Hello ,
I want to move my tempdb database to another drive by moving the mdf and ldf files . Is it possible to shift the tempdb once it is created ?
I am shifting the database since there is no space on the current drive and the database might grow in the near furure .
Any ideas ???
Thanks .
Can someone tell me how I can move the temp database. I know it get's recreated on startup so there must be somewhere that it's referencing.. Is it the model database it uses?
Thanks!
Hi All,
I need to move the tempdb onto a different drive. Can you give me the sql statement to do so.

How do I move the location of the tempdb. I wish to place it on a separated
disk to to increase performance.

I want to move my TEMPDB from C:MSSQL7DATA to another (less critical) drive in the event it grows too much/fast. I've reviewed the process from MS using ALTER DATABASE, etc., but wanted some feedback from the real world before I commit. Are there any issues I should be aware of? I know it must reside on a local drive on the server. Do I need to make any other adjustments in SQL after the move? Your help is much appreciated. - Rob

We are supporting an mssql 6.5, sp 4 application. My associate recently
increased tempdb from 3 gb to 15 gb by adding a 12gb device on a second drive.
The original tempdb device was 3 gb on an h drive and the 12gb addition was added to the f drive limiting the disk space for the data dat file to be expanded. So now I would like to move that second tempdb device to a different drive to free up disk space on the f drive.
1) Can I move the second tempdb device?
2) Or should I try to shrink it and then expand it on a differetn drive?
3) Any other suggestions?
Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
THanks.

Hi,
My tempdb size on the hard disk at the moment is 1GB.
We have recently put in an additional 1GB of RAM to add to our existing 1GB RAM on the SQL server m/c, making it 2GB now.
SQL server is configured to use 928MB of memory. So, I put the TEMPDB (1GB) on the spare (1GB) memory in RAM.
The problem is, it doesn't allow me this saying not enough memory available.
I have also set the WORK SET SIZE parm to 1, to reserve memory for SQL. Still, it will not allow me. The maximum value it allows me for TEMPDB in RAM is 384MB, beyond which the server doesn't start.
What could be the reason for not getting enough memory, though the 1GB of RAM was put in additionally just for this.
Please advise.
Thanks

Right now both of these reside on my C:, but templog is over 3 1/2 GB.1) What do I need to do to move both of these to another drive on thesame system?2) Is there an easy way to purge or compact templog, or just set a sizelimit for it?Thanks,Scott

is there a standard procedure or document that explains how to:
Expand tempdb onto a faster drive ... making it larger
then ...
Remove the small portion of tempdb from my c: drive to reduce contention?

