Iam new to Sql server.
I have a huge transactional table in sql server 2005 database which is updated very frequently. By mistake some update was on the table, which updated all the records in the table. Now I want to restore the table using Transaction log (as log maintains all the transactions). I dont have any backups available.How can I restore my database using transaction log. please suggest me the steps.
I am restoring database from Transaction Logs. I followed all the steps mentioned in the book. Just before the last step there are three options 1. Leave Database Operational. No Additional Logs can be Restored. 2. Leave Database Nonoperational But Able to Restore Additional Transaction Logs. 3. Leave Database Read_Only And Able To Restore Additional Transaction Logs.
Option 2 and 3 aresupposed to set on the NORECOVERY flag.
I tried both options 2, and 3 , But still got messages that I did not specify WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY.
I am trying to restore a set of transactions logs on my SQL server and I keep getting the following error 'The preceding restore operation did not specify with NO RECOVERY or WITH STANDBY. Restart the restore sequence, specifying WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY for all but the final step. RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
Can someone please show me how to properly restore a set of backup logs with specifying the required recovery option?
I cannot restore a backup file of the transaction log without getting the following message:
ODBC SQL State: 42000 The preceding restore operation did not specify WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY. Restart the restore sequence, specifying WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANDBY for all but the final step.
I have tried to do this in Enterprise manager and with the following script with the same results:
RESTORE Log TestDB FROM DISK='D:MSSQL7BACKUPMMTrans' WITH NORECOVERY
What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help.
I have scheduled a database backup at 9 pm and 5 Transaction Log backups. The transaction Log backups happen at 11 am, 1 pm, 3 pm and 5 pm (device does not get initialized) and one at 11 pm where i initialize the backup device. now i have another server with the same database on it. I restore these backups on to this server by simple copying the files and then doing Restore ...From Device...Add file...option. I am able to restore the DB backup but when i try to restore the log backups it get the error msg -
'Specified file 'G:...' is out of sequence. current time stamp is Feb 9 2000 3:54 pm while dump was from Feb 9 2000 3 pm.'
When i am restoring the logs i start from the 1st backup buyt still i get this error. Can someone pls let me know what the problem is and how to resolve it. Thanks.
Just went through migrating to SQL 2005 as well and we have a need to apply log shipping between SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. Well not shipping per say in the automated fashion that SQL 2005 offers but rather we need to apply SQL 2000 transaction logs to a SQL 2005 instance. Though the database is still in SQL 2000 version 80 and the secondary database needs to be available in read only. (STANDBY MODE)
When I attempt to restore either a FULL backup or transaction log I get the error:
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. This backup cannot be restored using WITH STANDBY because a database upgrade is needed. Reissue the RESTORE without WITH STANDBY
The only way I could restore the FULL was by using the WITH RECOVERY OR NORECOVERY option during the restore process. The issue with this is I need the database in standby by mode in order to continue to append transaction logs.
Anybody have any thoughts how I might be able to get around this?
I am new to this environment and was asked to ensure that the transaction log shipping for SQL 2005 on W2K3 boxes is working properly. I noticed the db's on the secondary server are show "Restoring..." I am not sure if these were set up in No Recover Mode or Standby Mode. I have no access to the secondary db's. I get an error message when trying to access them (error 927). Monitoring was not set up initially and as you may or may not know can't be turned on after the fact...unless you delete the job and start over.
My question is is "Restoring..." normal and what does it indicate?
We had a siutation last night in our production environment that forced us to revert back to an earlier version of the database (before a major code rollout that failed). After restoring the days full backup (with NORECOVERY), and then restoring a DIFF backup (FULL RECOVERY and had checked Preserve Replication Settings)...the transaction replication failed.

