function Invoke-DBSafeShrink { <# .SYNOPSIS Shrinks a Sql Server mdf database file without fragmenting the indexes. .DESCRIPTION Shrinks a Sql Server mdf database file without fragmenting the indexes. Can be used to migrate indexes to a new filegroup, or just shrink and move the indexes back to the original filegroup after the shrink is done. Typically runs faster than a normal shrink operation. IMPORTANT: The second file that gets created will match the used size of the original filegroup. You must have enough disk space to support this. Wrote this after I read this post by Paul Randal: https://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/paul/why-you-should-not-shrink-your-data-files/ I always knew shrinking was very bad, but until I read these comments by Paul my brain never clicked that there could be a better way: QUOTE (Paul Randal): The method I like to recommend is as follows: - Create a new filegroup - Move all affected tables and indexes into the new filegroup using the CREATE INDEX … WITH (DROP_EXISTING = ON) ON syntax, to move the tables and remove fragmentation from them at the same time - Drop the old filegroup that you were going to shrink anyway (or shrink it way down if its the primary filegroup) - Move the indexes back to the original filegroup if desired (added by me :)) This script automates those steps so you don't have to. .PARAMETER ServerInstance The sql server instance to connect to. .PARAMETER Databases The databases to shrink. A string array. .PARAMETER Credentials Specifies credentials to connect to the database with. If not supplied then a trusted connection will be used. .PARAMETER FileGroupName The file group name to shrink. Defaults to PRIMARY. It does not matter if there are multiple mdf or ldf files assigned. .PARAMETER NewFileDirectory If passed, then this will be the directory that the new temporary file will be created in. Otherwise it will default to the same directory as the primary file. This directory will be created if it does not exist. If it already exists, then nothing happens. If the path is a local path, then the directory will be created on the server using xp_create_sub directory. NOTES: - The drive must exist, else an exception will occur - The SQL Server account must have write access to the target folder, else an exception will occur .PARAMETER Direction If the direction is twoway then the the indexes are moved to the temporary file and back after the original file is shrunk. If the direction is oneway, then the indexes are moved to the temporary file, and the process will be complete. .PARAMETER AdjustRecovery If this switch is enabled then the recovery model of the database will be temporarily changed to SIMPLE, then put back to the original recovery model. If the switch is missing, then the recovery model will not be changed. .PARAMETER ShrinkTimeout If the original requires shrinking in a twoway operation, then the shrinks will occur in very small chunks at a time. This timeout will control how long that operation can run before timing out. NOTES: This timeout is in minutes. .PARAMETER ShrinkIncrementMB The amount of MB to shrink the file each shrink attempt. If left as the default of 0 then a simple formula will adjust the shrink increment based upon the file size. .PARAMETER IndexMoveTimeout The amount of time that controls how long a index move can run before timing out. NOTES: This timeout is in minutes. .PARAMETER MinimumFreeSpaceMB The file shrunk must have at least this amount of free space, otherwise the shrink operation will write out a warning and skip the shrink operation for this file. .PARAMETER TLogBackupJobName The name of a TLOG back up job name. If passed in, then the job will be temporarily disabled until the process finishes as TLOG backups will interfere with the file operations. The job will be re-enabled once the process finishes. .INPUTS None. You cannot pipe objects to this script. .OUTPUTS Generates a table of records detailing before and after sizes for each filegroup shrunk. .EXAMPLE PS> Invoke-DBSafeShrink -ServerInstance "servername" -Databases "AdventureWorks2008","AdventureWorks2012" .EXAMPLE PS> Invoke-DBSafeShrink -ServerInstance "servername" -Databases "AdventureWorks2008","AdventureWorks2012" -MinimumFreeSpaceMB 1 -NewFileDirectory "D:\sqltemp\" .LINK https://github.com/tcartwright/tcdbtools .NOTES Author: Tim Cartwright #> [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$ServerInstance, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [ValidateCount(1, 9999)] [string[]]$Databases, [pscredential]$Credentials, [string]$FileGroupName = "PRIMARY", [System.IO.DirectoryInfo]$NewFileDirectory, [ValidateSet("oneway", "twoway")] [string]$Direction = "twoway", [switch]$AdjustRecovery, [int]$ShrinkTimeout = 5, [ValidateRange(0, 20000)] [int]$ShrinkIncrementMB = 0, [int]$IndexMoveTimeout = 5, [int]$MinimumFreeSpaceMB = 250, [string]$TLogBackupJobName ) begin { $SqlCmdArguments = New-DBSqlCmdArguments -ServerInstance $ServerInstance -Credentials $Credentials $server = New-DBSMOServer -ServerInstance $ServerInstance -Credentials $Credentials # these two function can show you what fields are available # $server.SetDefaultInitFields([Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Table], $true) # $server.GetDefaultInitFields([Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Table]) # cut way down on the number of table fields smo pulls to hopefully speed it up [string[]]$fields = @("ID", "FileGroup", "HasClusteredIndex") $server.SetDefaultInitFields([Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Table], $fields) $shrinkTimeOut = ([Timespan]::FromMinutes($ShrinkTimeout).TotalSeconds) $IndexMoveTimeout = ([Timespan]::FromMinutes($IndexMoveTimeout).TotalSeconds) $sw = [System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch]::StartNew() $swFormat = "hh\:mm\:ss" <# # IF THEY PASSED IN A NEW DIRECTORY, MAKE SURE IT IS CREATED #> if ($NewFileDirectory) { Write-Information "[$($sw.Elapsed.ToString($swFormat))] CREATING DIRECTORY ($($NewFileDirectory.FullName))" CreateNewDirectory -NewFileDirectory $NewFileDirectory -SqlCmdArguments $SqlCmdArguments } Write-InformationColorized "[$($sw.Elapsed.ToString($swFormat))] STARTING" -ForegroundColor Yellow <# # IF THEY PASSED IN A TLOG BACKUP JOB NAME THEN STOP IT, AND WAIT A BIT FOR IT TO FINISH #> if ($TLogBackupJobName) { StopTLogBackupJob -SqlCmdArguments $SqlCmdArguments -TLogBackupJobName $TLogBackupJobName } $ret = @{} if ($AdjustRecovery.IsPresent) { $recoveryModels = AdjustRecoveryModels -AdjustRecovery $AdjustRecovery -SqlCmdArguments $SqlCmdArguments -Databases $Databases -recoveryModels @{} -TargetRecoveryModel "SIMPLE" } } process { foreach($Database in $Databases) { $SqlCmdArguments.Database = $Database $db = $server.Databases[$Database] # try to enum the tables to hopefully speed this up $db.EnumObjects([Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.DatabaseObjectTypes]::Table) | Out-Null if ($db.Name -ne $Database) { Write-Warning "Can't find the database [$Database] in '$ServerInstance'" continue };