does anyone know if tempdb can be physically moved to a different partition on a disk drive on SQL Server 7.0? Since it can't be backed up I'm hesitant to use the sp_detach/sp_attach procedure because I don't want to crash it. If nothing else is available, I can attempt moving it this way at the end of the day and then just reboot to get tempdb back up again if the server fails, but I'd really appreciate a suggestion from someone who has more know-how than I do about system table operations. Thanks again
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am interested to hear if people think it would be a good idea to movethe Master & TempDB to a different HD.Here is my DB Server's set up:1. Processor: (1) AMD XP 28002. 1st HD (IDE 0) is the system & boot drive3. (3) SCSI HD make up a hardware RAID level 0 (striped withoutparity)solution - these striped drives are just for my working DBs4. (1) SCSI HD that's not doing anything.I want to put the Master & TempDB on the SCSI HD that's not doinganything. Would that be the best place for it for maximum performance orshould I put in the striped array. I am leaning more towards putting onthe SCSI HD that's not doing anything.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHave a SQL2008R2 instance on a VM where the single .mdf for the tempDb database is located on a high contention disk. I've managed to get another 60GB disk and thought it would be a good time to move the .mdf and also increase it's size and number of files.
The server has 12 cores and after a bit of reading I've decided that it would be best just to have four files for this database as the 1 file per core (-1) seems to be disputed.
-- Move the existing file to the new disk and rename it.
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME='tempdev', FILENAME='E:SQLData empdb0.mdf');
-- Change the size to 1GB
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME='tempdev', SIZE= 1048576KB, FILEGROWTH=5%);
-- Add three new files, all with the same size & growth
ALTER DATABASE [tempdb] ADD FILE ( NAME = N'tempdev1', FILENAME = N'E:SQLData empdb1.mdf' , SIZE = 1048576KB , FILEGROWTH = 5%)
ALTER DATABASE [tempdb] ADD FILE ( NAME = N'tempdev2', FILENAME = N'E:SQLData empdb2.mdf' , SIZE = 1048576KB , FILEGROWTH = 5%)
ALTER DATABASE [tempdb] ADD FILE ( NAME = N'tempdev3', FILENAME = N'E:SQLData empdb3.mdf' , SIZE = 1048576KB , FILEGROWTH = 5%)
-- Now restart the instance.
Also, what are peoples thoughts on percentage growth for tempDb? I've read that it's not recommend and yet it seems to be the norm.
We are seeing very high Average Disk Queue Length numbers in one of our clusters (both nodes of the cluster are Virtual, but have their own dedicated virtual environments). Our main data drive also houses TempDB, which I would like to move.
Each node in the Active/Passive cluster are running Windows Server 2012 Standard 64bit and SQL Server 2012 Enterprise 64bit. There is a separate drive for Log files and data files.
The data files also have TempDB on them as previously mentioned. I am reading that you can set up a local disk on each node of the cluster, with the same drive letter and path and then move tempdb as you would with a stand alone SQL Server.
Hi,
I need to expand tempdb database. The users keep getting this error
when they try to do a sort:
SQL Server message(1510): state 2
Sort failed. Out of space or locks in database 'tempdb'
Also in the error log I am getting these errors:
Error 1105, Severity: 17, State: 1
Can't allocate space for object '-641' in database 'tempdb'because
the 'system' segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the
transaction log. Otherwise use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to
increase the size of the segment.
What I am wondering is if expanding tempdb will fix the problem, or is
there another fix that I should be looking at.
Any direction you could give me on this would be appreciated. I have very
little experience with SQL 6.5
Thanks in advance
Phil
I have a system configured with Windows 2000 and SQL Server 2000Clustering (active/passive). Both SQL Servers have a local E: drivewith the same directory structure. I would like to move the tempdboff of the shared SAN and on to the E: drive. I don't foresee anyissues with this but wanted to know if anyone else has encounteredproblems with this.

for the first time in my long SQL DBA live I see such a behaviours. My tempdb database is growing every damn second since a this morning. Now it reached 30Gb, the log file is empty (217 Mb).
We use SQL 2000 Ent on Win 2000 Advance Server. Running Siebel Call Center (7.5 ver) with about 300 users.
Some users time to time obtain and hold a huge amount Exclusive locks on the tempdb extents
Where do I look for a leak?
Any ideas?

"Could not allocate new page for database 'TEMPDB'. There are no more pages available in filegroup DEFAULT. Space can be created by dropping objects, adding additional files, or allowing file growth."
I get this error when running a query on another database. But why?
Both data and transaction files on TEMPDB are set to "automatically grow file" and "unrestricted file growth" and there is 70GB of free space on the disk drive. Shouldn't the files just grow? Why would this happen?
I get the following error when doing a variety of basic queries on other databases:
"Could not allocate new page for database 'TEMPDB'. There are no more pages available in filegroup DEFAULT. Space can be created by dropping objects, adding additional files, or allowing file growth."
This doesn't make any sense since they are set to auto grow and there is plenty of disk space to do so.
Both data and transaction files of tempdb are set to:
"Automatically grow file" is checked
"Maximum file size" is set to "Unrestricted file growth"
Growth rate of 10%
Both tempdb data file and transaction file are on D: but all drives have ample space:
c:25 GB free
D:69 GB free
E:175 GB free

I always get this message, when i want to run a stonger query or a transaction that takes a longer time:
"The transaction log for database 'tempdb' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases"
I checked the log_reuse_wait_desc column: LOG_BACKUP
I ran tr log backup...nothing...
I tried to set to simple reco mode the db...this helped... temporaly...i got again below message.
( i wouldn't like to set to simple mode the db because the size of db is 160GB now....so i don't want to eun a fullbackup)
TempDB size is 50MB now and it can grow until 7GB.
The trqansaction log size is 14GB and there are 50GB free space, so it can grow.
This symptom occurs since i installed SP2 and the CP Rev.4.0
What is the real problem ?
Hello, I have an issue with a process that blows up because of the following error.
Executed as user: batchloader. Updated 0 existing Company records [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) Inserted 0 new Company records [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) Inserted 0 new EntityIdXref records [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) Updated 977 existing CompanyCustomerAttr records [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) Inserted 0 new CompanyCustomerAttr records [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) Could not allocate new page for database 'TEMPDB'.

