We have allocating space for a number of filegroups in our database. We had thought the one index was going to a certain table and it actually wasn't. So, one filegroup is filling up faster than another. We want to leave the index where it is, just take away space from one filegroup and add it to another. Is this possible?
Thanks!
I am using SQL Server 2000. How can I tell how much free space isavailable within a particular filegroup? What query can I run to getthis information?Thanks,Greg

Hi all,
I need to load a table with 820,000 records from a Sybase db via DTS. It always fail with the error:
"Error at destination for row number 820000. Could not allocate space for object in tablespace tempdb
. The default filegroup is full.".
There is only the primary filegroup defined in the db. I've increased the size from 1.5GB to 2GB,
and specify that it shd grow automatically by 10% and there's no limit to the size.
There is still some 28GB in the server, so it should be fine.
It still fail so I added another file to the primary filegroup with size 100MB. Again, it failed with the same error msg.
Where or how else can I increase the tempdb size?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanx,
Jes
I have an error on the phpbb message board I am using. I have a MS SQL database and cannot figure out what I get this error. How could I fix this?
The full error is:
Could not allocate space for object 'phpbb_topics' in database 'adultsiblinggrief' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full.
How do i find Total allocated space and used space of a memory optimized filegroup?
use memory_optimized_db
Go
select (SUM(size)*8.0)/1024.0 as Space,
FILEGROUP_NAME ( data_space_id ) , type_desc from sys.database_files
group by data_space_id,type_desc;
above query gives "current used size of the container " of memory optimized file group but doesn't give Total space detail.
Hi,
I am trying to do this:

I am generating a Report from Sql Data Source in Sql Server 2005 and viewing the Report in Report viewer control of Visual Studio 2005.
The data in the Data Source contains string with multiple spaces (for example €œ Test String €œ) but when they get rendered in Report viewer control, multiple spaces gets converted to single space €? Test String €œ.
I tried following solutions
1) Replacing spaces with €œ €?
2) Inserting <pre> tag before the string and </pre> tag after the string (Also tried <Pre> instead of <pre>)
But in all the cases result is same. The Report Viewer control is showing €œ €? instead of space and €œ<Pre>€? tag instead of preserving spaces.
Please provide me a solution so that spaces can be preserved in Report Viewer.

Hi.. I was doing a good maintenance on my DB and my trans log LDF keep growing until 30GB but my DB data file MDF is only 2GB. I found the two following method to reduce my log size.
Method 1: I used veritas to backup log file with truncate
Method 2: I used the shrink database option in Enterprises manager to shrink it (file chosen=log , use default option)
After doing that, I found my LDF log file is still about the same size=27GB but when I see clearly, from the shrink database windows, the log spaced used reduced to only 100MB, the allocation log space is still 27GB. Why? How to make the LDF smaller to be the around the same size as the space used 100MB?
This is driving me bananas. Can't find any info on this anywhere....SQL 2000 seems to replace double space with a single space when I seta varchar field to " " (2spaces), it only stores " " (1space). Whyon earth would microsoft do this? If I save 2 spaces - I WANT TO SEE2 SPACES!!!!Can anyone help? Is this a database setting? Is this due to usingvarchar?Any help appreciated.Colin Hale

Somebody know how to reduce the space allocated for the transaction log space for my SQL_DB ?
3700 MB allocated but only 100 MB used and 3600 MB are free !
Transaction log properties :
Automatically grow file are filled
file growth by percent = 5%
maximum file size - restrict filegrowth = 3700 MB (we can't reduce it !)
Thank you for your precious help !

How do we suppress multiple spaces to a single space in T-SQL
E.G.
Field: FullName
e.g.
WOMENS HEALTH RIVER VALLEY
JOHN FAMILY MED GROUP
HERSH STWEART P.
PARK HEIGHTS MEDICAL CENTER
KOPP WHITEFIELD E
The o/p wanted is
HERSH STWEART P.
Thank you.

I am asked to split this table into 2 filegroups and move text and images on to one and other stuff on one.
I am new to MS-SQL 7.0.
Can anyone suggest me how to go for it.
Thanking you.
i understand that the filegroup for a table can be specified in the CREATE Table statement. just out of curiosity, is there any way to move a table to a different filegroup, that too, if the table contains data.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
There is a table which is about 50GB is size.
I am thinking of placing the database of this table into a separate .ndf on a separate drive on the server.
Is it possible to place this particular table into a searate drive to increase the performance even more?
Basically my question is: is it possible to place tables into separate .ndf files?
Thanks
Hi,
I have created a database with two filegroups called FG_GroupData, FG_GroupHistory.
FG_GroupData is set as default.
FG_GroupData contains two secondary data files i.e. GroupData1.ndf and GroupData2.ndf
I can create a table so that it is stored in FG_GroupHistory. i.e.
CREATE TABLE dbo.OrdersHistory
(
OrderID int NOT NULL,
ProductID int NOT NULL,
CustomerID int NOT NULL,
UnitPrice money NOT NULL,
OrderQty smallint NOT NULL
)
ON FG_GroupHistory
Questions:
1)
How do I add tables to each .ndf file inside a group i.e. FG_GroupData
For example, how do I add a table to GroupData1.ndf and one to GroupData2.ndf ?
2)
I guess there is no need to place the file name i.e. .ndf inside the select query
Thanks
What is the advantage of having two secondary files inside a filegroup.
For example, I can create a table and place it inside a filegroup which obviously will use the secondary files.
Not sure why some DBAs create just one but otherscreate more than one secondar files in a filegroup.
I have read the booksonline but can not figure out the advantages.
Thanks
Can anyone show me in SQL7 how to obtain Available Space on a particular filegroup in a database (not the database or datafile).
I am trying to include this in a script to monitor my database which uses Filegroups and I have every other info that I need (from the sysfiles table) except the available space. Thanks in advance!
hi...
I don't know well this statement...
1. from Transcender
.....
One file for each filegroup is sufficient because creating multiple files for the same filegroup on the same disk does not provide any performance gain
2. from bol
....
Therefore, creating more files per filegroup can help increase performance because a separate thread is used to scan each file in parallel
what is correct ?
thanks !!
Hi ,
I am restoring a VLDB from a Standby server which has just .mdf and .ldf to my production server which has .mdf and a file group with a single .ndf
file, i want to restore the databse on to the Secondary file(is this possible) i checked the BOl but could not figure out of what command is to be given
Any hhelp will be greatly appreciated..
Thanks in advance

