I think jthis is a bug. I have a table created and populated on its own filegroup. I backup the db(all filegroups) and the trans log then I drop the one table. When I try to restore from my backups, it insists that I back up the trans log again. I do, then do the restore of both the filegroup and the trans log. The restore finishes, but my table is still not there and I can never get it back.
I am trying to restore from a backup of an individual filegroup in SQL Server 7.0. I have backed up the individual filegroups, and I want to restore one of them (not the whole database). The process in EM is almost the same as restoring the entire database, only you choose the radio button 'Filegroups' and the files/filegroups you want to restore.
The restoration appears to complete sucessfully, but afterward, my database seems to be permanently loading. In other words, in EM the database is greyed out and you cannot use it anymore. It stays like this until you drop the database altogether. Is this a bug? Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone have experience restoring from filegroups sucessfully???
To restore files and filegroups in a different server. First, Do i have to create the database with same name as the old one? or it doesn't matter... Can we use Enterprise Manager to do this restore?
Hi, I want to take the backup of a particular filegroup in SQL server 2000 and then restore the same filegroup backup. Currently I am using the following steps : 1. Creating the database with 2 filegroups. The syntax that I used for it is as follows : create database test on primary (name = test1, filename = 'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData est1.mdf'), (name = test2, filename = 'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData est2.ndf'), filegroup group2 (name = test3, filename = 'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData est3.ndf'), (name = test4, filename = 'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData est4.ndf') log on (name = test_log, filename = 'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData est_log.ldf')
2. Now I am creating two tables table1 and table2 using Enterprise Manager. Both the Tables, table1 and table2 are on the "Group2" Filegroup of test database.
3. After creating the tables, I inserted three records in each table.
4. Then I performed the backup using the following commands: backup log test to disk = 'e: est.lg1' with init
backup database test filegroup = 'group2' to disk = 'e: est_group2.bak'
5. After the backup has been taken, I deleted the two records from both the tables. Now both my tables have one record each.
6. Now I tried restoring the database using following command :
backup log test to disk = 'e: est.lg3' with init
restore database test filegroup = 'group2' from disk = 'e: est_group2.bak' with norecovery
restore log test from disk = 'e: est.lg3' with norecovery
restore database test with recovery
7. After all these commands are executed, when i checked my database, it contains again the one record in each table. Ideally, according to me the tables should contain 3 records as i had taken the backup when each table had 3 records.
How can I bring the database back to the state in which I had taken the backup.
Pls. help me as soon as possible.
And also let me know, if I need to do any SQL level or Database level settings for the above task.
Waiting for your reply. and thanking you in advance.
Hi, I have a database with about 200Gigs allocated to filegroups and 200Megs data in it presently, and am trying to create a copy of the database on the same server - except I don't have enough diskspace free for another 200Gigs. Is there a way using copy database wizard, or restore that the filegroup allocations can be resized?
I hope this is the right forum, if not sorry about that. On Friday I will be doing support with another orgnaization on a SQL 2000 cluster system. The database will be backed up , another team will do the major application upgrade, and I will be restoring the database back. From the SCN, there will be no database changes. I have been searchng for information on databse backups / filegroups.
My questions are:
1. The database has 3 filegroups, besides the primary. If I do a complete backup, will it also do the filegroups?
2. If not, how do I backup the filegroups?
3. Whne I resote the databse, how do I bring in the filegroups from the backup?
Any info or pointers to links is greatly appreciated. Have a good day.
What is the best method to restore a DBTest1 (with one .mdf and one .ldf) into DBTest2 (with one .mdf, multiple .ndf data files and with 4 filegroups associated with specific data files). I do not see how the one .mdf file (in DBTest1) can be separated into the other 4 filegroups (in DBTest2). This does not sounds like it is possible with Backup DBTest1/Restore to DBTEST2 or (Detach/Attach) because the underlying filegroup and file structure is different.
What method should be used to get the data and structure from DBTest1 (includes 1100 Tables and 550 GBs of Data) into DBTest2 (with 4 filegroups)? Is the following possible:
1) First, in DBTest2, execute a script to create tables/indexes on appropriate filegroups.
2) In DBTest2, use scripts to pull data from DBTest1 into DBTest2, for example INSERT INTO DBTest2.dbo.tables with SELECT FROM DBTest1.dbo.tables OR use SELECT/INTO DBTest2.dbo.tables FROM DBTest1.dbo.tables.
Or, is it possible to use the BULK INSERT or BULK COPY Options? Export/Import Wizard?
Does the Create Index step needs to be done after the data is loaded into DBTest2?
Extremely thanks for the reply . I am using transactional replication for the database . I will try with snapshot replication as you suggested .
You mentioned that it will work with Transactional replication only if the application uses the option ' with log ' for those transactions .
Can you let me know where can i set this option for transaction replication ? I am sorry but i am not well versed with database replication procedures and management .
in sql server 2000 ,in query analyzer :for example i have a emp table ,when i execute a query ,i have to get the emp table column names with its data types...for example :empno ---intempname -- varchar like this...what is the query to get the output like this
I am not using the SA account when I log in using windows authentication it seems to pick up my domain and active directory ID which is "usapp1dxd" it appears greyed out as well as the password on the login screen so you can't change it.
If you go into the management studio and right click on the server name in the left hand pane go to properties security the radio button for sql server and Windows authentication mode is selected.
For the begining thank for your reply. I started with a new job and I was hopeless when all normaly claimed things can't be done. I asked a lot of peoples who works on MSSQL(including SWYNK) for my problems(I know that I'm beginer on MSSQL) but they didn't knows any solution. And afterall I wrote that. For your ilustration, we develope information system for Invest company. Back is on MSSQL and client is in ASP.

