I need to make my database unavailable when i am loading the db. This
happens daily and the db is not connected to any online app, to make
the app unavailable. It is queried thru an Access and hence available
all the time.
The load happens daily for an hour in the morning.
Is there anyway to make it inaccessible to users while loading data
and then make it accessible
In a SSIS Data flow task, whatever you are doing with the input columns that come from a Data source like a Flat File Source, these columns are always visible and available as input columns for all Transformation and Destination components in the Data flow.
Our Custom Component is a column mapping component that transforms many input columns into many oputput columns and we would like that the used input columns are not available anymore to the downstream components...
Is that possible?
I saw that with the Unpivot component it is possible to make some input columns unavailable to downstream components...So I think there is a way to do the same in a custom component...
I actually work in an organisation and we have to find a solution about the data consistancy in the database. our partners use to send details to the organisation and inserted directly in the database, so we want to create a new database as a buffer database to insert informations from the partners then make an update to the main database. is there a better solution instead of that?
1. Is it possible and what would be the gotchas for taking a backup of a database in a 32 bit instance of sql server 2000 and loading it into a 64 bit instance of 2000? How about 2005 to 2005?
2. Is it possible to reverse that and go from a 64 bit to a 32 bit?
3. How about going from a 32 bit sql server 2000 into a 64 bit sql server 2005?
We're on the verge of upgrading a rather large database from sqlserver 2000 (32 bit) into 2005 (32 bit) but they anticipate eventually upgrading the hardware to 64 bit at least for production. The test node would remain at 32 bit. Thanks for any help.
I gave the command to restore database and in the middle of recovery i canceled it. now the database is showing 'loading'. I am not able to do any thing to it.please suggest how to make it operational.I also want the data upto the time, I gave the command 'recover database'. thanks.
I have just restored one of my databases. Now, that database is no longer available to me. It has been marked as 'Database(Loading)'
I have reviewed and tried the suggestions given from previous posts of this same question, and they have not been successful (i.e. 'RESTORE DATABASE DPeople WITH RECOVERY' as well as re-restoring the database).
I have to load a 4 level XML file into Relational Database.
1. The input xml file contains a DTD definition reference. (Its an external file)
2. When tried using an XML source it prompts to set the prohibitdtd setting to false on xmlreader - How to do this.
3. I have primary keys (identity columns) - which are foreign keys in the next level and these primary keys can be generated only once I insert the record into the table. - What would be the best approach for this kind of Data transformations.

I canceled a restore job, and now the database is marked (Loading). When I go to propertied it tells me "database can't be opened, it's in a middle of a restore" Yet from a Query window I can connect and run queries against that database. Should I just wait until it finishes "Loading" or should I re-start the server? Thanks
while loading the transaction log dump on a 'STANDBY' database the connection got terminated. as a result the database was marked 'LOADING' and inaccesible. i would like to know if there is a way to get the db out of this mode without having to reapply a full database dump.
P.S. please ignore the previous two messages posted with the same subject line. i inadvertently pressed post twice. sorry for the spam.
I have a problem in restoring a Database. I have restored a database of size 25MB only onto a different database. This I have done through Query Analyzer not through Enterprise Manager. After restoration the database changed to Loading mode.
I thought it would take some time and change back to the normal mode. But in my case even after 24 hours database didnot change back to the normal mode. I am able to use database.
The following is the command executed through Query Analyzer,
RESTORE DATABASE Test FROM disk ='c:mssql7ackuphrmdump.dat' WITH REPLACE, MOVE 'Test' TO 'c:mssql7datahrm.mdf', MOVE 'Test_log' TO 'c:mssql7datahrm_log.ldf'
I am new at SQL and I have been asked to load some data into a database. I was given a file that has an extention .sql. shown below are the first few lines
This looks to me like it was built to be scripted in or use some function of SQL to create and populate the table... does that make sense? Anyway, is there an easy way to insert this data into a table?
I recently installed MSDE on a laptop. I then restored several databases from backup files without problem. However, one database is constantly stuck at the grey colour displaying the (Loading) message.
Why won't this database restore ? It is of course the most important database and I only have the one backup file.
This only appears to fail on his server. Do I need to uninstall MSDE and start over ?
Here's my delema, I have a file that's 308 bytes wide by 5.7 million records. The record length is fixed and the position and width of the known within the record. When I run DTS I recieve this error Msg MS DTS flat file provide and Err Diesdription: error creating file mapping view: not enough storage is available to process this command. Then when I try to continue with the wizard, it will not allow me to separate the data into the format that I need. Is there any other way to import this file using DTS?
I had to restore a database late this afternoon. I have the database set to FULL recovery. Database backups are performed nightly and transaction log backups are performed every other hour. I decided to perform a point-in-time restore. When I restored this way everything seems to go ok and it finishes. Then the database is grayed and says "Loading". Although I tried 4 separate times, one time allowing over an hour, the grayed out database and "Loading" never goes away.
Freaking out I deleted the "Loading" database (didn't delete logs and backup files) and tried a manual restore from the previous night's backup file. It attached and restored properly and was ready to go in 2 minutes.
Of course I wanted to get the transaction log files restored too, since it had work from earlier today. So I tried another restore via point-in-time and got the same old messages. Currently, the database is running with the previous night's backup restored but the users aren't too keen on having to do 5 hours worth of work to catch up to the previous transaction log backup come Monday morning.
Hi ,I have a file presumably backup of a User database from a SQLServer(2k) database. I want to load/restore that in a local SQL Serverto be able to see the table , views , etc present in the database.How do I do that ?Thanks,Arijit
I have a Excel cross-tab (multilevel column) report that need to be loaded into a database table. Currently, I am using a Excel macro that convert the columns into rows before loading into the database table. I was thinking whether there is a better way of doing this perhaps in SSIS or using XML.
I am almost wrapping up a project of my own and I will have the option to restore the database, so dropping the existing one and then running the SQL script to create the database, tables, stored procedures and so on.
My question is, (using .NET 2.0 C#) - what is the best way to resolve the "cannot drop database as it is currently in use" message, or some message of the similar sort?
Even though I specified "USE MASTER" in the commandText string, there will be somewhere, in a situation, where the database will still be in use.
How can I forcefully make it NOT in use, drop it and do other things I like to?
I Restored the database from Backup with a Different database Name. I got a message the Restore Database was successful. Still the database has Loading Status. Can you let me know what I have to take that status.
I can run this example from SQL Book Online from sql query analyzer. I can build the TestDB database.
BACKUP DATABASE Northwind TO DISK = 'c:Northwind.bak' RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'c:Northwind.bak' RESTORE DATABASE TestDB FROM DISK = 'c:Northwind.bak' WITH MOVE 'Northwind' TO 'c: est estdb.mdf', MOVE 'Northwind_log' TO 'c: est estdb.ldf' GO
But... When I build stored procedure and call it through VB6. I've got the gray database symbol along with message TestDB (Loading/Suspecting) Why I cannot run these commands through VB6
Hi: I have installed sql server 2005 express and SQL Server Management Studio Express How can I generate a database from another copying the structure and data?

I work as a computer repair tech for my company and have been offered the opportunity to do a project. I'm looking to make a database of about 2000 peoples fingerprints (2 copies of each finger). We have Microsoft SQL Server but I have no Idea where to start. The vision is, to have an RFID scanner and have everyone swipe their badge then scan their prints and it automatically associates their prints with the badge number. Is there an easier or more simple way to do this or do you have any pointers on where to start? any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.:angel:
