Very Very Urgent....Tempdb Full...Not able to open server from Enterprize Manager or Management Studio

  • Very Very Urgent....Tempdb Full...Not able to open server from Enterprize Manager or Management Studio..Any ideas what to do:hehe:

  • stop your sqlserver

    delete the tempdb.mdf under your program files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.x\MSSQL\data folder

    restart your sqlserver

    this will recreate the tempdb back to the initial size by default (8MB) if you didn't change the default size.

  • hey before you delete tempdb, take a backup of it, and then delete.

    Thanks!

    There's no reason to delete anything. Restarting the service will resize tempdb to whatever the starting size is set to. You start out with a "clean" tempDB every time....

    Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?

  • Follow Matt's advice. Dont' delete anything.

    Can you connect with iqsl and do a dbcc opentran in tempdb?
