How To Force Space Allocation To A SS2000 DB?
Sep 17, 2007
I have to force a space allocation to a DB file in order to stop a Diagnostic Manager alert which states that the database is over 80% full. Now, I don't think this alert is rational, nor do I think it is useful in any way but that's the way it goes. My only option is to allocate more space to the DB so that the space used will fall below 80% so the alert will stop being issued.
So, can you tell me how to force a space allocation on an existing db file?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi,
I need to create a 5GB database with 4GB for data and 1GB for log in v7.0. I know that in v6.5 I would have created five 1GB devices - to go easy on the backups.
Could someone please advise on how I should distibute allocation of space.
Should I allocate 1GB to the primary files and 1GB each to 3 secondary files?
Should I just allocate 4GB to primary?
I would really really appreciate any reponse? If there are articles I would appreciate links.
Thanks

I have a small data warehouse which periodically has old data deleted.
However after a delete the free space within the database is not released. If I copy the tables, drop them, recreate, and copy back, the space is there.
Any ideas what is causing this anyone ?
Thanks

Hi,
can some one throw some light on how the DBAs calucaulate the space allocations?
For example I have 30000 records which has 30 columns each defined as varchar(100) and if the db is full and wants to increase the space. Then how much extrac space should be allocated??

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

Hey all, first time poster here.
Cheers!
Enterprise Edition SQL2k sp3a on Win2k3 Enterprise Edition server.
Using BCP to load ~4 million records.
Largest record width is ~350 bytes.
When finished i have over 6 million pages reserved and only about 800 thousand actually used.
Which puts me 'round about 3 rows per page and WAY too much empty space.
YIKES!
Any thoughts as to why this is happening?
Or insight into how BCP handles page allocations that may be different than the typical extent based page allocations for table data?
Thanks!

I was trying to find out how much space is available in a 2000 db for allocation to tables and indexes. I am trying to find the amount of space that has to be used-up before another allocation is automatically made to the database. I looked at sp_spaceused but BOL is rather sketchy at defining what the numbers it returns really mean. Is the "unallocated space" the value I am looking for?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi
I am using DTS to transfer tables from Oracle 9i to SQL Server 2000 sitting in a shared environment and managed to migrate
a lot of tables without glitch..
When I was migration a table <XYZ> from Oracle to SQL Server..The table was created in the SQL Server whilst the DTS threw an error that read when it was copying data and 0 rows were copied with the error message being
"Cannot create a row of size 8387 which is greater than the allowed maximum of 8060"
Incidentally the have a table in the Oracle DB that has 152 Rows of Data with 94 Columns..
Does any change needs do be done on the Admin side of the SQL Server to resolve this problem and faciliate effective transfer of data from the DB's?
Thanks in Advance

I have a quick question maybe someone can answer me:
Suppose I have a database with data and log on same device, by default,
3 segments are created: system,default and logsegment.
Is the allocation , or any limit, among these segments(i.e. for system table, other table and indexes , log) done by the system ? or will the space required be allocated when they are needed ?
(i.e. I can have a situation of 10% database space used for data, 90% used for logging and I can also have 90% used for data, 10% used for log ?)
Is there any control us we can make ?
Of course, for recovery and performance reason, it is always recommended to have data and log on 2 diff. device.

I've faced with this problem in my DB:
There are some tables that suffer inserts and deletes daily. These tables have 3 nonclustered indexes including the pk.
I perceived that the space used for these tables are growing day after day even ocurring daily deletes.
These inserts and deletes follow the keys of the pk in ascent order.
I ran DBCC SHOWCONTIG on the tables and got results like this:
- Avg. Bytes Free per Page.....................: 7996.3
When I transform the pk to clustered this problem doesn't happen.
You realized the consequence of this: the users complains because the DB is without space, but it's not true!
Anybody could help me to understand why the extents are not being deallocated?
Thank's for help!

Hi all,
I have a simple query which returns all the names of products attached to a particular order.
select a.orderid, b.product_name
from orders a, order_items b
where a.orderid = b.orderidSay it returns this data: (sorry about the formatting!)
orderid product_name
===== =========
001234 Sweater (Black)
001234 Trousers (Large)
001234 T-Shirt (Pink)
What I want to do is, instead of getting 3 rows back, I want to roll up all matching values (of product_name) from the order_items table into a simple string seperated by a comma. So, for the data above I would get a single row with the orderid and a string containing something like this: "Sweater (Black), Trousers (Large), T-Shirt (pink)".
I'm sure there's an easy way to do this in SQL Server 2000 but I've not been able to work out how to do this and I couldn't see anytihng in SQL Books Online..
TIA for any help...
Mike

Today an instance periodically becomes unable to accept connections. The service will respond to a service-shutdown and when restarted will accept connections for a minute or two but then refuses to accept connections or service active connections. We have gone through several cycles of this.
The log contains rows of :
2007-12-03 13:16:33.46 spid2 Process ID 55:0 owns resources that are blocking processes on Scheduler 7.
2007-12-03 13:16:38.47 spid2 Process ID 55:0 owns resources that are blocking processes on Scheduler 7.
2007-12-03 13:16:43.49 spid2 Process ID 55:0 owns resources that are blocking processes on Scheduler 7.
Any comments??

