I currently have a test sql server database and I am trying to refresh it with the production sql server data - to get the production current data.
If I copy the production database.mdf file and the database.ldf file from the from the production server and replace it with the test database database.mdf file and database.ldf files and then restart the database, would this give me the production current data, please advise. - If not could you please advise on how I could get the productions current database.
We are setting up a test lab environment with 100 machines. Â We want one master testing db that gets replicated to each to run scripted application tests nightly. Â
My goal is to minimize the amount of work to move this thing to each of the 100 test machines. Â I am wondering if we need to even have the sql local and invest in a monster db server with 100 copies of the db we restore and each test machine point to their own db on that server, or if I should use db mirroring or something to get the master test db to each of those machines instead.
Is there any tool available to migrate the data from the SQL Server test database to SQL Server production database. Data Migration should be based on a condition which can be given as an input for a table by the user. The dependant tables also should be migrated based on the given condition. i.e data subsetting based on the matching conditions.
Ex : Salary > 2000
The rows of the table which matches the condition alone need to be migrated for the corresponding table. Also its dependant table's rows should be migrated based on the given condition. Please help me with a tool which can automate this.
I am currently refreshing the Reporting Server Database from Production database(size 200mb) every night by using backup and restore as follows:
Restore Database ProjectDB from disk = 'D:MSSQLBACKUPRptBakProjectDB.bak' with move 'ProjectDB_log' to 'd:MssqlDataProjectDB.ldf', move 'ProjectDB_data' to 'd:MssqlDataProjectDB.mdf'
I usually take Transaction Log Backup from Production every hour everyday.
I am planning to apply the transaction log every hour on Distination Server Database (7am to 9pm). Is it right way of doing it?
I am confused whether to use WITH RECOVERY OR WITH NORECOVER while restoring a database.
I am getting errors(Msg 4306) when applying the log.
Can anyone help me how to apply incremental transaction log to the restored database(step by step)?

I am a SQL lightweight and I tried to update the data on the test SQL server with the data on the production server and now the test SQL server won't start.
I was trying to move a sql database from our production server to our test server and things got mucked up. I think where I went wrong is that I tried to backup the database on the Production server and then restore it to the test server. I think I should have backup the production server and then detached the databases from the test server and then attached the backups. I got in a hurry and had an attitude that SQL is so good that if I mess up, I can recover.
These are the databases I recovered to test server:
Builder CSales CIB Master Model MSDBdata
Now SQL server won€™t start and I get the error message that the database Model is in the middle of being restored. We are on SQL 2000. I tried to start from a command line with the €“f switch and it still can€™t come up.
Should I reinstall SQL and then attach the databases?
Do I need to bring over the Master, Model and MSDBdata data bases from the production servers.
I've built my SQL Server Express database with SQL Serevr Management Studio Express, and now I want to enter some seed data to assist in building tha app around it. I cannot find an option to manage the data in SQL SMSX, like I used to with Enterprise Manager. I don't want to have to write an app just to get test data in. Seems like this should be a common need. Am I missing something obvious here? Can't find any reference to this in a search of the forums. Please help.
There's a sql server 2000 database that was created as a copy of another db, let's say db1 and copy_of_db1. db1 has been updated (structure and data) since copy_of_db1 was created, while copy_of_db1 has remained static. I now need to update copy_of_db1 to be in sync with db1 and use copy_of_db1 so I can drop db1. What would be the fastest and most efficient way to update copy_of_db1 to mirror the current db1?
I have been tasked with designing an automated process to restore production data to our testing environments on an as needed basis. The schedule would revolve around our software testing and deployment schedules. I'm looking for suggestions on best practices for this task in the form of advise / links to references / etc.. Instead of presenting all of my requirements here, I'll spare you that information :). Since part of it also needs to encompass data stored in Oracle (10g). I've done a several Google searches but would like to validate / invalidate my research against the advise of the experts here.
I have restored a database on our development system to shrink down the file size being used. Originally, the database parameters show "Size=43000 MB" and Space Available = "31000 MB".
All of the files, including the LDF file, now take up a total of 8 GB of disk space, but when I look at the database properties it still shows "43000 MB" and "31000 MB".
Is there a way I can refresh this to show the actual size?
I have a need to refresh a report after applying a filter on the data that is displayed, without accessing the database.
The following example is a simplified version of the functionality I'm trying to accomplish. The first report displays Sales & Projection data for all products. On clicking a particular product in the header, the second report displays just that product and the total metrics. I have created an rdl file for both the reports and based on the parameters passed, it displays one or several products. My concern is that the report is having to access the AS cube every time a product is clicked. In the real report, it's taking minutes to get the data. Is there way I can get the report to refresh to apply the filter without accessing the database again? Thanks in advance...
I am able to run the package successfuly in test database. but not in production database. It throughs up error saying

