SQL Server 2008 :: Restore Number Of Databases Using Powershell
Aug 15, 2012
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 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'm trying to create a restore job for restore job in sql using PowerShell but I get the following error:
The job script encountered the following errors. These errors did not stop the script:
A job step received an error at line 1 in a PowerShell script. The corresponding line is 'Set-location "filelocation"'.
Correct the script and reschedule the job. The error information returned by PowerShell is: 'Cannot find path 'filelocation' because it does not exist.
' A job step received an error at line 3 in a PowerShell script. The corresponding line is 'get-childitem -Filter '*.trn' | Select FullName, LastWriteTime | sort LastWriteTime -Descending | ft -AutoSize'.
Correct the script and reschedule the job. The error information returned by PowerShell is: 'Cannot call method. The provider does not support the use of filters. '. Process Exit Code -1. The step failed.

When I execute the following command, I get the output truncated to 79 characters, including three dots (as an ellipsis, I suppose).
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'powershell.exe "Get-ChildItem D:Databazepaleontologieprilohyverejneg -filter g417*.* -recurse | select Fullname | out-string -width 255"'When I execute the core command directly in Powershell, whether the text or ISE version, it works correctly, with or without the out-string -width command.
Get-ChildItem D:Databazepaleontologieprilohyverejneg -filter g417*.* -recurse | select Fullname | out-string -width 255What does it take to get SSMS to not truncate my output strings?

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
}
}

Hi,I want to restore my databases from the old SQL Server installationinto a new installation of SQL Server. My new installation of SQLServer has different data path from the old installation. In addition,the data owners of some databases in the old SQL Server installationare not dbo. I have backups for all the databases in the oldinstallation SQL Server.Can anyone tell me how to restore my databases from the old SQL Serverinstallation into a new installation of SQL Server for my case? (Iwant to use new path for data and log files as well as keep the olddata owners in the restored databases.) Do I need to perform restoreoperation against my master database in the new installation of SQLServer? (The data path for a newly created database has been changedin the new installation of SQL Server.)My idea is:1. Create new databases whose names are the same with the databases ofthe old SQL installation. Set the new databases with the new data pathI want.2. Create new login accounts whose user names and passwords are thesame with the old login accounts. Assign appropriate permissions tothe new login accounts (e.g, the data owner for some database).3. Use Enterprise Manager to perform restore operation against thenewly created databases using the backups from the old SQL Serverinstallation.Please advice.Hai-Chu

Hi,
I've got a question regarding attaching/restoring of DBs and wonder if anyone could help me out.
Does SQL Server 2000 provide a functionality to attach/restore DB automatically? ie, some kind of polling service to attach/restore DB that were detached previously?
Thanks

Hello,
I would like to restore SQL Server Express and its databases from a tape backup to the same server. This is a disaster recovery senario.
I backed up the Master, Model, MSDB and my own test database using SQLCMD scripts. I have no problem restoring these using task manager on the server before the disaster recovery.
However, in my real disaster recovery testing, When the server is restored by tape drive (HP one button disaster recovery), I try to run my SQLCMD restore scripts in task manager and I cannot connect to the sql server. Also I cannot connect with Management studio. I have recieved the following error in event viewer.

My question is, what is the correct procedure to follow when I want to do a disaster recovery and restore SQL Server Express from tape backup using the Simple Backup method and scripts.
Is it always required to reinstall sql server express from the original program file or is it possible to reinstall from back up tape.
I know my backup and restore scripts work because I tested them on the server before I do the disaster recovery and rebuild that server from tape.
This is some kind of issue with SQL Server Express being restored by tape backup.
Any suggestions, thanks.

Hi everyone,
Hope somebody can help me on this.
I did a full BACKUP for two SQL databases using SQL Server Managament Studio. When trying to RESTORE the DBs, I get the following error:
"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)"
There are NO users using the application. These are DBs for the Portfolio Server 2007 application.
After exploring a little bit, I found that there are several "SLEEPING" processes with an "AWATING COMMAND" flag. The processes come from the Portfolio Server Application, maybe from previous sessions.
Can they be deleted? if so, would there be any serious consequences?
Thank you for your help on this.

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.

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 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.

We 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.

I have a simple table with 4 columns
(idAuxiliarPF(BIGINT+PK), pf(BIGINT+FK), Data(DateTime), Descr(NVARCHAR))that has aprox. 50k rows.
I need to create a partition of the data to join to another table, the query that i have:
SELECT
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY pf ORDER BY Data DESC, idAuxiliarPF DESC) AS RN,
pf,
Data,
Descr
FROM dbo.PFAuxiliar
WHERE Data <= GETDATE()This query takes around 40 seconds to return the results
If i remove the Descr column, the query it takes no time.
SELECT
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY pf ORDER BY Data DESC, idAuxiliarPF DESC) AS RN,
pf,
Data
FROM dbo.PFAuxiliar
WHERE Data <= GETDATE()I have two indexes, Clustered (idAuxiliarPF), NONClustered(pf).
How can i improve the performance of this query?

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?
