I am running a Win2K Professional and SQL Server 2000. I also installed Sysbase on my pc. I tried to import Sysbase database from SQL Server 2000 manager but I could not see Sysbase ODBC driver. Does any body know how can I get the Sysbase ODBC driver.
Thanks.
Hi
Has anyone done this before, I have been given some flat files for a Sybase database to import into SQL server. Yet SQL server doesn't want to know. I have a .db and .log, but SQLserv er doesn't like either of them.
However I'm not sure what to do, I have been given a .db and .log . but SQL server doesn't like either of these, is their something I should do to make it compatable? First tie I've ever look at Sysserver so please use short words, Thanks Ed
Being a very novice SQL Server administrator, I need to ask the experts a question.
How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:. Can someone provide me with instructions?
Thanks,
Rick
How to backup half of dbs from a server on C drive and the other half on D drive and vice versa, first half on D drive and other half On C drive using only one job and one stored procedure??
Using scheduling from job add 2 schedules to the job so first schedule backup first half to C and second half to D , the second schedule backup first half to D and second half to D.

I have been trying to use openrowset with a shared drive, and even though the share has "full control" permissions granted to "everyone" and the accout that SQL runs under has been granted explicit full control permissions I am unable to open the file which itself has no security on it.
Can I not use a \ path and only use mapped drives?
Thanks
below works...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
below doesn't work...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=\cluster02FileManager5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
I am trying to move a log file from one drive to another.
What I have done is add another file to my file group. So now my log has a file on the 'e' drive and one on the 'f' drive. I now want to remove the file on the 'e' drive. I have emptied the file on the 'e' drive. When doing the command:
ALTER DATABASE Uniprodruntime
REMOVE FILE m_rk_runtime_log
I get the following error message..
Server: Msg 5020, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The primary data or log file cannot be removed from a database.
I have also gone into enterprise manager and tried to delete the file and it does nothing.
Has anyone run into this?
How do you compare SAN drive vs local drive on a 32 bit server?
Is it good idea to move my DB files to a SAN instead of local?

Server: SQL 2008 R2
1: TempDB keeps getting filled. Restart of the server has not fixed it. I shrink it, but the space gets filled again. Now I can't even shrink it anymore
2: TempDB is at the wrong location. Its current location is this :C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
How do I change its location?
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.SQLPROD6MSSQLDATA empdb
Correct location of TempDB should be: TempDB(T:) But its not there

I would like to know the 'best' way to migrate an existing S2K server database from the 'C' drive to another drive on the same machine.
Thank you
We installed MS SQL Server to our drive D drive E was the CDROM Drive.We wanted to move the CDROM drive to drive D and the hard drive to driveE. We change that around and corrected the registry entries -repointing everything to drive E instead of D. SQL Server however willnot start it says it cannot find the databases. Where is thisinformation stored. How can I go about changing it?~Todd
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have always installed SQL Server (2000 and 2005) on the c drive of the server, and placed the data and log files on seperate disks.
Our network administrator says it should be installed on the d drive and c should be left just for the windows install. Is there any benefit in this? It seems to be causing a problem with our SAN having SQL Server installed on the c drive. Anyone else had similar problems?
Thanks

Hi,
Anyone ever try to access a NetWare drive from within SQL Server. I have setup a netware account that matches the NT account that the SQL service runs under and given this account the necessry access to the drive. When I do a xp_cmdshell 'dir h:' (h: being the netware drive) I get an 'Access is denied' error.
Any help much appreciated.

