Hot Backup In SIMPLE Mode
Jul 20, 2005
We have a SQL Server 7.0 database running with trunc. log on chkpt and
select into/bulkcopy checked and need to develop a backup strategy.
One of our DBAs insists that since the transaction log is being
truncated, we can't do a hot backup (a FULL backup in multiuser mode)
because if a transaction comes through during the backup it will leave
the backup in an inconsistent state. I'm skeptical, but I don't know
how SQL Server 7 avoids this problem.
If SQL 7 is not truncating the transaction log, it uses the
transaction log to roll forward changes that occurred during the
backup. Obviously if it's truncating the log it must have some way to
apply these transactions anyway (such as not doing a checkpoint during
the backup, backing up the log at each checkpoint, etc.).
Can anyone confirm that a hot backup will be valid when trunc. log on
chkpt is checked? Does anyone know how SQL 7 accomplishes this?
Thanks!

When we do a full database backup manually, we are seeing the trn file reflect the current date/time, but we are not seeing the mdf reflect the new date/time. And we are not seeing the transaction log file decrease in size. the recovery mode is set to full, do we need to change to simple to see both the mdf being backup'ed?

I have a small, ~10GB SQL 2008 R2 database, that was setup with simple recovery. We do full backup each night at midnight when no one is using the database. Is there any problems with doing differential backups during the day when users may be writing to the database? Could I even do hourly differential backups while users are using the database? I'm conflicted about switching over to full recovery mode and using transaction logs to have the ability restore data between backups. If I can do a couple daily differential backups while users are using the database during the day, in addition to our nightly full backups, than I live with simple recovery mode.

Hi,
On SQL 2000, if I have a large transaction log for my database and I manage to fill it with a single large transaction but it is not set to autogrow, what happens?

Which system table is this information held in, i restored over 100 databases and want all of them to be simple mode.
I manually set it each time after each restore, but i want to confirm but i cannot find the sys table to do a select on.
I looked at sys.sysdatabases

I have several databases that perform daily backups. Ever since I installed SP2, the backup jobs are failing. The logs state that it's because the database recovery mode cannot be SIMPLE, but need to be either FULL or Bulk-Logged.
Can anyone tell me if this is true, and that I do have to change my recovery mode?
Here's the error:

Hi,
What is the impact of changing the recovery mode of a database from Full to simple? The client I am at has set their database to full recovery mode, set their log files to grow automatically. But I don't think they have ever done a backup of their transaction log (it has grown to over 19Gig, where the data portion of the database is only around 400M).
What is the impact of truncating the transaction log now? After truncating it, i would like to shrink the file to a managable number and change the recovery mode to simple (they don't need transaction log backups)
Any info on this would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Jim

I have a database that is set to Full recovery model, I would like to switch to simple. I must perform some procedure before doing so?
The size of the transaction log is very high in this database, I would like to decrease it before moving to simple, have a problem doing that?
Thank You,

hi,
we have a SQL Server 2000 database which we set to 'SIMPLE' recovery mode at 6pm (due to nightly large data loads). We revert back to 'FULL' recovery mode at 6am.
My understanding was that in 'SIMPLE' recovery mode, the transaction log would not grow because it would automatically be truncated after a checkpoint. However this is not the case. I thought perhaps it could be due to a long running uncomitted transaction, but when I ran 'dbcc opentran', the oldest running transactions doesn't last for more than a couple minutes. I manually run a 'checkpoint' command as well in the hope of forcing the transaction log truncation. I repeat this a couple of times to no avail. When I run 'dbcc sqlperf(logspace)' , I can still see the transaction log growing.
It is not until I run 'backup log db with truncate_only' that the transaction log gets truncated.
I do not understand, why the transaction log does not get automatically truncated in SIMPLE recovery mode?

Something strange is happening to our SQL Server DB (2000). Thetempdb transaction log file continues to grow (quite slowly) for noapparent reason. We have it in simple mode, and I have tried a manualcheckpoint command and manual shrink (of the log file only). Thereare no unusual SQL's (large or small) going on. A "heavy hitter" wouldmake it grow fast, not 10 MB every 30 minutes or so. This server hasbeen in production for over a year with no similar issues to this.Anyone encounter a similar situation? This started (as far as we cantell) sometime yesterday. It is growing about 200 MB a day, and is upto 600 MB now, with all but 8 MB "used". For now we added space, butof course that is not a long term solution. The two "data" files(each had a 200 MB initial allocation) have never gone much above 100MB each used (they are each about 100 MB now and have been that wayfor several days, but have shrank and grown). There are about 30small to medium sized "regular" databases on this instance.Any help would be appreciated, especially if there is a way we can fixthis without bouncing the engine (I know, wishful thinking...). The OSis Win 2000, SP3. SQL Server is at 2000, SP 3a.THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Is this Possible, If database is in Simple recovery Mode and the ldf size gets increased?? .
mdf size : 159 GB (171,383,717,888 bytes)
ldf size : 6.46 GB (6,945,505,280 bytes).
My question is if the recovery model is in Simple Mode then why the log gets generated high.
dbcc sqlperf(logspace) --output

Wondering whether I can have following included in a script file:
1. set the current single user db from Full to Simple recovery mode.
2. Checkpoint and shrink the transaction log file (release all unused space)
3. set the current single user db from Simple recovery to Full recover mode.

