Transaction Log Cannot Be Truncated Nor Shrinked, HELP!
Jul 20, 2005
The transaction log in a database in our SQLSERVER-2000 server has
grown to 16GB. I cannot shrink the transaction log manually because it
says that the entire 16GB log size is not free. This is strange
because we backup the transaction log every hour, and that should have
truncated the transaction log, and should have limited the size of the
transaction log; somehow, the entire transaction log is still marked
as being used.
I was under the impression
I believe that must have something to do with the fact that the
database is a part of our nightly replication. The reason is that when
I tried the following commands, I got that error message:
checkpoint
dump transaction isprod with no_log
The log was not truncated because records at the beginning
of the log are pending replication. Ensure the Log Reader
Agent is running or use sp_repldone to mark transactions
as distributed.
What does this mean? How can I get away from this mess?
Thanks.

My SQL Server 2000 database log was full (2MB) and I am unable to add new column to a table. So that I follow this article to truncate my log file to 1MB. It works. But when I add a new column to a table after that. The log file went back to 2MB in size and I got the "the log file is full" error message again for the operation. BTW, my reovery mode was set to "Simple". I don't understand how the save table operation can recover my change on log size. What should I do to "permanently" truncate my log?
http://www.support.microsoft.com/?id=272318
I did this:
DBCC SHRINKFILE (myDB_Log, 1)
BACKUP LOG myDB WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY
DBCC SHRINKFILE (myDB_Log, 1)

Hello All,The setting is SQL server 7, on Windows NT.If the distributor can not access the log on the publisher database ( butsubscribers are not deleted yet), will the full backup of the publisherdatabase truncate the transaction log? My guess is, it will not truncate thelog.Can any one confirm please?Thanks,Mokles

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
Begin distributed Tran

Does any body knowsfaced this issue?

Hi!
In the results of our queries, the datas in the fields are truncated to 255 chars.
Is there a parameter to change to get the entire field? Their format is varchar 8000 and the fields are longer than 255 characters in the db.
Thanks for your help.

Recently we've upgraded SQL 7.0 to SQL 2000. We use a Database Maintenance Plans to backup the databases and transaction logs. Everything seems to be working, but I’m getting an error message in the event viewer that has been described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 818202 "PRB: A'Database log truncated" Error is logged in the Event Log When you try to Backup the Transaction Log. The article describes the cause of this warning, but does not give any fix or some kind of work around. Does anybody knows what to do or may be had this problem before? Please help. Thanks a lot.

I am relatively new to SQL server. I am tring to send some decimalvalues to the database using a stored procedure with parameters of typeDECIMAL. Every time it inserts the values into the database thedecimals are truncated. I saw on the MSDN library that you have to setthe precision and scale values b/f you run the stored procedure. So Iset the precision to 8 and the scale to 4 and it still didn't help. Cananyone help me?

I'm a newbie to Transact-SQL so I apologize if this is a stupid question. Whenever I try to divide two variables of type int, I get a result where the decimal part is truncated. Here is an example:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[DIVIDE_TEST]
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE
@VAR1 int,
@VAR2 int,
@MYRESULT dec(10,5)
SELECT @VAR1 = 10
SELECT @VAR2 = 3
SELECT @MYRESULT = (@VAR1/@VAR2)
SELECT @MYRESULT
-- @MYRESULT has decimal part truncated, Returned value = 3.00000
END
Any ideas?

I have a problem with a NVARCHAR(MAX) parameter being truncated.
The signature of the UDF is:
[SqlFunction(FillRowMethodName = "SplitFillRow",IsPrecise=true,IsDeterministic=true,
DataAccess = DataAccessKind.None,TableDefinition = "pos INT, token NVARCHAR(10) ")]
public static IEnumerable SplitText (SqlChars input, SqlString strDelimiter)
{...
and deployed as:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SplitText](@input [nvarchar](max), @strDelimiter [nvarchar](10))
....
But it is still being truncated to 8000 characters. I tried using a sqlstring or using
([SqlFacet(MaxSize = -1,IsFixedLength=false)] on the parameter and a bunch of other things, but it is still truncated to 8000.
I am out of ideas...anyone with a tip?
Thanks

