We have one development server and another production server. I am trying to restore a production dat file to the development server. I can get as far as adding the path name of the remote file (e.g. serverd$directoryfilename), but I can`t seem to enable the "Restore Now" button. The file actually displays in the Devices and Files section, but when I click it, nothing happens.
There happens to be another pre-existing device that does respond to my click - the device is added to the "Backup Information" section of the screen, and the Restore Now button is enabled - but that isn`t really the one I want to restore from.
I am trying to restore master to a new server but location of data and log files is different in this new server. The previous location was 'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdata" the current location is in the C: Drive; when trying to restore using MOVE:
RESTORE DATABASE master FROM DISK ='\PfileserversqlbackupMDFfilesmaster_db_20070 8170121.BAK' WITH RECOVERY , MOVE 'master' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Serverdatamaster.mdf', MOVE 'mastlog' TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdatamastlog.ldf'
I get the following error message:
The system database cannot be moved by RESTORE
Is there a way you can restore master to a different location?
SQL Server 2012 running under a domain Managed Service Account. (Server A) File located on a Windows 2012 server in a directory which has been shared to user A. (Server B). User A is a domain account and is using his laptop, (laptop C) which is using SSMS to run a bulk insert command.
User A (Bulk Insert from laptop SSMS Client) --- > SQL Server (server A) --- > File Server (Server B)
The command fails and is returning Access denied to the file/folder share on Server B.
Running the same command on the SQL Server (Server A), the command works fine, so this is a double hop kerberos issue.
If I use a SQL Login from Laptop C, then the command works fine as the SQL Server will use the SQL's Managed service account to connect to the file share, which is set up for delegation and impersonation.
I am struggling to work out why a domain user cannot bulk insert a file from a remote location. I have checked that the user is connected with Kerberos authentication and they are. All articles seem to talk about setting up SPN's for the SQL Server so that SQL Login authentication can work over remote bulk insert, and just say to set up the file share properties properly if using a domain account.
What I am missing to allow domain accounts to bulk insert remotely, from a remote file share?
I have developed on winodws based application using C# in .NET. I am connecting from my database using internet, means my database kept on remote location. I have to save images in DB because I can't save and access images in external folder from remote location. In this situation my DB is growing very fast. Is there any other alternative to work on this requirement or compress image in any format so that I can reduce DB size.
there are several remote locations where sql is running, my company has asked me to find a way to collect all the data from the remote locations to a central location automatically,for example day to day data should be synced at night time from 2am to 7 am and it should be compressed automatically before data transfers to the central location. NOTE there is no domain only standalone workstations
I'm trying to find any useful whitepapers about how to effectively build and operate a disaster recovery site at a remote location for SQL Server 2000. Does anyone know where to find such information?
I also know that one good option for my customer is using the Mirroring feature of SQL Server 2005. What are the other options? Is Replication an effective one for a mission-critical database (online banking)?
Hi all, I have moved hosting companies and am trying to get my website and MSSQL database sorted on the new server. I am using an enterprise type tool and can connect to the database the new hosting company has created on their SQL server with no problem. I now want to upload the data I had in the database previously. All I have to do this from is .BAK and .TRN files on my local hard drive. Using the restore option from the menu, I tried to select the .BAK file I have saved to restore from it, and got the following error:
"EXECUTE permission denied on object 'xp_availablemedia', database 'master', owner 'dbo'."
I also tried the advice given in this post as the problem seems similar and follows the same pattern: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=40841
but there are loads of users listed for sp_who - it seems to be the users for all the databases on the host's server so I didn't follow the next step to disconnect them!
Any advice as to what I need to do would be much appreciated.
if you can restore a database to Server B using Server A as the service. Meaning we would issue the command on Server A but somehow point to Server B as where we want the restore to happen.
The backup file would be in a location independent of both servers.
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.
- When I disable "allow remote connections to this server" from server properties>connection page, I can still remotely connect to the server from SSMS...so what is the impact of enable/disabling it?
- what is the impact of changing the remote query timeout (on the same page) from default value?
Fellow Devs, I have an instance of SQL Server Express 2005 running on another box and I have Remote Connections enabled over both TCP/IP and Named Pipes, but on my other box I keep getting the error that the server does not accept Remote Connections. Any ideas why this might be happening? Is there some other configuration?
HiI'm going insane.I have a club starter kit on my local server which is working fine.I have migrated the database to my remote host and seems to have transfered ok.For a brief period I was able to connect to the database remotely, but now I cannot I get the following, even though SQL Server Surface Area Config is set to accept remote connections.An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.)This is my connection string;<add name="ClubSiteDB" connectionString="Data Source=xx.xxx.xx.xx,xxxx; Network Library=DBMSSOCN; Initial Catalog=tets; User ID=sqladminbob;Password=sqlbob4398;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient="/>I hav also tried to use aspnet_regsql.exe to add the remote provider but I get the same message. Thanks
I am trying to add a linked server from a AMD x64 server (Windows 2003) with SQL Server 2005 64 bit to a Server running SQL 2000. These are not in the same domain.
