How To Programmatically Backup A DB?
Apr 4, 2006I need to programmatically backup a database in SQL Server Express. I actually also need to programmatically restore it from a backup file. How can I do this programmatically? I know how to do simple ADO commands for simple db operations, but backup and restore sound like "meta" commands to me, and I don't know where to begin from.

May 5, 2007Hello!
I would like to backup a database through t-sql into a file.
I do this :
EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk', 'mydb','c:mydb.bak'
it tells "Command(s) completed successfully."
but I can not find the file c:mydb.bak ...
but if I do it again I get :
"Msg 15026, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addumpdevice, Line 74
Logical device 'mealmanager' already exists."
:-(
Any idea? I simply want to get a .bak file of the db, that's all.
Thanks a lot for any feedback!

Is It Possible To Make A Backup From MSDE ?? (Y/N)
Jul 19, 2004Hi all;
Is it possible to make a backup from MSDE ?? (Y/N)
The problem: I am going to develop an application for a small company and it don't like to spend more $$ rather than some $$ for the App.
So, I don't know if it is possible to do a backup from MSDE or not?
BTW: How much MS SQL Sever200 will cost per a PC? (any idea even approx.)??
Thanks in advanced!

BACKUP LOG Cannot Be Performed Because There Is No Current Database Backup. BACKUP LOG Is Terminating Abnormally.
Jan 31, 2008
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

Can I Set Expressions Programmatically?
Apr 16, 2007I'm building SSIS packages through code and I would like to set the properties of some custom tasks (not data flow tasks) to expressions. I've done some searches but turned up nothing. This is the only thing I'm hitting a brick wall on at the moment; Books Online has been excellent in detailing how to create packages via code up to this point.
For the sake of argument, let's say I want to set the SqlStatementSource property of an Execute SQL task to this value:
"INSERT INTO [SomeTable] VALUES (NEWID(), '" + @[User:omeStringVariable] + "')"
What would the code look like?
Programmatically Saving As PDF?
Jun 9, 2007Ok. So I have this ASP.NET page and I've programmatically taken a report from the report server and rendered it in PDF. Now I would like to take this a step further and save the report as a pdf document on the local machine.
So at this point I have a byte array representing the document, now how would I save this as a pdf on the local machine? I'm unaware of an ASP Response method to allow this and I'm unaware of a SSRS ReportingService method, but as I said I'm unaware...
Any ideas, thoughts, resources are all welcome.
Creating A New Database Programmatically
Aug 30, 2006I've seen several post asking for that possibility, but all 've read, didn't help me.Some sing SQLDMO, other suggest to use SQLSMO, others only explaining to connect to a server and then do "CREATE DATABASE".I will do this within .Net. Connecting to a SQL Server 2005 and execute "CREATE DATABASE" I could realize.But how doing this with SQLExpress? Trying to do SqlConnection.Open with a non existing DB does not work., says "file not exists".Or do I only have the wrong connection string? Can someone post here an excample connection string, which works with a non existing database?Some hints I've read make me considering to use SQLSMO. But I don't have it on my computer. Where do I get it from? Any links would be nice.

How To Setup SelectParameters Programmatically?
Feb 16, 2007Hi,
I am using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition.
I am trying to SELECT three information fields from a table when the Page_Load take place (so I select the info on the fly). The refering page, sends the spesific record id as "Articleid", that looks typically like this: "http://localhost:1424/BelaBela/accom_Contents.aspx?Articleid=2". I need to extract the "Article=2" so that I can access record 2 (in this example).
How do I define the SelectParameters or QueryStingField on the fly so that I can define the WHERE part of my query (see code below). If I remove the WHERE portion, then it works, but it seem to return the very last record in the database, and if I include it, then I get an error "Must declare the scalar variable @resortid". How do I programatically set it up so that @resortid contains the value that is associated with "Articleid"?
My code is below.
Thank you for your advise!

SQLDS_Login.SelectParameters.Add(PUser)
SQLDS_Login.SelectCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text
GridView1.DataSource = SQLDS_Login

When i run, i get this error message:
The SqlDataSource control 'SQLDS_Login' does not have a naming container. Ensure that the control is added to the page before calling DataBind.

Programmatically Specify SqlDataSource Parameters
Apr 27, 2006I have a GridView bound to a SqlDataSource. On page load I would like to programmatically specify a SelectParameter value based on the role of the user. This SelectParameter will be used in my WHERE clause. The closest post I can find is http://forums.asp.net/thread/1233258.aspx but no answer was posted.
What code would I use to modify a SelectParameters value? Is it possible to reference a parameter by name (SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters["usertype"]) or does it have to be by index? (SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters[0])
Alternatively, perhaps I'm going about this in the wrong way, is there a better way to have dynamic GridView content based on the role of the user?
Thank you very much for your help.
How To Determine When To Re-Index Programmatically?
May 13, 2002Great Monday Morning to one and all,
Setup: SQL7 w/SP4 running on W2K Pro
Table in Question:
I have a system that processes inserts that originate from automatic data collection subsystems on manufacuturing cells. The system processes about 2500 records a day. The system is isolated with no ready support or attention. My goal is to automate any and every reasonable admin task. My present activity centers on re-indexing the main table (receives the data from the inserts, supplies the data for web based reporting).
The table - tb_production_log - receives inserts that are time stamped and bear a Machine_id. The table has a clustered index built on the Machine_id (int) and Date_time (time of data's acquisition). The table only receives Inserts, the records are never Updated. No inserts are out of time sequence (no older records ever have to be 'wedged' in amongst existing records). Ulitmately, the table is tested daily for records with age > 365 days. Such records are Deleted.
For the past week, I have been running a monitoring stored procedure on my test box to track the fragmentation of the tb_production_log table. It's based on DBCC SHOWCONTIG with some extra tests. After capturing the SHOWCONTIG data, the sp runs a test query against the table to emulate a typical User report. I track the time this query takes. The query covers records over the last 7 days. (approx. 17,500 records involved). In addition, I track the time it takes Inserts to run. Inserts are done in batches from an external app. I get a RecordsPerSecond data point for each batch.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow To Programmatically Clone A Database?
Jan 21, 2005Howdy,
Is the any easy way to clone a database programatically?
I've searched the web but did not come up with anything.
At the moment I create a new blank database (based on the model database)
and create tables, indexes, etc. via asp. (The databases are always exactly
the same)
It seems to me that it would be a better option to
create one database with tables, indexes, etc and copy
it to a new database (on the same server).
One of the options I'm considering would be to create a database,
fill it with tables and indexes, etc. and then detach it.
Whenever I need a new database all I would have to do is use the
file system object to copy and rename the mdf file and then reattach the
new mdf file.
I realise that I could also make the changes to the model
database so that all new databases have the same structure
but that would be my last resort.
Is there any easier way to do this? A stored procedure perhaps?
You're opinions and advice would be welcomed.

Programmatically Determine IIS Log Directory
Jun 1, 2007I wrote a custom IIS log reader windows service that reads and parses log data and periodically uploads it to a SQL server table which I run my reports from later. Currently I read the file by giving the absolute physical path name for the log directory followed by the log file name I anticipate depending on date/time stamps.
My question is: Is there a programmatic way to get the directory path which is configured in IIS to store the IIS log files to? We use non default location e.g. D:DATALOGSIISW3SVC1 or something similar, which might change from server to server. Also, I am not worried about the individual log file names but the directory. I would prefer a C# code example.
Any help is appreciated!
