SQL 2005 - Why Do Databases Suddenly Think They Are Replicated?
Nov 10, 2007
Hello All
I hope somebody can help. This is the second time I've seen this issue. The first time I thought it was a one off, but now I'm getting concerned.
I have two clients - one had Merge replication set up on a database that had a log log file that just grew and grew. The database was set to SIMPLE recovery. I could understand the log file growing if it was set up for transactional replication, but it wasn't transactional, just merge. Looking in sys.databasese the log_reuse column was set to REPLICATION.
I ran the sp_repldone stored proc on this database and all was well - I could shrink the log file down to a reasonable size. This server was SQL Server 2005, Service Pack 2.
Now I have yet another client who has a growing transaction log file. Low and behold the log_reuse for the database is set to REPLICATION again. This server has never had any type of replication set up at all!!!! The log file is still growing and DBCC OPENTRAN indicates undistributed transcations. This particular server is SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 1.
Can someone PLEASE shed some light on what's going on here? Is there some kind of bug that I don't know about? Searching Goolgle Groups seems to indicate that other people have had this problem, and they have have to set up replication and run sp_repldone to resolve it, but that's surely uncalled for on a database that has never seen replication?
I am planning on upgrading one of my SQL 7 servers to SQL 2000. This server is currently and will continue to replicate with a SQL 7 server.
I want to view our current replication jobs & schedules in plan text so I can check when I recreate the replication that I haven't missed anything. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Any advice that can be offered on this subject would be much appreciated.
We are debating whether to backup/restore the replicated databases or simply copy the mdf and ldf files accross and Attach them. The question is whether the replication information is retained for the publshed objects when the files are copied across? Alernatively, must we use backup/restore with KEEP_REPLICATION set for the restore?
We also plan to back up and restore the distribution, publication, master, msdb etc databases as well as rename the SQL Server to have the same name as the original.
Do these things need to happen in any particular order?
Does the timing of the renaming of the SQL Server matter?
At least some of the these operations (restoring the master database and renaming the SQL Server) need to be done in single user mode. Is is best to restore all the system databases in single user mode?
Lastly, is it necsssary (from a SQL Server point of viewpoint) to rename the computer to have the same name as the SQL Server?
I am in process to migrate some replicated SQL 2008 databases to SQL 2012. I haven't migrated the replicated/mirrored databases yet however I have migrated some clean databases just having SSIS. This time I am tasked to migrate replicated one. providing the detail steps to follow to migrate such databases?
We have had Merge Replication working for the past few months (SQL 2005 to SQL Mobile) and suddenly today the replication URL that points to the SqlCESA30.DLL does not work. I have tried re-running the SQL Mobile virtual folder wizard a few times....resetting IIS and even a re-boot...and still the URL is not available.
Is there anything that might provide some clue as to why this has unexpectedly failed?
Hi - I hope some of you can help me with this problem.
I'm trying to run the snapshot agent for 77 published tables, but the agent stops suddenly uninterrupted. It stops in the middle of taking a snapshot of a table containing 81,719,531 rows. The error message is pasted below.

Does anyone know what is causing this error and how I can possibly solve it?
I'm trying to get my first replication going, and I have set up a database successfully, along with merge replication, however when I attempt to create the first subscriber, I get a permissions issue, regardless of what I do. In the SQLCESA30.LOG file, I get the following entries:

