Why do I leave my DB in Restoring State after attaching to the instance? Could not this fire a redo activity on Transaction Log?
Or, How does sql server undo all uncommitted transactions on active vlf during recovery?
I am actually very new to SQL databases, I have received an .MDF and .LDF for a database of size 50 GB...
I need to create or attach these files to a new database and extract some columns then convert them to .text or .csv...
I've two instances(Default, Named[dynamicsFINANCE]) running on SQL server 2014. However, when I try to connect to named instance say (dynamicsFINANCE) using SQL authentication from local SSMS, I get below error message:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
I assigned a static port number to the named instance [dynamicsFINANCE] 1450. I also setup the firewall rule to allow access to Port 1450.
I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 2 node cluster with SQL Server 2014 FCI installed. Data files are on a separate Windows Server 2012 R2 file server. Data files share has been permissioned to the SQL Server service and SQL Server Agent service accounts as Full Control. NTFS Permissions are Full Control.
When I try to attach a database
CREATE DATABASE AdventureWorksDW2012
ON (FILENAME = 'apricotmssql_VIOLETMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATAAdventureWorksDW2012_Data.mdf')
FOR ATTACHI get this error:
Msg 5120, Level 16, State 101, Line 4
Unable to open the physical file "apricotmssql_VIOLETMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATAAdventureWorksDW2012_Data.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".
If I log into the file server (called APRICOT) and look at the NTFS permissions they all look good. I have also reapplied the NTFS permissions from the root folder down.
EDIT
If I log on to one of the nodes in the cluster as the SQL Server service account and navigate to apricotmssql_VIOLETMSSQL12.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATA and copy and paste the data file, it works fine.
EDIT2:
If I log on to the file server and Enable Inheritance at the root level, then Replace all child objects with inheritable permission entries from this object, I get this error:
User Account Control settings on all nodes and the file server are set to Never notify

Until yesterday I had a server running SQL Server 2008 R2 - with all the SQL Server DB files on an attached disk array.
The server died - so I attached the disk array to a new server - and all the DB data files are visible there.
I installed SQL Server 2014 on the new server and am trying to work out how to point it at the existing database files.
I also have backups of the DB's - but they will take ages to copy over and restore - so it would be much easier to just use the db files. Should I restore the master db first (easy as its small)?
While doing the restore of the database is it better to copy the backup file locally and restore or restore from the network path is good option?
What kind of the problems we may get restoring the backup from the network path?
With all the new functionality, can 2014 now restore a single table from a standard backup without using any third party tools? I have looked, but can't see this listed as a feature (though that doesn't mean it's not there, maybe I've just missed it).
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to restore a SQL 2008 db on SQL 2014 instance with out upgrading the database(changing compatibility level).
This database has full text enabled. I see one full text catalog an 2 full text indexes.
Do I need to worry about anything or can I perform a clean restore from the backup with full text import?
Do I need to rebuild the catalog in this case?
How to set up a specific aliased instance name. I have installed two identical named instances on a server called LONPOCSQL. The instance names are FINPROD and FINREP, so when connection to them remotely I connect to LONPOCSQLFINPROD or LONPOCSQLFINREP. My question is how can I configure it so that I can connect remotely to the instances in by referencing them as FINPRODFINPROD and FINREPFINREP?
The reason for this is that I need to replace a very old system where the applications connect to the sql servers by referencing them as FINPRODFINPROD and FINREPFINREP respectively. I'm trying to set up a 2-node SQL alwayson AG cluster for HA+DR with one server in the prod DC and the other in DR. I need both instances to live one the same box.
1. As far as I'm aware SQL Aliases only work when the connection is local, remote connections fail
2. I can't create a DNS alias called "FINPRODFINPROD" and point it at a listener name as slashes "" are not allowed in DNS CNAMEs
3. My old boss once built a SQL 2008 R2 failover cluster with two instances on it called "lonsql40lonsql40" but there is no documentation on how he did it and I can't find anything on the web
I have built a SQL 2014 Always on Cluster. I need to create three Availability groups and listeners in the same instance. Do I need 3 separate IP address for each listener or one IP address can be shared for all 3 Listeners ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedPlan to setup AG on in both default and named instance of two nodes. Can we do it ?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an existing 2012 default SQL Express. It's set up on a VPS managed by a third party. I have an administrator account on this 2012 Windows server. I'm not much of a sysadmin or a DBA but I get around. ;)
I've installed a new NAMED instance on this VPS and can not connect to it with client tools (SSMS). If I remote in, I can connect this way.
What steps might a seasoned DBA expect to make when getting a new named instance ready for the world.
Assign a port? Check the port?
Open the firewall for the port?
Will this new named instance listen on a different port than the previously installed SQL Express instance?
Say I have 2014 AlwaysOn setup and working:
SQLNode1 ->Instance01
SQLNode2 ->Instance02
When I setup my listener: ListenerA...Do I need to use the instance name in it?
ListenerAInstance01 or ListenerAInstance02 depending on which SQLNode is the "active" availability group?
Am I better off to use the same instance name for both nodes, since my goal is to have all databases on both instances in the same availability group and sync'd? When SQLNode1 migrates over to SQLNode2 I will need to update the instance name in my connection string on the listener from ListenerAInstance01 to Instance02? When I connect with SSMS do I just use: ListenerAInstance01 (or 02)?
I need to create a named instance on a sql cluster.
How do I perform this? Is it as simple as creating a named instance on a standalone machine? Is there anything I need to consider?
I try to connect from a pc to a SQL Server on another pc. Both pc’s are in a workgroup. I want to connect from a Windows Forms application to a named instance on the other computer. By now I have been able to connect from one pc to SQL Server on the other with tcp:smurfin, 52782.
I want to be able to use servernameinstancename (instead of portnumber) to make a connection in a Windows Forms application.
I’ve checked / tried te following:
•In the properties of the instance, tab Connections, the option Allow Remote Connections is enabled
•In Configuration Manager: TCP is enabled
•The service SQL Server Browser is started
•On the tab IPAddresses, in the section IPAll, there is NO portnumber for TCP Port. And TCP Dynamic Ports has the nummer 52782
•I have created un inbound rule for port 52782 and also for 1434 (SQL Server Browser). And to be on the save side: a rule for 1433 as well.
•Restarted the service
If I run the following code in SQL Server, that same port number (52782) is returned:
EXEC xp_ReadErrorLog 0, 1, N'Server is listening on', N'any', NULL, NULL, 'DESC'
GO
SELECT local_tcp_port
FROM sys.dm_exec_connections
WHERE session_id = @@SPID

