Hi
I am interested in taking MCTS exam 70-431 for sql server 2005 implementation and maintainance.
I have been reading the hardware requirements for the instalation of sql server versions and realise that enterprise and developer editions have same minimum requirements for the operation system.
I understand that the Developer Edition includes all the functionality of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, but it is licensed for use as a development and test system, not as a production server.
Also I undestand that the developer edition supports the Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 or later but the enterprise edition does not support this operating system. The evaluation/trial version is for the enterprise edition. Can I use the developer version of sql server 2005 for my practice exercises instead of using the trial version?
I have all hardware requirements for the trial enterprise version except that I am using Microsoft windows Xp home edition version 2002 with SP2. I am trying to see if I can use the developer version of sql server 2005 as it is cheaper for me to buy this software than buying the new operating system for my computer.
According to the microsoft book for the MCTS exam 70-431 there is a section which states that before you begin you should have Microsoft Windows Server 2003 running on your computer on an NTFS file system
(NTFS) partition. Will I still be ok to use the book and be able to do all the tests in the book if i am using the developer version of sql server 2005 with my Microsoft windows Xp home edition than using the trial version which comes with the book?
Thanks

Hi all,
I need to find out on runtime, a list of Maintenance plans and Jobs.
i dont know how to acquire the database name on which the plan/job are operating.
i also dont know from which table can i get the tasks ( backup,integrity,rebuild index etc.) that belongs to the plan.
its quite urgent,
10x,
Gil.
Ok, I must be blowing my mind here.
I created a maintenance plan to run on Sundays at 10PM.
This plan failed due to Tempdb running out of space.
I rectified this and scheduled the maintenance plan to run the next day. This did not work either. The underlying jobs just did not kick off. Nothing in the event viewer or SQL Logs.
The reason, the jobs that this plan created also need to be changed.
Has anybody encountered this?
Further, I have a SQL Express on my laptop, which I use for maintaining our db servers(SQL 2005 Standard Version). When I alter the portions of the Maintenance plans(e.g. I changed the selection of the databases for "Index rebuilding" part) using my work station connected to a Production/QA server,when I try to save the changes it gives me an error: "Failed GUID........and some 16 digit number most of which are all XXXXX". But if I change the schedule it does not give an error but it does not change it either.....
I am really lost. I never had such problems on 7 or 2000.
I am not sure if these are co-related.
The error happened on SQL 2005 sp2 32bit servers. Can someone please help. Thanks very much.

Hi, I'm a novice user of SQL Server.
I'm using Win SBS R2 2003 with SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition, and the database have been up and runnning now.
I was wondering whether I can perform a backup database from the workstation computers or not? That would mean I login as domain users and using the SQL Server Management Studio (located in the server), I will perform the particular database that I wish to backup... Can this be done? If so, perhaps someone could tell me how (step by step procedure) or is there a document about this?
Thanks!
I want to run a maintenance for a database in MS SQL Express 2005 running on Windows 2003 SP2 server.
I know by default it is not there in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. Is there a way or any procidure to run maintenance for MS SQL Express 2005 ?
I'm trying to create a maintenance plan to backup a database, and when I go to select the database in the dropdown, I don't have any of the user databases any more. They were there several weeks ago when I first created the 'plan'.
Does anyone know how to get the user db's to show up in the dropdown?
Hi,
Does anyone here know of any on-line references on how to optimize index maintenance in sql 2005? Also do you know of any good DBA books that will explain database maintenance and or best practices?
Thanks.

Hi there
I feel like a complete nitwit. I've been using SQL 2000 for about 5 years now and regularly set up automatic backups using the wizard for many people. I'm in no way an advanced user and have enjoyed some of the more user-friendly features of SQL 2000 such as the backup wizard.
Well now we have SQL 2005 and I can't find the "wizard". I did a lot of googling and found very little on this. The frustration is mounting - let alone the fact that I had to edit the registry just to be able to perform a manual backup in the first place... :-(
Apparently their is a "maintenance plans" folder but the only place I can find this is under "Legacy" and you can't create jobs there.
Has anybody else had this issue? Is there a bug in SQL 2005? I reinstalled the full version with all options selected and still can't find this folder. Am I just being completely "blonde"?
Hello, everyone:
I have a strange trouble on SQL Server 2005 on XP/local and Win 2003/server. When I connect local database and create a backup plan named by "backup plan", I can see the name under "maintenance plan" and "Jobs" under SQL Server Agent. But if I connect to server database and do the samething, I cannot see the name under "maintenance plan". I can see the name under "Jobs" under SQL Server Agent. But cannot delete this job, and message:
Drop failed for job "Backup Plan".(Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo).
Did someone meet this bug and have suggestions?
Thanks

