Red-Gate SQL Log Explorer
Jul 14, 2006Does anyone happen to know if the folks at Red-Gate used a public SDKto create the log explorer, or did they fork over money to microsoft toget a ISV licensed SDK?I'm looking into making a similar product that would be open source,and I'm trying to figure out what they used to translate entries in thelog to something that is readable by the human eye.Thanks.....

Red Gate - Thoughts, Experiences...
May 2, 2008
Currently evaluating Red Gate SQL tools targetting SQL Server 2005 Express.
Specifically
- SQL Compare
- SQL Packager
- Dependency Tracker
This is the first tool of this kind that I've evaluated and must say I'm impressed. It looks like it will save me hours of writing scripts.
Any of you guys have any thoughts, recommendations, etc to share? Alternate tools?
Most appreciated in advance, thanks.

SQL Litespeed
Apr 5, 2004Hi,
Is anyone using SQL lite speed here?
If so what are your opinions on it? is it worth it?
Cheers
Litespeed
Sep 20, 2007Does anyone use Litespeed with a 64 bit environment (64 bit Windows 2003 server, 64 bit SQL Server)? Is it compatible, or do you have to by a 64 bit version of Litespeed? Also, any good links on this stuff would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Has Anybody Used SQL Litespeed
Jan 21, 2008Has anyone used SQL Litespeed .We have 1 TB database and moving to different location so we want it to be done fast. How is compression ratio of backup files and how does it work with SQL server 2005? Is it easy to install in Production environment. How much does it cost?
Please experts, Throw some light.
Quest For Advanced Queries
Sep 7, 2006
I am pretty good at T-SQL as a .NET Application Developer, but now I need to take my skills of writing queries to the next level: the level required for Database Developers. I am sick and tired of writing simple inner join's with a couple of where's.
I have a few books ("SQL Server 2000 Bible" and "The Guru's Guide to Transact-SQL"), and Books Online are always available, so I have no problems with finding the answers.
The problem is not with looking for answers, but with finding questions...
Could someone please recommend me some source of good SQL-related questions, which would require writing complex queries (not just a few inner joins)?
A book (perhaps, some university's textbook with lots of advanced exercises for DB developers) would be the best option.
I am looking for some source of mind-breaking questions for database developers. I am really not sure I can solve them right away, but that's the goal. :-)
Thanks a lot.
A Tool Similar To SQL Impact From Quest?
Oct 4, 2006Hi,
I am looking for a tool that is similar to SQL Impact (Quest). Quest has discontinued the tool.
This tool should be able to detect all database object dependencies for SQL Server, Sybase and Oracle. The objects should include tables, views, stored procedures, indexes and other objects. This should also detect DB object dependencies in front end applications as well.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated...
Thanks!
Spotlight From Quest - Unbiased Feedback Anyone?
Apr 2, 2008I've been having Spotlight from Quest Software in the back of my mind for quite some time now, and now I just started in a new job where something like this could prove to be really handy. And from the looks of it it seems to be quite impressive but have any of you guys used it? What do you think?

BACKUP LOG Cannot Be Performed Because There Is No Current Database Backup. BACKUP LOG Is Terminating Abnormally.
Jan 31, 2008
Hi there
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
Thanks
Jane
SQL 2012 :: Error (backup Failed To Complete The Command BACKUP LOG) In Event Viewer
Aug 23, 2013On the SQL Server the Event Viewer shows the same messages and errors every evening between 22:05:00 and 22:08:00. The following information messages are shown for every database:
"I/O is frozen on database <database name>. No user action is required. However, if I/O is not resumed promptly, you could cancel the backup."
"I/O was resumed on database <database name>. No user action is required."
"Database backed up. Database: <database name>, creation date(time): 2003/04/08(09:13:36), pages dumped: 306, first LSN: 44:148:37, last LSN: 44:165:1, number of dump devices: 1, device information: (FILE=1, TYPE=VIRTUAL_DEVICE: {'{A79410F7-4AC5-47CE-9E9B-F91660F1072B}4'}). This is an informational message only. No user action is required."
After the 3 messages the following error message is shown for every database:
"BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP LOG <database name>. Check the backup application log for detailed messages."
I have added a Maintenance Plan but these jobs run after 02:00:00 at night.
Where can I find the command or setup which will backup all databases and log files at 22:00:00 in the evening?
SQL Server 2008 :: Backup Running Long And Backup Threads Show Suspended
Feb 18, 2015SQL Server 2008 r2 - 6 GB memory...I attempted a backup on a 500GB database but it was taking way too long. I checked the resources on the box and saw the CPU at 100%. I checked the SQL Server activity log and saw a hung query (user was not even logged on) that had multiple threads so I killed it and now the CPU utilization is back to normal.
Trouble is, now all of the threads in the activity monitor for the backup show 'suspended' and the backup appears to be not doing anything.
Backup Failed (Error 3041) While Try To Issue A BACKUP Statement In Local
Feb 9, 2004Hi,
I use the Transact-SQL BACKUP statement in Visual Basic to backup my local MSSQL Database. It give me this error
Error 3041
BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE [BCFPC] to BCFPCBKP
I already created a backup device called BCFPCBKP and it is backup to the disk.
I tried to run the same BACKUP statement in SQL Query Analyzer and it worked fine. I tried to run my VB application in another PC. It worked fine when i use this command remotely. Can anyone tell me what's the problem?
Thanks in advance

SQL 2012 :: Backup Cleanup Of Differential And Log Backups Based On Full Backup?

