Are there any tools/utilties that can diff 2 sql server databases. I know the DB Pro Edition of VSTS can do it, but its hard to justify a jump from my $800 copy of VS2005 Pro to a $5k-6k version of VS just to get database diff. The tablediff looks promising but I need it to do SPROCS and SFUNCS too. Any helps or recommendations would be appreciated.

I have 2 databases:
1 from production and 1 from development.
None of the developers kept a changelog so i need to know what has changed (or what is different between the 2).
Any Ideas on how to do this?
I got a quick question.
My database size has reached the limit of the drive, one option is to
add a new database device on a different drive, then expand in across
2 drives.
Anything I have to concern for a database on 2 database device on 2 logical drives (recoverability or ...?) compared to maybe another option:
reformat the whole disk and allocated more space to the original drive and recover (since in my case, all disk space have been formated) from backup....

I backup a database at the begining of each month with a full and then do nightly diffs on it.
For the same database I run daily fulls and 10 minute log backups.
these two backups create / append to two different backup files.
The problem im having is that I cant restore the Differential backup set. SQL seems to restore the full just fine but alwasy throws an error when its about to start to retore the last diff. now forgive me but I clicked OK on the message and I cant find any record of the error in the logs but its something like:
"SQL cannot restore the database as the database has not been restored to the previous correct state"
is my 10 min TS log backups screwing up the DIff chain somehow?
this is really doing my head in. any help appreciated.

Hello,
My master database (MS SQL 2005) has simple recovery model, however, when performing diff backup of "all databases", I am getting the following error:
Executing the query "BACKUP DATABASE [master] TO DISK = N'X:\Database Backups\diff backups\master\master_backup_200803251235.bak' WITH DIFFERENTIAL , NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'master_backup_20080325123514', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
" failed with the following error: "You can only perform a full backup of the master database. Use BACKUP DATABASE to back up the entire master database.
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
If I choose to back up only "All user databases", then it performs just fine. Why I cannot run diff backup of master?
Hi all
Is it possible taking Diff backup of master database,If recovery model is FULL..
Could not clear 'DIFF' bitmap in database due to error 9002 . A subsequent backup operation may be slower/larger than normal .

so how to get the hours(if diff>59 mins),minutes(if diff>59 sec),seconds.
for Ex: here diff=185 sec. then Diag_hrs should be 3 hours,0 mins, 5 secs.
so how we'll get this.
pl help me out asap.
Thanx

Can i restore a diff. backup alone without a complete backup?
(what i am trying is this.....there are two different servers at two diff. places....i need to have both servers in sync. at all times.modifications will take place in one server and the modifications have to be reflected in the other server.i could not go for replication as the servers cannot be connected.sending complete backups daily will be a overhead .hence planning to take complete backup once and send diff. backups alone on subsequent days to the other server.
how can i achieve this?)
Dear all
I am new to the MS SQL, my problem is as follows.
I am having a online database on sql 2k.
every 15 days we have to give payout from our system, so we
have a offline server in our office, we take the complete backup of that day & restore the same on the offline server,
& start the payout process.
The problem is that the full backup is a big file & take a lot of time for downloading from online server.
is it possible that we take on diff. backup of that day & will restore the same on the offline server so the file will take less time to download.
but my offline backup is 15 days old, will that update all the records or not?
regards

In playing with differential backups, i have taken a full last night, 17GB, took my first diff today 16.5GB, took another diff right after, it was still 16.5GB, took another diff right after 16.5 GB. This database has 0 activity during the day, the import takes place @ night, and select's are done to it during the day. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have a handful of jobs that I need to troubleshoot, but this one will hopefully give me enough insight to do the rest myself. I need to figure out why a Maintenance Plan that performs a Diff Backup on 4 databases, and then a transaction log back up on the 4 databases is failing. I just get the following error message, and I cannot tell what failed.

I need a to build a result as shown above in matrix, many countries will be in resultset and each country performance is evaluated based on previous year. (90-80)/80=12.50%. the problem is this year and segment values are calculated based on aggregate functions and is derived by means of specific formaule. for country1 in year 2006 for segment1 the value 80,90 is arrived by using sum(leadtime*Ordervalue)/sum(Ordervalue).
So i cannot store these current and previous year values for calculating the % bymeans of custom code, runningvalue cannot be used as the formulae already has an aggregate, is there any direct way to locate the cell references just like excel R1C1 with matrix? if so then i can refer the cells for calculating my %. please help.
Thanks in advance.

Friends,
I have taken backup of a database, of which Data (MDF) & Log (LDF) files are located on "E:...." directory.
Now, I am using the same backup file to restore on another PC which is having no partitions at all. I mean now I have to restore the database using same backup file, of which Data & Log files should be located on "C:...." directory only, as it has no partitions.
This restore process gives me error :
Restore failed for Server 'HSVMMICROFIT'.
Details : System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '5(Access is denied.)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'C:Program FilesMicroFitHealthStar v6.0 Server EditionDataMICROFIT_HealthStar_Data.mdf'.
What is to be done, in order to restore the database from the same back up file successfully, regardless whether the original physical location of the MDF & LDF file, is existing on current PC ??????????????
Please try to solve the same for me.... W8ing...
Hi @all,
I designed a query in report designer, data tab. This query runs 24 secs, when I execute it from the data tab in report designer.
Publishing the report and running it from the report server. The query needs 40x the time as in report designer.
Looking at the Execution Log, the report needs 800 secs for TimeDataRetrieval.
Why is it so much slower to run the query from report server? The report designer has also to retrieve the data, and runs so much faster.
Thanks for any hints

Hi ,
What is the diff between Logins & Users in SQL Server?
thanks

The DB Enginee is SQL2005 SP1. In MSSMS
the following query always finishes within 1 minute
SELECT *
FROM t1 INNER JOIN t2 ON t1.key= t2.key
where t1.StartTime >= '3/19/2008' AND t1.EndTime <= '3/20/2008'
AND t2.StartTime >= t1.StartTime AND t2.StartTime < t1.EndTime
however, the following always takes 10+ minutes
declare @pStartDate datetime
declare @pEndDate datetime
set @pStartDate='3/19/2008'
set @pEndDate='3/20/2008'
SELECT *
FROM t1 INNER JOIN t2 ON t1.key= t2.key
where t1.StartTime >= @pStartDate AND t1.EndTime <= @pEndDate
AND t2.StartTime >= t1.StartTime AND t2.StartTime < t1.EndTime
Both return same result. The only diff. is the blue part. Why the second one performances so badly?
Thanks.
We recieve about 4 million rows of data from a client per week. Each file is a complete snapshot of their data, we need to be able to find the rows that are different or new in the current weeks file compared to last weeks file.
Is this possible using 2 Flat file sources and some kind of sort/merge join?
If you are familiar with ORACLE or postgres its similar to a "MINUS" or "EXCEPT" respectively. Right now we load both files to separate tables and compare them in sql server which is very slow.
Diff. b/w Stored Procedures and Function??
When any of them is appropriate to use?
