HELP! Database Restore Using SQL Express
Sep 27, 2006
I've try to do the database restore in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express using sql command as below:
RESTORE DATABASE testJG
FROM DISK = 'c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.3MSSQLBackupJGsql.bak'
GO
But I get this error message.
Msg 3102, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE cannot process database 'testJG' because it is in use by this session. It is recommended that the master database be used when performing this operation.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Does this means that I need to restore the master database from systems database to the database testJG before I restore the backup database?

Hello,
I have managed to create a backup of my SQL Express database by using the Transact-SQL from article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241397.
I am not sure if it backed up the correct database, as in the script from the article, there is no where for me to specify my SQL Express database. The back up file that was created after I ran the script is, msdb.dat_bak.
Now if this is the correct database, how can I restore the data into my vb.net project that holds the SQL Express Database?
Thanks in advance.

GO
I recieve the following error.

The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'Master' dat
abase.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Server COPLEYNEWSSQLEXPRESS, Line 1

Hello there,
I've some really big problems with SQL Server 2005 Express. I Recently, I had 2 instances on my machine, one was a SQL Server 2000 Developer and the other a 2005 Express Version. The 2000 version was not necessary anymore, so I unstalled it, since then, the Express version keeps having probems.
Under the Server Properties -> Database settings -> Database Locations I've changed the path to D:sqldatamssql, but now, the programm always takes the "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" to store and load the databases, no matter what I do.
And there are more problems see here:
Restoring does not work=======================
I wanted to restore a database called "fw40_admin" from a backup file (.bak), but that didn't work at all, it always says this as an error:
"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '5(error not found)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'D:sqldatamssqlfw40_admin.mdf'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)"
But as soon as I type in the installation path "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData" inside the "Restore As" under "Options", it works.
Why does the backup only work in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData", BUT the database locations under the server properties is indicated with "D:sqldatamssql"????
Attaching does not work=======================
Attaching an existing database does not work either. Most databases (mdf) are located on the path D:sqldatamssql, but as soon as I press
Attach Databases -> Add
The dialog window appears with the "D:sqldatamssql" path, but it is unable to find any *.mdfs altough THERE ARE .mdfs in this directory. But Express can find databases in the selected installation: "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData".
Why can't Express see the directory on the D: partition???
What is wrong? Here? Can anybody help me?

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??

From everything I'm reading, I shouldn't be getting this error in 2005: Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only 64 are allowed. RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3205)
I have both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 (Express) on same dev box, have loaded SP 4 for 2000, I'm trying to restore this in 2005.
Why am I still getting this error?
Help is appreciated greatly. Thanks.

I had to rebuild my server and have re-installed SQL Express, before I formated the machine I did a full backup of one of my databases using the SQL mangement tool. Now when I go back to restore the data base says everything restored, but now getting sql error that store procedure is missing. I have the script that create all the tables and procedures but running this puts me all the way back when the database was new and wipes out all my information. I was expecting that when I do a complete backup the every aspect of the database would have been saved in the BAK files.

I have sent a backup file I created in SQL Express to a client who has full version of MS SQL Server 2005.
They tell me that they cannot restore from the backup. I do not know what errors (if any they get, but am chasing them up for more details)
Is there a known problem restoring an Express .BAK file to SQL 2005?
The backups restore fine within SQLExpress.
Thanks

Hi i have an web app demo that allows users to add info and change attributes within a SQL 2005 Express DB. I'd like to restore a clean copy of this database every couple of hours from a .bak file using a Windows scheduled task on the server. Has anyone got a .sql script for database restoration that i could use and call using a .cmd script file? Thanks.

