TEMPDB Shows Excessive Size After A Backup.
Apr 18, 2000
I have got SQLv6.5 SP5a with SMS1.2 SP4 on seperate Alpha boxes. I have automated the backups so they are scheduled for after hours. SMS gets backed up first and TEMPDB shortly afterwards. However, since a back log in SMS MIFS has happened, the TEMPDB backup displays of 100,000pages backed up. When you back it up on its own, it only shows 170+ pages.
The SMS DB is 600MB in size, the Log is 210MB, Open objects is 5000, and TEMPDB is set 210MB on its own device.
Any ideas

I have an SQL server that has probably 20 or so people connected at a time. In addition to these people, there are five people that run Crystal reports with some voluminous data, usually coming from views.
About every week and a half, one of the report writers get a message that the master device is full and must be expanded, because tempdb is full. When I expand temdb, it fixes the problem.
My question is, the tempdb is now 800 Megs. The sum total of memory allocated to all of the other(besides master)devices is 650. Should this be a flag that something is wrong? It just keeps growing and growing. Tempdb is not on it's own device-it is still on master.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

when I restart SQL server my tempdb database is 1.9Gb. I thought it was deleted and replaced with a copy of the model database. Is this not so?

I have read that MS suggests you tempdb be atleast 25% of your largest database. Is there any way to monitor your tempdb to determine if it is filling up or being 100% utilized and needs to be expanded?
Thanks,
David

I have a server with 2.5GB of RAM. I am allocation 1GB to SQL Server and am attempting to put 500MB tempdb in RAM. It would appear as though I am hitting some sort of max threshhold that I am unaware of as I can set tempdb in RAM up to 320MB. Anything beyond that and I get the following errors on start up and SQL Server will not start.
98/12/02 08:25:47.03 spid1 Clearing temp db
98/12/02 08:25:47.03 kernel udactivate(IN_RAM): Operating system error 8(Not enough storage is available to process this command.) encountered
98/12/02 08:25:47.03 spid1 Device activation error. The physical filename 'IN_RAM' may be incorrect
98/12/02 08:25:47.03 spid1 crdb_tempdb: Unable to move tempdb into RAM; RAM device doesn't exist, cannot be created, or doesn't have enough space for tempdb
I am certain that I am not hitting a Physical RAM limit and the memory checks out and is visible to NT. Please Advise. Thanks

Hello Everyone!
Is there any way by which I can determine whether the tempdb size for the SQL Server is enough or not? (I ean are there any symptoms like excessive paging etc. that can identify this bottleneck?).
Thanks!

We had a runaway query which built the size of tempdb to 24000mb. Then someone changed the unrestricted file growth property to restricted growth while the size was 24000mb. Now I can not reduce the initial size. I have set the property back to unrestricted file growth. I have shrunk the tempdb and available space is almost 24000mb. I have stopped sqlserver. I even deleted the existing tempdb.mdf & tempdb.ldf files. But when SQL server is restarted, the initial size is set to 24000mb. It will not let me reduce the size. Is there anything short of manipulating the system tables to reduce the size back to 500mb?

We currently have a hard-drive size of 3.89MB and 3.3MB is being used by tempdb. I have tried shrinking the database truncateonly but this is not working. The problem is that the tempdb file is as large as my C: drive size. In addition can this be moved to another directory. For example can I move the tempdb.mdf and ldf from C: to E:. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi All,
On my server C drive is of 34GB. Right now tempdb size is 22GB which is causing C drive to be full. How I can I reduce it? I dont want to move tempdb to any other drive, and I am only looking a way to reduce its size.
Please help quickly....
Thanks,
Zee

I have the classic "tempdb-out-of-space" problem. Unfortunately, my server fails to reboot properly as tempdb is located on the C: drive which is now completely full. While I understand the changes required to prevent this from happening again, I want to know if it will even reboot if I delete tempdb.mdf and tempdb.ldf. I've read conflicting information on MSDN about default tempdb file size:
- files are built to the default size (I will be fine)
- files are built to the same size as before (problem)
Which is true for SQL 2005?

I have a SQL Agent job that runs at 4:15 in the morning. The job has 5 steps, each step only runs if the preceding step succeeds. The second step, which calls an SSIS package that does the main processing, appears to finish as it goes on to the next step; however, when looking in 'View History' there are 2 entries for this step - the first one shows it as still running (Circled Green Arrow) but with a start and end time. The second entry says the job succeeded.
I have been seeing conflicts, such as deadlocks, with later jobs. I suspect this job is causing the conflicts - maybe the package is still running in the background instead of having actually completed?
what conditions a job step my be showing in the job history as both running AND completed successfully?

