I want to to move all database log files from drive E to F .
There are more than 10 databases so I don’t wanna move them 1 by 1 .
At the moment I use detach – attach method .
-Detach db
-Move log file
-Attach db
How do I do this massively in one go ?
I am trying to create a job using power-shell script to move the backup files from one folder to another. I am using Ola Hallengren script for backups. Ola hallengren created a common backup folder with sub-folders for databases and even more sub folders for Full and Log backups. My goal is to move full backups, which are older than a month and save them in a different drive along with the same folder structure. I was able to move the first set of backups without any problem, but I can't move anymore files and keep getting this error even when I try to overwrite the previous file with the force statement:
Move-Item : Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
At line:5 char:9
+ Move-Item $i.FullName C:Test -force
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : WriteError: (C:BackupVALIDATIONgcommon:DirectoryInfo) [Move-Item], I
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MoveDirectoryItemIOError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.MoveItemCommand
Here's the script that I used to move the first set of files:
foreach ($i in Get-ChildItem C:BackupVALIDATION)
{
if ($i.CreationTime -lt ($(Get-Date).AddMonths(-1)))
{
Move-Item $i.FullName C:Test
}
}
I have a client that has POS software called Restaurant Pro Express (RPE) from www.pcamerica.com
Their old POS computer had a hardware failure, but I was able to attach the hard-drive to another computer and recover the data. RPE uses a MSSQL database system. However, my client doesn't seem to make backups very often - the last one is dated January 5, 2015.
I was able to copy the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server folder over which contained the instance as well as all the data files - and has up-to-date information. The instance in the recovered Microsoft SQL Server folder was called MSSQL.1. I installed the RPE software on their new computer, and it too now has an instance called MSSQL10_50.PCAMERICA. The new computer is using MSSQL 2008 R2, while I believe the old computer would have been using MSSQL 2005.
Can someone lend some assistance in this? It sounds like it should beable to be done.We have a large replicated database in SQL 2000. We need to move themdf and ldf files to a location on another drive.Will doing this affect or break replication in any way? Is there anyway to prevent this?Thanks in advance.Glenn DekhayserVoyant Strategies

I just notice that my MASTER database has some user tables and user SP ..and I am thinking to move them to 1 new user database but I am worried it will break something ..
What should I do ?
Moreover I wonder why Transaction log of MASTER can be full ( The recovery model is simple ) It should be fine , isn’t it?
We have a query (a few actually) which runs for about 30 secs via Siebel 6 and the same query takes on 1 or 2 secs in Query Analyser, consistently. Naturally this performance problem is causing issues. We're wondering if the App isn't using the same execution plan, or using the indexes or....
It might be worth noting that the query returns 1 or no rows.
(I can add the query and more detail if anyone really, really wants :rolleyes: )
The devlopers have created a VB app which mimmics to app running the query and we've put it through proflier, results..

Siebel Query 28300 3661280 23984
It seems a high number of reads there, and the result from QA is SO much faster.
Any ideas welcome, thanks.

SQL SERVER 2008R2
The number of files to retain for SQL Server Logs is set to 99. When I expand the SQL Server Logs node in SQL Server Mgt Studio it shows the current log file through Archive#49. The oldest archive file is dated 2015/05/26. If I select that archive in SQL Server Mgt Studio it shows me the details and entries of that archive file. Yet when I go to the directory on SQL Server for the log files there are only the 5 most recent files. I have searched for '.trc' files on the entire drive and have found no other files.
How can SQL Server Mgt Studio show archive files that have no corresponding archive file in the directory that is supposed to contain the log files?

1. We receive CSV file to our drive on a daily basis.
2. The csv file name has the last 8 digits formatted with the yyyymmdd. For example, the file name might be abcdef_20150226.csv This means it will be our CSV file for today, Thursday, February 26, 2015.
3. There are a lot of files in this directory.

Add the constraints (or expression) that will copy the files from this directory to another directory that have the date equivalent to Monday only.

