Hi all, I have a tempdb that consists of 8 datafiles, tempdb_data_1 to
tempdb_data_8, each is 8GB. Now how can I drop 7 of them and leave
only tempdb_data_1? Can this be done? Thanks a lot.

I've tried this:
use tempdb
go
dbcc shrinkfile(temp dev4, emptyfile)
go
alter database tempdb
remove file tempdev4
go
then it gives something like this:
Server: Msg 5042, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The file 'tempdev4' cannot be removed because it is not empty.
File 'E:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\da ta\tempdev4.ndf ' modified in
sysaltfiles. Delete old file after restarting SQL Server.
Don't know what does this mean. Does it mean that the file will be
dropped after I restarted the server?

I don't know, but why not give it a try?
If this is a production machine, you may want to first play with a
test server, to see the effects of the commands.

Hello,
I would like to know is it possible to disable drop database for sa
or sysadmin. If saor sysadmin needs to drop the database , he/she may
have to change status in one of the system tables (sysdatabases ?) and
then only database can be dropped . This is to avoid dropping the
database by mistake by sa.
In books online under drop database
System databases (msdb, master, model, tempdb) cannot be dropped

We had someone create an extra data file and log file for tempdb. So
we currently have two data files and two log files. Is it possible to
delete the newly created data and log files? If I just delete the
physical files, I assume they'll get created as soon as SQL Server
gets started back up. Any help would be great, since a single data
and log file for tempdb is my goal.
Thanks much.

Something strange is happening to our SQL Server DB (2000). The
tempdb transaction log file continues to grow (quite slowly) for no
apparent reason. We have it in simple mode, and I have tried a manual
checkpoint command and manual shrink (of the log file only). There
are no unusual SQL's (large or small) going on. A "heavy hitter" would
make it grow fast, not 10 MB every 30 minutes or so. This server has

Hi All,
First, where can I get some questions of this sort answered?
Preferably, are there good books or online guides that I can consult for
these types of answers when necessary?
1. How do I know, when executing a query from Query Analyzer or
otherwise, how many temporary tables will be needed, and how big they
will be?
2. Where will those temporary tables be created? Always in tempdb?

Hello,
I've a couple of questions on setting up my lovely new server... I've
decided on R1 (2*36GB) for the OS, R1 (2*73GB) primarily for the Log
Files and R5 (5*73GB) for the Data files.
I was wondering if I could increase performance by partitioning off/
creating a new volume on my log array and placing on there the tempdb
and possibly another volume for the indexes.ndf.
Any ideas on whether its OK to have other volumes use the same...

Just a quicky about temporarary tables. If using QA, when you create a
temporary table, it gets dropped if you close the query. Otherwise you
need to state 'DROP TABLE myTable' so that you can re-run the query
without the table being there.
Sometimes, you can have quite lengthy SQL statements (in a series)
with various drop table sections throughout the query. Ideally you
would put these all at the end, but sometimes you will need to...

Hi,
The tempdb file on one of our servers grew very large and used all
available disk space. This is SQL Server 2000 SP4. I have installed
hotfix version 8.00.2187. I opened a profiler trace but can't still get
to the root of the problem. Any help will be appreciated.

REGARDING TEMP DB SIZE:
-For a small db server that does about 10-20 GB of logging per day, I
would recommend having a size that does not go through AUTO_GROW. i.e
ensure that the size of tempdb is big enough that it will hold the
whole days work.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
