Few Zeroed Pages And Outdated Backup
Jan 17, 2007Greetings.
I've got some (standard?) data corruption issue with quite large SQL database (~8GB). Our RAID10 crashed recently with no chances to restore our database from backup (backup copies were saved on the same disk array weekly (complete backup) - quite a dumb idea and very good lesson, I must admit it).
We managed to get almost all data back from our disks and I attached databases at another server. Today I used DBCC CHECKDB which found like 15 corrupt pages in single _very_ large user table (~4GB):
Server: Msg 8909, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Table error: Object ID 0, index ID 0, page ID (1:39664). The PageId in the page header = (0:0).
....
(etc, ~15 times with different page numbers)
DBCC PAGE displayed that they were just filled with 0 (I guess they resided on those few unlucky disk sectors, data recovering company was unable to read).
I restored most recent backup (like 1 week old) to another database and checked these pages again (and few that were before & after them), they were just fine and the pages before and after were the same exactly.
Well... Here is my Big Question :)
Is there any chance I can get these pages from restored database and just write them over my corrupted data with some tool?
I have no idea how to locate the offset of these pages inside .MDF file at this moment.
Can someone help me with it? This place seems like my last hope...
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I'm trying to avoid dropping these pages in any possible way, they contain... uhh, sort of financial information.
Why Clean Data Pages Written To L2 Cache To Make Space For Other Not Modified Pages
Oct 2, 2014in microsoft doc there is written on the topic of BP Extensions with SSD's in SQL Server 2014: only clean pages are written to disk... does this mean data pages that have not been modified yet? or also those data pages that have already been modified, and where log has finished writing and the transaction has been marked as commited??
why are there clean data pages being written to L2 cache to make space for other not modified pages? I mean, shoudnt they be modified first, before letting other unmodified data pages into the Cache? I mean they have still to be modified..that makes no sense to me to page them out and page them in again just for other data pages...
The Backup Set Holds A Backup Of A Database Other Than Existing Database. Restore Database Is Terminating Abnormally
Apr 9, 2008
I have a problem when i restore my .DAT_BAK file. I am getting error like "The backup set holds a backup of a database other than existing database. Restore Database is terminating abnormally".
I tried by using
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME>
FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH MOVE 'VZAI_DATA' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.MDF',
MOVE 'VZAI_LOG' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.LDF',

FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH REPLACE
When i use like this,
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'. I am able to get the output as LogicalName, PhysicalName, Type, FileGroupName, Size, etc.
Can i anyone please help me out?

Connecting Database To Asp.net Pages!
Jun 3, 2008Hello,
Iam a new developer to asp.net, I have been trying to connect a database to a asp.net page but many times i failed. actually i dont want to connect just directly by dragging and dropping controls rather i wanted to bind controls like textboxes and comboboxes but at first i think i have to make querystrings to and sqlconnection to connect to the database. I mean i have to manually code all these items to get my pages connected. but most of the time i face the bug which is:
Server Error in '/WebSite2' Application.
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
is that because of the fact that i dont sql server management studio installed actually i tried the same process with some other pcs that does not have sql server insatlled but it was working pretty well, but now i dont have a sql server installed and the problem still insists.
hope i have clarified my problem, sorry if it is a bit lenghty
thanks and regards
How To Reallocate PAGES Used By Database
Dec 2, 1998Hello,
I have two identical databases DB1 and DB2. And each have 4 tables
In DB1 i will insert the data in the following order
For Every set of 4 records
Insert into Table1 Values ..
Insert into Table2 Values ..
Insert into Table3 Values ..
Insert into Table4 Values ..
In DB2, i will insert the data as
Insert into Db2..table1 select * from db1..table1
Insert into Db2..table2 select * from db1..table2
Insert into Db2..table3 select * from db1..table3
Insert into Db2..table4 select * from db1..table4
i.e. a bulk copy.
What is hapening is if i run DBCC SHOWCONTIG on both the database tables, it shows avg Space used for DB2 tables as more than 90% but for DB1 it is 4 - 5 %.
And if we check the device stace used by db1, it will be 10 times more by the DB2 for the same set of data. Both databases have different devices to store the log.
1. Can we have any command/procedure to reasllocate all the data so that minimum pages are used to store the data.
2. One more thing, is there any diff in SQL server 6.5 installed on Dell6100 ( Pentium Microprocessor ) and winNT 4.0 ? Because what is hapening is, if the log space is full, and if we Stop and start the SQL server on Dell system, it is not at all clearing the log space occupied. But in NT it is clearing the LOG.
3. Does any SQL server service Packs affect this..? If any let me know
4. If we create saperate LOG devices, what othere information is stored in the Data devices othere that data. Because in my case, DB1 is occupying more space than the actual data inserted.
ThanX

