I am very new to SQL 2005. I need to automate backup for the SQL server which can take backup of all databases from the server at fixed time without using third party backup system. Thank you for help.
View 13 RepliesI am currently using MSDE as the Db for a website and using (cheating?)
enterprise manager i have created and scheduled a backup job that the
agent runs.
Now I am wanting to upgrade the Database to SQL2005 Express but I want
to have a similar scheduled backup job. From the reading of the
OLBs it appears I have to manually create a script but I don't know how
to schedule the running of the script.
So my questions are:
1. How do you schedule the running of a back up script in SQL Express? and,
2. Is there a tool that automates the creation of a script similar to how you do it in the old Enterprise manager?
TIA

Hi All,
I have created the package using Import data ( from comma delimeted text file)
Actually I schedule the JOB to run the package from SQL Server Agent
I am getting error when start the job. ( job started successfully and executing time am getting error.)
here is the Log error
[298] SQLServer Error: 3621, The statement has been terminated. [SQLSTATE 01000] (ConnIsLoginSysAdmin)
[298] SQLServer Error: 15404, Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'VGOSVRSaleem', error code 0x2095. [SQLSTATE 42000] (ConnIsLoginSysAdmin)
If I run the .dtsx file from outside. it works fine
do I need to do any kind of setup before running/starting the job ??
Please advise

What is the difference between "Files aned File Groups" backup and Partial Backup?
Looks like both are same.. Please comment.
I have only one tape drive.
My server is using the SQL server 2005 backup tool and arcserve backup tool to backup different files .
Everytime I need to disable and enable the tape device driver (in device manager /windows) before I can use SQL server 2005 backup tool.
Everytime I need to disable and enable the tape device driver (in device manager /windows) before I can use arcserve backup tool.
It seems that the tape device resource is held by softwares even the tape drive is not in use.
What should I do to make the tape drive shared by different softwares?

Hello,
I would like to ask you if there is better to recreate database structure on 2005 from 2000 and move data or to just load
2000 backup.
Currently I loaded the backup, but I am wondering if there might be slightly better performance on 2005 when recreating structure on 2005 to loading 2000 backup?
Does loading 2000 backup create 2005 binary structure?
Thanks for help in advance
Is it possible to execute a DTS package via a stored procedure?
We have created a web-based application with a SQL back-end, I would like the

Is this possible? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I want to automate a query that I am running everyday. So, what I want to do is run it at a particular time of the day say 11:00pm. Is this possible? Should I create a stored procedure? And also, I want to run an update statement on a particular table on the first of every month. If anyone can give me some advice on this, I would appreciate it.

I'm using SQL 2000, which is integrated with a VB.NET 2003 app.I have an Audit trigger that logs changes to tables. I want to applythis trigger to many different tables. It's the same trigger, with theexception of the table name. I could manually change the table name inthe trigger and create it, over and over, but I'd like to automatethis - by iterating through the collection of tables and passing thetablename to something that would create the audit trigger for thattable.Any ideas? With any scripting language I can create the text of theCREATE TRIGGER procedure for each table and use simple textreplacement, but how do I automate that inside of SQL?Thanks.

Dear All
Im not the greatest SQL guy in the world...(as you will gather from this post)
I have multiple machines (x80) all with SQLExpress installed and a Database instance (MYDB).
This database is part of a demonstration software install. (which is limited).
I need to run a restore from a .BAK file to reset this software to the original version of the database. But this restore MUST happen without user interaction (Users are 17 yo students who know less SQL than me !!!)
Ive tried all the norms..
OSQL couldnt get it to connect at all.
SQL query (Works but requires interaction)
Any other ideas..

Hi,
Unfortunately the deployment Utility does not support adding dll's to the GAC. Still I want to automate it. (By the way on target machines GacUtil is not present). I tried to make a setup project that only adds a dll to the GAC, however the setup project still makes an application folder. How can I turn this off?

