I want Log shipping Status Through Mail. Last back up transaction in the day and last restoration trn file in the day...
We have log shipping for databases from production to back office (BO) environments for users to run reports. In preparation for moving a back office environment to a different server, we want to setup an addition log shipping environment, let’s call it BO2, same as the BO. One of the challenges we had was the amount of time it would take to get the full backup from production to BO2 due to the size of the database. It would take days just to transfer the full backup.
Solution:Let’s just say the database being logged shipped is DB123. Instead of using the full backup of DB123 from production, we use the mdf and ldf of DB123 from current log shipped database on the BO to setup the additional log shipping on BO2.
Steps:1.Setup the directory structure for the undo file (tuf) on the BO2 server same as the BO server.
Note: The undo can be moved to different drive after the log shipping is setup.
2.Stop SQL services on the BO server.
3.Copy the undo file (tuf), mdf, and ldf files of the log shipped database, DB123, from server BO to server BO2.
Note: Keep these files as main copies because they will be used multiple times. Do NOT copy files to where you’ll put the new database files.
4.After the files are copied, start SQL services on BO.
5.On the BO2 server, create an empty database DB123 with database name, file_id, logical names, physical names exactly the same as the ones on the BO server.
Note: Make the size of mdf and ldf small so it doesn’t take long to create the database.
6.Stop SQL Services on the BO2 server.
7.Overwrite the new mdf and ldf files of the empty database DB123 with the mdf and ldf files that were copied over from BO.
8.Start SQL services on BO2.
Note: If the file_id, logical names and physical names are not matching up, the database will be in suspect mode.
9.Do a backup of DB123 with COPY_ONLY.
10.Drop DB123 on BO2 after backup is complete.
11.Use the full backup from previous step to setup log shipping of DB123 on BO2.
Note: Below was the LiteSpeed syntax that was used
exec master.dbo.xp_restore_database @database = N'DB123' ,
@filename = N'F:SQL BackupsDB123_FULL.slsfull',
@filenumber = 1,@with = N'STATS = 10',
@with = N'STANDBY = N''C: MSSQLDataROLLBACK_UNDO_DB123.trn''',
@affinity = 0,@logging = 0
12.Stop SQL services on BO2.
13.Again, overwrite the mdf, ldf and undo file (tuf) of DB123 on server BO2 with mdf, ldf, and undo file (tuf) from BO.
14.Start SQL services on BO2.
15.Replay transaction log from PRD
Note: You can change the location of the undo file by copy the current undo file to the new location and point to new location in “STANDBY” parameter. DO NOT do cut and paste of undo file but do copy and paste.
It works on Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2) - 10.50.4033.0 (X64) . I have not tried it on SQL Server 2012 yet.
In steps that stop/start SQL services, you can bring the database offline/online.
In a way, this is doing detach/attach a log shipped database.
When trying to open the log shipping status report, I get an error: user must be in the master database. The jobs appear to be running correctly.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have some questions :
1.Is it OK to shrink Master, model ? the transaction log for those databases are full .
2.Is it OK to set the Recovery model of Database MODEL as SIMPLE ? at the moment it is in FULL recovery model and the transaction log is Full too
Script to find a value in all databases ? for example I want to find a value contain word “ SQL” in all databases so I will get the information in which database and which table it exists.
My script is only for finding a value in one database.
I would like to migrate around 15 databases in production server to the new production server. The biggest database is 80 GB .
Wondering is there any fastest way to do that with very low downtime ?
What I can think about is shrink databases files and perform attach – detach .
What are the potential risks of keeping data , log , tempdb backups etc in the same drive although in different folders ?

Hello
we have SQL instance which contains databases (A, B, C...). When ever i configured LS with Standby option, and i want complete restore of database A (Primary) to stand by A (Secondary), then logs will always going to restore...
but SQL server is taking a copy of the Backup like "GJ_Temp_data, GJ_Temp_log" as the default file names, for restore the DB Backups.
if i want to set up for the database B, it is taking "GJ_Temp_data, GJ_Temp_log" again for the database B, and giving error as "the files are already in use".
If i script the Log shipping setup while enabling for Database A, and make sure that i will enabling it for remaining databases B, C, D..
Please advice, and give us best experienceS for enabling LS FOR Multiple databases on the single SQL Instance.
Thanks in advance.
I have 2 sql2000 servers that i have log shipping setup on
On weekends the optimization plan runs creating some large log files that take several hours to restore
In the process most of the databases at the secondary server are marked suspect
Usually I restore the last backup manually and log shipping catches up, but this takes most of the week to do
Why are the databases mark as suspect.
