Hi,
I'm no where close to a SQL Server expert but we're using it as a back end
to another application.
I lost a PC that had MS SQL Server 2000. I was able to recover the .MDF and
..LDF files but nothing else. How can I restore these files to another SQL
Server installation on another PC. When I tried to attach them they are not
recognized as valid files (I get the red X instead of the green CHECK).
Is this a basic security function that I'm not going to get around or should
it be possible? Do the .mdf and .ldf files contain specific info about what
PC they were created on?
Are there third party apps that might be able to at least extract the
tables?
Pages on a full recovery model database corrupted, need to ensure data loss is minimal for restore operation am thinking about restoring the latest full backup.
We have an issue with a 3 node SQL 2012 Always on availability group. Normal operation is node 1 (primary replica) with node 2 and node 3 as secondary replicas.After some patching, SQL wasn't running on node 1 hence the AG flipped over to node 2. This went unnoticed for some time and the transaction log for one of the AG databases became full on node 2 and node 3. (I think this is because it couldn't commit the transactions on node 1 so couldn't truncate it's t-log?) The DB is using synchronous replication btw.So I started SQL on node 1 and flipped the AG back to node 1 (with a data loss warning but I accepted this).Now the issue is that on node 2 and 3, the DB in question is stuck in a "Reverting / In Recovery" State. I've tried various commands such as ALTER DATABASE SET ONLINE, RESTORE DATABASE WITH RECOVERY etc but these fail stating unable to obtain a lock on the DB.
The weird thing is that on node 1 the state of the DB is "synchronised".how to resolve this issue on node 2 and 3? I've left them overnight (in case they were rolling back transactions, the DB is fairly large) but nothing seems to have happened. remove the DB from the AG in node 2 and 3 and add it back in again, ie recreate the replication?
Last week I backed up my SQL Server by using BE 2012. I named the file "SQL Server BAK" which contained copies of my SQL Server databases. A few days ago I lost some part of my data due to accidental deletion. I backed it up, so I tried to restore the database from the .bkf file. The problem comes here, when I try to to restore my .bkf file, it becomes inaccessible.what causes this?
Running SQL version 7 on "Terminal" Server I have a database marked in Load Receovery and we are unable to get to it. We tried MS SQL document on how to but we are still unable to recover it!
hai! i have a database which crashed recently(26th sep 2007).my last backup is on 14 sep 2007.i have restored database after two days.Now i have a database (old) with data upto 14sep 2007 and from 26sep to till date.(data from 14sep to 26sep missing).I restored database on 28th with a new database name which has data upto 26th sep 2007.how to attach these two databases to a single database to have data from beginning to tilldate.
Hi, I made an UPDATE query without specifying any criteria so I had more than 1500 records have been changed and I cannot undo the UPDATE. Is there any way I can recover the data UPDATE from the Transactions Log. I did not back up the database lately so what is the appropriate solutions for this?
Is there a way to Revover a Sql Server 2000 database in the absence of the backup file(the backup file got overwritten). Does Sql Server do any automatic Transaction logging?

Is there a way to check the status of a database in recovery. Like how far along it may be. If not is there a way to stop a database in recovery and just drop it.
Our server ran out of disk space during a stored procedure process. We were able to free up some space, stopped all SQL services, restarted all SQL services and now SQL Management Studio shows the database to be in recovery. Is there a way to monitor this to ensure progress is being made and to estimate when it might complete?
What does it actually mean when the database is in recovery? My database has been in recovery overnight. What is normally going on in this situation. Should I wait or take more drastic action?
I had to change the path of .mdf and .ldf files, so I decided to:
1) Take offline the database
2) run the quey ALTER DATABASE... MODIFY to change the path
3) Bring online the database.
The last step hung up (with no errors) and left the database In Recovery.
When I tried to stop and restart sql server other databases changed their status In Recovery...
Here is a dump of Errorlog files

Could it be dangerous trying to kill this process ? If not, what is the best way do to it ? From Sql Server Activity Monitor (spid 24) or from Task Manager ?
We have a requirement to build SQL environment which will give us local high availability and disaster recovery to second site. We have two sites- Site A & Site B. We are planning to have two nodes at Site A and 2 nodes at Site B. All four nodes will be part of same Windows failover cluster. We will build two SQL Cluster, InstanceA will be clustered between the nodes at Site A Server and InstanceB will be clustered between the nodes at Site B, we will enable Always On Between the InstanceA and InstanceB and will be primary owner where data will be written on InstanceA and will be replicated to InstaceB. URL....Now we want we will have instanceC on the Site B and data will be writen from the application available on Site B, will be replicated to the instance on the Site A as replica.
I am trying to implement a plan for a SQL7 database that is used by the company I work for. Having read the SQL manuals I have come to the following conclusion:
I want to do a complete backup of the database at midnight and do a transaction log backup every 30 minutes between 7am and 7pm. I am hoping this will allow me to 'undo' any user mistakes and roll back the database changes to the last transaction log backup.
The questions I have are:
1) By backing up the transaction log every 30 minutes, will this then give me the ability to 'roll back' the database to the last time the transaction log was backed up (i.e. 30 minutes max) ?
2) How do I load the transaction log back in ? (i.e roll the database changes back). A simple Restore operation (with truncate ???)
Hi I'm a newbie with a problem. SQL Server 6.5 SP4. Have had problems today with SQL Server running out of LOCKS. We increased these & all seemed fine. LOCKS ranout again & we brought SQL Server back up our major database started a recovery. I know the spid of the recovery from the SQL Server errorlog but when I select the sysprocesses table I don't find an entry for this spid. The recovery has been running for about 2 hours. My question is should I see the spid of the recovery process in the sysprocesses table & is 2 hours long for a recovery of a 5 GB database?
