I'm looking for a free tool akin to SQL Server Enterprise Admin that i can use to administrate some of my databases on remote hosting from my home PC... any recommendations?
View 2 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know of a good (free) tool that will compare the structure of two databases. Something that will compare Stored Procedures and Views would be great.Thanks.
View 3 Replies View RelatedCurrently we use a SQL maintenance plan to do a full backup of all our databases daily (about 40 databases on our production server). As you can imagine, this eats up disk space quickly so currently we manually zip the backup files and/or move them to an archive drive. I considered writing an application to walk through the backup folder structure and zip any .bak file it finds, but I know there are some third party tools out there that will backup/restore a MS SQL database.
I was wondering if any of these also zip the backups once they are created. Any recommendations or suggestions are welcome.
SQL 7.0 SP1.
We do SQL Server backup and also third part backup (with SQL agent active) of SQL Server databases.
Sometimes happen this situation:
01.00 SQL Server backup of DB1
01.00 third part backup of DB1
02.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.30 SQL Server differnatial DB backup of DB1
04.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
or this situation:
01.00 SQL Server backup of DB1
02.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
03.10 third part backup of DB1
03.30 SQL Server differnatial DB backup of DB1
04.00 SQL Server T-LOG backup of DB1
My questions now are:
Are my SQL Server backups valid (DB,Differenatial and T-LOG)?
In case of a restore operation, can I use my SQL Server backups without problem?
In other words, can we leave the third part backup tool active or it should be taken away?
Can anybody clarify this for me?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I know SQLLiteSpeed is one best tool for MSSQL server Backup Recovery.
And also I wanted know that the top 5 best tools for MSSQL server Backup/Recovery.
Hi ...
I really need a tool that doesn't make a backup of all content of my database, and I don't want a script with just a schema of it.
I want a backup of just some columns and the data that has in them.
I know that It has a tool, but I never heard about it, and It's too important, so much that now I'm needing.
Anyone knows something?
Thanks
HI
I am trying to find a pure web based backup restore tool that can be used on MS SQL 2000.
I have found a few that claim to be web based, but then it tells you to log into your MS SQL server and make some adjustments.
I know that microsoft Enterprise manager comes with a backup / restore tool. but 1) i dont want to have to install a complete copy of 2005 server, and 2) i dont hav ethe physical space to do it right now anyway. all i need to do is move 2 databases from one account to another.
thanks
Hi,
Can I backup my sql db from my asp.net page?
if yes, how?
if no, how can I backup my db from my appliction?
Thanks alot.
Few years daily backup-job was fine
but now it gives error:
Msg 3023, Level 16, State 1, Server srvr1, Procedure , Line 1
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Backup, CHECKALLOC, bulk copy,
SELECT INTO, and file manipulation (such as CREATE FILE) operations on a
database must be serialized. Reissue the statement after the current backup,
CHECKALLOC, or file manipulation operation is completed.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Server srvr1, Procedure , Line 1

==================
any ideas what could be reason of this error... and maybe how to fix it?
DB file size - about 5GB
free disk space - about 8GB (+5GB for backup file)
Hi I'm an experienced programmer, but just don't have much experience with ASP or MSSQL. I inherited a website and now need to set up an automated backup system for a fairly large (40MB) MSSQL database hosted by a 3rd party provider of reasonable quality with ASP and SQL Server 2000. Let's avoid ASP.NET solutions since the website I inherited is written in "straight up" ASP (old school).
I have access to the database, login etc. I'm thinking I should combine an ASP script with the database connectivity and write daily/weekly backups to a dir on the hosting server.
Where do I begin? Tools? Examples?
Thanks for any assistance.

