I've got canned alerts set up on both my Principal and Mirror servers to monitor matters. One of these alerts is to send out an e-mail should the transaction log file size exceed 90% of capacity. No issues with this until last night. I had to make some configuration changes on the mirror machine which necessitated a reboot. So, I paused mirroring, cycled the machine, made sure SQL Server was back up and running and then re-started mirroring. All appears to be hunky-dory except for the fact that I am now getting spammed with alerts that the transaction log on the mirror is 100% full.
The T-log on the principal is well under the threshold (generally runs at 1-20% full between backups).
There are no space issues on the t-log drive.
Snapshot of the mirror DB looks normal and up to date.
I'm running a checkdb (on the snapshot) to see if that shows anything. Since the DB is 2.4 TB in size, though, even a PHYSICAL_ONLY takes a while.
I'm looking for advise on how to set up or create an alert that will monitor database free space. I need to receive an alert if a database becames 85% full. I need to implement this ASAP. The servers I work with are on version 7.0. I was just wondering if there is any system stored procedure or alert as such.
When Create Mirror Database Server, Where need to store the Transaction Log backup file?I took FULL Backup of my Primary Database, and I restored at my Mirror Server also. When I try to create a Mirror Database."The remote copy of database "<db_name>" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy of the database log. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:1412)".I am misplacing the Transaction Log backup file. Where I need to store that file?
I am using SQl Server 2012 Database Mirroring with around 40 gb as mdf and 1 gb as ldf. Now my ldf size increased . How to reduce ldf size while mirror enabled with mirror server and witness server. Can shrink the ldf with mirror enables.
I have a transaction log which is 1 Gb and only has about 40 Mb free. When I run DBCC loginfo I find the first active log dates back to the middle of August. Does any one have any suggestions on the best way to approach this situation. How can I query the transaction log to find out what the old transactions are? I was going to use the detach database, rename log, attach database to shrink the log but don;t want to do this incase there is active data in the log. We are doing hourly log dunps. Thanks Grant
Hi all I found that my transaction log is beig filled up and I tried to truncate it from DB properties window and I failed. I want to know how to truncate it and how to prevent it from growing up untill it's filled Thanks Mohamed
Our transaction log filled up the hard drive on the server and we are looking for a quick and easy way to delete it. Any ideas? We can't easily back it up because it is over 10500 meg in size.
I need help fast. I have a SQL Server 6.5 SP2 database that is 5000 MB and the transaction log is 1000 MB the log is 98 % full but will not truncate. I have tried all the truncate commands (Truncate only, no_log, DBCC) but it will only trucate the log like 10 MB. Dose anyone know how to truncate this log??
I have a problem with the transaction log of a database. when i truncate it and check the properties if says there are 0 MB available even though it is allocated 300 MB. this seems to be causing alot of problems. Any idea why the log will not truncate??
I am getting an error when I try to DTS data to a database that the transaction log is full. I do: backup transaction db_name with truncate_only, but I still get the error. Any ideas on how to resolve this are appreciated. Kellie
I'm still fairly new to SQL server and I've just ran into a problem when dropping some tables from my DB as my transaction log has become full. I looked at books online and it basically said to backup the log so it will also truncate the log. However I've ran out of disk space on my data drive so can't take a backup.
Is there a way to just truncate the active log to shrink the size?
Today, one of our backups failed due to the transaction log being full. I expanded the transaction log and then the backup completed normally. For a short term resolution, I increased the maximum allowed size on our transaction log files.
We are doing a database backup only as follows: backup database xxxxx to xxxx_data with init
I did find a note stating that the transaction log will eventually become full if doing a transaction log backup only. We do not generate a lot of transactions so I had not seen a need to backup the log during the day. The full database backup is done daily.
My question is, in order to permanently resolve this error do I have to: - take a transaction log backup as well. Should I take it take right after the full database backup or at some later point. - do I have to schedule/run the shrink database command.
iHi everyone I have a big transaction log took over all the disk space, I know I can backup the log to free the space but my backup drive is on the same drive. Is there any other way to clean the Transaction log without backing up?
