I have successfully restored my old MSSQL7.0 database from a computer that crashed - but the database is several months old. I do, however, have the most recent log files (*.ldf) - the actual log file and NOT a backup log file. Is there any way i can update my restored databse with the most recent .ldf files?
View 1 Replies1st question I have to ask is:
Is Emergency Mode the same as Bypass Recovery Mode?
2nd:
I have a SQL2005 Database that was suspect this morning. I put the database in Emergency Mode: alter database {dbname} set emergency.
I did a dbcc checkdb on the database and found some corrupt indexes. I attempted to do a dbreindex on the table and got the error:
Could not run BEGIN TRANSACTION in database '{dbname}' because the database is in bypass recovery mode.
How can I put the database in single_user mode and to a point where I can reindex the 1 table that is causing the problems. I would even be willing to drop the indexes and re-create.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Customer site has detached their database and deleted the .ldf file and reattached because they want to decrease the log file size. They set their log size to restricted file growth and 5mb. After about 20 minutes they started getting "Transaction log is full" so I had them up the transaction log to 50mb. After about another 20 mins everyone on the network started getting errors saying that data cannot be added because the PRIMARY file group was full ("Could not allocate space for object TrussLumber in Database ATP because the primary file group is full").
There is plenty of disk space so I know thats not the problem. And they can add data to other databases, so I cant imagine what could possibly be causing this....Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!

The server is not being backed up and a user deleted an important folder, that a process depends on. The folder was too large to fit on the recycle bin and therefore was deleted.
Anyone happen to know a good third party tool that performs data recovery and is RAID compatible?
Thanks,

Hi,
Server drives become faulty and after the recovery of the server the SQL server installation was gone from the system drive. Residing on a different drive, the mdf and ldf files of a database were saved. Unfortunately, when trying to attach the files to a new SQL server installation there is a message 'I/O error (torn page) detected during read at offset 0000000000000000 in file E:SQLServer2KMSSQLDatadb.mdf'.
The available backup files are not restorable returning 'An internal consistency error' upon restoring. So, the hope is with the mdf and ldf files. Does anyone have any idea what can be done specifically with the mdf/ldf files? Any recovery software to be recommended?
Thanks!

hi
i was deleted a record from my database, but i want to recover my deleted record via log file, how to do ?
thanks
I have a SQL Server (Express) database that I use in a Visual Studio (Visual Basic) 2005 application.
The application is of the Decision Support type, that routine deletes the contents of some of the database tables and then re-populates them with new data. There is no reason for keeping the "old" contents and no reason to restore the old content.
(It does this using "BULK INSERT" statements, as in:
"BULK INSERT SharePrices FROM "C:SharePrice.txt")
Because of all the data replacing, the log file gets huge quickly. I don't need the log file at all.
(I suspect that the logging is also taking up time unncessarily.)
Is there any way I can set the database not to have a log file at all, or to have a small log file?
(I've tried deleting the log file from SQL Server Management SQL Express, but get a message that there has to be a log file.)
When I restrict the log file size, my application returns error messages that the log file is too small, and the application can't do what it needs to do.
I have already made sure that in the database that the recovery mode is set to "Simple" and that "AutoShrink" is set to true.
I've tried manual "Shrinks". These work. However, as soon as the application accesses the database, the log file gets huge again.
I realise I may have to do (unnecessary) backups before/after my bulk insert statements. If so, I'd appreciate some help on how to do this from within a Visual Basic 2005 application. (I'm actually using the Data Access block from the Enterprise Library for my data access.)
I'd really appreciate your help.
Kind regards

I have a warm standby (secondary server) receiving log shipping files.
The database has 5 files all in the primary filegroup. Two of the files need to be moved from one hard drive to another. Whats the best way / process to accomplish the move and re-establish the log shipping recovery status?

We are doing restoring in a different data center and keep sending log backups and restore from there.Recently we want to bring a new volume to the sql server and move all databases to the new volume, then the problem comes, I did a test that I cannot simply change the drive letter, i.e. old disk letter x, new disk letter y, then I turn off all sql instances and move all databases(restoring status) to disk y, then get rid off disk x, resign x to disk y, so now new disk has old letter x now. then I continue the restore log against latest log backup, it returns the error.
Msg 3446, Level 16, State 2, Line 4
Primary log file is not available for database 'TestDB' (7:0). The log cannot be backed up.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
Is there a way to do this? or SQL Server doesn't support this change.

