Our server is getting pretty full, the data has already been backed up, but it did not create additional room on the server. Can I delete the log file as long as I have backed up the items I need? We are running Microsoft SQL 2000.
Thanks for the help!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created a File System task which is contained in a Foreach Loop Container. I have .bak files that are populating a directory from a maintenance backup plan.
There is a point where I need to delete the .bak file's after I've zipped them all up.
How do I set the SourceVariable to read through the directory and pick up just the .bak file's in the directory to delete.
Hi,
I have by mistake created a file by name abc.ndf on Primary filegroup on a database.
Now when I delete it it says can't delete because file is not empty.
I want to get rid of this file.
Any suggestion.
Can anyone point me to an example or tell me. How to run a job that delete's a file from a directory on a server? A have a ftp process that send's a larger flat file to my sql server every hour, which after about 4hr will full my server. I need to delete this file from its d drive location.
Thanks Reggie
Hello
We have a SQL Server 2000 database with 2 transaction log files.
The 2nd file was created when we were running out of disk space and the person creating it was not familiar with the dbcc shrink command.
I now want to get rid of the 2nd log file. I ran the following steps with no success:
DBCC SHRINKFILE ('Log_file', EMPTYFILE )
--Message: Cannot shrink log file 3 (log_file) because all logical log files are in use.
ALTER DATABASE db1 REMOVE FILE 'Log_file'
--Message: The file 'Log_file' cannot be removed because it is not empty.
There are no users or open transactions in the database. I have also tried sp_detach_db and sp_attach_single_file_db but that does not work either as the database attaches both the transaction logs back.
Please advise.
Thanks

how to delete text files from c drive (ex: c:sale300407.txt) using ms sql express edition 2005 ?
plz help me...
I've inherited a procedure that performs a few transforms and writes to flat files in a working directory using a connection in connection manager.
After the manipulation, the system cleans up by deleting the working files. Works fine in development, but from the command line gives:
The process cannot access the file <filename> because it is being used by another process.".
I suspect this is because connection manager still has the file open.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Is there any select statement that will be useful in finding the @traceid for these auditting sessions? Also, how am I able to stop the sessions without stopping the related services?
Thank you in advance.

I have to run a DTS package to export data into a dBase file. I first have to delete the existing data within the dbase file, but I can only get it to delete the data, not the actual rows. The file continues to grow in size. Is there a way to delete the rows from the dbase file through the DTS package?
This would help out a lot, thank you!!

Hi,
I want to delete all files in a folder where creation date is an year older. I created a For Each Loop container to go over the whole folder and then execute the following Script Task
Dim FileArchive As Int16
Dim dteArchive As Date
Dim FilePath As String
FileArchive = CType(Dts.Variables("FileArchive").Value, Int16) ' One Year FileArchive = 365
dteArchive = DateAdd("d", -FileArchive, Now.Date)
FilePath = Dts.Variables("FilePath").Value.ToString
If File.GetCreationTime(FilePath) <= dteArchive Then
Try
File.Delete(FilePath)
Catch ex As Exception
'Do Nothing
End Try
End If
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
Is there a better approach to this? As most of the time job may have to delete 10 or 15 files but he has to read each file and then check the date if it matches the criteria and it delete.

Hello everybody
I have one question about deleting blank row on flat file destination from conditional split.
I create an SSIS package to filter data from Flat file source.
On flat file source, it is Ragged right format and header row delimeter in {CR}{LF}
the coulums are devided manulaay using markers.
I use only 2 columns divided and send the source into conditional split task and the conditions are given to filter data,
when the output from conditional split is placed on flat file destination, i notice blank rows on the output. I want to delete the blank rows so the result data can be displayed continuously in rows.
anybody has any idea for this? I know the script task will work but hope to avoid to use script task.
Thank you in advance for all the help.

I am struggling figuring out the token from a CMDEXEC job (as opposed to TSQL Job). It is not an option to execute the command by enabling the executing CMDs via TSQL, which is why I am using the agent. I have seen the Microsoft Site on tokens but all examples seem to be oriented to TSQL Job Type.

Currently we has a database of size about 300G. Because our backup system failed some time past we were left with a transaction log file which grew to about 160G. However our backups are working again and everything is working fine. My understanding is that now the transaction log file is practically empty but the capacity remains at 160G.
When you delete records the deleted transactions are going to get logged to the transaction file. My understanding is when a backup is done these transactions get discarded out of the transaction file.
could I make use of this relatively large transaction file and start deleting transactions without out actually adding to the transaction file size.
The plan is to delete records from logging tables that are not referenced to by any other table without this increasing the transaction log file.For example over a period of a few weeks we can delete a chunk of records from a table. Then after it has completed a backup we can delete another chunk of records out of this table until we have got the table down to the records that we now need.Will this work?
