We're running SQL 6.5 SP3, we recycle our SQL server every day, somehow starting last December, the errorlog kept appending to the previous one
without starting a new log, and it keeps on growing,
any one knows anywhere I should look into ?
If SQL behaves properly, it should starts a new log after each recycle.
I checked from Technet this problem may occur in 4.2 but I haven't seen anything in 6.5....Thanks

I don't know what I am doing wrong. In my environment, we have monitoring tool that scan through sql errorlog every 10minutes to capture some error that occurs. I have been trying for days now to create an alert for any of our failed backup to appear in the sql errorlog with the code below. After I add message to the sysmessage table with sp_addmessage, and raising the error with log option, I modified the existing scheduled backup job by creating an alert with the num in the code. For some reason, this error will not just show up in the sql errorlog when it failed. Has anyone any advise on what to do?
The code is:
sp_addmessage 50001, 25, 'Backup Failed for the '%.*ls' database.Please Contact MSSQL DBA Immediately!!!! ' GO DECLARE @DBID INT SET @DBID = DB_ID() DECLARE @DBNAME NVARCHAR(128) SET @DBNAME = DB_NAME() RAISERROR (50001, 25, 1, @DBID, @DBNAME) with log GO Thanks SA
Even though i see all the errorlog files physically stored in the log directory, I am not seeing any errorlog info on Enterprice Manager. I see all files like errorlog, errorlog1, errorlog2, etc, when i click current errorlog, it shows nothing, Please help me what could be the problem?
what does the error "login failed-User: Reason : Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection" means in the errorlog? it keeps on writing in the errorlog. what could be the caused of this? and how to correct this?
Hi....Does anyone know if there is a similar command to SQL2K's DBCC ERRORLOG. I'm currently writing a preventative maintenance script and want to force archiving of errorlogs. Any help greatly appreciated.
I am getting a recurring error in my errorlog. This is the error: "BlkHeader from strip 0 At 13531e00 ExpectedAt 13531e00 Size c00 PrevSize 200" Has anyone seen this before?
I just spent the better part of a full day trying to figure out why my MSSQLSERVER service wouldn't start. Finally, after someone suggested I check out "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server[Instance Name]LogErrorLog" I found my problem. I opened it up to find: (newbie mistake, I know now!!)
2005-12-21 19:27:46.60 server SQL Server evaluation period has expired
So I thought I would pass this onto everyone I can think of so you will not make the mistake I just did.
It would have been nice if Microsoft, like just about every other software company out there, would have been loud & obnoxious about their trial software expiring. Instead they have to put a poor newbie soul thru what I just went thru.
*sigh*
Well if I helped 1 person with this, I've done some good!
I need to move the errorlog files from the d: drive to the e: drive on my NT servers. Does anyone know a way to accomplish this without having to re-install? Thanks tcb
We have set up a couple of SQL Server 2005 systems and I have foundthat the format of the ERRORLOG files and the SQL Agent's log filesare Unicode or some format that findstr cannot parse properly. "find"parses them fine, but it doesn't have the capabilities that I need --specifically, I can't search for multiple strings in one search.I see the checkbox on the SQL Agent's for "Write OEM File", but it isgrayed out so I am not able to try checking that. I also don't knowif that would affect the server's ERRORLOG file too or just theAgent's log file.So what am I missing? What is everyone else doing who is used tohaving scripts to parse these files looking for strings that indicateproblems? Is there a server setting that will force it to go back toa plain ANSI text file format for log files? Is that a bad thing todo?Thanks in advance for any insight,Teresa Masino
Hi I was not able to connect to SQL Server machine. On examining the Error log (which was huge 53MB), I found the following messages that filled 95% of the logfile. Is this something to do with memory allocation.
Someone, please let me know what is going on. After the server reboot everything works fine. I am worrired that this message may occur again.
Thanks Machilu

Is the merge method, what will work in this case ? I have two datatables with the exact same structure. How can I append the rows from table 2 onto the bottom of table 1 ? Is looping through the rows collection the only way ?
I am trying to append the current row ID to a string I am trying to insert via a sproc. I have retrieved the @@Identity and I am passing it into a class with a parameter and calling it using:

I know this must be simple, but I am stumpped, please help!
I am writing a stored procedure in SQL 2000 where an incomming variable is a string of characters (a couple of sentences) and I want to add that to the existing string of characters in a table field called "Comments".
I do not know how to append the text in a field. How is that best done?
The basic function of the procedure is to take whatever string is passed to it and append it to the current contents of the field "Comments". As the procedure is ran over and over again, the field is constantly appended with the incomming text.
What is the best way to do this? Can anyone give me an example?

I have two tables that have the same column names, data type and length in each. The only difference is that one is the USA ( COUNTRY) and the other is International ( COUNTRY ). I want to make these two tables into one table. I don't think that a "UNION" will do that on a permanent basis. What other options do I have?
I need to make sure I'm doing this correctly can you help me out guys please?? This is an Appending Stored procedure it should move values from the EmployeeGamingLicense table when the status is turned into TERMINATED to the GCEmployeeTerms table. Heres what I have so far, having problems with the rest of the script getting errors

DTS wizard is not allowing me to append the data to a text file. Every time I run DTS and choose the destination to be this text file (say A.txt), it overwrites the data. I have a table whose data I am dumping to a text file. I truncate the table, then get the data again into it and want to append it to the same text file. But I end up overwriting the text file with the new data.
Hello all! I have a dts package exporting a text file. I would like for the dts job to append to the end of the file each time it is ran, rather than overwriting it. Is there a simple solution for this?
When I create a db backup on our network using BACKUP DATABASE...
BACKUP DATABASE [TKKCommonData] TO DISK = N'G:SQL_BACKUPSTKKCommonDataTKKCommonData_DATA.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'TKKCommonData_DATA-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
I've specified the NOINIT so that it appends rather than overwrites the database, however the database is still overwritten. Any idea how to get the database to backup and append to the set rather than overwrite the backup ?
I have subscription records for five different magazine titles that i process by looping each one though a dataflow using a for-each loop. I am using the following instructions to append to the raw file: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/12/01/2443.aspx
This works fine when I pass four different magazine titles. when i try to run all of the titles(five), i get the following errors:
[Raw File Destination [131195]] Warning: The parameter is incorrect. [DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "Raw File Destination" (131195) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0x80070057.
Currently I have a maintenance plan running a Full backup weekly, differential backups nightly, and log backups hourly. The log backups are all going into a single backup file - but it's hard to see what's going on behind the scenes here.
Does this file get 'reset' when the full backup is performed? Will it just keep growing indefinitely and should I be creating new files for each log backup, or manually deleting the file each week during the full backup task?
(SQL 7 on NT Server) I want to append a table with 1200 rows, using DTS. While I know it is better to do while no one is using the database, exactly what impact will it have if I do this while the database is online? Which leads me to my next question: Exactly what operations can I do while the db is online, and what ones should I not even think of. Most of my needs are data imports and exports. I haven't found much in Online Books about this. Any help would be appreciated very much.
unfortunaly i have two tables where usernames are stored. in the one table the column is called 'remote_U' in the other 'remote_u' ... note the upper case
so want to generate listof all usernames and retrieve them in a single a column.
like SELECT DISTINCT remote_U FROM table1 APPEND (SELECT DISTINCT remote_u FROM table 2)
i have tried joins and groups, but is not working. can i also do an alphabetical order after appending the second select? distinct is needed, 'cos one user may have more then one entry in the table, but may be also in both tables ....
