Hey Guys,
I do alot of development on my personal machine and have quite few databases in SQL Server. My PC is very prone to crashing :-p so Im writing a custom batch script to backup up all my data. How can I backup my SQL Server databses into a text file. I dont want to use the BAK file. In MYSQL this is a relatively simple process where i just have to use the mysqldump utility which scripts 'all' my databases (structure and data). Can I do the same thing in SQL Server? Please tell me a way. Its going to save me a lot of trouble.
Thanks in advance guys.
I have started to install a 3rd party web-based product for our clients that uses SQL 2000 as its backend
However every time that they create a new 'topic' within the web app, it creates a new database, with a single table in it!! - There could/will be 1000's of these 'topics' created
I have told the company we buy this from that this is not acceptable - they have asked why!!
Can anyone point me in the direction of preferably a Microsoft document that I can send to them, as just saying 'you just don't do it that way' isn't working and I can't find anything easily myself
I have just spent 2 days trying to rebuild my system databases after a crash. Each time I issued the start /wait setup.exe etc. command, the task would fail with the error:
MSI (s) (80:10) [12:07:34:815]: Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -- Error 1706. An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server 2005 cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'SqlRun_SQL.msi'.
The initial install of SQL was run from a network share. The rebuild was from CD.
It seems that the original installation source paths are retained in the registry and are not ignored when attempting a rebuild.
Searching the registry for 'SqlRun_SQL.msi' throws up
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTInstallerProducts812B67BE5CF8FD14F9F1F73F0E443838 and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClassesInstallerProducts812B67BE5CF8FD14F9F1F73F0E443838
Resolution: Under the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key, change the Sourcelist from network (n) to media (m) and <drive>:ServersSetup instead of the share
Also change MediaPackage under the Media key to ServersSetup
This will automatically amend the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key
This allowed a successful rebuild of the system databases
Hello all, I am working on an ASP.NET that different companies will be loggin on to. The way the SQL db has been written is that each company will have it's own database. However, I am not sure if this is the right approach since modifying the database would be quite a hassle (i'd have to modify each one). Is there a way a single databse would have several instances that share the same structure but with different data ? What is the recommended approach in these situations ? Should I re-design the database so that ALL companies store their data in one huge database ?
I have moved few databases in 2000 to a different server which run's on sql server 2005 and its not a instance ogf 2000. I backed up databases in 2000 moved those files to other server and then restored them. I had solved the problem of orphand users by deleting and adding again.
Now when i try to setup maintenance plan i have the following error after walking through the wizard
TITLE: Maintenance Plan Wizard Progress ------------------------------ Adding tasks to the maintenance plan failed. ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.MaintenancePlanWizard) ------------------------------ BUTTONS: OK ------------------------------
what do i need to fix this????Any help is appreciated...
And what else do i need to make sure everything in 2005 are working fine apart from orphand user.
My site is hosted with 1and1. They tell me I need to dump my SQL database before uploading it to their site. I have never done this before. I have looked in the online help and have asked them for help, but nothing seems to work. I've tried queries like the following:DUMP DATABASE dbname TO DISK = 'C:folderfilename'It tells me it doesn't recognize "dbname", which is the name of the MDF file (without the ".mdf" extension). So I'm not sure what I should be using for database name.I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Professional. Can someone help me with dumping my database? Thanks!
Hi, is there a software that can dump the SQL result into a file or to another database? I am using the MSSQL Server and I am accessing it remotely. Is there a program where I can issue an SQL statement and then I can dump the result into a file (in SQL inserts or just plain CSV).
Hi - is it possible to dump the query text of every query runagainst a particular database, or all databases, in an SQL Server2000 installation? We've an issue whereby a 3rd. party applicationrunning queries over ODBC sometimes claims that gobbledegook isreturned, and it would be very useful to identify the query that'sbeing claimed is the problem. I suspect that it's an applicationissue rather than a SQL Server one.__________________________________________________ ___________Are you Catholic ?http://www.CatholicEmail.com100s of FREE email addresses --->http://www.UltimateEmail.comSend an Online Greeting Card http://www.UltimateEcards.com
Using SQL version 6.5, I'm trying to dump our primary database to a backup server with the following command:
DUMP DATABASE TMSEPRD TO Backup_Server WITH STATS = 10, NOINIT, NOSKIP
I created a backup device called Backup_Sever with the location of stlcopadmbkackup. When I try the command I get the error
Can't open dump device 'stlcopadmbkackup', device error or device off line. Please consult the SQL Server error log for more details. (Message 3201)
and in the eventlog it indicates 'access denied' as the cause for the failure.
I've looked in the Books Online and searched the technet database to find an answer. The Books Online does say that in creating the backup device permissions are not checked. I've checked and double checked the permissions on STLCOPADMBK and there shouldn't be any reason why access is being denied.
I've installed the latest service releases for version 6.5 so that shouldn't be an issue.
I am having problems when trying to dump to a network share (NT Network) from SQL Server 6.5 and would appreciate any insight this group can lend.
To setup this dump, I followed the instructions provided in the SQL Server FAQ (www.swynk.com) and have been able to successfully complete this task on a different server (so I know I'm editing the registry correctly etc..etc..etc..)
none the less,
Here is an exerpt from NT's Event Viewer:
SQL Server Scheduled Task: 16, 'Network Dump - EIWDATA' -- Status: Failed -- Task Invoked on: 7/23/99 1:45:18 PM -- Message: Can't open dump device 'crosrvdumpeiwdata.dmp', device error or device off line. Please consult the SQL Server error log for more details. (Message 3201)
I was wondering if there is a way to schedule a tast that will dump afixed width text file of all the new entries in a table. So if I hada table with likeusername - varchar(20)created - smalldatetimeI could get a weekly feed each week of all the new users in a textfile. I know I could write a script that would go through and do thisby looking at the time stamp, and the last time that the filepreviously ran and get the new dates but I was hoping there was abuilt way to do this. Or perhaps a more elegant solution.Thanks,Charlie

The transaction log does not truncate despite all attempts (no_log,truncate_only, etc...) This database is a subscriber for replication. Tried the reconfigure with override. There are no open transactions (dbcc opentran)
While dumping several tables into the same Backup device, I got this error message in the Log :
dbsvolopen: Backup device 'E:BACKPANBackUp_Of_Focus_Tables.DAT' failed to open, operating system error = 32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)
There is no other process using this device running at the same time.
I have some "phantom" tasks running, specifically, DB dumps to a NULL Pipe device and they are not scheduled!!! These do not show up in the SYSTASKS table, where can I look to possibly find these un-scheduled dumps? Thank you....
While working with a vast variety of support projects, i find a sql design where all the fields in a single form (say about 100 fields which are dump data as they are not related to any reports and searching criteria) are dumped in a sql database column in a XML format. See below an example
I wanted to insert millions of rows from Cat to Master table and can be achieved from the following query
Code SnippetIINSERT INTO Master (UniqueId, Cat ) SELECT ID, Update from Cat
Question : Is there any better way do achieve the same operation with better performance mean to say that the execution should be less than the time it takes to execute the above statement
Please note that the number columns are different in each table. I wanted to dump the data of Source table to Destination table. I meant to say that the rows of 2 columns in Source table to last 2 rows of Destination table. And also my oreder of the columns in Destination table will vary. So i need to a way to dynamically insert the data in bulk. but i will know the column names for sure before inserting.
Is there anyway to bulk insert into these columns.
