Duplicate Database Files
Feb 26, 2001
Hi,
I've got a database called Webmine which is running with multi users.
I want to duplicate it to generate archive.
My problem is that I can't duplicate the MDF file (and the ldf file optionally) without detach the webmine db and reattach after the duplication.
Detach this database is a problem durring this processing of duplication because we can have users always working on Webmine.
Is there a way to proceed without detach Webmine ? Or perhaps it's stupid or dangerous to duplicate a DB if users are always working (that's my position but here, everybody does not agree with this position so can anybody certify
I've got or not reason ?
Thanks to your answers
Best regards
Axel

hi all,
How do i avoid duplicate records on my database? i have 4 textboxes that collect user information and this information is saved in the database. when a user fills the textboxes and clicks the submit button, i want to check through the database if the exact records exist in the database before the data is saved. if the user is registered on the database, he wont be allowed to login. how can i acheive this?
i thought of using the comparevalidator but i'm not sure how to proceed.
thanks

Instead of me testing my scripts on my main commerce database I was wondering if there was an easy way to duplicate my most currnet database as another database...
that way if I screw up I can just delete it and try again
I looked at the restore as in enterpirse manager, but I don't think thats it

I have built a template database which I'm finally pleased with, however I want to periodically duplicate the design - not data into a new database. How can I duplicate a database? I was hoping to right mouse, copy, then right mouse, paste, and then be prompted for the new name but no such luck.

i have duplicate records, but they have unique ids.
the duplicates resulted as a result of using a view to enter the data using BCP to load data from text file that had many dulicate records as part of consolidting the data i would like to get rid of the duplicate
is there some way of checking if the Name, Address, Telephone and Image are the same as on a record with another then remove them.
the table has the following colunms:
ID, Name, Address, Telephone, Image
1, adam, 45 tree gate road, 00000 000000, adam.jpg
2, uno, 44 garstang road, 00001 000001, uno.jpg
3, adam, 45 tree gate road, 00000 000000, adam.jpg
4, brian, belgarth house, 00022 000022, adam.jpg
5, karen, 3 chester close, 00002 000002, adam.jpg
6, uno, 44 garstang road, 00001 000001, uno.jpg
7, adam, 45 tree gate road, 00000 000000, adam.jpg
from the sample data you can see that there are multiple records is there a way of clensing the data using a sql command?
is there any issues such as performance on clensing it etc?
are there any strategies that should be implemented at the data tier so as to prevent duplication of data?

Hi folksI know just enough about MS-SQL to be dangerous, so feel free to warnme off this it's too much for a non-expert.We are using SQL 2000 as the back-end for website. We would like tocreate a duplicate of the database (on the same server). Then we'd usethem like this:Database A: read-write DB accessed by web administratorDatabase B: read-only 'live' DB accessed by the web serverThe smarts: setting up a way to maintain Database A, have it beaccessible internally (maybe different IP, maybe different port) andwhen a change is approved, have that change replicate to Database B tobe visible on the website.I'm wondering if it's something I can do myself with the rightreading, or I'm going to have to hire some SQL know-how to help meout.Dave

Hello Everyone:
I am using the Import/Export wizard to import data from an ODBC data source. This can only be done from a query to specify the data to transfer.
When I try to create the tables, for the query, I am getting the following error:
Msg 2714, Level 16, State 4, Line 12
There is already an object named 'UserID' in the database.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 12
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
I have duplicated this error with the following script:
USE [testing]
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users1]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users2]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users3]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
I have searched the "2714 duplicate error msg," but have found references to duplicate table names, rather than multiple field names or column name duplicate errors, within a database.
I think that the schema is only allowing a single UserID primary key.
How do I fix this?
TIA

Hi all.. I've been scouring the forums for about 6 hours to no
avail. This is a really simple question. I'm trying to have
a registration page that lets the user input name, email, desired
username, and password. I want to check the username and email
fields to make sure ppl cannot sign up twice. So from what I've
gathered I have a couple of options:
1) i can set up a unique constraint on the database columns,
2) i can run a select statement before inserting,
3) i can store the whole database column in a variable then search through it.
My question is how to do option 2? All of my transactions are through a sqldatasource object in c#.

Our programs have and would like to continue keep the same data in multiple database. Example phone numbers. Us DBAs are tring to convince them not to.

