Hi,
My customers are having problems to restore their own db.
They use SQL Server Management Studio and when they try to restore their db from a device and add the backup file an error message comes up stating that the user does not have permission to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLBackup.
How can I set a different backup location for each user?
Kindest regards,
Tito Duarte
Trying to track the users who are logged in and making changes to my database. I have granted permission through the Windows Groups and the log displays the group names and not the user names. Is there something to set to display the user and the group?
Thanks

We have a pretty large SQL Server database, just shy of 400 GB. It is divided up into 24 different data files. The previous DBA here said it is faster to backup the backup individual data files to seperate files. So what he did was issue 6 backup statements like the one below as a step in an agent job.
BACKUP DATABASE MYDATABASE
FILE = 'Data',
FILE = 'data2',
FILE = 'data3',
FILE = 'data4'
TO Data1_4
WITH FORMAT
Next step:
BACKUP DATABASE MYDATABASE
FILE = 'data5',
FILE = 'data6',
FILE = 'data7',
FILE = 'data8'
TO Data5_8
WITH FORMAT
etc.. in sequence.
What I question is how this is faster than just issuing a backup for the whole database? Has anyone ever ran into this before?

I've written a custom script to delete backup files from location. But unable to modify now to count the number of files are deleted. How to modify the script...
/* Script to delete older than N days backup from a specific directory */
USE [db_admin]
GO
IF OBJECT_ID('usp_DeleteBackup', 'P') IS NOT NULL
DROP PROC usp_DeleteBackup
GO
[Code] .....
It is very intersting to find out that when we are backuping a database we are not able to specify a shared folder .Why?Is it because security concern or it is idenfied as bug or is there any work around.Only thing we are able to specify is that it points to the local drive of the particular server. Help would be more appericated.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs the name of the most recent backup file for each database stored anywhere in SQL2K? I want execute a SQA job periodically that takes the BAK from database A and restores it over database B (using the T-SQL RESTORE DATABASE procedure), but I need to know the exact name of the .BAK file; i.e. I need to know the yyyymmddhhmm value at the end of that file.

I need to back up about 50 databases that are currently sitting on MARS. Every saturday they will be backuped so that they can be moved to HOMER
Pls help as I don't know where to start

Hi
I want to change the default backup location of MSSQL. I know we can configure it while installing. But I want to change the default backup location of a particular database, running on a database server.
The default location is like.
Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMssqlBackup
Thanks in advance,
Prasanna.
SQL Server service accounts; the default (and recommended) service account is NT ServiceMSSQLServer virtual service account - which is shown as MSSQLSERVER locally - if you want to assign permissions to a local location. Fine, that's OK, works.
For network resources, as far as I understand it (or think I do, anyway), a virtual service on a box is made visible to the network using the <Domain><Computer>$ credential. Eg for box Bimble on Domain Wimble - if I want to give access to a directory on backupServer1, I simply assign rights to WimbleBimble$ and SQL Server should get those rights.
This, or so I thought, should allow SQL Server access to that location. The thing is, when trying to access that location, it's throwing an access denied error. But it works fine with LocalSystem.
Do I need to do some additional configuration to allow the Virtual Service account to be shown via <Domain><Computer>$ ?
When attempting to backup a database using Management Studio, I receive a ""Cannot verify the esistence of the backup file location. Do you want to use the backup file location anyway?" yes/no messsage afer entering a file directory which exists. When entering a new directory, when I select "yes," a file locaiton will not be created, however, the backup operation continues to success. Originally, I had configured the sql services to execute under a user account with domain admin and administrative privledges, and I vverified the folder's security config permited write access. I reinstalled and now al SQL services are executing as "Local System" (or "Network Service") with same problem.
Any recommendations as to how to correct what I am doing wrong? (Thanks).
Jamie

I am currently using the BACKUP DATABASE method to backup my database.Everything works fine, except for users. I created various users withsp_addlogin to access this database and they are located in the xloginstable. The problem is for example, if I backup, remove some users anddo a restore, i won't have them back because i just backup thedatabase.So the question is, how can I backup specific users and restore them ?Do I have to do it manually ? It seems I can't alter the xlogin tableso I'm pretty confused.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have a existing backup, re-index job that runs at night on anexisting database that is now accessed by web users 24/7.Problem is that one of the steps is to kill all users before backupstarts so it kills any transactions that are happening at that timequestion is...

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've had issues where backup up and restoring data from sqlserver2005 does not reattach the data to the correct users. Any tips on how to best accomplish full database moves where data is owned by different security users?
thanks,
Anybody figure a way around this:
In a development server you take a backup and you want to move the entire database to a production server. The production server does not contain the database, users, or logins in master.
When you restore the backup to production in 7.0, the users get moved to DBO because the logins do not exist and then you cannot delete them.
We are having to drop the users from the database on development, back up the database and restore it to production, then recreate the users on production.
This is bogus and did not happen in 6.5 because of the aliases.
Anybody come up with a better way?
We have an existing SSRS server, and have just created a new child domain. We'll be migrating users from the parent to the child, and want to add the users of that new domain with access to SSRS. In the parent domain they are able to access, but after migration with the child domain account, they cannot.
I have added the group CHILDDomain Users with a system user role on SSRS, and PARENTDomain Users was already there.
Is there any additional step I should/could take to get this active?
I have had this issue just pop up. I have local users who can connect fine, but my users that require connection by VPN cannot connect. I get the server not available or access denied error. I did confirm that the VPN'ers are connected to the network correctly and can see that their shares and mappings are correct. Any ideas? Thanking you all in advance!!

