I am new to MS SQL 7.0, I like to know what is the best way to move the location of a database to a new path on the same machine.
I have mostly MS SQL 7.0 sp3, only one MS SQL 6.5 with sp5.
I'm a beginner user. I'd like to move the whole database from a work station to a server, how should I do it in a safe way? First of all, I have a very basic question: How could I save a database in SQL Server? Thanks in advance.

View 1 Replies View Relatedhi, does anyone know how can i move a group of ssis packages from the original path into another one in the same server???? from ssis services? just like we do it with the windows explorer????
thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!!
Using the "move" command it's possible to relocate e.g. datasources without negatively impacting reports that use them. We've got some folders where users have uploaded images for reuse in several reports as external images (2008 R2).
Now I'm trying to consolidate these folders. Yet it seems, moving images will not update the reports that use them as it happens with datasource. Instead, the link to the image breaks.
Is there a way to move the images and telling the reports that reference them that I did so?
hello everyone. i am new to the group so i aplogize if this question hasbeen answered recently...our sql db machine is too old. we bought a new server with which to replaceit. the trick is, we want to keep the name of the machine and db instancethe same.obviously, we don't plan on having two machine with the same name on thenetwork at the same time. how do we handle this?my first thought is to name the new machine with a new name (mach2),transfer over all the db's, take the old one (mach1) off of the network.rename the machine/instance to the old one (mach1).if i do this, can i drop the original instance on the new machine(mach2)-->register the new (mach1)? will my data be there?Thanks so much for any relplies!!!

Hey,
I have copied a C# express edition project from another machine and have opened the project up and changed the connection string but the project is not updating the database when I try to insert values from textboxes in forms. They seem do be getting into the dataset but not the sql datatabase.
I am getting alot of messages saying that it could not find the schema information for the dataset. Could these errors have anything to do with the project?
What else do I have to change in the project?
Thanks in advance.

I am moving my SQL 2000 Server from a Small Business Server to a full version of Windows 2000 Server and SQL 2000 Server. I have had no experience doing this but have backed up and restored my production databases for practice in case a of disaster situation. Is there anything special I need to do to move everything, including the system databases to a new server and not loose any of the user logons, etc.?
Thanks for any advice,

Hi,
I have a bunch of SSIS packages that were created on a 32-bit machine (OS as well as SQL Server) where they run without error. I have moved them to a machine with a 64-bit OS as well as 64-bit Enterprise SQL Server, SP2. Initially I encountered errors with the packages that contained Script Transformation tasks where I had to set PreCompile=True. This allowed me to execute the packages individually. When I try and execute them as a batch, I encounter errors on various packages. They don't seem to be consistent - sometimes the error occurs on one package, the next time it will be on a different package. Sometimes they occur pre-execute, sometimes post-execute. Here are a couple of example errors:
[OLE DB Command [1007]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Communication link failure". An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. ".
[Insert Destination [1177]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Communication link failure". An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. ".
The source database is on a different server, but the destination database is on the same server as the SSIS packages for testing purposes. Any information would be appreciated...
Thanks.
Hi everybody.
I have such problem:
After I move my integration services packege to another machine it failed. I tried to recreate connection manager, but result is the same. If I create a simple SQL task in that package and try to execute it - it fails with info:
SSIS package "Main_Package.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC00291EC at Execute SQL Task, Execute SQL Task: Failed to acquire connection "SRV-DSA3.TIA_EXTRACTS_OriginalData.sa". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.
Task failed: Execute SQL Task
SSIS package "Main_Package.dtsx" finished: Success.
But when I create it(SQL task) in the new package - it works perfectly. Maybe somebody could help solving this problem.
Thanks for any information.
Books On Line makes breaking out the report server databases on to a separate machine from the report server itself sound very easy. I have tried it and it is but I can't get the report server to connect to the databases once they are on the other machine.
Everything was done by the book(s). We use SSRS only for intranet use so all inside firewall. The SQL Server 2005 services on both machines (including the RS Windows service) all run as the same domain administrator account, this account was used to log in to RS Config Tool and it was told to use this account under Windows Authentication to connect to the database server. The two machines are in the same domain, even on the same switch. The only difference is the one with report server on is Windows 2000 Server SP4 and the one to which the rs databases are moving is Windows Server 2003 SP1. The account mentioned above has sysadmin rights on both SQL Servers, as well as having all the RSExecRole rights as specified in BOL. And it has rights to logon as a service in group policy on both machines. Its password hasn't been changed.
The RS Config Tool completed fine and reported no errors.
But when you try to connect to the report server you get the error:
"The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. The logon failed. (rsReportServerDatabaseLogonFailed)" The log shows that a privilege required by the client is missing but doesn't specify what! I thought this was all taken care of when the RS Config Tool told it which account to connect with.
This is driving me daft. It should be so easy!! Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? Nothing says I need to do anything with the encryption key when I am keeping the report server itself exactly as it was and just moving the catalog - or have I missed something here?
Grateful for any ideas.

