Newbie : Dump The Log On Distribution Database ?
Apr 12, 2001
Hi there,
I'm a newbie. I've installed a replication between 2 NT4 servers, with SQL 6.5. My logreader tasks has crashed "Can't allocate space for objects 'syslogs' in database 'distribution' etc...". With a DBCC SQLPERF(LOGSPACE) I can see that the log is 100% full, but I can't dump it : when I use DUMP TRAN DISTRIBUTION WITH NO_LOG, my distribution log is still 100% full. So how can I do to dump it and what can I do to prevent it from filling up ? Do I need to dump it like I do for my database but how could it work if a DUMP TRAN doesn't work ?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for the English, it's not my native language.

Hi there
I sorry if I have placed this query in the wrong place.
I'm getting to grips with ASP.net 2, slowly but surely!
When i try to access my site which uses a Sql Server 2005 express DB i am receiving the following error:

<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated Security=True;Initial Catalog=ASPNETDB;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
The database is definitly in the folder that the error message relates to.
What I'm finding confusing is that the connection string seems to be finding "aranga"s database.
Is it something daft?
Many thanks.

Hi all,
When I use "DUMP DATABASE", it will help me to backup both database and
transaction log. However, it will not help me to clean up the transaction log.
Therefore, I am worry that will the following happen?
1. DUMP DATABASE
Start backup database
( there are transactions during the backup process )
Finish backup database
Start backup transaction
Finish backup transaction
2. DUMP TRANSACTION
Start backup transaction and clean up the transaction log
So, will the transactions been backuped twice? If yes, will it cause those
transaction do twice when I restore the database then restore the transaction?
Thanks

Tried googling, but I guess I have the wrong terminology for MSproducts.Using PostgreSQL, or MySQL, if I wanted to tranfer a database from onemachine to another, I'd do a "dump" with a single command, such as:mysqldump [databasename] > [path/filename]Then I'd take the file generated and dump it back onto a new machine.What's the process with MS SQL Server? Can someone point me in theright direction to a webpage dealing with this?--[ Sugapablo ][ http://www.sugapablo.com <--music ][ http://www.sugapablo.net <--personal ][ Join Bytes! <--jabber IM ]

On SQL Server 2005 SP2 for Publisher and Distributor on the same instance, my old snapshots are not being cleaned up.
The following error is in the agent history:
Executed as user: DomainMyUser. Could not remove directory '\vmsql01ReplDatauncPublication_TRANSACTIONAL20070702104416'. Check the security context of xp_cmdshell and close other processes that may be accessing the directory. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 20015). The step failed.
xp_cmdshell is enabled and I can run commands like :
exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell ' md c:TestFolder'
The permissions to the snapshot share and file system are that DomainMyUser has full control.
I have logged into the machine as this user and can remove snapshots so it does not seem to be a permission issue.
On other machines I do not get any errors but the snapshot folder still is not cleaned up.
Any suggestion as to what the problem could be?
Thanks,
Amy

Both "dump database" and "sqlmaint.exe -bkupdb" would be able to backup database, one important advantage I can see from "sqlmaint" is that it has the option to cleanup the very old generations of backups by using -delbkups option in a scheduled maintenance backup job, while the "dump database" would first create a dump device and it'll grow with time.
Is there any suggested way to use the "dump transaction" but still we can get control on the size of dasd used ?
Any negative part of using "sqlmaint" utitity to backup database as compared to the "dump database " utility ?

We run SQLMaint hourly ( as a scheduled task ) to clear our transaction logs. Last night our hard drive filled up during a log dump, causing SQLMaint to fail, and a subsequent transaction filled up the log.
We succeeded in manually truncating and clearing the log, but SQLMaint still insists on us doing a DUMP DATABASE to clear the logs before it will run again. Unfortunately, we do not have enough space left on our hard drive to do a full database dump.
Is there any way of fooling SQLMaint into believing that a DUMP has been run? Some flag in a system table somewhere, or maybe a registry entry?

