I have a 95GB database (dump file is 73 GB) and I want to restore it on a different server.
I have created 95GB devices and tried to restore it, but it failed because of reason " page xxx had non-log objectid xxx while checking in syslogs" .
I tried locating the object on that page but it showed page is in cache.

Hi,
We have an order posting stored procedure that's been executing for 14 hours now. This procedure has simple update statements but all the tables updated have triggers which update other tables with triggers and so on.
This procedure hasn't commited yet. I have a full database backup from last night and transaction log backup from this morning while it was running. I want to kill this job and restore database from last backup. Only thing I am afraid of is that it will take too long to roll back which I have no estimate of time. Is there any faster way to get rid of all the uncommited transactions? Has anybody rolled back such a massive transaction? Any idea on how long it can take? Can it affect the overall server performance as this is the main production ERP server.
I can see in profiler that this procedure is still running and not hung.

See the SQL Server errorlog for more information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that, we tried same operation 3 times. But result is same.
After sometime, end-user report us that they can not log-in to database.
So we tried to dettach this database and attached it.
We success to dettach, but we can not attached it.
Also we tried to restore this database from Yesterday's backup file by using Enterprize Manager,

Hi,
I was wondering how I could restore a bkp file into a database with a different name. For example, I made a backup of T1.mdf and i want to restore t1.bkp to T2.mdf.
I am using VB.Net to do the backup and restore.
Is there any way of doing it?
Thanks!

I am having difficulty restoring a database (DB_1) with 2 datafiles and one log file, DB Structure is as following:
Filegroup PRIMARY with file name 'fnm_data' with physical file name and location D:dbfile_1.mdf,
Filegroup 'FG1' with file name 'fgnm1_data1' with physical file name and location F:dbfile_FG1.mdf,
One log file with file name 'fnm_log' with physical file name and location (E:loglog_db.ldf)
{Note} Logfile resides on E drive whereas Datafiles reside on several other drives.
I need to restore the DB on another machine. And I need to move the log file to a drive other than E.In this case it is K drive. Hence I have used the following code,
restore log DB_1 from disk='M:kupccciclog.txt'
WITH RESTRICTED_USER , MOVE 'fnm_log'
TO 'K:DBlog_db.ldf', recovery, replace,RESTART
go
When I try to restore from backup files, I keep error message saying "Physical file name E:loglog_db.ldf may be incorrect." 'fnm_log' cannot be restored. Use Move command to identify a valid location for the file.
Even though I am using Move command to move the log file.
Then I found that if I create a drive with E: and a folder named 'log' then restore program runs alright. That is, when E:log exists then code does run smoothly. All the restore code is looking for the presence of path of the log file from where it is been backed up. In this case it is E:log folder. Once the database is restored I could kill that directory and nothing happens. Also log file has been restored on K:DB only.
Why the restore code is looking for the initial drive letter and path even though I have used Move command? Is there an issue in my code?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

We have received a backup of a database from an external company for a project that we are taking over. We have attempted to restore the database and it fails giving us the error: "Internal consistency error occurred."
We have run the restore verifyonly command with the results: "The backup set is valid." However, I don't have confidence that the verify is telling the complete story.
It appears that the database is restored and the overall restore is failing on the transaction log file.
Any help is appreciated. This is rather urgent.

I just made the easiest, dumbest mistake: I did an update on a table without a where clause. I performed the query in Enterprise Manager. Can I reverse this operation?
Also curious if there is an "undo" functionality for update and delete
queries performed directly on the db?
Thanks!

Hello, I am a newbie to SQL 7.0. I have a 14 gig database, that this moring i accidently deleted rows out of a major table. I never issued a commit and the current log is 12gig. I tred the following -
RESTORE DATABASE WJR_SYSTEM_EVENTS WITH RECOVERY
I assume the above will restore the db from the trans log, since no commit was issed. Anyway, the error message I received was DATABASE MUST BE IN EXCLUSIVE MODE. I think its, since I have restricted users to just the sa. What is the proper produre to recover this database??

Hi all - I may be showing my ignorance here but I am in desparate need for some help on restoring my databases. Is there a way to restore/import/recreate a database directly from the .mdf/.ldf files. What has happened it that my hard drive containing my SQL data crashed and cannot be recovered. The only backup that I have of my SQL data is a direct copy of my entire DATA directory from the now ruined SQL install. I need to be able to restore those .mdf and .ldf files into a new instance of SQL. Is there a way to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve Mueller

