Favorite Sql Server Db Compare/diff Tools
Dec 15, 2003
guys...do you have any recommendations for a tool that compares specific MS sql databases including data comparisons?
I typically develop locally, then deploy remotely.
it's getting to be quite a pain to not only remember which schema objects to update on the remote host, but the data elements that need to be keyed in as well.
are there any shareware tools out there you'd recommend? (I don't have a great budget as this is coming out of MY pocket and not my companies.)
THanks!

I'm fairly new to the DBA thing.
I've been doing quite a bit of research on monitoring MSSQL performance.
What tools are you guys using?
PerfMon, Dbartisan, Spotlight, or what?
I'd like to find some free or affordable way to watch our Servers to check health/performance/etc.

Following an upgrade to SQL Server 2012, our shop's Schema Compare tool (Redgate SQL Compare) is no longer supporting our environment.We are starting to evaluate various 3rd party products to find a possible replacement, and would be interested in what products are favored by other IT shops who do a lot of database work.
Our shop is split about 75% SQL Server, 20% Oracle, and 5% I'll call other. Ideally a product would support SQL Server and Oracle, but our focus is on SQL server right now. On that platform we have ~50 servers spread across DevUATProd environments.In basic terms, we need a tool that can identify schema differences between DBs and generate synchronization scripts to support deploys between environments. Real-time synchronization is not a requirement (nor desirable), as deploys are a gated DBA function in our shop.

Login failed for user 'TOSHIBA-USERASPNET'
I know that the file persmission for the web application have to include aspnet, so i keep resetting the folder permission for aspnet in file manager, but the login failed keeps coming back every day or two
problem is after working with VS05 Pro, SQL Server Management Studio CTP, somehow the aspnet persmission get changed, use alot of sqldatasource wizards and often there is a conflict/hang between the datasource wizard and the need to have the mdf in a dettached state within VS server explorer,
not sure but the procedure to fix this seems to be to reboot, detach and re-attach the mdf in the Sql server Studio tool, re-apply the aspnet file permission on the web app folders (wonder should i be doing this in IIS instead), make sure the mdf within server explorer is detached, the it works
anyway, getting real tired of the resulting delays and design time derailment, clues greatly appreciated, thanks
sometimes i can use View in Browser when in VS05 form view and i wont get the aspnet folder permission error and other times i do.
last thing, is it a bad idea to give aspnet full permission for the entire web applicaiton??

My main sql server lost the system board due to overheating. I need to get the (external enclosure scsi attached)array up and running as it has production data as well as SQL backups stored there. My most recent/valid backups are located with the production data. It is possible to connect this array to different server? This is a HP DL380 and all of my other servers are Dell 2900's.
any help is appreciated!

SQL Server 2012-SP2 and Windows 2008R2
I need to copy the last differential backup file from the production server directory to a data warehouse server directory. There are 3 differential backup files on the directory and I need to grab the latest one. I have the following syntax which work from a batch file but it does not work when I put it into a job step as a cmd even though I remove the double %% to only one %.
echo @off
set path1="192.29.305.213$SqlserverProductionBa ckupsKBR_PROD"
set path2=K:SqlserverDatawarehouseBackupPROD
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /a-d /o-d "%path1%DIFF*.bak"') do copy "%path1%\%%~a" "%path2%" & goto nextstep
:nextstep
Echo File Copied.
Even when I change it to (only one % for the variable),
for /f "tokens=*" %a in ('dir /b /a-d /o-d "%path1%DIFF*.bak"') do copy "%path1%\%~a" "%path2%"
It does not work..........It runs successfully but no file is copied or I get
Message
Executed as user: PROD23Sqladm024. The process could not be created for step 1 of job 0xEAAF943771FF304A9E7AD8ADAC24F96C (reason: The system cannot find the file specified). The step failed.

I am running SQL Server 2005 x64 Enterprise under Windows 2003 x64 Enterprise. My current backup strategy uses T-SQL jobs run by SQL Agent (writes out *.bak files) and then I have an Integration Services job that copies the *.bak files to our NAS device. I have performed a restore without issue. The jobs are all automated every four hours via SQL Agent. Is this a sound strategy or are there additional benefits to using 3rd party tools? If so, what are the advantages and which tool provides them?

