SQL database size in dbacockpit
Hi,
I can see that there is "no freespace in file" in my DATA1, DATA2 and DATA3 files in my BW server. It shows Red in DBACOCKPIT.
1) Should I create a new datafile BWXDATA4 ?
2) Or, Should I increase the size of the existing DATA1, DATA2, DATA3 files?
Can some one please advise?
Environment is Netweaver 7.0 on Windiws 2003 / MS SQL 2005
Thanks!
Hi,
Create a new datafile DATA4 rather then increasing the datafile size.
because the datafiles should not be heavy there is lot of scope to reduce the performance of the system and big datafiles can create lot of issues while restoring to other systems as well.
there is no such restrictions to create new datafiles, so i will prefer creating new datafile instead of increasing the datafiles size.

Tables are deleted but database size does not change in sql server 2008r2
Hi All,
20GB Tables are deleted in my database but database size does not change and disk size showing same size.Hi ,
I have ran the Disk usage by Top Tables report and Identified couple of tables with unwanted data for last 5 years. I have deleted the data for the first 3 years and then ran the Disk usage by Top Tables report again. When I compared the report before
and after the data deletion, I have noticed certain facts which is not matching with what I know or learned from experts like you. The following are the points where I am looking for clarification:
1.Reserved (KB) has been reduced. I was expecting the data Reserved (KB) will remain the same after the data deletion.
2. The Data(KB) and Indexes(KB) fields have been reduced as expected. The Unused(KB) field have been increased as expected.
I was expecting the total of Data(KB) and Indexes(KB) field space gained will be equal to the Unused(KB) field gained after deleting the data. But that is not the case. When I deducted(subtracted) the difference in the Reserved(KB)(Difference before
and after data deletion) field from the Total of space gained from the data deletion is equal to the Unused(KB) gained field value.
I am not a SQL expert and not questioning but trying to understand whether we really gain space by deleting data from the tables. Also keen to get the concepts right, but my testing by deleting some records confused me.
Looking ahead to all your expert advice.
Thanks,

How to reduce the database size based on MS SQL/Oracle?
Hi,
I had deleted severy clients via SCC5, but the database size is more and more bigger. Do you know how to reduce the database size.
my platform is: NT, MS SQL 2005
NT, Oracle 10.2
Best Regards,
Simon ShenHi Simon,
In the case of SQL you need to check how many space free you have in your datafiles and the based on that you need to Shrink them using DBCC SHRINKFILE command.
Find a couple of reference docs here,
http://www.intermedia.net/support/kb/default.asp?id=996
http://doc.ddart.net/mssql/sql70/dbcc_21.htm
Also i'm pretty sure that if your check the properties of the datafiles in MSSQL Enterprise Manager you get a "Shrink" option.

Best size for VM SQL Server for a start or maybe Azure SQL Database?
Hello Everyone,
My question is quite general but some of You may have already considered similar issues. Let's say or assume I have the website and mobile application - social kind - used by:
1. 10 K users
2. 100 K users
3. 1 K K users
4. 20 K K users MAX
I am strongly considering use of VM SQL Server mostly because of its PARTITIONING functionality, some advantages in the context of INDEXING compared to Azure SQL Database and JOBs availibility.
Question: what would be the best size and count of VMs related to SQL Server for the start and later?
Question 2 - I am able to move JOBs functionality to my Worker role if I wanted to consider use of Azure SQL Database. SQL Server still has at least those 2 advantages (Partitioning, better Indexing) - is it worth considering Azure SQL Database service for
100 K users and more?
Regards,Hello Jambor,
Considering the number of users i wouldnt recommend an Azure SQL database, because of certain limitations like Max worker threads, Max sessions, etc. Also the maximum size of the database can be 500GB.
Please refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn741336.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn369873.aspx for the Azure SQL database options and limitations.
If your application needs to scale-out, Azure SQL Databases are recommended. If it needs scaling-up - then the choice is SQL Server on Azure VM. Please refer http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2012/06/26/data-series-sql-server-in-windows-azure-virtual-machine-vs-sql-database/
and http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/data-management-azure-sql-database-and-sql-server-iaas/ for comparison.
If you already have your application running successfully on your on-premise server, you could use a similar machine on Azure for hosting your SQL server instance. The options are at http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/. You could
start with a SQL Server enterprise edition on an A3 VM and then scale-up as needed.

