I just start my job as sql server DBA. We have disaster recovery plan. We implement Log shipping . My question after the server failiure, when production server up again ,how to point stand by server to production server?, any help will be appreciated.
View 1 Repliesany suggestions on having one web config that once put on the dev servers uses the dev sql server and when put on prod will use the production sql server?
would like to encrypt it and be done with it. but it needs to recognize the server it's on.
I have a connection class that does this - but i need to use sqldatasource and not objectdatasource.
does anyone know of any potential issues of using a 32 bit sql server 2005 instance used for disaster recovery of a 64 bit sql 2005 cluster ?
thanks
I am migrating from local to Dev,QA and Prod.
I created a .dtsconfig file containing database connection strings to Dev database. What is the "location" on the Dev server where this .dtsconfig file nees to be deployed to??
Thanks for your help.
Can SQL Server 7.0 be installed on a laptop as a stand-alone run-time application (using a VB front-end application)? Is it necessary to use MS Access as a gateway, or can SQL Server 7.0 really stand on its own?

Hello everybody .
I have 40 GB db running mostly transaction processing.
I set up
1. back full backup 2 times a day (takes 30 -40 min)
2. log backup every 15 min
3. custom log shipping
4. We don't won't use Cluster.
Once in while becouse of nethwork, or other problem log shipping fails,
so I have to restart log shipping all over starting from restore in stand by mode last full back of my db.IT takes 2-3 hrs just to do this restore !!!
1. So I am asking advice is any way I do restore in less time ?
2. Should diffrential backup be taken ?
3. We will not use Custer

Hi
How to use replication to implement a stand by server in MS SQL
Thanks in advance
Murali
Here is the scenario:
We have an existing production non clustered SQL 2000 server instance that we need to migrate to a new clustered SQL 2000 server instance. We need to accomplish this without affecting the FQDN that applications use to call this server. I found this article on a solution to rename the server after an xcopy of the entire db structure. Here is the link http://vyaskn.tripod.com/moving_sql_server.htm. The other issue that we are trying to resolve is the time it takes for the snapshots of replication to run (in our case almost a full day). That is why this approach looked like it may be a good solution for us.
Here is the question:
Is it possible to move our existing database to a new clustered environment without having to change the FQDN that other applications use to access this database and without having to reinitialize replication?
I'm having an issue to restoring database from prod to report server. I'm getting following error.
When I did Manually I got first error as below.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running SQL Server 2005 on a Server 2003 machine serving both our home network as well as a remote site through a point-to-point T1. While file transfer speeds are up to par, the remote site's interaction with SQL Server (Point of sale system) is very slow. After testing I am certain that it has nothing to do with the actual physical machine in place neither is it an issue with the program itself since speeds are as they are supposed to be over the home network lan. It seems that there might be a packet size issue or something of the sort. Has anyone dealt with this before or have any thoughts?

I am using Linked Server in SQL Server 2008R2 connecting to a couple of Linked Servers.
I was able to connect Linked Servers, but I cannot point to a specific database in a Linked Server, also, I cannot rename Linked Server's name.
How to point the linked server to a specific database? How to rename the Linked Server?
The following is the code that I am using right now:
USE [master]
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver
@server = N'Machine123Instance456',
@srvproduct=N'SQL Server' ;
GO
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'Machine123Instance456', 'false', NULL, 'username', 'password'
What is the point of SQL Server 2005 Express ?On the Microsoft website (http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/express/default.mspx) it says:"SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is the next version of MSDE and is a
free, easy-to-use, lightweight, and embeddable version of SQL Server
2005." When I asked my hosting company about using it, they said this:"SQL Express is a development platform so we cannot provide this in the
production environment. We could however offer this as part of a
dedicated service." For this they charge £15/month ($30). I am supposed to use Access for small website development??
Is is true that in SQL Server 7, a point in time recovery can not read the active logs? So that any point in time recovery has to be with in some time frame of the backups of the logs?
Example:
If you have a full backup at 5 am.
Log backups every 2 hours.
You need to recover at 3:55. You would have to go back to your full backup from 2 am and the transaction logs from 6, 8, 10, 12, and 2.
You would lose any work done from 2-3:55pm?

