finding the database size from the backup file.I have SQL 2012 backup file, is there any way to find the estimated database size from the backup.I tried restoring , i got an error saying " no space need additional xxx bytes " ...does this error gives the exact space needed to restore ?
One more question....one of the backup file size is 7.2 GB, when i try to restore it ....it throws error saying it needs 292GB extra space while only 100 Gb is available. How come 392 Gb sized database becomes 7.2 Gb .bak file ?
Hi all!
How can I calculate the combined table size for the following:
The Destination and the ShipmentWages tables on a database of a courier service have approximately 10,000 rows and 15,000 rows, respectively. The average row size of the Destination table is 4KB and that of the ShipmentWages table is 3KB.
Thanks,

i couldnot understand
i) how the system calculate this 16 KB and 8 KB ?
ii) if i changed the VARCHAR(255) to VARCHAR(50) ,will there be difference in size of the table ,if so then how ?
iii) how can i see the change in size of table by reducing the size of datatype ?
can anybody help me ?
I want to calculate average row size of a record. By based on this i want to add some more columns into an existing table. Here is my table structureCREATE TABLE patient_procedure( proc_id int IDENTITY(1,1) CONSTRAINT proc_id_pri_key PRIMARY KEY, patient_id int NULL, surgeon_name varchar(40) NOT NULL, proc_name varchar(20) , part_name varchar(30), wth_contrast int , wthout_contrast int , wth_wthout_contrast int, xray_part varchar(60), arth_area varchar(30), others varchar(30) , cpt varchar(20) , procedure_date smalldatetime NOT NULL, mraloperrun varchar(20),CONSTRAINT patientid_foreign_key FOREIGN KEY(patient_id) REFERENCES dbo.patient_information (Patient_id)) Now i got a requirement that i have to add two more procedures with different columns.The columns overall size is 195 bytes.I can place those two procedures as seperate tables. I dont want to do that becuase of front end requirements.Here the problem is when the user enters these two procedures information remaining fields will store the null value. I know that when we store the null values into corresponding columns min of 1 byte will be occupied. Please suggest me that shall i include these columns into the above table. If i add these columns is performance will be decreased or not. Waiting for valuable suggestions.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am on SQL Server 2008 R2. I have a table that contains a field called [Location]. In that field is a UNC path to the physical file on the repository. Is there a way in SQL Server that I can say give me the select sum([Location] UNC file) where criteria? I saw some posts about xp_filesize or xp_GetFileDetails, but I do not see them in master. I am unable to add anything and wondering if there is any native functionality that would allow me to accomplish this!?

I have a client with no backup of MASTERdb or Help_rev_devices, all I have is a couple of .dmp's of the production data. In order to run DISK REINIT I need to know the size of the database, is there any way of finding out the size of the database device, if all you have to go with is a backup dump file?
I know it won't be pretty.

