Is It Possible For A Table To Increase Size When Deleting Records?
May 24, 2007
No transaction log involved, only the table itself.
Use sp_spaceused "table_name" to check the space used.
It seems the table size actually increased from the beginning to the middle of deletion, at the end of deletion, its size decreased.
Recovery mode set to be simple, autoshrink turned on.
The tables tested are about 50MB ~ several GB in size, all have the same behavior. The size increased about 5%~10%.
Since the deletion is called from another software, I want to know if it is possible for SQL Server to have this behavior or it is absolutely the 3rd party software's issue
Thanks!

Hi,
I was running out of space and thus deleted some rows from a table. To my surprise the db size increased. I then shrunk it to bring it back to what it was earlier.
When i deleted some 5000 rows, some space must have been released. Where did the space go and why did the db size increase after deleting the records?
I thght it might be log files..but db is set to Simple Recovery which does not utilize a Log File.
Any reasons?

I save Table size and recs. no every day. and check it some days.
...
insert into @t
exec sp_msforeachtable 'exec sp_spaceused ''?'''
...
But Today I saw sudden increase size in a table. about 128 MB in a day. (Average Growth fro this table was 4 or 5 MB in a day)This growth was for Only 4222 Records. While for more number of records (about 7000) in yesterday we had only 2 MB GRowth!
This Table information (Now):
sp_spaceused 'Table1'
Result:
name ---Rows --reserved --data
Table1--1021319--460328 KB --283104 KBI Try to gess The reason. I copy These new records to another table.But The result was more strange : on new table the size of these record was : < 1 MB I copied All records to another table . The size was : 148 MB (while this is 283 MB in my real database)

I have a situation where deleting old records is blocking updating latest records on highly transactional table and getting timeout errors from application.
In details, I have one table called Tran_table1 in OLTP database. This Tran_table1 is highly transactional table, it will receive data for insert/update continuously
While archiving 2 years old records from Tran_table1 into Tran_table1_archive in batches(using DELETE OUTPUT INTO clause), if there is any UPDATEs on Tran_table1,these updates are getting blocked and result is timeout errors in application.
Is there any SQL Server hints to avoid blocking ..

We are using SQL Server 2000 Standard ed, sp4 on Server 2000 Advanced.We have one table that is three times as large as the rest of the database.Most of the data is static after approximately 3-6 months, but we arerequired to keep it for 8 years. I would like to archive this table (A), butthere are complications.1. the only way to access the data is through the application (they areimages produced by the application-built on Power-Builder)2. there are multiple tables refrencing this table and vise-versa3. we restore the entire db to two other servers for testing and trainingregularly4. there might be more complications that have not been thought ofCurrently, our only plan is to setup a seperate server with a copy of this dbon it and the application. Leave only the tables necessary to access the data,and if this 'archive' works, remove from production the data from the table Aand all references to the table A from rows on the other tables.I mentioned #3 because someone mentioned a third party tool that may be ableto pull the data from the table, archive it elsewhere, and at the same time,place a 'pointer' in the table to the new storage location. The tool theymentioned only works on Oracle and we have not explored beyond that yet.I am ready to explore ideas and suggestions; I am still new to the DBA world,I am out of ideas.Thank you!--Message posted via SQLMonster.comhttp://www.sqlmonster.com/Uwe/Forum...eneral/200607/1

I have deleted nearly 30 million rows from a table. But however when I used the sp_spaceused command to calculate the data occupied by the table I don't see any difference in the data size of the table. In fact the data has increased to few MBs after the deletion, but not much.

I loaded one table via SSIS and found that it contained many duplicate records (from the input source). I can create a SQL task to delete them, but I wonder if SSIS offers and task "out of the box" to delete dups?

I'm trying to delete some records from some tables in a SQL Server 2008 R2 database. There's a foreign key relationship between the two tables. To make things easier here's the definition of both tables:
-- Parent table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PharmInvInItemPackages](
[InventoryInDetailID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[InventoryInID] [int] NOT NULL,
[ItemPackageID] [int] NOT NULL,
[code]....

I have many large tables with millions of records in a SQL Server database. They all use an Identity column which is the clustered index. We haven't been deleting any records until recently because disk space is now becoming a problem.
Assuming I delete a lot of old records, I'm thinking that the freed up space in the data pages won't be reused. New records will be added at the end of the table because of the Identity column being the clustered index. So the table will keep getting bigger even though there is lots of free space.
Assuming I'm right, then how do I recapture this unused space? Is an alter table rebuild the best way? Or rebuilding the clustered index?

hi,
I have one DB in SQL Server 2005.When I was creating it
takes 7813 MB.Now the databse size almost full.Now I want to extend the
DB Size.At my HDD has more space(near by 160 GB).But I don't know how to
extend the Size.More over I had one doubt.Am executing the
exec sp_helpdb command.It shows the Datafile maxsize is Unlimited.I want to
know when the data is full,whether it automatically takes the size from the
HDD or not.
Please Help me out to this Problem.

Hi all,
I encountered error 1105 (Can`t allocate space for object .....) while running a query.
I had dump transaction with no log sucessfully and retry running my query but
still encounter error 1105.
I had checked my database size and following are the info:
Datasize : 2500MB Database size available : 753.39
Log space : 500MB Log space available : 500MB (this was acheive after
after dump trans. twice. it was around 480MB before)
Thus looks like the data segment is full!!!
I expanded the size of the disk device D on which the segment device A is on by 50MB. When I did a sp_helpdevice D, the expansion is reflected.
Next I run sp_extendsegement, A, D.
However running sp_helpsegment A doesn`t show that segment A is expanded.
Please help!!! How do I expand the size of the segment? (without creating a new disk device, is it possible)
Any other way to resolve this problem?
Also how to check if a particular segment is full? eg. the %usage of data/log segment.
Thanks in advance.

I seem to remember that the font size and type can be controlled in SQL Server 6.5 and the process controlls the fonts displayed
throughout the program - Enterprise Manager, Query Tool, etc.
I have just re-installed 6.5 and the fonts are way too small.
Can anyone tell me how this is done?
Thanks.

Hi,
How can I increase the transaction log size of my sql server 2005 database? i can execute the shrink and backup log which can shrink the .ldf file to 1MB. However, since my dts involves a lot of inserts and updates, the my transaction log grows to 700MB in the middle of my dts execution. How can i increase the transaction log size maximum capacity to probably 1.5GB just so it can accommodate my full dts execution?
BTW, this is my commands to shrink the log file:
DBCC SHRINKFILE(<dbname>_log, 1)
BACKUP LOG <dbname> WITH NO_LOG
DBCC SHRINKFILE(<dbname>_log, 1)

A few months ago a customer moved from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. The db wasbacked up on SQL 2000 and restored to SQL 2005. The application using thisdata works on SQL 2005 but takes no advantage of new features. The db onSQL 2000 was about 2.9GB, now on SQL 2005, it is 16.5GB. The db is set toSimple recovery so trx log is only 2mb. The mdf file is 16.5GB, ManagementStudio shows only 5mb free space. There has not been a huge increase intransactions.One of the largest tables has only added 2,000 rows since the move to SQL2005. Yet the data and index size has jumped from about 400mb to 3.5 GB. Iused the 'BigTables.sql' script found at various SQL sites:www.databasejournal.com/img/BigTables.sqlAny ideas why such a large increase?Thanks
