I want to create two databases by restoring from a
single backup file in sql server. I am using 2005-sqlexpress .Is it possible?
Thanx in advance..
Hi,
I'm trying to create a database that takes specific information from a number of databases on different servers to make some reporting that we have much easier.
I'm pretty new to SQL so I'm not sure of the best way to proceed. I read an article that suggested I use the OPENROWSET command. The problem is, the version of SQL that came with one of the programmes we use is limited and will not allow you to turn on the allow "Ad Hoc distributed Queries" so the SLQ statement will not execute.
I'm confused why it won't let me to connect through ODBC as I've created a web page that selects data from this database with no problems!
Here is the SQL statement that I've written to make sure it is the correct one (on the msdn library page it said that this was the ODBC connection):
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL','DRIVER=(SQL Server);SERVER=APPOLOACT7;UID=sa;PWD=***************',
'SELECT * FROM MDCTestAndDev.dbo.TBL_CONTACT') AS a
I've also created the ODBC connection using the tool on Administration Tools>Data Sources ODBC
Any help would be greatly appreciated (also any ways of selecting from one database and inserting it into another will be helpfull)
Thanks
Hello all.
Let me start by saying that I am more acquainted with a LAMP set up than using Windows/ASP/MSSQL.
I have recently taken over managing a friends website after he had bad experiences with his last web dev and have also had to transfer to a different host as well. The previous dev sent all the site files and database but the database was in MS Access file format [.mdb].
The new hosts required it as an MSSQL backup file [.bak] and I spent several hours of my weekend downloading and installing SQLExpress, reading up on migrations and backups before actually performing one. I uploaded it to the site, as instructed by the new hosts, who would then install it on the SQL server for me.
I received this reply back from them and need some assistance deciphering it. I tried searching for a bit yesterday but found nothing.
Anyone know what this means?
"Apologies for replying late.We have tried to restored backup file dmt.bak , but we could not restored it due to incompatibility of disk structure version,While we tried to restored it we have received following error'
"The backed-up database has on-disk structure version 611.The server support version 539 and can't restored or upgrade this database "
Please provide correct ,bak file with correct version , so we go ahead and restored it for you.".
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Hi,
I have my MSSQL database developed in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition. I am trying to create a backup file of this databse (.bak). Is SQL Server 2005 Studio Express the program that will let me do this?
Also in SQL Server, how can I attach to my database that I have made in Web Developer 2005? if I go to attach it doesn't list anything.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
I am new to SqlServer (I am using 7.0) and I have just recieved a database.bak file from one of our clients and I want to create a new D/B from this back up file ,I have already installed the MS SqlServer. Can you tell me how to do this.
Thanks,

I have a client that is using the free MSDE database engine. There is no graphical interface that I know of to manage the day-to-day tasks. I need to do a daily backup to a disk file. I want to start the backup at 7:40pm. My client then will copy that disk file to tape duing his system-wide backup at midnight. I setup a batch file and executed it in osql but the job is not working. No disk file has been created in the last 3 weeks. I don't have a clue what I am missing. Can someone please look at this and tell me how to fix it??
Thanks in Advance!

I'm building an ASP.NET application that uses SQL DMO to automate database dumps. This will be used by our DBAs to simplify the transfer of databases between server environments.
As part of the process, I need to create a backup of an online database and then restore with a different name to run cleanup scripts against it to remove unneeded audit data, etc. I've tried setting objSqlBackup.BackupSetName to accomplish this, but it appears the backup files retain the original database name internally. When attempting to restore the backup, this results in an error saying that the database already exists.
Does anyone have a code sample or link that explains how an alternate name can be specified? In SQL Server Enterprise Manager, there is a field for specifying an alternate name when creating a backup. Given that SQL DMO is supposed to offer the same functionality, there must be a way...
FYI, The full process is as follows: - Create backup of selected database - Restore database with a different name (this is where I need help) - Run cleanup scripts to clear out unnecessary audit data, etc. - Create backup of "cleaned" database - Create zip file of database backup
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Hi,
I have created a certificate and now have taken a backup of this file by the following code:
backup certificate EncrProdCode to file = 'C:BackupCertEncrBackup.cer'
with private key(file = 'C:BackupCertEncrPrivKeyBackup.pvk',
encryption by password = 'EncrPrivKeyBackuppwd')
Now i want to create a certificate IN DIFFERENT DATABASE from this file. i m using the following database:
create certificate EncrFromFile from file = 'C:BackupCertEncrBackup.cer'
with private key(file = 'C:BackupCertEncrPrivKeyBackup.pvk',
decryption by password = 'EncrPrivKeyBackuppwd')
But is showing error:
Msg 15232, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
A certificate with name 'EncrFromFile' already exists or this certificate already has been added to the database.
No certificate with this name exists. why i m getting this error. and how can use the same certificate in other database. Is there any other way to create a certificate from an existing certificate file.
Thanks
Gaurav
Forgive me if I'm asking a simple question, but I'm new to database administration
I'm trying to migrate a database from a server running Windows 2000 Server and SQL Server 2000 to a new machine running Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2005. I moved a copy of a recent database backup file to the new server, and created a new database with Restore From Backup. The tables seem to have restored fine, but my views are non-existent. Has anyone seen this problem before, or does anyone know of something I may have skipped?
Currently, I am running SQL Server 2000 with the default instance. I know SQL2K can run up to 16 instances simultaneously. I would like to add another instance but am unable to find documentation on how to add it. Books online tells me "about" multiple instances, but not how to set it up. I've obviously missed something somewhere. Can someone please direct me to a document that will help explain "how" to add another instance?
Thanks for your time and your help.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to create a Test db from a full backup of the production db. With 2012, I cannot do it the the way i had done it in previous versions (and now i understand why because of Logical names).
The Test db runs in the same instance as Prod db.
I attempted to run this but come up with errors. This is what i executed:
RESTORE DATABASE TEST FROM DISK = 'E:<path>FULL.BAK'
WITH REPLACE, RECOVERY,
MOVE 'PROD' TO 'E:<path>TEST.MDF';
The errors are all cannot execute due to PROD is in use.
Having a lot of problems with backup device creating backups with a new transaction log for each day. This is causing the backups to grow way to fast. Seems to be random with our clients. Created new device backups but getting same problem. A manual backup selecting overwrite all existing backup sets will fix it. But starts the cycle all over again.

