SQL Server 2008 :: Restore Database That Has CDC Enabled To Another Server That Does Not Support CDC?
Sep 15, 2015
UAT environment : SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 Enterprise Edition
SANDBOX environment : SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 Standard Edition
I have a database backup (.bak) that was taken from UAT environment that has CDC enabled on some tables. I want to restore that database into my SANDBOX environment which does not support CDC (because of standard edition). The restore process fails due to this incompatibility. Is there any way to restore without CDC (I dont CDC enabled on my SANDBOX; just my data from the backup) ?
I have a database used in SSRS in which I get a backup daily and restore it to database "DATA"
The issue I come across is SSRS has a datareader user(ssrsuser) for access to the "report store" web where users get reports
access gets erased on each restore. Can I add something to my job to restore this user after each restore or keep the settings?

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 I use a full and differential backup to restore to a point of time?
Or I have to use full and transaction log backups in order to do a point of time restore?
I found today when I tried to restore a db from another database at the point of time for example 3:10 pm, SSMS automatically select the full backup + the transaction backup that is done at 3:00 pm, but not select full + the differential backup I did at 3:12pm.
So I lost those records entered after 3:00pm.
I supposed it should use the differential backup and restore to 3:10. but it didn't.
I am new to DBA activities. I have a database name Sample_DB in SQL Server 2014. Â
This database has below files
LogicalName FileType FileGroup Sample_DB_Rows  ROWS Data PRIMARY Sample_DB_C1 ROWS Data Country1 Sample_DB_C2 ROWS Data Country2 Sample_DB_Docs FILESTREAM Data FileGroupForDoc
My database has 3 tables namely Tbl1, Tbl2 and Tbl3.
Tbl1 data stored in primary file group Tbl2 is partitioned based on a key column CountryId and stored in respective filegroup Tbl3 is enabled to store documents, files etc., and its data will be stored in filestream enabled filegroup.
Problem: I need to take backup of each file group separately. I need to restore the backed up file group separately. Is this possible, how to do it.
I have a DB with TDE enabled on Enterprise edition sql server 2008r2. I am actually planning on moving the DB to sql server 2008r2 standard edition. How to accomplish it properly. I don't think SQL Server 2008r2 standard edition support TDE. I can only think of turning off the encryption, but is there anything else I should know?
Sql server 2008R2 (SP2) Ent, PROD DB myDB was encrypted. During Release mistakenly (Vendor created script blames some settings in ...- actually does not matter) Decryption started (ALTER .. SET ENCRYPTION OFF) as we got from ErrorLog.
For some reason initial encryption scan was aborted and then mentioned command: ALTER ... OFF was issued again. What we have now (after 60 h of decryption- encryption took only 2.5 h)- is_encrypted = 0 in sys.databases, encryption_state = 5 (decryption in progress) in sys.dm_database_encryption_keys (percent_complete= 0). But it seems myDB is still encrypted- I made a backup of myDB and tried to read it (restore filelistonly) from other server (with no encryption)- failed- asked for key. Seems metadata was changed when initial scan during decryption started but then stuck and (if I am correct) decryption was never completed. Question- any similar experience? How we can fix meta- data, i.e. assuming that myDB is still encrypted we should have is_encrypted = 1 and encryption_state = 3 (encrypted).
For developers, we often have a need to backup a production database and restore it on local or integration machines. This production database is enabled for service broker and operates at a relatively high traffic level. When the database is backed up, the size is nearly 12GB; when SET NEW_BROKER is subsequently executed on the restored database, the size goes down to about 800MB. It appears that most of this is residing in the xmit queue. So, my question is: how best to backup a production database with queues activated, etc. without ending up with a 12GB backup?
We have a new database with cdc enabled on all of its tables. This causes the index maintenance task to fail with following message:
"Executing the query "EXEC DBName.dbo.IndexDefrag_sp" failed with the following error:  "The unique index 'PK_TableName' on source table '[dbo].[TableName]' is used by Change Data Capture.  To alter or drop the index, you must first disable Change Data Capture on the table.  The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly" We would like to run the index maintenance without losing the cdc data. We plan on installing SP2 on SQL Server 2008 R2 soon, would that solve the issue? Disabling the cdc prior to index maintenance and then re-enabling back upon completion; would delete the data as I found in most discussions, but we would like to retain it.Â
If I have a table with 1 or more Nullable fields and I want to make sure that when an INSERT or UPDATE occurs and one or more of these fields are left to NULL either explicitly or implicitly is there I can set these to non-null values without interfering with the INSERT or UPDATE in as far as the other fields in the table?
