Offline Command Hangs When I Try To Take Database Offline

Apr 10, 2007

Hi, I am relative newbie to SQLServer. When I try to take a user database offline, the query "hangs," with the query processing circle spinning. The Sharepoint 7 application is running on top of the Enterprise SQL Server 2005 db with several logins sleeping and awaiting commands. No errors are generated until I kill the offline command. Anyone have any ideas? Do I need to kill all the connections?

Database Offline

Nov 27, 1998

Hi all,

We have a serious problem.
The database in SQL Server 6.5 is marked offline
and the error log displayed the following messages :
udopen : file 'F:Filename.DAT' is incorrect size (614400 bytes, should be 537600)

udactivate (primary) : failed to open device 'F:Filename.DAT' for vdn 131

The entries for the device exists in sysusages and sysdevices.

Anyone encountered this before?
Please help if you know how we can get the database online, again.

Many Thanks.

Database Taken Offline

Feb 28, 2006

Over the weekend I had one of my databases taken offline. To my knowledge no one explicitly took this database offline. This isn't to say that someone did and is refusing to speak up. I'm just trying to find some answers.

I do know that our IT dept. did maintenance to a number of our servers and they swear nothing was done to this one. So my question is, "Is there any SQL process that can take a database offline."

I've checked the log files but there isn't anything that directly points to that database being taken offline.

Running Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4, SQL 2000 SP3 on a NT INTEL X86 platform.

Any ideas or comments are appreciated!

Database Offline

Mar 12, 2007

What exactly is database offline? I tried to google it but didn't get what I was looking for.

One of my environments has few users. They attach databases and run an application to produce the results. Sometimes they forget to detach databases after their use and these databases remain in SQL Server. Sometimes they leave the database to use it in future.

At the moment there are about 900 databases attached. I believe these attached databases are using the servers resources and therefore, decrease performance. Is this correct?

I was thinking to force the users to detach databases that they do not need and attach when they need. Then thought why shouldn't just set the database to offline and take it back online when they need. Does this increase performance? Does this save server's resources?

Thanks,

Canada DBA

Database Offline Errors

Oct 31, 2007

I currently have a very long script that I need to run on several servers through an SSIS package. The issue stems from servers that have one or two databases offline. This causes the script to fail. Is there an easy way to get the script to either run on offline databases or skip those that are offline? Thanks

Copying Database Offline

May 19, 2008

I'm going overseas this summer with my laptop and I have to continue working on a project. Unfortunately that laptop only has Windows Vista Home Premium. I can't afford to get the upgrade but am in the position of having to copy a database from the server to my laptop so I can continue working on it. What I need to do is find a way to copy the database over but in the case where the two computers aren't connected over a network. Is this possible? I tried to simply copy the .mdb, but there were permissions errors (of course). Is there a way to do this? It's pretty important that I get it on the laptop one way or another. Thank you!

Help - Script That Checks For OFFLINE Database

Sep 21, 2006

Hello ,

I have got a script which checks for the databases that are offline. and mails the dba when any of the database is offline.

When I schedule the job , for every hour , it gives me an blank mail only with the subject ' status of database on testsql' even though no databases are offline.

So how can I change the script , so that it mails the dba only when a database is offline even though its scheduled every hour or half an hour.

The script is:

Set NoCount on
DECLARE @dbname VARCHAR(100)
deCLARE @Status varchar(100)
Declare @Message VARCHAR(8000)
DECLARE @date varchar(100)
set @date = convert(varchar(100), getdate(),109)
set @Message = ''DECLARE dbname_cursor
CURSOR FOR SELECT [name], CONVERT(varchar(30),DATABASEPROPERTYEX(name,'Statu s'))
as [Status] FROM master..sysdatabases WHERE CONVERT(varchar(30),DATABASEPROPERTYEX(name,'Statu s')) = 'OFFLINE'
order by name
OPEN dbname_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM dbname_cursor INTO @dbname, @Status
WHILE
@@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN select @message = @message + @@Servername + '-' + @dbname + ' - ' + @Status + Char(13)+ ‘- ‘ + @date
FETCH NEXT FROM dbname_cursor INTO @dbname, @Status
END
CLOSE dbname_cursor
DEALLOCATE dbname_cursor

print @message
EXEC master.dbo.xp_smtp_sendmail
@FROM = N'testsql2000@is.depaul.edu',
@TO = N'dvaddi@depaul.edu',
@server = N'smtp.depaul.edu',
@subject = N'Status of the Database on Testsqlserver!',
@type = N'text/html',
@message = @message


Thanks

Backup Of Database Doesn't Take Source DB Offline

Jul 16, 2014

I'm using 2014 SE.I know a backup of a database doesn't take the source DB offline, but then I need to move this DB to another server (for intensive reporting work). At present we restore the DB, but that means putting the DB in single user mode, kicking everyone off, and completing the restore.

