Automated Database Copy

Jan 16, 2008

I have a database (actually several of them) on a production server. I want to be able to create an automatic process so every evening the production database is copied to a different server that runs staging sites.

I know that this is possible through database mirroring, but I don't want the database to be constantly mirrored. I would prefer to have a script that ran every night that just make an exact copy over to the staging server.

Is there any way to automate this, possibly through the copy database wizard? Does anyone have any good suggestions as to how I can make this work? If not, does anyone know of a good straight forward article on database mirroring that will get me started quick?

Thanks.

Database Automated Part-archiving

Apr 16, 2007

Hi all,
i am a student doing my final year project and i have the duty to develop a automated part-archiving for our MsSql Server 2000 Database, but its not so simple :eek: .

the environment:
- MsSql Server 2000
- Suns App-Server Glasfish
- Java (J2EE)
- Hibernate

the requirements:
1.)
Some tables should be synchronized and redundant (the same data in both databases)

2.)
If the maindatabase is changing the schema the archivedatabse must do the same changes.

3.)
The datas in some tables (the ones that aren't synchronized) which are older then 2 Years should be moving (copy, paste) to the archivedatabase every 24 hours.

4.)
If there are is a access for a data which are not in the maindatabase, it is necassary to get it from the archivedatabase.


I don't find a way to realise this ...
can some one give me a hint?

... Sorry for my bad english, i hope i explained my problem good enough.

Thanks for ur answers

The Remote Copy Of Database X Has Not Been Rolled Forward To A Point In Time That Is Encompassed In The Local Copy

May 11, 2006

Hi,

I set up DB mirror between a primary (SQL1) and a mirror (SQL2); no witness. I have a problem when I issue command:


alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go


The error message is:

The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy of the database log.

I have the steps below prior to the command. (Note that both servers' service accounts use the same domain account. The domain account I login to do db mirror setup is a member of the local admin group.)

1. backup database DBmirrorTest on SQL1

2. backup database log

3. copy db and log backup files to SQL2

4. restore db with norecovery

5. restore log with norecovery

6. create endpoints on both SQL1 and SQL2

CREATE ENDPOINT [Mirroring]

STATE=STARTED

AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT = 5022, LISTENER_IP = ALL)

FOR DATA_MIRRORING (ROLE = PARTNER)

7. enable mirror on mirror server SQL2

:connect SQL2

alter database DBmirrorTest

Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL1.mycom.com:5022';

go

8. Enable mirror on primary server SQL1

:connect SQL1

alter database DBmirrorTest

Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';

go

This is where I got the error.

The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy



Thanks for any help,

KT

Does SSIS Database Copy Overwrite Existing User Permission To That Database?

Sep 24, 2007

Hi guys,

I've been assigned the task of setting up access to our SQL Server 2005 box. A consultant developing for us has accessing to 2 databases and I've set this up fine. It appears however that one of these databases is re-copied over to the server every night to keep data reasonably current.

I'm not interesting in changing this method as I'm not the maintainer (as yet).

Basically I would like to know if I've setup access to this database (it works fine), when the database is updated (with an SSIS package) the account seems to get deleted. Do the original permissions from the source database overwrite those of its destination?

Cheers

How Do You Copy Tables From Local Database To Web Hosting Database In 2005?

Nov 1, 2006

I'm using SQL Server Management Studio Express and I'm trying to figure out how to copy a table(s) from my local database to my web hosting database.  I know how to do it in 2000, but it's completely different now.  Is this feature not allowed on SSMSE?  If so, then how do I deploy database tables to a web host?Also, how do you add local database(s) to SSMSE?  I tried to use 'attach database' in SSMSE and it wouldn't allow me to navigate to My Documents folder where the database resides. Thanks...
