DB available space ZERO!!!

  • Hi SQL Server Central peeps ...

    I have 2 DB's with DB available space ==> 0.00MB issue

    Both have 9 user created file groups with 9 data files.

    Primary file group ...

    Auto Growth by 10 percent and unrestricted growth on all files including log file.

    Log file and DB files drives all have 30GIG Plus space available ...

    DB size is 6GIGs ...

    DB status is normal

    Recovery model is SIMPLE

    Database Read-Only ==> False

    Why is the Space avaialble 0.00Mb's ???

    What am I missing here???

  • Did you check if your HD is full?

    Did you check if your t-log file space is used or just needs to be shrink?

    Did you try to shrink t-log files?

    Did you check activity monitor for open transactions which might cause not shrinkable t-log files?

  • Have you tried running UPDATE USAGE to see if it's just telling you the wrong information?

    Hi Guys Thanx ...

    Googled the problem and did a DBCC UPDATEUSAGE on the Dev DB 1st ...

    It updated most if not all the indexes on the DB and the space available issue is now resolved :-D:-D

    Thanx for your responses Peeps ;-);-)

  • No problem, I run UPDATEUSAGE every night as I get stats for the database sizes etc so need them to be accurate but it's worth running this on a regular basis on all your databases.
