I'm trying to configure log shipping When I retore the full disk dump of my databaseto my standby server, I need to be able to go in and drop and recreate several user logins(so they can do reports, read-only).
Once I do this though, I will be unable to restore T-logs, right?
Anyone know a way to get it back into a read only state and able to accept T-log restores? Thanks.

Hi all,
I am restoring database from Transaction Logs. I followed all the steps
mentioned in the book. Just before the last step there are three options
1. Leave Database Operational. No Additional Logs can be Restored.
2. Leave Database Nonoperational But Able to Restore Additional
Transaction Logs.
3. Leave Database Read_Only And Able To Restore Additional Transaction Logs.
Option 2 and 3 aresupposed to set on the NORECOVERY flag.
I tried both options 2, and 3 , But still got messages that I did not
specify WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY.
Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in Advance.

I am trying to restore a set of transactions logs on my SQL server and I keep getting the following error 'The preceding restore operation did not specify with NO 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.
Can someone please show me how to properly restore a set of backup logs with specifying the required recovery option?
Thanks
We have received a backup file that is 6G in size. The log file isabout 74G while the MDF is about 5 G when we restored. Is there a wayto run a SQL script to restore the .BAK file without restoring the logfile as we do not have enough space on the server.PS. We are running Sql2K5.Thanks!

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have recently implemented a backup solution that keeps our standby server up-to-date with nightly database backup and restores. Ironed out all the problems with syslogins and orphan users. It's been working very well over the past few weeks.
On the production server we do hourly tran log dumps every hour between 8am and 10pm. I would like to implement some form of "log shipping" to bring the window of vulnerability down to 1 hour. By making some alterations to my current process I been able to incorporate the hourly log dumps in the same process.
However, when I try to restore the log on the standby servre I get the following message,
Server: Msg 4305, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Specified file 'HODB1SQLBACKUPRace_Prd_T_dump.200101231513' is out of sequence. Current time stamp is Jan 23 2001 2:01PM while dump was from Jan 23 2001 3:01PM.
After a bit of investigation I found the dumptrdate field in the sysdatabases table and it was set to Jan 23 2001 14:01. After updating this field to Jan 23 2001 14:01, I ran the load command again but received the same error message.
Is there something else that needs updating on the standby server? Is what I'm trying to do possible in 6.5? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I have scheduled a database backup at 9 pm and 5 Transaction Log backups. The transaction Log backups happen at 11 am, 1 pm, 3 pm and 5 pm (device does not get initialized) and one at 11 pm where i initialize the backup device. now i have another server with the same database on it. I restore these backups on to this server by simple copying the files and then doing Restore ...From Device...Add file...option. I am able to restore the DB backup but when i try to restore the log backups it get the error msg -
'Specified file 'G:...' is out of sequence. current time stamp is Feb 9 2000 3:54 pm while dump was from Feb 9 2000 3 pm.'
When i am restoring the logs i start from the 1st backup buyt still i get this error. Can someone pls let me know what the problem is and how to resolve it. Thanks.
Hey all,
Just went through migrating to SQL 2005 as well and we have a need to apply log shipping between SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. Well not shipping per say in the automated fashion that SQL 2005 offers but rather we need to apply SQL 2000 transaction logs to a SQL 2005 instance. Though the database is still in SQL 2000 version 80 and the secondary database needs to be available in read only. (STANDBY MODE)
When I attempt to restore either a FULL backup or transaction log I get the error:
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. This backup cannot be restored using WITH STANDBY because a database upgrade is needed. Reissue the RESTORE without WITH STANDBY
The only way I could restore the FULL was by using the WITH RECOVERY OR NORECOVERY option during the restore process. The issue with this is I need the database in standby by mode in order to continue to append transaction logs.
Anybody have any thoughts how I might be able to get around this?
Thanks
Eric
I need to ensure users can submit SQL queries (readonly) to a database whilst transaction logs are restored (at 15 minutes intervals.)
Is this possible?
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.

