We are having problems around TempDB as follows:
Stored Procedure with complicated Select Into's can block the TempDB's Transaction Log from being dumped (Set to Truncate Log on Checkpoint).
TempDB = 600MB (Disk)
When this happens, most of the developers get blocked until the server is rebooted.
Is there something else I can do besides Trunacte Log on Checkpoint for TempDB? I was under the impression that TempDB should share data and log, but should I have a separate log device for tempdb?
Thanks in advance. we are tired of rebooting the server.
I am new to SQL Server 2000 and I have a specific question about the transaction log for tempdb. Is it true that when a user disconnects from SQL Server, not only are his/her objects in tempdb dropped but references to those objects in the transaction log are dropped too? On several occassions I rebooted my machine but I noticed that the same amount of log space in tempdb was still used (according to dbcc sqlperf (logspace)). Any information would be appreciated.
HelloI have questions about how works transaction log et the databasetempdb in SQL Server and I hop you could help me- Is it possible to reduce the size of the transaction log fil duringan execution ? Indeed, I have a script inserting a very large quantityof data (many Go) and during that process my transaction log file useall the space avaible on my hard drive. Is there any way to solve thatproblem ?- Is it possible to limit the size of the database tempdb ? I have ananother script inserting data using a select joinning 2 tables ofabout 20 Go with group by. If I execute that script sql server seemsto freeze and I must kill the process. What can I do ? Is the onlysolution is that I must make more avaible space on my hard drive ?Thanks in advance for your answers.K.
Has anyone ever run across you Tempdb Transaction Log being full and getting an error 9002 severity 17 state 2? One issue is the tempdb was created with all the defaults 1mb in size. As well as my transaction log is now at 4 GIG in size.
We have a stored procedure that uses temp tables and must gather a lot of data. When we stress test this stored procedure, the tempdb transaction log fills up.
We tried using "Select Into" for our tables. That caused us not to write to the transaction log but it caused problems because it locked up sysobjects.
Is there some other way not to write to the transaction log?
I always get this message, when i want to run a stonger query or a transaction that takes a longer time:
"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"
I checked the log_reuse_wait_desc column: LOG_BACKUP I ran tr log backup...nothing... I tried to set to simple reco mode the db...this helped... temporaly...i got again below message. ( i wouldn't like to set to simple mode the db because the size of db is 160GB now....so i don't want to eun a fullbackup)
TempDB size is 50MB now and it can grow until 7GB. The trqansaction log size is 14GB and there are 50GB free space, so it can grow.
This symptom occurs since i installed SP2 and the CP Rev.4.0
I am relatively new to SQL Server so excuse my ignorance.
I have noticed in many of my SQL Server 2005 instances that the tempdb database is very often reporting the log mode as waiting active_transaction or waiting checkpoint.
Is this of concern, how can I determine the cause of these waits and how can they be reduced or eliminated ?
Is there a formula for calculating how expensive a transaction will be in terms of disk space used before its run. I dont want it accurate to the MB, but rough enough so I can determine how much additional space to assign to a transaction log or SAN volume.
Currently we're reindexing ~25billion rows, nothing too wide, say 12 columns consisting of 1 varchar(50) and the rest ints, bits and money.Roughly speaking if I reindex the clustered index on an int indetity, (with sort_in_tempdb) how would I calculate the the disk space used?
today I've put in production a big database accessed by 200 concurrent users, this database has READ_COMMITTED_SNAPHOT set to ON.I know that RCSI set to ON is very aggressive on tempDB so I'm monitoring it.I've noticed that the Transaction log space usage (%) on TempDB is slowly but ever increasing, I mean in the last 24 hours I've started from a 99% space free, now we are 37% space free...is it normal? TempDB log is 35GB in size.
"tempdb is skipped. You cannot run a query that requires tempdb"?
We're running a .Net web application with a SQL Server 2000 backend, and we get the error intermittently. Restarting the SQL Server service seems to fix it, as it causes tempdb to be rebuilt, but this isn't a long term solution. Any direction or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Mike
I'm getting this when executing the code below. Going from W2K/SQL2k SP4 to XP/SQL2k SP4 over a dial-up link.
