Tran Log Space Used ????
Aug 22, 2002Hi There,
How do I find the space used for the tran log of the db. sp_spaceused gives the space used for the complete database. but I need the space used for a tran log alone.
Thanks in advance.

Logistics Of Begin Tran And Rollback Tran
Dec 19, 2007I am running an Execute SQL task that does a Begin Tran, then the next task in the sequence is a data task which imports a XML file into two tables. If i doo a Rollback Tran only one of the two tables is rolled back.
Is it possible to have both tables rolled back from one Begin tran command or do i need to split the datatasl into two and treat each import as a seperate issue ?
The connection is set to retainsameconnection
thanks
Begin Tran, Commit Tran
Oct 8, 2007
Hi,
I want to rollback my t-sql if it encounters an error. I wrote this code:
begin tran mytrans;
insert into table1 values (1, 'test');
insert into table1 values (1, 'jsaureouwrolsjflseorwurw'); -- it will encounter error here since max value to be inputted is 10
commit tran mytrans;
I forced my insert to have an error by putting a value that exceeds the data size. However, I didn't do any rollback. Anything i missed out?

Mutilple Space Gets Converted To Single Space In Report Viewer Control
Feb 23, 2007I am generating a Report from Sql Data Source in Sql Server 2005 and viewing the Report in Report viewer control of Visual Studio 2005.
The data in the Data Source contains string with multiple spaces (for example €œ Test String €œ) but when they get rendered in Report viewer control, multiple spaces gets converted to single space €? Test String €œ.
I tried following solutions
1) Replacing spaces with €œ €?
2) Inserting <pre> tag before the string and </pre> tag after the string (Also tried <Pre> instead of <pre>)
But in all the cases result is same. The Report Viewer control is showing €œ €? instead of space and €œ<Pre>€? tag instead of preserving spaces.
Please provide me a solution so that spaces can be preserved in Report Viewer.

Trans Log-&>space Allocated 27GB, Space Used 100MB
Mar 2, 2005Hi.. I was doing a good maintenance on my DB and my trans log LDF keep growing until 30GB but my DB data file MDF is only 2GB. I found the two following method to reduce my log size.
Method 1: I used veritas to backup log file with truncate
Method 2: I used the shrink database option in Enterprises manager to shrink it (file chosen=log , use default option)
After doing that, I found my LDF log file is still about the same size=27GB but when I see clearly, from the shrink database windows, the log spaced used reduced to only 100MB, the allocation log space is still 27GB. Why? How to make the LDF smaller to be the around the same size as the space used 100MB?

Can't find any info on this anywhere....SQL 2000 seems to replace double space with a single space when I seta varchar field to " " (2spaces), it only stores " " (1space). Whyon earth would microsoft do this? If I save 2 spaces - I WANT TO SEE2 SPACES!!!!Can anyone help? Is this a database setting? Is this due to usingvarchar?Any help appreciated.Colin Hale

Apr 20, 2001To All:
On my SQL 6.5 box, I have a corrupt Tran log. I do not use my Tran log but now I am getting an 1105 error, that the log is full. I run Dump tran with no log but it does not work. I cannot perform any other function without getting the 1105 error. Now I tried to reboot and now it is hanging during reboot. It is hanging while checking the partition where the tran log resides. I went in to VGA Mode. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Many thanks,

Problem With Space Allocated For Transaction Log Space
Dec 5, 2001Hello,
Somebody know how to reduce the space allocated for the transaction log space for my SQL_DB ?
3700 MB allocated but only 100 MB used and 3600 MB are free !
Transaction log properties :
Automatically grow file are filled
file growth by percent = 5%
maximum file size - restrict filegrowth = 3700 MB (we can't reduce it !)
Thank you for your precious help !

Tran Log Growth
Aug 14, 2001Does this seem right? We have our transaction logs set to "Truncate Log on Checkpoint" and they still grow over 1GB. Is it possible that one transaction (to a checkpoint) generates this much logged information? Will transaction log backups every 5-10 minutes help me out better or is this just a poorly written application?
Thanks!

Tran Log Problems Please Help
Aug 13, 1999Help. I have a database with high transaction rates. THe log is 300 mbs. No matter what i do I cannot get it below 64%. I have dumped and trucated the log yet it will not budge. Being friday and it being a time card application this is my heaviest transaction day. Please help
View 2 Replies View RelatedTran Logs And Backups
Oct 19, 2000What is the advantage of taking frequent tran log backups (say every 30mins) as opposed to once a day? Say, I backup data and tran log once every night and I lost a table at 10:00am next day. Can't I recover the database to the point in time by restoring the previous night's backup and then applying the transaction log from previous night and then applying the transaction log (to the point int time) that you just dumped when the mishap was reported to you?
Thanks

View 4 Replies View RelatedIf @@trancount &> 0 Commit Tran
Apr 28, 2003Hi,
Reviewing the MSSQL process info screen, I am seeing the same process appear a numer of times. It is always the same, being
'IF @@TRANCOUNT > 0 COMMIT TRAN'
Sometimes, there can be up to a hundred of these processes (listed in the process info screen). They generally have a 'sleeping' status, but nonetheless, I would like to see these processes disappear if they are not being used.
I have checked in all of the stored procedures and triggers in the application, and none have this sql statement.
When I run profiler, I get these entries, but the profiler says they belong to either SQL Enterprise Manager or 'Microsoft Windows 2000 Operating System', and not to the application I am running.
Does anyone know where these transactions come from? Can I prevent these from appearing? If no, what is the impact (other than sql server having to maintain a connection).
Thanks,
Jim

Any insight is appreciated.

