Hi
I have a SQL db with a hosting company that appears to have gone bust, so am moving my site from them to a new provider. I am able to access the database on the SQL server but I need to transfer all the data and objects to my desktop PC. I have tried scripting all data/objects and DTS but these just generate errors and fail (I suspect due to permissions).
I did this once before and got a .bak file from the providers, which I was successfully able to restore elsewhere, so this is what I need to do again. However, now I'm getting no response to support requests so need to do this myself. The question, then is....
Is there a way to backup a SQL db to a .bak file on the server and then somehow transfer it to my own machine? Or is it possible to somehow run the backup to a different machine and get it off their server?
Any help would be appreciated, as I'm worried about how long I'll continue to have access to the server before they all disappear without a trace!
Hi,
I am trying to modify my database maintenance plan so I can perform backups to another machine (using a UNC path).
I have only just found out from the documentation that I "cannot" do this: I am sure there must be a way around it but haven't had any luck on the web. Can anyone help?
Thank u

I have an online SQL Server database provided by an ISP. I do not havepermission to create a backup device and I understand this is normalpractice.I am not using Enterprise Manager to administer the online database.I know I can back up the structure of the database using SQLscripts.My question is:How do I back up on my own machine the data contained in the onlinedatabase tables I have created? If I were using Enterprise Manager Icould do it by downloading tables using the DTS facility but how can Ido it without Enterprise Manager?Is there some work around which I have missed eg creating a csv fileof the data?Best wishes for 2005 to all those helpful people in this newsgroup!John Morgan

I am using Script Transformation to output a new column as image[DT_IMAGE]
field to store serialized object. In the VB script, the sample code as
Row.serializedobject.AddBlobData ( binaryArrayReturnedFromC#dll )
The package always runs fine on my developing machine and will halt on other
machine at AddBlobData after certain number row records were processed. I am
stuck here. Anyone has any suggestion?
What I need is reading data from mutiple tables in one database and writing
into a single table in another datable. In order preserve all the columns
data, I use input column fields to construct a new object and then serialize
it, and store the serialize data into detination db table. (The object and
serialization function is coming from c# dll.)
Dim b As BusinessLicense = New BusinessLicense()
b.ApprovalDate = Row.approvaldate
b.BusinessId = Row.busid
b.BusinessName = Row.busname
b.NaicsCode = Row.naicscode
b.NaicsDescription = Row.naicsdescr
b.OwnerName = Row.ownername
b.Phone = Row.phone
b.Pkey = Row.pkey
b.RenewalDate = Row.renewaldate
b.StartDate = Row.startdate
b.Suite = Row.suite
Row.serializedobject.AddBlobData(Serializer.Serialize(b)) '''----This is blocking line
Row.infoType = BusinessLicense.TYPE

Hi to everyone,
I'm facing a problem that drives me crazy. I've a web application that has the following problem. When I test the application on my developement machine all runs fine, but when I put into production server there is a problem in connection pooling. Look at the following image, the blue line is the number of connection in the pool and the violet line is the number of connection reclaimed. From the image it is clear that connection are returned on the pool only in block, maybe when the garbage collection pass and reclaim the object. The strange thing is that on my developement machine all is good, and also I'm using Enterprise Library and the connection are managed internally.- Thanks to everyone for any help.
Hullo all
I have two machines,
One is a standalone machine and the other is on a domain network. How can I run a stored procedure/job on the standalone machine from the domain machine ?
running the procedure as a Domain user results in a failed job/stored proc.
also creating an sql login and attempting to run it as that user also fails. How can I solve this problem ?
please e-mail me at wayde@sunnygrp.com if you have any thoughts...