I just restored my SQL server 2000 database on the SQL server 2005. after this i ran the Service broker sample ("Hello World") on this database by changing the AdventureWorks name to the new database name. The "setup.sql" runs fine. When i run the "SendMessage.sql" i was not getting any rows in the output (The message was not getting inserted into the queue). I checked the Service broker is enabled on this databased using the query "select is_broker_enabled from sys.databases where name = 'newdbname' " It was 1. I even tried the ALTER DATABASE SET ENABLE_BROKER. but it didnt work.
When i tried the sample on a newly created database it worked fine.
Is there any solution to make the restored database to work for service broker.
I'm running SQL Server Express 2005 on Windows XP.
I've been using SQL Server Express for the past month or so, and I've always been able to connect. Now all of a sudden I can't connect, it's giving me error 26.
I've always used Windows authentication with no need for a password.
I've been building a simple test application and things have been working all day. Suddenly, about a half an hour ago - I started getting this error every time I attempt to go to the main web page: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) I have no idea what changed... Can someone help me figure this out please? Thanks!~A~
I've had this connection used for months and months. The setupQL Express + VS2008. In that particular app I use only one DB Connection but there are about 10 other Sql Server Dbs that I connect to in other apps.
I am still in a development stage.
Today I've decided to connect also via the Server Explorer in VS2008. All connections were established easy. Immediately after that a connection.Open ( ) statement failed with the error message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
At the Open statement I did a break and with Ctrl + Alt + E got all exceptions. They are too numerous to show in here. One of the messages I found was that the failure occured in System.dll.
Any ideas as to why it happened?
I disconnected (deleted) the DB in question--no change. I deleted ALL DB connections from the server explorer in VS2008 - no change. I see the only option now and that is to reinstall the VS2008. I am kind of sick and tired of doing it.
Also I've been trying to move on to Linq and it is my understanding that in order to do Linq I have to establish connections via VS2008 not just connection strings. Is it right? Perhaps I am mistaken?
This particular connection is not that crutial. I can survice without it with this app but for others it would be impossible to continue development.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
P.S.
Some additional information has transpired. I checked Sql Server Object Explorer and immediately determined that the DB in question lost ALL its tables. There was just an empty shell: the name, no tables, no system tables, no Programmability, nothing.
I "deleted" this DB and reconnected it. The connection with my app miraculously restored itself. Now I could run the app with no problem and the connection to this DB could be Opened in the app. However, when I tried to set up the connection again in the Server Explorer of VS2008 the same thing promptly happened. Now I got this exception back.
I have a problem with SQL mail on SQL 6.5 with SP 5a . I have created a job called as mailtest and is scheduled to run every morning . The task was running successfully till last week when suddenly it stopped responding on some of the SQL 6.5 Servers .
When i stop the SQL Mail and start again through the Enterprise Manager , and then run the task , it shows as successful . Every morning i have to do it to check whether the mailtest is O.K .
But the automated mailtest task has stopped suddenly . I have checked the MAPI profile and is correct as the same is configured on other servers on which my mailtest runs successful.
Did you have any experience that all publications and their related jobs suddenly disappear?
I had a transactional pull replication between two servers, and distributor and subscriber in the same box; publisher was an AA cluster server. The schedule of pulling was once a week.
Last Friday morning everything was working perfectly, but I found all publications and their related jobs disappear around 5pm
I checked with the sysadmin and he said nothing was changed on that period.
Did you have any idea about it?
Did you have any idea that I can prevent this happen again or any alert I can set up to monitor who drop it, when it was dropped and so on?
It is a SQL 2000 box and system table doest not take trigger.
The server is in use almost a year now, but suddenly this afternoon , i saw that Management Studio is missing in start --> Sql Server 2005 --> Management Studio is missing here. ( SQL Server 2005 , Standard Edition, 32-bit, SP1 )

What i need to do , so that i get back the management studio & where should i go & investigate what file is missing.

I have a sp that was taking very little time (about 34 sec). But suddenly is stacked. It is running and running and running but not LOCKED neither SUSPENDED. It is always RUNNABLE. I have made Index and statistics optimization but nothing. I looked into execution plan but everything seems ok. All the time is in 3 indexes that are Index Seek and not Table Scan!!! So why is stacked... I do not know how much time it takes because I have to stop it. (SQL SERVER 2008 R2, the database was migrated from SQL SERVER 2000)

