Force To Close Existing Connections When Restoring Existing Database
Aug 13, 2007
Hi All,
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

Dear all
I created this trigger on a table that i think failed while execution. I tried to modify it and run it again but it seems that i cant do that. If i try and delete the database i also cant - saying that it is still in use. But i am not using it and ther are no other users connected to it. I think the trigger has probably hit a loop and that is holding the link.
To close that i know that a solution would be to restart the SQL server instance but that would be a bit hard since the SQL server where my test database resides is a production server and has few other databases that are important and few users use them.
Is there any way through a SQL statement that there can be forced a delete? Or force close all the connections? Or force close all the processes without actually restarting the SQL server instance.
I have tried all options that were offered on some other forums like forcing it to a single user but even that operation can not be performed saying that the database is still in use.
Thank you so much for all your help and time.
Sincerely
Dan

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.

I have a process that restores a backup from a primary server to a backup server daily. When doing the restore, sometime it fails (for various reasons).
I have coded a job to Set offline, set online, an then do the restore:
RESTORE DATABASE [xxx] FROM DISK = N'D:Backup Stagingxxx.bak' WITH FILE = 1, NOUNLOAD, REPLACE, STATS = 10
Sometimes it fails to bring back online, other errors as well. Is there a reliable method of doing this?

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.

It may sound like crazy question, But just curious to know if any one tested this scenario.
I was restoring an existing database from a backup. While the restore is in progress, I found i was restoring with old back, then I canceled the operation.
Now Will it restore the partial data or it rolls back the entire transaction and brings back to original status or it will currupt the database??

I am using MS SQL 2005 Express. I have a database with two filegroups, the PRIMARY default filegroup, and then filegroup X. I have a backup of the PRIMARY filegroup only, and am trying to restore it to my database. When I select the .bak file to restore from, I am NOT given any 'backup sets to restore' - I therefore cannot select the filegroup to restore it. Can anyone advise? (NOTE - I have backed up the transaction log on the database I am restoring to already)
Thanks

I went to look at the connection string previously entered for a dataset created in a new report, and am not seeing anything intuitive for bringing up the associated datasource dialog box that was used to enter name, type and connection string. I'm also noticing nothing intuitive for deleting an existing dataset. How do you do these two very simple things in an existing project? I dont see the dataset in solution explorer, I see it only in the text box on the data tab and in a limited kind of way on the dataset view where the columns show and maint is allowed mostly on the columns only. I tried hilighting the dataset here and hitting the delete key to no avail.

In SQL Server Management Studio, it is possible to do the following:
a) In Object Explorer, connect to a particular SQL Server Database Engine, let's call it X.
b) Use that connection to generate many SQL queries, connected to X, in the right-hand pane.
c) In Object Explorer, connect to a particular SQL Server Database Engine, let's call it Y.
d) Use that connection to generate many SQL queries, connected to Y, in the right-hand pane.
e) Close the connection to X, which was created in step (a), from within Object Explorer.
In the right-hand pane, I am now left with a bunch of queries connected to X, and a similar bunch of queries connected to Y. Any quick way to shut all the queries connected to X, but none of the queries connected to Y?
This question can assume real practical importance if server X is a Live Production Server, and server Y is a Test Server, and my next job of the day is to run a change script against server Y....
I have looked for an option in Management Studio to "Close all queries connected to Server X", but haven't found one.

I have a MSSQL database from a pre-existing app. The data files do not have an MDF exension, they have a .dat extension. I can however use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express to run queries against the files, but I can not get VB 2005 to connect. When I attemp to add it as a project data source, I get the following error:
"An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file c:dataMSSQL$DATA_SQL....dat* failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
*Database names = company names are omitted to 'protect the innocent'.
Does anyone have any ideas? Since Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express worked so cleanly with the database I was expecting to easily get to the same data using VB.

How do I go about creating a cloned copy of an existing database on the same server? I basically want to set up a test copy of a production database, but let it reside on the same server with a slightly different name, prefixed with 'Testing_".
I typically just use Studio Express Manager and not scripts to do admin tasks. Here's what I tried that didn't work so well:
* Had full backups of production db
* Detached production database I wanted to clone
* From within Win Explorer, copy the .mdf and .ldf files within same data folder and gave them a new name, prefixing with "Testing_"
* Re-attached prodution db
* Attached "Testing_..." database
Sql Express seems confused at this point with new database I attached. It references the full path of the database I copied from (c:program filesmicrosoft sql servermssql.1data...". I rename the datbase, removing full path and prefixing with "Testing_".
* Using Sql authentication, changed the default database for the Login account to the new cloned copy of database.
* Did some query level data sanitizing to the cloned copy of the db. I am positive I performed this on the correct db.
* Was able to connect/authenticate to the cloned copy through a custom VB app on my dev machine, and all looked well.
* Tried to connect to the cloned db from another machine and couldn't. Went back to my dev machine and noticed the original production db looked hosed -- there were no tree nodes available to it! Was still able to connect to the cloned "Testing_" db copy, but not able to connect/authenticate anymore to the production copy.
* Detached cloned copy of "Testing_" db and moved it out of the data folder.
* Detached production db. Got an error msg indicating operation failure of some kind, but the database was gone from the tree.
* Reattached the production db but couldn't hit it from my custom vb app. Re-did the login and user accounts used by the app and was able to hit it. However, the data sanitizing I had done earlier in the cloned copy clearly was visibile in the production db!
* Had to restore production db from backup. Had problems authenticating from app, and recreated User account before the app was to connect.
Q1: What I am doing wrong? Sql Express was obviously as confused as me somewhere along the line.
Q2: Is specifying a default database used by a Login account necessary for a VB app like mine. I think it was something I discovered in the past, however, this would seemingly present a problem whenever I want my app to hit a different database, established through a connection string.
TIA...

