Copy Database To Web Server
Dec 12, 2006
Hi,
I'm new to SQL Server (I've worked with MS Access for several years but am now ready to step up to the next level).
I'm working with SQL Server 2000 - I have a copy of Developers Edition on my XP Pro computer at home and work mostly with shared web hosting accounts that have SQL Server 2000 available on them.
I recently received a database backup file from a client, which I was able to restore using the Query Analyzer and RESTORE. I now have to 'move/export/upload' this database to a shared web hosting account - I've created a 'blank' database on the web server (same name as restored database) and have a username and password.
This is where I'm stuck - how do I get this restored database on my local machine to a web server? Do I do this via the Query Analyzer or some other type of wizard? (I'm not even sure how to 'connect' to the web server database.)
I'm sure I'm not providing enough background, but any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Paul

Hi,
I set up DB mirror between a primary (SQL1) and a mirror (SQL2); no witness. I have a problem when I issue command:
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
The error message is:
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy of the database log.
I have the steps below prior to the command. (Note that both servers' service accounts use the same domain account. The domain account I login to do db mirror setup is a member of the local admin group.)
1. backup database DBmirrorTest on SQL1
2. backup database log
3. copy db and log backup files to SQL2
4. restore db with norecovery
5. restore log with norecovery
6. create endpoints on both SQL1 and SQL2
CREATE ENDPOINT [Mirroring]
STATE=STARTED
AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT = 5022, LISTENER_IP = ALL)
FOR DATA_MIRRORING (ROLE = PARTNER)
7. enable mirror on mirror server SQL2
:connect SQL2
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL1.mycom.com:5022';
go
8. Enable mirror on primary server SQL1
:connect SQL1
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
This is where I got the error.
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy
Thanks for any help,
KT

Hi dear devs, admins or users!I have following problem with the "SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition". I am in a small network and try to copy a database from a version 8.0 to a version 9.0 "SQL Server" (2 computers). I use the "Copy Database Wizard" and the process did 4 from 5 actions correctly, the last action with the name "Execute SQL Server Agent Job" fails allways. My "SQL Server Agent" process is started and runs well. In real I don't need the "SQL Server Agent" in any way in my database, so I don't understand why this process generates this error. I try to copy this old "Portal" "ASP.NET 1.1" database to my new "SQL Server 2005". Can someone help me?.ThanksArzu Bazman · «US DEV United Systems»

Hi:
I have a MSSQL 2005 database in current server, since we are going to shift to another server, I need to copy the database to the new server for testing.
Can you please let me know what is the best way to do that? I have tried to use detach and attach, or "back up the database and then restore on the other server.", but seems not working for me. I want step by step instruction since I am pretty new for the DB migration.
Thanks.

Hi,
This should be a relatively simple question (and answer !) :-)
I would like to copy a database from one server to another and have created a backup file of the database in question and copied it to the new server. I then restored the database, no problem.
When I try to create a standard SQL user called 'DBTest' (which was on the original server and had dbo priviledges to the database) it works but as soon as I try to permission this user to the newly restored database I get the error:
"Error 15023: User or role 'DBTest' already exists in the current database"
The user DBTest does not exist in my newly restored database but does exist in the publi role in that database. I am not allowed to delete this user from the public role (option greyed out). Help !!!
Thanks,
TimH

Hi all,
I am trying to fly by the seat of my pants here in my current job. I have been labored with the job of Database Admin and I am trying to copy a whole database from one of our main servers (SQL Server 2000) to one of the salesmen's laptops (SQL Server 2000 personal edition) to do demos of our new product. The current size of the database is about 50mb but I can't seem to copy it over without getting lots of errors. I have tried using Enterprise Manager's built-in tools for transfering database or import/export, even DTS and everything gives errors.
Could someone post an easy to follow, step-by-step guide to copying a database from one server to another?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I want to copy a database(in olap) from one server to another. I copied the .cab file and used the restore feature in Analysis Server in Analysis manager. Restore Database progress dialogue box came and it went to the step " Updating DSO" and the program hung. So, I terminated the program, and the next time, I could not connect to my server under Analysis Servers. Any help how I could do that and why this happened?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff.

Hello.
I am fairly new to SQL Server. I have a hosted sql server with unlimited licensing and database has been created on it from outsourced vendor.
I need to create a duplicate database, on same server, different directory, with a different name for development and testing.
I have been told to simply to a backup and restore with MOVE, however in my research I have come across things to be aware of and even errors. I am a newbie dba for small company and I do not want to take chances ruining their current database.
Does anyone have any directions-specific advice?
Your help will be greatly appreciated!

How can I quickly copy a database including everything (tables,constraints,views...etc) to a different server ? I used a DTS package which is in my opinion a pain. I get so tired of all those constraint restrictions, not allowing me to just drop the tables and replace it. I wish I could just drop the whole database and create a copy from production with a simple command. I know I can go through all the tables and drop the constraints, do the DTS copy and then recreate the constraints, I was just hoping for a method to bypass that part.
Any ideas ?

