SQL Server 2005 Instance Is Dead After Moving System Databases!
May 20, 2008
Followed this article to move my model and msdb databes but I think I messed up. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345408.aspx
The instance will not start because it says one of the files does not match it's primary file (not sure if it's model or msdb)
I can bring the instance up in single user mode (NET START mssqlserver /f /t3608) but when I try to do a query to re-do my alter statements, it says i can't attach because only one seesion is allowed. in 2000 i used to be able to start query analyzer without starting enterprise manager..
When i try and start with a minimal config (sqlservr -c -m) it won't start. I get an error saying that one of my files does not match it's primary file (either model or msbd don't know which) any ideas????????

I think one of my system database files is corrupted. I did an alter database... to move my Model and MSDB and now I can only start the instance with /f /t3608
I can connect to the instance but I can't do anything I get an error that one of the database files does not match it's primary file.. I don't know if it's MSDB or MODEL but I pretty much can't do anything.
I made a backup of model and msdb before I started.. how do I go about restoring them?

I am in the process of moving my system databases to another volume. I have accommplished the first section pertaining to master database.
I have reached step 3 in the Resource database move section down below.
It states to change the FILENAME path to match the new location of the master database. Do not change the name of the database or the file names.
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource
MODIFY FILE (NAME=data, FILENAME= 'new_path_of_mastermssqlsystemresource.mdf');
I changed the query to point ot the new location of the master, (E:MSSQLData)
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource
MODIFY FILE (NAME=data, FILENAME= E:MSSQLDatamssqlsystemresource.mdf');
I get the following error when I run the query:
Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database mssqlsystemresource. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
What am I doing wrong? My syntax must be incorrect. But I can't figure it. Anybody done this before.
These are the steps per msdn.
****************************************************************************************************************
To move the master database, follow these steps.
1. From the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager.
2. In the SQL Server 2005 Services node, right-click the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service and choose Properties.
3. In the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
4. Edit the startup parameters values to point to the planned location for the master database data and log files and click Apply. Moving the error log file is optional.
The parameter value for the data file must follow the -d parameter and the value for the log file must follow the -l parameter. The following example shows the parameter values for the default location of the master data and log files.
-dC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATAmaster.mdf;-eC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLLOGERRORLOG;-lC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATAmastlog.ldf
If the planned relocation for the master data file is E:SQLData and the planned relocation for the log file is F:SQLLog, the parameter values would be changed as follows:
-dE:SQLDatamaster.mdf;-eC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLLOGERRORLOG;-lF:SQLLogmastlog.ldf
5. Stop the MSSQLSERVER service.
6. Physically move the files to the new location.
7. Restart the MSSQLSERVER service.
8. Verify the file change.
SELECT name, physical_name, state_desc
FROM sys.master_files
WHERE database_id = DB_ID('master');
********************************************************************************************
To move the Resource database, follow these steps.
1. Stop the MSSQLSERVER service if it is started.
2. Start the service in minimal mode. To do this, at the command prompt, enter <SQLPath>innsqlservr -c -f -T3608 where <SQLPath> is the path for the instance of ssNoVersion. For example, C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQL. This will start the instance of ssNoVersion for master-only recovery.
3. Run these queries. Change the FILENAME path to match the new location of the master database. Do not change the name of the database or the file names.
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource MODIFY FILE (NAME=data, FILENAME= 'new_path_of_mastermssqlsystemresource.mdf');
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource MODIFY FILE (NAME=log, FILENAME= 'new_path_of_mastermssqlsystemresource.ldf');
4. Make sure the Resource database is set to read-only by running this query:
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource SET READ_ONLY;
5. Physically move the files to the new location.
6. Restart the MSSQLSERVER service.

whenever we are moving system databases from one drive to another, do we need to move the path physically? or it automatically moves.I want to try the rebuild the sql server. So I want to corrupt the master database so, I deleted the master mdf file and restore it back but instead of database corruption it is giving the following error message. How can I corrupt the master database and can practice the rebuild the server.
And one more thing when I try to use the repair option I couldn't able to get all the things back to normal. The database engine service, replication is not working but SSAS, SSRS things are showing successfully repaired.

Dear all,
I face a problem about linking the SQL express database. Originally, I work with my desktop at home. However, I need to take it outside with my laptop. Once I copy whole project to my laptop and use Visual Studio 2008 again to develop. The following message appear when I run some pages that need to connect the database:
"An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file E:d drivedocAssignmentProgramming ProjectProgrammingSourceApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share. "
How can I solve this problem? I think it is an absoultue address and logical address problem. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Eric Chan

I have a question regarding moving databases within the same server but to a different drive. Using the 'Alter Database' query transaction procedures within the SQL Server Management Studio, I'm able to take a user database offline and move it. However, when using the Alter transaction to bring the database back online, I get errors. There was also an attempt that seemed to work, but the app that uses the database through ODBC can't see the database that was moved and errors out.
How can databases be moved and connections re-established within the same server?
Thanks...