I have MS SQL Server 2005 Developer Ed. and try to make a database diagram of remote MS SQL Server2000 database in MS SQL Server Management Studio.
I receive an error "Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects."

Dear Listers,
Has anyone experienced performance degradation after converting / uprading from SS7 -> SS2000 ? .... wrt executing a reporting stored proc. that creates dynamic sql and makes extensive use of temporary tables.
If so, what measures were taken to progress towards a final resolution ?
Our scenario:
SS7 code was executed in isolation. ie. it was the only instance running on the box. When the SS7 job had completed, the SS7 instance was shutdown and the SS2000 instance was started .... then the SS2000 code was executed
- Identical h/ware (The SS7 and SS2000 were installed on the same box)
- Identical schema, indexes, triggers, views
- db files on identical RAID5 array
- Stats updated
- Tables reindexed
- data & procedure caches purged
Note that the temporary table(s) were NOT indexed.
TIA
John

We have several servers, each with many jobs. Some jobs run as Owner "SA", and some jobs running as various domain admin accounts. We have been told to modify all jobs to run with Owner "SA". Now, some of the jobs read or write flat files and I am a little concerned about this. Does the domain account which starts the SS2000 services determine the rights to read and write files? If so, I guess changing all jobs owners to "SA" has no real risk?
Thanks!

Hi,
We are implementing push transaction replication from Production SQL Server 2000 database to SQL Server 2005 reporting server and SQL Server 2000 Test server.
SQL Server 2000 PROD to 2000 Test is simple but from SS2000 to SS2005 I have following questions:
Is it feasible to create push subscription from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 database?
When I am trying to setup publisher/subscription properties, It only give me options to pick SQL Server 7.0 or 2000 or heterogeneous databases.
When I am trying to register SQL Server 2005 database in EM of SS2000 it don't allow me to add it and through exception that I need to use Management studio, Is there any alternate way to register?
Thanks

My co-worker, no idiot, says that the tooltip in the system tray forthe SS2000 icon usually shows the computer and server, but once in awhile shows the password (two slashes and the password).Is this a known bug of some sort? It really shouldn't be showing hispassword. It's likely the developer edition, but still, that isn'tgood.

In SS 2000 I want to create a sproc that returns the correct address block for a contact. I want to concatenate AddressLine1 and AddressLine2 if AddressLine2 has a value. When I run the following query I get an error (below):
SELECT vwICPContacts.PersonID, vwPersons.PreferredAddress, vwPersons.Email1,vwPersons.email2, vwPersons.email3,
CASE
WHEN vwPersons.preferredAddress='Home Address' then
case
when (isnull([vwpersons].[HomeAddressLine2],'') = '') then [vwPersons].[HomeAddressLine1]
when (isnull([vwpersons].[HomeAddressLine2],'') <> '') then [vwPersons].[HomeAddressLine1] + Char(13) & Char(10) & [vwPersons].[HomeAddressLine2]
END
ELSE
case
when (isnull([vwpersons].[AddressLine2],'') = '') then [vwPersons].[AddressLine1]
when (isnull([vwpersons].[AddressLine2],'') <> '') then [vwPersons].[AddressLine1] + Char(13) & Char(10) & [vwPersons].[AddressLine2]
END
END
AS MailingAddress
FROM (vwPersons INNER JOIN vwICPContacts ON vwPersons.ID = vwICPContacts.PersonID) LEFT JOIN vwCompanies ON vwPersons.CompanyID = vwCompanies.ID
Error Message:

Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals boolean AND, type equals nvarchar.
I've done this before but am completely stumped. Any ideas?

Hello all;
I am trying to form a replication system but at the very beginning i couldn't pass an obstacle.
While trying to create the Replication it says i have to change the user which starts the SQL Agent because the current starter user account is a system account and this will make the replication between servers fail.
"SQL Server Agent on OZN currently uses the system account, which causes the replication between the servers fail. In the following dialog box, specify another account for the service startup account."
I change it in the properties dialog box of the SQL Server Agent. The new account is the one I formed and granted accordingly. But it gives the following error when I try to apply the changes.
" Error 22042: xp_SetSQLSecurity() returned error -2147023564, 'No mapping between account names and security IDs was done' "
I tried many things, searched in the net, changed the owner of the database, applied new accounts, many grants, applied service pack 4, etc...
If anyone helps it will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance...

I have no idea where to post this kind of question, so here it is!
I have a requirement to retrieve oracle 10 data into SS2000 in as near real-time as possible (stupid users!) and join with resident SS data for on-demand reporting. (We use SS replication to populate some reporting tables from other SS2000 instances and this has spoiled the users as well as the developers! )
I would like to know if there are any clever ways of doing this, or if a plain-old DTS package running in some kind of loop is the practical answer. 1 minute delay is probably too long . . . I don't know if data can be pushed from the oracle side. Or if we need to write a Service and use it to suck and push.
Any suggestions?
thanks!

I 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.

Hi.. 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?

I was wondering, is there a way to allocate processors to SQL2000. I have a server that has 4 processors, I would like to leave one just for the operating system and have SQL2000 use the other 3. Is this possible and do you think it would be recomended to do this? Or should i just leave the 4 processors for everything?
thanks in advance
