Recover A Database From Another Hard Disk With A Corrupted Windows 2000 Installation.
Jul 23, 2005
Hello,
I am trying to recover a SQL Server 7 database from another hard disk
drive that has a corrupted Windows 2000 Advanced Server installation. I
am not able to repair the corrupted Windows 2000 Advanced Server
installation but the file system is intact. I have installed a new copy
of SQL Server 7 onto a new hard disk and have used the sp_attach_db
system stored procedure to attach the database from the old hard drive
into the new installation of SQL Server 7 on the new hard drive. The
database shows up in the Enterprise Manager View and all the data and
structure are there, but when I try to run a Web site that uses ODBC
connections to the database I get the following error:
ODBC Error Code = 08001 (Unable to connect to data source)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]Specified SQL server
not found.
I have double-checked that all the NTFS permissions, ODBC DSNs, and Web
Server settings are correct and when I run the SQL Server ODBC driver
test at the completion of each ODBC DSN setup, it is successfull.
1) Why am I getting this ODBC error?
2) What steps have I missed in the recovery process?
3) If I have done something wrong recovering my database, can I still
recover it since I still have: a) The old master database file and log
file; b) The old database (non-master) file and log file; c)A backed-up
(Enterprise Manager -> Right Click A Database -> All Tasks -> Backup
Database) copy of the old database (non-master) file; ?
My System Specifications:
-Windows 2000 Advanced Server
-SQL Server 7
-IIS 5.0
-Cold Fusion Server 4.5 Professional Full Edition
Thanks For Your Time,
Nathan

Our MSSQL 2000 server crashed yesterday and one database cannot be restored. the latest backup we have is june. We can only recover the MDF file from the harddisk and according to our admin, it cannot be restored anymore because no proper shutdown was made.
Will appreciate your help here."

I run MSDE on a Windows XP Server and my database was marked as "suspect" by Enterprise Manager and its icon become gray. I detach that database and try to re-attach it but there is an error as the following:
Error 3624:
Location : page.cpp:2801
Expression: rowLength >= offset + deleteLenght
SPID : 56
Precess ID:1612
After that, I uninstall the MSDE and re-install new MSDE SP4 and try to re-attach the database file again and there is still an error. Is there anyway i can recover the data from that database?

Dear group:I have removed my hard drive from my laptop (which is now toast) andhave managed to recover nearly all the data from it by installing thedrive into my desktop. I was hoping to reboot the dektop to see if Icould load the operating system on the laptop's hard drive so I coulddo a manual backup of the SQL database on it. This does not work.Does anyone know of a way to recover my SQL database and all its tablesgiven the circumstances above?TIAISZ

We have repartioned a server (create a larger C-drive/system partition). It's about Windows Server 2003. Before repartioning SP2 was not installed. After repartioning checkdisk started automatically (as normal after using a disk partitioning tool). Checkdisk did some interesting and bad things with my files: changing file permissions and make some files corrupt, how I don't know. Something to do with SP2 not installed and the NTFS filesystem. After this action I have a corrupted SQL database. Tried to repair with the DBCC CHECKDB repair commands, but fail. Error in event viewer:
Error: 823, Severity: 24, State: 2
I/O error (bad page ID) detected during read at offset 0x0000003bdc4000 in file 'D:program filesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData352.MDF'.
I also still have NTFS errors in my event viewer. What to do? How can I repair the database? Only running checkdisk again? (and will this work?) Than all file security will be reset to Administrators.
Other ways to rebuild my database? (tools???) Unfortunally there isn't a good backup available due to a lack of good configuration of the backup software.

Recently, one of our database's mdf and ldf was corrupted. We were able tobring back the database with the capability of importing and querying thedata. However, the data is not the full list. Some of the data are stillmissing because the tables we want still has sone 'chain mis linkage' errorwhen we did a DBCC checkdb/checktable. DBCC couldn't fix those errorseither. We're pretty sure that there are some data still burry under thecorruption. Then we thought of the life LDF file. This file should haverecorded every transaction up to the point of failure. So we trying torecover that file, but there are 2 problems. First is we don't have back upof that file and 2nd, that file is also corrupted. I couldn't backup thecorrupted ldf file at its current state. It's giving me some unrelated errormessage like disk space is out. All I know now is the only hope to recoverthose missing data are in this LDF file. We tried to use this software fromLimingent Log Explorer to recover it. So far no such luck with that. SoI'm asking anyone who has similar experience or problem. Please let me know.I need to know anyway to recover this LDF file, either by using sql server'snative tools or 3rd party tools. Any input is helpfull. thanks in advance.Wei

Hello!
I have 2 harddisk in my computer and I have SQL 2005 Express on 1 of them (let's say C:), however, my C: is going to be full soon! Once it is full, is it possible to create a table on my other harddisk which the server can recognise?
Thanks!