If I take away the begin tran and commit it works, but of course, if one statement fails I want a rollback. I'm executing this from a Delphi app, but I get the same from Qry Analyser.
I've tried both with and without the Set XACT . . ., and also tried with Set Implicit_Transactions off.

It's got me stumped, so any ideas gratefully received.Thx
I have a design a SSIS Package for ETL Process. In my package i have to read the data from the tables and then insert into the another table of same structure.
for reading the data i have write the Dynamic TSQL based on some condition and based on that it is using 25 different function to populate the data into different 25 column. Tsql returning correct data and is working fine in Enterprise manager. But in my SSIS package it show me time out ERROR.
I have increase and decrease the time to catch the error but it is still there i have tried to set 0 for commandout Properties.
if i'm using the 0 for commandtime out then i'm getting the Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.
and
Failed to open a fastload rowset for "[dbo].[P@@#$%$%%%]". Check that the object exists in the database.
I am getting this error :Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.have anybody idea?!
i have a sequence container in my my sequence container i have a script task for drop the existing tables. This seq. container connected to another seq. container. all these are in for each loop container when i run the package it's work fine for 1st looop but it gives me error for second execution.
Message is like this:
Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.
i am getting this error "Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.".
my transations have been done using LINKED SERVER. when i manually call the store procedure from Server 1 it works but when i call it through Service broker it dosen't work and gives me this error.
I have Full database backup upto previous day and transaction logfile of Today transaction. my database has crashed. I have restored previous day's Full backup. I have faced difficulty to restore today's transaction from today's transaction log. What are the steps to restore full database back and one day's transaction log file. Note: there is no differential database backup and transaction backup.
I'm receiving the below error when trying to implement Execute SQL Task.
"The ROLLBACK TRANSACTION request has no corresponding BEGIN TRANSACTION." This error also happens on COMMIT as well and there is a preceding Execute SQL Task with BEGIN TRANSACTION tranname WITH MARK 'tran'
I know I can change the transaction option property from "supported" to "required" however I want to mark the transaction. I was copying the way Import/Export Wizard does it however I'm unable to figure out why it works and why mine doesn't work.
I created a Calculated measure in cube something like this : ([TransType].[TransTypeHierarchy].[TransTypeCategoryParent].&[SPEND],[Measures].[Transaction Amount]). To get only spend transactions. Now, I want to slice this measure with same hierarchy to find the amount distribution across different transaction types under spend transaction. But this query behaving like the measure doesn't have relation with measure.
you can think this as below query: WITH MEMBER SPEND AS ([TransType].[TransTypeHierarchy].[TransTypeCategoryParent].&[SPEND],[Measures].[Transaction Amount]) SELECT NON EMPTY {SPEND} ON 0 ,NON EMPTY ([TransType].[TransTypeHierarchy].[TransTypeCategoryParent]) ON 1 FROM [CUBE]
How do I make use of begin transaction and commit transaction in SSIS.
As am not able to commit changes due to certain update commands I want to explicitly write begin and commit statements. but when i make use of begin and commit in OLEDB commnad stage it throws an error as follows:
Hresult:0x80004005
descriptionyntax error or access violation.
its definately not an syntax error as i executed it in sql server. also when i use it in execute sql task out side the dataflow container it doesnt throw any error but still this task doesnt serve my purpose of saving/ commiting update chanages in the database.
