Moving And Restoring Connections W/ SQL 2005 Databases
Dec 27, 2007
I have a question regarding moving databases within the same server but to a different drive. Using the 'Alter Database' query transaction procedures within the SQL Server Management Studio, I'm able to take a user database offline and move it. However, when using the Alter transaction to bring the database back online, I get errors. There was also an attempt that seemed to work, but the app that uses the database through ODBC can't see the database that was moved and errors out.
How can databases be moved and connections re-established within the same server?
Thanks...

I am working on a task. Currently we are taking a database backup and keeping that backups in a folder. The backups doesn't have time stamp on it. My task is need to get the latest backup and copy that backups into some other server and then restore the database from there.I am planning to create SSIS package.Do we need script task for this task.How to get the .bak with latest create or moidified date. For now we doesn't have timestamp so need to go based on modified date?

Hello,
Does anyone else ever experience this problem, and if so do you know what causes it:
When ever I restore a database called say XXX.mdf, it restores OK and I can view via MSE as XXX.mdf. Then when I visit MSE again there is another database called C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataXXX.mdf - both are linked to the same .mdf file, however if you try to expand XXX.mdf nothing happens as though the database has been detached?
Cheers MArco

I am in the process of moving my system databases to another volume. I have accommplished the first section pertaining to master database.
I have reached step 3 in the Resource database move section down below.
It states to change the FILENAME path to match the new location of the master database. Do not change the name of the database or the file names.
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource
MODIFY FILE (NAME=data, FILENAME= 'new_path_of_mastermssqlsystemresource.mdf');
I changed the query to point ot the new location of the master, (E:MSSQLData)
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource
MODIFY FILE (NAME=data, FILENAME= E:MSSQLDatamssqlsystemresource.mdf');
I get the following error when I run the query:
Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database mssqlsystemresource. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
What am I doing wrong? My syntax must be incorrect. But I can't figure it. Anybody done this before.
These are the steps per msdn.
****************************************************************************************************************
To move the master database, follow these steps.
1. From the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager.
2. In the SQL Server 2005 Services node, right-click the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service and choose Properties.
3. In the SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
4. Edit the startup parameters values to point to the planned location for the master database data and log files and click Apply. Moving the error log file is optional.
The parameter value for the data file must follow the -d parameter and the value for the log file must follow the -l parameter. The following example shows the parameter values for the default location of the master data and log files.
-dC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATAmaster.mdf;-eC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLLOGERRORLOG;-lC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATAmastlog.ldf
If the planned relocation for the master data file is E:SQLData and the planned relocation for the log file is F:SQLLog, the parameter values would be changed as follows:
-dE:SQLDatamaster.mdf;-eC:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLLOGERRORLOG;-lF:SQLLogmastlog.ldf
5. Stop the MSSQLSERVER service.
6. Physically move the files to the new location.
7. Restart the MSSQLSERVER service.
8. Verify the file change.
SELECT name, physical_name, state_desc
FROM sys.master_files
WHERE database_id = DB_ID('master');
********************************************************************************************
To move the Resource database, follow these steps.
1. Stop the MSSQLSERVER service if it is started.
2. Start the service in minimal mode. To do this, at the command prompt, enter <SQLPath>innsqlservr -c -f -T3608 where <SQLPath> is the path for the instance of ssNoVersion. For example, C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQL. This will start the instance of ssNoVersion for master-only recovery.
3. Run these queries. Change the FILENAME path to match the new location of the master database. Do not change the name of the database or the file names.
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource MODIFY FILE (NAME=data, FILENAME= 'new_path_of_mastermssqlsystemresource.mdf');
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource MODIFY FILE (NAME=log, FILENAME= 'new_path_of_mastermssqlsystemresource.ldf');
4. Make sure the Resource database is set to read-only by running this query:
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource SET READ_ONLY;
5. Physically move the files to the new location.
6. Restart the MSSQLSERVER service.