Log shipping was configured 6 months back. A Transaction log file got corrupted today. How to resolve this?
View 20 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem restoring to a new or different database than the backup file being restored was created from.

Hello,
I have a question regarding the backup for the database in Simple Recovery Model.
In this Model, I know we can restore only to the last full backup or can use differential
Backup, if implemented as a part of backup.
But my point of confusion is about the backup of '.ldf' file, should those file should be backed up in the
Maintenance Plan, if yes does it help in reducing the size of Log file?
Do we need the backup of '.ldf' in phase of Restoring?
As I mention my database has Simple Recovery Model, but the size of log file is around 20GB,
Could not understand why as in this Model, normally it automatically truncate the Log file?
Help me to clear my these doubts,
thanks,
I was looking to change the file growth setting in our AlwaysOn environment databases.We have a single availability group, one primary and one secondary replica. I learned that when changing the file growth setting on the primary databases (data file), the change flows though to the database on the secondary replica.However after doing the same with the log files, the file growth setting changed on the primary but the change did NOT propagate to the secondary.
Is the solution to apply the change directly to the secondary?here's the T-SQL code I used:
ALTER DATABASE myDB
MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N'myDB_log', FILEGROWTH = 512MB );
GO
SQL Server 2012 (11.0.5532)
Have a database that's in "Simple" recovery mode whose .ldf has grown to 270GB. This database is a data warehouse so "full" is not required. I put it in simple mode a month ago and shrunk the log down and now it's filled up the disk.
What steps can I take to mitigate this in future? I've read that this is caused by long running transactions which fill the log for DR purposes. Should I put the database back into full mode and backup/truncate daily.
The auto-growth is set to 128MB which is very low.
My understanding is that the log file is not supposed to grow if the database is under simple recovery mode.I am in a situation where the log grows if do any inserts that involve millions of rows.How do i make sure that it does not grow?
View 11 Replies View RelatedOne of our database is in simple recovery model, and usually generating more than 220 GB log file (.ldf) every week. We are shrinking log file many times to release the space.
But as its not advisable I am looking for any other options. I suggested to change the recovery model to Full and start T-log backup, but client dont want to change recovery model.
Is there any way to manage Log file of Simple recovery model to maintain disk space?
Will full backup truncate log file ?
Is it alright to move the .bak and .trn backups which are automatically created in a File Share Witness when a DB is added to an Availability Group? I did that and there were error IDs 1069 occurring, and the AG was unable to be brought up whenever I run a load intensive batch job ...

I am using SQL server 2012 with Always On High Availability feature. I am not able to set the recovery mode from Full to Simple as it gives me message that mirroring is running on both server.
In my case to reduce the log file what I need to do.
Came across this scenario in AlwaysOn Availability Group (two node), file share witness times out and RHS terminate and cause the cluster node to reboot. File share witness is for continuous failover and if the resource is unavailable my expectation was that it should go offline and should not impact Server or Sql Server. But its rebooting the cluster node to rectify the issue.

Sql Server 2012 SP2

A component on the server did not respond in a timely fashion. This caused the cluster resource 'File Share Witness' (resource type 'File Share Witness', DLL 'clusres2.dll') to exceed its time-out threshold. As part of cluster health detection, recovery actions will be taken. The cluster will try to automatically recover by terminating and restarting the Resource Hosting Subsystem (RHS) process that is running this resource. Verify that the underlying infrastructure (such as storage, networking, or services) that are associated with the resource are functioning correctly.
The cluster Resource Hosting Subsystem (RHS) process was terminated and will be restarted. This is typically associated with cluster health detection and recovery of a resource. Refer to the System event log to determine which resource and resource DLL is causing the issue.