Hello,
I currently have two servers, one is a SBS2003 server running SQL 2005 and SSRS (2005) and a 2000 SQL server. I want to extract data from the 2000 server but keep getting this error: "Remote access to report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. (rsOperationNotSupported)
When Iooked up this error, the only information I get is telling me that I can't do this in SQL Express, I'm not sure but I think the standard SQL in SBS is at least Workgroup?? What can I do to correct this?
Thanks

hi. i am managing a sql server 2000 database. for some reason, a table got dropped from the database--why i don't know; i'll worry about that later. is there a way to "rollback" the database to a point in time...say like 5 minutes ago? I have taken the database offline for the moment so no more changes can take place. i have never done this before and i would really appreciate some advice/online tutorials/help on this matter. i do have a full backup of the database because of nightly backups. any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Why are there more decimal positions here
PRINT cast(111 as decimal(38,35)) / 23
--> 4.82608695652173913043478260869565217
then here
DECLARE @Zähler decimal(38,35)
, @Nenner decimal(38,35)
SET @Zähler = 111.0
SET @Nenner = 23.0
PRINT cast(@Zähler as decimal(38,35)) / @Nenner
--> 4.826086
Of course, in the upper part 23 is implicitly an integer, in the lower example it is declared as decimal. But what if I need to devide by 23.5? Why is dividing by an decimal reducing the results decimal positions?

Can I use a full and differential backup to restore to a point of time?
Or I have to use full and transaction log backups in order to do a point of time restore?
I found today when I tried to restore a db from another database at the point of time for example 3:10 pm,
SSMS automatically select the full backup + the transaction backup that is done at 3:00 pm, but not select full + the differential backup I did at 3:12pm.
So I lost those records entered after 3:00pm.
I supposed it should use the differential backup and restore to 3:10. but it didn't.
I make two full backups on Oct 1 and Oct 10. I want to restore the server to a state in Oct 5. So I just do as follows:
1.Perform a transaction log backup on the server on Oct 23. I have never backup transaction log in the past.
2. Restore the server with Oct 1 full backup with NORECOVERY option.
3.Try to restore to the point at Oct 5 12:00, with the transaction log.
But the restore fails and SQL Server said the transaction log does not contain the point. The point is too early. Why? Also my .LDF file is about 13G, but the transaction log backup is only 200MB. Why?
I am trying to understand why SQL Server gives me significantly lower precision than many of the other sources that have tried when using the POWER function. My environment is 2008 R2 SP2 (10.50.4000.0 X64, Standard edition) on Windows 2008 X64 SP1
DECLARE @x FLOAT(53) = 1.0004;
DECLARE @y FLOAT(53) = 1.0/12.0;

