Why Is My Database Running Out Of Space Already!! (urgent)
Aug 28, 2001
I have a question on database size, specifically, what difference would I expect in the size of a db (the space actually used for data, not indexes) if I have one single data device vs. multiple data devices spanned across different physical drives. I have 2 customers that have identical database tables (all columns are integers), customer A has 27 million rows and customer B has 36 million rows. If I do an sp_spaceused on the table, customer A's data takes up 9.7 gig, whereas customer B only takes up 3.2 gig, even though it has 9 million more rows. Statistics have been updated, so I'm confident the sp_spaceused is accurate on both databases.
The only differences I can see between the 2 databases is that customer B has 5 separate data files (6 gig each) for the database which are part of the Primary filegroup. These files are all on the D: drive, which is a partition on a RAID 5 array. Customer A has a single large data file (24 gig), which is also on a RAID 5 array.
Any ideas?

In my environment, there is maintenance plan configured on one of the server and while running DBCC checkdb on a database of size around 200GB, log file usage of tempdb is increasing and causing the maintenance job to fail.
What can I do to make the maintenance job run successfully, size of the tempdb database is only 50GB and recovery model is set to simple. It cannot be increased as the mount point on which it is residing is 50GB.

I am trying to insert 2 fields of about 9 million records into a table and i keep getting this message
Server: Msg 1101, Level 17, State 10, Line 1
Could not allocate new page for database 'TEMPDB'. There are no more pages available in filegroup DEFAULT. Space can be created by dropping objects, adding additional files, or allowing file growth.

We've got an internal database that replicates with another database server for our website.
Not all tables are replicated, some use merge and the others are snapshot based and published regularly to the public website facing server.
However, there's a lot of data (well, large textual data) that's being transferred and it seems to be generating massive log files that continue to grow and grow.
I'm fairly new to adminning an SQL Server box, so was wondering if anyone can tell me what the best way to keep it under control is? I've heard its possible to truncate the logs, effectively deleting any data that has already been processed by subscribing servers etc.?
As I said, I'm very much new to this and would really appreciate some guidance, if only to the right part of the SQL Server Books Online :)
Thanks,
Paul

Hi, we have a SqlServer instance in production containing around 10databases.It has just been realised that all the db's are held on the small c:partition with only a gig or so of space left.On the server there is another partition and another hard disk bothwill ample space (few hundred gigs).What would be the best way of getting the data onto the otherpartitions with minimal impact on the applications. Can we move theprimary data files for each db? Should we just create secondary datafiles on the big partitions for all the db's? Is there a method ofmoving all the data at once?Any ideas on how we should approach this?(ps we dont have control of the sqlserver its outsourced, so simplerthe better).Thanks,Jim

I am currently SQL admin since our ordinary SQL folks are at summer vacation.
Yesterday SCOM alerted that File Group is running out of space on one not so critical database "The file group "PRIMARY" for the database "loganalys" in SQL instance "MSSQLSERVER" on computer "sqlserver2" is running out of space".
I logged in to the SQL server and checked the database in question. It is a very large DB with a size of 577 GB.The storage on which the database files resides has 123 GB free space so that isn't the issue.
The database is set to autogrowth 1 MB at a time (unrestricted) so that doesn't seem to be the issue either.However, in the database properties under General, it says Space avaliable: 570 MB.
I guess that this may be the issue, that this is under some treshold for SCOM to alert on.I have looked at the other databases and they have everything between 0,25MB to 270MB space avaliable (they are all set to autogrowth 1 MB, unrestricted).
I am not sure what this means and if I have to do something about it?

Hi friends ,
I have a database with around 2 GB space for the data and 5.8 GB for the
transaction log .
Now the problem is i do not have any more space on the system and data files requires more space than 2 G.B to execute some stored procedures .
Is it possible to decrease some space of the transaction log , say from 5.8 GB to 2 GB and allocate it to the data files .
My data and log files are on different drives . I did not find anything related to this topic in the BOL .
Can somebody help me with this problem ? Anthing related to this issue will be of great help to me since i have no expertise in this field .
Thanks and Regards

