Restoring T-logs To A Live Db
Apr 28, 2000I'm trying to configure log shipping When I retore the full disk dump of my databaseto my standby server, I need to be able to go in and drop and recreate several user logins(so they can do reports, read-only).
Once I do this though, I will be unable to restore T-logs, right?
Anyone know a way to get it back into a read only state and able to accept T-log restores? Thanks.

Restoring From Transaction Logs.
Aug 28, 2000Hi all,
I am restoring database from Transaction Logs. I followed all the steps
mentioned in the book. Just before the last step there are three options
1. Leave Database Operational. No Additional Logs can be Restored.
2. Leave Database Nonoperational But Able to Restore Additional
Transaction Logs.
3. Leave Database Read_Only And Able To Restore Additional Transaction Logs.
Option 2 and 3 aresupposed to set on the NORECOVERY flag.
I tried both options 2, and 3 , But still got messages that I did not
specify WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY.
Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in Advance.

View 6 Replies View RelatedRestoring Tran Logs To Standby
Jan 22, 2001I have recently implemented a backup solution that keeps our standby server up-to-date with nightly database backup and restores. Ironed out all the problems with syslogins and orphan users. It's been working very well over the past few weeks.
On the production server we do hourly tran log dumps every hour between 8am and 10pm. I would like to implement some form of "log shipping" to bring the window of vulnerability down to 1 hour. By making some alterations to my current process I been able to incorporate the hourly log dumps in the same process.
However, when I try to restore the log on the standby servre I get the following message,
Server: Msg 4305, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Specified file 'HODB1SQLBACKUPRace_Prd_T_dump.200101231513' is out of sequence. Current time stamp is Jan 23 2001 2:01PM while dump was from Jan 23 2001 3:01PM.
After a bit of investigation I found the dumptrdate field in the sysdatabases table and it was set to Jan 23 2001 14:01. After updating this field to Jan 23 2001 14:01, I ran the load command again but received the same error message.
Is there something else that needs updating on the standby server? Is what I'm trying to do possible in 6.5? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Timestamp Error While Restoring Transaction Logs
Feb 10, 2000I have scheduled a database backup at 9 pm and 5 Transaction Log backups. The transaction Log backups happen at 11 am, 1 pm, 3 pm and 5 pm (device does not get initialized) and one at 11 pm where i initialize the backup device. now i have another server with the same database on it. I restore these backups on to this server by simple copying the files and then doing Restore ...From Device...Add file...option. I am able to restore the DB backup but when i try to restore the log backups it get the error msg -
'Specified file 'G:...' is out of sequence. current time stamp is Feb 9 2000 3:54 pm while dump was from Feb 9 2000 3 pm.'
When i am restoring the logs i start from the 1st backup buyt still i get this error. Can someone pls let me know what the problem is and how to resolve it. Thanks.
Restoring SQL2000 Transaction Logs To SQL2005
Oct 19, 2006Hey all,
Just went through migrating to SQL 2005 as well and we have a need to apply log shipping between SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. Well not shipping per say in the automated fashion that SQL 2005 offers but rather we need to apply SQL 2000 transaction logs to a SQL 2005 instance. Though the database is still in SQL 2000 version 80 and the secondary database needs to be available in read only. (STANDBY MODE)
When I attempt to restore either a FULL backup or transaction log I get the error:
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. This backup cannot be restored using WITH STANDBY because a database upgrade is needed. Reissue the RESTORE without WITH STANDBY
The only way I could restore the FULL was by using the WITH RECOVERY OR NORECOVERY option during the restore process. The issue with this is I need the database in standby by mode in order to continue to append transaction logs.
Anybody have any thoughts how I might be able to get around this?
Thanks
Eric

Restoring SQL 7.0 Backup On SQL 2000 Server
Oct 9, 2002Hi Gurus,
I am new to SQL server and I need your advise on the following .
1. We have two SQL 7.0 Databases at a distant location and we want to move those databases to our location.
2. we plan to take the SQL backup of the databases in tape ( 4Gb and 2 Gb in size) , bring them here, restore them to SQL 2000 server.
- Is this possible , DO SQL 7.0 backups are restored on SQL 2000 without any problems ?.
Also, we plan to take log backups of the DBs at the source after the initial full backups and apply them at the target SQL 2K databases till we cut over to the Target Databases.
Ehat would be the best method of doing this? All your suggestions , pointers to real life scenarios like this, solutions are welcome.
Please let me know if you need any more informations , before suggesting any solution.

Problem Restoring SQL Svr 2000 Master Db - Wrong Server Version?
Jul 20, 2005I'm trying to rebuild from a meltdown. I'm using disk backup files. Icould have sworn that I had SQL Server 2000 SP3 installed on the oldmachine, but maybe not.With SP3 installed, I get a message along the lines that the restorecan't be done because the backup was created using server version134218262 and this server is version 134218488.I've searched the documentation and can't find any reference to thoseversion numbers.In any case, I thought SQL Server 2000 could restore backups createdon any SP level to any SP level.Any ideas?--Regards.Richard.

SQL Server Logs (error Logs)

QUESTION 2: If not, is there a workaround?

SQL 2000 Trans Logs Too Big
Aug 10, 2001We're running Lawson software on our SQL 2000 box. We're using Veritas
Backup Exec to back up the databases to tape. I'm also using a Maint
Plan for an extra backup (kinda redundant, but I need the practice at
all this). I just added transaction logs to the maint plan (so I
thought) but I only see a log for 1 of the 3 databases.
Also, my trans log file is 11 gig. I thought backing up the trans logs
would get the trans to delete afterwards (databases are recovery
model=full). Can anyone point a newbie in the right direction.
Fortunately it's not in production yet, and we haven't had any disasters
(yet).

Error Whilst Adding Foreign Key
Jan 4, 2008I've been getting what I think is a bizarre error message whilst trying to create a foreign key between two tables.
tblDailyComments has a primary key of DiaryID
tblDailyOperatingData has a column DiaryID.
Both are Int (4).
Yet when I run the following:
ALTER TABLE tblDailycomments
ADD CONSTRAINT FK_tbldailycomments_tblDailyOpData
FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES
tblDailyOperatingData(DiaryID)
I'm getting the error message:
Server: Msg 8139, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Number of referencing columns in foreign key differs from number of referenced columns, table 'tblDailycomments'.
I also tried to create the relationship in a database diagram and this brought back errors as well.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I assume it's backwards compatible and that you just can not use SQL 2000 to restore a database to SQL 2005.
