We moved a 2000 database to another platform by restoring the database. It took a lot longer than I expected. Would it take less time to restore it a second time to the same target database since the allocations are already there?
Thanks
The following code is taking longer and longer to run. I am not talking about the gradualy increase in size. this job has been taking 30-40 mins normaly and in the last few days it has gone 1hr to 2 hr to 3 hr... ANy ideas why this is happening? I can not see and other jobs running at this time.
declare @filename varchar(255)
set @filename =

Hello All,
I have SQL Server 2005 installed on my machine and I am firing following query to insert 1500 records into a simple table having just on column.
Declare @i int
Set @i=0
While (@i<1500)
Begin
Insert into test2 values (@i)
Set @i=@i+1
End
Here goes the table definition,
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[test2](
[int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
Now the problem with this is that on one of my server this query is taking just 500ms to run while on my production and other test server this query is taking more than 25 seconds.
Same is the problem with updates. I have checked the configurations of both the servers and found them to be the same. Also there are no indexes defined on either of the tables. I was wondering what can be the possible reason for this to happen. If any of u people has any pointers regarding this, will be really useful
Thanks in advance,
Mitesh
Has anybody come across situations where queries take longer to execute the second time? The server is a dedicated sql server box with 1gb memory.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,
We have a database with 20 gig and with huge transactions. The transaction log backup is scheduled every one hour
from 3.00 AM to 9.00 PM.
We take a full backup in the disk at 9.00 PM and again a full backup in the tape at 2.00 AM
It works fine in the day from 6.00 AM and complete within seconds and the size is approx. 50 to 200 MB.
But the very first transaction log backup at 3.00 AM is running like 3 hrs and the size is approx. 11 gig whick is almost equivalent to the Full backup size. There are some dts packages that are running in the night and as usual reindex, intergrity checks are running and there no large user traffic during night. But I have no idea which the very first transaction log backup in the morning takes longer time and has this bug size. Is there any work around to fix this proble.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Anu
Hi,
I have a package designed as bring data tables over to SQL Server. There are 9 data flow tasks that runs parallel, to bring 9 datatables over. In BIDS, when I execute the package, it runs like 8 minutes. Or if I start the scheduled job manually, it runs around 8 minutes too. But it runs about 30 minutes at the scheduled time at midnight.
I wonder what I can do to speed up the scheduled job.
Thanks
We are importing xer formats through the wizard to sqlserver database and It takes upto 35-45 mins for each import (single project), any option to reduce the time.Is they any other import options - which can give us faster results.

Is there a way ( using an included SSIS task rather than coding a script task) to detect whether a package has run longer than a specified period of time?
So I can send an email to operators notifying them that a job is taking longer than usual.
Thanks
Hi we have a table with about 400000 records in it. It starting to take longer and longer to add a new record. I was thinking of creating another identical table and archiving off most of the records every month (we are now adding about about 4000 records a day) . Is this the best thing to do?
I don't know a lot about sql server so any help or suggestions would be great
We are running a SQL Server 2008R2 64-bit database system on a Windows 2012 R2 64-bit Standard system. I have noticed in recent weeks that our differential backups periodically are taking longer than expected to complete. The usual amount of time is about one hour, but on several occasions, it has taken upwards to five hours. The nights when the job takes longer to complete are on Friday.
I did some checking online, and one possible reason for this issue is my scheduling the reindexing of the database on the morning of the Differential backup. For example, this past Friday the reindexing occurred at 1:00 AM with the Differential running at 10:00 PM that night.The article that I read suggested the reindexing, which takes several minutes, if that, to complete, should be scheduled to run just before the Full backup job.
Why does it take longer and longer for the same code to run very simply I have 8,0000,000 records I want to delete from a table . I have tried a few options
Option 1 a while loop which deletes 10,000 rows per loop starting from the earliest until it hits the cut of number I have set. THIS TOOK 5 HOURS
Option 2 created an SP which found the oldest 100,000 records then deleted them. If I run this SP manually it takes 30 €“ 60 secs. Which I thought was much better than above. So I put this SP in a while loop to run 80 odd times thinking the time it would take would be 80 mins a huge improvement.
But every time this SP is called it takes longer and longer (36,30,32,39,37,37,123,163,155,182€¦and so on(In seconds)).
All the sp is doing is as follows(8860000 is just to insure I don€™t delete to much). this sp is then called from in a while loop.
set @recnumber = (select top 1 recnumber from
(select top 100000 recnumber from TabletodeleteFROM where recnumber < 8860000
order by recnumber asc ) TabletodeleteFROM
order recnumber desc)
delete TabletodeleteFROM where recnumber < @recnumber
please help why is it taking longer and longer
I can't "point in time restore" a test DB if I had only a Full DB Backup (with overwrite option).
Example
12:00 Fullbackup new (overwrite)
12:01 update any rows
12:02 update any rows
12:03 delete any rows
12:05 Transaction Log backup (overwrite)
RESTORE: We can't set "point in Time" to 12:01 od 12:02 ???

