I run out of space on the disk, my db log is 130GB, I need to shrink db log. I made a backup through network by UNC of the database, but when I want to backup log, I get a message :
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.
But the backup is reachable, I can restore from it.
Hello, I am trying to shrink/compress/minimize my SQL Express database as possible. The reason is that I want to upload it to a temporary free ASP.NET hosting, that limits the size of the database. so, I can develop it online. Please assist.
hello,all I am new to Sql 2000,I installed sql 2000 database in C disk,but Now I found my C disk space is smaller than before,So I want to move my databse(include data and structure) from C Disk to D Disk(its space is very large) . is it possible to do it ? if its can be done ,do I need to change my asp.net program source code (exp: chaneg my crystal report connectstring ) ? thanks in advanced!
If I return the Average, Minimum, and Maximum values for the counter Physical Disk: Avg. Disk Queue Length, and those values are 10, 0, 87 respectively, which value do I use to compute the Avg. Disk Queue Length for a 4 disk array(RAID 10): Average, Minimum, or Maximum? The disk(lun) is on a SAN.

I am trying to setup a test cluster and am having an issue. When I try to create the resource of a physical disk it takes both the drive e: and drive q: and doesn't seperate them into two physical disks as resources. This means when I try to associate the quorum disk it links the to physcial disk resource of drive e and q. Then when I try to install SQL2k5 I get the warning about installing SQL on the quorum disk. Am I missing something? Is there a way to seperate e and q onto two physical disk resources so I can specifically associate the quorum to q and the sql to e or should I be setting the quorum disk to a majority node set? Thanks in advance.
I have a three tier system using SQL server 2000, we are currently experiencing IO bottle necks on our SCSI Raid 10 array, which holds the Data and the logs in separate partitions.
So my options as I understand it are:
Get Enterprise edition
or
Get another physical raid 10 array and separate the logs and data i.e. data on one array and logs on the other array.
I would like to try the latter but I am totally unsure how much difference this will make or whether it will make any difference at all.
Does anyone know how much performance increase I will get from using two arrays as opposed to one?
Any other advice on this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
Can anyone give me any input on this. Recently TempDB one of my production server came down because tempDB got so big that it chewed up all the space in it's drive. My TempDB was in drive C:, where the Operating system and the rest of the SQL systems databases are(msdb,model,master). The actual production data are located in another logical RAID 5(Drive E:) Drive. I want to prevent the problem from happening again. Is it wise or does it degrade performance if i move TEMPDB from drive C: to drive E:? Is this going to cause a major bottom neck in drive E:, where the data are located?
what happens if the physical location of a box(which had sql server 2000 on it) is chaned. what happens to the replication and distributed queries. Thanks.
Where would i place an orderby my DateCreated field...everywhere i try to place it i get this error... The ORDER BY clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived tables, subqueries, and common table expressions, unless TOP or FOR XML is also specified. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated....

I have a design that includes articles that will be searched. Obviously its too slow to put them into fields, and impossible because some have photos or are otherwise html documents. So I want to put pointers to their location.
Two questions. For each deployment, both desktop and web, where is the best place to put the articles. In any folder, or only in an iis virtual folder?
I'm rapidly understanding that much more of my application as a whole is in SQL Server that I would have originally thought.
Stored Procedures Triggers Constrains And so on
It generally means that some of the stuff I'd have naturally done in the Business Layer might be best done in SQL - certain issues in the Business Layer might be best being triggers or constraints for example...
One thing that still puzzles me, and I'd like some references or advice now as it's a blank area in my mind is how this interfaces to your asp.net code.
Obviously I call stored procedures and the like from code, and use parameters, etc, not problem, it's more what I do when these stored procedures or associated triggers fail (or a constrain fails - though this should be less likely)?
SQL sends back an error? But what? Then what do you get your page to do, especially if SQL failed midway through a 'big' transaction? Do you have save 'where the user was somehow' so they don't start inputting again?
It's all a bit vague at the moment, some detail would be nice? :)
Hello all,I have an SQL query which retrieves a COUNT number from 2 different tables, and i want to do a division with botht he COUNT data retrieved. Trouble is I can't get it in the format that I want, my SQL query is as below :-SELECT ROUND( ((T1.Present/T2.Total ) * 100), 2) FROM(Select Count(Date) as Present from Attendance WHERE Month(Date)=12 AND Status=1) T1,(Select Count(Date) as Total from Attendance WHERE Month(Date)=12) T2The trouble here is that the result should be as below: T1.Present = 3T2.Total = 5 T1.Present/T2.Total = 3/5 = 0.6The final should be 60 after divided by 100But i am getting a zero as my result, even when I don't multiply the number by 100, the division result is still zero. I am guessing it is a conversion problem. Could anyone please offer me any advise on how to get the final result in the format I want?
