Transaction Log 73.6% Space Used

Feb 20, 2001

Hi Folks,

It has come to my attention recently that my Transaction Log 200MB and a 1Gb Data Device has gotten much bigger than it used to be after
I deleted several thousand rows of data.
It used to be under 5% space used and now has settled at around 70 % space used. I have dumped the transaction log with no_log and done
backups immediately after on several ocassions and this has not solved the problem. I have also increased the log size from 150MB to 175MB
but this does not seem to have solved my problem.

Anyone got any ideas on how to decrease the % used log space in the Transaction Log ?

Is it bador unwise to have so much of the Transaction Log space used up ?

Thanks in advance,
Alan

Problem With Space Allocated For Transaction Log Space

Dec 5, 2001

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 !

Transaction Log Space To Large

Feb 24, 2000

I am new to SQL and might be missing something very easy. I have a situation where the space allocated to the transaction log of a database is extremly large (5 Gig). I can not manually reduce it. This gives me a "Error 21335: [SQL-DMO]The new DBfile size must be larger than its current size." This is a problem because the increase in size has taken all available space on the server.

I tried truncating the log the Log space available is still the same and neither there is a change in the data space. It should`nt eat that much of data space according to my analysis.

How Much Space Used In Each Transaction Log File

Mar 22, 2007

Is there a way to know how much space is free in each transaction log file of the same database?

Example:

A database with 3, 1GB files for transaction log: A, B and C created in this sequence.

From what I have read, since SQL Server 2005 writes to a single transaction log only, I guess if the transaction log is using 2.5GB than A and B are full and B is only half full. Is this correct?

Thanks.

Why Does Database Need Minimal Space In Transaction Log?

Jul 27, 2000

The transaction log takes up a lot of space on my database, and even after I try truncating the log, doing a transaction log backup, and then shrinking it, I am not allowed to reduce the size of the transaction log to less than 250MB. Is there some reason why this space is required?

Transaction Log Backup On Server With Less HDD Space

Nov 29, 2007

Hi,

I started working in one company as a DBA where the Ex-DBA left the company long time back. So all the databases have huge transaction logs (50-80GB) in size. But the problem is-
1. HDD space on the m/c its only 45GB. When I ran TLog backup cmd on that m/c, the hdd space was started reducing around 1GB/min and in few minutes I saw hdd space left is only 15GB so I stopped cmd (It had completed only 37% of the backup).
Second time again I tried to take TLog backup on hdd placed on n/w path but again I saw it was eating local disk space very fast.

So my question is, Is it like when you take Tlog backup of size say 80GB it will use 80GB local hdd as a temporary storage?

2. For this I found 1 workaround- I took Full backup then I restored it on some other m/c, then shrun the log files to few MB's then I again took Full backup of this shrunk db and restored it on production.
Is this only solution to my problem(Very less space on production's local HDD)? If anyone knows better soln than this then plz suggest me.

Thanks in Advance.

DB Engine :: Transaction Log Space Usage On TempDB Ever Increasing

Jun 15, 2015

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.

Problem Backing Up Database And Transaction Log Due To Disk Space Limitations

Jul 23, 2005

I am having a problem backing up my database and TLog files due to alack of local diskspace. The db file is about 30GB and the TLog isabout 20GB each on a different hard disk. Each disk doesn't haveenough available space to accomadate a backup. I also can't shrink thefiles because part of that procedure would require a backup.Question: Can I use a redirected drive for the backup media? Is therea way to trick SQL into allowing this? If the answer is no, doesanyone have a suggestion as to want I should do? I am in the processof requesting more disk space,but that could take a while.Thanks,

Mutilple Space Gets Converted To Single Space In Report Viewer Control

Feb 23, 2007

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 &lt;Pre&gt; instead of <pre>)

But in all the cases result is same. The Report Viewer control is showing €œ&nbsp€? 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.

Trans Log-&>space Allocated 27GB, Space Used 100MB

Mar 2, 2005

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?

Error 8525: Distributed Transaction Completed. Either Enlist This Session In A New Transaction Or The NULL Transaction.

May 31, 2008

Hi All

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.

set XACT_ABORT ON

TRANSACTIONS In SSIS (error: The ROLLBACK TRANSACTION Request Has No Corresponding BEGIN TRANSACTION.

Nov 14, 2006

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.

Anyone know of the reason?

Analysis :: Find Amount Distribution Across Different Transaction Types Under Spend Transaction

Jul 27, 2015

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]

Problem With SSIS Transaction...Transaction Scope

Jun 1, 2006



Hi,

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?

New Transaction Cannot Enlist In Transaction Coordinator (was Please Help...)

In my ASP application, I've been using this code:

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!!!

Thanks so much,