We use Merge (pull) replication to get data from the "mother ship" updated to the laptops of 15 sales reps before they head out into the field, where they work disconnected. At end of day, they all reconnect and all the data is once again shared.
We've been having problems with the replication, but that's another topic.
This morning, I logged onto the server to check the replication monitor, and found that all of the subscriber names for that particular subscription are blank! They show the open/close bracket ( [] ) followed by the database name. This is under the My Publishers >> [server name] >> [publication name] node in the explorer tree. If I try to double-click on one of the subscribers to get their detail, I get tne message, "Replication Monitor could not open the Detail Window." and "Specified cast is not valid".
If I look at the publication in SQL Server Management Studio, all of the subscriber names show up just fine. But they do NOT show up under Replication Monitor.
No one touched the database over the weekend, and this was working just fine on Friday afternoon.
I recently installed a trial version of Sql12k on my laptop. Since 1st of November I've been creating tables without problems (15) and different schemas.I would like to emphasize that both mdf and ldf files are allocated in my USB3 portable disk. is that a problems for Sql12K? SSMS had stuck just for 20 sec or so. Then, system itself kill the task. A huge surprise when I restarted again... all the databases including the last one.. without objects. I mean, user databases...
Where are my logins? Where are my tables and schemas? Jesus christ.Sql logs inform the following (in all the moment my USB hardisk was properly connected)

...when trying to connect to RS2005 Server in Management Studio. I can reach Reporting Manager thru IE and run my reports.
Is it possible that my setting IIS to basic authentication (and turning off Windows Integrated) might be preventing me from connecting in MS, perhaps because MS has to go thru the RS service and doesnt know what basic auth is?
I'm temporarily unable to set IIS back to Windows Auth cuz the server is being used by users to test reports.
Help, don't quite understand, or more likely I've missed the point! Using VWD 2005 Express, I can create, manage/modify and SQL 2005 database aswell as maintain any data I enter into it. Fine, no problem there. However, when it comes to doing the same kind of thing with the database using MSSQL 2005 Management Studio Express, I remain mystified!? Any database I create above, through VWD 2005 Express, shows as being an attached DB in SQL MSExp and I'm able to detach and re-attach them. However, they are always attached as read only files so are unmodifiable!!! So... What is it I'm missing? What do I have to do to be able detach, attach, re-attach such databases in a modifiable form, ie NOT read-only Pulling my hair out over this one, so any advice gratefully rec'd Thanks in anticipation.......!!!
I recently upgraded from SQL Server 2000 to 2005 in our test environment. In 2000 I used Enterprise Manager to view my databases, users etc. but where can I see my databases in 2005?
I have a restaurant POS application that is written in VB 6 and the data is being written to a access database. I need to access this database over the internet. I need to get certain tables (current sales) in this database to automatically send the updated data to a Web Server. My questions are: What is the best way to do this? Do I need to have sql express loaded on site and let it do the interactions with the Access server and then connect to SQL express over the internet? I am new to this and not sure of the best way to design it. Do I use Report services or analysis services to design?
I want to use two databases for my reporting services 2005. I want to connect to one database and check whether the logged in user is a portal admin using portalid and userid.If yes, then I will allow the user to user use all the stores. Stores are displayed in the drop down list as the multiselect parameter. If no, then I will connect to another database and check the user rights. Based on the user rights I will select only the stores that are applicable the user. i don't know how to use two databases in the reporting services. Please give me an idea to do this.
I had both SQL server 2000 & 2005 on my machine. I recently un-installed 2000 for some reason, and now the SQL 2005 does not show local databases. It cannot update local server information or it doesnt let me local as a new server. How do i go about installing local databases in this situation?
I am upgrading from SQL 7.0 to 2005 and was wondering what the best method for doing this was. I tried simply backing the 7.0 database up to a file and restoring it back to the 2005 database. It seems to have worked because I can see all the database objects. The problem is that it also restored the users and I now have permission issues when accessing the data. I am not so shure it completely converted the database to SQL 2005. What is this compatability layer? Is there a prescribed method for upgrading the data, what's a good source for explaining how to do it.
Help me please! I've installed SQL Express 2005 on my XP. I'm trying to create a database but I keep getting the error no matter what I do.
