Restoring Database Without Overwriting The Old One.
Jan 30, 2008
Hello,
I'm trying to create installer that installs database from empty backed up database.
The SQL script executed by installer:
RESTORE DATABASE [DU] FROM DISK = N'$TARGETDIR$DuTempDU.bak' WITH FILE = 1, MOVE N'DU' TO N'$DATABASE_DIR$DU.mdf', MOVE N'DU_log' TO N'$DATABASE_DIR$DU_log.ldf', NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO
There $TARGETDIR$ and $DATABASE_DIR$ are MSI variables set on runtime. The REPLACE flag is not set, but DU database (non empty )still gets overwritten with empty database. Do I need to check manually if database exists before trying to restore it?

I am very new to SQL, but I am now receiving a updates on a database from an online HD. My idea was that I could download the updated database and paste over the existing database in my SQL folder. For some reason that is not working. How should this database be updated. I would prefer not to have to drop and add everyday.
Possibly I could make a database that is not in any folder and then make an update to it from the newly recieved database, but I am not sure how that would be done.

I have a TEST database which contains 1 cube.
I have created another cube and I want to add this cube to the TEST database also.
However when I deploy the cube it overwrites the database with the new cube and the old cube is gone.
How can I have the 2 cubes within the TEST database.

I have a data dictionary report that is driven by measure and dimension description attributes in the SSAS project. Â Is there a way to generate some XMLA or something that allows me to update this "metadata" only without overwriting the database or requiring a full reprocess?

I am tring to figure out how to simplify the process of populating a database created by an application with the same database, only with data already in it. So far i have created a backup of the database and used that backup file with SQL server management express to overwrite the existing database with that backup file on a new computer so the program will have data when initally installed for Demonstration purposes. I was hoping there was an executable script that i could use, so that when someone wants a demonstration of our product, they can see its options and functionallity with data available. Maby i am going about this the wrong way, i need to know if there is a way that when our program is installed an executable can simply be run to populate our database with a backup of our sample database. Any imput would be helpful.
Thanks.

I did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)
Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.
Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.
Any advice on how to get this thing finished out?

Hi,
I have a small web application managing complaints. During multiuser testing we noticed that when complaints where added at "exactly" the same time one complaint text seemed to be over writing the other, and returning the current max value for table id as current complaint number.
I tested in my development environment and was able to recreate reasonably easily ( 1 go out of 3 recreated the issue ). The Id column itself is an auto increment ( primary key ), so I can't think of a concievable reason why one record should overwrite another. I should say that I am assuming the record is overwritten, perhaps there is a clash and one complaint is ignored by the database.
Have anyone encountered this in the past?
Thanks

Task:
To insert entries into a table. The table has a primary key based on a field 'ID'. When inserting into the destination table, I want to make sure that the new entry will overwrite the old entry.
What's the quickest/cleaniest way to do this ?
thanks,
Clayton

When I create a db backup on our network using BACKUP DATABASE...
BACKUP DATABASE [TKKCommonData] TO DISK = N'G:SQL_BACKUPSTKKCommonDataTKKCommonData_DATA.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'TKKCommonData_DATA-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
I've specified the NOINIT so that it appends rather than overwrites the database, however the database is still overwritten.
Any idea how to get the database to backup and append to the set rather than overwrite the backup ?

I did tried the encryption on server "A" for database "AdventureWorks2012". Then I tried to restore to server "B". There was the certificate issue, and I thought "of course : it's encrypted ! Let's deactivate it". So here I go "ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 SET ENCYRPTION OFF".I look at sys.databases : not encrypted.I backup using no encryption, I verify using msdb.dbo.backupset : not encrypted.
I move my backup to my other server where encryption was never configured (so no certificate, nothing...), and I have the error :
Msg 33111, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Cannot find server certificate with thumbprint '0xFA130E58C999C4919B8975999C83A75A403B11D8'.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

I want to restore a database (from an encrypted .bak file) - but *not* over the live original if you take my meaning. Encryption is the standard AES-256 that comes with Sql Server 2014 btw. I don't want the original touched/altered in any way. I would like to capture a success message if possible.I can extract the physical device name of the database in question using the following code:
SELECT physical_device_name, *
FROM msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily
WHERE media_set_id =(SELECT TOP 1 media_set_id
FROM msdb.dbo.backupset
WHERE database_name='MyDatabase'
AND type='D'
ORDER BY backup_start_date DESC)
I would like if the newly restored database was rename to something different than 'MyDatabase' (as shown above) and has different logs than the original. If possible, and capture a success message when restored.

