First, sorry about my poor english.
I have a database which above 6 gb data and i have droped all table in my database.
I try to restore from log file but my database is set to simple backup and auto shrink so log file doesn't help anymore.
I have used some software to recovery from log file too but useless.
My only hope right now is mdf file.
Please help me. How could i restore my mdf file to state before i droped tables.
Thanks
The 2.0 version of ASPSTATE is slightly different than the 1.1 version in that one table has one additional column and another table uses a different data type and size for the key. The 2.0 version also has a couple additional stored procedures.
We'd like to manage just one session state database if possible so we're trying to figure out if Microsoft supports using the new schema for 1.1 session state access (it seems to work, but our testing has been very light).
Is there any official support line on this? If not, can anyone comment on whether or not you'd expect it to work and why?
Thanks.
I'm not sure if I am in the right forum to ask this question but at my old office, we had a database that was built in the early 90's and was not compatible with any of the office suite to create reports etc.
Does anyone have any idea what kind of database it might have been?
HiI implement a manual standby by backing up Transaction log files everyhourand database nightly and restoring these on a standby server.Every thing works fine but the Transaction log restore fail with errorlistedI am sure the database backup finishes before the transaction logbackupsThanksTYThe log in this backup set terminates at LSN 22927000000763100001,which is too early to apply to the database. A more recent log backupthat includes LSN 22927000000773700001 can be restored. [SQLSTATE42000] (Error 4326). The step failed.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just downloaded and installed sql server 2005 compact edition, and I'm having some issues that I'd like to get clarification on. Minor stuff, but irritating.
1. Although you can drop an sql file onto the management studio for a normal mssql connection, you can't do this with a compact edition connection. Instead you have to paste the contents. True? Or am I goofing up somehow?
2. Compact edition doesn't support varchar, but does support nvarchar. True? Or [etc]
3. I can't seem to get compact edition to run a sql script. It seems to only take one command at a time. I'm pretty sure this is a screwup on my part since the tutorials show scripts being run. Are there limitations that I don't know about?
TIA for any help.
I have seen this before. A 2000 restore fails, leaving the database thinking it is being restored but the restore job failed and errors when it is restarted. EM is clueless. I believe there is a proc to reset some flag. Can you share it with me???
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.
Hi,
I've my database, testdb, ended up in Suspect state. The SQL log shows " I/O error 38(Reached the end of the file.) detected during read at offset xxxxxxxxxx in file '<path> estdb_Data.MDF'" during recovery. I do not have backup to restore the database from. So to run DBCC CHECKDB, I tried to put the database in emergency(bypass recovery) mode using
update sysdatabases set status = 32768 where name = 'testdb'
DBCC CHECKDB showed some allocation and consistency errors and suggested "repair_allow_data_loss" as minimum repair level.
Now to run
DBCC CHECKDB('testdb', repair_allow_data_loss)
I've to put database in SINGLE USER mode. For that I started SQL server by command
sqlservr.exe -c -m
Now when I try to run DBCC CHECKDB with repair option it says "Attempt to BEGIN TRANSACTION in database 'testdb' failed because database is in BYPASS RECOVERY mode."
So it seems I need to change the status of database such that it will allow me to repair it. If I try to reset the status, the database again goes in Suspect state and it seems DBCC commands don't run on database in Suspect state. Does anybody know how to recover the database in this state? Is there any other way to repair it?
Thanks in advance,

