Hi, I don't have any backup file for database. But I do have *.mdf and *.ldf files on tape backup for all the databases on server. Our server has crashed and we are trying to rebuild it. Our DBA is not accessible right now.
Can please anyone help how to put sql server back with all the databases?
I will really appreciate your help...
Thanks a lot in advance..
I have a 6.5 DB in which I lost a hard drive and have to recreate the Databases. I do have the original and latest device file ***.DAT which contains all of my application Data. Is there a way I can re-create the DB and point to use this device and keep my data???
A quick response is greatly appreciated!
I am looking for some advice. On a 6.5 database a user seemed to be having slow response, someone decided to stop and start the services. The database in question went into recovery mode. 24 hours later a network tech decided to stop and start the services again because the database was in recovery still. 5 hours later they decided to run the statement to put the database in Bypass Emergency Mode - "update sysdatabase set status = -32768 where name = 'dbname'", then they decided to set the status to 0 which made the database available again.
What can I do to ensure they did not damage the database? Can I compare the backup prior to the issue with the current database?
Thanks
Bill
I have a Database in suspect state and i have changed it to emergency mode and copied all the data and i am trying to delete it or renaming it so that i can recreate the db with the old name as my aplication will be looking for that database name.
When i tried to drop the database it says its in use and cannot be dropped.
And when I tried to rename it It gives me the follwoing message.
To change the NAME, the database must be in state in which a checkpoint can be executed.
Please advise me .
Thanks.
1st 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.
Pete
I have seen this before. A 2000 restore fails, leaving the database thinking it is being restored but the restore job failed and errors when it is restarted. EM is clueless. I believe there is a proc to reset some flag. Can you share it with me???
Thanks!

Trying to keep out sysadmins & sa during/between database RESTORE
Configuration:
WINNT Server Enterprise 4.0 w/SP5
SQL Server 7 Enterprise & SP1
2 SQL Servers:
Production Server
Standby server
I Backup (full backup) databases to disk on primary server (logical backup devices are physicaly located on a Standby server (dedicated gigabit NIC in each server for this process). Transaction logs are applied to the Standby server throughout the day.
Problem:
How to keep out "sa" and sysadmins from a database while I'm restoring (or between restores) to a standby server?
The database being restored cannot be in use during a restore.
If a DBA forgets that this process is happening, the statement fails (RESTORE)for the database they happen to be in at the time of the restore.
Example restore statement:
Standby Server -
RESTORE DATABASE databasename FROM database_dd WITH DBO_ONLY, REPLACE, STANDBY = 'g:Mssql7FromPrimaryDatabaseName_undo.ldf'
I could restrict Domain sysadmin access and change sa password. I could also put the database in "Single user" mode, however this could become problem if my process disconnects and then someone else connects - then my process is locked out. What I'm really looking for is to lock out all activity for a database that is in "standby mode" except for RESTORE processes.
Any ideas??

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 just deleted a clients database by mistake ( working too many hours this weekend!). I have recovered the actual files with Ontrack file recovery software.
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:
We have a Donortype table and it looks like this:

I 125 150 200 275
3 rows selected.
The first column is called donortype. That's what we have to use.
The contribution table looks like this:

We have the DonorID and the ContributionAmount here.
We also have a Donor table:
DONORID DONORNAME D DONORPROJECTION

1 Crabtree I 50
2 Genetix C 100
3 Marlo I 55
4 Mervis F 60
5 Orange Computers C 50
6 Roper Foundation F 70
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?

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????
View 2 Replies View RelatedDear All,
We have a big concern in our Database system. We have 2000 transactions daily in our database. We need to replicate some how the database for our fail over setup. I tried transactional replication at midnight but our all systems locked and we had a lot of complaints from the customers and It was taking a lot of time to snapshot part and I had to abort it because of these reasons.
I need an advice how I can create a replication or is there any other way to replicate or is there any way to do this process without bothering the system? Please give me some advice and help..
Hi all - had a bit of a nightmare at work with order accounts application. Basically - all the orders have been set to uninvoiced and I need to set the ones which have been invoiced back to invoiced. Problem is that orders can be part invoiced.
Tables as follows:
orders
orderid PK int
invoiced int
orderline
orderid int
qty int
productid int
invoices
invoiceid PK int
orderid int
invoiceline
invoiceid int
qty int
productid int
There can be multiple invoices for each order
Question is - how can I write a query which updates the order table - set invoiced to 1 where there are the same amount of items in the order as in the related invoices?
Real emergency this one folks!
Hopefully someone can help me out!
Stephen.
I absolutely agree with you.
I managed to find the error, it was a typo.
Here is the code, if somebody is interested about it. It is oracle, not SQL server, but the idea is the same.
drop view a;
drop view b;
drop view figure5_9;
create view a
as
select d.donorID, dt.donortype, dt.donortargetq1
from donortype dt, donor d
where d.donortype=dt.donortype;
select * from a;
create view b
as
select a.donortype, sum(c.ContributionAmount) as amount
from Contribution c, a
where c.ContributionDate between '01-JAN-06' and '31-MAR-06' and a.donorID=c.donorID
group by a.donortype;
select * from b;
create view figure5_9
as
select b.donortype, a.donortargetq1, b.amount, b.amount/a.donortargetq1 as percentage
from a, b
where a.donortype=b.donortype
group by b.donortype, a.donortargetq1, b.amount;
select * from figure5_9;
Thanks for the help anyway ;-)

On our production db, the SA acct has been locked. I realize that I could enable mixed mode and then connect via an administrator -- but we are already running in mixed mode, and our BUILTINAdministrators account has sysadmin permissions turned off.
As it stands, the only user I can connect as does not have permission to modify any of the login info.
What recourse do I have at this point? Can I disable mixed-mode and re-enable it (via registry)? If so, will it reset the SA account or rebuild the BUILTINAdministrators login for me?
Or do I need to contact Microsoft, and if so is there anything they can do?
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 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").

View 2 Replies View RelatedAnybody 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?
