How can I copy a database from one server to another when they are not on the same network! I have tried to copy across the backup file from one and attempted a restore but i keep getting an error message (Abnormal execution).
Is there a way to do this! HELP!
Sages,
I have been trying to do this using both DTS and BACKUP/RESTORE. With the former my logins and users get transferred but no one can login. It's as if they are not linked to each other.
With the latter there are no logins to link to the db users. In Sybase we used to bcp the master..syslogins table. Does this work with MSSQL 7.0? Any other suggestions? TIA.
My production server has 8 databases connected to SAN where all the data resides.
This also has the system databases. There are two internal drives where I store the log files
We will be buying additional internal drives for the server and want to move all data to these drives
and free up SAN for other use.
Do I need to start building this server from scratch or is there an easy way to do this.
I can use sp_attach_db and sp_detach_db too but I prefer backup and restore
Is this the best option:
backup all the databases
uninstall sql server (since system databases are on SAN)
Reinstall sql server
Restore eveything on these new drives
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated
If I have to copy data from one database to a temporary database on the same server, which transaction log will be written to as a result? Will it be the DB that the command is run from, the source DB, or possibly tempdb's log?
Thanks

Hi All,
I wish to copy between 2 tables in different databases.
( The source and destiantion tables already exist)
The source table has duplicate entries which i want to avoid from being copied to destination table.
How can i achieve this?
Thanks in advance..!!

I have a T-SQL script which deataches and attaches the database. Now here is what I want to do:
I
want to create a SQL Server Job and schedule it to run at a particular
time of the month to Detach all the databases on my local machine and
*Copy all the deatched databases over a network machine* and then
Attach those Database.
All this should be done in T-SQL. I
already have the T-SQLs for Attaching and Detaching. All I need is to
know the T-SQL (example) which will copy the *Detached Databases* from
mu local computer to my Network Computer. How do I achieve that?
Thanks
hi from France !!!

should i use sp_attach_db, dts, backup/restore, sql scripts... ???
thanks to all, nico
This question is about SQL Server 2005:
I have been trying to figure out how to copy tables and stored procedures between 2 databases (on the same server) using SQL Server Management Studio. I have tried right clicking on the table name, "script table as", "drop to", "clipboard", then I click on the 2nd database, and then click on the "tables" . I change the name of the database and click "execute". This creates the table but does not copy the data. I have also tried "create to" "clipboard" and "insert to" "clipboard" and cannot seem to be able to figure out how to get the results that I want. I am new at this but need to get the tables with the data copied along with the stored procedures, even if I have to do them one at a time. When I was using SQL Server 2000, I was able to use DTS to copy objects to other databases easily. Can someone please tell me a way to accomplish what I need to do? I have gotten information here before that was very useful and was hoping that someone can help me again.Thank you so much. Carol Quinn
I am wondering the best way to go about a task I have been assigned. We have two similar websites but each is located on a different network. One network is secure so it cannot be accessed on the normal WWW. The secure network will contain the master database. I need to write a program or do something with SQL server to retrieve all records from the WWW site and get them onto the secure database. I also in the future will need to update records from the WWW site if they have been updated. What is the easiest way to move data from one network to the other when I cannot connect to both databases simultaneously?
Thanks,
Matt
Does anyone know if SQL7 will work with Storage Area Networks(SAN's)? I've read that SQL2000 implements something called a Virtual Interface System Area Network (VI SAN) that allows communication with devices connected via a SAN.
My site is installing a SAN and I need to know if SQL7 can utilize those resources (Storage,etc) and how reliable if so.

