Hi
I have an sql server 2005+sp2 instance and a db on it.
I have create a database master key (specifying a password so it WILL NOT get encrypted by the server master key) on my database and backed it up
CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'test'
go
BACKUP MASTER KEY TO FILE = 'c:Genesis_DBMasterKey.key' ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'test'
Then I have created a asymmetic key without specifying a password therefore the key will get encrypted bt the database master key.
CREATE ASYMMETRIC KEY card WITH ALGORITHM = RSA_512
Problem: as a recovey plan if I restore the database on the same or other instance (althogh the asymmetic key is part of backup) the decrypt doesn€™t work.
I have tried to create a bank database restore tha databse master key and recreate the asymmetric key, but I€™m afraid I€™m still not having any luck with it, as it does not decrypt.
My main issue is that is any case if I have to recover the database , how do I have to make sure that encryption/Dycription will work?
Thanks
I missed the ability to restore based on a time (10/23 6pm) due to our purge cycle in our production environment, but I was able to obtain the 10/18 full backup, the 10/23 differential backup, and the 4, 10/23 trans. log backups. I moved all the fore mentioned files to a staging environment, and now I am trying to restore all of the files to 10/23 6pm and I get :
"The log or differential backup cannot be restored because no files are ready to rollforward" error.
We replicate a SQL2000 database (DataBaseA) to a SQL2000 database (DataBaseB) by using the Restore function and hasn't change its logical name but only the physical data path and file name. It is running fine for a year. We use the same way to migrate the DataBaseB to a new SQL2005 server with the Restore function and the daily operation is running perfect. However, when we do the Backup of DatabaseB in the SQL2005, it just prompt the error message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of full-text catalog 'DataBaseA' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please note we left the DataBaseA in the old SQL2000 server.
Please help on how we can delete the Full-text catalog from DatabaseB so we can do a backup
I just restored my SQL server 2000 database on the SQL server 2005. after this i ran the Service broker sample ("Hello World") on this database by changing the AdventureWorks name to the new database name. The "setup.sql" runs fine. When i run the "SendMessage.sql" i was not getting any rows in the output (The message was not getting inserted into the queue). I checked the Service broker is enabled on this databased using the query "select is_broker_enabled from sys.databases where name = 'newdbname' " It was 1. I even tried the ALTER DATABASE SET ENABLE_BROKER. but it didnt work.
When i tried the sample on a newly created database it worked fine.
Is there any solution to make the restored database to work for service broker.
Pages on a full recovery model database corrupted, need to ensure data loss is minimal for restore operation am thinking about restoring the latest full backup.
I am trying to find out name of the backup file database was restored from (I am restoring from DISK), something similar to physical_device_name in backupmediafamily. restorehistory doesn't have this information. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
I have recently restored a backup of a SQL Server 2000 Database (from my production server €“ which is a shared hosting service) on my dev machine so I can do some testing. The issue I am having is with the permission of objects. Some of the objects were created with the dbo user and some with another login (myLogin). The ones that were created with dbo work fine on my dev machine. The others do not work unless I prefix them with €œmyLogin€?€¦ I get an €œInvalid object name€? if I don€™t prefix them. This is problematic because there are hundreds of stored procs and tables that I would need to modify in order to use them on my dev machine.
Can anyone tell me how to create a new user with the necessary permissions so I can execute my procs and access tables without having to prefix them?
Hope this makes sense €“ please let me know if it doesn€™t.