Remus,
thank you for your reply on (microsoft.public.sqlserver.notificationsvcs).
one more question :
Server_2 == Server_3
so I set up a route for db2:
CREATE ROUTE [rem_s2_route] AUTHORIZATION [dbo] WITH SERVICE_NAME = N'rem_s2' , ADDRESS = N'TCP://192.168.0.2:4022'
to create route for db3 (sql express) I tried
CREATE ROUTE [rem_s3_route] AUTHORIZATION [dbo] WITH SERVICE_NAME = N'rem_s3' , ADDRESS = N'TCP://192.168.0.2sqlexpress:4022'
this failed, what am I doing wrong or did I lost the plot? How do I diff beteen more than one instance of sql server on the same server? And can the port be the same on each instance of SQL Server?
thank you in advance

Is there - apart from the notorious RESTORE HEADERONLY - an tool which is able to tell which SQL Server version created a specific BAK file? I'm looking for a tool that can be used w/o an available/running SQL Server installation.
Alternatively, is there any documentation about what is read with RESTORE HEADERONLY so I could write a tool myself?
Where would I find the version "bytes" in a BAK file?

SQL Server 2005 SP2 Replication
I am having problems installing the SQL Server Compact Server Tools on my
Vista laptop to allow me to connect my Mobile Device running SQL Server
Compact directly to my SQL Server 2005 database through IIS.
I have done this successfully with an XP machine so I'm not sure if it is
Vista problem or not.
I have installed SQL Server 2005 SP2. When I try to install the replication
server tools (Sqlce30setupen.msi), in "System Configuration Check" window I get a failure on "SQL Server requirement" that says: "You must first install the Replication Components for SQL Server 2000 SP 3a
or higher or the SQL Server 2005 Replication Components" and the client components are full instaled in my computer.
I need help for detect and correct the problem.
Sincereously,
Alonso Junior

Hopefully a simple question: Is it possible to use Maintenance Plans created on SQL Server Management Studio (installed as part of an instance of SQL Server 2005 Standard Ed.) to back up databases running on an instance of SQL Server Express Edition with Advanced Services? I don't need directions, just whether or not it is permitted.
I've been able to create the plans including establishing connections to from SSMS to the the SQL Express instance, but they keep erroring out. I just need to know if this is actually permitted since Maintenance Plans are not available on Management Studio Express Edition.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,
I am using SQL Express 2005 server and sql compact edition for my PDA. For synchronization, which SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Server Tools installation package do I use?
Is it Sqlce30setupen.msi or sql2kensp4.msi or sql2kensp3a.msi? I know for sql server 2005 its Sqlce30setupen.msi. Is it the same for the SQL Express 2005?
Thanks

Hello,
I have installed SQL server 2005 enterprise edition on Windows 2003 virtual PC (full installation). The installation went through successfully. However, after install completed, I cannot find any of the client tools under the start menu -> all programs -> Microsoft SQL server 2005 menu. The only item listed under the SQL server 2005 is Configuration Tools, which is used to configure the database server.
I have tried to install the client component again (in case I didn't install them at the first place) but the installation process cannot be started since it detected that the client components have been installed already. I can also see the sql server native client running in the services.
The server engine is working fine since I can connect to that sql server using another machine where I have the client tool (SQL server management studio).
One of my friends has exactly the same problem. He installed the sql server 2005 Standard edition on windows 2003 server (full installation), but the client tools are not showing up in the start menu either.
I also checked the location for the SQL server management studio (Microsoft SQL server/90/Tools/Binn/VSShell/Common7/IDE), there is only one folder called publicAssemblies listed under. Is this correct or something is missing?
Thanks

I want to know if there are any tools that will allow
a DBA to monitor changes that occur on SQL databases
(deletion, addittion or modifications) on any objects,
and Sql security.
I have looked at Profiler in SQL and it is very limited
and plus it is huge memory hog and causes degradation on
your servers.

This may be an intuitively obvious question, and if so, I apologize.
Speaking in terms of best practices here, what is the preferred method for allowing developers to work with databases in SQL Server? If they use Management Studio, then they have access to tools for perhaps messing with other databases, etc. that they should not (assuming it is not correctly secured). Likewise with Enterprise Manager. I can see where they would use Query Analyzer, but these two are now combined in Management Studio.
I'm just inquiring into how other DBA's do this. I realize there are DBA's that are developers and vice-versa, but what if there is a clear line of distinction and you want to keep the tools used in these roles separate?
Thanks in advance.
Kevin

Opinions on Idera??
A rep from Idera came to pitch Idera SQL Server tools.
My boss is mostly interested in SOX compliance auditing for
relatively few servers.
We have some interest in performance monitoring.
I am mostly interested in a centralized configuration database
to manage 50 or so instances of SQL Server, both SQL 2000 and 2005.
Have you tried Idera?
Like?
Like something else better?