What is the easiest way to calculate the space (size in bytes) used by a BLOB column that is already stored in a particular row?
Thanks.
I need find out the number of columns in flat file before i process that particular file.
I have file name in @filename variable and file path is @filepath variable.
But do not not that how i will check the column name in before i will process that file.
@filePath = C:DatabaseSourceFilesCAHCVSSourceFiles
And I am using for each loop container to read the file one by one and put the file name in @filename variable.
and my file name like
Product_20120607060930.txt
Product_20130708060930.txt
My file structure is:
ID,Name,City,Country,Phone
1,Riya,Pune,India,454564
2,Jiya,New Jersey,India,454564
3,Riya,St Louis,USA,454564
4,Riya,Belleville,USA,454564
5,Riya,Miami,USA,454564
Now what i have to do is i need to make sure that ID,Name,City,County,Phone is there in flat file. if it is not there then i have to send mail to client saying that file is not valid.
Let me know how i will do it.I need to also calculate the size of flat file.
I receive Error: 3967, Severity: 17, State: 1. Insufficient space in tempdb to hold row versions. We have 8 data files for temp db of 10210 GB size and given 10240 GB as max size.
As MS suggest to calculate the temp db file size and growth rate we need to monitor the perform counters Free Space in Tempdb (KB) and Version Store Size (KB) in the Transactions object.
basic formula: [Size of Version Store] = 2 * [Version store data generated per minute] * [Longest running time (minutes) of your transaction
My report disk utilizations says tempdb is full ? I thonk I need a shrink for the file .
Still I am confused in calculating the size , My perform counter gives me data as such
Free Space in tempdb (KB) 279938496
Version Generation rate (KB/s) 53681040
Version Cleanup rate (KB/s) 53422320
Version Store Size (KB) 258720
Version Store unit count 22
Version Store unit creation 774
Version Store unit truncation 752
I need to calculate the last two columns (noofgrp and grpsize) No of Groups (count of Clientid) and Group Size (number of clients in each group) according to begtim and endtime. So I tried the following in the first Temp table
GrpSize= count(clientid) over (partition by begtime,endtime) else 0 end
and in the second Temp Table, I have
select
,GrpSize=sum(grpsize)
,NoofGrp=count(distinct grpsize)
From Temp1
The issue is for the date of 5/26, the begtime and endtime are not consistent. in Grp1 (group 1) all clients starts the session at 1030 and ends at 1200 (90 minutes session) except one who starts at 11 and end at 1200 (row 8). For this client since his/her endtime is the same as others, I want that client to be in the first group(Grp1). Reverse is true for the second group (Grp2). All clients begtime is 12:30 and endtime is 1400 but clientid=2 (row 9) who begtime =1230 but endtime = 1300. However, since this client begtime is the same as the rest, I wan that client to be in the second group (grp2) My partition over creates 4 groups rather than two.
I have a problem when i restore my .DAT_BAK file. I am getting error like "The backup set holds a backup of a database other than existing database. Restore Database is terminating abnormally".
I tried by using
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME>
FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH MOVE 'VZAI_DATA' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.MDF',
MOVE 'VZAI_LOG' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.LDF',
REPLACE
And also i tried like
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME>
FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH REPLACE
When i use like this,
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'. I am able to get the output as LogicalName, PhysicalName, Type, FileGroupName, Size, etc.
Can i anyone please help me out?
Thanks in Advance,

Why is it that lately our full backup (.bak) file size is more than 2x the size of the actual database file size (.mdb)?

Hi there
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
Thanks

My database is of 10 gb, when backup is taken the size of .bak file is less than 10 gb.
Why?
I have a log file that is approximately 50 GIG. I backed up just the log and the file size of the .bak is 192 GIG . Why is this? Shouldn't it be closer to the 50 GIG.
Normally I wouldn't let log grow this much. But we are in process of getting new server up and running and don't have backups going yet. They are working on getting that up and running this week.
So I did a log backup to give me back some log space for now but was concerned when I saw the size of the .bak file.
When I view media contents of the backup device it shows one tranaction log back up and size of 192 GIG.
What is up with this. I know in SQL 2000 the log backup files where never this big. they were about the size of the log itself.
Any ideas?

I need to know how big SQL Server 7 backup files are in comparison to the database size. For example if I have a database that is 300 Mb and I do a complete backup to disk with SQL Server 7 will the backup file be about 300 Mb?
Thanks,

