Truncate Transaction Log

Feb 13, 2002

I need to truncate the transaction log, however, to do a backup on it we need 15GB of space free on the server which we don't have. How do we just force it to truncate it? I know the actual database is backedup and is OK...

Thanks,
Keith

Can't Truncate Transaction Log

Oct 7, 1999

Hello,

We have a SQL 6.5 Server with several DB's on it. Specially there's a critical DB on two separate devices for the Data and Transaction Log. The Data Device is 700MB and the Transaction Log started 210MB. Yet, the truncate function of the Log Device is not freeing space on it. We have been forced to expand the transaction device up to 860MB!!!! which is an outrageous size for it. We have tried the DBCC CHECKTABLE(syslogs)followed by DUMP TRANSACTION <<db_name>> WITH NO_LOG and then once again the DBCC CHECKTABLE(syslogs).
We even tried to create a new DB only with the dat file, but this also didn't work. Our Server Disks are almost full, and we can't grow the device no more.

Any suggestions??? PLEASE IT's REALLY URGENT!!!!

Best Regards,

Cannot Truncate Transaction Log.

Feb 27, 2004

DB Newbie question ahead.

I have a mere 100MB db with a 4GB transaction log. I want to truncate the log as I understand that truncating it will shrink the log by removing the transactions that have already taken place. However, the option to do a transaction backup is greyed out. I suspect this is from the db being in transactional replication with another server; however, I don't know for sure.

Are there any other ways that I can shrink the transaction log? I would like to do shrink it without taking the db offline either.

Truncate Transaction Log

Dec 11, 2007

We do full backup every day and recovery model is Full, but we never done transaction log backup, so the transaction log files keep growing. What should I do? I think I should set recovery model to Simple, and actually we do DBCC Shrinkdatabase after full backup every day, but the transaction log file is still around 15GB.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Transaction Log Doesn't Truncate

Dec 29, 2007

I use SSME to do a full backup of both the database & transaction log, selected "Truncate ..." in the options for the log backup. The log doesn't truncate.


I have looked at the reasons logs don't truncate in Books Online & can not find any that apply. There are no open transactions & in sys.databases log_reuse_wait is 0.

Any help would be appreciated.

Truncate Transaction Log Script Won't Work On Db Name With '-'

Feb 25, 2008

Hello all, I have a very simple script which I use to truncate and reclaim space on all the transaction logs in a SQL Server 2005 database. However, I have some Sharepoint db names I can't change that have dashes ('-') in the names, e.g., SharePoint_AdminContent_dc27334f-fb2d-4453-9764-5d8b730fb9e1. The script won't back up those databases because it has a problem with the dashes in the names. Does anyone have any thoughts on how I could modify the script to get it to work? Here is the script:

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SP_GlobalTruncate_transaction_logs]

AS

Set quoted_identifier off

DECLARE @dataname varchar(300)

DECLARE @dataname_header varchar(75)

DECLARE datanames_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT name FROM sysdatabases

WHERE name not in ('master', 'pubs', 'tempdb', 'model', 'northwind')

OPEN datanames_cursor

FETCH NEXT FROM datanames_cursor INTO @dataname

WHILE (@@fetch_status <> -1)

BEGIN

IF (@@fetch_status = -2)

BEGIN

FETCH NEXT FROM datanames_cursor INTO @dataname

CONTINUE

END

SELECT @dataname_header = 'Database ' + RTRIM(UPPER(@dataname))

PRINT ' '

PRINT @dataname_header

EXEC('BACKUP LOG ' + @dataname + ' WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY')

EXEC('DBCC SHRINKDATABASE (' + @dataname + ',TRUNCATEONLY)')

FETCH NEXT FROM datanames_cursor INTO @dataname

END

DEALLOCATE datanames_cursor

PRINT ''

PRINT ' '

PRINT 'Free space removed and transaction log truncated for each user database'
GO

And here is the error I get:
Database SHAREPOINT_ADMINCONTENT_DC27334F-FB2D-4453-9764-5D8B730FB9E1

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

Incorrect syntax near '-'.

Msg 319, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'. If this statement is a common table expression or an xmlnamespaces clause, the previous statement must be terminated with a semicolon.

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

Incorrect syntax near '-'.


Thanks so much for the help.

SQL 2012 :: Cannot Truncate Log File Which Is Part Of Transaction Replication

Feb 9, 2015

SQL 2012 Ent SP2

Database is in simple recovery mode, and published with transaction replication push subscription, just one subscriber but the database is huge. I don't want to overwrite the schema at the subscriber either.

I had to run an alter database command on a published database, it created so many logs that an extra drive had to be added along with an extra log file to accommodate all the logs.

The problem I have is I'd like to know clear the file of logs so I can drop the temporary log file, and give the drive back, but I cannot.

