Can I move a database from one server to another server using QA?
EXEC sp_detach_db @dbname = 'IISLOG'
EXEC sp_attach_single_file_db @dbname = 'IISLOG',
@physname = 'c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataIISLOG.mdf'
Or would I need a tape backup to move this database to another server?
Thanks

I have a problem: I have created an Integration Services in SQL Server 2005 that moves data from a table in a server to another table in another server. I have set the protection level property to "don't save sensitive".
The problem is when I try to execute it with a dtexec command. I get this errors:
'An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E4D Description: "Communication link failure".'
'An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E4D Description: "TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.'
'An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E4D Description: "Login failed for user 'xxxxx'.".'
I don't know why the Integration Services does not work, and what are this errors about. Maybe the problem is with the protection level property, because when I set it to "don't save sensitive" it has some warnings, but when I set the property to "Encrypt sensitive with user key" the error messages are the same.

Hi Guys,
What is the fast way to move huge table (77 million) records with 25 columns across servers? The servers are not linked though.
Thanks for the help.
I have migrated databases and logins from SQL server 2008 R2->SQL Server 2014. Now I also want to migrate/copy the "linked servers". Do you have a step-by-step for this, so that i will copy everything that is necessary regarding logins etc ?

Thanx, Kelly
Without restoring the database, has anyone written a slick little piece of code that moves a file existing on on filegroup to another newly created filegroup without doing it from a restore.
The purpose of doing this is to get rid of one data file and placing the data into the data file we are retaining. We have some more physical file space and are moving data into one data file and one transaction log file.
We have already ran the DBCC SHRINKFILE with EMPTYFILE to move the data,
We have already ran the ALTER DATABASE statement but here, because the filegroup is identified as PRIMARY in the sysfilegroup table, we can not REMOVE the data file because of indexes relating to the PRIMARY filegroup.
So if I could ALTER DATABASE and create a bogus filegroup and move the data file which I want to get rid of into the bogus filegroup, I could ALTER DATABASE with REMOVE filegroup and solve the situation.
Does anyone know of an easier way to do it other than BACKUP database and RESTORE database.....please help!!!
Thanks,

I am looping a set of .txt files in a folder using foreach.
Inside foreach, I have a Dataflow task that does the transformation. After that i have added a File System that moves file to archive.
However, If the user puts any other file instead of a .txt file, i want to move the file to Error folder and this should be before the DataFlow starts within foreach.
How can i do this? I want to use script to read the file extension and then move it to the error.

Hi all,
I'm trying to find some way to implement a move file task in my Data Flow. I parse through a flat file, retrieve a value, then I'm using a lookup table to check if that value exists in a table... if the value doesnt exist, I need to move this file to a new directory and insert the value into a different table. Does anyone have any ideas about how to move the file while using the Data Flow pane?
Or is there some way to pass information from the look up table to the Control flow pane and use the Move File Task there? I'm trying to stay away from a Script task or a Script component unless it's unavoidable. I appreciate any ideas!
I could really use some help on this one. I know virtually nothing about SQL Server. We installed this because our database for the application we're running (Lexis Nexis Time Matters) had gotten too large for the Express 2005 version. We've also installed a new version of the software, and on a new server.
The new server has the drive partitioned into two partitions. When installing the application, I selected drive D (545 gb) as the data drive, but when I installed SQL server, it was installed on drive C (12 gb). I did not realize that the the application data was simply configuration information, and the data for the program is actually being installed on the C drive (Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData).
Is there a simple procedure to move this data, including the SQL instance (TIMEMATTERS) to the D drive? Or should I uninstall and start over?
Hello guys and girls. I have installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and I have specified that the databases should be created on the K: drive. This is okay but now I need to move all the transaction log files (.ldf) to the L: drive. I have already changed the default location for the log files to point to the L: drive and the new databases that were created after the installation have their transaction log file correctly in the L: drive but now I need to move transaction log files for the master, model, temp ... databases. How can this be done? And are there any gotchas?