And is there an easier way of fixing the suspect databases, I not sure if i should just run sp_resetstatus
Find unused databases in a instance or when last used or accessed?
I'm on SQL SERVER 2008 R2 64bit -enterprize
I need to find when the databse is last accessed.
I have a new problem with doing a restore of a number of databases using powershell. The script I'm using is based mainly on this one (Part 2 in particular): [URL] .....
The problem I'm having is around the RedgateGetDatabaseName function. My hunch is that its down to the different version of red gate and how sqlbackup works. Basically when the call is made to the function it is returning both the Database Name and the number of row's that the SQL command in the function has ran. I've tried to include a SET NOCOUNT ON at the start of the SQL command in the function but its still returning the now count.
Currently our database size is around 350G. It will grow up to 1.5 TB
We have the
Auto create statistics option :True,
auto update statistics option :True,
auto update statistics asynchronously option : False
at database level
we have a weekly job, update statistics running very long time. It is created through maintenance plan using the option full scan.
Previously they tested with sampling but instead of full scan running with the sampling effected the queries.
Is there option to avoid the long time job duration.
If we didn't run the statistics manually what will happen? How do you maintain statistics with large databases
I need to generate data models of all databases for an instance. How can I accomplish this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 2 databases: one for our intranet & another for our internet website.In the intranet database, we have a table called "Clients". A new client can be added in one of 2 ways:
1) One of our employees manually adds the client via the intranet
2) A new customer subscribes to our services via our website, thus becoming a new "client" (when subscribing online, we also add a record to an "Accounts" table located in our internet website database, but we'd also like to add a record to our intranet's Clients table as well).
In the client table is a field called "CreatedBy" which expects the UserId of whoever created the account. Again, this UserId can belong to either an employee via the intranet or a new customer via our internet website. how do I distinguish where the UserId in the dbo.Clients.CreatedBy field is coming from?
My 1st thought was to append a negative to the CreatedBy UserId# if it came from a customer via the website, but that just seemed too quirky (i.e. if an employee added a client and his UserId was '10', the Clients.CreatedBy would be '10'. If a customer subscribed via the website, the Clients.CreatedBy would be '-10'. Where customers can once again sign up online. So, I need a way to keep these databases separate but keep track of which db a user's coming from when we create a new Client record.
I am working on a task. Currently we are taking a database backup and keeping that backups in a folder. The backups doesn't have time stamp on it. My task is need to get the latest backup and copy that backups into some other server and then restore the database from there.I am planning to create SSIS package.Do we need script task for this task.How to get the .bak with latest create or moidified date. For now we doesn't have timestamp so need to go based on modified date?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWe have two databases with same schema and tables (same table names, basically main DB and a copy of the main DB). following is example of table names from 2 DBs.
CREATE TABLE #SourceDatabase (SourceColumn1 VARCHAR(50))
INSERT INTO #SourceDatabase VALUES('TABLE1') , ('TABLE2'),('TABLE3') , ('TABLE4'),('TABLE5') , ('TABLE6')
SELECT * FROM #SourceDatabase
DROP TABLE #SourceDatabase
CREATE TABLE #ArchiveDatabase (SourceColumn2 VARCHAR(50))
INSERT INTO #ArchiveDatabase VALUES('TABLE1') , ('TABLE2'),('TABLE3') , ('TABLE4'),('TABLE5') , ('TABLE6')
SELECT * FROM #ArchiveDatabase
DROP TABLE #ArchiveDatabase
We need a T_SQL statement that can create one view for each table from both the databases(assuming both databases have same number of tables and same table names). so that we can run the T_SQL on a thrid database and the third DB has all the views (one view for each table from the 2 DBs). and the name of the view should be same as the tables name. and all 3 DBs are on the same server.
the 2 temp tables are just examples, DBs have around 1700 tables each. so we ned something like following for each table.
CREATE VIEW DBO.TABLE1 AS SELECT * FROM [SourceDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE1] UNION ALL SELECT * FROM [ArchiveDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE1]
CREATE VIEW DBO.TABLE2 AS SELECT * FROM [SourceDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE2] UNION ALL SELECT * FROM [ArchiveDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE2]
CREATE VIEW DBO.TABLE3 AS SELECT * FROM [SourceDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE3] UNION ALL SELECT * FROM [ArchiveDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE3]
CREATE VIEW DBO.TABLE4 AS SELECT * FROM [SourceDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE4] UNION ALL SELECT * FROM [ArchiveDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE4]
CREATE VIEW DBO.TABLE5 AS SELECT * FROM [SourceDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE5] UNION ALL SELECT * FROM [ArchiveDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE5]
CREATE VIEW DBO.TABLE6 AS SELECT * FROM [SourceDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE6] UNION ALL SELECT * FROM [ArchiveDatabase].[dbo].[TABLE6]
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.
