How To Automate A Backup On SQL2005 Express
Nov 8, 2005
I am currently using MSDE as the Db for a website and using (cheating?)
enterprise manager i have created and scheduled a backup job that the
agent runs.
Now I am wanting to upgrade the Database to SQL2005 Express but I want
to have a similar scheduled backup job. From the reading of the
OLBs it appears I have to manually create a script but I don't know how
to schedule the running of the script.
So my questions are:
1. How do you schedule the running of a back up script in SQL Express? and,
2. Is there a tool that automates the creation of a script similar to how you do it in the old Enterprise manager?
TIA
Antony

I have a SQL backup that I created on SQL 2005 but need to restore it on a SQL 8.0 SP4 installation. I receive an error when I try to restore it. The error is :
Error 3169: The backed up database has on-disk structure version 611. The server supports version 539 and cannot restore or upgrade this database. RESTORE FILELIST is terminating abnormally.
Any ideas?

Heya all,
Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, etc., please point me in the right direction if it has 'cos I couldn't find it!
Right, we have a mirrored database with full safety and a witness for automatic fail over, all works fine, very impressed with it. Now I need to backup the database involved and this is where I could do with some help and answers and/or tips.
As the mirror database is off-line/recovering it seems you can't back that one up, but I'd like to have something that tries to back it up for if/when it fails over and becomes the primary. The solution I've used for now is to write a small .Net application that uses the client side fail over connection string (Data Source=Server1;Failover Partner=Server2) so that it connects to whatever system is currently the primary, and then issues the relevant 'BACKUP xxx' statements to backup the database.
This applications is launched from a windows scheduled task job on the hour (or near to it), every hour. At 06:00 it does a full backup, at 12:00, 18:00 and 00:00 it does a differential backup, and all other times it does a transaction log backup.
This all seems to work fine so far, and generates all the relevant backup files to a share on another server.
So, my main question is; does this look like a good plan? Am I missing some really simple wizard or button that would backup the relevant database from whatever server is up?
Secondly, are the backups from each server interchangeable as they're in a mirrored configuration? That is, for example, the backup application (on the hour) connects to Server1 does a full back up, followed later by a log backup. Server1 then dies, so the next time the backup application runs it connects to Server2 and because of the current time does a log backup from Server2. If we had to restore from backups, could we use the full backup and log from Server1, followed by the log from Server2? Otherwise I'll guess I'll need to modify the logic for the backup application to detect it's failed over, and maybe do a full backup on Server2, or something like that.
Anyway, thanks for any help/advice/tips,
Gareth/OhGod

I recognize that this question borders on blasphemy but I am curious as to whether there is a version of sql2005 express for the mac platform. Would like to keep a compatible local instance of 2005 on my mac notebook.

Hello, can I run the express edition on my desktop and test web site with it, but then deploy the same app to my webhost and have it use SQL2005 standard? (They don't support the express edition.)
I'm new to SQL2005 and am curious. In fact, I still don't totally understand if express is installed or just a file like access. :)
Thanks!

Hello, I hope I am posting this question in the right forum. I have been working on some ASP applications and using them to connect to a MySQL database. I would like to move all of the data from MySQL over to SQL2005 Express. The problem is that the express version doesn't offer an import/export tool for CSV files. I am able to export my table data from MySQL to a CSV file, how can I import this data into my SQL2005 Ex database? Thanks.

We are coming out of the dark ages with our app using SQL 7 and, following the excellent advice of the folks here on SQLTeam, installing SQL 2005 Express on our new webserver.
Not being terribly fluent in all things SQL, I was wondering if anybody could provide input on the best practices for getting SQL 2005 Express going on the new server.
So far I've:
- Installed SQL 2005 Express
- Downloaded and "installed" the SSEUtil for CMD line instructions
- Downloaded and installed the graphical management interface (very nice, makes me feel more comfortable - like SQL 7 console!)
- Copied backup files (made using SQL backup maintenance) to the new server
Should I simply create an empty db of the same name on the 2005 server and then restore the 7 data? Or ????
I searched briefly for previous posts of this nature and didn't find too much info so I hope I'm not duplicating effort here...
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Mmmmmkay. Yeah, did you get the memo about the TPS reports?

Hi,
I have an aplication (VS2005 and Sql2005 Express), where I need to lock a table when opening one form, and then close it when completing another form.
Is there a way to do this, maybe using a Stored Procedure.? I'd prefer to be still able to access the table in read only mode if possible.
I've looked at pessimistic concurrency, but the particular part of my application is not using a dataset, being based upon SqlCommand.ExecuteScalar(), so I'm fairly sure this is not an option.
Thanks

