Why We Allocate .mdf And .ldf On Seperate Drives?
Oct 25, 2004Hi,
Why we allocate .mdf and .ldf on seperate drives?
Please tell me a proper logical reason behind it.

Placing MSDE .mdf And .ldf Files On Seperate Drives.
Mar 5, 2005Hi,
I know that SQL Server (MSDE), databases run much faster when the data and log files are on seperate physical devices. I can do this explictly when I write a CREATE DATABASE SQL script, but would like to change the MODEL database so that all new databases use the sperate data/log file assignments by default. I haven't found a way to alter the sysfiles table in model - I can read the data, but it balks at trying to update it. (recordset is not updateable, or adhoc querries not allowed against a system database).
I didn't see any options on the MSDE install that implements seperate data/log paths.
I don't have the SQL Server tools (like Enterprise Manager) available, but I do have VS.NET 03 (Standard). And Web Data Administrator.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Can't Allocate Space
Aug 6, 1999Hi,
I've got a table with 65'000 records and when I do a SELECT * FROM tablename ORDER BY Name I receive this error message:
Msg 1105, Level 17, State 1
Can't allocate space for object '-513' in database 'tempdb' because the 'system' segment is full.
If you ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the transaction log.
Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of the segment.
Msg 1510, Level 17, State 2
Sort failed: Out of space or locks in database 'tempdb'
So I've dumped the transaction with no_log and also I've extended the segement from the master database (because tempdb is in it bydefault):
sp_extendsegment system, master
But I've still got the error message. Is there anybody who can advice me?
Thank you
Lottery / Allocate Number
Oct 25, 2005I’m hoping someone can help me create a ‘lottery’ for records in a table.
I have a table called tblPoints with a number of fields including Application_ID, Total_Points and Place_No. The following is a sample of the data
Application_ID Total_PointsPlace_No
87 105
68 95
49 75
96 75
155 75
156 70
144 70
146 70
At the moment there is no data in the Place_No field.
I want to assign a Place_No to all records based on the number of Points (Total_Points). The highest Points value should have a place Number of 1 and so on.
Application_IDTotal_PointsPlace_No
871051
68952
4975
9675
15575
15670
14470
14670
However, where a number of applications have the same points I want to randomly allocate a place number for them. Application_ID 49, 96 and 155 all have 75 points so each of the 3 applications should be randomly allocated one of the following place numbers, 3, 4 and 5. I can not allocate them based on their order in the table as it has to be seen as a ‘lottery’ and each time it is run they would expect to get a different result.
The same thing then has to happen with the last 3 records in this sample allocating place numbers 6, 7 and 8
I was hoping to create a stored procedure to do this, but I’ve no idea where to begin. I would appreciate any help you could give. Thank you.

Unable To Allocate Sufficient Memory
Dec 8, 2005Any help would be appreciated.
This message is received on the client. Client pc has Intel 2Ghz or better processor, 512MB Ram, sufficient hard drive space, connecting to MS SQLServer 2000 thru TCP/IP.
Database server is running Windows 2000 Advanced Server w/ SP3 and MS SQLServer 2000 Enterprise Edition w/ SP3, with 4 way 700Mhz PIII Xeon processors and 4GB Ram (I'm not certain about network connectivity, but it's at least 100MB Ethernet). The database is approximately 87GB, with an average of 250 to 300 connections.
The application is vendor supplied, written in Visual Basic 3.0. Therefore I am using 16 bit SQL drivers, the latest I am aware of, dated 6/15/1997.
This database was previously running on SQLServer 7, and this error did not occur. It started after the upgrade to SQLServer 2000. We discovered this error in testing the upgrade and found that by decreasing the "Network Packet Size" setting on SQLServer w/ sp_configure, we were able to make the message go away. However now that we are in a production environment, the message seems to be coming back randomly. We have the NPS set to 1024 (default is 4096). I'm worried about performance if it is dropped much farther.
Any ideas? Thanks again for any help!
Could Not Allocate New Page For Database 'TEMPDB'?
May 9, 2004"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."
I get this error when running a query on another database. But why?
Both data and transaction files on TEMPDB are set to "automatically grow file" and "unrestricted file growth" and there is 70GB of free space on the disk drive. Shouldn't the files just grow? Why would this happen?