Hi all.
I don't know if this is the right forum to post this question, but here it goes.
We have restored into sql 2005 the database backups made in sql 2000. We connect with trusted connection and application roles, and when trying to execute a transaction to another database (with the guest user), we get a permission error.
Does anyone know if, apart from restoring the databases, we should do something else to get the guest user working the same way as with sql 2000 in the restored databases?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Followed this article to move my model and msdb databes but I think I messed up. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345408.aspx
The instance will not start because it says one of the files does not match it's primary file (not sure if it's model or msdb)
I can bring the instance up in single user mode (NET START mssqlserver /f /t3608) but when I try to do a query to re-do my alter statements, it says i can't attach because only one seesion is allowed. in 2000 i used to be able to start query analyzer without starting enterprise manager..
When i try and start with a minimal config (sqlservr -c -m) it won't start. I get an error saying that one of my files does not match it's primary file (either model or msbd don't know which) any ideas????????

I have moved my databases to 2000 to instance of 2005 on the same server.
Now i set databases offline in 2000 as i did upgrade use backup & recovery method.
& my connection string
Password=test;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=test;Initial Catalog=databasename;Data Source=ipaddress
i was using above connection string to connect when using 2000 databases form applications in the production machine
I get the following error when i am running my applications now after moving to 2005
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)
IS it because i have two server on one server or
What do i need to do in order to fix this....tried several thing by searching nothing worked out..
Let me know
thanks

Hello all,
I was wondering if there is a way to move ODBC connections between SQL servers? We are replacing our current server with newer hardware, and I have pretty much everything figured out except this.
Thanks for any help and/or hints.

I am fairly new to SQL Server and have a question about restoring a database . If a server that contained SQL Server was totally destroyed, and we have backups stored on an external server, how do we restore these backups. I am assuming I would have to install a new instance on the server we buy to replace the destroyed one. Once installed how do I convince or tell SQL Server that there are backups out there. I could move the archived backups back to the new server, but how do I point the new instance of SQL Server to these backups? Thanks in advance for any help.

I try to restore a database but I receive the message "...the database is compressing. Uncompress the database and try again..."
In the original system (MSQL 2003) the backup is doing by the utility "backup"
In my personal system (MSQL 2005) I use the restore utility
Notice that I don't use winzip, winrar or other compressing software
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance

I am in the process of migrating SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. Moving one user database at a time to SQL Server 2005.
Is there anyway I can list the DTS packages referenced by each databases.
All our DTS packages are stored in the database. Will the query to system or meta database will help?
Thank you,

I move SQL databases quite often from one server to another. What is the most efficient way to do this? I normally perform a log dump then a
database dump and then copy the backup DAT file over to the new server and then perform a restore. This is OK except that the User accounts
permissions usually get messed up in the process and I have to redo them. It's OK for a few user accounts but some databases I work with have
many user accounts. The version of MS SQL I use is 6.5 (sp4). Thanks in advance. JLS

I recently was given control of an SQL server that stop working.
We had no past backups of the database and the only file we had was the .mdf
I decided to install a fresh version of SQL 2000 on another server and created a database using enterprise manager with the same name as my database called SWATraining
I then stop the sql server
the first thing that I notice is that the .mdf that enterprise manager created had _DATA at the end of the name. Thus I renamed the the orginal .mdf SWATraining_Data and
copied it to the
C:program filesmicrosoft sql servermssqldata
when I started SQL the database was greyed out and had (suspect)labeled
How can I recover the database when the only file I have is the .mdf file??
I even tried
sp_attach_single_file_db @dbname = 'SWATraining',
@physname = 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataSWATraining.mdf'
but reason this error
Server: Msg 5172, Level 16, State 15, Line 1
The header for file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataSWATraining.mdf' is not a valid database file header. The FILE SIZE property is incorrect.