Excuse the cross post (to VBexpress fourum) but maybe someone here will have a different take?
have searched all around can't seem to see how to configure a SQL2005 developer ed so I can use vb express to develop a local front end. keep getting "the user instance login flag is not supported on this version of sql server" I have configured the .net framework via aspnet_regsql.exe. Also I configured the "Machine.config" file. but so far no luck.
Selecting sql2005 as the server thru the add new database connection in advanced area yields the error message
surely there is away.
So far still no joy,
While Scotty indicates that the connection to SQL2005 is intentionally hampered other posters indicate that the user instance problem can be solved by running the .net config tool to add the asp database to sql server, which I have done.
However this does not yet work.
I cannot get the code to spark yet.
Again my configuration cannot be any simpler. sql express sp1 and sqldeveloper on the same machine using windows security (all installed with default cofigurations)
In the absence of other ideas I may try to get sql express downloaded and going, I'm not sure what issues that will present re: what I'm trying to develop.
I'm trying to develop the skills to replace some fairly involved reporting and some user table interface that I had going in access2003, I hate to pruchace a big piece of sw when I don't know if it will remove the current roadblocks...
Appreciate the help here, but doesn't someone have a "simpler" complete answer? I.e. one that would get the developer database to accept the connection wizard? (user instance issue)

I recently come to problem. I want to deploy my web site, which uses SQL2005EE extensively, so I began searching for host, SHARED HOSTING solution. I haven't find one offering SQL2005EE on .NET2.0 final frameworkI have been told that there isn't ONE host which would offer SQL2005EE on Final .NET2.0 shared hosting, that it is illegal! Only if the shared host provided is free, which is insufficient in my needs (free hosts have low trafic/disk space etc).Is it true? If I pay for hosting, I can't have SQL2005EE as an option in their hosting plan? Just SQL2005 full as an option? This way I need to pick up some expensive shared hosting plan?How you ppl solved this problem?

Hi,
I have a problem to connect to SQL2005 Express Database with VC++ as regular user, not window system administrator.(If i login as window system admin, everything's working fine.)
A. I tried to use SQL2005 Express Server authentication, the error msg is:
Code= 80004005 €śunspecified error€? Cannot open database ***, login failed.
1. I am using Server authentication with username and password.
2. Gave all the permission of Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1 and Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2 to this regular window user.
3. Connection String is:
Provider=SQLNCLI;Initial Catalog=***; User ID=***;Password=***;Data Source=***;Persist Security Info=False;Integrated Security=SSPI;
B. I tried to use Window authentication by adding User Instance, but the error is:
Code= 80004005 €śunspecified error€? MS Native Client
Description = Invalid connection string attribute.
Connection String is:
Provider=SQLNCLI;Initial Catalog=***; Data Source=***;Persist Security Info=False;User Instance=True;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFileName=directory***.mdf;
Any idea? Thanks.

Hi,
I'm trying to migrate a MSDE based application into a SQL2005 Express SP2 DB Engine on Windows Vista Business but I'm facing several errors that are blocking me.
Since the installation of SQL2005 Expr. must be done in a silent mode (the end user shouldn't set anything), I'm installing it using this syntax:
SQLEXPRSP2_ITA.EXE -q /norebootchk /qb reboot=ReallySuppress addlocal=all instancename=CSERV DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 SQLBROWSERAUTOSTART=1 SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" SQLBROWSERACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" AGTACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" ASACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" RSACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM"
The installation proceeds without problems but when my program tries to create the database, a message error appears:
CREATE DATABASE denied on database 'master' (I translated directly from italian).
What I would like is to install SQL 2005 with "Windows Authentication" access instead of "SQL Authentication".
If I install SQL2005 manually by setting a named instance (CSERV), Windows Authentication mode, activating the option "set the local account as SQL administrative account" (translated from italian and suggested with Vista) I get the following error (read from the LOG):
CREATE FILE encountered operating system error 5 (access denied) while attempting to open or create the physical file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerCSERVDataCGIDBDat.mdf'
CSERVData is the folder that the application creates and where the "mdf" and "ldf" files are stored.
So in the first case it seems that SQL2005 don't recognize the local account as administrator even if the user has administrative privileges (at least for Vista), in the second case is Vista that is blocking the action.
What is the solution??
Thank you and regards.
Roberto G.

I am running SQL Server 2005 x64 Enterprise under Windows 2003 x64 Enterprise. My current backup strategy uses T-SQL jobs run by SQL Agent (writes out *.bak files) and then I have an Integration Services job that copies the *.bak files to our NAS device. I have performed a restore without issue. The jobs are all automated every four hours via SQL Agent. Is this a sound strategy or are there additional benefits to using 3rd party tools? If so, what are the advantages and which tool provides them?

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

I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.
Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:
Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them. But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?
Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?
Help pls?

I just upgraded my SQL 2000 server to SQL2005. I forked out all that money, and now it takes 4~5 seconds for a webpage to load. You can see for yourself. It's pathetic. When I ran SQL2000, i was getting instant results on any webpage. I can't find any tool to optimize the tables or databases. And when I used caused SQL Server to use 100% cpu and 500+MB of ram. I can't have this.Can anyone give me some tips as to why SQL 2005 is so slow?

I have downloaded and installed VS C# Express Orcas beta 1. It appears that Express editons ov VS can only connect to SQL2005 Express and not to a high end edition which I have on my computer. In one of the Orcas forums, it was suggested that I can install SQL2005 Express side by side my high end SQL 2005. To play it safe, I wanted to get a confirmation from this forum before I do that. Is a side-by-side installation ok? thanks.
