Hello Guys
We΄re in a big deep problem...
We lost some data from our SQLServer and now we discover that the SQLServer agent was not running and the backup was not being performed.
Is that any way to recover the lost data from the log files, even if we have to retype everything?
Regards
Andre
Hi all,

I have a production SQLServer 6.5 on Nt 3.51 SP4
that had problems two weeks ago, an I had
to restore the backup of the previous night.
we are testing our disaster recovery procedures
on another server, identical to the production
one.
We have installed NT 3.51 SP 4 and SQLServer 6.5
in the same order and with the same configuration
of the production server,
but i can't restore on the test server the
backup files that i have succesfully resotred
on the production server.
we make the SQLServer back up on file ( and
then we backup those files on tape with
NT backup) so I don't think is a problem
of HW Tape Bios or Compression because
i have tried to resotre directly the
files without taking them from a tape.
1)
I have created a new database , without data,
with the same devices, in megabyte, that I
have on the production server.
than from enterprise manager I have started
the restore from file, and after two seconds
everything stops, and I can't even shutdown
the task but i MUST turn the server off
using the power button.
when I start the server again there are
no specific errors in the event log nor
in the SQLServer error log.
The db i was trying to restore is marked
"loading" and it is not available.
This same procedure works perfectly
on the production server.
2)
I have then created another db on the test
server, and I have succesfully tranferred
( but not resotred) the produciont db
onto the test one, using the transfer menu
on SQLEnterprise manager.
3)
another strange thing is that I have tryed
to expand the tempdb, which is only 2 mega
by default, but whenever i try to expand it,
using enterprise manager, only the LOG area
of tempdb sucessfully expands, not the data area.
I don't know if this behaviour is related
to the unsuccesfull restore or if
it is another problem.
i have checked the sort order and character set
of the 2 servers and they are the same.
thanks in advance for any help.

Hi guys! When it comes to writing sql statements, I do ok. But I just know the basics on sql server dba stuff.I need to create a sql server login account that has the ability to backup and restore databases, BUT NOTHING ELSE.No ability to change anything other than via the restore process. I figured out how to do the backup portion of my requirement, but not the restore part.Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Pls reply.
Hi,
I have a database running on sqlserver 2000. This database (let's call it TestDatabase) has 2 filegroups called 'PRIMARY' and 'SECONDARY', and is bulk-logged. The 'SECONDARY' filegroup is set to readonly since no data gets changed there by the applications, it is read-only data. Sometimes this read-only data needs an update, so I need to update the data in the 'SECONDARY' filegroup by running some long data-operations. These data-operations are executed and checked on a another database (which is a backup of TestDatabase) called TestDatabaseDemo. When everything is correct in TestDatabaseDemo we can copy all objects from the 'SECONDARY'-filegroup of TestDatabaseDemo to the 'SECONDARY'-filegroup of TestDatabase using DTS. This takes a long time and I want to try if I could speed up things by using the following strategy:
Take a full backup of TestDatabase
Restore full backup as TestDatabaseDemo
Run long-running data-operations on TestDatabaseDemo
Take a backup of TestDatabaseDemo
Restore only the 'SECONDARY'-filegroup from TestDatabaseDemo to TestDatabase, and keeping the 'PRIMARY' filegroup from TestDatabase as it was at that moment.
Suppose we arrived at step 5, I am executing the following commands:
Code Snippet
--make full backup of TestDatabase
backup database TestDatabase to DISK='G: emp estdatabase.bak' with init
--make full backup of TestDatabaseDemo
backup database TestDatabaseDemo to DISK='G: emp estdatabasedemo.bak' with init
backup log TestDatabase to DISK='g: emp estdatabase.log'
--restore secondary filegroup from TestDatabasedemo-backup
restore database TestDatabase FILEGROUP='SECONDARY' FROM DISK='G: emp estdatabasedemo.bak'
with move 'TestDatabase_Data_Secondary' to 'G: empTestDatabase_Data_secondary.ndf', NORECOVERY
--restore primary filegroup from Testdatabase-backup
restore database TestDatabase FILEGROUP='PRIMARY' FROM DISK='G: emp estdatabase.bak'
with move 'TestDatabase_Data' to 'G: empTestDatabase_Data.mdf', NORECOVERY
--restore log and try to get db onlin
restore log TestDatabase FROM DISK='g: emp estdatabase.log' with recovery
I get the following error:
The log in this backup set terminates at LSN 6000000021500001, which is too early to apply to the database. A more recent log backup that includes LSN 6000000022400003 can be restored.
When trying to execute "RESTORE DATABASE TestDatabase WITH RECOVERY; " as last statement
I get error:
The database cannot be recovered because the files have been restored to inconsistent points in time.
How i can restore the read-only filegroup correctly?
Hi,
Hopefully someone out there will be able to help me with this question. I'm trying to setup my C# program to use the Backup and Restore classes to perform backups and restores on an SQL Express 2005 database.
From the documentation I've read... it seems that when you go to restore the database, it's a good idea to backup the current transaction log. But when I do this using the Backup.SqlBackup method I get an error saying that no database backup is detected so a log backup can't occur. I'm not sure if this has something to do with the fact that I moved my backup files from the default SQL Express/Server Backup folder to a different location. Shouldn't it know I've already performed a backup though?
And does anyone know how to set a parameter to backup to a different file location than the default? I've been doing a backup then a file move. Works the same, but it would be nice to have everything together in the Backup object.
Thanks!

