Is there any way i can solve this problem.
will it help me by just restarting the sqlserver
My tempdb is eating 1.27 gb of space of my d dive, and now only 10 mb is left in d drive . for this i stoped and started sqlserver but it didnt release much of space.Pls let me know is there any other way so that i can release some space from my tempdb.
how can i figure out why? it's a brand new high spec computer.
i have sp that is being run probably about 25 times a minute which checks that a records is not a duplicate and inserts... could this be tying up the cpu? how can i figure out what is doing it?
hi,I have sql server express installed and checked its process and noticed it is consuming over 47k of ram. Is this normal?Why is this process taking up so much memory? Thanks,john
Hello again.I'm developing an ASP.NET web application with VS2005 and SLQ Server 2005. The problem is with SQL Server: I tried to add a new column to an existent table (with more than 2500 rows) by mean SQL Server, but it takes almost 1 minute to do each click when I open the table in edit mode. I don't think that it is normal. May be it because the size of the databases? (8 databases: 30GB in total)? may be a error of configuration? I reviewed the RAM use of SQL Server and it takes 1.1 GB!!! so, I rebooted the server and then it was taking 540Kb of RAM. I don't know if this is the better place to do this question, but if it isn't please refer me to the right place to do it. Thanks in advance. PD: sorry for any misspell/mistake, I'm not a fluent English-speaker.
Hi to all, i have a very important problem...pls help me
I have a server with Windows 2003 Server (3GB RAM) and SQL SERVER 2000 running on it, my problem is that sqlserv.exe eat 2GB RAM even if on this server nothing happen....if i restart the service of SQL Server everything is ok eat just 30 MB RAM but after some minutes...after i made a simple select or a simple delete....simple things he arrive to 2GB RAM...this not happen until now(2 days ago)...the problem is that when he arrive to ~2GB RAM the statio run very slow and i receive the error "Time out expire"
this problem happens and on my local station where i have Win XP PRO (1 GB RAM) SQL Server 2000....
I have a large set of data that I need to match against another large set of data. The reference table has 9.8mill rows and my input has 14.6mill rows. I started with a new project. I added my connection, then a task to clear the result table, then my data flow, then my OLE source, then my Fuzzy Lookup task, then my SQL Server Destination. I set the connection of my OLE source and set the query to pull the data. Then I set the connection of my Fuzzy Lookup task, set the reference table and told it to create a new index (the problem also occurs if I use a generated index) and then set up the matching criteria. Then I set the connection and destination for the SQL Server Destination.
After setting all this up, I hit Run. The thing ran great until ~ 800k rows and then it failed. I ran it several times and it always failed right around 800k with a message saying there was not enough space and then an error with buffers being passed to the Fuzzy Lookup component. I opened Task Manager and watched the resources as it ran and was amazed at what I saw. The Fuzzy Lookup component eats up every bit of Virtual Memory available and when it can't take any more, it errors out. I tried setting the Max Memory setting on the component and it seems to have no effect. I also played with the buffer settings on the data flow task to no avail. I even went as far as to put an identity on my input table and create a function that outputs selects that use a between on the identity to break the data into 600k chunks. I set up a ForEach component and DTS variables, but the Fuzzy Lookup component does not free the VM after the iteration of the ForEach component!
I ended up running each chunk of 600k one at a time. I have to automate this for the future, so I need a solution. Does anyone have an idea for me?
"tempdb is skipped. You cannot run a query that requires tempdb"?
We're running a .Net web application with a SQL Server 2000 backend, and we get the error intermittently. Restarting the SQL Server service seems to fix it, as it causes tempdb to be rebuilt, but this isn't a long term solution. Any direction or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Mike
[.NET 2.0, Visual Basic, RadChart/RadPanel/RadTimer controls (www.telerik.com), SQLDataSource controls, SQLServer 2002] I have only been working with .NET for about a month now so my knowledge and understanding are pretty low in some areas, including this one. What I have is a number of webpages that have several RadChart controls on them (8 to 12 charts per page). Each of these charts is bound to a seperate SQLDataSource with a variation of the following query: 1 SELECT [QC Shot Logs].penetration, charges.penmra, charges.penmts, [QC Shot Logs].time2 FROM [QC Shot Logs] INNER JOIN (select top 1 run.runid, run.linerpress#, run.partid3 from run where run.linerpress# = '1' order by run.[date] desc) as drun ON [QC Shot Logs].RunID = dRun.RunID4 INNER JOIN Charges ON dRun.PartID = Charges.PartID5 where [qc shot logs].shottype < 3 order by [qc shot logs].timeEach chart represents the results of a quality control check on explosives that my company uses and puts the data in a visual format so that it is easy to see if the blasts passed or failed inspection. The different variations in the SQL code above are simply a change in line #3: where run.linerpress# = '1', where run.linerpress# = '2', and so on up to '12'. Data is added and modified in the database quite a bit throughout the day at random times, so I need the charts to refresh their data pretty frequently (done with a RadTimer control). The problem that is caused then is that I have 12 RadCharts individually bound to 12 SQLDataSources that all get refreshed every 30 seconds or so, which takes quite a bit of time. The main Quality Control computer monitors four webpages at a time, one of them with 12 Charts/Sources, and three with 8 Charts/Sources each. Having 36 charts up at a time with 36 hits on the database going as well causes a great deal of lag on the system. In addition to that though, there are also two other pages (each with 12 charts/sources) that can be viewed by any number of people at any time, which (obviously) causes more lag on the system. So, on to my actual questions: 1) Can I use a single SQLDataSource control to gather all of the data I need for the 8-12 RadCharts on a single page? I'm not too well versed in SQL either, so I don't know if I can modify the SQL so that it picks up all of the information I need, or if I can gather the data for the first chart, change a variable to pull the data for the second, change the variable again, etc. 2) Is there a way to refresh the RadCharts so that the data they display is relatively real time without having to refresh the SQLDataSources as well? And then, of course, any suggestions at all that you can give me that will help to improve overall performace or anything of the like is definitely appreciated.
THis is sql server 6.5 question. I have tempdb data device size default 2 MB, which has completely filled up. I am trying to expand data device to it. I created new device tempdb_data_ext (250 MB) and tried to expand tempdb data device. But everytime I do it, it ends up adding space to tempdb log device. How can I expand tempdb data device?
Hi, How can I control the growth of tempdb in SQl server.It's growing like anything. CAn I create some alerts or jobs and what those alerts/job are supposed to do? All help appreciated. Jai
Hello! This is error message I discovered in NT even viewer: c:MSSQL7DATATEMPDB.MDF: Operating system error 112(There is not enough space on the disk.) encountered.
In SQL Server error log the errors are: Error: 1101, Severity: 17, State: 10
Could not allocate new page for database 'TEMPDB'. There are no more pages available in filegroup DEFAULT. Space can be created by dropping objects, adding additional files, or allowing file growth..
Currently tempdb rezides on C drive and it's almost out of space. What should I do? Detach tempdb and then move to different drive? What's the procedure?
TEMPDB in one of our production servers does not clear up so every three to four weeks I have to restart NT. Nothing like this happens on any of the other three servers. Does anybody know where I should look at to correct the problem. I sure would appreciate it. Thanks Shashu
I have never done this before and thought I would ask. Is it possible to detach the tempdb database, move it to another drive or partition, and then re-attach it? What would be the downside or side-affects to doing such a thing?
Error : 933, Severity: 22, State: 1 Logical page 258 of the log encountered while retrieving highest timestamp in database 'tempdb' is not the last page of the log and we are not currently recovering that database.
I use sqlserver -T4022 to start my SQL Server since it will not start with out it. When I start sqlserver without the option, it tells me that
Error : 615, Severity: 21, State: 1 Unable to find database table id = 2, name = 'tempdb'.
I need to move tempdb to another drive,also increase the size.Largest database is 15GB.Can anyone suggest the size and also the exact commands to move.Do I need to backup the databases before I do this task?If SP1 is not installed,will it be o.k for me for this tempdb problem.If we have a larger tempdb like 4GB,will it effect anything?...Urgent!!
I read an article on this site by Michael Hotek re "Basic SQL Server 6.5 Configuration Options". In the paragraph about TempDB he says that you should always avoid using Temp tables in stored procs. I use this feature a lot when trying to do "not in" type queries (I filter out a portion of a larger table and then use the "not in" on the temp table rather than the entire table.) Is there a better way to run a Not in query. I have the table well indexed (i think) but it seems to do a full table scan if I use the entire table.
Our Tempdb.mdf file is 11 gigs. I have tried several things to shrink this but with no luck. Does anybody have a suggestion on how I can free up that space. I have tried to re-start Sql but that didn't do anything. I thought that there was a bug, if the files got above 4 gig that sql wouldn't clear them, but I could be wrong
I thought I could detach it, and attach a new file, but makes me nervous without knowing if that’s correct.
I am trying to configure a 6.5 server to set the tempdb to run off disk. I reset the tempdb in ram = 0 in the configuration, and restarted the service, but it left it as running in ram, with 0 configured. I then rebooted the server, and it still left the tempdb in ram. Any ideas?
I am trying to get some information about tempdb database. I've tried BOL but I couldn't find a whole lot of info. I am trying to find out what size should tempdb be to not to cause problems. Also, I am trying to shrink tempdb by using shrink database option in EM, but it only shrinks the tempdb transaction log not the datafile, and I don't know why it is happening.
We are using Peoplesoft HRMS version 7.0 on NT Server 4.0 and SQL Server 6.5, service packs on both up-to-date.
The server is a HP LX Pro with 4 200 MHz 1MB cache processors with 2,560 MB of RAM and 18 9GB drives configured with different combinations of RAID 1, 1+0, and 5.
The database is 2.3GB in actual size with the specific size of 6GB for data and 2GB for log on separate RAIDs.
We would like to use tempdb in RAM to boost the speed of complex queries that use the tempdb for intermediate working tables.
We would like to know of any experience of running tempdb in RAM, issues to overcome, of how to setup.
There are articles and books not recommending using tempdb in RAM. Comments anyone?
Note: Have looked in SQL Server DBA Survival Guide, and SQL Server Unleashed, along with the normal MS Documentation, technet, online books, and knowledge base searches.
Everything I've ever heard or seen says not to put tempDB in RAM, citing reasons of negligible benefit or even worse performance as it steals memory from SQL's cache memory.
My issue is I need to take anywhere from 500 to 3000 records (games played) in a batch every five minutes from a table, ordered by game id. There's no guarantee of sequential order to how the records are inserted, so I need to do an ORDER BY in my query. I also do a stored procedure for ranking that requires an ORDER BY.
The performance difference between the two is staggering. 1000 records with a 200 mb tempdb database (not in RAM) takes about 300 seconds. With a 16 MB tempdb database IN ram, it takes just under 127 seconds. Only problem? I'm constantly getting, after a few batches have run, "out of space in syslogs for tempdb ram messages. "
Is there a way to net such performance from tempdb without putting it in RAM, and if not, is there a way to explicity clear out tempdb. Thanks for any help.
I have a problem with Tempdb database on SQL 6.5 server.....when i create a temporary table, i block other users in other databases. Actually i run a stored procedure which creates a temporary table and then the procedure insets some values of a table from my test database. When the spored procedure is executed, users in other databases also get blocked and no new user will be allowd to log on to the server. When i check as to what the other users are executing, i find that they are also creting or droping a temp table. So i will have to either kill my SP or let it finish and continue blocking other users.
As of now, i am not able to find a reason for that and i try to run the Stored procedure in offpeak hrs.
I have not played around much with Temp tables in SQL 6.5. Pl do suggest me as to what to do....
Some details you would be interested on :
Server - SQL Server 6.5 Front End - Great Plains Size of Tempdb - Data Space Available( It says shared with data) database_name database_size unallocated space ------------------------------ ------------------ ------------------ tempdb 1502.00 MB -6301.82 MB
I have a dumb ? When I go in to expand the tempdb to at least 25mb req. for the migration It is actually expanding the Log size & the Db available size still says 1.76mb.
Being new to SQL server I would like some information regarding the tempdb database.
I user SQL Server 2000.
At present I appear to be backing up my tempdb but it has been failing since way back. It gives me this error when trying to bakup the database:
Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. Backup and restore operations are not allowed on database tempdb. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3147) BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed.
Can someone give me a basic grounding as to what the tempdb is used for and should I back it up or not?
