Hi,
My ReportServer Log File (ReportServer_log.LDF) is now 1 GB in size !!
How do I truncate it ?
Is it OK if I detach the ReportServer DB , delete the old log file and attach the DB with a new Log file ?
Can Anyone tell me the repercussions of this ?
Thanks in Advance for your Reply,
Regards,
Sundar
The Background:
I have a SQL Serever with more than 10 million records.
I have to update/delete/insert records on a daily basis.
I am using the standard edition of SQL Server.
The tables are constantly having data inserted into them and the server has different jobs running all day long.
My Problem:
I cannot create index on my database and the database is getting really slow as each month/year passes.
Any/All suggestions are welcomed.
Hi All,
Need some suggestions for senior management for DR Purposes:
Background:
WSS/MOSS2007 is being used as a Document Management solution.
17 Servers geographically dispersed around the UK. Each server runs WSS 3, SQL Server 2005 and IIS. Each server is linked into a PiP cloud via 2MB MPLS.
At each location; We are looking at 20 core databases; each pre-sized to 10GB. If I take one site as an example, the previous nights backup totalled 135GB.
The company has taken a centralised view on backup's, so SQL Server Data and Log files are replicated using Double-Take to a central location where by the files are taken onto tape daily (Full backup of all files).
As a precaution, I take a Full SQL Server backup daily and also Tran Logs every 4 hours locally and keep it there for 2 days; however if the site goes boom I loose those, so for this purpose; please forget they exist.
As I expect; when I restore the mdf and ldf files from tape, I will get errors when I attach those files into SQL Server for transactional inconsistencies which I'm well aware of.
Other options I've considered are:
1) DB Mirroring. Not a bad option, but still have to get the DB to the Mirror Server in the first place. Also DB Mirroring is not recommended for more than 10 mirrored databases.
2) Log Shipping. Same issue as above; Have to get the data here in the first place. Then once Log Shipping is setup; if I have a failure; I need to start the whole lot off again.
3) Transactional Replication. Issue is with the initial replication getting the data from A to B, then if I need to use it in a DR situation; I will get issues saying this table is being used for replication. This can be worked around, but it's a not a quick process...
4) 3rd Party Backup Compression. E.G. Litespeed; Redgate SQL Backup, etc. Good; Tests have shown a 42% compression for us, however if I refer to the earlier example of 135GB, this compresses to 81GB. Throw in the theoretical max for a 2MB link of 19GB / 24 Hours, this would take 4 Days to copy.
Other thoughts I've come up with are:
A) Split the tables into different file groups; not sure how easy this would be as the DB's and Tables already exist.
B) Full/Diff/Tran. Still have the issue of scheduling the full backup over the weekend and taking 4 days to get here.
C) Local Tape Backups. Issue is relying on someone to change the tape on a daily basis. It's not centrally managed and how do we restore in a DR situation ?
Could someone give me some pointers please?
Thanks

Can someone please tell me where in SQL2000 I can truncate the log file and
set the database to truncate the log at checkpoint?
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
Although I truncate the log file and I have no pending transactions, its size does not shrink at all (it stays a 0.5 GB).
Does anyone know why or what can I do to solve this issue.
Thanks,

