Cant allocate space for object
I'm running mssql 6.5 and I've got a problem with a pretty basic errormessage. I've managed this scenario before, but I't doesnt seem to work this time...
The message is:
Can't allocate space for object '-482' in database 'tempdb' because the 'system' segment is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of the segment. (Message
What I've done so far is:
dump transaction tempdb with truncate_only
Dump master ...
I've expanded the tempdb device (alter database)
Now I'm starting to run out of ideas...
What's this '-482' (I've also got an error on -386 once)
Anybody have any idea what to do next?
Thanks!!That is the ObjectId of the table in the database.

Cannot Upgrade MSDE 2000 Sp3 to SP4
Hi!
Here's the scenario:
I have a MSDE 2000 installation running, already patched to SP3. Instancename is "STO". I've downloaded SQL2000.MSDE-KB884525-SP4-X86-ENU.exe and extracted the archive to C:\SQL2KSP4.
After starting setup from the command prompt with "setup /upgradesp sqlrun DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 /L*V C:\MSDELog.log" i get a message box, telling me "The product is not installed". This happens even if I specify the exact instancename and supply the sa user and pwd!
Any ideas?`
Thanks in advance and regards
Clemens
In your command line, you need to specify the instance name and sa pass word. Would you try the following command line?
start /wait setup.exe /qb INSTANCENAME=sto SAPWD="<sa pass word>" SECURITYMODE=SQL
|||Thx for your reply, but if you look at my post above, you'll see that i also tried that! ;-)

Cannot Shrink Database
We have a data modeling group in here that can grow databases to 150Gb or
200Gb.
When they have run a scenario they will get rid of lots of the data and ask
me to shrink the database for them. This usually works no problem.
Today I have 2 databases they want to shrink, both have 85 - 90 Gb free, but
when I shrink with a 10% free space option nothing happens to the size.
I am a bit hazy about the details but is it something to do with where data
gets written to?
Any ideas on how to get around this problem would be very welcome.
Thanks In AdvanceVerify that the tranlog has been backed up recently and then run
CHECKPOINT against the database. This will force all of the dirty and
log pages that haven't been written to get written. Most likely there
is a dirty page preventing the database from shrinking any further than
it has.
