How To Find Free Disk Space Available From SQL Query
Hi all,
I have to find free disc space in a drive from SQL Query and i am using MSSQL200. Does any body know the command for the same.

Also if i want to find hard disk space of a different machine on network, it is possible to get the data??

Also can i get the CPU/Memory usage data of our machine by some SQL/C++ commands??

Please let me know if u know any of the answer...

thanks

Moving Tempdb To Free Up Disk Space
does anyone know if tempdb can be physically moved to a different partition on a disk drive on SQL Server 7.0? Since it can't be backed up I'm hesitant to use the sp_detach/sp_attach procedure because I don't want to crash it. If nothing else is available, I can attempt moving it this way at the end of the day and then just reboot to get tempdb back up again if the server fails, but I'd really appreciate a suggestion from someone who has more know-how than I do about system table operations. Thanks again

Transaction Log Full But There Is Still Disk Space Free
Were running Sql Server 7 and the database is set to truncate log on checkpoint. I recently got an error 9002 that the Transaction Log is full, I check the log thru Enterprise Manager and there was still space available. Checked the disk space still had 5gig available. The transaction log is set to autogrow by 10% and unrestricted file growth. I made sure I had a current complete backup and then did a backup log with truncate_only. The users tried the application again and still got the same message. I've checked technet and couldn't find any bugs or articles. Can you help?



Also, do you know a good DBA Handbook for SQL Server? I've read the Database Professional Library SQL Server 2000 The Beginner's Guide and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 DBA Survival Guide. But both books seem to tell more theory and are long winded. I'm used to working on Oracle and having some good O'reilly or Oracle press books that get right to the point on how to admin a database and gives you some cool scripts.

Checking For Free Disk Space And Getting Mail , When Falls Below A Certain Limit
Hello

I have a script which checks the disk space and when it falls a certain size , it mails the dba mail box.

I would like to know how I can change it , as a percentage calculation.

For example when the free space is less than 20% of the total space on the drive I should be receiving a mail.

The script I have is :

declare @MB_Free int

create table #FreeSpace(
Drive char(1),
MB_Free int)

insert into #FreeSpace exec xp_fixeddrives
-- Free Space on F drive Less than Threshold
if @MB_Free < 4096
exec master.dbo.xp_sendmail
@recipients ='dvaddi@domain.edu',
@subject ='SERVER X - Fresh Space Issue on D Drive',
@message = 'Free space on D Drive
has dropped below 2 gig'
drop table #freespace

Insufficient Disk Space Error When There Is Plenty Of Space SQL Server 6.5
We are receiving insufficient disk space errors on NT 4.0 with SQL Server 6.5 installed. This happens when a script is run that creates an html file from some data in the database and tries to save the file on another computer across a WAN link. There is plenty of disk space available on all volumes of the server and the max database size is not met. We did however reach the max size some time ago but have since increased it. Please, if anyone out there can help, I will be forever in your debt!

Should The Quorum Disk Be A Physical Disk Or Majority Node Set?
Hello,

   I am trying to setup a test cluster and am having an issue. When I try to create the resource of a physical disk it takes both the drive e: and drive q: and doesn't seperate them into two physical disks as resources. This means when I try to associate the quorum disk it links the to physcial disk resource of drive e and q. Then when I try to install SQL2k5 I get the warning about installing SQL on the quorum disk. Am I missing something? Is there a way to seperate e and q onto two physical disk resources so I can specifically associate the quorum to q and the sql to e or should I be setting the quorum disk to a majority node set? Thanks in advance.

Obtaining Disk Space
Hi,
I'm new to these forums (and to SQL Server), so please be gentle with me.

I am developing a process to obtain information on all our remote servers/databases, and store it in a single local database.
I'm after things like db size, last backup date, free drive space etc...the usual weekly statistics.

I've linked the remote servers to my local one, and have written a few simple procedures (which exist on the local server) to grab backup and file size information from the remote tables. The output is stored locally in tables which we can then query as necessary.

