Hi, for SQL 2005 - to set up database mirroring, is it required to have Active Directory installed or to be part of a domain? I am looking to use a workgroup with the SQL machines only and to not reference any domain and cannot find this information - is this possible?
I have a Windows NT group that is used to delegate certain database responsibilities to other members of staff and I am trying to grant permissions for the members of the group to be be able to establish database mirroring sessions, as in run the following:
ALTER DATABASE <database> SET PARTNER = 'tcp://principal_server.domain.com:port';
Although the group has db_owner role membership to the user database which grants the ALTER permission on the database, the following is being generated in the error log when they get to this step on the intended Mirror instance after restoring the database correctly in preperation:
SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 59 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process. * ******************************************************************************* * * BEGIN STACK DUMP: * 10/29/15 11:16:15 spid 59 * * * Exception Address = 00007FF9A6AF838C Module(sqlmin+000000000003838C) * Exception Code = c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION * Access Violation occurred reading address 00000000000000D8 * Input Buffer 210 bytes - * alter database <redacted> set partner = '<redacted>';
As you can see, the statement is denied to the user. There are no issues with the database as I am able to run the same query successfully using my own sysadmin account after the failed attempt. What other minimum permissions the group might need to successfully enable them to setup a mirroring session?
I'm devlving into 2005 and specifically mirroring.Having read the following article (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...5/dbmirror.mspx ),is mirroring a sensible option as it indicates that it should not beused in a production environment, yet the SQL2005 seminars I've been toindicate that this is a worthy option.Do we also need a witness server, or can this be done (sensibly) withtwo SQL2005 servers ?Currently we have 2xSQL2000 (clustered) servers and a SAN for the data.If we go down the route of mirroring, it looks like we can get rid ofthe SAN and Cluster and use the mirroring instead.Any advice on the pro's / cons would be appreciated.ThanksRyan
Can I know is it possible using database mirroring for only certain tables from the database, not for the whole database in sql server 2005. Hopefully able to get any assistance here. Thx alot.
Hello, My question is simply: according to BOL, a DB snapshot taken from a Mirror is read-only. Say I wanted a temporary (disposable) read-write DB created from the snapshot. Is there a way to generate a writable temp DB (that's not tempdb) from the snapshot? Thanks,AK
I get a general question about the feacture "Database Mirroring". Is it support by SQL Server Standard. Edition without SP1?? Of i still need to upgrade the server from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2005 with SP1?
Another question: are there any problem if the one machine(server) has installed SQL server 2005 Standard edition and the other with "Developer Editon".
I hope some one can answer my question. Thanks anyway!
i have a small problem to connect SQL Native ODBC Client to a mirrored Database. The connection goes without any problem when I connect to a primary Database, but when i give this connect string to an ODBC Client ""Server=Partner_A; Failover Partner=Partner_B; Database=XXX; Network=dbmssocn"", then i get an connect fail. There are no firewalls and other things on the network. I am also able to connect to a mirror database during failover, but I'm not able to set both servers on the ODBC Connection.
I am trying to enable database mirroring for 100 database. It goes error free till 59 databases (some times 60 databases) with the status (principal, synchronized) on principal. on the 60th or 61st database it gave the status (principal, disconnected). Also mirror starts acting abnormal. connection to mirror starts to give connection timeout and it is not enabling database mirroring on any more databases. I have SQL SERVER 2005 Enterprise with SP1 on the servers. witness is not included yet.
this are my test servers... i have more than 500 databases on my production servers.
principal and mirror both are using port 5022 for ENDPOINT communication.
I have a download "SQL Server 2005 Evalution Copy". I installed it to 3 machine, 1 - XP Professional (Witness) and 2 - Windows Server 2000 (Principle and Mirror) . And I want to try Database mirroring.
However, after restore the Log into mirror server I try to execute the following statement in Principle Server:
ALTER DATABASE TestDB SET PARTNER=N'TCP://[10.0.200.2]:5022' GO
The above 10.0.200.2 is the mirror server IP address.
it show error message as:
Msg 1416, Level 16, State 31, Line 1 Database "SCMPGroup" is not configured for database mirroring.
In Miorror Server
I execute the statement :
ALTER DATABASE TestDB SET PARTNER=N'TCP://[10.0.200.1]:5022' The above 10.0.200.1 is the principle server IP address.
It shows sucess
ALTER DATABASE TestDB SET WITNESS=N'TCP://[10.0.15.146]:5022'
it show error message as:
Msg 1416, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Database "SCMPGroup" is not configured for database mirroring.
Please help me! I down't know if NT4 domain or evalution copy problem in there.

