Setup And Upgrade :: Database Backup Restore
Sep 19, 2015I want to restore my SQL Server 2000 database backup to SQL Server 2014.

From my previous post it seems that the general consensus is for me to use backup and Restore to upgrade a dB from SQL2K to SQL2K5.
Could anyone refer me to some explicit instructions for doing this?
I have SQL2K5 and SQL2K on separate servers and I cannot back the dB up to SQL2K5. I also can't access the drives for SQL2K from SQL2K5. I'm hoping it's a simple mistake.
Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated.

We are told that we cannot get remote access on our DB servers , can access them only via SQL management studio. But we are the one's who will be restoring all our DB's from current setup to new servers.
My Question:
1. Can we restore the DB's directly via SQL Management studio(from other server where management studio is installed) without logging into the DB server.
2. How do we set the mdf/ldf file paths, assuming we have elevated access on the DB. Is this possible?.
Any other blockers we can face?
Hi,
I'm currently working on a project which uses a SQL Express 2005 database. I want to be able to setup SQL Express from my C# program so that it can perform backups to a specified path location at the requested interval itself. This would free up my program from having to manage the backups. Just wanted to know if this is possible?
Also, when the current database becomes corrupt will SQL Express perform the restore for the user automatically, instead of them having to manually request a restore? I realize that it might not be able to handle the restores in the same way as backups, but I figured I'd at least ask.
Thanks,

I have a problem when i restore my .DAT_BAK file. I am getting error like "The backup set holds a backup of a database other than existing database. Restore Database is terminating abnormally".
I tried by using
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME>
FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH MOVE 'VZAI_DATA' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.MDF',
MOVE 'VZAI_LOG' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.LDF',
REPLACE
And also i tried like
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME>
FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH REPLACE
When i use like this,
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'. I am able to get the output as LogicalName, PhysicalName, Type, FileGroupName, Size, etc.
Can i anyone please help me out?
Thanks in Advance,

When I'm trying to create a database diagram for my tables., First it prompts me saying that - "This database does not have one or more of the supported objects... Do you wish to create them? I know this is normal when you don't have any diagrams. But after clicking "Yes", I get the following error which is attached.
I tried changing the database Owner to "sa". But, still the same error. Interestingly, other databases that are already having the database diagrams (created by others), are allowing me to create new diagrams in those databases. The only difference is, I created this database where I'm trying to create diagrams on. How do I get this working.
Below is Error Message:
I need to be able to create & connect to temporary databases programmatically, and NOT using the command-line, within a C# program. How would one go about doing this?

View 11 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the AdventureWorks2012 OLTP script. When I ran it it gave me some errors. I also noticed that it tried to install into the bult-in master database, it created a lot of tables and objects. Some questions :
1) How can I remove everything that the script installed into master database?
2) Do I need to create 1st an empty database and then run the script there?
3) I am running the script from a custom path (C:DownloadsMicrosoft SQL Server 2012AdventureWorks 2012 OLTP Script.zipAdventureWorks 2012 OLTP Script) not sure if this is causing some of the errors as the script, in the beggining has a path to other folders :
:setvar SqlSamplesDatabasePath  "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL11.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLDATA"
-- NOTE: Change this path if you copied the script source to another path
:setvar SqlSamplesSourceDataPath "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL11.MSSQLSERVERToolsSamplesAdventureWorks 2012 OLTP Script"
4) Final question, I also downloaded the AdventureWorks 2012 simple database (AdventureWorks2012_Data.mdf). Is this file the same database as the one created by the OLTP script?
We have installed 2014 sql server on a stand alone VM and can create alerts without issue. We recently did a cluster install of 2014, and when trying to create alerts get the following error:
Msg 14262, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_verify_performance_condition, Line 52
The specified object_name ('Databases') does not exist.
Specifically, we are trying to create a database alert on percent log used that will kick off a job to back up the log.
We are on Windows 2012R2 o/s. In the drop downs in SSMS under alerts, we do not have all the options we have in the stand alone instance - they are not there. Is this a bug? Is there a CU?
How does one enable sql connections limits for user connections per new and existing databases? how to do it on whole server per database but not set a limit per user.Looks like this must be run on each databases but what if you have 100s of databases:

GO
EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;

I have an existing, licensed installation of SQL 2008 R2, with one database instance.  I need to add a second instance, but do not currently have access to the installation media.  Can I use the Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Enterprise
Evaluation: Trial Experience for IT Professionals installer that's available for download from the Microsoft download site?
I'm setting it up using the directions provided by Microsoft @
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189047.aspx
The problem I originally ran into was exactly like the one mentioned in the
following posting:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/newsgroups/managed/dgbrowser/en-us/default.mspx?&query=mirroring&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-US&dg=microsoft.public.sqlserver.clustering&p=1&tid=95381f96-a34a-4d99-9e31-12719452a11d
I found an article online stating that this can occur of your principle
backup wasn't restored to the mirror server in NO RECOVERY mode. I missed
that step when performing the first restore, so i deleted that database and
started over using the NO RECOVERY option on the mirror restore.
The problem I've run into now is that after my restore executes and
completes, the database remains in a (Restoring...) state and never becomes
accessible.
Anyone know what causes this?
Thank you,