I have a question about T-SQL scripting:
I want to create several databases with identical properties: size, name (database1, database2, database5, databaseN), path, etc, and I would want to automate the process
So, I downloaded a good T-SQL script from the Internet, which automates the process of creation of ONE database
The problem is I would like to "put" this script within a bucle sentence; I mean, within a FOR or WHILE sentence, so I could create, for example, thirty identicales DBs without prompting me for the database name (without desktop interaction, I mean)
Here you have the generical T-SQL script:
USE master
GO
CREATE DATABASE emc
ON
( NAME = 'emc',
FILENAME = D:MSSQL7DATAemc.mdf',
SIZE = 5 )
LOG ON
( NAME = 'emc',
FILENAME = 'DMSSQL7DATAemc.ldf',
SIZE = 1 )
GO
If any oy yoy have some similar script for doing this, I would highly appreciate.
Many thx.
I'm trying to use Query Analyzer to create several triggers on different files in the same sql script file. It appears to only allow me to create one trigger at a time in Query Analyzer. How do you separate multiple create trigger statements? Here what I'm trying to do:
CREATE TRIGGER PO_BOL_DELETE ON dbo.PO_BOL
FOR DELETE
AS
INSERT into PO_Back
SELECT *, host_name(), suser_name(), getdate()
FROM deleted
GO
CREATE TRIGGER RECEIPT_DELETE ON dbo.receipt
FOR DELETE
AS
INSERT into receipt_Back
SELECT *, host_name(), suser_name(), getdate()
FROM deleted
GO
Hey
I am creating a database application that is accessed through a .NET front end.
What I want to do is run a SQL script that will create my DB, create my indexes and enforce my constraints (all of which I have done) but I also want to create my stored procedures in the same script also.
When I merge all my stored procedures (about 16) into one file and run it in SQL Query Analyzer I get multiple errors but the one that is coursing me the most bother is
‘Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure procedureName, Line 134
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'procedure'.’
What does this mean and why can’t I run more than once Stored Procedure at once?
Many thanks

CREATE TABLE IssueLog (
ItemNo int NOT NULL IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY
REFERENCES IssueProgress (ItemNo)
ON UPDATE CASCADE
ON DELETE CASCADE,
REFERENCES Approvals(ItemNo)
ON UPDATE CASCADE
ON DELETE SET NULL,
Msg 142, Level 15, State 2, Line 0
Incorrect syntax for definition of the 'TABLE' constraint.
I'd like to update or delete the IssueProgress plus update and setting null to the Approvals tables at the same time whenever the ItemNo of the parent table namely IssueLog is updated or deleted.
How can I achieve this?
Is there a way to read from a table to get values that will be contained within a "where" clause of another SQL statement that can be ready one by one(meaning the same sql statement will be executed mutliple times) that will export a tab delimted file?

I'm trying to join 3 tables in an outer join since I am loosing records that need to be included if I only use an inner join. I am pulling data from an MSDE database using the microsoft query tool.
The problem is that I get the message that I can't use an outer join on a query with more than 2 tables, but that can't be right can it?
I'm a SQL code novice so any help would be greatly appreciated!
SELECT
Article.articleId
, Article.articleName
, Article.articleStatus
, Articlegroup_2.ArticlegroupId
, Articlegroup_2.g2_key
, Articlegroup_2.g2_name
, articleGroup.articleGroupId
FROM
HIP.dbo.Article Article, HIP.dbo.articleGroup articleGroup, HIP.dbo.Articlegroup_2 Articlegroup_2
WHERE
articleGroup.articleGroupId = Article.articleGroupId AND
Article.articleGroupId2 = Articlegroup_2.Articlegroup_2_Id
I'm trying to join 2 tables in an outer join, but MS Query won't let me do this because I have another 2 tables included in an inner join ("only two tables are allowed in an outer join"). I am pulling data from an MSDE database using the microsoft query tool.
I'm a SQL code novice so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here is my existing SQL query (without the new outer join table):
SELECT
Lead_.Country, Lead_.Company_Name, Employee.Full_Name, Lead_.Rn_Create_Date, Lead_.Marketing_Project_Name, Employee_1.Full_Name, Lead_.Comments
FROM
ProductionED.dbo.Employee Employee, ProductionED.dbo.Employee Employee_1, ProductionED.dbo.Lead_ Lead_
WHERE
Employee.Employee_Id = Lead_.Account_Manager_Id AND Employee_1.Employee_Id = Lead_.Created_By_Employee_Id AND ((Lead_.Market_Segment='new'))
My application uses 2 databases from 2 different server. When i create a report model in business intellegence development studio I can only create 1 datasource for each database, and 1 datasource view for each datasource. Then when I create a new report, I can only use one datasource.
Is it possible that my report can be built on more than one databases?
thanks in advance
Hi, I have looked and loked for the answer to this question and made no progress. I want to install MSDE on one of our servers, however, when I went to install it, I found that there was another MSDE already installed and running (it was an agent running with our backup software Veritas). Is it alright to create another database and have 2 running simultaneous on the same data engine? Is there any type of limitations that I sould know about - such as number of allowed accesses at one time? Any help is greatly appreicated.
