Hello to all members.
I am using SQL Server 2005 std edition 32 bit
The database is configured in compatibility mode to sql server 2000
The backup mode for the database is configured as simple

With SQL Server Agent I am running schedule task of the backup script

The question is:

I would like to save only the last 7 days in repository.
This means that when the 8th days has become then the 1st day backup is deleted.
in the 9th day the 2nd day backup file is deleted.
and so on

I am using the the T-SQL BACKUP DATABASE command with the following arguments:
RETAINDAYS = 7
NOFORMAT
NOINIT
SKIP

I am in situation that the command above only append to the backup file and without deleting the expired backup days.

What I need to change in the parameters that the script will delete the expired backup days.

It is too much work when working with Database Maintenance Wizard.
lets take a scenario that I have 10 database.
I would like that each database will backup into seperate file.
I need to create 10 * 7 Maintenance plans.

I have created a directory with the name SDBbackup.
Now under the directory SDBbackup I have created 7 directories (1,2,3,4,5,6,7).
Each directory is for Sunday=1 , Monday=2 , and etc.

It's very much work if I need to accomplish it with Database Maintenance Wizard.

This is why I am asking a specific question regarding T-SQL.

Thanking in advance everyone who assist.

Database And Logfile Growth When Attaching SQL2000 DB To SQL2005

Jun 25, 2007

Can anyone tell me why my SQL2000 database has grown aprox 15 % and my Log file 20,000 % when I attach it to SQL2005 .I've Thousands of Databases to Upgrade, but with the log file increasing to more than the size of the Database Its going to be a struggle !

It also takes a fair ammount of time to attach,

I suspect there is some reindexing going on , as when I try to reattach to SQL 2000 I get index errors ?

Is the re anything I can do in advance to reduce the database growth ?

I know I can truncate the log afterward but the peak diskspace consumed during my Migration may be an issue !



Thanks for any help

Urgent DataBase Restore Logfile Path Error Message

May 8, 2007

I am having difficulty restoring a database (DB_1) with 2 datafiles and one log file, DB Structure is as following:

Filegroup PRIMARY with file name 'fnm_data' with physical file name and location D:dbfile_1.mdf,
Filegroup 'FG1' with file name 'fgnm1_data1' with physical file name and location F:dbfile_FG1.mdf,
One log file with file name 'fnm_log' with physical file name and location (E:loglog_db.ldf)

{Note} Logfile resides on E drive whereas Datafiles reside on several other drives.

I need to restore the DB on another machine. And I need to move the log file to a drive other than E.In this case it is K drive. Hence I have used the following code,

restore log DB_1 from disk='M:kupccciclog.txt'

WITH RESTRICTED_USER , MOVE 'fnm_log'

TO 'K:DBlog_db.ldf', recovery, replace,RESTART

go



When I try to restore from backup files, I keep error message saying "Physical file name E:loglog_db.ldf may be incorrect." 'fnm_log' cannot be restored. Use Move command to identify a valid location for the file.

Even though I am using Move command to move the log file.



Then I found that if I create a drive with E: and a folder named 'log' then restore program runs alright. That is, when E:log exists then code does run smoothly. All the restore code is looking for the presence of path of the log file from where it is been backed up. In this case it is E:log folder. Once the database is restored I could kill that directory and nothing happens. Also log file has been restored on K:DB only.

Why the restore code is looking for the initial drive letter and path even though I have used Move command? Is there an issue in my code?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Can You Backup And Restore Tables That Belong To A Specific Schema

Apr 30, 2008

Hi all,

does anyone know of a way in which you can backup and restore objects that belong to a specific schema?

So in this example, I€™d want to only back up and be able to restore the tables that belong to schema 1, leaving Schema2 stuff alone.

--DB
----Schema1.Table1
----Schema1.Table2
----Schema2.Table1
----Schema2.Table2

Thanks in advance,

Andy.

EDIT: I forgot to add that I want to backup the tables and the data contained within.

BACKUP LOG Cannot Be Performed Because There Is No Current Database Backup. BACKUP LOG Is Terminating Abnormally.

Jan 31, 2008



Hi there

I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.

The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).


Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?

Thanks

Jane

SQL Security :: Full Backup Needed After Restoration Of Database Before Transaction Log Backup

Jul 15, 2015

We take a full backup in the early morning and hourly transaction log back during the working hours for one database in the production server. The application team made certain changes to the design of the said database in their development server. The backup from the development server was restored to the production server during working hours. After the restoration should we take a full backup before next transactional logbackup? Would the transactional log backup with out a full backup after the restoration of a database be valid?

