Backup Of Database Doesn't Take Source DB Offline
Jul 16, 2014
I'm using 2014 SE.I know a backup of a database doesn't take the source DB offline, but then I need to move this DB to another server (for intensive reporting work). At present we restore the DB, but that means putting the DB in single user mode, kicking everyone off, and completing the restore.
I see from 2014 EE notes that "online restore" is possible. EE is of course, mightily expensive.Or perhaps it's possible to configure things to speed up the restore process somehow, so there is less downtime?, the resource impact in creating the backup is quite high, perhaps there's a way to (apart from playing with backup compression) reduce the impact on the source server here?

I have a maintenance plan step to perform transaction log backups. There are a few databases that are offline. The backup seems to fail because it tries to backup the offline databases. The backup step is by itself as one of three subplans, although it also fails when it is the only step in a plan with only one subplan.
I have another server that is only on SP1 and it does not have problems handling the offline databases.
Is this an issue with SP2(9.0.3054)?

I €˜d like to discus with you the following REAL enough disaster scenario:
1. The TEST database is in the FULL backup mode.
2. WE have a full TEST DB backup and all tr. log backups.
3. DBA moved TEST database OFFLINE for maintenance operations.
4. MDF file for TEST DB was removed by mistake.
5. TRANSACTION LOG (LDF) file is OK.
6. DBA want to recover database to the point of failure.
According with MS SQL Server 2000 documentation it is possible.
We need to backup the transaction log , BUT I CANNOT DO THIS.
PLEASE, HELP.
In the same time, I can make LDF backup and recover database to the point of failure, if database is online and I stop/start SQL Server to remove MDF file.

Hi, I am relative newbie to SQLServer. When I try to take a user database offline, the query "hangs," with the query processing circle spinning. The Sharepoint 7 application is running on top of the Enterprise SQL Server 2005 db with several logins sleeping and awaiting commands. No errors are generated until I kill the offline command. Anyone have any ideas? Do I need to kill all the connections?

ok, here is an interesting one.
We have multiple jobs that run the following SQL Backups to Permanent Backup devices.
Backup Database DBX to DBXFull with NoInit - 1 am
Backup Database DBX to DBXDiff with Differential, NoInit - 12 pm
Backup Log DBX to DBXLog with NoInit - every hour on the hour
the devices are in path E:SQLBackups<databasename>
E: is on a SAN
Every Night E: is backed up by legato, When Legato Starts to backup the directory, at the hour a transaction log backup occurs. The Backup Fails and The Database Is Taken OFFLINE.
Questions are as follows.
What is causing the db to be taken offlline?
How can i stop the db from being taken offline while still mainting my current backup strategy.
Temporarily we have stopped tlog backups during the directory backup phase (legato) and then resume them when it is complete.
Difficulty Level: we will not be using Legato's SQL Plugin for the backups, they have to be performed with jobs and SQL Backup.

Hello,few users have problems with our application(ADP/MsAcces2000+SqlServer2000). Whenthey want to open a report which source is a stored procedure, they getmessage that "record source specified..... do not exist" - of course,it's not true.More details:- other users don't have this problem- they have WinXP- all users have the same permissions to SQL objects- I've checked Microsoft KB(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/243532/en-us) and they write about"dbo." before source name - I use that, so it's not a solution. Whatmore, in application there are lists which have SP as row source andwithout "dbo." and it works. (In lists a row source is defined as:"exec <sp_name>", in reports as: "dbo.<sp_name>").- computers have all service packs, new version of MDAC, etc.- I asked another user, who doesn't have this problem on his machine,to login on "bad" machine and he couldn't open reports too.Maybe someone could help? because I don't have more ideas.

