Problem In Restoring Database In User Instance

Mar 17, 2007

Hi, Folks. I hate to have to come back and ask about restores right after I had to ask about Back ups, but I'm in a bind and can't seem to find other resources that address this issue.

I'm using VB Express 2005 and SQL Express 2005 to develop a windows form application that uses a User Instance of a database. With help from this forum, I was able to get the backup working. Now, I can't get the restore to work. Here's the code I'm using:

Dim SqlConnection As SqlClient.SqlConnection = New SqlClient.SqlConnection(My.Settings.NCSConnectionString)

SqlConnection.Open()

Dim ServerConnection As ServerConnection = New Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection(SqlConnection)

Dim srv As Server = New Server(ServerConnection)



'Declare a BackupDeviceItem by supplying the backup device file name in the constructor, and the type of device is a file.

Dim bdi As BackupDeviceItem

bdi = New BackupDeviceItem(My.Settings.DefaultBackUpPath & "NCS_Full_Backup1.bak", DeviceType.File)



''Define a Restore object variable.

Dim rs = New Restore

'Set the NoRecovery property to true, so the transactions are not recovered.

rs.NoRecovery = True

rs.ReplaceDatabase = True

'Add the device that contains the full database backup to the Restore object.

rs.Devices.Add(bdi)

rs.NoRecovery = False

'Specify the database name.

rs.Database = SqlConnection.Database.ToString()

'Restore the full database backup with no recovery.

rs.SqlRestore(srv)

'Inform the user that the Full Database Restore is complete.

MsgBox("Full Database Restore complete.")

The error is:

- InnerException {"RESTORE cannot process database 'C:DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGSMARCOSMY DOCUMENTSVISUAL STUDIO 2005PROJECTSWORKING COPY OF NCSNCSBINDEBUGNCS.MDF' because it is in use by this session. It is recommended that the master database be used when performing this operation.
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally."} System.Exception

I think that I need to either free up something that's locking the database or I need to switch to the master table in the User Instance. I tried a number of variations in attempt to try both of these avenues without sucess.

I'd really appreciate any guidance that I might be able to get.

Thank you,

MF

More On Restoring Database In User Instance - Exclusive Use Not Obtained

Apr 11, 2007



Hi all. I have read and implemented the very helpful threads on backing up and restoring with user instance posted with MFriedlander. Thank you. However, during the rs.SqlRestore(srv) command I am getting the following error "Restore failed for Server '\.pipe4A1F91FF-F6FE-45 sqlquery'. "
"Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use."

I have implemented the changedatabase method as described in that thread.

SqlConnection.ChangeDatabase("master")

right before the line

rs.SqlRestore(srv)

I do not use the default instance of sql express, but I do use an instance called 'test' for my app. Should my changedatabase method also refer to my sql instance?

I am running from VS 2005 debug (F5) when it fails and cannot think of anything that would be locking it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Below is the full code of the restore.

Robert



Dim sqlconnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(My.Settings.dbTestConnectionString)

sqlconnection.Open()

MsgBox(sqlconnection.Database.ToString())

Dim ServerConnection As ServerConnection = New ServerConnection(sqlconnection)

Dim srv As Server = New Server(ServerConnection)

'Declare a BackupDeviceItem by supplying the backup device file name in the constructor, and the type of device is a file.

Dim bdi As BackupDeviceItem

bdi = New BackupDeviceItem(txtRestoreFile.Text, DeviceType.File)

''Define a Restore object variable.

Dim rs As New Restore

'Set the NoRecovery property to true, so the transactions are not recovered.

rs.NoRecovery = True

rs.ReplaceDatabase = True

'Add the device that contains the full database backup to the Restore object.

rs.Devices.Add(bdi)

'don't know why the below norecovery is changed to false

rs.NoRecovery = False

'Specify the database name.

rs.Database = sqlconnection.Database.ToString()

sqlconnection.ChangeDatabase("master")

'Restore the full database backup with no recovery.

