Hi all,
I'm having a problem with one of our ddbb because we didn't run the maintenance plan from the beginning. The thing is that the hard drive is out of space and the log files are around 100GB. We only have 20MB free. Do you think that is space enought to run the maintenance plan or the shrink command??
Thanks very much!!!
The primary database i'm responsible for has started to grow super fast. Every couple of days is growing by 10% (which matches with the db settings). But, the recent growth doesn't match with the historical growth. It took a couple of months to grow from 7 to 8 GB, but it has grown to about 24 Gb in the last 2 months. Bottom line - trust my assertion that it's growing alarming fast.
I need help determine what objects are fueling the growth. If I know the objects, I can probably determine the cause. From a flip-side, it might be legit data stored very poorly. I'm open to any ideas...but I need to get ahead of this problem in the next week or so...or I'm going to run out of room on the hard drive and could start to affect my users.
Please send my any ideas you might have.
Thanks,

I have seen a couple of cases where an error occurs on a server running SQL Server 2005, and very quickly the log folder at MSSQL.1MSSQLLOG starts filling up with files, and does not stop until the entire hard drive is full (at which time the server stops responding). Is there any way to limit the number of .dmp files that are written?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe are experiencing problems when using OLEDB Fast Load option with transaction. We have a sequence container containing a Data Flow Task with a OLEDB source selection from tab1 left join tab2 and inserting into tab2 on a OLEDB Destination Fast Load.
The setup/troubleshooting is:
We are using TransactionOption=Requiered on the sequence container holding the Data Flow Task
OLE DB destination with Fast Load, no table lock, no check constraints
Dosn't happen on small sized data - seems as if everything can be contained in one buffer the task succeeds
Only a problem when selection and insertion is on the same table - or a view based on the same table
I know that we can use the OLE DB destination without Fast Load but this will perform badly on big sized data so that is not an option.
The errormessage is as follow:
Code Block
Information: 0x402090DF at dft Upsert Sag, OLE DB Destination [8295]: The final commit for the data insertion has started.
Error: 0xC0202009 at dft Upsert Sag, OLE DB Destination [8295]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "This operation conflicts with another pending operation on this transaction. The operation failed.".
Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem?
I've been through the forum and read a number of threads on people's DBs not growing and the answer usually is they don't have auotmatically grow data file. Unfortunately I have this on, but when I look at the properties of the database it reports the space available is 0.00 MB? Up until about two weeks ago I was showing appx 48% space utilization. When I ran an SP to show growth, it tells me that it was expanded by 20% yesterday, but SQL Server is still telling me the space available is zero.
The log file is also set for auto growth. The DB is 14.5 GB in size and the drives still have around 92 GB of space.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any ideas? Does anyone know of an SPs that can give me detailed info on internal data file size compared to stated size (i.e. wasted space in data file)? Is SQL Server doing something funny in the way it is seeing the database or data files individually? Any help is appreciated.
What is the best way to clear the transaction logs. My backup job each night is ending because it says it is running out of disk space and I need to clear up the transaction logs. Any help is appreciated. I see many different options (trucate option, auto shrink, etc.), just need some assistance tosome more specific best approaches. Thanks

When we backup the transaction log,will it truncate the log or it will grow from there?Truncate log on check point is desabled.
Thanks!
to take the transaction log back up regularly I should have truncate log on check point false. If I do so then how will I truncate the log.

View 3 Replies View Relatedi have several sql servers doing maintenance plans and backing up the transaction logs to tape. unfortunately it seems that the server keeps adding the transaction logs to the same tape, without overwriting them. Nowadays a transaction log backup to disk takes 2 minutes but when done to tape it is taking up 1hr54minutes. What can i do so that the tape is automatically initialised without having to do it manually... Thanks

View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am trying to figure out the time a certain store procedure was executed. I know the SP's name and approximetly the time it was executed. Is this possible to do?
Honestly, i am not sure if SQL server 2005 is smart enough to keep track of commited transaction on the server.
Any suggestins?

