We have database of size 375GB .The data file has 80 GB free space within .When trying to rebuild the index we had 450 GB free space on the disk where Log file is residing.The rebuild index activity failed due to space issue.added more space and got the job done successfully

The Log file has grow up to 611GB to complete the rebuild index.

version :SQL server 2005 Standard Edition .Is ther a way to estimate the space required for rebuild index in this version.

I am aware we notmaly allocate 1.5 times of data file.But in this case It was totaly wrong.

Any suggestion with examples would be appreciated.

Hi all,

 I am getting the blow error message while restoring one Transaction log backup.

"The log or differential backup cannot be restored because no files are ready to rollforward. "

I was trying to understand the backup and restore in sql server especially how the  log back up can help to restore the data if the database is crashed. the following steps I have followed:

1)Created one database called "TEST" and created one table "T1" and inserted one record "r1"
2)Took backup and restored into other server.
3)Inserted record "r2" on the first server's"TEST" database and took transaction log backup
4)Tried to restore into second server, got the above error

Please help me to under stand the error and resolve.

SQL 2008 SP1 Standard edition.

I have noticed that DDL database triggers are not restored from full database backup.

Are they stored in master database?

I have a web application running on an Azure VM using SQL Azure for persistence. I just added a second SQL Azure database for ASPState. I believe that I have set up the ASPState database correctly but certain transaction cause aUnable to cast object of type 'System.DBNull' to type 'System.Byte[]'.

Here is the TempSessions table schema

TABLE[dbo].[ASPStateTempSessions](

I get multiple errors when i install SQL server 2012 SP1 In my lab server.

Not sure why i keep getting different errors all the time when i install SQL server 2012 & 2012 SP1.

Below are error codes, screen shots and also a log of the error.

1.  Eror code 0X84B40000

Also dint understand any thing from this article related to the above error 

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/5b6cc928-0db8-4fe4-a5d3-21672225f0ca/i-get-error-code-0x84b40000-when-trying-to-install-sql-server-mgmt-studio-to-an-existing-sql?forum=sqlexpress

2. Eror code 0x851A001A

Can any one plz help as i always get one or the other error.

====================================

Screen shot: 

Please note the below screen shot has given the error code 0x851A001A which is same in case of failure of all the other features which have failed during this installation. Hence i have uploaded only one screen shot.



2. Log file content.

Recently We've migrated SQL 2005 x86 Enterprise running on Windows 2003 Enterprise to new hardware where is running Windows 2008 SP2 and SQL 2005 x64 SP4 with CU3. We migrate users (with standard approach by Microsoft) and application databases to new server. Everything is looking ok, applications working. But we've got some SQL exceptions like below.

Is there any known bug related to that? Could someone help us.

I am very passionate when it comes about SQL Server.

From the past 10 months i am writing blogs in SQL Server, and still i consider myself to be in a learning phase, which keeps me improving day by day.

You can see my blogs at: www.sqlservergeeks.com/blogs/piyush.bajaj.2007

So now i also want to contribute to MSDN with my knowledge, and i feel that it be my pleasure to write for Microsoft.

Thanks

Hi All,

my tempdb mdf file is full .it occupies 85Gb out-of 90Gb

Server:Sql server2008R2

Please help me in this issue.

Maheshwar Reddy

I have Always-On synchronization on some databases, We want to change from asynchronize mode to synchronize mode, I tested to see what the  change in performance between the two, and found that in general the select statements keep the same duration with and without synchronize mode, most of the update\insert usually take around * 4 times from the asynchronize mode, BUT some updates take much longer. I would like to understand why things take MUCH longer (I understand that working with synchronize mode is a 2 phase commit and should take * 4 times, but I can't understand why some of them take 50 - 100 times more).

1. One query is an update made on a table with few records (up to 40 records), this update run 250K times a day, and a very simple update on this table takes * 98 than without synchronize mode

1. An update on a big table with 2 million records, using a query that specify the unique column in the primary cluster key, takes 50 times more.

What are  the factors that have dramatic influence on performance when 2 phase commit (asynchronize mode) is used?

I am a developer who uses different databases, but SQL Server is my favorite. I have a couple of small portable apps that I have been using a MS Access database to store information. I am interested in using the feature that allows you to embed a SQL database/engine in your .NET app. I saw it first in 2012, and now in 2014, but still a shortage of info, even in MSDN. Is this fringe tech to be avoided? Maybe I should stick with access as it has a front-end for design purposes?

I need to run a POC to see if we can implement 2 phase commit in our mirroring environment.

we currently can't configure always-on to the DR site, so I would like to run the tests using Mirroring with safety on as a test.

should I expect to have same performance with Always on AG with synchronize mode, as with mirroring with safety full?

Dear All

Can you please help me out of this below issue.

My Server having : Windows 2012 SD 64 bit

SQL : SQL 2008 R2 64 bit SP1 

Memory : 64 GB

SQL Min Memory : 45 GB and Max memory : 55 GB so remaining 9 GB available

but my sql server any time shows 94% memory utilization. i have checked below points

My User asking how much sql transaction takes out off 55 GB , and each transaction how much takes, how to find sql healthy and sql needs how much memory. 

Thanks

Hi all,

I need assistance creating a maintenance plan that will backup a databases logs in order to prevent them from filling up the drive they are located on. I have looked at some blogs but they do not specifically show how this is done.

My database is in an AlwaysOn Availability Group.

Thank you very much for your help!
