Hi, I have a problem importing data from SQL Server 2000 'text' columns to SQL Server 2005 nvarchar(max) columns. I get the following error when encountering a transfer of any column that matches the above.
The error is copied below,
Any help on this greatly appreciated...

I want to know encrypted data's size for designing database field size.
For example, cardnumber varchar(20) Encrypted by Triple_DES and PassPhrase, How match size does need to encrypted data store field.
I think the size does not depend to PassPhrase char length.

Just wanted to know what is a general rule of thumb when determining log file space against a database's data file.We allow our data file for our database to grow 10%, unlimited. We do not allow our log file to autogrow due to a specific and poorly written process (which we are in a three month process of remove) that can balloon the log file size.Should it be 10% of the Data file, i.e. if the Date file size is 800MB the log file should be 8MB?I realize there are a myraid of factors that go against file size but a general starting point would be nice.ThanksJeff--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com

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?
I have a report where in I have a combination of matrix ,table data regions.
The problem what I am facing is that the data tables don't remain fixed in their position and they tend to move down.
E.g. table 1 and table 2Â are on the same page in design time side by side (right and left)however during the runtime the table1 is pushed down and table2 is at its position .
Now how can I keep them all fixed in their same position. Most of the tables have fixed size rows and some who have high size of rows have been put at the end . What settings we can set?
One of our databases has the following sizes:
Data used : 4017.14MB (191.29%)
Indexes 35.48 mb (1.69%)
Unused : 5.27 MB (0.25 %)
Unreserved: -1957.89 mb (- 93.23 %)
Total Size 2100MB
looking at this the data size is 2100Mb and the data used is more at 4014.14MB.
How can I sort this out, do I simply need to create another device and expand the database or do I need to do something else?
Cheers
hi
just wondering if any expert out there can answer my question.
i got a database separate into 3 datafiles in 3 different drives.
i will name it A, B, C.
A datafile size 30G, B datafile size 15G, C datafile size 15G.
and the drive for datafile A is about full. so is there anyway i can more some of data from A datafile to other data file? or since A+B+C =60G can i make it all 20G for each one of them by any command? thanks!!! :)
So which is the biggest database you have worked with ?

I need to store totalsize,usedsize,freesize of the datafiles in a table to get an average of how much my datafile has increased over a week.
The above query i am using is for logfile size. Can any one help me with datafile size plz.
I've checked sp_helpfile, sysfiles but couldn't find what i am lookin for(used and free space). EM in taskpad view for a database shows the statistics for the datafile. I've tried a trace to find out a stored procedure but couldn't!!!
May be i am unaware of a simple stored-procedure that can do this for me.
Howdy!

Hi!
I'm using SQL Server 2000!
How to know then Data files size and Log files size by Store Procedures or Sql query?
Thanks!
how can i change the initial size of the data and log file size ??? in my database properties it shows that my data file size is 81 mb and log file size is 985 mb! but my database only contains some tables and stored procedures with few rows of data in each tableand i checked that the actual mdf and ldf files are really that big... i tried to change it but it didn't work...can someone please teach me how to change it thanks!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find a way to look at the size of each table in a database and the last time each table was updated/accessed by a user. I was just given control over a DB that is VERY BADLY maintained and I want to look at what I can get rid of in it. I want to start deleating by size and last used. I can find creation dates for the tables and row counts but not total size and last update/access of the tables. Does anyone know how to get this information?

Hello Guys,
Just wondering if someone can help me decrease the size of mdf and ldf files. In the past production database "NewUniverse" had been allocated space of 100 GB for mdf file and 8 GB of ldf file. However the data file has only used 30 GB of data. But now due to disk space related reason, I tried to decrease the datafile size from 100 GB to 40 GB. But I am not able to do it.
Any help in this regard would be appreciated.
I am trying to compute the actual size of data and indexes in my database.
I have used DBArtisan,Desktop DBA and SEM , they all gave me different results.
Does any body now a valide , correct way of determining the size and the utilization of the database.
-Also I am trying to come up with archive/purge procedures , is their publications,white papers or ideas about this issue.
Thanks in Advance

I need to store images in MS SQL. I have the upload procedures and stuff but I'm missing the point about the image data type size.
It is supposed to be able to store up to 2Gb!!! but when I declare the data field image I can't specify the max size for the field and by default is 16 !!
16 bytes!! what can I do with that?
How can I insert a file?
Please help
Against my better judgement, we are using fixed allocations of tempdb on some of our servers. This is to deal with specific limitations of our applicaitons and hardware configuration that I'm not allowed to discuss in much detail.
The problem that I have is that the present plan is to configure the data file at around 18 Gb and the log file at around 2 Gb. This seems just plain wrong to me, but I haven't been able to find a formal recommendation that gives any relative sizing. I would expect to have about twice as much log as data space, especially for tempdb.
Does anyone know of a formal citation (preferably from Microsoft) that discusses this?

