As backups are done on SQL, it keeps all the catalogs. Over time, there are too many. Which system table(s) contains those backup catalog entries and should
I clean up some of those entries to keep the size in check or there is a max
limit and being taken care by itself.
Appeciate your help !

Hi all,
I am a graduate assistant in Central Michigan University. Currently, My work is to create a table or a catalog that explains all the details of a table and the fields with in the table. We are the looking for details like, stored procedures or Views or other tables or Reports that are using the particular field or table. How can i capture those details and make it as an automated process, which updates when ever there is an add on in use or something else.
Please help me with this as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Swaroop Govula
I have currently one SQL FT catalog which indices couple of tables in on our server on nightly basis. It does a 'full' indexing of data as originally designed. Now the time it is taking to index all the data is unacceptable to user. I am working on it to make it index 'incrementally'.
But, for a short-term approach I want to find out, can we FT index a 'table A' in two catalogs on same SQL Server?
How to allow updates system catalogs in SQL Server 2005 ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
looking for some views about where to place these catalogs. The manual says they work more effiecntly on a different drive to the database, which is understandable.
I'm in the processes of designing a new database application which is to be avaiable via the internet, and extranet app. But as I'm planning to host the app and the main database on a shared server but to have the catalogs on another server held in house. The app will have search facilities as its main use. They will obviously be some performace issues, but is this a good idea?
Thanks for any comments..

Replication: Is it possible to replicate Full-text catalogs between servers?
thanks in advance
Hi
When I create a full text catalog via sql code, does the account the sql server is running under need any special permissions, since some files are created?
Or is it just the same as running any other sql code?
Thanks
in SQLServer2005 how can I allow update system catalogs (by mouseclick)?
View 59 Replies View RelatedHello,I'm trying to create a simple back up in the SQL Maintenance Plan that willmake a single back up copy of all database every night at 10 pm. I'd likethe previous nights file to be overwritten, so there will be only a singleback up file for each database (tape back up runs every night, so each daysback up will be saved on tape).Every night the maintenance plan makes a back up of all the databases to anew file with a datetime stamp, meaning the previous nights file stillexists. Even when I check "Remove files older than 22 hours" the previousnights file still exists. Is there any way to create a back up file withoutthe date time stamp so it overwrites the previous nights file?Thanks!Rick
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn 2000 there was a server level setting you could change in EM, to allow direct modifications to systems catalogs.
in 2005 I would like to update some sids in sysusers tables, do I also need to find and set this option first
I have a handful of databases that are enabled for Full-Text search. After investigating some recent performance issues, I discovered the FullText Catalogs needed to be reorganized. This is a task I knew I wanted to automate, without having to hard-code db names or catalog names. My first thought was to use sp_executesql with dynamic tsql strings. I was quite disappointed to realize that I couldn't use fully qualified names to run either of these commands:
ALTER FULLTEXT CATALOG [DBName].[SchemaName].[CatalogName] REORGANIZE
ALTER FULLTEXT CATALOG [DBName]..[CatalogName] REORGANIZE
My next thought was to create a stored proc on each user db that would do the re-orgs. Then I could have a sql job iterate through the db's and run the sp on each db. Thinking...Hmm...That's do-able, but I don't like it. Add a new db to the server, and I have to remember to create the sp. Relying on my memory to do something isn't always a good idea. Plus, if I have to fix/edit/enhance the sp, I get the pleasure of doing it multiple times on multiple servers. Too much work.
I came up with some code that would dynamically reorganize all the catalogs, but I had to run it while connected to a specific db. How do I run the code while connected to [master], but in the context of a different db? The undocumented proc [sp_MSforeachdb] came to mind. I'd never used it, and was reluctant to do so after reading about other dba's experiences with it. So I came up with my own derivitive, just for this one purpose. The code is below.
CREATE PROCEDURE dba.ReorganizeFullTextCatalogs
AS
/*
Purpose:
Reorganizes the FullText Catalogs (as needed) on all user databases.
Inputs: None
History:
02/25/2014DMasonCreated

--This is the tsql statement that get executed on each db.
DECLARE @InnerSql NVARCHAR(MAX) =

I need to modify a .dtsx that is inside ‘Integration Services Catalogs’; I tried right-clicking + exporting… But I only see ‘Configure’, ‘execute’ or validate options… I thought I could export it, directly from there, modify it and import it againNow I accessed the Integration Services from the same server name, and it’s not there… How can I find out, where is that package from? Or is there a way that I can export it directly from ssms?

