Hi! I have an SQL server installation with a 6.5GB database online at a particular location. I need to move the Database to another location which is a 1000 Miles away.
I have an additional physical Server at the other location which I can use to Sync the database from the original location. Can anyone please guide me to the best strategy to sync the database from the original location to the new location with minimum downtime??
I may be put on a project involving the migration of a SQL Server 2000 database from one physical location to another. I've never done something like this so any guidance would be appreciated.
My plan is to: 1. Backup the live database. 2. Do a restoration at the new location. 3. Set up transactional replication between the two databases. 4. Update records to point to the new db.
Are there any problems with doing it this way? Is there a better solution? I am trying to do this without any downtime, or as little as possible.
My reseller web host (DIY) migrated a few weeks ago to a new data center. Unfortunately, my MS SQL databases were not migrating properly. (as well as other things). I have multiple sites that are not functional due to problems with their migration.
When I looked at some of the databases, the table structure had been migrated, but not the data and apparently something else.
Some of the databases of this error when trying to access it: --- error --- Error for database: DATABASENAME Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e37' Invalid object name 'TABLENAME'. --- end error---
Some of the databases I can actually access but get:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e2f' Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'TABLENAME', table 'DATABASENAME.dbo.TABLENAME'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. Everything in all databases worked perfectly before the migration.
They tell me that they have done what they can. They tell me that they are at the mercy of Psoft who assisted with the migration.
Does anyone know of anything that can my host that can help them figure out the problem.
hi, I am new to this technology. can anyone pls help me.can anybody tell me what is physiacl file and source physiacl file wat are the attributes of physical file and source physical file.and how do we identify the uniqueness of a job.
I am trying to connect to a remote MSSQL database through a manager program called "SQL Manager Lite". The first thing that the wizard asks me is the "host name".
How do I find this host name? I just mention that I am trying to connect to a database on a shared hosting.
Can anyone inform me how I would go about merging or combining 2 or more physical database files into 1. For example, suppose you have the following files out on your server:
Can anyone explain to me how a column defined with a "bit null" datatype is physically stored in MSSQL? Is it stored like a "tinyint null" physically? In other words, how many bytes on the row on the page does a "bit null" datatype consume (assuming a non-null value 0, or 1 is the current value).
Is there any good documentation about the physical storage layout for a data page?
I have a new server where 32GB of RAM is installed and I have user databases on this server.I am using SQL server 2000 Enterprise edition and Platform is Windows 2003 adv server, which supports upto 128GB of memory.
sp_configure 'awe enabled' is set to 1 and at OS level, AWE is enabled as well.
max server memory (MB) is 2147483647
I was doing some stress test on this server but memory usage doesn't go beyond 180MB....can someone suggest a test for physical RAM ?
How can I make sure that application will make full use of available physical memory?
Is there an alert for physical memory in SQL2K5? My requirement is - I should get an alert when the free space on a particular drive comes below a threshhold.

My server has 16GB RM but it is using only 3GB. And I see my server is using 3GB of Virtual Memory, too. Why my physical memory is not being utilized? How can I increase Physical Memory usage and decrease VM usage?
I just inherited a dev box, and need to do some performance analyzing on a 40 gig db for a client. Time is of the essence!
My question is that this dev box only has one disk partition (c: drive). Is it a huge deal that I don't have the db system files on one drive, with the data files on another, and tempdb on another,etc.....
Hello all,We are in the process of upgrading our SQL physical server (with SS2k). Inthe process we will change the OS form NT4 to W2K. What is the best way tocopy all my databases and SQL logins, roles, jobs, alerts, etc. from myactual (old) SQL Server to my new one?Thanks for your time.Yannick
I need to bulk insert very large amount of data into several MSSQLtables.The first Data model definition used identities to mantain relationshipbetween those tables but we found that natural keys (compound) arebetter forbulk insert (there is no need to obtain the identity first)My question is, changing the identities to natural keys (in some tablesinorder of 4, 5 attributes) will enlarge my database storage?I think MSSQL implements relationships with pointers (or hashcodes), sothestorage size will be similar, right?Regards,
I got a server that has a RAID-5 array partitioned into C: and D:drives (OS Win2K Adv. Server installed on C:). The server also has amapping to a NAS device using the latest protocols that trick thesystem into thinking the map is actually a local SCSII drive. That'sdrive X:.This server is used only for SQL, and contains an OLTP database thatsees a lot of use and is pretty heavily indexed.I am toying with the idea of centralizing my data storage on the NAS(data center network segment is 1-gigabit ethernet). So I wasthinking about putting my primary data file on the NAS (drive X:) andkeeping all tables there, creating a secondary data file on localRAID-5 (drive D:) and putting all non-clustered indexes there, as wellas keeping the tempdb there and specifying the sort in tempdb option.Log files would also remain on D:.If anyone can suggest a better scenario given the above setup - I'dlove to hear it. Much appreciated.Alexey Aksyonenko
Are there any problems or issues with backing up a transaction log to a physical file with the ".bak" extension? We are having some trouble with are hourly trans log backups and I was wondering if this could be part of the problem. Tom.
