HI!I have a little problem:I have change the administrator password (Windows 2003 Server) which MSSQL 2000 use to login.And now the SQL server can't stand up.What should I do?thx!gicio--Posted via http://dbforums.com
We are planning to provide a disaster recovery facility for a production system. Clustering has been ruled out for technical reasons so we are considering either transactional replication or Log shipping.
Microsoft suggested the log shipping option but it seems a bit messy to me and only provides a warm standby in that it only copies log backups to the secondary machine.
Any ideas why log shipping was suggested in preference to transactional replication? Anyone have any experience in this area?
i have two servers Production and Waiting, the waiting is a Fall back server and is in another state but in the same domain, is it possible to to use dump statement to dump database and transaction logs to the waiting server??
I have inherited a problem that I am hoping someone can help out with. A developer used a perl script to move some backup files from one server to another and then restore the databases on other server (at least we think that is what happened, no one is really sure at this point)
Now I need to take the databases ourt of read only mode and drop them but I get an error 5063 stating that the database is in warm standby and the alter database and sp_dboption statements both fail.
How do I get the databases out of warm standby mode?
Thanks in advance for any help you all can provide.
i've disided to use a standby server, i have succeeded in running a schedulled task to dump the transcation log every hour the production server unto the waiting server, my problem is that i cannot run a schedulled task to restore the database on the waiting sever every hour any ideas what i might be doing wrong??
I am currently testing the transmission rates of sql server 70 backups over an ATM circuit (T3) from tampa, fl to detroit. We are evaluating what we need to do to relocate our warm backup database servers to our Disaster Recovery site in detroit. I have tried several types of transmissions and are not receiving any transfer rates that will reasonably work with a recovery plan. I have tried copying a file from source to target, I have tried backing up from source to target, I have tried FTP'ing files, and never can achieve higher transmission rate then 1 gig per hour.
I am looking to talk to anyone out there that may have implemented a long distance sql servber DR site or anyone who is thinking about it. Or anyone who has any input on how I might be able to achieve a higher transmission rate over a T3. Or anyone who is using SAN's in both their local and DR site and might be using special synchronizing software. I am currently piloting a Metastore SAN and a Compaq SAN to solve some local disk management problems and eventually transmit data from SAN to SAN for DR.
Please, if you are involved with any of these strategies and would like someone to share your knowledge with or if I can be of help to you by sharing our testing knowledge, please write asap.

I am making disaster recovery plan and considering technical details. My question is that if I configure log shipping and primary server is failed. I have to bring up secondery server online. As warm standby server, the secondary server is Read-only. How to disable read-only?
Hi, I have one database with read-only status. I tried to change it back to normal by doing this.. EXEC sp_dboption 'test', 'read only', 'FALSE' by doing this i'm getting this Changes to the state or options of database 'test' cannot be made at this time. The database is in single-user mode, and a user is currently connected to it. And when i tried on Enterprise Manager it is saying Error 5063 database 'test' is in warm Standby. I cross checked and confirmed that it is not in single-user mode and no one is connected to the database!! Any help is greately appreciated. thanks ss
Because the IIS threads are recycled at night, the first user that calls up Report Manager in the morning has to wait 30 seconds before the page loads, as IIS is creating a thread.
I'd like to set up a job in SQL Agent that will navigate to http://localhost/reports/ every morning before users come in to work, so they won't have to wait.
I think a SAL Agent job of type ActiveX Script would be suitable for this, so I need to write the code to navigate to the reports page in VBScript.
Anyone knows how to navigate to a page in VBScript ?
I have one cluster (two machines) of sql server 2005 active/passive called "ClustA" with one Ent. server edition license and another separate server called "STDA" as warm standby server for "ClustA".
I need to be able to run a DTS package from a computer that doesn't have any SQL tools on it. What do I need to copy over to that machine to do so? dtsrun.exe, dll's, etc. Thanks
What Does the "SQL" Stand for? I am just starting to teach myself Visual Studio Programing and some other applications. I can build any computer system that is out there and I have; So I think it is now time for me to study modern programing.
I started waching the Visual LESSONS, provided by Microsoft and I must say "Programing has come a long way since Micosoft (BASICA) and (DOS)"..... I am very enthusiastic about the new wave Software laguages....
Computing has been my hobby as well as a outstanding educational tool, I feel that what makes it so great is that you can spend all you life working or playing with them and NEVER reach and end.... So as a retired Machine and ToolMaker I will lean a new field at my own pace.... And Who Knows????????????

Does anyone know what aspnet_regsql.exe requires to run stand-alone? I have to apply the .NET 2.0 Management/Role API to a sql2000 database on a machine that does not have the .net 2.0 framework installed.
Here is the scenario: We have an existing production non clustered SQL 2000 server instance that we need to migrate to a new clustered SQL 2000 server instance. We need to accomplish this without affecting the FQDN that applications use to call this server. I found this article on a solution to rename the server after an xcopy of the entire db structure. Here is the link http://vyaskn.tripod.com/moving_sql_server.htm. The other issue that we are trying to resolve is the time it takes for the snapshots of replication to run (in our case almost a full day). That is why this approach looked like it may be a good solution for us.
Here is the question: Is it possible to move our existing database to a new clustered environment without having to change the FQDN that other applications use to access this database and without having to reinitialize replication?
I have a sql server db that works fine when I connect via the internet and from the network, but when I try to connect after disconnecting from the network it doesn't find the database (even though the sql server db is on the machine I am using after disconnecting, of course).
Is there something wrong with my connection string? Could it be the Windows/SQL Server/Mixed Authentication mode?
Maybe the best question I could ask is, if I want to run sql server as a web back-end, as a network utility, and as a local db for a windows app, how should I have it set up from a security/authentication standpoint?
My management ask me use logshipping in the part of Disaster Recovery plan,as per i know i have put target database in STAND BY mode in logshipping if ACTIVE MODE fail's how can i bring back the logshipped DB to active
Our production server is currently running SQL 2005 on a stand alone machine. SQL Server is installed as a default instance.
Can we upgrade to a cluster without having to change the instance name i.e currently applications connect to this server with hostname of the server i.e SERVERA, can we install a cluster such that sql server can still be called SERVERA.
I'm currently working on an application that needs to store address information. I figured a database of some sort would be the perfect thing to use.
The thing is: The application will work locally, there will be no server running on a network
There shouldn't be any login and password protection for the db When I later on install the application on a computer, a fresh and clean db should be created within the applications folde
How can I create and access a db like that using c# and MS SQL Server?
Any hints, tips, example code, links...anything?
Many thanks in advance!!!
PS. I've been working some with visual c# express and recently installed SQL Server & Manager. I've previusly made some php web pages using MySQL but I´m a total noob when it comes to working with SQL and c# (= I'm stuck!).
Can SQL Server 7.0 be installed on a laptop as a stand-alone run-time application (using a VB front-end application)? Is it necessary to use MS Access as a gateway, or can SQL Server 7.0 really stand on its own?
Hello everybody . I have 40 GB db running mostly transaction processing. I set up 1. back full backup 2 times a day (takes 30 -40 min) 2. log backup every 15 min 3. custom log shipping 4. We don't won't use Cluster.
Once in while becouse of nethwork, or other problem log shipping fails, so I have to restart log shipping all over starting from restore in stand by mode last full back of my db.IT takes 2-3 hrs just to do this restore !!!
1. So I am asking advice is any way I do restore in less time ? 2. Should diffrential backup be taken ? 3. We will not use Custer
Does MSDTC auto-install with the plain vanilla version of SQL Enterprise? Or do I have to install it later?Do you know of any links that reference specifically SQL 2012 stand-alone server installs of MSDTC?
Hi,I'm looking for stand alone installation for SQL server Client tools,or the files required for creating such an installation. I would liketo include this installation as part of the setup for my ownSQL-dependant app. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I am moving all of our SSIS packages from a stand alone server to a clustered environment. The old server ran Enterprise Edition, the new server runs Enterprise Edition 64 bit.
One package on the new server is giving me the error messaage DTS_PRODUCTLEVELTOLOW when run from a job. The package is stored in MSDB
I went back to the server and ran the following with the following results.
- Connected to SSIS from Management Studio on my desktop and ran the package and got the same error message.
- Did the same as above but was connected to the server through Remote Desktop and it ran fine
- Ran the job, which just runs the package and it ran fine
