Tempdb - Unable To Release Space
Jun 26, 2007
Hi,
I am using SQL2005 SP1 and I have a 4Gb Tempdb (datafile) with virtually nothing in it.
I am unable to release the free space to the operating system. I have used dbcc shrinkfile...truncateonly but this has had no effect.
There is no error message and there are no open transactions, I have attempted to drop the data file by transferring to a new file but I can't because it the primary file...
Any idea would be very helpful!!
Cheers.

I have scenario where I have process that loades data into SQL server 2012 database by doing some manipulation on data like sorting , aggregation, etc. Once this process is completed it's not free up the Tempdb space. If I restart the database, then it does.
is there any way (apart from shirking) to release space for Tempdb, like writing some post SQL queries to delete/ truncate the data and logs from temp db?

Hi ,
I have a table let say TableA , which have a size of 22 GB.Due to its size i down size this table by deleting 40% rows.So ideally it should size to 15 GB but space is not released by TableA. How i can do it ? I tried shrink database, shrink data file wizards and DBCC command , Reorganize the index but all is in vain.
Any suggestion /solution?

Hi all,
I'm running SQL 7.0. Due to large tables, the space on the SQL server was getting filled up. So i truncated some tables. Now even though the SQL dbase shows 3Gb free, the HDD shows only 150 MB free. How do i get SQL 7.0 to release the sapce back to HDD?
Thanks

Hi,
When -all- records from a table with a varbinary(max) column are deleted (not via truncate), the table properties
still show a dataspace size from before the delete operation.
Inserting new blob records only leads in the growth of the allocated space withouth reusing the empty
already allocated space.
Runnning commands like dbcc updatusage/checkdb/cleantable/reindex or sp_spaceused @updateusage = N'TRUE'
seem to have no effect.
Does anyone know when space allocated by a varbinary col. is released?
thanks,

SQL7: After doing a full backup Enterprise
Admin still shows "Transaction log space"
in use. Isn't it that way that full backup
releases all space formerly used by
log files?

Hey guys,
I have a table which has 6 text columns (tblA).. I no longer require 1 of those text columns and want to reclaim the space that it is currently taking up..
Is the only way to BCP out all the data (except the 1 column i no longer require) drop the column and BCP the data back into the table?

We have a database with about 500 GB of free disk space on data file and the database is being set to read only mode for the fore-see-able future. We would like to release this unused disk space. We know that we could shrink the data file and then work on re-indexing to remove fragmentation.we wanted to check if some other method like backup and restore of the database could free up unused disk space in the data file. if someone was able to release unused disk space on data file by implementing a backup and restore.

What will the net result be if I limit the tempdb size, and it grows to it's limit? Will it crash my server? Will it shutdown SQL? I will most likely be moving it to another drive, but until then I can't have it consuming my entire drive like it did 2 days ago! Please Advise. - Rob

Hi,
I'm trying to add space to tempdb. I created a new device for 100megs and then I double clicked on tempdb db and then clicked on 'Expand'. I selected this new device in the data device - pull down and then did a 'Expand now'. After it successfully completed I went back and did a recalculate to find that the log space on tempdb has been increased and not the data space. I tried this twice with the same results.
Could anyone please tell me what's happening and how I can increase the data space on tempdb.
Thanks in advance,
Haranath

This database is running on SQL sever 6.5.
We are running an home-created stored procedure that includes several rounds of dropping and recreating indexes in a few tables, i.e., after dropping indexes, the tables are truncated, then a lot of records will be inserted into the table, and the indexes are recreated.
we are getting the following error in turns:
1. ODBC error: Microsoft] ODBC SQL Server Driver] SQL Server]Can't
allocate space for object '-841' in database 'tempdb' because the
'system' segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs,
dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE...
We then used EM to expand the tempdb, when reran the procedure, we got the following message:
2. ODBC error: Microsoft] ODBC SQL Server Driver] SQL Server] Cannot
drop the index 'dbo.ItemBalamce_CCB_Id',because it doesn't exist in the
system catalogs.
However, when I check the mentioned index, it is certainly there.
How could this happen?
After several rounds of running theis procedure, these two error messages appeared to occur alternatively.
If you have an answer or suggestion, please let me know ASAP.
Many thanks.