Hi All,
I've been trying to find the answer but been unable to. My question is it possible to create a SQL Server (2005) database in a usb2 drive? I have a large usb drive that i would like to store my database into instead of my local drive which is not that big.
Thanks
Good Morning guys n Gals.
New user on these forums, so basically, hey, how are yas?
I have a bit of a situation, and have done a search - although not much info has turned up relating to my situation (maybe my search was just useless).
Anyways, basically, I run SQL Server 6.5 on NT4 server.
The disks were striped - not RAIDED.
What happened was, the 4th disk died, and we replaced it with a new blank drive.
Now, I am left with two DAT files (log and data) for my database.
I cannot remember how large these were created as it was many years ago.
I have no backups.
Reseting the status hasn't worked, also I have tried creating a new DB / Devices (in size similar to those reported in windows), and "moving" the devices to point to the original ones, but no luck: and thus was wondering if anybody had any hint / tips or ideas?
Cheers,
Jamie
Howdy y'all! :)
I have been instructed to move a large database we have on one of our servers off the current drive (local RAID-5 driveset in the server) to a EMC "drive" (logical drive, off-server).
I know one option is to back up the database, delete the database, re-create the db using the new drive for data/log files, then restore the database.
However, I was wondering if it would be better to just detach the DB, move the data/log files, then reattach to them?
Is it half-doz of one, and 6 of the other?
How should I go about this dastardly deed?
Off to poke around in BOL, but thought I would post first in case it's an incredibly easy answer for y'all
Thanks!
I have a Windows 2003 server with SQL Server 2005 installed. Theserver is on small drive and we would like to upgrade to much largerharddrives. I've been hearing of problems using Ghost to get an imageand placing the image onto the new drive. I think this is more of aWindows 2003 problem, but this server is for nothing but the SQLServer databases. Does anyone have a clear method of moving thisserver to the larger drives?TIA.

I'm trying to build a new cluster with SQL Server 2K Enterprise onWindows 2003 server. When I run the install, I tell it to put theprogram files on the D: (local) drive and the data/log files on shareddrives. However, after the installation is complete, almost all thefiles go in the C: drive in program filesMicrosoft SQL Server, ratherthan the D: drive (it does create a few files on D:). We've experiencedthis on more than one server build.Anyone know any way around this?Post answers publicly, please, or email tosteven.wechsler(at)mtvstaff.com (the posting email address is hosed).Thanks,Steve

I created two partitions for my hard drive. The C drive which holds all of the Windows 2003 server operating system files and E drive which will be just for data and applications. The C drive is only 30GB while the E drive is 119GB. I need to be able to install in the application on the E drive. I already tried creating a folder on the E partition named program files with the sql2005 folder in it when I go through the installer package. SQL server still wants to be installed on the C drive. Is there anyway I can change this so it gets installed on the E partition. Thank You

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have an application in which we would like to have a SQL Server database, the database manager and an application program all resident on a USB drive. When the USB drive is connected to a Windows based computer, the database should be viewable without requiring installation of the SQL Server software on the computer. The concept is similar to that of the U3 Smart USB systems.
I am aware that Microsoft and SanDisk have a joint research project in progress that is expected to result in a replacement for the U3 software sometime in 2008.

I am having an Access database on a shared network drive which has read/write access rights on the that shared network drive.
When I try to Access data through the linked server it gives me gives me a message box saying you do not have permissions to view the data.
Also if i try to use xp_cmdshell to copy over the mdb file to my local drive it say 'Access denied'
But when I copy (through command prompt) the same file to another network drive or my local drive where I have full control the linked server can connect sucessfully.
The problem is the i cannot have 'full control' permissions on shared drive where my database resides.
Has anybody encountered this problem....
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have a rather odd problem that hopefully you'll be able to shed some light on.
We want to back up the databases to a hard drive held on another server so I mapped the drive in explorer to the drive then went into Enterprise manager and tried to create a backup device and it won't see the mapped drive.
I've tried mapping to my PC and I can see that via enterprise managers backup stuff (infact any PC in the office works) but it won't see any of the servers even though we can map to them and access them via windows explorer.
I've tried when logged on via sa and the windows NT administrator and still no luck. In fact no matter what I type or do it fails and keeps telling me device error or device off line which it isn't.
On our test instance of SQL Sever we can backup to other servers but not the new live version!
Any thoughts on what might cause this to happen and how to fix it?
Help much appriciated.
Thanks Helen

On the drive that SQL server is install on which is the C drive the amount of space is 495mb, can the amount of space be a potential problem, I am so used to looking at the drives that contains the data and log files and the backup.
So My question is should I also concern myself with the drive the sql server itself is installed on?
Thanks