I restored SQL 7.0 database to SQL 2000. ( by creating empty db on SQL 2000 and restored from SQL 7 backup) -- restore ok.. I need to use same SQL user which is admin for DB on SQL 7, for SQL 2000 also. ( DB user is sql user not domain user) I put mixed authentication mode ( windows and SQL) in SQL 2000 enterprises manager security tab setting. I can see DB user is available in DB user list on restored DB but can not access DB when I try to access from query analyser I tried to create new login with same name as it was in SQL 7 and tried to give full admin access on SQL 2000 enterprise manager but I get error 21002:[ SQL DMO] User 'user' already exists.
I restored a backup of a replication database named "distribution" to a non-replicated development instance (ss2000). Well, when I try to drop the database I am told I can not because it is used for replication. It isn't. But you now how Microsoft is . . . . So the question is: how do I drop the database without rebuilding the server, or jumping through firery hoops????
I have a SQL 2k database backup and I restore it in sql server 2005.
Is this now a SQL Server 2005 database or a 2K database in a 2005 server.
Means do I need to convert databases somehow when I migrated from 2000 to 2005. Is the above mentioned way a way to migrate... or are ther some conversation tools.
We have a log shipping database running on SQL 2000 ENT SP4, the secondary DB is in standby/read only mode . we have a job that runs every day to take it offline, make a copy of the files and attach them as a new database for reporting purposes.
We're planning to upgrade to SQL 2005 however, when we copy the Standby/read only database files and attach using "CREATE DAABASE FOR ATTACH" we get :
msg 1284 Cannot attach a database that was being restored.
this works in SQL 2000 but not SQL 2005, is there a way to force attach the DB ?
We have an issue with a 3 node SQL 2012 Always on availability group. Normal operation is node 1 (primary replica) with node 2 and node 3 as secondary replicas.After some patching, SQL wasn't running on node 1 hence the AG flipped over to node 2. This went unnoticed for some time and the transaction log for one of the AG databases became full on node 2 and node 3. (I think this is because it couldn't commit the transactions on node 1 so couldn't truncate it's t-log?) The DB is using synchronous replication btw.So I started SQL on node 1 and flipped the AG back to node 1 (with a data loss warning but I accepted this).Now the issue is that on node 2 and 3, the DB in question is stuck in a "Reverting / In Recovery" State. I've tried various commands such as ALTER DATABASE SET ONLINE, RESTORE DATABASE WITH RECOVERY etc but these fail stating unable to obtain a lock on the DB.
The weird thing is that on node 1 the state of the DB is "synchronised".how to resolve this issue on node 2 and 3? I've left them overnight (in case they were rolling back transactions, the DB is fairly large) but nothing seems to have happened. remove the DB from the AG in node 2 and 3 and add it back in again, ie recreate the replication?
Last week I backed up my SQL Server by using BE 2012. I named the file "SQL Server BAK" which contained copies of my SQL Server databases. A few days ago I lost some part of my data due to accidental deletion. I backed it up, so I tried to restore the database from the .bkf file. The problem comes here, when I try to to restore my .bkf file, it becomes inaccessible.what causes this?

Hi, I made an UPDATE query without specifying any criteria so I had more than 1500 records have been changed and I cannot undo the UPDATE. Is there any way I can recover the data UPDATE from the Transactions Log. I did not back up the database lately so what is the appropriate solutions for this?
Is there a way to Revover a Sql Server 2000 database in the absence of the backup file(the backup file got overwritten). Does Sql Server do any automatic Transaction logging?

Hi,I'm no where close to a SQL Server expert but we're using it as a back endto another application.I lost a PC that had MS SQL Server 2000. I was able to recover the .MDF and..LDF files but nothing else. How can I restore these files to another SQLServer installation on another PC. When I tried to attach them they are notrecognized as valid files (I get the red X instead of the green CHECK).Is this a basic security function that I'm not going to get around or shouldit be possible? Do the .mdf and .ldf files contain specific info about whatPC they were created on?Are there third party apps that might be able to at least extract thetables?Thanks,WH
Is there a way to check the status of a database in recovery. Like how far along it may be. If not is there a way to stop a database in recovery and just drop it.
Our server ran out of disk space during a stored procedure process. We were able to free up some space, stopped all SQL services, restarted all SQL services and now SQL Management Studio shows the database to be in recovery. Is there a way to monitor this to ensure progress is being made and to estimate when it might complete?
What does it actually mean when the database is in recovery? My database has been in recovery overnight. What is normally going on in this situation. Should I wait or take more drastic action?
I had to change the path of .mdf and .ldf files, so I decided to:
1) Take offline the database
2) run the quey ALTER DATABASE... MODIFY to change the path
3) Bring online the database.
The last step hung up (with no errors) and left the database In Recovery.
When I tried to stop and restart sql server other databases changed their status In Recovery...

Could it be dangerous trying to kill this process ? If not, what is the best way do to it ? From Sql Server Activity Monitor (spid 24) or from Task Manager ?