Good morning all,
I have created this query in SQL Server 2005 which uses an MS SQL Server data source - I've tested it and it perfroms as it should:
SELECT DISTINCT
WIP.R0 AS [Job No], WIP_R23.R0 AS [Pack No], PlanningM2.R1 AS [Part No], WIP.R17 AS FKF, WIP2.R17 AS FKF2, SUBSTRING(PlanningM2.R0, 1, 3)
AS Ref, PlanningM2.R5 AS Qty, LTRIM(RTRIM(WIP_R23.R23)) AS Shortages, LEN(PlanningM2.R1) AS StrLen, Stock.R2 AS [Stock Qty],
WIP.R10 AS Status, WIP2.R10 AS [Pack Status], WIP.R15 AS [Qty UC]
FROM C001_UNIDATA_WIP_NF AS WIP INNER JOIN
C001_UNIDATA_PLANNINGM_NF AS PlanningM ON WIP.R0 = PlanningM.ASSY INNER JOIN
C001_UNIDATA_PLANNINGM_NF AS PlanningM2 ON PlanningM.R1 = PlanningM2.ASSY INNER JOIN
C001_UNIDATA_WIP_R23 AS WIP_R23 ON PlanningM.R1 = WIP_R23.R0 INNER JOIN
C001_UNIDATA_WIP_NF AS WIP2 ON WIP_R23.R0 = WIP2.R0 INNER JOIN
C001_UNIDATA_STOCK_NF AS Stock ON PlanningM2.R1 = Stock.R0
WHERE (WIP_R23.R23 IS NULL) AND (WIP.R0 LIKE N'%' + @RP1 + N'%') OR
(WIP.R0 LIKE N'%' + @RP1 + N'%') AND (PlanningM2.R1 = RIGHT(LTRIM(RTRIM(WIP_R23.R23)), LEN(PlanningM2.R1)))
ORDER BY [Job No], [Pack No]
I am now trying to recreate this query using ODBC and am having one helluva problem with it as it doesn't seem to like many of the functions I've used, such as LTRIM, RTRIM, LEN, RIGHT and won't accept the parameter I've included, or any other parameter come to think of it.
Has anyone else had a similar problem at all, and could you direct me to a solution if you have?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Hi all,
We have a serious problem.
The database in SQL Server 6.5 is marked offline
and the error log displayed the following messages :
udopen : file 'F:Filename.DAT' is incorrect size (614400 bytes, should be 537600)
udactivate (primary) : failed to open device 'F:Filename.DAT' for vdn 131
The entries for the device exists in sysusages and sysdevices.
Anyone encountered this before?
Please help if you know how we can get the database online, again.
Many Thanks.

Over the weekend I had one of my databases taken offline. To my knowledge no one explicitly took this database offline. This isn't to say that someone did and is refusing to speak up. I'm just trying to find some answers.
I do know that our IT dept. did maintenance to a number of our servers and they swear nothing was done to this one. So my question is, "Is there any SQL process that can take a database offline."
I've checked the log files but there isn't anything that directly points to that database being taken offline.
Running Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4, SQL 2000 SP3 on a NT INTEL X86 platform.
Any ideas or comments are appreciated!

What exactly is database offline? I tried to google it but didn't get what I was looking for.
One of my environments has few users. They attach databases and run an application to produce the results. Sometimes they forget to detach databases after their use and these databases remain in SQL Server. Sometimes they leave the database to use it in future.
At the moment there are about 900 databases attached. I believe these attached databases are using the servers resources and therefore, decrease performance. Is this correct?
I was thinking to force the users to detach databases that they do not need and attach when they need. Then thought why shouldn't just set the database to offline and take it back online when they need. Does this increase performance? Does this save server's resources?
Thanks,
Canada DBA

I've installed SQL Express SP1 on a Windows 2003 server and I'm trying to get a new MySQL datasource to be recognized in the DTSWizard. A MySQL database needs to be moved over to a MS SQL server due to software requirements (which weren't looked at before the site was created). I've installed the ODBC Connector/MySQL software and created the System DSN (named "MySQL DB Import) in the Administrative Tools/Data Sources (ODBC) tool. When I start up the DTS wizard for SQL Express however, I do not get my new data source in the selection options for data sources. I am following the instructions on this page: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2000/deploy/mysql.mspx#ERJAE What am I missing?

