Setting Up Database Snapshot

Oct 26, 2007

I have created a snapshot

CREATE DATABASE AdventureWorks_Snapshot1200 ON
(NAME = N'AdventureWorks_Data', FILENAME=
N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataAW_1200.ss')
AS SNAPSHOT Of AdventureWorks


I changed the records
AddressLine1
from 1970 Napa Ct. to 1970 Napa Ct. Apt 1

When i run
select * from Person.Address
AventureWorks_Snapshot1200 where addressid = '1'

select * from Person.Address
AventureWorks where addressid = '1'
Both appear as 1

When i change Apt to 2 and run it both appear 2
Changed again to 3 both appeared as 3 too.


I was under the impression that the snapshot would remain as 1 when the new update 2 has been performed.

Any light be appreciated.

Problem When Applying A Snapshot When Tables Have Been Updated During Snapshot Generation

Jun 20, 2007

Hi

I seem to have a strange problem when applying a snapshot when the tables in the publication have been updated while the snapshot was being generated.



Say for example there is a table called RMAReplacedItem in the publication. When the snapshot starts being applied to the subscriber, a stored procedure called sp_MSins_RMAReplacedItem_msrepl_css gets created that handles an insert if the row already exists (ie it updates the row rather than inserting it). However, after all the data has been loaded into the tables, instead of calling this procedure, it tries to call one called sp_MSins_RMAReplacedIte_msrepl_cssm - it takes the last letter of the table name and adds it to the end of the procedure name.



The worst part is that this causes the application of the snapshot to fail, but it doesnt report what the error is, and instead it just tries applying the snapshot again. The only way i have managed to find which call is failing is to run profiler against the subscriber while the snapshot is being applied and see what errors.



I have run sp_broswereplcmds and the data in there is what is applied to the subscriber - ie the wrong procedure name.



All the servers involved are running sql 2005 service pack 2. The publisher and subscriber were both upgraded from sql 2000, but the distribution server is a fresh install of sql 2005.

How To Check If A Database Is A Snapshot

Oct 31, 2007

Hi everyone,
I am looking for a way to check to see if a database is a snapshot or not. You can for example check different properties of a database by running the following:

SELECT DATABASEPROPERTYEX('databasename','Recovery')
SELECT DATABASEPROPERTYEX('databasename','IsInStandBy')
SELECT DATABASEPROPERTYEX('databasename','Status')

So I am trying to see if there is a way to check for a snapshot

Thanks,

Database Corrupted By Reverting To A Snapshot

Dec 28, 2006

The following list of actions leads to a corrupt database on SQL Server 2005.

Create a database snapshot
Drop a table in the database
Backup the database
Restore from backup
Revert to the snapshot

I'm not entirely surprised that it results in a corruption, what is surprising is that I can revert from a snapshot after restoring. There needs to be some kind of check to prevent reverting to a snapshot in a case like this. Until SQL Server prevents you from doing it, I'd recommend a best practice is to delete all snapshots before you restore a database so that you cannot do this by accident.

Hi,

I need to restore a sql server 2000 database which does not have any backups apart from a snapshot folder which contains some .bcp, .IDX and .Sch files. (there was a transactional replication setup on this database at some point and the snapshot folder is still there.)

Is this possible? any help will be highly appreciated.

thanks,

DB Engine :: Daily Database Snapshot With Same Name

Aug 17, 2015

I would like to use SQL Server's built in database snapshot feature. We have a database (e.g., ThatDatabase), and I would like to capture a snapshot of it at exactly midnight each morning.  I would need the snapshot to have the same name each day (e.g., ThatDatabase12AM).  My non-technical end users (statisticians with SAS) are going to use the snapshot a lot, but are not going to be able to handle it it having a different name every day.

Obviously, I could set up a job with a start time of 23:59:50 that drops the existing snapshot and then creates a new snapshot.  This would have the problem that the snapshot name disappears for a few seconds every day.  That would either a) kill user sessions, or b) block the snapshot drop and delay the new snapshot until after exactly 12:00 AM.

Database Snapshot On SAN Attached Disks

Sep 27, 2007

Hi All

I am in process of moving a SQL 2005 solution from a development box that used local storage to UAT environment with SAN attached storage. The solution uses database snapshots

The database files are on the SAN storage but during testing I was unable to create a Database snapshot on the SAN disk. Creating snapshots on the local disk worked fine.

Is their some restriction/problem in using the database snapshot technology with SAN storage?

Running A Query On A Snapshot Database Fails.

Oct 1, 2007

Hello!


I'm trying to use mirroring + snapshots for reporting on a large database.

I've set up the mirrored database and created a snapshot.

Everything looks fine unil a run some queries on the snapshot.

Some queries work some don't. the error is this:


Msg 954, Level 14, State 1, Line 1

The database "test" cannot be opened. It is acting as a mirror database.



From what i can tell when he's trying to use an index for the query, the engine tries to use it from the mirror database.

eg.
this query works fine:
select top 10 * from dbo.table1

this query gives the error:
select top 10 * from dbo.table1 order by col1 desc




What's going on and how can i make this setup work?
thanks.

Database Mirror + Snapshot + Replication Questions

Aug 28, 2007

All,

We have SQL 2005 db mirror configured with a witness server for high availability. Node 1 is the principal and Node 2 is the mirror. A nightly job creates a snapshot on Node 2. The snapshot is used for previous day reporting queries. We have now been asked to present another copy of the database for near-time reporting. I thought about possibly adding a peer-to-peer replication as part of my environment but was hoping to see what everyone else out there is doing.

