Restoring Database Alongside Existing DB
Apr 17, 2015
I need to recover some data in a table but i'm not 100% sure the right way to do this safely.
I'll need to query the two tables to compare the before and after but how do i go about restoring/attaching the backup database to SQL without causing conflicts?
If I restore, i assume this would just overwrite which is obviously the worst thing that can happen. If i attach the backup, how does this affect the current live DB? how do i make sure that it's not getting accessed and mistaken for the live DB?
The SQL server is 2008 R2 running as a VM.

Hi All,
I would like to restore database using RESTORE DATABASE ... REPLACE command.
If database exists already and has any open connections this command will fail.
I would like to close all existing connections to specific database before running RESTORE DATABASE ... REPLACE command.
I can do closing from Management Studio using checkbox "Close Existing Connection" when deleting database. Actually I need to do the same but from script.
Please advice me how to do it.
Thanks in advance,
Roman

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 have a process that restores a backup from a primary server to a backup server daily. When doing the restore, sometime it fails (for various reasons).
I have coded a job to Set offline, set online, an then do the restore:
RESTORE DATABASE [xxx] FROM DISK = N'D:Backup Stagingxxx.bak' WITH FILE = 1, NOUNLOAD, REPLACE, STATS = 10
Sometimes it fails to bring back online, other errors as well. Is there a reliable method of doing this?

It may sound like crazy question, But just curious to know if any one tested this scenario.
I was restoring an existing database from a backup. While the restore is in progress, I found i was restoring with old back, then I canceled the operation.
Now Will it restore the partial data or it rolls back the entire transaction and brings back to original status or it will currupt the database??

I am using MS SQL 2005 Express. I have a database with two filegroups, the PRIMARY default filegroup, and then filegroup X. I have a backup of the PRIMARY filegroup only, and am trying to restore it to my database. When I select the .bak file to restore from, I am NOT given any 'backup sets to restore' - I therefore cannot select the filegroup to restore it. Can anyone advise? (NOTE - I have backed up the transaction log on the database I am restoring to already)
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 have VS2008 installed which has installed SQLEXPRESS. But it seems not all of it.
I want to be able to create tables and generally mess about with SQLEXPRESS without VS2008, is it safe to install Sql Express from this site that will hopefully? install all the management tools? Will this action compromise the VS2008 installation? Will I need to uninstall all the SQL Server stuff that is currently installed?
I am a complete noob when it comes to SQL Express having done all my SQL using Access.
Many thanks

I have a client that has a SQL 2000 Standard installation. They are keen to start using Reporting Services. I know I could just install 2000 Reporting Services, but I am the one who will be creating the reports, and I'm really not geared up to develop 2000 reports. I could install the development environment, but would rather not if it is avoidable.
What I was thinking of doing, is installing SQL Express with Advanced Services on the same server that SQL 2000 is currently installed on. I could then use it's Reporting Services. The date would of course be sitting in the existing 2000 databases.
Is this viable/recommended?
The client will eventually upgrade to 2005, but more in the 6-12 month time-frame.
I think I should be able to administer it from here - I have remote connectivity into their server.
Regards,
Tim

I have a problem installing BIDS. On a XP machine with Visual Studio 2003 and Visual Studio 2008 installed, i tried to install SQL Server 2005 DE with SSIS and Client Tools. All works fine, but the devenv.exe where BIDS start menu shortcut points to doesnt exist.
In SQL Server installation dialog, i tried uninstalling BIDS (168 MB disk space will get free'd...) then again installing BIDS (...needs 168 MB disk space...), a lot of harddisk activity, but all the same.
I searched for devenv.exe on drive c:, only two hits: The VS2003 and VS2008 files.
I tried uninstalling VS2008, VS2003, .net3.5, .net3.0, .net2.0 and SS2005, then installing SS2005 with BIDS, again BIDS start menu shortcut points to nowhere. No devenv.exe on drive c:
Now i used system recovery to go back to the point before uninstalling all the stuff, so i can do all my work beside BIDS/SSIS, seaching for a solution...
I thought about installing VS2005 prof., but the license is lost because i upgraded to VS2008.
Note: The VS2008 is installed without installing the SQL Server coming along with VS2008.
Any help?

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

Hi guys,
I've been assigned the task of setting up access to our SQL Server 2005 box. A consultant developing for us has accessing to 2 databases and I've set this up fine. It appears however that one of these databases is re-copied over to the server every night to keep data reasonably current.
I'm not interesting in changing this method as I'm not the maintainer (as yet).
Basically I would like to know if I've setup access to this database (it works fine), when the database is updated (with an SSIS package) the account seems to get deleted. Do the original permissions from the source database overwrite those of its destination?
Cheers

I am new to sql and my boss want me to write the program for database and he wants to pull the info from existing table from sql server which is used by Microsoft GP Dynamics and write me code or some kind of front end so when he wants he can pull same data from GP dynamics table and generate some report with other custom table.
How i can do this task? What I have to do in sql so I can use same table to view info in real time so that means if i enter new data in the table it will show up same time in the front end as well.

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

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
