SQL Server 2000 To MSDE Migration (can It Be Done?)
Jun 23, 2004Hello,
I have a client that is moving their web ap (which has already been developed) from one host to their own servers. The problem is that they don't have MS SQL Server 2000, but they have MSDE. All the code is already writen to work with SQL SERVER 2000.
I have a couple of questions:
1. Can I safely assume that all this code will work with MSDE and all I have to change is the connection string? For example:
SqlConnection myConn = new SqlConnection(connstring);
In other words, can I still use the SqlClient classes to work with MSDE, or will I have to modify the code?
2. Will it be a problem creating the tables and migrating the data from SQL SERVER to MSDE? Can I use Enterprise Manager to do this?
3. I never had to remotely (or even locally) connect to a MSDE database alone, I always develop with a SQL Server db. Can I use a similar connection string for the MSDE database? Do I have to create a data provider on the local machine? Can you give me an example of a MSDE connection string?
Data Migration MSDE -&&> SQL Compact
Feb 5, 2007Hi all
Currently we are using the MSDE as SQL Server and decide to switch to use the smaller and file based SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition.
Because of update issue we need to merge data from an already installed database into the new compact edition. Are there some tools we could use in our installation routine (InstallShield) or are there some recommendations how we could do this data merging?
Thanks @ all

Is It Possible To Make A Backup From MSDE ?? (Y/N)
Jul 19, 2004Hi all;
Is it possible to make a backup from MSDE ?? (Y/N)
The problem: I am going to develop an application for a small company and it don't like to spend more $$ rather than some $$ for the App.
So, I don't know if it is possible to do a backup from MSDE or not?
BTW: How much MS SQL Sever200 will cost per a PC? (any idea even approx.)??
Thanks in advanced!

Backup MSDE Database
May 4, 2006Hi,
we have about 12 databases in an MSDE server.
We can install the enterprise manager, but cant get the maintenance plans to work. (fields stay empty and setting dont get saved)
I've searched a bit, but couldn't fix it.
No problem, i created a job, with 12 T-SQL commands, and the backups are working perfect.
Now we wanne backup with a history (we take a backup every 4 hours of the day), because now they always get overwritten.
So im trying to change my transactSQL to create dynamic files.
The code i'm using right now :
BACKUP DATABASE PW0001A00 TO DISK = 'C:SQLBACKUPPW0001A00.BAK' WITH INIT, NOUNLOAD, NOSKIP, STATS=10, NOFORMAT
I've tried different things like
BACKUP DATABASE PW0001A00 TO DISK = 'C:SQLBACKUPPW0001A00' + DATEPART(month, GETDATE()) + '.BAK' WITH INIT, NOUNLOAD, NOSKIP, STATS=10, NOFORMAT
but nothing worked.
so basically I wanne be able to create dynamic filenames in the above command.
You got any ideas/solutions.
tnx.
How To Make Self-backup Log In Msde?
Jul 20, 2005Hi.I am trying to automatically backup transaction log when error 9002happened. So i have created appropriate job and alert to catch this error.I have two instances of sql server under Windows 2000. One of them is fullSQL Server, another is msde.When transaction log is full in full SQL Server error 9002 severity 17state 2 is logged in sql server log and in Windows Application log. Myalert firing my job. All is fine.But when transaction log is full in MSDE error 9002 severity 17 state 6 islogged only in sql server log. It is not logged into Windows Applicationlog so my alert does not work.So here is my questions:1. Why MSDE does not log error into Windows Application log?2. Why error 9002 has severity 19 in sysmessages table but is generatedwith severity 17?3. Why state of error 9002 differs under sql server and msde?Thank you.--Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

Backup / Restore Question - MSDE
Jul 20, 2005MSDE2000I have an application in which I am running a TSQL command of BACKUP DATABASE and RESTORE DATABASE for the backup and restore commands for my application. For testing purposes, i did the following:1) Ran a BACKUP DATABASE command to a file named C:TEST.BAK.2) Deleted the database completely.3) Ran a RESTORE DATABASE on the same file (note, I did NOT recreate the database)Now I have the database back with all my data. What are the gotchas when doing a backup and restore using this method? I am not relying on transaction logs to restore to a certain point, the user can only restore back to their last backup (may be daily, weekly or monthly)TIA-- Tim Morrison

