i have a copy of a SQL Server 2000 database on an external hardrive.
I have SQL Enterprise Manager 2005 on my laptop and was wondering if
it is possible to view the backup on my laptop when external hard
drive is plugged in.
What other software/tools/procedures do i need to do to make the
backup "viewable"

I've written a custom script to delete backup files from location. But unable to modify now to count the number of files are deleted. How to modify the script...
/* Script to delete older than N days backup from a specific directory */
USE [db_admin]

IF OBJECT_ID('usp_DeleteBackup', 'P') IS NOT NULL
DROP PROC usp_DeleteBackup
GO

It is very intersting to find out that when we are backuping a database we are not able to specify a shared folder .Why?Is it because security concern or it is idenfied as bug or is there any work around.Only thing we are able to specify is that it points to the local drive of the particular server. Help would be more appericated.

Hi
I want to change the default backup location of MSSQL. I know we can configure it while installing. But I want to change the default backup location of a particular database, running on a database server.
The default location is like.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
My customers are having problems to restore their own db.
They use SQL Server Management Studio and when they try to restore their db from a device and add the backup file an error message comes up stating that the user does not have permission to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLBackup.
How can I set a different backup location for each user?
Kindest regards,
Tito Duarte
SQL Server service accounts; the default (and recommended) service account is NT ServiceMSSQLServer virtual service account - which is shown as MSSQLSERVER locally - if you want to assign permissions to a local location. Fine, that's OK, works.
For network resources, as far as I understand it (or think I do, anyway), a virtual service on a box is made visible to the network using the <Domain><Computer>$ credential. Eg for box Bimble on Domain Wimble - if I want to give access to a directory on backupServer1, I simply assign rights to WimbleBimble$ and SQL Server should get those rights.
This, or so I thought, should allow SQL Server access to that location. The thing is, when trying to access that location, it's throwing an access denied error. But it works fine with LocalSystem.
Do I need to do some additional configuration to allow the Virtual Service account to be shown via <Domain><Computer>$ ?
When attempting to backup a database using Management Studio, I receive a ""Cannot verify the esistence of the backup file location. Do you want to use the backup file location anyway?" yes/no messsage afer entering a file directory which exists. When entering a new directory, when I select "yes," a file locaiton will not be created, however, the backup operation continues to success. Originally, I had configured the sql services to execute under a user account with domain admin and administrative privledges, and I vverified the folder's security config permited write access. I reinstalled and now al SQL services are executing as "Local System" (or "Network Service") with same problem.
Any recommendations as to how to correct what I am doing wrong? (Thanks).
Jamie

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

Hi all,
I'm very new to SQL Server having previously worked with Oracle 10g for the last couple of years.
Anyway, in Oracle there is a view called V$SQL that provides information about SQL that is or has recently been executed. I'm trying to find a similar sort of functionality in SQL Server.
Basically, what I'd like to do is list all of the SQL statements that are running at a given moment. Or even better would be a way of listing all statements that have run in the last 10 minutes.
Appreciate any help for a newbie.
We're on SQL Server 2000 8.00.194
Cheers
Kloid
Is there any way, in enterprise manager or otherwise, for me to view the last few SQL statements executed against my sql server?Thanks

Is it possible to view the transaction log to identify events run against a database.
I know that I could create a trace file to log events.
But what I really want to know is whether there is any way to actually view the live .ldf transaction log file and make sense of it.
It is possible to do something similar in Informix.
How can I view the transaction log for a particular database. We are trying to track down when a delete occurred and wanted to look there to find it, unless there is a better place to look.
Thanks
Can any one tell me how you view the transaction log records since we don't have a syslogs anymore?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHoly MOLY I've been banging my head up against the wall on this matter for months now. I have two databases and I need to be able to see the tables from different different databases. Usually I create a view like this
LicensingActions.dbo.License_Suspensions
But it wasnt working kept telling me that the License_Suspensions table didnt exsist and at the time the name was in all caps. So I decided to change the name, and low and BEHOLD IT WORKS. The funny was that I wasnt having that problem any of the other tables just that one. Well live and learn. Just thought I'd share that with you guys

I am trying to view a "View" that is in one of my databases, and I am having a problem seeing the scripting that is inside of it. In sql2000 all I needed to do to view a "View" is double click on it. If I double click on a "View" in sql2005 it will open more folders showing the layout, but I want to see the scripting. If I right click on it and then click open view, sql2005 returns the values that the view would bring across. Does anybody know how to view the scripting of a "View" for sql2005?
Also if I select Modify, sql2005 returns scripting but it does not look right.
Thanks for the help!
I would like to know the best way to view Package Logs that are being stored in SQL Server? Right now I select out of sysdtslog90 to see what the log file has. I would like to know if there is a way like SQL 2000 where there is a drop down for the date and you could view the entire package data.

Can anybody tell me is it possible to view user passwords in SQL Server v6.5 as the syslogins table shows the passwords as encrypted.
Thanks,

It was possible to read the transaction log on SQL 6.5 with DBCC LOG and find out what was going on. Is there any way to do this in SQL 7.0/2000 or do you now have to rely on SQL Profiler? I have noticed that SQLProbe has a log viewer in it and would like to know how they did it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedEDIT: Oops in the title. I meant "EM" not "IE".
I'm on a Dev database (full copy). In EM (that is running on the Dev server) I run a view that I used to build the list of rows to be updated.
SQL 2000 Std SP3 on Win 2000 Server.
When I cut-n-Pasted the clause to my "Update" statement in Query Analyser and try to run it, to my surprised, it got hung up.
I looked in EM to see Locks, and to my surprise my EM View Display is blocking the Update! So; I press "Cancel" on my EM View display and, whammo, the update goes.
I tested and it's consistant and does not matter what column I'm updating.
Is this normal behaviour for EM?
EDIT: I tried the exact same scenerio, in the exact same EM and QA screens, but this time remoting over to the Production box (since it's midnight). The blocking did not occur. Weird!
