How To Recover SQL Database From A Removed Laptop Hard Drive?
Jul 23, 2005
Dear group:
I have removed my hard drive from my laptop (which is now toast) and
have managed to recover nearly all the data from it by installing the
drive into my desktop. I was hoping to reboot the dektop to see if I
could load the operating system on the laptop's hard drive so I could
do a manual backup of the SQL database on it. This does not work.
Does anyone know of a way to recover my SQL database and all its tables
given the circumstances above?
TIA

Hello,I am trying to recover a SQL Server 7 database from another hard diskdrive that has a corrupted Windows 2000 Advanced Server installation. Iam not able to repair the corrupted Windows 2000 Advanced Serverinstallation but the file system is intact. I have installed a new copyof SQL Server 7 onto a new hard disk and have used the sp_attach_dbsystem stored procedure to attach the database from the old hard driveinto the new installation of SQL Server 7 on the new hard drive. Thedatabase shows up in the Enterprise Manager View and all the data andstructure are there, but when I try to run a Web site that uses ODBCconnections to the database I get the following error:ODBC Error Code = 08001 (Unable to connect to data source)[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]Specified SQL servernot found.I have double-checked that all the NTFS permissions, ODBC DSNs, and WebServer settings are correct and when I run the SQL Server ODBC drivertest at the completion of each ODBC DSN setup, it is successfull.1) Why am I getting this ODBC error?2) What steps have I missed in the recovery process?3) If I have done something wrong recovering my database, can I stillrecover it since I still have: a) The old master database file and logfile; b) The old database (non-master) file and log file; c)A backed-up(Enterprise Manager -> Right Click A Database -> All Tasks -> BackupDatabase) copy of the old database (non-master) file; ?My System Specifications:-Windows 2000 Advanced Server-SQL Server 7-IIS 5.0-Cold Fusion Server 4.5 Professional Full EditionThanks For Your Time,Nathan

I need to create a SQL server database and add some tables to it. Then access it with a C# application. The problem is that the new SQL server database and it's tables must reside on an external hard drive. How do I point SQL server to this external drive, so that I can create a database on this drive and then create tables and access data on it?

hi, I have NT server which has drive c: 500 MB and drive d has 44 GB.
I know that the person who set up this server did not give enough space to the c drive, here is the problem. I am running sql server 7.0 which has 30 GB of data in the d drive. I need to reconfigure the NT hard drive so I can allocate 2 GB for C drive and 42 GB for D drive.
What is the best, safe method to accomplish this task.

I was wondering if anyone played around with changing the allocation unit size when formatting the hard drive the SQL server is running on. I would think that setting it higher to account for the larger size of the database files would help, but I'm not sure.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Hi guys,
I have a general question. Would SQL server have slower performance if you placed the ldf or mdf files on a dynamic drive setup or should it always be basic? I noticed that a server had 2 dynamic drives and the log files and mdf files are located on these drives. Usually I see all the drives as basic not dynamic. Does this even matter?
thanks

I want to perform backups to a network drive. I need to know if I can access the backup drive via UNC. I have not been able to get it to work and, for now, I would just like to know if what I am trying to do SHOULD work.
For example I want to backup to device mdtnts_prod02LM2BackupNameBack.DAT.
Thanks,Bob

I'm wondering what other people do in regards to running hard drive defragmentation programs on SQL Server 2005 servers (assume 64-bit and Windows 2003). From what I can tell the most common opinions are:
1. Don't defragment because it doesn't help and it can cause problems.
2. Use Diskeeper
3. Use the built-in Windows defragmenter
Other respected defragmented programs are PerfectDisk, O&O Defrag, JkDefrag, and Contig.
What is your hard drive defragmentation strategy?