I can create a linked server using the option "Be made using the login's current security context" but can not when trying to specify the security context, i.e. sa and the sa password. When I try I get the following message:
Msg 15185, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addlinkedsrvlogin, Line 98 There is no remote user 'sa' mapped to local user '(null)' from the remote server 'DTS_FSERVER'.
I have several other x64 server that I have no problem creating a linked server and specifying sa and the sa password.
The problem with using "the login's current security context" option is that I get an error when trying to run any Jobs against the linked server. The job fails withe the following error:
Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. Access to the remote server is denied because no login-mapping exists. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7416). The step failed.
I'm sure the two errors are related. Any ideas what is going on?
It is very intersting to find out that when we are backuping a database we are not able to specify a shared folder .Why?Is it because security concern or it is idenfied as bug or is there any work around.Only thing we are able to specify is that it points to the local drive of the particular server. Help would be more appericated.
Does anyone know where a good article pertaining to where you should locate your Data and Log files (in SQL Server 2005)? I read an article several years ago stating that Log files should be on a seperate RAID 1 and Data on a seperate RAID 5. Anyway, any help is appreciated.
I am getting this error when i run my aspx project..Server Error in '/' Application.

I'm actually a beginner in SQL Server and I got use to a database called "Cache" where the Data itself is stored separately from the tables (Table definition), and I'm wondering if its the same in SQL Server where the Data is stored in a deferent location then the Table definition, and if so, where it could be stored?
Can someone tell me what the default installation location is for SQL 2000? Is it different for the default instance compared to a named instance? What about the tools? It seems to me I read something about the tools defaulting to the program filesmicrosoft SQL Server directory.
I guess I'm more concerned about each instance and the location of those files. I don't necessarily like the idea of each instance installing to the program files directory, if that's the default.
We have three separate disks for our sql server. Disk c : system Disk d : data Disk e : logs
A couple of months ago our IT manager moved the tempdb database from the c drive to the d and e drives because it had grown to 9Gb and the c drive had run out of space. When I discovered this, I shrank tempdb back to it's specified size of 1.9Gb and now I want to move it back to the c drive because I believe we will see better performance with the system + tempdb together than with the data/logs + tempdb together. Am I correct?
A couple of notes. Server is used exclusively by SQL server. We have three large databases (40Gb, 20Gb, 15Gb), three databases around 4Gb databases and around 15 smaller databases. Most of them are accessed exclusively from a web application.
Easy question, I hope We are setting up an active active sql cluster. The management have done everything the wrong way around and purchased the hardware already.
We are planning on having 2 databases 1 in each instance. We will place the transaction log files for each database on their own cluster "physical disk" resource. We only have 4 disks availalbe for the transaction log files. To make things a little more complicated I have been given no information on the expected transaction use other than they should be no larger than 50GB
Here are my options
1. 2 Mirrored raid arrays one for each sql instance 2. 1 Raid 10 array with 2 logical drives (so the transaction logs are sharing the same disk spindles)
What would you do? seperate the disk spindles or share them and go for fast disk performace.
I hope someone can give me some tips on how to implement a nice solution.
I need a table to store distances between 2 locations.
First thought was to make a table like this - id - fromid - toid - distance
However distances can be used in both directions. So a search to get distance between xx and yy would be: select distance where (fromid = xx and toid = yy) or (fromid=yy and toid=xx)
A unique index (fromid, toid) would make sure no double entries are made, but this still doesn't deny anyone from changing from and to and entering a distance in the other direction (from yy to xx)
Any suggestions for a cleaner db design ? Ideally one where searches don't need the or, or where the db design can restrict people from entering a distance in the other direction ? I could force something in business logic to sort locations alphabetically but that also seems like a dirty trick..
Hi again,I am able to schedule a backup and default it to the server. However, isthere an option or a way to locate the backup somewhere else on the network?regards,gilbert
I have an installation of SQL2005 SP1 configured as follows:
Dell Poweredge 2650 with 4 GB RAM c:, d: and e: are all on the local host and f: and g: drives are on a SAN. I have the system db's on the e: local disk and the Team Foundation Server databases and logfiles on the SAN disks. SQL2005 is installed to the E: disk.
We are migrating VSS to TFS and our times are very long for a simple 1 GB migration.
I need to know if I need the application databases and logfiles and system databases on the same disk because I see a lot of disk thrash and the tempdb is getting large, 3 GB today.
SQL architecture - should the system db's be on the same disk as the application db's?
When the battery dies the SQL Ce installation vanishes. Especially the following dlls which were copied into the Windows directory during installation are getting vanished when the battery dies.
I guess this is because of the fact that RAM content vanishes when the power goes off.
Is there a way i could install the SQL CE in the Storage Card?
I can install the Compact Framework in the Storage Card but not the SQL CE.
I have installed the CF, My application in the Storage Card. Just because of this SQL CE does not allow me to choose the installation directory, i have to install the SQL CE everytime the battery dies out.
How do you know what exactly to use as the database name?
In school the prof says he is not exactly a database programmer but gave us some code he had from an old one. That code worked fine if you want to actually connect to the database at school but I want to send everything right through sqlexpress on my own machine so I can work on the programs at home.
The following is the code to connect to the school database, how would I change it to connect through sqlexpress instead?
