Data Restore On Elm Street!
Jul 20, 2005
Hi all, a bit of a nasty one here!
Ive inherited a server that has just collapsed. It contains SQL Server
and has a fair amount of data on it.
The server would only boot into a BSOD Stop Error. I suspected that
one of the hives in the registry was corrupt so I used the Win2K
Recovery Console to restore the registry to its original settings (So
Windows can not see the SQL stuff now). There is no restore points
from which to take recent registry settings.
My Question is this...
We have a spare server (just lying about you know!!!) which we plan to
install Win2K and MS SQL Server onto... How can I transfer the data,
in a nice easy manner, from the old server to the new server?
Is it possible to move just the data files into the new install?
Remember I inherited this server! (I dont have Backups!!!)
Please... No email's about how important backups are... I know how
important backups are.
Any help/ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks, John T.

After reading performance tuning articles and stuffs. Im getting confussed about writing my queries. One point says don't use 'not in' instead use 'not exists'. But looks i cant implement that in my query.
I'm trying to get only the decimal numbers. not the fractions.
my question is if this is the best query? Inputs will be appreaciated.
declare @table table (tableid int identity, ad_str1 varchar(100))
insert @table
select '2 NORTHPORT AVENUE' union all
select '22 NORTHPORT AVENUE' union all
select '233 NORTHPORT AVENUE' union all
select '2433 NORTHPORT AVENUE' union all
select '2 1/2 NORTHPORT AVENUE' union all
select '22 1/3 NORTHPORT AVENUE' union all
select '233 1/4 NORTHPORT AVENUE' union all
select '2433 1/8 NORTHPORT AVENUE' union all
select '2a NORTHPORT AVENUE' union all
select '22a NORTHPORT AVENUE' union all
select '233a NORTHPORT AVENUE' union all
select '2433a NORTHPORT AVENUE' union all
select '2 a NORTHPORT AVENUE' union all
select '22 a NORTHPORT AVENUE' union all

select '15 s NORTHPORT AVENUE' union all
select '15 w NORTHPORT AVENUE' union all
select '15 c & k north avenue' union all
select '1/3 NORTHPORT AVENUE' union all
select '93 H ROAD'
select tableid, ad_str1, left(ad_str1, charindex(' ', ad_str1))
from @table
where left(ad_str1, charindex(' ', ad_str1)) not in ('1/2','1/3','1/4','1/8','2/3','3/4')
and isnumeric (left(ad_str1, charindex(' ', ad_str1))) = 1

Hi all,
I am trying to restore my data warehouse from a January 2008 backup under a new name to recover a table that I accidentally deleted. It is taking a long time for the restore to get done. Here is the command I am running as sa in QA
---
RESTORE DATABASE Warehouse_new FROM DISK = 'H:MSSQLDataMSSQLBACKUPDBBackupsWarehouseWa rehouse_db_200801050600.BAK'
WITH
MOVE 'Warehouse_Data' TO 'G:MSSQLDataMSSQLDataWarehouse_New_Data.MDF',
MOVE 'Warehouse_Log' TO 'H:MSSQLDataMSSQLLogsWarehouse_New_Log.ldf'
----
There Warehouse_New_Data.MDF is 375 GB and the log is 12 GB.
There is still 169 GB of free space on the drive I am restoring to after the presence of Warehouse_Data.MDF and Warehouse_New_Data.MDF (each 375 GB).
Its been 4.5 hrs and the restore is still running. Backups take about 3.5 hrs to complete. Can I do any checks on the restore to see what point it is at? I stopped the restore using EM earlier after it took 8 hours and still no progress.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Dear database gurus out there,
Not sure if this thread has been discussed before but I dont seem to be able to locate any. :confused:
Can any gurus kindly tell me the followings:
1) I have just installed Oracle 9i ver 9.2.0 into a Window XP Server. Everything went smoothly.
2) I have to load in the DBF files, how am i going to restore the data to the database?
3) Actually these DBF files were copied from another XP server. So I was thinking how to create the control files?
I'm kinda stuck here so would really appreciate some form of help here. Many Thanks.

new to SQL Server 2000. We have an obsolete database that we need to
save off for x number of years. DB2 has utilities (DB2Look/Export)
that allows for the export of the data along with a schema and script
that enables the future recreation of the structure of the databases
and tables to include RI etc. You can save off the architecture and
relationships of the tables as well as the data.
Does SQL Server have anything similar?
Failing that, our plan is to backup the data and logs then image the entire disk.
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to compress the data at restore time?.
Backup is coming from a not compressed database.
The backup file is compressed.

I am having a problem with a client's MS SQL Server 2005. When doing a restore, SQL will not allow me to restore to the database mdf and ldf files outside the SQL root folder (C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server). I want the data and log files to be on a separate disk with plenty of disk space. When I created the database, SQL allowed me to create the mdf and ldf files in the E:Data SQL ServerData folder. But when I perform the restore SQL reverts to the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData folder. I am specifically redirecting the mdf and ldf files to the custom folder by clicking on the button (...) to change the folder.
I have tried creating a new SQL Server instance and uninstalling and reinstalling SQL Server to no avail.
How can I force the restore task to restore my database to the custom data folder location?
Thanks

I have two SQL Databases on separate servers, live and test. I have been asked to copy the data from the live system and put it into test. They are SQL Management Studio 2008 running on MS Server 2008R2.
Could a simple backup of the database, then copy that file to the test system and restore the database from that point work or it there more to it?