Hi,
I am having a problem with growing transaction log size, it has grown to 10 gb and I need to truncate it. How can I do it without interfering the users since it's our production database with 24/7 operational service.
Thanks in advance!!!
I have a Database of size 200 MB and my transactio log is 13GB(very high).So can I truncate the log file by taking a fresh full backup?
Thanks.
Hi,
I'm using sp_OAMethod to write to a text file, like this:
DECLARE @i INT, @File VARCHAR(1000), @FS INT, @RC INT, @FileID INT, @Date DATETIME
SET @File = 'E: extfile.txt'
EXEC @RC = sp_OACreate 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', @FS OUT
EXEC @RC = sp_OAMethod @FS, 'OpenTextFile', @FileID OUT, @File, 8, 1
EXEC @RC = sp_OAMethod @FileID, 'WriteLine', Null, @Date
This always appends to the file. I want to truncate the file and write to it afresh.
Please inform me how to do that.
I'm performing a full backup of a database, and the file name that I am creating for the backup is truncating. This keeps happening and can't figure out why.
I have a stored proc that I run:
CREATE PROC usp_Backup_old_srvra_to_srvrb
AS
DECLARE @DOW varchar(10),
@Filelocation varchar(50)
--Get Day of Week and set backup file name
SET @DOW = DATENAME(dw,GETDATE())
SET @FileLocation = 'SERVERAE$MSSQL7BACKUP'+ @DOW + '__old_BKUP_SRVR_0418_0800.bak'
BACKUP DATABASE TEST
TO DISK = @FileLocation
WITH INIT,
STATS
RETURN (0)
The backup file that was created ended up being:
THURSDAY__old_BKUP_SR
Any idea why it didn't pick up the whole file name that I wanted?
I have a production database which uses merge and snapshot replication. The Merge is for 3 tables. The snapshot is to update the rest of the data once daily. I use a Full recovery model and perform database backups (full, differential) and transaction log backups.
I have a database optimization plan which runs 4 times a week. This plan performs and integrity check and rebuilds the indexes. This optimization plan is growing the transaction log by about 8MB each time it is run and we are running out of space on the drive for our log files. The space is not being reused.
I saw in another post where Gail Shaw suggesting using SELECT name, log_reuse_wait_desc FROM master.sys.databases to see why the log space is not being reused. On the database in question, the above returns "REPLICATION".
A colleague tried to backup the transaction log a couple of times to truncate the log this weekend. She was going to perform a DBCC Shrinkfile command afterwards. But the truncate failed. Again looking into things it seems replication prevented the truncation.
We are looking at stopping the merge replication or even removing it to truncate the log file and then recreate the merge replication. How to handle shrinking the log file for now and then seeing if there are any checks or changes I can perform which will allow the transaction log space to be reused.
Please help everytime i call http://servername/reportserver it is presenting the login screen, if i enter the username and password then i can access the reportserver screen, same with reportmanager tool.
under iis manager for the reportserver virtual directory i have given anonymous login access.
do i have to set any other extra permissions other than anonymous login(iusr_machinenname)
thank you all for the information.
I have a website, where people upload tab delimited text files of their product inventories, which the site parses and inserts into a database table. Here's the catch: Instead of insisting that each user use a standardized format, each user can upload the file in whatever column order they want, they just have to let the site know through a GUI which column is in which order. And, they may upload columns that if not mapped, will be ignored. Right now, I am doing all of this in code and it runs slow, I was thinking of offloading this to either a stored procedure, ssis, or bulk upload. But, with the varying format of the uploaded text file, I am not sure how I could do that. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi All,
I have setup SSRS 2000 and gotten it to work but I am having trouble with SSRS 2005. I can't access to reportserver anywhere on the network. The only way to get to reportserver is termserv into the server and hit it with http://localhost/reportserver The server is Windows 2003 server Standard Ed. running SQL 2005 SP2 and Sharepoint Portal Server 2007. Can somebody please help? Thank you.
I have just installed MS SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Management Studio Express on my server but when I try to open a MDF file for manual editing I am told no editor exists. Is the software I have installed able to open a MDF file?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,
Basically the above is a very common requirement, please comment on my solution which I've arrived at by searching through the web; -
In summary I have used 3 SSIS components these are "Flat File Source", "Derived Column" and "SQL Server Destination".
1) File Connections Manager Editor
1.1) Within File Connections Manager Editor; -
Name the data type e.g. "INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC"
and assign a type to the data type e.g. string[DT_STR]
1.2) Click on the Preview button to ensure the expected text is assigned to the expected data type.
2) Derived Column Transformation Editor
2.1) Assign Derived Column Name, e.g.
INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE
2.2) Select <add as new column> within Derived Column.
2.3) Enter the conversion Expression, e.g. ; -
2.3.1)
(SUBSTRING(INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC,8,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC,5,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC,1,4))
2.3.2)
Since the above conversion is such a common task I suggest that Service Pack 3 of SQL Server 2005 delivers the following functionality; -
STRINGTODATE ('YYYYMMDD',INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC)
2.4) Select "database timestamp [DT_DBTIMESTAMP] " as Data Type.
2.5) Within the Mappings tab of the SQL Destination Editor have; -
Input Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE and
Destination Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE.
Please comment on the above, I will then pass on my suggestion to Microsoft.
Thanks in advance,
Kieran.
Hello everybody..
I have to copy data from a view of a database to an Excel file .
Is there any way of doing it ? Is there any way to import the data from the views to an Excel format ? We have SQL Server 7.0 .
Any information will be of great help to me .
Thank you very much.
Deepa.
As the title indicates, I'm having this error during installation. It occurs when I try to install
the "Management Studio" part of the program. I've tried a bunch of things like
copying to hard drive and installing, but to no avail. To isolate the problem, i've even tried removing Reporting services, since at the time of failure it seems to be trying to install/configure the Microsoft.Reporting Services dll.
Additionally, I have SQL Express installed (installed it separately, not as part of the SQL 2005 DVD), VS 2005, .NET Framework 2.0, SQL Management Studio Express CTP. Could the Management Studio Express be causing a problem?
Please note:
Although the error is about missing / corrupt Sql.cab, I have searched the entire dvd for the said file, but there is no file called Sql.cab on the dvd. Am I missing something?
Any solution would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Hi,
I am developing an application that uses Access database (mdb file) to store the user data. The user of this application is not interested in the database file (to view in MS Access Environment). Does the user machine requires MS Access installation to run my application or just some couple of dlls (OleDB driver, Access DB Engine,..) should be enough to run my application?
Thanks,

