Retreiving TranLog Filenames From Windows Directory
Jan 24, 2006
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have to restore a full database backup from October 1, 2005 and then over 4400 transaction logs to bring a database up to Jan 01, 2006 on a development server (storage team lost all daily full backups from 10/02/2005 to 01/01/2006).
Since the backups were not taken on this machine originally, the information I would pull from the sysjobhistory tables to get the transaction backup names is not available.
Does anyone have a link or a script to pull the filenames from the backup directory into sql server so I can build a dynamic script to apply the tran logs instead of running all 4400+ of them by hand?
Thanks,
Tom

Current: One common SQL login is being used by SQL DBA on all the servers
New Plan: Creating one windows AD group, adding the DBA's to that group and create as a login with sysadmin server access on all the SQL Server boxes
how to achieve this activity. Creating SQL login is fine but how to change the ownership of various objects, jobs to new login on all servers?

I have 2 questions, and I appreciate if somebody can help me to figure out the good way to do. Thanks a lot.
1/. If I want to restore tranlog backup file from linked server to SQL Server 2000, Is the database online or offline during that time (since I want to make sure db online for users, but not offline)
2/. Can I restore tranlog backup file from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 database?

Has anyone used this successfully from an OLEDB source component, or even from the Execute SQL Task? I've seen some examples of using a script component, but nothing that uses it through a connection manager.

Pros,
I would like to change the logical filenames for a database on my test server. I know this is done with ALTER DATABASE, but I'm not sure of the exact syntax. Can anyone help?

I'm using SQL2005 and need to script a bunch of Tables (and possibly other objects) to files. I can't make one big file with all the objects in it. I need to create an indiviual file for each object and each filename needs to be something like dbo.objectname.sql. I will be checking each file (object script) into VSS. Can someone tell me how to do this withouth having to manually generate a script for each object? Is there a way to check each object you want scripted and the SSMS spit out a file per object?
Thanks

I was wondering if it is possible to create a variable that holds the filename as an expression. I am using a For each loop to pick up files and i want to insert the 'Filename' as a colum in to the destination Table so that i can differentiate among the rows in my destination Table.
Using the 'Derived Colum' in DTS I can link the colum to a variable. However i do not know how to create the variable which will dynamically store the filename for each file....
Any Clues...
Would really appreciate the help.....
Or is anyone knows any other simple way of inserting the filename as a column in the destination Table ...Been stuck on this for a while...

Hi all,
I want to find the list of filenames associated with the SQL server instance programmatically. As VDI is concerned with taking backup of SQL server. Can we find the list of filenames associated with a DB using VDI ? or Is there any other way to know filenames?
Thanks in Advance,

I’m working on building a file list from a directory I have and wish to loop through the filenames. I’ve worked out I can get the list using
EXEC
xp_dirtree @path, 10, 1
I’m just not sure out I pass this to my loop 1 element at a time.
E.g. Let’s say there are 10 files in my folder, I wish to loop through each name using my @Filename parameter
DECLARE @Path
varchar(50), @FileName
varchar(20)
SET @Path
= 'C:myFiles'
EXEC
xp_dirtree @path, 10, 1
[Code] ....

A database was set up as a test database and then the database name changed but the logical and physical filenames still have test in their name - obviously not a good idea. I have tried to change the physical file name but get the error message that the physical file name cannot be changed once the database has been created. I have also tried detaching the database and renaming the mdf and ldf files but these could not be re-attached so had to revert back to the original names.

I am trying to break apart a list of filenames that was inserted into a database. It only breaks out the first one then moves onto the next record. If I do them individually then seem to work but not the whole table when queried. I need to break out each file into a temp table then insert them into a documents field in a database.
my filenames look like so and can have from 1 file name to 10 file names in the string.
test.pdf,test2.pdf,test4.tif,test5.pdf
somedoc.tif,test.docx,test4.pdf
This is my current method, I needed to create a cursor around it to go through all the records, split out the filenames and insert into a temp table. But if there is a better way ill do it. The problem with this is only the first file is getting inserted into the temp table and nothing else even if the filename has 4 files in it.
Create table #tempFiles (OldStrId int, OldPercent int, strfilename varchar(max), RequestId int, OblId int)
declare @OldStr int, @OldPer int, @FileName varchar(max), @intcount int;
Declare filenames CURSOR FOR Select intSTRBonusID, intPercentID, strFileName from tblSTR where strFileName > ''
UNION ALL
Select intSTRBonusID, intPercentID, strFileName from tblSTRHist where intPercentID in (61,62) and strFileName > ''
[code]....

SQL question here:
I am setting up a blog, and I would like the data list to default to the most recent post ONLY. How would I define the filter to get the most recent post?
I have a publishing date in my table, and I can sort the post, but I have no clue how to select just one row to display.
I can get it to work by adding a dropdown list the is bound to the publishing date column, then retreving the post based on the control, but I don't want to use the control. (Making the control not visible is not an option.