Hello,
I monitor a few "perfmon" counters which includes under the "system" object, "bytes transmitted/sec" and "file read bytes/sec". Every once in awhile, these counters will skyrocket, which can also be verified by the hard drive lights flickering like mad.
The only software installed on the machine is SQL Server 2K.
I was wondering if anyone knew how I could monitor within SQL 2K what process or user is using all of these cycles. If anyone could shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated. Specifically, I would like to find out which database/query is doing this to minimize in the future as this affects all of the other connections.
Thanks in advance,
Brent.

Hello People,
I have began to store binary data in my database, for example word documents, PDF's....etc.
But now my database file is growing beyond what I want, and I need to move all of the files out of the DB onto normal hard disk space.
Is there anyway, say by using a bulk copy command, that I can write all the contents of the table into a folder on my hard disk...???
My database table consists of ID(int), Filename(varchar), Filetype(varchar), Filesize(varchar), Filebody(image)
Any help would be extremely appreciated.....
Many Thanks,
Alan...

Hi All,
We have here a WinForms Application on laptops that uses SQL Express as its database. Initially all was going well, then it was decided that the laptop Hard Drive should be encrypted. Thats when the fun started.
It is now very hit and miss as to whether we can connect to SQL and service pack 2 will not install.
So now to the question :-
Does anyone know if there are any compatablity issues with SQL 2005 Express and hard disk encryption (particularly BeCrypt).
Thanks
Steve

I have a situation where I would like to set up one DB server instance for US and anther one for AUStralia. The Instance should share the same data base/hardsisk. One of the instances will be running in using US time zone and anothe one in Australia time zone.
There will be 2 Application instaces one poinint to each SQL Server instance. This applications does write into the database
So the underlying requirment is to have 2 database server running in differnet time zones but accessing the same disk/set of data
What is the best way to do this? Is it linked servers?Girish

then it takes some time and the failure appears, saying:
"the setup programm could not configure the server. you can find more
information in the server-failure-log files and in
"C:windowssqlstp.log."
sqlstp.log last couple of lines:

I have a Windows 2003 Enterprise x64 edition cluster setup and functioning normally. Now, I am trying to get SQL Server 2000 installed as a failover cluster but am having some difficulty. When installing, I get the message '[sqsrvres] ODBC sqldriverconnect failed' in the event log. The message happens when the installer is trying to bring the SQL Server Service resource online.
I am able to ping the name of the instance successfully. I am able to manually start the 'MSSQL$InstanceName' service. I have turned off the firewall on both machines, but this did not help. I have the DTC Service setup as a resource in the same cluster group.
I also read http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;815431 which seemed promising, but did not reolve the problem.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
I've my database, testdb, ended up in Suspect state. The SQL log shows " I/O error 38(Reached the end of the file.) detected during read at offset xxxxxxxxxx in file '<path> estdb_Data.MDF'" during recovery. I do not have backup to restore the database from. So to run DBCC CHECKDB, I tried to put the database in emergency(bypass recovery) mode using
update sysdatabases set status = 32768 where name = 'testdb'
DBCC CHECKDB showed some allocation and consistency errors and suggested "repair_allow_data_loss" as minimum repair level.
Now to run
DBCC CHECKDB('testdb', repair_allow_data_loss)
I've to put database in SINGLE USER mode. For that I started SQL server by command
sqlservr.exe -c -m
Now when I try to run DBCC CHECKDB with repair option it says "Attempt to BEGIN TRANSACTION in database 'testdb' failed because database is in BYPASS RECOVERY mode."
So it seems I need to change the status of database such that it will allow me to repair it. If I try to reset the status, the database again goes in Suspect state and it seems DBCC commands don't run on database in Suspect state. Does anybody know how to recover the database in this state? Is there any other way to repair it?
Thanks in advance,
Yojana

A customer of mine has had a disk "crash" few days ago.
I wrote for him a dwh application and
of course the backup was not working...
now some "hardware guys" said that it is possible to recover most of
the files.
what I need to restore would be:
1- the sql server db
2- the sql server dts and jobs
3- the analysis service cube and dimensions
to do so is it enough for me to have:
1- the .mdf and .ldf files
2- the master.mdl /.ldf file
3- the .odb file and .dim* and .role .map ... files
right?
is it enough to recover everything?
if it is so, what would be the right processes to recover everything? "

I have tried this many times....cleaned all previous MS SQL installations...rebooted....all with the same result below.
I insert Disc 1 of the Developer edition and all is find until it gets to the main installation...then OWC fails ("Setup cannot find the files specified") although I have an open Internet connection from where it can be downloaded.
Then the main Database server and Integration services installation fails, and other components succeed. When I click the error message it says "Please insert Disc 2" - although the main installation never prompts for Disc 2 (which are the Tools I believe).
Even if I install Disc 2, the installation never succeeds - and the main componets I am interested in - Database server and Integration services - always fails.

Hi All,
I have just one corrupted record on a table: I copied everything else to another table but I can't delete or rename the old one!
Is restoring the whole DB my only way out there?