Failed To Generate A User Instance Of SQL Server Due To A Failure In Starting The Process For The User Instance - Vista Business

Feb 20, 2007

Got windows Vista Business edition, installed Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Server 2005 Express SP2, SQL Server Management Studio SP1 in that order.  I was developing in VWD express without problems using WinXP but now on Vista Business, the local connection to SQL server appears to be a problem.
I know there's nothing wrong with my web.config or anything like that as it was working perfectly prior to running under Vista.  If i specify the database on the live website, it works fine.  If I specify the test database in app_data folder, I get the following exception:-

Another small issue, when I run the application from VWD, I always have to minimise the application and restore it as the graphics get corrupt.
Please help!! I cannot debug when running of the live website.

Failed To Generate A User Instance Of SQL Server Due To A Failure In Starting The Process For The User Instance

May 25, 2006

Hello everyone,

I am new in .NET development and currently trying to learn VWB through Microsoft online tutorials.

Here is the problem that prevents me from getting further:

in VWB, when you right click App_Data and chose "Add New Item" and then select SQL database, the following error message is displayed:

"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed."

If I cancel out of it, it does generate mdf file under App_Data folder in Solution Explorer, but when I try to open it, it says:

"The item does not exist in the Web directory. t may have been moved, renamed or deleted." and that is where the whole sharade deadends.

I can connect via mycomputersqlexpress under Data Connections in Database Explorer (it then adds "master.dbo" to the path) and then create custom tables, but that is not the same, isn't it? I mean, this will not integrate my database tables through default configuration that I am trying to follow?

All this happens on local machine.

Thanks to everybody who can help!

Jeff

How To Fix Failed To Generate A User Instance Of SQL Server Due To A Failure In Starting The Process For The User Instance

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition

Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
---------------------------
OK

I was able to do do this before until Saturady when I had to re-install sql server, and express etc due to some system problem on my xp Pro PC. What have I misconfigured?


I do see the service SQL Serer(SQLEXPRESS) started under Network Service and SQL Serfver(MSSQLSERVER) started under local system.

My power user ID does have modify access to the sql 90 database folders. and to the mdf.

Failed To Generate A User Instance Of SQL Server Due To A Failure In Starting The Process For The User Instance

Mar 12, 2006

No wonder Microsoft is giving it away for free. It€™s not worth anything. I am very disappointed in this version of SQL server. I decided to start learning VB so I downloaded and installed VB 2005 express edition and SQL 2005 express. I tried to build a personal website using the starter kit. I kept getting the following error message, for which I have seen numerous postings on this forum.
€œFailed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.€?
I went out and bought the Standard version of VS 2005 thinking there may be a feature that the free express version is lacking. I uninstalled the express version, cleaned the registry, deleted all the folders it created and installed the Standard edition. Then I tried to create a personal web using the starter kit and it does the same thing again.
I can not create a database file, connect to a database file. I can not create or attach a database on the SQL 2005 express from VS 2005. The SQL server Express seems to be working OK since I can attach to it using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. There is something about the way VS tries to connect to the database server that is not working. VB does recognize the local computer as a SQL server but can not connect to it.
SQL server is set to accept Shared memory, TCP/IP and named pipes for local clients.
What is causing this?
This is some information on the system I am using:

MS XP (SP2)

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727
Installed Edition: Standard

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.1399.00
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2000.085.1117.00 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Microsoft MSXML 2.6 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.42
Operating System 5.1.2600

I am now to programming but nor computer illiterate. I have been working with MS SQL servers since version 6.5 and have MCSE, Network+, A+ and Security plus certifications. Installing and using VS should not be this problematic. What is wrong with Microsoft?

User In Instance Vs Database

Nov 28, 2012

I'm database novice and would like to get confirmation or correction on my understanding of the difference between a user under a sql server instance vs a user in a sql server database. For example, a user can be added under Instance-->Security--Login and a user can be added under Instance-->Databases-->Database Name-->Security-->Users.

