DB Engine :: Extension FILE Among Backup File
May 8, 2015I checked quickly one network  and I ran into the folders; I found out the folder MSSQL backup, nothing strange so far. Within that folder, anyway, I found out several backup and one very huge file (datawarehouse) with extension FILE. I am wondering what can be? I got datawarehouse mdf of course and datawarehouse log but what is that huge file (1 TB)?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAlter Database File Extension
May 14, 2008
Hi,
I'm trying to change the file extension of one of the database files of a big database that contains 10 years of EPOS data.
When this file was created, at the beginning of 2008, with the following script:
USE [Live]
ALTER DATABASE [Live] ADD FILE (NAME = 'Live_2008',
FILENAME = €˜E:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataLive_2008') TO FILEGROUP [2008]
the .ndf file extension was not added to the filename. So the file now has a file type of "File", instead of "SQL Server Secondary Data File"
I tried, in a test environment, to bring the database offline, change the filename to "Live_2008.ndf" and bring the database back online, but it gives me an error message saying that "cannot open the Live_2008 file", i'm guessing because it's looking for "Live_2008" and it finds "Live_2008.ndf" instead.
This file is quite big (5Gb) and I cannot afford to risk to lose any data.
The situation is complicated even further by the fact that it seems that a partition for 2008 does not exist.
How can I find out what data this file contains?
Is it going to be an issue if I leave the file like that?
Thanks
ForEach File Enumerator Extension Bug?
Jul 5, 2006I set up a basic ForEach enumerator loop and specified files of type *.sql.
In the directory, I had some files I needed to keep but didn't want the package to touch, so I changed the extension to *.sqlo. Much to my dismay, the ForEach loop picked up those files. (Though it did skip the *.xml and *.bat and a few other types...)
Sounds like a bug to me.
Custom Source Extension && File Permissions
Sep 26, 2007I programmed a Source extension, that accesss a text file. In my code I have the following code to open a file:

The komponnet works well. How do I grant permissions to access this text file? Because I got problems when I try to run my package using a task created in the SQL Server Agent.
Secondary Data File Extension Changes To Mdf After Restore
Apr 18, 2007i have sql server 2000 db with two data file... primary data file has extension mdf and secondary file has extension ndf (as per microsoft recommendation)..
when i try to backup the db and restore thru the enterprise manager .. in the restore -> options window ... i see both the files has the same extension mdf.. and when the restore completed, the new database still has extension mdf for both the file..
why this behaviour?
* i even try to create a new test db with two files, still its the same behaviour.
SQL Tools :: Differential Backup File Extension
Dec 8, 2008I have just begun to try out differential backups. Almost every reference I found on the internet said to use a .dif file extension. Books Online "Back Up Database Task (Maintenance Plan) MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/uirfsql9/html/ed1ef012-fa14-4ba5-bafe-d1527ba065b3.htm only says :
Backup file extension Specify the extension to use for the backup files. The default is .bak.
                                                                                                                                  Â
Using .dif for the differential shows "Microsoft Office Excel Data Interchange Format" as the type when looking at the backup folder. URL... indicates that .dif has 11 different uses, including "Difference data file." In a couple of posts in this forum in April and May of this year David Dye said that the file extension for differential backups is .bak, the same as for the full backup.
Â
If this is the case, this would cause a problem with our maintenance plan policy which is to retain the two most recent backup files on the server. If we do a full backup for the base on the weekend and differential backups the rest of the week, our full backup would have to be restored from out tape system before we could do a restore. Recoveries are pretty rare, but when we get that panicked phone call that someone accidently deleted all the records of a major client, time is of the essence in getting that point in time restore done.

Integration Services :: How To Change Dataflow Source Connection Based On File Extension
May 6, 2015I have implemented a package to load multiple files to a destination. Since the source was a txt file, i have created as flat file source. However now we are getting files in excel format as well.

