Help Needed To Restore SQL Database
Jan 11, 2006
Hi Gurus,
Can anyone assist?
How to recover the database if I have only the current transaction log and a older version of .mdf & .ldf files. No backup had being performed via Enterprise Manager.
I have installed MSSQL2000 on Windows 2003 Server. Created a new database 'sample' and inserted some data into the 'sample' db. Afterwhich, I offline the 'sample' db and copied the .mdf & .ldf to another backup directory.
Restart the database by bring it online again and continue to insert more data ... (approx 100,000 rows of data).
Afterwhich, I tried to damage the running database .mdf file and the database went into offline / suspect mode.
How can I recovered to the point in time of failure based on just current transactional log & older version of .mdf & .ldf files?
Can any gurus out there advises?

Hi All,
I am trying to restore MSSQL database (dunno the version) into MSSQL 2000. I am getting the following error:
Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)
The backed-up database has on-disk structure version 539. The server supports version 538 and cannot restore or upgrade this database. RESTORE DATABASE terminating abnormally.
Is there any way to restore it?
Please guide.
Thanks in advance.

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??

Guys,
Here my trouble I have for the weekend. I am working with SQL express in my local machine and everything is doing well. However, when I transfer the database to SQL 2005 in my host machine, I have this error. I checked on the internet and follow some of the suggestion I have, but not seems working. I ever remove the script I create using the aspnet_regsql, but still keep getting the same error. Please help. Any help is appreciated.
Below is the errors:
The 'System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider' requires a database schema compatible with schema version '1'. However, the current database schema is not compatible with this version. You may need to either install a compatible schema with aspnet_regsql.exe (available in the framework installation directory), or upgrade the provider to a newer version.

hi,
on 1 of my servers (actually, the dev. server I have setup up here at home), I must included the database owner everytime I select something or make a db call.
for example
select T.foo from K inner join T on T.id = K.id
must actualy be written like:
select dbo.T.foo from dbo.K inner join dbo.T on dbo.T.id = dbo.K.id
or else it wont work
what did I do wrong for this database owner thing to be a "must" when writing queries on this server.
spec:
sql 2000 sp4

hi,
iam thinking of changing my ajax slideshow so that it gets the data from the databse. currently i am finding it hard to add text functianlity the way i want with the slide show.
what my query is, that if i to using a datalist can i add javasscript functionality to the data being retrived. for example, currently i have written some javascript so that a series of text is diplayed one after the other in a sequence from just one button click. so if im pulling data out of a databse can i still add this javascript functionality to it? i hope this makes sense, if it doesnt then i am willing to elaborate. please can any one offer any advice or examples or any suggestions on how i can do this. any help is much appricated as i am struggling to find a solution as i orinally wanted to be able to add this javascript functionality with the play button of the slide show but i couldnt find a solution.also i think its better to use some kind of database as i can use the editing funtions visual web developer offers
thank you

Seek expert’s advice on database mirroring
in high safety mode when safety is full if for some reason communication between principal and mirror is broken for say 2 days then principal will keep working but in disconnected mode. When communication link will establish again then principal can see the mirror server
1. Will establish the mirroring automatically?
2. Then will it synchronise the mirror databases automatically?
3. If it will synchronise databases automatically then principal will process transaction
or wait till principal-mirror will be in synchronised state which again depends on
number of transaction need to redo on mirror?
Thanks in advance

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?

I'm looking for the correct permissions to grant a user the ability to be able to drop all connections on a database.
The following code throws an exception:
Dim srv As New Server(SqlServerName)
If srv.Databases.Contains(siDBName) Then
srv.KillAllProcesses(siDBName) '== the srv.KillDatabase will not work here, we must kill the processes first
Dim db As Database = srv.Databases(siDBName)
db.Drop()
End If
Throws the Exception:
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.FailedOperationException:
Drop all active database connections failed for Server 'xxxx'.
The user does not have permission to perform this action.
This code DOES NOT throw an exception when run as an Administrator.
Any Ideas?

