Sql server log shipping space consumption

I have implemented sql server logs shipping from hq to dr server
The secondary databases are in standby mode .
The issue is that after configuring it , my dr server is running out of space very rapidly
I have checked the log shipping folders where the trn files resides and they are of very decent size , and the retention is configured for twenty four hours
I checked the secondary databases and their size is exactly same as that of the corresponding primary databases
Could you guys please help me out in identifying the reason behind this odd space increase
I would be grateful if you could point me to some online resources that explains this matter with depth

The retention is happening . I have checked the folders they do not have records older then 24 hours .
I dont know may be its because in the secondary server (Dr) there is no full backup job working , is it because of this the ldf file is getting bigger and bigger but again I far as my understanding goes we cannot take a database full backup in the stand
by mode .
The TLog files of log shipped DBs on the secondary will be same size as that of primary. The only way to shrink the TLog files on secondary (I am not advising you to do this) is to shrink them on the primary, force-start the TLog backup job, then the copy
job, then the restore job on the secondary, which will sync the size of the TLog file on the secondary.
If you have allocated the same sized disk on both primary and secondary for TLog files, then check if the Volume Shadow Copy is consuming the space on the secondary

Sql Server Log shipping

Hi,
We have configured log shipping in our production setup. Now we are planning to change the service account from local system on which SQL Server is running to to other domain account.
Pls let me know changing the service account would have any impact on Log Shipping.
Regards,
Varun

Hi n.varun,
According to your description, about startup account for SQL Server and SQL Server Agent Services on Log Shipping Servers, if you have placed SQL Servers in a domain, Microsoft recommends that you use a domain account to start SQL Server services. As other
post, the domain account has full control permissions on the shared location and is sysadmin role in SQL Server security. Even if
you change the account form Local System to the domain account in SQL Server Configuration Manager (SSCM), it would have no impact on Log Shipping.
In addition, if you configure SQL Server Log shipping in a different domain or workgroup, we need to verify that the SQL Server Agent service account running on the secondary server must have read access to the folder that the log backups are located in,
and has permissions to the local folder that it will copy the logs to, then in secondary server, we can change the SQL Server Agent from using Local System to the domain account you are configuring. For more information, see:
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2562/sql-server-log-shipping-to-a-different-domain-or-workgroup/
There is an detail about how to configure security for SQL Server log shipping, you can review the following link.

SQL Server log generating minidump files every minute

Good afternoon.
Our SQL server recently started generating minidump files almost every minute.
I'm waiting on the final dbcc checkdb of the final database but all others have returned without error.
I've run the dump files through the debugging utility and have the following stack dump which I'm not sure how to interpret.
At this point, I'm not quite sure how to proceed, pending on the results from dbcc.
There are no other obvious errors in the event or system logs to cross-reference.
Thanks

i agree with Erland. Run DBCC CHECKDB on the database. Most likely there is corruption in database.

2012 SQL server log shipping problem

Scenario:
Site 1: 2012 Enterprise version 64-bit (11.0.3128.0) - Log shipping is enabled for four databases. Shipping logs over a WAN every 15 minutes to a DR site.
Site 2: 2012 Enterprise version 64-bit (11.0.3128.0) - Secondary server for log shipping.
Site two functions for a period of time with the databases in Standby/Read-Only mode, then the databases will mysteriously switch to "restoring..." mode and error 14420 Severity 16 State 1 will appear in the logs. I have located kb2987585
and this did apply to the situtation as the sector sizes were different, so as a work around I moved the log shipping shared folder on the secondary server to a drive with the same sector settings as the primary server but this did not resolve the issue.
Has anyone had this issue and can you offer potential solutions?
Thank you -

Hi,
I still consider the bug raised in
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2987585?wa=wsignin1.0
is not fixed. I have seen lot of other users complaining. But at this point I need to have look at SQL Server errorlog

How to convert from SQL Server table to Flat file (txt file)

