Sql Server 2005 Vs Express Size Limits
Feb 28, 2006
I've been developing a vb app with sql server 2005 and had planned to use express as the client server so the db could be distributed with the app. After importing 21 csv text files, I realized that I have way too much data. My understanding is that sqlexpress can only work with max 4gb database.
The 21 csv files (total 925mb) brought the db size up to 1.5gb and I still have at least 250 more files to go. Obviously, I need a different approach. What are the size limitations of the non express version of sql server 2005? Any suggestions on the best approach for this type of situation?

I am in the process of testing a SQL 2005 Std x64 server with merge replication using Windows Mobile 5.0 clients and SQL 2005 Mobile. The test DB is a copy of the currently active DB, but has been expanded to include some new tables to support planned application functionality extensions.
Once the publication exceeds 97 Articles, the error is thrown that "The buffer pool is too small or there are too many open cursors". If I drop one article everything is fine. I ran a test with dummy DB that had 100 blank tables, and this initialized just fine on the client. The additional articles I am publishing (the 98th table) is also empty, but it throws the error anyway.
Is there a limit on the total size/number of changes that can be sent? Since I have run tests sending over 64,000 changes to a client during initialization this does not seem to be the case (I am only attempting a little more than 9,700 changes on this initialization).
Some other ideas that have been tested without success are to stop the user triggers from propagating, and toggling the AWE setting for SQL. The Replication Monitor does say the client completes replication, and it seems to choke at the very end of completing replication when it attempts to write to the tracking tables. The last successful action is sys.sp_MSadd_merge_history90, and it appears to be acting on the last table added to the publication.
There does not appear to be a limit on the number or articles, since I can publish more articles in a dummy DB than I am able here, so it seems to be something to do with size. Any information would be helpful, this is a very frustrating issue. Thanks!

Hi everybody,
I know that SQL2005 Express has 1 GB memory limitation.
Well, if my server has 2 GB RAM and I have other applications (without memory constraints) how does this relate to the SQL constraints ?
Can I still run SQL2005 Express if other applications exaust only 1 GigaByte of memory ?
Thank you in advance.

I want to store a Zip file as a BLOB, but I get an error:
"File 'C:<path of mdf file> ' appears to have been truncated by the operating system. Expected size is 2560KB but actual size is 1536KB "
whenever the BLOB exceeds 1MB.
Any suggestions? How can I store larger .ZIP files to the Database?
I am using MS SQL 2005 Express and the data type that I gave for the column to store Blob is "varbinary(MAX)".
I am inserting byte array in to this field.
It works fine for a zip file less than 1MB but as soon as the zipped file size increases beyond 1MB, lots of error pop-up and then the database is not readable. Its says that, the data in the data base may have been corrupted...

Same issue in VS 2005. Using a setup project (or ClickOnce) there seems to be a limit to how large a content file can be. I'm cross-posting in setup and ClickOnce, but thought that other SQL CE developers may have had this issue.
---------------------------------------------------------
I cannot find a reference to this in the online help, and find no answer here. I have some SQL CE databases that are marked as 'content' in a project. One is less than a mb, the other is over 600mb. The larger one will always break the setup build if I leave it marked as content. Also will break a 'clickOnce publish' build.
How does one use the MS Visual Studio tools for setup when a file size is too big?
What is the max file size limitation?
I need to deploy with ClickOnce, but find it difficult to determine the directory that my large file will need to be copied to afterwards since a ClickOnce install uses such a confusing path to install to. So, if the workaround is to fire a script post install, it would be a problem to discover the path for that file to be copied to.-----------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, I know the maximum size limit on a database in SQL 2005 Express is 4GB, but what happens when you exceed that limit? I can't seem to find much info on that topic. What kind of error return would you get from a stored procedure attempting to do an insert that will exceed the 4GB limitation? Also what factors go into that maximum size, factors that might not be completely obvious of course?

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?

When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:

Thank you,

Hi all,
I am migrating a data warehouse from SQL 2000 to 2005. So far, I have been able to convert all DTS's on the old server and most tables and users. I am having problems with some of my views, though. A view which involves over 5 tables, and some sub-views of those tables runs perfectly on SQL 2000, but on 2005 I get a Query Timed out Message. A typical run of this view can return from 200-1000 records. My guess is that it gets stuck somewhere in the subviews it has to run. So I wonder, what are the limitations of SQL 2005 concerning Queries and sub-queries (how many subqueries can a query have without timing out?). I mean, I would expect 2005 to have more processing capacity than SQL 2000 (on which this query runs perfectly). I have run some queries which don't run on 2000 but do run on 2005 and return over 4000 records.
Or is there some setting I haven't adjusted, like the time it takes for a query to time out? How would I adjust this, then?
Many thanks for the info.