Hi, I want to replace the indexes in my database to a different filegroup. How can I do that using T-SQL? I only found a way that uses the EM, but I have a lot of indexes and I hate to do it manually.
One of our customers has a production and a test database. We are loading tables via a C++ program that works on production, but not on test, which is supposed to be an exact duplicate.
The error we are getting when trying to add columns to one of the table is 80004e21 null That is it.
When we load the exact same records in the production environment we do not get the error. We have spent many hours ensuring that the tables are exactly the same on test as in production.
Does anyone know, is there an environment variable at a database level that says how to handle null values?
Does anyone know if it is possible to use a variable in place of a database..table combination in a select statement
For Example: Instead of using the following with each database hardcoded in the SP:
select @dataused = sum(b.reserved) from DBSglep..sysindexes b where b.indid in (0, 1, 255) and segment != 2
I would like to loop for every database listed in sysdatabases and do this:
select @dbname = @dataname+'..sysindexes'
select @dataused = sum(b.reserved from @dbname b where b.indid in (0, 1, 255) and segment != 2
I have got the loop working, but just can't get the name substitution working as MSSQL dosn't seem to allow a variable after the FROM statement (it only seems to work with a hardcoded specific database..table name).
Any assistance in resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated! :-)
Last 2 nights (at night) my SQL Server has locked up, first night trying to back up MSDB(20 meg) and last night ran out of memory at 6:30 AM. No users on at either time, no jobs running on the second night. I was going to turn perfmon on tonite. Any input on what best to monitor?
i'm wondering if i can use a stored procedure in place of a UDF in the case where i want a return value based on a simple calculation involving the input parameter.
i'd like to use this inline in a query somewhere else. that's why the UDF.
the UDF would be something like this ...
create function getFiscalYear (@when datetime) returns int as BEGIN declare @rv int
-- months of Oct, Nov, Dec are rolled into following year if datepart(month, @when) >= 10 select @rv = datepart(year, @when) + 1
-- whereas all other months stay in this year else select @rv = datepart(year, @when) end
END
so, the only reason i'm not using this UDF (and haven't tested it either) is because i can't find (or can't remember how :( ) to add a UDF to my database. when i run this code in Query Analyzer i get an error on the keyword "function". but that's another question altogether.
thanks in advance. (a) for helping with a stored procedure that does the equivalent or (b) nudging me in the right direction towards getting UDFs to work in my SQL 2000 install.
I have a table called Register that has the following in it
Policy_number, Policy_date_time, Portfolio_set, Status..The rule for the table is that the last record for each portfolio_set for a policy the status needs to be 'A' but there have been instances that the last record status is 'I'
I need to identify the record that is out of place..In the example below record number 2.
example
policy_number Policy_date_time Portfolio_set, status 12345 1/1/2011 1 I 12345 1/2/2011 1 A 12345 1/3/2011 1 I 12345 1/4/2011 1 I
I need to identify that the second record is in the wrong place...
. . . UPDATE Employees set depth=0, hierarchy=NULL
UPDATE Employees set depth=1, hierarchy=right(@MaxPadLength + CAST(Employees.Parent AS varchar(255)),@DisplayPadLength) where Child = Parent
WHILE EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE Depth=0 ) . . . I have many tables that have the same structure as the Employees table but have different names. I would like to pass the PS a paramater with the table name I want to process. My question is what is the correct syntax to use a parameter in place of the literals for the table name?
i have a table name is HH tableit has two columns 'hhno' and hhname'HH tabelehhno hhname100 suresh101 baba103 rami want to insert a one record(102 , chandra) in HH table between(101,baba) and( 103 ,ram).how can i insert them please help ,me thanks
While we choose in-place upgrade for upgrading to SQL Server 2005 from SQL Server 2000, does it actually change the code in Stored Procedures/functions also?
e.g. if I have *= in some old procedure does it change it to INNER JOIN while migrating?
I am totally new to the BI world. I was just wondering where I should start to begin setting up a BI solution. I started trying to go through the Microsoft Anaylsis Services tutorial line for line in the MSDN website. I couldn't get the sample solution to work quite right. Should I be starting somewhere more simple to start. Please help, so far it looks a bit overwelming, especially with the terminology and examples I have seen so far from various sites about BI and Data Mining.