I am fairly new to SQL server and am having a problem getting the SQL backup or "dump" to do what I need it to do. My desired end result is to have a database backup every night to a backup device on the same server as SQL is running, and keep one weeks worth of databases in the backup device, overwriting the database backup from 7 days before. This device is then transferred sometime later to another server using the NT AT scheduler. The first time I tried to accomplish this I used Enterprise manager to schedule a full backup to be run each night at midnight. The backup device was set to be initialized and retained for 7 days. This procedure worked once, the first night. There after it failed. In looking at books on line it said that I needed to change the transact -SQL command from INIT to NOINIT as the INIT instruction was the cause of the failure. I changed the statement in the Scheduled Task manager to NOINIT. That seemed to do the trick as I checked the backup device each of the next few days and saw that it was indeed performing the backup and retainng the databases. A week later I checked the backup device again and found that it is still adding database dumps to the file, but it is not overwriting the dumps that are 7 days old. I am told that I need the INIT statement in the dumpdevice command in order for the RETAIN DAYS = command to kick in. However, this did not work before. I can not continue adding to the dump device as it will get too large and take up too much disk space on the server. The only way I can get the device to a reasonable size is to do a backup and initialize the device, which gets rid of all of the older databases. This seems like a catch 22. Is there any way I can make this work. I am running SQL 6.5 on the latest service pack (5a). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hi,There is facility to do backup of the database. I can use thatfacility to backup the database. But before i do a backup i want tocheck if the disk space available enough to backup that database. Ihave a 22gb database mdf file, when i took a backup of that its only3gb. SO i cannot use the size of mdf file to determine the databasedump file. Is there any facility available to find out the backupdatabase dump size before doing the backup?ThanksNabhonil.

Hi,
I'm new to working with replication & I'm just starting to test some implementations. We're still using the beta, v7.00.517. and... basically nothing works, I can't even open any of the replication management features in Enterprise Manager. As soon as I select any item from the replication menu I get:
Error 208: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'msdb.dbo.MSdistributiondbs'
It's either:
A: a bug, B: something screwed up in my system databases, or C: I'm missing something really obvious.
Any insight would be much appreciated.

We are running sql 6.5 with Serv. pack 4. All of our Prod. database are backedup weekly via scheduled tasks. On occasion the dump of a particular database will cause 1 of 2 things:
1. The db dump seems to work correctly but stops sql executive service.
2. The db dump seems to work correctly but sends an alert email msg to me indicating that it failed. The msg in the email is "NO Message".
Has anyone experienced either of these 2 problems or have any solutions?

When setting up Replication in v. 6.5, a 'distribution' database is created, containing these tables:
MSjobs
MSjob_commands
MSjob_subscriptions
MSsubscriber_info
MSsubscriber_jobs
MSsubscriber_status
However, they cannot be accessed via the SQL Server Enterprise Manager interface like tables in other databases, at least I can't get to them. Is this a problem or a feature? I can query them to get their contents, but I'm wondering if there might be something wrong with my installation of SQL Server.
Any knowledge shared would be greatly appreciated.

I can't use the distribution database because it doesn't exist, and I can't create the distribution database because it already exists.
A failed replication set up had left a fat distribution database that caused the server CPU to peg 100% when I tried to set up a new Transactional replication (halfway through the wizard).
I removed all replication objects from SMSS, but the only thing that fixed it was deleting the distribution database with an ALTER to OFFLINE and a DROP, and restarting SQL.
Now, I'm unable to set up replication.
When I try, I get the error "Database 'distribution' does not exist. Make sure that the name is entered correctly."
In Distributor Properties, the Publisher is shown with a distribution database of 'distribution'. If I untick that, SQL asks if I want to disable the Publisher. I say yes & get the error "Database 'distribution' does not exist.'
Ok, so let's create it. In the General tab of that window I create a new Distribution database and call it 'distribution'. Then I get the error 'Could not add the distribution database 'distribution'. This distribution database already exists.
exec sp_helpdistributor shows distribution database as 'distribution'
SMSS doesn't show the distribution database at all.
How I can proceed?

We have a production SQL2K DB with publication.
I found replication stopped, distribution database was marked suspect
and log file is gowning.
I have tried using sp_resetstatus and restart server but recovery
said some IO errors reading distribution's datafile, so I guessed distribution database was totally dead.
I have handful documents telling me how to remove replication and
I am going to take that ride.
Before I do anything real,
is there any warning from you Prof people?
is there any trap I may encounter into?
is that OK to rebuild replication after I remove the dead replication?
highly appreciate for any help and comments.
thanks in advance!

I would like to use SQL Server Express with Advanced Services for both a centralized publication/distribution database and a local subscribing database for offline.
I need to configure the distribution database but do not see the "configure publishing and distribution" option while right-clicking on the Replication folder in SQL Server Management Studio Express.
How do I get that wizard to show? I do see the "New" -> "Subscription" wizard.
I am fairly new, any help would be greatly appreciated with configuring my centralized database. Thanks in advance!

I have a distribution database that has grown over 50g. Distribution cleanup takes over 15 hours to run and there are always very few rows in msrepl_Commands. Usually only a few hundred. Everything is being replicated fine, but I fear a storm coming. why distribution would be so large with so few rows? Also, Ghost Cleanup has been running all week, so I'm thinking maybe the records marked for deletion aren't being deleted?
