It appears that in SQL 2000 restoring a single table is a bit more tedious and less user friendly as in earlier versions (6.5). Can anyone explain in a nutshell the easiest/quickest way to restore a single table from a backup?
Thanks,
Christine
Hello there,
I am facing problem in restoring a single table from backup file.
I have taken backup before one week, and now that i lost my data of one table named 'activity' i want to restore its data from backup.
How do i do it? i am not able to restore it.
Regards,
Dev.
After performing copy_only backup of the Database using the below query, I restored the Database and now I checked and found out that there is a discrepancy in the table structure of the restored Database.Its a scheduled backup job.one of the column of the table varchar(300) has been changed to varchar(200)
BACKUP DATABASE DBname TO DISK = N'D:BACKUPdbname.bak' WITH COPY_ONLY, NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO
How can i combine my data in single row ? All data are in a single table sorted as employeeno, date
Code:
Employee No Date SALARY
1 10/30/2006 500
1 11/30/2006 1000
2 10/25/2006 800
3 10/26/2006 900
4 10/28/2006 1000
4 11/01/2006 8000

I'm trying to insert data into a table from two tables into a single table along with a hard coded value.
insert into TABLE1
(THING,PERSONORGROUP,ACCESSRIGHTS)
VALUES
((select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where
AUTHOR IN (select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where USER_ID
=('USER1'))),(select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where USER_ID

I get the following-

Please excuse my lack of understanding as I am not a SQL DBA.
I have just received a database backup: "myDB_20005034400.bak" and have been
asked to put a copy on my server. I am told that this was made from the Enterprise Manager's DB Maintenance Utility. The backup Administrator has left the company with the server in a crashed condition.
How can I find out what "myDB_20005034400.bak" pertains to? (No msdb, etc. available). I am RESTORING TO A NEW SERVER.
MAIN: HOW DO I RESTORE THIS FILE TO A NEW DATABASE; ie TestDB (TestDB.mdf;
TestDB.ldf)?
Thanks a trillion.

Hi !
when i am trying to restore MSDB database from a disk backup it is giving an error saying
"Database in use.System administrator must have exclusive use of the databse to run the restore operation".
But i am not using msdb anywhere.when i see the processes under current activities i see an application named sqlagent-alert engine using the database.even after killing this process it reppaears and stops the restore operation.
so i stopped sql server agent and did the restore operation.It worked.
so is it necessary to stop sql server agent while restoring msdb?may i know the logical reason for it?

Problem in restoring new database with the backup file stored in tape drive
tape doesnnot contain sql server backup set
Hello all,
I operate a website which runs on Server 2003 and SQL 2005 Express. Unfortunately my server experienced a hard drive failure, however fortunately I have a full backup using 2003's NT Backup.
My new server is slightly different specification wise to my last server - but my question is, what are my options for restoring the database and how would I go about this? I do administor 2003 servers, but I'm not a database administrator.
My initial thoughts are to update Windows and its components (such as IE) and SQL 2005 to the same equivalent versions, and to perform a full restore, but what if it breaks Windows?
My second thought is to somehow extract the database from my backup file, but then I wouldn't know where to start how to re-import everything.
All comments would be welcome! Many thanks, Mike
Hi all,
Please find the following details and give me appropriate solution.
Full backup: everyday :00:30 hrs
Differential backup: everyday 20:00 hrs
Transction log backup: every 30 mins
Database size is 150+ GB
Lastday one of our disk got crashed which had contains data and log file of the database at 22:25. Now my client wants all of the data till 22:25.
I can recover data till 22:00 but how can I recover last 25 minutes data.
Please help ASAP
I am working on a site redesign which attaches to an MS SQL backend. The hosting company sent me a backup copy of the DB. I am trying to restore the db into my SQL Server but keep getting an error. I created an empty DB and then backed up that DB. I then replaced the .bak from my db with the .bak file he sent to me in a zip document. I then tried to do a DB restore through enterprise manager and recieved this error:

File 'stklaweb_db_data' cannot be restored to 'd:sqldatabasemssqldatastklaweb_db_data.mdf'. Use With Move to identify a valid location for the file. Device activation err.

I need to get this db restored asap. Any suggestions/help would be GREATLY appriciated!!!