When performing a tail log backup to an online database through SSMS, the database is placed in restoring state. Is there a proper procedure to take the database out of restoring state after the backup is completed?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am contemplating storing session state data in a SQL server database (created by running the installSqlState.sql script included in the .NET framework installation) and have established a functioning connection to the database but I am constantly getting "access denied". I've found that tweeking the permission settings in SQL for the ASP.NET user is resolving each specific error that arises but was wondering if there is a more "global" resolution? I'm finding myself having to manually check off each individual object and every option or is this what is needed to resolve the "access denied" error?
Thank you.
While attempting to query a Full-Text enabled database where a catalog exists for the database, I receive the following error: "Full-text catalog %database% is in an unusable state. Drop and re-create this full-text catalog." I have dropped and re-created the full-text catalog numerous times with no luck. I have also stopped and restarted the SQL Server service and Full-Text service engines mulitple times with no luck. Other items to note are, we're running SQL 2005 64 bit Enterprise Edition SP1 on a Windows 2003 server. We have an identical setup in development and full-text indexing works without any hitches. I have also checked both the SQL server permissions and the local file-system permissions and they also seem to be more then adequate; in addition, they match the security configurations of our development environment. Lastly, the production database is a restore of the development database.
In short, I'm hoping that someone may have a potential solution other then reinstalling SQL Server...which may end up being the only solution.
Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated!
Hello, I am trying to mirror two databases and i receive the following error to the principal error log. "Error: 1443, Severity: 16, State: 2 ".
I HAVE:
1) SQL server 2005 enterprise SP2
2)ServerA And ServerB in the domain.
3)I have installed both ServerA and ServerB sql server with network system account and the services run both as NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SECURITY.
4) The principal database "Test" is on ServerA, i create a full backup and log backup and restore to ServerB the Full backup and the Log with NORECOVERY.So the database "Test" in ServerB is Restoring......
5)I Have created to both Servers Endpoint to Port 5022 with AUTHORIZATION=NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SECURITY.
6)The endpoint are both operational (I have tested through telnet command)....
7)I have added NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SECURITY user to both Security>logins and i gave full permittions sysadmin to the user.
8)I am executing the query "Alter database [TEST] set partner= N'TCP://xx.xx.xx.xx:5022'";
successfully from ServerB (Mirror) but from ServerA i receive that error!!!!
I believe it's network account security issue, but i cannot find a solution for that..... (I also tried to add DCServerA$ user to logins on ServerB AND DCServerB$ user to logins on ServerA cause previously i recaieved an login security error!!!)

Trying to keep out sysadmins & sa during/between database RESTORE
Configuration:
WINNT Server Enterprise 4.0 w/SP5
SQL Server 7 Enterprise & SP1
2 SQL Servers:
Production Server
Standby server
I Backup (full backup) databases to disk on primary server (logical backup devices are physicaly located on a Standby server (dedicated gigabit NIC in each server for this process). Transaction logs are applied to the Standby server throughout the day.
Problem:
How to keep out "sa" and sysadmins from a database while I'm restoring (or between restores) to a standby server?
The database being restored cannot be in use during a restore.
If a DBA forgets that this process is happening, the statement fails (RESTORE)for the database they happen to be in at the time of the restore.
Example restore statement:
Standby Server -
RESTORE DATABASE databasename FROM database_dd WITH DBO_ONLY, REPLACE, STANDBY = 'g:Mssql7FromPrimaryDatabaseName_undo.ldf'
I could restrict Domain sysadmin access and change sa password. I could also put the database in "Single user" mode, however this could become problem if my process disconnects and then someone else connects - then my process is locked out. What I'm really looking for is to lock out all activity for a database that is in "standby mode" except for RESTORE processes.
Any ideas??

I wonder how do I shrink log file in a specific database which in Mirror/Synchronized/Restoring state..So that database is in Mirror server ( High availability ).
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have mirroring setup for 5 dbs, 4 of which are synchronized and 1 which is in "synchronizing" state on the principal and "restoring" state on the mirror. Mirroring for all dbs has been working fine for the past several months and we have a witness that has allowed automatic failover in the past without problems.
This database has several bulk inserts performed throughout the day and am sure there is some latency due to the size of these transactions.
Not sure as to why this is happening all of a sudden, but the db in question has been in this state for the past 12 hrs. I checked the mirroring status on the principal and it states that it is "synchronizing: data is being transferred from principal to mirror", but the mirror server states that db is in "restoring" state. Can anyone suggest as to how I can get the database on the mirroring server to get back to "mirror, synchronizing/restoring..." state? Or suggest on how I can troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance.
I'm taking a database(read-only) backup from one server and restoring it on other server. As soon as restore is done it is bringing database into single-user read-only mode.
why it is bringing the database into single user mode ?
Anybody figure a way around this:
In a development server you take a backup and you want to move the entire database to a production server. The production server does not contain the database, users, or logins in master.
When you restore the backup to production in 7.0, the users get moved to DBO because the logins do not exist and then you cannot delete them.
We are having to drop the users from the database on development, back up the database and restore it to production, then recreate the users on production.
This is bogus and did not happen in 6.5 because of the aliases.
Anybody come up with a better way?
I am fairly new to VS 2005 and SQL Server CE. I have developed a Desktop Windows application using VB 2005 and the SQL Compact Edition Database. This application will sell to users via web download.
When they download a service patch, or updated version, I wish for them to retain the data in their present database. In other words, fill the new database with the old data. The new table structures will remain intact except for added columns at the end.
Question is how to save the old data and update the new database with it. Is there an easy way to do this, or do I need to write a module to save a database copy, and update the new database with content at install time?
I have a problem when i restore my .DAT_BAK file. I am getting error like "The backup set holds a backup of a database other than existing database. Restore Database is terminating abnormally".
I tried by using
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME>
FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH MOVE 'VZAI_DATA' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.MDF',
MOVE 'VZAI_LOG' TO D:PROGRAM FILES..MSSQLTEST.LDF',
REPLACE
And also i tried like
RESTORE DATABASE <DATABASENAME>
FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'
WITH REPLACE
When i use like this,
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = 'D:DATAMYTEST.DAT_BAK'. I am able to get the output as LogicalName, PhysicalName, Type, FileGroupName, Size, etc.
Can i anyone please help me out?
Thanks in Advance,

