Hello,
I am working on a project. We do not have a DBA, so I am performing some of these tasks.
I recently created a new database with about 10 tables. I have set up the key and primary key relationships between the data files.
How do I save the database through differenct stages of it's evolution? Suppose I populate the database, but later on decide that I we need to re-start from scratch and go back to the new database I created that is not populated. How do I save different versions of a database through it's evolution/progression?
Thanks in advance, Bill

Hi all,
On my server running SQL7.0 with SP2, I try to backup my database to a file.
All works well if I run the backup manually, but when I use the schedule option, when I close the Backup properties window and open the window again, the schedule is gone...
Does anyone of you know how to get this working?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I took the backup of a database (called students) from one of the machine on our LAN and then tried to restore it on another machine but am unable to restore the database. Below are some details of the problem I am facing:
- The machine on which I am trying to restore the database (i.e. target box) previously had a database by the same name (no it was not a replica). I had deleted this database from the target box before trying to restore the database (of the same
name and which was backed-up from the source box)
- When trying to restore (via EM) I get a VERY LONG dialog box with lots of details. Below are some details of what this dialog box says:
The title of the database is MS SQL-DMO (ODBC SQL State: 42000) and It says "The physical name 'C:Program Files.....datastudents.mdf' may be incorrect. File 'students_Data' cannot be restored to 'C:Program Files.....datastudents.mdf'. Use with MOVE to identify a valid location for this file.
And the dialog box provides similar details related to 'students.ldf'
Can u please help me with this.

I've been struggling with this for a few days now, so I guess it's time to ask for help. I'm working on a VB Express 2005 Single form windows application that uses a SQL Express 2005 two table data base. I can read and write to the database with no problems. I just can't back it up. I haven't tried restores yet. I created the database in SQL Server Management Studio Express and then connected to it from the VB Express application.
My.Settings.UsersConnectionString is
Data Source=.sqlexpress;AttachDbFilename="C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataUsers.mdf";Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
I used the following code to establish a connection to the server that is the userinstance
Dim SqlConnection As SqlClient.SqlConnection = New SqlClient.SqlConnection(My.Settings.UsersConnectionString)
Dim ServerConnection As ServerConnection = New Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection(SqlConnection)
Dim srv As Server = New Server(ServerConnection)
I am able to confirm the connection to the UserInstance via a message box that displays the instance name
MsgBox(srv.InstanceName.ToString)
Then this code follows:
Dim db As Database
db = srv.Databases("USERS")
Dim bk As New Backup
'Specify the type of backup, the description, the name, and the database to be backed up.
bk.Action = BackupActionType.Database
bk.BackupSetDescription = "Full backup of Users"
bk.BackupSetName = "Users Backup"
bk.Database = "USERS"
'Declare a BackupDeviceItem by supplying the backup device file name in the constructor, and the type of device is a file.
Dim bdi As BackupDeviceItem
bdi = New BackupDeviceItem(AppDir & "Test_Full_Backup1.bak", DeviceType.File)
'Add the device to the Backup object.
bk.Devices.Add(bdi)
bk.Initialize = True
'Set the Incremental property to False to specify that this is a full database backup.
bk.Incremental = False
'Set the expiration date.
Dim backupdate As New Date
backupdate = New Date(2008, 10, 5)
bk.ExpirationDate = backupdate
'Specify that the log must be truncated after the backup is complete.
bk.LogTruncation = BackupTruncateLogType.Truncate
'Run SqlBackup to perform the full database backup on the instance of SQL Server.
bk.SqlBackup(srv)
'Inform the user that the backup has been completed.
MsgBox("Full Backup complete.")
Unfortunately, the line bk.SLQBackup(srv) errors off advising that - Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ExecutionFailureException {"An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch."} Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ExecutionFailureException
and that
+ InnerException {"Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'USERS'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally."} System.Exception
So I went to SQL Server Management Studio Express and ran the query
use master
select * from sysdatabases
Among other lines the query returned
USERS 5 0x010500000000000515000000358A021AFA4F0C2F828BA628AD8A0200 0 1073807369 1627389952 2007-03-16 10:04:42.320 1900-01-01 00:00:00.000 0 90 C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataUsers.mdf NULL
so it appears to me that the entry for database USERS is really there.
Any ideas as to what I need to do so that I can add a program feature to backup the data are greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
MF
Hello,
My name is Elizabeth and I'm a SQL newbie.
So we do SQL 2005 Database backup daily. At one point, we have to restore the backup. However, we cannot restore it whatsoever; it keeps saying that the database is in use.
It is actually a SQL Database for a CRM Server. I stop the internet service, so CRM or any other instances cannot pull up information from the SQL Database. I try running sp_who and killing the processes that are still using the database, but those processes keep coming back again.
Here is the error that I keep getting.
Could anyone please help me on this one? Thanks in advanced!