I need to create sql 2005 maintenance plan for system and user databases which includes Database integrity check and Rebuild index tasks but these two things should happen at different times. Is it possible to schedule these two tasks at different times under single database maintenance plan, if so please let me know...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI successfully created a simple Backup Maintenance Plan under SSMS. But now that the plan is created I need to change the number of days the backups are kept. When I pull up the plan udner SSIS and lok at the tasks I can't locate that option. I couldn't find it under the sql agent either. Anyone know where it is? (Or do I need to recreate the plan from scratch?)

Afternoon All,
We have a SQL Server 2005 instance that I am running a few databases on, nothing too big though.

The goal is to have all of our databases running on one server for backup and maintenace. Currently we are using VMWare to hose all of our servers and we use nightly scripts to backup all of the data. So backups are good to go.
What I am most concerned about is preventative maintenance on the databases. What would people recommend that I set-up for nightly, weekly, or monthly cleaning, integrity checks, etc? Are there third party tools that would do a better job? I am fairly naive on SQL server so any help would be greatly appreciated.

In SQL 2005...
How do I specifty in the maintenance plan to only keep 3 days worth of backup.

I need to build a query that shows which databases on a sql 2005 server are NOT included in a maintenance plan.
So far I have been unable to find a matching column from msdb sys.databases with any column in the following msdb tables:
sysmaintplan_plans
sysmaintplan_subplans
sysmaintplan_log
sysmaintplan_logdetail
Has anyone else been able to solve this challenge?
Thanks!

I have created a simple maintenance plan in SQL Studio. When I double-click on the task boxes (ie 'Rebuild Index', 'Backup') to just make changes or to look, I get the following message:
Cannot show editor for this task
Additional information:
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0010014 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSRuntimeWrap)
I cannot rename, edit nor delete this task, Do you know what might be the problem?
Calling all those that use Maintenance Plans.
There are some perculiar goings on happening on my servers. Plans across servers have been doing funny things like dumping back ups in different folders, some jobs have been hanging, so on and so forth.
And I think it's occuring after modifying SQL Server 2000 plans with SSMS. It's so intermitent, it's hard to put my finger on exactly when it's happening. It may have not even been reported yet. Fixing the anomolies are achieved by recreating the jobs (a matter of unticking and ticking the boxes in the Maintenance Plans).
In SQL 2000, if you create more than 1 schedule on a job that was itself created using a maintenance plan, SQL Server returns a message along the lines of "Dude, do this and weird things might happen". The message doesn't say what exactly, just that it can no longer guarentee the integrity of the plan. And indeed, weird things does happen, I tested it once.
I'm guessing this is a similar problem, but has not yet been pinned down. Has anyone come across this when using SSMS to maintain 2000 plans.
At this stage, I would like to point out that this is not a slagging off Maintenance Plans thread... I'm looking in the direction of anyone who's name starts with the letter Kristen or Tara

Any ideas? Thanks.
Hi,We have a SQL-cluster with over 6300 databases, most of them prettysmall in size and usage.For this reason all these databases are on auto-close ( Otherwise SQLwould need many many gigabytes ).We've recently upgraded to SQL 2005 because of the Management Studio,because the EM is unusable on a SQL-Server with lots of databases.But whenever you choose 'all user databases' or 'all databases' in anyof the DB Maintenance task, MSSQL begins starting up every databasewhich takes about 30 minutes. Until then, you cannot use your Studioanymore.My question : is there a possibility to avoid this behavior, it shouldnot go and check all those db's, just add my task.PS : Detaching these databases is not an option ...Thanks in advance,Sven Peeters
