tempdb full
Hello All,
Over the past couple of weeks – I’ve had tempdb fill up twice on MIS. The only way I know to fix this problem is to load a backup onto MIS.
1. Is there a way of clearing down tempdb without restoring from backup?
2. Alternatively can tempdb be expanded?
I’ve been running some hefty SQLs through the WORK_SUBFIELD or the LOAN tables and I’m sure that these have filled up tempdb. Consequently the contents of this database aren’t needed.
Thanks
Chris
Re: tempdb full
Hi Chris,
1. Yes, tempdb is cleared down when Sybase is restarted. So since it's the MIS Server you can simply stop and start Sybase.
2. Tempdb can be expanded (it should be at least 200mb). You can use sp_helpdb to check. If it needs to be bigger I would suggest you log a call with Client Services.
Can I also suggest you direct future posts to the appropriate section of the Discussion Area.
Thanks,
Jim

Hello Jim,
Thanks for your reply. I have already got Talis Support to expand tempdb.
All the best
