I'm I missing something or does the log shipping wizard really not have an option for sending the transaction logs to a server outside my network? Is that something you have to do yourself with SSIS or a third party app?
View 3 RepliesI have a scenario where a customer is going to be using Log Shipping to the DR site; however, we need to maintain the normal backup strategy on the current system. (i.e. Nightly Full, Every 6 Hour Differential and Hourly Transaction Log backup)I know how to setup Transaction Log Shipping and Fail-over to DR and backup but now the local backup strategy is going to be an issue. I use the [URL] .... maintenance solution currently.
Is it even possible to do regular backups locally keeping data integrity for your backup strategy with Transaction Log Shipping enabled?
I've downloaded a copy of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express from MS. Can this product be used to query an SQL database at a web site.
Conversely, is there a command line utility for running SELECT statement queries on my remote web site database?
Hello everybody!

Thank you! - Callam
Greetings,I am in the process of installing a SQL database at a customerlocation. I have determined that there are 3 ways to do this, and Iwanted to know which is the best of the 3.1 Install From Script.In this method I create the database and its objects in scripts thatare run via osql utility on the SQL server machine. For loading anyinitial data that I need in the database I also run bcp commands.2 Install from a backupIn this method I created an empty database on the SQL server, and thenrestore over it the database from a backup of the database that I needto deploy. Then I add or re-attach the users for the database. Iperform all of these operations using osql as well.3 Install by attaching the data files.In this method I created an empty database on the SQL server, and thenI attach the data files to the database using the sp_attach procedure.Then I add or re-attach the users for the database. I perform all ofthese operations using osql as well.Although it is no problem for me to use any of these methods, I wantedto know from you veterans out there what the best practices are. Andalso if there are any unseen hazards for each method above. Or if Iam totally off-the-target, and there is another method that is thepreferred way.Thanks in Advance,roger
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I followed this excellent tutorial (from Microsoft) about creating and using a SQLExpress db table internal to your website:
http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/video-08.aspx
and the site I created works just fine - locally. When I publish to my web host provider I get this error:
[SqlException (0x80131904): 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 does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)]
My web host provider supports .NET 2.0 but doesn't support MS SQL Server. But that should matter - right? Because I'm putting the db instance right in the website?
I did a search and followed some of the advice:
I went into the SQL Server Surface Area Config Mgr and set SQLExpress for local and remote connections and rebooted/republished. I also have SQL Server 2005 installed as a separate entity (if that makes a difference).
I still get the above error. This is the connection string from the web.config:
<connectionStrings><add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Customers.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>And this is the call from the markup:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Customer]"></asp:SqlDataSource>
Does any know the fix for this?
Thanking you in advance

Hi All,
Recently had to rebuild our SQLServer installation from scratch! major pain!! We had a remote server running a replicated version of the internal database system for the website. We also have a SQL DB hosted with a new ISP which is in test mode. All managed via EM.
Re-installed software, upgaded tp SP3, new MDAC. Set up the references for the two external DB's with the Client Network Utility. In EM set up a connection to DB on the new ISP, works perfectly, tried on the old DB and get 'SQL Server is not running or access denied' error message.
I confirmed the server is running, as its our live site. Cant connect using Query Analyser. I can ping the adress successfully. I've created new user logings that mach on both machines/servers, still no luck!
Can anyone suggest what the problem is/might be or how to fix... I'm flat out of ideas!
Major THANKS! for any gems...