Hi there - can anyone advise on the following issue. We have recently performed some server side tracing on a particular SQL instance over 24hr period. We are now attempting to load these into a database for analysis. Here lies the problem.
When we are loading the profiler trace files (one at a time) into the database the transaction log is growing at an excessive rate. Even though the database is in SIMPLE mode.
We are loading the traces using the command:
INSERT INTO sqlTableToLoad
SELECT * FROM ::fn_trace_gettable('MytraceFileName', DEFAULT)
Can anyone advise how we could possibly get round this issue as we're running out of space due to the transaction log.
Thanks

I have a database that I am trying to recover space from, it consists mostly of unallocated space, but I can’t seem to get that unused space released.
Database size: 40,245.13 MB
DatafileMB: 38,063.63, DataAvailableMB: 37,085.15
LogfileMB: 2181.51
Sysfiles shows:
fileidgroupidsizemaxsizegrowthstatusperfname
114872144-112820SomeDB
202792332684354561010486420SomeDB_log
The DB is in simple recovery mode. There are no open transactions (used dbcc opentran).
The server is running SQL Server 2014 and the DB is in compatibility mode SQL Server 2008 (100). It was upgraded to 2014 a month or two ago.
I have tried to re-size the log to 100mb, but any way I have tried (none gave errors), the log file remains the same size. I have tied to shrink the log file (through the UI and via DBCC commands) without success; no errors, but also no change in file size.
I have checked Log Reuse Waits, just in case, and as expected it showed “NOTHING” (select log_reuse_wait_desc, name from sys.databases)
I tried running a checkpoint, but that did not allow any resize or shrink to work.
I have tied creating large transactions to move the used point in the log file, in case this was the issue. I did this by creating tables that I drop after large inserts. While it shows me that the log space % used increased, the log file still does not allow the space to be reduced.
The following is what I was using for the transactions to get the log used.
BEGIN TRAN
select a.* into testtable from sysobjects a, sysobjects b, sysobjects c
ROLLBACK TRAN
Each insert creates 93,576,664 rows.
Running dbcc SQLPerf(logspace) :
DBLogSize(MB)LogSpaceUsed(%)Status
SomeDB2181.534.204890
Running dbcc loginfo:

0211437342728192602640
02114373427211437424645701280
Do I just need to continue running large transactions until the log space used gets high enough to get the “end point” in the log to really move? Is there an easier way to accomplish this (I have several DBs that have the almost identical problem), what I am using moves the Log Space Percent Used about a percent on each execution.

Hi All,
I got a job which runs every day this T-SQL code:
BACKUP DATABASE [myDB] TO DISK = N'f:BACKUPSDailymyBKUP.bak' WITH NOINIT , NOUNLOAD , NAME = N'mybackup', NOSKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT
It runs just fine but in append Mode (the default one); the bak file is being taped every night, so I would like to overwrite it, in order it not to become huge after a few time, but I can't seem to find a clear way to do this.
Any help or pointing would be appreciated!

Hi:
This question came to me from a friend and I don't have a lot of details so I apologize in advance. I thought it might be worth a shot to ask here since I couldn't find anything on point in the MS help or KB. A SQL Server 7 database running on an NT 4.0 box is having a full database backup nightly. The backup routine is pretty standard, created using the Maintenance Wizard. It backs up two databases on the server. The problem is that when folks come into work in the AM, the databases are in Single-User mode and someone has to go in and change this. Is this normal behavior? My (admittedly limited) understanding of SQL 7 backups is that they are relatively transparent, and Single User mode is not necessary. You can operate normally other than you can't to any unlogged txn's while the backup is running. They have not done anything explicit to put the databases in Single-user mode when the backup begins. Any ideas how to prevent this from happening? (Or how to automate the switch out of Single-user mode when the backup is completed?)
Thanks!

Hi!
I have a problem with databases that are left in single user mode after transaction log backup.
I have a database maintenance plan job that backs up the transaction log and checks data and index linkage every hour.
Sometimes the job fails and when I look in the report file it says that it has tred to put the database in single user mode and failed because the database is in use and then in the next step it says that it cannot perform the operation because there already is a user in the database.
Why is the database put in single user mode?
What can I do to avoid finding my databases in single user mode?
Below is a part of the report file:

I have a DB, MDF is about 170GB, log 200GB. When I do a restore of it, the backup takes about 20 minutes to get to 100% but then it just stays there in Restoring Mode.
I have specified the WITH RECOVERY option.
What is happening that it doesn't commit the backup for some reason?