ok, here is an interesting one.
We have multiple jobs that run the following SQL Backups to Permanent Backup devices.
Backup Database DBX to DBXFull with NoInit - 1 am
Backup Database DBX to DBXDiff with Differential, NoInit - 12 pm
Backup Log DBX to DBXLog with NoInit - every hour on the hour
the devices are in path E:SQLBackups<databasename>
E: is on a SAN
Every Night E: is backed up by legato, When Legato Starts to backup the directory, at the hour a transaction log backup occurs. The Backup Fails and The Database Is Taken OFFLINE.
Questions are as follows.
What is causing the db to be taken offlline?
How can i stop the db from being taken offline while still mainting my current backup strategy.
Temporarily we have stopped tlog backups during the directory backup phase (legato) and then resume them when it is complete.
Difficulty Level: we will not be using Legato's SQL Plugin for the backups, they have to be performed with jobs and SQL Backup.
Can SQL 2000 initiate backups to 3rd party applications (like LiteSpeedand BrightStor's SQL Backup Agent)? My goal is to be able to managebackup and restores completely through SQL Enterprise Manager and QueryAnalyzer without having to logon to the Server and using the 3rd partybackup application's software. Is this possible through SQL?Thank you,Stephanie
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello, we are running MSSQL 2005 express on a windows 2003 machine. I have looked in SQL Server Management Studio for close to an hour and could not find a way to setup automatic backups of databases. Where is this feature, and short tutorial would be great. Thanks!
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am using an Enterprise Manager and i have created a Database Maintainance Plan, can anybody guide me as to how to create backup on a remote machine.
I also mapped that device(say M/c B) onto my server box(M/c A) but i am not able to see that particular location in my backup activity screen.
Can this be done in the first place ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all.I'm looking for a tool which should act like some kind of middleware/logical layer bewtween the SQL server and the webbased user interface.- It should be possible to easily create simple web forms (only datainput and output) without programming effort by "clicking" the fieldsand their order on the web mask within an admnistrative interface.- It should also be bossible to add "new fields" to the database,including field type, permissions, value lists etc. (excluding anybusiness logic) without programming effort by administration.I know, that most workflow tools or "Trouble Ticket Tools", based ondatabases have this feature to easily configure new masks and add newfields to the database, but i need it as an tool-unspecific layer forthe MS SQL Server.Thank you very much for your feedback, any ideas are welcome!Best regards, Heiko.

Does enabling/disabling Data Execution Prevention have a performanceimpact on SQL 2000 or SQL 2005?For SQL best performance - how should I configure for:Processor Scheduling:Programs or Background servicesMemory Usage:Programs or System Cache
View 9 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am a bit new to the MSSQL server. In our application, we use so many SQL queries. To imporve the performance, we used the Database enigine Tuning tool to create the indexes. The older version of the application supports MSSQL 2000 also. To re-create these new indexes, I have an issue in running these "CREATE INDEX" commands as the statements generated for index creation are done in MSSQL 2005. The statements include "INCLUDES" keyword which is supported in MSSQL 2005 but not in MSSQL 2000.
Ex:-
CREATE INDEX IND_001_PPM_PA ON PPM_PROCESS_ACTIVITY
(ACTIVITY_NAME ASC, PROCESS_NAME ASC, START_TIME ASC, ISMONITORED ASC)
INCLUDE
(INSTANCE_ID, ACTIVITY_TYPE, STATUS, END_TIME, ORGANIZATION);
Any help in creating such indexes in 2000 version is welcome.
Thanks,
Suresh.

Hello:
I am currently work on mssql 6.5. On my workstation, I have mssql 6.5
cient software.
However, I would like to install mssql 7.0 server on my nt workstation
and work with it to become familiar with 7.0. Can I install mssql 7.0
server on my nt workstation? Can mssql 6.5 client coexist with mssql 7.0
on the same machine if they are in different directories?
Thanks.

I've been tasked to move our production databases on MSSQL 2000 to 2005. I've supported MSSQL since version 6.5 and performed migrations to successor versions.
Current Environment is MSSQL 2000 32-bit with current Service Packs.
I've performed mock migrations on Test servers upgrading all Production instances simultaneously from MSSQL 2000 to 2005 32-bit. The Test environment is identical to Production minus server name, IP etc. Also I have a separate server with MSSQL 2005 installed where I use the DETACH / ATTACH and BACKUP / RESTORE method for migration / acceptance testing. There are approximately 30 databases totaling 70 GB. This has gone as expected and fairly successful. Vendors have been coordinated with to update code and staff for acceptance testing.
I'd prefer going directly to MSSQL 2005 64-bit instead if possible due to memory benefits etc. This is where I'd like some feedback prior to borrowing a 64-bit server for testing.
Upgrade options:
1. Is it better to migrate from MSSQL 2000 32-bit to 2005 64-bit via:
a. DETACH / ATTACH
b. BACKUP / RESTORE
c. Is one method more advantageous relating to the end result?
2. Regarding XP clients, have issues been experienced with the default SQL Server driver or is an alternate recommended for XP clients to connect to a MSSQL 64-bit server databases?
3. If you have performed this migration and have relevant experience please pass them along.
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

DB is developed on local computer with MSSQL 2005 Express. My host is on MSSQL 2005 workgroup. Are they compatible, because I am getting errors? Is my approach wrong?
I have tried several approaches.
A) I created a backup of database on my local, then placed a copy on the server. Then I tried to restore through Server Management Studio. I get this error.

B: I also have tried copying the database. I put it in the same path as the other databases that can be read with server management studio on the server. Then, tried to get to it through server managements studio and it did not appear. So I tried to attach it. Then I received this error:

C: I have also tried opening the Database, and back up file through Server Management Studio. without success.
D: I also tried Windows and Software update at microsoft update, but no updates were recommended for Version on Server.
I'm surprised this is so hard. My original data base was created in same family of software. 2005 MS SQL Express. I could use some direct help from someone experienced with this. Am I doing it wrong or are the DB versions incompatible.