I was wondering if there is any way all SQL Server error log entries could be automatically written to Windows Event Log.Â
Hi,
In my case I have to log the errors raised by any task in a package to either windows event log, text file or SQL server. Also I need to send an email notifications to a group of people telling them about the error.
Now can I use SSIS package logging for logging the errors into the required destinations. I mean right clicking on the package and selecting Logging, then adding the required log providers and enabling the events for logging into those. I think I have to upfront select the log providers to log the error, I will not have the liberty to log the error to the destination, the name of which is passed as a variable to the package. This is okay with me though.
Now what will a custom log provider help me to do in this case. Also can I somehow configure my package to call the send mail task everytime an error is raised.
Also, one more option can be developing a package that only does the error handling. It will take in the paramters or the error codes and descriptions, the destination to write to and a flag to send mail or not for that particular type of error.
What do you think? Kindly advise.
Thanks in advance for your help and time.

When looking at SQL Server error logs, I noticed that the current error
log had grown to 1MB whereas most of the files are only a few KB.
QUESTION 1: Can I set the max size for an error log file? If so, how?
QUESTION 2: If not, is there a workaround?
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?

I am looking for a good introduction into the handling of certificates in SQL 2005.
I need to sign a procedure to allow it to access a dm view.
I do understand the theory and the syntax, but I have trouble coming up with an easy but still secure way to create these certificates on all customer servers without allowing misuse.
All articles I could find are going through creating a new database, setting up a certificate with or without password, signing an example proc and then dropping the database.
Non seems to care about the problems that occur later on during the life of a certificate.
Thanks
Hi:I have a site that is getting close to production. I am using SQL Server 2005 express and VWD express. Up to this point, I have been updating the live server by deleting the file and copying the MDF file from my development machine in its place. This clearly won't work once the site goes live - but I still expect to be doing a lot of upgrading of stored procedures etc. Can someone point me to a resource or make any suggestions that would help me in this regard?Thanks,Roger Swetnam
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to create a DB version upgrade schema on client site that will preserve the existing data.
Provide the user with a patch that he can run on his database that wiil apply changes to his DB structure and keep the old data.
One approach that I am thinking of is to create a differential DB patch - a and apply that to the client database.
Is there any strategy any algorithm to do that. Can it be automated?
If there any accomplishments or approaches known on the subject?

I have a sql express database with a couple tables of information. I have a user modifying one of these tables with a data access page using Office Web Controls.
To backtrack a bit, the sql db used to be an access db. The same user modifying the data the same way. I also had a asp page making odbc calls to the access db to lookup information. But if the data access page was open, the odbc page would error. So i moved the data to sql.
Now, I'm getting ready to setup an application to make odbc calls to the sql db. I still want the user to modify the data using the DAP. Should I allow the user to modify the live data used for the app or should I make a copy of the data everytime its updated?

We€™re doing a website for a TV station, and they want to have a live TV broadcast on their website, our experience is basically in CMS and portal solutions, but we never had any experience in live streaming, so this is all new to us, so we€™re looking for a technical and financial proposal with your suggestions and recommendations, this is the details of the project with some of the inquiries we have:
-The signal is SDI (Pal 25 fps)
-The output (online streaming) 15 fps
-The user will have two options to view the movie in:
1. Low: 56K
2. High: 300K
-The video should come within a customized designed page, probably as a code we can place inside an html table€™s cell, not as a link for external link
-We€™re expecting about 200 users for the video each month; each user€™s logon time expected 10 min.
-We have a Red hat Linux on our server that will host the site, and we use php/MySql technology.
Inquires:
1. Why Windows media is better then Real in terms of performance, can you provide us with a comparison table to include it to our client?
2. If we choose Windows media, what are the requirements we need to have, form both; the TV station side, and in our Linux server? And how much would it cost?
4. Is there any hardware required from the TV station side such as DVR, or some sort of encoder, if so; what€™s you€™re recommendations (type/ brand), please note that this is a TV station and it needs a high quality professional hardware
5. How (and this is probably the most ambiguous task)
5.1. Do you broadcast the digital signal coming from the encoder (I guess) to the server?
5.2. And then place this signal on a PHP page? Do you give us a link to embed in our code?
6. If we choose to host the live streaming on a separated server and include the URL in our code, would that still required from our server to support Windows media, or it doesn€™t matter as long as the video streaming is hosted on a Windows streaming server
7. How much disk space does it need to host a live streaming (with the details mentioned above)?
We would really appreciate your comments and suggestions, as this is our 1st time to dealing with live streaming.
I moved one of the ssis packages from dev to prod.
Did the same for the configuration file which contains the connectionstring.
Now I would like to run the package in live but the error is:
Description: The configuration file name "S:ImportsTradesEnvironment.dtsConfig" is not valid. Check the configuration file name.
The file does indeed exist and the connectionstring has the correct string.
Any thoughts please?
I'm developing a web app using ASP.NET and SQL Server 2005 Express. So far it's all been on my local computer, it hasn't gone live yet, so if I need to add a column to a table or make some other schema change I just do it right in Visual Studio, nice and simple. If I have to delete all the old content and start over, no problem. When I deploy it to a staging server I just overwrite the existing file with my new one, losing its data in the process. But soon enough I'll be deploying this to a public web server, there will be real live data in the db, people using it when I need to make updates.
What are some common strategies for updating the schema of a database on a live server?
It's obvious that when I need to update the db I'll have to shut down the site temporarily. But my biggest question is how to keep the existing data from the live db? I obviously can't overwrite it with my local copy. I want to overwrite its schema, without touching its data. How's that done?
Thanks for some advice!