I was trying to create a table on a Database and it gave me this message:
'tblSuggestion' table - Unable to create table. The transaction log for 'Database' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases
And I don't see the log_reuse_wait_desc column anywhere.
At the start, transaction log size is 1MB. at the middle of the dts it reached to nearly 2 GB. I encountered this error in DTS:
OnError,,,CallerType, CallerChannel, Dealer, DODealer, HotlineType, Model, Reg'l Signal Code, Account, Contact,,,10/22/2007 10:55:43 AM,10/22/2007 10:55:43 AM,-1071636471,0x,SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.

To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases".
I visited the sys.database's log_reuse_wait_desc and it is set to checkpoint.
The transaction log keeps getting full in the middle of the dts, not enough to do the 1 round execution of the dts. What to do with this one? Anything that i need to add in my dts to truncate the logs?
Well, when I start thinking: I got it all, I run into a new problem. I'm trying to execute a package that contains several (7) sequence containers each of them deleting all the records from 7 tables and inserting new rows.
I get the following error:
The transaction log for database 'MyDB' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The transaction log for database 'mydatabase' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases I have my website on a web hotel and I only have limited access to my database. How can I solve this for now, and the future??
Hi guys, I am developing this site http://www.onlineacademicadvisor.com and having DB problems for the 3rd time in a row. Whenever the traffic on the site is getting bigger, the transaction log becomes full and no user can login. This problem is described at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317375 From there, I got the feeling that the problem occurrs if transactions are not committed and last for too long. However, I do not have any explicit transactions, just the usual select, insert, update statements in stored procedures. I do not call COMMIT (or RETURN) explicitly at the end of my stored procedures though. My stored procedures are short. Have you got any ideas about what can cause the problem? I really have not idea what that could be. Your help is much appreciated.
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.
when i try to delete the records it gives the errror suggest me how to deal with this problem ===== Msg 1105, Level 17, State 2 Can't allocate space for object 'Syslogs' in database 'armaster' because the 'logsegment' 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.
I have a process that failed with the following error message. The SQL server error messages also said the Transaction log was full and there was not enough disc space.
Strangely, when I checked all the drives on the server, there was plenty of free space, the smallest amount free on one drive, where SQL server is located was 20GB. I am confused.
I backed up the DB to another server and deleted a lot of the transaction logs and now the drive has 30GB and is okay.
Does anyone know how the transaction log fills up? Can I change a setting somewhere to increase the maximum size of the transaction log? Or maybe change the location where it is saved to another drive? Or have it automatically cleared out every once in a while?
Any of your input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Rodney

Hi All,My SQL server transaction log is getting bigger every day and my HDD ifrunning out of space.So i follow the MS KB about how to Shrinking the Transaction Log.After doing so the log is much much smaller as i can see the size of itunder enterprise manager.The problem is that the HDD still shows the same size.If i shrink the DB why the and reduce its size why the HDD does notshows it?Is there a way to clear the size from the HDD?Thanks All
I have set the initial size of the log file for a database to 1M, themaximum size is unrestricted, and the increase rate is 10%.However, when I attempt to delete thousands of rows, the error is stillreported that the transaction log file is full. Why can't the log fileincrease automatically?*** Sent via Devdex http://www.devdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
After adding the Witness Server to the Mirror session, the Witness Connection state between the Mirror and Witness Connection is Disconnected and the state between Principal and Witness Connection is Connected.
The procedures defined in Books Online was used to setup Database Mirroring...when the Witness server was added to the Mirror session, only the alter database T-SQL statement was executed on the Principal server.
ALTER DATABASE <db_name> SET WITNESS = 'TCP://<servername>:<port>'
After executing the above statement, a few seconds later the state between Principal and Witness Connection changed to Connected and the state between Mirror and Witness Connection remains Disconnected.
The Mirror session is not using Certificates, every server is on the same domain, using the same domain login account, and all servers have SP2 installed running Enterprise Edition.
Any idea's why the state between Mirror and Witness Connection remains Disconnected?
