Hi guys!
When it comes to writing sql statements, I do ok. But I just know the basics on sql server dba stuff.
I need to create a sql server login account that has the ability to backup and restore databases, BUT NOTHING ELSE.
No ability to change anything other than via the restore process.
I figured out how to do the backup portion of my requirement, but not the restore part.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
I have a production SQLServer 6.5 on Nt 3.51 SP4
that had problems two weeks ago, an I had
to restore the backup of the previous night.
we are testing our disaster recovery procedures
on another server, identical to the production
one.
We have installed NT 3.51 SP 4 and SQLServer 6.5
in the same order and with the same configuration
of the production server,
but i can't restore on the test server the
backup files that i have succesfully resotred
on the production server.
we make the SQLServer back up on file ( and
then we backup those files on tape with
NT backup) so I don't think is a problem
of HW Tape Bios or Compression because
i have tried to resotre directly the
files without taking them from a tape.
1)
I have created a new database , without data,
with the same devices, in megabyte, that I
have on the production server.
than from enterprise manager I have started
the restore from file, and after two seconds
everything stops, and I can't even shutdown
the task but i MUST turn the server off
using the power button.
when I start the server again there are
no specific errors in the event log nor
in the SQLServer error log.
The db i was trying to restore is marked
"loading" and it is not available.
This same procedure works perfectly
on the production server.
2)
I have then created another db on the test
server, and I have succesfully tranferred
( but not resotred) the produciont db
onto the test one, using the transfer menu
on SQLEnterprise manager.
3)
another strange thing is that I have tryed
to expand the tempdb, which is only 2 mega
by default, but whenever i try to expand it,
using enterprise manager, only the LOG area
of tempdb sucessfully expands, not the data area.
I don't know if this behaviour is related
to the unsuccesfull restore or if
it is another problem.
i have checked the sort order and character set
of the 2 servers and they are the same.
thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
Hopefully someone out there will be able to help me with this question. I'm trying to setup my C# program to use the Backup and Restore classes to perform backups and restores on an SQL Express 2005 database.
From the documentation I've read... it seems that when you go to restore the database, it's a good idea to backup the current transaction log. But when I do this using the Backup.SqlBackup method I get an error saying that no database backup is detected so a log backup can't occur. I'm not sure if this has something to do with the fact that I moved my backup files from the default SQL Express/Server Backup folder to a different location. Shouldn't it know I've already performed a backup though?
And does anyone know how to set a parameter to backup to a different file location than the default? I've been doing a backup then a file move. Works the same, but it would be nice to have everything together in the Backup object.
Thanks!
Hi!
I have a SQL 2000 database that has several tables with the same name but with different users/logins.
Example:
Database "Customers"
Table Customer with user / login CompanyA
Table Customer with user / login CompanyB
Table Contact with user / login CompanyA
Table Contact with user / login CompanyB
I need to split these into two different database's
Database "CustomersA"
Table Customer with user / login CompanyA
Table Contact with user / login CompanyA
Database "CustomersB"
Table Customer with user / login CompanyB
Table Contact with user / login CompanyB
Any good idea how to do this?

For registering UNSAFE assemblies, we have to sign the dll and register it in SQL 2005. Also, the permission needs to be granted to a login..
Example code;
CREATE ASYMMETRIC KEY MyKey FROM EXECUTABLE FILE = 'C:AssembliesInterop.SQLDMO.dll'
CREATE LOGIN MyLogin
FROM ASYMMETRIC KEY MyKey
GRANT UNSAFE ASSEMBLY To MyLogin
What is the purpose of creating this MyLogin and how it serves to access the unsafe assembly.
Can anyone throw more light on this.
Thanks