EXAMPLE:
CREATE TABLE dbo.MYTABLE( ID NUMERIC(18,0) IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, FirstName VARCHAR(50) NULL, LastName VARCHAR(50) NULL,
[Code] ....
If an INSERT looks like any of the following what can I do to change the NULL being assigned to DateAdded to a real date, preferable the value of GetDate() at the time of the insert? I've heard of INSTEAD of Triggers but I'm not trying tto over rise the entire INSERT or update just the on (maybe 2) fields that are being left as null or explicitly set to null. The same would apply for any UPDATE where DateModified is not specified or explicitly set to NULL. I would want to change it so that DateModified is not null on any UPDATE.
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded) VALUES('John','Smith',NULL)
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName) VALUES('John','Smith')
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded) SELECT FirstName, LastName, NULL FROM MYOTHERTABLE
When I try to create a subscription to my SQL Server Compact 3.5-database file, it gives an SqlCeException-message that says that the file is not enabled for replication. How do enable it?
My SQL Server Management Studio won´t connect to my compact server file right now, so that method is not an option for me right now.
I have a backup that comes to me nightly in the format of XXXX_YY_MM_DD.bak where the date is incremented each night the previous night backup is deleted when the next days is added so in general . I have only one in that folder. I wanted to setup a restore to run nightly
RESTORE DATABASE [XXXData] FROM DISK = 'C:folderExtractedDataapp_XXX_backup_15_01_28.bak' --location of .bak file WITH REPLACE
I would like to do something like
RESTORE DATABASE [XXXData] FROM DISK = 'C:folderExtractedDataapp_XXX_backup*.bak' --location of .bak file WITH REPLACE
While I'm asking.. In case there is an older one left behind(which shouldn't happen) I saw something about "LATESTFULL" but think its a redgate command?
SQL Transaction replication, specifically SQL backup and restore Transaction replication. So Scenario,
S1 = Primary Server 1 R1 = T - Replication Server 1 R2 = T - Replication Server 2
So we have S1 replicating to R1, and we want to build another subscriber which is R2.
Can I take the Replicated Database from R1, backup it up, then restore it to R2, and create the publication/subscription?
Will that work? if not, is there an easier way to avoid the snapshot? the reason i ask this is because we do have replication snapshot, but takes long. One of my Colleagues stated he tried this, however replication made duplicate rows on R2, which is why he had to use replication snapshot.
We use Netbackup for our SQL servers to backup and restore databases. I would like the service account used by Netbackup to have as limited permissions as possible. The account should be able to backup and restore a db without being able to read any of the content. Right now the account jobs fail if the service account is not in the sysadmin role.
I removed the account from sysadmin and limited it to dbcreator and public but the job fail.
How to setup an account so that people who know the service account password can't log in with that account and read db information?
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.
I make two full backups on Oct 1 and Oct 10. I want to restore the server to a state in Oct 5. So I just do as follows:
1.Perform a transaction log backup on the server on Oct 23. I have never backup transaction log in the past. 2. Restore the server with Oct 1 full backup with NORECOVERY option. 3.Try to restore to the point at Oct 5 12:00, with the transaction log.
But the restore fails and SQL Server said the transaction log does not contain the point. The point is too early. Why? Also my .LDF file is about 13G, but the transaction log backup is only 200MB. Why?
Hi, Please do inform me about the SQL server database capacity of handing the data.
Well, I€™m a designing Data warehouse database on SQL server 2005 my first time load of data is 9 million records for 30 years of period, and future growth of data would be almost 20 million for the up coming 10 years. Will this database would be able to handle that much of data.
if you can restore a database to Server B using Server A as the service. Meaning we would issue the command on Server A but somehow point to Server B as where we want the restore to happen.
The backup file would be in a location independent of both servers.
I get a general question about the feacture "Database Mirroring". Is it support by SQL Server Standard. Edition without SP1?? Of i still need to upgrade the server from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2005 with SP1?
