  • RE: Database suspended-Need help

    No idea, because I'm still not sure what you're referring to.

    Suspended is not a state for a database. (Online, restoring, recovering, recovery_pending, suspect, emergency and offline are)

    Where did you see...

  • RE: Backup fails, log is full

    Niyala (9/23/2010)


    I now configured the log autogrowth by 10% and unrestricted.

    Is it better to set fixed growth than unrestricted?

    Percentage growth is usually not recommended. Pick an appropriate fixed value. The...

  • RE: Trying to optimize performance of query having Hash Matches & Agreegate

    Could you possibly post the plans as .sqlplan files? http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/SQLServerCentral/66909/

  • RE: Backup fails, log is full

    I suspect it has to do with the limited size of the log, the duration of the backup and the activity.

    Because the full backup needs to include all of the...

  • RE: Backup fails, log is full

    Run DBCC SQLPERF(LogSpace), see what the % used is.

    How big's the log? Is there a max size set for it? Is it on a drive with little free space?

    How long...

    Simple recovery does not mean that the log will not grow. It does not mean that the log will never fill. It only means that log backups are not required...

    But his results did get better after removing 90% of the data.

    4GB is not particularly large for a log file for an 80GB database. Why are you finding it hard to manage?

    with bulk logged recovery mode, I lost point in time recovery

    There's no way to turn logging off for any operation in SQL. Everything has to be logged. That said, stats updates shouldn't log very much. That's why I'm wondering if...