Hello:
I'm working with two sql servers instances, ServerA and ServerB, which run under two different service accounts on different machines. They both have a database, DatabaseA, that has some encrypted fields.
If I take a backup of DatabaseA on ServerA and restore it on ServerB, I need to re-encrypt the Database Master Key (DMK) with the Service Master Key (SMK) as follows:
OPEN MASTER KEY DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'pwd used to encrypt DMK'
ALTER MASTER KEY ADD ENCRYPTION BY SERVICE MASTER KEY
However, if I again take a backup on ServerB and then restore it on ServerA, I can use the DMK on ServerA without re-encrypting it with the SMK.
Shouldn't I have to re-encrypt the DMK with the SMK everytime I restore from a backup that was generated from a different server?
Thanks,
Cyndi

I have a web app that has been regulated to a disconnected PC. It's runing IIS and 2.0 with sql server express, but no connectivity. I have changes that are made to some of the data in the db (data, bot schema). There is one particular table that I cannot overwrite, and must extract the data.
What methods are available to do this swap of data between databases? I was thinking of doing something like this:
Track last date that remote db was updated. Upload updated database into data directory, loop through records for all affected tables, any date that was past logged date then update the record if it exists or insert new record, and then loop through the remote db and delete this records that dont exist in the updated db.
This seems intensive and slow - especially as the tables get bigger but I can't think of another solution that can be done by a user using sometime of web interface.

I'd like to hear the "best practices" for moving databases from one server to another with minimal impact (minimum downtime) to users. The database is about 1GB, but growing at an average rate of 5MB/day.
Only 2 databases on that source server are to be moved. There are other databases on that server that shouldn't be affected as much as possible.
Any good suggestions?
I'm sorry, but I'm a complete newbie to SQL Server although I'm very familiar with Exchange/NT stuff. Got thrown this responsibility lately :(

We are going to be moving over about 29 databases from one server to another
(space issues). The new database will then be renamed to the old server name.
The database sizes range from 100mb to 29gig.
I was planning on doing a dump/restore which will take over 3 hours to dump and
12-15 hours to restore.
Our NTAdmin suggested shutting down the SQL Servers and just copying over the
data/log files to the new box and then bringing up the new server.
Had anyone ever tried this?
What are the effects on files over 22gig?
Should I also copy over the model/msdb/master database files?
What other potential problems should I be aware of?
My fear is that I start copying them over, run into a problem half way through
and then
have to revert back to the dump/restore method.
Any help would be appreciated, we are scheduled to do the move this weekend.
Thanks again
Susan

I was hoping to get some input on the best approach for the following situation:
I have been tasked with moving several SQL server databases from one SQL server to another to free up the hardware on the first one for another purpose. The SQL server is version 6.5 and has service pack 5 on it.
I have installed SQL server on the server where the data is going to end up with the same code page and sort order as the current server.
For my next step I was going to create devices for the databases on the new server, then add the databases to the devices. I was going to use the "Create database for Load" statement. Then I was going to load a transaction dump from each database on the old server into the new database on the new server. Is there anything else I will need to do? Will I have to do anything with the master database or is it sufficient to do what I have stated above?
Can anyone direct me to a good technet article or white paper on this process? I did find a short page in SQL books on line which helped a bit.
Thanks in advance,
CK.

Hi Experts, I need an advice on this documentation. What are the things i missed. Can you please help me.1.Make a full backup of all databases from server 1 (for our safety)
2.Copy all logins , Jobs , DTS packages, folders from server 1 to server 2
3.Copy any folders or files from the server 1 to the new server 2 that will be accessed by Jobs, DTS packages, stored procedures etc.
4.Change all databases to Single user mode so no one can access the server( Downtime)
5.Detach all databases from server1 ( There will be downtime)
6.Stop the SQL Server, SQL Agent Services on server 1
7.Attach all databases to server 2 since both servers are in the same Datacenter.
8.Connect to the server 2, using Enterprise Manager and make sure all the databases are displayed and that there is no suspect databases. Scan through the SQL Server error logs, SQL Agent error logs, and System and Application event logs, to make sure there are no errors. If we find any errors, fix them before you proceed any further.
9.Once we are happy with the new server’s server 2 state, shutdown the SQL Server, SQL Agent and MS Search services.
10. Rename the alias on server 1
11.Rename the alias on server 2 so all the applications will point towards it and reboot the server.
12.Start the SQL Server, SQL Agent and MS Search services on server 2.
13. After we have completed these steps, server 2 is ready to go.