Hi,
I have a database that is in the SQL Server 2000 compatability mode on my SQL 2005 server. I am trying to restore a backup of this database on my SQL Server 2000 database on another server and keep getting strange messages. First trying Red-Gate and then plain SQL Server with no luck.
It seems as I remember that the 7.0 and 2000 compatibility issue between backups did not arise when the compatibility mode was set to 7.0.
Is this "planned" behavior or an "undocumented feature"??? Anyone else have success doing this?
Thanks,
John Campbell

My hosting company just "upgraded" to mylittleadmin for SQL, we can no longer connect and manage using enterprise manager or local other tools. I need the ability to connect locally, so I'm changing hosting company. The problem is I need an updated backup to transfer to the new server, even tech-support can't figure out this new "upgraded" system. The only help they offered was try the "dump" command, but that only give me a Incorrect syntax near '20' error. This is what I tried using the online Query Analyser:
dump dbname
dump 20twenty
Any and all help highly appreciated....
Thanks

Hey peeps, n00b here, in WAY over my head.
I have an MS SQL server running in the office, which is used for more than one application - the same server hosts databases for at least two totally seperate applications. One of these databases is called CApplication, and another iscalled CSystem, and these two together support an app called Client.
All I want to do is create CApplication2, which is an exact one-time copy of CApplication. I don't need it to update, or synchronise, or link to any other database, or anything. I want to write an interface for this DB, and I don't want to use the live one.
Do I "detach" then "copy" then "reattach" or something? If somebody could give me some rather lame step-by-step instructions I would really appreciate it - I can take this databasse offline, but I really should try to put it back online as soon as possible, and it is essential that nothing changes in between!
I'm a bit nervous about this, if I break this database I'm a dead man. Thanks guys!

WITH INIT
-- Declare the variable to be used.
DECLARE @MyCounter INT
DECLARE @MySpid INT
DECLARE @MYSQL varchar(50)
-- Initialize the variable.
SET @MyCounter = (SELECT Count(spid) FROM SysProcesses WHERE SysProcesses.dbid =
( SELECT dbid FROM SysDatabases WHERE SysDatabases.name = 'CorporateComplaints2' ))
print'mycounter '+ cast(@MyCounter as varchar (5))
-- Test the variable to see if the loop is finished.
WHILE (@MyCounter > 0)
BEGIN
-- Kill process.
EXEC sp_refreshview ActiveProcessesView
SET @MySpid = (SELECT Min(Spid) FROM ActiveProcessesView)
SET @MYSQL = 'KILL ' + CAST (@MySpid AS Varchar )
EXEC (@MYSQL)
-- Increment the variable to count this iteration
-- of the loop.
SET @MyCounter = @MyCounter - 1
END
GO
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = 'E:MSSQLBACKUPInsight_Dump.BAK'

I thought I would start learning how to backup my SQL Server 2005 database using the simple recovery method. Using the SQL Server Management Studio I started the backup task. In the Back Up Database dialog box the Recovery Model is set to Full and disabled (grayed out). It does not give me the option to switch to the Simple Recovery Model. Is there a setting I need to adjust that will allow me to switch to the Simple Recover Model?

Greetings,
Been lurking for a while, and new to MS-SQL, and didn't see an answer to a question that I have.
Running MS-SQL2000. SP2
Have a need to make a backup of a database at midnight on the last day of the month and to then make that data available to Accounting for end of month reporting.
The easy part was to schedule a full backup to occur at midnight on the last day of the month. The db was backed up to the file name Chorro_MonthEnd.BAK.
I then added to the scheduled job the following T-SQL:
RESTORE DATABASE [Chorro_MonthEnd] FROM DISK = N'D:Data FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLBACKUPChorro_MonthEnd.bak'
The question(s) that I have are:
1) The data in the db Chorro_MonthEnd should be over-written with the data from the restore?
2) Since the Chorro_MonthEnd db exists, is MOVE necessary as part of the restore command? I have been told that if you don't use the MOVE command, it puts the original file names back into wherever directory structure they were backed up from. The concern is that it could overwrite the original db MDF/LDF files.
What we are trying to avoid is having someone from the IS side of the house having to be on-site to restore a db for Accounting. IS type get cranky if they don't get enough sleep :D
Thanks in advance....
Brian

Hi,
I use FULL recovery model, SQL 2005. Is it possible this type of
backup ""change"" my recovery model to SIMPLE. I noticed when I
executed this:
BACKUP DATABSE db_name
TO DISK = 'path'
BACKUP LOG db_name WITH NO_LOG
DBCC SHRINKFILE ('db_name_log', truncateonly)
Now transact log grow very, very, very slow (this is symptom simple
model). But when executed this (different order):
BACKUP LOG db_name WITH NO_LOG
DBCC SHRINKFILE ('db_name_log', truncateonly)
BACKUP DATABSE db_name
TO DISK = 'path'
transact log grow normally
Would somebody explain me this, and tell me first statement change
(theoretically) my model to SIMPLE?
