How to get unused space in SQL SERVER in OS level

Hi ,
We have ECC 6.0 system on Windows 2003 and SQL SERVER 2005 database. There were hugh number of spools request deleted by us.
Now DB02 is showing this :
Number of files                     5
Total Size [MB]               402,900
Allocated [MB]                302,727
Free [MB]                     100,173
We want 100GB free space in OS level that is inside the SQL server .The affected table was TST03 .
Is there any procedure / document to recover this space in OS level ?
Thanks
Mukul

Hi dudes!
I agree with Mushtaq_M that you can shrink your files, and also that this is not recommended; some DBAs become very nervous if they see some tens of Gb allocated by the database but free and which space cannot be returned to the file system.
Of course, you can shrink your database files. It is explained in note *363018* (points D and E). In fact, under certain circumstances it could be necessary to shrink your transaction log, as per note *625546* and note *421644*.
However, regarding your particular question, I would say that it could have a 'bad' effect: you would waste your resources or even hinder the performance during the time it takes the database shrinking and you wouldn't get a performance improvement in return. In fact, sooner or later your database will probably grow up to its current size or even more. Even more, as a rule of a thumb, it is recommended that each datafile has at least around 10-15% of free space.
At last, let me point out that you should not rely on SQL Server's "autogrow" function: this is recommended just to prevent the emergency situation that the database stops working because there is no free space left at all, but you are recommended to monitor and manually increase the datafiles whenever necessary.
You can also refer to the SAP Help Portal for further help on the +MS SQL Server DB administration in CCMS+ as well as on the +Database Management Tools+. You should always check the +Microsoft SQL Server 2005 *Books Online (BOL)*+

How to get password for the Sql server 2008 r2

Always when a user forgets a SA password , Blogs suggest to get into the server through windows Authentication having SysAdmin , and change the password for user SA.
Sir,
Is there any other methods to retrieve or see the password what we assigned before.
Example: If SA Password is assigned as Test
I have to get Test
, Instead of changing password.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
Dont you think it would create a Havoc if one could specifically see other admins password.Apply Gumption, you wont use SQL server if that feature is there.You cannot obtain password for other users.
If user forgets it change it ,there is no restriction on changing.

Can you post the DDL for that table together with a SELECT query and results demonstrating invalid data?
DECLARE @dt DATETIME = '1753-01-01 00:00:00.0';
-- Command(s) completed successfully.
DECLARE @dt DATETIME = '1752-01-01 00:00:00.0';

How can get a database like ****.SQL file for test in sqlplus in oracle8i

How can get a database like ****.SQL file for test in sqlplus in oracle8i,I am a beginner,thanks

I'll give it a guess as to what it is you want but I'm afraid you'll have to give some more information to go on. I appreciate it's difficult for people who are beginners or who don't have English as their first language.
Are you trying to run a SQL file? From SQL*plus you can do either of these:
SQL> start my_file
or
SQL> @my_file
N.B.: if th efile has a .sql extension you don't need to include it, but you do for any other file extension e.g.
SQL> @myfile.run

How to change Rendering Extension in sql server Reporting Services based on User Permissions

Hi,
I want to provide SQL server reporting services rendering extension based on user Access.
For Example
User1 can have options of Rendering to EXCEL and PDF
User2 can have a option of CSV
i read one article which is useful for report basis rendering extension changes. but i want to give user basis rendering options.
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3569/how-to-change-rendering-extensions-in-sql-server-reporting-services/?utm_source=dailynewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=headline&utm_campaign=20150406
Thanks in advance.
GVRSPK VENI

You can use a data driven subscription for that
Maintain a table with rendering extension information for various users ie their AD user login. Then setup a data driven subscription based on table values
You will be creating a dataset with query for retrieving userid as well as rendering extensions and then just set the value as Get value from database for render Format and To properties
For more details refer

Open SQL Server Management Studio, or if it's running select File -> Connect Object Explorer... and click the
connect drop down arrow