I would like to keep a full week of backups based off the full backup done on Sunday. Is there a way for me to clear out the diff and log folders after the successful full backup on Sunday nights?

Can Windows 2003 Server Backup Utility Be Used To Backup A SQL 2000 Dbase
Dec 28, 2007Windows 2003 backup utility uses the shadow copy option that allows it to copy open files.
Therefore, can I use this utility to backup the .mdf and .ldf files for my SQL 2000 database?
I can then attach the .mdf files if I need to restore the database to another server.
Can anyone tell me if this is safe? I've tried it and it worked but I'm worried there maybe some lurking danger in using this approach.
SQL Security :: Full Backup Needed After Restoration Of Database Before Transaction Log Backup
Jul 15, 2015We take a full backup in the early morning and hourly transaction log back during the working hours for one database in the production server. The application team made certain changes to the design of the said database in their development server. The backup from the development server was restored to the production server during working hours. After the restoration should we take a full backup before next transactional logbackup? Would the transactional log backup with out a full backup after the restoration of a database be valid?

Recovery :: Differential Backup Much Larger Than Database / Full Backup
Nov 16, 2015I have a database that is just over 1.5GB and the Full backup that is 13GB not sure how this is since we have compression on for full backups and my other full backups are much smaller than there respective databases...Now my full backup is taken every Sunday night and the differentials are taken every 6 hours after the full backup. Now I have been thrown into this DBA role with little to no experience just what I have picked up and read. So my understanding of backups are limited but what I think I understand is that we take a full backup and the differential only captures what changes in the database so my question is why is my database 1.5GB but my differential is 15.4GB? I have others database that are on the same instance and don't seem to have this problem. I also just noticed that we do not rebuild the index before a full backup like we do on other instances...

May 10, 2001This is probably a simple question but I have to ask it anyway. When backing up I can backup to a file on my local drive but I also can create a device to the same location on my local drive. Is this doing the same thing. If I so desire to backup to the local drive(bear with me) what is the difference between creating a device and a file called mybackup or just choosing to backup to a file called mybackup? Should I always create a device? I know these are dumb question but....

How To Get The Backup History Details From A Backup Device?URGENT!!
Dec 7, 2001How do we know the list of all the backups that are present in a particualr backup device like file# and time of backup taken etc for the purose of restore?
When I run :

it doesn't give that info. Can anyone tell me the exact command to list all the files of a backup device so that I can restore the right one??
Thanks.

Does A Full Backup Include Data Changes Made During The Backup?
Nov 29, 2007If my backup starts at 8PM and take 1 hour to complete, will the changes made to the database during that hour be captured in the full backup?
Stated another way, will my backup be a snapshot of:
a) 8PM when the backup started
b) 8PM with some of the changes made between the hour
c) 9PM when the backup finished?
Anybody know the exact way SQL Server handles that logic?
Thanks,
Marc
Differential Backup Fails Because Of Erroneous Full Backup
Jul 19, 2007Hi
I am using the Simple recovery model and I'm taking a weekly full backup each Monday morning with differentials taken every 4 hours during the day.
On Wednesday afternoon, a programmer ran a process that corrupted the db and I had to restore to the most recent differential. It was 5pm in the afternoon and a differential backup had just occured at 4pm. No problem, I figured.
I restored the full backup from Monday morning and tried to restore the most recent differential backup. The differential restore failed. Since I had used T-SQL for the initial attempt, I tried using Enterprise Manager to try again.
When viewing the backup history, I see my initial full backup taken on Monday plus all the differentials. BUT, on closer inspection, I noticed another full backup in the backup history that was taken early Tuesday morning. I can't figure out where this Tuesday morning full backup came from. It wasn't taken by me (or scheduled by me) and I'm the only one with access to the server. My full backups are usually named something like HCMPRP_20070718_FULL.bak. This erroneous full backup was named something like HCMPRP_03a_361adk2k_dd53.bak. It seemed like it was a system generated name. Not something I would choose. To top it off, I could not find this backup file anywhere on the server and when I tried to restore using this full backup, it failed.
Does anyone have any clues as to where this full backup might come from? Does SQL Server trigger a full backup on its own if some threshold is reached?
I ended up having to restore using the differential taken just before this erroneous full backup and lost a day of transactions.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
