Does anyone know what would cause SQL MAil or Exchange to save all messages and some 1K att*.txt files to the WINNT directory? This is filling up the hard drive on a production system so it's kind of urgent.
Thanks!
Hi all,
Has anyone run into this issue before?
My company uses database mail extensively for alerting and the like, and most emails sent have attachments. We've put in place procedures for removing emails older than a month from the MSDB database, however we've now had a client server completely run out of the disk space due to attachments being stored in the C:Documents and SettingsUserLocal SettingsTemp folder!?!
When I check the sysmail_delete_mailitems_sp sproc, it only removes entries in the MSDB tables, and doesn't remove these temporary files in the temp directory.
Does anyone know why SQL Server stores them in the temp directory of the service account user, as well as how we can remove them (apart from manually deleting the files), as we need to have an automated process for cleaning up emails, and at the moment SQL Server 2005 doesn't handle this very well.
I've checked this on our test server as well, and we're getting the same there, and this server is running the latest SP2 + hot fixes.
Thanks,
Reece.
I am getting the following error while starting the outlook97.
'Unable to open your default mail folders outlook couldn't start because a location to send and receive mail could not be found.To add a location ,such as a personal folder file ,double click on the mail icon in windows control panel'
Before that I have successfully configured and tested a mapi profile for internet mail.I need only out going mail facility.
Thanks for any help.
My sql mail is grayed out and the mail icon in control panel is missing. anyone know how to enable it?
My failed jobs is not notifying me.
http://www.sqlserverstudy.com
I can't find the start option and the check box which says auto start when sql agent starts in 2000.
In sql 7.0 it was pretty simple to configure the mail.
First configure the MAPI, then restore the same in sql agent test it then go to suport service then right click on sql mail and select the profile and click start button there before this test the profile i know we had options such as auto start sqlmail when sql agent starts as well as start and stop in support service..
My problem is i don't see either of these information nor can i find the same..i tried everywhere but they seem to be lost some where..Can some let me know what exactly is the process to start and stop sqlmail in 2000.
I appreciate your help.
Thanx,
Harry

Hello!,
I'm trying to connect from a local server to a remote server using the OPENROWSET function (SQL 2000).
I'm having problems with the authentication, if I put a "SQL" user, everything goes Ok, but if I change the SQL user for a windows NT user, I get the error "login failed for user 'xx'"
For example, this query works fine:
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB','myserver';'sqluser';'mypassword',
'SELECT * FROM myDataBase.dbo.myTable') AS a
But if I try WinNT login, it fails...
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB','myserver';'MyDomainMyWinNTUser';'ThePassword',
'SELECT * FROM myDataBase.dbo.myTable') AS a
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Has anyone used this successfully from an OLEDB source component, or even from the Execute SQL Task? I've seen some examples of using a script component, but nothing that uses it through a connection manager.

