DataBase Space

Hello, All!
I'm creating a script to collect DataBase Space used and DataBase space Total
and after that I will store this information in a table in my SQL Server.
I've tryed using sp_spaceused but I don't know how to use the result of this
StoreProcedure.
If anyone know how to get this information using either sp_spaceused results
or t-sql script example, it would be great for me.
Thanks

Why don't you look at the source code for sp_spaceused and adapt it for your
own needs?
|||Use the undocumented command DBCC ShowFileStats. It supports the WITH
TABLERESULTS option so you can dump the data into a table and work with it.

Database Size

If I'm creating a db from an inport, and I know it will be large (400 gig),
is it faster to create the DB that size, or create a 1 gig DB and let it
auto grow by 1 gig at a time when it needs it during the import?
Or would it take the same amount of time?Steve wrote:

If you plan to keep this database for a while, I would create it all at
one time. Your import will run faster, and, assuming you can create the
initial file as one contiguous file, you won't have disk fragmentation
to worry about later.

Overall, the entire growth + import process will probably take as long
as just initially creating the database that size. Fragmentation
resulting from the constant addition of 1GB chunks would be your concern
if you let it auto-grow. You'll end up with chunks of the database
scattered all over the disk, causing additional disk overhead when
retrieving data.

Probably not, because you're still initializing the same amount of
space. If you could create them simultaneously, on seperate I/O
channels, then yes.

Hi,
I have create Database with size 200 md and 40 mb for mdf and ldf

database role secureables not shows up

Hello!

After creating a new database role I have add some permissions. Now, when I want to view the role an the permissions the secureables page are empty.

This problem is only within the management studio. If I use Enterprise Manager I can see that the changes are taking effect.

Any hints?

Lutz

I see the same, I will open a bug on this.

If you would like to know whether the the permissions are granted to an object, right click the object and select ->Properties and view the permissions tab

Thanks,

Database Question

Is there a minimum number of operating system files you need when creating a database in 2005?

What do you mean by operating system files ?

Jens K. Suessmeyer.

http://www.sqlserver2005.de|||If by OS files, you mean, what is the minimun number of files required for a SQL Server database, the answer is two; a datafile and a transaction log file.|||If you are talking about installation then it requires some system files which may be found in .net framework. otherwise your question seems unclear. Please specify what you r trying to do actually.

Database Query... Novice Alert...No Idea Where to Turn...

Hello,

I'm creating a website for a student organization at my university. Basically, I have an Excel file with a list of contacts that the members of our organization need to be able to search on our website.

The only field that I need our members to be able to search is "contact location." So for example, a member might want to know if our organization has any contacts in Spain, so the member would type "spain" into the "contact location search" field" and would get results.

I really don't known where to turn... I need the easiest thing that would be manageable for a novice. It doesn't need to be an intense search function; just something to make the website functional (so it obviously needs to be uploadable to a server; the server has PHP capability...no idea if that has any relevance). I've been searching around all day and have come across potentials like PHP, SQL, XML, etc. but have no idea which way to turn... I have Office and Adobe Studio programs at my disposal.

Thank you all-powerful and all-knowing web gods! I owe you my deepest gratitude!

Mikey
:beer:Start by finding out what type of resources you have at your disposal for the university. Whether you use ASP/ASP.NET/PHP/MYSQL/MSSQL will likely determine the appropriate choice. From there you'll have at least a starting point.

Database or Server?

I am creating a site where users can create blogs and upload photos etc...I
just realized that my hosting account with GoDaddy has a 100 MB limit on the
SQL Server database...due to that I decided to store all photos on the serve
r
and just store the file path in the database...is that a good idea?
Also, what should I do with my blog entries? Should I store them as Text in
the database or should I create them as files on the server similar to the
photos?
Does anybody know if there are any hosting plans with a higher database
limit (for .NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2000/2005)? Or do I need to get a
dedicated server for that?>I am creating a site where users can create blogs and upload photos etc...I

YES! Disk space for files is cheaper and much more efficient, with the only
real cost being losing the ability to backup all the files in the same
"transaction" so to speak as backing up the data.

Well, for 100 MB, let's say the average blog entry is 5K, that's 200
entries. So, do you expect to have 100 users with one blog entry each per
day? If so, you're out of space after 2 days. And that's without taking
away from the space required by the entries for photos, comments, member
information etc.

If you're sharing a SQL Server database server with other clients, there is
always going to be a threshold. It sounds like you need a more
comprehensive solution.|||Hi Swami,
I'd go with photos on the server and blog entries in the database. I don't
know about hosting plans.

You're right, my decimal places were off, I did 1 MB instead of 10 MB. My
point remains intact (you get a longer lead time to find a bigger area for
your data).|||On Tue, 25 Apr 2006 09:53:01 -0700, Ryan Randall

No, but what are a few decimal places among friends? Just shift it

Roy Harvey
Beacon Falls, CT|||200 * 5K = 1000K = 1MB
so you would have space for 200,000 blog entries of 5K each.
On a completely unrelated note:
In 1870 Dr. E. von Wolf published a study on spinach and misplaced the
decimal point regarding the iron content. As a result he reported that the
content was 10 times higher than it actually is. Thw mistake was not found
and corrected until 1937.