Hi,
I am currently using the SQL Server Express edition with the intention of upgrading to the full version in the future.
I know the size limitation on the Database is 4GB - however does this include the log file as well? Nothing I read says the log file is included however if anyone can give the definitive answer I would be grateful.
Also my log file maximum is set to 2GB what issues are there with reducing this to say 500MB? I assume SQL Server automatically drops the old log data to add new data when the maximum is reached.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I'm trying to learn some VB programming with the VB 2005 Express Absolute Beginner Series video tutorials (which I think is great) and have come across a problem that I can't solve.
When I follow the instructions in Lesson 9 (Databinding Data to User Interface Controls) my application will display the data from the database correctly and I can edit it (and as long as the debugger is running the data remains changed). However, the changes won't propagate back to the database. I don't get any error messages but after I edit the data, save (with the save button on the BindingNavigator toolbar), and end debugging the data in my database remains unchanged. When I use a MessageBox to show how many rows where edited/updated in the
Me.myTableTableAdapter.Update(Me.myDatabaseDataSet.myTable)
I get the correct number back. I'm sure the problem is not due to coding errors since I've also tried running the accompanying Lesson 9 project file that can be downloaded from MSDN and the problem persists.
I'm using Windows XP SP2, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and VB 2005 Express Edition. I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express with a number of different settings, including default settings, but it doesn't make any difference.
Would greatly appreciate any feedback on this as I'm keen to resolve this problem so I can get on with the next tutorial lesson.
Thanks,
Ieyasu

Hi,
I want to make a component library in Visual Basic.NET and connect to a remote Sql Server. When I create a new DataSet with the wizard, I can only connect to a .mdf file, but not to a Sql Server. With Visual Web Developer I can connect to a Sql server. What is the difference between these enviroments ? How can I do the same with Visual Basic.NET ?
Thanks in advance.

Im curious about how much data SQL Server 2000 can handle. Where does SQL Server stand today comparing to Oracle? It would be interesting to hear views and experiences from people here on swynk on SQL Server 2000. How big are the biggest tables, how many rows and speed etc. When is it time to consider using Oracle, if ever, instead of SQL Server 2000?

Hi folks. I'm trying to clear up some licensing confusion I"ve come across. First, if I use MIRROR on SS SE I am limited to a single REDO thread and Sycn mode. I see that on the Web. Will the singel REDO thread hurt the ability for the Secondary to keep up? Any one done any tests?
My confusion comes from a document that came across my desk a long time ago that showed that if you use MIRROR on SQL Server SE you are limited to 4 processors for the entire cluster. So if you wanted a balanced failover you would have to have two 2-ways in essence. Is this true? Is it not longer true? I can't seem to find any mention of this....did someone give me bad advice? Help! Thanks.

Hello all.
For my first foray into this forum I have a tricky one....
We have a table in our database called tblJob with two columns:
id IDENTITITY(1,1)
jobNbr VARCHAR (5) (This would be, for example '12323')
When a new job is created (i.e. job Number 12323), the client wants a trigger on this table that creates a new table called tblJobData12323.
Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?
Thank you in advance.

Is there a limit to how much text you can concatenate (other than datatype limits, of course)? For example, if you write:SELECT 'This is some text from: ' + Convert(char(15), SomeFieldName01)+ 'some more text' + Convert(char(25), SomeFieldName02) + 'yet moretext.' As BigNoteFROM TableIs there a limit on how much you can concatenate into that big notefield, meaning is there a limit other than the size of the data type?

I've created a database design and I'm trying to figure out if it's workable or not. I have 2 tables in particular that are sparse (20 columns, but only a few have data - about 100 bytes/row) but will grow very large - to the tune of 700 million rows.
My question is whether or not there is a problem with SQL Server 2005 having 1.5+ billion rows of data even though it will likely only take up 100 gigs or so on disk. Anyone have experience in large numbers of rows like this? We're still doing testing as far determining how slow queries will get.
Thanks,
Craig