I have a ton of data to load into a SQL 2005 database.
I just loaded a bunch of data for a number of tables using bcp, and the last table that my script loaded was an 8 million row table. The next table was a 12 million row table, and about 1 million rows into the bcp'ing a log full error was incurred. I have the batch size set to 10000 for all bcp commnads.
Here is the bcp command that failed:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server80ToolsBinncp" billing_data_repository..mtr_rdng_hrly_arc_t in mtr_rdng_hrly_arc_t.dat -c
-b10000 -Sxxxx -T
Here is the last part of the output from the bcp command:
...
10000 rows sent to SQL Server. Total sent: 970000
10000 rows sent to SQL Server. Total sent: 980000
10000 rows sent to SQL Server. Total sent: 990000
SQLState = 37000, NativeError = 9002
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The transaction log for database 'billing_data_repository' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases
BCP copy in failed
I thought that a commit was issued after every 10000 rows and that this would keep the log from filling up.
The log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases is set to 'LOG_BACKUP' for the database being used.
Does a checkpoint need to be done more often?
Besides breaking up the 12 million row data file into something more manageable, does anyone have a solution?
How can I continue to use my same loading script, and keep the log from filling up?
Thank you.
I have a class that works fine using the SQLDataReader but when I try and duplicate the process using a Dataset instead of a SQLDataReader it returnsa a null value.
This is the code for the Method to return a datareader
publicSqlDataReader GetOrgID()
{
Singleton s1 = Singleton.Instance();
Guid uuid;
uuid = new Guid(s1.User_id);
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(conString);
string selectString = "Select OrgID From aspnet_OrgNames Where UserID = @UserID";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(selectString, con);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@UserID", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier, 16).Value = uuid;
con.Open();
SqlDataReader dtr = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
return dtr;
This is the code trying to accomplish the same thing with a Dataset instead.
public DataSet organID(DataSet dataset)
{
Singleton s1 = Singleton.Instance();
Guid uuid;
uuid = new Guid(s1.User_id);
string queryString = "Select OrgID From aspnet_OrgNames Where UserID = @UserID";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(conString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(queryString, con);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@UserID", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier, 16).Value = uuid;
SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter();
adapter.SelectCommand = cmd;
adapter.Fill(dataset);
return dataset;
}
Assume that the conString is set to a valid connection string. The Singlton passes the userid in from some code in the code behind page ...this functionality works as well.
So assume that the Guid is a valid entry..I should return a valid dataset but its null.
Additionally if I change the sql query to just be Select * From aspnet_OrgNames I still get a null value...I am assuming I am doing something wrong trying to fill the dataset.
Any help would be appreciated.
MS SQL Enterprise Server, SP5, running under version 6.5.
I have recently been having a problem with the TempDb database
filling up. I originally started the database at 250 Mb but
recently expanded it to 500 Mb.
My last check of the activity on the server during an event
such as this produced the following information.
- Approx. 300 connections to primarily 2 databases.
- 4 active connections:
Connection 1 -SELECT on database 1 with 13,000 records
and a record size of approx. 300 bytes.
Connection 2 -SELECT on database 1 with 13,000 records
and a record size of approx. 300 bytes.
Connection 3 -SELECT on database 2 with 550 records
and a record size of approx. 100 bytes.
Connection 4 -Replication subscriber set at 100 transactions.
My questions are:
1. What processes may cause the TempDb database to fill up?
2. What processes prevent the database from purging?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

We are having continual problems with our transaction log filling up on one of our major applications.
Does anyone know of a way or tool to read the transaction log? We want to determine what is causing this problem.
Thanks
Recently, we converted an Access database to SQL server 6.5. One of the processes that runs against the server is
missing a commit causing temporary stored procedures to fill up TEMPDB in the sysobjects table. The only way to
clear up TEMPDB is to stop and start SQL server when the database fills up. I wrote a quick and dirty stored
procedure to delete the affending rows out of the tempdb..sysobjects table, however, the database still registers as
full after the deletes.
Question:
does anyone know of a process/DBCC I can run against the tempdb..sysobjects table to regain the space in TEMPDB
without having to stop and restart SQL Server? I need a temporary solution while the programmer is debugging the
affending code.
Thanks!

hello,
I've got replication set up as a publisher subscriber, to basically sync a primary server with a
backup server. My distribution log keeps filling up, I've got a perf alert for now to truncate it
at 75% full for now, but why does it fill up? it's size is about 1.5 gig
My tran log for my database will also not remove about 500mb of data as well, is there any way to
see what is going on?
Thanks

I have a table that keeps track of click statistics for each one of my dealers.. I am creating graphs based on number of clicks that they received in a month, but if they didn't receive any in a certain month then it is left out..I know i have to do some outer join, but having trouble figuring exactly how..here is what i have:

on s.dealerid=d.id
where d.id=31

I have complex VB code that loads millions of records into a SQL 7 database. I see my tempdb slowly growing until system runs out of disk space.