Now that we have a good programming model in SSIS - the question is whether to write automated unit tests for your packages, and would it generally be a good idea for packages?
Also - if yes to write tests - then where to find more informations regarding How to accomplish that?
hi every one, i need to test SSIS pacakge which will import data from different database where record count is around 5 millions. iam planning to test it through c# code as well as manually also. SSIS source : consist of 7 tables SSIS destination :consist of 7 tables Using c# code iam trying to run ssis package through batch file. i am putting expected rowcount, column count in an excel file and comparing same with destination tables by writing query implementing ADO.Net concept. am i going right way ,can any one suggest best and productive way to test the ssis package . what are the other things i need to test it. do any one can add test cases to it.
S.No
Test Case
1
Verify all the tables have been imported.
2
Verify all the rows in each table have been imported.
3
Verify all the columns specified in source query for each table have been imported
4
Verify all the data has been received without any truncation for each column.
5
Verify the schema at source and destination
6
Verify the time taken /speed for data transfer
7
Fields truncated due to difference in length of the field at destination. Regards Arif shareef
Hello all-I need to check to see if the database is running before I begin all sorts of processing and figured I would do something like this. Any better ways to do this?

Hi everybody Have you ever noticed that you can create database with strange and unusual name with Enterprise manager but not with Query Analizer and through T-SQL code!!?
for example try to create database with name &%Test$ it will be created as i said earlier throgh Database Wizard in Enterprise manager but if you Execute :
Create Database &%Test$
you will receive the following error: Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '&'.

Hi, I'm not very asp.net savy and could not find any solid examples of what I need done. I have one text box on my page and one submit button. I would like the information entered from the text box to go into a SQL database when clicking on the submit button. I'm not sure what the exact coding should be in order to get this operating the way I want. I'm coding in VB, this is what I have so far:<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head runat="server"><title>Untitled Page</title> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> // <!CDATA[function Submit1_onclick() { } // ]]></script> </head> <body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <div> <input id="Text1" type="text" /><br /> <input id="Submit1" type="submit" value="submit" onclick="return Submit1_onclick()" /></div></form> </body> </html> Thanks, Derek
How can i insert test Data in to the Database,I want to insert one million records in to the table,This is to test Database Performance. Can anyone help me in this regard,Do we have any scripts for this purpose??? thanks Mar
I have a database on the server which is in production and I would like to create another copy and use it for testing purpose. so the application can point to the test database for testing purpose.
What is the best way to do? I guess I have to name the test one with different name right?
can I do it without detach the production one? or just copy the database - tables structures from the currnet one?
A test database that we used in one of our implementation pilots wasabandoned around 4 months back. The database when abandoned had a logfile size of less than 500MB. The log file has been steadily bloating(just came to my attention) and has reached 8.5GB. The database hasnot been used since abandoned 4 months back at 500MB. Considering thefact that our live DB has a combined (data + log) file size of lessthan 2GB I do not want to delete the database before exploring thecause.Any ideas??? Thanks and appreciate your helpSQL Server 2000
I have phrased this question here once before but no one could answer it, so please let me know if you think you know what the problem is.
I have a Test Environment on Server2 restored from the production environment on Server1. Production is publishing to a subscriber on Server3. The problem is that even though I have truncate on checkpoint = TRUE set for the Test environment, the log fills up (all the way, not even truncate transaction with no_log fixes it).
The log size is 750MB, with a data portion of about 3GB. Is this somehow related to the fact that SQL Server still thinks the tables in the test environment are marked for replication? I have noticed it believes this becuase I am not allowed to drop tables on Test, even though Test is not even set up as a publishing database.
Other information: 1) The recovery interval on Server2 is 3 minutes. 2) I am frustrated
We're using SQL Server 2000 as back end in our web project. The problem is we've 3 different copies of same database - one each for Development, Test and Production sitting in 2 different machines.
My question is - is there any tool for comparing the objects (tables, stored procedures, etc) ?

Hi I am looking for an interface connect to 'SQL Server 2000 enterprise' so that my TSQL can be executed. I am using 2003 Excel but there is a limitation of 65k records only can be loaded. Can I use 'SQL server express' 2000 or 2005, Acess? If I want to use client of 'SQL server 2000' do I need to buy it? Which interfact has the query analyzer ? Thanks in advanced Daniel
Hello, I have an asp.net application which connects to SQL Server 2005 database. One out of 15 times (approx) the applicaiton does not make connection to the database and an exception is thrown. I am not sure how to debug this. Should I write some code which can make connections in a loop to test how much stress the sever can handle? Kindly suggest some ideas. Thanks.
Database 'TEST' is already open and can only have one user at a time.
I also tried this command but having the same error.
Use Master GO Select * from master.sys.sysprocesses Where spid > 50             And dbid=DB_ID (‘StuckDB’))  -- replace with your database name