SQL azure database size not dropping down after deleting all table
Dear all,
I have a simple database on Azure for which I have deleted all table data. The size of the database is still showing 5Mb of data and I am charge for that. I have heard that this may happen from cluster index getting fragmented.
I have run a querry I found on internet on all my table index to show percentage of fragmentation and all report 0%.
DBA is not so my job but what could it be or how can I reduce that size ?
ON premise I would use COMPACT DB but not available in azure like some others DB action
Thnaks for tips
regardsuser created objects/data are not the only ones stored in your database. you got system objects and metadata as Mike mentions above.
are you trying to skip being charged if you're not storing data? looking at the pricing table, you'll still get charged the $4.995 for the 0-100MB database size range. -
How to get the database size of several system
Hi
We've got a lot of database system on our landscape. I want to make a simple report to get the size the all our database on a weekly base.
I try to get a RZ20 value on it without succes.
Do you know a sql request that i could launch on all my database to get this information ? i did'nt find any V$^view with this information.
thanks for your help
florent"The database size" can be
- the total size
- the filled size
- the filled size without undo/temp
You can use DBACOCKPIT to centrally manage multiple instance and check the sizes.

Advise on SQL database process
Dear all,
We have build our own product CMS platform configuration which is running on SQL server and CMS web site link to it.
We will lauch our product soon but need to identify the correct hosting plan for not having any further issue.
For exemple for now all is hosted in our company azure account with a Standard Basic 5 DTU's.
When we go in production we can expect some connection and big amount of data on our database.
My question are as follow :
- Does using a single database storage for my potential Customers would be enough ?
- How should I plan backup efficiently ?
- Should I plan a safety replication process somewhere in azure or duplicate the storage in order to switch in case of lack of place ?
My concern is to avoid my database beeing full while customers increase
Thanks for your advise and help
regards
sergeHi Solatys,
- If I select by default STANDARD Azure database, which size, DTU, etc should I select ?
For this question, you may reference the below link. You can scale your Azure database performance based on the real-time requirement.
Azure
SQL Database introduces new near real-time performance metrics
- If for instance the initial URL of the web portal connected to SQL server1 has a trouble, how can I switch users transparently to a second replicated server in order that user will notify anything ?
Azure SQL Database has a built-in high availability subsystem that protects your database from failures of individual servers and devices in a datacenter. Azure SQL
Database maintains multiple copies of all data in different physical nodes located across fully independent physical sub-systems to mitigate outages due to failures of individual server components, such as hard drives, network interface adapters, or even entire
servers. At any one time, three database replicas are running—one primary replica and two or more
secondary replicas. Data is written to the primary and one secondary replica using a quorum based commit scheme before the transaction is considered committed.
If the hardware fails on the primary replica, Azure SQL Database detects the failure and fails over to the secondary replica. In case of a physical loss of a replica, a new replica is automatically created.
So there are always at minimum two physical, transactionally consistent copies of your data in the datacenter.
Azure SQL Database Business Continuity
- IF I select the Maximum size of the database, what will happen in case it will be nearly full and need to provide more space ?
Insert and update transactions that exceed the upper limit will be rejected because the database will be in read-only mode. The maximum size has been gained from 50GB to 500GB as of now, you may have no concern about it. You can
set a monitoring alertto
notify the storage utilization and CPU percentage etc.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

