SQL Server 2008 :: Size Limitation For XML Data Type?

Oct 7, 2015

I've never worked with the XML data type in SQL Server, although I know its been there for a few iterations of SQL SErver. Now I've got a situation in which it might store some configuration data as XML, since that's the way it comes. (We had thought about storing the data in a VARCHAR(MAX) field.)

The first question is does the XML data type have a size limitation? For example do you do something like:

ConfigFile XML(1000) NULL

Or is it just something like this:

ConfigFile XML NULL

The second question is persisting the data to a file. As the name I choose for the variable suggests, we want to save the data from a configuration file into a SQL Server database. How do we go about doing that? We'll be developing a C# application, it will read and write the data both from the SQL table and the user's local HD.

SQL Server 2008 :: Data Type And Size Of Each Row

Feb 27, 2015

In my database there is a big table and format is something like this:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTable](
[aaa] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[bbb] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[ccc] [nvarchar](max) NULL,
[ddd] [nvarchar](100) NULL,.......etc.........

There are some more columns with more 'nvarchar' (max) and other INT data types. Anyway, I know a page is 8K size. How do I find out how much space does A ROW takes with above datatypes? If users add 5000 Rows per day, how do I figure out how much size the table will increase?

SQL Server 2008 :: Data Type Of Calculated Fields

Aug 10, 2015

I'm using the SQL below to work out recruitment figures. The query works well, but I now need to build this query into a DotNet application as a webpage. I therefore need to declare and manipulate the values such as 'Total', 'Jan' to 'Dec' and 'YearRecruited' in order to write these values into my chosen data control. I therefore need to know the datatypes of these calculated values.

Total I think is straightforward as DNAScreeningID is an int datatype. But what about the others?

SELECT YEAR(SamplingDate) AS YearRecruited,

COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 1 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Jan',
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 2 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Feb',
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 3 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Mar',
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 4 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Apr',

[Code] ....

SQL Server 2008 :: Allow Null On Data Type Money?

Oct 15, 2015

Should data type money allow nulls? Are there valid arguments both pro and con?

Yes, there is the age-old question regarding how one might interpret a NULL found in any column - does it mean the amount is not known or that the amount is zero (in the case of a numeric type)? You get the drift...

Other than that, though - are there any practical considerations an old data hound ought to be aware of?

Is there only a certain version where that screen shows up?

I am trying to import data from an MS Access application to SQL Server and all of the connections are good, but some of the data isn't and if I let it migrate using this tool it crashes on the bad data and there is no data that migrates. The Review Data Type Mapping screen will allow me to bypass the records in error and load the rest. however, I can;t do that if I cannot see the screen.

7.0 Standard Desktop Database Size Limitation?

Nov 5, 1999

I am running 7.0 standard desktop on Workstation 4.0 and have run into a database size limitation of 10GB. I have all the newest

has a limitation of 4GB while the guides say that the Small Business Server edition would have a 10GB limitation. All other forms
of documentation say that there should be the standard mega-terabyte limit. I'm completely confused by this [lack of] documentation.

The Size Of The Image Data Type

Jul 20, 2005

I'm using ODBC to interface a Microsoft SQL Server 2000. One of theoperations involves placing files within BLOBs. I'm using the imagedata type for this purpose. Most of the time this works okey, but whentrying to add a 21,3 MB file I get an error. The error code is 22001,which means "String right-truncation". But why? Does this mean thatthe field cannot accepts BLOBs with this size?

VLDB Data Type Changes... Same Size

Jul 20, 2007

I've got a few VLDB's that we want to make smaller. Since the tables are running on legacy stuff, all of it's basically made with int's and char's and it's horriably inefficant.



The problem that I came across is when I made a new table with the best data types and copied the data from the old table, the table size was the exact size (excluding the index size). It was estimated that a total of ~20 GB would be saved with this change. As it turned out, 0 bytes of data were saved with the data types chagnes.



Why are the two tables the same, even though one has much more efficant data types?



If you want more information about the table I'm using:

391 columns.
50,147,035 rows.
65,295.625 MB in size.

DB Engine :: 2008 R2 - Shrink Data File Size?

Nov 9, 2015

I have a sharepoint content database in sql 2008 R2 (WSS_Content) that is at 230Gb size, but has 40% of it is empty space.  This is because we have removed a large amount of old content from sharepoint.  The log file is fine.  I have 60GB left in my drive that host the database files.  I would like to shrink the datafile to get disk space back.  I found that under the files property, the WSS_Content data file's initial size is 228702 MB (220 Gb or so).  

When i try to do a shrink file (data file) from management studio, i see the 60 GB of drive space keep dropping.  So i have to kill the process. what i should do to reduce this data file.

why it keep using up all the free space in the drive when i try to shrink the data file?

SQL Server 2008 :: Table Size After Reindex

Feb 22, 2015

I'm trying to understand what is happening to one large table.

In a DB SQL 2008R2, I'm trying to track a rapidly increasing DB size. It's due to one table recently added.

Despite the table's no rows increasing its size reduces after a scheduled re-index.

I've recorded the space used by this table by recording EXEC sp_spaceused 'tableName'

---
NoRows reserved data index_size unused
128864512300384 KB 2290928 KB9432 KB24 KB AFTER reindex
128864515406232 KB 5366184 KB39280 KB768 KBBEFORE reindex

N.B. The only thing I'm aware of happening in the time period is a reindex as part of scheduled task. I could be missing something else happening.

The table has only one Index the PK which is clustered, No Fill factor is specified. The Server Default fill factor =0.

I read fillfactor=0=100 Will always try and fill the pages so space used will be minimised?

After running the reindex the index fragmentation is v.low. I've not recorded the fragmentation before reindex.

I can see the Data is not added in Clustered index order.
