How to backup half of dbs from a server on C drive and the other half on D drive and vice versa, first half on D drive and other half On C drive using only one job and one stored procedure??
Using scheduling from job add 2 schedules to the job so first schedule backup first half to C and second half to D , the second schedule backup first half to D and second half to D.
I have 2 tables:
tbl1: InstituteID, name
tbl2 ApplicantID, InstituteID ,Applicant_Name, address, city, state, status *
* Status field contains value A for acceptance or R for rejected
listing Institute names where more than half of applicants were accepted.
Being a very novice SQL Server administrator, I need to ask the experts a question.
How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:. Can someone provide me with instructions?
Thanks,
Rick
Hi
I have been trying to use openrowset with a shared drive, and even though the share has "full control" permissions granted to "everyone" and the accout that SQL runs under has been granted explicit full control permissions I am unable to open the file which itself has no security on it.
Can I not use a \ path and only use mapped drives?
Thanks
below works...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
below doesn't work...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=\cluster02FileManager5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
We are attempting to restore one of our databases from a backup that went to a local drive on the server.
We see the backupset in the list but receive an error that it is not available when we try to use it. When we try to restore from device and select the files the drive letter is not available. When we attempt to enter the path to the file it can't locate it. We don't have space on our SAN to copy the backup there and we can't add the local drive to the cluster resources.
Is there a way to get this backup done?
I have 2 different servers that run nightly backup jobs to a network drive using the UNC format. I am noticing the larger databases encountering the following errors on a regular basis
Error: 18210, Severity: 16, State: 1.
'\fnfssql3SQLBackupsMNSQL05<database>.BAK'. Operating system error 64(The specified network name is no longer available.).
BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE <database>. Check the backup application log for detailed messages.
There are 5 databases on this server all backed up by the same job and 3 of them wortk fine and 2 of them fail so it is not a permissions problem. Have there been any problems with backing up to a network drive in 2005?
Although clearly not best practice for a produciton DB, is it supported to attach MDF/LDF files that are hosted on a network drive?
I have been exploring options to host a read only archive database that we need to access on a very short term adhoc basis.
Hi all,
I am trying to create a table of counts but it is running too long and would be a waste of paper so in essence I want the table to wrap at the 50% mark. As far as I understand theres no way to do that with just one table in RS so Im planning on using two tables and filtering them somehow.
I have been looking at the top % and bottom % filters but they dont seem to work for my purposes.
Heres what I got:
Program
Count
Program 1
40
Program 2
25
Program 3
23
Program 4
18
Program 5
10
Program 6

Program 7
1
Heres what I want to do:
Program
Count
Program 1
40
Program 2

Program 3
23
Program 4
18
Program
Count
Program 5
10
Program 6

Program 7

gte 50%
lt 50%
Does anyone know an easy way to split a data set by group at the 50% mark?
Thanks!
update top (50) percent table1 set fields1 = 1
update top (50) percent table1 set fields1 = 2
like the subject, all or half? thanks
I am trying to move a log file from one drive to another.
What I have done is add another file to my file group. So now my log has a file on the 'e' drive and one on the 'f' drive. I now want to remove the file on the 'e' drive. I have emptied the file on the 'e' drive. When doing the command:
ALTER DATABASE Uniprodruntime
REMOVE FILE m_rk_runtime_log
I get the following error message..
Server: Msg 5020, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The primary data or log file cannot be removed from a database.
I have also gone into enterprise manager and tried to delete the file and it does nothing.
Has anyone run into this?
How do you compare SAN drive vs local drive on a 32 bit server?
Is it good idea to move my DB files to a SAN instead of local?

1: TempDB keeps getting filled. Restart of the server has not fixed it. I shrink it, but the space gets filled again. Now I can't even shrink it anymore
2: TempDB is at the wrong location. Its current location is this :C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
How do I change its location?
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
Correct location of TempDB should be: TempDB(T:) But its not there

anyhelp would be aprciated,. thanks so much
I don't work much with the back end of software development so there is a lot about SQL Server I do not know.
We are building a database. The database will have about 10 tables in it. 3 of these tables will probably have a huge amount of data in them. Specifically each one of the 3 tables will each have about a half a million database records in it. Each record is about 100 characters max in length.(Im am including numbers as characters and summing the individual columns/fields to come up with 100).
Will a SQL server database table with A half a million records in it be possible? We have tried to normalize the database to cut down on the size of the table but it all comes out to about a half a million records per table.
Any help is deeply appreciated.

All rows of a 1500+ record text file we have at work should be 512 spaces. Some are not and seem to be causing problems. I get half the records I should be getting on an import. When the DTS task comes across one of these records it takes it and appends them together and makes two rows one row. Any ideas? I tried making a table with one field of datatype char(1000) and tried to import into this table. I figured this would add any missing trailing spaces but no go.