How you are handling the replication of the many instance-level objects/items (logins, linked servers, server roles, database mail, operators, on and on) to the replicas in an AlwaysOn topology.
I'm especially curious about DBAs managing larger SQL Server environments. In my current environment, we have approximately 80 production SQL instances containing about 650 databases that require high availability and disaster recovery.
We use mirroring today and have a solid, home-grown solution for replicating the instance-level items from production to disaster recovery. AlwaysOn changes things a bit since we'll have multiple replicas and of course the database could be active on any one of those at any time. So my concern is about instance-level items being created in one instance but never deployed to the other instances participating in the AG group.
I changed the Port of my named instance to use static port but still error log is giving two values ,why??
spid15sServer is listening on [ 'any' <ipv6> 50152].
spid15sServer is listening on [ 'any' <ipv4> 50152].
ServerServer is listening on [ ::1 <ipv6> 57518].
ServerServer is listening on [ 127.0.0.1 <ipv4> 57518].
Looking for query that lists all databases, in an instance, that are not accessed before a given date (e.g., not accessed before December 31, 2014)?
View 6 Replies View RelatedBasically the question is, which number should I pick?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow you would calculate the average read/write latency experienced by a SQL Server instance during a specific time window in order to monitor this for multiple instances. From this MSDN blog, I know that you have to take multiple samples and do some calculations to get the correct latency.
[URL] ...
However, the SQLServer:Resource Pool Stats object tracks these numbers per resource pool and we want to get one number for the whole server. Since there can be a different base value for each resource pool, you can't simply sum the numerator values together. Here's some sample data from a server that illustrates the problem.
object_name counter_name instance_name cntr_value cntr_type
SQLServer:Resource Pool Stats Avg Disk Read IO (ms) default 307318919 1073874176
SQLServer:Resource Pool Stats Avg Disk Read IO (ms) Base default 25546724 1073939712
SQLServer:Resource Pool Stats Avg Disk Read IO (ms) internal 2045730 1073874176
SQLServer:Resource Pool Stats Avg Disk Read IO (ms) Base internal 208270 1073939712
I'm thinking I would need to do some sort of weighted average, but I'm not sure if that will result in the correct value. Here's the formula I am thinking about using currently before doing the calculation over time
((default * default[base]) + (internal * internal[base]))/(default[base] + internal[base])
Then to do the calculation over time, I'd use the changes in the calculated numerator and denominator to get the average.
Does this sound like to correct way to get this value? Is there a good way to verify?
I did tried the encryption on server "A" for database "AdventureWorks2012". Then I tried to restore to server "B". There was the certificate issue, and I thought "of course : it's encrypted ! Let's deactivate it". So here I go "ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 SET ENCYRPTION OFF".I look at sys.databases : not encrypted.I backup using no encryption, I verify using msdb.dbo.backupset : not encrypted.
I move my backup to my other server where encryption was never configured (so no certificate, nothing...), and I have the error :
Msg 33111, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Cannot find server certificate with thumbprint '0xFA130E58C999C4919B8975999C83A75A403B11D8'.