Hello All,
I was wondering if anybody can help me with the following question:
I'm working on the application where the Database, it's table (2) and several stored procedures are involved. The database is SQL Server 2000. It's also very old and involves a lot of operations, stored proc and so on. I just need to re-write a piece of the app which is using existing stored proc. Most of them are DELETE, INSERT and so on. I don't want to work with real stage DB and need to make a copy of the Database to my Dev box. So I tried:
* Right click, All Tasks, Export Data into the newly created database on my dev box.
That doesn't work, every time I try doing it, it fails somewhere in the middle of the process. I'm thinking it happens because of complexity of the database. I tried several options there already. Still nothing. I need the whole databse to be copied because I'm not sure which stored proc the app is using so I need them all, and tables too. Is there another way of doing this?
Thank you,
Tatyana

I 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.

I have written some software using .NET 2.0, a WinForms app, which uses SQL Server Express as a database. Although I've done my best to set up the database to take into account all of the features, etc., after releasing the first version, I need to make some changes to the database schema, but want to do so without wiping out the entire database for existing users. How do I go about upgrading the database schema for users who are already using the software? I'm thinking I should start by writing a helper app to do so whose sole purpose is to upgrade the schema. The app would be run at install-time, but I don't have any idea how to actually upgrade the schema. I am using C++/CLR .NET, but examples in other .NET languages are more than welcome. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have the full blown Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (MSSMS) installed on my workstation.
We have a number of existing databases that I'd like to manage with MSSMS and put into source control.
How do I get MSSMS to "import" or "Convert" an existing SQL server 2000 database into a project that I can manage with MSSMS? We have not used Source safe up to this point, but would like to start doing so now.
This seems like it ought to be explained well up front in any discussion of converting from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 or installing 2005, but I can't find ANYTHING useful in the BOL or other help.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

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 installed ASPNETDB with the standard script, but then learned it was possible to integrate this membership db into my existing db (haven't done this yet, but will tomorrow then I'll delete the auto-created ASPNETDB for clarity).That's Great. Now.....I'm not sure the best way to tie this information into with my existing data. I assume I should use the UserID field but how should I do it? Should I update my existing customers table with a copy of the UserID value upon creation? If so, how do I do that? I can create the relations between whichever tables, but I am curious as to your recommended method.Thanks for your help.jb

I have a database full of tables but no install script. Is there a way
I can use EM or QA to create a create database with all the tables
script?
What I am trying to avoid is going through by hand to all these tables and writing out the sql to create the tables...
I know you can do it one table at a time in QA by clicking on the table
and choosing 'Script object as new', but I was wondering if there was a
way to do this for an entire database at once, instead of one table at
a time...
Thanks!

Hello Friends,
I am right now working on a project that has a database with over 100 tables in a database. Because of extreme time constraints the developers didn't build in any relationships or constraints between or in the tables. Now I need to remodel the database such that the database is more structured and normalized. I don't have much knowledge about the database design since it is a 2 year old application and the person who developed the database is now gone. I know remodelling the database would require knowledge of the existing database and business rules.
I was wondering if there are any tools that could suggest or discover relationships between tables. For eg. Lets say there are two tables named 'Customer' and 'Order'. I notice that there is a column named 'id' in Customer and a column named 'customer_id' in Order. So I ask the tool to discover a relationship between id and customer_id and it tells me that there is a one-one or one-many or no relationship by comparing values. I heard ERWin would be able to do that but thats expensive. Please do let me know asap.

Hi, I already got a database and I need to add another stored procedure on it in order to call it from the SSIS package.
But when I execute the sql file to create the procedure, there is a error message popping out like:
"Cannot add rows to sys.sql_dependencies for the stored procedure because it depends on the missing table 'logit'. The stored procedure will still be created; however, it cannot be successfully executed until the table exists."
And I have tried it on another computer, there is the same error. Could you please tell me how to solve the problem. Thanks very very much.
