How To Upgrade SQL Server 2000 Cluster To SQL Server 2005 Cluster(Database)
May 8, 2007Hi
We are planning to upgrade the SQL Server in our production environment from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. This is a 4 Node cluster environment with 3 Databases on 3 Virtual instances. The main requirement is to achieve this with no/minimal downtime.
Could you please suggest or direct me to any documentation for the best practices used to upgrade such an environment?

Database Restore Failed, Now Inaccessible And Can Not Restore.
Apr 27, 2007I 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???

RESTORE Database - Database In Use, Restore Fails
Nov 19, 199911/19
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??

Jan 31, 2005Hello,
We have a microsoft cluster set up with several different databases, we have 5 different webservers that connect to the databases nad a very frequently visited site. a couple of days back we starrted experiencing a problem when posting data into one of the databases, the specific database is the biggest one we have, just below 8 gb of data ( all of the data is basically in 2 different tables).
we run w2k advanced serve service pack 4 , ms clustering , sqlserver sp3.
we started getting messages of timeouts from the webservers, so the timeout was because data couldnt be posted in the database.
after trying to figure out what the problem was , running dbcc checkdb etc i found no errors, but decided to restore a backup. , i did so and things worked perfect again. but only for a days time.. this of course made me consider database /table size being a problem, i now deleted the tables that contained the data and scripted new ones, that "solved" the problem of being able to post data , BUT, we need to have the other data in there as well. i am a bit at a loss now , aný clues out there?
Friendly Regards

Restore Of Database Backup To Another Database Makes Users DBO
May 7, 1999Anybody 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?
How To Backup CE Database Tables And Restore To Newer Database?
Jul 3, 2007I 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?
Database Backup In Cluster Environment
Aug 7, 2000Hi Everbody:
I would like to know your experience about how to make regular database restore and point-in-time restore in SQL Cluster environment.
(1). My first question is about database backup. We use SQL Server backup in our shop. We hope that we can back up the database to a one network shared drive. The SQL Server can not do it. It only allows us to back up database to the local drive. Since there is no too much spaces in the local drives (C, D and E), I would like to know how we can back up to the network shared drive.
(2). A few database are critical databases which require point-in-time restore. How we can back up database (complete backup or differential backup), transaction log?
(3). If database and transaction log crash at the same time, can we still do point-in-time restore?
(4). How we do Master DB and MSDB back up? Weekly or monthly?
Thank you very much for your advice.

Cluster Database Backups Question
Sep 13, 2002In a non-clustered environment, I am under the impression that backups must be to a local disk or local tape device.
My plan is to have a separate disk in a clustered environment on a shared array for holding my backups, until they can be transferred somewhere else.
My question is, will SQL Server 2K support backing up to the disk in the shared array since it is (I believe) not considered a local disk? What key points may I need to know.
Thanks very much for the help!!

SQL 2012 :: Restore Master Database For A New Database?
Jul 29, 2014Sometime 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.

Apr 26, 2007i 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.

Possible To Restore Database From Raw MDF And LDF Files Of Old To New Database Instance
Aug 19, 2015I 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?

Database Won't Start In Cluster - Cannot Generate SSPI Context
Jun 2, 2006Hi,
I have a MSSQL database running in a Microsoft cluster. I was working on troubleshooting for another SAP problem when they suggested I change the setting using hte SQL Server Client Network Utility to 'named pipes' from 'tcp/ip'. Every since, despite changing it back I'm unable to start the database in the cluster.
I'm kind of a newbie at this so I'd really appreciate any help in getting this database up and running.
Here is the error message from the event log:
sqsrvres] checkODBCConnectError: sqlstate = HY000; native error = 0; message = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Cannot generate SSPI context
SQL 2012 :: Same Database On Multiple Cluster Nodes For Performance?
Aug 6, 2014Is it possible to create a cluster configuration, where 2 (or more) SQL Server instances running on different servers will simultaneously serve the same database attached to the same storage? Something like this:
Instance A Instance B Instance C
(active) (active) (active)
| /
| /
| /
SAN for Database and Quorum
The point would be to improve reliability and performance at the same time. All nodes would share load. If a node fails, the other nodes still work and take over the load.
I know a failover cluster can be done, where 1 instance is active and others are passive (active/passive) which improves reliability, but in this configuration just 1 instance is serving at the same time.
(As far as I understand, the active/active configuration is meant to run different databases on 2 (or more) instances such that the databases on a failing node are taken over by any other instances in the cluster.)
