Mdf And Ldf File Size Not Increasing
Jun 18, 2008Hello, relatively new to SQL Server.
I have a database with 1 .mdf data file and 1 .ldf t-log file. There are multiple inserts/deletes/transactions performed on the data daily, but the size of the two files remains constant (5,774,,336 and 153,480 respectively)??? I perform daily full backups and hourly T-log backups (during business hours of 9-6) and these backup files change size, but why aren't my physical DB files changing? I have them set to auto-grow at 10% unrestricted...
Thanks for your help/advice

Transaction Logs Size Not Increasing
Jul 20, 2005Just wondering if you could help me on this one. I'm not sure if mytransaction logs are behaving oddly or what. I've successfuly managedto shrink my transaction logs from 7GB down to 1MB and now I find itstrange that the log file doesn't seem to increase its size. Thetimestamp of the logfile is updating as well. But the size of the fileis constant. I haven't configured my database to do auto-shrink so Imreally confused why it hasn't changed its size for more than a monthnow.Hope I'm not losing any data here.Kindly advise.

SQL 2012 :: Datetime To Date Datatype Increasing Index Size?
Mar 6, 2014I have a database which is centered around two date tables (approx. 5.5 million records each). We are finally making the big leap from SQL Server 2005 to 2012. The data is currently stored as datetime, and we are hoping to take advantage of the new date datatype, since the time component is not needed.
The first table has 13 different date columns. In testing on the 2012 server I have changed 3 columns so far, and have seen that changing the datatype to date is actually increasing the Index size and not affecting the data size. Only 3 of the columns are associated with indexes, and modifying a non-indexed column still increased the index size. I am running the Disk Usage by Table report to view the sizes.
Facing Problem In Increasing Connection String Pool Size Sqlserver
Mar 4, 2005Hi to all,
I am using a connection string like
data source=RemoteHostName;initial catalog=myDb;password=sa;user id=sa;
Max pool size = 200;
And now strange thing is happening ,, I am receiving error :
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection
from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in
use and max pool size was reached
The SqlServer Activity Manager is telling that only 100 connections are pooled, and I guess that the Max pool size is 100, It is not being changed by my Connection string. As I am trying to change the default 100 pool size value to 200.
Huh , So stucked up , how to increase the Max pool size.. Is there any way .
I am getting worrried.
Any help ??
Thx and Regards

Change Column Size
Jul 1, 2006Hi
I am using one Publisher with many subscribers for Merge replication of a database.
I wanted to change size one column in a table. So I added a dummy column (through Filter column).
Copied data, dropped old column (through Filter column), added new column, copied data, and dropped dummy column.
On subscriber A, replication is OK. On subscriber B, I get the following message.
--------------------
Initializing
Connecting to Publisher 'REPLIC'
Retrieving publication information
Retrieving subscription information
A column was added to or dropped from the replicated table.
The schema script 'exec sp_repladdcolumn '[dbo].[Items]','C1',[NVARCHAR(1000) NULL], '%', 1' could not be propagated to the subscriber.
The schema script 'exec sp_repladdcolumn '[dbo].[Items]','C1',[NVARCHAR(1000) NULL], '%', 1' could not be propagated to the subscriber.
A column was added to or dropped from the replicated table.
--------------------
I made a new snapshot, reintialized subscription with upload, and tried to sychronize again.
But same message.
Question 1. Is there anyway to make replication?
Question 2. If not, can I at least upload data changes before dropping and making new publication?

Mar 2, 2004I'm new to mssql.
I need to change the size of a column of a table from char(255) to char(500). I used the line:
alter table table_name alter column column_name char(500)
When I run that command, I get a message that it was sucessful. However, when I try to enter data into the changed column, the number of characters I can enter is still 255. I check the information schema for the column and the 'character_maximum_length' field is 500.
What is the problem here? Is the maximum allowable length for char 255? How can I get a column to have 500 characters?

SQL 2012 :: Varchar - Changing Text Column Size
Aug 7, 2015Impact on performance of changing Text column size.
However, many of them were regarding older releases of SQL Server.
Does the architecture in 2012, 2014 releases make this less of an issue ?
In other words, why bother going from Varchar(1000) to Varchar(50) ?
I'm just thinking maybe there is column compression automatically now.
Reducing Database Size After Dropping Text Column

After searching usenet, Idiscovered that SQL Server 7 has no way of reclaiming that space, butthat there is some command that can be run in SQL Server 2000 thatwill reclaim it.I have since migrated this database to SQL Server 2000, and am nowtrying to figure out what that command is, but cannot locate anyusenet posts about it... also tried searching books online, but can'tfind anything that way either.Does anyone know what I should run?Thanks,Tom

View 5 Replies View RelatedDynamic Change Of The Column Size And Location Of A Matrix
Feb 24, 2007I have a report that has a matrix. That matrix can have from 2 to 16 columns dependinging on the dataset result. Right now I am forced to place this matrix on the left side of the report and make a column layout pretty narrow. When dataset has more than 13 or so columns it looks OK, but when dataset has only two or three columns it looks weird with a matrix sitting in the left corner with two or three narrow columns and a lot of empty space to the right.
Is it possible programmatically change the width of the columns depending on their number in the dataset?
Is it possible to move the location of the matrix (horizontally) depending on the number of columns in the dataset?
Thank you,
Simon.
