Tempdb Database Is Growing Every Second In PROD
Jul 7, 2004
for the first time in my long SQL DBA live I see such a behaviours. My tempdb database is growing every damn second since a this morning. Now it reached 30Gb, the log file is empty (217 Mb).
We use SQL 2000 Ent on Win 2000 Advance Server. Running Siebel Call Center (7.5 ver) with about 300 users.
Some users time to time obtain and hold a huge amount Exclusive locks on the tempdb extents
Where do I look for a leak?
Any ideas?
thx

In SQL Server 7.0 sp1 (NT 4.0 sp5) I have a server that
has a tempdb database that continues to grow. This server
contains the database for SMS. Over the weekend, the tempdb
had grown so much that it filled up the drive (37GB). I have
shrunk it down to a much more reasonable size and put a limit
on how large it can grow. I'm noticing today that it is
beginning to grow again. Is there a way I can look at the
information that is in tempdb right now? I have to think
that there are open transactions for some reason that can't
commit. I know that tempdb gets cleared out when SQL Server
is restarted, but I can't be restarting it this often.
On Microsoft's website, I did find an article about SMS Y2K
queries using large amounts of Tempdb and failing to complete.
The solution they have in this article Q234912 is to install
SMS sp1 which is already installed.
I haven't been able to find any other useful information yet
on this problem. I would appreciate any help you can offer.
Thanks!

Hi there,
My tempdb is growing from its normal size of 800MB to 2GB.
I've been shrinking it using dbcc shinkfile/ dbcc shrinkdatabase.
Everytime I run the command, immediately it says that the execution is completed and successful. However, when I checked the disk space, it remained the same, as though no shrinking is done. Can anyone help?
Also, it was published that restarting the SQL server can re-create tempdb from scratch. I've tried it too, the tempdb just wont go back to its normal allocation. My constraint is limited disk space, would appreciate any good samaritan to give me some help here.
Thanks in advance!

I notice this morning that my tempdb grows very fast. I have 26GB in my
hardrive and all the space occupied by tempdb and finaly the qeury got failed due to 0 space in hardrive and there is no space to grow tempdb.
The select query supposed to bring about 40000 rows.
I ran this same query in different server that is not growing even 1 mb.
I checked the tempdb option the Trunc log on checkpoint is true.
Why this problem happening ?.
I have just dbo permission to access all the database.
Do you have any advice regarding this?.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi all.
I have a db application that has been running fine for months. Volumes have been gradually increasing and one day the system locked up.
A stored proc that typically ran in 3 or 4 minutes never returned. The tempdb kept expanding to fill available disk space (100GB). This was the offending statement inside the stored proc:
INSERT INTO cpp (CPPDate,MerchantLink,ReportNumber,FromDate,ToDate ,TransThreshold,DayThreshold,CPPType)
SELECT S.CPPDate,S.MerchantLink,s.ReportNumber, s.FromDate,s.ToDate, S.OccurThresh,s.DaysThresh,'D'
FROM #stuff S, Trans T with (nolock), Supplier P with (nolock)
where T.MerchantNumber in (SELECT MerchantNumber FROM Merchant WHERE MerchantLink = s.MerchantLink)
AND T.TranDate >= S.FromDate
AND T.TranDate <= S.ToDate
AND T.LoadDate <= @ReportDate2
AND (T.SupplierNumber = P.SupplierNumber
AND T.IncludeInCpp = 'Y'
AND P.CountryNumber IN (SELECT CountryNumber FROM REPORTCOMBO WHERE ReportNumber = s.ReportNumber))
GROUP BY CPPDate,Merchantlink,ReportNumber, FromDate,ToDate, OccurThresh, DaysThresh
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT T.AccountNumber) >= OccurThresh
I realize that a "group by" uses the tempdb, but can't figure out why it would go away rather than returning an error.
I have a workaround in place now. I split this big query into several steps using a cursor. (slower and clumsier, but it works) Statistics are updated daily, i have tried defragging, and reindexing with no success.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. If you need any more details, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
We are having problems with our SQL server 2000.
The problem is that on a daily basis we run out of disk space and I always have to run shrinkdatabase on tempdb.
Today we started with 160GB of free space and by the end of the day it was gone!
Yes we do have many jobs running on our SQL server pulling data in from many sources. But I dont know how to find out which job is causing this problem. I have a suspicion that it could be a job that runs hourly that pulls data from Oracle (approximately 10000 rows each time), but that job has been active since the 28th August 2007. We only started running out of space in the past 5 days. Any suggestions would be appreciated as to what is causing this or how to diagnose the problem.
Thanks

Something strange is happening to our SQL Server DB (2000). Thetempdb transaction log file continues to grow (quite slowly) for noapparent reason. We have it in simple mode, and I have tried a manualcheckpoint command and manual shrink (of the log file only). Thereare no unusual SQL's (large or small) going on. A "heavy hitter" wouldmake it grow fast, not 10 MB every 30 minutes or so. This server hasbeen in production for over a year with no similar issues to this.Anyone encounter a similar situation? This started (as far as we cantell) sometime yesterday. It is growing about 200 MB a day, and is upto 600 MB now, with all but 8 MB "used". For now we added space, butof course that is not a long term solution. The two "data" files(each had a 200 MB initial allocation) have never gone much above 100MB each used (they are each about 100 MB now and have been that wayfor several days, but have shrank and grown). There are about 30small to medium sized "regular" databases on this instance.Any help would be appreciated, especially if there is a way we can fixthis without bouncing the engine (I know, wishful thinking...). The OSis Win 2000, SP3. SQL Server is at 2000, SP 3a.THANKS IN ADVANCE!