I received an alert from our alerting system that log space for tempdb is used over 60%.
My question is what options do I have to troubleshoot and fix it? If it would be a regular user database, I would check for log_reuse_wait_desc in sys.databases, run another log backup, and maybe some other things. But what I can do with tempdb?

I am getting an error while running SSIS package:
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.SORT temporary run storage: '...' 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."
The destination is sql 2000. The package does not create any large temp tables.
apart from setting MaxInsertCommitSize property on the destination in Data Flow, is there anything else I could do?
Where do I find this MaxInsertCommitSize option?

does anyone know if tempdb can be physically moved to a different partition on a disk drive on SQL Server 7.0? Since it can't be backed up I'm hesitant to use the sp_detach/sp_attach procedure because I don't want to crash it. If nothing else is available, I can attempt moving it this way at the end of the day and then just reboot to get tempdb back up again if the server fails, but I'd really appreciate a suggestion from someone who has more know-how than I do about system table operations. Thanks again

Hi There
In Sql Server 2005 sys.dm_db_task_space_usage is great for tracking down temdb space issues.
I have tempdb space issues in sql server 2000, how do i get the same info in SS2000 ? IE: What spid is using the most tempdb space ?
Thanx

I have a tempdb split into 4 files (5 if you include the log).
Autogrowth is disabled on the mdf/ndf files so that they can be used round robin (1 file per logical CPU).
Is there a way to be alerted when there is x% of free space left?
I know hwo to check the free space via t-sql but want to be able to be alerted. I could run a sql job that reports the free space and send a database mail message if under x% but wondered if there was a built in (or better) method?
I also have SQL Sentry.

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.

Hey guys,
I'm having difficulty completely truncating my tempdb online log. It sits at 25%, and remains allocated even after I've truncated the log with backup log tempdb with truncate_only. Now, I would assume this to be normal if there is a spid who hasn't commited or rolled back a transaction, or if checkpoint hasn't run. However, running DBCC opentran('tempdb') shows me that there are no open transactions at that time, and checkpoint appears to be running fine.
Can anyone give me any hints on which way I should point with my investigation.
Regards,
-Kilka

In my environment, there is maintenance plan configured on one of the server and while running DBCC checkdb on a database of size around 200GB, log file usage of tempdb is increasing and causing the maintenance job to fail.
What can I do to make the maintenance job run successfully, size of the tempdb database is only 50GB and recovery model is set to simple. It cannot be increased as the mount point on which it is residing is 50GB.

Has anyone seen the SQL Server error:
"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!

I am generating a Report from Sql Data Source in Sql Server 2005 and viewing the Report in Report viewer control of Visual Studio 2005.
The data in the Data Source contains string with multiple spaces (for example €œ Test String €œ) but when they get rendered in Report viewer control, multiple spaces gets converted to single space €? Test String €œ.
I tried following solutions
1) Replacing spaces with €œ €?
2) Inserting <pre> tag before the string and </pre> tag after the string (Also tried <Pre> instead of <pre>)
But in all the cases result is same. The Report Viewer control is showing €œ €? instead of space and €œ<Pre>€? tag instead of preserving spaces.
Please provide me a solution so that spaces can be preserved in Report Viewer.

Hi.. I was doing a good maintenance on my DB and my trans log LDF keep growing until 30GB but my DB data file MDF is only 2GB. I found the two following method to reduce my log size.
Method 1: I used veritas to backup log file with truncate
Method 2: I used the shrink database option in Enterprises manager to shrink it (file chosen=log , use default option)
After doing that, I found my LDF log file is still about the same size=27GB but when I see clearly, from the shrink database windows, the log spaced used reduced to only 100MB, the allocation log space is still 27GB. Why? How to make the LDF smaller to be the around the same size as the space used 100MB?

Hello,
Somebody know how to reduce the space allocated for the transaction log space for my SQL_DB ?
3700 MB allocated but only 100 MB used and 3600 MB are free !
Transaction log properties :
Automatically grow file are filled
file growth by percent = 5%
maximum file size - restrict filegrowth = 3700 MB (we can't reduce it !)
Thank you for your precious help !
Khaix from Brussel.