I've tried reinitializing the publication/subscription and while that took brand new snapshots and copied it over to the replicated data server, it did not fix the problem.I read from a different post that I could try running "sp_replrestart" but that ran for about a half an hour and didn't appear to do anything but fill up our log files...did I not wait long enough?
The only thing I know to do at this point is to drop the publication on the production server and rebuild it completely (and with all the tables we're replicating that would take quite a bit of time.
I have Full database backup upto previous day and transaction logfile of Today transaction. my database has crashed. I have restored previous day's Full backup. I have faced difficulty to restore today's transaction from today's transaction log. What are the steps to restore full database back and one day's transaction log file. Note: there is no differential database backup and transaction backup.
I did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)
Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.
Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.
I'm getting this when executing the code below. Going from W2K/SQL2k SP4 to XP/SQL2k SP4 over a dial-up link.
If I take away the begin tran and commit it works, but of course, if one statement fails I want a rollback. I'm executing this from a Delphi app, but I get the same from Qry Analyser.
I've tried both with and without the Set XACT . . ., and also tried with Set Implicit_Transactions off.
set XACT_ABORT ON Begin distributed Tran update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.TRANSACTIONMAIN set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.TRANSACTIONMAIN set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 and DONE = 1 update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.WBENTRY set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.WBENTRY set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.FIXED set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.FIXED set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.ALTCHARGE set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.ALTCHARGE set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.TSAUDIT set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 update TSADMIN.TSAUDIT set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 COMMIT TRAN
It's got me stumped, so any ideas gratefully received.Thx
I have a design a SSIS Package for ETL Process. In my package i have to read the data from the tables and then insert into the another table of same structure.
for reading the data i have write the Dynamic TSQL based on some condition and based on that it is using 25 different function to populate the data into different 25 column. Tsql returning correct data and is working fine in Enterprise manager. But in my SSIS package it show me time out ERROR.
I have increase and decrease the time to catch the error but it is still there i have tried to set 0 for commandout Properties.
if i'm using the 0 for commandtime out then i'm getting the Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.
and
Failed to open a fastload rowset for "[dbo].[P@@#$%$%%%]". Check that the object exists in the database.
I am getting this error :Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

i have a sequence container in my my sequence container i have a script task for drop the existing tables. This seq. container connected to another seq. container. all these are in for each loop container when i run the package it's work fine for 1st looop but it gives me error for second execution.
Message is like this:
Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.
i am getting this error "Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.".
my transations have been done using LINKED SERVER. when i manually call the store procedure from Server 1 it works but when i call it through Service broker it dosen't work and gives me this error.
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 have a database that I am restoring from a different server. I have created the devices and the database to match that of the original. However, on clicking restore I get the following error:
[SQL Server] User specified volume id 'SS0001' does not match te volume id ' SQL001' of the device <database path>.
This seems to imply that I cannot restore to a different server, but from what I have read about other problems here, this isn't true. Can anyone shed any light as it is most frustrating.
I'm a beginner w ith SQL Express and am having some problems. I am using 2005 SP1 and installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express as well. I have a backup from a SQL Server 7.0 database that I am trying to restore into my database using the management studio. When I try to restore from the file into my database, I get the error,
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of the system database on the device D:GMBeta2Local.bak cannot be restored because it was created by a different version of the server (7.00.1063) than this server (9.00.3033). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)
Is this true? Is there any way for me to get this data into my SQL Server 2005 express on my laptop?
Hey guys We currenlty have SQL Server 2000 installed inhouse for testing. A client has given us a backup of their 2005 database and i'm wondering if the restore will work into 2000, or any issues i should be aware of. Should i just install msde locally on my machine and restore the database? thanks
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.

