How To Back Up The Transaction Log For The Database?
Feb 8, 2001Hi all,
I'm getting the following error message in NT event view:
Error: 9002, Severity: 17, State: 2
The log file for database 'db_sys' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space.
But I don't know how to back up the transaction log for the database.
Do I need TRUNCTE LOG (in E.M) to free up some log space?
I only know back up all the database using ALL TASKS -> BACKUP DATABASE in E.M. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Transaction Not Rolling Back
Mar 19, 2007I have a stored procedure that calls another stored procedure with thefirst stored procedure opening a transaction:BEGINSET XACT_ABORT ONBEGIN TRANSACTIONdoes various updates/insertscalls 2nd stored procedure to proccess updates/inserts common to manyother stored proceduresdoes more various updates/insertscommitENDThe problem I'm having is that within the 2nd stored procedure is thatif it encounters an error, it does not roll back the entiretransaction and I finish up with missing records in the database. Amusing this in the 2nd stored procedure:if(@TypeId1 = @TypeId2 and @Line1 <'' and @Line2 <'')beginRAISERROR('error message', 16, 1)RETURNendWhat could the problem be? From what I've read, it seems as thoughyou can't have an open transaction within one sp that calls another spand it maintains the same transactoin? Is this corrrect?I tired the following too, and I still couldn't get it to work. Anyideas anyone?************ sp 1 ***********Declare @AddressError char(3)SET XACT_ABORT ONBEGIN TRANSACTIONexec Sp2@AddressError OUTPUT,@variable1,@variable2,etc. etc************** sp 2 *****************@AddressError char(3) OUTPUT,if(@TypeId1 = @TypeId2 and @Line1 <'' and @Line2 <'')beginRAISERROR('error message', 16, 1)RETURNendSET XACT_ABORT ONBEGIN TRANSACTIONprocess updates/insertsSet @AddressError = 'no'Commit******** back to sp 1************If @AddressError <'no'BEGINrollback transactionENDcontinue doing updates/insertscommit

Jun 16, 2007Hi,
I have a case where I read from SQL Server DB and write to a flat file.
I have one Data Flow Task inside which I have a OLEDB source component that feeds rows to a script component that writes to a flat file. I have set the txn attributes for the container to "Required" and "Read committed" . But I find that rows are written to flat file even when I throw an exception from my script component. Question is how do I prevent rows from being written to the flat file if error/exception happens. I want the whole process to be in a single transaction.
Thanks

Mirroring And Rolling Back Transaction Log
Mar 17, 2008hi,
i want to create a disaster recovery site, to which i can fail over (not automatically),
and also to have the option to return the database to a point in time?
for example,
if my principal server fails in 17:00,
i want to have the option to make the mirror server available for users from 17:00 (or at least close to that time),
and also to be able the return to the data from 16:00 (in the mirror site).
Is it possible, and what is the best way to do it?
Thanks.
Back Up And Restore Using Transaction Log And Incremental Backup
Feb 1, 2001hi, I would like to know the correct reaction for a crash in both senarios.
First senario,
I made a full back up at 6 am , then scheduled sql server to make transaction log back up every 2 hours (8,10,12,2 pm,4,6,8) . If I have a crash at 12:30. How would I resotre the data in the first senario....Can I restore the full back up done at 6 am then restore the last transaction log backup ( which is 12 Noon ) . I am not sure If I need to resotre the whole tran from 6 am till the time it was crashed.
Second senario,
I made a full back up at 6 am, then scheduled sql server to make Incremental backup every 2 hours (8,10,12,2 pm,4,6,8) . If I have a crash at 3:00 pm. How would I resotre the data in the second senario. ....Do I restore the full backup at 6 am then restore each incremental backup backwords ( 2,12,10,8)
AS you can see, I am not sure how to deal with this issue, I do appreciate your feedback.
Best regards

Rolling Back Transaction Logs Database
Feb 3, 2004I have a Development database and I want to roll it back to Monday morning. I backed up the database and used the command:
RESTORE DATABASE ITTEST
FROM ITTEST20040203
WITH NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE LOG MyNwind
FROM ITTEST20040203
WITH RECOVERY, STOPAT = 'FEBRUARY 2, 2004 09:00 AM'
GO
The transaction logs have never been truncated.
But it does not seem to have worked. It this the best way to do a roll back the database or have I missed out something.
thanks.