I need To ask question how convert from SQL Server table to Flat file txt file

Hi
1. Import/Export wizened
2. Bcp utility
3. SSIS
1.Import/Export Wizard
First and very manual technique is the import wizard. This is great for ad-hoc and just to slam it in tasks.
In SSMS right click the database you want to import into. Scroll to Tasks and select Import Data…
For the data source we want out zips.txt file. Browse for it and select it. You should notice the wizard tries to fill in the blanks for you. One key thing here with this file I picked is there are “ “ qualifiers. So we need to make
sure we add “ into the text qualifier field. The wizard will not do this for you.
Go through the remaining pages to view everything. No further changes should be needed though
Hit next after checking the pages out and select your destination. This in our case will be DBA.dbo.zips.
Following the destination step, go into the edit mappings section to ensure we look good on the types and counts.
Hit next and then finish. Once completed you will see the count of rows transferred and the success or failure rate
Import wizard completed and you have the data!
bcp utility
Method two is bcp with a format file http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162802.aspx
This is probably going to win for speed on most occasions but is limited to the formatting of the file being imported. For this file it actually works well with a small format file to show the contents and mappings to SQL Server.
To create a format file all we really need is the type and the count of columns for the most basic files. In our case the qualifier makes it a bit difficult but there is a trick to ignoring them. The trick is to basically throw a field into the
format file that will reference it but basically ignore it in the import process.
Given that our format file in this case would appear like this
9.0
9
1 SQLCHAR 0 0 """ 0 dummy1 ""
2 SQLCHAR 0 50 "","" 1 Field1 ""
3 SQLCHAR 0 50 "","" 2 Field2 ""
4 SQLCHAR 0 50 "","" 3 Field3 ""
5 SQLCHAR 0 50 ""," 4 Field4 ""
6 SQLCHAR 0 50 "," 5 Field5 ""
7 SQLCHAR 0 50 "," 6 Field6 ""
8 SQLCHAR 0 50 "," 7 Field7 ""
9 SQLCHAR 0 50 "n" 8 Field8 ""
The bcp call would be as follows
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsBinn>bcp DBA..zips in “C:zips.txt” -f “c:zip_format_file.txt” -S LKFW0133 -T
Given a successful run you should see this in command prompt after executing the statement

bcp import completed!
BULK INSERT
Next, we have BULK INSERT given the same format file from bcp
CREATE TABLE zips (
Col1 nvarchar(50),
Col2 nvarchar(50),
Col3 nvarchar(50),
Col4 nvarchar(50),
Col5 nvarchar(50),
Col6 nvarchar(50),
Col7 nvarchar(50),
Col8 nvarchar(50)
GO
INSERT INTO zips
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:Documents and SettingstkruegerMy Documentsblogcenzuszipcodeszips.txt',
FORMATFILE='C:Documents and SettingstkruegerMy Documentsblogzip_format_file.txt'
) as t1 ;
GO
That was simple enough given the work on the format file that we already did. Bulk insert isn’t as fast as bcp but gives you some freedom from within TSQL and SSMS to add functionality to the import.
SSIS
Next is my favorite playground in SSIS
We can do many methods in SSIS to get data from point A, to point B. I’ll show you data flow task and the SSIS version of BULK INSERT
First create a new integrated services project.
Create a new flat file connection by right clicking the connection managers area. This will be used in both methods
Bulk insert
You can use format file here as well which is beneficial to moving methods around. This essentially is calling the same processes with format file usage. Drag over a bulk insert task and double click it to go into the editor.
Fill in the information starting with connection. This will populate much as the wizard did.
Example of format file usage
Or specify your own details
Execute this and again, we have some data
Data Flow method
Bring over a data flow task and double click it to go into the data flow tab.
Bring over a flat file source and SQL Server destination. Edit the flat file source to use the connection manager “The file” we already created. Connect the two once they are there
Double click the SQL Server Destination task to open the editor. Enter in the connection manager information and select the table to import into.
Go into the mappings and connect the dots per say
Typical issue of type conversions is Unicode to non-unicode.
We fix this with a Data conversion or explicit conversion in the editor. Data conversion tasks are usually the route I take. Drag over a data conversation task and place it between the connection from the flat file source to the SQL Server destination.
New look in the mappings
And after execution…
SqlBulkCopy Method
Sense we’re in the SSIS package we can use that awesome “script task” to show SlqBulkCopy. Not only fast but also handy for those really “unique” file formats we receive so often
Bring over a script task into the control flow
Double click the task and go to the script page. Click the Design script to open up the code behind

How to Open Or read SQL Server log file .ldf
When ever we create database from sql server, it's create two file. (1) .mdf (2) .ldf.
I want to see what's available inside the .ldf file.
Thanks,

I am not too sure but may be the below two undocumented commands might yield the desired result.

How can I load a .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS?

I know I've REALLY struggled with this before. I just don't understand why this has to be soooooo difficult.
I can very easily do a straight Data Pump of a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a normal Excel Connection and a normal Excel Source...simply converting Unicode to DT_STR and then using an OLE DB Destination of the SQL Server Table.
If I want to make the SSIS Package a little more flexible by allowing multiple .xlsX spreadsheets to be pumped in by using a Foreach Loop Container, the whole SSIS Package seems to go to hell in a hand basket. I simply do the following...
Put the Data Flow Task within the Foreach Loop Container
Add the Variable Mapping Variable User::FilePath that I defined as a Variable and a string within the FOreach Loop Container
I change the Excel Connection and its Expression to be ExcelFilePath ==> @[User::FilePath]
I then try and change the Excel Source and its Data Access Mode to Table Name or view name variable and provide the Variable Name User::FilePath
And that's when I run into trouble...
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]:SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occured. Error code: 0x80004005.
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]: Opening a rowset for "...(the EXACT Path and .xlsx File Name)...". Check that the object exists in the database. (And I know it's there!!!)
I don't understand by adding a Foreach Loop Container to try and make this as efficient as possible has caused such an error unless I'm overlooking something. I have even tried delaying my validations and that doesn't seem to help.
I have looked hard in Google and even YouTube to try and find a solution for this but for the life of me I cannot seem to find anything on pumping a .xlsX file into SQL Server using a Foreach Loop Container.
Can ANYONE please help me out here? I'm at the end of my rope trying to get this to work. I think the last time I was in this quandry, trying to pump a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS, I actually wrote a C# Script
to write the contents of the .xlsX File into a .csv File and then Actually used the .csv File to pump the data into a SQL Server Table.
Thanks for your review and am hoping and praying for a reply and solution.