This doesn't make any sense since they are set to auto grow and there is plenty of disk space to do so.

Hello, I have an issue with a process that blows up because of the following error.

There are no more pages available in filegroup DEFAULT. Space can be created by dropping objects, adding additional files, or allowing file growth. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 1101). The step failed.
Ok I am going to be typeing some really bad practices(I just started here 3 weeks ago.)
There is 23.6 gig free on my log drive. The disk is not running out of space and there are no disk errors in event viewer. The process in question calles 2 procs. These 2 proces load files from the filesystem and bulk load them into #temp tables. Then select's from these tables are issued using criteria from a static table. There are around 700000 rows being inserted into the #temp tables and no indexes are being created so very large table scans going on. Also there are some cursors being called to row by row minipulate the records and in the cursor it calles fucntions using cursors. There are thousands of files being processes everyday by several different jobs. All of the processes are written the same way. We have the tempdb set to auto grow by 10 % and the initial size is 3.5 gig. There are 3 to 4000 tables in the database and 90 % of them are being created on the fly to be used by this process and yes once again there are no indexes created on the on the fly tables. We have only one Filegroup on the server default.
I believe that takeing some of the objects and moving them to there own filegroup will help this issue. Every month we take on up to 800000 new records to process on top of what we allready do. So we use cursors cursors cursors temp objects with no indexes and massive recordsets and doing sorts on massive records sets. I am working with development to show them how and where to index but this will take time. I need a quick solution. Any thoughts any questions? The box has 4 gig of ram.

SQL Server 2005 Doesn't Allocate Available Memory
Oct 26, 2007running Sql Server 2005 SP2 on Windows 2003 Server SP1 with 2GB RAM. After start-up, the sqlservr.exe does only take up around 100 MB of RAM, and it stays roughly there even if the DB is used heavily. This leads to very poor performance, even timeouts on simple querys.
In the task manager, I see that of the 2 GB of RAM, more than 1 GB is still available. I don't understand why SQL Server won't take it?
As a test, I configured the min and max amount of RAM SQL Server should used both to 1024 MB and restarted the service - but it is still the same picture. It won't take more than around 100 MB.
The server has just been restarted, but the problem remains.
BTW there is also an instance of SQL 2000 on the same machine. It shows the same behaviour - I even checked the "reserve phyiscal memory" checkbox there, but it stays on a very low number (50 MB) and doesn't adhere to the supposed size.
thanks and best regards,

DTS Error:Cannot Allocate Space, Default Filegroup Is Full
Nov 20, 2000Hi all,
I need to load a table with 820,000 records from a Sybase db via DTS. It always fail with the error:
"Error at destination for row number 820000. Could not allocate space for object in tablespace tempdb
. The default filegroup is full.".
There is only the primary filegroup defined in the db. I've increased the size from 1.5GB to 2GB,
and specify that it shd grow automatically by 10% and there's no limit to the size.
There is still some 28GB in the server, so it should be fine.
It still fail so I added another file to the primary filegroup with size 100MB. Again, it failed with the same error msg.
Where or how else can I increase the tempdb size?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanx,
Jes

How To Explicitly Allocate An Sql Server Connection From The Connections Pool
Feb 21, 2008Hello.
I have a db dal containing the following code:
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.Connection = dbc;
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.CommandText = "SOME STORED PROCEDURE";
.
.
.
declare some SqlParameters
.
.
.
dbc.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
dbc.Close();
This code, when concurrently running via several threads, yields the following exception:
"The connection was not closed. The connection's current state is open."
My questions are:
1. Why don't .Net allocate another connection from the pool (I try to only concurrently run 2 threads while there are 25 connections in the connection pool) ?
2. How can one explicitly allocate a connection?
3. How do you suggest to solve this problem without a mutex/monitor etc' on the 3 bold lines above and without BeginExequteNonQuery()?
Thank you !
The Publisher Failed To Allocate A New Set Of Identity Ranges For The Subscription