I have moved my databases to 2000 to instance of 2005 on the same server.
Now i set databases offline in 2000 as i did upgrade use backup & recovery method.
& my connection string
Password=test;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=test;Initial Catalog=databasename;Data Source=ipaddress
i was using above connection string to connect when using 2000 databases form applications in the production machine
I get the following error when i am running my applications now after moving to 2005
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
IS it because i have two server on one server or
What do i need to do in order to fix this....tried several thing by searching nothing worked out..
Let me know
thanks

I'd like to hear the "best practices" for moving databases from one server to another with minimal impact (minimum downtime) to users. The database is about 1GB, but growing at an average rate of 5MB/day.
Only 2 databases on that source server are to be moved. There are other databases on that server that shouldn't be affected as much as possible.
Any good suggestions?
I'm sorry, but I'm a complete newbie to SQL Server although I'm very familiar with Exchange/NT stuff. Got thrown this responsibility lately :(

We are going to be moving over about 29 databases from one server to another
(space issues). The new database will then be renamed to the old server name.
The database sizes range from 100mb to 29gig.
I was planning on doing a dump/restore which will take over 3 hours to dump and
12-15 hours to restore.
Our NTAdmin suggested shutting down the SQL Servers and just copying over the
data/log files to the new box and then bringing up the new server.
Had anyone ever tried this?
What are the effects on files over 22gig?
Should I also copy over the model/msdb/master database files?
What other potential problems should I be aware of?
My fear is that I start copying them over, run into a problem half way through
and then
have to revert back to the dump/restore method.
Any help would be appreciated, we are scheduled to do the move this weekend.
Thanks again
Susan

I was hoping to get some input on the best approach for the following situation:
I have been tasked with moving several SQL server databases from one SQL server to another to free up the hardware on the first one for another purpose. The SQL server is version 6.5 and has service pack 5 on it.
I have installed SQL server on the server where the data is going to end up with the same code page and sort order as the current server.
For my next step I was going to create devices for the databases on the new server, then add the databases to the devices. I was going to use the "Create database for Load" statement. Then I was going to load a transaction dump from each database on the old server into the new database on the new server. Is there anything else I will need to do? Will I have to do anything with the master database or is it sufficient to do what I have stated above?
Can anyone direct me to a good technet article or white paper on this process? I did find a short page in SQL books on line which helped a bit.
Thanks in advance,
CK.

I have to periodically migrate a copy of database on a production web server down to a web server used by some developers. The names of the databases are different, as are the underlying file names and locations. I use Management Studio to do this. we're running 2008 R2.
I make a backup on the production server, then move the file to the developer server. On that server, I take the db offline, then restore the file into the proper database. Before I start the restore I change the files to match the default names for the target database. Then I do the restore.
The main practical problem I have is that the security ends of breaking for some logins, but not for others, and I don't know why. I use the same login names for users on the source and destination machines, but sometimes they don't come through cleanly, and I have to recreate them. It's always the same users that break. I can fix them, but I'd like to understand why some users come across while others don't.Also, what's the best way to move a db from one engine to another, with a name change along the way? And how do you do it if you have different physical environments and different paths for the actual underlying files between the two systems?

Hi,
I just got hosted on a site which supports .Net, and my forms seem to be coming up okay. I have a database residing on my computer that accompanies the pages I have written.
I was told that I need to export my database to their site, and I have an ip address to use. Can anyone tell me how I would go about with this export ?
Do I just add the site to my Enterprise Manager ?
Thank you for any input.

Hi!
I have a SQL 2000 server with a lot of databases (about 100) and I would like to move a great deal of them (+/- 50) to a new SQL 2005 server. All the databases I would move has the same word in the database name. Let's say the all include "Customer" in the Database name.
It would be a huge job to detach and attach every db manually. Is there a method that can detach db's based on a query againts the master db with a select on the name of the db?
If so, I also need to attach the db's on the new server with a script after moving the files to a new location.
Any good ideas?

I've got an old version of SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer Edition on an old PC which is failing. I've got a new PC and have put SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition onto it. Now before the old machine completely dies, I've gotten into SSMS on the old machine and did a backup of the databases I want to save. I've moved the .BAK files to where I could get to them from SSMS on the new machine. I've gotten into SSMS and tried to do a restore the database to my new machine. However I'm getting an error that does not make any sense to me.
The database I'm I've backed up is named JobSearch. When I backed it up, that was the only database I had selected. Like I said I copied the .BAK to the new machine. Got into SSMS, told it that I wanted to restore the JobSearch database, telling it where I wanted to put it, and it then immediately fails with a:
"Restore of database 'JobSearch' failed. System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Logical file 'VideoLibrary_Data' is not part of the database 'JobSearch'. Use RESTORE FILEISTONLY to list the logical file names."
Well of course VideoLibrary isn't "the logical file". But neither did I select VideoLibrary (which is a database I also want to move, but I'm doing one at a time). So what in heck is going on here? Why is it complaining about a database I haven't even selected to back up? Why, when I check everything on the old machine, it's backing up JobSearch, but on the new machine it sees VideoLibrary?