Just hit a issue where we had a 40gb backup file for a database with an mdf of less than 2gb and tran log less than half a gb.
Noticed someone had set the backup for this database to append the backup file in stead of overwrite it.
Just wondering why would you want to append a backup instead of overwrite it?

I'm using RS2000 SP2 and am getting an issue when exporting to PDF. If I have a table that spans more than one page and I set the RepeatHeaderOnNewPage to True, then on occasion the table header will be displayed on top of the first few rows of data. It does not happen on all the pages or all the time and I can not find any information on this issue. Has anyone come across this before and solved it?

I have a Subscriber database updated using transactional
replication and want to create a copy for development & testing. The Distribution database is running on the
same 2005 instance as the Subscriber and the Publication database on another
server running SQL Server 2005.
If I use a TSQL script to run the restore, the database is
restored to a usable state but I get the following messages:
Msg 15247, Level 16, State 1, Procedure
sp_MSrepl_check_job_access, Line 112
User does not have permission to perform this action.
The replication agent job [job name] was not removed because
it has a non-standard name; manually remove the job when it is no longer in use.
(I€™ve removed the job name from the message)
RESTORE DATABASE successfully processed 46219 pages in
935.413 seconds (0.404 MB/sec).
It looks like an attempt is being made to restore
replication information too. I note that
the RESTORE statement has a KEEP_REPLICATION options which implies (I would have
thought) that by default the replication information is not be restored.
Incidentally, before implementing replication, backing up
the live database and restoring the backup to a new database took < 7
minutes but running the same process with a Subscriber database backup takes
about 15 minutes.
I€™d be interested to know if anyone has any idea what I€™m
overlooking or doing wrong.
ThanksTim

Is this possible?
here is the situation. I have a DB on one system. I back it up and then restore it to a second system. This second system I run reports off of and I want to create custom views that do not exist on the original system. Can I restore the
backup DB from the remote system without wiping out the custom views on the local system?
I have to do this this way as they won't let us create the views we want on the remote system so the only way we have access to run the reports is by restoring the backup locally.
TIA!

1) We have got the database dump (.bak) file in one machine and we need to restore this to another machine where the SQL server (version 7) is running. But in the restore option there is no way to choose any mapped or shared drives in remote machine. Any pointer to resolve this problem?
2) Can you set up a database if you have the .mdf and .ldf files?

I am running SQL 7 on two seperate NT4 servers, a production server and a standby server. Both servers are configured for Mixed Mode authentication. If I back up a database on the production server, do I also need to back up the master database and restore it. My reasoning behind this is that users' login details will be held in the sysxlogins tbl in the master, while their access rights will be held in the sysusers tbl in the database I am backing up and restoring. If I back up and restore a database without backing up and restoring the master db as well, will the connection between the system login and the database user be broken.
Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

Using SQL 7.0, has anyone backed up a database and restored on to a different database without the device files being moved around.
For example, With SQL 6.5 we used to backup PROD (source) database and restore to TRAIN (target) database. It worked just great regardless whether the databases are located on the same drive or not. We loved it and used it to refresh TRAIN from PROD on a weekly basis.(using sql Enterprise Mgr)
However, in SQL 7.0 when we attempt this procedure the database and log files of the TRAIN (target) are getting relocated to the drive location of PROD (source) database. Very strange.
Though thru object transfer i.e. import ,we can import data from PROD(source)
to TRAIN (target) database, but it is very slow and takes lot of time and performance degrades for source database (PROD)
Any input on above will be appreciated if backup / restore thru
enterprise mgr or TSQL procedure works in SQL 7.0 for restoring another database which is also on different drive i.e PROD (source) database on
drive C and TRIAN (target) database on drive E.
Thanks

While this may be in the wrong forum, I thought that I should try here first.
One of the developers that works for this company would like to restore a sample database to the SQL server after installing our software.
Is there a command line command that can be issued to restore/create a database with a file (.bak) of an SQL database (sample)? If this can't be done, can it be done with VBScript or something similar?
SQL is not my strong point, and neither is development. Any help would be appreciated.
TIA.

The preceding restore operation did not specify WITH RECOVERY or WITH STANDBY. Restart the restore sequence, specifying WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY for all but the final step. RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.

Is there a way to restore a database backup file to the default data directory in a specific SQL 2005 instance using T-SQL?
I know that you can use the command RESTORE DATABASE, but that will restore the database files back to it original location. I also know that I can use the WITH MOVE option also, but is there a keyword or some special notation that I can use to make sure that the data/log files are moved to the default data directory for a specific SQL 2005 instance?
I am trying to avoid cases where the original file location does not exists in the current file system.
Thanks in advance,
Rodney