Hi,
I'm currently working on a project which uses a SQL Express 2005 database. I want to be able to setup SQL Express from my C# program so that it can perform backups to a specified path location at the requested interval itself. This would free up my program from having to manage the backups. Just wanted to know if this is possible?
Also, when the current database becomes corrupt will SQL Express perform the restore for the user automatically, instead of them having to manually request a restore? I realize that it might not be able to handle the restores in the same way as backups, but I figured I'd at least ask.
Thanks,
KingyNL

Hello,
I would like to restore SQL Server Express and its databases from a tape backup to the same server. This is a disaster recovery senario.
I backed up the Master, Model, MSDB and my own test database using SQLCMD scripts. I have no problem restoring these using task manager on the server before the disaster recovery.
However, in my real disaster recovery testing, When the server is restored by tape drive (HP one button disaster recovery), I try to run my SQLCMD restore scripts in task manager and I cannot connect to the sql server. Also I cannot connect with Management studio. I have recieved the following error in event viewer.

My question is, what is the correct procedure to follow when I want to do a disaster recovery and restore SQL Server Express from tape backup using the Simple Backup method and scripts.
Is it always required to reinstall sql server express from the original program file or is it possible to reinstall from back up tape.
I know my backup and restore scripts work because I tested them on the server before I do the disaster recovery and rebuild that server from tape.
This is some kind of issue with SQL Server Express being restored by tape backup.
Any suggestions, thanks.

Anybody 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?

I am fairly new to VS 2005 and SQL Server CE. I have developed a Desktop Windows application using VB 2005 and the SQL Compact Edition Database. This application will sell to users via web download.
When they download a service patch, or updated version, I wish for them to retain the data in their present database. In other words, fill the new database with the old data. The new table structures will remain intact except for added columns at the end.
Question is how to save the old data and update the new database with it. Is there an easy way to do this, or do I need to write a module to save a database copy, and update the new database with content at install time?

Sometime during the night last night some user account permissions were "lost". Am I right to think that restoring the master database would be the way to go? We have a 2 node 2012 cluster and I stop the cluster resource and start the db in single user mode from the active node. Somehow the sharepoint farm is still trying to connect so I can't get logged in single user. What method could I use to stop users from connecting when I don't have access to the sharepoint farm.

i have a development database that has updates and changes to a production database. rather than go through individually and alter all relevant tables and stored procedures, id like to back up the database on the development side and restore it on the production side as the production database. is there a way to restore the database on the production server but preserve all the security settings (ie logins and such)? i noticed on our development server, that if i try to restore the database with my development database, it overwrites the users and/or if the user is the same on both, it removes the login name for that user.

I have a client that has POS software called Restaurant Pro Express (RPE) from [URL] ...
Their old POS computer had a hardware failure, but I was able to attach the hard-drive to another computer and recover the data. RPE uses a MSSQL database system. However, my client doesn't seem to make backups very often
- the last one is dated January 5, 2015. I was able to copy the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server folder over which contained the instance as well as all the data files - and has up-to-date information. The instance in the recovered Microsoft SQL Server folder was called MSSQL.1. I installed the RPE software on their new computer, and it too now has an instance called MSSQL10_50.PCAMERICA. The new computer is using MSSQL 2008 R2, while I believe the old computer would have been using MSSQL 2005.
I am no DBA expert, especially when it comes to MSSQL. Is is possible to 'restore' the database from the 'raw' .mdf and .ldf files of the old computer to the new computer / database instance? If so, how should I proceed?

When I downloaded/started using Visual Web Developer I was under the impression that I needed to install SQL Server Management Studio Express in order to create/manage databases, and to provide the engine to access the data.
Since then I have found tutorials and have successfully created/used databases solely from within Visual Web Developer. I'm assuming that Visual Web Developer includes a database engine, much like the webserver that is included. (This is an awesome thing).
When I tried to upload my web application with database to my production server, the database would not work, it started working after I installed SQL Server Management Studio Express on the server.
Is it my understanding that you need SQL Server Management Studio Express if you do not have Visual Web Developer Express installed in order to provide the data access engine?
Also, I am unable to "attach" my Visual Web Developer Express created database to SQL Server Management Studio Express. Are there any posts that provide more information about this topic?
The only reason I'm asking is that I have extra whitespace on the end of my text fields, and I thought ANSI_PADDING was turned on. I do not see the option in Visual Web Developer Express, but have found it in SQL Server Management Studio Express.