I restore a database on a different server from a device file. This database has a user defined for it. In this case, 'privuser' is the name. No login has been defined.
I can add the privuser login but cannot grant db access because privuser already exists in the db. I cannot drop 'privuser' because the user owns all the user objects in the db.
How can I make the privuser login I create access the db using the privuser username in the db? Would having the login created before restoring the db as a new db work?
Hi Folks:
This seems like a pretty straightforward question, but since I've been trying to find this in BOL and not having any luck, I thought I'd ask some folks more experienced than I.
How much room do I need on a SQL box to restore a 6.45 gig database? (it's
going from a huge machine to a backup tape, then from the backup tape to a
much smaller machine for testing an app, and we're trying to find out what we need to do to make it all work out.)
I'm assuming that I would need significantly more than the 6 gigs of the db for the work of actually doing the restore, but can't find out how much more...
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Tom
Hi,
This is the problem which we face now and then. There is an automated job that run everyday night to restore the Database for reporting purposes. Before running that job an NT Task Schedular stop starts the sql server. This is to make sure that all the connections are closed. Nobody uses it at Night. But some times the job fails with bellow error message...
"Database in use. The system administrator must have exclusive use of the database to run the restore operation. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3101) Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013) Associated statement is not prepared [SQLSTATE HY007] (Error 0). The step failed."
Should I make the DB option set to single user mode. I don't think that is the problem.. because it runs fine most of the time..but sometime it fails.
Please help.. Thanks in advance :-)

Hello friends,
Kindly guide, if you are aware of any mechanism for restoring the differential backup only.
This can save a lot of time other than restoring complete database.
Thanks in advance.

I am working on a .NET application (VB.NET). We had to restore our SQL server database from yesterday's backup as we accidentally overwrote some tables. After restorign, we are able to log to the database alright from SQL Query analyzer and Enterprise manager but when we try to access it from the .NET application, it gives an error message "Cannot open database requested in login '****' login fails.
Login failed for user '****'". What could be the reason and what would be the solution?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I have a backup (.bak) of one 'AdventureWorks' database with me and need to restore it to the AdventureWorks database I have created in my SQL Server 2005 database. I go by the normal process --> restore from device and then select the path of the .bak file in my hard drive but it is giving the error "The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing database AdventureWorks".
Obviously I have got the backup file from a different source and would like to replicate the same database in my own machine.
Can anyone please help me find out why is this not working?
Regards.

Q--Is there any feature of sqlserver-2000 by which we can restore the database with minimum time by using the parallel processor?
if the answer is yes wht is the statistics with example
For example
Time reqd for restoring 20GB of database 25minutes.
with configuration of Xeon processor,1GB memory and no users are using the server.
Basic purpose of my question is i need to give a solution to the client by using which he will be able to restore 20GB of data in 1 minutes .Is there any 3rd party utility which is available in market or can we achive this in mssqlserver2000, itself by increasing the resources like memory,cpu etc.
Hello,
I'm testing "Point In Time" restoration for my system using both Database & Log backup files. (Database backup once a day; Log backup every 4 hours)
When I use T-SQL to perfrom the restoration, I can specify one .BAK file with numerous .TRN files and restore to any 'point of time' with no issue.
However, if I use EM to perform the same restoration, I can only specify one .BAK file with a maximum of two .TRN files (although I can see all the .TRN files) in order to restore the database properly. If I specify more .TRN files, after restoration, my DB will be in 'LOADING' status and can't be used.
Does anyone encounter the same problem before and know what is going on?
Thank You.
Hi All,
I am trying to restore sql 2000 database backup on sql 2005. I get below error.
SQL Server Assertion: File: <mdupgrad.cpp>, line = 3342 Failed Assertion = 'f' No object for Index!. This error may be timing-related. If the error persists after rerunning the statement, use DBCC CHECKDB to check the database for structural integrity, or
Error: 928, Severity: 20, State: 1.
During upgrade, database raised exception 3624, severity 20, state 1, address 000000000247E5A1. Use the exception number to determine the cause
Error: 3624, Severity: 20, State: 1.
I feel this could be due to upgrade from sql 2000 to sql 2005.
I could restore other 2000 databases successfully to 2005. However only this particular database is throwing this error.
Can anyone advise on this please.
Thanks in Advance

Hi All:Being a bit of a nube to MSSQL I could use a little advice. This is thesituation.A client's HDD became full so I backed up, deleted then recreated a blankdatabase (they said they didn't need the stored data).They have now deceided that they want the data again.My plan is to restore the database to a second volume so it can grow as muchas is needed, however, there is now data in the second instance that wouldneed importing to the restored DB.I can restore the backed up db with a different name and reconfigure thesoftware that accesses it but what would be the best method to append therestored DB with the data in the current instance of said DB? Both DBs areidentical.TIAMP
