Is it possible to take a backup of a database and load it to another server?
I know the users id will be messed up. But, I don't want to do a detach
or a DTS task. I just want to verify that the backup is good.
thanks
Anyone familiar w/ a utility/procedure which will allow me to:
LOAD a Sybase backup file (containing mulitple tables - tblA, tblB, tblC, etc) into a SQL Server database (tblA, tblB, tblC, etc)
Can DTS use a SYBASE backup file as input? (please elaborate)
(DB2 allows you to exec a LOAD utility using a backup file as input)
thx in advance,
BT
I posted this a while back with no responses...does anyone know of another SQL Server discussion site that I can post this question to? I'm still having problems.
TIA,Mike

I'm receiving the following error at one of my production sites and can't determine the problem. I'm restoring one table to tempdb, but the LOAD command isn't finding the table definition/address information in SYSOBJECTS for that table. I've ran a dbcc checktable on sysobjects and it's fine. Any other suggestions? (FYI - there are some errors when running a checkdb, but none on sysobjects - a FIX_AL is scheduled to be run soon.).
THX,
Mike

Hello,
I would like to ask you if there is better to recreate database structure on 2005 from 2000 and move data or to just load
2000 backup.
Currently I loaded the backup, but I am wondering if there might be slightly better performance on 2005 when recreating structure on 2005 to loading 2000 backup?
Does loading 2000 backup create 2005 binary structure?
Thanks for help in advance
Hi,
Here I will describe my problem.
1. We are loading large amount of data from database on background thread which is starting on Application_start event in global.aspx.cs file.The data is later cached for subsquent request to improve the performance.
2. Now when we put the application on web farm garden, it is not able to load the application.
3. We are sending the request the servers through Router kind of application.
4 This application is working fine on single server enviornment.
Please help us.

I just have done the SSIS example in the tutorial document included when install SQL 2005 ENT. I have a problem that whenever I test to run, the service load all data from source with out noticing about the data (I mean it load all the data to the destination), I do it several time and it continue to load all without checking. That mean the data is dublicated when the schedule run???
I think there should be a paramete or something like that to help the engine just load the new data to the destination. Could you help please?
Thank
SQL Server 2008 r2 - 6 GB memory...I attempted a backup on a 500GB database but it was taking way too long. I checked the resources on the box and saw the CPU at 100%. I checked the SQL Server activity log and saw a hung query (user was not even logged on) that had multiple threads so I killed it and now the CPU utilization is back to normal.
Trouble is, now all of the threads in the activity monitor for the backup show 'suspended' and the backup appears to be not doing anything.
Need to restore database,here's the scenario:
Data got deleted on Friday evening, need to have database restored to FRiday afternoon and also some data has been entered on Monday, which needs to be there.
Windows 2003 backup utility uses the shadow copy option that allows it to copy open files.
Therefore, can I use this utility to backup the .mdf and .ldf files for my SQL 2000 database?
I can then attach the .mdf files if I need to restore the database to another server.
Can anyone tell me if this is safe? I've tried it and it worked but I'm worried there maybe some lurking danger in using this approach.
I've written a custom script to delete backup files from location. But unable to modify now to count the number of files are deleted. How to modify the script...
/* Script to delete older than N days backup from a specific directory */
USE [db_admin]
GO
IF OBJECT_ID('usp_DeleteBackup', 'P') IS NOT NULL
DROP PROC usp_DeleteBackup
GO
[Code] .....
I have only one tape drive.
My server is using the SQL server 2005 backup tool and arcserve backup tool to backup different files .
Everytime I need to disable and enable the tape device driver (in device manager /windows) before I can use SQL server 2005 backup tool.
Everytime I need to disable and enable the tape device driver (in device manager /windows) before I can use arcserve backup tool.
It seems that the tape device resource is held by softwares even the tape drive is not in use.
What should I do to make the tape drive shared by different softwares?

