Rolling Back Sql 2000 To A Point In Time
Aug 9, 2005
I would appreciate a bit of advice here. There is a largish complaint here regarding a cutomer who has entered data in 1 of our online forms, but we suspect this was then overwritten by a cached form she also had open.
Anyway to cut a long story short i need to roll back the database to a point in time.
Not something i have ever had to do.
The row where the id field is equal to 3352, and this would have been written to the database at 14:58:36 on 08-aug-2005. This was over written by the data in row with id 3380 at about 11am this morning, now is this is a live database on a webserver so i cant compromise its uptime as it get written to about 3 times a minute, so how should i go about this?
Anyway, what do you think?
Cheers

We have installed SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 recently and have had various issues with some of our Stored Procedures. (which we didn't have with SP 3)
We are looking at our options regarding rolling back to Service Pack 3.
Can this be done ?
&
If so, is there a method documented on how to do this ?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Does anybody know of a way to rollback SQL Server 2005
databases back to SQL Server 2000? Is there a way of doing it without
resorting to Copy Database Wizard? I love to find a way of attaching a SS 2005 database
to a SS 2000 instance without any issues.
I recently upgraded to SS 2005 and I am very unhappy with the SS 2005 and I
want to rollback to SS 2000, which was a lot more stable. I am having
several major issues that are affecting my whole company's day-to-day
operations and the managers are not happy. Some of the issues include
night time batch running very sluggish for no apparent reason. This is a
biggest problem because it only occurs once or so a week and causes a disturbance
with the daily activities when the night time processing isn€™t completed on
time. The rest of the time, the batch processing runs great, even a little better then on SS 2000. I
don't believe it is a matter of my application needing to be retuned because if
that was the case, then why isn't it running sluggish every night? Also,
it's never the same day that the sluggish behavior occurs. If it was occurring
on the same night, then I would have something to investigate within our
application, but it doesn't. Another issue that I am having involves a
night time job that restores a copy of the production database to the Data
Warehouse server to be used for updating the data warehouse. Again, most
of the time it runs great (~2 1/2 hours), but once or twice a week, it goes
stupid and takes 6 1/2 hours for no apparent reason. Again, it is not happening
the same day either, which could give me something to invesigate. On SS 2000, this same job ran flawlessly. Never I did I run into situation that the
database restoration took that long to run. Even another issue involves a SQL Server Agent Job that was put into suspended
state. What's a suspended state and how can I get it out of suspended
state? I can find no information about suspended state in BOL. I
did a Google and nothing came up. If this suspended state was put
in for security reasons, great, but then tell me how I can remove the suspended
state. I am also not happy with the
fact that I can't get accurate information about the queries that are actively
running at that particular moment. In SS 2000, when I noticed high CPU
usage on the server, I would run the sp_who2 active stored proc and it would
show me all the active thread and how much CPU it was consuming. I would
then find the running threads with the highest CPU numbers and investigate the
query and see if we could improve it. Now in SS 2005, I get in the same
situation and run the sp_who2 stored proc, and there is no smoking gun.
All of the active threads are showing very little CPU usage, which I am very
suspect of. What the heck happen to sp_who2? I looked at some of
the other ways of looking at running processes (i.e... sys.sysprocesses) and
they don't appear to be giving the information that I need.
I am very unhappy and I just want to roll back to SS 2000 and wait a couple of
years before I upgrade to SS 2005.

If I want to return to a point in time for all my databases in SQL 2000 can I just copy all the files in the data directory to a safe place. And then when I want to go back to that point in time, just copy them all back?

hi. i am managing a sql server 2000 database. for some reason, a table got dropped from the database--why i don't know; i'll worry about that later. is there a way to "rollback" the database to a point in time...say like 5 minutes ago? I have taken the database offline for the moment so no more changes can take place. i have never done this before and i would really appreciate some advice/online tutorials/help on this matter. i do have a full backup of the database because of nightly backups. any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks!

I have created a DTS Package that does the following:
1 Delete all data from table 1 (SQL Task)
2 Import Data from .csv file into table 1 (Data import)
3 insert records from table 1 into table 2 when they dont exist in table 2 (SQl Task)
This all works fine, but now i want a rollback function in step 1 and 2.
So when Step 1 is finished and something goes wrong i want the deleted data back.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks in advance.

I want to insure that each of my insert statements in a stored proc are rolled back if any of the inserts fail. I already have the below statement with error handling but is this correct?