I have been working SQL server for many years as a web developer, however in my current position we are lacking an expert in maintenance and admninistration as the company has recently switched over to SQL Server 2005.
I therefore need to develop a greater understanding of the best practices with regards to administration and am a bit lost as there are so many options which seem like they might match my requirements. As I have never looked beyond the basic administration/maintenance side of things before I have no idea which options to investigate.
Basically I want to clear any records older than 3 months old on a scheduled/automatic basis. There seem to be various options that could do this, however I want to know what the best option is, rather than waste a lot of time and risk problems by resorting to trial and error.
We are already backing up this data, however I am not sure if I should combine these tasks. It is highly unlikely that we will ever have to restore these older records, however we do need to store the data for legal reasons.
I dont expect anyone to tell me everything, as I am happy to investigate, I just need a nudge in the right direction.
Thanks

Hello, I was wondering if any of you experts might assist me in properly creating a database for my application. I've been pondering for a few days on how to accomplish this, but it seems that it doesnt have to be as complex as I am thinking...I just have to know how.
First off, I want to populate a dataset from a database in which I can databind to a datalist or repeater control. My datalist or repeater will have the following information in the ItemTemplate. Each ItemTemplate will consist of a table with 1 row with 3 columns cells. In each cell, the data will be laid out as accordingly.
[Unique Number] [Description ][Price ]
1000 XYZ $100.00
1001 ZXY $250.00
When the datalist or repeater is populated, it will need to be tried against a value that the user selects. For instance, the user selects 100,000 from a listbox and fetches the next page which will show the diagram above...he/she will see those results. However, if the user selects 110,000, the diagram above will have for the most part the same Unique Number and Descriptions, but the prices will vary. The reason I say for the most part with the Unique Number and Descriptions, is because I want to later be able to add admin access to add additional rows and appropriate prices to each Unique Number and Description.
Now the tricky part is, I could just add the listbox values to a table as a unique key and associated them with the Unique Number, Description and Price, however there are about 50 different options the user can select from and approx 50 different rows of Unique Numbers, Descriptions and Price . So you can see, I would have to set up the diagram each time for every possible selection from the listbox, which wouldnt really be efficient I presume.
I want to be able to populate the datalist or repeater so it could have say 50 Unique Numbers with Descriptions and Price at selection 100,000. And also that it might only populate with 45 Unique Numbers and Descrptions and Price at selection 110,000 because the 5 missing dont pertain to the selection of 110,000. I am trying to do it this way because at sometime, I want the admin to be able to add/delete a Unique Number, a Description for it and a corresponding price that correlates to the selection from the listbox.
Thanks for all your help guys. I really appreciate it. For the most part I understand what Im doing, I just need to be walked thru it a bit. Thanks again!

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?

I'm a newbie so please be gentle.In attempting to run a restore I get the following error message:"Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is inuse." However, it doesn't appear that there are any connections to thedatabase. At the suggestion of another thread, I ran sp_who2 and thereare no connections to the database in question. I've been running thesame restore for months and all has been well, until yesterday....I wrote an .asp page (below) to test connectivity to this database.The vb code ran successfully and soon thereafter, my nightly restorefailed. Task manager does no show that the asp page is active.Lastly, I did add a user ("jbtest") as well as change the option to useeither Windows authentication or SQL Server authentication inEnterprise Manager.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.<%@ Language=VBScript %><%companyName = "agemni"Set cnn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")cnn.ConnectionString = "DRIVER=SQLServer;SERVER=SHEELA-NA-GIG;UID=jbtest;PWD=test1;APP=MicrosoftDevelopment Environment;WSID=SHEELA-NA-GIG;DATABASE=" & companyName &";Trusted_Connection=No"cnn.ConnectionTimeout = 300cnn.CommandTimeout = 300cnn.OpenSet RS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")strSQL = "SELECT * FROM Preferences"RS.Open strSQL, cnnResponse.Write "connection established with the <b>" & RS("CompanyName") & "</b> database.

I want to add a new table to a database on a server. I assume the best way to do this is to backup db on sever, restore to local computer, add table, backup local, and restore to server. (If there is a better way, I am open).
I can backup the database on the server and get the backup to my local computer. However, when I use SQL Server Management Studio Express to restore the .bak file to my computer, I get the following error:
