Have audit requirements that require that all schema changes to certain database are tracked and monitored. Any tools that can monitor these changes and log them for audit review?
View 3 RepliesHi
I'm looking into various technologies that can make our lives easier. I have a number of processes to define, including:
Auto rollback scripting
Deployment to different environments (dev, test, production)Generation of deployment scripts from source control
Tracking deployments (generation of reports detailing exactly what occurred in a deployment)
Rather than try to custom the processes, I've decided to use a technology that already does the above and more.
Can anyone recommend any tools?
I've looked briefly at SQL Farm Combine which looks good. Anyone using this?

I just installed Management Studio 2016 CP1. Unfortunately, the Database Diagrams branch does not show-up when I expand the individual databases in Object Explorer. Interestingly, they show-up in Management Studio 2008
View 2 Replies View RelatedI can't change the database owner..I noticed this when I went to create a database diagram and the error said the database does not have a valid owner.
So for that database I went to Properties > Files and sure enough, the owner is wrong. Why? I had changed the name of the PC recently, actually a couple of times. When I finally got the name right, I ran the following commands in the query window:
   SELECT @@SERVERNAME to get the current server name
   and then Â
sp_dropserver <old name>
[code]....
to change the server name.The owner in the Properties > Files is for a pc name that doesn't exist. But when I click on the '...' button to the right to select a new Database Owner I can't select the primary account on the PC.If I create a new database, it puts that old name in as the database owner.
I went down to <server>SecurityLogins and the old <pcname><username> is still listed, and I can't add the <newpcname><username> because it says that principle already exists . I'm afraid to make any other change without knowing for certain what to do.how to get a new database owner name on all the databases on this server.Do I delete that old Login and then try to add in the new name?
I can see a database file in the Data folder which is used by the "sqlservr.exe" process (detected this using Process Explorer) but I cannot a see a database in the list in SQL Server Management Studio.I am sysadmin on the server (also tried with the "sa" account).tried running "USING" statement with no luck.Is there a system view which tells the relationgship between data files and databases?

Hi all,
I'm looking into the possibility of buying (as I doubt there's any good free options) a SQL Server Monitoring tool.
Has anyone got any particular recommendations - good or bad? I know a little about Spotlight, but not much else.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We are evaluating proactive monitoring tools for our heterogeneous database environment, currently comprising of Sybase and MS SQL Server.
Our current options are Bradmark Surveillance, Quest Foglight/Spotlight, MOM (SQL Server only) & Embarcadero Performance Center.
Are there any recommended tools from your experience? Or any tools with with you have had bad experience?
Tia.
All, I seek your knowldege. I am looking for a monitoring tool thathas the abilility to page and email me should something go wrong withSQL server. I know of two such tools: 1.) BMC Patrol, and 2.) Quest'sFoglight. I was hoping that some of you have had some experience withother such tools. Let me know please.Louis
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am backing up a database as follows:
backup database PPLicense to disk = 'D:License.bak'
I have run this 5 times. If I know run this command:
restore headeronly from disk = 'D:License.bak'
I can see 5 entries returned this all looks good. In SQL Management studio I try and restore this database by selecting the file. The Restore Database dialog only shows the last backup set position i.e. position 5 and now the 4 before it. Why is this not showing the 4 previous backups?
I am using SQL Server 2012 SP 2 (Version 11.0.3460).
I want to know if there are any tools that will allow
a DBA to monitor changes that occur on SQL databases
(deletion, addittion or modifications) on any objects,
and Sql security.
I have looked at Profiler in SQL and it is very limited
and plus it is huge memory hog and causes degradation on
your servers.
We've got about fifty MSSQL Servers (7.0 and 2000) in our shop.
Can anybody recommend a good tool to monitor all kind of activities and conditions on those servers?
Hi, gurus:
Please tell me some third parts monitoring tools for MS SQL server 2000.
I have been using the built-in tools of SQL Server (email and netsend) to monitor and alert me about some basic issues (like severity errors and job failures) with our SQL servers. We are now approaching a level and number of servers where I think we need to get a more global and more stable solution to monitoring and alerting.
So what third party tools are you are using to monitor your SQL Servers?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm looking for tool that will help me to monitor and analyze SQL server performance including SQL activities and server activities(cpu, memory usage) as well.
I appriciate any feedback,
Thank you,

I'm fairly new to the DBA thing.
I've been doing quite a bit of research on monitoring MSSQL performance.
What tools are you guys using?
PerfMon, Dbartisan, Spotlight, or what?
I'd like to find some free or affordable way to watch our Servers to check health/performance/etc.
I have recently installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express but I do not find Management Tools in order to create scheduled backups and shrinking of the databases. I was under the impression that this should be included in the Management Studio. I use the SQL 2005 Express for smaller customers who run the SQL on a desktop unit. I need a way to backup the data to a server machine for backup purposes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.
I just finished installing SQL Server 2005 Developer Beta 2.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi everyone.
I manage 100+ databases spread across the country. When it comes to perform an update or offsite backup, it is a nightmare. I have to repeat the same code and the same process for 100+ times.
Is there any tools other than MS Enterprise manager we can use to perform this type of maintenance works in a batch manner? For example, we place a update sql file within the program, and the program does the rest (of course, we predefine the login credential for each databases)
Cheers~

Hi, I installed sql 2005 dev for testing sharepoint, and the management studio was not installed. Now, i am afraid to try to install it because i am thinking it may uninstall or re-install all sql components (and probably erase existing instances and sharepoint data may be lost. I have installed on an other pc the client tools, but i cannot connect to that instance, and i cannot attach the user databases (i get the 5123 error)
Can anyone help me how i can install management services without messing up the sharepoint instance?

Hi Team,
Is there any management tools in SQL SERVER 2005? I just installed my standard edition and also developer version in different computer, but seems that both versions doesn't support management tools such as query analyzer.
Can anyone explain to me...
Thanks.
>> I was able to solve this. Read the bottom of the post.
I just installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and none of the management tools seem to be there. At least they do not show up in Start>>All Programs>>Microsoft SQL Server 2005. All that shows up is the Configuration Tools menu item.
I have been searching through the forum and I have found dozens of other threads about this, but none that seem to actually answer the question or give a solution. Some say to delete everything and start over, others say to review Visual Studio 2005 (which takes something like 4 hours to install, and then you still have to install all of the 3rd party tools, so I don't want to do that unless I just have to), and a few others say to uninstall SQL Server Express and then reinstall SQL Server. However, I believe that I selected to install them both at the same time.
Anyway, I just looking for some ideas here to get all of this installed. There seems to be some problem here that a lot of people are having to deal with.
Are the Managment Tools disabled by default? It seems that in 2005 a lot of the services are turned off by default so I'm wondering if I have to do something to turn on the Management Tools.
Best regards,
Greg Rothlander
I just uninstalled and reinstalled per some threads on the forum and it all showed up. Apperently if anyone runs into this, just uninstall everything that has to do with Microsoft SQL Server and reinstall.
I have been trying for 2 days now to get the SQL Server management tools installed on client machines. I'm starting to think it is not possible to do that the way we used to be able to with previous versions of SQL Server. I have installed 3rd party open source software on my own machine so that I can query the database without logging onto the server directly and would like for my co-workers to be able to do the same. As I mentioned we tried the SQL Server Management studio and all we get is a message saying to uninstall all the beta and Visual Studio *** on our machines. We stripped one machine all the way down to the OS and still kept getting that message so I'm guessing it is some new Windows Vista issue that makes SQL Server 2005 client tools completely incompatible with XP. However, we are not going to bow to Microsoft's evil ways and upgrade to their new OS just to use the SQL Server Studio. If need be I will write my own software to workaround this problem. In the meantime, can anyone recommend some good 3rd party tools that will allow us to query the SQL Server 2005 database on a server and preferably one that does not require all other software be removed first?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is not the first install for me but i've noticed that after installing sql server standard 2005 and then i put on sp2 i cannot find my management studio. i don't think that is was ever installed although i did choose to install it. now when i try to install the tools i'm getting the error that they already exist. arghhhh... ? I've looke to uninstall them through the "add or remove programs" but thats a no-go. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks.
(just to add to this my sql database resides on another server so I copied the contents of the dvd over to the server)
I've got the following installed on my local machine (XP Pro, sp 4, SQL 2000 tools)
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.1399.00
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 2005.090.1399.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.085.1117.00 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42
Operating System 5.1.2600
It keeps bomging and giving errors.
I can't find a specific service pack for the tools...maybe there isn't one? Do I need to install the regular sp2 server service pack?
I'm confused.
I have VS2008 installed. Now, I need to install the SQL server Management Tools, because of tasks I have on SQL server instances which are installed on other servers. I guess a lot of developers are in such a situation. You develop on your own machine, but deploy the final database on a production machine.And you happen to be the manager of those databases too (well, I am)
Now, it seems impossible to install the neccesary tools as I get messages;
The following components that you chose to install are already installed on the machine. To view a report of available options and alternatives click on details (Workstation components, Books Online and development tools 9.2.3042.00)
Then on the Details, it says the following,
Name: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Tools Express Edition
Reason: Your upgrade is blocked. For more information about upgrade support, see the "Version and Edition Upgrades" and "Hardware and Software Requirements" topics in SQL Server 2005 Setup Help or SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
Build version check:
Your upgrade is blocked because the existing component is a later version than the version you are trying to upgrade to. To modify an existing SQL Server component, go to Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel, select the component you would like to modify, and then click Change/Remove.
Now, I have no clue of what can be safely removed to allow the installation of the Management Tools. I am afraid that I will end up with a non-working SQL server Express installation which is required for VS2008
What should I do to get these Managment Tools installed on my develop machine?
I've accidentally done something to my install of Management Studio that is making query editing very difficult. I must have used a weird key combination to enable some feature that is now opening an Intellisense like window with suggested keywords or column names. I've tried every option I can find to disable this and even tried all the <ctrl> key combinations from A-Z to try to turn this off. How to have the editor revert to the "default" behavior as installed?
I've received several replies about disabling Intellisense or changing the Intellisense options and I've already done this to no effect. I've also not installed any 3rd party tools. I was editing queries when the problem began and I think I had hit a <ctrl> or <alt> key combination key that started this problem.