Hi all,
My window xp pro suddenly cannot reboot any more.
luckily, I can get into safe mode with command prompt.
So before doing any repair or even reinstallation of the op.
I need to back up my database using transact-sql in order to restore later on completely if have to reinstall my OP system.
I have MSDE installed on my computer. so osql.exe is available
for me to back up the database. I did before with the backup command, but it's a while ago. since this time the backup is so precious to me. I want you guys to back me up.
I will go to osql dir in C:program filesmicrosoft SQL server...
then issue:
backup database CMCTIS to disk='D:sqlbackupcmcbackup.dat'
CMCTIS is the database name and d:sqlbackupcmcbackup.dat is the file I want to use later on
to restore. Since if I will probably do repair or reinstallation, the information on C: will be wiped out or damaged. that's why I will use D: drive for the backup.
Please confirm.
So later on I can restore database completely including data and store procedures, database changes, right?
I have several databases and two server instances. I have to back up database one by one right?
Please reply at your earliest convenience. Otherwise I will lose all three month database work.

I have tried to attach the mdf but SQL says it's not a valid sql database file. I have also created a new database of the same name , stopped sql, copied over the original files and re-started sql . SQL ( 2000) then marks the datbase as suspect.
Does anyone have a possible

I don't know why the last topic is locked, but here is the situation more detailed.
I know that the group by is the answer for my last question.
But the situation is sadly not this easy:

The first column is called donortype. That's what we have to use.

We have the DonorID and the ContributionAmount here.
We also have a Donor table:

3 Marlo I 55
4 Mervis F 60
5 Orange Computers C 50

7 Keltron, Inc. C 85
7 rows selected.
The third column is DonorType as well.
What I have to create is something like this
DonorType ContributionAmount
I 100
F 300
C 250
Where the 100 is the sum of ContributionAmounts performed by DonorID-s which have a DonorType I
and 300 is the sum of ContributionAmounts performed by DonorID-s which have a DonorType F
and so on...
(the numbers are made up, they are probably not correct...)
My idea was that let's create a view with DonorID and sum(ContributionAmount) grouped by DonorID.
Than join this view with the DonorType table, and create a view which contains DonorId, DonorType and sum(ContributionAmount) from the first view.
And what now?! HOw do you group this by DonorType?

We have a valid full backup of a database. We know it is valid, we have restored it twice from the network with no problems, but we do not have access to the network location from our sandbox environment.
The .bak file is sizable at about 9GB. The .bak file resides on our internal network, in a SAN drive. No problems there. When we copy the file from there into a sandbox environment to attempt the restore in the sandbox environment it gets corrupted. We've tried three different times and all three different times it gets corrupted. First time we copied the file over to the sandbox the restore went up to 50% and failed. The second time we copied the file again and attempted the restore again it failed at 70%.
The third time it failed at 60%. The error message we get during the restore is "...Read on ... failed: 13(The data is invalid) Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Restore database is terminating abnormally."
Now some background here. To move the file our network team is doing this: they have this .vmdk file that they mount out in our production environment (which has access to the network location where the .bak file is), copy the file into the drive, then move the .vmdk file into the sandbox environment(which does not have access to the network location), mount the drive in the sandbox environment, and then I have access to the .bak file from within the sandbox environment.
Something in the process of using the .vmdk file to move the .bak file from production into the sandbox is causing the file to get corrupted.
I need to copy a just-created bak file to another drive after the backup task has completed. I don't see anything in the job toolbox which works with file system operations like this. But still it must be a common need..There are ways to script this or use third part tools but I am looking for something native to the sql server 2012 SSMS toolset, if possible.
An alternate approach would be to run the backup job again, after the main backup, and change the destination to the alternate location. But I was thinking that another backup job would probably invoke more overhead on the server than a simple file copy operation. If I do end up taking this approach I could also use the cleanup task to toss older bak files in the alt dir.
I am trying to replicate between two servers. I am pushing a subscription to the other server. Of course this has to write to a file on the Servers hard drive before the actual replication. (It's actually trying to write a shared drive on the server) I have checked the permissions all day and I keep getting the same thing; 'The process could not create file [path to file] the network name cannot be found' What should I check? I have checked the permissions on the drive all the way down to the folder and It hasnt helped. I have checked the host files to make sure the ip address is correct in the file. I dont understand the network name error because it's trying to write to itself. Is there anyone out there that can help me???? PLEASE????