BACKUP LOG Cannot Be Performed Because There Is No Current Database Backup. BACKUP LOG Is Terminating Abnormally.
Jan 31, 2008
Hi there
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
Thanks
Jane

Design Help – Access SQL Database Behind A Firewall From ASP .NET Pages.
Feb 26, 2004Hi,
I am new to internet development and would like some advice on the technology used to access a SQL database that sits on a network behind a firewall.
** ASP .NET Page ** -> ** Web Server ** -> ** FIREWALL ** -> ** SQL **
So to give an example; from an ASP .NET page on the internet, I would like to populate a DataGrid with the contents of a single table from a SQL database. The SQL database is sitting on our company network behind a firewall.
Could someone please explain / point me in the right direction in how the ASP .NET page / Web Server can securely access the SQL database.
Thanking you in advance

SQL Security :: Full Backup Needed After Restoration Of Database Before Transaction Log Backup
Jul 15, 2015We take a full backup in the early morning and hourly transaction log back during the working hours for one database in the production server. The application team made certain changes to the design of the said database in their development server. The backup from the development server was restored to the production server during working hours. After the restoration should we take a full backup before next transactional logbackup? Would the transactional log backup with out a full backup after the restoration of a database be valid?
View 5 Replies View RelatedRecovery :: Differential Backup Much Larger Than Database / Full Backup
Nov 16, 2015I have a database that is just over 1.5GB and the Full backup that is 13GB not sure how this is since we have compression on for full backups and my other full backups are much smaller than there respective databases...Now my full backup is taken every Sunday night and the differentials are taken every 6 hours after the full backup. Now I have been thrown into this DBA role with little to no experience just what I have picked up and read. So my understanding of backups are limited but what I think I understand is that we take a full backup and the differential only captures what changes in the database so my question is why is my database 1.5GB but my differential is 15.4GB? I have others database that are on the same instance and don't seem to have this problem. I also just noticed that we do not rebuild the index before a full backup like we do on other instances...

Nov 14, 2006Hi,
I have a MS SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition 9.0.2153 which manages my BizTalk Server 2006 Databases. The BizTalk server installer automatically creates a job named Backup BizTalk Server (BizTalkMgmtDb) which should back up the databases and transaction protocolls.
The SQL Server Agent runs under domain-administrator account which has full access to my backup directory D:ackups.
The job executes the following steps:
Step 1: BackupFull:
Command:
exec [dbo].[sp_BackupAllFull_Schedule] 'd' /* Frequency */, 'BTS' /* Name */, 'D:Backups' /* location of backup files */
Step 2: MarkAndBackupLog
Command:
exec [dbo].[sp_MarkAll] 'BTS' /* Log mark name */, 'D:Backups' /* location of backup files */
My challenges are:
1. The job doesn't back up my databases(D:Backups is empty after executing the job)
2. I get every time the following error in error protocol of the job:
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Fehler 4214) BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Fehler 3013).
I have already switched the Databases from full to simple recovery mode and vica versa, it didn't help. Also, the above stored procedures doesn't include neither the TRUNCATE nor the LOG parameters for the logfiles so I wasn't able to solve this issue by adjusting these flags.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

