SQL 2012 :: Creating Test DB From A Full Backup Of Production Database

Jul 23, 2014

I am attempting to create a Test db from a full backup of the production db. With 2012, I cannot do it the the way i had done it in previous versions (and now i understand why because of Logical names).

The Test db runs in the same instance as Prod db.

I attempted to run this but come up with errors. This is what i executed:

RESTORE DATABASE TEST FROM DISK = 'E:<path>FULL.BAK'
WITH REPLACE, RECOVERY,
MOVE 'PROD' TO 'E:<path>TEST.MDF';

The errors are all cannot execute due to PROD is in use.

SQL 2012 :: Setting Up Transaction Replication In Test Environment From Production

Mar 3, 2015

Setting up Transaction Replication in test environment. I am willing to bet that most of you take a production backup (if so, how, and using what?), restoring the database to your test environment, then running a snapshot to your subscriber and away you go.

But perhaps you take a backup of your publisher and subscriber, if so, how do you know there are no inconsistences because there were transactions sitting on the distributor?

What do you do if you have additional indexes on the subscriber for reporting, that are not on the publisher?

Here at work we are having issues with getting consistent databases set up with T Rep, missing rows, duplicate keys at subscriber etc. How to avoid these issues.

SQL Server Test To Production Database Migration

Feb 25, 2006

Hi,



Is there any tool available to migrate the data from the SQL Server
test database to SQL Server production database. Data Migration should
be based on a condition which can be given as an input for a table by
the user. The dependant tables also should be migrated based on the
condition. i.e data subsetting based on the matching conditions.



Ex : Salary > 2000



The rows of the table which matches the condition alone need to be
migrated for the corresponding table. Also its dependant table's
rows should be migrated based on the given condition. Please help me
with a tool which can automate this.



Thanks,

Smitha

SQL 2012 :: Full Text Search On Production Server?

Jan 29, 2014

Full Text Searches are working on my test server, but not on my production server. My test scenario is as follows:

CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG FTC_Test
AS DEFAULT
AUTHORIZATION dbo

CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX ON guest.FtsTest(FullName)
KEY INDEX PK_FtsTest ON FTC_TestI wait briefly and then check to see if the index has been populated:
SELECT * FROM sys.fulltext_indexescrawl_end_date is not null,

So I'm assuming I don't have to wait anymore before I try some FTS searches. Right? I can't get any queries to return anything, though.

The following tells me the full text item count for the table is zero:

DECLARE @TableId INT
SELECT @TableId = id FROM sys.sysobjects WHERE [Name] = 'FtsTest'
SELECT OBJECTPROPERTYEX(@TableId, 'TableFulltextItemCount') AS TableFulltextItemCount

As mentioned, the full text search works on my test server. Both of them are SQL 20012 SP1 (11.0.3000) x64 running on WinServer 2008 R2 SP1.

SQL Server 2008 :: Test Backup Restores (full And Log) - Restore Databases Automatically?

Apr 4, 2015

I am working towards automating the process of testing our backups. For the meantime, I do it all manually - I copy the backup files (full + transaction logs) to our test server and then run the restore script. Once database restored I run the DBCC CheckDB. The results of checkdb I manually upload to our Sharepoint portal as proof that the backup file is intact with no errors.

here are some ideas I have but have not yet tested:

Create a maintenance plan with each 3 jobs:

--> Powershell script to copy the files from Prod server to Test server - add this scrip to Job1
--> Powershell script to restore databases files - add this script to Job2
--> Run the DBCC in powershell (yet to find if possible in PS) - add this script to Job3

I would like to use seperate jobs as to get a report on the duration and status of each job

Would also like to get the results of the DBCC Checkdb as proof that no errors were found for upload to our Sharepoint portal. Dont know if possible via the job.

SQL 2012 :: Approaches For Creating A Test Environment

Dec 11, 2014

I am try to put together options in regard to creating a test environment for our Dynamics NAV system. The environment will be mainly used to test new releases / changes ahead of applying them to production.The 2 options I am considering are…

1.Create a second Test instance on our Production SQL Server to host a test database

2.Purchase a set of SQL developer licences and having a totally separate server for our test environment.

My preference would be option 2. However I need to build a convincing case that this is the best way forward. I wondered if I could tap into the thoughts of the SQL Central community and see how other approach this.

Need Backup Of Production Database On Dev Server. Log Shipping?

May 29, 2007

I have a 20 GB SS2005 database that I would like to be replicated to a dev server for testing purposes. I might have some issues with the firewall blocking ports. I haven't read up on the specifics of how log shipping works yet, but I assume that is the best approach. A daily transfer would suffice.



A few options I am considering:

1. use the built in stuff, but I'm not sure it will work with our security settings, and if the trans logs are large it might be strained.



2. writing a small custom app to zip up the log file then ftp them down to the dev server. This could run nightly.



3. some third party util, such as FolderShare could transfer the log files



Any comments or suggestions?

SQL Security :: Full Backup Needed After Restoration Of Database Before Transaction Log Backup

Jul 15, 2015

We take a full backup in the early morning and hourly transaction log back during the working hours for one database in the production server. The application team made certain changes to the design of the said database in their development server. The backup from the development server was restored to the production server during working hours. After the restoration should we take a full backup before next transactional logbackup? Would the transactional log backup with out a full backup after the restoration of a database be valid?

