Restore Database Daily Without SP's
Jul 20, 2005
Hello all,
I have the following requirement (SQL 2000, SP2)
1. Need to restore production database(A) to another database (B) on
another server (No direct connection)
2. In the restored back-up(B) SP codes should not be visible (even to
sa) or all SP's can be deleted .
3. This needs to be carried out daily
4. New tables may be added frequently to A
5. This job should be scheduled
6. I can overwrite the entire database (B)
7. I can not encrypt SP in the original database (A)
I thought of Snap-shot replication first. But when new tables are
added , I need to add new tables manually to publication .
Can some one suggest most reliable and implementable method ?
Thanks
Srinivas

I am implementing an application that is looking into another System’s database (DBF). I need to query out new orders that have been put in daily. What is the best way to handle this situation? Should I write a service or have a trigger setup in MSDE? I just need to do a simple SELECT statement that grabs orders between a date range and update my SQL database (MSDE). I am not looking for specific code examples, just a solution.
What are my choices?
Thanks,
Jason

Some of our databases have many transactions (a million or more) a day. I have read that every so often I need to rebuild indexes, update statictics for all tables (however that is done), and shrink the transaction logs.
I'm confused by all this. What are the daily recommended database maintennace steps steps for database "health" and how can they be done?
TIA,

I would like to use SQL Server's built in database snapshot feature. We have a database (e.g., ThatDatabase), and I would like to capture a snapshot of it at exactly midnight each morning. I would need the snapshot to have the same name each day (e.g., ThatDatabase12AM). My non-technical end users (statisticians with SAS) are going to use the snapshot a lot, but are not going to be able to handle it it having a different name every day.
Obviously, I could set up a job with a start time of 23:59:50 that drops the existing snapshot and then creates a new snapshot. This would have the problem that the snapshot name disappears for a few seconds every day. That would either a) kill user sessions, or b) block the snapshot drop and delay the new snapshot until after exactly 12:00 AM.

Hello -
I have a database server with over 300 databases. I want that MS-SQL Server should daily report me the sizes of SQL databases along with Transaction log files by sending me an email on my address.
How can I do that. Does someone have any script which can help me to do that.
Any help will be appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Rubal Jain

Looking for what others have done to keep a copy of a database, for read only, on another instance. Need to do this once a day early in the morning with no, or minimal, downtime at the source and target. We have applications that access this copy 24/7, so prefer not to disconnect active users, as a detach/attach or backup/restore might do. Permissions are different on each instance, so would prefer not to overlay users on destination database. Options we are looking at right now are...
Log Shipping
Snapshot Replication
Transfer SQL Objects Task (SSIS)
Our environment for this is SQL 2012 on Windows 2012, in the same AD domain located in the same server room. The database size is 1gb. Needs to be copied around 6:30am daily. Does not need to be updated thru the day.

Hello..
I want to upgrade my website to asp.net 2.0 and I want to add a Daily news to website.and 10 to 15 news will be added daily , so after a year we have almost 4000 entry in the database.
For designing this DB what is your advice on how to store news in database?Is it better to create same tables for each year ? for exampletblNews_2005tblNews_2006
Or just to make one table and have all news stored in that ? its gonna be huge after years , isnt that make any problems?
ThanksRegards.

On our particular database server, we run the Rebuild Index Task (Using classic Maintenance Plan Designer) every night. Running the script below, I saw that about 77 tables had an avg_fragmentation_in_percentage between 80% and 99% !!
SELECT OBJECT_NAME(ind.OBJECT_ID) AS TableName,
ind.name AS IndexName, indexstats.index_type_desc AS IndexType,
indexstats.avg_fragmentation_in_percent
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats(DB_ID(), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL) indexstats
INNER JOIN sys.indexes ind
ON ind.object_id = indexstats.object_id
AND ind.index_id = indexstats.index_id
WHERE indexstats.avg_fragmentation_in_percent > 30--You can specify the percent as you want
ORDER BY indexstats.avg_fragmentation_in_percent DESC
I dont understand why these tables are highly fragmented after a daily index rebuild! Unless the users are doing heavy inserts/updates/deletes during the day.

I have multiple web databases for storefront orders as linked servers on SQL Server 2008 R2. I need to organize the data for these orders into a structure that can be imported into my ERP application db frequently either on demand or periodically during the day. We are essentially trying to make the manual order entry process automated. My thought was to get the data into views that resemble the schema of the order table in my application db and then schedule a stored procedure with sql jobs or a load routine from within the ERP application that would insert data from the view into the order table.

