hi,
My requirement is as follows:
1. I Dump my Database into a dump device
2. I Rebuild my mater Database
3. I Restore my User Database.
4. At the end of the above exercise I find my relationship between sysusers (User Database) and syslogins (master) is totally screwed up. This has been causing logon problems to my User Database…
5. I tried using sp_change_users_login …but it does not seem to work.
Thanking you in advance for your help rendered

Hallo
I have a bit of a problem I haven't come across before. I was testing some restore code using smo, when the restore process got corrupted. Now I cannot log into that database file. Whenever I try and connect to it, I get a login error. Connections to this database file previoulsy worked very well.
I do not get login errors for databases with different names, or when using the same database file on another computer. There must be some data stored somewhere that is causing this. I have removed the database file and reloaded it, but to no avail. Any insight into this would be appreciated
If I have a database backup from sunday, and a failure occurs monday... Can the backup .mdf and .ldf files be attached, and the backup log after the point of failure be applied to them?
The problem I am having is it looks like you can only restore from a .bak file, and then apply the log at the point of failure. IT doesn't look like you can restore the .ldf/.mdf files, and then apply the backup log from the point of failure.
Can someone please help? I'm in desparate need of fixing this !
Thanks,dp
I'm trying to figure out why this SQL Agent job keeps failing.
We used management studio, and connected as mydomainmyuser, and developed a script to take a backup file from a network share and restore it. It worked fine in SSMS under that login.
After we got it working , we created a SQL Agent job on the same server to run the script, and set the agent job to run under that account that we tested with.
This is the error message we got:
"Executed as user: mydomainmyuser. Create Database permission denied in database master'.
So, I gave that login the rights to Create Database and Create Any Database. Then the error message changed to:
"Executed as user: mydomainmyuser. User does not have permission to RESTORE database 'mydatabase'. [SQLSTATE 42000][ERROR 3013] RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3013). The step failed. "
* I can't use SA for the job account, because the SA account doesn't have rights to see the network folder where the backup file sits, so it has to run under the domain account.
* The user is a member of the dbcreator role - and the serveradmin and sysadmin roles
* The user is a member of dbowner on the database I am trying to overwrite with the restore
* I have given the user the rights CREATE DATABASE and CREATE ANY DATABASE
The only suspicious thing I found was that it appears the server was renamed at one time. When I looked at the login in management studio, I was not able to change some of the rights. On the Securables page, it shows the server name as "MyServer-New", but the server name is "MyServer". It is a replacement, and I suspect that when they did the replacement they named it "MyServer-New", set everything up, then renamed it.
I found this post listed below, and ran the script (shown below), and it showed that the server name was MyServer and the ServerInstanceName is MyServer-New
[URL] .....
SELECT HOST_NAME() AS 'host_name()',
@@servername AS 'ServerNameInstanceName',
SERVERPROPERTY('servername') AS 'ServerName',
SERVERPROPERTY('machinename') AS 'Windows_Name',
SERVERPROPERTY('ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS') AS 'NetBIOS_Name',
SERVERPROPERTY('instanceName') AS 'InstanceName',
SERVERPROPERTY('IsClustered') AS 'IsClustered'
I can't reset SQL until the next maintenance window to test changing the server name as outlined in the post.
Am I on the right track with the name change messing up permissions, or is there something else I need to check?
We have received a backup of a database from an external company for a project that we are taking over. We have attempted to restore the database and it fails giving us the error: "Internal consistency error occurred."
We have run the restore verifyonly command with the results: "The backup set is valid." However, I don't have confidence that the verify is telling the complete story.
It appears that the database is restored and the overall restore is failing on the transaction log file.
Any help is appreciated. This is rather urgent.

I am looking for a SQL Backup/Restore tools which can restore multiple environments. Here is high level requirements.

2. I am looking for the speed to complete restoring between 1 - 2 hours for 4 DBs.
I am evaluating the Dephix Software but the setup is very complex and its given us a lot of issues with Windows Authentions, and failure in the middle of the backup. I used Guess Software many years ago but can't find it on the web site any more.

Hello,
Would some one please help me with the syntex on how to run "restore filelistonly" or restore verifyonly" on a SQL backup which has multiple filesets?? My backups locations are as follow:
RESTORE VERIFYONLY
From disk = 'E:syndicated_databank__bkup_01.bak',
'E:syndicated_databank__bkup_02.bak',
€˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_03.bak€™,
€˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_04.bak€™, €˜E:syndicated_databank__bkup_05.bak€™
I tried to do a restore with the above, I got error The label 'E' has already been declared. Label names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure.
Please advise!!
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!
I need to restore test DB from production backup but once it is restored I would need all the permissions of sql logins and windows AD account intact in test Db as it was before.

Whats happens when moving a sql server database to another sql server database and the DTS fails. Does it copy half the data or it doesn't copy any data????
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello Everybody
We created DTS package and scheduled it as a job.
When we run the DTS package, it works, but job doesn't.
We don't get any meaningful errors. We know that DTS runs on workstation where you sit, and job always runs on the server.
The main question is what we might be missing, and the second question is which server does the job run on - destination or source?
We use SQL Server 7 / Win 2000 Server on both servers.
DTSRun: Loading... DTSRun: Executing... DTSRun OnStart: DTSStep_DTSTransferObjectsTask_1 DTSRun OnError: DTSStep_DTSTransferObjectsTask_1, Error = -2147220413 (80040443) Error string: Error source: Help file: Help context: 0 Error Detail Records: DTSRun OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSTransferObjectsTask_1 DTSRun: Package execution complete.

Does anyone have some suggestions as to why my scheduled recurring DTS packages keep failing to run?
I can manually execute the package and it works just fine but I don't know why the schedule job fails and there is not enough information in the error log to help me figure out what I have missed.
The DTS is copies a CSV file from a different server into an existing table in my Database. The DTS has the following steps
Truncate the table,
Copy and import the text file into the table and
Finally send me an email if it completes the task.
I have the package and the SQL Agent Service accounts set to my NT Account, which has admin rights

Dear AllA quick question:I run a set of scheduled jobs. The jobs run Stored Procedures.However, if the sproc fails, the job quits and moves on to the nextone. However, the sproc should carry on. E.g, IF find bad records,EXPORT to file, GO TO NEXT RECORD (BUT DON'T QUIT THE SPROC). The jobscheduler does not allow this, therefore, the sproc does not get achance to finish.Is there a way to ensure a sproc can finish before moving on to thenext step?ThanksSimon

Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I have set up a new installation of SQL Server 2005 and VS 2005. I am trying to get some web applications up and working, but am experiencing problems with the database connection. I am tring to use the the sa account to connect, but am receiving the error "Login for user 'sa' failed. Not associated with at trusted account...". I am familiar with this error and have made sure that the SQL Server is using SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode. The connection string I am passing to it is:
server=(local);uid=sa;pwd=password;database=Northwind
which I believe is correct. So I'm confused as to what the problem is. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
why I am getting (Instance failure.) when trying to connect to sql server from the web.config connectionstring..

Can it be something to do with SQL Server 7 and 2000 tools as 2000 Client tools have recently been installed onto my PC and the package and job ran fine when I had designed everything in SQL Server 7.

Hi
I am running sql server 7, since friday my users are not unable to access their database on the server. NT group authentication is the mode of accessing the data on the server, the temporary soluton I have found so far is to create individual login. Which means creating login for every user on the network. NT4 Group membership that has always worked no longer functions.
Please help.
