Accessing Database In STANDBY Mode While Log Shipping

Jul 31, 2006

Hi,

I am testing with Log shipping, I have it setup and it is working just fine. The secondary database was restored with Standby mode and is readonly. I have no problem accessing and querying data from the secondary database but I noticed if changes are made to the primary and I am accessing the database when the restore step to the secondary runs it fails with the following error:

Message
2006-07-31 09:40:54.33 *** Error: Could not apply log backup file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupLogShipCI_REPLICATION_TEST_20060731131501.trn' to secondary database 'CI_REPLICATION_TEST'.(Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.LogShipping) ***
2006-07-31 09:40:54.33 *** Error: Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use.
RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.(.Net SqlClient Data Provider) ***

This appears to be because you can not restore to a database that is in use? How do you get around this? Is it possible? How do I query data from the secondary db without worrying about causing log shipping to fail? Do I not worry about it because at somepoint when Exclusive access is obtainable all the logs will be rolled forward, but this could create a wide gap in sychronization between the primary and secondary db's, say if someone or something does not properly log off. I guess I could disconnect all users prior to applying tlogs but that kind of defeats the purpse of having it in read only mode so that data can be accessed? Couldn't really depend on it as a stable source of data for running data extracts? I suppose it could all just come down to timing everything in the appropriate sequence? Anyway.....

To sum up:

Is there anyway to access the standby server without causing the restore process to fail?

Both the Primary and Secondary are SQL 2K5.

Thanks!

SQL 2012 :: Grant Read-only Access To Windows Logins On Remote Standby Database

Mar 23, 2015

We log ship our production database tansaction logs to a secondary database on a separate remote domain.

Incidentally, this was not set up via the "Ship Transaction Logs" wizard, but instead we had to use the various system stored procedures after restoring a copy of the database on the remote domain in standby mode.

We now have an issue where users are unable to access the remote secondary database without having sysadmin privileges. Clearly we want to avoid this!

We want to be able to use Windows Authentication mode on the server of the secondary database. But since the two domains differ, is it possible to even achieve this?

How can we set up read-only access for users on the secondary database without giving them sysadmin privileges?

Log Shipping (Standby Mode) And Assembly

Nov 11, 2007

Hi all,

I have a question about log shipping and assembly on the secondary server. I have configured log shipping to the secondary server and the secondary server in standby/read-only mode. I have test everything for reading from that database on the secondary server; and all ended with great seccess, except for assembly.

My assembly simply turn bytes into text or the other way using UTF-8 encoding, nothing serious, and I have checked that assembly on both server have the same thing every where. However, I continue getting the error:

Msg 10314, Level 16, State 11, Line 1
An error occurred in the Microsoft .NET Framework while trying to load assembly id 65574. The server may be running out of resources, or the assembly may not be trusted with PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS or UNSAFE. Run the query again, or check documentation to see how to solve the assembly trust issues. For more information about this error:
System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'asp.clr, Version=2.5.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9ed52bcb68360e98' or one of its dependencies. Assembly in host store has a different signature than assembly in GAC. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131050)
System.IO.FileLoadException:
at System.Reflection.Assembly.nLoad(AssemblyName fileName, String codeBase, Evidence assemblySecurity, Assembly locationHint, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean throwOnFileNotFound, Boolean forIntrospection)
at System.Reflection.Assembly.InternalLoad(AssemblyName assemblyRef, Evidence assemblySecurity, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean forIntrospection)
at System.Reflection.Assembly.InternalLoad(String assemblyString, Evidence assemblySecurity, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean forIntrospection)
at System.Reflection.Assembly.Load(String assemblyString)

I have tested this assembly on the secondary in a read-write database, and it works fine. I can see both assembly sharing the same same thing ...

Is there a limitation for read-only database on assembly using?

Thanks

Impact On Replication When A Server Goes Into Standby Mode

Sep 1, 2007

We have the following scenario:
Server A replicates Database A to Server B.
Server C has Database A on it as well, but in standby mode. We are applying the transaction logs generated by Database A on Server A to the database on Server C leaving it in standby mode each time.

Let's say we had planned maintenance for Server Aand dumped the last set of transactions on Server A in standby mode to be applied to to Server C. What happens to the replica on Server B? When I start to use Server C, can I backup its transactions and apply them to Server A, and then have those transactions replicated to Server B? And then what do I do when the maintenance is complete so that I can swithc back to Server A and have the replication continue on as before the maintenance to Server B?

Thanls

EXEC sp_dboption 'test', 'read only', 'FALSE' by doing this i'm getting this
Changes to the state or options of database 'test' cannot be made at this time. The database is in single-user mode, and a user is currently connected to it.
And when i tried on Enterprise Manager it is saying

I cross checked and confirmed that it is not in single-user mode and no one is connected to the database!!
Any help is greately appreciated.