I see from 2014 EE notes that "online restore" is possible. EE is of course, mightily expensive.Or perhaps it's possible to configure things to speed up the restore process somehow, so there is less downtime?, the resource impact in creating the backup is quite high, perhaps there's a way to (apart from playing with backup compression) reduce the impact on the source server here?

SP2 Maintenance Backup Fails On Offline Database.

May 29, 2007

I have a maintenance plan step to perform transaction log backups. There are a few databases that are offline. The backup seems to fail because it tries to backup the offline databases. The backup step is by itself as one of three subplans, although it also fails when it is the only step in a plan with only one subplan.

I have another server that is only on SP1 and it does not have problems handling the offline databases.

Is this an issue with SP2(9.0.3054)?

DB Engine :: Cannot Put Database Offline Or In Multi User

Mar 22, 2012

I am trying to place a database offline.

When I right in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio on the database > Take Offline

Set offline failed for Database 'OperationsManagerAC'.

Transaction (Process ID 56) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction. ALTER DATABASE statement failed. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1205)

So I am trying with some queries to pass the database from Single user to multi user but it fails

USE [master]
GO
ALTER DATABASE OperationsManagerAC SET MULTI_USER GO
Msg 1205, Level 13, State 68, Line 1</p><p>Transaction (Process ID 52) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.
Msg 5069, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER DATABASE statement failed.

I tried also

alter DATABASE OperationsManagerAC SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

IT FAILS AS WELL... with the same error... how to run the SQL Statements without using

How to proceed next?

Does Offline Database Come Back Online When Server Is Restarted?

Jun 9, 2006

If you take a database offline to prevent users from accessing it, and then restart the server, will the database be back online when the server starts up?

If so, is there an option to prevent this from happening so that a database taken offline will remain offline until it is manually put online again by an administrator?

Dear All,

One of my users created a MSDE database and did not realise that the limit is 2GB. I can not access the database. Is there anyway I can recover it?

They do not have a backup.

Could I create a new database in Standard Edition and then attach the Data and log files from the MSDE database?
Would that work?

How To Backup Tr. Log When Database Is OFFLINE And Mdf File Is Remote My Mistake?

Sep 21, 2006

I €˜d like to discus with you the following REAL enough disaster scenario:
1. The TEST database is in the FULL backup mode.
2. WE have a full TEST DB backup and all tr. log backups.
3. DBA moved TEST database OFFLINE for maintenance operations.
4. MDF file for TEST DB was removed by mistake.
5. TRANSACTION LOG (LDF) file is OK.
6. DBA want to recover database to the point of failure.
According with MS SQL Server 2000 documentation it is possible.
We need to backup the transaction log , BUT I CANNOT DO THIS.
PLEASE, HELP.
In the same time, I can make LDF backup and recover database to the point of failure, if database is online and I stop/start SQL Server to remove MDF file.

Any pointers ?

Help!!! Can't Connect - Db Offline

Aug 24, 2004

OK, so I took one of my db's offline for maintenance, then realized that I wanted to be logged in as another user, so I logged out.

Now SS won't let me log in, because every time I try to connect I get:

A connection could not be established...
Reason: Cannot open user default database. Login failed..

The db I took offline is the default db for every single privileged account on the server. Why do I feel like I just locked my keys in the car?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA!

Replication For Offline Use.

Jul 8, 2005

I plan on using SqlServer 2005 Express as a local datastore for my application when working offline. The idea is that the user would initiate a Synchronize action from the client application, this action would start replication going between a Networked sql 2000/2005 server and their local Express server. (At the beginning I plan on replicating the entire database).

Accessing A SQL Server While Offline

Jan 17, 2002

I have installed SQL Server on my laptop (full version), but can only access it while on the network. If I disconnect from the network, open Enterprise Manager, and click on my connection, I get the error "sql server does not exist or access denied". Why can't EM find my own machine? I even logged onto my own computer as a local user, instead of the network domain, and still recieved the error. Can someone tell me where I can edit (maybe my registration properties), so that I can run SQL server, while offline.

Thanks!
Trevor