Is there a query or sp that I can pull all databases on the server along with their logical file names and physical file names?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was contacted by the SAN team to test backup/restore of larger databases using a split-mirror backup (BCV) or clone that is taken from production db server and copied to another sql box. They want to use this process once a week. I see the mounted drives with the data/log files. All looks good. Initially I attempted to attach the databases and received (Unable to open the physical file db.mdf Operating System Error 5 Access is denied). I manually granting SQLServerMSSQLUser$<computer_name>$<instance_name> on all of the physical files 20 total. That worked.
Since this will be weekly, the SAN team performed the copy again and now none of the databases can communicate with the newly copied files. NTFS permissions need to be set again. I'm getting (Operating System error 21: the device is not ready). Is there something that I'm missing in this process how the vendor BCV clones the data and SQL communicates with the copied files as I was thinking it would be more automated process?
Is there an easy way to compare the contents of objects between 2 different databases? For example, say I had 2 databases, My_DB_1 and My_DB_2, each with a SEC_User table. Say I wanted to do an object-to-object comparison between databases to see if there were any differences. Here's some sample SQL:
use My_DB_1
select * from sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities('dbo.sec_user', 'object')
use My_DB_2
select * from sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities('dbo.sec_user', 'object')
Say that the result sets above both returned a SEC_GetUser sproc object ref. Is there a way to write SQL that will compare the SEC_GetUser sprocs (and other objects in the above rowsets) from both databases? For example, if My_DB_1.SEC_GetUser returns an extra column in the result set than My_DB_2.SEC_GetUser then I'd like my comparison SQL to return a single column "IsDifferent" with SEC_GetUser as a row....
SQL Server 2012: Out of all the databases in the instance we have a requirement in which we need to maintain a high availability for the databases around (128). Our team believed log shipping will apt for this requirement but not sure on it's limitations, how many databases are allowed or supports this log shipping from a single instance.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am working towards automating the process of testing our backups. For the meantime, I do it all manually - I copy the backup files (full + transaction logs) to our test server and then run the restore script. Once database restored I run the DBCC CheckDB. The results of checkdb I manually upload to our Sharepoint portal as proof that the backup file is intact with no errors.
here are some ideas I have but have not yet tested:
Create a maintenance plan with each 3 jobs:
--> Powershell script to copy the files from Prod server to Test server - add this scrip to Job1
--> Powershell script to restore databases files - add this script to Job2
--> Run the DBCC in powershell (yet to find if possible in PS) - add this script to Job3
I would like to use seperate jobs as to get a report on the duration and status of each job
Would also like to get the results of the DBCC Checkdb as proof that no errors were found for upload to our Sharepoint portal. Dont know if possible via the job.
How to restrict resources usage based on individual Databases in resource governor?
We have many databases in one instance; I would like to restrict resource usage to each database respectively.
I created 2 pools as pool_login, pool_DBNAME, and 2 workload groups as GroupLogin,GroupDBNAME, and also the classifier function.After setup above, I use following statement to check what sessions are in each group .
Even if there are spids which are accessing database DBNAME, I can’t see that they fall into the group GroupDBNAME and pool pool_DBNAME.
SELECT s.group_id, CAST(g.name as nvarchar(20)), s.session_id, s.login_time, CAST(s.host_name as nvarchar(20)), CAST(s.program_name AS nvarchar(20))
FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions s
INNER JOIN sys.dm_resource_governor_workload_groups g
ON g.group_id = s.group_id
ORDER BY g.name
GO
Following is the code to create pool, group,classifier function:
USE master
GO;
-- Create a resource pool pool_login.
CREATE RESOURCE POOL pool_login
WITH
[Code] ....
-- Create a workload group to use this pool.
CREATE WORKLOAD GROUP GroupLogin
USING pool_login;
GO
CREATE WORKLOAD GROUP GroupDBNAME
USING pool_DBNAME;
[code]....
-- Register the classifier function with Resource Governor.
ALTER RESOURCE GOVERNOR WITH (CLASSIFIER_FUNCTION= dbo.rgclassifier_v1);
GO
I recently enabled log shipping on our production database, and I had initially accepted the default of 72 hours to delete copied logs. Well, i am running out of space quick, and I need to edit it to something like 6 hours.
When I try to disable log shipping in order to recreate it, or if I try to edit the secondary server settings when I am logged in as SA, or my windows account which has the sysadmin role assigned, I get an error that says:
Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role can perform this operation. Error 21089.
I've restarted the sql service, disabled and enabled the permission on my account, but for the life of me, i cannot get this to work!