I created a dummy database (TomsTest) and then I try to restore my other database "DEV" to it.Normally, you have to use the Move for both the mdf and ldf files to tell it to restore to another database.But the message I am getting is: The file 'D:SQLDataTomsTest.mdf' cannot be overwritten. It is being used by database 'TomsTest'.
USE [master]
RESTORE DATABASE [DEV] FROM DISK = N'D:SQLBackupDEV_backup_2014_05_28.bak' WITH FILE = 1,
MOVE N'Dev' TO N'D:SQLDataTomsTest.mdf',
MOVE N'DEV_log' TO N'D:SQLDataTomsTest_log.ldf', NOUNLOAD, REPLACE, STATS = 5
Of course it is in use, that's always the case. Even if I put it in single use mode, it still doesn't work.I tried it on another machine and had the same problem. Not sure why. If I call it the same name, it works fine but I don't want to overwrite the original database, I just need to get some data from the backup.
I am using sql server 2005 and unable to restore backup file(.bak) file when i ry to restore it to other database it shows following error
restore failed for server (microsoft.sqlserver.smo)
additional information:
system.data.sqlclient.sqlerror : the media set has 2 media families but only 1 are provided.All members nust be provided.(microsoft.sqlserver.smo)
I get the following error in a log file created in the osql command:
Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Server KAC2KGS2, Procedure usp_Kaman_Full_SqlDB_Backup, Line 150
Cannot open backup device 'x:Servername_master_sqlbu_200703101930.bkf'.

details.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Server KAC2KGS2, Procedure usp_Kaman_Full_SqlDB_Backup, Line 150
BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
The device is established in a CMD file right before the osql command is started that starts my stored procedure. The CMD in this file is:

echo backup SQL Databases on server will start now
osql -E -n -d %1 -i %2kaman_full_sqldb_backup.sql -h-1 -o %3\%Computername%_kaman_full_sqldb_backup.log
In the stored procedure I try to use the x: drive and that does not work. I have tried obtaining the \192.168.x.x address and that only works on some of my servers. All are running SQL 2000, some are using Win2K and Win2003. It does not seem to matter. One of them that is using Win2003 only fails occationally.
I notice when I do a
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'x:'
The system cannot find the drive specified.
Yet, when I go to the server there is an x drive.
I am using the sqlserv user to run the job and that use is an administrator on the local machine. This is a virtual machine. We add the X before the osql and drop it after the command finishes.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, dbmsql
HELP!
For the past several weeks, I have been trying to install SQL Server 2005 on a Win XP SP2 PC. Regardless of the options I choose (SQL Engine + Client Tools, Client Tools only, etc.) when the installation gets to the end of the Client Tools setup and the setup status displays "Removing Backup Files", my PC appears to hang.
For a period of time, there is a fair amount of HD activity which gives me the impression that files are in fact being deleted, but then there is no HD activity and the installation appears to hang. Finally I give up and kill the setup process and reboot.
After reboot, it appears that the client tools have been installed (the icons appear and I can open the Management Studio, but when I try to connect to an existing instance of SQL, that hangs. This occurs for either Windows or SQL authentication.
Has anyone experienced this behavior and determined the root cause? What EXACTLY is happening during the "Removing Backup Files" phase of the installation?
Thanks for any help in advance,

