STOPAT Clause In Restore Database Command
Aug 30, 2007
Hi,
I have my backup scheduled as shown below
at 9.00am -- full backup
at 9.15am - Transaction log backup
at 9.30am - Transaction log backup
Suppose at 9.20am(say) the user deletes a table and i want to restore that particular table,i will use STOPAT clause when im restoring the transaction backup at 9.30am (WITH RECOVERY).But my doubt is how to find out the exact time the user has deleted the table.I have even checked the SQLServer Error log file but it doesnt give the exact date and time stamp of the deletion activity tht has taken place so that i can use that in STOPAT clause of RESTORE LOG command.
Please tell me where should i look for date and timestamp for all the Deletions/Updations done on a particular database.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Transact SQL :: Dynamically Creating And Running A Database Restore Command
Jun 17, 2015If I run the following command in a Query window it works:
RESTORE DATABASE CIS_Source_Data_Test FROM DISK = 'y:CIS_Source_Data_backup_2015_06_17_085557_7782407.bak' WITH RECOVERY, REPLACE
If I dynamically put together the command and store it in variable @cmd and then execute it using
exec sp_executesql @cmd or exec (@cmd) it does not work. I get the following:
Msg 2745, Level 16, State 2, Procedure CIS_Source_Data_Refresh, Line 92
Process ID 62 has raised user error 50000, severity 20. SQL Server is terminating this process.
Msg 50000, Level 20, State 1, Procedure CIS_Source_Data_Refresh, Line 92
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Msg 0, Level 20, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
Why it won't work when I try to create and run it dynamically?
SQL 2012 :: Configuring Memory Per Query Option And Index Create Memory Option
Feb 10, 2015So I started a new job recently and have noticed a few strange configurations. Typically I would never mess with min memory per query option and index create memory option configuration because i just haven't seen any need to. My typical thought is that if it isn't broke... They have been modified on every single server in my environment.
From Books Online:
• This option is an advanced option and should be changed only by an experienced database administrator or certified SQL Server technician.
• The index create memory option is self-configuring and usually works without requiring adjustment. However, if you experience difficulties creating indexes, consider increasing the value of this option from its run value.

Jul 29, 2014Sometime during the night last night some user account permissions were "lost". Am I right to think that restoring the master database would be the way to go? We have a 2 node 2012 cluster and I stop the cluster resource and start the db in single user mode from the active node. Somehow the sharepoint farm is still trying to connect so I can't get logged in single user. What method could I use to stop users from connecting when I don't have access to the sharepoint farm.

Mar 27, 2014I'm working on a project where I need to build a small database and then copy it to a server at the client's site. I can't connect directly, so I have to use a VPN connection and use Remote Desktop, copy the database backup from my machine to the cloud, then download it to the client machine. The project is still in the early stages, and the client is still sending me data in CSV files and Excel spreadsheets. I'm periodically needing to do a complete refresh of the database at the client. I've hacked my way through it a couple of times, but I need to know the proper way to do it. I get errors on the restore step, telling me the file is in use.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSQL 2012 :: Piecemeal Restore With Filestream Database?
Sep 9, 2015We have one database with Filestream enabled. There is one table "dbo.files" which uses Filestream.
We created a filestream filegroup Filegroup1 and added 3 data containers to it. (3 filestream data containers within the same filegroup.)
We have three LUNs F:, G:, H: each with a capacity of 2TB (That is the limitation). F: and G: are almost full. So, I restricted their growth so inserts do not happen into these data containers. Inserts are now going into H: drive which has lots of free space. Our application code prevents any sort of deletes or updates to this table. So data in the growth restricted containers will never change.
Now the database is around 6 TB in size and backups is a challenge. We are contemplating on migrating storage to netAPP and use their snapmanager console which is much faster.
However, until then, we need a solution with native SQL backups. We tried partial backups and piecemeal restore.
WE tried this on a test server :
1) Partial backup only the read-only data containers first, (F: and G:) (The plan is to back these up just once a month as this data never changes).
2) Partial backup the primary filegroup plus the third data container in the Filestream filegroup which is subject to inserts (H:)
While restoring, we tried the online restore, First, I restored the backup obtained from step 2 above with recovery option. Then I restored the backup obtained from step 1 with recovery. I see that the database was brought online. However, when I try to query the dbo.files table, I get an error stating that some files of the filestream filegroup are offline.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSQL Server 2012 :: Restore Database With Minimal Downtime
Oct 12, 2015I have a process that restores a production DB, overwriting the existing copy each night. I'd like to keep the solution "up" for as long as possible. And this'll be more important if I want to update it in the day (where there are more queries) too. The nature of queries thrown at the system is that there are about 20 per hour, it's underpinning a reporting system, it's not an OLTP system.
It seems to me I could restore the fresh DB copy into a holding DB, then rename it to the production DB name at the end of the process. The rename process should be pretty much instant.
But I need to think about detecting and waiting for queries to complete on the prod DB, before removing/demoting it (actually, I though to rename it, then reusing it as the next copy to update).

View 3 Replies View RelatedSQL Server 2012 :: Restore Database And Create Users Using Minimal Elevated Privilege
Apr 29, 2015What I want to do is :
- restore a backup of a 3rd party database onto one of our servers
- this has no users that I can use
- there is some ETL processing so we're using Control-M to manage the process
- create a database user and grant it db_reader.
I'd like to do this without granting any users elevated privileges if possible.
What I've done so far is grant the Control-M user (this is a domain user) dbcreator rights and made it owner of our copy of the database that is being refreshed.
The refresh is completing, but Control-M is not able to log onto the database to create the user.
What is the best way to accomplish this task without granting the control-m user sysadmin rights?
Would I be able to do it if I used a SQL Agent job for the restore and user creation?

Jul 10, 2002Hey Folks,
I have inherited a project from a co-worker who has had a family tradegy, and I am trying to get up to speed with her project.
We have an SQL server 7 database which is getting backed up every night (by SQL itself) into a .BAK file. I need to know if it is possible to restore this file from the command line (a DOS prompt.) I know (or think I know) how to do it from within SQL Enterprise Manager, however the specific needs of this project require it be done from a command line on the machine.
I really am not an SQL guru...I don't even think I qualify as "knowing what I am doing" at all, so any advice you can offer will be greatly appreciated. This is kind og urgent, so your thoughts are welcome!
Thanks!

Create Restore Command From DB Backup File
Sep 7, 2006This script will read the contents of a DB backup file, and generate a restore command.
Set the value of parameter @backup_path to point to the backup file, run in Query Analyzer, cut/paste the output into another Query Analyzer window, modify as necessary, and run.
This is just a barebones script to demo how this can be done. Modify as necessary to meet your own needs.
Works in SQL 2000 and 7.0. May work in SQL 2005, but it is not tested.