Initially i thought it might be that some of the articles had primary keys that were of type nvarchar rather then Int thus resulting in no identity range being able to be assigned to those articles.
Test 1: I tried removing all articles that had nvarchar primary keys and left only one table that had an identity Int primary key colum. I then ran the snapshot agent. I then run through the Subscription Wizzard again and the error was the same.
Test 2: Then reading the error message again i tried those tables that didnt use identity columns and the wizzard completed successfully. Any idea what would be wrong with my articles that have identity columns. The article properties for the identity columns use the Identity Range Management defaults.
Any help would be appreciated.
Different Drives
Feb 6, 2008I am trying to run a program called NVivo7, which - when I install - also requires installation of SQL Server. Because my C drive is small (and nearly full), I am trying to run NVivo7 off my D drive, though SQL seems to install on C. Is it possible, do you think, to use 2 different drives in this way, or do both the program and the Server need to be on the same one? If so, is there any way to get them both on D?

Feb 21, 2007So i'm not really new, but got a question. i've recently been looking to to the Western Digital Raptor Drives.
as far as performance, it's always been my understanding that the speed of the hard drive is just about always the bottle-neck of a computer. i'm currently running 2 stripped WD 500gb SATA drives for my SQL server (dual Xeon 2.8 with 2GB memory).
i'm thinking of upgarding to 4 WD Raptors (10k RPM) drives, the new 150GB models. anyone have an opionion? do you think i'll get a large performance increase?
the database that i run queries off of now is about 125 Million names, with about 80 fields in width. so it's rather large, and usally takes a fair abount of time to get my results back (we're talking anywhere from a minute, to half the day.)
do you think the raptors will slim that down significantly?

The Publisher Failed To Allocate A New Set Of Identity Ranges For The Subscription After Another Publication Deletion

SQL And Forum On Seperate Machines....
Jan 16, 2004Hi All,
I have got MSSQL 2000 set up on a machine in my rack at my local telehouse, and a web server set up at home on an ADSL line.
Both servers can see (ping) eachother fine , so you can rule out any kind of connectivity issues straight away, but when i try to get my forum to connect to the mssql database using the correct credentials it just fails saying that the credentials are incorrect ot the server does not exist.
I also installed an SQL database tool on my web server (Shusheng SQL Tool) and attempted to connect to my SQL server using that tool, and got the following message: '[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.'
The server is currently using mixed mode authentication (SQL/Windows) and has both TCP/IP and Named pipes enabled.
Is there some kind of 'Enable remote connections' option in SQL? I need to be able to allow connections to my SQL server from any system, anywhere...
Any ideas?

Are Seperate Databases Betters?
Jan 4, 2004Hi. I have been talking with some developers who have built a hosted application supporting multiple customers. Their database approach is to create a new, dedicated database (same schema each time) for every customer that signs-up.
This approach is contrary to typical hosted DB designs that I have delt with -- that is, a single database holding multiple customer information rather than a unique database for each customer.
Does the improved security of a dedicated database out-weigh the additional maintenance requirements?
If anyone has some objective thoughts on this topic, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks,

Should I Seperate Tables Into New Databases??
May 22, 2008My boss has asked me to look into this and I haven't been able to find any information on the web. I hope someone can answer this for me. We currently have a single database that is storing all the user information and transactions. Within the same database we are also logging different types of user activity. If both these tables are heavily used, would it make sense to separate it into different database, one for data and one for logging? Is there any pro or cons of having more than one database? Any opinion or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. I'm the closest thing they have to DBA and I'm really new to this. Thanks.
