I need some help here...
My VC DB has reached its 4GB limit (this is a limit of SQL Express, not VC) I know I could upgrade to SQL Standard but I want to stay with Express for now. The reason the DB filled up is that I changed the Statistics settings a few weeks ago to keep more data and the DB grew to large.
Now I would like to log into VC and change the Stats setting back to only keep a small amount of past perf data but I cant get the VC service Running. Every time I try and start it I get the following in the App log:
Event Type: ErrorEvent Source: MSSQL$SQLEXP_VIMEvent Category: (2)Event ID: 1827Date: 1/20/2009Time: 9:19:55 AMUser: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEMComputer: VC1Description:CREATE DATABASE or ALTER DATABASE failed because the resulting cumulative database size would exceed your licensed limit of 4096 MB per database.
Qusetion is... how can I (even just temporarily) get the VC service running so I can change the settings and then shringk the DB... or am I screwed. There has to be a temp reg key from MS to allow the SQL DB size beyond 4GB temporarily or some other way to get er going...
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks so much!
