Need Help Approximating How Much Hard Drive Space I Need For My DB Table.

May 12, 2007

In our SQL Server database we will have a table that will be populated with about 2000 recordsper day. That is 2000 records per day for 5 days per week. Currently the computer we are using has about  50 gigabytesof available hard drive space on it. We are concerned that maybe we will need a bigger hard drive,based solely on the number of records entered into this table per day. The problem is I don'tknow how to calculate how much hard drive space we need. I think I read that using varchar,sql server 2005 really optimizes a database. Here is a typical example of data in ourdatabase. I put dots on three lines between the first and last sample record to justillustrate that there are many records in between.
Basically we only need 8 months of data at a time in the table and then we can purgerecords older than 8 months.Can someone help me approximate how much hard drive space I might need for 8 months of data,given the following sample record in the database?
Sample: -->34.5               4.08        10.6       .0012
Sample Table in my DB just for illustration:
(PPsquare inch)  (Diameter)  (Weight gm)     (coeffOfSatFriction)
34.5                      4.08            10.6                .0012...21.7               3.54        6.22         .019

Formatting The Hard Drive

May 18, 2004

I was wondering if anyone played around with changing the allocation unit size when formatting the hard drive the SQL server is running on. I would think that setting it higher to account for the larger size of the database files would help, but I'm not sure.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Hard Drive Setup Question

Feb 2, 2007

Hi guys,

I have a general question. Would SQL server have slower performance if you placed the ldf or mdf files on a dynamic drive setup or should it always be basic? I noticed that a server had 2 dynamic drives and the log files and mdf files are located on these drives. Usually I see all the drives as basic not dynamic. Does this even matter?

thanks

Backup To Non-local Hard Drive

Oct 19, 1998

I want to perform backups to a network drive. I need to know if I can access the backup drive via UNC. I have not been able to get it to work and, for now, I would just like to know if what I am trying to do SHOULD work.

For example I want to backup to device mdtnts_prod02LM2BackupNameBack.DAT.

Thanks,Bob

Hard Drive Defragmentation Opinions

May 9, 2008

I'm wondering what other people do in regards to running hard drive defragmentation programs on SQL Server 2005 servers (assume 64-bit and Windows 2003). From what I can tell the most common opinions are:

1. Don't defragment because it doesn't help and it can cause problems.
2. Use Diskeeper
3. Use the built-in Windows defragmenter

Other respected defragmented programs are PerfectDisk, O&O Defrag, JkDefrag, and Contig.

What is your hard drive defragmentation strategy?

Hard Drive Trashing After SP2 + KB934458

Apr 5, 2007

Hi. Has anyone else had any problem with their SQL Server 2005 going nuts after installing the SP2 + the above hotfix?

We reboot the SQL Server and as soon as SQL receives a command of any sort, the SCSI RAID 5 hard drives light up and start trashing. Therefore every query and even Windows response time is painfully slow or fails to respond. When we look at the Activity Monitor and sp_who2 there is a process running a Select Into from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio using the sa account from the last database name in our system. So we can't kill the process as it says "Cannot use KILL to kill your own process. Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 6104)".

The last Transact-SQL command from this process is:
create table #tmpDBCCinputbuffer ((Event Type) nvarchar(512),
[Parameters] int, [Event Info] nvarchar(512))
insert into #tmpDBCCinputbuffer exec ('DBCC INPUTBUFFER(56)')
select [Event Info] from #tmpDBCCinputbuffer

The only other issue I should mention is that we had to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server yesterday as SP2 only half installed. The SP2 install log indicated that SQL SP1 wasn't in a good state as we previously (3 months ago) performed an upgrade from Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2003 R2 Server.

Our other 3 Windows 2003 R2 Servers which were a clean install of both Windows and SQL are running fine.

I've been insisting that we do a new clean Windows and SQL install, but the other team members insist that it's been fine until we installed SQL Server SP2.

So can anyone provide and help or evidence to say who is right either way?

Thanks.

Hard Drive Crashed. Master && User Db Mdf && Ldf Files Lost

Jan 31, 2006

Hello.

One of our hard drives has crashed and as a result we have lost our master mdf/ldf & user db mdf/ldf files. It's not that a critical system by any means, but if the hard drive crashes and the master mdf/ldf files & user db mdf/ldf are lost, is there any way of restoring the system?