Rolling Back Transaction After .Commit() Runs Successfully
Jun 10, 2007I have a page that runs a transaction correctly after a button click.
I want to allow someone to click a button that rolls back the transaction, after the transaction runs on the first button click.
I can also successfully roll back within the first button click.
I'm getting a NullReference error when trying to access SqlTransaction.Rollback() outside the button click.
If SqlTransaction.Commit() completes without error can SqlTransaction.Rollback() be called after?
I tried making 'trans' a more global variable and it still gave me the error.
Button Click 1:
Dim trans As SqlTransaction
trans = connection.BeginTransaction()
try
'run SQL Statement
trans.Commit()
Catch e As Exception
trans.Rollback()
throw e
end try
Button Click 2:
trans.Rollback()

Transaction Scope Rollback Does Not Roll Back Action Of Activation SP
Aug 16, 2007Hi,
I followed Remus' post about not doing 'fire and forget'.
I have two queues, ProcessingSendQueue and ProcessingReceiveQueue.
Once i receive from ProcessingReceiveQueue, activation SP gets called on ProcessingSendQueue and ends conversation.
However,if I then get an exception, the action of the activation SP ( ie the ending of the conversation ) does not get rolled back... is this possible? I would have thought that the action of the activation SP would get rolled back too.
My ProcessingSendQueue activation SP is as follows:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[ProcessingSendQueue_AP]
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @dh UNIQUEIDENTIFIER;
DECLARE @message_type SYSNAME;
DECLARE @message_body NVARCHAR(4000);
RECEIVE @dh = [conversation_handle], @message_type = [message_type_name], @message_body = CAST([message_body] AS NVARCHAR(4000))
FROM [ProcessingSendQueue];
IF @dh IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
IF @message_type = N'http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQL/ServiceBroker/Error'
BEGIN
RAISERROR (N'Received error %s from service [ProcessingReceiveQueue]', 10, 1, @message_body) WITH LOG;
END
END CONVERSATION @dh;
END
END
How Do You Roll Back Transactions For A Single Table From The Current Transaction Log?
Nov 1, 2007
Goofed up and ran an update query. It messed up all the data in a single table. I'm trying not to restore the table from a previous backup since the backup is more than 20 GB. It's going to take forever to restore it. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Simple Transaction
Nov 21, 2007hi,

lets say I have 2 update queries. I want to run this queries in a transaction, and make it rollback if one of the updates failed.
I'm a developer and using php to exec all the queries, so I need a simple answer from the transaction, one row with one column the can be 'success' or 'failed.' thats it.

Transaction Replication Failed After Restoring Full Back Up Of Database In NORECOVERY