SQL Server 2008, Tempdb ("ReportServerTempDB")of the report server is growing enormously over 20gb in 3 days. All our reports drive from  stored procedures which is a different server from Reportservertempdb. We have no report subscriptions.
We store no snapshots. All we do is run the reports.
I don't know where I start to investigate the issue.

The TEMPDB transaction log file keeps growing.The database server is new and the transaction log was presized to 1 GB on installation. After installing a number of databases, the log file grew over a day to 38GB. Issuing a manual checkpoint was the only way to free some space to allow it to be shrunk back to a usable size. The usage of the file is still going up.
I am struggling to find what process is causing the log to be used so heavily. Looking at the log reuse wait desc for tempdb returns "Nothing" and tempdb itself isn't being used very much or growing in size.

We are running Microsoft SQL 2005 Express.
All queries on our Production database are timing out. Viewing the error log file the following show up over and over again:
Autogrow of file 'tempdev' in database 'tempdb' was cancelled by user or timed out after 3937 milliseconds. Use ALTER DATABASE to set a smaller FILEGROWTH value for this file or to explicitly set a new file size.
Autogrow of file 'Prod' in database 'Production' was cancelled by user or timed out after 33156 milliseconds. Use ALTER DATABASE to set a smaller FILEGROWTH value for this file or to explicitly set a new file size.
Our production database is about 1 gig in size with 3.5 million records. I tried setting the autogrow from 30% which it was before to 100MB, but no luck, still timing out and getting the errors above. Permission should be all good, nothing has changed.
There is about 50gigs of available disk space as well, so that's not the problem. Thanks for the help.

We have a database that's growing pretty fast because of firewall logs. We need the data available via an asp.net application. I don't have great experience with SQL other than installing and doing some development as a back end, so i'm wondering if there's a general rule of thumb of database size, when you should start breaking it out into smaller segments? if so, what are some good practices?

I have a database that seems to have grown out of control. I have tried deleting tables, but that has not really reduced the size. What could have caused the database to grow this big and what can I do to reduce it's size. I have backed up, truncated the logs, ran the shrink database command, all to no avail. Pleas help.

Does anyone know at what point SQL Server 7.0 decides to grow the database when the autogrow option is set? Our site just went down for 45 minutes because the growing process was taking too long as compared to the data coming in, so the device filled up.

Hi ALL
I have question about database automatically growing for SQL Server 7. It seems to me that SQL database automatically grow will ONLY happen when it's getting really full, maybe above 90% full. Even if you manually increase the DB size, actually the increased DB size will only keep very short time. And DB size will be back to the smaller size again. If you have any suggestions I will be really appreciated. Thanks

I have a database that is growing by 40 to 50 megs a day. I understand that the '_W' objects are statisical information for query performance and not indexes, but does anybody know how much disk space is actually used by these objects. I do have the 'auto create statistics' and 'auto update statistics' set on.

Hi All.I'm currently maintaining 4 servers - 1 for public/customers and 3for backups, development, etc...I regularly backup the entire SQL database for our public server andrestore it on each of the other servers. Lately, however, the databasebackups have grown (in size) incredibly fast - they've gone from about200MB to 2+ GB in 2 months. (I wasn't entirely surprised by this atfirst since our client traffic has drastically increased as well.) Theweird thing, though, is that (on two of the backup servers) when Irestore the backup then use those servers to create a new completebackup, the new backup is only about 200-300 MB in size.My assumption is that there's some kind of setting buried deep insidethe sql configuration allowing it to compress or otherwise alterbackups. Does anyone have any ideas/thoughts as to what may be causingthis issue?We're using SQL Server 7 on Windows 2000 servers.Thanks in advance.GreggJoin Bytes!