Just curious, Has anyone had to do a full recovery and have it take 20+ hours?? If anyone can give me their average times for full recovery and database size, I would appreciate it. I'm researching this topic. Thanks.
I've recently restored one of my development databases from it's production backup. The restore completed successfully, users were able to connect to the database without any problems. However, when I checked the error log I found the following message:
Bypassing recovery for database 'Test' because it is marked IN LOAD.
I could not find anything on the web or in BOL. Any ideas?
MS SQL-Server 7.0Bypassing recovery for database 'EfW_765' because it is marked IN LOAD.What does this mean?Our customer is backing up is maindatabase and is recovering it to thisdatabase for testing.Our custumer tries it serveral times and then the recovery works and thedata are corrupt.I have written a little programm which does some selects to this database.The program is stopped during recovery but our customer beleves that thishas something to do with our program.http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;272683This article doesnt halp me much. So hwat is the meaning of IN LOAD and whatdoes the server do if it bypasses the recovery.THXJens
in the process of migrating a big db from server 1 to server 2, we had to roll back the change. I started with taking a full db backup and restoring it on server 2 with norecovery, and then a couple logs with norecovery, and then the last log with recovery.
Is there some way to continue this chain now, I mean to change the db to norecovery, or other way to restore logs.Â
I dont want to do a new full backup.
If I try to do a log restore now i get the message:
Msg 3117, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
The log or differential backup cannot be restored because no files are ready to rollforward.
We have 3 replica AG setup. 2 replicas are in sync/automatic failover, the other(DR Server, different subnet) in asynchronous/manual mode…All these replicas were on sql server 2012, Recently we upgraded DR server to 2014. Since then we have a problem, the AG databases in 2014 instance went into ‘Synchronizing/ in recovery’ state…The SQL server error log has message, the recovery couldn’t start for the database ‘XYZ’…We tried to create a new database and add it to AG , it works for fine for other two 2012 replicas, but on 2014 we see the same issue
Yesterday a user has run a storedprocedure which updates a very transaction table having million of records , as usual the user killed the process in the middle of the execution.(which has resulted in rollback action).
this rollback process blocked other scheduled jobs and its was running for more than 8 hours without completing
as usual decided to shutdown and restart the sqlserver while restarting the sql server went into automatic recovery
the following are the log recording
2001-04-17 12:00:01.86 spid9 Recovery progress on database 'ISH' (7): 48 percent. 2001-04-17 12:00:37.89 spid6 Using 'xpstar.dll' version '1998.11.13' to execute extended stored procedure 'sp_MSgetversion'. 2001-04-17 12:02:36.60 spid9 Recovery progress on database 'ISH' (7): 49 percent. 2001-04-17 12:08:12.79 spid9 Recovery progress on database 'ISH' (7): 49 percent. 2001-04-17 12:11:49.90 spid9 Recovery progress on database 'ISH' (7): 50 percent. 2001-04-17 12:11:50.32 spid9 Recovery progress on database 'ISH' (7): 92 percent.
if you see the log reading from 50% jumps to 92 % and the automatic recovery process is running from another 5 hours (now not able to open the database)
in order to avoid the sql server going into automatic recovery mode (usually the dba use to update the master.sysdatabase table the status column with some magic number to set the database into emergency mode) but i followed my own style (deleting the reocord for the user database from sysdatabases) and restarted the sql server , and used my monday tape backup (complete bkup) to recover the database. In the recovery option i used force restore over existing database (hoping that this will reduce the database recovery time ,bcaus the data file (mdf and ldf ) need not to be created.
but the result :- after running six hours of loading data from tape ( i am getting the following reading in the log file)
realy do not what is happening in the background.(if its oracle the dba has the control over the database . In sql server has the control over the dba)
any one who has any idea on sql server recovery (the size of the database is 22 gb which is recovered and tape device is hp sure store DAT 40 E (DSS-4,4MM TAPE). Thanks in advance
I just restored a SQL 7 db using the Enterprise Manager GUI interface. I selected the "Leave database nonoperational, but able to restore additional transaction logs" option. I should not have selected this option as I do not have any transaction logs to apply.
Anyway, my question is... Is there a way to mark the database as opertational without running the restore again?
hello, (this was originally posted in Administration Forum)
I am helping out with a disaster recovery of a database and i was given 4 files. 2 MDF and 2 LDF files. When I try to attach the files to SQL Server I recieve this err msg:
Server: Msg 823, Level 24, State 6, Line 1 I/O error (torn page) detected during read at offset 0000000000000000 in file 'E:chivirtualGPS0Dat.mdf'. Connection Broken
I then tried many other combinations hoping something would work --> tried individual files, just data files, tried to create a new DB and then switching/replacing out with the files i needed...etc, nothing seems to work for me. The people I am trying to help out do NOT have backups.
Can not attach database, Error message; The file you've specified is not a valid SQL Server database file.
My costumer HDD some files Deleted mybe elektric prblem -Elektric go,com,go,come- then windows not opened. insert corrupt hdd Another computer, then recovering (recover my files software) Recover mdf and ldf files. but I can not not attach mdf. file,
I am recovery .mdf file http://www.officerecovery.com/mssql/ some table ok. but my importand table is not ok.
if I can recover another recovery software , my database correct recover or same.? I am using RecoverMyFiles.
