is it ok to run VSS (shadow copies) on an SQL server?
I have IIS and SQL on the same server. I would like to make shadow copies of my IIS files, but don't want to do anything that could corrupt my SQL databases.
Thanks,

I am creating a program that will take a master database and create separate databases for class room training.creating my own app to do this since it will have other stuff to do.i will have a master database that i will need to create multiple copies of. 2-20 copies, it is about 7GB large. it is used in a classroom training course for our company software. it will also copy a folder on the server onto multiple subfolders.each computer in the classroom will access its own copy of the database/windows folders.
What i am looking for is a fast/reliable way to create the multiple database copies. then when the training class is over and a new one is getting started, we will run my program to reset everything back to start.Should i detach/copy/attach or create a master backup and restore it 20 times. What kind of user access pitfalls will i need to look out for.
Hi, I am new in the team . I have just finished designing accounting system. The customer is looking forward to have a shadow database that traces all the transactions, modifications of vouchers done by users. Is there white papers or articles that can direct me for best performance.

Can someone please express their experience and recommendations for the following questions?
1. Do you need to unable SQL-Backup if you already using a 3rd party software utility to backup the SQL data drives?
2. If you do not want to shutdown SQL services for backup can you use Volume Shadow Copy as a solution to open files?
3. What size would you recommended to use for the Transaction Logs DB if my Data DB size is 2GB
I am running Windows 2003 with SQL 2000/SP3. Obviously, I am not an expert in SQL so I appreciate your help.

I'm trying to copy results from a view on one table to another table in a different db using DTS in SQL Server Management Studio
Both source and destination db's are version 8.0.194
Everything reports as working, but when I check the results, only one row has copied - DTS reports that 1167 rows were copied.
This happens to different sources and destinations so I doubt it's my query.
When I perfrom the same DTS task using the old enterprise manager DTS in SQL Server 2000, everything copies fine.
Obviously one answer is "Use SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager then. " but I'd rather upgrade to 2005 and Management Studio permanently.
Any ideas?
Hi,
at work all the databases i use are only accessible via the local network, i am wanting to take a copy of the databases and save them as a database file so i can burn them onto cd and take home with me so i can get some extra work done on the weekend (i'd also like to start doing this so i have backed up copies of the database incase anything happens to it)
i was wondering how i can do this? are there any tutorials on the web that someone can point me to? i have SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express.
TIA
I'm getting 3 copies of the result set expected, could someone take a look and tell me why. I know I covered this in school, but I can't remember the issue. Thanks

I work for a Geographic Information Systems contractor and we are new to SQL 2005. One of our clients sent us a copy of an .mdf file. I have tried to attach the file but they did not send us the associated log file. What is the most efficient way for us to exchange copies of SQL 2005 databases with clients. Most of our clients are novices with SQL 2005 also.
Thanks,

In previous threads I saw that in a scenario where Log Shipping is active any other Log Backup activities should be avoided in order to let the Log Chain stay intanct.
Until now we just used Mirroring and Full Backup and Log Backup. Introducing Log Shipping to a third Server in a separate location would mean that the existing Log Backup Jobs must be removed or Log Shipping will not work.
I am glad to have read these threads before falling into that trap myself.
A question was raised by my colleague who is responsible for the System and Network Administration. Are these Log Backups that will be performed by Log Shipping just differential? He would not like to see that Log Shipping is pushing or pulling Log's that grow during time.
I named to him two reasons that it must be differential. A Log Backup truncates the existing Log which implies that the next Log is just the difference since the last Backup. Also, it must be differential because the Transations can only be committed once anyway, so Log Shipping implies that those Log Backups are just as big as the incoming Transactions since the last Log Backup.
Did I get this right?
Hey guys,
I'm using CLR integration on SQL Server 2005 to call functions from a COM dll made with VB6. I do this to keep some important parts in packed unmanaged code, to make reverse engineering harder.
I keep the COM dll in the system directory. When it's referenced from a .net project, VS copies and uses it as 'interop.myCOM.dll'. When I add the assembly to SQL Server, it needs the referenced 'interop.myCOM.dll' file added. When a class from the COM dll is called by a CLR stored procedure, it needs to locate the real COM dll.
So, the same dll has to be in two different places in two different forms, one as an assembly (interop), and one in its own place. I guess the 'interop' one is not really used, but it just helps to retrieve class information during design time and initialization or something. Everything works ok, but thinking about the packing step and others, this makes things messy. How can I prevent using two copies of my COM dll?
I load the COM class as follows:
Code Snippet
Private Shared ReadOnly m_myClass As myCOM.clsGeneric = New myCOM.clsGeneric
then map stored procedures (shared functions) to related functions of the m_myClass object.
I'm working in a team, and need to share a database between the group - we don't have the luxury of sharing a server and connecting to it.
So What we'd like to do is make a copy of the database schema, and then share that through our repository.
I figured I just need to copy the .mdf file from the sql server database folder, and put it in the visual studio directory to work on it?
So I've tried this, but when I try to create a TableAdapter to the database through visual studio, It gives me an "access denied". I figure this is probably something to do with security settings?
Do you think I'll need to change my Database connection from windows authentication to sql authentication?
I don't really know exactly how to do what I'm trying to do, so any help will be appreciated.
ok her is my question.
there are two developers in different offices and they have started with the same db and keep modifying the stored procedures. in a point they want to update their copies of the DB with each other. Is there a easy way to do this in MS Sql server 2005.