I'm thinking we probably need to re-install Enterprise Manager completely, and re-install the user db from a backup.

Any advice/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Installing Sql 2005 Management Studio Express On 2nd Hard Drive

Apr 25, 2006

Hi,

I've downloaded the sql server 2005 management studio express executable to my second hard drive, as there is no room on my main drive

However, when I try to install, the program shows me both drives, and shows that there is not enough room on my main drive, but it does not allow me to change the installation to my second drive.

I have previously installed the main sql express product to my second drive with visual studio. There's loads of room.

Can anyone give me a clue as to why this might be happening.

Thanks

Insert Data Into A Table From Two Tables Into A Single Table Along With A Hard Coded Value?

Feb 9, 2012

I'm trying to insert data into a table from two tables into a single table along with a hard coded value.

insert into TABLE1
(THING,PERSONORGROUP,ACCESSRIGHTS)
VALUES
((select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where
AUTHOR IN (select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where USER_ID
=('USER1'))),(select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where USER_ID
=('USER2')),255)

I get the following-

Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.

The statement has been terminated.

Do I need to use a cursor?

Query Performance Hard Coded Value Versus Table Driven

Nov 6, 2014

I want to be able to return the rows from a table that have been updated since a specific time. My query returns results in less than 1 minute if I hard code the reference timestamp, but it keeps spinning if I load the reference timestamp in a table. See examples below (the "Reference" table has only one row with a value 2014-09-30 00:00:00.000)

select * from A where ReceiptTS > '2014-09-30 00:00:00.000'

select * from A where ReceiptTS > (select ReferenceTS from Reference)

SQL Tools :: Adding Column To A Table Causes Copying Data Into Temp Table

Sep 23, 2015

If on the source I have a new column, the script generated by SqlPackage.exe recreates the table on the background with moving the data into a temp storage. If the table is big, such approach can cause issues.

Example of the script is below: in the source project I added columns [MyColumn_LINE_1]  and [MyColumn_LINE_5].

Is there any way I can make it generating an alter statement instead?

BEGIN TRANSACTION;
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
SET XACT_ABORT ON;
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp_ms_xx_MyTable] (
[MyColumn_TYPE_CODE] CHAR (3) NOT NULL,

[Code] ....

The same script is generated regardless the table having data or not, having a clustered or nonclustered PK.

Data Transformation: Copying A Table To A Table... How Does It Work?

Hello,

Probabaly a silly question yet as a DOTNET developer, I'm trying to simulate DTS when for example, I don't have permission to perform DTS on a production server.

In particular and interested regards caching of rows before the service decides to flush the buffer and write to the target table. Safe to assume DTS is cursor based?

Help - Can't Connect To Database After Computer Crashed During Table Alteration

Mar 26, 2007

I was altering a few columns (setting to allow nulls) on a large table (30+ million records) and the machine naturally crashed. I rebooted, and now I can't connect to the DB - enterprise manager hangs, and query analyzer times out. is it likely the whole DB is screwed up, assuming the table alteration was incomplete?

thankfully, I do have a backup, but for future reference, is there a preferred way to make changes to large tables? last time I did this it took over an hour, and enterprise manager gives no progress indication to make me feel more comfortable that it's actually doing something...

Copying Data From One Table To Another Table In Another Database

Jan 2, 2008

I have "inherited" a project working on a SQL 2000 database. The project calculates commissions based on data from an invoice header table and an invoice details table. The goal is to extract data from the primary database tables, perform limited manipulations, and store the resultant data into a table in a different database for reference and reporting. I have the query complete that extracts and manipulates the data, but I am stuck in trying to add this data to the final storage/reporting table. I would also like to do error checking to be certain that a record is not "re-inserted" from the source data to the destination table. Thanks in advance, Barry

Can I Used A Shared Drive Rather Than A Mapped Drive With OpenRowSet?

Apr 4, 2008



Hi

I have been trying to use openrowset with a shared drive, and even though the share has "full control" permissions granted to "everyone" and the accout that SQL runs under has been granted explicit full control permissions I am unable to open the file which itself has no security on it.

Can I not use a \ path and only use mapped drives?

Thanks

below works...

SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:5People.xls', [Sheet1$])

below doesn't work...

SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=\cluster02FileManager5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