Need To Release The TRAN Lock??
Dec 19, 2007The former programmer wrote this stored procedure. It haven't been run for a while, so I was given the assignment to get it working. When I ran the stored procedure, it took almost 9 hours. Then I found that I can't access a few tables, so my guess it there is some issues with table locking. The stored procedure use this...
Code:
BEGIN TRAN
--blah blah
COMMIT TRAN
ERROR_HANDLER:
ROLLBACK TRAN
Obviously there seem to be a logic error in the middle of the script while running the stored procedure. So, how do I cancel the transaction and unlock the table? I'm unable to access the few tables.
Also, does rebooting the computer helped to release the transaction or table locking?
Thanks...
Tran Log Backup Question
Nov 22, 2004Hi,
I have my tran log backup running every 30 mins. One of the log backups took 36 mins to complete. So at a time I would have two log backups taking place. It seems to me that the 2nd log back up did not happen at all ( I checked in the EM) as the first one wasn't completed by then.
I am kind of lost here as to how to proceed.
Please advise.
Thanks.

View 1 Replies View RelatedBEGIN TRAN . . . WITH MARK . . .
Mar 29, 2006Hallo All,
Can somebody explain why the same function works different with MS SQL 2000 and MS SQL 2005?
On both systems 2000 and 2005 I have 2x databases named ACCT and PROD (actually only a test environment).
On both systems I try to execute the following statements:
BEGIN TRAN TRAN_01 WITH MARK 'My TRAN_01'
USE PROD
INSERT INTO [PROD].[dbo].[_PROT]([STR_COMMENT], [R_NUM_T1], [R_NUM_T2])
VALUES('PROT_COMMENT', 1004, 1004)
USE ACCT
INSERT INTO [ACCT].[dbo].[_PROT]([STR_COMMENT], [R_NUM_T1], [R_NUM_T2])
VALUES('PROT_COMMENT', 1004, 1004)
COMMIT TRAN TRAN_01
After executing the statements I start the following query:
SELECT * FROM [msdb].[dbo].[logmarkhistory]
On MS SQL 2000 I get as results:
PROD TRAN_01 My TRAN_01 SUPPORTAdministrator 3944000000107600001 2006-03-29 17:15:13.930
ACCT TRAN_01 My TRAN_01 SUPPORTAdministrator 8000000009200001 2006-03-29 17:15:13.930
Seems to be correct. I think it is the way it should work according to the documentation.
On MS SQL 2005 I only get the following results:
PROD TRAN_01 My TRAN_01 SU 29000000107800001 2006-03-29 17:31:32.283
There are no entries in the table for the ACCT database and the account / user_name is shown incorrectly.
It seems to be an ERROR in the processing of such marked transactions in MS SQL 2005.
Deletes Causing Tran Log To Fill

Restoring Tran Logs To Standby
Jan 22, 2001I have recently implemented a backup solution that keeps our standby server up-to-date with nightly database backup and restores. Ironed out all the problems with syslogins and orphan users. It's been working very well over the past few weeks.
On the production server we do hourly tran log dumps every hour between 8am and 10pm. I would like to implement some form of "log shipping" to bring the window of vulnerability down to 1 hour. By making some alterations to my current process I been able to incorporate the hourly log dumps in the same process.
However, when I try to restore the log on the standby servre I get the following message,
Server: Msg 4305, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Specified file 'HODB1SQLBACKUPRace_Prd_T_dump.200101231513' is out of sequence. Current time stamp is Jan 23 2001 2:01PM while dump was from Jan 23 2001 3:01PM.
After a bit of investigation I found the dumptrdate field in the sysdatabases table and it was set to Jan 23 2001 14:01. After updating this field to Jan 23 2001 14:01, I ran the load command again but received the same error message.
Is there something else that needs updating on the standby server? Is what I'm trying to do possible in 6.5? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Tran Log Backup Conflicts With Shrinkdatabase?
Apr 2, 2008Hi:
I have maintenance plan on DBABC backup log to .trn job to run every 90 minutes (daily).
in order to keep the log file small, I also set up a job (T-SQL) to run at 4:15 am to backup log ABC with truncate_only, then run dbcc shrinkdatabase (DBABC, 10)
it looks "backup log ABC with truncate_only" has conflicts with the every90 minutes backup transaction log.
Question: could I keep the backup transaction log every90 minutes, but still could shrink the log file. The log file is growing very fast.
Or I have to use differential backup instead of backup tran log?
thanks

Big Tran Logs, "extra" Backup ?
Mar 28, 2002I noticed our log files are getting way too big. I found that a previous
SQL guy had set up the following scheduled job with the TSQL statement:
BACKUP LOG DEV TO DevDailyTranLog with noinit
This runs every 20 minutes.
There's also a Maint Plan to do a Complete backup every night and a
Transaction Backup every hour (could be set to 20 min)
Why do you suppose the BACKUP LOG job exists ? If the maint plan were
set to backup transaction every 20 min, wouldn't the 2 jobs be
duplicating each other ?
Also, I notice that the Tran Logs specified in the database properties
seem awfully big (4 gig), shouldn't they automatically be truncated when
the daily full backup occurs ? (full recovery model)
Feel free to call me and straighten me out or to get more info.

Message Logging Of Backups (full And Tran.)

Is there a way to suppress or re-direct the messages that result from a tran. log dump? We're running a tran. log dump every 15 minutes in prod. and the errorlog is really cumbersome to look at.
(In another RDBMS I worked with all backup messages went to a separate error/message log.)
