Backup And Restore Of A User's Default Database
May 17, 2007
Hello.
I am trying to perform a backup and restore of a user's default database. the user- "myuser", was created with a default database. I have backed the user database and tried to restore it in different ways and I always get the same error when trying to connect with the user after restore:
"Cannot open user default database.Login failed (error 4064)".
It happens if I don't delete the user before restoring the database.
If I try to delete the user before restore and create it afterwards, when I try to set the default user database to the same database I get the error:
"user, group or role 'myuser' already exist in the database"
And when I try to delete the user from the restored database (in order to recreate it) I cannot, because the user's schema is connected to objects in the database.
Can anyone help?... How do I restore??
Thanx,
Nili.

I am confused regarding why the default behavior of this option is to use file no 1 if the option is not specified? If I take two backups on different days, weeks, months, etc. and write them to the same Backup set, the second and most recent backup by the way gets the higher file number (position) as one would expect. What is incomprehensible to me is why the decision was made to restore the oldest backup from the backup set if you do not specify with file no? Seems like common sense that I would NEVER want to restore the oldest backup by default and would most-likely always want to restore the most recent backup by default!
If anyone has suggestions on how I could suggest that the behavior of this option be changed, I would appreciate it, as this has caused me much pain.

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',
REPLACE
And also i tried like
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME>
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?
Thanks in Advance,

Hi, I'm new to SQL Express 2005.
I found information regarding : "Cannot open user default database. Login failed."on this forum but I think that in my case it's a bit different issue.
I have a website (ASP.NET 2.0) accessing DB, in the mean time Windows Service tries to update some data in the same DB (Service runs as NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SYSTEM). The second connection is rejected: "Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user ....".
Problem occurs only when both: service and website are running at the same time. So service and website are running without problems when they are connecting DB exclusively.
My connection string is:
"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="|DataDirectory|spider-lab.mdf";Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
I would be grateful if you can help me

Hi,
I'm sorry if this is simple, I'm no DBA but have been tasked with solving this problem...
We have a website that connects via ODBC to SQL Server (2k sp1) and at the moment I am getting back about every other time:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
So this is NOT happening every single time. Now I have seen Microsoft KB - 307864 and I can see that none of the databases are marked as suspect, the database I am trying to connect to does exist and is attached and, I have run the command to switch the database to multi-user mode.
The probable cause of this problem is that a while ago we had a hard-drive failure and I was forced to reattach some old datafiles (mdf,ldf) as the database. This seemed ok and I can view data etc in enterprise manager no problem.
I have checked for orphaned users and the user I am logging in with from the webpage is not listed.
So does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening, and more frustratingly for me, why is it only happening some of the time.
Thanks for your help, appreciated.
James.

Hi!
I have a SQL 2000 database that has several tables with the same name but with different users/logins.
Example:
Database "Customers"
Table Customer with user / login CompanyA
Table Customer with user / login CompanyB
Table Contact with user / login CompanyA
Table Contact with user / login CompanyB
I need to split these into two different database's
Database "CustomersA"
Table Customer with user / login CompanyA
Table Contact with user / login CompanyA
Database "CustomersB"
Table Customer with user / login CompanyB
Table Contact with user / login CompanyB
Any good idea how to do this?

I should restore a SQL Server 2005 Database from backup. The backup contains three files, named user.bak0, user.bak1 and user.bak2.
How is the syntax of the restore filelistonly and the restore database ... ?
I usualy write
restore filelistonly from disk = 'path and filenam.bak'
restore database. zy
from disk = 'path and filename.bak'
with replace,
move.....
move....
This works but I cannot use it with a splitted backup file. The files are much too big to put together to one file.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I 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!

My DBA does a backup of the database and then it gets encrypted and compressed using PGP. This file is sent via ftp to an outside vendor. When they receive it, decrypt it and try to restore, they get the following error:
The media family on device c:dynaxoto1927131153 is incorrectly formed. Sql Server cannot process this media family”
We have tried the process in reverse where we have the vendor send us a file and it works fine.
Please provide some insight.
Thanks,

Hi i've tried a few remote administration tools including Microsofts own Web Data Administrator for SQL server... but none of them seem to do what is essential to me and that is backup/restore databases to a file.
Does anyone know of a free tool that can just backup/restore databases remotely. I dont really want to have to use export/import data as things like triggers get lost when using Microsoft Web data administrator.
A free web tool written in ASP.NET or ASP would be ideal. But PHP would also be fine.
I can ftp to the webserver in question to download the backup file and upload a file which needs restoring but i need a web tool to carry out the operations.
Or if there is another method that would work please let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
I've got a following problem: I have a VB 2005 application that uses SQL Server 2005 Express as DB engine. This application has it's own database stored in mdf file, e.g. invoices.mdf with corresponding log file.
I'd like to give users opportunity to backup and restore this DB file from this application (there won't be a system administrator, only end-users). Unfortunatelly after I connect to this database (using user instance of SQL Server), I'm unable to read or copy it, despite the fact, that I close all connections. And I'm sure that all connections are closed.
Database files become accessible for reading after I close the whole application.
I've tried to detach this database using sp_detach_db prcedure, but it can't be done with database I'm connected to.
I will be grateful for any help.

I am by no means a db administrator, so I apologize for my ignorance. However I do know that I screwed up and am unable to find the solution...
The small company I work for has a development SQL Server where we do testing and development for web based applications. While using SQL Server Enteprise Manager I accidentally dropped the user's default default database.
I have always been able to access the enteprise manager via windows authentication, but now I am unable to. Is there any way to set the default database back to 'master'? Currently I cannot connect with SQL Query Analyzer for the same reasons, and do not have any other access except via windows authentication. Is there any hope? Any help is much appreciated.

I work with Microsoft visual studio 2005.
i get data from a table by ADO.NET :
SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(strConnectionString);
sqlConn.Open();
.....
it works fine.
but when i open the SQL Server 2005 express edition and connect to the server (inside the same computer) and run the code again ,the Open() function fails with the exception :
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
disconnecting the server doesn't help and even closing the SQL Server 2005 application doesn't help.
Only restarting the computer enables the Open() command to work again.
Why ?

Anybody 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?

I 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?

I need to restore a database (that was backed up thru enterprise manager
and then burned to a CD) to a new computer that I just installed SQL
server 7.0 desktop version (NT workstation 4.0). I created a backup set
of a bogus database on the new computer, then copied the real database
from CD to that location. It won't let me restore it that way, does anyone
know how else to approach it? Thanks.

Hi all,
I want to transfer a database from one MS SQL Server 7.0 to another.
When I create a new database (SQL Server 7.0) and then try to load a backup, I always end up with a message that the backup database is not identical with the destination database. That is correct and I know it, so what!? Is there any other possibility to transfer a database other than Export/Import. Using this method took me about 48 hours for 6 GByte database!
All suggestions are welcome
Thank you

I want to backup an SQL Server database through a client application written in VB 6.0, and not through the Enterprize Manager.
I use the SQLDMO Objects Library to backup the database to the SQL Server machine through my application,
but there are the following problems:
a. The backup can be done only locally to the SQL Server machine. Is there any way to bypass this restriction?
b. To get the Directories Structure of this machine i use the xp_FixedDrives, xp_Subdirs stored procedures.
That's ok for the Backup operation but i do not have a way to view the FILES to perform Restore operation.
Of cource VB function Dir() cannot be used to view files on the server because of access restrictions.
Is there any workaround for that?