Hi ITBobbyP,
If I understand correctly, you want to load data from multiple sheets in an .xlsx file into a SQL Server table.
If in this scenario, please refer to the following tips:
The Foreach Loop container should be configured as shown below:
Enumerator: Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator
Connection String: The OLE DB Connection String for the excel file.
Schema: Tables.
In the Variable Mapping, map the variable to Sheet_Name, and change the Index from 0 to 2.
The connection string for Excel Connection Manager is the original one, we needn’t make any change.
Change Table Name or View name to the variable Sheet_Name.
If you want to load data from multiple sheets in multiple .xlsx files into a SQL Server table, please refer to following thread:

SQL Server Source and Flat File Target in OWB

Hello All,
I have a question, is it possible to have SQL Server as Source and Flat File as Target without using any intermediate Oracle table(s).
like
SQL Server --> ETL Operators --> Flat file?
as i m getting errors in data type conversions here. but if i replace flat file with Oracle table it works fine. (though i have used some conversion functions for data types as well in Flat file loading but it is giving me errors)
Thanks in advance.
Tayyeb

Yes this should be fine. Are you using the gateway to access SQLServer or code template mappings? You need to track which columns are throwing the data type conversion errors.
Cheers

Is it possible to load a dump file collected from sql server to orcle 10gR2

Hi..
As a part of data migration from legacy systems , we need to migrate only required tables from Sql server to Oracle 10gr2 .
At present client is telling that he will give it as dump file.
My question is , Is it possible to load the dump file collected from sql server to oracle 10gR2?
Thanks in advance ..

yes, it is.
Using for example SQL Developer Migration Workbench even allows you to create unload scripts for the desired SQL Server tables and it also creates the DDL scripts for you to create the Oracle tables similar to the SQL Server table AND it alows creates the SQL*Loader scripts that allow you to load the SQL Server generated dump file into the Oracle db.
Here the link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration/workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
If you do not want to use this utility, you can also use SQL*Loader to load the content of the SQL Server dump file into the Oracle database; but in this case you have to write the whole SQL*Loader control scripts on your own.

CLR to get the SQL Server Data into .CSV File

Hi,
I transformed 10 columns 1000 rows from the source table to 1 column 1000 rows in the destination table by making the comma separated columns ( Just like ..
Insert into DestinationTable
SELECT col1+','+col2 ....
FROM SourceTable
Then I want to take this column into CSV file.
I dont have the rights to command shell.
I heard that we may use CLR procedure for this. Can someone throw light?

using System;
using System.IOM
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Data.SqlTypes;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server;
public class ExportFileClass {
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure]
public static void export_file()
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(
"context connection=true"))
connection.Open();
// Operation to open file goes here.
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("SELECT col FROM YourTable");
// Consume result set and write rows.
Build this from the command line:
sn -k keypair.snk
csc /target:library /keyfile:keypair.snk exportfile.cs
Then run in SQL Server (assuming that the files are in C:\temp on the SQL
Server machine:
[sql]
USE master
go
-- To be able to create an external-access assembly, we need to load
-- the key, the assembly is signed with. The key needs a password, but we
-- don't need to know the password.
DECLARE @sql nvarchar(MAX),
@password char(40)
SELECT @password = convert(char(36), newid()) + 'Ab4?'
SELECT @sql = 'CREATE ASYMMETRIC KEY slog_loopback FROM FILE = ' +
'''C:\temp\keypair.snk'' ' +
'ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = ''' + @password + ''''
PRINT @sql
EXEC(@sql)
-- And then a login to carry the permission.
CREATE LOGIN exportfile$asymkey FROM ASYMMETRIC KEY ExportFile
GRANT EXTERNAL ACCESS ASSEMBLY TO exportfile$asymkey
go
-- Now we can go back to our regular database and create the assembly.
USE youddatabase
go
CREATE ASSEMBLY ExportFile FROM 'C:\temp\exportfile.dll'
WITH PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS
go
CREATE PROCEDURE ExportFile AS
EXTERNAL NAME ExportFile.ExportFileClass.export_file
[sql]
It is likely that you will have to do ask your DBA to do things in the
master database.

Is it possible to connect directly to a SQL Server 2005 Express MDF file? Every time I select SQL Native Client it expects me to put in a server name etc, but there is no where to put in a file name or connection string. My application connects to this file directly using this in the connection string