Can someone tell me how to move the log file for a database from one drive
to anoyher. I want to keep the data on one drive and the logs on another
so I need to move the log files to another drive.
Thanx, Kelly
Without restoring the database, has anyone written a slick little piece of code that moves a file existing on on filegroup to another newly created filegroup without doing it from a restore.
The purpose of doing this is to get rid of one data file and placing the data into the data file we are retaining. We have some more physical file space and are moving data into one data file and one transaction log file.
We have already ran the DBCC SHRINKFILE with EMPTYFILE to move the data,
We have already ran the ALTER DATABASE statement but here, because the filegroup is identified as PRIMARY in the sysfilegroup table, we can not REMOVE the data file because of indexes relating to the PRIMARY filegroup.
So if I could ALTER DATABASE and create a bogus filegroup and move the data file which I want to get rid of into the bogus filegroup, I could ALTER DATABASE with REMOVE filegroup and solve the situation.
Does anyone know of an easier way to do it other than BACKUP database and RESTORE database.....please help!!!
Thanks,
Daimon
I am trying to reorganise the log files on a server, (long story short they are fragmented so I want to shrink and reset the initial size and growth) and I am unable to shrink them. When I run the following:
use test
DBCC SHRINKFILE(test_log, TRUNCATEONLY)
--or
use
DBCC SHRINKFILE(test_log,2, TRUNCATEONLY)
I get the following message:
Msg 8985, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Could not locate file 'test_log' for database 'test' in sys.database_files. The file either does not exist, or was dropped.
I get this message for every database on the server. I got the logical name of the file using sp_helpfile and have checked it against sys.masterfiles, sys.database_files and sys.sysaltfiles, all match up and confirm the name 'test_log'.
I rebooted the server last night and was able to shrink the first couple of .ldf's I tried so I presumed it was fixed. This morning when I try again i get the sanme error, I don't see anything in the SQL server or system logs that indicates a change.
I am able to add new log files and remove log files, however if I add a new log file (test_log2) and then try and truncate that file I get the same error.
I am new to SQL and I haven't written any scripts in the past. I thought I would give it a go. Basically, I am trying to write a script that will check if a database has more than one log files, free the VLFs that belong to the secondary log files and then remove them. I created a database named rDb as this link suggests and followed the steps.
[URL] ....
It works. However, I want to have to run just 1 script that will do the entire job. This is what I have gotten so far and it doesn't work:
create table #tempsysdatabase(
File_id int,
file_guid varchar(50),
type_desc varchar (20),
data_space_id int,
name nvarchar (50),
state int,
[Code] ....
We have a large database with a small number of large tables in it (and a larger number of SMALLER tables), and it is a publisher for a transactional replication scenario. When I create a snapshot to initialize a new subscription, I notice with the larger tables that sometimes it generates multiple files in the snapshot folder, usually in multiples of 16, and numbers them like this:
MyTable_3#1.bcp
MyTable_3#2.bcp
...
MyTable_3#16.bcp
With other tables, I'll get just one LARGE snapshot file, named:
MyOtherTable_4.bcp
In the latter case, the file can be very large (most recent is 38GB).
In both cases, the subscription will eventually be initialized, but the smaller files will generate separate log entries every few minutes in the Replication Monitor, showing 'Bulk Copied data into 'MyTable' (34231221 rows)', whereas the larger table will generate only ONE log entry, showing 'Bulk coping data into table 'MyOtherTable', and it may take a couple of hours before there is anything else showing...except for an entry saying, 'The process is running and is waiting for a response from the server.'
My question is: what would be the difference between the two tables that would result in one generating MULTIPLE snapshot files, the other only a single, much larger one? The only difference I can see in the table definition is that the one generating multiple files has a clustered index, whereas the others do not.
Any good starting point to understand for a specific db, how many max VLFs are good to have so that it does not cause long startup or backup times?
Also, I need some calculation so that I can identify a best growth parameter I will setup for each database ?
I'm seeing the below msg in errorlog and curious to know the changes (right sizing/growth) to be done? As of now 100 MB of log file growth value is set (refer: [URL] ....)
Database BizTalkMsgBoxDb has more than 1000 virtual log files which is excessive. Too many virtual log files can cause long startup and backup times. Consider shrinking the log and using a different growth increment to reduce the number of virtual log files.
Can I move a database from one server to another server using QA?
EXEC sp_detach_db @dbname = 'IISLOG'
EXEC sp_attach_single_file_db @dbname = 'IISLOG',

Or would I need a tape backup to move this database to another server?

I am looping a set of .txt files in a folder using foreach.

How can i do this? I want to use script to read the file extension and then move it to the error.

Im trying to upload 1000 txt files into one table in SQL. I'm using the following query, to upload one txt file at a time:
bulk insert [dbo].AAA_2013_2015

lastrow = ???,
fieldterminator = ';',
rowterminator = '0x0A')
I'm trying that the query skip the last row because gives me the following error:
Msg 4866, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The bulk load failed. The column is too long in the data file for row 1, column 17. Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".
know a command to skip the last row, something like lastrow= all-1...or something like that.
I also executed using MAXERRORS command...like this:
bulk insert [dbo].AAA_2013_2015

rowterminator = '0x0A')
does not recognize MAXERRORS command, also tried to put a number of error instead of max_errors.
There is a SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 Clustered Instance that has Transactional Replication. It is by no means a large replication setup in terms of data/article count. SQL Server was recently patched to SP3 and is current on Windows 2008 R2 Patches.
When I added a new article to replication (via 2014 SSMS GUI) it seems to add everything correctly (replication tables/procs show the new article as part of the publication).
The Publication is set to allow the snapshot to generate for just new articles (setting immediate_sync & allow_anonymous to false).
When the snapshot agent is run, it runs without error and claims to have generated a snapshot of 1 article. However the snapshot folder only contains a folder for the instance (that does have the modified time of the snapshot agent execution) and none of the regular bcp/schema files.
The tables never make it to the subscribers and replication continues on without error for the existing articles. No agents produce any errors and running the snapshot agent w/ verbose output provides no errors or insight into any possible issues.
I have tried:
- dropping/re-adding the article in question.
- Setting up a new Snapshot Folder
- Validated all the settings and configurations
I'm hesitant to reinitialize a subscriber since I am not confident a snapshot can be generated. Also wondering if this is related to the SP3 Upgrade, every few months new articles are added to the publication and this is the first time since the upgrade to SP3 that it has been done.
