I would like to restore database using RESTORE DATABASE ... REPLACE command.
If database exists already and has any open connections this command will fail.
I would like to close all existing connections to specific database before running RESTORE DATABASE ... REPLACE command.
I can do closing from Management Studio using checkbox "Close Existing Connection" when deleting database. Actually I need to do the same but from script.
Please advice me how to do it.
Thanks in advance,
Roman
I want to restore a database (from an encrypted .bak file) - but *not* over the live original if you take my meaning. Encryption is the standard AES-256 that comes with Sql Server 2014 btw. I don't want the original touched/altered in any way. I would like to capture a success message if possible.I can extract the physical device name of the database in question using the following code:
SELECT physical_device_name, *
FROM msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily
WHERE media_set_id =(SELECT TOP 1 media_set_id
FROM msdb.dbo.backupset
WHERE database_name='MyDatabase'
AND type='D'
ORDER BY backup_start_date DESC)
I would like if the newly restored database was rename to something different than 'MyDatabase' (as shown above) and has different logs than the original. If possible, and capture a success message when restored.
Hello ,
1.Is there a way to generate an .sdf (SQL CE DB) from an existing SQL Server 2005 DB?
So that the sdf file has the same tables and data as SQL server 2005 DB.
2.Is there a way to copy data in Excel file to an .sdf file (SQL CE DB)?
Thanks,

I am being asked to install Reporting Services on an existing SQL Server 2005 SP2 as well. My question is with regard to the setup. When I go through the setup I choose nothing but Reporting Services, which means everything else has a red X on it. Will setup un-install my existing SQL Server 2005 environment? I need Reporting Services, but I do not want to remove my existing environment. Will this happen?

Hi,
I have a windows 2003R2 SP2 server with SQL Server 2005 std SP2.
I need to add Reporting services & Analysis Services, but i'm not sure of how to proceed.
I was thinking about this :
"Add or remove programs", select "Change", select "To install a new component, click here", inserting my CD, and select in the setup Reporting Services & Analysis Services.
After the install, I think I also need to run again SP2 setup, right ?
Thanks for your advices

So this way dont work, I tried to do something with export and import wizard but it just creates another database and copies the data in that database in the same server. I want to copy that data and put onto another system, please guide me. I'm confused, Thanks a lot
View 5 Replies View RelatedI would like to create a test environment on a separate server running advanced server 2000. The current production server is NT4.0. What is the easiest way to copy the databases from production to test. I installed SQL7.0 on the new box then created the backup devices. Next I copied the backup files for all of the databases including master etc. to the new backup device folders. I tried to restore the master db first - then things went down hill. Any recommended procedures regarding this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy web project (ASP.NET 2.0 / C#) runs against sql server 2000 and uses the System.Data.SqlClient.using System.Data.SqlClient;
I use System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection and System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand to make the connections to the database and do selects and updates. Is it correct to continue to use these against SQL Server 2005? I ask because I made a connection string (outside of .Net) for SqlServer 2005 using the SQL native provider and it had the following - Provider=SQLNCLI.1 and any connection strings I had made (also outside of ASP.NET) fro SQL Server all used Provider=SQLOLEDB.1. This is why I wondered if there is a different SqlClient in .Net 2.0 for SQL Server 2005?

Hello
I was using SQL SERVER 2000 ... In one table I've created FULL TEXT SEARCHING ( Full text catalog along with full text indexing)
Now we had to install our db in SQL SERVER 2005 standard edition. But while taking script it gave me two lines like:
if (select DATABASEPROPERTY(DB_NAME(), N'IsFullTextEnabled')) <> 1
exec sp_fulltext_database N'enable'
GO
if not exists (select * from dbo.sysfulltextcatalogs where name = N'DEV_CAS_DiagnosisCatalog')
exec sp_fulltext_catalog N'DEV_CAS_DiagnosisCatalog', N'create'
GO
so I used this in the new db creation script...
But I couldn't get where it actually is in SQL SERVER 2005 standard edition.
and also plz help how should we create if it doesn't exist...
What could be the problem....
Thanks In advance
Dear Gurus,
I need to do the following in SQL Server 2005:
1. Restrict access of user SA to my database
2. Encrypt contents of the whole database. Is there anything available in SQL Server 2005 (server or DB settings) which encrypt the contents. I do not want to explicitly encrypt individual columns !!
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I need to use the SQLDataSource in Visual Web Developer (VWD) 2005 Express websites. The SQLDataSource must have the .mdf data in the project application. But I have a volume of the .mdb data for evaluation by using T-SQL of the SQL Server 2005 Express and VWD 2005 Express program. Is it possible to convert existing data from .mdb to .mdf? If it is possible, please tell me what software program to use and how to do it.
Thanks,

Hello.
I've built a simple Visual Basic .NET project containing the following code...
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Data.SqlTypes
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Server
Partial Public Class StoredProcedures
<Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure()> _
Public Shared Sub WhoAmI()