The only thing I know to do at this point is to drop the publication on the production server and rebuild it completely (and with all the tables we're replicating that would take quite a bit of time.
SQL Server 2014 :: Stored Proc Timing Out Halfway Through - Rolling Back Without Transaction
Jul 7, 2015We have a high volume database with 1000's of users and 1000's of procs. Our application enforces a 20 second timeout on all connections.
We can't adjust the 20 seconds - this is a business rule.
It sometimes happens that a proc does not complete within 20 seconds and then times out halfway though. This causes data inconsistency where 50% of the code was saved to the DB and 50% was not - seeing that a stored proc is not transactional and therefor does not roll back the code.
We can't put the code in a TRANSACTION in order to roll back when a time out occurs, because this causes exclusive locks on the tables.
So I guess my question is:
Is it possible to undo/rollback all the code in a proc when a timeout occurs - without using a TRANSACTION? And if a TRANSACTION is the only way - how do I avoid the exclusive lock and blocks?
Transact SQL :: Trying To Do A Simple Sum But Missing Transaction Number
Jul 22, 2015I have a transaction number in my mapping table. I have a matching transaction number in my PDHist table. Sometimes I have matching transaction numbers in my PD table, but not always. This is causing no records to be returned. I have a One to Many relationship between my mapping table and both PD and PDHist.
Also, I need to check for nulls in my foreign exchange table.I can’t post the SQL because this is a classified project. However, it should be something like this, I think.
IIf(IsNull([Redem]![FX Rate]),([PDHist]![Remaining Balance]+[PD]![Closing Balance(TC)]).
The addition isn’t working. I think with a small push I can get this straightened out.
Transaction Log Still Growing When In SIMPLE Recovery Mode
Dec 3, 2007hi,
we have a SQL Server 2000 database which we set to 'SIMPLE' recovery mode at 6pm (due to nightly large data loads). We revert back to 'FULL' recovery mode at 6am.
My understanding was that in 'SIMPLE' recovery mode, the transaction log would not grow because it would automatically be truncated after a checkpoint. However this is not the case. I thought perhaps it could be due to a long running uncomitted transaction, but when I ran 'dbcc opentran', the oldest running transactions doesn't last for more than a couple minutes. I manually run a 'checkpoint' command as well in the hope of forcing the transaction log truncation. I repeat this a couple of times to no avail. When I run 'dbcc sqlperf(logspace)' , I can still see the transaction log growing.
It is not until I run 'backup log db with truncate_only' that the transaction log gets truncated.
I do not understand, why the transaction log does not get automatically truncated in SIMPLE recovery mode?

Can We Pause Log Shipping, Bring Primary Db To Simple Recovery Model And Then Back To Full R Model?
Apr 25, 2008
We have the following scenario,
We have our Production server having database on which Few DTS packages execute every night. Most of them have Bulk Insert stored procedures running.
SO we have to set Recovery Model of the database to simple for that period of time, otherwise it will blow up our logs.
Is there any way we can set up log shipping between our production and standby server, but pause it for some time, set recovery model of primary db to simple, execute DTS Bulk Insert Jobs, Bring it Back to Full recovery Model AND finally bring back Log SHipping.
It it possible, if yes how can we achieve this.
If not what could be another DR solution in this scenario.
Thanks Much

View 5 Replies View RelatedTransaction Log Huge Loading SQL Profiler Trace Files In Simple Mode
Dec 8, 2007
Hi there - can anyone advise on the following issue. We have recently performed some server side tracing on a particular SQL instance over 24hr period. We are now attempting to load these into a database for analysis. Here lies the problem.
When we are loading the profiler trace files (one at a time) into the database the transaction log is growing at an excessive rate. Even though the database is in SIMPLE mode.
We are loading the traces using the command:
INSERT INTO sqlTableToLoad
SELECT * FROM ::fn_trace_gettable('MytraceFileName', DEFAULT)
Can anyone advise how we could possibly get round this issue as we're running out of space due to the transaction log.
Thanks

Having Difficulty Setting Back Up To Back Up File Wihout Datetime Stamp SQL 2K
Apr 24, 2007Hello,I'm trying to create a simple back up in the SQL Maintenance Plan that willmake a single back up copy of all database every night at 10 pm. I'd likethe previous nights file to be overwritten, so there will be only a singleback up file for each database (tape back up runs every night, so each daysback up will be saved on tape).Every night the maintenance plan makes a back up of all the databases to anew file with a datetime stamp, meaning the previous nights file stillexists. Even when I check "Remove files older than 22 hours" the previousnights file still exists. Is there any way to create a back up file withoutthe date time stamp so it overwrites the previous nights file?Thanks!Rick