Hi All there!I am quite new in MS SQL administration so let me explain how it workon Your instances of SQL Servers.We have several DTS packages on our server, all of them managed onsome station which have seriously hardvare problem. So we wolud liketo catch two problems at one time and decided to develop systematicway of DTS manipulation.One of several aspects of this operation would be migration fromsystem ODBC data sources definitions into file ODBC sources ( .dsnfiles) in order to make them easier to manage ( backup for example,and even reusability on other workstations). All .dsn files should belocated on some network resource (\server\directory...) which wouldbe set as default ODBC directory in ODBC administrator on managementstation.When I begin to do so, then it apears that EM DTS Designer does notremember the path to the DSN files ( for example on design panel Ichose file dsn and by browse button point at the certain .dsn file,and then after DTS save the path disapears).Do You use this facility ( file .dsn) in DTS EM Designer, or maybe MShas it treated as usless, and nobody wants to use this?RegardsK

I have an XML file that my XML Source component is accessing. I have noticed that is possible to set a column in the external metadata collection to a certain datatype and the matching output column to a different datatype and this doesn't not generate a warning like it does with other source components (e.g. Flat File Source Adapter).
Try it. Set a column in your external metadata to have a datatype of DT_WSTR. Set the matching output column to DT_UI8. You will NOT get a validation error. I think you should.
This behaviour was noticed on RTM (i.e. no service pack installed) by the way.
I think this is a bug. Anyone agree?

I currently have a very long script that I need to run on several servers through an SSIS package. The issue stems from servers that have one or two databases offline. This causes the script to fail. Is there an easy way to get the script to either run on offline databases or skip those that are offline? Thanks

I'm going overseas this summer with my laptop and I have to continue working on a project. Unfortunately that laptop only has Windows Vista Home Premium. I can't afford to get the upgrade but am in the position of having to copy a database from the server to my laptop so I can continue working on it. What I need to do is find a way to copy the database over but in the case where the two computers aren't connected over a network. Is this possible? I tried to simply copy the .mdb, but there were permissions errors (of course). Is there a way to do this? It's pretty important that I get it on the laptop one way or another. Thank you!

Hello ,
I have got a script which checks for the databases that are offline. and mails the dba when any of the database is offline.
When I schedule the job , for every hour , it gives me an blank mail only with the subject ' status of database on testsql' even though no databases are offline.
So how can I change the script , so that it mails the dba only when a database is offline even though its scheduled every hour or half an hour.
The script is:
Set NoCount on
DECLARE @dbname VARCHAR(100)
deCLARE @Status varchar(100)
Declare @Message VARCHAR(8000)
DECLARE @date varchar(100)
set @date = convert(varchar(100), getdate(),109)
set @Message = ''DECLARE dbname_cursor
CURSOR FOR SELECT [name], CONVERT(varchar(30),DATABASEPROPERTYEX(name,'Statu s'))
as [Status] FROM master..sysdatabases WHERE CONVERT(varchar(30),DATABASEPROPERTYEX(name,'Statu s')) = 'OFFLINE'
order by name
OPEN dbname_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM dbname_cursor INTO @dbname, @Status
WHILE
@@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN select @message = @message + @@Servername + '-' + @dbname + ' - ' + @Status + Char(13)+ ‘- ‘ + @date
FETCH NEXT FROM dbname_cursor INTO @dbname, @Status
END
CLOSE dbname_cursor
DEALLOCATE dbname_cursor
print @message
EXEC master.dbo.xp_smtp_sendmail
@FROM = N'testsql2000@is.depaul.edu',
@TO = N'dvaddi@depaul.edu',
@server = N'smtp.depaul.edu',
@subject = N'Status of the Database on Testsqlserver!',
@type = N'text/html',
@message = @message
Thanks