I am having difficulty obtaining the free drive space details.
I'm using :-
'exec <remote_server>.master.dbo.xp_fixeddrives' to get the info, but I cannot store the output in a table on the local server. (remote_server_name, date, drive_letter, space_mb)

I wish to avoid creating any objects on the remote servers if at all possible.
I really want to pass the remote server name into the procedure, and the output to be inserted into the table.

Many thanks

Right now this is about 355 MB free so that should be plenty to save a package. But its still coming back with the same error insufficient disk space to complete operation.

Disk Space Investigation
All,

I think i know the answer to this one already, but would like to check before going back to my management.

Background. In the past 2 weeks, a number of our databases have shot up in size, and are now at 100% utilisation of allocated disk space. My management have asked me to look into what is causing these to fill up so quickly.

Unfortunatly there were no snap shots or information relating to the databases / tables so i can not determine which tables have grown and are causing the problems.

I have also looked through the sql logs and the event viewer logs to see if there is anything out of the ordinary, but again apart from log / database backups there is nothing of note in there.

I am going to be implementing a solution that I got off another thread which will give me some database / table history to help me in the future, but for now is there anything else i can do? or is it a case of me getting back to the application guys and getting them to reduce data (as there is no more disk space to give them).

Any thoughts or advice you can give me would be greatfully received.

Running Out Of Disk Space With Replication
We've got an internal database that replicates with another database server for our website.

Not all tables are replicated, some use merge and the others are snapshot based and published regularly to the public website facing server.

However, there's a lot of data (well, large textual data) that's being transferred and it seems to be generating massive log files that continue to grow and grow.

I'm fairly new to adminning an SQL Server box, so was wondering if anyone can tell me what the best way to keep it under control is? I've heard its possible to truncate the logs, effectively deleting any data that has already been processed by subscribing servers etc.?

As I said, I'm very much new to this and would really appreciate some guidance, if only to the right part of the SQL Server Books Online :)

Accessing Hard Disk Space.............
For our application we are using VB and VC as frontend and MSSql as backend. Nearly 4 applications are using the database simultaneously. If we run the four applications simultaneously for 10 to 12 hrs, then MSSql Server starts accessing the hard disk space much. After Killing all the applications also it is not stopping the harddisk accessing.

This problem is because of MSSql Server or Applications?

Disk Space And Apparent Locking
We are experiencing an intermittent locking or hanging problem on our SQL Server (at the application level on the clients) and it has gotten worse very recently.

I haven't seen any processes that appear to be locked yet but I noticed that we don't have a lot of space available (the database is 1.4 gigs and we have about 245 megs available).

If this is inadequate disk space, could that be causing an apparent locking problem?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Database File And Disk Space
Hi All,

One of the drives that stores the database file is close to running out of space. The chance of me getting more space added to this drive any time soon are really low. What are other options I have?

Thanks.

How To Specify Disk Space Allocation For Databases ?
Hello ,

I wanted to know on what basis the disk space allocation for the databases is planned . Suppose if we plan 60 GB for data files ( mdf )for a given database then what should be the space allocation for the log files ( ldf ) and the tempdb ( both mdf and ldf files ).

Is there any thumb rule or any defined ratio for the same ?

Thanks

Web Sync Snapshots Eat Up Disk Space
Hi

Heads up on TEMP files

I've been running web Synchronisation for over a month.  Just today some subscribers received a message warning of an "OS Error" could not retrieve file "dynsnapshotvalidation.tok".  Sometimes they also got an error regarding low or no virtual memory. After much investigation it seems that the Web Server hosting the web sync IIS had literally no space left on the system c: drive.  It also turns out that the \WindowsTEMP folder contained over 9GB of snapshot files.

It seems that when the Web server collects snapshot files from Data Server to deliver to the subscriber it creates a Temp copy on it's own local system. Unfortunately this temp data is not cleaned up and over time has jammed up the system and caused this failure.

Is there an answer to this or does it involve manually checking the server from time to time to clean-up the TEMP folder?

Has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks
Rab