SQL Database Backup Issue - Db Backup Job Failing
Nov 15, 2007I am using sql server 2000 and windows server 2003 standard edition:
My database backup job is failing due to lack of disk space. I am taking the backup onto E drive and the
available free space on E drive is 6.85 GB and there are no other drives I can use for the database backups.
The size of mdf file is 21 GB and that of ldf file is 4.2 GB.
The transaction log back up job of that db ran fine.
This database recovery model is Full and
Auto shrink is not checked.
There is one primary filegroup for the database.
In this situation, I am thinking of the following option:
1. Backup the db and log files onto another network shared drive.
If I want to still use the same server E drive to backup the db and log files instead of using another network shared drives.
how can I do that.
Please let me know the best way of handling this issue.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Is It Possible To Restore From A Database Backup Without A Transaction Log Backup?
Oct 14, 2007I neglected to backup the transaction log as part of the process of backing up the database. Now i only have the backup file for the database and no transaction log backup. When i try to do a restore on the database, i get the error on a "tail log missing" message (which i'm assuming is that it's looking for the t-log backup?).
Is it possible to restore or even restore to a new database? I'm only looking to retreive data from 2 tables within the backup file.
Thanks!

SQL2005 Cannot Backup A Restored SQL2000 Database With Unknow Database Full-text Catalog Database
Nov 15, 2007
We replicate a SQL2000 database (DataBaseA) to a SQL2000 database (DataBaseB) by using the Restore function and hasn't change its logical name but only the physical data path and file name. It is running fine for a year. We use the same way to migrate the DataBaseB to a new SQL2005 server with the Restore function and the daily operation is running perfect. However, when we do the Backup of DatabaseB in the SQL2005, it just prompt the error message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of full-text catalog 'DataBaseA' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please note we left the DataBaseA in the old SQL2000 server.
Please help on how we can delete the Full-text catalog from DatabaseB so we can do a backup
Many Thanks

Restore Of Database Backup To Another Database Makes Users DBO
May 7, 1999Anybody figure a way around this:
In a development server you take a backup and you want to move the entire database to a production server. The production server does not contain the database, users, or logins in master.
When you restore the backup to production in 7.0, the users get moved to DBO because the logins do not exist and then you cannot delete them.
We are having to drop the users from the database on development, back up the database and restore it to production, then recreate the users on production.
This is bogus and did not happen in 6.5 because of the aliases.
Anybody come up with a better way?
How To Backup CE Database Tables And Restore To Newer Database?
Jul 3, 2007I am fairly new to VS 2005 and SQL Server CE. I have developed a Desktop Windows application using VB 2005 and the SQL Compact Edition Database. This application will sell to users via web download.
When they download a service patch, or updated version, I wish for them to retain the data in their present database. In other words, fill the new database with the old data. The new table structures will remain intact except for added columns at the end.
Question is how to save the old data and update the new database with it. Is there an easy way to do this, or do I need to write a module to save a database copy, and update the new database with content at install time?

Dec 1, 2006I have a Subscriber database updated using transactional
replication and want to create a copy for development & testing. The Distribution database is running on the
same 2005 instance as the Subscriber and the Publication database on another
server running SQL Server 2005.
If I use a TSQL script to run the restore, the database is
restored to a usable state but I get the following messages:
Msg 15247, Level 16, State 1, Procedure
sp_MSrepl_check_job_access, Line 112
User does not have permission to perform this action.
The replication agent job [job name] was not removed because
it has a non-standard name; manually remove the job when it is no longer in use.
(I€™ve removed the job name from the message)
RESTORE DATABASE successfully processed 46219 pages in
935.413 seconds (0.404 MB/sec).
It looks like an attempt is being made to restore
replication information too. I note that
the RESTORE statement has a KEEP_REPLICATION options which implies (I would have
thought) that by default the replication information is not be restored.
Incidentally, before implementing replication, backing up
the live database and restoring the backup to a new database took < 7
minutes but running the same process with a Subscriber database backup takes
about 15 minutes.
I€™d be interested to know if anyone has any idea what I€™m
overlooking or doing wrong.

SQL Database Properties - Last Database Backup
Aug 14, 2006Due to a network time skew some time ago, all of the databases on an SQL system now have the following information stamped on them..
Within Enterprise Manager (SQL 2000), The "Last Database Backup" timestamp for each database is showing the year 2025.
Our backup system runs incrementally daily and a weekly full. Unfortunately, the timestamp does not seem to be updating as the year is as I guess in the future.
Can anyone advise of a procedure so as I can wipe this time skew date from each of the databases?
Many thanks folks!
