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?
Does anyone know how to do this? I am in the middle of writing a server side program, and this is one thing that I cannot do without.
Also, if anyone can answer that, how do I do the same with an Exchange 5.5 Email account?
Thanks ahead of time!

I must developp a WPF Application with online and offline capabilities! First I think to use XML file on the local application and transfer these XML files to a webservice that will synchronize them with the SQL 2005 Server
BUT
I read about "Replication"... and I think it will be much simpler to implement!!!
Do you think it is a good idea to have a "local" SQL Express database and replicate it (when connection available is) with the principal database that will run a standard SQL 2005 version!
Do you have another suggestion to make such an application??
Thanks for help!!!

PS: when the sql express solution a good idea is, does it give a simple solution to programm an automatic synchronization every hour?
How can I connect database automatically when SQL server gets restarted while VC application execution. Any suggestions....

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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello ,
I get this error (connection closed) in web applications, whenever SQL Server database Service is restarted. When I run the application again, the error disappears. Granted that there are lots of users and Database gets restarted every night is not helping.
Is there any setting in the JDBC driver properties, where I can tell it to open a closed connection (like a retry count), rather than fail the first time and work the second time.
We use
1. SQL SERVER 2005 SP2,
2. Websphere Protal Server 5.1
3. SQL SERVER 2005 JDBC driver 1.1(com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerConnectionPoolDataSource.)
I am wondering if connection pool driver is causing this problem. I do not care about connection pooling, but Websphere doen not seem to like any other JDBC Driver. I don't mind switching to another driver as the last option.
Error is :

We have SQL cluster installed on top of windows cluster on VM environment. Node1 and Node2 under Windows Failover Cluster. SQL instance is currently on node2 the instance is up and running, but SQL Cluster service remains online pending and it restarts the instance on every 5 minutes.
SQL Browser service are running successfully.TCP/IP ports are enabled and configured.If we start the SQL server agent it is on for seconds and stopped immediately  .Cluster Service is attempt to connect to the SQL service every few minutes (setting in SQL cluster resource) for the IsAlive check, if this fails then the SQL resource is restarted even if the instance was online. Hope this is what happening exactly.

Hi,
The other day we tried online re-indexing feature of SQL 2005 and it€™s performing faster than offline re-indexing. Could you please validate if it€™s supposed to do be this way? I always thought offline should be faster than online.

I have about 50 databases that are only accessed once a month and on a predictable schedule. Would it free up resources on the server if they were kept offline and brought online only when needed ?
View 8 Replies View RelatedHi All,
There is this SQL Server agent job that was calling a SSIS package (uses windows authentication) which was executing fine till the default database for the user was brought ofline, and now the job fails citing authentication failure for the user as the reason.
I have tried pointing master as the Default database for the user and now able to connect to SSMS using the users authentication, but the SQL Agent job wont succeed.
Any pointers ?

My small business has about 21GIGs of data in our database. This entire week we've been running absolutely slow. Posting transactions have been taking up to 30+ seconds when they're normally instant.
We ran the profiler and found that certain stored procedures were taking an absolutely long time to run. We checked for fragmentation, indexing, etc. Keep in mind our hardware was constantly pegged at 80%+ all the time. We have about 60 users connected to our server at any given time.
After much effort to no avail, we finally resorted to just restarting the software. Some have even suggested powering down and rebooting our hardware, but I halted that. We stopped and restarted the server via the management studio and now everything is just peachy. We're funning super fast and smooth.
My concern is that we're just bandaid-ing the problem and not resolving it; so eventually we're going to be faced with this problem again. Even though restarting the server is quite easy and not too effective on our downtime, personally, I'd like to know what the real issue is. Isn't sql server 2005 a self-tuning software to begin with?
Has anyone experienced this and share some insights on what they did and didn't do to resolve this quirk?
I'm not experienced with SQL Server 2005.I've got a live copy of my database running on the web server.I've got another copy running on my desktop that I make changes to.Whats the best way to sync between the two so:1. I don't have to take the application offline2. I don't loose any data from the live database3. But I can implement changes to tables and/or add new tables
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All, first post.
I have done a bit of searching around and cant find a clear answer to this question.
Current Setup
Desktop application (c#) that connects to a SQL Server 2005 express database on the same local network as the application (currently 3 users)
It is only a very small company and has just taken on their first remote worker, but expects to take on another 6-8 over the next few months. They have asked for the database to be moved online.
The application was written in such a way that everything has been done using no stored procs, or views, it is all native SQL.
This will be my first DB hosted online and before I go ahead and do anything I just wanted to make sure what I have to do is correct, sorry if this is a very basic question, although I have been programming for a long time, I have never had the chance to do any online databases before.
Will this work.
1.Find a SQL Server 2005 Hosting company.
2.Move the database to the server.
3.Setup the users permissions.
3.Alter the connection string in the application to point to the new location.
So the only thing that would change would be a new connection string in the application preferences?
Or am I living in a dream world, because nothing is ever that simple.
One thing I am worried about is the security/visiblity of the database and data as it travels from the server to the client and back.
Thanks for any advise you can give.

New to Database Mirroring and I have a question about the Principal database server. I have a Database Mirroring setup configured for High-safety with automatic fail over mode using a witness.
When a fail over occurs because of a lost of communication between the principal and mirror, the mirror server takes on the roll of Principal. When communication is returned to the Principal server, at some point does the database that was the previous Principal database automatically go back to being the Principal server?
SQL server, by-mistake I updated values of a column in a database hosted online, is there any way undo the transaction. I didn't created any backup of the database. I read that still it can be recovered through the .ldf (log file) but unable to access it. Is there anyway to get access of the Log file or is there any way to recover the data.

I have a customer who's database was marked Suspect due to a drive failure that left a torn page. Before trying to reset the Suspect flag they took the database offline, and now we cannot get the database back online. Any ideas?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi 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.
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!
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,

I need to back up a production database on one server and then copy it to a test server wherel it will be restored. The problem is that I don't know where to move the file to on the production server before I restore it. Is there a special folder I need to copy the file to? I see a folder named ProgramFilesMicrosoft SQL Server but beyond that I have no idea where to copy the file so that it can be restored?
Can someone help me out please?

I try to restore a database but it pop error said "the database is in use". So, I try to take the database offline so that I can store the database. But it takes me forever (1 hour till now). It is still showing "1 remaining". Do you have any idea why ? Thank you very much in advance!
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