From Visual Studio, I want to encrypt the contents of this assembly, as a proof-of-concept.
Even though assembly contents are stored as varbinary(MAX) in the database, converting to varchar(MAX) will expose the code.
However, the Dotfuscator Community Edition reports the following error: "Dotfuscator Community Edition cannot operate on SQL Server applications.... please try Standard or Professional Edition."
Has anyone tried encrypting a database assembly and deploying to the database?
A good test would be to issue the following TSQL script against the database holding the assembly...
-- Does the sample code above run?
EXEC dbo.WhoAmI
GO
-- Is the code readable?
SELECT * , Convert(varchar(MAX), content) FROM sys.assembly_files

Hello!
What is the best way to make a copy of an existing sql server database to another (physical) server?
Plan to make a full backup of another sql server database to another server. I've read about detach and attach
and copying the datafiles and log files but some say it is prone to data loss? Is this true?
And another thing, what if the existing sql server can't affor downtime for me to copy db files etc.?
Anybody here who have done the same?
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks!

1) What is the current version of SQL Server Express?
2) HOw much SQL Server Express costs (figure about 500 branch servers)
3)Are there any Tools from Microsoft to convert Access 97 directly to SQL Server express, and how much do they cost?
4)Server Hardware requirements to run SQL Server Express - disk size, memory size, security settings, pre-requisite, service needed.
5)Maximum capacity / capabilities of SQL Server Express-max # of simultaneous users,tables,rows,database size.
6)Any installation instruction for SQL Server Express.
We are using SQL Server 2012 for both production and development server. Currently, i have plan to transfer the full backup of SQL server database to the development server and then restore it on the development server for testing purpose, so we don't want to disturb on the production.
I have successfully backup the database from the production server and transfer to the development server. however, i encounter some difficulties when trying to do restore. my question is:
1. do i need to firstly create an empty database on the development server and then restore it into this empty database? say i create database call "Test2", then i perform a restore into this database.
2. currently, there is already an existing database being restored previously in the development server and this database is actually the older version of the backup that being restored by the previous engineer. should i remove this database first and restore a new one or both of the database can coexist as long as we put different name for the database?
Given than once SQL Server 2005 is installed, SQL Server Studio has to
be used instead of Enterprise manager, can both SQL 2000 and 2005 be
used on the same machine, be it development or production? (The second
one to be installed probably would be a named instance.)
Any experiance of doing this or a pointer to a Microsoft recommendation would be appreciated.
This is a fresh install of SQL Server 2005 (64bit) on a Windows 2003 R2 SP2 64bit OS. The Cluster has been built and SQL 2005 has been installed (Database Engine(clustered), Analysis Server(clustered), Notification Server, Integration Server, Reporting Services). SQL 2005 SP2 has been installed.
Now, I want to install Notification Server, Integration Server and Reporting Services on the second node for high availability.
When I select 'Install New Components' from Add/Remove Programs, the System Configuation Checker tells me theres a version difference and to:
To change an existing instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to a different edition of SQL Server 2005, you must run SQL Server 2005 Setup from the command prompt and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter.
I'm using the same binaries as the original install. Could this be a result of installing SQL 2005 SP2?
Can someone help me out with this. I'd prefer using the setup interface instead of a command line script.
I use a number of certificates on my database server. I'm trying to verify the correct certificate is being used on the correct database.

I need to recover some data in a table but i'm not 100% sure the right way to do this safely.
I'll need to query the two tables to compare the before and after but how do i go about restoring/attaching the backup database to SQL without causing conflicts?
If I restore, I assume this would just overwrite which is obviously the worst thing that can happen. if i attach the backup, how does this affect the current live DB? how do i make sure that it's not getting accessed and mistaken for the live DB?
The SQL server is 2008 R2 running as a VM.

Hi, My server went dead(problems with the hard disk), but I have a copy of the whole sql server directory including the database in a external hard disk. I have a new server now and I would like to copy this database (with the reports from reporting services too) from the external hard disk to my new server. can anybody help me please? Thanks.
Note : I have a plain copy of all the sql server directory with all the files including the database not a SQLServer backup done with the wizards.
Hi guys,
I've been assigned the task of setting up access to our SQL Server 2005 box. A consultant developing for us has accessing to 2 databases and I've set this up fine. It appears however that one of these databases is re-copied over to the server every night to keep data reasonably current.
I'm not interesting in changing this method as I'm not the maintainer (as yet).
Basically I would like to know if I've setup access to this database (it works fine), when the database is updated (with an SSIS package) the account seems to get deleted. Do the original permissions from the source database overwrite those of its destination?
Cheers
I have inherited a job that is calling a maintenance plan. The maintenace plan makes a back-up of various databases.I have to add a step to add to encrypt the backup. I have the exe already. Its called "EncryptBackup.exe".My difficulty is I do not know how to add the step to the job exactly. The command syntax eludes me a bit. The syntax for the encrypter exe is:
C:exesEncryptBackup.exe C:DBBackupFolderA Encypt filename.bak
The output is "filename_encrypt.bak". It should be noted that there exists several sub-folder off: C:DBBackup like FolderA, FolderB, etc...each one holds a database.