I am having some problem with SSIS transaction. Eventhought I tried to imitate the concept that Jamie presented at http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/jthomson/transactionsinsqlserver2005integrationservices.asp
. My workflow is as followed
********************************* For Each ADO.Record in Oracle (transaction=not supported)
If (Certain_Field_Value = 'A')
Lookup Data in SQL DB with values from Oracle (transaction=not supported)
DO Sequence A (Start a Transaction , transaction=required)
INSERT/UPDATE some records in SQLDB(transaction=supported) Finish Sequence A ( transaction should stop here) UPDATE Oracle DB ( Execute SQLTask, transaction=not supported) If (Certain_Field_Value = 'B')
Lookup Data in SQL DB with values from Oracle (transaction=not supported)
DO Sequence B (Start a Transaction , transaction = required)
INSERT/UPDATE some records in SQLDB (transaction=supported) Finish Sequence A ( transaction should stop here) UPDATE Oracle DB ( Execute SQLTask, transaction=not supported) If (Certain_Field_Value = 'C')
------------ ------------ End ForEach Loop ************************************* My requirements are that I want separate transaction for each Sequence A, B, C, etc... If Sequence A transaction fails, the other should still be continuing with another transaction. But I am getting an error regarding the OLEDB Error in next Task (e.g in Certain_Field_Value = 'B') "Lookup Data in SQL DB with values from Oracle ", the error message is ".......Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction. ". What is it that I am doing wrong? Regards KyawAM

I am executing a stored procedure something like this
Create Procedure TEST @test1 @test2 AS BeGIN TRANSACTION ONE SELECT... UPDATE.. .... ....
.... TRUNCATE etc and lot of Select,update and delete statements like this ..... COMMIT TRANSACTION ONE
The Block of code which I have b/w BEGIN TRANSACTION AND COMMIT TRANSACTION ..Will it be rolled back if it encounters any errors in the SELECT,UPPDATE,DELETE ..statements which I have with the transaction one. IF not How do I roll back if it encounters any erros b/w the BEGIN TRANSACTION and END TRANSACTION.
---------------------------------------------- dim conn, connectionstring
connectionstring= "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1; Data Source = blahblah; Initial Catalog = abc; User Id = osss; Password=xxx"
set conn = server.CreateObject("adodb.connection") conn.open connectionstring
----------------------------------------------
It's just basically to set up the connection to the SQL server, it works on my other pages, but on a few pages, the last line (conn.open connectionstring) triggers this error:
"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '8004d00a'
New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. "
I've never encountered this error before and I couldn't think of any solution... please help!!!
I had thought that if any statement failed within a BEING TRANS .. COMMIT TRANS block, then all the statements would be rolled back. But I am seeing different behavior (SQL Server 2000 8.00.2039)
For instance, run these statements to set up a test: --DROP TABLE testTable1 --DROP TABLE testTable2 CREATE TABLE testTable1 (f1 varchar(1)) CREATE TABLE testTable2 (f1 varchar(1)) CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_tmptmp ON testTable1 (f1) insert into testTable1(f1) values ('a')
So table testTable1 has a unique index on it..
Now try to run these statements:
--DELETE FROM testTable2 BEGIN TRANSACTION insert into testTable1(f1) values ('a') insert into testTable2(f1) values ('a') COMMIT TRANSACTION
SELECT * FROM testTable2
..the first insert fails on the unique index.. but the second insert succeeds. Shouldn't the second insert roll back? How can I make two operations atomic?
Hi,On My local SQL server I have added a linked server to another SQLserver (remoteserver) in another Windows NT Domain.When I run this codeselect count(*) from remoteserver.mosaics.dbo.LocationThis works fine.However when I usebegin transactionselect count(*) from remoteserver.mosaics.dbo.LocationIt errors out saying thatThe operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transactioncoordinator. ]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB'ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a].My question is even though I am just reading data from theremoteserver, why does the local transaction get promoted to adistributed transaction.Any help will be grately appreciated.TIA...Rohit

Hello, I've a problem with a software developed in C# with the framework 2.0. This is the error I receive : The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "XXX_LINKED_SERVER" was unable to begin a distributed transaction. OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "XXX_LINKED_SERVER" returned message "No transaction is active.". If I try directly to restart the process, it works fine. Is there someone who can help me ? This is the process 1. In C# --> Call of a Query : select from the linked server (db in sql 2005) and insert into a table SQL 2005 2. In the C# --> using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope()) and insert in a table in SQL 2005 which is link server Thank in advance.
