQL Server link tables that i hope someone can find the time to answer.
I am looking for the best practice. If I have 3 tables
1) tblCompetition 2) tblTeams 3) tblTeamsInCompetition (this is the link table)
I know the link table should have a related CompetitionID and TeamID, but should the link table also have a primary key that is an identity autoincrement by 1 just as you would with the other two tables. In Access I have never done this, however in SQL Server I have read that you should do this (but now I can't find the documentation again which prompts me to ask the question here).
Thanks for taking the time to answer this question.
I need to load a table with 820,000 records from a Sybase db via DTS. It always fail with the error: "Error at destination for row number 820000. Could not allocate space for object in tablespace tempdb . The default filegroup is full.".
There is only the primary filegroup defined in the db. I've increased the size from 1.5GB to 2GB, and specify that it shd grow automatically by 10% and there's no limit to the size. There is still some 28GB in the server, so it should be fine.
It still fail so I added another file to the primary filegroup with size 100MB. Again, it failed with the same error msg.
I am getting the below error message while performing Bulk Insert/Update operation.
Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.pros_mas_det'.'PK__pros_mas__3213E83F22401542' in database 'admin_mbjobslive' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup.
My Current SQL Server version :
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (RTM) - 10.50.1600.1 (X64) Apr 2 2010 15:48:46 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Express Edition with Advanced Services (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (Hypervisor)
My current database size crossed the limit size of 10 GB.
I need to modify a table to reside on a new filegroup and also point TEXTIMAGE_ON to that filegroup instead of PRIMARY. Apparently in the past, the only way to achieve this via SQL is to create a new table, copy over data, drop the old table and rename the new table to the original name. I found this solution in the SQL Server 2005 forum.
Is there any other way to alter this table in order to point the TEXTIMAGE_ON to new filegroup using SQL Server 2014? We are on Standard edition. The technique I am using is the drop constraint (with move option) and add constraint (to new filegroup) commands. The data and indexes move, but not the text data (it still is in primary filegroup).
I have been creating databases in SQL 2008 with a primary filegroup for the system objects and a secondary, marked Default, for the data.
We are preparing a migration to SQL 2014, and the administrator is complaining he won't adopt this structure on the new servers because 'there is no benefit' and 'a backup cannot be restored (!?)'.
Hi, I am using a SQL back end to dynamically populate an asp.net report/page. As the data I'm interrogating is created from a tree control, I'm having to use a recursive function to retrieve the data into a series of ID values. This all happens at the moment in a DataTable manipulated with c# code. So my ID values end up in this datatable. My problem is that I am then performing a crosstab query in SQL Server 2000 and these ID are required as part of that query. Should I create a temp table and join this into the query or should i feed in a series of ID values into a where clause? Any help gratefully appreciated. Thanks. John
Hi,I am expanding our data warehouse solution with new filegroups onseveral subsystems.I want to know which idea is better!- create clustered indexes on tables to 'move' them to new filegroups- create these tables on the new filegroups.The background of this question is as follows:- we want the whole data on the new filegroups- we want to know if there is any difference in performance between the2 solutionsThanks in advance,Danny
Is it possible to use a variable to specify the filegroup in the ALTER/CREATE PARTITION SCHEME command?
I want the partition scheme to use the default filegroup for ALTER and CREATE PARTITION SCHEME. At the time the script is created, I don't know the default filegroup in the database.
My code:
declare @fileGroupName VARCHAR(50) = (select top 1 name from sys.filegroups where is_default = 1) ALTER PARTITION SCHEME MyScheme NEXT USED @fileGroupName
Is failing:
Incorrect syntax near '@fileGroupName'.
Q: Is it possible to use a variable for the filegroup in the ALTER/CREATE commands? Is so, what is the correct syntax?
Q: If using a variable is not possible, is there another way to specify the default filegroup?
