DB Design :: Convert A Bak File
Aug 27, 2015Is there a redgate tool or any third party tool that would convert a .bak file to its appropriate .mdf and .ldf file? or create an .mdf and .ldf file from the .bak file?

Hi,
I am working on my database design for a webapplication.
Every table is setup with an id. I have used an identity int.
Now I was looking at uniqueidentifier, newid() and was wondering if this was a better solution.
I have created several relations between my tables etc
Is it possible to convert these identity int's to uniqueidentifiers and use newid() to declare the id ?

Hi, all experts,
Is there a way in SSIS dev environment that will let you convert/cast data type at desing time?
Under data flow mappings, there are so many things you can do, but why I did not find any easy way to convert?
I got this validation warning about not supportng converting type DT_STR to DT_I4, or something like that on many occassions..
I am using OLEDB Source as source and SQL Server Destination as destination.
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks!

View 6 Replies View RelatedWorking on a new database where the Date and Time are stored in a Date Time Field.
Then working on an OLDER database file within the same SQL Database contains these 2 items as integers:
transDate = "71615" (July 16, 2015)
transTime = "12345" (01:23:45 AM)
How do we convert both of them into a single SQL DateTime field such as "2015-07-16 01:23:45.000" so that it can be used in a join restricting to a date time in a different SQL File that properly has the DateTime in it?
This works well for converting the transDate Part in the select statement:
  dbo.IntegerToDate(at.transDate) as transDate
  * That returns: "2015-07-16 00:00:00.000"
* The resulting data must work directly in a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Query using either using the "on" statement or part of the "where" clause. In other words, NOT as a stored procedure!
Also must be able to be used as a date difference calculation when comparing the 2 files Within say + or - 5 seconds.

I am preparing to design an application that will archive files created by another application. In my SQL database I want to store details about the file and then the file its self. Each file is about 500kb in size and there will be about 20,000 files generated per year.
My preference is to store these files in a blob field. It makes storage, linking to file meta data, backup etc easy for me. I have already solved the technical issues surrounding pulling the file in and out of a blob field.
By my calculations I will need a server with 10GB of disk space for each year of files archived which doesn't seem outlandish for table size.
I do not want to design my application however to find out a year from now that I should have been storing these files in a traditional file system because of (... whatever ...) and just linking them by path in the sql database.
I'm curious what users of this forum believe to be the best practices surrounding this type of database?
 I currently have a DB that is growing at a rate of 10gb per month. It is set to 1mb unrestricted growth and the log file is set to 400mb restricted growth. I take regular transaction log backups so the log file is well under under without any issue. This DB's recovery model is set to FULL as it has to be mirrored to a backup site.  Any recommendations on how to control the growth. - Is it advisable to take create a new DB with data older than 2 years and transfer that file to an external drive and if i do this, can i "attach" it back to the main server if and when required ?

Hi everyone,I have a question. I am using a DataSet file as my data layer in my app. I'm trying to create a event TableAdaptor where one of the queries has two paramaters (@start & @end). Those two variables are used to search for items that have start dates that fall in between the two. Every time I try to use this, the smart tab always brings up three paramaters (DataTable, start as date, end as date). How the hell does that DataTable get thrown in there. I executed the query in the builder section and it only asks for the two variables.Any idea on this one?Thanks!

Hello There,
I would really appreciate if you can help me with this problem. I am currently using SQL Server 2005 Express for one of my web application. I have a .bak file (backup file) provided by my client which I want to use for testing purpose. Now I just want to know how can I use that backup file without installing SQL SERVER 2005 as one way to do this I know is to restore the database in SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Manager but I can't install SQL Server 2005.
To my knowledge, SQL Server Express uses .mdf file for database but what I have is .BAK file..
I would be really glad to see your quick answers.
Thank you for reading this far.
Sincerely,
Zulfiqar
Dear SQL folks,
We have files from an event log in a DEC Alpha server and we would like to create a database program to import these files and then be able to read and query the info in them.
These files contain information such as error codes about the machine that the Alpha controls. They also contain time stamps. I am told that these files are hexidecimal.
Someone mentioned in passing that if we use MSaccess as the database, we would first have to write a program to convert these files to a format that Access can understand.
But, we were told that SQL7 has Add-ins that comes on the CD that can convert these files to a format that SQL7 can then understand.
Does anyone know if this is true..and how difficult is file conversion to accomplish?
If anyone thinks that they might be able to help us, I can sent them a small sample of the hex files
Thank you in advance
I have a table in a flat file that I need to convert to SQL Server 2000. Within this file are 4 different record definitions (all are similar but with different lengths).
I have experience converting files that are of 2 different record definitions, but never with this many. What kind of data migration techniques are available for such a process? I need to be able to get these 4 different definitions into 4 different tables.
It is coming from a COBOL program in UNIX.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