I want to know how people are backup up their win2k system and SQL 2000 server. If you want a run backup once a night and first backup win2k file system and then run backup using sql agent will that work?
Thanks.
SQL 7.0 SP1.
We do SQL Server backup and also third part backup (with SQL agent active) of SQL Server databases.
Sometimes happen this situation:
01.00 SQL Server backup of DB1
01.00 third part backup of DB1
02.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.30 SQL Server differnatial DB backup of DB1
04.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
or this situation:
01.00 SQL Server backup of DB1
02.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.10 third part backup of DB1
03.30 SQL Server differnatial DB backup of DB1
04.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
My questions now are:
Are my SQL Server backups valid (DB,Differenatial and T-LOG)?
In case of a restore operation, can I use my SQL Server backups without problem?
In other words, can we leave the third part backup tool active or it should be taken away?
Can anybody clarify this for me?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
How can i install Report server on a load balanced server.. My sql server is on a different machine and we have 2 webservers where we need to install Reporting services. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you,

Please help. We have no idea what is wrong.
Error message occurs at the end of the load.
"Error at Destination for Row number 6218607. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1. SqlDumpExecptionHandler: Preocess 11 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process."

I want to schedule a job on a 7.0 server that will run a LOAD DATABASE command on a 6.5 server. Is there a way to do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, I've read from a topic in this forum saying that we could store PDF files in a hard drive location and import the link into a table of database in SQL server 2005, but i don't know how. So I really appreciate if someone could show me how to write a store procedure or a scripto to do this?
And by the way, i have another question. From that PDF files link, is there any way that we could call that pdf files and print that files from SQL script or SQL store procedure. Thanks a lot

I tried to load data from the table in different server.
If I just want to limit one year data ( using date_key in that table ) then what task do I need to do that?
Please let me know.
Thanks.
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

Hi there,
How do i load a XML document saved in SQL server as a XML data type into
XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();xdoc.Load(// INTO HERE );
I can load a xml file saved to disk but haven't figured out how to retrive from a recordset. I have tried the following:
XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument();xdoc.Load(GetXmlFile(pnrID).ToString());
public string GetXmlFile(int pnrID){
SqlConnection cnn = null;SqlCommand cmd = null;
string XML = "";
try {
cnn = new SqlConnection(); cnn.ConnectionString = "Server=;Initial Catalog=;UID=;PWD=;"; cnn.Open();
string selectQry = "SELECT [XML] FROM [TEMP_PNR] WHERE PnrID = @PnrID";
cmd = new SqlCommand(selectQry, cnn);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@pnrID", pnrID);
SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
if (rdr.Read()) XML = rdr.GetSqlXml(0).ToString();
}
catch (Exception ex) { throw ex; }
finally { cmd.Dispose(); cnn.Close(); }
return XML;
}
But this genereates the following error: Could not find file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDESystem.Data.SqlTypes.SqlXml'.
Any idea how i can achive this?
Hi!Currently we only have one SQL Server database in our production system. I would like to add one more SQL server 2000 database. I would like to configure them so that both server share the load and Failover. I did some research and I found that I can do this by installing the OS (Windows 2000 Server Enterprise Edition) and SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition on both machines using the windows clustering. I want both servers to be active. They both have a copy of the production data. What I don't know is that, if it is possible to synchronize the data on both databases using SQL Server Replication utitlites. From what I know one SQL Server must be Publisher and one Subscriber. Can one sql server be both? Because I want both sql server to be identical. Can I set up replication between more than 2 servers? We just need to add one server for now but I would like it to be expandable. In the future we may need more.So Please provide me some ideas and answers about the following.1- Can two SQL Server cross replicate (both update each other in order to be identical)?2 -Does replication work beyond 2 servers.?3- If you were to set up a production database; what do you recommend considering the load balancing and Failover using Windows 2000 Server Enterprise Edition and SQL Sever 20000 Enterprise Edition?Thanks,Michael

hi gurus,
im sure someone may have already posted this thread once before, but i cant seem find any topics using the search engines.

