Free space to the rest of the database from a single table

≪ Previous: difference between "print" statements and "select" statements , TSQL

Hi,

I have a table where we did a compression the JPG that make up the LOB data. This made the table about 70% smaller. However, I can see that the unused space for the table is 56GB vs 41GB of actual data in the table.

I'm trying to release that unused space so that the space is not assigned just to this table but available to the whole database. I do not need to shrink the physical files.

Is this something that can be done?

SQL Server 2008 SP3 is what I'm running.

The index size is only 624K, the majority of the data is the LOB.

Is there a property of the table that is telling it to keep this much free space to itself? Or some other factor?

(we have Merge replication in use which makes it impossible for me to simple recreate the table, I really need another option).

Thank you.

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.

Hi Everyone,

I have an application that connects to a SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition server. Most of the machines are running on Windows XP and can connect to the database successfully.

Why updates on some tables with always on synchronize mode take * 100 than when asynchronize mode

May 4, 2014, 2:14 pm

≫ Next: I get one or the other error when i install SQL server 2012 SP1 in my Lab server

≪ Previous: Tempdb mdf file is full

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 have a server that houses a database application that makes heavy use of temp tables. It appears that temp tables are not getting dropped from the tempdb. In perfmon the temp table count is hanging around 1000 and is not going down over time.

Even if the programmers are not using drop table at the end of their sps, shouldn't these temp tables be cleaned up when they go out of scope?

Restore an SQL 2008 full backup to SQL Serveer 2005

January 30, 2008, 8:38 am

≫ Next: Problem to create database after Drop

≪ Previous: SQL agent proxy account for Powershell

Dear All,

I have been working on a database on my laptop that has SQL Server 2008 Ktma installed.

The database was restored from a full backup that I had taken from the production SQL 2005 server.

Now that I have finished my job I want to restore it back to the production Server (SQL 2005). I took the backup with "No compression" on a disk file through the SQL 2008 Management studio.

However when trying to restore the SQL 2008 backup onto the SQL server 2005 I get an error:

The media family on device xxxx is incorreclty formed ....

Can someone help me on this. Is it possible that sql 2008 backups are not compatible to the sql 2005 structure?

Is there anyway to have my database restored back on the sql server 2005?

Thank you in advance,

S. Menegos

PS: It is not an issue of malformed file since I did the process several times (taking the backup, coping to the sql server 2005 machine).

Problem to create database after Drop

Hi,

I need to create automatically a lot of databases but sometimes I get errors. So, I drop the database and try to recreate them but, when I try to recreate them, SQL Server says : "impossible, database already exist, change the name".

So after 5 tries with a 100ms pause in between each, I use DBCC FREEPROCCACHE and it's ok.

But, using FREEPROCCACCHE beeing very violent I trying to find how to manage that in a better way.

Is it possible to do something else ?

Thanks

I have a VMWare machine running MS SQL Server 2008 STD and for some reason it keep dropping communications to my shop floor application every night at 12:07 AM. This outage lasts 4 to 5 seconds and everything returns to normal. Other than that, it runs fine.

I know these details are sparse. I'm just looking for some feedback on how to pose a more intelligent question.

Thanks.

≪ Previous: SQL Server Communication Issues

I have a serious problem here. I have a production SQL 2005. Tempdb has grown 80 GB when I was doing the important operation in one of the tables in a database in this machine. Now everything finished. I saw tempdb has grown to 80GB I don't much space on this Server. I am left with 100 GB free space on the server. I tried shrinking the mdf file of tempdb. It executes successfully but no space is released to OS. Is restarting the SQL Server the only way to release the space. Can you please help me to release the space ? Is there any way i can do it without restarting the SQL service.

Please need some help here.

Thanks

How to get rid of _WA_sys statistics ?

Hi,

I am on SQL 2008.

On one of our main databases, Auto Create statistics is set to True. On certain tables, we have _WA_sys statistics generated on many columns. Many of those columns are part of an index (but not the leading column). Recently we have migrated to SQL 2008 from a different database.

In many of our performance issues, my theory is, due to these _WA_sys stats, we are not getting the plan, we expect from the query.

What I want to try is, get rid of some of the _WA_sys stats and try running the queries. I tried doing,

drop statistics [my_table_name].[_WA_Sys_00000003_060DEAE8]

The command ran successfully, but when I refresh SSMS, I can still see the _WA_sys stats there. Why is that?

Do I need to set Auto create statistics to False first, before deleting these stats?

How can get rid of these stats? How can I stop generation of _WA_sys stats for certain tables? Or do I have to do that at database level?

One might say, MSSQL is creating that for a reason. I agree. But in our particular application, there are very few very huge tables and we exactly know how to use them, really :)

Thanks in advance.
