I have a 3GB DB that I was running an update script on. The sript failed and ran out of transaction log space. I expanded it and stopped and restarted SQL. The user DB is now marked as recovering. How long should I wait for it to recover? I don't want to have to restore again and start all over with my script. Please help.
(By the way this is a restored DB)
Thanks.

I canceled a restore job, and now the database is marked (Loading). When I go to propertied it tells me "database can't be opened, it's in a middle of a restore" Yet from a Query window I can connect and run queries against that database. Should I just wait until it finishes "Loading" or should I re-start the server?
Thanks
Hello Gurus,
After the power failure my database was marked suspect. According to my associate we will execute SQL command sp_resetstatus. My question is what are the things we have to do first before we execute the command? We are using NT 4.
thanks

View 6 Replies View RelatedAny ideas on how long it should take SQL Server 6.5 running on a 8 Gig RAID 0 array to "recover" a 4 GIG database. I rebooted the machine this morning (seldom ever have any problems with it) and it seems to be taking an awfully long time (15 min so far). I'll let you know what happens in any case.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to recover a database, but unfortunatelly i don´t have any backup... Well, it was not my fault. Anyway, i only have the physical .DAT files of the data and log devices of the database.
Will it work if I create two devices with the same name as the old devices, create a database with the same name as the old database within these devices and then run a full script of my old database, then change the 'phy_name' on the sysdevices to point to where my old dats were, or replacing the current ones with the old ones? If not, will anything else work?
Thanks in advance.

1) How do I reinstall a fresh copy of the MSDB database (since my current
one is corrupt). Is there any script available?
2) What is the purpose of the MSDB database? Backups and jobs/ Wizards?
Thanks for your help.

I accidentally deleted at SQL 2005 database. Is there any way I can get it back? No, there is no backup.
After I restore a database with SQL the database I cannot access it. However, after restoring using Enterprise Manager I do not have the same problem. The message I get is:
Database 'les_test' cannot be opened. It is in the middle of a restore.
The code I am trying to use for the restore is:
RESTORE DATABASE les_test
FROM DISK = 'c:MSSQL7BACKUPiztrobeta_db_200012011201.BAK'
WITH NORECOVERY,
REPLACE,
MOVE 'biztrobeta_PRI' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_PRI.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_FGE_Dat1' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_FGE_Dat1.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_FGX_Idx1 ' TO 'c:mssql7DATAiztrobeta_FGX_Idx1.ndf',
MOVE 'biztrobeta_LOG' TO 'c:mssql7Dataiztrobeta_LOG.ldf'
GO
I tried changing the status in the master..sysdatabases tables, but the restored database was still not accessible. I tried to do this using the following statment:
UPDATE sysdatabases
SET STATUS = 4194316
WHERE name = 'les_test'
GO
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Les
What should I have done? Is there anything that can be done other than restoring from backup?
How does one know if the database is really recovering or is EM just joken? I can wait 2 hours
before starting the restore
I was BCPing 12 million rows into a staging table. II used the '-b' option every 20K which I thought
would do a commit and clear the log in batches. After the process EM appeared to show the transaction log
as empty. Upon inspecting the Bcp output file I discovered the message that the BCP did not complete
because syslogs was full. I could not do a truncate transaction log or a dump database. I tried to
do a truncate transaction with no_log and it appeared to just hang. I stopped the SQL Server thinking
I could dump the transaction log, but could not start the Sql Server again. I then stopped the NT Server
because 'if all else fails'. The SQL Server started but the user database if marked as recovering.
We currently have a company program in foxpro which inputs all of our information into its database. We are trying to shift from this to new updated software and a SQL database. There is a program we created which converts all the data from our old database into our new SQL database in preparation for our final move to the newer software. However, some of the tables in SQL were not taken directly from our old database but rather added in directly after our initial use of SQL, so when we ran our conversion software, a couple of specific tables were wiped because there was no equivilant within our old database. We already altered our conversion program to not touch those tables again, but is there any way to do a roll back or to find a backup of specific tables?

A friend of mine called and said that his database was suspect and he detached it and was unable to attach it. The SQL Server Version is 2000 with the latest service packs installed. When I checked it the database (MDF) size was 1MB and the LDF size was 3.8 GB. I was not able to attach the two together and I was not able to attach the database using sp_attach_single_file_db. I did find an old backup of his database and attached that so he can work off of it but it is 1 yr old and he needs recent data. Since the MDF seemed to be blank we cant do much with that, but there seems to be data in the LDF. Is it possible to extract any data from the LDF file?