Hello everyone,
In reports ,My customer requirement is to display column based on selected criteria in UI .
The columns which are not selected by him will hide.
for that we kept an expression in Visibility --> Hide
Code Snippet
= NOT Parameters!Parameters.Value.ToString().Contains("Name")
then coming to HTML Report
It is working fine,but white space coming at end of the Table.
can't we supress the white space?
The white space width is exactly the width of the column which is hidden.
My designing in layout is wrong?
Else is that Problem with the SSRS?
Experts Please let me Know!!!!
Give me Solution!!!
Customer is strictly focusing on that requirement.
***Note: white Space is Some what Acceptable.But My Reports are very big like 45 columns around.When he selects 10 out of 45 then you can assume how much space is coming????????****

One of our databases seems to be looking dodgy as some scheduled jobs are failing, but DBCC CHECKDB is no use since it has been running for over 1/2 hour without giving me any results, just the spinning globe.
How do I find out what is wrong without resorting to backups?

Hi,
I have SQLServer 6.5 SP5a update running on Windows NT 4.0 SP6
with 4 gig RAM and 4 processor.
Suddenly the SQL 6.5 jobs running on the production server started running very very slow. A job that suppose to run in 30 minutes are running like 2 hours and completing successfully.
(I suspect the after the Norton Anti virus automatic live update may be the reason but not the Second Vulnerability as mentioned by Microsoft Bulletin last week)
I check the SQLServer, ran the performance monitor, checked pagefiles, disk space, databases,memory, tempdb. Everything seems to be normal.
I rebooted the server, checked any other process making that slow. But no use.
Please help me out with this issue as this is a production and the CRM applications from the clients uses the database server.
Thanks in advance,
Anu

Hi Guys,
We have a database with 20 gig and with huge transactions. The transaction log backup is scheduled every one hour
from 3.00 AM to 9.00 PM.
We take a full backup in the disk at 9.00 PM and again a full backup in the tape at 2.00 AM
It works fine in the day from 6.00 AM and complete within seconds and the size is approx. 50 to 200 MB.
But the very first transaction log backup at 3.00 AM is running like 3 hrs and the size is approx. 11 gig whick is almost equivalent to the Full backup size. There are some dts packages that are running in the night and as usual reindex, intergrity checks are running and there no large user traffic during night. But I have no idea which the very first transaction log backup in the morning takes longer time and has this bug size. Is there any work around to fix this proble.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Anu

When I go to the GUI in Enterprise Manager to check the space used by my database it says 11,790.05. It also says that my database is 13GB.
My database`s size should be 10GB and my log space is 3 GB.
Is this a case where my database is full and is using space in my log?
Is there another way to detemine how much space my data is actually occupying?
Thanks,
Bob

Hi !
When i try to check the space used in one of the databases in my server
I don't get the correct statistics on the bar graph. The statistics show that the database size & the space used are same.It is not the same for all the databases.
The database size is 17500MB.I did increase the database size to 18000MB
but the situation has not improved.
I tried running the sp_space used and i get the following output:
database_name database_size unallocated space
------------------------------ ------------------ ------------------
VSI 18000.00 MB -3553.26 MB
reserved data index_size unused
------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------
22070542 KB 19325744 KB 2689192 KB 55606 KB
Why does the 'unallocated space show in -ve ?
Also, the database size as u can see is 18000MB but the reserved space shows 22070542MB.
Now i have a new problem, the Log also seems to have run out of space.
when i run the dbcc sqlperf(logspace) i see that the space used is 100%.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

I have got SQL Server 2005 Ent. Edition(32bit). File growth for .mdf file is set to Autogrowth 10% growth Unrestricted.

When i ran sp_spaceused it gave me following results

What is the best suggestion to do if a database is using more than 95% of its space. Should I leave it as is and it will grew when it needs? Or do an action. What action?
Is your solution the same for log file as well?

Hi
Please help me in resolving the proble.
Database properties showing space available for database is 0.00mb
physical available space on HDD is around 32 GB... Db size is 5gb...but im bit worried about the size what is being displayed....
Settings in my database
General
1) Size of db: 14306.45MB
2) Space available: 0.00MB
Data Files
1) Automatically grow file
2) File growth By Percent: 10
3) Maximum file size: Unlimited file growth
Transaction log
1) Automatically grow file
2) File growth By Percent: 10
3) Maximum file size: Unlimited file growth
Options
1) AutoShrink
I'm worried about this "space available: 0.00MB". What kind of impact will it create?
If I set all settings to unlimited file growth, does it mean my database can grow as big as my physical harddisk space allows? Does this also means I do not have to worry about database allocation?
Please help me