I need to only receive files via ftp when the file does not exist on my local machine. FIles are being added to the remote location on a weekly basis and they are being downloaded locally. I do not want to download all the files each time. Instead, just download what was not already downloaded. Is there a way to do this? I want to do this using SSIS / ftp task.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Sorry for the wide distribution.
I'm trying to find any useful whitepapers about how to effectively build and operate a disaster recovery site at a remote location for SQL Server 2000. Does anyone know where to find such information?
I also know that one good option for my customer is using the Mirroring feature of SQL Server 2005. What are the other options? Is Replication an effective one for a mission-critical database (online banking)?
Thanks in advance
Hi
I could not able to find Forums in regards to 'Log Shipping' thats why posting this question in here. Appriciate if someone can provide me answers depends on their experience.
Can we switch database recovery model when log shipping is turned on ?
We want to switch from Full Recovery to Bulk Logged Recovery to make sure Bulk Insert operations during the after hours load process will have some performance gain.
Is there any possibility of loosing data ?
Thanks
Hi,
I 'm sure I am missing something obvious, hopefully someone could point it out. After a failover log shipping, I want to fail back to my inital Primary server database; however, my database is marked as loading. How can I mark it as normal?
I did the failover as follow:
I did a failover log shipping from the 2 server Sv1 (Primary) and Sv2 (Secondary) by doing the following
1) Stop the primary database by using sp_change_primary_role (Sv1)
2) Change the 2nd server to primary server by running sp_change_secondary_role (Sv2)
3) Change the monitor role by running sp-change_monitor_role (Sv2)
4) Resolve the log ins - (Sv2)
5) Now I want to fail back - I copy the TRN files to Sv1 - use SQL Ent to restore the database at point in time. The task is done; however, the database is still mark as loading. I could not use sp_dboption.
I appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks in advance
- When I disable "allow remote connections to this server" from server properties>connection page, I can still remotely connect to the server from SSMS...so what is the impact of enable/disabling it?
- what is the impact of changing the remote query timeout (on the same page) from default value?
Fellow Devs,
I have an instance of SQL Server Express 2005 running on another box and I have Remote Connections enabled over both TCP/IP and Named Pipes, but on my other box I keep getting the error that the server does not accept Remote Connections.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a website with membership system. I've been through a lot implementing the site and I think I'm on the verge of full implementation. I can't get my registration page or my admin page to add, edit or delete users. I'm assuming that asp does not have proper permissions on SQL to do such.
I'm running the site on a provider that has a SQL 2000 server. I access the database through VS2005 and SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Is there a tutorial out there that could help a newbie to SQL understand how to check and correct my permissions issue (or find out that I'm haveing a different issue entirely.

Hello,
This may be the wrong place to add this but....
I am attempting to setup a membership instance for Site Server 3.0 using SQL 7 and try as I might, Site Server Membership will not see the server at all. I can do anything else I want to to that server and it works great (commerce, etc.). It all works OK under SQL 6.5 SP3 or later, just not SQL 7.
Does anyone have any thoughts or insights?
Thanks

Hello,
I am upgrading my site from a VPS with a shared SQL server to a dedicated server and my own sql server 2003 standard. My site is an ecommerce site with about 10,000 users a month with between 10-20 people on the site at one time.
It is better to host both my site and the SQL server on the same system or is it better to have them on separate systems? if they are on the same system is 1 gig of ram enough? is will there really be much better performance with 2 gigs?
Any information on the best way to do this would be greatly appreciated!!!

I have setup a Flat File connection manager and set the location of the file as such:

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to add a linked server from a AMD x64 server (Windows 2003) with SQL Server 2005 64 bit to a Server running SQL 2000. These are not in the same domain.
I can create a linked server using the option "Be made using the login's current security context" but can not when trying to specify the security context, i.e. sa and the sa password. When I try I get the following message:
Msg 15185, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addlinkedsrvlogin, Line 98
There is no remote user 'sa' mapped to local user '(null)' from the remote server 'DTS_FSERVER'.
I have several other x64 server that I have no problem creating a linked server and specifying sa and the sa password.
The problem with using "the login's current security context" option is that I get an error when trying to run any Jobs against the linked server. The job fails withe the following error:
Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. Access to the remote server is denied because no login-mapping exists. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7416). The step failed.
I'm sure the two errors are related. Any ideas what is going on?

I am wondering how some of you update your database once it is already been in use. So take for example you have a few tables and users can enter data into the site. Now suppose you either add tables to the db or you add fields to an existing table. I am using sql express 2005 and just want to copy the db over with the copy website but it would overwrite any data users entered.Is there any easy solutions or suggestions for this.Thanks