Is the difference that the login under the instance is used for logging into the database via management studio and the user under the database is for database access? Also, is one dependent on the other? So if I want to add a user to the database, they have to be added to the instance first?

User Instance Property In VWD Express Database

Mar 3, 2007

Hi,
As per my understanding, if the user instance property is set to true for an express database then it is not multiuser/shared. A copy of the database is made for each user so he works on his private data. On the other hand, if user instance property is set to false then the express database is multiuser/shared. Thus different users will connect to the same instance of the database and changes by one user will be seen by the other users.
Now, if we use an express database with asp.net and our application is installed on IIS then it is mandatory for the express database to have the user instance property set to true. But we see that in this case when different users visit our website, the data they enter goes into the same common database, ie. all the users share the same common database, even though user instance is true for the express database.
Please shed some light to explain the correct functionality of the user instance property as related to the express database.
Regards, Sandy

RDA Push Error Another User Has Opened The Database With Different Instance-level Initialization Properties. [ 32 ]

Mar 3, 2008



Hi all,

I'm using VS2005 + SQL Compact 3.1 and Enterprise Library 3.1 May 2007

I can successfully create a db using pull method, when I try to push back data I got the following SQLCE error:

"Another user has opened the database with different instance-level initialization properties. [ 32 ]"

Before calling the push method I did

SqlCeDatabase eCE = Helper.GetDB() as SqlCeDatabase;
eCE.CloseSharedConnection();
SqlCeConnectionPool.CloseSharedConnections();
SqlCeRemoteDataAccess rda = new SqlCeRemoteDataAccess();
rda.InternetUrl = webSynchronizationUrl;
rda.InternetLogin = webuser;
rda.InternetPassword = webpass;
rda.LocalConnectionString = eCE.ConnectionStringWithoutCredentials;


but after the assignment the LocalConnectionString is different from ConnectionStringWithoutCredentials, there are much more ssce parameters.

What I don't understand is:

why I'm getting this error even after closing the connection ?

Since the error report [32] the ssce conflicting parameters shoud be AUTO_SHRINK_THRESHOLD, FLUSH_INTERVAL and MAX_DATABASE_SIZE

I tried to cut & paste the same values from LocalConnectionString into app.config connection string, at first It seemed to work, but now I got the same error.

Any help will be greatly appreciated



Thanks

Unable To Open User Instance Type Database After Attaching And Detaching In SQL Mgmt Studio

Apr 15, 2007

I've been using my DotNetNuke database for weeks on my local PC with SQL Server Express. It attaches as a "User Instance". Basically, I am using all the DotNetNuke defaults. Today I decided to attach the DotNetNuke database in SQL Server Management Studio Express and peek at the tables. I attached the database; then I detached it when I was done. This all went well. But when I tried to open my DotNetNuke web site again I now get a message that it cannot connect. Attaching and detaching the database in SQL Server Management Studio obviously changed something about the database, but I don't know what. My connection string to the database has not changed.



The specific error displayed in the browser is:
ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider

In event viewer is this message:

Exception information:

Exception type: SqlException

Exception message: Cannot open user default database. Login failed.

Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.



My connection string is this:

<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />



Any suggestions about how I can correct this?

Restoring System Db's On New Instance

Mar 29, 2007

Hi There



We have a database server that must be completely re-setup, the hard drives will be replaced and the OS and Sql Server 2000 EE edition re-installed from scratch, a fresh new instance.

However the client has requested that we restore the master and msdb databases of the old instance over the new one once it is installed.



Now is this ok to do ? Can i simply restore a backup of master and msdb ont he new instance and what is the correct procedure to do this ?



I am not to worried about the user DB's i will simply dettach and re-attach. But must this be done before or after restoring the old master if i can do that ?



