Any idea to copy a standby/readonly database. We a have a standby/readonly DB from logshipping for hot standby and we would like to make a copy of this standby/readonly DB into a read/write DB in the same server for daily testing. Thanks in advance!
I'm trying to do Sharepoint DR with Log Shipping and every thing configured except one thing which is switch the WSS_Content (Standby /Read-Only) DB to be ready and Write.
I tried from
GUI or ALTER DATABASE [WSS_Content] SET READ_WRITE WITH NO_WAIT
I am trying to implement a log shipping scenario in sql 2005 where the secondary server is in standby mode with the ability to roll change during failover.
With the help of BOL (ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/udb9/html/2d7cc40a-47e8-4419-9b2b-7c69f700e806.htm) I can implement my scenario in Recovery mode, but not in standby mode. I use the following sql to put my primary in standby
BACKUP LOG [database] TO DISK = @filename WITH STANDBY = 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupROLLBACK_UNDO_database.BAK' GO
which works, but then my restore job fails on the last step. How can I put my primary db in standby mode in such a way that the log shipping restore will work?
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
How can I get a SQL Server 2005 database out of Standby/Read-only mode? I just restored this DB sent from a customer and it is in Standby/Read-only mode. I need to add a user so that I can authenticate from my app for testing purpose.
I have two database files, one .mdf and one .ndf. The creator of these files has marked them readonly. I want to "attach" these files to a new database, but cannot do so because they are read-only. I get this message:
Server: Msg 3415, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Database 'TestSprintLD2' is read-only or has read-only files and must be made writable before it can be upgraded.
What command(s) are needed to make these files read_write?
We log ship our production database tansaction logs to a secondary database on a separate remote domain.
Incidentally, this was not set up via the "Ship Transaction Logs" wizard, but instead we had to use the various system stored procedures after restoring a copy of the database on the remote domain in standby mode.
We now have an issue where users are unable to access the remote secondary database without having sysadmin privileges. Clearly we want to avoid this!
We want to be able to use Windows Authentication mode on the server of the secondary database. But since the two domains differ, is it possible to even achieve this?
How can we set up read-only access for users on the secondary database without giving them sysadmin privileges?
I've been reading a million and one posts on replication
My scenario is that i have a live SQL 2000 server. In a DR invokation, i'e i've lost my live sever, i want to be able to access the same data at the DR (SQL 2000) site and have it accessable to the users. DR server has a different name to the live box.
Replicate
Master CRMDatabase
Data changes all the time but can have hourly replication of transaction logs for this example. I've currently researched a sp called update logons but this has to be fed each account name to enable them on the new server. There must be a way to activate all CRMDatabase logons with the new server?
Could someone be kind enough to lead me through a step by step guide on the best solution.
I have a query that runs for 10 sec on one database( A) and 5 min on another database(B) even though two database have identical scheam, tables, index and statistics..
I ran a profiler and got the below information CPU READ Write Database A: 92051 711956 8774 Database B: 91812 7621589 315822
A query runs on database has a significant larger read and write.. I don;t understand why this is happening? even though these two database have the same structure?? it has the same execution plan as well..
Hi, we're trying to read from a table and write back to the same table and are having a lot of trouble with blocking. What could we do to prevent our application from hanging due to blocking of this type?
Hi .. I want to Write in files or read from files for example i have My_File.txt . i need a syntax and i want to call this syntax in my Store procedure and this syntax write forexample " Hello Word " in My_File.txt . and i want another syntax that read from My_File.txt forexample "Word" from My_File.txt . what are those syntaxes do that ??
We currently run sql 2005 server and also sql express in our dev environments. We use sql express as an offline store (smart client). We have a similar/exact schema on the sql 2005 server and also the express.
We use the auto attach feature to connect to the express version of the database. Both the developer machines and the one that is running the sql 2005 server have exactly the same hardware configuration. The only difference may be that the server box is not running the VS.Net environment. The disk space etc is pretty much the same. Actually we run another database server(DB2) on the 2005 server machine.
We have observed that sql express is much slower and queries execute much slower aswell. For example, this may not be a totally scientific way of checking but a long running query on the server took only 2 minutes while on express it took longer than 9 minutes. The schema and data etc are the same.
Is there something we need to look into as far as read write speed/performance goes ?
I am using a Script Component and I have a Read/Write Variable varStatusCase (as assigned in the Custom Properties of my Script Component). I used this inside my script to get a specific value. However, when I ran it I get this error:
The collection of variables locked for read and write access is not available outside of PostExecute.
Okay, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. Using SQL Server Express, VWD and .net 2.0 I've figured out how to drop a Table Column Constraint or Default Value/Binding and then Create it again using a stored procedure. What I can't figure out is how to retrieve that column's constraint value and write it to, say a label, in an aspx page, simply for reference. Is it possible? In this case the Data Type of the column is money. I'm using it to perform a calculation to a column with a value that the user inserts into another column. (Column1(user input) minus Column2(with Default Value) = Column3(Difference). I just want to read Column2's Default Value for reference so I know whether to change it or not.
Hi, I was reading that many of these high traffic websites actually have 2 databases, 1 database is used ONLY for reads, while the other is for writes.
How does one go about creating such a setup? How does the database where writes are allowed replicated the data to the read only database server?