I do hourly transaction log backups at 9,10, 11 etc...
When I restore from a 9:00 backup I clearly see changes that I made after 9:00 am!!!
I then noticed when I go to my scheduled backups that a 10 am backup was indeed done
but in the "restore from device" tab it says the last backup was at 9 am.
Apparently it is not showing the actual latest backup that was done. This explains why
when restoring from a 9am backup I am seeing changes after 9, because in reality
I am restoring from a 10 am backup!
Is this a bug? I am running on 6.5 sp 5a.
thanks in advance....Mary
Hello,
I have lost a table's contents and need to restore them urgently. I backed up the database. I selected the backup set in order to restore it, but the "Point in time restore " was disabled and I couldn't select it to set the time to which to restore.Could anyone tell me the reason behing that?
Another interesting thing is that when I backup a database, I only have two options for backing it up,
1. database complete
2. database differential
Thanks a lot,
Joe
Is it possible to compress the data at restore time?.
Backup is coming from a not compressed database.
The backup file is compressed.
I have full Recovery mode.
I just accidently deleted a handful of records out of a table about 10 minutes ago. My last backup was last night.
Can I go back 10 minutes ago for a specific table? If so how... DO I need to backup now, then use the trans-logs to recover up to a specific point?
Thanks!!
hi all!
can you help me, in which case will i need to Specify a Point in Time, when restoring a database?
for newbee like me, it looks like it's better to restore without Specifying a Point in Time, because i will restore my data, without headache.
can you give me some sort of example when and why to specifying a point in time?
thank you 1000x in advance!
In the hereunder written message I talk about point in time restore.It is now based upon the fact that there are no hardware problems or what soever.I just would like to roll back to a situation of some time (minutes, hoursor what ever) ago.Used to the ingres database a point in time restore can take place UP toany, any, any time since the last FULL backup. (any time up to now !!!)I can't understand why a point in time restore can only be done based upontransaction log backups. The current transaction log is also available in myopinion. (Turn off the power, turn on the power and you will notice that theautomatic recovery is based upon this transaction log file; so in that casethis file is used)That's what my question is about. Is it correct that a point in time restorein a SQL server environment can only be done up to the last transaction logbackup.ByeArno de Jong,The Netherlands.

I don't see a "general discussion" thread and this is the closest i think.
I just have a general question: if my backup window is from 8am to 10am, and i do a restore within that backup window, what will happen? assuming we're talking only of a single database, ACME.
I'm comparing because with Oracle RMAN, it pukes when i do a restore while the backup is going on. it would complain of unable to find some archive logs.
How could i restore a filegroup to a certain point of time (not to apply all
transaction log up to the latest one) ??
Greetings, All -
Is it possible to restore to a point in time without a preexisting full backup? The situation is this:
I have a table in the DB from which an unknown number of records were accidentally deleted. The table in questio has about 2 million records; the user ran a query to delete all records from the table by accident, and cancelled the query after about 3 seconds.
The DB recovery mode is full, so I should be able to do a point in time restore to go back to just before the deletion, but unfortunately, the DB has never been backed up, so I have no backup to work from.
The DB has not been used since the incident, and is otherwise operational, but I need to recover these records if at all possible. All the instructions I've seen for this involve restoring from a full backup first, then restoring the log backup second. Is there any way for me to accomplish the same task?

I have a backup mainentance plan that does a full backup daily at 03:00am and then 2 minute transaction log backups throughout the day to a raided hard drive (It is set to overwrite after 2 weeks), When i go into enterprise manager and select the database to restore it just seems to take too long to read the backup history in. Can this time be reduced as i need to be able to restore the database A.S.A.P but still need a point in time restore to within 2 minutes of going down??
Thanks
Our backup system has worked ok for us to date. We can restore back to either full saves or up to a certain log (we take log backups on the hour). We've never had to, but wanted to test restoring to a point-in-time with the backup data.
What the system does is generates .mdf and .ldf files, which is essentially a full backup say in the middle of the night. It then creates .bak files for the log backups based on the backup set you want to restore.
I can detach the database and apply the .mdf and .ldf and re-attach the database, but to apply the .bak files I need to get the database into a (recovering) state. I can't seem to do that. Otherwise when I try to apply the .bak files the system says: The log or differential backup cannot be restored because no files are ready to rollforward.
How to apply a .mdf and then apply the .bak files?
Can I use a full and differential backup to restore to a point of time?
Or I have to use full and transaction log backups in order to do a point of time restore?
I found today when I tried to restore a db from another database at the point of time for example 3:10 pm,
SSMS automatically select the full backup + the transaction backup that is done at 3:00 pm, but not select full + the differential backup I did at 3:12pm.
So I lost those records entered after 3:00pm.
I supposed it should use the differential backup and restore to 3:10. but it didn't.
Database is OK. I just need to roll back all the transactions until certainpoint in time. How to do it?
