Hi All,
I am working on a third party client product which shrinks all the databases in MS SqlServer based on the rule or parameter that is set. This product will be used in production server which has MS SqlServer 7.0.
My question is: Is it advisable to shrink Master,Model and Msdb databases in an production environment? Please give the reasons.
Thanks

Hi All
Will Rebooting the SQLServer 2000,Is it change recovery model of MSDB Database
Please help...
How can I move the Model database to another location (i.e. from one drive / file location to another)?
I tried sp_detach_db (to be followed up with a sp_attach_db statement) but it rejected it because Model is a "system" database.
I tried (and it failed with a "Modify file command failed" message):
ALTER DATABASE model
modify file
(NAME='modeldev',FILENAME='f:MSSQL7DATAmodel.MDF')
I could not locate any help about moving model in books online (BOL).
Any ideas?
Hi ,
I am trying to move the system database master database and mssqlresource database on SQL Server 2005.
I am going according to the doc's . And I am logging in as single user mode : NET START MSSQLSERVER /f /T3608 and when I try to login into sqlcmd or Management studio , I get the error:
SQL Error 18461 , can not login in more than one administrator server in single user mode.
For the managment studio , I close the object explorer as it is taken as one connection and click the new query with existing connection. But it throws me the same error. When I try to enter into sqlcmd , it throws me the same error.
What can I do here.. IS there anything I am missing.
Thanks

I'm attempting to move my database from one server to the other using attach/detach method. I'm able to reattach everything just fine on the new server but I get the following error when trying to receive messages.
"Service Broker login attempt failed with error. Connection handshake failed. Error 15581 occurred while initializing the private key corresponding to the certificate....."
" Please create a master key in the database or open the master key in the session...."
I have a master key in the master database so I attempted the following:
open master key decryption by password = 'pwd'
alter master key add encryption by service master key
and I receive the following error on the alter master key command:
"An error occurred during decryption"
Any suggestions on how to recover the database to use the same database key? Do I need to regenerate the key?
Thanks for your assistance.
I used the code below to move the Model database and Model log file to new SAN drive locations.
After running the commands I stopped the SQL server and moved the physical files to the correct location.
Now I am unable to start SQL server, I get error 17204 Could not open file:Access is denied
I think the problem maybe that for FILENAME new_path I put "J:SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData"
but did not include model.mdf in the file path.
How do I correct the path now that SQL service won't start?
I have included the log file below.
ALTER DATABASE database_name MODIFY FILE ( NAME = logical_name , FILENAME = 'new_path/os_file_name' )

We're just in the process of moving to 7.0, although SQL 7 has the autogrow feature we'd prefer to size MASTER and MSDB properly in the first place to avoid disk fragmentation. Does anyone have an experience/suggestions as to appropriate sizes, particulary for MASTER?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to move the physical location of the msdb database on a SQL server. However I cannot drop the database with the drop database statement, even setting it to dbo use only and single user mode. I get an error message saying the database is in use. Obviously I do not want to reinstall the server. The reason I want to move it is because it is located in the default dir on the C: drive which is running out of space.
Any ideas.....
Late last Sunday I had to do an emergency rebuild of our SQL Server (v2012). In my haste, I neglected to restore the MSDB and MODEL DBs, and am instead using those which came with the fresh SQL install -- which obviously don't contain my jobs and maintenance plans. Would there be any problem/conflicts with me restoring those DBs this weekend?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a server attached to a SAN, all user db's are on the SAN, master, tempdb, and msdb are on the local machine. We will be replacing the machine (not the SAN) to a newer sql server. Our plan was to create the new server with same name, deattach current user db's,backup master and msdb, then connect new server with same name an IP to SAN. I then wanted to restore the master and msdb db's to the new machine, and attach the user db's. We are running log shipping to a stand-by server in this configuration. I was thinking I could let last tran log backup and copy occur, and then let the last restore happen on the standby. I would then shut down the agent. Should I not be able to restore the MSDB and master to the new server (as long as all file folder locations are the same) and be ready to go? Or are there issues when restoring the Master and MSDB to a new server from a different server.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen SQLserver2K was installed it placed master, model, msdb, tempdb data files in the installation location (i.e. C:Program Files....). This puts pressure on the C: drive, which also holds the page/swapfile. I want to move at least the tempdb location to the new 'Default data directory' and log directory we set after installation (i.e. E:MSSQLData).
How do I get tempdb to relocate to E: given that it gets recreated each time SQLserver starts?
TIA,