We're a very small company, I’m the “technical” director who has evolved enough skill in a wide variety of tasks (network setup, machine config, email systems, html, asp, database...) and then one day you notice that parts of the system are starting to get way more complex and troublesome than the layman knowledge you have can cope with... Well, I think I’ve got to that point and I need some outside help to get our system to the next level!
OK, some rough details to start with. We run a small but fast-growing vehicle tracking system that sends back a LOT of data via GPRS to our SQL 2000 Enterprise server hosted on a dedicated server in London. The physical machine is a P4 3.2Ghz Dual-core Dell rackmount with 2GB RAM and 2 x 76GB SCSI disks in a RAID 1 array. This is partitioned into a 15GB C: partition and a 51GB D: partition. The system paging file is set to be 1536MB and is on the C: partition. The server is used for everything we do... it runs Smartermail email server (only about 5 or 6 domains and a few users, hardly used at all), SQL server as mentioned, web server & the proxy software that receives incoming data from our tracking devices.
There are 9 or 10 active databases on the SQL server. 8 of them take up less than a gigabyte between them and are sparingly used. The main “active” database on the SQL server is the tracking system – and this is big... As our tracking devices send in data every 10 – 30 seconds, the database is hit with hundreds of thousands of events per day. On a weekday, some half a million rows of data are written to the main “events” table on the database. Over 7 days from 26th November to 2nd December, almost exactly 3 million rows of data were written to the events table. We undertake to hold 3 months or so of data “live” for our customers and I periodically archive data off. I’ve been too busy to archive recently and the database is holding data on the events table going back to July 1st. The physical .mdf file is just under 30GB on partition d: at present. The plan is to drop the active data stored to only 1 – 2 months, but this still leaves a 12GB .mdf file.
The worrying thing with this is that this is only 700 or so devices writing to us at present... we aim to have thousands out there soon! We are looking into how we can hugely improve system performance and look to the future. Our hosting company is recommending VMWare virtual servers and SAN storage, but I’m not entirely sure that is the best way forward.
Our non-tech MD thinks the way forward is to have one database per customer and can't understand when I tell him I think that's bad as it will create all the system tables and bits & pieces for EVERY customer if we do that, right? Also it would be a nightmare to add a new column to a table as I'd have to update every single version of the database too... I want to avoid this unless I'm missing something and this is actually the best way to go forward?
I've had someone mention horizontal partitioning to me? not sure what implications this has to coding and table naming? Or is it all one big database spread among separate servers?
Currently our server is drowning on disk access and it's only going to get worse... any suggestions or links to reading online that I can do would be great, thanks!

I upgraded from SQL 6.5 to SQL 7 last month, and so far, everything's
been going fine.
However, I'm not using my old SQL 6.5 backup scripts, which, when the
backup was done, would dump the transaction log with TRUNCATE_ONLY, shrinking
the log size.
My SQL 7 server is set up with a Maintenance Plan which does everything,
including backup, but the log file seems to be growing and growing. I'm
up to 4.5 gigs now, for a database with a data file of 3.5 gigs.
How do I "dump transaction with TRUNCATE_ONLY" on a SQL 7 database?
Thanks,
Todd Wallace

I have merge replication setup up for 6 SQLCE Subscribers.
I have noticed that the MSmerge_tombstone table is growing
at a fast rate regardless of any changes to the data in
the database. It seems to be consistantly adding 50 rows
of data to the table every 2 minutes. As the table grows
it causes the SQLCE subscirbers to fail with the following
message:
ERROR: -2147467259
SQL Server Reconciler failed: Run
ERROR: -2147200925
: Failed to enumerate changes in the filtered
articles.
ERROR: 0
: {call sp_MSsetupbelongs
(?,?,?,?,?,0,?,?,1,?,?,?,?,?,?)}
ERROR: 0
: The merge process timed out while executing a
query. Reconfigure the QueryTimeout parameter and retry
the operation.
I'm sure that this is due to the size of the
MSmerge_tombstone.
Should the MSmerge_tombstone table grow at this rate?
36,000 rows every 24hrs!
I understand there is the sp_mergecleanupmetadata Stored
procedure but if i use this does that mean that because i
have to reinitialise all the subscribers, they are going
to have to pull down the whole subscription again.
I have since Changed a settings to make subscription
expiration date to 8 days instead of never expires but
we're still getting 50 rows added every 2 minutes
SQL SERVER 2000 SP3
Hope someone can shed some light on this for me.
Thanks.

Hi,
I need to expand tempdb database. The users keep getting this error
when they try to do a sort:
SQL Server message(1510): state 2
Sort failed. Out of space or locks in database 'tempdb'
Also in the error log I am getting these errors:
Error 1105, Severity: 17, State: 1
Can't allocate space for object '-641' 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 or sp_extendsegment to
increase the size of the segment.
What I am wondering is if expanding tempdb will fix the problem, or is
there another fix that I should be looking at.
Any direction you could give me on this would be appreciated. I have very
little experience with SQL 6.5
Thanks in advance
Phil

"Could not allocate new page for database 'TEMPDB'. There are no more pages available in filegroup DEFAULT. Space can be created by dropping objects, adding additional files, or allowing file growth."
I get this error when running a query on another database. But why?
Both data and transaction files on TEMPDB are set to "automatically grow file" and "unrestricted file growth" and there is 70GB of free space on the disk drive. Shouldn't the files just grow? Why would this happen?

I get the following error when doing a variety of basic queries on other databases:
"Could not allocate new page for database 'TEMPDB'. There are no more pages available in filegroup DEFAULT. Space can be created by dropping objects, adding additional files, or allowing file growth."
This doesn't make any sense since they are set to auto grow and there is plenty of disk space to do so.
Both data and transaction files of tempdb are set to:
"Automatically grow file" is checked
"Maximum file size" is set to "Unrestricted file growth"
Growth rate of 10%
Both tempdb data file and transaction file are on D: but all drives have ample space:
