Shrink File Tool From EM Took All The Empty Space Allocated To Data File
Jul 20, 2005I've production sql server 7 sp3 on windows NT. I had a 8GB data file ofwhich 5GB were used and 3GB were unused. I wanted to take back the unused3GB.So I did the following with EM GUI:1. I tried to "truncate fre space from end of the file". Didn't truncatethe file. I believe there was no empty space at the end of the file.2. Next I chose the option to "shrink file to 5GB". And to my horror thedata file instead of taking just 5GB took the empty spaces also and the sizeof the used data file went to 8GB.Any idea what's going on?TIA,SP
View 2 Replies View RelatedFlat File Connector Stops Processing File On Empty Row And Generates Fatal Error
Dec 27, 2007Here's a really annoying problem. Let's say you have a text file with 2 million rows.Delimiters all look good and rows are previewed well but the file has a missing row at say lin 1234567 - way deep in the file. When SSIS encounters the blank row, an error is raised and processing on the file STOPS! I verified this in by checking the SSIS log and have even developed an error routine to notify me via email when the error occurs (really cool if I do say so myself ). The main problem still remains - how to resume processing from the point of failure in the file? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Apr 29, 2014Why shrinkfile empty file does not redistribute data evenly in the primary file group with multiple files:
Please run the script attached to see what the end result is.
This is what I set up last night on my test machine.
1) Create database [FGTest] size 200MB
2) Create table called TEST on primary
3) Insert 40MB of data into test
4) Create another file group called temp in primary size 200MB
5) Shrinkfile('FGTest',emptyfile) so that all data is transfered from FGTest into temp file group.
6) Add another 2 files called DATA2 and DATA3. Both are 200MB.
7) We now have 3 empty files that I want data distributed evenly on. FGTest, DATA2 & DATA3
8) Shrinkfile('temp',emptyfile) to move all the data from temp over the 3 file groups evenly
I would expect at this stage to have the following:
FGTest = 13MB,
DATA2 = 13MB,
DATA3 = 13MB
(40MB of data over 3 files should be about 13 MBish in each file)
What I actually end up with is this:
FGTest = 20MB
DATA1 = 10MB
DATA2 = 10MB
It looks as though SQL Server is allocating 50% of all data to the original file and then 50% evenly over
the remaining files in PRIMARY.
Setting Up File Conn Mgr When File Is Sometimes Empty
Jun 4, 2007Hi,
Here's an interesting problem. I have to set up connection managers for some files. The thing is, sometimes the files have data in them, sometimes not.
The files that don't have data in them just have some header info, so the file isn't technically empty, but I won't want to load these files when they're empty.
What would be an approach to solving this problem? I can't eliminate the file based on file size, since it's not 0, and there is no set file size that would be a reliable threshold, since they're small files to begin with.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Empty Excel File Before DTS

Bcp Out And Creating An Empty File
May 17, 2003I am using this bcp out construct and it works fine except that if the query does not return values it bcp's out a file anyhow. This is not wanted and I am looking for a work around.
SELECT @Year = CONVERT(varchar(4), @trxYearMonthStart, 120)
SELECT @Month = RIGHT(CONVERT(varchar(7), @trxYearMonthStart, 120),2)
SELECT @cmd = 'BCP "SELECT * FROM ' + @TableToBeCleaned + ''
SELECT @cmd = @cmd + ' WHERE '+ @SelectedColumn + ' BETWEEN '
print @cmd
SELECT @cmd = @cmd + '''' + CONVERT(varchar(10),@trxYearMonthStart,120) + ''' and ''' + CONVERT(varchar(10),@trxYearMonthEnd,120) + ''''
print @cmd
SELECT @cmd = @cmd + 'AND NOT EXISTS (Select * from DBCleanerHist Where TableName = ''' + @TableToBeCleaned + ''' and sYear = '+ @Year + ' and sMonth = ' + @Month + ')'
print @cmd
SELECT @cmd = @cmd + ' " QUERYOUT ' + @DBCleanerBackUpPath+'' +@TableToBeCleaned +'_'+ @Year + '_' + @Month + '.txt '
SELECT @cmd = @cmd + ' -c -C1250 -S -Uopms -Psmpo'
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @cmd
The subquery checks first in DBCleanerHist if a file already has been extracted onto hd and if so do not create an empty file and overwrite an existing file.

Empty Text File
Nov 28, 2007My team is working on a problem. Please help us solve it.
I am looping through a set of files and on each loop i process the file and move it to another folder. I am using File System task and variables with destination path and name, to do so . It works fine.
Requirement :
However now I want that after processing the file, instead of moving it, I create an empty text file at the destination containing the file name. I want to do this with minimum effort. Can anyone suggest me the way.

Emptyfile Died And File Not Empty
May 26, 2006I was running a DBCC SHRINKFILE with EMPTYFILE to move data to a different drive. But somehow the autogrow got unchecked on the new file while it was running. So the shrinkfile died and the file wasn't anywhere near being empty. When I try to run it again on the file is comes back right away and says that it completed, but it hasn't moved any data. It like SQL thinks that the empty file is complete. But it isn't near being done, with about 50 GB left to go. I made sure that the new file will autogrow and that it actually can grow and also that I can write to it. I created an index on the filegroup and it went to the new file and not the old. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Anthony

Jan 22, 2006Hello,I'm not getting any response to this on the SQLDTS newsgroup, so Ithought that I would try here:I just ran into this problem and I can't find any other mention of itthrough Google. I have a text file that is comma-delimited. It alsouses double quotes as text identifiers. A new column has been added tothe file, but currently has no values. I would like to finish mydevelopment so that when it does finally get some values, they will beimported as well. The problem is, the last column does not show up inDTS.I can reproduce this problem easily enough... create a text file withthe following two lines in it:1,"test",2,"test2",Now, create a new DTS package and add a text file connection. Point itto the new file and go through the properties for the file. You willnotice that on the second screen where it displays the preview of thedata there are only two columns shown.This does not happen if there is no text qualifier or if at least onerow has the final column value filled. Is there any way around thisproblem?Thanks!-Tom.

SQL 2012 :: Deadlock XDL File Remains Empty Even During Deadlocks
Mar 13, 2015In order to troubleshoot some deadlocking that I am seeing on SQL Server, I am trying to capture the Deadlock XML by enabling the Events Extraction Settings option 'Save Deadlock XML events separately' and specifying a Deadlock XML results file.
Meanwhile, I am also tracing the Deadlock graph, Lock:Deadlock, and Lock:Deadlock Chain events. Yet the xdl file remains empty even though I am getting hits on the events themselves in the SQL Profiler trace.
Also, I have the following trace flag settings enabled.

Why the xdl file remains empty even though (I think) it should contain some XML for deadlocks that are actually happening?
Cannot Import Excel Source File With Empty Last Column
Oct 23, 2007Hi All,
I have a particular issue that has been causing me some problems for a while. I have an SSIS package that imports an excel file into my database, and then performs various data manipulation that I won't go into. The problem I am having is at the import end. The excel source file I am working on is provided to me by my client. It is a fixed format and doesn't change, it contains a header row and there are 32 headings. The trouble I am having is that quite often, the last column is empty, i.e. it contains no data. The header is still there, but theres no data underneath. When I try to import this file using my SSIS package it fails, and complains about needing to remove the metadata for this final column from the External Columns list (VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA). When I try to preview this file in the properties of the Excel Data Source, the last column does not exist. It's as if it's determining that as there is no data in that final column, that it's unnecessary and not part of the data set, even though it has a header.
Now I've done a bit of research, and found cases that a sort of like mine, I know that the excel file has the first 8 records sampled to determine the data format. This problem suggested to use the IMEX=1 extension in the connection string, which didn't help. I also discovered that when using flat files, if you have odd numbers of columns in your comma seperated list there can be problems. But neither of these issues seem to match the issue I'm facing.
Has ANYONE had a similar problem to me, and can anyone offer any kind of assistance regarding what I need to do to import an excel file that may or may not have data in the final column?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: How To Identify Empty Data File
Jan 21, 2015I was running an operation to shrink file/emptyfile a data file, and then remove it.
It blocked and caused a huge mess, I suspect on the removal part. But I want to confirm that the emptyfile completed (and that the engine isn't going to try to put more data in there for when I schedule the removal part again a week or more from now).
How does the engine know not to put any more data in there, and how long does that situation last?

Default To NULL Instead Of Blank/empty String During Flat File Import
Aug 15, 2006Hi,
In SSIS flat file import using fastload, I'm trying to import data into SQL 2005 previously created tables.
The table may contain column that are NULLable BUT there is NO DEFAULT for them.
If the incoming data from flat files contains nothing either between the delimeters, how can I have a NULL value inserted in the column instead of blank/empty string?
I didn't find an easy flag unless I'm doing something wrong. I know of at least two ways to do it the hard way:
1- set the DEFAULT(NULL) for EVERY column that needs this behaviour
2-set up some Derived Column option in the package to return NULL if the value is missing.
Both of the above are time consuming since I'm dealing with many tables. Is there a quick option to default the value to NULL WHEN there is NO data ELSE insert the data itself? So the same behavior that I have right now except that I want NULL in place of empty string/blank in the varchar(x) columns.
Thanks

Source Script Component Using A Flat File Connection - System.ArgumentException: Empty Pathname Is Not Legal.
Jul 18, 2006I am using a Foreach loop container to go thru all the files downloaded from the ftp site and I am assigning the file name of each file to a variable at the foreach loop level called filename. In the dataflow task inside the foreach loop container, I have a source script component that uses a flat file connection. The connection string of the flat file connection is set to the filename variable declared at the foreach loop level. However the script component has a error System.ArgumentException: Empty pathname is not legal.
Please let me know how to correct this? The connectionString property of the flat file connection is set to the complete filename including the path. Does a script component need to have a flat file name specified in the flat file connection that it is using? I need to have a script source component as the flat file I am reading from is not in any of the standard formats.
The flat file connection manager's connection string property is blanked out the moment I specify an Expression for the connection string. Is this a defect or is it expected behavior.
Any inputs appreciated.
PS: I looked thru Jamie's blog at

ALL And Empty Set
Sep 29, 2006SQL Server 2000 SP4. Hoping to find a logical explanation for a certainbehavior.Consider this script:USE pubsGOIF 1 = ALL (SELECT contract FROM dbo.authors WHERE state = 'CA')PRINT 'TRUE'ELSEPRINT 'FALSE'This, as expected, prints FALSE, since not all authors in CA are undercontract. Now, if the script is changed as follows:USE pubsGOIF 1 = ALL (SELECT contract FROM dbo.authors WHERE state = '')PRINT 'TRUE'ELSEPRINT 'FALSE'then the result is TRUE. In other words, the expression evaluates to TRUEwhen the select statement produces an empty set, which doesn't make senseto me. Even more interesting, the expressionNULL = ALL (SELECT contract FROM dbo.authors WHERE state = '')still evaluates to TRUE (ANSI_NULLS is ON).Can anyone explain these results? Is this the expected behavior in the SQLstandard, or something that is specific to SQL Server? Thanks.--remove a 9 to reply by email

Transaction Log Never Empty
Jan 26, 2000Hi, I have a SQL Server 6.50 - 6.50.415 (Intel X86) and one database has 8Gb of data and 2Gb of log, the problem is that
the log space used is never below 44%, even if I back it up this way:
DUMP TRANSACTION DBName TO DBNAME_log_930 VOLUME = 'SS0003' WITH NOUNLOAD , STATS = 10, INIT , NOSKIP
This should clean the log, right?
I check for open transactions via: dbcc opentran (GMS), but there aren't.
The way I check for the log space used is: dbcc sqlperf(logspace)
The recover interval is 5.
Any Ideas?

Bcp Out Empty Column
Feb 27, 2006I'm bcp-ing a table to a file. I've noticed that if a varchar column is empty, that both "bcp -c" and "bcp -c -k" export the empty value as #$00. Instead, I'd like to export the value as if it were null.
use monkey
go
create table tab1 (
myColumn varchar(10) null
)
go
insert into tab1 (myColumn) values ('')
go
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'bcp monkey..tab1 out D:data.csv -c -T'
go
drop table tab1
go
I've been fiddling about with other switches but so far haven't come up with a solution other than writing out the full SELECT-statement or updating the original. Anyone with an easier solution?

Database Empty
Mar 23, 2006hello everyone,
am not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes.
We have a couple of clients we support running MS SQL, and as a rule, all db access is by SP and select statements.
However, we noticed earlier today, that a newly created account was empty. All columns except the users columns had been deleted.
1. Is there a way of checking which user account deleted the columns ?
2. Or finding out what went wrong ?
This has never happened before

Empty DB Structure
Apr 24, 2007Hi,
I have to change collation for certain database. I think the only solution is to export or create through scripts the empty db structure (tables, PK & FK, defaults) and thereafter import data.
Since I don't have empty structure of this database I have to create somehow from the existing one which is with data, can somebody suggest how can I do this - take out the structure of the database from the db with data on it. I have 256 tables and I have to order them first with the dependencies of the tables?!
I will be really thankfull if somebody can help me on this issue.