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there was any white papers on the migration part from microsoft?
Apparently the situation is like this
Currently installed MOSS 2007 in a testing pc as application server. This application server will refer another testing database server which running SQL Server 2005.
Now, wanted to move this 2 temporary server into another 2 new servers.
Correct me if I'm wrong, it cannot be done by using image like Norton Ghost due to difference hardware spec.
So, if I install another fresh copy of MOSS2007 & SQL server 2005 in that 2 new servers, how can I migrate the contents, documents, etc from the testing database server?
It would be great if someone can show me the links to kb article. Thanks

Hey, please forgive me if my infomation source was incorrect. But a friend of mine mentioned to me he had hurd of a program, or code that will make an "install script" of your database. Basically it`ll back up all the tables on your server and if the worst case senario happens then you can run the file like an install script. Is this true? It sounds invalueable! If it isnt true, can someone tell me if it is possible to use code to create a "install script" of your own database? I am using "Microsoft SQL Server".Thanks in advance John

I have August22 full backup and August22 and August23 transactions log backups . I want to get the August23 and August23 full backup.

Does anyone know how we can backup DTS packages?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen backing up a database in MS SQL 7.0, there is a window that appears in the destination section of the backup window. In this window is where the filename appears that the backup will proceed to and to the right of this window are "add", "remove" and "contents" buttons.
If there are multiple names in this window, will the entire backup go to both files or does it split the backup between the two filenames.
TO backup a DTS package, does backing up MSDB take care of this or do the files need to be individually backed up?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use SQL Server 2000 and I create scripts on a daily basis to do the following
1. Rename a table
2. Create table with original name and add new field
3. Copy data from renamed table to new table
4. Build indexes
-----------------------------------------
execute sp_rename ORIGINAL, OLD
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ORIGINAL] (
[A] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[B] [varchar] (50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[C] [int] NOT NULL ,
[Notes] [text] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL

INSERT INTO ORIGINAL (A, B, NOTES)
SELECT A, B, NOTES
FROM OLD
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [ORIGINAL_A_B] ON [dbo].[ORIGINAL]([A], [B] DESC ) WITH FILLFACTOR = 90 ON [PRIMARY]
GO
-----------------------------------------
ON A TABLE WITH 100,000 RECORDS THIS KIND OF SCRIPT TAKES A LONG TIME TO DO THE INSERT/SELECT PART
I WOULD USE ALTER/ADD TO UPDATE THE TABLES, BUT MY SUPERIOR INSISTS THAT NOT HAVING TEXT FIELDS AS THE LAST FIELD IN THE TABLE WILL CAUSE QUERKY PROBLEMS WITH HIS SQL STATEMENTS
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE THAT THIS COULD BE TRUE?
IF SO,
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR DOING THIS SAME PROCESS TO ADD A NEW FIELD (C) BEFORE THE FINAL FIELD (NOTES - TEXT FIELD), AND BACKUP THE TABLE BUT WITHOUT IT TAKING SUCH A LONG TIME ON THE INSERT/SELECT PART?
Forgive me if I'm asking a lot, but I'm lost and these scripts take way too long for what seems like such a simple task.
Thanks,

Here is the situation, I have a web application (asp.net/vb.net) with ms sql 2000 as the database. I have two database server. I would like to backup database 1 with database 2.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I've recently created a maintenance plan, which backs up my database and transaction log. However I also have a Veritas (Backup Exec for Windows Servers) tape backup which runs at night and backs up my files. It is setup to backup the whole of my MSSQL DATA and BACKUP folders.
Today I went to do a test restore, and found that the tape backup contained nothing in the MSSQL DATA folder, but everything that was in the BACKUP folder. Is this because everything in the DATA folder is in an open state? On checking back, the tape backup has never held anything in the DATA folder. Should I be worried by this, or is it what you would expect, and is the SQL backup sufficient?
Thanks for any advice

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, not sure I have should ask this in here or in the VS forums - but here goes anyway!
My vb app is written using VS2005 with an SQL database. I'm now distributing this to users to use with SQL Express.
It's hard enough explaining to them how to attach the database without going into the backup routines etc!
So what I'd like to do is to have a "backup" button in my app, that backsup the database, trancates the log files & then shrinks the files.
Is this possible?