Hi all,
I want to transfer a database from one MS SQL Server 7.0 to another.
When I create a new database (SQL Server 7.0) and then try to load a backup, I always end up with a message that the backup database is not identical with the destination database. That is correct and I know it, so what!? Is there any other possibility to transfer a database other than Export/Import. Using this method took me about 48 hours for 6 GByte database!
All suggestions are welcome
Thank you
Karsten

Hi all,
I downloaded and ran AdventureWorks.msi into my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) one year ago.But I did not know how to attach it to my SSMSE then. Last week, I deleted it from the "Add or Remove" of Control Panel and I downloaded the new AdventureWork.msi and installed it my SSMSE. Today, I tried to use the Database Explorer of VB 2005 Express for the first Stored Procedure programming. I clicked on AdventureWorks.mdf and I got the following error: One or more files do not match the primary of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupt and should be restored from a backup. Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'CENADe1enxshc'. Log file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataAdventureWorks_Data_log.ldf' does not match the primary file. It may be from a different database of the log may have been rebuilt previously. Please help and advise me how to correct this problem.
Thanks,
Scott Chang

Hi all (newbie @ asp.net)(oldie @ ASP 3)What is the purpose of using an attached MDF database files in the App_Data folder on a web site as to importing it into the SQL server directly or creating it on the SQL server. Does a mdf database attached file purely use the SQL server as a connection interface.Is it something similiar to DSN(ODBC) Connections for ms access databases.

I have a form view that I am using to insert new data into a sql express database and would like to find a way to avoid attempting to insert a record if the key already exists. is there a way to do this with the formview insert command. Everything works great until I try to add a record with an already existing value in the unique key field, then it breaks.

I have a client that has POS software called Restaurant Pro Express (RPE) from [URL] ...
Their old POS computer had a hardware failure, but I was able to attach the hard-drive to another computer and recover the data. RPE uses a MSSQL database system. However, my client doesn't seem to make backups very often
- the last one is dated January 5, 2015. I was able to copy the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server folder over which contained the instance as well as all the data files - and has up-to-date information. The instance in the recovered Microsoft SQL Server folder was called MSSQL.1. I installed the RPE software on their new computer, and it too now has an instance called MSSQL10_50.PCAMERICA. The new computer is using MSSQL 2008 R2, while I believe the old computer would have been using MSSQL 2005.
I am no DBA expert, especially when it comes to MSSQL. Is is possible to 'restore' the database from the 'raw' .mdf and .ldf files of the old computer to the new computer / database instance? If so, how should I proceed?

Hi, I'm relatively new to SQL and ASP.NET and I'm after some assistance to what I hope is an easily achievable goal.
I need to upload some files (.pdf, .doc, .jpg - whatever) to a directory on my webserver. Once this has been done, I'd like to write some data to an SQL Database Table that will contain information about these files in a datagrid (or something similar) along with a link to download them.
E.g I upload car.jpg which is located at /images/secure/car.jpg and is a photo of car. When a user logs in, they will be shown a datagrid which pulls information from said SQL database and in this datagrid will be something like:
Filename Description Link
car.jpg A pic of a car Download
If anyone is able to help me out with regards to linking to a file from an SQL dB it would be greatly appreciated, and if you require any further information just let me know :)
Ben.

Hi all,
Can someone please brief me on how to save 'pdf' files(there are about 15 files) into a SQL database and retrieve/open it from a datagrid?
I have about 15 pdf files on my webserver and need to save it in the SQL database, so every pdf file saved in the database will have a primary key and the file will be saved either as 'ntext' or 'binary' type...I just have this rough idea.
If someone has a ready code in VB.net then nothing better( i know thats a shortcut :) but it will help me like a tutorial. C# code will do too, I can then convert the code to Vb.net
Thanks a ton.

I was following an example from the book "ASP.net unleashed" in Chapter 14, where it describes how to upload a file directly into the database.
I got it to insert the file into my database as described, and with changes created a master and detail form to select the file and display it.. (which I assume had worked).
Except, when attempting to access the file it gives two different errors. For a ppt file it gives:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'http://localhost:3870/SeminarOrganiser/view_file...
and for a simple txt file:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'http://localhost:3870/SeminarOrganiser/view_file.aspx?...SELECT suggestEvent.suggestID, suggestEvent.uID, users.uFirstName, users.uLastName, users.uEmail, suggestEvent.suggestTitle,...From these two errors, I cannot really make sense of what has gone wrong or even why XML has even been mentioned. Looking around on the net has not allowed me any further progress.In any case, would anyone be able to explain to me what might have gone wrong?Alternatively, any links that may help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you very much in advance.