--No named cursors I mean that in general is using curosr names bootless. And you must deal with names... In interbase: DECLARE var1,2 INTEGER; FOR SELECT column,column2 FROM TABLE WHERE ... INTO :var1,:var2 BEGIN some code in loop; END

-"cursor threshold" resolves it only in single select's and procedures with only one select's -It's unacceptable when your your user runs large queries

-Books are very feeble:( -but I thing that it can't work with EXCEPTION blocs. Good Exception handling is important tool for fast developing of robust apps

For a query like below ... How do i have to select only the latest revisions, if i need to filter last current revisions of each document ... where the revision could be either alphabetical or even numerical ...
Presently I get all revisions with the below query ... Note: csd_revi is the field of CSD table for revisions.
I've gotten everything to work -- almost! Here's the scoop... I'm using SQL Server 7.0 and ColdFusion (you don't need to know anything about ColdFusion). I'm trying to get SQL Server to publish/share/etc. a database with the network so ColdFusion (our website management/creation program) can access it and use it in a webpage. Well, so far, ColdFusion can detect and access the database (called "iami"), but it cannot find any tables in the database (particularily one called "phase1"). Can anyone help me -- the sooner the better -- ???
If you reply before 4pm today and offer truly helpful advice/input, I'll send you a reward/incentive from me personally (just give me your mailing address) just for helping out!!! :-)
Can anyone help me with handy scripts/stored procedures to capture blocking info on the server? We have SQL 7.0 w/sp3. Ray replied earlier saying that I can use so_who2!!, I think everyone knows that,please reply with some valuable info!!Please.. Thanks. Sonali.
What should I have done? Is there anything that can be done other than restoring from backup? How does one know if the database is really recovering or is EM just joken? I can wait 2 hours before starting the restore
I was BCPing 12 million rows into a staging table. II used the '-b' option every 20K which I thought would do a commit and clear the log in batches. After the process EM appeared to show the transaction log as empty. Upon inspecting the Bcp output file I discovered the message that the BCP did not complete because syslogs was full. I could not do a truncate transaction log or a dump database. I tried to do a truncate transaction with no_log and it appeared to just hang. I stopped the SQL Server thinking I could dump the transaction log, but could not start the Sql Server again. I then stopped the NT Server because 'if all else fails'. The SQL Server started but the user database if marked as recovering.
Hi everyone I want to know if it's possible to do a for/while-loop so i can use INSERT
Look: I've this int [] test = new test[140]; But i need to insert for every value (140) a number so normally it would be : INSERT ... (case1, case2, case3 ...) value (test[1],test[2],test[3] ...) But isn't there a way to it with a loop? SOmething Like this ?
for( int i = 0 , i< 140, i++) { INSERT case[i] value test[i] }

I'm trying to import data into an SQL Server (7.0) and I'm wondering which Source (Microsoft Data Link, Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle, Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server, etc.) -- I THINK we would use the SQL Server driver but I'm not sure... to use AND WHERE TO GO FROM THERE? So far, I get seem to get things to work in my favor. I appreciate any help :) The data I'm trying to import is from Microsoft Excell. If there is anything else you need to know, please email me at iami@iami.org Please provide email/forum-based technical support.
I have a rather odd problem that hopefully you'll be able to shed some light on (nobody else has come up with anythig sensible).
We want to back up the databases to a hard drive held on another server so I mapped the drive in explorer to the drive then went into Enterprise manager and tried to create a backup device and it won't see the mapped drive.
I've tried mapping to my PC and I can see that via enterprise managers backup stuff (infact any PC in the office works) but it won't see any of the servers even though we can map to them and access them via windows explorer.
I've tried when logged on via sa and the windows NT administrator and still no luck. In fact no matter what I type or do it fails and keeps telling me device error or device off line which it isn't.
On our test instance of SQL Sever we can backup to other servers but not the new live version!
I got my sample application to work that I am building my proof of concept out of. I need to be able to auto generate a reply message that would normally be in the run routine. The only way I see to do this is pull it from a table but I do not want to do that. I have tried tests where I change the code to see if I can send a message back but I have to reinstall the assembly into the database which is not what I am looking for. I am looking for a way to change the message by either accessing the GUI and getting the string, calling another function to do this, or something like that. I want it so I can change the code in the run routine in VS 2005 but this does not work. I am sure their is a trick to do this but am not sure what that trick is. What is a good way to do this other than accessing a table in the database?
I was told to move tables to new filegroups by placing the clustered index on the filegroup and the table would follow. There are times when I see tables listed on the new filegroup but still listed also on Primary. My goal is to have only system tables on Primary. How can I get a table to totally leave the PRIMARY group?
There seems to be a system index on the table that was not created by me.
I have databse that was created when I got here and the database was created with 3 file groups. The tables in the database are spread out over the 3 file groups.
How can I find out which table belongs to which file group.
