The SQL Server is running full recovery model but they would like it to be changed to simple while the data backup occurs then set back to full. Is there a way to do this in a stored procedure or is it all done via options ? Thanks
View 8 RepliesGiven the follwoing scenario: You create a snapshot of a database with full recovery model, change it's recovery model to simple, then perform several updates/modifications on the database, before you finally (due to an error) restore the database from the snapshot.
Will the log chain be broken or not? The resteore sets the recovery model back to full, but I'm still a bit "curious" about the transaction logs.
We have the following scenario,
We have our Production server having database on which Few DTS packages execute every night. Most of them have Bulk Insert stored procedures running.
SO we have to set Recovery Model of the database to simple for that period of time, otherwise it will blow up our logs.
Is there any way we can set up log shipping between our production and standby server, but pause it for some time, set recovery model of primary db to simple, execute DTS Bulk Insert Jobs, Bring it Back to Full recovery Model AND finally bring back Log SHipping.
It it possible, if yes how can we achieve this.
If not what could be another DR solution in this scenario.
Thanks Much

Is there any way to change the 'type' of a stored procedure from 'user' to 'system'?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello all,
I have discovered that you cannot use the "USE" command in a stored procedure to change to another database.
Is there any way I can change to another database within a stored procedure besides calling another stored procedure on the database I want?
Thanks,

I need to create a stored procedure in the master database that canaccess info to dynamically create a view in another database. Itdoesn't seem like it should be very hard, but I can't get it to work.Here's an example of what I want to do.CREATE PROCEDURE create_view @dbname sysnameASBEGINDECLARE @query varchar(1000)SELECT @query = 'use ' + @dbname + ' go CREATE VIEW ........'EXEC(@query)ENDIn this case, I get an error with the word "go". Without it, I get a"CREATE VIEW must be the first statement in a batch" error. I tried asemicolon in place of "GO" but that didn't help either.Thanks

After I changed the activation stored procedure of a queue, the old activation stored procedure keeps being launched by the service associated with the queue. I turned the queue off and on, but to no avail. I also checked the dynamic view sys.service_queues to make sure the proper stored procedure exists in the field activation_procedure. Do you have any idea about what might have gone wrong?
Thanks
How to create a stored procedure to query the data mining model?
Where can I find some sample code?
Thanks.
Joe.
I have a stored proc which will be fed a value that is compared to a char value for a selection. One of the choices might be 'all' for which I want to return all records. Something like this
create procedure name @location char(40)
as select ----------------
where locname like @location
I tried using LIKE COALESCE but no luck. Any ideas

Here's the deal:
I import a flat file from a legacy system, and then convert it into a single table. That works simply enough.
Then I have a SP that querys that table using a parameter for an accountID. My business tier calls that SP and returns the results to the calling tier (my web application). Easy enough...
Now for the question. The people who created the flat file (written in COBOL) decided to use "codes" to represent data. So, for instance, if I'm looking for the account plan, I can expect to see characters like ], or [, or +, etc... These characters have a special meaning, like:
] = Plan A
[ = Plan B
+ = Plan C, and so on.
Currently, the web application displays those characters, but I want it to display the actual plan name. Is there a way that when I execute the SP, the SP could pull the necessary records, and whenever it encounters a certain "plan" character, it could convert it into a "readable" name? Say that it sees that the plan_type field has a value of "]" for twenty records, so it converts those twenty records' plan_type value from "]" into "Plan A"? I'm not sure if I can do that, but I want to at least evaluate the option if I can.
I've evaluated other options, like using a CASE statement in my code, but I shot that down quickly...for obvious reasons. I don't wanna be changing my web application or business tier each time these guys update a plan name, or add a new one, delete an existing one, etc...
I've also thought about creating a dictionary table than contains the plan's code and its name, and then just INNER JOIN the first table with the dict table. This would keep my SP very simple (it's very straight-forward right now, and I like that). That way, if a plan name is ever changed, or a new one is added, I simply update the dict table using a simple query. However, if my SP is doing the conversion, I could just as easily update the SP.
Either of these methods would work for me, and I *do* know how to do the latter (dict table). However, there are quite a few other fields that I may have to do this for. I believe when I left for the day on Friday, my last count was 14 fields total that needed translation. That would mean 14 different dict tables! That could certainly affect my SP performance with all those INNER JOINS!
Therefore, I'm certainly interested in figuring out if it's possible to do the former method (SP), and then I shall decide which method is best for my situation.
Feel free to include your thoughts on which process you think is better as well. I'm really riding the fence with this one. However, if I can't find out how to change field values in my SP, then obviously I'll make a decision very quickly...
Thanks in advance.

