HELP!!! Unable To Back Up Databases In SQL Server 7.0
May 11, 2001
Hi,
I am using SQL Server 7.0.
I have sa rights.. I went to the Enterprise Manager and choose a Server and under that server choose a database.
Then I clicked "New Maintenance Plan" and set up a Backup plan for my database.
The problem when I checked the next day the database was not backed up. I have tried this on other database and it has always worked. Why is it not working now? There is enough space on the Drive I am backing to.
Does anybody know of a way to rollback SQL Server 2005 databases back to SQL Server 2000? Is there a way of doing it without resorting to Copy Database Wizard? I love to find a way of attaching a SS 2005 database to a SS 2000 instance without any issues.
I recently upgraded to SS 2005 and I am very unhappy with the SS 2005 and I want to rollback to SS 2000, which was a lot more stable. I am having several major issues that are affecting my whole company's day-to-day operations and the managers are not happy. Some of the issues include night time batch running very sluggish for no apparent reason. This is a biggest problem because it only occurs once or so a week and causes a disturbance with the daily activities when the night time processing isn€™t completed on time. The rest of the time, the batch processing runs great, even a little better then on SS 2000. I don't believe it is a matter of my application needing to be retuned because if that was the case, then why isn't it running sluggish every night? Also, it's never the same day that the sluggish behavior occurs. If it was occurring on the same night, then I would have something to investigate within our application, but it doesn't. Another issue that I am having involves a night time job that restores a copy of the production database to the Data Warehouse server to be used for updating the data warehouse. Again, most of the time it runs great (~2 1/2 hours), but once or twice a week, it goes stupid and takes 6 1/2 hours for no apparent reason. Again, it is not happening the same day either, which could give me something to invesigate. On SS 2000, this same job ran flawlessly. Never I did I run into situation that the database restoration took that long to run. Even another issue involves a SQL Server Agent Job that was put into suspended state. What's a suspended state and how can I get it out of suspended state? I can find no information about suspended state in BOL. I did a Google and nothing came up. If this suspended state was put in for security reasons, great, but then tell me how I can remove the suspended state. I am also not happy with the fact that I can't get accurate information about the queries that are actively running at that particular moment. In SS 2000, when I noticed high CPU usage on the server, I would run the sp_who2 active stored proc and it would show me all the active thread and how much CPU it was consuming. I would then find the running threads with the highest CPU numbers and investigate the query and see if we could improve it. Now in SS 2005, I get in the same situation and run the sp_who2 stored proc, and there is no smoking gun. All of the active threads are showing very little CPU usage, which I am very suspect of. What the heck happen to sp_who2? I looked at some of the other ways of looking at running processes (i.e... sys.sysprocesses) and they don't appear to be giving the information that I need.
I am very unhappy and I just want to roll back to SS 2000 and wait a couple of years before I upgrade to SS 2005.