I am experiencing a situation where certain functions work perfectly when I run it on my local machine under MVS, but when I upload it to the server, then it does not?!
Here is an example:
I am using a drop down box (in a FormView) that is databound in an online submission form. When I run the application in MVS, then I can edit the records by opening the form, and selection the new value in the drop down list. The new value is then also saved to the database when I hit the update button. When I upload the code to the server, then the drop down list shows the correct information (so the databinding to the control seem to work correctly), but the new value is not saved to the database.
Here is the code for the drop down list:
"DropDownList1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource3"DataTextField="UserName" DataValueField="UserId" SelectedValue='<%# Bind("UserId") %>'CssClass="text">"SqlDataSource3" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:LocalSqlServer %>"SelectCommand="SELECT [UserName], [UserId] FROM [vw_aspnet_Users] ORDER BY [UserName]"> Here is the code updating the database with the record (I have removed some records as well as the Insert and Delete parts):
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:tourism_connect1 %>"UpdateCommand="UPDATE Resorts SET typeid = @typeid, destrictid = @destrictid, UserId = @UserId, WHERE (resortid = @resortid)"OnInserted="SqlDataSource1_Inserted">
<UpdateParameters><asp:Parameter Name="typeid" /><asp:Parameter Name="destrictid" /><asp:Parameter Name="UserId" /><asp:Parameter Name="resortid" /></UpdateParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>
What I can mention further, is that if I connect to the database that is on the live server (so the application runs in MVS on my local machine, but it then retrieves the info from the online database), then it also works fine. It is just giving this issue when the online application is trying to update the values.
There is also no errors during the process.
I will appreciate any advise on how to overcome this, as I really do not know where to look anymore...
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Jan
Hello,
I have my local development evrioment and my live webserver in colo. The two different machinces both have SQL2005 and copies of roughly the same database. I use the one for developement and the other obviously for production. Currently I read in different connection strings from my web.config file for my live version v my development version so I can have different database names and connection strings.
I'm looking at moving to LINQ, but I can't figure out how I'd achive an equivelent flexibility as database names and connection strings seem to be hardcoded in to the class using it's designer. Obviously if modifing this wasn't possible, nobody would be using LINQ, so how do I work around this?
Thanks,

I have a problem in that I have a live SQL 7.0 server as a back end to a web server for a large company in Germany and of course we also have a development server locally which is more or less the same apart from data. The ASP developers here want to upload some data to the live server and also download live data from the live server so that we have more or less the same data on both systems.
I have thought about doing this with DTS adn writing SQL scripts to merge the tables and then upload back to the live server etc. but before I do I wondered if anyone had experience of doing this before (I am sure) and could either tell me what are the best methods or package to do or point me or mail me an article that covers this sort of thing.
Of course extreme paranioa creeps in at the thought of copying down large tables from the live server etc. etc. so if anyone can help - great!
