How does one make a copy of a database (with the data) on the same
server. Would like to do this to use the copy in a test environment. I
looked at the Copy Database Wizard but the instructions in Books Online
state that the database must be copied to another server and cannot be
renamed using this process.
Thank you.
Hi,
first of all escuse my English. I'm new to SQL Server, my experience is with MySQL, Interbase and Firebird, but now I have a new job so I need to use SQL Server, version 2005 Express.
I have two SQL 2005 Express installations in two different machines (local and remote). I can access both servers via SQL Management Studio
I need to do the following:
1) Create a copy of a database with a new name in the same machine (local).
2) Copy the new renamed database to another host (remote)
Please help me, remember I use Express edition.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'm looking to use ActiveX in a DTS to copy a file from on elocation to another.
I have the code for this (attached below kindly supplied by a colleague), so that's cool.
dim filesys
set filesys=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If filesys.FileExists("D:CreditsCredits_MTD.mdb") Then
filesys.CopyFile "D:CreditsCredits_MTD.mdb", _
"C:CreditsCredits_200602.mdb"
End If
But what I'm looking to do is go one step further.
As you can see, it renames the file to yyyymm, but this is hard coded, and I'm looking for a coded solution so I can rename the file with yesterday's date.
Can anybody help me please?

Hi,
I set up DB mirror between a primary (SQL1) and a mirror (SQL2); no witness. I have a problem when I issue command:
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
The error message is:
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy of the database log.
I have the steps below prior to the command. (Note that both servers' service accounts use the same domain account. The domain account I login to do db mirror setup is a member of the local admin group.)
1. backup database DBmirrorTest on SQL1
2. backup database log
3. copy db and log backup files to SQL2
4. restore db with norecovery
5. restore log with norecovery
6. create endpoints on both SQL1 and SQL2
CREATE ENDPOINT [Mirroring]
STATE=STARTED
AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT = 5022, LISTENER_IP = ALL)
FOR DATA_MIRRORING (ROLE = PARTNER)
7. enable mirror on mirror server SQL2
:connect SQL2
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL1.mycom.com:5022';
go
8. Enable mirror on primary server SQL1
:connect SQL1
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
This is where I got the error.
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy

I have a MSSQL 2005 database in current server, since we are going to shift to another server, I need to copy the database to the new server for testing.
Can you please let me know what is the best way to do that? I have tried to use detach and attach, or "back up the database and then restore on the other server.", but seems not working for me. I want step by step instruction since I am pretty new for the DB migration.

Hi,
This should be a relatively simple question (and answer !) :-)
I would like to copy a database from one server to another and have created a backup file of the database in question and copied it to the new server. I then restored the database, no problem.
When I try to create a standard SQL user called 'DBTest' (which was on the original server and had dbo priviledges to the database) it works but as soon as I try to permission this user to the newly restored database I get the error:
"Error 15023: User or role 'DBTest' already exists in the current database"
The user DBTest does not exist in my newly restored database but does exist in the publi role in that database. I am not allowed to delete this user from the public role (option greyed out). Help !!!
Thanks,

Hi all,
I am trying to fly by the seat of my pants here in my current job. I have been labored with the job of Database Admin and I am trying to copy a whole database from one of our main servers (SQL Server 2000) to one of the salesmen's laptops (SQL Server 2000 personal edition) to do demos of our new product. The current size of the database is about 50mb but I can't seem to copy it over without getting lots of errors. I have tried using Enterprise Manager's built-in tools for transfering database or import/export, even DTS and everything gives errors.
Could someone post an easy to follow, step-by-step guide to copying a database from one server to another?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I want to copy a database(in olap) from one server to another. I copied the .cab file and used the restore feature in Analysis Server in Analysis manager. Restore Database progress dialogue box came and it went to the step " Updating DSO" and the program hung. So, I terminated the program, and the next time, I could not connect to my server under Analysis Servers. Any help how I could do that and why this happened?
Thanks in advance,

Hello.
I am fairly new to SQL Server. I have a hosted sql server with unlimited licensing and database has been created on it from outsourced vendor.
I need to create a duplicate database, on same server, different directory, with a different name for development and testing.
I have been told to simply to a backup and restore with MOVE, however in my research I have come across things to be aware of and even errors. I am a newbie dba for small company and I do not want to take chances ruining their current database.
Does anyone have any directions-specific advice?
Your help will be greatly appreciated!
Hi,
I'm new to SQL Server (I've worked with MS Access for several years but am now ready to step up to the next level).
I'm working with SQL Server 2000 - I have a copy of Developers Edition on my XP Pro computer at home and work mostly with shared web hosting accounts that have SQL Server 2000 available on them.
I recently received a database backup file from a client, which I was able to restore using the Query Analyzer and RESTORE. I now have to 'move/export/upload' this database to a shared web hosting account - I've created a 'blank' database on the web server (same name as restored database) and have a username and password.
This is where I'm stuck - how do I get this restored database on my local machine to a web server? Do I do this via the Query Analyzer or some other type of wizard? (I'm not even sure how to 'connect' to the web server database.)
I'm sure I'm not providing enough background, but any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Paul
How can I quickly copy a database including everything (tables,constraints,views...etc) to a different server ? I used a DTS package which is in my opinion a pain. I get so tired of all those constraint restrictions, not allowing me to just drop the tables and replace it. I wish I could just drop the whole database and create a copy from production with a simple command. I know I can go through all the tables and drop the constraints, do the DTS copy and then recreate the constraints, I was just hoping for a method to bypass that part.
Any ideas ?

I am supporting a mssql 6.5, sp 4 application.
We have set up an user acceptance server with a database that is the same as production. However, I have been told that this database and server may be used for applying fixes rather than user acceptance.
To avoid confusion over which database is on which server, it might be a good idea to rename the database. I am not sure if this can be done un der mssql 6.5?
1)Can I rename a database?
2)If so, how can I do so?
Which system tables would I use to update?
Any information you can furnish will be appreciated. THanks.

I created a web application (ASP.Net with a SQL DB backend) using Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition and the bundled SQL Server Express.Everything works perfectly on my local machine.Now I need to upload the application and DB to my hosting provider. My hosting provider suggested I backup the db, upload it with FTP, and they would restore it for me on the production server.However, I can find no option to "Backup" a DB in SQL Server Express or in Visual Studio. Am I missing something?Using Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition and SQL Server Express, how does Microsoft envision us copying our DB's into production?Thanks a lot,Chris

Hi dear devs, admins or users!
Two weeks ago I had a problem with transfering databases from v8 to v9, I placed the question here (original message attached), but I received not the answer which I need. I try to transfer databases with the CDW ("Copy Database Wizard"), which should run through 5 action steps. The process stops after the 'action 2', the step "Create Package" failed allways. The error message which I receive is "Library not registered". I was very surprised, because two weeks ago the process stoped after the action 4 (4/5) while the step "Execute SQL Server Agent Job". I changed nothing on my system or databases. The only thing I can remember is the "Microsoft Update" downloaded and installed a new patch, but it wasn't a SQL Server 2005 update or something with databases.
I have now two questions. What means the error "Library not registered" while the CDW process and what could be the reason for the error in 'action 5' "Execute SQL Server Agent Job" while the CDW process? **(CDW = "Copy Database Wizard")