Hello,
I was coping database from my sql server 2005 to the same server but with different name. 4 steps completed successfully but the last step failed because the computer on which sql server is running turned off unexpectedly. When the server was running again, the source database was detached. I tried to attached it but sql server is reporting error 5 (system cannot access the specified file) I cannot access the file from windows explorer too. I discovered that the copy of the mdf file exists with the name of the target database but when I try to attach this new mdf file sql server reports that the file is not primary database file. Both files are the same size. What can I do? Thanks

In this database only have one assemblie installed created using Vb.Net 2005, please help me how to diagnose where are the problem.
database : MS SQL server ver 6.50.201
problem: server startup / server time out
details
SQL server shows usage of 100 % CPU utilization, if started automatically / manually. and does not proceed / hangs up(server time out), but win nt operates extremely slow.
The background of the situation in brief is as stated below.
The errorlog was found to have the messages
warning : OPEN OBJECTS parameter may be too low.
Attempt was made to free up descriptors in localdes()
Run sp_configure to increase parameter value.
Error : 644, severity : 21, state; state 1
the non clustered leaf row entry for page 2 row 1 was not found in index page 40 indexid 2 database 'tempdb'
Error : 2620 severity 21 state 3
the offset of the row number at offset 32 does not match the entry in the offset table of the follwoing page : page pointer = 0x1395800, page no= 40, status = 0x2, objectid = 1, indexid = 2
Action taken
I used the sp_option to increase the open objects from default 500 to 1000, and the LE threshold maximum value to 400 from the default 200.
after which I used reconfigure go and restarted the computer to take the effect. The following did work fine and server was working ok. But then from yesterday I am having the problem that the MS SQL sever is utilizing the cpu to 98 - 99 % and I am not able to connect to the server.
I tried to start the server with the minimal configuration by specifying the -f option in the service manager start up options, it showed the following message
00/12/07 10:40:49.73 ods Unable to connect. The maximum number of '5' configured user connections are already connected. System Administrator can configure to a higher value with sp_configure.
00/12/07 10:40:50.02 ods Unable to connect. The maximum number of '5' configured user connections are already connected. System Administrator can configure to a higher value with sp_configure.
afterwhich I tried with the option of starting the sql server with the option -c -f
which in the event detail of the win nt shows
"mesg 18109: Recovery dbid 6 ckpt(55813,8) oldest tras= (55813,0)"

Hi
I am in a trouble without doing any mistake. I restarted while in parallely my sql server was restarting i.e I opened a management studio.
When it booted up next time. I see that my database is gone. Though it is showed up in the server but has no node below it.
I then checked the mdf files and ldf files and found mdf file to be of 0 KB and ldf file is of 1.73 GB. My database was in full recovery mode but i did not take any database backup.
Here ais the entry from my SQL server log:
The operating system returned error 38(Reached the end of the file.) to SQL Server during a read at offset 0000000000000000 in file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATAHello.mdf'. Additional messages in the SQL Server error log and system event log may provide more detail. This is a severe system-level error condition that threatens database integrity and must be corrected immediately. Complete a full database consistency check (DBCC CHECKDB). This error can be caused by many factors; for more information, see SQL Server Books Online.
I wonder if now there is a case to recover my database..Can I restore/recover the database from .ldf file as it was in full recovery model?Any help i shighly appreciated.
Hi! maybe this question is very common, but i can resolve that. I have a DB marked 'loading', and nothing seems to change this state. Is any way to revert to a normal state, or the only way is destroy and re-create?
Thanks in advance
Hi all,
I want to know if the System.Xml.XmlTextReader is marked with Host Protection Attributes(HPA) in the SQL Server 2005 CLR. I ask this because when I add a custom class that inherits from System.Xml.XmlTextReader, I get a code access security error at runtime. I am able to register the assembly just fine. I have tested it with all the cases and pretty much sure my code breaks in this class.
My code snippet is shown below:
public class CustomXmlTextReader : XmlTextReader
{
......
......
}
Doesn't really matter what is in this class. It gives an expection even when there is no code inside.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jai
I have SQL Express SP1 installed on serveral machines, each has one instance and each instance has more than one database.
Recently, I found out some dbs are marked Suspect. MOM tool reported something like:
The database "your-DB" in the instance "Your-Instance" is in a critical state. The state is: Suspect.
I tried to run "DBCC CHECKDB", but it failed.
Can someone tell me what could cause the problem, and how to fix it?
Thanks,

Hi all,
I have a big problem with a Database on SQL-Server7.0 running on windows 2000 advanced server. The msdb database is marked suspect. I have tried a few suggestions in the SQL BOL but no luck.
Can anyone help please!

We only have a training data on the server presently. Does anybody has any other suggestions? Please help. Thanks for your assistance.

I've got trouble -- somehow my msdb is corrupt and is marked as "suspect". I cannot open it up or it is apparently devoid of any table, etc.
It's on my SQLExpress instance and I'm willing to blow the entire server away -- since this server has been used as a sandbox for personal use.
Can I simply re-install SQLExpress?