GO
DECLARE @x FLOAT(24) = 1.0004;
DECLARE @y FLOAT(24) = 1.0/12.0;
[URL] ....
Answer: 3.33272237835747E-05
I also tried using Windows Calculator.Answer:3.3327223783495255846580902358195e-5
And an online "high-precision" calculator from [URL] ...
Answer: 3.332722378349525584658E-5
The best SQL results compare only to the fourth digit with other results. Everything else agrees to the 10th or 12th digit.
Is the precision of arithmetic calculations on SQL Server that bad, or am I doing something wrong here? Is there another more precise alternative?
I did the following. The results speak for themselves
DECLARE @x FLOAT(53) = 1.0004;
DECLARE @y FLOAT(53) = 1.0/12.0;
DECLARE @z FLOAT(53) = POWER(@x,@y)-1; -- Answer: 3.33270904724348E-05
SELECT POWER((1+@z),12); -- 1.00039999839968
-- using results from other sources (c#, windows calc, casio.com)
SELECT POWER((1+3.33272237835747E-05),12) -- 1.0004
SELECT POWER((1+3.3327223783495255846580902358195e-5),12)-- 1.0004
SELECT POWER((1+3.332722378349525584658E-5),12) -- 1.0004
It is not important what I am trying to do, but in case it will work, I am trying to calculate the monthly return for a 90-day T-bill given the compounded annual return. x is the annualized return.
Hi there SQLTEAM
We have just installed MSSQL 2000 / Project Server / Share-Point.
We've managed to publish a project plan to Project Server.
This project plan is now visible in Project Web Access.
Can someone point me in the right direction, I'm looking for all the data that is stored in SQL for example Projects / Tasks / resourses.
Is there a DATABASE DAIGRAM for project server?
I am trying to deploy the report into share point server through Visual Studio by using the [URL]..... But I am getting errors like [URL] .... could not be found.
I configured the the URL credentials like :
Target Datasource Folder: DEV/MyReports
Target Dataset Folder: DEV/MyReports
Target Report Folder: DEV/MyReports
Target Server URL: http://bigweb03
How can I deploy the reports in Sharepoint server to view the reports in online.
We have a 1TB Database. Our backup strategy looks like this.
Weekly Full backups - Saturday 10pm. (Takes anywhere between 5 - 9 hours)
twice Nightly Diffs (8:30p and 2:30am - Mid week this takes roughly 1.5 hours)
Hourly Log backups starting at 4:00am until 11pm.
I have an issue where I need to restore to 3:00 today. If my (2:30a)Diff is still running at that recovery point.
I am getting an error when trying to restore Full/2:30a Diff/4a Log with a stopat 3:00a.
Error telling me my log backup is incorrectly formed.
Can I, in fact, restore to this point at all? Do I need to go back to my previous Diff (8:30p) and restore the logs, if so, which ones?
My nighttime Diff ran from 8:30 - 10p.
I have logs at 9p, 10p, 11p, 4a
I am importing an excel spreadsheet into a MS SQL database table. When the spreadsheet is finished importing, I am noticing that some values that were brought in resemble something like this 1.41666666666667. Other values may be shorter or only have 1 digit. The problem is another web application that pulls this data for use in online forms only allows up to 2 digits. How can I round all of the numbers like the above to 2 decimals and replace the existing values?
I know there is the rounding function that could be used like so:
SELECT ROUND ([Hrs Total 2],2)
FROM AnnualClassifiedPAFs
How do I then take that rounded value and insert it back into the records?
Hello all,
First off, I appreciate the time that those of you reading and responding to this request are offering. My quesiton is a theoretical and hopefully simple one, and yet I have been unable to find an answer to it on other searches or sources.
Here's the situation. I am working with SQL Server 2005 on a Windows Server 2003 machine. I have a series of databases, all of which are in Full recovery mode, using a backup device for the full database backups and a separate device for the log backups. The full backups are run every four days during non-business hours. The log backups are run every half hour.
Last week, one of my coworkers found that some rarely-used data was unavailable, and wanted to restore a database to a point in time where the data was available. He told me that point in time was some time back in November.
To accomplish this, I restored the database (in a separate database, as to not overwrite my production database) using the Point in Time Recovery option. I selected November from the "To a point in time" window (I should note that this window is always grey, never white like most active windows, it seems), and the full database backup and the subsequent logs all became available in the "Select the backup sets to restore" window.
I then tried a bevy of different options from the "Options" screen. However, every restore succeeds (ie: it doesn't error out), but seems to be bringing the database back to a current point in time. It's never actually going back to the point in time I specify.
My questions are as follows:
a) Is it possible to do a point in time recovery to a point in time BEFORE the last full database backup?
b) If so, what options would you recommend I use? (ie: "Overwrite the existing database", restore with recovery, etc etc).
I again appreciate any and all advice I receive, and I look forward to hearing from anyone and everyone on this topic. Thank you.
Ryan
On one of our SQL Server 2014 boxes each database has a copy-only full backup made every night, in addition to the maintenance plan schedule of a full backup weekly, daily differential backups and log backups.
When performing a PIT restore in SSMS the restore file list lists the most recent copy-only backup as the full backup to use, not the most recent plan full backup. I noticed that using SSMS 2008 to start a PIT restore on the 2014 box does not have this problem, and lists the correct restore file sequence (ignores the copy-only backups).
Im backing up to a network directory thats actually a mount point on a different server.My backup was slower than usual so i opened up perfmon to have a look.
When selecting the mount point from the Logical Disks section in perfmon i can see that writes/sec & write bytes/sec both show zero for a long period of time, even though the backup percent complete is increasing.Then all of a sudden the writes to the network share jump massively.
Is there some caching mechanism for backups in sql where during a backup data is only flushed to the disk periodically during backup?