Hi,
I have a case where I read from SQL Server DB and write to a flat file.
I have one Data Flow Task inside which I have a OLEDB source component that feeds rows to a script component that writes to a flat file. I have set the txn attributes for the container to "Required" and "Read committed" . But I find that rows are written to flat file even when I throw an exception from my script component. Question is how do I prevent rows from being written to the flat file if error/exception happens. I want the whole process to be in a single transaction.
Thanks

Don't know if this is possible or not:
Goal: set security on running specific stored procedures based upon user login and databse access
I have some DBA's who want to retain full control of databses / stored procedures as they now have but I want to restrict or rollback some of the changes that were implemented when the sql 2005 was set up. The sql 2005 EE is in a clustered system and uses Mixed Mode Authentication.
An example of what I want to restrict: The DBA's want to be able to view and kill processes for the different databases that are installed under their instance. The problem is other customer databases are also under the same instance.
Is their a way I can combine or have the stored procedure sp_lock only show the processes for the databases they have access to based upon their login? My concern is they will kill a process and affect the other customers.
Thanks for any info or pointers.

hi,
i want to create a disaster recovery site, to which i can fail over (not automatically),
and also to have the option to return the database to a point in time?
for example,
if my principal server fails in 17:00,
i want to have the option to make the mirror server available for users from 17:00 (or at least close to that time),
and also to be able the return to the data from 16:00 (in the mirror site).
Is it possible, and what is the best way to do it?
Thanks.

I have a Development database and I want to roll it back to Monday morning. I backed up the database and used the command:
RESTORE DATABASE ITTEST
FROM ITTEST20040203
WITH NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE LOG MyNwind
FROM ITTEST20040203
WITH RECOVERY, STOPAT = 'FEBRUARY 2, 2004 09:00 AM'
GO
The transaction logs have never been truncated.
But it does not seem to have worked. It this the best way to do a roll back the database or have I missed out something.

Hello all,
First off, I appreciate the time that those of you reading and responding to this request are offering. My quesiton is a theoretical and hopefully simple one, and yet I have been unable to find an answer to it on other searches or sources.
Here's the situation. I am working with SQL Server 2005 on a Windows Server 2003 machine. I have a series of databases, all of which are in Full recovery mode, using a backup device for the full database backups and a separate device for the log backups. The full backups are run every four days during non-business hours. The log backups are run every half hour.
Last week, one of my coworkers found that some rarely-used data was unavailable, and wanted to restore a database to a point in time where the data was available. He told me that point in time was some time back in November.
To accomplish this, I restored the database (in a separate database, as to not overwrite my production database) using the Point in Time Recovery option. I selected November from the "To a point in time" window (I should note that this window is always grey, never white like most active windows, it seems), and the full database backup and the subsequent logs all became available in the "Select the backup sets to restore" window.
I then tried a bevy of different options from the "Options" screen. However, every restore succeeds (ie: it doesn't error out), but seems to be bringing the database back to a current point in time. It's never actually going back to the point in time I specify.
My questions are as follows:
a) Is it possible to do a point in time recovery to a point in time BEFORE the last full database backup?
b) If so, what options would you recommend I use? (ie: "Overwrite the existing database", restore with recovery, etc etc).
I again appreciate any and all advice I receive, and I look forward to hearing from anyone and everyone on this topic. Thank you.
Ryan

I have a page that runs a transaction correctly after a button click.
I want to allow someone to click a button that rolls back the transaction, after the transaction runs on the first button click.
I can also successfully roll back within the first button click.
I'm getting a NullReference error when trying to access SqlTransaction.Rollback() outside the button click.
If SqlTransaction.Commit() completes without error can SqlTransaction.Rollback() be called after?
I tried making 'trans' a more global variable and it still gave me the error.
Button Click 1:
Dim trans As SqlTransaction
trans = connection.BeginTransaction()
try
'run SQL Statement
trans.Commit()
Catch e As Exception
trans.Rollback()
throw e
end try
Button Click 2:
trans.Rollback()

I have a quick question.
I need to execute some stored procedures in certain steps... all performing some inserts/updates
What i need is, a mechanism, by which i can roll back to the previous state if i encounter an exception (either in the app or SP)
so, if the my first two SP execute fine, perform their functionality like insert/update, and the third one fails...
how can i roll back to the initial state in ASP.NET.
would appreciate any info.
or redirection to the the location where i can look up some info on that.