I have tried dbcc shrinkfile with the emptyfile option but it never clears, I have also tried it with notruncate and truncateonly options (mainly out of desperation).

I do not need to worry about point in time restore as a full backup is taken before and after the operation. After which the database will be put back into Full recovery mode.

I have looked at log_reuse_wait_desc and the file says 'Replication', so I am now thinking the file cannot empty because replication is keeping one of the VLFs active. I tried dropping and recreating the subscription hoping it might free something up and I could get somewhere, but it made no difference.

Do I have to remove replication completely to get round this? Surely not.

I have also tried putting the database back into full recovery mode, doing a full DB backup, and a transaction log backup, but its made no difference, which is also what makes me think a portion of the log is still active because of replication, and perhaps the transactions have not gone through to the subscriber, which raises another question, why not?

I have not tried restarting SQL server, as I'd like to know a way out of this without having to do that, plus I do not think it would make any difference anyway.

Truncate Transaction Log On A Pull Transactional Replication Environment

Oct 3, 2007



I created transactional replication on a database and setup pull subscriptions on each subscriber to run at a scheduled time once a day. The scheduled start time on each subscriber can differ. The transaction log on the publishing database will eventually consume all possible disk space. Is it possible (and safe) to shrink or truncate the transaction log file for the publishing database before all the subscribers completed running its daily pull subscription? If not, how can I manage disk space for the transaction log on the publishing database and ensure all transaction are replicated to the subscriber?

Thanks in advance.

Transaction Log Does Not Truncate And Shrink Using A SQL Server 2005 Maintenance Plan

May 15, 2006

We are using SQL Server 2005 (SP1). I have created a maintenance plan that backs up up the datebase every night. The problem is that the transaction log is continuing to grow. I have been told that a full backup will automatically truncate and shrink the transaction log. However, this is not happening. How can I truncate and shrink the transaction log after a full backup as part of our maintenance plan. Thank you.

'Truncate' Command Doesn't Truncate Enough

Dec 30, 2004

With a database size of almost 2 GB, I run the 'truncate table eventlog command' which completes successfully, but the database size only decreases by about 10 MB so stays too large - indeed the number of rows in the eventlog table is minimal, but the otehr tables in this database don't show such an amount of tables large enough to cause the size issue either. What could be the reason and how can I reduce it (possibly truncating another table but then which one, how could I determine which is too large and needs truncating?).

To Truncate Or Not To Truncate: That Is The Question..

Apr 17, 2008

Hi all...

Please forgive the elementary nature of my question, but could someone please explain the differences between these two database backup types:

1. Log backup
2. Log backup no truncate



From what I understand and have read, the "no truncate" backup method keeps the entire transaction log indefinitely. Using the truncation method, the transaction log is either 1) compressed or 2) cleaned up so that any completed transactions are removed from the log. Which one of these is true?


And, for the big question: is it better to run a backup of the transaction log with truncation or not? Our current backup scheme is similar to the following:


Full backup every 24 hours
transaction log backup every hour with no truncation


Should we insert a truncation backup somewhere in here? What is the danger of removing (or compressing) parts of the transaction log? Will this affect the restore process?


Thanks in advance!

Error 8525: Distributed Transaction Completed. Either Enlist This Session In A New Transaction Or The NULL Transaction.

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.

TRANSACTIONS In SSIS (error: The ROLLBACK TRANSACTION Request Has No Corresponding BEGIN TRANSACTION.

I'm receiving the below error when trying to implement Execute SQL Task.

"The ROLLBACK TRANSACTION request has no corresponding BEGIN TRANSACTION." This error also happens on COMMIT as well and there is a preceding Execute SQL Task with BEGIN TRANSACTION tranname WITH MARK 'tran'

I know I can change the transaction option property from "supported" to "required" however I want to mark the transaction. I was copying the way Import/Export Wizard does it however I'm unable to figure out why it works and why mine doesn't work.

Anyone know of the reason?

Analysis :: Find Amount Distribution Across Different Transaction Types Under Spend Transaction

Jul 27, 2015

I created a Calculated measure in cube something like this : ([TransType].[TransTypeHierarchy].[TransTypeCategoryParent].&[SPEND],[Measures].[Transaction Amount]). To get only spend transactions. Now, I want to slice this measure with same hierarchy to find the amount distribution across different transaction types under spend transaction. But this query behaving like the measure doesn't have relation with measure.

you can think this as below query:
WITH
MEMBER SPEND AS ([TransType].[TransTypeHierarchy].[TransTypeCategoryParent].&[SPEND],[Measures].[Transaction Amount])
SELECT NON EMPTY {SPEND} ON 0
,NON EMPTY ([TransType].[TransTypeHierarchy].[TransTypeCategoryParent]) ON 1