We have a sql 2005 server with 8GB of RAM. Task Manager shows that it only has 198,250k (about 200 MB) of Physical Memory available. I wonder if that number should be higher.
What can I check (Perfmon counters? Which ones?) to indicate it that's too little RAM, the right amount, or too much.
I usually crate relation with database but not use physical relation * My question is if crate physical relation is best way or not and what advantage and disadvantage of physical relation and if it the best way to make relation
I'm in the midst of planning how to build an NT box to host SQL 7.0 and was wondering if there is any advantage to segregating the RAID 5 Array (5 x 18GB drives) into numerous *logical* partitions to separate database and log files (I can't see what advantage there would be if the disks are all on the same array, but..)
If anyone has any pointers or links to recommended NT configurations for hosting SQL, I'd appreciate hearing them.
hi, I change the PC name. so now @@servername returns the oldname. I try sp_dropserver and I got an error:
Msg 15015, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_dropserver, Line 42 The server '[IBM-E81EB247FF3]' does not exist. Use sp_helpserver to show available servers.
Hi all,I'm new to SQLServer (Express edition) so I was wondering: if the webhost supports SQLServer 2005 do I just need to move the .MDF file to mydirectory on the web host to be able to use it?Thanks,Lorenzo
Whatever you do, don't try aspwebhosting.com . One day recently I gotan email from them saying that my account had been suspended for usingtoo much cpu time. There was no further explanation. Those bastardstook my site offline, removed my email account, blocked my ftp accessand even refused to let me get a backup of sql-server data. I sentthem an email (using a yahoo account since they had shut down my ownserver) to ask what I could do to get my data. Rather than answer myemail they simply put me their BLOCK list. All of my emails are nowautomatically bounced. I only sent them one email and it was verypolite. My website is gone. My data is gone. All of my files aregone. The loss of time and effort combined with damage to my businessis unforgivable
I am looking for a free ms sql database for my programs, but i don't want to host it on my computer, because my web host does not allow servers to be run and people connecting to thme.
when I run the Query "Select @@ServerName" it is providing the server name which is not same as I connect to SQL Server.example : My SQL Server Name is "XXX123" and when I run the above query it is Printing as "YYY123"
I am trying to send files over to an ftp server on Mainframe using scripts that is provided in this link, but I can't get it to work. The problem is the sendfile method concatinates the source file name to the MVS dataset name which causes the issue.
Here's my code (FTPConn is a connecation mgr for FTP):
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Math
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Public Class ScriptMain
Public Sub Main()
Dim mgr As ConnectionManager
mgr = Dts.Connections("FTPConn")
Dim conn As FtpClientConnection
conn = New FtpClientConnection(mgr.AcquireConnection(DBNull.Value))
Dim toFiles As String
toFiles = "ftpp.a.b.xxxxx.yyyyyy.int"
Dim fromFiles(0) As String
fromFiles(0) = "c: est.txt"
Try
conn.Connect()
conn.SendFiles(fromFiles, toFiles, True, True)
Catch ex As Exception
Finally
conn.Close()
End Try
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
End Class
Output:
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC001602A at Package, Connection manager "FTPConn": An error occurred in the requested FTP operation. Detailed error description: 200 Representation type is Ascii NonPrint

hi we are in the process of developing a project and we r at the initial phase i.e. at the analysis phase and we have been discusssing on what is physical and logical database design. can any body send any links or articals on this will be hightly appreciated.
Hi, i'm trying to interface a c# application with an sql database created with Visual Web Developer Express. I have published the site (and the db) on iis 5 (xp pro). Everithing goes fine on accessing the database from internet,but when i try to connect the db while it's opened with my c# program i keep an error in the sqlconnection open command: Unable to open the physical file "C:myApp_Datamydb.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(The file is in use by another process.)". My connection string from webconfig: <add name="MYDBCS" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;Database="C:myApp_Datamydb.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> .....and the connection string for the c# program: "Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Database=c:myapp_datamydb.mdf;Integrated Security=False;Connect Timeout=30;User ID=abc;Password=abc;Trusted_Connection=False;"; I have used a user to connect the database because there was a conflict trying to open the db with Integrated Security=True.
Does anyone have an idea where is the error? Many thanks Max
Any help appreciated! Is there any performance enhancements to be gained by storing frequently 'trigger-written-to' databases on a seperate disk to the source database? In particular, we keep a 'history' database of all inserts/updates/deletes against records, activated by triggers, and I was wondering if I would gain performance enhancement by locating the two databases on different disks? Thanks in advance
Can someone recommend an application that produces an estimate of the size of a database from column definitions and estimated number of rows in each table? -- Thanks
Hi Everybody, I like to compute the actual physical database file size using queries.
From the EM database properties, the file size shown is not matching with the master..sysaltfiles.size
Ex. Actual file size is 12MB and 1MB for MDF & LDF respectively. 'sysaltfiles' shows 1464 & 96 resp. Since they are shoing it as 8K Pages, 96*8 = 768KB is not matching with 1024KB for the LDF file. Is there any overheads (additional space from the physical file for file headers) allocated?