Ok I am going to be typeing some really bad practices(I just started here 3 weeks ago.)
There is 23.6 gig free on my log drive. The disk is not running out of space and there are no disk errors in event viewer. The process in question calles 2 procs. These 2 proces load files from the filesystem and bulk load them into #temp tables. Then select's from these tables are issued using criteria from a static table. There are around 700000 rows being inserted into the #temp tables and no indexes are being created so very large table scans going on. Also there are some cursors being called to row by row minipulate the records and in the cursor it calles fucntions using cursors. There are thousands of files being processes everyday by several different jobs. All of the processes are written the same way. We have the tempdb set to auto grow by 10 % and the initial size is 3.5 gig. There are 3 to 4000 tables in the database and 90 % of them are being created on the fly to be used by this process and yes once again there are no indexes created on the on the fly tables. We have only one Filegroup on the server default.
I believe that takeing some of the objects and moving them to there own filegroup will help this issue. Every month we take on up to 800000 new records to process on top of what we allready do. So we use cursors cursors cursors temp objects with no indexes and massive recordsets and doing sorts on massive records sets. I am working with development to show them how and where to index but this will take time. I need a quick solution. Any thoughts any questions? The box has 4 gig of ram.
Has anyone seen the SQL Server error:
"tempdb is skipped. You cannot run a query that requires tempdb"?
We're running a .Net web application with a SQL Server 2000 backend, and we get the error intermittently. Restarting the SQL Server service seems to fix it, as it causes tempdb to be rebuilt, but this isn't a long term solution. Any direction or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi the BUG (in application or in the SQL) appeared again. The tempdb database has gown up since a lunch time today, from 60mb to 43 Gb and it's keep growing.
sp_spaceused reports the following:
database_name database_size unallocated space
---------------------------------- ------------------ ------------------
tempdb 47001.94 MB 46786.60 MB
another words the DB is empty!!!!! BUT IT"S NOT!!! The data size isn't being seen by the SP yet, while the damn process is still running....
There are no connections to the tempdb and there are some locks on the DB from users, but nothing looks suspicious.
Is there a way to trace of what data and from where is writing into tempdb database?????

Is it possible to encrypt Master database and tempdb? On executing below query result is showing temdb is encrypted.
SELECT db_name(database_id), encryption_state, percent_complete, key_algorithm, key_length
FROM sys.dm_database_encryption_keys
While trying to move the tempdb log file to a different disk, I mistakenly executed the following and then stopped and restarted SQL Server.
USE master
GO
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE
(NAME = tempdev, FILENAME = 'L:MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLData emplog.ldf')
GO
Now I can't start SQL Server and see this error in the log files:
[code]
2015-08-10 15:28:42.55 spid7s Error: 5171, Severity: 16, State: 1.

2015-08-10 15:28:42.55 spid7s CREATE DATABASE failed.
Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors.
[code]
I did not have remote connections enabled yet, so the resolutions I have found that include sqlcmd or starting in single user configuration are not working. Any way that might allow me to restore the usual tempdb settings, which I think would allow SQL to start again?
I really needed to move the tempdb file to another hard drive, so I used this bit of code.
USE master
go
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = tempdev, FILENAME = 'E: empdb.mdf')
go
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE (NAME = templog, FILENAME = 'E: emplog.ldf')
go
Now sql server manager won't even start. The log files says
"tempdb.mdf is not a privary database file. CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created.
WARNING: problem activiating all tempdb files. See previous errors."
Any ideas on how to make this program work again, without reinstalling it?
I'm currently running the command below and getting this error message. I am getting it every few seconds for a couple hours now. Seems to have started when I started this SPROC below. I'm just over 2 hours into running.
Not sure what this means yet, any help is much appreciated. Desperately trying to resolve this urgent matter!
thanks once again!