Hi,
Can someone please help urgently. I have a number of databases that I have set maintenance plans for. I am trying to restore these databases by using a stored proceedure. It was successful on my testing server, but when i try it on the production servers i have an error:
Server: Msg 913, Level 16, State 8, Line 1
Could not find database ID 65535. Database may not be activated yet or may be in transition.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
If I do the following on the production machine it works:
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK =
'E:SQL_TEST_RestoreCPROD_db_200608220410.BAK'
restore database CPROD
FROM DISK ='E:SQL_TEST_RestoreCPROD_db_200608220410.BAK'
with recovery,
Move 'CPROD_Data' to 'E:SQL_DATAMSSQLDataCPROD_Data.MDF',
Move 'CPROD_Log' to 'E:SQL_DATAMSSQLLogCPROD_Log.LDF'
But this is not the point as the maintenance plan is set to have 15minute backups and if this was to be done manually It would take forever to restore all the databases.
I did find one differnece with the test and production servers:
The collation for my test box is LATIN1_GENERAL_CP1_CI_CS
and the production machine is LATIN1_GENERAL_CP850_CS_AS
Dont know if that helps. I can post the script if necessary
Thanks

Hey Folks,
I have inherited a project from a co-worker who has had a family tradegy, and I am trying to get up to speed with her project.
We have an SQL server 7 database which is getting backed up every night (by SQL itself) into a .BAK file. I need to know if it is possible to restore this file from the command line (a DOS prompt.) I know (or think I know) how to do it from within SQL Enterprise Manager, however the specific needs of this project require it be done from a command line on the machine.
I really am not an SQL guru...I don't even think I qualify as "knowing what I am doing" at all, so any advice you can offer will be greatly appreciated. This is kind og urgent, so your thoughts are welcome!
Thanks!
Mike

Hi all,
I have created a new database from a backup. When I run the application, it seems like it is not getting the right indexes but it is in Development environment. So, I ran a script to recreate the index by DBCC DBREINDEX(TABLENAME). Still not getting it right. mainly it is not using the primary key index. I believe that dbcc dbrenindex will also reindex primarykey indexes. Any one know, how to overcome this problem. It is a production issue and I would appreciate for your prompt advise.
Note: Does anyone has any script to drop the primarykey index and to recreate it.
Thanks,
Joe

Hello,
I have lost a table's contents and need to restore them urgently. I backed up the database. I selected the backup set in order to restore it, but the "Point in time restore " was disabled and I couldn't select it to set the time to which to restore.Could anyone tell me the reason behing that?
Another interesting thing is that when I backup a database, I only have two options for backing it up,
1. database complete
2. database differential
Thanks a lot,
Joe

Hi all
i create a setup project with visual studio 2005.
In this project i install cassini, sqlexpress, ajax and my site.
After this i have to restore a database i use for my application.
this is my code:
Server svr = new Server(@".SQLExpress");
Restore res = new Restore();
res.Database = "DbName";
res.Action = RestoreActionType.Database;
res.Devices.AddDevice(Application.StartupPath + @"DbName.bak", DeviceType.File);
.......
if i try to restore it in two machines (XP-Vista) where i have already installed sql server it works fine but when i try to restore it in a virgin machine i have a "Restore failed for Server 'MyServer' " error
So i suppose it's a problem of permission for user or is locked something in sqlexpress while it isn't in sql server
I try to change "Built-in account" in Configuration Manager from Network service to Local System but nothig
someone can help me?
thanks

There is a database located at remote location we wanted the same on the local server..so we backed it up then restored the same on the local server everything went successfull.
When i tried to create user it says the user is already existing, but nither can i see the user nor drop the one..(ofcourse not existing) it gives me an error 15023.
The other problem is that when i check the storedprocedures i can see and open them when i try to look for permissions or assign it by clicking permissions tab it says the specific stored procedure doesnot exist and gives me a sql-dmo error 21770.
I donno what do..help would be appreciated.

Trying to keep out sysadmins & sa during/between database RESTORE
Configuration:
WINNT Server Enterprise 4.0 w/SP5
SQL Server 7 Enterprise & SP1
2 SQL Servers:
Production Server
Standby server
I Backup (full backup) databases to disk on primary server (logical backup devices are physicaly located on a Standby server (dedicated gigabit NIC in each server for this process). Transaction logs are applied to the Standby server throughout the day.
Problem:
How to keep out "sa" and sysadmins from a database while I'm restoring (or between restores) to a standby server?
The database being restored cannot be in use during a restore.
If a DBA forgets that this process is happening, the statement fails (RESTORE)for the database they happen to be in at the time of the restore.
Example restore statement:
Standby Server -
RESTORE DATABASE databasename FROM database_dd WITH DBO_ONLY, REPLACE, STANDBY = 'g:Mssql7FromPrimaryDatabaseName_undo.ldf'
I could restrict Domain sysadmin access and change sa password. I could also put the database in "Single user" mode, however this could become problem if my process disconnects and then someone else connects - then my process is locked out. What I'm really looking for is to lock out all activity for a database that is in "standby mode" except for RESTORE processes.
Any ideas??
