In 2007 we plan on moving many of our SQL Servers (2000 & 2005) to a SAN. We will also be investigating the best way to replicate data from our production SAN to a Disaster Recovery SAN. I would like to know if people rely on built-in SQL Server replication / log shipping or third party products like DoubleTake or MirrorView. What's the advantage, if any, to using a third-party product?
Thanks, Dave
Hello,
I would like to know if anyone has a recommended method for having backups to tape while running log shipping. For example, is it possible to copy the transaction log backups used for log shipping to tape and apply them to a Full Database Restore from a 3rd Party Backup tool such as Veritas?
My goal is to be able to do a point-in-time restore from tape and still be able to use SQL Server 2005 Log Shipping.
Thanks,
Erik
Hi,
I am very new to SQL Server. Plenty of SQL knowledge but the whoe SQL server enviornment is new.
I am working with SQL Server 2005. My task is to generate reports without affecting our live database. I have setup a second server and installed SQL Server 2005 on that too. My thought was that maybe I could mirror or replicate the table I require over to this new server and run my queries from here. Is this easy to do ?
I read that mirroring might not work as it is solely for back up /fall over purposes and that data on the mirrored server would not be accessible.
I have also been looking at SSIS but at the moment this is all a bit like double dutch to me ! Can anyone point me in the right direction, preferably somewhere beginner friendly ie not overly complicated !!
Thanks a mill,
Sophie
Hello,
We have four mobile devices that are set up for merge replication via the web. We are not receiving errors but some of the data is not coming over to the devices. If we manually add a record that record will come over, but there is data that is on the server that isn't on the devices. If we run the snapshot for each device (We're using host_name as a filter) nothing happens. If we do validation check we get errors. If we reinitialize all devices it works but the next days data (sql job populates data to the publisher db at night) isn't on the device after syncing the next morning. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi friends, I,m familiar with accessing data from a SQL DB using ASP. Lets say I have a cinema website with lots of info about upcoming shows, well, how do I export data form the database to a third party?? Lets say a local newspaper wants the show-time info. How do I get the data to them. Also how are different files
.xls etc,exported? Thanks for any help.

I'm going through a very tedious process of documenting tables and fields for a third party database, with an eye toward creating lots of SSRS Reports. I'm making progress, but I was wondering if there's a slick way to export all the tables, fields and key relationships.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAre there any known problems with replicating structure changes (New table, etc...), as well as data in MSSQL Server 7.0?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have a database that I would like to replicate on another server but am unable to use regular replication via publish/subscribe due to the fact that the production database has no primary keys on tables, only clustered indexes. The backup db needs to be as close to real-time synchronized as possible and will be in fairly active use most of the time. Has anyone had success in developing such a system? How did you do it and what are the pitfalls? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have SQL Server running on my internal LAN. I want to have a second SQL Server running on a hosted (shared) website. I then would like these servers to talk to each other. At some scheduled time I need to publish data to the web, and I then need to subscribe to data input on the web by various clients. My internal LAN can see the Internet via our cable modem.
What is the best way to do this? What software will I need to run. I'm looking for the big picture.
Thanks for the help everyone.
Hi, need some help.
Basically I need to replicate 2 tables from a Visual Fox Pro application to SQL server 2005
From an Intranet to a hosted Center. (Different domains)
Is this possible?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
I need to find a solution for having the same database objects on two servers without the data, and be able to synchronize them on demand.
Whenever a table changes (alter, create, delete) I need to be able to replicate those changes to the destination server without affecting its data.
If I add, alter or delete a stored procedure, or other objects such as functions, etc. I need to be able to see those changes on the destination.
any ideas.
I have a SQL 2005 database that I am using with a website. This basic website will be sold to other companies and ran on their servers with different URLs. Since, All of these databases will store different data, I'm not sure how I can make updates to original database and replicate those structure changes to the other DBs without changing the data also. Is there a way to automate the replication of structural DB changes without replicating the data along with it?
Thanks,
Kirk
Hello,
I've been searching for information on this for awhile unsuccessully. I am using SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edititon and transactional replication with separate publisher, distributor and subscribers. I need to encrypt data on our publisher and then I need to replicate that data out (i.e., encrypted data, not encrypted transmission). Since the keys are server specific, I imaging there might be some difficulty in doing this, but I figure I can't be the only one with this problem. Does anyone have a resource or know what must be done to get this accomplished?
Thanks,

