MS SQL Joins

Hi Folks,
I writing a store procedure, the first three parts work pretty well. The last select statement has about 8 outer joins in it. every time I run the store procedure, I get an error message for the last part. Below are the error message and the store procedure:

Store Procedure:

Server: Msg 9002, Level 17, State 6, Line 2
The log file for database 'tempdb' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space.
Server: Msg 1105, Level 17, State 1, Line 2
Could not allocate space for object '(SYSTEM table id: -109901351)' in database 'TEMPDB' because the 'DEFAULT' filegroup is full.Ok, its a hog.

First, see if you can "blow out" tempdb using DBCC SHRINKDATABASE (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/tsqlref/ts_dbcc_3pd1.asp).

If that doesn't help enough, see if you can create an index that the GROUP BY expression can use... It is often enough to get the first three or four columns covered, since that can buy you an enormous reduction in staging space.

If that doesn't help, buy more disk!

-PatP|||My God, I mean Oh Codd, you have 27 GROUP BY's!!!!... You realize that your tempdb would be the bottleneck throughout the life of your app! Are you sure you need all 27?.. Click on estimated execution plan icon in QA and see what you get there.