Wondering how this is handled by Multicast component. If multiple copies are created in the memory and the size of the dataset is large, this could cause some performance problems. Any thoughts? TIA

Maybe I'm going the wrong way to do this, but I could use some help. Ideally I'll make the batch to do the importing via bulkcopy or something like it of a text file into a table and use windows scheduler to automate it. Be as specific as you can please, I'm very new to sql server.

I am new to reporting services and I'm really stuck on a design problem. Can someone please help me?
I would like to design my own print function. When a user clicks on the print icon (preferably the one that came with reporting services), the report is automatically printed twice, once with "For Person A" and the second time with "For Person B" on it. It doesn't matter where these two labels are placed on the page. These two reports need to be printed on letter-size paper regardless of user's selection. How do I do this with minimum amount of code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
My server is a dual AMD x64 2.19 GHz with 8 GB RAM running under Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with service pack 1 installed. We have SQL 2000 32-bit Enterprise installed in the default instance. AWE is enabled using Dynamically configured SQL Server memory with 6215 MB minimum memory and 6656 maximum memory settings.
I have now installed, side-by-side, SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition in a separate named instance. Everything is running fine but I believe SQL Server2005 could run faster and need to ensure I am giving it plenty of resources. I realize AWE is not needed with SQL Server 2005 and I have seen suggestions to grant the SQL Server account the 'lock pages in memory' rights. This box only runs the SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 server databases and I would like to ensure, if possible, that each is splitting the available memory equally, at least until we can retire SQL Server 2000 next year. Any suggestions?
Hi,
We have an old machine which holds SQL server 2000 database. We need to migrate a whole database to a new machine which has SQL server 2005.
When we tried to move whole database using Import and Export Wizard, only tables can be selected to import/export. However we want to import/export the whole database, including tables, stored procedure, view, etc. Which tool should we use?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am having a problem connecting my .net applications from the application server to the database server. When I run the application from my windows xp (sp2) box it works fine. When I try to connect via SQL Management Studio to the database server from the application server I get the same error.
Here is the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
Here is the Environment:
App Server:
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
Inside Company's Firewall/ Network
Database Server:
Windows Server 2000 Advanced Edition
SQL Server 2000 SP4
Remote Connections to the Server is checked
Enable Protocols: Named Pipes & TCP/IP
TCP/IP Port: 1402 (I don't know why it isn't the default of 1433)
The db server is sitting out side the Company's firewall (don't ask me why). I can access it fine from inside the firewall on my XP box but not from windows server 2003. There is a web server outside the our network that also connects to the db server with no problem and that is running Windows Server 2003 Web Edition.
I can ping the db server from the app server using the IP address.
I tried using the IP address and the port 1402 in my connection string but that didn't work from any machine (XP and Server).
I imagine the issue is somehow related to the company's firewall but why would it only block Windows Server 2003 and not XP?
What do I tell the network admin to change?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Oran
if you can restore a database to Server B using Server A as the service. Meaning we would issue the command on Server A but somehow point to Server B as where we want the restore to happen.
The backup file would be in a location independent of both servers.
Dear all,On Win2000 server with SP3, I am trying to access a SQL Server 7.0database, "TestDB", from VB6 via a SQL Server ODBC system DSN using ADO2.7. In SQL Server Enterprise Manager, there is a login named "Tester".In its property window, NO "Server Roles" was assigned but its"Database Access" was set to "TestDB". This login was also made as theuser of "TestDB" with "public", "db_datareader" and "db_datawriter"selected as its "Database role membership". All the tables I am tryingto access in "TestDB" were created under "Tester".My code is like:Set conn = New ADODB.Connectionconn.Open "DSN=TestDSN;UID=Tester;PWD=test"Set cmd = New ADODB.Commandcmd.ActiveConnection = conncmd.CommandText = SQLset rs = cmd.Execute()If I set the SQL to something like "SELECT * FROM tbl_test", I alwaysget an error of "-2147217865" saying "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL ServerDriver][SQL Server] Invalid object name tbl_test". If I set the SQL to"SELECT * FROM Tester.tbl_test", everything runs properly. Could anyoneplease kindly advise why the first SQL is not working? Or in otherwords, why must I prefix the table name with its owner while the DBconnection is already made under that owner name? Thanks in advance.Tracy

According to this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277 I am supposed to:
1.
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Surface Area Configuration.
Ok, there is no such program in this folder. The only thing in there is "SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting"...
The other thing I am greatly concerned with is this: All is want is for my webpages to be able to access my database for user authentication. I DO NOT want to grant the internet rights to remote connect to my database.

Hi Guys,
I have had SQL Server Express and Sql Server Management Studio Express installed on my machine for some time and recently tried to install a trial of SQL Server 2005 as well. (Yes, I'm migrating from Visual Studio Express to Visual Studio Professional, just as in tended!)
Everything went fine except that nothing seemed to be installed. I searched in all the obvious places - both on the Start/Programs menu and on the hard-drive: nothing.
A check under Add/Remove Programs showed that Sql Server 2005 Express was installed, but called SQL Server 2005.
So after a number of retries in which the install program kept saying that there was nothing to install, I selected every option under Advanced in the intall process. This resulted in stuff being installed and I now have SQL Server 2005 running on my machine, but no SQL Server Manager icon.
My questions are:
Where can I find the SQL Server Manager executeable?
Has anyone installed SQL Server Express, SQL Server Mangement Studio Express, SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server Management Studio on a single machine successfully? If so, what order did you install them in? (I'm planning on uninstalling everything SXQL Server related and starting again.)
Thanks very much for your help.
Regards
Gary
