I got a request to truncate some tables on our testing servers.There are only 11 tables and i could go in and truncate them one after the other, but i need a script that i can use to truncate all the tables at a go. The tables also have no dependencies between them. A script to accomplish the same task if the tables had dependencies ...
View 4 Replies View RelatedThere is a table need truncate and then insert a huge data (more than million rows) every day. Does database grow up every day?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a production database which uses merge and snapshot replication. The Merge is for 3 tables. The snapshot is to update the rest of the data once daily. I use a Full recovery model and perform database backups (full, differential) and transaction log backups.
I have a database optimization plan which runs 4 times a week. This plan performs and integrity check and rebuilds the indexes. This optimization plan is growing the transaction log by about 8MB each time it is run and we are running out of space on the drive for our log files. The space is not being reused.
I saw in another post where Gail Shaw suggesting using SELECT name, log_reuse_wait_desc FROM master.sys.databases to see why the log space is not being reused. On the database in question, the above returns "REPLICATION".
A colleague tried to backup the transaction log a couple of times to truncate the log this weekend. She was going to perform a DBCC Shrinkfile command afterwards. But the truncate failed. Again looking into things it seems replication prevented the truncation.
We are looking at stopping the merge replication or even removing it to truncate the log file and then recreate the merge replication. How to handle shrinking the log file for now and then seeing if there are any checks or changes I can perform which will allow the transaction log space to be reused.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone have experience with truncating an expression like the Excel TRUNC?
For example in Excel, you might have something like =TRUNC(IF($AE11=0,1,X11/$AE11),5) which drops off a certain amount of the results after the decimal point. 87.5659321 becomes 87.565 instead of the result of a rounding.

I'm working on an ASP.Net project where I want to test code on a localmachine using a local database as a back-end, and then export it tothe production machine where it uses the hosting provider's SQL Serverdatabase on the back-end. Is there a way to export tables from oneSQL Server database to another in such a way that if a table alreadyexists in the destination database, it will be updated to reflect thechanges to the local table, without existing data in the destinationtable being lost? e.g. suppose I change some tables in my localdatabase by adding new fields. Can I "export" these changes to thedestination database so that the new fields will be added to thedestination tables (and filled in with default values), without losingdata in the destination tables?If I run the DTS Import/Export Wizard that comes with SQL Server andchoose "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the source database" and choosethe tables I want to copy, there is apparently no option *not* to copythe data, and since I don't want to copy the data, that choice doesn'twork. If instead of "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the sourcedatabase", I choose "Copy objects and data between SQL Serverdatabases", then on the following options I can uncheck the "CopyData" box to prevent data being copied. But for the "CreateDestination Objects" choices, I have to uncheck "Drop destinationobjects first" since I don't want to lose the existing data. But whenI uncheck that and try to do the copy, I get collisions between theproperties of the local table and the existing destination table,e.g.:"Table 'wbuser' already has a primary key defined on it."Is there no way to do what I want using the DTS Import/Export Wizard?Can it be done some other way?-Bennett

Hi all,
This is a database on which there are continuous inserts and updates. Data is loaded into this database in bulk at regular intervals. I do not back up the transaction log. For these reasons, I have set the options, 'select into/bulk copy' and 'truncate log on checkpoint'. When the 'truncate log on checkpoint' option was not set, the log file would grow very huge and fill up the entire disk space(file growth is unlimited). But, even after the 'truncate log on checkpoint' option has been set, the log file does grow at times to fill up the entire disk. I assumed that since the 'truncate log on checkpoint' option was set, the inactive portion of the log would be truncated every 1 minute(ie, during every checkpoint). Could someone please explain the reason for this behaviour?
Thanks in advance,

hello,
Daily, after a database backup done in the evening, around 3am we have a lot of flat files to integrate in tables and then process.
The question is : We want to free the space used by the transation log.
Then, we use "backup log with no_log" and/or "backup log with truncate_only"
We look at the size of the transaction log with "dbcc sqlperf( logspace )" but the 'Log space used %' stays the same.
Could you give us some informations or tips on this.
Thank you from Paris

