Rollback process slow

  • We ran DELETE process and later killed it. Now, we have a rollback process that is taking a very long time (estimated 14 hours) in SQL Server 2000 with SP4. The Tlog is 33 GB size. Is there a way to stop it? Thanks!

  • Yes, but it'll have to complete at the next server startup so you're pretty much screwed... unless you have a full backup of the db that can be restored faster and also the rollback canceled at the next restart??

  • Hi Carl,

     

    As u had written that rollback takes more than 14 hours it seems that u have millions of records.

    u can issue the truncate command to drop the table with records it will faster but u cannot recover it because it is not written in   tlog file.

    hope this helps

  • Well it's minimally logged so it can be rolled back... if you don't overwrite the datapages with new data.
