I have a tempdb that was created at 1Gig. I don't know why but I want to shrink it below the original creation size. Is there a way to shrink this file or create a new file and delete the old?
I have tried shinkfile and shrink database with no luck.
Thanks Jeff
I have one db test with one .mdf and .ldf file...mdf file size is 100mb and for some reson i removed all the tablesfrom that .mdf file and transfer it into new secondary file so all thetables moved into secondary file now i want to reduce the first .mdffile from 100 mb to 50mb is that possible,it's showing 90mb is free.Please reply

For example, cardnumber varchar(20) Encrypted by Triple_DES and PassPhrase, How match size does need to encrypted data store field.
I think the size does not depend to PassPhrase char length.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was able to find a few posts on this topic, but none of them quiteseemed to fit the situation, so I'm hoping that someone else might beable to help me here.I have a client who is using SQL 2005 (sorry, don't have the exactbuild with me). They run a weekly process which causes TempDB to growto over 100GB before it fails due to a full disk. Once it's grown tothat size we can't seem to shrink it again short of restarting theserver.The database is set to Simple recovery mode and I believe that it isset to auto shrink.Here are some things that found out/tried:DBCC SHRINKFILE (tempdev, 50000) does nothing.DBCC OPENTRAN returns no transactions.If I look in TempDB for any temporary tables, I get a couple dozen.They all have zero rows in them though. I didn't think to look at thecolumns that they contain, but maybe that will give me an indicationof their use. I used SELECT OBJECT_NAME(id), rowcnt FROMtempdb..sysindexes WHERE OBJECT_NAME(id) LIKE '#%'sp_spaceused shows that almost none of the space is actually beingused.I've looked for reindexing operations in their code and didn't seeany, but there's quite a bit of code there. While there are someoperations against some very large tables, I didn't see any obviouscartesian products or sorts either. Again though, there's a lot ofcode and I haven't profiled much of it.My plan right now is to reboot, set up a trace to track both filegrowths and SQL statements and then see if I can find whichstatement(s) are causing the TempDB to grow to be so large. Anysuggestions on additional things to track? Even given this though, Idon't know if that will help me with the shrinking issue, except topossibly prevent it from being necessary in the future.Any advice or suggestions welcome. Please let me know if I've left outany important information. I always seem to forget at least oneobviously important bit of information. :-)Thanks!-Tom.

We're running our database on SQL Server 7 and we've setup the tempdb to grow automatically.Gradually,it has grown upto 11390 MB and the used space is only 14 MB.It's not shrinking when we used the shrinkdb option.We cannot move the tempdb to RAM as it's very big.Can anyone help us in this...
How do you shrink the tempdb in SQL Server 7 after you allocated a large space to it but later realized you allocated too much.... I need to reclaim the space allocated to it but when I try to change the size or do a shrinkdb it either tells me I cannot shrink it smaller than allocated size or it shrinks tempdb to current (which is too large)... I looked online but could not find anything...
Any suggestions or assistance would be much appreciated... up to my eyes in tempdb..... Bill.
Hi Guys,
Tempdb in one of our SQLSERVER is standing at 5GB. I try to shrink it to 2GB, using following commands.
DBCC shrinfile(2,2000)
DBCC SHRINKDATABASE (tempdb, 2000)
It doesn't want to shrink at all... I ran sp_spaceused it give following results
Reserved data indx_size unused.

I dont understand why tempdb doesnt want to shrink...?? help is greatly appericated.. thanks..
Does tempdb ever need to be shrunk, or have it's log (does it even have one) dumped or does sql server handle this chore?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOne of my boxes was built with all of the system databases on the C: drive, and tempdb is up to 2 GB and there is no room left on the drive
It should have been installed on the D: drive
I've never had to do this before, mostly because I never install sql serevr on the c partition
Any war stories or suggestions

I'm running Sql 2000 with many users logged in. My tempdb database has grown to a large size 3/4 of it free space. Is there a way to shrink the database while users are logged on. I tried using the enterprise mgr. to shrink the tempdb database, but it did not work. How can I shrink this? It's using a ton of free space.
Thank You in advance
A customer on SQL7 has a 40GB tempdb (which is usually 2-5GB) which has filled the drive. ShrinkDb/ShrinkFile do nothing as the db has only 2GB of free space. How can I truncate the data or blitz tempdb and create a new (2-5GB) one (Stopping the server, deleteing the .mdf, starting the server creates a new tempdb with the same size as the old one!)