Hi all,
How can I see what is exact size of SQL server backup file while backup is running. The process is running for more than 2 hours, it is chewing up disk space (it already took about 20G), but the size of backup file is still showing as 0.
Thanks in advance
what will be size of backup file(FULL) for 1TB database. Just wanna make sure backup is done right.I did a full backup of 1TB database and backup file came like 507GB. I am using GUI for backup.But it completed 100% but didn't give me the screen'The backup is completed successfully' .it says executing---0%
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a MS SQL 2000 dB that is 3GB, the transaction log is about 2GB.I do a full dB backup every night. My question is, shouldn't thetransaction log shrink down to next to nothing after a full dB backup?D.p8oust7eh+
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently started using Differential backups. They are working but are growing in size a lot quicker than I expected.
The backups are growing by 2.5GB every day although the total size of all
transaction backups is under 350MB. I would have imagined that the total transaction log backups would be a good indicator of total database changes and therefore the differential backups would approach this figure.
Please explain!
I have installed the sql server management studio express for my express edition of studio 2005 for backup purposes.
I need to automate backing up my database.
I created a backup script and have successfully got sched tasks to backup each night. the problem is it is not overwriting the previous data. My first backup was 1 gig, the next night the file was 2 gig, the next it was 3 and so on.
This is not due to that much data being added to the db.
When I go to restore, I have the option to restore any of the 3 backups. I would like my backup to be a single image of the database at the last backup time. How can I do this?
hello guys,
Please bare with my english.
Is there a way to compute for the backup file size of the database.
Example.
DatabaseName
TEST_DB
*in MB
DataSize DataSize_Used DataSize_UnUsed
150.00 81.00 70.00
LogSize LogSize_Used LogSize_UnUsed
30.00 1.00 29.00
When I run a backup for TEST_DB ,
*base on this figure - can we compute the the estimated backup file size for TEST_DB?
Has anyone come across a more accurate method than sp_spaceused to estimate the size of a full database backup for SQL Server 2000 ?
I have found this to have too great a variance (even after running updateusage) to rely on any accuracy for it. I have also looked at perhaps using the ALLOCATED Pages indicated in the GAM pages but this also seems to be pretty inaccurate.
I have a number of servers where space can be limited and backups using Maintenance Plans have occasionally failed because they delete the old backups AFTER they do the latest one. I am writing a script which can check the space remaining and adjust the backup accordingly but the variance I have observed so far with sp_spaceused is too great.
Any ideas welcomed.
Dear All,
I am using Append to media backup option in 2000 Version. The size of backup is growing. how can I best create the maintenace plan to clear the history or clear the old files in BACKUP (.bak) file but still be able to restore point in time from same physical file. I
Is there any side effect of doing that.
Thanks,
Hi,
i use this script that show me the size of each table and do the sum of all the table size.
SELECT
X.[name],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[rows]), 1), '.00', '') AS [rows],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[reserved]), 1), '.00', '') AS [reserved],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[data]), 1), '.00', '') AS [data],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[index_size]), 1), '.00', '') AS [index_size],
REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar, CONVERT(money, X.[unused]), 1), '.00', '') AS [unused]
FROM
(SELECT
CAST(object_name(id) AS varchar(50)) AS [name],
SUM(CASE WHEN indid < 2 THEN CONVERT(bigint, [rows]) END) AS [rows],
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, reserved)) * 8 AS reserved,
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, dpages)) * 8 AS data,
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, used) - CONVERT(bigint, dpages)) * 8 AS index_size,
SUM(CONVERT(bigint, reserved) - CONVERT(bigint, used)) * 8 AS unused
FROM sysindexes WITH (NOLOCK)
WHERE sysindexes.indid IN (0, 1, 255)
AND sysindexes.id > 100
AND object_name(sysindexes.id) <> 'dtproperties'
GROUP BY sysindexes.id WITH ROLLUP) AS X
ORDER BY X.[name]
the problem is that the sum of all tables is not the same size when i make a full database backup.
example of this is when i run this query against my database i see a sum of 111,899 KB that they are 111MB,but when
i do full backup to that database the size of this full backup is 1.5GB,why is that and where this size come from?
THX
Does any one know what could be making the size of a backup get so big in SQL server?
I noticed if you back-up the same database in Enterprise Manager over and over (without making any changes to the database), the size of the backup gets bigger and bigger. To get around this I simply erase the backup and create a new one.
Now I'm experiencing the same kind of problem, different situation. I decided to make very few changes to my database. If anything, I shrunk the size of the tables and stored procedures.... Now all of a sudden my database backup is 7 times larger.
What could be increasing the size so much, if I haven't increased the amount of tables or stored procedures?
What is the log file about? Mine is huge? Is there a way to reset it or clear it?
any help would be great.
Thank you,
Alec
I have got SQLv6.5 SP5a with SMS1.2 SP4 on seperate Alpha boxes. I have automated the backups so they are scheduled for after hours. SMS gets backed up first and TEMPDB shortly afterwards. However, since a back log in SMS MIFS has happened, the TEMPDB backup displays of 100,000pages backed up. When you back it up on its own, it only shows 170+ pages.
The SMS DB is 600MB in size, the Log is 210MB, Open objects is 5000, and TEMPDB is set 210MB on its own device.
Any ideas
I'm having a problem. When I use the SQL query to make a backup of the database, it worked fine. But everytime I use it, the backed-up file's size kept growing in size. Say I have the file, test.bak whose filesize is 450 MB then I run a new backup to overwrite the existing test.bak file, it just end up as 900 MB. If I run it again, it become 1350 MB and so on.
Is there a way to prevent that from happening?