We have a static class that makes an HTTPWebRequest to get XML data from one of our vendors. We use this as input to a stored proc in SQLServer2005. When I compile this class and call it from a console application in visual studio it executes in milliseconds, everytime. When I compile it, create the assembly and clr function and execute it in SQLServer, it takes around 14 seconds to execute the first time, then on subsequent requests it is again really fast, until I wait for 10 seconds and re-execute, once again it is slow the first time and then fast on subsequent requests. We do not see this behavior when executing outside SQLServer. Makes me think that some sort of authentication is perhaps taking place the first time the function is run in SQLServer? I have no idea how to debug this further. Anyone seen this before or have any ideas?
Here is the class:
Code Snippet
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Net;
using System.IO;
namespace Predict.Services
{
public static class Foo
{
public static string GetIntradayQuote(string symbol)
{
string returnQuote = "";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)(WebRequest.Create("http://data.predict.com/predictws/detailed_quote.html?syms=" + symbol + "&fields=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,28,30"));
request.Timeout = 1000;
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)(request.GetResponse());
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
returnQuote = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
streamReader.Close();
response.Close();
return returnQuote;
}
}
}
When I run call it from a console app it is fine.
I compile it into a dll and then create the assembly and function as follows:
Code Snippet
drop function fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS
go
drop assembly TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS
go
create ASSEMBLY TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS from 'c:DataBackupsCLRLibrariesTestGetIntradayQuote_SJS.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS
go
CREATE FUNCTION fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS(@SymbolList nvarchar(max)) RETURNS nvarchar(max) AS EXTERNAL NAME TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS.[Predict.Services.Foo].GetIntraDayQuote
go
declare @testing nvarchar(max)
set @testing = dbo.fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS('goog')
print @testing
When I execute the function as above, again, really slow the first time, then fast on subsequent calls. Could there be something wrong with the code, or some headers that need to be set differently to operate from the CLR in SQLServer?