Sometime during the night last night some user account permissions were "lost". Am I right to think that restoring the master database would be the way to go? We have a 2 node 2012 cluster and I stop the cluster resource and start the db in single user mode from the active node. Somehow the sharepoint farm is still trying to connect so I can't get logged in single user. What method could I use to stop users from connecting when I don't have access to the sharepoint farm.
View 8 Replies View Relatedi have a development database that has updates and changes to a production database. rather than go through individually and alter all relevant tables and stored procedures, id like to back up the database on the development side and restore it on the production side as the production database. is there a way to restore the database on the production server but preserve all the security settings (ie logins and such)? i noticed on our development server, that if i try to restore the database with my development database, it overwrites the users and/or if the user is the same on both, it removes the login name for that user.

I have a client that has POS software called Restaurant Pro Express (RPE) from [URL] ...
Their old POS computer had a hardware failure, but I was able to attach the hard-drive to another computer and recover the data. RPE uses a MSSQL database system. However, my client doesn't seem to make backups very often
- the last one is dated January 5, 2015. I was able to copy the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server folder over which contained the instance as well as all the data files - and has up-to-date information. The instance in the recovered Microsoft SQL Server folder was called MSSQL.1. I installed the RPE software on their new computer, and it too now has an instance called MSSQL10_50.PCAMERICA. The new computer is using MSSQL 2008 R2, while I believe the old computer would have been using MSSQL 2005.
I am no DBA expert, especially when it comes to MSSQL. Is is possible to 'restore' the database from the 'raw' .mdf and .ldf files of the old computer to the new computer / database instance? If so, how should I proceed?
We have an issue with a 3 node SQL 2012 Always on availability group. Normal operation is node 1 (primary replica) with node 2 and node 3 as secondary replicas.After some patching, SQL wasn't running on node 1 hence the AG flipped over to node 2. This went unnoticed for some time and the transaction log for one of the AG databases became full on node 2 and node 3. (I think this is because it couldn't commit the transactions on node 1 so couldn't truncate it's t-log?) The DB is using synchronous replication btw.So I started SQL on node 1 and flipped the AG back to node 1 (with a data loss warning but I accepted this).Now the issue is that on node 2 and 3, the DB in question is stuck in a "Reverting / In Recovery" State. I've tried various commands such as ALTER DATABASE SET ONLINE, RESTORE DATABASE WITH RECOVERY etc but these fail stating unable to obtain a lock on the DB.
The weird thing is that on node 1 the state of the DB is "synchronised".how to resolve this issue on node 2 and 3? I've left them overnight (in case they were rolling back transactions, the DB is fairly large) but nothing seems to have happened. remove the DB from the AG in node 2 and 3 and add it back in again, ie recreate the replication?
I had a major disk failure, and the only SQL Server files I was able to recover were master.dat, msdb.dat,msdblog.dat, two text files and two database devices. My question, is it possible in SQL 6.5 to restore a database from just the database device, and if so, how? Thank you.

I'm a newbie so please be gentle.In attempting to run a restore I get the following error message:"Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is inuse." However, it doesn't appear that there are any connections to thedatabase. At the suggestion of another thread, I ran sp_who2 and thereare no connections to the database in question. I've been running thesame restore for months and all has been well, until yesterday....I wrote an .asp page (below) to test connectivity to this database.The vb code ran successfully and soon thereafter, my nightly restorefailed. Task manager does no show that the asp page is active.Lastly, I did add a user ("jbtest") as well as change the option to useeither Windows authentication or SQL Server authentication inEnterprise Manager.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.<%@ Language=VBScript %><%companyName = "agemni"Set cnn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")cnn.ConnectionString = "DRIVER=SQLServer;SERVER=SHEELA-NA-GIG;UID=jbtest;PWD=test1;APP=MicrosoftDevelopment Environment;WSID=SHEELA-NA-GIG;DATABASE=" & companyName &";Trusted_Connection=No"cnn.ConnectionTimeout = 300cnn.CommandTimeout = 300cnn.OpenSet RS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")strSQL = "SELECT * FROM Preferences"RS.Open strSQL, cnnResponse.Write "connection established with the <b>" & RS("CompanyName") & "</b> database.