Hi All,
Anyone know how to change the directory of system dbs --- master and model dbs? Thanks.
Hi All,
I took a backup of master,model and msdb database which was on D: drive and i tried restore it on C:. Now if i try to start sql server it comes out with a erorr that model database cannot be found and it keeps looking for model in D: drive which is not there.I tried restore of model with move option but it says cannot drop model as its system database.I tried attach detach but it does not understand tempdb as temp db is also on d: and i cannot understand how to move or point it to c:
Suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Hi All,
Here's my situation: I need to move several application db's to a new server. The current server is SQL 7.0 SP2, the new server will be SQL 7.0 SP3.
In order to avoid having the problems of mismatched logins and db user definitions, I'd like to restore the current master over the master that's created at install on the new server.
I was doing some testing of this by trying to restore the 7.0 SP2 master onto a SQL 7.0 DE edition and had some problems. (Obviously, this is not the exact scenario that I need to take place -- I want to restore standard edition to standard edition.)
Is restoring the master db from different service packs under 7.0 going to pose a problem? Is restoring the master db the best way to get around the logins issue when moving db's?
Thanks in advance for all replies.
Does anyone know how to move master db to a differetn drive instead of default c: drive in a named instance environment?
Thanks.

I am interested to hear if people think it would be a good idea to movethe Master & TempDB to a different HD.Here is my DB Server's set up:1. Processor: (1) AMD XP 28002. 1st HD (IDE 0) is the system & boot drive3. (3) SCSI HD make up a hardware RAID level 0 (striped withoutparity)solution - these striped drives are just for my working DBs4. (1) SCSI HD that's not doing anything.I want to put the Master & TempDB on the SCSI HD that's not doinganything. Would that be the best place for it for maximum performance orshould I put in the striped array. I am leaning more towards putting onthe SCSI HD that's not doing anything. What do you all think?Ed*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have an install of SQL MDS 2016 CTP3 which I can access via the web browser and create models etc. I have uninstalled the Excel add-in for 2012 and installed the MDS 2016 CTP3 add-in on Excel 2010. I am able to create a MDS connection and the "Test" reports success in Excel.
However, when I try to connect to a model via the Master Data Explorer to load an entity, Excel hangs with the message "Loading objects for xxxx_Model". My only option is to close Excel via the Task Manager.
Where do I look for more detailed logs? Is there a switch I can use to provide a better debugging experience?
Can i have a combination of sources some with Unique Identifiers and some without?
I need to know what happens when I have option “Create Code values automatically” selected for the entity and same time pulling Unique Identifier for other sources in same entity stage table.
When we select option “Create Code values automatically” for the entity we creates, then during load from external source to MDM stage we don’t send any values to MDM stage “Code” field and in next step when we execute the stored procedure to load the data from MDM stage to MDM model, it assigns the Code values to each record in MDM stage and MDM model.
I need to know whether after executing the store procedure, will it assign Code values for only NULL records in MDM stage and not give us any error for the records that already have Code values present in MDM stage.
My company is new to MDS. I am trying to set an attritube in an entity to read only so the users can't change the value in that field. When I did that, the whole model disappeared. I thought I had deleted it by accident so I created a test model and tried to do the same. The test model disappeared. This time, before saving the new settings I took a snapshot. After saving I took another snapshot. You can see that the whole model is gone (zz_RN_Permissions_Test). I tried every other coworker with admin rights and nobody shows it on the Models list. The behavior on the Excel add-in is correct. I can't change any values on that column. But I need to keep the models available.
See before and after snapshots below.
I am getting ErrorCode 8 while loading the data from stage to model. I have checked my error view it states that "Member Code is Inactive".
Initially I have loaded same set of data in Model from MDS Stage table but then deleted with ImportType = 5 which removed all the data from the MDM model.
Now i want to load it back but its giving the Error Code 8 .. Before loading the same data i have changed the stage table Importtype to 2 and Importstatusid to 0.
I'am doing functionality test on DTS packages and saving my DTS packages to meta data services instead of saving them as local packages.