I'm using SQL Server 2005. I have stored procedure that selects a bunch of data from different tables and returns the results using the FOR XML clause. The problem is when I'm loading the XML, I notice that after a little over 2,000 characters, the XML string is getting truncated and thus I can't load it into an XmlDocument object. I'm also using the Microsoft Enterprise Library data access block, if that makes any difference. Here's the code:

I have a standard asp.net form and a single database table that I’m trying to pass data into. There are three nvarchar fields of lengths 50, 150, and 2400. Whenever I do an insert or update it truncates all data except for the first character. So if I pass “asdfasdf�, the db field will only receive “a�.
The data going from the form is correct; it gets truncated somewhere after the ExecuteNonQuery() call.
Here is the c# code:
public bool InsertCareer (DataRow row) {
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connStr);
try {
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.CommandText = storedProcs[(int)StoredProcedures.Insert];
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.Parameters.Add("@pkCareerID", row[0]);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@jobTitle", row[1]);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@postedDate", row[2]);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@submitBy", row[3]);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@department", row[4]);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@description", row[5]);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@intranet", row[6]);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@public", row[7]);
conn.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
return true;
} catch (Exception ex) {
//… stuff
return false;
} finally {
conn.Close();
}
}
This is the sproc code:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.zak_CareersIU_sp
@pkCareerID int,
@jobTitle nvarchar,
@postedDate datetime,
@submitBy datetime,
@department nvarchar,
@description nvarchar,
@intranet bit,
@public bit
AS
IF EXISTS (SELECT pkCareerID FROM zak_Careers WHERE pkCareerID=@pkCareerID)
BEGIN
UPDATE zak_Careers SET
jobTitle=@jobTitle,
postedDate=@postedDate,
submitBy=@submitBy,
department=@department,
[description]=@description,
intranet=@intranet,
[public]=@public
WHERE
pkCareerID=@pkCareerID
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO zak_Careers
(jobTitle, postedDate, submitBy, department, [description], intranet, [public])
VALUES
(@jobTitle, @postedDate, @submitBy, @department, @description, @intranet, @public)
END
Please let me know if you have any ideas!
thanks

Hi,
I have hit a brick wall with this. My code is as below
public void fillCustomer()
{
string connectionString = "server='local'; trusted_connection= true; integrated security=sspi; database='Mrbob'";
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection dbConnection = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString);
string queryString = "SELECT * FROM [Customer] WHERE ([CustomerID] = @CustomerID)";
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand dbCommand= new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand();
dbCommand.CommandText = queryString;
dbCommand.Connection = dbConnection;
System.Data.IDataParameter param_CustomerID = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter();
param_CustomerID.ParameterName ="@CustomerID";
param_CustomerID.Value = customerID;dbCommand.Parameters.Add("@CustomerID", SqlDbType.Int);
dbCommand.Connection.Open();
System.Data.IDataReader dataReader = dbCommand.ExecuteReader();
dbCommand.Connection.Close();
while(dataReader.Read())
{
customerID = dataReader.GetInt32(0);
date = dataReader.GetDateTime(1);
eposCode = dataReader.GetInt32(2);
}
dataReader.Close();
}
The error I am getting is
Prepared statement '(@CustomerID int)SELECT * FROM [Customer] WHERE ([CustomerID] = ' expects parameter @CustomerID, which was not supplied.
As you can see from my queryString the @CustomerID parameter is passed in. It seems as if the string is being truncated at 64 characters long. If I remove the paramter to pass the relevant infomration and pass in a customerID I know exists it works.
I am really stumped on this and would really appreciate any pointers

I am trying to send a large string to my table where I have typed the field as "text". The data is truncated ( I am only sending about 5kb and it is being truncated to about 4kb). I am using SQL 2000.
My web page is classic.asp and I am sending a parameterized query to my stored procedure.
This is the relevelant code for the parameter I'm sending:
objCmd.Parameters.Append = objCmd.CreateParameter("@PostBody",adLongVarChar,adParamInput,20000,PostBody)
This is the typing in my stored proc: @PostBody text,
I can either INSERT or UPDATE using Query Analyzer and the data is NOT truncated.
Wondering if it was my parameterized query that was causing me trouble, I rewrote the code to send the SQL upfront (skipping the stored proc), and the calling the stored proc from my .asp page passing in the parameters in a string. All three ways are truncating the data.
I have isolated that the truncation is happening on the way in, not on the way out.
Because I can successfully insert/update with QA, I'm wondering if there is some IIS issue that is causing the truncation. But I don't manage our IIS server so I really don't know much about that end of things.
I have been researching this issue for two days with no luck. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Sometime when I€™m using the Data Flow designer I create a task that displays a red circle with a white €œx€? in it. Usually, but not always, the tooltip appears explaining the problem. Sometimes when the tooltip appears I can€™t read the message fully because it is truncated. What can I do in that case?