Hi. Has anyone else had any problem with their SQL Server 2005 going nuts after installing the SP2 + the above hotfix?
We reboot the SQL Server and as soon as SQL receives a command of any sort, the SCSI RAID 5 hard drives light up and start trashing. Therefore every query and even Windows response time is painfully slow or fails to respond. When we look at the Activity Monitor and sp_who2 there is a process running a Select Into from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio using the sa account from the last database name in our system. So we can't kill the process as it says "Cannot use KILL to kill your own process. Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 6104)".
The last Transact-SQL command from this process is:
create table #tmpDBCCinputbuffer ((Event Type) nvarchar(512),
[Parameters] int, [Event Info] nvarchar(512))
insert into #tmpDBCCinputbuffer exec ('DBCC INPUTBUFFER(56)')
select [Event Info] from #tmpDBCCinputbuffer
The only other issue I should mention is that we had to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server yesterday as SP2 only half installed. The SP2 install log indicated that SQL SP1 wasn't in a good state as we previously (3 months ago) performed an upgrade from Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2003 R2 Server.
Our other 3 Windows 2003 R2 Servers which were a clean install of both Windows and SQL are running fine.
I've been insisting that we do a new clean Windows and SQL install, but the other team members insist that it's been fine until we installed SQL Server SP2.
So can anyone provide and help or evidence to say who is right either way?
Thanks.

In our SQL Server database we will have a table that will be populated with about 2000 recordsper day. That is 2000 records per day for 5 days per week. Currently the computer we are using has about 50 gigabytesof available hard drive space on it. We are concerned that maybe we will need a bigger hard drive,based solely on the number of records entered into this table per day. The problem is I don'tknow how to calculate how much hard drive space we need. I think I read that using varchar,sql server 2005 really optimizes a database. Here is a typical example of data in ourdatabase. I put dots on three lines between the first and last sample record to justillustrate that there are many records in between.
Basically we only need 8 months of data at a time in the table and then we can purgerecords older than 8 months.Can someone help me approximate how much hard drive space I might need for 8 months of data,given the following sample record in the database?
Sample: -->34.5 4.08 10.6 .0012
Sample Table in my DB just for illustration:
(PPsquare inch) (Diameter) (Weight gm) (coeffOfSatFriction)
34.5 4.08 10.6 .0012...21.7 3.54 6.22 .019

Installed SQL Server 2000 Enterprise trial a week ago on XP Pro. Installed new Seagate 80G HD; used Seagate's utility to copy old C: to new drive as new boot drive. All seems to work fine, except, when booting up, SQL server doesn't start. When I try to start it manually I get the following:
Could not start SQLSERVER service on the local computer. Error 3: the system cannot find the specified path.
1. What could be wrong?
2. How do I fix it?

Hello.
One of our hard drives has crashed and as a result we have lost our master mdf/ldf & user db mdf/ldf files. It's not that a critical system by any means, but if the hard drive crashes and the master mdf/ldf files & user db mdf/ldf are lost, is there any way of restoring the system?
I'm thinking we probably need to re-install Enterprise Manager completely, and re-install the user db from a backup.
Any advice/suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I've downloaded the sql server 2005 management studio express executable to my second hard drive, as there is no room on my main drive
However, when I try to install, the program shows me both drives, and shows that there is not enough room on my main drive, but it does not allow me to change the installation to my second drive.
I have previously installed the main sql express product to my second drive with visual studio. There's loads of room.
Can anyone give me a clue as to why this might be happening.
Thanks
John

Being a very novice SQL Server administrator, I need to ask the experts a question.
How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:. Can someone provide me with instructions?
Thanks,

I 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
Message: Failed to connect to server XXXXXXX.
StackTrace: at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ConnectionManager.Connect()
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.TransferObjectsTask.TransferObjectsTask.OpenConnection(Server& server, ServerProperty serverProp)
InnerException-->Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.

I have a database that was migrated from a SQL Server 2000 installation. The database was a remote server (call it ServerA) from the Reporting Services install (call that one ServerB). Both of the original servers can effectively be called dead at this point, and I want to redeploy both to a SQL Server 2005 installation (ServerC). RS is already installed on the new box, but is not initialized to any database. The SQL Server 2000 based database (from ServerA) has been restored and upgraded to 2005. The keys from the original RS host box (ServerB) have been successfully restored to the new server (ServerC). Unfortunately, the new server still sees the configuration of ServerB in the database, and thinks that I'm trying to do a scale out deployment. How can I force ServerB to be kicked out of the installation so that ServerC can properly take over?
TIA,