Updating array data in sql database
HI,
Im facing problems in updating array data in SQL database.
As of now, i am able to write an "insert" query and insert array data in an image datatype field. Im using image datatype because the array size is very big(around 80,000 x and y values).
Althoug inserting data is easy im unable to write a query to update this data.
Referring to the help of SQL server and Labview database connectivity toolkit, i came across a method of accessing image datatype....using textpointers, which are 16 bit binary values and using the WRITETEXT function instead of the UPDATE function.
but the problem im facing is that ive to pass the array as a 2d string array in the query as a result the updated array is retrieved in the form of a string a
nd not as an array. how do I get over this problem?Hi Pavitra,
I'm not very clear on how you have inserted the data into your application, but I do know that when you call the UPDATETEXT or WRITETEXT function you use the TEXTPOINTERS to point to the first location of a 1d array. So, depending on how you've stored the data, you may have problems updating your data if you're looking at it as a 1d array instead of how you originally formatted it. If you are able to successfully access the data as a 1d array, you can use the database variant to data type vi and pass in a string array constant for the data type. This will convert the variant datatype into whatever you specify. You may have to index the row and column of the variant (you receive a 2d array of variant) first before you convert. If possible, can yo
u provide some more detail and maybe some example code of how you perform the insert and plan to do the update? I can probably give you a better solution if I know how you are formatting the data. Thanks!

