  • RE: Shrink File made File Bigger ?!?!

    golden (7/20/2009)I think you should set your recovery model of the database into "simple" recovery instead of "full" mode.

    :ermm:

    Oh dear! There's that horrible piece of advice again. It's almost like...

  • RE: how to reduce tempdb size in production in ms sql

    Hi!

    Why do you need to reduce the size of tempdb?

    I mean, what exactly is happening and why is the size of tempdb a problem?

    I don't know of any...

  • RE: TRN Log File Size Assistance

    Shrinking the log every night sounds like terrible advice to me. More likely than not, the file will just have to grow again the next day and you'll only end...

  • RE: TRN Log File Size Assistance

    Cathy DePaolo (7/16/2009)


    I just wanted to post an update. I did shrink the log file and it is now around 48GB. I'll go through our other databases and...

  • RE: SQl Server 2008 to 2005 conversion

    Whooops... You generally can't restore a database from a newer SQL Server version to an older one because the system objects of the newer SQL Server database are incompatible with...

  • RE: Want to setup job to delete backup files on particular path older than n days from SQL Server 2000 Server

    Are you using the built-in Database Maintenance Plan feature to make these backups ?

    If so, on the "Complete backup" or "Transaction log backup" sheet of the maintenance plan, simply check...

  • RE: Offline, Online and Single-User mode while restoration

    Actually, you do not need to delete the older database in order to restore a new one from production - you can simply restore and overwrite what's already there. (RESTORE...

  • RE: PAGEIOLATCH waiting on CXPACKET

    Ah, you're right, of course!

    I should have said something more along the lines of "when updating, indexes may slow things down", then specified what I meant and how to avoid...

  • RE: PAGEIOLATCH waiting on CXPACKET

    Michael Crider (5/1/2007)


    This seems to happen when updating 2 very large tables (over 2 million)by joining them together. My process waits on a PAGEIOLATCH and goes to sleep and SQL...

  • RE: My maintenance plan - ok?

    Yes, it should, although I generally don't run full backups more often than once a day myself.

    Basically, as long as it meets your needs, it's fine. 😉

  • RE: Recover deleted records

    vicky_j77 (10/12/2008)


    I dont have any backup.

    Oh dear, oh dear and INDEED oh DEAR!!!

    I have nothing to offer except what's already been posted. Sorry.

    Assuming the data is lost, your best bet...

  • RE: My maintenance plan - ok?

    Quicker to back up, yes, but not quicker to restore. You'll need your full backup from last Sunday and your latest diff backup - as opposed to just a full...

  • RE: Shrinking the log file

    To this I can add that doing a regular log backup (ie. without truncate_only) does exactly the same thing - except that inactive log entries are backed up rather than...

  • RE: Transaction Log growing

    Well, gee - oooops, it seems my information about differential backups was somewhat inaccurate then. (Thanks Gail for pointing that out.:P) A differential backup is a backup of all pages...

  • RE: Transaction Log growing

    los (9/22/2008)


    I too am an "accidental/involuntary DBA" facing similar issues as the OP. After considering our company's tolerance for data loss, I decided to go with Simple recovery, daily full...