We have a high volume database with 1000's of users and 1000's of procs. Our application enforces a 20 second timeout on all connections.
We can't adjust the 20 seconds - this is a business rule.
It sometimes happens that a proc does not complete within 20 seconds and then times out halfway though. This causes data inconsistency where 50% of the code was saved to the DB and 50% was not - seeing that a stored proc is not transactional and therefor does not roll back the code.
We can't put the code in a TRANSACTION in order to roll back when a time out occurs, because this causes exclusive locks on the tables.
So I guess my question is:
Is it possible to undo/rollback all the code in a proc when a timeout occurs - without using a TRANSACTION? And if a TRANSACTION is the only way - how do I avoid the exclusive lock and blocks?

I need to provide a minimum value over a 12 hour time range of data. I'm struggling with performance issues due to the amount of data. Currently I log about 100 devices reporting once per minute into a table. Also about once per minute I need to pull the minimum value reported for each device in the last 12 hours. Currently I'm maintaining a separate table with entries for just the last 12 hours and just performing a Select Min(Temp) Where DeviceID=x, but it already holds about 700,000 records at any given time. The number of devices will increase substantially and this will no longer be viable.
Sample Table
ID DeviceID Temp InsertDate
1 10 55 04-28-2015 8:00 AM
2 65 74 04-28-2015 8:00 AM

I've been able to find plenty of info online in relation to calculating moving averages for a given value. I am having a specific problem however.
So because I need to see the average on a daily basis, my forumla (below) works fine:
However, my Calendar dimension (TIME) also has a discreet, non-continuous attribute called DateMonth (which looks like 1-Jan, 2-Jan etc.) which has no reference to the year.
I was hoping this would allow me then to take my year attribute and compare the 28 Day Average for the 1st of Jan across multiple years.
So you could have a line chart where the X axis is 1-Jan to 31-Dec (with no reference to the year) and the series category is by year, so a line for each year.
But when I replace DATE with DateMonth in my pivot, the calc gives some strange numbers.
Rolling28DayAvg :=
CALCULATEÂ (
    [Revenue],
    DATESINPERIOD (
        TIME[DATE],
        LASTDATE ( TIME[DATE] ),
        -28,
        DAY
    )
)
    / 28

I do understand the theory behind the steps I just do not know how to accomplish them!If you know of a well-documented tutorial, please point me in the right direction.Regards.

12:03 delete any rows

Hi, I am pretty new to Analysis Services and I have come across a small problem to do with point in time balances, I guess that this is similar shiver72's post titled 'Date Range Problem'. I am not really after a solution as such (although that would be great :-), more interested in a pointer to some resource(s) which I can read up on myself.
Here is the scenario:
A student enrols into a course that has a start and finish date. This enrolment has a certain value based upon its length, the course type etc which means that each
enrolment's 'value' can vary at any time between the start and finish dates.
For example a student may enrol in a full year basket weaving course with a value of 0.0500, they then enrol in a part year course titled 'Dimensional Modelling 101' with a value of 1.000
...and their enrolments would look like this...
01-JAN-2005 31-DEC-2005 0.0500
02-JAN-2005 15-JUN-2005 1.0000
The client wishes to know at any point in time the 'value' of their enrolments. These values can vary due to a student starting or finishing their enrolment, withdrawing, having their
enrolment suspended etc, etc
Now, in the Data Warehouse Toolkit it mentions point in time balances in the 'Financial Services' section but it uses SQL to prove the point which is no use to me because I am using MS Analysis Services to dynamically create the result.
As it says in the book its no use creating a row in the fact table to represent the value for each day that the enrolment is in effect because with 400,000 enrolments that works out to over 140 million rows. The alternative is to create one row for each occurence of the variation in the value of the enrolment and then the facts would be completely additive and useful.
I would be looking at using something similar to the following:
fact table
----------
fkdate
value
fksudent
fkcourse
<possibly some degenerate measure like the UID of the course enrolment held in the source system>
dimensions
----------
Student - and of course a whole heap of related dimensions like gender, age, ethnicity etc
Course
For example given the above information the fact table would look like this:
(Student UID is 2005123, course UIDs are 1000 and 1001)
20050101 0.0500 2005123 1000
20050102 1.0000 2005123 1001
20050615 -1.0000 2005123 1001
20051231 -0.0500 2005123 1000
That way I can run a query at, say 15-JUN-2005 and sum the values and it will come out with the correct balance - and yes I know that this idea is straight out of the book :-)
OK, if you've read to this point then I take it that you are an extremely patient person and therefore will forgive my next question.
My question is this, my clients use simple tools like Excel pivot tables to gouge the information they want out of the warehouse, sure, I can write an MDX query to get a point in time balance (just as soon as I learn a bit more about it) but is there _any_ way/means/algorithm/trick/way to hold your head to one side, that I can use so that they can still just 'drag and drop' using the pivot table service as opposed to having to me having to create an MDX-based report for them ?