thanks in advance
I have to periodically overwrite selected tables in one environment (Prod) with the contents of the same named tables from another environment (Staging).
There are about 200 tables involved.
In SQL Server what would be the best way to do this and minimize logging?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
The company that I work for has an internet application that has been running in our client's environment for 2 years.
The SQL box is a quad Xeon 750 with 4 gig of ram and over 50gig of disk. This box has 4 databases that are used for the application. The primary database is about 1.5gig in size (.mdf file) the others are relatively small.
The box is queried from a separate windows 2000 server box with our COM based application running under IIS.
The boxes are located on the same switched LAN.
Up until recently the application has been running fine, but all of a sudden we have had masses of database time outs and the processor utilisation is always 80-100. In turn these time outs crash IIS eventually.
I Understand all of the ideas about increasing the timeout in a command object, etc.
I have monitored blocking on the SQL server and over a 30 minute period of live usage I saw 1 block and 0 deadlocks.
In addition to the above often our application gets an imediate time out error, hence after no time.
We have also monitored the network bandwidth between the two boxes and they only use about 30% on average of available bandwidth.
My 1st question is - Does SQL give a time out error (hence refuses connections) if it is running at 100% and cannot handle any more load??
My 2nd question is, In other peoples experience is the box we are using powerful enough.
My 3rd question is, Can the network have an effect on the time outs even though there is plenty of bandwidth.
Thank you in advance for your time in reading this and I appreciate any input that you may have.

anyone having any idea to import these files either through integration services or any other tool ???
Hi There
I have not had much luck finding info in BOL for tsql or SSIS that tells one how to load images on the file system into sql server 2005.
All i have really been able to find is that IMAGE data type will not be used in future and that one should use a varbinary(max) data type.
I am thinking of using a for each file loop in SSIS, but then how do i load the images (.tif) into a sql server database table ? Perhaps i need to use a sql task with the filepath , or an active x script.
Anyway if anyone knows how i can load images from the file system into sql server 2005, please let me know.
Thanx
Hi,
I have a custom library (ReportLibary.dll) and ı added it as a reference to the report (Report.rdl). I also copied the dll file to ..IDEPrivateAssemblies. The report uses a methot from the dll to get some data.
When ı run the report from my local computer there is no problem, the data is generated from the dll. But when I depoy it to the sever an exception occurs.
"Error while loading code module: €˜ReportLibary, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null€™. Details: Could not load file or assembly 'ReportLibary, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. Can not find the file. d:...Report.rdl"
I hope ı can find a solution to my problem. Thanks in advance.
I need to update a number of sql server tables, the data sources for these coming from a number of stored procedures. I want a generic way of getting the data and then passing this data to the tables.I am thinking of doing this for each table:Populating a datasetWriting this dataset to XMLUsing SQLXML Bulk Load to pass this XML to the database to updateI can create the xml data file by:
dataset.WriteXml("C:data.xml")The problem I have is that the example (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/316005/en-us) I looked at relies on the schema being defined:<?xml version="1.0" ?><Schema xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data" xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml:datatypes" xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-sql" > <ElementType name="CustomerId" dt:type="int" /> <ElementType name="CompanyName" dt:type="string" /> <ElementType name="City" dt:type="string" /> <ElementType name="ROOT" sql:is-constant="1"> <element type="Customers" /> </ElementType> <ElementType name="Customers" sql:relation="Customer"> <element type="CustomerId" sql:field="CustomerId" /> <element type="CompanyName" sql:field="CompanyName" /> <element type="City" sql:field="City" /> </ElementType></Schema>Is there any way I can create the schema 'on the fly' similar to how I did for the data source file.As I could then pass these files to the database:objBL.Execute ("schema.xml","data.xml");
can anyone out there help me to solve this problem???