Hi to everybody,
I have a permission problems with user create for service.
I created an user without login in a database. I use this user for service broker activation procedure.So, this user have a certificate to exports in other database.
To generalize activation procedure of many service broker queue I try to use this piece of code :
DECLARE @QueueName nvarchar(MAX)
DECLARE @queue_id int
SELECT @queue_id = queue_id FROM sys.dm_broker_activated_tasks
WHERE spid = @@SPID
SELECT @QueueName = [name] FROM sys.service_queues
WHERE object_id = @queue_id
To use this DMV user need VIEW SERVER STATE grant but this is an user DB and I can't give this grant to user.
How I can do it?
Somebody can help me?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I created a database,login,user and schema like belows.
-- 2. create database
CREATE DATABASE MyTempDatabase;
-- 3. create login
CREATE LOGIN MyTempLogin WITH PASSWORD = '#mytemplogin$',
DEFAULT_DATABASE = MyTempDatabase,
CHECK_EXPIRATION = OFF,
CHECK_POLICY = OFF;
--
USE MyTempDatabase;
-- 4. create user
CREATE USER MyTempLogin FROM LOGIN MyTempLogin WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = MyTempSchema;
-- 5. create schema
CREATE SCHEMA MyTempSchema AUTHORIZATION MyTempLogin;
The created user,MyTempLogin, must have permissions that can create tables,drop tables,select,insert,delete,update and bulk insert.
How can I grant permissions to the user?(or schema?)
I failed to grant by T-SQL query.
Additionally, what is purppose of the ROLE? Should I create or use it?
I'm confusing in security concept(login,user,schema,role).
Thanks.
Hi There
The backup database permission seems to only be at a database level , grant backup database and db_backupoperator role only exist at a database level.
However i want to permission to a user to backup any database, and he must not be a sysadmin. I cannot find a server level role that can backup databases.
How can i do this? There are alot of database so granting the permission for every database seems a waste of time, also one would have to remember every time a new database is created to grant this permission.
There must be a way to do this at a server level?
Thanx
I am looking for a SQL Backup/Restore tools which can restore multiple environments. Here is high level requirements.
1. We have 4 DBs, range from 1 TB - 1.5 TB Each Database. When we restore to QA, DEV, or Staging, we usually restore 4 of them.
2. I am looking for the speed to complete restoring between 1 - 2 hours for 4 DBs.
I am evaluating the Dephix Software but the setup is very complex and its given us a lot of issues with Windows Authentions, and failure in the middle of the backup. I used Guess Software many years ago but can't find it on the web site any more. Speed is very important for us mean complete restoring as fast as possible. We are on SQL 2012 and SQL 2008 R2.We are currently using NETAPP Technology and I have Redgate Backup Tool but I am mainly looking for fast Restore Process.
Need to restore database,here's the scenario:
Data got deleted on Friday evening, need to have database restored to FRiday afternoon and also some data has been entered on Monday, which needs to be there.
GRANT SELECT ON [dbo].[TblAreaCatmap] TO [admin] prevent grant from being automaticly add to each column?
Is there a way when you issue a grant select to a table or a view to not also grant select for each column.
The problem is when you use the grant command it automaticly adds the grant command to each column. I want to grant the permission at the table level so when the table is scripted it only has a single grant command instead of a grant for the table and a grant for each column which is not needed.
The sql managemnt studion interface will allow you to do this but onlt by using the interface. If you issue the above command from a query window it also creates A GRANT FOR EVERY COLUMN. How can I stop this behavior.
I should restore a SQL Server 2005 Database from backup. The backup contains three files, named user.bak0, user.bak1 and user.bak2.
How is the syntax of the restore filelistonly and the restore database ... ?
I usualy write
restore filelistonly from disk = 'path and filenam.bak'
restore database. zy
from disk = 'path and filename.bak'
with replace,
move.....
move....
This works but I cannot use it with a splitted backup file. The files are much too big to put together to one file.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I am writing a stored procedure which updates a table, but when I run the stored procedure using a login that I have granted execute privileges on, then I get a message that I cannot run an update on the table. This would happen in dynamic sql... while my SQL has parameter references, I don't think it is considered dynamic SQL?
sproc:
CREATE PROCEDURE [schemaname].[SetUserCulture]
@UserID int
, @Culture nvarchar(10)
AS
UPDATE dbo.SecUser
SET Culture = @Culture
WHERE UserID = @UserID
execute SQL:
EXEC schemaname.SetUserCulture @UserID = 9, @Culture = N'x'
error:
The UPDATE permission was denied on the object 'SecUser', database 'DatabaseName', schema 'schemaname'.
In SQL Server 2005 SP2 I want to grant the ability to create views to a user but in order to do this it requires that the users has the ability to grant alter on a schema.
Is there any way to grant this privilage without granting alter on schema also?
Have a certificate and symmetric key that i have used the following to GRANT to logins. How can I find out which SQL logins have the GRANT CONTROL and GRANT VIEW DEFINTION?

