Hello;
Within SQL Ent Manager - I am unable to truncate the tran log using the shrink file option window (although I can shrink the database file) - nor can can I truncate the log using command line sql in a query analzer window (dump tran < > with truncate only)....
Anyone out there offer any suggestions??
Thanks.
Hey guys,
I'm having difficulty completely truncating my tempdb online log. It sits at 25%, and remains allocated even after I've truncated the log with backup log tempdb with truncate_only. Now, I would assume this to be normal if there is a spid who hasn't commited or rolled back a transaction, or if checkpoint hasn't run. However, running DBCC opentran('tempdb') shows me that there are no open transactions at that time, and checkpoint appears to be running fine.
Can anyone give me any hints on which way I should point with my investigation.
Regards,

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!!!!

How do you truncate the transaction log in SQL 2000?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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...

Hi!
We have trans.log 200MB in total and 71 MB free space.
I run DBCC OPENTRAN and it shows no active transactions exist.
I run DuMP TRANSACTION .... WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY and it doesny clean log also.
What to do to get space back?

A number of procedures where run that filled the transaction log. Can I truncate the log during regular working hours or should I take the database down to single user mode and truncate?
Thanks in advance..
Hi all,
please show me the way how to truncate transaction log.

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.
Hi
I need a simple command to truncate my transaction log. Currently it is 4gb and my .mdf file is only 300mb.
I have tried BOL, but all I need is a command to truncate it.
Thanks!
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.
Hi all,
Is it possible to TRUNCATE a table and BCP data into the same table in one
TRANSACTION?
My problem is that I want to refresh(delete and via BCP append new data) a
table without disturbing running applications. Can I run BCP from a
SQL-script or a stored procedure?
Thank`s

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.

Is it possible to truncate Transaction Log and Shrink DATABASE while the database is being used by users or the database becomes unuvailable during this operations?
Thank you.
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

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.
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.
We have a SQL server 2012 database with size 200mb and Transaction Log has gone up to 34GB.
We have SQL server Mirror is enabled and principal database is running with Full Recovery Model.
How can I truncate/Shrink Log files? Will it impact on existing mirroring setup? I am very much new to SQL server.
Hi,
I have one database configured with the Recovery Model "Simple".
I am getting alot of full transaction log messages... is this supposed to happen?
Another question is:
Imagine i am in a middle of a big select into statement... and in another query i run the backup truncate log... am i going to loose information on the other batch ("select into?")??
Kind Regards,

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.

Hello!
I am trying to troubleshoot weird problem. I noticed that msdb log size was growing. I have discovered jobs executing particular stored procedure that had an open transaction in msdb and killed spid in question. This stored procedure was executing sp_send_dbmail at the time I killed spid and fn_get_sql returned xp_sysmail_format_query as currently executed statement. SPID is showing KILLEDROLLBACK status but it hasn't changed for hours and msdb log continues to grow. I am running SQL Server 2005 SP1. I was wondering if anyone has expeienced similar problem. Any advice is greately appreciated.

HELP !!! I have a 1.2GB transaction log that I cannot reduce. I have tried SHRINKFILE, SHRINKDATABASE, restoring the file into a new data base, etc. The log file is only using 15MB and will not release the remainder to the OS

