"Primary " filegroup is full HELP

  • I am using SQL 2000 and last night a DTS package failed with the below error:

    Could not allocate space for object "dbo.table" in database 'tom' because the "Primary" filegroup is full.

    When I look at the properties of the database I see the following:

    Size: 10018.75 MB

    Space Available: 439.00 MB

    The log files are set like this:

    Data : Initial Size = 5495 Autogrowth by 10%,unrestricted growth

    LOG: Initial Size = 4524 Autogrowth by 10%,unrestricted growth

    Let me know if anyone knows how to fix this!

  • Is the physical hard drive full ?

    You fix it by freeing up space. Either non-SQL files on the drive, or shrinking Log or Data files on that drive. Shrinking is not recommened in general, but better than having an inaccessible database.

    What is the DTS package doing ?

  • I have 63.8 GB free on the physical drive. I am pulling and converting data from and oracle database into my SQL database.

  • Is there a disk quota in place?

  • Anything useful in SQL or Windows error logs ? Any chance the disk was full at the time, but has free space now ?

  • Do you know the size estimate of the data that you are trying to move from Oracle into SQL2K?

  • perhaps the data plus tempdb is greater than the free space. It can help to set the batch size of imports in DTS.