Hello,I am hoping you can help me with the following problem; I need to process the following steps every couple of hours in order to keep our Sql 2000 database a small as possible (the transaction log is 5x bigger than the db).1.back-up the entire database2.truncate the log3.shrink the log4.back-up once again.As you may have determined, I am relatively new to managing a sql server database and while I have found multiple articles online about the topics I need to accomplish, I cannot find any actual examples that explain where I input the coded used to accomplish the above-mentioned steps. I do understand the theory behind the steps I just do not know how to accomplish them!If you know of a well-documented tutorial, please point me in the right direction.Regards.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are trying to restore from a backup (.bak) of a sql 2005 database with full text catologs to sql 2012.
We are getting errors saying that the backup file context are different from what we are trying to restore to, even if we try to create a new database from the backup.The new database is just a test database. The source is a production database with full cataologs.
The normal restore from a bak file does not seem to work.
We dont need the full text catalogs in the new database, but cannot change settings in the source production database.
Is there a way to take a backup of the sql 2005 database without the full text cataologs being included ? , without changing setting in the source database beforehand ?
I've searched the forum and saw that this question has been asked several times. However, none of the responses point to any documentation about this limit. We've got different groups bickering over this ("There is no limit!" "Yes there is!" "No there isn't!") and it would help to have a link on the MSDN or a response from Microsoft to this question to put this to rest once and for all. Also, if there is a limit, is that per Sql Server instance or per physical server?
Secondly, we currently have over 400 catalogs. We've noticed it takes 4-5 minutes for new data to show up in search results. Does the number of catalogs affect performance, or is it the amount of data, irrespective of catalog count?
Thanks
Does anybody know of a way to rollback SQL Server 2005
databases back to SQL Server 2000? Is there a way of doing it without
resorting to Copy Database Wizard? I love to find a way of attaching a SS 2005 database
to a SS 2000 instance without any issues.
I recently upgraded to SS 2005 and I am very unhappy with the SS 2005 and I
want to rollback to SS 2000, which was a lot more stable. I am having
several major issues that are affecting my whole company's day-to-day
operations and the managers are not happy. Some of the issues include
night time batch running very sluggish for no apparent reason. This is a
biggest problem because it only occurs once or so a week and causes a disturbance
with the daily activities when the night time processing isn€™t completed on
time. The rest of the time, the batch processing runs great, even a little better then on SS 2000. I
don't believe it is a matter of my application needing to be retuned because if
that was the case, then why isn't it running sluggish every night? Also,
it's never the same day that the sluggish behavior occurs. If it was occurring
on the same night, then I would have something to investigate within our
application, but it doesn't. Another issue that I am having involves a
night time job that restores a copy of the production database to the Data
Warehouse server to be used for updating the data warehouse. Again, most
of the time it runs great (~2 1/2 hours), but once or twice a week, it goes
stupid and takes 6 1/2 hours for no apparent reason. Again, it is not happening
the same day either, which could give me something to invesigate. On SS 2000, this same job ran flawlessly. Never I did I run into situation that the
database restoration took that long to run. Even another issue involves a SQL Server Agent Job that was put into suspended
state. What's a suspended state and how can I get it out of suspended
state? I can find no information about suspended state in BOL. I
did a Google and nothing came up. If this suspended state was put
in for security reasons, great, but then tell me how I can remove the suspended
state. I am also not happy with the
fact that I can't get accurate information about the queries that are actively
running at that particular moment. In SS 2000, when I noticed high CPU
usage on the server, I would run the sp_who2 active stored proc and it would
show me all the active thread and how much CPU it was consuming. I would
then find the running threads with the highest CPU numbers and investigate the
query and see if we could improve it. Now in SS 2005, I get in the same
situation and run the sp_who2 stored proc, and there is no smoking gun.
All of the active threads are showing very little CPU usage, which I am very
suspect of. What the heck happen to sp_who2? I looked at some of
the other ways of looking at running processes (i.e... sys.sysprocesses) and
they don't appear to be giving the information that I need.
I am very unhappy and I just want to roll back to SS 2000 and wait a couple of
years before I upgrade to SS 2005.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
We need to restore a back up of database from one machine to another machine. The sql server's are running separately on two of the machines.
We rebuilt the MASTER database on the machine which needs to be restored as there was a conflict in the LOCALE and SORT ORDER.
We rebuilt the Master using the RebuiltM.exe
After that we successfully restored the database. AS BOL suggessted that MSDB and Model had to be restored, thosee two were also done.
But we are not able to see all LOGINS / USERS that were there in the original database.
Are we missing anything that will show up all the users once we restore database from the dump.