Read Text File From Flat File Connection Manager SSIS
May 13, 2008Hello Experts,
I am createing one task (user control) in SSIS. I have property grid in my GUI and 2 buttons (OK & Cancle).
PropertyGrid has Properties like SourceConnection, OutputConnection etc....right now I am able to populate Connections in list box next to Source and Output Property.
Now my question to you guys is depending on Source Connection it should read that text file associated with connection manager. After validation it should pick header (first line of text file bases on record type) and write it into new file when task is executed. I have following code for your reference. Please let me know I am going in right direction or not..
What should go here ?
->Under Class A
public override DTSExecResult Execute(Connections connections, VariableDispenser variableDispenser, IDTSComponentEvents componentEvents, IDTSLogging log, object transaction)
{
//Some code to read file and write it into new file
return DTSExecResult.Success;
}
public const string Property_Task = "CustomErrorControl";
public const string Property_SourceConnection = "SourceConnection";
public void LoadFromXML(XmlElement node, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)
{
if (node.Name != Property_Task)
{
throw new Exception(String.Format("Invalid task element '{0}' in LoadFromXML.", node.Name));
}
else
{
try
{
_sourceConnectionId = node.Attributes.GetNamedItem(Property_SourceConnection).Value;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
infoEvents.FireError(0, "LoadFromXML", ex.Message, "", 0);
}
}
}
public void SaveToXML(XmlDocument doc, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)
{
try
{
// // Create Task Element
XmlElement taskElement = doc.CreateElement("", Property_Task, "");
doc.AppendChild(taskElement);
// // Save source FileConnection
XmlAttribute sourcefileAttribute = doc.CreateAttribute(Property_SourceConnection);
sourcefileAttribute.Value = _sourceConnectionId;
taskElement.Attributes.Append(sourcefileAttribute);
}

SQL 2012 :: How To Do Selective Read Of File Stored In File Table
Jul 2, 2015I have a filetable that contains a binary file. I need to do a selective read of the file stored in the file table. I can write a C# CLR function that will open the file, read n bytes the from a starting byte. Or I can write a SQL statement that reads the stream in the filetable into a VARBINARY variable using SUBSTRING beginning at the starting byte (offset from 1) for the same n bytes.
Both give me the same result. However, the SQL statement takes considerably longer to read. I know there is overhead in reading through SQL (interpreted language), but the difference in performance is substantial, and I can only attribute this performance degradation if SQL first tries to "load" the entire stream before it identifies the portion of the stream that it needs to read beginning at the starting byte offset.
I wonder if this is the case or if there is another option to read a stream from a filetable directly through SQL queries that is more efficient.

Read XML File From File System?
Jan 8, 2002Anyone reading XML disk-files into SQL Server?
I have a process that I may want to do this with.
It would be a stored procedure that would read the XML attributes into 2 tables, the number of attributes could be 1-N, so I thought XML would be a good choice. Also, one of the attributes could be up to 4000 characters. I think this may limit our options, can 100-150 4000 character strings be passed in a standard call to a query/proc in SQL?
Currently the client application makes round-trip network calls to save upwards of 100 pairs of data. 1 header row, and many detail rows. All within a transaction.
I think If we move an XML file to the SQL box, then do all the import/save work on the "Server" side it would be much better. Cutting the transaction time down a lot by not doing so many round-trips at network speed...
Thoughts?

Cannot Read Some DBF File
Jun 6, 2007Hi All
I am trying to load DBF files into SQL server within CLR (actually if just running the select statement outside, say within the SQLQuery window, i got the same result), but with the following error:
Msg 7314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "VFPOLEDB" for linked server "MYDBF" does not contain the table "T8866064". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table.
I created the linked server in this way
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'MYDBF',
@provider = 'VFPOLEDB',
@srvproduct = 'My Data',
@datasrc = 'c:data'
i did not create the login since my SQL instance is running under a superaccount with all privilege.
What frustrates me is that i can read most of the dbf files, but just a few of them is not readable.
Can anyone give me some hints on it?
by the way, i am using vfp9.0
thanks