Hi all,
little background,
When I need an amount column I usually declare a numeric(9,2). Anything bigger then that ends up taking 9 bytes instead of 5 bytes and for the most part (9,2) is more then enough. Also I usually don't use (5, 2), (6, 2), etc... since they end up taking the same space as a (9,2), that is unless I want to specifically restrict the amount value to something smaller. Occasionally I will use smallmoney for smaller amounts, however I pretty much never use money data type since it's 8 bytes... that is unless I need more digits after the dot...
so enough background, here is the question,
Let's say you've got a numeric(5, 2) and a numeric(9, 2), as far performance goes are the two fields the same? Both columns have a size of 5 bytes so I assume that as far storage and I/O goes there is no performance difference.... Fair assumption?
But what about CPU and other things, are there any performance gain in using a smaller numeric column?
Hi All,
Is it possible to increase the size of data file in SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
I think the licensed limit is 4096MB whcih i am unable to increase.
Could anyone let if is it possible to increase the data file size and if yes then how?
Thanks,

I'm new to the DBA world, and have no one else in the company to look up to. Does anyone know what I might need to check out or do when the Data File Size is 204% full? Or is this not necessarily a bad thing?
I'm getting this from a Diagnostic tool I have.
The number of tables is 148
Data file size 35,941 MB
Data Size 26,549.92 MB
Index Size 177,130.02 MB
Log File Size 5.05 MB
Thanks,

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using ODBC to interface a Microsoft SQL Server 2000. One of theoperations involves placing files within BLOBs. I'm using the imagedata type for this purpose. Most of the time this works okey, but whentrying to add a 21,3 MB file I get an error. The error code is 22001,which means "String right-truncation". But why? Does this mean thatthe field cannot accepts BLOBs with this size?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a few VLDB's that we want to make smaller. Since the tables are running on legacy stuff, all of it's basically made with int's and char's and it's horriably inefficant.
The problem that I came across is when I made a new table with the best data types and copied the data from the old table, the table size was the exact size (excluding the index size). It was estimated that a total of ~20 GB would be saved with this change. As it turned out, 0 bytes of data were saved with the data types chagnes.
Why are the two tables the same, even though one has much more efficant data types?
If you want more information about the table I'm using:
391 columns.
50,147,035 rows.
65,295.625 MB in size.

I've set up an alert to email me whenever the database is over a certain size. The amount is calculated by taking 80% of the total data file size. The problem I'm having is that it keeps generating a false positive alert because MS SQL seems to treat the currently used value as the total allocated space for the database data file. For example, the data file is 100MB, it's currently using 60MB, and if I enter 80MB in the alert, it generates an email alert claiming the current size is 100MB. Could it be because the data file size is set to 100MB (since autogrowth is disabled)?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn my database there is a big table and format is something like this:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTable](
[aaa] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[bbb] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[ccc] [nvarchar](max) NULL,
[ddd] [nvarchar](100) NULL,.......etc.........
There are some more columns with more 'nvarchar' (max) and other INT data types. Anyway, I know a page is 8K size. How do I find out how much space does A ROW takes with above datatypes? If users add 5000 Rows per day, how do I figure out how much size the table will increase?
Due to SQL's proportional fill algorithm I'd like to have the amount of data in my data files as close to equal as possible.
File sizes before:
dat 482,895 MB 0% free
2dat 436,927 MB 3% free
I made the max size of each file 600,000 MB and added a third file 3dat also 600,000 MB. I rebuilt all the clustered indexes (and nonclustered for good measure) and unfortunately the re-balancing wasn't quite right.
File sizes after:
dat 464,761 MB 77% free
2dat 443,234 MB 73% free
3dat 309,568 MB 51% free
I only have a handful of heap tables that take up <100MB total so they're not the issue. I did do an ONLINE index rebuild. I'm not sure if an offline rebuild would have been better. I will not be able to try and offline for a few weeks though as it's time consuming and I have other tasks I need to run on this test server now.
I did a FULLSCAN rebuild on any column statistics not updated by the index rebuild but that didn't help either.
