Good evening,
I have a SQL Server 2005 database installed, serving as back-end DB, for an ASP.Net 2 application. Currently the database size is nearly 800Mb with recovery mode set to Simple. Every single day a maintenance job runs shrinking the db size, reorganizing indexes and statistics, etc.
Since I'm not an expert in SQL Server Administration I'm trying to figure out if this space is really necessary. The previous version of this application was running under PHP5 and MySql 4. After a year, with pretty much the same load as the current version, the database size was arround 370Mb. With the SQL Server it's already -800Mb after 3 months.
Pretty much my guess is that I'm doing something wrong. I just don't have any idea of what might be going on. If one of you guys could throw in some ideas on how to check if this size was really necessary and, if not, how to reduce it, I'd be very thankful.

Hi,
Can anybody suggest any stored procedure name or C# code to find the Sql database size (database size as well as transaction log)? I want to migrate some data from my local database to the web server. Before migration, i want to know the database size on the web.
Thanks and regards,

Hi,We are in the process of selecting a database for a data warehouse typeapplication. I want to get a feel for how big can a SQL Server databaseget. As per Microsoft, it can be multiple terabytes. Can you tell meWhat is the biggest size SQL server database you manage? (I understandbig is a relative term. I consider 500+ Gig as big).Do you see any major performance problems due to size of the database?(Given that the database is designed optimally).Really appreciate your help.Thanks,Joseph

HI Everyone,
I understand that there is a 4GB size limitation on SQL Server Express edition. right?
What I want to know is what if a database file created in SQL Express is hosted with SQL Server 2005 will the file still have the 4 GB size limitations?
Thanks
One of our database is approaching the gigabyte size. I know that microsoft claims to support terabyte databases with sql server 7.0. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about the max size of database they have used on an OLTP site without running into problems. ofcourse with SQL Server.
thanks,

I designed a database for daily reporting system. It involves mainly INSERT operations and data retrieval. The problem here is the size of database is growing rapidly beyond the estimation. I changed the datatypes from int to tinyint, even after that i didn't find any difference in size of the database. Please suggest me solution by which i can optimize the database size also suggest me some tips by which i can estimate the database size. Please respond at the earliest possible.

I am having a bit of a mare on the database backup front - i.e. monster
DB, not a great deal of space to back it up into.
As I do the backup, the file on the disk seems to stay at 2KB
How does the file get written? Is there a temp somewhere first?
Cheers in advance - Dave

Hi,
i use this script that show me the size of each table and do the sum of all the table size.
SELECT
X.[name],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[rows]), 1), '.00', '') AS [rows],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[reserved]), 1), '.00', '') AS [reserved],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[data]), 1), '.00', '') AS [data],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[index_size]), 1), '.00', '') AS [index_size],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[unused]), 1), '.00', '') AS [unused]
FROM
(SELECT
CAST(object_name(id) AS varchar(50)) AS [name],
SUM(CASE WHEN indid < 2 THEN CONVERT(bigint, [rows]) END) AS [rows],
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, reserved)) * 8 AS reserved,
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, dpages)) * 8 AS data,
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, used) - CONVERT(bigint, dpages)) * 8 AS index_size,
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, reserved) - CONVERT(bigint, used)) * 8 AS unused
FROM sysindexes WITH (NOLOCK)
WHERE sysindexes.indid IN (0, 1, 255)
AND sysindexes.id > 100
AND object_name(sysindexes.id) <> 'dtproperties'
GROUP BY sysindexes.id WITH ROLLUP) AS X
ORDER BY X.[name]
the problem is that the sum of all tables is not the same size when i make a full database backup.
example of this is when i run this query against my database i see a sum of 111,899 KB that they are 111MB,but when
i do full backup to that database the size of this full backup is 1.5GB,why is that and where this size come from?