I have a Connection manager to an Excel workbook. I've set it up as Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0Â Excel 8.0;HDR=NoWhen I create the DataFlow OLE DB source, the Name of Table or View dropdown shows only 3 items:
Resources$Â Â Resources$_Â and Volumes$_
My workbook has 2 tabs (Resources and Volumes; Volumes is hidden), two named ranges of the same name (Resources and Volumes)Â and a bunch of other named ranges.
Why does the drop down only show these three things, and only the first one (the first tab Resources$) actually works.
The other two give a nasty message (0xC02020E8 Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)
Why can't I see my named ranges?New user to 2005

I am trying to place a database offline.
When I right in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio on the database > Take Offline
Set offline failed for Database 'OperationsManagerAC'.
Transaction (Process ID 56) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction. ALTER DATABASE statement failed. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1205)
So I am trying with some queries to pass the database from Single user to multi user but it fails
USE [master]
GO
ALTER DATABASE OperationsManagerAC SET MULTI_USER GO

Msg 5069, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER DATABASE statement failed.
I tried also
alter DATABASE OperationsManagerAC SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
IT FAILS AS WELL... with the same error... how to run the SQL Statements without using

I am assuming that something else must be install from either Microsoft Office or SQL Server 2005. I am using Microsoft Office 2003 on a Window XP machine. Does anyone know what I need to do to correct this.

It's well known issue, that one can't use any dataset fields in a
report header/footer directly. One of the approach is to create
query-based parameter that basically equals
=First(Fields!@FieldName@.Value, "@DataSetName@") and use that
parameter value instead. But it doesn't work in my case!
My report displays some entity description and is parametrized with
EntityID param. Its header contains entity name that, according to the
approach, is queried from the data source through the EntityName
report parameter. There's important issue: the report is displayed in
ReportViewer control, that is embedded into my application and entity
ID parameter isn't ser by user in ReportViewer parameters area. Its
default value is changed by the application with SetReportParameters()
web method every time a user wants to view the report according to the
entity the user is exploring in the application. But after the report
has been rendered, its header always contains not actual (outdated)
entity name. Nevertheless, the report body contains actual data
(including entity name). If I alter entity ID parameter in ReportViewer
or in web-based Report Manager and refresh report, header displays
correct entity name.
What's wrong in the workflow described?

If you take a database offline to prevent users from accessing it, and then restart the server, will the database be back online when the server starts up?
If so, is there an option to prevent this from happening so that a database taken offline will remain offline until it is manually put online again by an administrator?

Dear All,
One of my users created a MSDE database and did not realise that the limit is 2GB. I can not access the database. Is there anyway I can recover it?
They do not have a backup.
Could I create a new database in Standard Edition and then attach the Data and log files from the MSDE database?
Would that work?

my package contains
Two connections ==> one is using OLEDB connecting to SQL server 2005 and the other using ADO.NET's ODBC option to connect to mysql;
Two "Execute SQL Task" ==> one gets maximum ID(bigint) from a SQL server table and the other gets the maximum ID(unsigned) from a mysql's table and bind them to two variables ID1(string) and ID2 (int 64). http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1902297&SiteID=17&mode=1 ;
And one DataFlow whose data source is DataReader Source which queries mysql "select * from table where ID > cast(@ID1 as signed) and ID <= cast(@ID2 as signed) ". To debug, I put a DataViewer between Data Flow Source and Data Flow Destination.
Run the package, I found no data coming into DataViewer and no error message as well. However if I remove the "<=" sign and change the DataReader Source query to "select * from table where ID > cast(@ID1 as signed)", It works perfectly. Initially I thought it's variable @ID2's issue. But if I replace "<=" sign with ">=" sign in the query ==> "select * from table where ID >= (cast(@ID2 as signed) -100)", there is no problem. After tried many times, I found that query just doesn't work with "<" sign or "between". Plus the result of running package tells it's successful but just no records got inserted into Data Flow Destination.
Anyone could help? Thanks!