What is the best way to fix issues with your log files in TempDB when you start to see them causing error msgs?
Thansk for your time.
We have a stored procedure that uses temp tables and must gather a lot of data. When we stress test this stored procedure, the tempdb transaction log fills up.
We tried using "Select Into" for our tables. That caused us not to write to the transaction log but it caused problems because it locked up sysobjects.
Is there some other way not to write to the transaction log?
I have a database that I am splitting the data using odd account numbers and even account numbers. The odd acct numbers in one database and the even in the other database.
This database is very large. The problem is when I run the delete statements
it is going to fill up the log files. Can I turn on the "Simple" mode on the database while I am deleteing the data. Will this cause a problem? Then can I turn back on the 'Full' mode when I have finished?
Has anyone ever done this and so how did it work. Or better yet is it possible?
Thanks,

Hello,
I am new to SQL Server and learning lots very quickly! I am experienced at building databases in Access and using VBA in Access and Excel.
I have a time series of 1440 records that may have some gaps in it. I need to check the time series for gaps and then fill these or reject the time series.
The criteria for accepting and rejecting is a user defined number of time steps from 1 to 10. For example, if the user sets the maximum gap as 5 time steps and a gap has 5 or less then I simply want to lineraly interpolate betwen the two timesteps bounding the gap. If the gap is 6 time steps then I will reject the timeseries.
I have searched the BOL and MSDN for SQL Server and think there must be a solution using the PredictTimeSeries in DMX, but not quite sure if I can do this. I may be better off simply passing through the time series as a recordset and processing as I would have done in Access...(I am reluctant to do this as I have of the order 100 * 5 * 365 time series and growng by 100 each day and fear it will take quite some time...)
Can anyone help me by pointing me in the right direction please?
Unless there is a way of using PredictTimeSeries on its own, I think the solution is:
Identify if a record is the a valid one or part of a gap (ie missing values).
Identify the longest gap and reject or process data on this value.
Identify if a record preceedes or succeeds a gap.
For each gap fill it using a linear interpolation.
Thanks,
Alan.
Hello,
In my application I am using Identity columns. When some rows are deleted from table, This identity values are not filling the gap. I mean My current identity is 5. That means 1 to 5 rows sequentially i inserted. If I am deleting 3rd and 4th rows, next identity will still continue with 6. So is there any method to fill the gap between rows
hi all!
I have 2 instances that communicate via service broker.
The conversations are only one way from initiator server1 db to target server2 db.
I also reuse dialog id's in BEGIN DIALOG @dlgId
i save @dlgId from the first run into a table and then retreive it for each message send
since the messages are constant i don't close the dialog at the target for each message.
i'm just wodering why do both sys.transmission_queue and sys.conversation_endpoints get a row
for each message i send but the transmission_status in sys.transmission_queue is emtpy.
also each conversation_handle and conversation_id is different for each row and
only one row in each sys table has the same conversation_handle as my saved @dlgId.
just wondering what is going on.
this code is done on the initiator
DECLARE @dlgId UNIQUEIDENTIFIER
-- each database has one dialog id
SELECT @dlgId = DialogId
FROM dbo.Dialogs
WHERE DbId = DB_ID()
-- Begin the dialog, either with existing or new Id
BEGIN DIALOG @dlgId
FROM SERVICE [//DataSender] -- service on initiator server
TO SERVICE '//DataWriter', -- service on target server
-- Target's Service Broker Id
'83382A22-2830-4B25-B067-15AAC255EB03'

I am having an issue with the transaction growing uncontrolled and filling up the disk. I suspect that transactions are structured incorrectly between the web application that is monitoring a queue and the SQL that is executing the WAITFOR RECEIVE. This method is receiving large binary objects, so thats the reason for the arguments to the reader. Also, even though its not the suggested way, we commit everytime through to prevent the queue from disabling (which it was doing when we would ROLLBACK - we don't really care if the message is bad, we just want to log it and wait for the next one).
The basic structure is this, which is executed on a separate thread. Am I missing something that could be causing transactions to get into a state where the log grows uncontrollably? Is there a problem with the loop? Should I be doing a ROLLBACK when there is nothing to receive (this is a low volume queue, so it may not receive a message for a few minutes or more)? If so, where should I be doing this?
