How To: Enable Log Shipping (SQL Server Management Studio)
Apr 28, 2008
I am following the instructions laid out in the MSDN article
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190640.aspx
and am finding results that are confusing me. The primary server's database's log-shipping settings is set to copy the Transaction Log backups to a UNC share on the secondary server. The secondary server does not have an instance of the backup database yet, so I specify "Yes, generate a full backup of the primary database and restore it into...." in the Initialize Secondary Database tab.
Under the Copy Files tab, i make the secondary server additionally copy the original log file location (e.g. \secondarylogship - d:logship) to another extra location (e.g. d:logship
estore).
When the processed is kicked start, it appears to report everything is successful. However the primary database properties show that "Enable this as a primary database in a log shipping configuration" is checked off. There is no SQL Server Agent job to back up its Transaction logs. Over at the secondary server, there are the three expected Copy, Restore, and Alert SQL Server Agent jobs. The resultant database is in a perpetual Restoring... state and nothing can be done to it.
I also noticed the Restore job ran before the Copy job when i checked the Job History of those jobs. I would have thought Copy should be done before attempting a Restore.
Can anybody explain what behaviour is being observed here? Thanks.
I have recently installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express but I do not find Management Tools in order to create scheduled backups and shrinking of the databases. I was under the impression that this should be included in the Management Studio. I use the SQL 2005 Express for smaller customers who run the SQL on a desktop unit. I need a way to backup the data to a server machine for backup purposes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.
I have a database in my "App_Data" folder of my visual studio project. I can view it fine in Visual Studio's built-in tools for managing a database attached to a solution. However i recently started playing around with the SQL Server Management Studio Express program. When i attach my database to Management Studio, and try to run my program it crashes. I think it might be a permissions error?!? When i detatch it and reattach it in visual studio it runs fine again. Any suggestions? ThanksJason
I am new to visual studio and I am still not sure of all its components and features.
I installed visual studio 2005 standard edition but cannot find SQL Server Management Studio?
I guess this must be because it is not included with Visual studio 2005 standard. Is it included with VS 2005 professional?
I want to add pictures of products to my shopping site using an SQL database and I’ve been told that SQL Server Management studio is required as it is a graphical tool.
How would I go about obtaining the SQL server management studio. There seems to be different versions of SQL server that it is confusing to know which one to purchase.
Will the SQL server 2005 version that comes with Visual studio standard be sufficient for me now right? I want to create a shopping site with hundreds, perhaps even thousands of products. I want to use an SQL server 2005 database. The database will include ‘dynamically generated’ product images if that is the correct terminology.
My goodness, it seems I still have so much to learn.
How do i get the database that i am using in visual studio into my SQL server management studio? i need to create some scripts to create stored procedures on a live server.
I have SQL server 2005 developer edition installed on my machine. I was expecting something like Enterprise manager to manage databases but nothing is installed by default. Ive found SQL server management studio express and installed it, but Ive also seen references to SQL Server Management Studio. Are there any differences between the two , or are they the same and are just described differently ?? Im a bit confused, Microsoft should make this clear.
Hey everyone, Would someone please tell me why the new SQL Server Managment Studio comes with hardly not frills? What happened to the SQL Enterprise Manager in SQL Server 2000? It had DTS, SQL Agent Job and step viewing, Cool Wizards.. All that great stuff. but with this new Sql Server Management Studio with 2005 all I can do is pretty much look at the data and write queries and create and modify tables. Am I missing something? I did download an external tool which was called an import/export wizard but it sucks compaired to the DTS in SQL 2000. I did notice when I open my Sql Server Management Studio "Express" that it is the Express version... Is there a difference? Thanks for any help.
i have SQL Server 2005 dev edition and i wanted to use SQL Server Management Studio so is it installed or i need to install the SQL Server Management Studio express edition ??? thx
I have installed SQL Server Management Studio (for SQL2005) to a pc. When the user boots the pc, the following error is received:
fmaagent.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services Application has generated an exception that could not be handled. Process id =0x328 (808), Thread id=0x32c (812).
Click Ok to terminate the application. Click CANCEL to debug the application.
After clicking on OK, the pc continues on its merry way and boots up successfully.
Does anyone know what would cause this error? I have checked the Microsoft site but did not find this error listed among the documents.
Good Afternoon! I installed SQL Server Express 2005 but the GUI is not visible. Someone can tell me how to install it or where I can find the executable.

Can I set a passport protection to a database (once I am connected to the SQL Server on my own machine) from not opening/browsing/stop even read access?
(I want something like log in authentication before I open/browse/double click on any database to expand basically)
I installed SQL 2005 in a few server but none of them have SQL Server Management Studio. Where to find out them? I checked c:...inn, there is now VSShell folder.
I have the "Ready to Launch" package, which includes Vidual Studio 2005 Standard Edition, SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and something else called BizTalk Server 2006.