I am having an issue in determining the correct size of a table.
I have a tableA in some DB on transaction server (Enterprise Edition), this table is being replicated in reporting server DB (Standard edition).
When I check the space used by this table in both the databases i see noticeable difference.
I am using EXEC sp_spaceused 'tableA' to determine the space.
Transaction Server
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
name rows reserveddata index_size unused
TableA1439999 695416 KB507048 KB182912 KB 5456 KB
Reporting Server
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
name rows reserveddata index_size unused
TableA1439999 656904 KB483664 KB172680 KB 560 KB
So I wanted to know what could be the possible reasons for this difference ?
I am trying to resize a database initial log file from 500M to 2M. I€™m using€?
ALTER DATABASE <DBNAME> MODIFY FILE ( NAME = <DBLOGFILENAME, SIZE = 2 ) "
And I'm getting "MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size." I tried going into the database properties and setting the log file to 2M, but it doesn€™t keep the changes.
Any help with this process?
Hi,
I am using
exec sp_helpdb
go
dbcc sqlperf(logspace) for
getting database size and log size. Is this gives the correct
database size and log size or Is there any other way to get the logsize and database size by means of query analyzer.
Thanks in Advance.

I'm getting this error while trying to insert records into a SQL Server Compact Edition database. I have pasted my connection string that was used when creating the database as well as for accessing that same database from my Windows application.
Thanks for any help any of you can give!
Data Source=OnTheGo.sdf;Encrypt Database=True;Password=<password>;Max Database Size=4091
Hello,
I am developing a smart device application with Visual Studio .Net 2005 and SQL Server Compact Edition database. And also using merge replication to synchronize the data from the mobile device to the SQL Server.
My database size is around 350MB. So when I am trying to synchronize this is the error message that I get.
" The database file is larger than the configured maximum database size. The setting takes effect on the first concurrent database connection only.[Required Max Database size ( in MB; 0 if unknown)=129].
I tried changing the Max database size in the connection string and my connection string looks as follows and still did not have any luck.
connstr= "Data Source=Storage CardItems.sdf;Max Database Size=500;"
Any help regarding this would be appreciated.
Thank you

We have a SQL server database most time for read only because the data source comes from another database( which is not SQL server database, now it is about 2G). Every day we have a job running as following:
Step 0. extra the data from another database, and create plain text files for each table for BCP job.
Step 1. drop all of the index
Step 2. truncate all of the tables.
Step 3. BCP in all of the data from plain text file.
Step 4. create all of the index again
Step 5. shirnk the database.
Everything runs fine but the database grows 1 G from yesterday's database. I am sure we do not have so much data entry in one day.
Any one can give some suggestion?
I wonder if I need do shirnk the database or shirnk the data file before create the index.
How can know how much size for all of the index file?
Thank you very much.

I am a beginner with sql and I have been inputting data (txt files) to my database and now have approached 4GB in size and it will not let me expand any further on the primary file group. My 'boss' said that sql has no size. I am using desktop

Just wondering if anyone knew the maximum size of a database that SQL Server 7 can handle.

When I run sp_spaceused on my database it give me a total size of 258MB
The backup of this database reads 226MB
The Properties screen tells me that my data is a total of 278MB
I am running SQL 7.0 .
Why am I getting different sizes?
I have a simple question, why Am I running out of space with my current 3.5GB database, I am constantly expanding it, yet when I dump the database nightly the dump is just around 1.5GB?

Hi all,
We are using sql6.5. srvpack 3.
I noticed that one of our database was maxed out, and increased the size of the device and then increased the size of the database.
when I checked the database it is still showing the database is maxed out. I did it twice, it still shows that the space has been used.
Can anyone please explain to me why this is happening and how to get the actual space measurement.
Thanks in advance.
After we ran sp_spaceused on one database, the size for the UNUSED column is a negative number -1324KB. Can someone explain how this could happen? I really appreciate.

I need to check the log size of my database periodically and send a notification if the size exceeds 8 GB. I want to set this up as job that runs every 30 minutes or so and page the DBA if it exceeds the above said limit. Can anyone give me the command which can be used to obtain the logsize into a variable. I am new to SQL and would appreciate your expert advise.
Thanks,