Recently I start working with SQL 6.5 server on NT4 (sp6)
Before me someone make abnormal reinstallation of this SQL server.
after that server need to be restarted every day
On the database edit window I have seen that Avaluable Log Space is 0
and in the course of working with device have seen that device definition
is erroneous. the path to file is different from the name of file,
i.e. in device defined (D:aaa03_log) and actually present file
(D:aaalog_03)
and as result every operation on device get the error.
I have change the name of the file to match the sql device definitions but
first this don't helped.
I have added new device and expanded the database log on it, but Avaluable Log Space remains 0.
After a number of restarts I noticed that old erroneous device is now
become visible and I can work with it, for instance expand it. But Avaluable Log Space remains 0 and in the sql monitor I also see that log occupied 100% of avaluable space.
May be transaction log located with data and I just can't see that ?
There is option on database edit window: Truncate transaction Log
and I want run it. The organisation don't interested in log. main thing is that the data will be safe.
Is it the right thing to do?
Tanks to everyone who can help
Hi!
I have field1 decimal(11,0) containing number 1234567 and
I must get the last six digits to int-field, eg. I want field2 int containing 234567 as result. How should I do that with functions? And it should work regardless of the length of the field1, eg field1 = 123456789 -> field2 = 456789

Hi,
I'm using sp_OAMethod to write to a text file, like this:
DECLARE @i INT, @File VARCHAR(1000), @FS INT, @RC INT, @FileID INT, @Date DATETIME
SET @File = 'E: extfile.txt'
EXEC @RC = sp_OACreate 'Scripting.FileSystemObject', @FS OUT
EXEC @RC = sp_OAMethod @FS, 'OpenTextFile', @FileID OUT, @File, 8, 1
EXEC @RC = sp_OAMethod @FileID, 'WriteLine', Null, @Date
This always appends to the file. I want to truncate the file and write to it afresh.
Please inform me how to do that.
Hi,
I've set up a number of jobs (not a maintenance plan) via a script in SQL 2005. These jobs do the following:
1) Full backup every sunday night
2) Differential backup every weeknight
3) Log backup every hour
The database is obviously in the full recovery model.
The backups all seem to be running, with one issue - the log file is still growing and is not being truncated. I was under the impression that a log backup should result in the log being truncated after each full backup. However, this does not seem to be the case.
Is there anything obvious I've missed that needs to be set up, or is there a way I can check that the full backup is actually setting the appropriate checkpoint and that the log backups are 'seeing' these checkpoints?
Thanks
2 Questions?
1. When I do a full backup, does that truncate my transaction log? Or does only a backup of transaction log will truncate a transaction log?
Does anyone have a script that can drop the Identity columns from all the tables in a database? Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble Truncating a Transaction Log. I`ve tried everything in Book Online.

The log on one of my databases keeps filling up, even though I have it set to truncate on checkpoint. the only real difference between this database and the others on my server is that it is built from the dump of another database (on another server) where the tables are marked for replication.
I'm wondering if the fact it is built from a replicating database could be causing this. I've noticed I can't drop any of the table, even though my database isn't set to replicate (or publish).
two questions
1) Any ideas?
2) Is there anyway I can make my server realize I'm not replicating so it will let me drop those tables? (nothing in Enterprise manager indicates that my database is replicating or publishing).
Thanks,
Jim

Hi
I just wanted to know can you truncate transaction logs in SqlServer 2000 and if so how is this done?
Thanks
I've got a Sql server 2000 box that currently backs up to tape in full every night. I also want to back the box up off site but not in full (as 30GB is a little too much to transfer every evening).
So my plan was to do a full backup to tape at 7pm then a differential at 8pm (to transfer off site).
The problem I am having is that after my differential has been done the logs get truncated so if I want to replay them for any reason I need to get that differential back to site.
Anyone have any suggestions please?
Greetings,
I am having a problem debugging an XML error we are getting in our production environment because I can't view the entire call to the stored procedure in Profiler. I have successfully traced the error, but when I go to the line with the call to the SP that caused the error, it doesn't show me the entire call. It only shows me the 'exec sproc_name and then the first 16 characters of the XML string parameter that is being passed to the proc. For some reason it's doing this to ONLY the stored procs that have XML parameters...on procs that use standard parameters, it displays the entire call correctly.
I have looked for some type of setting that controls this, but haven't been able to find it. I also have looked through many forums for this issue but to no avail. Does anyone know why this is happening? And, is there a workaround/fix?
Thanks in advance...