I have a tempdb that was created at 1Gig. I don't know why but I want to shrink it below the original creation size. Is there a way to shrink this file or create a new file and delete the old?
I have tried shinkfile and shrink database with no luck.
Thanks Jeff

Against my better judgement, we are using fixed allocations of tempdb on some of our servers. This is to deal with specific limitations of our applicaitons and hardware configuration that I'm not allowed to discuss in much detail.
The problem that I have is that the present plan is to configure the data file at around 18 Gb and the log file at around 2 Gb. This seems just plain wrong to me, but I haven't been able to find a formal recommendation that gives any relative sizing. I would expect to have about twice as much log as data space, especially for tempdb.
Does anyone know of a formal citation (preferably from Microsoft) that discusses this?

We have a problem with the size of the tempdb.mdf file. The tempdb had grown to 25Gb and consumed all the available disk space. SQL server was restarted and the tempdb was reset back to the default size. The following day the tempdb suddenly increased in size from 200mb to 25GB within a very short space of time. There were a couple of event log entries from sqlservger regarding the lack of disk. Since then the server is running without any problems but the level of free space is virtually zero on the drive with tempdb.mdf file.
What would cause the tempdb to grow suddenly and to this size?
Can I control the size the tempdb can grow to?

SQL Server 6.5
I am running a Query in my Production Server. It is hardly taking 15 Mins. The same Query is taking more than 3 Hours in my test server. I can see the only difference between these two servers is Tempdb Size. Will tempdb size matters the performance of a Query. Can anyone reply me?
Thanks in Advance

My prod server (only default instance) is configured TempDB 1024 MB data and Log 200MB. when I run 'sqlperf logspace' it shows most of time around 45% 'log space used'. There nothing going on the instance when I ran 'whoisactive' and select * from sys.sysprocesses where dbid = 2!!!
So my questions are is this normal to see log space around 45%, how to find what what CAUSED the tempdb log space to grow 45%? Is there something to do about it?

We have installed SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 instance and it's having Share Point 2010 databases.
We have 2 dedicated drives for Tempdb on SAN with 50 GB space. Both tempdb data & log files are created with default size. I would like to presize them.
What are the best values to start with?
U ->Tempdbdata having tempdb.mdf file
V->Tempdblog having templog.ldf file

I receive Error: 3967, Severity: 17, State: 1. Insufficient space in tempdb to hold row versions. We have 8 data files for temp db of 10210 GB size and given 10240 GB as max size.
As MS suggest to calculate the temp db file size and growth rate we need to monitor the perform counters Free Space in Tempdb (KB) and Version Store Size (KB) in the Transactions object.
basic formula: [Size of Version Store] = 2 * [Version store data generated per minute] * [Longest running time (minutes) of your transaction
My report disk utilizations says tempdb is full ? I thonk I need a shrink for the file .
Still I am confused in calculating the size , My perform counter gives me data as such
Free Space in tempdb (KB) 279938496
Version Generation rate (KB/s) 53681040
Version Cleanup rate (KB/s) 53422320
Version Store Size (KB) 258720
Version Store unit count 22
Version Store unit creation 774
Version Store unit truncation 752

Hi all
SQL 2005 SP2. Upgraded from 2000 and migrated maintenance plan. I am now getting an error when running the maintenance plan for all System databases:
failed with the following error: "Backup and restore operations are not allowed on database tempdb.
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Someone else has the same problem and reported it here:

Any thoughts on this?

I have a log file that is approximately 50 GIG. I backed up just the log and the file size of the .bak is 192 GIG . Why is this? Shouldn't it be closer to the 50 GIG.
Normally I wouldn't let log grow this much. But we are in process of getting new server up and running and don't have backups going yet. They are working on getting that up and running this week.
So I did a log backup to give me back some log space for now but was concerned when I saw the size of the .bak file.
When I view media contents of the backup device it shows one tranaction log back up and size of 192 GIG.
What is up with this. I know in SQL 2000 the log backup files where never this big. they were about the size of the log itself.
Any ideas?

I need to know how big SQL Server 7 backup files are in comparison to the database size. For example if I have a database that is 300 Mb and I do a complete backup to disk with SQL Server 7 will the backup file be about 300 Mb?

I recently started using Differential backups. They are working but are growing in size a lot quicker than I expected.
The backups are growing by 2.5GB every day although the total size of all
transaction backups is under 350MB. I would have imagined that the total transaction log backups would be a good indicator of total database changes and therefore the differential backups would approach this figure.
Please explain!
