How To Copy A Database From A Server To A Laptop

View 4 RepliesI have a new Windows 8.1 64-bit machine onto which I have installed everything that I had on my previous Windows 7 machine. Occasionally I like to use the Copy Database Wizard in SQL 2012 to create a copy of a database on my stand-alone laptop before I begin a new stage of development on it. However, I have failed to run it successfully on my new Windows 8 laptop, despite everything apart from the operating system being identical to my Windows 7 machine, on which I never encountered a problem.
do not suggest using backup instead of the Copy Database Wizard, as if something has worked for me perfectly for 15 years I would like to know why it does not work now. The error message that I receive is shown at the end of this message.
The log-on accounts for SQL Server Agent and SQL Server Integration Services 11.0 are NT ServiceSQLSERVERAGENT and NT ServiceMsDtsServer110 respectively, as they were on my Windows 7 machine. All services are running. Why I receive the error stating, "Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow" for every database that I have tried to copy, including a new database with no tables that I created to see if I still received this error. As I said, the problem relates to trying to copy databases onto the same machine on which the original database exists.
Event Name: OnError

We have a laptop that has SQL 7 installed on it, and we would like to copy an existing database to the laptop. The laptop does not have any connectivity to our network. I did backup the database on the network, and place the backup copy on a CD. I then was hoping that I could create a new DB on the laptop and restore the copy from the CD. But, I have not been able to figure this out. Can anyone help?

I have the standard edition of SQL Server 2005 installed on a WIN XP Pro machine. I setup file and print sharing with my laptop. What do I need to be able to connect to SQL Server on my WIN XP Pro machine from my laptop. I hope to do most of my developing on my laptop. Do I need the developers edition of SQL server 2005 installed on my laptop?
Can someone please tell me if i can use SQL Server 2005 on my standalone laptop, and how do i connect, i dont know how to set up the password so i can connect
Many thanks Rob
Im trying to install SQL Server 2000 and 2005 on my XP SP2 laptop. If I can do so, which versions(i.e. standard, express, desktop, etc) are compatible ?
Thank you
I just recently replaced my old HP laptop with a Sony VAIO. I installed all of my development software on it, including SQL Server 2005 and the studio. At some point when I am using the studio on this new laptop, if I try to resize any of the columns to better fit the data, it crashes my laptop. I get the infamous Blue Screen of Death.
The laptop is a Sony Vaio BX670P and it has Win XP SP2 with all of the latest and greatest updates loaded on it.
The BSD blames a driver for causing the crash and points out "win32k.exe" specifically. This has never happened to me before.
Does anyone know why this might be happening?

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
Thanks for any help,

Hello all!
I want to get into consulting (perhaps a little at first and more once I can support myself on it solely). I am about to start the purchase of a laptop soon, and I want to know which components I should focus on the most. I also want to know which version of SQL Server I should purchase.
From my studies and what I have learned (about to take the test to get my sql server 2005 certificate) I am going to assume that I want to get SQL Server 2005 developer software. However, the part that is not touched on very often, is if I am working with a client that has say, SQL Server 2005 enterprise, x64 exition, and I have developer IA64 edition, would I be able to connect and work on their server?
As far as the hardware is concerned, I am thinking I want a laptop with a large enough screen (I currently get a discount through hp where I currently work and am looking at the models that have a 17 inch screen) so I don't go blind trying to work . I am also thinking I don't need an extremely powerful processor, but I am not sure between athlon and pentium on which I Should choose since I do not have much experience in this area with sql server. I know I want at least 2GB of memory for the simple fact that sql server isnt the only thing I will be doing on the laptop and want some headroom. I also want a large enough hard drive to hold everything, but I definitely want to see if I can get a 7200rpm drive vs a 5400rpm for the simple fact that I have noticed a significant difference in read and write speeds between the 2 drives. I am not too fussed over the video card, as I am not into graphics design or high-end video games (I think world of warcraft is the most intense I have bought in years). I am also thinking that because I wont need to have a very powerful video card, that a mega powerful battery is not super important.
These so far are my thoughts. Please let me know your opinions on what I should focus on/get

Hi Guys!
I want to buy a laptop, so that I can install and play with the trial SS 2005 Enterprise Edition and hopefully get familiar with SSIS. At work I have only used SS 2000. I want a laptop which will run this with a reasonable speed, but don't want to pay for more juice than is actually required. Does anyone have any advice on what kind of spec would be good enough for SS 2005 Enterprise? If I go for the basics suggested by the system requirements, will it run like a tortoise?
Thanks!!

I tried to set up mirroring on my laptop.
I have got two instances of SQL Server 2005 SP2 on my laptop (the first one is the default instance).
Checked configuration running the following scripts
SELECT type_desc, port FROM sys.tcp_endpoints;
GO
SELECT state_desc FROM sys.database_mirroring_endpoints
go
SELECT role FROM sys.database_mirroring_endpoints;
GO
SELECT 'Metadata Check';
SELECT EP.name, SP.STATE,
CONVERT(nvarchar(38), suser_name(SP.grantor_principal_id))
AS GRANTOR,
SP.TYPE AS PERMISSION,
CONVERT(nvarchar(46),suser_name(SP.grantee_principal_id))
AS GRANTEE
FROM sys.server_permissions SP , sys.endpoints EP
WHERE SP.major_id = EP.endpoint_id
ORDER BY Permission,grantor, grantee;
GO
Everything is OK on both instances. Tried to start mirroring and I have got this error message:

Ok, this is my setup;
Laptop
Installed Visual Web Developer ExpressInstalled SQL Server Express
Server
Windows 2003 serverIIS is working and runs asp 2.0 scriptsInstalled SQL Server 2005 which is running, has remote connections enabled and the SQL browser is also runningThe windows firewall is turned OFF
Router
I have opened port 1433 to point to the server(TCP) and 1434 to point to the server (UPD)
The Problem
Locally on my laptop everything works fine, I can't actually see SQL Express but if I enter MICKEYsqlexpress then connecting to databases works fine.I've setup ftp on the server and I've created a new website using VWD on my laptop, it's connected via FTP and created the website fine, and it runs no problem.
I am in a remote location so I am not connected to the local network, but even if I connect to the local network using VPN I still cannot get this to work. The problem is I am unable to get VWD to connect to SQL on my server. I've tried installing VWD on the server, and it seems the SQL server fine, and shows as just the server name which is "GOOFY".
In VWD on my laptop I've tried entering the server as just "GOOFY" and also "GOOFYmssqlserver" and on both occassions I can an error message saying that a connection to the server couldnt be reached, and it's usually because the server is not setup to accept remove connections (but mine is). It also says something about "Named Pipe", but I've checked the server and that option is not enabled, I have TCP/IP enabled on the SQL server of the server.
Can anyone help me to make a remote sql connection to my server?
Hi dear devs, admins or users!I have following problem with the "SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition".

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.
Thanks.

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 ?

Hi,
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have several Production SQL server 2005 databases that need to be copied to a different (test) SQL server 2005 database server. What is the best way to copy the existing structures over to the test environment.
I'm new to sql server, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

if i have a given database (a model) and i want to copy this database in the same database instance. Is it ok to copy the mdf and ldf file and attach the files with a new database name in the same instance.

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")
