I have a full backup done on a very important server 7 database. Now i have to test to see if it is saving okay and to do a mock restore to see how quickly we can restore same. The size of the file is about 700M. I would have to do my testing on a test server. How do I go about this.
Thanks.
Can SQL server7 restore a single table? If one table corrupted, do I have to restore the whole database for this table ?( It is awkward to restore the whole database only for a single table! especially the database is large!)
thanks,
anybody do database backup file testing ?
After you backup database to tape, do you do testing on file on tape ?
how frequent you do so ? and What the procedure?
Cheers
hi,
i'm new to this sql server thing. i hope somebody can help me out!
i would like to find a way to determine whether or not the automated
backup of the database has been done without using the sql mail
functionality. i'm not allowed to use that because it only runs for
the microsoft outlook and it cost too much space. the server is in one
of our clients and they do not have a db admin, and nobody wants to go
there can i do something????
Does anyone know the advantages of using a view over a store procedure? Are there any proformance differences?
thanks

we are having SQL server7.0 with DPT raid card which gives the problem of backup/restore through normal SQL backup in Enterprise manager.So we are not using the above procedure
but we have moved all the tables using SQL EXPORT to another new server.
Can you please give a solution to transfer Stored procedure from the server to new server

Hi,
The company finally bought a legitimate copy of SQL Server 7. There was nothing special on my trial version, so I chose the uninstall option from the start menu (it was on my Win95 PC). It removed the files, but didn't uninstall the registry bits though! When trying to install the proper version of SQL 7 it has detected the other version, but no files & won't let me install the legitimate version. Can anyone tell me how to get around this to install the new version?
Thanks

When I try to create a primary key for a table(alter table tablename add primary key( columnname)), I get a message
" SQL 1918. ( Index (key=2) is being rebuilt)."
Does any one have a clue, as to why do I get this. The primary key does get created ,but my application stops working, after getting this message.

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

hello everyone i was hoping to get some help.
i have sql server2000 and iis5.1 running and im using vbscript through asp.
i have a table that has two keys so that together they make a unique key.
so i am trying to test my table in asp so that if there is a duplicate unique key inserted then show an
error...
Can anyone help me?
I want to run remote procs from a local - central proc, but don't want to crash my proc if the remote NT Server or SQL Server is not available.
So, I want to test for NT and SQL availability first.
Here's my code.
====================
DECLARE
@DBName varchar(22),
@QueryString NVARCHAR(130),
@Resultsint,
@ResultsTxtvarchar(31)
/* I find the server-dbasename name in a lookup table, and then build dynamic script */
SELECT @DBName = "<SRVRNAME~DBASENAME>"
SELECT @QueryString = N'master..xp_cmdshell "ECHO >'
+ SUBSTRING(@DBName, 1,6)
+ 'pipesqlquery", no_output'
EXEC @Results = sp_executesql @QueryString
SELECT @Results /* <-- testing here.... */
=====================
If the NT / SQL is running, "@Results" should = 0 (success on the ECHO to the PIPE)
If the NT / SQL is NOT running, "@Results" should = 1 (error on the ECHO to the PIPE)
If I test in QA, I get the expected "@Results" values.
If I run the proc, I get "@Results" = 0 for both events, and them my proc fails on the remote proc call if the NT / SQL is NOT running.
I don't know how to write DMO in TSQL to try that.
I have also tried using 'odbcping' too.
HINTS? Better way to test remote NT / SQL is NOT running?
Thanks in advance.

Has anyone ever heard of using Response.Write to test sql queries in the query designer? Here is the actual suggestion I was given recently:
Response.write your sql query. Copy the query to your db query tool and run the query. Adjust the query as necessary to return the recordset you desire. When you have the proper query, adjust your asp code.
The query editor/designer doesn't like certain symbols and extraneous code. So how exactly can you use Response.Write with a sql query without getting errors in designer?
I've begun some testing with the June beta of SQL 2005. One problemI've hit is with scalar-valued functions. The error I often get whenexecuting functions is "Select statements included within a functioncannot return data to a client.". These same functions are workingfine under SQL 2000.Has anybody seen this behavior or know what the deal is?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've started researching on Unit Testing and I must admitI had never heard of Unit Testing until a couple of monthsago. Obviously I am interested in Unit Testing StoredProcedures.I read the TSQLUnit documentation (not all of it) and i also raninto a newsgroup post saying TSQLUnit is very small comparedto NUnit. The conclusion I am making out of this post is thatI should rather spend time resarching/reading about NUnit thanTSQLUnit. Is that a good assessment?I would like to you what you use and if you use actuallyUnit Testing or some other method? I ran into White Box/Black BoxQA testing. All these are new to me. Any good place to read about"Extreme Programming"? I ran into one link that I saved it at work.That's one place i will read more.Any links, documentation or books you would suggest?I searched Amazon and I didn't find anything interestingregarding SQL Server and Stored Procedures.Thank you