It's very easy to make a generic xml configuration file for the connection to the database for all packages my project contains. The connectionstring is the same for all these packages
Now I want to do the same for all flat file sources I have in my project where the connectionstring is not the same for all packages.
For example I use the following flat files in my project:
c:AAA.txt
c:BBB.txt
c:CCC.txt
If I move the packages to the production database the flat file sources are located in another directory.
So in fact for the flat file sources there is a generic part for all files (in this case 'c: ') and a specific part ('AAA.txt', 'BBB.txt' and 'CCC.txt').
Can I indicate this in the package configurations sections? And how?
Thanks,
John

Hello:
I have an app that needs to retrieve the list of tables in an SQL database. I see that there is a way to do this with the OLEdb provider (GetOleDbSchemaTable() ), but I can't find a sibling method in SQL. IS there one/ Any Ideas?

I am storing images within and image field in sql, however when I go to get the data I have two issues.
the first issue is that my image is linked to information on another table but the only way that i have seen getting the image back is to do a:
response.binarywrite(mydatareader.item("image"))
but i am hoping to be able to find a way to use the template functionality with datagrid to align the picture with the information on the table. i am storing the image type and size with the image as well.
the second problem might be related to the load, i am not sure. sometimes, for some images and it just shows the frame of the image with the red x in the middle. The load appears to work (no errors) but since we cannot view them properly we dont know.
Our application wants to store all data in sql so that we can secure it and relate it to projects. in addition, we hope to be able to use this function to upload all sorts of binary documents from jpg, gif, doc, xls, visio, and others as we can. any issues with that process???
we would like to be able to display them directly in the browser where we can but all users have standard office.
any suggestions on either and hopefully both of these situations? we have sort of hit a brick wall.

hi. I am at a new stage in our project and need to figure out how to insert/retreive MP3/Wav files. The way we want to do this is have the file stored on the harddrive while a link to its location is stored in the database.
I have posted this search in other newsgroups and have gotten a lot of philosophical responses, but what i really am looking for is code examples. Please, what i would like to see is "how" this id done in code. If you have done this on your site, i'd really appreciate your posting code here or emailing me examples. Or, if you know of a really good explainaition of how to go about storing/retreiving audio files in the way i mentioned using MS SQL Sever 2000, I'd be equally indebted.
I hope I have explained myself clearly. Thank you for your assistance!
have a peaceful day.

Last week I discovered a server runing a sql database for a vendor application. Last year sometime one of our former employees created a dts to populate some data in peoplesoft from this database. But, over this last weekend, the vendor came in and uninstalled and reinstalled sql server and only restored their specific database. All I have is backups of msdb and master and I'm not sure how to restore our dts package. Any clues would be appreciated.

DROP TABLE #Tbl_Project,#Tbl_User_Project
This is just sample of the values. The ratio obtained should be as follows:
Assuming for a Project 1 there are 2 - PM's , 6-TL's , 15 - TM's then the ratio should be 1:3:7.5 . So please help me in this regard.

hello dudes. i've got the following table:
table name: assassins
fields:
assassinid int, identity, primary key
assassinname nvarchar
assassincallsign nvarchar
knifekills int
sniperkills int
stealthkills int
fibergarotekills int
sample data:

2, Chuck Liddell, iceman, 30, 0, 0, 2
3, Timothy Oliphant, FortySeven, 100, 20, 150, 30
supposed i want to retreive only those records whose type of kills is on a given list, how do i do that? the list is actually dynamic since the kill types is actually coming from a checkbox on my page:
[] Knife Kills
[] Sniper Kills
[] Stealth Kills
[] Fibergarrote Kills
supposed i will only check Knife Kills, it will only retreive those records whose knifekills > 0
or if i check Snipers Kills and Stealth Kills, then those records whose sniperkills and stealthkills is > 0.
any of you know how to do that?

Is there any way by which sqldmo can return all 64 bit sql server instance when called from a 32 bit Application?

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to retreive connection strings from the machine.config instead of storing the conn strings in a *.dtsconfig file. The reason that I'm trying to use the machine.config is for the simple reason that I'll be able to manage all of the conn strings in one location on each server. (Instead of mutliple dtsconfig files.) Is it posible to utilize the machine.config in SSIS? If so, could someone explain how, or better yet, have an example?
thanks for the help!

Hi all,
Could someone tell me how to get the data from all tables of the database in the form of insert script? We are moving our databse from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. The scripts for the Database, Tables, Views , Procedures, Functions have been obtained and it is only the data that is remaining. Some are small tables with 5 to 6 columns but there are some with 50 odd columns. A friend of mine told me about a procedure that returns a dataset with INSERT statements by passing a table name as a parameter. Such procedure would be of great help.
Thank you

If you have problems shrinking a transaction log no matter what commands you issue, here's a way to shrink the tranlog:
1. Right click on the properties of the database and go to the options tab.
2. Change the recovery mode to simple.
3. Right click again on the database - go to all tasks - shrink database.
4. Shrink the database.
5. Change the recovery mode back to what you had it as.
I found this out by trial and error as I could not find any documentation on it and no matter what I tried, I could not get the transaction log to shrink.