Jun 6, 2005Hello,
I'm not sure if it's the setup I did wrong, but I can't seem to get my
text datatype in my database to store more than 900 characters.
I'm trying to setup a news database for my website, which will populate
the information into a datagrid. To test, I manually added a news
item in the database through the visual studio 2003 gui. I
immediately noticed a problem as the I was getting an error after a
long news item saying:
"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit."
I couldn't find anthing to set the buffer limit and the datatype is
"text" filled with simple text in the column. As a further test,
I
simply entered 12334567890123... up to 900 characters and still
recevied the error.
I would appreciate someone leading me in the right direction on this one.
Thanks a lot.
How Do I Change The Name Of A Computer Running MSDE With Out Reinstalling MSDE
May 27, 2000I am trying to change the computer name of a machine running MSDE but I get an error when SQL Server starts. With regular SQL when I change the name of a computer I re-run setup and setup fixes this problem. MSDE can only be installed from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem.
My question is "How do I change the name of a computer running MSDE with out reinstalling MSDE"

from unattended mode so I can’t rerun setup and fix the problem. Does anyone
know a solution for this problem ?? A program recalculating the cheksum ??

MSDE Worth Using Or Should I Invest In MySQL? (was MSDE)
Mar 9, 2005I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this this question but I'll give it a shot.
The only db development that I have ever done is in MS Access. I have a project at work that is being accomplished in VB and I need a db engine to use as the back end. Visual studio came with a copy of MSDE. Is this tool worth using or should I invest in mySQL? Are there any advantages to using MSDE over mySQL?
BACKUP LOG Cannot Be Performed Because There Is No Current Database Backup. BACKUP LOG Is Terminating Abnormally.
Jan 31, 2008
Hi there
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
Thanks

SQL 2012 :: Error (backup Failed To Complete The Command BACKUP LOG) In Event Viewer
Aug 23, 2013On the SQL Server the Event Viewer shows the same messages and errors every evening between 22:05:00 and 22:08:00. The following information messages are shown for every database:
"I/O is frozen on database <database name>. No user action is required. However, if I/O is not resumed promptly, you could cancel the backup."
"I/O was resumed on database <database name>. No user action is required."
"Database backed up. Database: <database name>, creation date(time): 2003/04/08(09:13:36), pages dumped: 306, first LSN: 44:148:37, last LSN: 44:165:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=VIRTUAL_DEVICE: {'{A79410F7-4AC5-47CE-9E9B-F91660F1072B}4'}). This is an informational message only. No user action is required."
After the 3 messages the following error message is shown for every database:
"BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP LOG <database name>. Check the backup application log for detailed messages."
I have added a Maintenance Plan but these jobs run after 02:00:00 at night.
Where can I find the command or setup which will backup all databases and log files at 22:00:00 in the evening?
SQL Server 2008 :: Backup Running Long And Backup Threads Show Suspended
Feb 18, 2015SQL Server 2008 r2 - 6 GB memory...I attempted a backup on a 500GB database but it was taking way too long. I checked the resources on the box and saw the CPU at 100%. I checked the SQL Server activity log and saw a hung query (user was not even logged on) that had multiple threads so I killed it and now the CPU utilization is back to normal.
Trouble is, now all of the threads in the activity monitor for the backup show 'suspended' and the backup appears to be not doing anything.

Can Windows 2003 Server Backup Utility Be Used To Backup A SQL 2000 Dbase
Dec 28, 2007Windows 2003 backup utility uses the shadow copy option that allows it to copy open files.
Therefore, can I use this utility to backup the .mdf and .ldf files for my SQL 2000 database?
I can then attach the .mdf files if I need to restore the database to another server.
Can anyone tell me if this is safe? I've tried it and it worked but I'm worried there maybe some lurking danger in using this approach.