Thanx

Restoring From 2000 Backup To 2005 Instance

Nov 13, 2006

I did a backup of a SQL2000 database (named Winstis) using the 2005 management studio. I then created a blank database on my 2005 instance (named Winstis). I then tried to do a database restore to the new 2005 database. I got an error:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'Winstis' database. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

I even tried the option to Overwrite Existing database and I got a different error:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData est.ldf'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

Also the 2005 instance database is on C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataWinstis_Data.mdf

and the 2000 instance is on
D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataWinstis_Data.mdf

How can I accomplish getting the database from 2000 to 2005 with all tables, store procedures, and functions?

As a normal user, attempting to create a connection gives the message "sqlservr.exe has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

I have tried this with UAC turned on and turned off. The result is the same. In Services I can see that SQLEXPRESS is running, but each time I try to connect, I get the "stopped working" message.

For existing database programs that have the .mdf file stored in the project folder, I can run the program in the VS IDE on my XP machine and on my Vista machine as administrator, but not as a normal user.

I'm not looking for a workaround to make this work once, but the cause and solution to the problem. This is for an introductory VB textbook and we must be able to move a database program from one machine to another and make it work. Everything I have read says that SQLExpress should be able to do that.

Can anyone help me with this?

Restoring Database Leaves Me With (Restoring...) Message

Jan 9, 2007

I did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)

Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.

Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.



Any advice on how to get this thing finished out?

Hi all hope some one can help - please bear with me new to this
Basically I have had to change pc's so I copied and pasted my ASPNET.MDF and LDF from my old pc to new PC including webpages/apps etc.. created.

Failed To Generate A User Instance Of SQL Server Due To Failure In Retrieving The User's Local Application Data Path

Jun 21, 2005

I installed my asp.net 2.0 web application  and sql express june editon on my windows 2003 server.When the application tries to reach the database i am getting the following error"Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed."I can understand that it has something to do with user right but more than that I am pretty lost. Can anyone translate this error for me and give me some tips on what do to.I checked first the user running the sql express service and saw it was the NETWORK SERVICE user. I changed it to be the local system account but that did not make any difference. The application is running just fine on my local computer(Win XP sp2). This one has SQL express April edition though.

How To Use Xcopy && User Instance To Copy 3 Dbo Tables From The Database Of SQL Server Management Studio Express To The App_Data Folder Of Website Of VWD Express Project?

Jan 6, 2007

Hi all,
I have read/studied (i) Working with Databases in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express in http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/data/vwd.aspx, (ii) Xcopy Deployment (SQL Server Express) in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165716.aspx, (iii) User Instances for Non-Administrators in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143684.aspx, and (iv) Embedding SQL Server Server Express in Applications in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165660.aspx.  I do not understand the concepts and procedures to do Xcopy and User Instances for non-administrators completely-I do not know how to connect to databases and create database diagrams or schemas using the Database Explorer.  I have a stand-alone Windows XP Pro PC. I have created a ChemDatabase with 3 dbo tables in the SQL Server Management Studio of my SQL Server Express and a website of my VWD Express application with an App_Data folder.  I am not able to proceed to use Xcopy and user instance to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase to my App_Data folder. Please help and give me some detailed procedures/instructions to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase (or ChemDatabase itself) from the SQL Server Management Studio Express to the App_Data folder of the website of my VWD Express project? 
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Restoring User Permission

Sep 10, 2000

I have a nightly job that restores a production database to a reporting server. I have some report- related stored procedures
that need to run on the reporting server once the database is restored. However, during the restore, the permissions for the
reporting stored procs get deleted and replaced with the production permissions, which are useless in this case.

Is there a script or system stored procedure I can schedule to run after the nightly restore that will also restore user
permissions? Thanks, Frank.

How To Move A Single Database From SQL Server Instance To New SQL Instance

Jan 13, 2007

Hi,

I want to move one database from the source SQL Server 2000 instance to a new SQL 2000 instance in another machine. I have five user databases in this source SQL instance. How should be my approach to move this single database out of this ? My understanding is restoring this database in the new instance, copying all logins to the new instance and then copying the jobs, DTS packages, alerts, operators only specific to this database will do it. Please let me know if this is exactly what I should do ..

Thanks in advance..

Regards,
Himansu