Is it possible to back up one filegroup independently from the second when tables
in one group have foreign key relationships with tables in the second group?
I want to remove a filegroup.
ALTER DATABASE MyDBName
REMOVE FILEGROUP MyFileGroupName
It says:
Server: Msg 5042, Level 16, State 7, Line 1
The filegroup 'MyFileGroupName' cannot be removed because it is not empty.
Question: How can I tell what is on this filegroup.
<Forgive me if it is a simple BOL answer, but I'm having trouble finding it>
Hello,
A few days ago one our database's default filegroup filled up. To solve the problem one of my colleagues created a new filegroup. This didn't solve the problem as no objects were placed on this filegroup and the initial one is still full. The idea was to expand the original filegroup over a new physical disk, not to create a new filegroup on that disk. Unfortunately, this is what happened.
To solve this I want to delete the new filegroup, but when I issue the command 'alter database PvgOmcsOds remove filegroup ternary' I get the message 'Server: Msg 5042, Level 16, State 7, Line 1 The filegroup 'ternary' cannot be removed because it is not empty.' Yet there're no objects placed on this filegroup.
How can I get rid of this filegroup?

I am managing 120 gb SQL7 database. The 120 GB is in a RAID5 (Hardware RAID). At begining, I think I should create a user defined filegroup besides Primary filegroup, as BOL suggested.
After I read some discussions here, It appears I cannot gain any performance by adding second filegroups. Now I want to drop the filegroup I created. The Question is How?. If I do alter database, move all files from userdefined filegroup, does this mean my userdefined filegroup has gone?
Someone can help me on this!
Thanks a lot.
I have 2 test database identical in size and table structure, only one resides on filegroups and one resides on a single file.
From everything I have heard filegroups are suppose to improve performance. I stop and start the server before each test to clean out
cache. When I run the filegroup test initially the first run averages 20 seconds slower then the database sitting on the single file. However
on consective runs there is a significant improvement in performance with filegroups verses single files. I have
the indexes sitting on a separate filegroup and 2 additional filegroups to spread the tables across. Does any one know what would be causing
the performance to degrade on the initial run of the test. (The test by the way is a stored procedure that runs a select statement against each table).
Any Info Will help Thanks

Hi all,
I am trying to remove one of the filegroups in the development database to shrink its size down. I started with emptying and removing its files and ran:
dbcc shrinkfile
(pubs_data_1,emptyfile)
go
and it ran fine, with 'DBCC execution completed' message
but when I tried :
alter database pubs
remove file pubs_data_1
go
I got 'pubs_data_1 cannot be removed because it is not empty'.
I even tried to go to each of the tables and delete from them first which didn't work, then drop all tables in that filegroup (I knew which tables are located on that filegroup), that didn't work either.
Any ideas? Is there a way to check what else sits on that filegroup?
Thanks
We have sql 2000 server at a remote site that log ships to a standby server at the site, and back here to corporate. For performance we are adding a new RAID array to the remote servers along with a new file group for indexes. The server back here is older and we can't add this RAID. For log shipping purposes, what if anything might happen to this server when the filegroup is added. We are going to be using this filegroup for indexes
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, I am running out of space on one of the local drive, and I would like to move a filegroup from one
drive to another. Does anyone know how to do it?
Are there any general recommendations concerning filegroups? My personal point of view is to place large tables in their own filegroups and group smaller, more static, tables in a single filegroup. Is it also good practice to group small and large index in two separate filegroups or should each large index have their own filegroup? Are there any useful links out there concerning filegroups and configuration?

Is there a way to rename a Filegroup "FG1" to "FG2"?
For those interested, I'm trying to script a sliding window procedure for my partitioned table and rather than use dynamic SQL I'd like to always refer to the same Filegroup name (ie. "FG1").
Many thanks,
Richard.
WHERE DO I FOUND THE FILEGROUP?
WHEN THIS ERROR OCCURED
Could not allocate space for object '<temporary system object: 431024047390720>' in database 'tempdb' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup.