Regards,

Ian

Database Snapshot In SQL Server Management Studio Express

SQL 2012 :: Creating Snapshot From Mirror Database Failed - Could Not Redo Log Record

Sep 1, 2015

Process to create snapshot failed (twice per day snapshot of the database is being created for some people to work on). Morning snapshot worked fine but the afternoon one failed. The snapshot is being created from Mirror database. I used this code:

CREATE DATABASE [DB_snapshot] ON
(name = N'DB',filename = N'D:SnapshotDB.SQLSnapshot' )
,(name = N'indexes',filename = N'D:SnapshotDB_indexes.SQLSnapshot' )
AS SNAPSHOT OF DB

And the error message i get

What might be causing this error? Mirroring seems to be working OK. status is "Synchronized"

SQL Tools :: DBCC CHECKDB Error / Internal Database Snapshot Cannot Be Created

Aug 22, 2013

We recently migrated our production server from SQL 2005 (Standard) on Win2003(32-bit) to SQL2012 (Standard; v11.0.3000) on Win2008-R2(64bit). Single-server Dell R510 with 1.2TB storage. Everything went smoothly; the only nagging issue remaining is failure of our maintenance jobs. I tracked the issue down to failure of DBCC CHECKDB.  Specifically, the error is:Executed as user: NT SERVICESQLSERVERAGENT. The database could not be exclusively locked to perform the operation. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 5030) Check statement aborted. The database could not be checked as a database snapshot could not be created and the database or table could not be lockedI have Googled this issue and read extensively. For instance, informative blogs (albeit dated) such as these by Paul Randal (Managing

CheckDB by default takes an internal DB snapshot to get the consistent, point-in-time view of the DB that it needs. If that snapshot creation fails, then it will try to get an exclusive database lock before proceeding (same as if you had executed DBCC CHECKDB WITH TABLOCK). The root problem is not that the lock could not be obtained, it's that the internal database snapshot could not be created. msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188796.aspx details the specific situations when an internal database snapshot is not created and table locking is attempted. 

 I have verified the SQLSERVERAGENT service account has full permissions on the SQLDATA directory where the databases reside and has full permissions on each database within the directory. Just for giggles, I created a job (run as SQLSERVERAGENT) that creates and then deletes a text file in the SQLDATA directory.  It runs fine.

Also testedI get the snapshot creation error when manually running DBCC CHECKDB against any of our databases and when executing under a variety of administrator accounts that are members of the SQL sysadmin role and the Domain Admins security group (the Domain Admins is a member of the local Administrators group that has full permissions on all SQL directories/folders).

Additionally, the databases in question are small (200MB to 6GB) and the disk has plenty of elbow room (978GB free on 1.22TB RAID5 array) to create the internal database snapshots. CHECKDB doesn't surface an error message that is detailed enough to determine the precise cause of the error. Any example successfully running DBCC CHECKDB on the SQL2012 (Standard) on a Win2008 R2 (64-bit) server.

Setting Up SQL Database

Apr 7, 2007

I have been using MySQL as the back end of my .Net 2.0 applications for a while using a custom membership provider without any problems.Having now switched to a new webhost which supports both MySQL and MS SQL Server 2005 and also creating a new site thought I should set up the new site to use MS SQL..... I am having trouble however setting up the SQL server to act as the membership provider. Following the advice on here I tried using aspnet_regsql.exe...  Firstly, when trying to get the list of databasses on the remote server I get the following error: Failed to query a list of database names from the SQL Server. Invalid object name 'Sysdatabases' If I then just type in the name of my database and go through to the end I get the following error:Exception:An error occurred during the execution of the SQL file 'InstallCommon.sql'. The SQL error number is 8152 and the SqlException message is: String or binary data would be truncated.   I can connect to my MS SQL server remotely without any problem using the likes of MS SQL Server Management Studio Express. Is there any other way I can setup the databases needed for user and roles access control or is the usage of MS SQL much more complicated than what MySQL was?

Setting Up A Database

Feb 20, 2006

Hi people,

I'm in the process of trying to set up my first SQL Server database and things aren't going as per the book! (surprise, surprise).

The 'Identity Specification' option during Table creation, is 'greyed out' and won't let me set (Is Identity) to 'Yes' or anything else for that matter.

I guess that there's a simple answer to this one, but as a newbie to SQL Server ( and VB 2005) I'm curently at a loss.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Setting Database Data

I'm having trouble changing data in my database. It is actually a VB cuestion, but you see, i just finished lesson 9 of the begginers Visual Basic 2005 video series and in my last run i can't save the data i've changed into the database. no errors are shown, it just does't change the values.
i know for a fact that the code is well written and there is no problem with the configuration of buttons and such, because i folowed the steps 50 times so I believe it must be a SQL configuration problem.
does anybony have any insight on what the problem might be.

Readonly Setting For Database

Jan 29, 2004

we have a database that only serves Select requests (no OLTP) for our very high traffic websites.
what are the benefits of turning on read-only setting for the database if there are no transactions occuring in the database?
does sql server put locks on tables for SELECT statements?

is it the same as using HINT (NOLOCK) ?

Setting Up Database On A New Server

Feb 23, 1999

Hi,

There has been a lot of discussion about moving single databases or devices in same server. Can someone suggest the most simplest method to set up a identical server with all the logins, permissions and password etc?

Building a new server with sp_help_revdatabase and dumps/loads is relatively easy but moving the master is confusing to me. I should run the new server and databases for a little testing period (with diffrent server name, of course) and then go live by dropping the old and by adding the new. I remember someone said that this would be as easy as copying master.dat to new machine (when servers are identical), any experience or other suggestions?

TIA,
Al