I have data that looks like the following.
ID Date Time Length Interval_Num
1 10/11/2014 9:00 420 14
Basically, length represents the # of minutes a person is scheduled for. We have 30 minute intervals. Interval_Num = (Length/30). I need the data to show each interval. For the above example it should only be 14 intervals.For the above example the solution should look like....
ID Date Time Length
1 10/11/2014 9:00 30
1 10/11/2014 9:30 30
1 10/11/2014 10:00 30
1 10/11/2014 10:30 30
for 14 intervals up until 16:00
I'm developing one leave application form in that I've declared "No of days"column as nvarchar type..If the user taking half(1/2) day leave then have to covert that 1/2 into 4 hours itseems..since I'm trying to display the table data on datagridview while displaying that half day in gridview again it has to conver 4 hours into 1.2 format..
My Table design:
Create table Leave_Form
(
Employee_id int primary key,
Emp_Date date,
Emp_name nvarchar(50),
[Code] ....
Windows form:
I would like to make a function to convert a datetime to half-hour. E.g. If the timestamp is 1:23:05 then converts to 1:30:00, if 1:35:27 then converts to 2:00:00.
Anyone has any idea? Thanks.
do all sql data types consume whole numbers of bytes? We have an app that might be best suited to bit manipulation at the nibble rather than byte level.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I just got an email from Production Support saying an hour and a half downtime is unacceptable to move a half billion rows between 2 partitions because I am moving a clustered index and space is a consideration.
I can not use partition switching because the clustered index is changing.
This is what I am doing...
1. I am creating a new table with the new cluster on a new partiton
2. I am moving the records in 5K set based batches by doing a range search on the existing clustered index on the existing table.
3. I then reapply all of the nonclustered index from the original table to the new one.
4. I do a sp_rename swap out.
The same way I have done this many times before. Is there some new secret special sauce (other than partition switching) I can use?
How I can split the half hour in number from this string?
20130329070000 (it's varchar)
Easy for the date
cast (left(20130329070000,8)as date)
I can achieve even the Half Hour
select
left(SUBSTRING('20130329070000',9,4),2)+':'+RIGHT(SUBSTRING('20130329070000',9,4),2)
But what I need is the Half Hour in numeric format, so 00:00
should be 1, 00:30 should be 22, 01:00
should be 3, 01.30 should be 4......23:30 should be 24.
I already did but I can't find the piece of code I used.
Pls explain how to backup and restore data on SQL Server with a CD drive instead of tape drive.
This is urgent.
Thanks.
I have a utility I wrote which can backup/restore my database as wellas schedule backups. This has always worked pretty well except when Itry to backup to a USB Flash Disk. When I use one of these the backupfails. If I backup to the C:/ drive then copy it over to the disk itworks fine but when SQL Server tries to do it, it can't.I am simply doing the following:BACKUP DATABASE MyDatabase TO DISK = 'E:/backup.dat_bak' WITH INITAnyone know what could be going wrong?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table that I need to do some computations on all the data but first I need to remove the duplicate records and insert the results into a destination table. Here's the example below. My table has 3.1 million rows. I have tried using the DISTINCT and the GROUP BY but both ways to select the data takes about half a minute to run. I'm wondering if there is a way to increase performance. Users are ok with this time since the process runs overnight but improving it won't hurt. I do have a clustered index on these fields but that doesn't seem to improve any.

I use ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL 2005, the SQLCacheDependency didn't work stable for me, it usually works and after a while, it stops working. Recently, It doesn't work. Today I reset service broker by
Alter DB set new_broker
It seems all work, but too early to be happy, it doesn't work now anymore. I don't see any record in
sys.transmission_queue
And I don't see new entries in
sys.dm_qn_subscriptions neither when I modify a record which bind to SQLCacheDependy.
I see some errors in log like
Message
The query notification dialog on conversation handle '{8F8CC642-6340-DB11-8F09-0014227B7B80}.' closed due to the following error: '<?xml version="1.0"?><Error xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQL/ServiceBroker/Error"><Code>-8490</Code><Description>Cannot find the remote service 'SqlQueryNotificationService-f79776f7-9ca5-4c5f-8a66-0d81f7673683' because it does not exist.</Description></Error>'.
Any idea how to find out the problem?
thanks!

We're trying to backup some dbs to a network drive but fail.
I read that the 'a/c to run SQLAgent must be a domain user a/c with
proper permission to access the network drive.'
What is proper permission? Read, Write ?
Only the a/c that runs SQLAgent needs the proper permission, the job's owner doesn't?!?
Thanks in advance,
Ben
Hi guys.
Has anyone ever done SQL DB backup directly onto a maped network drive?
We've got a really huge DB 100GB+ that just wont fit into the local Hard Disk for backup.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Stephen
I have creted a backup device on network drive and getting the following error when I run the backup command as a job.SQL server and the agent are running on a domain account which has full permission on the network drive.Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
"Cannot open backup device 'mccdiffbkpond2build'.
Device error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error
log for more details. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3201) Backup or
restore operation terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000]
(Error 3013). The step failed"
I am setting up a backup on one of my DB's and the network drive does not appear as an location that I can backup too. Only the C drive is present. However, on the server I do have a drive mapped to the network drive, so it should be available. Has anyone encountered this issue before?
Thanks!

I want to perform backups to a network drive. I need to know if I can access the backup drive via UNC. I have not been able to get it to work and, for now, I would just like to know if what I am trying to do SHOULD work.
For example I want to backup to device mdtnts_prod02LM2BackupNameBack.DAT.
Thanks,Bob
Hello,
I'm looking to get the drive letter and path for my backups programmatically. I am monitoring my sqlserver boxes remotely and need to get this information to determine if my backups will fit on the backup drive.
I'm looking for either a sql statement or a stored procedure to accomplish this.
For example...the backup script states:
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_create_subdir N'H:MSSQLBackupmaster'
I need to know how this script gets H:MSSQLBackup
Thanks in advance.
Hi there,
Does anyone know if it's possible to perform a MSSQL7 database backup on a network drive instead of the local drives ?
...and if yes, how to proceed ?
It seems to be possible under MSSQL2000.
Many thanks for your help in advance,
Matt