When trying to install Business Contact Manager (BCM) for Outlook 2007, the setup failed and I was refered to a log file in my Local Settings/Temp folder. The log actually says that Business Contact Manager was installed sucessfully! BCM is supposed to install SQL Express 2005 as an instance or as instance if SQL Express is already installed. There is an MSSMLBIZ instance in Services..
Who can I send the Log File to for analysis and the fix feedback?
When I first went into Computer Management and clicked on Services and Applications in the left panel, the error message appeared "Snap-in failed to intialize. Name: SQL Server Configuration Manager CLSID:{CA9F8727-31DF-41D2-975C-887D84903967} This message diappeared when I clicked on Services and Applications again. Under Services, there are 3 SQL services - one is an application that was uninstalled 3-4 weeks ago and I disabled this service. The other 2 are: SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) and the other one is SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) When I tried to start either of the last 2, the message appeared: Services "Could not start the SQL Server (MSSMLBIZ) service on Local Computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified. Under Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/MSSGL.1 folder is mostly empty. So, it seems like the Path in the Registry is not valid and that nothing is being installed in the MSSQL.1 folder. If so, how do I fix this?
How do I get the BCM SQL instance to install and run properly? what do the messages in Services mean and how do I resolve these.
Thank you!

Hey everyone,
I'm in the midst of setting up hMailServer on my server and at one point it tells me to enter the name of my database I setup for my email. I entered my database name along with the username and password to access the database. What I'm lost on is the database server address. I thought that would be localhost but I wasn't quite sure and I was hoping that someone might be able to help me with this.

Hey guys,
I uploaded my website from VWD Express to ipower. My database did not work, which I have learned upon some research should have not been a shock to me, but most definetely was. When I contacted tech support they told my that my web.config files were pointing to my local paths. That I should change them and I should be fine. Elsewhere, in the knowledge base I found the strConnect that I am under the impression I need to use.
strConnect = "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Server=SQL-A1; UID=account_username; PWD=account_password; Database=user_db_name" oSQLServer.Connect strServer,strLogin,strPwd
The problem is, I'm a complete newbie, learning as I go and I can't find anything on where or how I insert this into my web.config to correct my paths. IPower will not help with coding. I know my current connection string is in web.config in the appsettings, that's about as far as my knowledge goes.
So, could anyone show me how I go about putting this into my web.config? Examples are very helpful :]
On a side note, I've been reading that this is a common problem among newbies like myself. So, is changing these files actually going to work, or am I wasting my time? Also, before I get knee-deep into it, is the database-publishing kit put out by MS the way to go here?
Thanks for any and all replies, you guys are always awesome.

Hi-
I have installed a SQL 2005 software and created 4 instances and 4 databases on each server namely , Adventureworks , sample , testdb1, testdb2.
After creating these many databases , i was very confused to find out the actual database files in Programfiles directory as each instance was created in a separate directory namely MSSQL.1 , MSSQL.2...etc.
how do i identify the correct database path for sample database in instance3.
is there any system tables or stored proc that i can user to identify this path.

Greetings,I have to admit that I'm still a beginner in the database field, but I'mactively studying, and this is why I will be utterly grateful for theproper, accurate, and wise guidance to the right direction or specificpaths of database studies.I simply want to make my first major database project a "personalknowledge database" or a "personal encyclopedia", so to speak. By this Imean that I want to gather diverse, multi-format bits of knowledge intoa single database divided into major categories, sub-categories, and soon. For example, I want to scan collected articles from newspapers &magazine and save them as images, type hand-written notes into thecomputer and save them as MS Word or Text files, save audio files withsearchable keywords, even save searchable MS OneNote audio & text files,all into directories & sub-directories. Then I want to be able to searchall these files for specific words or subjects; sort them according todate, subject, etc; update, add to or append, edit, or even cut & paste(within) any of those records in the database, which rely on easilycustomizable formats like text & images (in contrast with audio files orOneNote files, for example).I also want to prevent wasting time in the future, by avoidingrepetitive, same-keywords typing for every non-text new entry, like animage or audio file, by having a customizable keyword list open (byright clicking for example), where one could mark all the relevantkeywords for the picture or audio file. Also have a short descriptionfor each one of those entries when needed. And I want to be able to addslick, good-looking graphics to the interface of the database and theforms of the records.Basically, my priorities include: saving time filling the database withknowledge, quickly & accurately finding the future targets of anysearch, presenting the search results in a highly comprehensible &organized form, and a good looking interface & forms for every entry,which are pleasing to the eye and encouraging to study.I already use graphics applications for the "looks" part. So my questionis: what are the technologies or applications that I should learn byheart and use in order to design such a database in the best way? WouldMS Access alone do it all for me? Or should I learn other technologies?I'll be grateful for anyone taking the time to help. Thanks.Sincerely,Yasso"Claiming that God does not exist because there are people suffering anddying is like saying that barbers do not exist because there are peoplewith long hair!

I have a database that I have made with Sql Server 2005 Express. I am building a windows app using this db as the back end. I am using visual C# Express as well.
I found out during this project that I had to detach my database in order to establish a new connection to it using the express editions. I learned that this is a short coming of the Sql Server 2005 Express Edition. So I detached my db. When I reattached my database the name had the path to where the file was in it's name. I don't think I have done anything to cause this. But, obviously something went wrong.I have a jpeg screenshot of this but can't post it in this forum.
I created another small database as a test to see if the same thing would happen again. The database only has one table with two columns. I detached and then reattached it with no problems. It did not get the weird file name that automatically included the path to the file.
Does any one know what is going on with this? Do you know how I can reattach this database and only have the original name(not the path to the file)?
Thanks
Hi, I've to restore a bk into a new DB, because the old one has a lot of devices created on different places and phisical disks.
Im not sure to do that, cause Ive heard some problems with this action.
The old Db has 10 devices of data and 10 devices of log, and I want to create only one device of data (sum of all the data devices) and only one device of log (sum of all log devices)
Is it possible or not?
Tnx a lot!
Hi,
In my system, for creating a databae the default path is in C: drive, but iwant to change into D: drive as a default path.Please tell me how to change??
I have two, probably related, problems:I have a very simple site. It will be used on the local intranet only. I want to use the windows authentication so users do not have to log on. The aspnetdb has been created using the configuration tool. If I use Server Explorer in vs to work on the site on my local machine, I can open aspnetdb, look at its tables, etc. If I use Server Explorer in vs to work on the site on the server, aspnetdb will not open and gives this error message: ..."network path that is not supported for database files"...Other sites on the same server give the same message, but the sites work. I think this is because they can read the file but not write it; but that is a guess. We have tried everything; my head is ready to explode. We are using SQLServerExpress. It resides on the server's C drive (as does our data database). The web site, and hence the aspnetdb are on the F: drive of the same machine. Does SQLServerExpress treat the F: drive as a UNC drive? If so, are we in deep doo doo? I'm at a loss.As far as logging in: If I debug from vs, the login works beautifully both on my local machine and running from the server using vs. Login does not work when accessing the site from iexplorer. Mystified by that one, too. I tried to implement profiles and they crash, too; that led me to consider a write problem.Don't know what to do; any help is appreciated.

Hello. I am attempting to add a distribution database to an instance of SQL Server on my local PC. I am using SQL 2005 Developer Edition. I am able to set the instance up as a distributor using the following command:
exec sp_adddistributor @distributor = N'computernameinstancename'
I use the following command to create the distribution database:
exec sp_adddistributiondb @database = N'distribution', @data_folder = N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLData',
@data_file_size = 4, @log_folder = N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLData',
I get the following error when executing that command:
Msg 14430, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_adddistributiondb, Line 214
Invalid destination path C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLData.
It's not due to permissions on that particular folder. I have tried using other folders, all with the same results. Also, I am an Administrator on the PC, so I have full permissions. I have tried running the SQL Server services as myself and Local System. Same results both times. Co-workers with apparently the same setup are able to create the distribution database without a problem.
Has anybody had this type of problem?
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I am working on a Hospital Information System project with a team of 6.Each one of us builds or modifies a part of the system and shares the project over a common repository. The problem here is that we use the absolute path of the database in our connection string. Although the directory structure of our project is the same for each member, since the main project folder itself is stored in different locations on each person's computer (for example, one may have it stored in c:My Documents and the other in d: My Documents), we are forced to modify the connection string manually each time someone else from the team updates the repository with the database. How do we make the path of the database relative so that we don't have to modify the connection string manually each time after receiving an update from the repository?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Hello Everyone
I want to install only the Reporting Service (and Analyzing Service) on a machine without any database (I will create a dedicated SQL Machine later on). Now, after the installation process I can see a SQL Server in my Installed Programs View. To me this looks like a complete SQL Server installation,but this is not what I wanted (I only checked the two services during the Setup). Or are those just some supoorting components?
Thanks
