DB Engine :: How To Find Database Growth Rate
Apr 22, 2015Wanted to do the forecasting of disk growth for one year. How to find the database growth rate?
View 4 Replies View RelatedCalculate Average Growth Rate
Apr 30, 2008I've got a statistics table that I've been writing to for about 2 years now. Every saturday night, a size (in MB) snapshot of each DB file is taken and dumped into this table. I'm then emailed a copy for that week.
Now, I'm trying to figure out what the fastest growers are. Here's the table ddl
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DBSizeStats] (
[statid] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[LogDate] [datetime] NULL ,
[Server] [varchar] (10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[DBName] [varchar] (200) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[MDFName] [varchar] (200) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[MDFSize] [decimal](18, 0) NULL ,
[LDFName] [varchar] (200) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[LDFSize] [decimal](18, 0) NULL ,
[TotalSize] [decimal](18, 0) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
What I'm trying to figure out is how to query the average monthly and yearly growth percentages per DB on the MDFSize column.
I'm usually pretty good at this sort of thing, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around how to solve this issue. I'm not having a very good math day.
what am I missing here?

View 5 Replies View RelatedDatabase Of Employees - Find Highest Pay Rate For One Single Person
Jul 10, 2014I have a database of employees and pay rates.
One employee has two pay rates for two different jobs:
Job A: Rate $10.00
Job B: Rate $15.00
I will be updating their record so that they only have one job going forward, Job C. I need Job C to equal their HIGHER of the two existing jobs.
I have a select statement to find what the higher rate is. However, I am not sure how I can apply the rate to be the new job's rate. Here's what I used to find the highest rate for one single person:
SELECT max(rate), employeeID
FROM JobsTable
inner join IDTable
on JobsID2 = IDID2
WHERE JobCode in ('JOBA','JOBB')
and EmployeeID = '12345'
GROUP BY EmployeeID
(this returns the employee ID from one table, and the highest rate from Jobs A and B from another table)
I can get it to update to add JobC -- how can I get it to assign the result from the above query to be the rate used for Job C?
How To Track Changes In A Database?
Dec 18, 2007Situation:
2 servers: 1 production, 1 test.
While my application is running on the production server, I want to develop on the test server. After a few weeks, I want to update the application, and have to update the database structure on the production server also with the most recent one from the testserver, but without deleting the current data on the production server.
I create/modify all tables in SQL Server 2005 via Management Studio. The application is built in VS2008 Pro. I'm using SubVersion (SVN).
I can let Management Studio generate scripts for every change and store them manualy, but that's a little bit too much work. What I want is a sort off version control solution. A solution that a service running on the background tracks every change on a specific database on my test server, and stores them as T-SQL code in a repository. Then I can collect all those T-SQL scripts, and run them against the production server.
Is there some solution for that?

Sep 20, 2007I am an advanced user of MS Access and other databases but relatively new to SQL Server. I am utilizing SQL Server Express to analyze a database that was created by another entity. I am interested in looking at any specific record in any table and seeing who created that record, what date/time the record was created, who edited the record, when that edit occurred, etc. I don't see any such fields in the database. Would the designer of the database have to have explicitly added such functionality, or is this information available but just hidden from the novice's view?
Thanks for your help.

Sep 17, 2007Hi everyone,
I'm a beginner in SQL Server databases, my problem is this:
i'm making a database witch the frontend is an access project, the database has several stored procedures views and user functions (the normal..), but a few data, (only the experimental), last night i've noticed that the file grow from 22 MB to 89 MB, the objects are the same and also the data, the only diference was that i forgot to put in an event procedure code, the ADO method, "MoveNext", to update various records, and the loop was infinit.
Is it possible that SQL statments generated by ADO make the file grow so rapidly!?
If so how can i shrink it, because i've tried and and the results was 4%.
Can you help me!?

SQL 2012 :: Track All Logins Onto A Single Database?
Oct 17, 2014We have a particular database sat on SQL Server 2012 box along with about 20 other databases.
What I require is a method/Script/Audit that will simply track anyone who logs (successfully / unsuccessful) into this one particular database on the server (The single database is the key as the end user does not want information on any of the other databases that sit on the server), it also has to log time the attempt was made and it must track the logins via SQL Server or the application itself that is attached to the database.
Automatic Database Growth
Aug 21, 2001I've got a question about the automatic database growth feature of V7. Here's an example:
I have a 1gb db that can grow to max size of 2gb.
I set the auto grow option to 75%
The first time the db grows it will grab 75% of the free space (1gb)
What happens if the database needs to grow again?
Will the db grow using the remaining free space (25%) or
has the database reached its max size because it can't grow any further?
Thanks

Suspected Problem: Distribution Database Transaction Log Not Checkpointing
I have a distributor with a distribution database that keeps growing and growing (About 40 GB in 7 days). The database is using the SIMPLE recovery model but the log continues to accumulate data. I have spent time looking at articles such as: "Factors that keep log records alive" (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345414.aspx) and the one thing that stands out is the Checkpoint. I noticed that I can run a manual checkpoint and clear the log. If the log records were still active, the checkpoint would not allow the log to be truncated. This leads me to believe that the server is not properly initiating checkpoints in the Distribution database even though Recovery Model = SIMPLE and the server Recovery Interval = 0.
I found this: "FIX: Automatic checkpoints on some SQL Server 2000 databases do not run as expected" (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909369/en-us) but I suspect this is a followup to a problem that may have been introduced with SP4 (since SP4 is a requirement for the hotfix). I am running SP3a (Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.850) so I don't think that is the issue. I have several other nearly identical servers with the same version and configuration that have properly maintained log files.
SP4 is not a good option for me at this point - the next upgrade will be to SQL 2K5.
Any thoughts?

Large Database Growth Out Of Control
Oct 23, 2007Hopefully I'm posting in the right area. There is a database that has grown to about
41-42 GB in size in about a 2 month period. The previous database had grown to about
22 GB before it was purged out. I'm running this on SQL 2000, and I've tried running all
the DBCC SHINKFILE and SHRINKDATABASE commands to no avail. In this case,
the MDF file is the one that has grown out of control as opposed to the log file (LDF file).
Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be done to control the size?

When I get there, regardless if I choose All files or Bak, I see no files.I tried to upload an image of the "Upload Backup File" dialog, but MSDN would let it happen. When I get to the c:temp folder, no files appear in the window.
Where's My Default Sql Server Database Engine?
Jul 11, 2007I am a novice in DB learning.
A few months ago, I installed the ms sql server 2005, and use it to learn the book SQL Server 2005 for dummies. It worked just fine. But after i finished the book, i uninstalled the program and deleted the express database engine. Perhaps it was an incomplete installation, yesterday when i tried to reinstall the sql server 2005, i found some configuration tools still in the directory. So i used windows to remove those tools. After that, i reinstall the sql server 2005, and changed some values in the register. The reinstallation goes well. But after it was done. I started the management studio, there's no default database engine for me to connect! All I could find in Internet is how to connect to a database engine without information about how to create one. Can anyone tell me why and help me out?
i am a novice.