Newbie Query - Replicate To Hot Standby And How To Enable The Hot Standby For Access

Nov 14, 2007



I've been reading a million and one posts on replication

My scenario is that i have a live SQL 2000 server. In a DR invokation, i'e i've lost my live sever, i want to be able to access the same data at the DR (SQL 2000) site and have it accessable to the users. DR server has a different name to the live box.

Replicate

Master
CRMDatabase

Data changes all the time but can have hourly replication of transaction logs for this example. I've currently researched a sp called update logons but this has to be fed each account name to enable them on the new server. There must be a way to activate all CRMDatabase logons with the new server?

Could someone be kind enough to lead me through a step by step guide on the best solution.


Thanks a lot

Connecting In Read-only Mode

Feb 18, 2008

I posted this as a reply to another thread but then noticed it was marked as 'Answered' so i figured I'll create a new one.

This is a known issue (i guess) that you need to have write access to the database your connecting to but I actually want to know how to connect to a database with read only permissions. This should not be that rare of a case where you only want to read something without writting to it. I have a system where users can connect to other databases and "import" data from there but if the user doesn't have write access or the file is read only I get an exception.

Any idea how I can connect in read-only mode?

Thanks!

Databases Starting Up In Read-only Mode.

Jul 25, 2000

Hi,

About a month ago, a couple of our databases started up in read-only mode for some reason. I am the new DBA on the job, and the error logs from a month ago are not present.

I was wondering if anyone has had a problem where a SQLServer 7.0 database did this to them? We restart our DBs each day using scripts, so it is odd that this happens only intermittently (no one has seen a pattern at this point).

Any information would be muc appreciated!

Thanks,

Serializable Read And Lock Mode

Jul 20, 2005

Hi,Version Info: SQLSERVER 2000 SP3I am trying to understand how SQL Server works with SERIALIZABLE read.I am fairly new to SQL Server, having mainly worked with Informix.We are getting lock timeout error in our application. Our lock timeoutis set to 20 seconds. I am trying to investigate why locks are held forsuch a long time in the first place.I believe SQLServer tries to put keylocks as much as possible forensuring serializibility. For e.g.SELECT column_bfrom table_awhere column_c between 1000 and 1100what if column_c has no index. Does it switch over the data row.And what if a table has no index. Will it go for table lock, as ituse to do in earlier versions.TIA.--email id is bogus

Query Executes Faster In Grid Mode Than In Text Mode!!

Mar 9, 2000

Hello,everyone!!

There is a query which when executed in the grid mode(ctrl+d) takes approx 0.02 seconds(about 21,000
rows) But when I execute in the text mode, it takes about 0.40 seconds!!
Why is this difference?
Also, when the records from this table are read from a VB application, they are equally slow (as in the text mode!)
Why is it so slow on the text mode & relatively faster in the grid mode?
Has anyone got any idea on ‘Firehose’ style cursor ?(which may speed up access of data in the VB application)

Rgds,
Adie

Failed To Update Database C:INETPUBWWWROOTAPP_DATAASPNETDB.MDF Because The Database Is Read-only.

Mar 4, 2006

I'm new to ASP.NET (I normally work with Windows Forms) and have installed the Club Website Starter Kit. I created an Administrators role and a user called "admin". When I run the project locally, everything works as it should - I can log in as admin and I can create new users.
I then copied the site to localhost (C:Inetpubwwwroot), but when I run the site from localhost, I can't log in (as admin or any other user); instead I get a message that says, "Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again."
Also, I can't create a new user. When I try, I get the following error:

Failed To Update Database C:INETPUB... Because The Database Is Read-only.

Hi there,I am getting a real problem with ASP.NET 2.0, all i am trying to do is run a recovert password (using the login controls) and i got the following error.Does anybody know how to fix this? I have tried the SSEUTIL answer here and it didn't work. http://forums.asp.net/909168/ShowPost.aspxI also ensured that Network Services user has READ/WRITE/EXECUTE premissions on the directory below and that each file isn't read only and also that it inherits ACL from the directory which it seems to do..Bit of strange one this, it isn't created (and i am not using) a beta version of VS 2005 Pro... but a full retail version.The PC is the local PC with IIS 5.1 and VS installed... it is the one i am using for developing.. I don't need to copy my files to the IIS directory below as that is where i have created it and open it in VS 2005 from there..I did read that if you use IIS 5.1 then the user should be ASPNET ... but i don't seem to have that use but a Network Services user...Any help or guidance would be really appreciated... i have come to a stop stage and can't get any further..Thanksian