I have an Oracle table which contains a LONG column and I need to migrate the data from this table using SSIS to a table in SQLServer. The column in SQLServer is defined as nvarchar(MAX). This works until I changed the Oracle table to a view. The columns in the view are defined exactly the same as the source table except that it uses a database link to point to the table in a different schema. When executing the data flow task using the view, it gives me the following error message -
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated ".
The error happens only on views with LONG column. Views with only varchar or numeric data types work fine.
Why does it work with a table but not a view which contains a LONG column?
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Hello all,
I have a COM object (written in VB6) that uses the Microsoft Remote Data Object 2.0 (MSRDO20.dll) to perform non-exotic SQL statements (i.e. SELECTs, INSERTs, UPDATEs and DELETE).
I am using SQL Server 2000 with SP4.
Some of our INSERT statements are being truncated within SQL2K...
We have turned on the SQL Profiler to verify this. Using our own logging mechanism, we log the INSERT SQL being passed to SQL2K immediately before executing the MS SQL statement and our log shows that the INSERT statement is indeed correct. However, we get a SQL error back due to malformed SQL. The SQL Profiler shows that the last 10 bytes have been truncated from the INSERT SQL within SQL2K.
The INSERT statement that we are passing is in the following form...
INSERT (column names...) VALUES (...)
There are embedded CRs (0x0D) in the INSERT.
The length of the INSERT being passed to SQL2K is 2243 bytes.
The length of the INSERT from the Profiler is 2233 bytes (the last 10 bytes were truncated).
Here's a brief glimpse of our VB6 code...
Dim Cn as rdoConnection
Dim sSql as String
Set Cn = New rdoConnection
Cn.Connect = "DSN=FrontOff;UID=Front;PWD=Front;DATABASE=FrontOff;"
Cn.CursorDriver = iCursorDriver
Cn.LoginTimeout = 5
Cn.QueryTimeout = 5
Cn.EstablishConnection rdDriverNoPrompt
sSql = "INSERT INTO PLU €¦"
Cn.QueryTimeout = 300
// Log sSQL to our logging mechanism...
Cn.Execute sSql, rdExecDirect
So, is there a maximum length for a SQL statement in SQL2K???
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA!!!

Hi Folks,
After I inserted a row in my Database (row 27) I started getting this error when I try to insert, update or delete the record in the database.
I've searched about the error on google and it says that I should have a field that crossed the limit of characters.
I have only the autoincrement field, two varchar fields and a text field, neither one of the varchar fields crossed the limit, they arent even close. I found in google that one solution would be turn the field that is having problems in a text field, but the only field that actually can be causing the problem already is of the text type.
The exact error I get on VS 2005 when trying to change something in the row 27 is:
"No row was updated.
The data in row 27 was not committed.Error Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider.Error Message: String or binary data would be truncated.The statement has been terminated.
Corret the errors and retry or press ESC to cancel the change(s)."
I need some help guyz, see ya, hugs.

I am currently developing a simple program that will upload ms-word documents to a database so users can view them within the department.
The program worked prefectly while using sql 2005 with the these fields:
FormId intFileName nvarchar(50)FileBytes varbinary(Max)
This was done in unit testing, now in system testing there is a difference.
A slight downgrade in the database and server software!
We are using sql 2000 on a 2000 server and the FileBytes datatype had to change to the following:
FormId intFileName nvarchar 50 FileBytes varbinary 8000
There is no 'Max' option in sql 2000 for the datatype varbinary.
So when the insert is perform, we get this error message:
String or binary data would be truncated.The statement has been terminated.
I am guessing it has something to do with FileBytes, because this is the only thing that changed.
I just don't know how to solve the problem.P.S.The application is in ASP.NET 2.0
Thanks,