Another question: are there any problem if the one machine(server) has installed SQL server 2005 Standard edition and the other with "Developer Editon".
I hope some one can answer my question. Thanks anyway!
I 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.
I have code that creates a SQL Mobile database on a server. It has worked in many environments, but I have one customer experiencing an issue. It will not create the database on their server. I would appreciate any thoughts.
The exact error message I get is "the operating system does not support encryption"
I am getting it on the line: SQLCeEngine.CreateDatabase()
Here is the code: SQLCeEngine = New SqlServerCe.SqlCeEngine(SQLConnectionString) ReturnValue += ": Declare new" SQLCeEngine.CreateDatabase() ReturnValue += ":Create" SQLCeEngine.Dispose() ReturnValue += ": Dispose"
Here is the error message I get from our application- the part after Err: is the actual error message from the system: Data Source = D:EVADATAWebServiceDownloads est;Password=test;Persist Security Info=False;: Declare new:Error!:Err:The operating system does not support encryption.
When I go into SQL Express and create a SQL Mobile database using it, it can be created. So, I have to believe it can be done on the server, but I don't know why the code can not do it. (e.g. FileConnect Object ExplorerServer Type: SQL Server compact Edition and create a database). The database is successfully created if I do it manually this way. It even creates fine if I select the 'Encrypt' button.
The machine is a Windows 2000 Server sp4 version 5.00.2195 SQL 2000 is installed SQL 2005 Express is installed I ran the SQLServerCE31-EN.msi file and it is installed. (I have also re-run and repaired it) I have also copied over the newest version of our code from scratch.
I've seen threads concerning this problem. I have followed the prescribed steps to fix the problem. I've set the db owner to sa, I've set compatibility to 2005. Still I can't get the diagram to function.
Hi All I have Computer is setuped SQL Server 2000 and SQL server 2005 when I restore SQL Server 2005 it's OK but when it's not OK when I restore in SQL Server 2000. The Error as follows:
This is a very urgent requirement of my client having 200 stores and one Head office. the HO has just installed SQL-Server 2005, The HO sends small backups of the data related to stock transfer which needs to be restored at stores. It was working find when both the HO and stores were SQL-Server 2000. but the process has come to a dead halt as the HO has SQL-Server 2005. It is not possible to convert the stores immediately. please help me out.
1) I can't get the 'copy database' function to work from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2005. I connect ok. Everything goes to the last step and then it fails.2) I cant get a SQL server 2008 backup to restore on SQL SEerver 2005 either. The only way I know that works is to script the creation of all tables then export and import. This does work. How can I get the 'entire' database, structure and data, from 2008 to 2005? ThanksSQL newbie.
I am task with identifying the source database name, id, and server name for each staging table that I create. I need to add this to a derived column on all staging tables created from merging same tables on different servers together.
When doing a Merge Join, there is no way to identify the source of data so I would like to see if data came from one database more than the other servers or if their are duplicates across servers.
The thing that bugs me about SSIS Data Flow task is there is no way to do an easy Execute SQL Task after I select my ADO.NET Source to get this information because my connection string is dynamic and there is no way of know which data source is being picked up at runtime.
For Example I have Products table on Server 1 and 2:
Server 2 has more Products and would like to join the two together to create a staging table.
Is it possible to view the Connection String information of a remote login/session? I want to know if the login is looking-up the database server via IP address, servername (NetBIOS name) or fully-qualified domain name (FQDN).
Using these DMVs I can get a lot of relevant information:
sys.dm_exec_sessions Program Name (eg. Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio), Client Interface Name (eg. .Net SqlClient Data Provider) sys.dm_exec_connections Net Transport (eg. TCP), Client Net Address and TCP Port
but not how the server's IP address was resolved. Is the connection string ever sent by the client to the server, or just used for DNS lookup?
Hi,We are planning to create a prod environment on our Dev server, bycreating a new named instance on DEV. Our prod server is running onsql enterprise edition 64bit and dev on SQl enterprise 32bit.Could we copy all the databases from prod server includingMaster,msdb,model onto our dev server, and bring up all the databases?Does Master store information about the version of SQl server?Thanks for your helpGG