I'm wondering if somebody could provide insight into a problem I'm having with SQL Server 2005. Although the problem is happening wthin an SSIS ETL, I don't think this problem is SSIS related.
In the ETL I need to rename a database, so I first put the database into single-user mode by issuing the command:
ALTER DATABASE foobar SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK 30
The database then goes into single-user mode, and after the renaming occurs, I attempt to put the same database back into multi-user mode:
ALTER DATABASE foobar SET MULTI_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
However, whenever I have a query pane opened against the same database in SQL Server Management Studio, the ETL fails and I get this error message:
"Error: Changes to the state or options of database 'foobar' cannot be made at this time. The database is in single-user mode, and a user is currently connected to it."
I'm wondering why the ALTER DATABASE command does not kill off the active connections? This is on my development box, and I'm the only one connected to the database. I've tried with ROLLBACK 30 as well, same thing. If I cut and paste the same command into Mangement Studio, the command succeeds so I don't think its a permission issue (using Windows Authentication both Management Studio and the ETL are executed by the same login). If I close the query pane the ETL succeeds at restoring multi-user mode. Is there something I am missing? Thanks in advance!
I dont alot about sql server 2005(Express edition). For debugging purposes i want to copy the whole app_data folder(.mdf & .log files) on the production server to another folder on the same machine(or sometimes to a network folder). So when i copy and try to paste this App_data folder to a new location, i get this error message "cannot copy ASPNETDB: it is being used by another person or program. close any programs that might be using the file and try again." After reading the above message, i close visual web developer, stop the website in IIS and stop the SQLExpress service on the server and try again but still get the same message. So how can i make sure that all the programs accessing these database files are closed such that i'm able able to copy them to a different location.
The following problem occurs when trying to mirror multiple databases using SQL Server 2005:
After mirroring about 40 databases, an error occurred concerning a lack memory availability on the mirror-server. I added the parameter /3GB to the boot.ini file and enlarged virtual memory space.
Now I was able to mirror a total of 59 databases. When trying to add the 60th database on the principal server, it won't get through. I don't get any error message, neither the mirror starts. However the SQL Server Management Studio on the mirror-server doesn€™t seem to respond to any commands given until the mirror is again removed for one or more databases on the principal server. Adding the parameter /PAE to the boot.ini file, or enlarging the virtual memory again didn't bring the solution.
Both principal- and mirror-server are dual processor servers.
The principal is a Windows 2003 Server Standard x64 Edition service Pack 1 and runs:
SQL SERVER 2005: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.2047.00 Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 2005.090.2047.00 Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.086.1830.00 (srv03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447) Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 5.0 6.0 Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.3790.1830 Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42 Operating System 5.2.3790
It has 4GB of memory.
The mirror is a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server Enterprise service Pack 1 and runs:
SQL SERVER 2005: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.2047.00 Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 2005.090.2047.00 Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.086.1830.00 (srv03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447) Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.3790.1830 Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42 Operating System 5.2.3790
IN the enterprise manager I could see my database server but could not see the databases.Bur I can see the databases and database objects in quesry analyzer. What should be the problem and how can see the databases from my enterprise manager. Thanks.
I'm trying to test my backups by restoring from production onto a DEV machine.
However, when I insert the backup tape into the drive, then go into SSMS and right click on Databases -> Restore Database -> From Device .... -> Tape -> Add -> (my tape drive \.Tape0) -> Contents it displays the contents as it should.
So I click "Close" to close the contents and bring me back to the Specify Backup where I have \.Tape0 selected and I then click "OK" SSMS sits for a few seconds, and then I get a time out error message:

That's all the further I can get... any suggestions?
Hello,I'm trying to create a simple back up in the SQL Maintenance Plan that willmake a single back up copy of all database every night at 10 pm. I'd likethe previous nights file to be overwritten, so there will be only a singleback up file for each database (tape back up runs every night, so each daysback up will be saved on tape).Every night the maintenance plan makes a back up of all the databases to anew file with a datetime stamp, meaning the previous nights file stillexists. Even when I check "Remove files older than 22 hours" the previousnights file still exists. Is there any way to create a back up file withoutthe date time stamp so it overwrites the previous nights file?Thanks!Rick
New to Database Mirroring and I have a question about the Principal database server. I have a Database Mirroring setup configured for High-safety with automatic fail over mode using a witness.
When a fail over occurs because of a lost of communication between the principal and mirror, the mirror server takes on the roll of Principal. When communication is returned to the Principal server, at some point does the database that was the previous Principal database automatically go back to being the Principal server?

Hello,I am hoping you can help me with the following problem; I need to process the following steps every couple of hours in order to keep our Sql 2000 database a small as possible (the transaction log is 5x bigger than the db).1.back-up the entire database2.truncate the log3.shrink the log4.back-up once again.As you may have determined, I am relatively new to managing a sql server database and while I have found multiple articles online about the topics I need to accomplish, I cannot find any actual examples that explain where I input the coded used to accomplish the above-mentioned steps. I do understand the theory behind the steps I just do not know how to accomplish them!If you know of a well-documented tutorial, please point me in the right direction.Regards.

Hi folks,I was working on MS sql server 2005 evalution where i have built a number of databases. However, i came to discove that the evalution version has expried before i finished my work.