I've been having an issue with the integration of a third-party DLL into a custom data flow component.
The company sent me a C# project that generates a simple console application. The project includes a class that calls their DLL with DllImport. The console application runs fine.
I created a stand-alone class using the C# class they sent to expose the methods of their DLL. In my custom component, I'm referencing this class to pass data to and from their DLL.
The first method from that stand-alone class that my component encounters simply gets their installation path from the registry and does not use DllImport. That path retrieval works fine. The next method calls a function that is declared with DllImport. Each time the call fails with "System.DllNotFoundException = {"Unable to load DLL AMZip.dll': Exception from HRESULT: 0xE06D7363"}".
I've copied this DLL to countless locations (e.g., the PipelineComponents directory, the project/solution bin directory) and included these paths in all manner of path variables.
What am I missing here? Their DLL is not strong named (does this matter since I'm using DllImport?), my stand-alone class is, and of course, the custom component itself is. I appreciate the help.
Hi all,
I'm currently running a SQL Server 2005 setup (or so I believe) to use Windows Authentication. When I load Management Studio, the following popup box appears:
Server Type (greyed out): Database Engine
Server Name: Thor
Authentication: Wndows Authentication
U/N and P/W: greyed out
I can connect to my databases using PHP by specifying 'Thor' as my DB host, the DB name and then the username and password of a user I created.
The problem is that I cannot connect to my local server using EMS Data Export 2005 for SQL Server. I can use it to connect to a remote SQL DB on our web server but if I try to connect locally, it generates an error saying that the 'SQL Server does not exist or access denied'.
Does anyone have any experience with connecting to a local SQL server? I'm assuming that I need to setup my server to allow for external connections or something but I'm in the dark on the matter.
Any help would be very appreciated!
Thanks.
Hi,
I need to implement SQL Reporting Services but do not wish to use the production database for running the reports against. I intend to set a seperate server for reporting services. The data only needs to be refreshed on a daily basis, during slient hours. What would be the best way to copy data from the production to the reporting services server?

How do you setup replication from SQL Server 2000 to a oracle database? We want to push changes from sql sever to oracle, evertime sql server table is changed. I have a working ODBC connection. When I try setting up a push to the oracle side I can not find the subscriber In the list. Can someone point me in a direction, with a detailed way of doing this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello! I'm new to these forums.
I have been trying to replicate from Sql Server to Postgres using Enterprise Manager and the Postgres ANSI ODBC driver version 8.02.02.
With enterprise manager, I was able to copy tables over when I used the option to "DROP existing table and re-create it," but columns of data types datetime and decimal were copied as varchar.
So I tried drop the tables manually in Postgres and then create them with the proper data types (timestamp without time zone, and numeric). I then tried changing the article option to "Keep the existing table unchanged" and I get the following error from the Distribution agent: Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.
So I then tried using the article snapshot option "Delete all data in the existing table" and I got the same error.
Anyone has any luck replicating in this fashion? Or should I maybe go about it differently?

Good morning,
I have a table that I am including in replication. However, I do NOT want the data for one of its columns to be included in the replication. Meaning, I want all of the schema and all of the data EXCEPT for a single column.
How do I do this?
I have searched the forum for some ideas, but did not find any.
Thanks in advance...
I need to upload bulk data into a datatable. Some of the source data will already exist in the target table to be updated. How can I INSERT only the new data into this datatable? Thanks.

