Using SQL Server 2005, I have two databases.
AppDB - The main application database.
GeoDB - A somewhat static ZIP code / states / other geographic stuff database
I need to have some foreign key columns in tables in AppDB reference columns in the GeoDB database tables. Eventually other application database besides AppDB will be doing the same thing in our infrastructure. After googling and reading for days, here is what I think I know:
You cannot create foreign keys that reference tables in another database in SQL Server.
You cannot create foreign keys that reference columns in a view, and you definitely cannot make an index on a view that has base tables in another database.
You can create a trigger that references tables in another database, but this can be flaky? (nested/recursive trigger problem).
SQLServer2005 supports multiple schemas within the same database. Maybe I should logically separate my databases this way? Seems like it would be a tough solution to manage since I already have some databases live in production that will eventually use this 'static' GeoDB. Also, seems like itwouldn't be as portable as keeping the GeoDB info in its own database, but maybe I'm being too software engineer-ish here - afraid of low cohesion, high coupling.
I will greatly appreciate any advice I can get, any links to articles, or any more options I am missing.
Thanks,Adam Nofsinger

Is it possible to get a list of all the fixes and enhancements that are going into SP1 for SSIS? This will make it alot easier to test seeing as we will know what we are looking for.

Hi Group,
I'm trying to test an ASP application in 'isolation' and seem to be having problems with connecting to the Server.
The setup is EXACTLY like the production environment except for the fact that I am using the Beta version of SQL.
The error refers to SQL Server not existing. I get this error also if I try to open the Query Analyzer without FIRST starting the Services via the Service Manager - so I think it is probably something wrong with the Beta Installation rather than using the BETA version as a back-end.
I've tried using the Computer name as the Server to connect to as well as 127.0.0.0 - neither seem to want to connect.
I can connect manually and see the Database objects. I've even connected, left the connection open and tried running the application again. I still get the same error.
Has anyone experienced this before? i.e not being able to connect to a BETA version of SQL to test an ASP application locally.
TIA

im trying to set up maintenance plan for the check database integrity...
In sql 2000 you get a nice little log in SQL Logs
DBCC CHECKDB (WSS_Search_db3) executed by xxx found 0 errors and repaired 0 errors. Elapsed time: 0 hours 0 minutes 1 seconds.
But in SQL 2005
Im not getting a nice log of this but getting it against some system database and not the database i selected
Date1/22/2008 5:19:43 PM

Anyone got this to work?
Trying to get the same message i got for SQL 2000 or at least so i can confirm it ran.
Hi,
I have no way to test this. If let's say the database has logical integrity errors, will it throw back an error to the Check database integrity object such that, the error arrow (the red line which is the error handler stuff) will be triggered for notification purposes?

what does check database integrity in maintenance plan do.
i heard that the transactional log growth in sql server should be fixed to maximum available disk space and must be monitore the threshold through maintenance plan.how can it be done. please advice me through maintance plan instead of
shrinking the log as it is unnecessary IO to the disk.
How often is the check database integrity scheduled. is it daily or weekly.
I have a database hosted that doesnt passes the integrity test. Here is the error it gives :
Executing the query "USE [db_cs]
failed with the following error: "Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'db_cs'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Any idea whats wrong and how I can let the integrity test pass for this db.
Thanks,

Since most use SQL server, I thought I would post the question here.Is it possible, or is there a product or DBMS that enforces referential integrity across multiple databases and database types? Such as SQL Server, Oracle, etc...Thanks,Zath
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have setup a full maintenance plan on SQL2005. When I run the job, I don't see any error but by loooking at the Log file viewer it appears that Check Database Integrity step failed because :

Moreover, when I run DBCC CHECKDB from the console I have no error message. Any clue?

Hi,
I want to what check database integrity task does in Maintenance plan..
Anyone help.
I searched the forum on this topic and saw the following explanation on Check Database Integrity Task, by DarrenSQLIS.
"The Check Database integrity task will fail if the DB has a problem. The task fails; the details are raised in the error event and dumped to the log etc. You can use on Failure precedence constraints or an OnError event handler to capture that failure and do something if you wish."
Here is the link to the quote above.

I would like to continue this discussion on this new thread to help my understanding.
I understand that this command does dbcc checkdb( ) command on a specified server for the databases you want to check. And if a database has a problem the task will fail and raise an OnError event. DarrenSQLIS goes on to say that the error is dumped to a log. What log is this? Where do I specifiy the location of this log?
Our system is 24/7, ldf file disk space is 30 gb.
As per the advice given by somebody
i set ldf initial log size as 29 gb and restricted the growth and set the autogrowth to 500 mb
i did not run and shrink ldf command on daily basis. this is the advice given by another dba.
then he suggested to create a maintenance plan to check database integrity check. whick will
check the disk space threshold.
i did not understand how will the maintenance plan check the disk space and give an alert.
where should i check the alert for this maintenance plan. secondly how can i stop my database log file to deliver a message that my disk is full.
please suggest me a best method. where i am wrong , how should i handle the situation without the dba monitoring.
and our system has lot of batches running for every minute.
what are the different testing we can do for the database mirroring with witness and without witness ??
thanks
anybody do database backup file testing ?
After you backup database to tape, do you do testing on file on tape ?
how frequent you do so ? and What the procedure?

Hi,
I want to automate the process of database integrity checks in sql server any suggestions how to do
Hello All,
I was wondering if anybody can help me with the following question:
I'm working on the application where the Database, it's table (2) and several stored procedures are involved. The database is SQL Server 2000. It's also very old and involves a lot of operations, stored proc and so on. I just need to re-write a piece of the app which is using existing stored proc. Most of them are DELETE, INSERT and so on. I don't want to work with real stage DB and need to make a copy of the Database to my Dev box. So I tried:
* Right click, All Tasks, Export Data into the newly created database on my dev box.
That doesn't work, every time I try doing it, it fails somewhere in the middle of the process. I'm thinking it happens because of complexity of the database. I tried several options there already. Still nothing. I need the whole databse to be copied because I'm not sure which stored proc the app is using so I need them all, and tables too. Is there another way of doing this?
Thank you,
Tatyana
Is there a way to disable referential integrity on all destination tables for an import?
Thanks.
In SQL Server 2012 (also 2005 and 2008), can you have Referential Integrity across a Database? Across a Schema?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi gurus:
I met a very strange problem recently. I set up a database integrity check maintenance plan. But this job failed every time. I looked into the logs, the error message was that Databases that have a compatibility level of 70 (SQL Server version 7.0) will be skipped. I used the sp_helpdb to check the version of the databases included in my maintenance plan. The sp result shows that all the databases are above version 80....
Even more strange, i can successfully run the dbcc check query on each database.
Any comment and suggestion will be very appreciated.
Hi All,
I have built a package that firstly shrinks a database and then backs it up which is scheduled to run each day, but I would like to add a check (Check Database Integrity) in as the first task and if the Database checks out ok then continue on, if not send an email.
Now, I am unsure if the Check Database Integrity Task in SSIS actually returns the success or failure message back to the package that I am after. The SQL behind the task includes the NO_INFOMSGS option.
Can anyone advise if it is possible to have the status/integrity of the database returned to the SSIS task and to proceed based on the result?

Hi all,
I am writing a portion of an app that is of intensely high online eCommerce usage. I have a question about identity columns and locking or not.
What I am doing is, I have two tables (normalized), one is OrderDemographics(firstname,lastname,ccum,etc) the other is OrderItems. I have the primary key of OrderDemographics as a column called 'ID' (an Identity Integer that is incrementing). In the OrderItems table, the 'OrderID' column is a foreign key to the OrderDemographics Primary Key column 'ID'.
What I have previously done is to insert the demographics into OrderDemographics, then do a 'select top 1 ID from OrderDemographics order by ID DESC' to get that last ID, since you can't tell what it is until you add another row....
The problem is, there's up to 20,000 users/sessions at once and there is a possiblity that in the fraction of a second it takes to select back that ID integer and use it for the initial OrderItems row, some other user might have clicked 'order' a fraction of a second after the first user and created another row in OrderDemographics, thus incrementing the ID column and throwing all the items that Customer #1 orders into Customer #2's order....
How do I lock a SQL table or lock the Application in .NET to handle this problem and keep it from occurring?
Thanks, appreciate it.
In our production we have a database by name MyDb.The application team wanted another database by the name MyDbOld which contains the data of Mydb 1 month old. So I created a database MyDbOld in other instance(test) and restored MyDbOld from the one month backup of MyDb in production server. In test instance I backed MyDbOld as MyDbOld.bak...
In the production instance I created a new DB by the name MyDbOld and restored the MyDbOld in the production from the backup of MyDbold.bak in the test instance. Now I have 2 databases in the production instance ie MyDb and 2)MyDbOld. However I find the logical names of both the databases to be the same although the database name and the physical file name to be different.My questions are-:
1) Does it in any manner affect the integrity of the 2 databases if the 2 databases are in the same instance and have the same logical name?
2) Would the dml or data retrieval operations in the 2 databases have any conflict in any manner what so ever?
3) Having a unique database name, and unique file names for the physical files for any database in an instance what is the purpose and significance of additionally having a logical name for a database?
4) Which I could restore a database from the backup of another database in the same instance and at the same time change the logical and physical name of the files to correspond to the new database.
" I have two sql server2000 database named db1 and db2.
i have a user named 'user1' who has permission in both database.I have used a 'Select * from tableOne'in db1 when i have this table 'tableOne'in db1.
now this table was droped and created in db2.
what i need is i should log in to db1 and access the same select statement which is there in application used by my clients.
i have created a view in db1 with the same name as
'create view tableOne as select * from db2..tableOne'
now i can access.
Is there some othere way with out creating view?
I've been running the Ola Hallengren maintenance script for the last five months without missing a beat. Today I find an error stating the UserDatabase Integrity check job failed last night. This is running on SQL Server 2014 BI edition w/64 Gigs.
I ran a DBCC CHECKDB on each database manually and all worked until I tried it on the biggest one that is about 18 gbs. It just keeps running and I eventually stopped it so I'm guessing it is memory, but doesn't make sense considering it has 64 gbs. I have it set to 64/4 max / min. Again, this was never an issue until last night.I've been looking up all morning, but not seeing much on this error "The operating system returned error 1453"?
I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise, then SP1 and then SP2, Maintenance Plan worked. But if I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise and then SP2 directly (skipping SP1), the Check Database Integrity in Maintenance Plan was not working. The error message is as follows:

Other tasks like Rebuild Index seem to be fine. SP2 is supposed to be inclusive. Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening.