Any advice that can be offered on this subject would be much appreciated.
We are debating whether to backup/restore the replicated databases or simply copy the mdf and ldf files accross and Attach them. The question is whether the replication information is retained for the publshed objects when the files are copied across? Alernatively, must we use backup/restore with KEEP_REPLICATION set for the restore?
We also plan to back up and restore the distribution, publication, master, msdb etc databases as well as rename the SQL Server to have the same name as the original.
Do these things need to happen in any particular order?
Does the timing of the renaming of the SQL Server matter?
At least some of the these operations (restoring the master database and renaming the SQL Server) need to be done in single user mode. Is is best to restore all the system databases in single user mode?
Lastly, is it necsssary (from a SQL Server point of viewpoint) to rename the computer to have the same name as the SQL Server?
Thanks,
Dick Campbell

The box I am trying to connect to is running two instances of SQL Server.
There is a SQL Server 2005 instance which is the default. There is a SQL Server 2000 instance which is named 'SQLSERVER'.
I can connect to the SQL Server 2000 instance no problem:<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPCSQLSERVER;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
However, I am having trouble connecting to the Default SQL Server 2005 instance. I have tried:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
but it doesn't work. I have tried explicitly setting SQL Server 2005 to use port 1434 (as SQL Server 2000 is running on port 1433), and then used:
<add key="ConnectionString" value="server=MYPC,1434;database=mydatabase;user id=****;password=****" />
but this doesn't work either.
Am I mssing something here? Any help much appreciated
Thanks...

I'm using SQL Server 2012 and was attempting to move the msdb, model, and tempdb databases to a new location and accidentally gave their log files an mdf extension instead of ldf when providing the new pathfilename. After the server wouldn't start I checked my script and noticed my error. I have good backups of my system databases, so I was hoping to start the MSSQLSERVER service in single-user mode (using the -m startup parameter) and then just restore master using sqlcmd.
Unfortunately the service was starting but I couldn't connect via sqlcmd using any of the three protocols (it said the server was not found or not accessible each time). I also tried using the dedicated Admin connection but I got the same error. Then I went into the Templates folder and copied the master, msdb, model, and tempdb templates into the DATA folder and tried to restart SQL Server but still no luck (now the MSSQLSERVER service won't start at all). Is there an easy way to fix this mess without having to reinstall from the setup application?

im trying to measure the amount of CPU used in a backup and restore, using the SQL Server Databases: Backup Restore counter in Perfmon.
I can select The counter, but it does not let me select an instance database to monitor.
see image:
I have 3 instances on my machine, 2 sql 2005 and 1 sql 2008. why do these instances not appear? i dont know how to set up this monitoring.
if i type LOCALHOST or 127.0.0.1 in the "Select counters from computer" text box i can see all databases under my sql 2005 instances, but not the ones under the 2008 instances. I have disabled all sql server 2005 services and can confirm none of the sql 2008 instance databases are showing up.
this is a huge problem, especially for when i start stress testing sql server 2008 in preperation for upgrading.
anyone any ideas on why i cannot see sql server 2008 instances in perfmon? I have tried from a remote pc also with the same results.

My existing SQL server is an old box that can no longer cope with the load. I need to replace it with a brand new box.
I am looking for a comprehensive set of steps that I could follow to ensure that the transition to the new server goes well.
I'm looking to transfer all my user databases but I'm not so sure whether I have to backup and restore my system databases to the new server as well.
I want to name the new server the same as the old server since I will be taking the old server out of production but I'm not sure whether I should rename the server AFTER I move over all the database and how that would affect SQL. Or should I first rename the old server, remove it out of the domain, then name my new server with the same name as my old server, and then proceed with the SQL installation and the moving of the databases.
Also, I do have a maintenance plan, DTS packages and some jobs set up on my old server that I would also like to move to the new server.
Is there a web page that explains all the steps in granular detail ?

Ok guys, I am trying to install Sql server 2005 on Vista but I am still stuck with this warning message in the System Configuration Check during Sql server 2K5 installation :
SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility (Warning)
Messages
* SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility
* Some components of this edition of SQL Server are not supported on this operating system. For details, see 'Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2005' in Microsoft SQL Server Books Online.
Now, I know I need to install SP2 but how the hell I am going to install SP2 if Sql server 2005 doesn't install any of the components including Sql server Database services, Analysus services, Reporting integration services( only the workstation component is available for installation)?
Any work around for this issue?
P.S.: I didn't install VS.NET 2005 yet, can this solve the problem?
Thanks.