Running SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.
Client is running X- version of application and corresponding database size is huge. Now client's vendor is releasing Y-version of same application with many database schema changes (like new tables added, new columns added, renamed existing columns and etc) To upgrade to the Y-version, vendor is suggesting to my client that down the system and do the upgrade for application/database to Y-version. We are sure that this process will take days together to upgrade to the Y-version. My client is not ready to down the system for that long. So we are trying to find the solution with minimal down time.The approach we are thinking is,
1) Create the replicated database to another server (server2) from production server(server1) using golden gate with X-version
2) Create new tables/schema updated tables from Y-version database on same server1. Here for Updated schema tables we are planning to use the name <table_name_Y_version> as the same table name exists in X-version.
3)With above 2 steps, golden gate replicate the changes from production to server1 and server1 will have the new Y-version table schema (with different concatenate name ' _Y_version'). BTW , there is no affect for the production
4) At this stage we are planning to find best approach, to fill the '<table_name>_Y_version' from X-version tables. two challenges here a) all data needs to be moved to Y-version tables b) they have to sync data in real time.
we thought of going to
a) ssis package to pump the data to Y-version tables, but real time data will not sync.
b) trigger based technique, previous experience said, lot of load
c) thinking about sql replication.
when i do a snapshot i have it set up to truncate before inserting. As a result I'm getting an error saying that it cant truncate a table reference in an indexed view. What settings should i use to allow for a snapshot in this instance? Should i manually drop the databinding then snap then recreate the databinding? there has to be a better way
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,It was my understanding (Please correct me if I'm wrong on this!) thatBLOB data actually reside on their own separate pages and a BLOB fieldonly holds a pointer to the location of the actual data, therefore theBLOB data per se would not get written to the log, only the pointerwould be written.If log shipping works by applying the transaction log to the standbydatabase, then what happens to the BLOB data?Related question, how does transactional replication work? Is it alsobased on the transaction log?TIA,Ellen

I could not able to find Forums in regards to 'Log Shipping' thats why posting this question in here. Appriciate if someone can provide me answers depends on their experience.
Can we switch database recovery model when log shipping is turned on ?
We want to switch from Full Recovery to Bulk Logged Recovery to make sure Bulk Insert operations during the after hours load process will have some performance gain.
Is there any possibility of loosing data ?
Thanks

Out of using stored procedure, reports and all this staff, I want to know the possible way to make sure that the data inside my Secondary Server Read only database are same as data in my primary server database.
So what is the simple way to do this check?
Hi,
I 'm sure I am missing something obvious, hopefully someone could point it out. After a failover log shipping, I want to fail back to my inital Primary server database; however, my database is marked as loading. How can I mark it as normal?
I did the failover as follow:
I did a failover log shipping from the 2 server Sv1 (Primary) and Sv2 (Secondary) by doing the following
1) Stop the primary database by using sp_change_primary_role (Sv1)
2) Change the 2nd server to primary server by running sp_change_secondary_role (Sv2)
3) Change the monitor role by running sp-change_monitor_role (Sv2)
4) Resolve the log ins - (Sv2)
5) Now I want to fail back - I copy the TRN files to Sv1 - use SQL Ent to restore the database at point in time. The task is done; however, the database is still mark as loading. I could not use sp_dboption.
I appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks in advance
I am looking at various software packages that can help deploy SQLdata to a remote DR facility. Essentially I am looking for somethingthat would allow us to bring up a cold or warm standby SQL server tobe used in the event of a site disaster. In the past I have used EMCtechnologies and found it to be a good option but kind of on theexpensive side. As of late we have started to look at a couple ofsoftware/kernel level application that offer similar functionalityHas anyone had any experience using Double Take or Evergreen with SQLserver and deploying data to a remote data facility? Are there anyother products that offer similar functionality that you canrecommend?ThanksShawn

I have to load data from from a text file ( approx 3-5 million rows) into a table .
I can use straight bcp with the format file , but the loading of data has to follow some business logic