I want to set up a database role so that users can use sp_readerrorlog through SSMS. It does a check on membership in the securityadmin role.
I have tested it and can see you can grant execute on xp_readerrorlog but the SSMS GUI uses sp_readerrorlog.
I thought I could create a user/certificate and add the signature to sp_readerrorlog but it's not permitted (likely because it's not a normal database object).
So the other solution is to add the users to the securityadmin role but then explicitly deny alter any login (best done with a custom server role in 2012+ but otherwise just manually in 2008). I tested this out and it works, I'm not able to alter any logins or increase my own permissions, I also did a check of what's reported from fn_my_permissions(null, null) and it shows minimal permissions like I'd expect.
The database in Mirrored server is always in the state of restoring only.
the database in mirrored server is restored with norecovery
then we started mirroring.
the status of mirroring is successfull and is synchronized.
but the Mirrored server is always in the state of restoting
not allowing use to open the database.
could any one know why this problem is comming and give some solution for this problem so that the mirrored database can be accessible opened and queryed to really verfiy that the changes made in principal database is mirrored to Mirrored database.
Hi There
Can U help me?
Have a MDF file from SQL7 and I attempt to attach the databse to sql 2000.
However, keep getting this error when Accessing the database.
Cannot Open Database 'dbname' from version 524. Upgrade database to latest version.
Is there a work-around to solve this problem
Thanks in advance
If I create a database in SQL Express and then copy the MDF/LDF files and attach them to a machine running SQL Server 2005 Standard - will this new database have SQL Express limitations?
Are there good reasons not to do this and create the database in SQL Server Standard using scripts generated from the SQL Express instance instead?
Basically, I'm setting up a merge replication between Standard and SQL Express for a common database and I figure attaching a copy of the database created in SQL Express is the fastest way to get this started.
Installed SQL Server 2014 CU1. While testing sp_send_dbmail I noticed the query results, when attached are cut off or truncated. Max file size has been 64k -65k. I set the max file size to 104857600 and set @query_no_truncate = 1.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHi guys, right now I am having insufficient hard disc space at the secondary server (Mirror side) due to the large db that I have. Therefore, I get a new HDD on the server (Assuming located at drive G) and would like to shift the current mirroring db to that new drive. Is it possible for me to do that ? Hope able to get any suggestion from here ASAP. Thanks.

I noticed that after a SQL AlwaysOn failover, one of the DB in the secondary replica is stuck in Restoring state. The primary replica shows that it is in a synchronized state. These are the error logs from SSMS. How do I trace the cause of the problem?

We have mirroring setup for 5 dbs, 4 of which are synchronized and 1 which is in "synchronizing" state on the principal and "restoring" state on the mirror. Mirroring for all dbs has been working fine for the past several months and we have a witness that has allowed automatic failover in the past without problems.
This database has several bulk inserts performed throughout the day and am sure there is some latency due to the size of these transactions.
Not sure as to why this is happening all of a sudden, but the db in question has been in this state for the past 12 hrs. I checked the mirroring status on the principal and it states that it is "synchronizing: data is being transferred from principal to mirror", but the mirror server states that db is in "restoring" state. Can anyone suggest as to how I can get the database on the mirroring server to get back to "mirror, synchronizing/restoring..." state? Or suggest on how I can troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance.
I inherited a lot of Servers to upgrade to 2014 to include an SSRS Server.
The encryption Key was never backed up and it seems that no one knows what the password is?
Do I have to manually load the reports? There are a lot of Reports.

moving to a new sql server box because of a problem with the SAN its connected to.
started my named instance in single user mode and restored master. sqlserve.exe -c -m -s ovops
now the instance won't start. tried starting it with the -t3608 switch.. won't start!!
Its because my drive configuration is different on the new server than it was on the old server, I cannot start the instance because it is expecting model, msdb, temdb and all of the user databases on drives that don't exist?? what can I do?????
