SQL 2012 :: Creating Test DB From A Full Backup Of Production Database
Jul 23, 2014I am attempting to create a Test db from a full backup of the production db. With 2012, I cannot do it the the way i had done it in previous versions (and now i understand why because of Logical names).
The Test db runs in the same instance as Prod db.
I attempted to run this but come up with errors. This is what i executed:
RESTORE DATABASE TEST FROM DISK = 'E:<path>FULL.BAK'
WITH REPLACE, RECOVERY,
MOVE 'PROD' TO 'E:<path>TEST.MDF';
The errors are all cannot execute due to PROD is in use.
SQL Server 2008 :: Test Backup Restores (full And Log) - Restore Databases Automatically?
Apr 4, 2015I am working towards automating the process of testing our backups. For the meantime, I do it all manually - I copy the backup files (full + transaction logs) to our test server and then run the restore script. Once database restored I run the DBCC CheckDB. The results of checkdb I manually upload to our Sharepoint portal as proof that the backup file is intact with no errors.
here are some ideas I have but have not yet tested:
Create a maintenance plan with each 3 jobs:
--> Powershell script to copy the files from Prod server to Test server - add this scrip to Job1
--> Powershell script to restore databases files - add this script to Job2
--> Run the DBCC in powershell (yet to find if possible in PS) - add this script to Job3
I would like to use seperate jobs as to get a report on the duration and status of each job
Would also like to get the results of the DBCC Checkdb as proof that no errors were found for upload to our Sharepoint portal. Dont know if possible via the job.
DB Engine :: Replicate A Master Test Database To 100 Test Environments?
Oct 12, 2015We are setting up a test lab environment with 100 machines. We want one master testing db that gets replicated to each to run scripted application tests nightly.
My goal is to minimize the amount of work to move this thing to each of the 100 test machines. I am wondering if we need to even have the sql local and invest in a monster db server with 100 copies of the db we restore and each test machine point to their own db on that server, or if I should use db mirroring or something to get the master test db to each of those machines instead.

How To Test SSis Package And What Are The Things I Need To Test It ?
Nov 27, 2007
hi every one,
i need to test SSIS pacakge which will import data from different database where record count is around 5 millions.
iam planning to test it through c# code as well as manually also.
SSIS source : consist of 7 tables
SSIS destination :consist of 7 tables
Using c# code iam trying to run ssis package through batch file.
i am putting expected rowcount, column count in an excel file and comparing same with destination tables by writing query implementing ADO.Net concept.
am i going right way ,can any one suggest best and productive way to test the ssis package .
what are the other things i need to test it.
do any one can add test cases to it.
S.No
Test Case
1
Verify all the tables have been imported.
2
Verify all the rows in each table have been imported.
3
Verify all the columns specified in source query for each table have been imported
4
Verify all the data has been received without any truncation for each column.
5
Verify the schema at source and destination
6
Verify the time taken /speed for data transfer
7
Fields truncated due to difference in length of the field at destination.

View 4 Replies View RelatedBACKUP LOG Cannot Be Performed Because There Is No Current Database Backup. BACKUP LOG Is Terminating Abnormally.
Jan 31, 2008
Hi there
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
Thanks

View 9 Replies View RelatedTest For Changes With HashBytes
Sep 25, 2007Hi!
I am currently utilizing the checksum function to generate a hash that I later compare to detect changes in a row.
CHECKSUM(field1, field2, field3, field4)
Now I'd like to use the HashBytes function instead over the same fields. But the HashBytes function accepts only one data value. What is the most effective and reliable way of getting an MD5 over several fields?
Thanks
Test A Query
Apr 10, 2008Hi.
I have an application where I allow users to type in their SQL queries. Before I store those queries I have to make sure that they are correct, both syntax-wise and data type-wise. For that I execute the query against the database and trap any errors that may be returned and that's how I judge if the query was OK.
In order to keep this test as quick as possible, I tried to add a WHERE clause to it like: WHERE 1=2, so no results are returned. But then I discovered that the addition keeps errors from happening if they are of ata type nature.For instance "select orderid + 'test' from orders where 1=2", run against the Northwind database, returns no errors, while OrderID is numeric and U'm adding a string to it!
Next, I tried to return only one row: "select top 1 orderid + 'test' from orders". This time the error is thrown, however the query still takes a looong time when run on a huge table. I don't kknow why that is, but it seems that the engine runs the query for the entire table and then gets the first row!
Does anyone have an idea ehat's happening or have a better suggestion on how I can perform my test without killing the database?
Thanks.
Test For Null In Row

Is there some function that will tell me if any value in the row is null?