We're doing upgrades from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2014. This is blocked due to RS is installed but not configured. Our desired action is to uninstall RS and proceed with the upgrade. But when setuparp.exe is raised, it does not list all the features on the 'Select Features' page. In fact, it only lists the last 2 shared features (SQ Client Connectivity SDK and Microsoft Sync Framework). However, all items appear to be listed on the 'Select Instance' page including RS. I've seen this issue on 2 of our SQL 2008 R2 Servers already.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been asked to create a new SQL server and restore an old server's DBs to the new server.
I'd like to generate a list of the DB names using powershell to distribute to their creators, in case some of these DBs are no longer needed.
I neglected to backup the transaction log as part of the process of backing up the database. Now i only have the backup file for the database and no transaction log backup. When i try to do a restore on the database, i get the error on a "tail log missing" message (which i'm assuming is that it's looking for the t-log backup?).
Is it possible to restore or even restore to a new database? I'm only looking to retreive data from 2 tables within the backup file.
Thanks!
SQL Server 2005 on Windows 2003 Server x64.
I'm trying to install SQL Server Management studio 2012 on my Windows 7 (x64) standalone laptop. When I click "New SQL stand-alone installation..." it runs a Setup Support Rules check and always fails "Setup Account Privileges". I've looked into the error and I keep getting that I need to change security rules but I don't have that option in window 7. How do I get around this without having to resort to a computer running Windows Server?
I have Visual Studio 2013 premium installed along with Localdb v11. I just want to connect and manage my database engine through SSMS when developing any application.
I am running a number of SQL instances on my PC. Within the network, I have think server with various System Center components. For compatibility reasons, some features of System Center 2012 R2 had to be delegated to different SQL databases. My question is, because there is now more than one IP address on my system, and each instance of SQL is assigned to its own IP, is there a way to setup DNS and SQL so the namespace points to the desired IP address? For Instance:
MSSQL2008 instance is set to run on = 11.12.13.1
MSSQL2012 is set to run on = 11.12.13.2
IN DNS:
A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.1
A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.2
If I want to use MSSQL2008 by specifying Mike-PC as the DNS name, how would I do that with 100% accuracy? If there is another way to get the job done, I am more than willing to approach this differently.
We backup the database using the following method
1. launch the DacIESvcCli.exe at specified time, which in-turn calls the service (southeast asia).
2. the bacpac is created and uploaded to the specified storage
However, after upgrading the Server to V12, it failed to create bacpac file in the storage, there are no errors/no logs/no information.
My DBA does a backup of the database and then it gets encrypted and compressed using PGP. This file is sent via ftp to an outside vendor. When they receive it, decrypt it and try to restore, they get the following error:
The media family on device c:dynaxoto1927131153 is incorrectly formed. Sql Server cannot process this media family”
We have tried the process in reverse where we have the vendor send us a file and it works fine.
Please provide some insight.

Hi i've tried a few remote administration tools including Microsofts own Web Data Administrator for SQL server... but none of them seem to do what is essential to me and that is backup/restore databases to a file.
Does anyone know of a free tool that can just backup/restore databases remotely. I dont really want to have to use export/import data as things like triggers get lost when using Microsoft Web data administrator.
A free web tool written in ASP.NET or ASP would be ideal. But PHP would also be fine.
I can ftp to the webserver in question to download the backup file and upload a file which needs restoring but i need a web tool to carry out the operations.
Or if there is another method that would work please let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
I've got a following problem: I have a VB 2005 application that uses SQL Server 2005 Express as DB engine. This application has it's own database stored in mdf file, e.g. invoices.mdf with corresponding log file.
I'd like to give users opportunity to backup and restore this DB file from this application (there won't be a system administrator, only end-users). Unfortunatelly after I connect to this database (using user instance of SQL Server), I'm unable to read or copy it, despite the fact, that I close all connections. And I'm sure that all connections are closed.
Database files become accessible for reading after I close the whole application.
I've tried to detach this database using sp_detach_db prcedure, but it can't be done with database I'm connected to.
I will be grateful for any help.

Anybody figure a way around this:
In a development server you take a backup and you want to move the entire database to a production server. The production server does not contain the database, users, or logins in master.
When you restore the backup to production in 7.0, the users get moved to DBO because the logins do not exist and then you cannot delete them.
We are having to drop the users from the database on development, back up the database and restore it to production, then recreate the users on production.
This is bogus and did not happen in 6.5 because of the aliases.
Anybody come up with a better way?