We are setting up the clients' database with transactional replication that allows the subscriber to send updates by pull subscriptions.
The plan is to create a second database so the users can keep working on the original database while we get the replication set up and working. Once we feel confident that the replication is working on the second database, the plan was to backup the old one, then detach it, and then restore the new database with the latest data from the old one. My question is whether this would preserve all the replication configurations that we set up? Since the replication adds a column to each table what would happen to that column? Or what is an alternative, which would allow us to set up the replication without disturbing the user's work, and then implement the replication with the latest data?
I am also wondering how to set the synchronization to happen once daily? I do not see where I can set that. I only see options for continuous vs on demand. Does on demand mean I can somehow schedule with an external program to run once a day?
Thanks for your patience, and I hope my questions make sense.

I am trying to create sql code that restores a backup of a master database to a new database on the same server. It “seems” to run correctly as no errors are produced. However, the most recent updates to the master database are not present in the new databases. All databases are using the Full recovery model. What is really strange is that if I do (what I think is) the same function in Enterprise Administrator, the restore works fine! For both methods I used the same backup file!
Any and all help is sincerely appreciated.
The master databases from which the backups are made start with “MODTRNMaster”
The databases which are created from the restores start with “M1_” and “M2_”. (We call them training room databases.)
My script for backing up the master databases:
-- Backup the master training database
backup database MODTRNMaster
to disk = 'f:kupMODTRNMaster.bak'
backup database MODTRNMaster_IMG
to disk = 'f:kupMODTRNMaster_IMG.bak'
backup database MODTRNMaster_MNC
to disk = 'f:kupMODTRNMaster_MNC.bak'
backup database MODTRNMaster_VM
to disk = 'f:kupMODTRNMaster_VM.bak'
go
This is the restore script for restoring the first training room databases. I’m hoping that there is just something simple that I’m overlooking in these restore statements! J
-- Restore the backup of the master training database into the
-- training room #1 database.
use master
go
drop database M1_MSLH
go
restore database M1_MSLH
from disk = 'f:kupMODTRNMaster.bak'
with move 'DEV5_Data' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH.mdf',
move 'MM' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH_1.mdf',
move 'AMB' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH_2.mdf',
move 'DM' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH_3.mdf',
move 'IMM' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH_4.mdf',
move 'ED' to 'f:mssqldataM1_MLSH_5.mdf',
move 'DEV5_Log' to 'f:mssqllogM1_MLSH_log.ldf',
recovery
go
Thanks in advance

Hi at all,
first post....first help :P .
I hope to help another one (basing on my knowledge) in the next future :)
I'm a beginner dbadmin and I'm looking for help regarding a strange fact relative SQL Server 2005 :)
I migrated a medium(3,5GB) database from sql server 2000 to sql server 2005.
I made a backup in sql server 2000 (it has generated a 3,5GB BAK FILE) and I restored it in sql server 2005 on another server. (I didn't checked data file size).
I configured (with wizard) a maintenance plan on new sql server 2005 with these steps (in this order):
(tellme if the order of the steps is wrong :))
1) check db
2) rebuild index
3) reorganize indexes
4) update statistics (all table and all views)
I planned the maintenance plan on 3a.m. and I went home.
Next day I found that data file (MDF) on sql server 2005 was 22GB large!!
I made a shrink DB but there wasn't free space to erase. It seems there are
22GB of data.
(the data inside is the same of the sql 2000 server..same records same
table...identical, non change of data in the meanwhile)
How is it possible? What am I doing wrong?
I don't understand what can caused the growth of the file, the maintenance plan or the restore? (unfortunately....I didn't checked size after restore...I checked it only the next day).
May be the statistics? (there wasn'int update statistics job on old maintenance plan on sql server 2000)
Thanks in advance :)

In Windows Server 2012. How do I do a System Restore to a previous restore point?I need to install the 64 bit and 32 bit Oracle Client Install for connections in SSIS and to create Oracle Linked Servers.
If you make a mistake it is not fun removing it. Sometimes it corrupts the machine and it is difficult to uninstall since there is not an Oracle Universal installer for Oracle 11g.If you install the 32 bit before the 64 you mess up the machine.how to create a restore point.

I am looking for a SQL Backup/Restore tools which can restore multiple environments. Here is high level requirements.
1. We have 4 DBs, range from 1 TB - 1.5 TB Each Database. When we restore to QA, DEV, or Staging, we usually restore 4 of them.
2. I am looking for the speed to complete restoring between 1 - 2 hours for 4 DBs.
I am evaluating the Dephix Software but the setup is very complex and its given us a lot of issues with Windows Authentions, and failure in the middle of the backup. I used Guess Software many years ago but can't find it on the web site any more. Speed is very important for us mean complete restoring as fast as possible. We are on SQL 2012 and SQL 2008 R2.We are currently using NETAPP Technology and I have Redgate Backup Tool but I am mainly looking for fast Restore Process.
