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.

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

Hi All,I need help in creating a function in VB for my ASP.NET application where I want to add records to database on the first day of every month.I have got no idea about what I have to do for achieving this goal.Its basically for a customer based application where Interest will be paid into customers' account and I need to implement this for every customer on 1st day of every monthThe thing I am not sure about is how can I get the application to add a record for each customer on the first day of each month, i.e. how can I get the application to check that its 1st day of month and then the application adds records automatically for each customer based on my specified rules.If any of you could help me with this, I'll really appreciate it.Thank you.

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

Hello,

Or is the datebase name part of the .mdf file?

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

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...

Running SQL 2000 and need to copy an entire database (structure and data) from our inhouse development server to our 'live' server at our hosting co. What's the best solution? I can't do it directly because both machines are behind firewalls or course.
Thanks in advance!

I am pretty new to SQL Server 7.0 and am having a problem. I have two databases, both on seperate SQL Servers. The problem I am having is I have a copy of one and a backup of the other. I need both of these to be restored into a third SQL Server I have locally. None of these Servers see each other so I can't register them. All I have to work with is the Backup and the copy. Can someone tell me how to accomplish this. I have tried to do restore and import.
Thanks so much in advance for any help.

How can you copy a database from one server to another without taking it down?
I know I can detach the database and then copy it thru the file system, but how can it be done with the database running?

I need to move a database from sql 2000 to sql 2005. My research suggests that I can backup a sql 2000 db from enterprise manager and restore it with sql 2005 management studio. Are there step by step directions for this or can someone tell me how to do this?
what about logins? Are they transfered in this process. My research also suggests the I use copy database wizard by this failed on me and I can't find anything in the event log or anywhere else to tell me why. Please help. Thanks

Is this method right to work?
Can you suggest me something differen?