I've re-written a stored procedure and when I post the following codeinto the existing SP in EM, is saves OK. However, when I re-edit theSP, the last line 'Commit Transaction' has been removed.I cannot save the remainder of the SP as it throws error 208 (InvalidObject name #Max) about two of the temp tables I use when I post theentire script. It shows in a message box with the header : 'MicrosoftSQL-DMO(ODBC SQLState:42S02)I haven't posted the full SP nor the structure as it's quite large(2000 lines), so hopefully I have given enough detail, but my questionsare :Why does it now have problems with (temp) #Tables ? The use of thesehas not changed. All I have done is wrap the script into varioustransactions as this helps a lot for performance and tweaked a fewparts later in the SP again for performance.Also, why does the line get removed once I save the SP ?If I run this in QA, I get the same errors, so I suspect it's myscript, but don't know where I'm going wrong.SQL2000 (Need to upgrade the service pack as recently installed on myPC, so this may help)Thanks in advanceRyanCREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[JAG_Extract] (@ExtractYear INTEGER,@ExtractMonth INTEGER) ASBEGIN TRANSACTIONSELECT 0 AS MaxYear, 0 AS MaxMonth INTO #MaxUPDATE #Max SET MaxYear = @ExtractYearUPDATE #Max SET MaxMonth = @ExtractMonthPRINT 'Stage 1 - ' + Convert(VarChar, GetDate())CREATE TABLE #Extract ([DEALER_SOURCE_DATA_ID] INT,[DSD_YEAR] INT NULL,[DSD_MONTH] INT NULL,[DEALER_CODE] VarChar(20),[FranDealerCode] VarChar(20) NULL,[Line_No] VarChar(75),[Current] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[YTD] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[12Months] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[24Months] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[Average_YTD] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[Average12Months] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[Average24Months] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[Last_YTD] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[Current_STATUS] INT,[PD1] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD2] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD3] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD4] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD5] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD6] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD7] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD8] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD9] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD10] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD11] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD12] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD13] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD14] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD15] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD16] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD17] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD18] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD19] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD20] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD21] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD22] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD23] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD24] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD25] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD26] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD27] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD28] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD29] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD30] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD31] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD32] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD33] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD34] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD35] [numeric](15, 5) NULL,[PD36] [numeric](15, 5) NULL)INSERT INTO #ExtractSELECT DISTINCTSD.DEALER_SOURCE_DATA_ID,SD.DSD_YEAR,SD.DSD_MONTH,DN.DEALER_CODE,DN.FRAN_DEALER_CODE,DV.FIELD_CODE,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,SD.STATUS,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0FROMDEALER_NAW DN WITH (NOLOCK)INNER JOIN DEALER_SOURCE_DATA SD WITH (NOLOCK)ON DN.DEALER_CODE = SD.DEALER_CODEINNER JOIN DEALER_SOURCE_DATA_VALUES_Current DV WITH (NOLOCK)ON SD.DEALER_SOURCE_DATA_ID = DV.DEALER_SOURCE_DATA_IDAND SD.STATUS < 4096INNER JOIN DEALER_FIXED_GROUP_RELATION GR WITH (NOLOCK)ON DN.DEALER_CODE = GR.DEALER_CODEAND GR.FIXED_GROUP_ID IN(11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,23,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,4 9,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,106,109,110,111,1 12,113,114,115,130,131,132,133,134,135,136,137)GOCOMMIT TRANSACTION

I'm having issues with a query to a view that references a view on a linked server, that in turn references a view on a third server.
Query to view on Server A --> View on Server B --> View on Server C
I can query from A to B using the linked server.
I can query from B to C.

All servers at the same location on the same domain.
I cannot query a view on A, that references a view on B, where the view on B references a view/table on C
Each linked server configuration uses "Be made using this security context", with the user specified being 'sa'. I was hoping to get security out of the equation for debug purposes, hence the sa use.
I have tried from Query Analyzer using both windows and sql auth.
MSDTC is running on all servers as local system.

Dear all,
I have been attempting to set up a linked server in SQL Server 2000 to point to an Oracle database (a very old Oracle database, v7!).
The linked server set up works fine. Then I created a database on the same SQL Server. Within that database I created a view which reads information from a view in the Oracle database (linked server). When I attempted to create this view in Enterprise Manager, I get the following error:
"The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' was unable to begin a distributed transaction."
And so I created the view in Query Analyzer. This worked perfectly, no errors, and I can now go into Enterprise Manager and call up the view, which happily goes off to the view in the Oracle linked server and pulls back the info. BUT, when I attempt to do the same thing through an application on a different machine (using OLE Db, and a UDL to connect) the same error as above appears.
Does anyone know what this error means, and where I went wrong? Any help greatly appreciated. My view onto the linked server looks like this:
"CREATE VIEW dbo.NLPG_VIEW
AS
SELECT * from openquery(sadaslink, 'select * from NLPG_VIEW')"
Many thanks in advance for your wisdom!
P.S I wondered whether I need to check if the distributed transaction co-ordinator is running but don't know how.
Thanks,
I have 3 development SQL Servers A, B & C, all running SQL 2000 sp3 and Windows 2003. Servers B & C have a linked server pointing to A, and A has one pointing to B & C. The linkedservers all have RPC , RPC out enabled. I have a stored procedure called test on server A.
Create Proc test
as
Select Top 5 first_name, last_name from people
GO
--code ran on Servers B & C:
create table #tmptbl (nm varchar(100), nm2 varchar(100))
insert into #tmptbl
Exec ServerA.db1.dbo.test
When the Insert....Exec code above is ran from server B it works fine, however when I run it from Server C, I get error 7391
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. ]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a]
But regular linked server calls (directly to tables) and openquery calls work fine from either server...
Eg
insert into #tmp
Select top 5 first_name, last_name from ServerA.db1.dbo.people
--and this works also
insert into #tmp
Select * from openquery(ServerA, 'Exec db1.dbo.test')
Both servers (B & C) appear to be configured the same, and
I have reconfigured MSDTC on all three boxes through control panel and component manager, have tried using SET xact_abort, SET implicit_transactions, registry hacks (TurnoffRPCsecurity), basically everything listed on Microsoft, and everything I've been able to find in these groups.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd like to hear them.