Anyway, Visual Studio is spread across two CD's and I have installed that. I now want to use the SQL Server Management Studio to administer a database I have running on a website. Anyway, SQL Server is on a DVD and when I put it into the drive it comes up with the autorun screen. I noticed that in the top left corner of this screen it says "SQL Server 2005 (Disc 1 of 2). However, there is no second disc, so I'm wondering if this is a problem or just a typo left over from the CD version.
There is two options in the menu under Install, "Server Components, tools, Books Online, and samples" and "Run the SQL Native Client Installation Wizard." I have tried both of these options and I still don't have the SQL Server Management Studio. In fact if I select the first option, when I get half way through the wizard, it asks what components I want installed. I cannot see any reference to the SQL Server Management Studio in this list, so I just select everything to be sure.
Once it has finsihed installing, all it does is create a Start Menu folder called "Microsoft SQL Server 2005" and another folder inside that called "Configuration Tools." This folder just contains a few things like configuration manager and surface area configuration, etc...
So where do I find this SQL Server Management Studio? Have I done something wrong or am I missing something (like a second disc)? I'm installing on to Windows XP, would that cause the problem? Do I need to be installing on to some sort of server OS (which I don't have BTW as I'm just a regular user looking for a way to administer my MS SQL database and I heard this tool was the way to go)?
I have just completely installed MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition in MS Server 2003. After installation, I only have the Configuration Manager, Error and Usage Reporting and Surface Area Configuration, listed under Configuration Details.
SQL Server Management Studio is not accessible anywhere. I also do not have the folder C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsBinnVSShell in which the SQL Server Management Studio is installed. What must I do to get this component installed?
In this article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143219.aspx, it is also written in step 8 that there should be a "Components to Install" page. I have done the installations and uninstallations a few times, but I still do not have "Components to Install" page. In fact, after step 7, I am brought to the "Features Selection" page.
When attempting to start the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio from the Start Menu on my Windows 2003 SP1 server, I quickly get the error, "The Application failed to initialize properly (0x80000003). click on OK to erminate the application. I am accessing the server from my Windows XP Workstion using Timbuktu Pro Remote control software. I have no problem attaching to the SQL Server database on this server when connecting to it from my Workstation install of Management Studio. The SQL Server Business Intelligence Studio launches fine in the Timbuktu session as does SQL Server Configuration Manager. The Configuration manager shows all services (for both my Default and Named Instance) in the Running state.
In 2005 Query Analyzer no longer exists and the query is integrated with management studio. I have some users that want to query the database but I don' t want these users to have the ability to use anything else in the Management Studio - restore databases, detach, etc. Anyone have any ideas how this might be done? Thanks.
I have the Express version but now need the full tool set. I've been looking for the last half hour on Microsoft.com and elsewhere, and can find absolutely anything I could want to know about the program except how to purchase it. I feel kind of stupid, but I have to ask: where the hell do you buy this thing?? :-)
I've install SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Evaluation Edition but the Management Studio was not installed. Is this normal? If yes how can I get the Management Studio
I just had to do a total restore on one of my machines that has a copy of SQL Server 2005. Luckily, this is not the production server. But when I reinstalled SQL Server, I now do not have the option to get into SQL Server Management Studio. Why would this be?
Everything seemed to install okay - including Reporting Services.
I just installed Server Management Studio Express, but there is an error when I run the application. This is the message:
"Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.
Cannot create a stable subkey under a volatile parent key."
And there is also an error when I try to open a file from my local machine. The error occurs when I click File > Open > File... The error cause the application has to close. See this link below: SQL Error.
Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me here! A friend of mine set up a Windows 2003 Server for me in my home with Sql Server 2005. I'm developing a website for prospective employers to see the kinds of things I can program since I have no field-related work experience. I have a cool site up, but I can't showcase the any features that use sql server (which obviously, are the kinds of things employers want to see) because the login and password my friend remembers produces this error:Cannot connect to server. Additional information:An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to sql server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings sql server doesn't allow remote connections,(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40-could not open a connection to sql server)(Microsoft sql server, Error:2)My friend doesn't know how to fix this. Is there a way to create another login with admin rights in the command prompt so that I can login & get my database functionality going? Thanks in advance,Monster
Prior to 2005 I was able to right click on a table and either "SELECT TOP" or "QUERY" and then it would open an editable table results. in 2005 it only has OPEN TABLE. If the table has a million records it proceedes to open all million records. Is there a way to do the old "SELECT TOP" or "QUERY" in 2005 like the onld version 2000. The "NEW QUERY" option only returs an uneditable result set. This was convienient when I just wanted to make a quick update to a table. I have found that if I use OPEN TABLE a small table, Right click on the results and select PANE,SQL I get what I am looking for however then I have to change the select to get the results. Very Tedious. Also when I do a SELECT * in this view it changes the * to all of the column names. I then have to delete all of these and change it back to an * when I select another table. another tedious process. Any advice would be helpful.. Just trying to adapt to the new Database/interface Thanks in advance.