I have seen quite a few people post this type of problem, but I am finding few solutions. Your advice and/or experiences are greatly appreciated.
Here's my scenario:
Environment: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, SQL 7.0 (set up for Transactional Replication)
Problem: We have several remote dB machines configured for full recovery. On these machines are several dB's that are capturing aprox. 280 data points per second per unit. (Each dB represents one unit, and we have 21 units) No problem here. The problem is the transaction logs, that obviously grow profusely, will not SHRINK after, backups, dbcc commands and TSQL has been issued in failed attempts to shrink the logs. (in other words we've tried everything)
My questions are:
1. Because we are replicating, is it absolutely necessary to configure dB's for FULL recovery? How do I check in 7.0 if the dB is certainly in FULL vs. SIMPLE recovery mode?
2. I work with SQL 2000 and shrinking files is no problem. How can we shrink these log files in SQL 7.0?
It is rather urgent I find a solution as we are running out of hard drive space on our remote machines. Please help :-(

I am having trouble Truncating a Transaction Log. I`ve tried everything in Book Online.
I`ve backed up the database, I`ve tried DBCC SHRINKFILE, DBCC SHRINKDATABASE, BACKUP LOG TRUNCATE_ONLY ...etc, but it will not shrink. Any suggestions ? Thanks.
Currently, my databases and their corresponding transaction logs are all on the same disk array. I finally was able to acquire a seperate disk, specifically to seperate the logs, in case of failure, etc.
Now, I need to figure out how to go about moving the tansaction logs off the current disk array and on to the new disk.
In Enterprise Manager, I brought up "Properties" for the first database, and went to the "Transaction Log" tab. Clicked on the "browse" or "..." button in the location field and got the following message:
"A transaction log file's physical name cannot be changed once the transaction log file has been created". :(
I have been looking through Books On Line, but have been unable to find anything helpful yet.
Can anyone help me figure out how to go about moving a transaction log's location? There has to be some way.
Even if it involves shutting down the server, altering system tables, etc. I need to get these moved.
Your help is appreciated. Thanks.
Hi all,
I have set up a maintenance plan to backup my databases but when I view the maintenance plan history the transaction log backup steps have a success tick but a message saying :
"Backup can not be performed on this database. This sub task is ignored"
I have looked in my backup directory and only see *.BAK files and no *.TRN.
The transaction logs are supposed to back up at 1AM and the databases at 2AM
All my databases being backed up have the truncate log on checkpoint option set. Is this best practise according to my backup schedule ?
Help !!!!

Hi all,
I am restoring database from Transaction Logs. I followed all the steps
mentioned in the book. Just before the last step there are three options
1. Leave Database Operational. No Additional Logs can be Restored.
2. Leave Database Nonoperational But Able to Restore Additional
Transaction Logs.
3. Leave Database Read_Only And Able To Restore Additional Transaction Logs.
Option 2 and 3 aresupposed to set on the NORECOVERY flag.
I tried both options 2, and 3 , But still got messages that I did not
specify WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY.
Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in Advance.

I am currently having a problem with a transaction log not emptying even when backed up and truncated. I have done a full database backup and then a transaction log backup expecting this to flush the log however the log is not emptied and it is growing larger and larger. Even when I truncate the log it still doesn't free any space up. Can anybody out there spot the fundemental error in my working??? most grateful. Andy (SQL allegedly)

Can anybody help me understand what is going on here?
I have a MS SQL Server 6.5/SP5A database running on NT 4.0/SP4 Enterprise Edition with MS Cluster Server. On my Production box, I dump the transaction logs every 30 minutes. I need to recreate a point in time on a separate TEST box with the same hardware/software. I created a "DBA database" from a previous night of Production - no problem. However, when I start applying the transaction logs, it complains about being out of sequence. The timestamps that it is reporting are accurate for the transaction logs, but it is basically using the database load time to compare it with. (Granted I am moving from one box to another, but I didn't think this would be a problem). I created a "DBA database" on Production, went through the same steps, and it takes the database load and the transaction logs. I am assuming that the sequence numbers on the transaction logs are identified internally on the file, not per server? Ideas as to why it would complain on an out of sequence condition (Error 4305) when I move to a different box?