at the meantime, i've a search-page where i can fill a form to search users. in the dropdown to select the country i included an option which is called "all countries".
now the problem is: how can i make a stored procedure that makes a restriction to the fk_country depending on the submitted fk_country parameter?it should be something like
SELECT * FROM webusers(if @fk_country > 0, which is the value for "all countries"){ WHERE fk_country = @fk_country}
who has an idea how to solve this problem?

I am trying to restore from a backup of an individual filegroup in SQL Server 7.0. I have backed up the individual filegroups, and I want to restore one of them (not the whole database). The process in EM is almost the same as restoring the entire database, only you choose the radio button 'Filegroups' and the files/filegroups you want to restore.
The restoration appears to complete sucessfully, but afterward, my database seems to be permanently loading. In other words, in EM the database is greyed out and you cannot use it anymore. It stays like this until you drop the database altogether. Is this a bug? Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone have experience restoring from filegroups sucessfully???
What is the best strategy for backing up individual tables in a database, not the whole database? Thank you for your help.
Best Regards,

I am recieving complete row in one single column and I have pipe delimeter in this row . I want to retrieve the data in individual columns...Currently row is in one column

Here's my two tables:
tblClients
--------------------------------------------------
ClientID (varchar(3)) | ClientName (varchar(100))
--------------------------------------------------
001 | First
002 | Second
tblProjects
---------------------------------------------------
ProjectID (varchar(6)) | ProjectName (varchar(100))
---------------------------------------------------
001001 | First Project1
001002 | First Project2
002001 | Second Project1
002002 | Second Project2
As you can see, the ClientID is the first 3 digits of the ProjectID, signifying that a certain project belongs to that client. I know it's a bad design, but I can't change the DB, I have to use it.
The problem is that I need to join the two tables based on the ClientID, but I don't know how to just retrieve the first 3 numbers in the ProjectID.
I need something like:
tblClients INNER JOIN tblProjects ON
tblClients.ClientID = tblProjects.First3DigitsOfTheProjectID
Hi,
In previous versions of SQL Server you were able to execute single steps within a DTS package. It doesn't seemt to be possible in visual studio. Does anybody know otherwise?
Thanks
Suppose my database has 3 table A though C and I need to get the number of records in each. I could do it as individual selects like
SELECT 'A' AS 'Table', COUNT(*) AS 'Count' FROM A
SELECT 'B' AS 'Table', COUNT(*) AS 'Count' FROM B
SELECT 'C' AS 'Table', COUNT(*) AS 'Count' FROM C
or
SELECT 'A' AS 'Table', COUNT(*) AS 'Count' FROM A
UNION
SELECT 'B' AS 'Table', COUNT(*) AS 'Count' FROM B
UNION
SELECT 'C' AS 'Table', COUNT(*) AS 'Count' FROM C
Is there any problem in unioning statements like these? In reality there were over a hundred tables and the TSQL was generated by looping through SYSOBJECTS. I eventually used the first construct as the XML was simpler to generate.
Hi Team,
In SQL Enterprise Manager, when we expand "Database -->Users", we see the
users there. When we expand "Security --> logins" we see the same users there.
Can you differentiate these two.
Thanks

In Pablo Castro webcast, First Look at ADO.NET 2.0, he mentions the use of UpdateBatchSize which I think would be handy.However, I was not able to get it to work.
Dim t As New Global.System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter("Select * from Table_1", Global.System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ConnectionString1").ConnectionString)Dim d As New Global.System.Data.DataTablet.FillSchema(d, SchemaType.Source)Dim cb As New Global.System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommandBuilder(t)For c As Int32 = 1 To 10000Dim r As Global.System.Data.DataRow = d.NewRowr("id") = Global.System.Guid.NewGuidr("val") = CType(Rnd(), Int32)d.Rows.Add(r)Nextt.UpdateBatchSize = 100t.Update(d)d.Dispose()t.Dispose()
What ends up showing in Sql Server Profiler (Sql Server 2005) is each Insert being executed in it's own statement:exec sp_executesql N'INSERT INTO [Table_1] ([id], [val]) VALUES (@p1, @p2)',N'@p1 uniqueidentifier,@p2 int',@p1='3793CB5E-3B7A-45E7-9A53-0BD528BB6B07',@p2=1
I think I made this example very simple and yet can't fathom why it won't batch the statements.
I'm somewhat aware of SqlBulkCopy and was very pleased with that speed, but don't think it would handle the Update,Delete,Insert that the SqlDataAdapter.Update would.
Originally started using xsd DataSets until I saw the data tutorials in the Learning section here in which case I copied out the autogenerated TableAdapter classes and fuddling with them to do what I want since batching was not something I saw in TableAdapters.
Does anyone see what I'm missing here?Nathan