SQL Server 2000 SP3.
Prior to SP3 the recovery model was switched to simple during transfer (Copy object task) and changed back to the previouis setting after DTS was complete.
Nice thing because performance was increased and T-Log was keep small.
Now I assume that the recovery model is switched to bulk-logged causing the T-Log to explode, to be onest not in all my databases.
1.Is my interpretation regarding recovery model correct?
2.Does anybody knows the reason of this change?
Any suggestion is really appreciate.
Thank you very much - kind regards.
Hello,
I'm new to MS SQL Server I want to know which recovery model is good, Full or Bulk Logged as I'm doing full backup at 11:00 PM and diffential Backup at 12:30 PM and from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM 15 min log backups.
Please guide me which recovery model should I choose.

What would be the best Recovery Model for: a database which is 4 gig in size and imports via MSAccess queries and also stored procedures approximately 400,000 meg of data each month (and some other update queries are run against it) and it is also queried off of for totals on weekly basis?
The problem is that the SQL Server box only has 512 meg of memory and the tranlog on this database grows tremendously each import and when update queries are run against it. This tends to slow things down a bit on our other databases. We are getting a new SQL Server box but until then, what would be the best recovery model? I currently have it as Bulk-Logged and allow the tranlog to grow by 10% (with a base of 250 meg). The tranlog grows to up to 5-10 gig and in order to shrink it, I have to change the recovery model to Simple, and then back to Bulk-Logged in order to shrink it (I've tried all the dbcc shrinkdatabase, dbcc shrinkfile, dbcc showcontig, and dbcc checkdb commands as well as BACKUP LOG dbName WITH TRUNCACTE_ONLY and nothing will shrink it unless I change the recovery model to simple.)
I can't understand what is diff between simple & bulk-logged recovery

I have a stored procedure that takes a date range and returns all the sales in that date range. I'm trying to create the report model for ad-hoc reporting. When I go to create the dataset view, it only lets me select tables or views.... how do I get around this?

We are using a .bat script to restore several client dbs onto our sql server 2000 db. We want to set the client dbs from full recovery to simple. What command should I use in the .bat file to make this change?
.bat file ==
:: Second, restore data from SQL Server backup file to SQL server...

We have a fairly large database that we use to store mom alerts and it stopped alerting as it's transaction log became full. I suggested to the owner of the database to set the simple recovery model so the log could automatically be truncated. However, it appears that the database is frequently reaching it's limit (of 3gb) and I'm having to set the limit even higher on a daily basis. Can anyone tell me why this is occuring? I understood that when the log file reaches 70% it should automatically shrink?
Kind Regards

I cannot think of any reason, in our environment, why I would recover the model database. Change framework has all databases coming from DEV & QA before landing on PROD. We have never used the model database as framework of new databases either.
So, if I discontinued backup of the database, what is my recovery method if it become corrupt? Since mine is not used, can I simply copy it from another server?
Hi:
I am having lot of log problems with Subscription databases. Currently all my subscription databases are on Full recovery mode. I am thinking to change them to simple because I don't I will be doing point in time recovery of them.
Do the subcription databases have to be on Full mode? Can I change them to simple to keep my log small and then I do not have to backups of my logs also? Please let me know.
Thanks
Hi all,I have a SQL Server 2000 database that is using the Full recoverymodel. The database is purely receiving inserts (and plenty of them)with maybe some view/table creation for reporting.In this state I would expect the log to grow ad infinitum but it getsto about 32% used and then empties.The log is not being backed up at all so am I missing something else?CheersDee

Hi All,
SQL newbie here. I just looked at my Job Activity monitor and found that my Transaction log backups are failing. I looked at the error and it read as follows:
Executing the query "BACKUP LOG [OperationsManager] TO DISK = N'D:\SQL\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\OperationsManager\OperationsManager_backup_200805061000.trn' WITH RETAINDAYS = 1, NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'OperationsManager_backup_20080506100001', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
" failed with the following error: "The statement BACKUP LOG is not allowed while the recovery model is SIMPLE. Use BACKUP DATABASE or change the recovery model using ALTER DATABASE.
BACKUP LOG is terminating abnormally.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
I read some of the posts regarding this error, but I am not sure how to do the steps. How do I change the recovery model? I am new to this so I have no clue how to do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
How can I get the information that who has changed my SQL database recovery model ?