I neglected to backup the transaction log as part of the process of backing up the database. Now i only have the backup file for the database and no transaction log backup. When i try to do a restore on the database, i get the error on a "tail log missing" message (which i'm assuming is that it's looking for the t-log backup?).
Is it possible to restore or even restore to a new database? I'm only looking to retreive data from 2 tables within the backup file.
Thanks!

Hello Guys
We´re in a big deep problem...
We lost some data from our SQLServer and now we discover that the SQLServer agent was not running and the backup was not being performed.
Is that any way to recover the lost data from the log files, even if we have to retype everything?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have sql server 2000 loaded on my nt machine. Also have another sql2000 server on the network. I have connected to the these servers thru sql enterprise managers.
We have a vb application which uses sql database. I have created a DSN to the server on the network with the options to use sql login and supplied the username and passwords.
when I try to start the vb application it asks for the which dsn to use. then it gives the sql error message saying login failed for the nt user ( i.e my nt login name) then displays another login box with use trusted connection option checked. I wasn't ables to figure out why the DSN is using the nt login instead of sql login.
Any help is greatly apppreciated. Thank you.
can we restore (migrate) database from MS SQLserver 2005 to MS SQLserver 2000
Pls reply.
Hi,
I have a database running on sqlserver 2000. This database (let's call it TestDatabase) has 2 filegroups called 'PRIMARY' and 'SECONDARY', and is bulk-logged. The 'SECONDARY' filegroup is set to readonly since no data gets changed there by the applications, it is read-only data. Sometimes this read-only data needs an update, so I need to update the data in the 'SECONDARY' filegroup by running some long data-operations. These data-operations are executed and checked on a another database (which is a backup of TestDatabase) called TestDatabaseDemo. When everything is correct in TestDatabaseDemo we can copy all objects from the 'SECONDARY'-filegroup of TestDatabaseDemo to the 'SECONDARY'-filegroup of TestDatabase using DTS. This takes a long time and I want to try if I could speed up things by using the following strategy:
Take a full backup of TestDatabase
Restore full backup as TestDatabaseDemo
Run long-running data-operations on TestDatabaseDemo
Take a backup of TestDatabaseDemo
Restore only the 'SECONDARY'-filegroup from TestDatabaseDemo to TestDatabase, and keeping the 'PRIMARY' filegroup from TestDatabase as it was at that moment.
Suppose we arrived at step 5, I am executing the following commands:
Code Snippet
--make full backup of TestDatabase
backup database TestDatabase to DISK='G: emp estdatabase.bak' with init
--make full backup of TestDatabaseDemo
backup database TestDatabaseDemo to DISK='G: emp estdatabasedemo.bak' with init
backup log TestDatabase to DISK='g: emp estdatabase.log'
--restore secondary filegroup from TestDatabasedemo-backup
restore database TestDatabase FILEGROUP='SECONDARY' FROM DISK='G: emp estdatabasedemo.bak'
with move 'TestDatabase_Data_Secondary' to 'G: empTestDatabase_Data_secondary.ndf', NORECOVERY
--restore primary filegroup from Testdatabase-backup
restore database TestDatabase FILEGROUP='PRIMARY' FROM DISK='G: emp estdatabase.bak'
with move 'TestDatabase_Data' to 'G: empTestDatabase_Data.mdf', NORECOVERY
--restore log and try to get db onlin
restore log TestDatabase FROM DISK='g: emp estdatabase.log' with recovery
I get the following error:
The log in this backup set terminates at LSN 6000000021500001, which is too early to apply to the database. A more recent log backup that includes LSN 6000000022400003 can be restored.
When trying to execute "RESTORE DATABASE TestDatabase WITH RECOVERY; " as last statement
I get error:
The database cannot be recovered because the files have been restored to inconsistent points in time.
How i can restore the read-only filegroup correctly?

Hi all,
I have restored a database from one SQL server 2000 installation to the target (test) server of exactly the same type.
After the restore, I have found that the sa User in my database is missing. If I go to logins under 'Security' in Enterprise Manager, the sa login is there and after viewing properties for this Login, it is checked as having acces to my offending database under the Database Access Tab.
I try to uncheck it but it tells me that the name dbo was not found in the users collection. I go back to the database and try and add the user (login = sa, Name = dbo) and returns with the error
Error 15405: Cannot use the reserved user or role name 'sa'.
Can anyone explain this and how I can reinstate the sa id (The is did not have a password on either servers.
Thanks