How to establish connection string for sql server on non-domain network?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI created a test table (name - "Nset") with the columns:
id (int), n1 (float), n2 (float), n3 (float) and c1 (varchar).
Then filled a table the followings information:
id n1 n2 n3 c1
1 0,1 0,1 0,6 one
2 0,2 0,1 0,5 one
3 0,7 0,5 0,1 two
4 0,4 0,9 0,3 two
5 0,5 0,1 0,5 three
And created a neural network with tuning by default. "id"-field is the key. n1, n2 and n3 are inputs. c1 - predict.
Then i tryed predict query, like:
SELECT
PREDICT([Nset].[c1])
FROM
[Nset]
NATURAL PREDICTION JOIN
(SELECT 0,5 AS [n1], 0,1 AS [n2], 0,5 AS [n3]) AS t
The result is "three". This is correct. And some other tests appeared correct.
But, when I filled the column c1 with numerical values (one = 1, two=2, three=3) and changed type to int, a predict query left off to work correctly.
Previous query return 4.
And other tests showed that a value returned large on unit.
Is this correct?
Thanks.
1) Scaling of Inputs
Is the standarization of the inputs done automatically when running the Microsoft Neural Network algorithm or I should be transforming the variables before running the algorithm?
2) Predicted Probabilities
How do I create a table with the actual predicted probabilities of the model for each observation? In the Mining Model Prediction tab the output would be either 0 or 1, my question is how can I obtain the actual value of the estimated probability?
I am getting negative predictions (continuous) from a neural network model that has been trained on data that only contains positive values or zeros (no nulls).
Is there a setting that can limit the lower end of the output range to zero?
I am trying to get familiar with Microsoft neural networks to predict property prices. The results are better but I wanted to amend the default parameters passed to the neural network.
So on MINING MODEL TAB when I right click and go into SET ALGORITHM PARAMETERS, I can't see any parameters there, if I try to enter a parameter for example MAXIMUM_STATES and process the model I get the following error message
"The 'maximum_states' data mining parameter is not valid for the 'My Model' model"
I also added a decision tree model to the same structure and when go into SET ALGORITHM PARAMETERS pop menu it comes with many pre populated parameters with default values.
My question is that why I am unable to add parameters to the NEURAL NETWORK and why it does not come with pre populated parameters like DECISION TREES.
Your help will be much appreciated.
I have some accounting data, with some transaction attributes and amounts.
I'm using Decision Trees to try and predict the next month's amount for certain combinations of attributes.
I've tried two different structures for the model:
A: one with 9 discrete text input attributes.
B: And another with the same 9 attributes + a avarage Amount for all combinations of the nine attribute for every transaction.
When i've processed them and look in the dependency network, it says that the strongest link for the structure A is attribute "1".
And for the second its the avarage-Amount attribute.
Okey, that seems fine, but the second strongest link in structure B is attribute "2".
Shouldn't it be attribute 1 like in structure A?
Second question, if I run the same data in a Neural Network model, the prediction becomes much worst then the decision tree.
I get many predictions that are negative values even though all training data contains positiv values.
The StDev becomes the same for every row also..
What am I doing wrong with that one. I have alot of transactions and a read somewhere that a Neural Network should work better than a decision tree in a case similar to mine.
The score in the "Lift chart" for the Neural Network model becomes 0,00 and for Decision Trees with the same data I get around 110.
Hello,
In SQL Servern Books is written:
SQL Server Authentication is provided for backward compatibility only. When possible, use Windows Authentication.
How can Windows Authentication be realized in small networks from two ore more computers running Windows XP?
Having all a application written in VB Net 2005 for example, which connects to a central database on one computer. Where the cost and afford for a domain controller running Windows Server is not necessary.
If Windows Authentication can't be realized or can't be realized easy in such a scenario, and SQL Server Authentication is not supported any more, then SQL Server can't be taken as database server for this scenario, where the focus is at simplicity and low cost.

Hello there,
I'm currently building up a SQL 2005 Active/Standby cluster in a DMZ. I have three NIC's in each server.
Each NIC is connected to a different network:
192.168.100.1 is the public NIC
10.0.0.1 is the NIC used for communication betwen the cluster nodes (heartbeat)
192.168.200.1 is the admin NIC
I have installed my cluster using the 192.168.100.0 network for public access. This means that my SQL virtual ip is 192.168.100.10
Each server can be administered over the 192.168.200.0 network (admin) and the cluster/sql sever ip is available from the 192.168.100.0 (public) network.
Now for my question: How can I assign a ip address from my admin network (e.g.192.168.200.10) to the existing SQL server cluster to make it available from my admin network while keeping the public ip.
Thanx in advance!