Recovery :: Differential Backup Much Larger Than Database / Full Backup

Nov 16, 2015

I have a database that is just over 1.5GB and the Full backup that is 13GB not sure how this is since we have compression on for full backups and my other full backups are much smaller than there respective databases...Now my full backup is taken every Sunday night and the differentials are taken every 6 hours after the full backup. Now I have been thrown into this DBA role with little to no experience just what I have picked up and read. So my understanding of backups are limited but what I think I understand is that we take a full backup and the differential only captures what changes in the database so my question is why is my database 1.5GB but my differential is 15.4GB? I have others database that are on the same instance and don't seem to have this problem. I also just noticed that we do not rebuild the index before a full backup like we do on other instances...

SQL 2012 :: Full Backup And Remove Old Log Backups

Aug 4, 2015

I am in plan to implement following for backup of one of our database Enable Full recovery mode

1- Create full backup nightly
2- Create transaction log backup after every 25 min

as I am taking full backup every night, I think I can remove transaction log file backups at the time of full backup, as we can apply transaction log backup over full backup.My question is regarding removal of transaction log backups.

-Should I remove all transaction log backups and then execute full backup?
-Should I execute full backup and remove all transaction log backup older than 24Hrs ?
-Do I have to consider SCN or related info before deleting any transaction log backup ?

How To Test Before Putting In Production

Jul 17, 2006

Hi all,
I have a asp .net 1.1 application running on the intranet which uses SQL Server 2000.
The application is in production and everytime I want to do some changes, i do the changes on my
development machine then I copy the application dll on the server.
The problem is that I'm using Stored Procedures for all my Select, Insert and Delete statements.
These stored procedures are live on the server so I can't do the modifications locally and test them then copy to the server.

How can I do modifications without affecting the production server and the users ???
thanks.

Here is my requirement.

There is a production database which has ever increasing data. For testing purposes though, I would like to build a test database with exactly the same schema but only a subset of data copied from the production database . I'll specify the criteria (something like a where clause in select query) for copying the data from the production database.

Is there a tool that anyone has come across to do this job ?

SQL2005 Cannot Backup A Restored SQL2000 Database With Unknow Database Full-text Catalog Database

Nov 15, 2007



We replicate a SQL2000 database (DataBaseA) to a SQL2000 database (DataBaseB) by using the Restore function and hasn't change its logical name but only the physical data path and file name. It is running fine for a year. We use the same way to migrate the DataBaseB to a new SQL2005 server with the Restore function and the daily operation is running perfect. However, when we do the Backup of DatabaseB in the SQL2005, it just prompt the error message


System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of full-text catalog 'DataBaseA' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)


Please note we left the DataBaseA in the old SQL2000 server.


Please help on how we can delete the Full-text catalog from DatabaseB so we can do a backup


Many Thanks

How To Change Application To Work With Test DB Opposed To Production DB

May 26, 2015

How do I change application code to easily switch between the application working against a test database versus working with a production database?

My thought is to change the connection string to work with a test DB, and when ready to Publish, change the connection string back to the production DB.  After Publish is successful, change the connection string back to the test DB.

At first, it appears it will work.  Will it?  Whether it will or won't?

Hello
I have a production database that i need to refresh to our test environment daily. The database size is 700 MB.
I do not need to transfer the stored procedures and triggers , users and logins.
Would a DTS package that runs every night be the best and the easiest solution to implement or should i look into log shipping and snapshot replication.

Creating A User That Has Full Access To A Database

Mar 17, 2008

Hi,

How do I create a user that has full access to a database using only SQL statements?

I've create very basic database called "sampledb".

Then I've done:

CREATE LOGIN sampleuser WITH PASSWORD = '123sampleuser', DEFAULT_DATABASE = sampledb;
USE sampledb;
CREATE sampleuser FOR LOGIN sampleuser WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = 'db_owner';

Then I logon to SQL server express 2005 management studio using this user, first of all I do not see the sampledb database listed under "databases" even though it is selected in the "available databases" toolbar (how do I list it there? Because going through "attach..." tells me I do not have the privileges to browse for the database to attach).

I then open up a new query (sampledb is selected), and type (products is one of the table in sampledb):
select * from products;

And I get:


Msg 229, Level 14, State 5, Line 1

The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'Products', database 'sampledb', schema 'dbo'.

Shouldn't the chosen schema (db_owner) give me the right to do this? And how do I fix this from the query window (without going through the GUI, just using SQL statements)? And how do I list sampledb under the databases when I log in as this user?

Thank you!
-Yannick

Data Source Deployment Best Practises Supporting Development, Test, And Production Environments

Feb 4, 2008

We are setting up a new Reporting Services 2005 enterprise reporting tier that will support multiple developers, applications, and end users. We will have mirrored environments including development, test, and production each with their own database cluster, and reporting server.

We have multiple report developers who share a single Visual Studio solution which is saved in SourceSafe and is setup to have separate report projects for each business unit in the orgainzation. Each report project is mapped to a specific deployment folder matching the business unit. Using the Visual Studio Configuration Manager, we can simply flip to the envirnoment we want to deploy to and the reports are published to the correct environment and folder structure.

My problem lies with the common data sources. We are using a single master Common Data Sources folder to hold all of the data sources. The trick is that each and every reporting folder seems to have to have it's own copy of the data source in visual studio. There does not seem to be an easy way to change the data sources for the reports when you publish to various environment, i.e. development, test, production etc.

Ideally, we would have a single project for the common data sources that all reporting projects and associated folders would map to, and we would have a way to associate the appropriate data source for each environment when we deploy.

I'm looling for best practices on how to setup data sources for development and deployment in an enterprise environment that uses Visual Studio to develop and publish reports. We have 3 environments, and 6 data sources per environment and about 20 reporting folder / project in Visual Studio. That's 360 changes that have to be manged when deploying reports. Is there a best practices way to do this?

There has got to be a better way? Can anyone give me some insite into how to set this up?

Thanks!