Recovery :: Differential Backup Much Larger Than Database / Full Backup

Nov 16, 2015

I have a database that is just over 1.5GB and the Full backup that is 13GB not sure how this is since we have compression on for full backups and my other full backups are much smaller than there respective databases...Now my full backup is taken every Sunday night and the differentials are taken every 6 hours after the full backup. Now I have been thrown into this DBA role with little to no experience just what I have picked up and read. So my understanding of backups are limited but what I think I understand is that we take a full backup and the differential only captures what changes in the database so my question is why is my database 1.5GB but my differential is 15.4GB? I have others database that are on the same instance and don't seem to have this problem. I also just noticed that we do not rebuild the index before a full backup like we do on other instances...

What If The Logfile(s) Are Lost?

Nov 27, 2000

Hi, maybe someone has some clues to the following situation. Suppose from a SQL 7 database, only the log .ldf files are lost. All datafiles are present. Suppose there is no backup of this database. SQL Server will put the database in the SUSPECT status. The following question is very interesting to me: Can one recover from this situation??? I ask this, because when datafiles are lost, it's obvious that you have lost data, but since the transaction log files are a "bit special", I just wonder how one can survive such a situation.
I know that IF a database has only ONE log file associated with it, and this one log file gets lost, SQL Server will create on startup a new log file. But with multiple log files, it does not behave in this sympathic manner. Is there perhaps any way to recover (for example, an undocumented dbcc command or so) ?
I surely will appreciate any tip or suggestion !! Thanks!!!

How To Restore A Database From Backup With A Splitted Backup File

Apr 1, 2008

I should restore a SQL Server 2005 Database from backup. The backup contains three files, named user.bak0, user.bak1 and user.bak2.

How is the syntax of the restore filelistonly and the restore database ... ?

I usualy write
restore filelistonly from disk = 'path and filenam.bak'
restore database. zy
from disk = 'path and filename.bak'
with replace,
move.....
move....

This works but I cannot use it with a splitted backup file. The files are much too big to put together to one file.

Thanks in advance for any help.

SQL Server 2008 :: Replicate Only Specific Data To Specific Subscriber?

Jun 30, 2015

We have a "main" SQL 2014 server who imports XML files using SSIS in a datacenter. In remote sites (which are warehouses), there is an instance of SQL 2014 Express. A merge replication is setup, as every operations done on each site must be "forwared" to the main database, as some XML files are generated as output for an ERP system.

Now, the merge replication replicate all the data to the server on each sites. But a specific site don't need the data of every other sites, only the data relevant to itself (which is the warehouse code). Is there a way to replicate only the data relevant to each individual sites to the subscribers? Or is there a better way than replication to accomplish this?

Can Logging Be Turned Off On Inserts To A Specific Temp Table From A Specific Sp?

Oct 10, 2007

I want to ship 500,000 aged transactions each night to an archive table and delete them from their source table in one or more logical units of work (LUW). Each row is approx 60 bytes and there is only one non clustered index on the source table presently.

I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons of 3 alternatives. One of them would basically insert the non-aged rows into tempdb, ship the aged records, truncate the table and then insert the tempdb records back into their source all in the same LUW.

For this alternative, I'd at least like to turn off logging when the records get inserted into tempdb as I dont see any value in logging that part of the activity. Is this possible?

Logfile Lost In HDD Crash

Dec 18, 2000

Hi, i am not familiar with MSSQL so maybe it's not as difficult to you as it is to me - in brief:

SQL version: Microsoft SQL Server 7.00 - 7.00.699 (Intel X86)

Errorlog shows:
Starting up database 'CH2'.
Opening file E:CH2DATA1CH2DATA1.mdf.
Opening file E:CH2DATA2CH2DATA2.ndf.
Opening file E:CH2DATA3CH2DATA3.ndf.
File D:CH2LOG1CH2LOG1.ldf does not exist - unable to activate.

Enterprise Manager
Shows database CH2 (suspect)

Executing script:
sp_add_log_file_recover_suspect_db CH2, CH2LOG1, 'D:CH2LOG1CH2LOG1.ldf', 1000
Shows errormessage "The database 'CH2' does not exist."

How can i get a new logfile?
What if i created a new db 'CH2' and then replaced the data files?
What do i have to tell MSSQL to create a new logfile on startup?
All scenarios shown in Books On Line only seem to solve problems
if you do have a logfile and need more space.

Greetings from Switzerland /Lothar

I used the sp_detach and sp_attach_db to specify the paths of the *.MDF and *.LDF. I've tried it through Enterprise Manager and with boths ways I get an error message saying: "Error 9003: The LSN (201:48:2) passed to log scan in database 'DatabaseName' is invalid". Does anyone know what this means and how I can get around this. I've even tried to attach the database with the logfile in the original path and I still get that error. Need Help Please!

The deletes are performed with ordinary SQL-statements "DELETE FROM X WHERE Y = 1 AND Z = 2..."

Thankfull for hints on how to solve this problem.