I am having trouble setting up my Pull Subscription and I am new to replication.
I have several servers hosting a databased website that will be the same, except for user input and traffic. Quite simply, I need to copy most tables, SPs and data from network to network. I can't use FTP/Web synch ... as I mentioned the networks do not touch eachother or the internet.
On server Web1, it was easy to create a Publication called Pub via the wizard for my database: TheDB. Then on Web1, again, I added a Subscription to the Publication, indicating my second server, Web2, and the same database name: TheDB (I have already backed up and restored TheDB to all my servers). Here's one of the sp's I ran on Web1:
use [TheDB]
exec sp_addsubscription @publication = N'Pub', @subscriber = N'Web2'', @destination_db = N'TheDB', @sync_type = N'Automatic', @subscription_type = N'pull', @update_mode = N'read only'
GO
This is where I feel stuck. Using the wizard on Web2 doesn't allow me to see Web1. So I tried the following on Web2:
use [TheDB]
exec sp_addpullsubscription @publisher = N'Web1', @publication = N'Pub', @publisher_db = N'TheDB', @independent_agent = N'True', @subscription_type = N'pull', @description = N'', @update_mode = N'read only', @immediate_sync = 1
exec sp_addpullsubscription_agent @publisher = N'Web1', @publisher_db = N'TheDB', @publication = N'Pub', @distributor = N'Web1', @distributor_security_mode = 1, @distributor_login = N'', @distributor_password = null, @enabled_for_syncmgr = N'False', @frequency_type = 1, @frequency_interval = 0, @frequency_relative_interval = 0, @frequency_recurrence_factor = 0, @frequency_subday = 0, @frequency_subday_interval = 0, @active_start_time_of_day = 0, @active_end_time_of_day = 0, @active_start_date = 0, @active_end_date = 19950101, @alt_snapshot_folder = N'', @working_directory = N'', @use_ftp = N'True', @job_login = null, @job_password = null, @publication_type = 0
GO
I copied the snapshot folder, ie. 20070709134423, onto CD and moved it into Web2's default replication folder, but I always receive: cannot connect to Distibutor. I've tried using an Alias, as well, but don't understand exactly how I should point that either. I checked the publication's PAL and my Web2 user has rights and is an owner of the Web2 TheDB database.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi all,
I have a production website at Godaddy and an ASP.net 2.0 page that successfull connects to a SQL 2005 instance provided by Godaddy using SQL authentication(User ID/Password). The Godaddy database has become too small (200MB limit) and the plan is to use the SQL Server 2005 standard edition at my office. In other words, I want to host my own SQL server and keep the front-end at Godaddy.
The ASP.net test page at Godaddy generates the basic connection errors when attempting to connect to my SQL server at the office. This error has several variations depending on how the connection string is configured:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.)
In this case the connection string is:
Data Source=xxx.xxx.xx.xxx,1433; Network Library=DBMSSOCN; Initial Catalog=Test; User ID=xxx; Password=xxx"
I've embedded this connection string directly into the ASP.net test page in order to make this page independent of the web.config file.
My MS SQL server is on a Small Bussiness Server 2003 with Sharepoint and Remote Workplace running, and this machine is behind a linksys router, and Routing and Remote Access is running in place of windows firewall.
I've openned ports TCP 1433 and UDP 1434 on the router and Routing and Remote Access. Telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx 1433 connects successfull, and the SQL log shows listening on 1433. I don't know if telnet is telling me that there is successful connection to the port on the router, or if it makes it all the way to the SQL server.
The SQL server is running the default instance MSSQLSERVER. Locally, I am able to connect using SQL 2005 Studio, and I am able to confirm this activity in the SQL log. Since I've openned port 1433, I also see numerous dictionary attacks in the SQL Log. Based on this, remote connectivity is there.
The strange observation is that the SQL log shows no sign of a connection attempt from the ASP.net page. The connection appears to be failing before it reaches the SQL server. I've openned ports in the Linksys router and the NAT/Firewall the same way I've openned them for Sharepoint and Remote Workplace.
I also found that when I move the ASP.net test page to another ISP, then the SQL connection that worked from the Godaddy website, is no longer able to connect. An explanation of this would also be very helpful to me.
Is there something that needs to be configured to expose the SQL server to ASP.net pages that is different from remote access?
Does IIS need to somehow be involved?
Is there something in Small Business Server 2003 that could be interferring with ASP.net page requests to the SQL server?
Do I need to run my machine as a web server to make this work?
Any help with this configuration would be greatly appreciated.
Dear Readers,Is it possible, like in Access, to link to tables in other SQL databases that are on the same server? I have a query that I originally had in Access that queered from multiply databases. It did this by having those other tables in the other databases linked to the database that had the query.
I just restored my SQL server 2000 database on the SQL server 2005. after this i ran the Service broker sample ("Hello World") on this database by changing the AdventureWorks name to the new database name. The "setup.sql" runs fine. When i run the "SendMessage.sql" i was not getting any rows in the output (The message was not getting inserted into the queue). I checked the Service broker is enabled on this databased using the query "select is_broker_enabled from sys.databases where name = 'newdbname' " It was 1. I even tried the ALTER DATABASE SET ENABLE_BROKER. but it didnt work.
When i tried the sample on a newly created database it worked fine.
Is there any solution to make the restored database to work for service broker.
Thanks

Hi, I have been having fun and games for well over a week now trying to get an xml file copied into an sql file, but still have no joy. I and using the bulk copy to do this and think I am close to solving it but just need a final push in the write direction.
In green below is the full source code, I think that the trouble is with the try statement part here:
Try
bulk.WriteToServer(xd)
This comes up with the error :
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Xml.XmlDocument' to type 'System.Data.IDataReader'
Basically how do I get the XML data into a reader (or IDataReader) format so that the writetoserver command can interpret it
I would be so greatful if someone could help resolve this it is becoming increasingly more frustrating

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm trying to insert one value (an order) into the table Order and (via a for-loop) all the products in that order in the table Product, hence, one order can have multiple products (and must have at least one). I have an automatically increased value for the OrderID as the primary key for Order, and I have a foreign key named OrderID in the Product table. So far, I _think_ everything's logically correct.
However, I don't understand how to retrieve the OrderID to be able to insert it in the Product table upon insertion. I guess this is done all the time, but the only solution I can think of is to make a new SQL Command, asking for the just created OrderID to use it in the SQL Command for the products' for-loop. I'm sure that's a bad idea. :-)
Can I use relationships or so to make this automatically updated (that is, to have the Product table "check for" the OrderID and insert the OrderID upon insertion of the Product row(s))?
I hope this is clear to you. Thanks in advance for all help!

Hello List,
Folks, I need a help here. We are running our production database on SQL Server 7.0. We are in a process of switching the production database server to another server hardware. I was wondering, How can we copy the Logins/Passwords from my old server to the new one. Well this is very important to have all the old logins and passwords on the new server to have anybody login to it. I know, Doing Export will copy the logins. But would it allow the same old password to be on the new server?
Please help me here.