Hopefully, there is a way to do this. I work with two SQL servers. One is our production server the other is our test server. In order to test various things, I often need to copy the source data from one server to the other. Most of our programming is in VBA. It's easy enough to open a recordset and fill it with the data I need from the production server, then upload each record, one at a time, to the test server. The problem is that I am dealing with a massive amount of data and this takes a long time.
I have found that I can use the import task in SQL Server Enterprise and it transfers the data extremely quickly. Is there a way, preferably using VBA, that I could automate this import task process?
Thanks
We can use rs.exe to publish a report automatically, but how do we do the reverse - remove a report automatically?
Is there a way by using a MS utility?
Is there a way by writing code, using library objects?
Part of the problem we face is having servers with RS all set up with a particular connection string and published reports. We then want to change everything and we want to do it automatically.
OK I have this table I am grbbing from Oracle and I need to take selected columns and do a value lookup against another table: IE Here is a list of fields I get from Oracle:
Code SnippetENTRY_ID
SUBMITTER
CREATE_DATE
ASSIGNEE
LAST_MODIFIED_BY
MODIFIED_DATE
STATUS
SHORT_DESCRIPTION
CATEGORY
TYPE
ITEM
SCHEMA_NAME
SCHEMA_KEYWORD
ID
FULL_NAME
USERNAME
PAGER
PAGERPIN
PAGING_METHOD
RECORD_TYPE
GROUP_ID
GROUP_ALIAS
APPLICATION
NOTIFICATION_SERVICE
ARS_GROUP_NAME
GROUP_TYPE
AUDIT_TRAIL
FULL_NAME_
RESPONSIBILITY
PAGER_EMAIL_ADDRESS
Now I need to do a value lookup on these fields:
Code SnippetSTATUS
RESPONSIBILITY
In this example it is only 2 but in other conversions it could be 20 or more... Now here is my select statement for each Field (The ? being the FIELD from before IE Status or Responsibility):
The is for Status:
Code Snippet
SELECT VALUE AS STATUS_VALUE
FROM Field_Values
WHERE (NAME = 'Project Name') AND (ENUMID = ?) AND (FIELDNAME = 'Status')
This is for Responsibility:
Code SnippetSELECT VALUE AS RESPONSIBILITY_VALUE
FROM Field_Values
WHERE (NAME = 'Project Name') AND (ENUMID = ?) AND (FIELDNAME = 'Responsibility')
So for this the way I am doing it now is I have 2 "Lookup" Components setup... It works fine... However as I said when I get say 20 or so it gets really tiresome. I was wondering if I could feed it a EXCEL or XML file saying these are the fields that need a value lookup where:
FIELD - Project - FIELDNAME VALUE - OUTPUT VALUE
So with this example I would have a file saying something like this:
STATUS - Project Name - Status - STATUS_VALUE
RESPONSIBILITY - Project Name - Responsibility - RESPONSIBILITY_VALUE
Then it runs whatever and returns the *_VALUE for each row it goes through... Any suggestions?

Please can you help out this with this question????
I have created a SQL 2005 select statement that returns an XML file with the correct items (in the correct format) to be used as a sitemap... This needs to have a function and then a select statement run in conjunction 1 CREATE FUNCTION QuickNav(@MenuItem int)
2 RETURNS XML
3 WITH RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT
4 BEGIN RETURN
5 (SELECT ID as "@ID", Title as "@title", url as "@url", Description as "@Description", ParentID as "@ParentID", NodeGroupParent as "@NodeGroupParent", ImageURL as "@ImageURL", NodeGroupSort as "@NodeGroupSort",
6 CASE WHEN NodeGroupParent=@MenuItem
7 THEN dbo.QuickNav(id)
8 END
9 FROM dbo.QuickNavView WHERE NodeGroupParent=@MenuItem
10 ORDER BY NodeGroupSort
11 FOR XML PATH('siteMapNode'), TYPE)
12 END 1 WITH XMLNAMESPACES (
2 DEFAULT 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0'
3 )
4 SELECT ID as "@ID", Title as "@title", url as "@url", Description as "@Description", ParentID as "@ParentID", NodeGroupParent as "@NodeGroupParent", ImageURL as "@ImageURL", NodeGroupSort as "@NodeGroupSort",
5 CASE WHEN id=31
6 THEN dbo.QuickNav(id)
7 END
8 FROM QuickNavView
9 WHERE id=31
10 ORDER BY NodeGroupSort
11 FOR XML PATH('siteMapNode'), ROOT('siteMap')
So when i run this code in SQL 2005 Express it works fine and i can save the results as a Web.sitemap and my menu looks ok...But now i want to automate this creation process.... have a button that when clicked saves an XML file (Web.sitemap) to a server directory... How Can I Do This????? This may seem like a dumb question but i really do need help and have searched everwhere... any help, pointers to a tutorial would be great...Any Ideas .....Tod BTW the results look like...

I’d like to update rows matching a certain criteria each night automatically and then send an email.
I have a table with a Status column and an Expire Date column. I want to update rows where the Status = Open and the Expire Date < The current Date by changing the Status to Closed then send an HTML email. Do I have to write a program and schedule it to run or is there a way to do this in MS SQL? I looked at using a stored procedure but I don’t see how to schedule one to run (other than at startup) and I’m not sure if the GETDATE function can be called.
Thanks for any help.