All of the databases are critical and all must be included in the Database Mirroring. so, after that I tried to implement database mirroring again...... System has 3 GB of RAM, SQL SERVER (Mirror) using 85 MB of RAM but still giving this error while trying to enable database mirroring for 37th Database.....
"There is insufficient system Memory to run this query"
Can someone at Microsoft comment on this article, specifically, how it relates to SQL Replication? Will SQL Replication fall into the category of what this article describes, or only the mirroring feature?
Using SQL Server 2008, we would like propose mirroring between two servers of a critical database. Since we initiate, may require to clarify on its purpose and also required changes from application end.Any changes required from OS Level? (I believe both servers IP or Host name should be added in host entries. Mirroring ports should be allowed/open including Principal and mirror server IP Addresses): Windows Team.Any changes required from Application? (Instance name, authentication: user name and its password should be added in web config files): Application Team.Any changes required from Network Team?Also for mirroring both the principal and mirror servers should be with same version, does it only mean SQL Server 2008 versions are enough or does it also mean to say build numbers 10.00.4000 should also be same.URL....
We have a customer, call them customerA CustomerA has just employed a new Chief Information Officer.
The New CIO would like to make a few changes to the current way we have things right now. Bare with me as I explain our environment.
We have The following Servers
Application Server[FSS (Dual DC Xeon 2.33GHz CPU, 4GB RAM, 3x72GB hdd RAID] Database Server [FSS (Dual DC Xeon 2.33GHz CPU, 4GB RAM, 3x72GB hdd RAID)]
Both the above servers sit in a fully fault tolerant environment with daily backups power generators etc etc etc.1000MB network everything work 100%
Now my question:
The new CIO would like to move the DB server out of this environment to a remote building downtown, and have the application server connect to this remote db server. Is this advisable? What are the required connection speeds, so that the end user does not have to wait for a response? What is the recommended response time IIS should give?
Please also note that we are in South Africa and broadband is VERY expensive / unreliable.
The CIO would like to install a 2Mbit radio link from this building to the ISP I’m not sure on the cost, but do know that this type of link is very unstable, Their failover will be a 512kb fixed line or diginet line. Cost about ZAR 8000.00 per month
The application is extremely data / graphs intensive as it contain property information. I think they average about 16000 visitors daily, not a lot.
If anyone can give me any input i would appreciated.
I have just finished configuring my first test mirrored environment (High safety mode). I setup the database engine service accounts on each of the servers with domainuser. I inherited a production mirrored environment set up by someone else. On the production servers the database engine service account is NT Authorityuser a local account. I am trying to practice installing Windows updates within a mirrored environment and I not sure how to proceed when the service account is NT Authority user account. should I change the service account to a domainuser?
ALTER DATABASE foo set PARTNER = 'TCP://10.3.3.1:1234' I get this error message:
The database is being closed before database mirroring is fully initialized. The ALTER DATABASE command failed. What does that mean, and how do I fix it?
For example if I have a winform with a textbox and search button. If I type in ABCD1234. I won't know what the data is coming into the X Table. So there will be hundreds of description data in the description field in X table.
So in the X Table, there are ABCD1234,ABCD_1234,ABCD/1234,ABCD 1234
But I will only pick this 'ABCD1234' record up, and the rest won't be picked. They are variations of the same description. It needs to pick also ABCD_1234,ABCD/1234,ABCD 1234
If also type in 5678, in another column like code in X Table. It would have 005678,05678,56780. But I will only pick this '5678' record up, and the rest won't be picked. They are variations of the same code. It needs to pick also 005678,05678,56780
I have tried LIKE, FREETEXT and CONTAINS.
But another idea is a table of alternate descriptions for those that you know about and look those up and search for them all. But how can that be done?
I thought it was but I just now installed it on a box without IIS. I gather IIS is not a requried component. I noticed only Reporting Services Requires it so I am hoping that installing IIS and then add Reporting Services Component later will not cause configuration problems.
Hi I am working on a community site that pretty much works like anyother community site like orkut or myspace..I have few doubts for which i badly need your help.. if you can point me to some usefully links, articles, pdf or your suggestions..i will surely be obiliged.

My problem.. database design though i am planning ot user MS SQLSERVER 2005 ,, i have not finalised yet.. I want to make up my mind on how to structure the database..also,,if you have seen Orkut.com when you visit a cirten persons profile it shows (trhu a breadcrum like view) how you are connected.. ie.. thru what friend of yours you are connected... I want to know ,,what kind of mapping is used here... how can i achive that without sacrifising performance,, coz surely thease kind of applications are to be build for VERY LARGE USER BASE.... Please suggest ....I am fighting my war alone..but i am determind.. you can help though. :)

I was in the phase of switching over to Sql Server Reporting from the normal reports. I plan to go with the SQL server 2005 standard version. Do i need visual studio 2005 to design and deploy report. If I am using only SQL server standard alone for my reporting and publishing, is it possible to assign the user rights to reports, user can just login and can view all the reports that belongs to that user. Since I wont be using the visual Studio 2005, so I want to implement this using the SQL server 2005. So pls help me with your kind information how to proceed ahead.
Hi I have to import data from a number of excel files to corresponding tables in SQL 2005. The excel files are created using excel 4.0. I have created an excel connection manager and provided it with the path of the excel sheet.Next i have added an excel source from the toolbox to the dataflow. I have set the connection manger, data access mode, and the name of the excel sheet (the wizard detects the sheet correctly) in the dialog window i get when i double click the excel source. Every thing goes fine till here. Now when i select the 'columns' in this dialog window or the preview button, i get this error TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio------------------------------Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [1]]: Opening a rowset for "test4$" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)------------------------------ Any ideas about why is this happening??? Umer
I am trying mirroring in my own laptop in 2 different instances of 2005 but when i configure it gives me an error "one or more of the server network addresses lacks a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). Specify the FQDN for each server, and click start mirroring again"
does anyone know what is the problem???? i read one post but could not understand properly.
Hi everyone, I have a project on my hand in which i need to implement two SQL 2005 servers And configure it as DB mirroring. I know that for the sake of 'fail over' I need to configure a witness server as well.
My question is: For the purpose of the mirror server and the principle server - what are the software requirements (enterprise, standard?) For the purpose of the witness server - what are the software requirements (enterprise, standard, express?) Should the witness server be a 'server' in terms of hardware...or is it enough to establish a strong pc machine?
