I have made the sql server 2008 database backup through proper procedure.I am doing this backup in remote server. The task is completed successfully. But When I check the folder that I made the backup,is showing extension as file,not .bak. Why the backup extension is not proper? And due to that,when I sent this backupfile through mail to someone,that person is not being able to retrieve or restore it..
Hello,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
New to Database Mirroring and I have a question about the Principal database server. I have a Database Mirroring setup configured for High-safety with automatic fail over mode using a witness.
When a fail over occurs because of a lost of communication between the principal and mirror, the mirror server takes on the roll of Principal. When communication is returned to the Principal server, at some point does the database that was the previous Principal database automatically go back to being the Principal server?

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.
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.
hello ... I am trying to copy 1 field from a table in database called DB1 to a same table in DB2 .. I am not sure if this is possible. I found out form www3.schools.com it's doable using Select Into ... but it uses MS Access for example (Northwind.mdb) ... I wonder what's the extension database in MS SQL? Does anyone know where can we check the query syntax on the web? Can anyone tell me it's correct? I dun have MS SQL from home .. so :( ======copy prodID from DB1 to DB2 table called production1 (both DB1 and DB2)======= // this is done in SQL QUERY ANALYZER under DB1? SELECT production1.prodID INTO production1 IN DB2 FROM DB1 =====create VIEW in DB2======= // this has to be done in DB1 ... if I have multiple databases, is there anyway to do it using something like SELECT INTO to create view in differences databases? CREATE VIEW production_id AS SELECT prodID from DB1
I've been using Michaels excellent date function http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=61519 quite honestly it has saved me loads of time (the e-beers are on me)
For my purposes I need to work sometimes with Financial Years and I also need the Dates available to SQL Server 7. So I used Michaels function to create a table and added two fields (possibly more to follow). Please note that this has only been done on SQL Server 2000
ALTER TABLE DATEINFO ADD -- Needs these to allow NULL so that the Alter Table will work. FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE[datetime]null , -- the start date for the financial year FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_YEAR[smallint]null , -- the year that the financial years starts in depending on the Financial Year Start Date
Given that the table is then populated by Michaels function, to set the FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE I used
/* @ARBITRARY_FINANICAL_YEAR_START_DATE is SET to any date that would be the start date of a financial year only the day and month parts are important, so in this case the start of the financial year is 1 April */ DECLARE @ARBITRARY_FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE DATETIME SET @ARBITRARY_FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE = '20060401' UPDATE DATEINFO SET FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE = CASE WHEN DATEDIFF(dd,DATEADD(yy, year([DATE]) - YEAR(@ARBITRARY_FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE), @ARBITRARY_FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE),[DATE]) < 0 Then DATEADD(YY,YEAR([DATE])- YEAR(@ARBITRARY_FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE) -1, @ARBITRARY_FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE) Else DATEADD(YY,YEAR([DATE])- YEAR(@ARBITRARY_FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE) , @ARBITRARY_FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE) END
With that it is trivial to set FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_YEAR to YEAR(FINANCIAL_YEAR_START_DATE)

I am in need of urgent help. i do believe that when you used the command SPOOL filename without specifying an extension name, it automatically puts an .lst extension name. Can you help me identify if there is any way i can generate a file without an extension name? I am in need of help right now. I hope someone will answer my post as soon as possible. I really really appreciate it!

I have installed the SSRS 2005 Forms based login security extension as per the sample and instructions that come with the product install. I have double checked my work and debugged up to the point explained here.
My user is in the database and I can get to the login page. I have traced the code and can see the user being authenticated properly by server.LogonUser, the authentication cookie being created and placed in the response object, and then the redirect url being set to the reports/pages/folder.aspx. I have employed tcptrace and can see the sqlAuthCookie set in subsequent posts.
Unfortunately the redirect to folder.aspx never happens. I keep returning to UILogon.aspx. I think their is something either wrong with the auth cookie or the web.config in the ReportServer IIS virtual directory. The relevant xml from the web.config is attached below.
I would appreciate any thoughts. I am running on W2K3 SP1. Thanks.