Hi,I would like to use database locking mechanism to control access to anexternal resource (like file system).What I need is1. an exclusive (write) lock conflicting with any access to theresource (both for read and write)2. non-exlusive (read) lock conflicting with writes onlyHow this could be done?I'd appreciate any reply.Vadim
Hello Guys, in SSIS I want to get a set of data and do some modifications on it before I insert it into the destinatipn. So far so good. Some of the modifications will include comparisions between two columns and if certain field is NULL then I want to get the value from the other one I was comparing to. When using conditional splits, I only get the rows to be redirected so that I can do whatever next. However, I want like use the variables as a storage so that I can put the value of one of the two columns in this variable which will be actually loaded into the destination finally. Any help? Thanks

I use excel as an interface to write query to retrieve data from a database in network drive. My problem is everyone can open and edit my query. Of course, the univeral database access user name and password will ask but everyone know this. How can I put password to prevent any query modification?
Is there a way to get the last read/write time of a table?
I want to have a few tables, but only allow them to exist if they have been used in the last 30 days. I want to set up a "purge" job to clear out any tables that have not been used in 30 days.
Hello,I'm relatively new to the database world so please forgive me inadvance for my ignorance. I have recently been tasked at my job withfinding a tool that will perform the following tasks: 1) extractschemas from a db, 2) produce a difference report between schemas fromtwo databases, and 3) synchronize two schemas. The purpose is forproduct upgrades during which an existing database schema will need tobe synchronized with a baseline schema.The tool must support the following database vendors (versions givenin parenthesis): Oracle (8i/9i), Sybase (12.x), Informix (9.x), MSS2000, and IBM DB2 (7/8).I have spent the last several days downloading and researching avariety of tools such as Aqua Data Studio, DbVisualizer, DBExplorer,DBDiff, and AdeptSQL. I thought it would be a good idea to post amessage to a few database newsgroups and ask for any recommendationsdatabase developers may have.So if anyone has any recommendations on such a tool or softwarepackage, I would greatly appreciate any information.Thanks!Chad Smith
I was wondering if it is possible to read image data from a database in .net compact framework. Since cf does not have image.fromstream(memstream) to work with, I don't know how else to read the image from the database and then place it into a picturebox.
Here is the code I have been trying out:
Dim Img As Image ' Dim conn As New SqlCeConnection("Data Source = My Documents est2.sdf")
conn.Open()
Dim sql As String = "SELECT * FROM Dater" Dim cmd As New SqlCeCommand(sql, conn) Dim reader As SqlCeDataReader = _ cmd.ExecuteReader(System.Data.CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
While reader.Read()
TextBox1.Text = reader.Item("name") Dim b(reader.GetBytes(1, 0, Nothing, 0, Integer.MaxValue) - 1) As Byte
reader.GetBytes(1, 0, b, 0, b.Length) Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream(b) Dim bmp As New Bitmap(ms) <-Error: Value does not fall within expected range Img = bmp
End While
PictureBox2.Image = Img
I get an error ,Value does not fall within expected range.
Does this mean the image was not save correctly in the database?
Hi,I have a web app, that runs fine, except for one particular section that uses a class called by an event in the code behind. The class resides as a dll in the bin folder. We had no problems during testing, when only one user was running this dll. Problems soon occurred when multiple users tried running it. Here's the error & stack: 06/02/2007 09:25:26 ==> cburns ==> There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnectionTds.ValidateConnectionForExecute(SqlCommand command) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.ValidateConnectionForExecute(String method, SqlCommand command) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ValidateCommand(String method, Boolean async) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteReader(CommandBehavior cmdBehavior, RunBehavior runBehavior, Boolean returnStream, String method, DbAsyncResult result) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteReader(CommandBehavior cmdBehavior, RunBehavior runBehavior, Boolean returnStream, String method) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior behavior, String method) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteReader() at ESP.Validator.Data.DatabaseEvents.DatabaseEventManager.Read(IEventable eventObject, Int16 eventType, DateTime earliestDate, DateTime latestDate) in C:My PathValidatorValidator.NETDataDatabaseEventsDatabaseEventManager.cs:line 92 at ESP.Validator.Data.Translink.CATCard.GetDespatchDate() in C:My PathProjectsValidatorValidator.NETDataTranslinkCATCard.cs:line 94 at ESP.Validator.Data.Translink.ExistingSchemeEntitlement.ReadCards() in C:My PathProjectsValidatorValidator.NETDataTranslinkExistingSchemeEntitlement.cs:line 215 at ESP.Validator.Data.Translink.ExistingSchemeEntitlement.Read() in C:My PathProjectsValidatorValidator.NETDataTranslinkExistingSchemeEntitlement.cs:line 147 at ESP.Validator.Data.Translink.TranslinkApplicant.ReadEntitlements() in C:My PathProjectsValidatorValidator.NETDataTranslinkTranslinkApplicant.cs:line 369 at ESP.Validator.Data.Translink.TranslinkApplicant.Read() in C:My PathProjectsValidatorValidator.NETDataTranslinkTranslinkApplicant.cs:line 353 at ESP.Validator.Data.Translink.PrePrintedLetter.Read() in C:My PathProjectsValidatorValidator.NETDataTranslinkPrePrintedLetter.cs:line 282 at ESP.Validator.ValidationProcessor.Read(ValidationSubject subject) in C:My PathProjectsValidatorValidator.NETValidationProcessor.cs:line 82 at clear_applications_scan_applications.ProcessValidation() It seems the data reader is getting reused. We have ensured after each read the reader is closed. Though all users are using the same connection string. Could it be a connection pool problem, with the connection being overwritten during execution? Should i edit it according to the users logon?I am really at a loss for ideas, and I don't mind admitting I am a bit out of my depth with this one!! Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