SQL Connectivity Test?
May 1, 2006Hi -
I'm having a problem with a VB6 program I'm writing that posts data to a SQL server. The problem occurs when the SQL server is unavailable. When this happens it causes the program to hang for at least 30 seconds before releasing. The hang happens at the code that connects to the SQL server, because the server isn't there. I've added code found on this site to test the connectivity prior to making my actual data connection, but this causes the same hang. Is there any way to verify connectivity to an SQL server without actually trying to make the connection? I'm really trying to eliminate the hang that occurs when the server is unavailable.
Thanks
Is This SQL Test Too Hard?
May 17, 2007I have gotten some criticism from coworkers regarding this test and just wanted to see what you guys think. I realize the wording could use improvement and any criticism towards making it easier to understand is much appreciated.FWIW - I had to solve this problem on the job so I feel it is a real-world test that helps me understand how people think and if they try to find alternate solutions.Thanks!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Given a table that has over 100,000 records…SUBSIDIARY=========PARENT_IDINTCHILD_IDINTULTIMATE_PARENT_IDINTCLEANUP_INDBIT…where each PARENT_ID can have multiple CHILD_ID values, but the PARENT_ID should not equal the CHILD_ID. After an initial data load, the ULTIMATE_PARENT_ID and CLEANUP_IND columns contain NULL values (see page 2 for sample data).ULTIMATE_PARENT_ID is defined as the topmost parent in the chain for the particular CHILD_ID record, so if the chain was only 2-level’s deep the ULTIMATE_PARENT_ID is the CHILD_ID’s PARENT_ID’s PARENT_ID.Please write an answer for all three questions below:A)Which of the following queries should you run first?B)Write an optimized query to identify the ULTIMATE_PARENT_ID for each CHILD_ID and set its value into the ULTIMATE_PARENT_ID column.C)Write a query to identify ALL of the circular references and mark each record that is a circular reference by updating the CLEANUP_IND column to 1.~~~~~~~~~ Page 2 ~~~~~~~~~ Sample Data, remember though this table has over 100,000 records and the parent-child chain can go n-levels deep – where n is not known.PARENT_IDCHILD_IDULTIMATE_PARENT_IDCLEANUP_IND1024512NULLNULL362300NULLNULL887541NULLNULL10221024NULLNULL546887NULLNULL5122305NULLNULL112967NULLNULL697123NULLNULL901452NULLNULL2300666NULLNULL334445NULLNULL512903NULLNULL884554NULLNULL313313NULLNULL554884NULLNULL112119NULLNULL967555NULLNULL2305333NULLNULL33336NULLNULL541546NULLNULL10301020NULLNULL112999NULLNULL

Dec 5, 2007Hi,
Whats the best way to test scalability on a database? I'm working on a new app, and have handed off developing the database to someone with more experience. Some tables will grow to many million records, and I don't want it to bottleneck. I need to have it fully tested before it goes live.
Is it reasonable to ask the person helping me to fill it with 10's of millions of rows to test performance? Is this a decent solution? If so, what would the best way to fill it be? If not, what steps should I take?
Thanks very much!

DR Test Scenario
Apr 25, 2007Hello All
We have Asynchronous DB Mirroring established for our Production database
which runs on SQL Server 2005.
For the DR Test we plan to do the following during the period of low activity :
1. Pause the mirroring on the Principal Server.
2. Break the mirror on the Mirror Server
3. Take on offline backup on the Mirror.
4. Bring the Mirror Database up.
5. Run the DR Tests on the Mirrored Database
6. Restore the Offline Backup taken in step 3.
7. Reestablish the mirror from the Principal to Mirror.
8. Resume Mirroring on the Principal Server.
9. Verify Mirroring is happening on the Mirror Server
Can u please let me know if this plan is feasible and if there should be any modifications to the plan that are required. Any other suggestions/input is appreciated.
TIA
Best,
Jay

Test Run A Subscription
Nov 30, 2007
Is there a way to manually run a subscription? I have a report with an email subscription. The only way I know of to test it is to set the schedule for a minute or two in the future and wait for it to run. Is there any way of telling the subscription to "run now"?
For that matter, how can I run a subscription manually from a Stored Procedure?
Thanks,

SQL Licensing In Test Lab
Apr 11, 2007We are setting up a strictly test lab with virtual servers. One of the servers will have SQL loaded on it that other servers will hit. The question is can we use our MSDN license for SQL? If not what kind of license do we need. We also need to know about the licensing of the OS on the virtual machines so if anyone knows the information about that it would be great to get.