I am having a nightmare of a time with my Sql Server 2005 Express. My computer crashed on Friday the 13th - of course. I saved all my files onto another drive and wiped out C: I brought everything back in but I started a new file for my Visual Basic projects. After asking questions I found this was a major no-no So I brought my original folder back in. This solved some of my problems I was having with Visual Studio and Visual Web, but I am continuing to have problems with Sql Server. I will explain these two problem they may be related, I don't know. When I run my Visual Website on a server I get this message:
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file(then my file name)failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
And my second problem is when I attempt to run Sql Server Management Studio Express I get this error message:
There is no editor available for (then my file name) .mdf
Make sure the application for file type(.mdf)is installed.
HI allI want to take a back of my serverthere is 40 data base into my server and i have to take back of every database every day is there any way which can take back up of hole server at one time.regard
I am trying to back up database to a different server. I am able to map the serve to my current ones, however, when I go to Enterprise Manager - back up DB, I can not see the mapped drive from back up file location, I wasn't able to see any other disk location but the local drives.
Can somebody tell me how can I back up database to a different server from Enterprise Manager or any syntax?
Is it possible, into a DTS package, to get back the name of the SQL server on which it is registered (through a property of the DTS package for example) ?
I know it's possible to see the name of a server with the system variable @@servername or this request "Select srvname From master..sysservers" but I don't know how I can allocate the value of these solutions to a variable into an ActiveX script...
I want to schedule an automated nightly backup of a database to another server on the network (backing up a 6.5 database on Server3 to Server5). File sharing is turned on for Server5 with all permissions, so that shouldn't be a problem. Server 3 sees the Server5 backup location fine from the NT Explorer, proving the two servers are talking to each other okay. Both servers have an NT account called SQLServer with the same name and password and full administrative privileges, which Server3's SQL Executive service uses to log on with (SQL Server is not installed on Server5).
When I try to back up to Server5 (whether to Server5DDRIVETBBackupDailyTimeAndBilling.dat or to a mapped drive F:TBBackupDailyTimeAndBilling.dat) an error message is returned saying "[SQL Server] Can't open dump device 'Server5DDRIVETBBackupDailyTimeAndBilling.dat' , device error or device off line. Please consult the SQL Server error log for more details." The error log says "Backup device 'Server5DDRIVETBBackupDailyTimeAndBilling.dat' failed to open, operating system error = 5(Access is denied.)"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to set up an Access db to connect to a SQL server back end. I created a system DSN and then linked the Access db to it; no problem when the Access db is local. When I upload the Access db to the website, it refuses to connect; I keep getting this error message: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] ODBC--connection to 'SQS2008' failed.
Here is the ASP code in the web page (pretty plain vanilla): DIM Connect2 SET Connect2=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.CONNECTION") DSNTemp="Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; " DSNTemp = DSNTemp & "DBQ=" & server.mappath("yetanothertest.mdb") connect2.Open DSNTemp

Hi all Hope you can help. I've been using MS Access as a backend content server on websites for some time. However, I want to move to Sql Server but am struggling a bit with some of the concepts.
I want two types of users of the website. 1 User who can view data as a iusr_guest type user (no login) 2 can view/ edit data as a datawriter (website administrator).
With Access I would simply have a table or another db containing user info. If a user logged in and was accepted then a IIS user session would be created and they could edit the db.
Any views on how this type of simple db access should be managed using sql server?
What is the best way to back up sql server to a remote site so that if we had total data loss locally I would be able to restore and get back up and running as quickly as possible. I have a remote file storage option that I use and I currently store a MSAccess version of the db there. I assume there is a much better solution to this. Can someone "upgrade my knowledge" please?

I need to back up a production database on one server and then copy it to a test server wherel it will be restored. The problem is that I don't know where to move the file to on the production server before I restore it. Is there a special folder I need to copy the file to? I see a folder named ProgramFilesMicrosoft SQL Server but beyond that I have no idea where to copy the file so that it can be restored?