I have another question : 1) Restoring SQL Server Databases after uninstalling and reinstalling SQL Server.
Two days ago there was some problem with Norton Antivirus, so Windows 98 restored itself to a previous state. The SQL Server name was not available when I tried to start again, so I had to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server. I started a new Database just a week before this happened (the change from Access to SQL Server as I stated in the other thread http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=987880) and after reinstallation I could not access the Database any more - even while it is in the Data directory. I did not have any backup to restore from - I just started creating tables, so there was only the Log file created and the MDF database file. I tried to import it for a while to the new server, but as the database is not shown in the new server, it was unable to import like I hoped. So how do you restore it back to SQL Server when you have no backup and only the (undamaged) MDF database file if you only have one server? I had to recreate the Database from scratch again - I don't want it to happen again.
Hi I have a .db file from another server and i am trying to install it at home and get this lengthy error message ( 9 lines long ) Microsoft SQL-DMO ODBC SQL STATE 42000 The physical name ( path blah blah may be wrong) how do i change the physical path of the .db file i'm trying to restore?? thx
When I restore db from backup on another server, it always remebers the source db path. This is very annoying as drive mappings are different. I have to go and manually change those paths each time to point to the existing mdf... Is there any way so I do not have to do this???
I have two servers (same config) I am trying to restore a database that I backed up on one server to the other. The method I used was as follows: I backed up the database to disk. Copied to the Disk of the second server. When I try to restore I get the following message. "The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing "database name" database. What am I doing wrong?
i'm attempting to restore a 7.0 database to a new server useing the sql server enterprise manager. If i choose to restore from device, i get an ODBC SQL State 42000 error and a suggestion to use the "WITH MOVE OPTION". If i choose to restore via the database option, it doesn't recognize my backup file in the dropdown list of backup files to restore. I would like to use the enterprise manager if possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi! I attempted to backup a database on server x and restore it on a database on server y. The details are as follows.
Server X Database name : dbx Size :263.88MB (Unrestricted filegrowth option set) Logical files : dbx_data, dbx_log Physical files : e:mssql7datadbx_data.mdf, f:databaselogsdbx_log.ldf
Server Y Database name : dby Size :1MB (Unrestricted filegrowth option set) Logical files : dby_data, dby_log Physical files : d:mssql7datadby_data.mdf, d:mssql7datadby_log.ldf
I created a full database backup of dbx on server x at the location, f:ackupsdbx_083099_10.30AM. The size of the file is 272MB. I zipped the file. Copied the file, dbx_083099_10.30AM.xip over to d:ackups of server y. I unzipped the file at server y to the location, d:ackupsdbx_083099_10.30AMdbx_083099_10.30AM.
I now tried to restore this backup on server y using the statement, restore database dby from disk = 'd:ackupsdbx_083099_10.30AMdbx_083099_10.30AM with replace, move 'dbx_data' to 'd:mssql7datadby_data.mdf', move 'dbx_log' to 'd:mssql7datadby_log.ldf'
I get the following errors :
Server: Msg 3257, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 There is insufficient free space on disk volume 'd:' to create the database. The database requires 3219128320 additional free bytes, while only 2047102976 bytes are available. Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.

I want to create a database that is identical to one I currently have for testing purposes. I took a backup and tried to restore it to another server to actually create the database. It wouldn't work, then I created the database on that server and gave it the exact name and file layout (dbid was different) and tried to restore the backup to the newly created database. Still would not restore. I am using SQL 7 for backkup and restore. The backup device backs up to disk on the servers. What I am doing wrong?
Hi, I am trying to restore sql server 7 on to a different machine with same name. I installed sql 7 and tried restoring the databases, I got an unicode locale id error. I rebuild the master database and error was fixed.
I am trying to do a full database restore and I am receiving error <b> upgradedb.cpp214Expression: tableIndex < ARRAY_Len(upgradeMap)SPID: 7Process ID:1124. </b> KIndly help me please, in what to do or how to do a restore.
Hi, I have two sql server 2000. one of the server has a production database names xyz_db I make a full backup of the database then move the backup file xyz_db.BAK to the other sql server and run the restore process, I get an identical database in the second sql server. Is there any issues that I should be aware of in doing such a thing?
I'm trying to restore databases to a backup server from a production server. This is the message I received. I'm fairly new to this. I haven't touched SQL Server in over a year and wasn't very proficient back then either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

suppose we are restoring the database to a new server, the logins are getting created. So when an user want to login to this new database , what ever he used before to getinto that database should have to use the same password.??
So when we restore a database only, tables , logins are created, or what are the other things getting craeted like stored proc, jobs???