Hello,
I need to move all log files for my SQL 2005 databases to another drive. I don't wish to shrink the files, I need to move the logs to another drive spindle. I did find an article (Article ID: 224071) that describes moving both the database and logs using sp_detach and then sp_attach. What is the best way just to move the logs to another drive on the same server, and that keeps the databases in their original location?
Thanks.
Hello there,
I've been told that it is good practice to keep mdf and ldf files in another location... We have it in place for all our user databases, however mdf and ldf files for our system dbs are still at the same location. I was wondering what is the right way of splitting those should be?
I haven't found the definitive answer on how or if this can be done without removing replication. I'm thinking ALTER DATABASE modify_file is the way to go. Anybody know if this will work or a better way to go about it?
Thanks
I have a job which copies .txt files 24 hours 7 days a week to c:TempSource
What I am planning to do is copy the files from one location to another say c:TempTarget
So I have written the Powell shell script and when i put that in the sql agent job i get below error ;
A job step received an error at line 5 in a PowerShell script. The corresponding line is '$filesToMove = $files | Where -Property "Name" -NotLike -Value $newestFile.Name'. Correct the script and reschedule the job. The error information returned by PowerShell is: 'A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Property'. '. Process Exit Code -1. The step failed.
$sourceFiles = "c:TempSource*.txt"
$targetFolder = "c:TempTarget"
$files = Get-ChildItem $sourceFiles
$newestFile = ($files | sort LastWriteTime -Descending)[0]
$filesToMove = $files | Where -Property "Name" -NotLike -Value $newestFile.Name
$filesToMove | ForEach { Move-Item $_ $targetFolder }
I want to to move all database log files from drive E to F .

I want to poll an ftp site to see when files arrive, then I would like to download them, and move them into a different directory on the ftp site. It seems like I would have to do a lot to work around the limitations of the FTP Task. Is it capable of this sort of work? If not is there a 3rd party task that is better suited for ftp operations within SSIS?

OBJECTIVE within the flat file if any records/rows cause error i have to move the bad data into separate folder C:ERROR
STEPS TAKEN
1) In FOREACH LOOP component i specified the variable User:: sourceFilePath for my source file CHK0604 etc. location C:SOURCE. The loop walkthrough each file in C:SOURCE and if no error then moves the flat file into another folder C:ARCHIVED. This task is perfectly working.
2) Within the dataflow I am diverting the the bad rows from "conditional component" into "Flat File Destination" Component.
3) "Flat File Destination" Connection manager i set the expressions as @[User:: sourceFilePath] +"_Error.TXT".
ISSUE
Because of point (3) the error file is created in the SOURCE flat file location C:SOURCE.
QUESTION
1) My error file name should be CHK0604_Error, CHK0611_Error, CHK0618_Error, CHK0625_Error created in another folder C:ERROR.

I have a requirement to move files from HOLD folder to input folder. In HOLD folder I receive multiple files starting with af, ai, ar i.e. af*.txt , ai*.txt, ar*.txt . I need to move one file at a time to input folder as each file is to be loaded into database before next file is processed. In all the files the SSIS has to look at ai*.txt files first followed by af*.txt and lastly ar*.txt. If there are multiple files of same group the file with oldest date has to be moved first. How do I achieve this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a job using power-shell script to move the backup files from one folder to another. I am using Ola Hallengren script for backups.

Either way can work,

I have a maintenace plan that copies production backup files in DR server. The production is mission critical and runs 24/7. We have a round the clock backups. Backups include full backup, differential backups and log backups.
To secure these backup files, I was asked to keep these files in different server at the same time as it goes to DR Server. As I am using maintenace plan for scheduled backups that go to DR server and I had no idea how to incorparate copying these files to another server in the same maintenence plan. I came up with idea using xp_cmdshell stored proc that I attached on the maintenace plan in executeT-SQL statement task. The statement looks like
Exec master..xp_cmdshell 'copy e:DRbackup*.bak \fgh-sql16ackup$'
Above statement copy all backup files on DR server and takes these to remote server called fgh-sql16.
My question here is ....are there any other effective methods to copy backup files simultaneously to different servers via maintenace plan.
Thanks all
Hi-I have a sql 2005 database that stores weekly time and attendance data for 500 users. I need to send the file on a scheduled basis.I'd alo like to have programmatic control over sending the file via my asp,net application's admin pages. (I have roles and security set up on the site) My question is two fold: Can asp.net be scripted to manage a data extraction to a file, (I gotta HOPE so) THEN is there any sFTP functions built into asp.net?I know I can do this in SQL2005, then have a scheduled event fire off the file via sFTP. but like I said, I'd like to have programmatic control over the file sending. (Of course they have to be sent on SUNDAY!) Thanks in advance for any advise
