How Do I Determine The Backup Date Of A Restored Database..?

Feb 1, 2007

Hi All,

I have to a few backups restored from a set of backup files. The
backup files have been removed from the drive because of some storage
constrains...

For some data comparison reasons, I need to figure out the actual date
of these backup files that is used to restore these databases. Is
there any system table I can query to figure the actual backup times
of these databases...

Any help will be much appreciated.. Thanks in advance.

SQL2005 Cannot Backup A Restored SQL2000 Database With Unknow Database Full-text Catalog Database

Nov 15, 2007



We replicate a SQL2000 database (DataBaseA) to a SQL2000 database (DataBaseB) by using the Restore function and hasn't change its logical name but only the physical data path and file name. It is running fine for a year. We use the same way to migrate the DataBaseB to a new SQL2005 server with the Restore function and the daily operation is running perfect. However, when we do the Backup of DatabaseB in the SQL2005, it just prompt the error message


System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of full-text catalog 'DataBaseA' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)


Please note we left the DataBaseA in the old SQL2000 server.


Please help on how we can delete the Full-text catalog from DatabaseB so we can do a backup


Many Thanks

Determine Date Database Was Last Used ?

Jun 15, 2006

Hi There

I am trying to establish the date a database was last used.

At first i checked out sp_helpfile and sysfiles to see if there was a date last modified, i also tried using xp_cmdshell to check the date on the actual .mdf or .ldf on the o/s but if the file has not grown the date will be the create date.

I need to establish the date a database was last used, either the last time someone logged into it or the last time any sort of command was run against the database, i cannot use sysprocesses as there are no connections to the database, so i need to determine the last time there actually were any processes run against this database.

And i need to use tsql, checking audit logs etc is not viable, can anyone help ?

Thanx

What Are The Gotcha's When Using Publisher Backup Restored To Subscriber?

Apr 24, 2007

According to BOL, you can initialize a transactional subscriber by restoring the Publisher's backup to the Subscriber DB. But any timestamp columns must be converted to binary(8) and indexed views must be converted to tables. But are there other things you must do? What about identity columns? Triggers?



Thanks

Restored SQL 2000 Backup, Stored Procedures Don't Work

May 6, 2006

Hello
I have restored a SQL 2000 backup of my database, ever since my web applications are unable to use any of the stored procedures.
I get the following error:
Could not find stored procedure 'xxx'.

If I use enterprise manager and go to the procedures tab the procedure appears there.

Any ideas what is up?

PS: The username has been changed, before the backup it was "user1" now its something else. For some reason it still shows that the procedure object is owned by "user1". Could this be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

I missed the ability to restore based on a time (10/23 6pm) due to our purge cycle in our production environment, but I was able to obtain the 10/18 full backup, the 10/23 differential backup, and the 4, 10/23 trans. log backups.  I moved all the fore mentioned files to a staging environment, and now I am trying to restore all of the files to 10/23 6pm and I get :

Service Broker Not Working For Restored Databases (SQL 2000 Databases Restored On 2005)

Jan 24, 2006

I just restored my SQL server 2000 database on the SQL server 2005. after this i ran the Service broker sample ("Hello World") on this database by changing the AdventureWorks name to the new database name. The "setup.sql" runs fine. When i run the "SendMessage.sql" i was not getting any rows in the output (The message was not getting inserted into the queue). I checked the Service broker is enabled on this databased using the query "select is_broker_enabled from sys.databases where name = 'newdbname' " It was 1. I even tried the ALTER DATABASE SET ENABLE_BROKER. but it didnt work.

When i tried the sample on a newly created database it worked fine.

Is there any solution to make the restored database to work for service broker.

Thanks

Object Permissions On Restored Database

Dec 7, 2007

Hi,

I have recently restored a backup of a SQL Server 2000 Database (from my production server €“ which is a shared hosting service) on my dev machine so I can do some testing. The issue I am having is with the permission of objects. Some of the objects were created with the dbo user and some with another login (myLogin). The ones that were created with dbo work fine on my dev machine. The others do not work unless I prefix them with €œmyLogin€?€¦ I get an €œInvalid object name€? if I don€™t prefix them. This is problematic because there are hundreds of stored procs and tables that I would need to modify in order to use them on my dev machine.

Can anyone tell me how to create a new user with the necessary permissions so I can execute my procs and access tables without having to prefix them?

Hope this makes sense €“ please let me know if it doesn€™t.

Thanks,

Mike

Asymmetic Key Recovery On A Restored Database

Mar 31, 2008

Hi
I have an sql server 2005+sp2 instance and a db on it.
I have create a database master key (specifying a password so it WILL NOT get encrypted by the server master key) on my database and backed it up

CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'test'
go
BACKUP MASTER KEY TO FILE = 'c:Genesis_DBMasterKey.key' ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'test'


Then I have created a asymmetic key without specifying a password therefore the key will get encrypted bt the database master key.

CREATE ASYMMETRIC KEY card WITH ALGORITHM = RSA_512


And then for test I run

DECLARE @Encryptvalasym varbinary(MAX)
SET @Encryptvalasym = EncryptByAsymKey(AsymKey_ID('card'), 'EncryptedData')
SELECT @Encryptvalasym
SELECT CONVERT(varchar(max),DecryptByAsymKey(AsymKey_ID('card'),@Encryptvalasym) )


And the result is OK.

Problem: as a recovey plan if I restore the database on the same or other instance (althogh the asymmetic key is part of backup) the decrypt doesn€™t work.
I have tried to create a bank database restore tha databse master key and recreate the asymmetric key, but I€™m afraid I€™m still not having any luck with it, as it does not decrypt.

My main issue is that is any case if I have to recover the database , how do I have to make sure that encryption/Dycription will work?
Thanks

Aug 23, 2007

We have a log shipping database running on SQL 2000 ENT SP4, the secondary DB is in standby/read only mode . we have a job that runs every day to take it offline, make a copy of the files and attach them as a new database for reporting purposes.

We're planning to upgrade to SQL 2005 however, when we copy the Standby/read only database files and attach using "CREATE DAABASE FOR ATTACH" we get :

msg 1284
Cannot attach a database that was being restored.


this works in SQL 2000 but not SQL 2005, is there a way to force attach the DB ?


Thanks.

Determine Value Based On Two Separate Date Columns

Jun 20, 2014

This is the logic I need to incorporate in to sql

if the getdate() < term start date then R
if the getdate() > term date date and getdate() < term end date then C
if the getdate() > term end date then H

I have come up with the following type of case statement that will allow me to determine the first two values (to a degree), however , I need to evaluate the end date as well.

Is there a way to look at multiple columns in a case statement?

CASE
WHEN DATEDIFF(DD,GETDATE(),TRM_BEGIN_DTE) >0 THEN 'R' else 'C' end

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

Problem: I can add 4 items to a SQL 7.0 database but I need to redirect the user if all 4 items exist in the same Record elsewhere in the Database.

Clearly I need some kind of statement like "if category1 = var1 AND category2 = var 2 AND..." but don't know where to put it.

Code:

strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblUserQuarter"

Set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
objRS.Open strSQL, objConn,adOpenStatic , adLockOptimistic

'Insert choices from report.asp into tblUserQuarter
objRS.AddNew
objRS("cboFY") = Request.Form("cboFY")
objRS("Quarter") = Request.Form("Quarter")
objRS("ID") = Request.Form("ID")
objRS("Report") = Request.Form("Report")
objRS.Update

objRS.Close
Set objRS = Nothing
objConn.Close
set objConn = Nothing
