Problem With Recovering From Copy Database Failure
Oct 16, 2007
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

Hi I have a 64bit SP2 S2K5 SP2

Any 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.

I need to recover a database, but unfortunatelly i donīt 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 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.

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?

Hi,
I set up DB mirror between a primary (SQL1) and a mirror (SQL2); no witness. I have a problem when I issue command:
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
The error message is:
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy of the database log.
I have the steps below prior to the command. (Note that both servers' service accounts use the same domain account. The domain account I login to do db mirror setup is a member of the local admin group.)
1. backup database DBmirrorTest on SQL1
2. backup database log
3. copy db and log backup files to SQL2
4. restore db with norecovery
5. restore log with norecovery
6. create endpoints on both SQL1 and SQL2
CREATE ENDPOINT [Mirroring]
STATE=STARTED
AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT = 5022, LISTENER_IP = ALL)
FOR DATA_MIRRORING (ROLE = PARTNER)
7. enable mirror on mirror server SQL2
:connect SQL2
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL1.mycom.com:5022';
go
8. Enable mirror on primary server SQL1
:connect SQL1
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
This is where I got the error.
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy
Thanks for any help,
KT

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)"
The open procedure for service "MSSQLServer" in DLL "SQLCTR60.DLL" has taken longer than the established wait time to complete. The wait time in milliseconds is shown in the data.
DB-LIBRARY error - SQL Server connection timed out.
and in the errorlog present in MSSQLLOG directory

00/12/07 15:06:43.50 kernel initializing virtual device 2, D:MSSQLDATAAMLOG.DAT
The dbid is / was 6 for both the instances, the database which is having this dbid is database name "AM" and is having above 1300 tables (approx)
what could be the problem and solution for it?
kindly help me out of this situation.

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 guys,
I've been assigned the task of setting up access to our SQL Server 2005 box. A consultant developing for us has accessing to 2 databases and I've set this up fine. It appears however that one of these databases is re-copied over to the server every night to keep data reasonably current.
I'm not interesting in changing this method as I'm not the maintainer (as yet).
Basically I would like to know if I've setup access to this database (it works fine), when the database is updated (with an SSIS package) the account seems to get deleted. Do the original permissions from the source database overwrite those of its destination?
Cheers

I'm using SQL Server Management Studio Express and I'm trying to figure out how to copy a table(s) from my local database to my web hosting database. I know how to do it in 2000, but it's completely different now. Is this feature not allowed on SSMSE? If so, then how do I deploy database tables to a web host?Also, how do you add local database(s) to SSMSE? I tried to use 'attach database' in SSMSE and it wouldn't allow me to navigate to My Documents folder where the database resides. Thanks...

Can anyone give me assistance on trying to restore my master file. I purposely corrupted my dabase on my test box so that I could work on my recovery process. However, during one of the steps I used the:
restore database Master From
disk= 'c:mssql7ackupmaster.bak'
Command. However, I continue to recieve:
Server:Msg3201, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
'Cannont open backup device 'c:mssql7ackupmaster.bak. Device error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error log for more details.
Note I am in single user mode and I have not been able to find anything specific in the error log file.
Can some tell me what possible could be the problem. Thanks.

is it possible to recover an existing SQL server? Here is what happened. WNT server 4.0 was corrupted, had no backup, repair did not work. consequently, i had to reformat the C drive and do a clean install of the OS.
my SQL files and user databases were on other drives. can i do a install of SQL server and tell is were the SQL server files (ie., the MSSQLDatamaster.db) are and have it use those files? given that this problem occurred as i tried to backup my SQL server database.
hope you can help or my butt is burned!

We are having major hardware replaced on our W2000 Adv Server and we
need to be prepared to restore the entire system.
If the hardware fix goes badly, worst case, the plan is to
rebuild the server and then REINSTALL SS7 and
then restore all the databases from tape backups.
My question is, which database(s) should we restore first?
Should we restore master and then proceed to restore the user
databases or restore the user databases first and restore master last?
Thank you in advance.

Help !!!!
How would you fix these two problems.
1. On the window of Enterprise Manger and under the databases, the database shows one of the databases like this manag_dat(recovering)rather than manag_dat. (manag_dat is the name of the database). What could cause the probem and how to fix it?
2. Same position as above, but instead it shows manag_dat (loading). I tried to delete its device and the database. it hang. How would it happen and how to fix it?
Thank you ahead of time

Any ideas how I can recover a job that has been deleted (?) from SQL7.0 ? We had one which was used on a regular basis which has nowceased to exists. I've spoken to the people responsible for the serverand was met by blank faces (as usual). They have no idea when it wasdeleted, by whom or when. To make matters worse, they don't think theycan get it off the backup set without a major bit of work to theserver. Suprisingly, none of the users noticed that things had stoppedworking.Unfortunately, I needed to do some work on this in preparation for mymonthly meeting with my boss on Monday. Whilst I'm not to blame, I'dlike to understand a little more about any options available to us forrecovery as he will undoubtedly ask when he finds out.I have an old back up on another server, so it's not the end of theworld re-creating it, but I was under the impression it was backed upproperly. Is this normal or have they missed something ?Are there any ways I can recover this ? What can I get done to thebackup to make sure this is backed up properly ?Thanks in advance.Ryan

I saw the other thread that is related, but let me give you our circumstances. A drive failed and that drive had the SQL installation and the *.ldf files on it. The MDF files were unscathed.
The drive has been rebuilt and I have reinstalled SQL 2000 SP3A on there (that is what was there before). I have tried attaching the MDF through the GUI and letting it create the log for me. This failed.
I tried sp_attach_single_file_db, but this failed since the db was never dettached.
I tried creating the db again, dettaching it, copying the old (good) MDF file over the newly created one and then attaching (using multiple attach approaches). It knows that the log file and mdf are not matched and won't let me do the attach.
I also found DBCC REBUILD_LOG, but the article in SQL Mag supposes that your instance is still in working order and that there is an entry for the db in sysdatabases. Such is not true in my case.
Can you help? We are trying to get old backup tapes shipped to the site, looking up our Gold Partner contact info, etc., but in the meantime, I am trying to get the data restored even if we lose some transactions.
Thanks for any help!