How can I insert an image(JPG) into a SQL database?
I have written an application to perform some tests in the lab. After gathering the data I store it into a SQL Server. I successfully managed to export all my raw numbers and calculations to the DB. However I have not been able to export a screenshot of the Front panel. I can write the screenshot to a JPG file just fine. The problem is putting the image (binary data) into the DB.
So from what work I've managed to do, two questions come to mind:
1) Is there a way to compress the screenshot, using standard JPG compression, without actually writing out to a file. ie: Just have a binary stream of the compressed image that I can write to the SQL database.
2) Even if I don't use compression, I can't write any kind of data that appears as an image. What kind of data do I need to be writing from LabView to store it properly in an 'image' or 'binary' type field in a SQL database? I am not looking for answer "binary data." Nor do I want the answer that is stated in the Help file for the DB Connectivity Toolkit(type - Data Cluster). What I need is to know what kind of conversions I need to do on the image data that comes out of the FP.GetScaledImage.
I am using LabView 8.0 and have the Database connectivity toolkit. We are running SQL Server 2000 and 2005.I also hit this limit. In the end I just wrote the JPGs to disk, and stored the file path in the DB. Not the ideal solution, I know.
I'm trying to remember now, exactly what the problem was. You're right to say the image data type should handle up to 2GB. I think in the end, it was an issue of the LabView toolkit not playing well with newer versions of SQL Server, which have the image type. Re-reading the error though, it sounds like it might be an issue with the ODBC driver. FYI, 8KB used to be the max size for the largest types in SQL Server (I think binary in 2000). I suspect this limit was coded into the driver or LabView, and can't handle the newer, larger types.
That being said, the LabView DB toolkit was either written poorly or written a long time ago. It has issues with generating SQL queries that have the proper quotes. For example, if your column names have spaces in them, the toolkit will be unable to generate a valid query, without some modification of the toolkit *.vi's. Images in a database is not a new concept and not new to me. I've never used a language where it was more complicated or difficult to get working. Unless you absolutely have to, I'd work out a way to just store the JPGs to disk, with the path in the DB. Spending too much time on this defeats the purpose of using LabView.
If NI decides to update the DB toolkit, then it might be worth giving it a try again.
In case any NI people are reading this, this is a not so subtle hint that you need to update the DB toolkit to support modern DB features. Especially, if NI is charging $1000 for it. -
Displaying the data from a "LINQ to SQL database"
I have created a LINQ to SQL database with a simple table/class with the following properties:
Counter
Subject
Description
About the Counter, how do I set the properties so it behaves like a "Counter". For each row I want it to automatically add new numbers like this:
1 Subject1 Decsription1
2 Subject2 Description2
3 Subject3 Description3...and so on for every new data inserted.
For now I have "Auto Generated Value=True" and "Primary Key=True". Is that the right way to go? What do I set for "Auto-Sync"? There are options like "Never, OnInsert, OnUpdate, Always".
I believe I've manage to do the coding for the insert part:
private void btnAddReminder_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
DataClasses1DataContext db = new DataClasses1DataContext("db");
Reminders reminder = new Reminders();
reminder.Subject = txtSubject.Text;
reminder.Description = txtDescription.Text;
db.Reminders.InsertOnSubmit(reminder);
MessageBox.Show("Content added!");
Now first of all, is there a way I can display the database content directly in Visual Studio so I can see if I've manage to add any content in the table? I haven't yet find a way so far.
Second how do I get the content from the datatable row by row and display it in MainWindow.xaml? What would the code look like? For every row I would like it to be displayed like this:
1. Subject1
Description1
2. Subject2
Description2
3. Subject3
Description3
Is it possible to display "1. Subject1" in a Label. It should be sort of a headline.
Then would it be possible to display "Description1" in a TextBlock?
The idea is that Subject along with the number should have a larger font size, and the Description shoud be a bit smaller font size.
>>For now I have "Auto Generated Value=True" and "Primary Key=True". Is that the right way to go?
Yes, this means that the database takes care of the actual incrementation for you which is perfectly fine and probably what you want.
>>how do I get the content from the datatable row by row and display it in MainWindow.xaml
You need to an ItemsControl that can render all items in a collection somewhere in the MainWindow, e.g.:
<ItemsControl x:Name="ic">
<ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0 0 0 10">
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Counter}"/>
<TextBlock Text=". "/>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Subject}"/>
</StackPanel>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Description}"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
</ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
The ItemTemplate (DataTemplate) of the ItemsControl defines the appearance of each item in its ItemsSource collection, i.e. a Reminders object in your case.
You then simply set the ItemsSource of the ItemsControl to the collection of Reminders object that you want to display in it in your code:
private void btnAddReminder_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
DataClasses1DataContext db = new DataClasses1DataContext("db");
Reminders reminder = new Reminders();
reminder.Subject = txtSubject.Text;
reminder.Description = txtDescription.Text;
db.Reminders.InsertOnSubmit(reminder);
MessageBox.Show("Content added!");
ic.ItemsSource = db.Reminders;
>>is there a way I can display the database content directly in Visual Studio so I can see if I've manage to add any content in the table?
First of all, please don't ask several questions in the same thread. Second, this is not a WPF question. If you are using a service-based database, you could select data from it from the Server Explorer in Visual Studio:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms233763(v=vs.120).aspx. Otherwise you typically use SQL Sever Management Studio to query a database. For Visual Studio specific questions, please use the Visual Studio forums:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?category=visualstudio%2Cvsarch%2Cvsdbg%2Cvstest%2Cvstfs%2Cvsdata%2Cvsappdev%2Cvisualbasic%2Cvisualcsharp%2Cvisualc