I have seen this before. A 2000 restore fails, leaving the database thinking it is being restored but the restore job failed and errors when it is restarted. EM is clueless. I believe there is a proc to reset some flag. Can you share it with me???
Thanks!

Trying to keep out sysadmins & sa during/between database RESTORE
Configuration:
WINNT Server Enterprise 4.0 w/SP5
SQL Server 7 Enterprise & SP1
2 SQL Servers:
Production Server
Standby server
I Backup (full backup) databases to disk on primary server (logical backup devices are physicaly located on a Standby server (dedicated gigabit NIC in each server for this process). Transaction logs are applied to the Standby server throughout the day.
Problem:
How to keep out "sa" and sysadmins from a database while I'm restoring (or between restores) to a standby server?
The database being restored cannot be in use during a restore.
If a DBA forgets that this process is happening, the statement fails (RESTORE)for the database they happen to be in at the time of the restore.
Example restore statement:
Standby Server -
RESTORE DATABASE databasename FROM database_dd WITH DBO_ONLY, REPLACE, STANDBY = 'g:Mssql7FromPrimaryDatabaseName_undo.ldf'
I could restrict Domain sysadmin access and change sa password. I could also put the database in "Single user" mode, however this could become problem if my process disconnects and then someone else connects - then my process is locked out. What I'm really looking for is to lock out all activity for a database that is in "standby mode" except for RESTORE processes.
Any ideas??

We have a daily process, which copies millions of rows of data from one DB to another over Linked Server. Just checking on the best practise, are there more efficient ways than the Linked server to copy millions of rows of data from one DB to another? I checked bulk insert but that transfers the data from the file to DB not DB to DB.

Anybody figure a way around this:
In a development server you take a backup and you want to move the entire database to a production server. The production server does not contain the database, users, or logins in master.
When you restore the backup to production in 7.0, the users get moved to DBO because the logins do not exist and then you cannot delete them.
We are having to drop the users from the database on development, back up the database and restore it to production, then recreate the users on production.
This is bogus and did not happen in 6.5 because of the aliases.
Anybody come up with a better way?

I am fairly new to VS 2005 and SQL Server CE. I have developed a Desktop Windows application using VB 2005 and the SQL Compact Edition Database. This application will sell to users via web download.
When they download a service patch, or updated version, I wish for them to retain the data in their present database. In other words, fill the new database with the old data. The new table structures will remain intact except for added columns at the end.
Question is how to save the old data and update the new database with it. Is there an easy way to do this, or do I need to write a module to save a database copy, and update the new database with content at install time?

Sometime during the night last night some user account permissions were "lost". Am I right to think that restoring the master database would be the way to go? We have a 2 node 2012 cluster and I stop the cluster resource and start the db in single user mode from the active node. Somehow the sharepoint farm is still trying to connect so I can't get logged in single user. What method could I use to stop users from connecting when I don't have access to the sharepoint farm.

i have a development database that has updates and changes to a production database. rather than go through individually and alter all relevant tables and stored procedures, id like to back up the database on the development side and restore it on the production side as the production database. is there a way to restore the database on the production server but preserve all the security settings (ie logins and such)? i noticed on our development server, that if i try to restore the database with my development database, it overwrites the users and/or if the user is the same on both, it removes the login name for that user.

I am using VB.Net to do the backup and restore.
Is there any way of doing it?

I have a client that has POS software called Restaurant Pro Express (RPE) from [URL] ...
Their old POS computer had a hardware failure, but I was able to attach the hard-drive to another computer and recover the data. RPE uses a MSSQL database system. However, my client doesn't seem to make backups very often
- the last one is dated January 5, 2015. I was able to copy the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server folder over which contained the instance as well as all the data files - and has up-to-date information. The instance in the recovered Microsoft SQL Server folder was called MSSQL.1. I installed the RPE software on their new computer, and it too now has an instance called MSSQL10_50.PCAMERICA. The new computer is using MSSQL 2008 R2, while I believe the old computer would have been using MSSQL 2005.
I am no DBA expert, especially when it comes to MSSQL. Is is possible to 'restore' the database from the 'raw' .mdf and .ldf files of the old computer to the new computer / database instance? If so, how should I proceed?

I had a major disk failure, and the only SQL Server files I was able to recover were master.dat, msdb.dat,msdblog.dat, two text files and two database devices. My question, is it possible in SQL 6.5 to restore a database from just the database device, and if so, how? Thank you.

I'm a newbie so please be gentle.In attempting to run a restore I get the following error message:"Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is inuse." However, it doesn't appear that there are any connections to thedatabase. At the suggestion of another thread, I ran sp_who2 and thereare no connections to the database in question. I've been running thesame restore for months and all has been well, until yesterday....I wrote an .asp page (below) to test connectivity to this database.The vb code ran successfully and soon thereafter, my nightly restorefailed. Task manager does no show that the asp page is active.Lastly, I did add a user ("jbtest") as well as change the option to useeither Windows authentication or SQL Server authentication inEnterprise Manager.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.<%@ Language=VBScript %><%companyName = "agemni"Set cnn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")cnn.ConnectionString = "DRIVER=SQLServer;SERVER=SHEELA-NA-GIG;UID=jbtest;PWD=test1;APP=MicrosoftDevelopment Environment;WSID=SHEELA-NA-GIG;DATABASE=" & companyName &";Trusted_Connection=No"cnn.ConnectionTimeout = 300cnn.CommandTimeout = 300cnn.OpenSet RS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")strSQL = "SELECT * FROM Preferences"RS.Open strSQL, cnnResponse.Write "connection established with the <b>" & RS("CompanyName") & "</b> database.

I want to add a new table to a database on a server. I assume the best way to do this is to backup db on sever, restore to local computer, add table, backup local, and restore to server. (If there is a better way, I am open).
I can backup the database on the server and get the backup to my local computer. However, when I use SQL Server Management Studio Express to restore the .bak file to my computer, I get the following error:

The data in one of the tables in my datables got deleted.
I want to restore my database to an earlier time, but don't know how.
I'm not sure if I have any backups, I wasn't making any myself.
All I have is the ldf file, but I don't know how to open it or what it contains.

On a test server I had deleted the .MDF to testdb, before deleting the .mdf
I had backup the database inserted some records into a table and then backup
the transaction log.
I brought the server down and back up then did the following:
use master
go
BACKUP LOG test
TO TestRestore_Log2_Backup
WITH NO_TRUNCATE
GO
RESTORE DATABASE test
FROM Test_Backup
WITH NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE LOG test
FROM TestRestore_Log1_Backup
WITH NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE LOG test
FROM TestRestore_Log2_Backup
WITH NORECOVERY
I receive all kinds of errors like:
Primary file not available for database 'test'
( i'm sure that's because the .mdf is gone),One or more devices or files already exist use REPLACE, Which is fine but when I do I only get the full back and not the latest transaction log?

I was restoring a database from a backup I had made about a month ago and it gave me an error. I don't remember what it said exactly, but I know that it had to do w/ restoring the transaction log. Now, I can't access the database at all. When I try to access it through enterprise manager, it says "An error occurred while trying to access the database information." If I try through Query Analyzer, it says that the database is in the middle of a restore. I checked the sysprocesses table and there is nothing running against this database.
Is there anyway to recover this database, or am I going to have to recreate it from scratch. Please tell me I can recover the database!!!!

I have 2 servers SQl server 7 and 2000.
I got a backup file from the customer for one of the database. So I created a new database using similar script as below
create database TESTUP
ON
(NAME = TESTUPDATA,
FILENAME='C:PROGRAM FILESMSSQL7DATATESTUPDATA.dat',
SIZE=10GB)
LOG ON
(NAME = TESTUPLOG,
FILENAME='C:PROGRAM FILESMSSQL7DATATESTUPLOG.dat',
MAXSIZE=500MB)
GO
sp_addlogin TESTUP, TESTUP, TESTUP
GO
USE TESTUP
GO
sp_adduser TESTUP
GO
When I use enterprise manager to force restore that backup copy to this database I just created, even though I have setup maxsize for LOG as 500 MB it still gets all their logs 50 GB !!! I do not want their logs in the 1st place and then I tried to restrict them I could not do so.
So I restored it as it was urgent and then tried to shrink the datafiles for LOGS but they did not shrunk much.
Is their any way to avoid getting the transaction logs during the restore ???
In other words can just get the datafiles and not the transaction logs ?
