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 ?
Hello,
I use SQL Server Express 2005 SP2.(Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00)
I want to make a maintenance plan, but I don't have a task called "maintenance plan"
I am user sa with "sysadmin"
How can I make a maintenance plan.
Thanks for your help

Hi all,
I am using the Express versions of SQL Server and the Management console and can't seem to find anyway to set up basic maintenance plans.
Is this feature not in the Express management studio? I hope I am just missing it and it is not totally missing. I am trying to get my skills back up to speed so I can tackle some DBA jobs again and am working from home at the moment.
Can someone fill in the blanks for me to tell me if this infact is not available in the express management studio or where it is if it infact is available.
Many Thanks.

Hi,
I'm trying to learn some VB programming with the VB 2005 Express Absolute Beginner Series video tutorials (which I think is great) and have come across a problem that I can't solve.
When I follow the instructions in Lesson 9 (Databinding Data to User Interface Controls) my application will display the data from the database correctly and I can edit it (and as long as the debugger is running the data remains changed). However, the changes won't propagate back to the database. I don't get any error messages but after I edit the data, save (with the save button on the BindingNavigator toolbar), and end debugging the data in my database remains unchanged. When I use a MessageBox to show how many rows where edited/updated in the
Me.myTableTableAdapter.Update(Me.myDatabaseDataSet.myTable)
I get the correct number back. I'm sure the problem is not due to coding errors since I've also tried running the accompanying Lesson 9 project file that can be downloaded from MSDN and the problem persists.
I'm using Windows XP SP2, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and VB 2005 Express Edition. I've tried installing SQL Server 2005 Express with a number of different settings, including default settings, but it doesn't make any difference.
Would greatly appreciate any feedback on this as I'm keen to resolve this problem so I can get on with the next tutorial lesson.
Thanks,

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis problem only occurs after deployment, not when debugging. In the table I am having a problem with I have an ID field designated as the primary key with the identity increment set to 1 and the identity seed set to 1. There is no data in the table when deployed. I can add records to the datagridview control but when I try updating the dataset I get this error indicating that the ID field already has a value of 1 present.

Hi Guys,
I created a Product database table using Visual Basic 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express. I have just added a new column [Picture] to the database table, which of course, should store an image or picture of a product. I am writing to kindly ask you guys for help .
i) How do I include image files into this column [Picture]?
ii) How do I get this image to display on Visual Basic 2005 Express form, so that when a product is selected the product image is displayed accordingly?
Your help much appreciated. Thanks.

When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:

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'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

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
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi there,
We have lately experianced a strange problem with our SQL Server 2005 x64 (SP2) that is NOT consistent but when it happens it happens on the same time.
Almost every night at 03:30 one of our databases (not all) seems to be down or locked. When i have a look at the order table in this database I can see that we have stopped recieving orders after 03:30. Two hours later (05:30) I can see the following error each minute in the error log until we reboot the server:
All schedulers on Node 0 appear deadlocked due to a large number of worker threads waiting on LCK_M_IS. Process Utilization 0%%.
As we have a maintenance job running at 03:30 it feels like this is the problem. The job performs the following tasks: "Check Database Integrity -> Rebuild Index -> Reorganize Index"
When i look at the history of the job it looks like it's not completed and only the "Check Database Integrity" task was runned. No error message here either.
Also when i look in the error log i can see that the Maintenance job is started but never ended. Worth to notice is that I get the follwoing info in the log after the start-message:
Configuration option 'user options' changed from 0 to 0. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.
Also, when i run this job manually daytime it works great!
Anyone having any idees on this? Is it possible to track this even more? I'm tired of restarting the server 03:30 in the morning =)
Thanks

I have several maintenance plans setup and working in SQL/2005 (sp2 9.0.3042) on several servers; however, the .txt maint plan output files will not delete on any of the servers. The backups run fine, the old database and transaction log backup files delete fine (.bak and .trn); but, the .txt files won't go away unless I delete them by hand. I tried copy/paste the scripted command (xp_delete_file) and it runs with no errors but does not delete the old .txt files. ( This server was upgraded from SQL/2000 -
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 1,N'E:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLLOG',N'txt',N'2007-07-09T10:59:38'
)
I do NOT specify a period (.) in the file extension dialog box. Any ideas before I setup a .cmd batch file and schedule it instead?
Thanks in Advance,
DeWayne
I had created a maintenance plan and configure and scheduled my maintenace plan to run. I would like to save this package as a file into a source control. SO I use SSIS to export the package under stored packages->MSDB->Maintenace Plan. After that, I wanted to test my import process. So I deleted the packages under SSIS ->stored packages->MSDB->Maintenance plan and I use the import to add the package from my previously exported package stored in a file .dtxs extention.
So the problem is, after I imported my package. I lost the configured schedule and the job runs without doing anything. When I try to go in and make changes to the package, by adding a new schedule under SQL server -> management->maintenance plan. I receive a odd error message and it doesn't allow me to save the package.. The error message I got is...."GUID should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxxx-xxx-xx...)"
So my questions are: 1. why did the re-import loses the originally configure job run schedule. 2. why doesn't the re-import package works by backing up database as it was first setup. 3. why I cannot re-edit this package and saving the package error out?
Thank you for reading and for your helps! --Jon

Can anyone please provide me with some Best Practises for setting up Maintenance plans? IE what order should things be done in? What should be done daily, weekly, monthly, yearly... I am attempting to setup a new server and I am now 100% sure I have the maintenance plan setup correctly... expecially when I attempted to run it last night it and ran for over 8 hours and still didn't do the backup's yet. I had to reboot the server this morning to make it stop using 100% of the CPU. So please any help would be wonderful.
