And this make the application too slow and then the reports take long time to generate.

Sql server doesn’t give any error but when stop and start the service it goes good till many reports genarated again.

I think i have problem in the tempdb.

Tempdb is auto grow and there is much disk space .about 40GB.

and its size about 200MG.

Please help ? what to do ? I trying to solve the issue since weeks…????

The Superspeed product is kind of expensive, so I was thinking of using the QSoft software.

I just ordered the additional memory last week, so I haven’t had a chance to get this setup yet. I can post a follow-up once I’ve gotten my feet wet with this a bit.

In addition to moving tempdb to a ramdrive I was also considering adding 3 additional files since my server is using two quad-core processors.

thanks…

how am i going to move the tempdb without using script? i am using mssql server 2005 sp3?

im a rookie in mssql

thanks…

1) Right click one particular database

2) Select detach

4) Go to folder where that particular database mdf and ldf
files are present

5) delete only the ldf file

6) Right click Databases in object explorer window of Sql server management studio. (Databases) is present as first item in the tree.

7) Click Attach…

8) Click Add…

9) GO to same database mdf file whose ldf you just deleted
in the locate database files window just opened
after clicking add button.

10) Two row gets just visible one for mdf other for ldf i.e. log file ,——–Click the log file row….2′nd row———–

11) Click the remove button

12) 2′nd row disappears

13) Click ok

By following above steps you delete old log files having size in giga bytes .

And allow the system to create a new log file for you of size
less than 600 KB

I have recovered 20 gb disk space by using this technique
on 7 databases

2) Move tembdb to a drive having enough disk space
say d:/ by writing sql script

USE master
GO
ALTER DATABASE TempDB MODIFY FILE
(NAME = tempdev, FILENAME = ‘d:datatempdb.mdf’)
GO
ALTER DATABASE TempDB MODIFY FILE
(NAME = templog, FILENAME = ‘d:datatemplog.ldf’)
GO

3) Close Sql server management studio.

4) Go to location

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA

5) delete tempdb’s mdf & ldf files from above location.

6) Open Sql server management studio.

Yousuf Khan by deleting the files, do you mean removing the actual files called tempdb and templog from in the Data folder? If so would this cause a negative effect on the database ie something would stop working?

If you want to regain your disk space tempdb is using
simply stop the MSSQLSERVER Service from the Sql Server Configuration Manager next delete the tempdb mdf & ldf
files from

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA

Now restart the MSSQLSERVER Service from the Sql Server Configuration Manager

your disk space is free

Same problem – been throwing resources at it like crazy. Current config: SQL2008 64-bit, 250GB of TEMPDB across 2 drives, 24 cores, but I still keep filling tempDB… by Database isnt even that big. What could I be doing wrong?

Thankyou

I am new in SqlServer.My application is running on sqlserver2000 with Windows2003 platform.I have some performance issue with my application.I know this is because of using many temporary table.Now we are not able to change the code of application.
Is it an solution to increasing the size of tempdb.If yes,How can we traced out the actual root cause of increasing tempdb size.Any script for that purpose would be appreciated.Also guide me how can I add datafile with the existing tempdb.

Thanks in advance

I have SQL server 2000 enterprise installed.
The size of the tempdb mdf is 982mb and tempdb log 16mb.
There was enough space and the options are already set as you suggested.
Still it was giving the same message and not growing above this size.
The recovery model of my tempdb is SIMPLE and I was not able to set it to FULL.
Finally I tried explicitly setting the size of tempdb log to 100mb.
Then it simply worked.

My question is is there any limit for the size of this log file?
Why I am not able to change the recovery model of tempdb ?

thanks & regards

Right click database -> all task -> detach.

once you detach you cannot see that database any more in the database list.

move .mdf and .ldf files of the database you just detached from old location ( c:\drive) to new location (d:\drive).

now go to server again, right click on databases -> attach ,select the new location of the files. click ok,

Your database is ready and now the database files are in new d drive.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Imran.

I like your website, articles, blog…. everything.