Hi,
I have a problem to transfer a XML file content to a MS SQL database by a given/fixed stored procedure. I'm able to transfer the content of the file by using following method ...
hstmt = DBPrepareSQL (hdbc, EXEC usp_InsertReport '<Report> ..... </Report>');
resCode = DBExecutePreparedSQL (hstmt);
resCode = DBClosePreparedSQL (hstmt);
... but in this case I'm not able to fetch the return value of the stored procedure!
I have tried to follow the example of the stored procedure in the help documentation (DBPrepareSQL) but I miss a datatype for xml?!?
Any idea how to solve my problem?
KR Cake
Solved!
Go to Solution.After some additional trials I found a solution by calling the stored procedure in this way
DBSetAttributeDefault (hdbc, ATTR_DB_COMMAND_TYPE, DB_COMMAND_STORED_PROC);
DBPrepareSQL (hdbc, "usp_InsertReport");
DBCreateParamInt (hstmt, "", DB_PARAM_RETURN_VALUE, -1);
DBCreateParamChar (hstmt, "XMLCONTENT", DB_PARAM_INPUT, sz_Buffer, (int) strlen(sz_Buffer) + 1 );
DBExecutePreparedSQL (hstmt);
DBClosePreparedSQL (hstmt);
DBGetParamInt (hstmt, 1, &s32_TestId);
where sz_Buffer is my xml file content and s32_TestID the return value of the stored procdure (usp_InsertReport(@XMLCONTENT XML))
Now I face the problem, that DBCreateParamChar limits the buffer size to 8000 Bytes.
Any idea to by-pass this shortage?? -
Which is better for performance Azure SQL Database or SQL Server in Azure VM?
Hi,
We are building an ASP.NET app that will be running on Microsoft Cloud which I think is the new name for Windows Azure. We're expecting this app to have many simultaneous users and want to make sure that we provide excellent performance to end users.
Here are our main concerns/desires:
Performance is paramount. Fast response times are very very important
We want to have as little to do with platform maintenance as possible e.g. managing OS or SQL Server updates, etc.
We are trying to use "out-of-the-box" standard features.
With that said, which option would give us the best possible database performance: a SQL Server instance running in a VM on Azure or SQL Server Database as a fully managed service?
Thanks, Samhello,
SQL Database using shared resources on the Microsft data centre. Microsoft balance the resource usage of SQL Database so that no one application continuously dominates any resource.You can try the
Premium Preview
for Windows Azure SQL Database which offers better performance by guaranteeing a fixed amount of dedicated resources for a database.
If you using SQL Server instance running in a VM, you control the operating system and database configuration. And the
performance of the database depends on many factors such as the size of a virtual machine, and the configuration of the data disks.

Hello Experts,
I have complex Biz Talk 2013 farm having 20 servers,15 Hosts. In my production environment even if there is no traffic i am getting throttling errors from SCOM for my all the production hosts.
Error : One of the BizTalk Server processes in the affected computer is being throttled for significant
periods because of high database size exceeding the threshold
I checked following things:
1. MsgBoxDB size 748732 KB
2. Spool table size 53 MB
3. Tracking DB size 26724 KB
4. Host settings -- Message Queue Size = 100, MsgCount = 50000 , Spool MP = 10 , Tracking MP = 10
5. Ran Message Box viewer and did not found any error related to DB size. (which counter i should focus on in MBV)
Note -- for DB i am sharing full backup size because it does not have log file size.
Please suggest where i should focus?
Is SCOM reporting correctly because everything is fine in biztalk ?
Thanks

https://www.mcpvirtualbusinesscard.com/VBCServer/card.aspx?tag=YagyaDattMishra&wa=wsignin1.0Hi Yagyam
I remember this error from SCOM when you use the standard SCOM BizTalk pack.
Check the eventlog of the server, do you see any errors in event log, this could give some clue to the root cause. Whenever you have this alert from SCOM, you must have
some entries in eventlog relating to the alert raised by SCOM.
Is your message processing by BizTalk hosts are normal? Run the performance monitor to see the bottleneck. Check if there is really throttling.
As mentioned in this blog, check the state of the SQL Agent on BizTalk's SQL database server, may be try restart the SQL Agent on BizTalk's SQL database server.

Deleting old data won't reduce Windows Azure SQL Database usage
My Windows Azure SQL Database usage keeps increasing. Deleting old data didn't help much. I was wondering how to figure out the distribution of the usage. All tables in my DB should not occupy more than 5GB and now it is most 12GB. Please help!
http://yanflex.comHello,
The database fee is amortized over the month and charged daily. The daily fee depends on the peak size that each database reached that day and the maximum number of databases you use. So, if the peak size of database is 12 GB and then you delete data
to reduce the size, it still charge based on 12GB this day.
You can use the following statement to get the database size:
SELECT SUM(reserved_page_count)*8.0/1024 as DBsizeinMB
FROM sys.dm_db_partition_stats;
