I have some code I build 2 weeks ago which I’ve been running daily but it’s suddenly stopped working with the following error.
“The table "tbl_Intraday_Tmp" has been created, but its maximum row size exceeds the allowed maximum of 8060 bytes. INSERT or UPDATE to this table will fail if the resulting row exceeds the size limit” When I google this there seems to be a related to tables with vast numbers of columns.
My table tbl_Intraday_tmp is relatively small. It has 7 columns. 1 of varchar(5), 3 of decimal(9,3) and 2 of decimal(18,0). The bit I’m puzzled with is it was working and stopped.
I don’t recall changing anything but I wouldn’t rule that out. I ‘ve inspected the source files and I don’t believe they have changed either.
if SQL SERVER 2000 only allow 8060 bytes per row, then how can it store images or CLOB data? Is there a way that would let us change the maximum number of bytes per row? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I'm importing about 15 million rows of data from an access file to an MSSQL database. Some of the fields in the Access file are of DataType "text". The destination fields in the SQL DB are of type varchar(50), and none of the text fields in the access file actually use anything other then English characters. I put in a "data conversion" item to handle the switch from "text" (which usually trys conversion to nvarchar by default) to varchar.
The import works, and the resulting table ends up weighing about 1.2 gigs. HOWEVER, the log itself is a crazy 7-8 gigs heavy. I have no idea why the log size bloats this much. I can backup/shrink later in the package, but this 8 gig could easily push the hard drive over its limit at some point before completion and I'm looking for a better alternative.
Database is on "simple" recovery mode. The combined size of the db, before the operation, log + data, is maybe around 5 meg.
Incidentally, I tried with out the intermediate data conversion step, and a similar thing happened - log finishes up about 7 gig, table is 1.2
Seems ridiculous that the log should grow faster then the table. Any ideas why??

First of all, field names have been changed to protect the innocent. Second, I did *not* create this table...I'm troubleshooting issues with a previously created table. I've no idea why almost every field needs to be an NVARCHAR data type of that size. Finally, as you can probably guess, I'm getting this error on a SQL Server 2000 database. (Yeah, it's past time we upgraded to SQL Server 2005 at least...explain that to management, please. I suggest you speak slowly and use small words.)
Anyhow, the error is "Warning: The table 'ExampleTable' has been created but its maximum row size (13348) exceeds the maximum number of bytes per row (8060). INSERT or UPDATE of a row in this table will fail if the resulting row length exceeds 8060 bytes."
Am I misunderstanding how the row size is calculated? How is SQL Server getting 13,348 bytes from the above statement?
Any and all constructive suggestions/ideas are much appreciated! Thanks!
Sql Server has many data types. For Example: smallint Integer data from -2^15 (-32,768) through 2^15 - 1 (32,767). Storage size is 2 bytes. I want to know that If it contains like 0 or 100 or 1000 or -200 or -2000 or more or less. What will its actual size? 2 bytes or change with the value. Please also mention the reference with your answer. if available.
Dim oParameter As New System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeParameter("@pMyParameter", SqlDbType.Binary, 3000)
If you set a watch on this object, the size is set back to 510. I have tried resetting the size back to 3000 after construction using oParameter.Size, but it doesn't change from 510. If the command is executed using ExecNonQuery, this causes the bytes to get cut off at 510 bytes and returns the error: Byte array truncation to a length of 510.
Can I insert data into SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition, into a field of data type binary(3000) using .NET CF 2.0 via SqlServerCe objects?
Hi, Im trying to create a VERY wide table, with 1,000 columns of type varchar(MAX), nullable. The CREATE TABLE statement (both in SQL 2005 & 2008), gives the following warning:
Warning: The table "WIDE_TABLE" has been created, but its maximum row size exceeds the allowed maximum of 8060 bytes. INSERT or UPDATE to this table will fail if the resulting row exceeds the size limit.
When I insert data into the table, filling all columns with small, 10-byte string values, I get the following error:
Msg 50000, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_pivot, Line 118
Cannot create a row of size 15034 which is greater than the allowable maximum of 8060.
Id like to verify this observation: each row is created with 2000 bytes of offset data (2 byte * 1000 columns), 125 bytes for null bitmap (1000 columns / 8 bits) and some more wasted? row information. This leaves less than 6K for the data itself. But since not all columns can fit within the page, forwarding pointers in the row need to be created, 24 byte per column, which very quickly add up to more than 8K, thus the error. So the 8K limit is met for much less columns than the max 1024 column restriction.
Furthermore, in SQL 2008, SPARSE columns will not solve the problem (maybe save some metadata? space in case the columns are null, but if not, Im with the same problem again, or even worse, since now each value takes more storage space. The max 30,000 columns in 2008 is only for cases where the column values are really sparse
Is this the right observation? if so, is there a workaround besides splitting to multiple tables?
In the document, it says that the maximum database size is 524,258 terabytes; however, it also says that the maximum data file size--which I assume is the .MDF file--is 16 terabytes. My question is, how can you create a 524,258 TB database if the maximum file size 16 TB?
Is there any limit to the maximum size of a datafile or transaction log you can have with SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2000. Also is there a maximum size that should be adhered to for performance and admin reasons ?.
I've found a two different answers for this question:
one - on the http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=920700 site where on the Performance improvements section there is a 128MB value in the Database size.
other is in the product datasheet there is a information that this version supports databases up to 4 GB.
Hello! I'm trying to figure out what the ultimate size limitation for a SQL 2005 Enterprise server is. This document is helpful but I'm a bit confused:

I'd like to replicate an SQL Server Database to an SDF file. For Simplicity I want to use the SQL Server 2005 Management Console. The Console reports that the maximum buffer size were to small. In the comment (c# code) I can see it is set to 512. How can I increase the value in the replication assistant?
One of our production databases was setup mirroring, log shipping and replication on it, the log file was setup unrestricted growth. This morning one index rebuilding process generated lots of logs, and the log file disk ran out of space, the database was in recovery mode. so we had to disable log shipping, pause mirroring and replication, expand log file disk, restarted SQL instance to fix the issue. Now we want to setup the log file to maximum size 80G, the whole log file disk is 120G.
So if the log file reached 80G next time, we can change the max size to 90G or 100G and it's easier to fix the space issue. My question is, if the database log file reached max size,
1. is the database still available? 2. Will the active session causing the issue be rollback to release space back?
I'm seeing some strange behavior from the OLE DB Destination when using the "fast load" access mode and setting the "Maximum insert commit size".
When I do not set the "Rows per batch" or the "Maximum insert commit size", the package I'm working with inserts 123,070 rows using a single "insert bulk" statement. The data seems to flow through the pipeline until it gets to the OLE DB Destination and then I see a short pause. I'm assuming the pause is from the "insert bulk" statement handling all of the rows at once.
When I set the "Rows per batch" option but leave the "Maximum insert commit size" alone, I generally see the same behavior -- a single "insert bulk" statement that handles all 123,070. In this case, however, the "insert bulk" statement has a "ROWS_PER_BATCH" option appended to the statement that matches the "Rows per batch" setting. This makes sense. I'm assuming the "insert bulk" then "batches" the rows into multiple insert statements (although I'm unsure of how to confirm this). This version of the "insert bulk" statement appears to run in about the same time as the case above.
When I set the "Maximum insert commit size" option and leave the "Rows per batch" statement alone, I see multiple "insert bulk" statements being executed, each handling the lower of either the value I specify for the "Maximum insert commit size" or the number of rows in a single buffer flowing through the pipeline. In my testing, the number of rows in a buffer was 9,681. So, if I set the "Maximum insert commit size" to 5,000, I see two "insert bulk" statements for each buffer that flows into the OLE DB Destination (one handling 5,000 rows and one handling 4,681 rows). If I set the "Maximum insert commit size" to 10,000, I see a single "insert bulk" statement for each buffer that flows into the OLE DB Destination (handling 9,681 rows).
Now the problem. When I set the "Maximum insert commit size" as described in the last case above, I see LONG pauses between buffers being handled by the OLE DB Destination. For example, I might see one buffer of data flow through (and be handled by one or more "insert bulk" statements based on the "Maximum insert commit size" setting), then see a 2-3 minute pause before the next buffer of data is handled (with its one or more "insert bulk" statements being executed). Then I might see a 4-5 minute pause before the next buffer of data is handled. The pause between the buffers being passed through the OLE DB Destination (and handled via the "insert bulk" statements) is sometimes shorter, sometimes longer.
Using Profiler, I don't see any other activity going on within the database or within SQL Server itself that would explain the pauses between the buffers being handled by the OLE DB Destination and the resulting "insert bulk" statements...
Can anyone explain what is going on here? Is setting the "Maximum insert commit size" a bad idea? What are the differences between it and the "Rows per batch" setting and what are the recommended uses of these two options to try to improve the performance of the insert (particularly when handling millions of rows)?

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!

We just put on our main accounting (50 GB total, 8 GB largest table - GLTRAN) database on a new Windows Advanced 2003 server with 8 GBs of memory. Everything is essentially the same as the old box, aside from the fact that it's on Windows Advanced 2003 Server and it's using LUNS as the E: drive where the SQL database is kept. It runs fine for the most part, excpet this one report takes literally 20 times longer to run than on the pld box.
It's SQL Enterprise 2000 SP4 (also the same). Are there new config options for SQL when running on a 2003 server? Or is it how the OS is handling the SQL service? I'm perplexed. It's not indexes. I still have the old box and load the current dbase to it for testing purposes and the report runs like lightning on it.
How can i create a case statement with a bigger and smaller than sign in it. I keep on getting an error.
Here is the piece of code i'm working on and simply enough, the idea of what i am trying to accomplish.
Code Snippet SELECT Weight.Weight, Height.Height, (Weight.Weight/(Height.Height*Height.Height)) AS BMI, CASE BMI WHEN (BMI < 18) THEN 'Under Weight' WHEN (BMI < 25) THEN 'Healthy Weight' END AS 'BMI Grouping'
