SQL 2012 :: Does Setting A Database Offline Free Up Resources On The Server
Jun 25, 2015I have about 50 databases that are only accessed once a month and on a predictable schedule. Would it free up resources on the server if they were kept offline and brought online only when needed ?

Apr 10, 2007Hi, I am relative newbie to SQLServer. When I try to take a user database offline, the query "hangs," with the query processing circle spinning. The Sharepoint 7 application is running on top of the Enterprise SQL Server 2005 db with several logins sleeping and awaiting commands. No errors are generated until I kill the offline command. Anyone have any ideas? Do I need to kill all the connections?

SQL 2012 :: Restore Master Database For A New Database?
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).
SQL 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?

Database Taken Offline
Feb 28, 2006Over the weekend I had one of my databases taken offline. To my knowledge no one explicitly took this database offline. This isn't to say that someone did and is refusing to speak up. I'm just trying to find some answers.
I do know that our IT dept. did maintenance to a number of our servers and they swear nothing was done to this one. So my question is, "Is there any SQL process that can take a database offline."
I've checked the log files but there isn't anything that directly points to that database being taken offline.
Running Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4, SQL 2000 SP3 on a NT INTEL X86 platform.
Any ideas or comments are appreciated!
Database Offline
Mar 12, 2007What exactly is database offline? I tried to google it but didn't get what I was looking for.
One of my environments has few users. They attach databases and run an application to produce the results. Sometimes they forget to detach databases after their use and these databases remain in SQL Server. Sometimes they leave the database to use it in future.
At the moment there are about 900 databases attached. I believe these attached databases are using the servers resources and therefore, decrease performance. Is this correct?
I was thinking to force the users to detach databases that they do not need and attach when they need. Then thought why shouldn't just set the database to offline and take it back online when they need. Does this increase performance? Does this save server's resources?
Thanks,

Copying Database Offline
May 19, 2008I'm going overseas this summer with my laptop and I have to continue working on a project. Unfortunately that laptop only has Windows Vista Home Premium. I can't afford to get the upgrade but am in the position of having to copy a database from the server to my laptop so I can continue working on it. What I need to do is find a way to copy the database over but in the case where the two computers aren't connected over a network. Is this possible? I tried to simply copy the .mdb, but there were permissions errors (of course). Is there a way to do this? It's pretty important that I get it on the laptop one way or another. Thank you!

Help - Script That Checks For OFFLINE Database
Sep 21, 2006Hello ,
I have got a script which checks for the databases that are offline. and mails the dba when any of the database is offline.
When I schedule the job , for every hour , it gives me an blank mail only with the subject ' status of database on testsql' even though no databases are offline.
So how can I change the script , so that it mails the dba only when a database is offline even though its scheduled every hour or half an hour.
The script is:
Set NoCount on
DECLARE @dbname VARCHAR(100)
deCLARE @Status varchar(100)
Declare @Message VARCHAR(8000)
DECLARE @date varchar(100)
set @date = convert(varchar(100), getdate(),109)
set @Message = ''DECLARE dbname_cursor
CURSOR FOR SELECT [name], CONVERT(varchar(30),DATABASEPROPERTYEX(name,'Statu s'))
as [Status] FROM master..sysdatabases WHERE CONVERT(varchar(30),DATABASEPROPERTYEX(name,'Statu s')) = 'OFFLINE'
order by name
OPEN dbname_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM dbname_cursor INTO @dbname, @Status
WHILE
@@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN select @message = @message + @@Servername + '-' + @dbname + ' - ' + @Status + Char(13)+ ‘- ‘ + @date
FETCH NEXT FROM dbname_cursor INTO @dbname, @Status
END
CLOSE dbname_cursor
DEALLOCATE dbname_cursor
print @message

Backup Of Database Doesn't Take Source DB Offline
Jul 16, 2014I'm using 2014 SE.I know a backup of a database doesn't take the source DB offline, but then I need to move this DB to another server (for intensive reporting work). At present we restore the DB, but that means putting the DB in single user mode, kicking everyone off, and completing the restore.
I see from 2014 EE notes that "online restore" is possible. EE is of course, mightily expensive.Or perhaps it's possible to configure things to speed up the restore process somehow, so there is less downtime?, the resource impact in creating the backup is quite high, perhaps there's a way to (apart from playing with backup compression) reduce the impact on the source server here?
