Transaction Logs Size Not Increasing

Jul 20, 2005

Just wondering if you could help me on this one. I'm not sure if my
transaction logs are behaving oddly or what. I've successfuly managed
to shrink my transaction logs from 7GB down to 1MB and now I find it
strange that the log file doesn't seem to increase its size. The
timestamp of the logfile is updating as well. But the size of the file
is constant. I haven't configured my database to do auto-shrink so Im
really confused why it hasn't changed its size for more than a month
now.
Hope I'm not losing any data here.
Kindly advise.

Increasing The Log Device Size

Dec 6, 1999

I am having trouble increasing the size of the log device on a SQL 6.5 database. When I use SQL Enterprise Manager I get an error saying that the device has 0 MBs available. When I use the ALTER DB statement I get an error saying that there is not enough space on the disk, but I know this not to be the case. Has anyone any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Mdf And Ldf File Size Not Increasing

Jun 18, 2008

Hello, relatively new to SQL Server.

I have a database with 1 .mdf data file and 1 .ldf t-log file. There are multiple inserts/deletes/transactions performed on the data daily, but the size of the two files remains constant (5,774,,336 and 153,480 respectively)??? I perform daily full backups and hourly T-log backups (during business hours of 9-6) and these backup files change size, but why aren't my physical DB files changing? I have them set to auto-grow at 10% unrestricted...

Thanks for your help/advice

SQL 2012 :: Datetime To Date Datatype Increasing Index Size?

Mar 6, 2014

I have a database which is centered around two date tables (approx. 5.5 million records each). We are finally making the big leap from SQL Server 2005 to 2012. The data is currently stored as datetime, and we are hoping to take advantage of the new date datatype, since the time component is not needed.

The first table has 13 different date columns. In testing on the 2012 server I have changed 3 columns so far, and have seen that changing the datatype to date is actually increasing the Index size and not affecting the data size. Only 3 of the columns are associated with indexes, and modifying a non-indexed column still increased the index size. I am running the Disk Usage by Table report to view the sizes.

Facing Problem In Increasing Connection String Pool Size Sqlserver

Mar 4, 2005

Hi to all,

I am using a connection string like

data source=RemoteHostName;initial catalog=myDb;password=sa;user id=sa;
Max pool size = 200;

And now strange thing is happening ,, I am receiving error :

Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection
from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in
use and max pool size was reached

The SqlServer Activity Manager is telling that only 100 connections are pooled, and I guess that the Max pool size is 100, It is not being changed by my Connection string. As I am trying to change the default 100 pool size value to 200.

Huh , So stucked up , how to increase the Max pool size.. Is there any way .

I am getting worrried.

Any help ??

Thx and Regards

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.

Database Size Allocation - Where Other Than Tables, Logs, Etc ????

Jul 12, 2007

I have a Db that is 1.7 gigs. The table data takes approximately 200megs. The transaction logs were truncated. Where else can this large size be coming from and how can I confirm?

DB is generally small. ~25 tables, 100 SPs, 10 views, etc.

Note:

I have 4 queues using SQL Notifications, but when selecting from them results in no data.

Thanks

Can I create a second transaction log file for the DB and then delete the original log file?

What is the best way to do this for db's that are being replicated?

Transaction Logs

Jan 8, 2004

i 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

Hi, I know just about nothing about SQL Server. I am getting this error:The log file for database 'my_database' is full. Back up the transaction logfor the database to free up some log space.I can't access the transaction logs to back them up. I am told that my ISP'stech support should have it set up to shrink those logs automatically everyso often. Is that true?Why are they needed? Up till Monday, the logs are just of our getting SQLServer set up, so couldn't the logs just be deleted? Most of my site can'trun with this problem.I'd appreciate any enlightenment anyone can give me!Thanks, Jill

SQL 7.0 Transaction Logs Won't Shrink!!!

Jun 5, 2002

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 :-(

How Can I Move Transaction Logs?

May 4, 2000

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.