Skipper.
Hi experts;
I have a problem with unicode character 0x2300
I created this table
create table testunicode (Bez nchar(128))
Insert Data
insert into testunicode (Bez)values('’')
with 2 Unicode characters
= 0x2300
’ = 0x2122
Selecting the data
select Bez from testunicode
I see
"?’"
’ = 0x2122 is ok but instead of 0x2300 there is 0x3f
When I modify the insert statement like that ( 8960 = 0x2300 )
insert into testunicode (Bez)values(NCHAR(8960)+'’')
and select again voila i see
"’"
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks
I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Thanks!!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000.
Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express? The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection.
If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration? Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is:
server name: "machinename"( or ip). I've also tried "machiname/SQLEXPRESS"

Hello,
I have an SQLServer Mobile database, and I would like to know if there is a way to upgrade it to SQLServer 2005 (.mdf) database. My database has no records in it, just the structure (tables etc). What I am actually asking is if I can create automatically a new SQLServer 2005 Database with the same structure as my existin SQLSErver Mobile database

Hello people.
I am in the process of planning a server upgrade to sql2005 x64.
I created 2 linked servers: one to a SQL2000 sp4 server and one to a SQL7.0 SP3.
I have the following error when I query the linked servers.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "Unspecified error".
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "The stored procedure required to complete this operation could not be found on the server. Please contact your system administrator.".
Msg 7311, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
I am aware of KB 906954.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;906954
I applied the instcat.sql on the SQL2000SP4 server and my linked server issues for that one are gone.
However, I ran the instcat.sql script on the SQL7.0 sp3 server and the linked server is still giving me an issue.
Can someone help me find a solution to this?
Regarding KB935356, is there a "post" service pack 2 update for SQLServer Express?
Thanks.
Hello Expert!

Now I want to use parameter so I only importing record within range (e.g. ShiftDate BETWEEN 05-24-2006 AND 06-23-2006)
In SQLServer, I have created table to store the date range as following:

Hi,
I am new to SQL Server 2005. I tried connecting to my local machine by using my machine name as Server name and then tried running the following query:
SELECT * FROM SYS.Objects. It gives me following error:
Invalid object name 'sys.objects'.
Whereas, if I connect to my local machine using mahcinenameSQLEXPRESS, then the above mentioned query runs fine.
Why is this difference? What is the difference when I login in these 2 different ways.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Would some one please help me with the syntex on how to run "restore filelistonly" or restore verifyonly" on a SQL backup which has multiple filesets?? My backups locations are as follow:
RESTORE VERIFYONLY
From disk = 'E:syndicated_databank__bkup_01.bak',
'E:syndicated_databank__bkup_02.bak',
E:syndicated_databank__bkup_03.bak,
E:syndicated_databank__bkup_04.bak, E:syndicated_databank__bkup_05.bak
I tried to do a restore with the above, I got error The label 'E' has already been declared. Label names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure.
Please advise!!
I have seen this before. A 2000 restore fails, leaving the database thinking it is being restored but the restore job failed and errors when it is restarted. EM is clueless. I believe there is a proc to reset some flag. Can you share it with me???
Thanks!

Trying to keep out sysadmins & sa during/between database RESTORE
Configuration:
WINNT Server Enterprise 4.0 w/SP5
SQL Server 7 Enterprise & SP1
2 SQL Servers:
Production Server
Standby server
I Backup (full backup) databases to disk on primary server (logical backup devices are physicaly located on a Standby server (dedicated gigabit NIC in each server for this process). Transaction logs are applied to the Standby server throughout the day.
Problem:
How to keep out "sa" and sysadmins from a database while I'm restoring (or between restores) to a standby server?
The database being restored cannot be in use during a restore.
If a DBA forgets that this process is happening, the statement fails (RESTORE)for the database they happen to be in at the time of the restore.
Example restore statement:
Standby Server -
RESTORE DATABASE databasename FROM database_dd WITH DBO_ONLY, REPLACE, STANDBY = 'g:Mssql7FromPrimaryDatabaseName_undo.ldf'
I could restrict Domain sysadmin access and change sa password. I could also put the database in "Single user" mode, however this could become problem if my process disconnects and then someone else connects - then my process is locked out. What I'm really looking for is to lock out all activity for a database that is in "standby mode" except for RESTORE processes.
Any ideas??