I created a web application (ASP.Net with a SQL DB backend) using Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition and the bundled SQL Server Express.Everything works perfectly on my local machine.Now I need to upload the application and DB to my hosting provider. My hosting provider suggested I backup the db, upload it with FTP, and they would restore it for me on the production server.However, I can find no option to "Backup" a DB in SQL Server Express or in Visual Studio. Am I missing something?Using Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition and SQL Server Express, how does Microsoft envision us copying our DB's into production?Thanks a lot,Chris

Hi dear devs, admins or users!
Two weeks ago I had a problem with transfering databases from v8 to v9, I placed the question here (original message attached), but I received not the answer which I need. I try to transfer databases with the CDW ("Copy Database Wizard"), which should run through 5 action steps. The process stops after the 'action 2', the step "Create Package" failed allways. The error message which I receive is "Library not registered". I was very surprised, because two weeks ago the process stoped after the action 4 (4/5) while the step "Execute SQL Server Agent Job". I changed nothing on my system or databases. The only thing I can remember is the "Microsoft Update" downloaded and installed a new patch, but it wasn't a SQL Server 2005 update or something with databases.
I have now two questions. What means the error "Library not registered" while the CDW process and what could be the reason for the error in 'action 5' "Execute SQL Server Agent Job" while the CDW process? **(CDW = "Copy Database Wizard")

Is it possible to copy a database from SQL Server 2000 to a server running 7.0? The servers are part of different networks so an intermediate file must be used.
Backing up the 2000 db and attempting a restore in 7 does not work -- it did not find the database info in the file.
TIA,

I'm trying to make a copy of our 2005 SQL Server production database (25 meg) so we can install it in a new office being set up in another state. I have right clicked on the database I want to copy, selected Tasks, then option Copy Database... I'm trying to put the copy on the same server, and I am doing this work signed into the Management Studio as "sa" The wizard creates 5 steps, the first 4 run ok, then the 5th step runs for 10 to 20 seconds, then quits. The message says to look in the log on the server for the reason it quit. The only log I can find is the Error Logs at the bottom of the Object Explorer window. I look into the current log, then select the SQL Server log, the current one. There is only one line in here about the copy I just tried, and it only says "Starting up database XXXXXXXX" which is the database I'm trying to create through the copy process. Within Database Mail, SQL Agent, and Windows NT log lines, I can not find any reference to the copy job that just bombed. Needless to say, I'm VERY new to all of this SQL Server admin stuff. If someone could point me in the right direction, it would really help! Thanks!

Hello all,
I need to copy a database from our production server to my local development machine.
This was easy in SQL 2000, but I'm stumped for SQL 2005. In order to use Management Studio's Database/Tasks/Copy Database feature, I must have SysAdmin rights on not only my local machine, but also on the production server machine. Because there are other important databases on that machine, they won't give me sa rights on the entire production machine.
Someone suggested a two step process:
1. I first script the database
2. Then I use Import/Export Wizard to copy the data.
For scripting, I see that in Management Studio, I can use either Database/Script As, or, I can use Database/Tasks/Generate Scripts. Which is more appropriate? They seem to be very different.
Copying a database seems like a common need. How do other members here do it?
Thanks.
Any thoughts or ideas will be appreciated.

Dear all,
I wold make 2 copy of a database in the same server, I used this method :
//////////////
BACKUP DATABASE DB1 to disk=N'C:1.bak'
GO
RESTORE DATABASE Test from disk=N'C:1.bak'
with move N'DB1_Data' to N'C:Test_Data.mdf',
move N'DB1_Log' to N'C:Test_Log.ldf',
/////////////////
Knowing that DB1 is my fisrt database and Test in my new database, the problem is that method works parfettely on my machine, but when I use it on the server , it display this message :
"Le fichier logique DB1_Data ne fait pas partie de la base de données Test'. Utiliser RESTORE FILELISTONLY ......"
(I have a french version of windows)
that gives with my translation :
"The logical file DB1_Data does not form part of the data base Test. use RESTORE FILELISTONLY ......"

Hello!
What is the best way to make a copy of an existing sql server database to another (physical) server?
Plan to make a full backup of another sql server database to another server. I've read about detach and attach
and copying the datafiles and log files but some say it is prone to data loss? Is this true?
And another thing, what if the existing sql server can't affor downtime for me to copy db files etc.?
Anybody here who have done the same?
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks!

I have database created using MSSQL. Now I need to copy the database into a new server so the database can be used in a MSDE based server. With MSSQL I can use "Attach...." to attach the database to the SQL Server. How can I achieve the same thing with MSDE?
I am a mssql beginner, any advice would be great!

All,
I am trying to create a copy of an existing database and place on a different sql server for testing purposes. Currently my method of doing this is to create a backup, then restore a database on my new sql server. But here is the problem I am running into. When I look in Enterprise manager I can see all of the stored procedures and tables and data just fine, which is how I would like it. But, when I open up Query Analyzer I am not able to run any queries because it says "invalid object name" error. I know that the object name is correct. I think that I am having a conflict between the users which were carried over from the source backup file and the users that are on my 2 new sql server. If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. I am stuck at this point. I am guessing it is probably something simple I am just unaware that I need to do.
Thanks,
LinsLo

Hi there
I'm pretty new to this SQL server thingie, and I have this question..
How do I copy a database from SQL Server 2000 to my local SQL Server Express? I have done this between 2000 before, but the manager for the express edition doesn't seem to have the copy task..
I really need to do this, since I have to work with a databse locally on my machine when developing...
I can't register my express server in the enterprise manager on the machine from which I need to copy the databse.. Seems to be a version incompability problem?
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks,
Kenny

I just upgraded to SQLServer 2005 Standard. I do development in adatabase on one server. When a solution is completely tested, I moveit to the operational database on a different server. With SQLServer2000, I could just open the .adp file and do File->Get ExternalData->Import to move the objects. That does not work with 2005.What is the recommended method for moving objects from one database toanother? Obviously, the objects that changed will not be the sameevery time.Thanks!Jer