I have a windows 2012 cluster environment that consists of two SQL servers nodes with Quorum disk configured as witness.
Manual failover between nodes is working fine, however the sql instance virtual is not seeing the Quorum disk.
Moreover the Quorum disk has the same number as another cluster storage disk, is that considered a problem?
When I move the SQL instance from a node to anohter, should the Quorum Disk change ownership as well to that destination node ? if it is not changing ownership what would be the problem??

Hi,
I have many sql 2000 DTS packages that I support from my development workstation running v2000 sp4. Packages are altered on the development machine and then go through a normal release mechanisms to production via testing servers etc.
I have recently installed the client tools for SQL Server 2005 on my desktop to evaluate the product. The 2005 DB instance is running on a seperate server.
So, I have dev edition of sql 2000 and 2005 client tools (including BI Dev studio etc) on my workstation.
I have recently had to make changes to a 2000 DTS package and used my 2000 enterprise manager to do so. No Problem- saved and tested fine on my workstation.
But when I try and release it to another server, or open the package using enterprise manager from another machine that does not have sql 2005 installed - I get an error message 'Unspecified error'. This I've seen before when trying to open packages created in v2000 , using v7 or where the service packs are different between machines.
Digging around my workstation and comparing some of the DLLs I know to be required to distribute DTS packages (from RDIST.txt) it seems that some of the SQL 2000 dll files have been updated by my 2005 installation.
E.g
DTSFFILE.DLL on my machine is 2000.85.1054.0 whilst on any 'clean' 2000 machine is at version v2000.80.760.0
Surely it cant be right that SQL 2005 has newer versions of components for SQL 2000 than is available with the latest SP for the actual product! Especially considering that the installation of 2005 does not even allow you to edit 2000 DTS packages through the management studio without a 'special' download' of the feature pack,(whihc by the way does not work very well either)
So am I to conclude that you can not run side by side installations of SQL 2000 and 2005 on a single machine and expect 2000 to run as it did previously

Hey everyone,First off, sorry if this has been asked and answered before--I've tried searching the forums but may have just not used the right criteria. Anyways, I'm new to .net and all that stuff, and I was wondering if there were any differences (code-wise) between developing on 2005 Express and running on SQL 2000. I know there would be variations in the connection string, but I wasn't sure about anything else--specifically if they both use the sql provider thingy (I forget the name of it, since I don't have my book in front of me). I don't expect there to be many differences, but I wanted to check before I got too deep into coding.Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I am facing an issue with a table in my database.
1) When I run a query Select * from MY_Table the query never completes. If I press cancel in Query Analyzer after 1 second or 2 minutes, it always shows the same 174 records. The total table size is 800 KB with 3148 rows .. according to TaskPad
2) No queries, even queries that would return only 1 record complete execution against that table
3) I am unable to rename the table, if I try to rename the table Enterprise Manager becomes unresponsive and has to be closed.
4) If I try to browse the rows through Enterprise manager by scrolling through the records, it allows me to go down through a number of rows and then Enterprise manager gives me a timeout expired error.
5) I ran a DBCC CheckDB command ran for 1 hr and 7 minutes. It says there are 0 allocation errors and 0 consistency errors in the database.
6) The other database tables seem to be OK and the Database is operational except for calls involving the 1 Table
7) I am unable to Drop the Table
8) DBCC CheckAlloc finds 0 allocation errors and 0 consistency errors.
9) DBCC CheckTable on MY_Table returns with: There are 3148 rows in 33 pages for object 'MY_Table' .. no errors are printed.
Can one of the SQL Gurus on this forum please recommend a course of action.
Thanks in advance.

I am wondering what would be the best disk/RAID setup for a Windows server 2008 R2 OS and SQL Server 2012 database that has heavy read/write. I have the following disks I can use:
4x 15k 146GB
2x 10k 600GB
According to the server build requirements for the application, I need 100GB for the OS and 290GB for the drive containing the SQL mdf there are no stated requirements for the ldf, but would like to know if it should be allocated elsewhere?I should do RAID 10 for the 15k drives for SQL and RAID 1 for the OS on the 10k.

Hi,
My database corrupted because when I was running an update query, there is a power failure. After the computer booted, I cannot open the database anymore, it just not responding. Then I stop the sql server service, and tried to rename the .mdf and .ldf. After that it worked normally, but I need the data from the corrupted mdf file, I tried to attach the database but it just hanged. I even tried to attach without the .ldf file but it didn't work either, so I concluded that the problem is with the mdf file.
Is there any way to recover my data ??
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Edwin

Hi all,
Had a disk problem here, and all apps connected to our database hung. Nothing was responding, rebooted, and mssqlserver hangs on startup.
If i move the mdf and ldf files of the database in question to another folder, mssqlserver starts up ok, with the db marked as suspect.
It would seem the the mdf and ldf are corrupted.
I am restoring a backup from yesterday, but this will take hours.
Any suggestions trying to recover it as it sits?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
