hi all, I am using SQL server 2005.The Log file size increased to 40GB,so I detach the DB and delete the log & created new log file.Can I restrict the growth.I mean if the file size become 1000MB,I need to clear the log file.Previously it was Enabled the autogrowth 10% & unrestricted File size,Actually I modified to restricted file size 1000MB.is it work? can I know restricted file size 1000MB what will happen?I mean , is it clear the log after reaching 1000MB?please advice.
Here is what I need to do, maybe someone could tell me what to do. I need to create a login (I got that part) and then limit that login to only be able to see one of the databases on the server. So this is what I'm looking for.
user1 logs in to the server user1 can only see the database I want them to see and can not see anything else, no msdb, no tempdb, no security, no management etc. I also need this user to be read only (only able to run select statements) and this user will not be the owner of the database
I have an MSSQL server where I would like to create a couple of databases, create one user pr. DB, and give them db_owner permissions.
Giving a user db_owner permissions allows the user to make a backup of the database, which is a good thing and I would like it to stay that way.
My problem is that I don't know how to restrict the user from saving the backup to any directory or filename that he wants to. He can not get out of the directories that the user MSSQL is running under has access to. But he can overwrite another users backupfile or placing the file in the MSSQL-programfolder.
The users is using SQL Server authentication.
Can I restrict the backup procedure to save to only one file or in one directory?
What is the best practice regarding backup if you give your users db_owner permissions?
We can restrict users from accessing the databases from the security. But is there anyway , we can restrict users from seeing the available databases on the server, user can access and see the database he or she has access to other databases will not be visible?
I am using MS SQL db for my web application . I wanna know if there is any way to protect /secure database files from copied or used by any un authorised person.
Right now any one can copy the data base files(.data and .log) files from MS SQL's data folder, and can use it any where without any problem. But i would like to restrict any un authorised person to use it. Please let me if there is any way to avoide this.
I have a single database and 5 user which use this database for DDL and DML operations.
The problem we are facing here is, every time a user need to do some work in this database he/she had to ask(manually) to rest of the 4 users whether they are doing some task over the same DB or not. Sometime due to communication gap one user open any transaction which creates a deadlock for another user to execute any query over the same tables in this DBI want to get rid of this problem by making it configurable from SQL Server part so that if any user which is already accessing this DB, so the other user don't get access to it, Â kind of Mutually exclusive behavior.
I want to protect a field in a table...i want to restrict users to update the value in that field...by manually logging into that database...it can be updated only through the application...if any body manually update the field value....it has to be captured in log with old value....is it possible to do this sql server...if any of u says yes 'its possible' then :beer: other wise :eek:

Hi, i use this script that show me the size of each table and do the sum of all the table size.
SELECT X.[name], REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[rows]), 1), '.00', '') AS [rows], REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[reserved]), 1), '.00', '') AS [reserved], REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[data]), 1), '.00', '') AS [data], REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[index_size]), 1), '.00', '') AS [index_size], REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[unused]), 1), '.00', '') AS [unused] FROM (SELECT CAST(object_name(id) AS varchar(50)) AS [name], SUM(CASE WHEN indid < 2 THEN CONVERT(bigint, [rows]) END) AS [rows], SUM(CONVERT(bigint, reserved)) * 8 AS reserved, SUM(CONVERT(bigint, dpages)) * 8 AS data, SUM(CONVERT(bigint, used) - CONVERT(bigint, dpages)) * 8 AS index_size, SUM(CONVERT(bigint, reserved) - CONVERT(bigint, used)) * 8 AS unused FROM sysindexes WITH (NOLOCK) WHERE sysindexes.indid IN (0, 1, 255) AND sysindexes.id > 100 AND object_name(sysindexes.id) <> 'dtproperties' GROUP BY sysindexes.id WITH ROLLUP) AS X ORDER BY X.[name]
the problem is that the sum of all tables is not the same size when i make a full database backup. example of this is when i run this query against my database i see a sum of 111,899 KB that they are 111MB,but when i do full backup to that database the size of this full backup is 1.5GB,why is that and where this size come from?
I am trying to resize a database initial log file from 500M to 2M. I€™m using€?
ALTER DATABASE <DBNAME> MODIFY FILE ( NAME = <DBLOGFILENAME, SIZE = 2 ) "
And I'm getting "MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size." I tried going into the database properties and setting the log file to 2M, but it doesn€™t keep the changes.
Hi, I am using exec sp_helpdb go dbcc sqlperf(logspace) for getting database size and log size. Is this gives the correct database size and log size or Is there any other way to get the logsize and database size by means of query analyzer.
I'm getting this error while trying to insert records into a SQL Server Compact Edition database. I have pasted my connection string that was used when creating the database as well as for accessing that same database from my Windows application.
Thanks for any help any of you can give!
Data Source=OnTheGo.sdf;Encrypt Database=True;Password=<password>;Max Database Size=4091
I am developing a smart device application with Visual Studio .Net 2005 and SQL Server Compact Edition database. And also using merge replication to synchronize the data from the mobile device to the SQL Server.
My database size is around 350MB. So when I am trying to synchronize this is the error message that I get. " The database file is larger than the configured maximum database size. The setting takes effect on the first concurrent database connection only.[Required Max Database size ( in MB; 0 if unknown)=129].
I tried changing the Max database size in the connection string and my connection string looks as follows and still did not have any luck.
hi my database on remote server i cannot access directly. i can access it only with query analyzer. my log file size is 9mb but nothing in database. only few tables there so how i can reduce log file size with query.
We have a SQL server database most time for read only because the data source comes from another database( which is not SQL server database, now it is about 2G). Every day we have a job running as following: Step 0. extra the data from another database, and create plain text files for each table for BCP job. Step 1. drop all of the index Step 2. truncate all of the tables. Step 3. BCP in all of the data from plain text file. Step 4. create all of the index again Step 5. shirnk the database.
Everything runs fine but the database grows 1 G from yesterday's database. I am sure we do not have so much data entry in one day. Any one can give some suggestion? I wonder if I need do shirnk the database or shirnk the data file before create the index. How can know how much size for all of the index file? Thank you very much. Judy

Hi all, We are using sql6.5. srvpack 3. I noticed that one of our database was maxed out, and increased the size of the device and then increased the size of the database. when I checked the database it is still showing the database is maxed out. I did it twice, it still shows that the space has been used. Can anyone please explain to me why this is happening and how to get the actual space measurement. Thanks in advance.
After we ran sp_spaceused on one database, the size for the UNUSED column is a negative number -1324KB. Can someone explain how this could happen? I really appreciate.
I need to check the log size of my database periodically and send a notification if the size exceeds 8 GB. I want to set this up as job that runs every 30 minutes or so and page the DBA if it exceeds the above said limit. Can anyone give me the command which can be used to obtain the logsize into a variable. I am new to SQL and would appreciate your expert advise.