I'm trying to change the file extension of one of the database files of a big database that contains 10 years of EPOS data. When this file was created, at the beginning of 2008, with the following script:
USE [Live]
ALTER DATABASE [Live] ADD FILE (NAME = 'Live_2008',
FILENAME = €˜E:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataLive_2008') TO FILEGROUP [2008] the .ndf file extension was not added to the filename. So the file now has a file type of "File", instead of "SQL Server Secondary Data File" I tried, in a test environment, to bring the database offline, change the filename to "Live_2008.ndf" and bring the database back online, but it gives me an error message saying that "cannot open the Live_2008 file", i'm guessing because it's looking for "Live_2008" and it finds "Live_2008.ndf" instead. This file is quite big (5Gb) and I cannot afford to risk to lose any data. The situation is complicated even further by the fact that it seems that a partition for 2008 does not exist. How can I find out what data this file contains? Is it going to be an issue if I leave the file like that? Thanks
I recently installed the Teradata .NET data provider and I am trying to use named parameters and multi-value parameters in my SQL. I am finding information on this topic hard to come by.
In order to get parameters to work do I need to write my own Teradata data extension from scratch, expand an existing data extension to work with Teradata, or can I simple edit my .config files to point to a generic extension wrapper already existing?
My query should be pretty simple to answer by the gurus. I have SQL Server Express Advance series installed at my system along with VS 2005. I tried the reporting services (remote mode) to display a report in the report viewer on my aspx page. The report simply uses an SQL query to get the result. Everything works fine and dandy!
However if i want to get data from my own data set, i used a webservice and ussed the XML data source option in the report to traverse through the XML. In the preview mode of the RDL everything works fine however when i deploy or rather run it using report viewer on my webpage, it gives an error that 'XML' has not been registered as an extension etc.
I looked in the rsserver config file, it IS configured. The only answer i have is that the EXPRESS version of SQL only supports the regular SQL data sources. I do not understand if that was the case, why does the preview mode work fine??
If i am correct then for the next release the ms developers should disable that or rather give a more meaning full error. I spent an entire day fideling around just to find out that it isnt supported with debates all over the place as to why in the world does it work in the preview mode?
Anyhoo, to get around that issue, i am wondering if the Custom Data Extension would work on the SQL Express or not? I am assuming it wouldnt. Please clearify this. Ideally all i want is to access my own data set in the report, no SQL queries or whatever, CDE seems the way forward but does SQL Express allow it?
Many thanks guyz.

I'm using Windows XP Home, Apache 2.2 as web server, and PHP 5.2.5.
I have php installed in c:php. I have the extensions directory set to c:phpext.
Enabling a different extension, like php_zip works.
If I leave the entry in php.ini for php_sqlsrv.dll, then I get a message that is can't be loaded.
If I try to run php at the command line using php -v, then it pops up a dialg box: Title: php.exe - unable tolocate component Message: The application has failed to start because php5.dll was not found. Then another pop up dialog saying that php_sqlsrv.dll could not be loaded.
If I turn on PHP error messages to be displayed in the browser, and stop and restart Apache then I see: PHP startup: unable to load dynamic link library ./php_sqlsrv.dll - the specified module could not be loaded.
Here's the line in my Apache config file: LoadModule php5_module c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll
There is no plain php5.dll in the c:php directory.
Perhaps this extension ONLY works with IIS as the web server?
I set up a basic ForEach enumerator loop and specified files of type *.sql.
In the directory, I had some files I needed to keep but didn't want the package to touch, so I changed the extension to *.sqlo. Much to my dismay, the ForEach loop picked up those files. (Though it did skip the *.xml and *.bat and a few other types...)
The custom security extension generates the following error, when try to access Report Manager. The specifications are as follows. 1. Its 64-bit SQL Server (Reporting Services) and installed as default instance. 2. The Report Server is accessible programmatically. I can publish, view reports without problems, but Report Manager gives an error. 3. Another instance (named instance) of Reporting Services with the same custom security extension on same server is working fine. Report Manager opens up without problems. 4. Both the instances working fine since 3 installation and configuration (3 months back). Now, only the Report Manager of the default instance is not openeing up.

I have written a Data Processing extension for my application and can deploy it on my development machine no problems. My question is: what is the "correct" way of deploying an extension to an end user's machine? Do I have to write a special program to find and modify the Reporting Server config files and copy the extension over. Surely many developers have the same need so there must be a generic solution to this problem, however, I haven't managed to find one.
I first came across this issue in SQL2000 and I thought/hoped it would be rectified with SQL2005 but it appears not to be (unless I'm missing something).
I'm trying to start the generic query designer and i get this error. I have no idea what is wrong, but I know I'm using Visual Studio 2005 V 8.050727.42 .net Framework 2.050727 SSRS Designers v 9:00.3042.00
On my current project we have a requirement to re-authenticate the user when accessing sensitive information.
We want re-authenticate using standard NT logins against Active Directory (not a custom database or SSO.
This is trivial to configure using Basic Authentication, however I would like to use an ASP.NET login form. I would like to avoid writing a security extension as I do not want to perform custom authentication. I would like the web service to use it's built in authentication and authorisation mechanisms.
Is the above possible???
The following gives some more details about wht I've tried.
I have tried configuring the report server/manager with Forms authentication as in the sample but cannot get it to work with out implementing the security extensions.
I changed the web.config files and the policy files for permissioning my dll with FullTrust. I did not configure an extension as I want reporting services to use it's built in windows security mechanisms.
In the login page code behind I call the ReportingService2005.LogonUser() method which always throws the following exception: Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'. The request failed with the error message: --

Am I missing something? Is this even possible? If not, then why isn't it possible?
It feels like I've been going round in circles on something that shouold be pretty trivial to configure.
I'm writing a Data Processing Extension for SSRS 2005 that allows you to use a WSS 3.0 List as a dataset. This works for one list per dataset. Now I am trying to extend the extension to allow multiple lists in a dataset because I want to join lists on a common field (INNER JOIN). The problem is that I can only return one DataTable to the Report Server with the DataReader. Does anyone know if it is possible to return multiple DataTables (without the join)?