View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone have experience with truncating an expression like the Excel TRUNC?
For example in Excel, you might have something like =TRUNC(IF($AE11=0,1,X11/$AE11),5) which drops off a certain amount of the results after the decimal point. 87.5659321 becomes 87.565 instead of the result of a rounding.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all,
This is a database on which there are continuous inserts and updates. Data is loaded into this database in bulk at regular intervals. I do not back up the transaction log. For these reasons, I have set the options, 'select into/bulk copy' and 'truncate log on checkpoint'. When the 'truncate log on checkpoint' option was not set, the log file would grow very huge and fill up the entire disk space(file growth is unlimited). But, even after the 'truncate log on checkpoint' option has been set, the log file does grow at times to fill up the entire disk. I assumed that since the 'truncate log on checkpoint' option was set, the inactive portion of the log would be truncated every 1 minute(ie, during every checkpoint). Could someone please explain the reason for this behaviour?
Thanks in advance,

hello,
Daily, after a database backup done in the evening, around 3am we have a lot of flat files to integrate in tables and then process.
The question is : We want to free the space used by the transation log.
Then, we use "backup log with no_log" and/or "backup log with truncate_only"
We look at the size of the transaction log with "dbcc sqlperf( logspace )" but the 'Log space used %' stays the same.
Could you give us some informations or tips on this.
Thank you from Paris

Hi,
I've set up a number of jobs (not a maintenance plan) via a script in SQL 2005. These jobs do the following:
1) Full backup every sunday night
2) Differential backup every weeknight
3) Log backup every hour
The database is obviously in the full recovery model.
The backups all seem to be running, with one issue - the log file is still growing and is not being truncated. I was under the impression that a log backup should result in the log being truncated after each full backup. However, this does not seem to be the case.
Is there anything obvious I've missed that needs to be set up, or is there a way I can check that the full backup is actually setting the appropriate checkpoint and that the log backups are 'seeing' these checkpoints?
Thanks
2 Questions?
1. When I do a full backup, does that truncate my transaction log? Or does only a backup of transaction log will truncate a transaction log?
I am having trouble Truncating a Transaction Log. I`ve tried everything in Book Online.
I`ve backed up the database, I`ve tried DBCC SHRINKFILE, DBCC SHRINKDATABASE, BACKUP LOG TRUNCATE_ONLY ...etc, but it will not shrink. Any suggestions ? Thanks.