Database MDF is 27806 MB and I tried to shrink but unable to shrink. It is production server.I do not want Restart sql server.There is no open transaction.
I need some advice for an issue with a production transaction log min size having been set to 50 GB by some rouge developer while I was on vacation. Now, as the only resident DBA, I'm responsible for going in and reducing it down so we can free up limited disk space. It’s in SQL 2000 and participates in replication.
Because the log file cannot be set below its current minimum size, I’m a little stumped. Can I somehow force the minimum size by updating the table database.dbo.sysfiles?
Otherwise, what do you-all think of this plan?
1.)Back up the database.
2.)Verify no open transactions with DBCC opentran(‘database’) and proceed accordingly.
3.)Change it to single user mode.
4.)Set it to Simply Recovery mode.
5.)Issue a checkpoint to clear the log.
6.)Script out push replication.
7.)Delete replication.
8.)Detach it.
9.)Delete the Transaction Log.
10.) Attach it and let SQL Server recreate a transaction log to the SLQ Server default size.
11.) Run the Replication Script.
12.) Start the Snapshot Agent.
13.) Restart the Transaction Log Reader Agent.
14.) Celebrate a Victory!
Thanks in advance for your help!

I want to shrink database:
1. backup log ABC with truncate_only
2. dbcc shrinkdatabase(ABC, 10)
Cannot shrink log file 2 (ABC_Log) because requested size (113792KB) is larger than the start of the last logical log file.

there is no transaction in this ABC database. Is there way to shrink it?
Not quite sure about "because requested size (113792KB) is larger than the start of the last logical log file.". The current log size is 113 mb.

Hi all;
i m using SQL 2000, i have a database with 86G mdf and 56G ldf size. i shrink the ldf and it reduced to 32M, however, i did not do anything on my mdf file, but the size of mdf has been reduced to 28G. just would like to check, is this correct?why is mdf size reduced when i only shrink my ldf? hope can help. thanks
I have a sharepoint content database in sql 2008 R2 (WSS_Content) that is at 230Gb size, but has 40% of it is empty space. This is because we have removed a large amount of old content from sharepoint. The log file is fine. I have 60GB left in my drive that host the database files. I would like to shrink the datafile to get disk space back. I found that under the files property, the WSS_Content data file's initial size is 228702 MB (220 Gb or so).
When i try to do a shrink file (data file) from management studio, i see the 60 GB of drive space keep dropping. So i have to kill the process. what i should do to reduce this data file.
why it keep using up all the free space in the drive when i try to shrink the data file?

I have an SQL server that has probably 20 or so people connected at a time. In addition to these people, there are five people that run Crystal reports with some voluminous data, usually coming from views.
About every week and a half, one of the report writers get a message that the master device is full and must be expanded, because tempdb is full. When I expand temdb, it fixes the problem.
My question is, the tempdb is now 800 Megs. The sum total of memory allocated to all of the other(besides master)devices is 650. Should this be a flag that something is wrong? It just keeps growing and growing. Tempdb is not on it's own device-it is still on master.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

when I restart SQL server my tempdb database is 1.9Gb. I thought it was deleted and replaced with a copy of the model database. Is this not so?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have read that MS suggests you tempdb be atleast 25% of your largest database. Is there any way to monitor your tempdb to determine if it is filling up or being 100% utilized and needs to be expanded?

I have a server with 2.5GB of RAM. I am allocation 1GB to SQL Server and am attempting to put 500MB tempdb in RAM. It would appear as though I am hitting some sort of max threshhold that I am unaware of as I can set tempdb in RAM up to 320MB. Anything beyond that and I get the following errors on start up and SQL Server will not start.
98/12/02 08:25:47.03 spid1 Clearing temp db

I am certain that I am not hitting a Physical RAM limit and the memory checks out and is visible to NT. Please Advise. Thanks
Greetings:
I have a database that is 1.7terabyte in size with 136gb free and throws a "transport level error" telling me to discard the results when I run dbccshrinkfile ('DBNAME', size). I have tried various increments of size, from truncateonly to 1MB below its current value, and nothing works. I have tried to detach and reattach the db, restart the service, restart the server, and none have provided a solution. Any ideas?

Derek

Any solution please...

Hello Everyone!
Is there any way by which I can determine whether the tempdb size for the SQL Server is enough or not? (I ean are there any symptoms like excessive paging etc. that can identify this bottleneck?).
Thanks!
We had a runaway query which built the size of tempdb to 24000mb. Then someone changed the unrestricted file growth property to restricted growth while the size was 24000mb. Now I can not reduce the initial size. I have set the property back to unrestricted file growth. I have shrunk the tempdb and available space is almost 24000mb. I have stopped sqlserver. I even deleted the existing tempdb.mdf & tempdb.ldf files. But when SQL server is restarted, the initial size is set to 24000mb. It will not let me reduce the size. Is there anything short of manipulating the system tables to reduce the size back to 500mb?