I've recently started working with a public sector organisation who have 4 clustered sql instances that has 80% of it's db mirrored.
Looking at the transaction log - it seems that a transaction log backup is a good idea as the log is 4x larger than the data file.But I'm not allowed access to the physical server to check onto which drive I can create the trn. No RDP, no vmware - let's be honest I'm not even allowed to launch cmd line Also the Server Manager informs me "We will need to carefully look at database backups if you guys want to start doing these backups on box, as that will break our off box backup routine (it will screw the transaction chain)."
I don't understand how backing up the transaction log could break the "transaction chain"?
We are in need of a solution to our problem. We are working for a customer and cannot use their database to work on during development. We have copied the layout and made a sample db for our development.
Rather than writing down all the changes we make to our own db and then making the same changes to the customer's, is there a better way? Can we use something like sourcesafe?
Thankyou
I've got a few SQL Servers at work which are development servers using SQL Server Standard Edition. I would like to downgrade them to SQL Server Developer Edition to save the Standard Edition licenses for production purposes. However, i do not wish to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server Developer Edition, restore all the dbs. Is there a way to change the version of the SQL Server ?

Hi All,
Can we have 2 versions of SQL Server on the same server? Example, can I install SQL Server 2000 and 2005 on the same server? Please let me know about all the combinations possible/not possible.
Thanks a lot.

Is there a way to do the following -- I need to be able to update a table based on a selection by a DDL. So here are my two update queries:
1. Update RequestData Set Approved = True Where DeptID = @DeptID2. Update RequestData Set Approved = True (Yes I need to be able to do all of the rows at once.)
But it's all based on the selection of the DDL---I really don't want to have to create two seperate sql commands any ideas?
Is there a way to remove old versions of a DTS package without rewriting the entire package?
These packages run fine but take up more space than I am willing to allocate.
I understand the SANs are only Supported by SQL Server 2000 Enterprise and no other versions of SQL, can anyone supply information to the contrary please?

Hi,
Our server has SQL Server 2003 installed, I'd like to use SQL Server Express 2005 as I'm about to try and learn ASP.NET and most tutorials use that.
Will installing Express 2005 conflict with the Server 2003? Can both version be run on one server?
Thanks.
I'm running a SQL 7 db on a LAN in city A with other users accessing it fromanother city (city B) over a WAN. Obviously the WAN users are getting muchslower access to the data. One thing I was wondering was if it was possibleto have two versions of the database, one on each server, and have themautomatically synchronize as users at each location make changes. Or, ifthat's not possible, then at least have the city B users get any changesthat the city A users get as they are made.Thanks for any input.Neil

We will be upgrading from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. From what I have read, as part of the installation of SQL 2005 we will be installing the .Net framework 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005.
We currently have production .Net applications which were developed in Visual Studio 2003 with the .Net framework 1.1.
We plan at some point to upgrade our applications to Visual Basic 2005, but we were planning on upgrading to SQL 2005 first.
I have a couple of questions about this.
1) We are a small shop and the same server which hosts our production applications also hosts SQL server for our model office and test applications. Can we have both versions of the common language runtime running on the same server?
2) Our .Net applications access the SQL data through stored procedures or views. I have run the Upgrade Advisor and it does not look as though there are any signficant upgrade issues with our SQL database objects, so we are tentatively planning on changing the compatibility levels of our databases to 90 after they are imported to SQL 2005. Assuming we take care of any SQL issues that we do have with our database objects, should we expect to encounter problems running our existing applications, under the older version of vb.net, and accessing our databases once we have upgraded to SQL 2005? (Of course we plan to test everything, but I just wanted to know if we should anticipate anything in particular.)
Thanks.
