i have been doing tests and i cannot manage to do this. here is what i have done and am trying to do:
I created a full backup of the adventureworks database
I made some updates to tables.
I created a differential backup.
I done an update update to another table, dropped a table, and done another update.
Lets say in a production envrionment i just realised the table was dropped and i wanted to go to the transaction just before the table was dropped. is this possible, or are all transactions in the log going to be lost? All i have found remotely related to this are marked transactions, but they are not what i am looking for. i want a list of transactions in the log and be able to select one as the backup point ( via SSMS or TSQL). i am not looking for a point in time restore.
I have Full database backup upto previous day and transaction logfile of Today transaction. my database has crashed. I have restored previous day's Full backup. I have faced difficulty to restore today's transaction from today's transaction log. What are the steps to restore full database back and one day's transaction log file. Note: there is no differential database backup and transaction backup.
Scenerio: Its 3pm and a user comes to me and says, she's deleted an invoice with many associated items. I know the affected tables (foreign keys) and I have last nights backup of the db. However I don't want restore the entire db back from last night just the deleted invoice record/s. What is the best practice procedure for accomplishing this?
In SQL 2008, there is a way to backup a database, but specify the tables backed up, and, during the restore on the destination server, restore only those tables in the database?
Is there any way I can resore a specified set of deleted rows from a table? Most of these rows were created during the course of the day, but at the end a user deleted them accidentally. My latest full backup is from last night, but if I restore it, it will overwrite many other tables that already have correct informaiton entered during the day. Is there any to roll back only the transaction with which the rows were deleted?

I have an SQL .bak file and I would only like to restore specific columns as one of the columns is a free text field and is substantially increasing the size of the file. I can't restore it due to disk space constraints so dropping the column isn't possible if I can't get the table into a database locally.
hi..i need help on how to create user logs with a specific transaction he made. for example, he added new item in the database, the grid wud contain user id, date, time and transaction. help po.. tnx!
I have a db which was never backed up!!! Yesterday a script was run on this database which deleted my existing tables and created new ones...pretty dumb i know...just one of those days when everything goes wrong...all i have is the transaction log(which had a truncate log on checkpoint enabled..).. is there some way in which i can recover those tables again??? i tried to run dbcc log (dbname,4) which showed me the transaction log with lots of rows but i could not read it ...can anywone help me to understand that transaction log???
How do I restore from a transaction Log? I use 2 separate database devices for my database (Data & Log) If data is corrupted at 3PM, can I just go and do a
LOAD TRANSACTION DatabaseName from the LogDeviceName StopAt 2:59
When I try to run that, it doesn't work. There is no option in the REstore Interface to specify to restore from only the transaction log. Do I need to DUMP the transaction log several times a day in order to do the restore?
Thanks!

Do you backup transaction log periodically? If not, sorry for that.

I need help ASAP!
For some reason, we lost a dozen of our tables with valuable data. could be a virus or something that cleared out our data.
The last backup we have is last night at 11PM. If we recover from that backup, all the users lose all of today's work!
Is there a way I can just roll back the transactions from today?????!
We accidentally overwrite some data in our DB. Bad news is we never back-up our DB. However, the system are set in full-recovery mode. From website and book, i found that it's possible to recover back the data using "Recovery DB to a Point Time" but when we try it, we found that it cannot work without any backup data.
Hi all, I had been made full backup, differential backup, transaction log backup. I want to create new database from these file backup. I did it follow: 1. Create new database from full backup file, it is ok. then 2. restore this database use transaction log backup file, an message raise : "The proceding restore operation did not specify WITH NORECOVERY or WITH STANBY. Restart the restore sequence, specfying WITH NORECOVERY or WITH SATNBY for all but the final step... " thank for reading.
Hi All, I am facing one problem. My Testing Server is down. I have taken full backup 1 hr backup. After that i have taken additional 5 TL backups. All the backups were moved to different server. Now DB Server is corrupted. Now i have to rebuild the Database Server from the available Backup and TLog Backup. But i have reliased that all the Transaction Log backup are having no naming convention in File name.
I am wondering after restoring full backup, which tlog backup i should use for next restore.
using the following syntax in SQL 2005 (win 2003) to restore a log to a marked transaction. Code runs ok but I'm never getting back to the point in time where id 13 still exists , help !
kind regards
Simon

Actually instead of creating initial snapshot ,I thought of doing Transaction Replication in 2005 with backup/Restore. Everthing worked fine for DML changes which is being replicated to subscriber. But my question is:
1)In 2005, DDL changes also replicate by default, Why i am not getting that feature while doing tran rep with backup/Restore?
Hi,Currently, I am on SQL2000 SP3 and Windows 2003.I am trying to restore the full database backup and transaction logbackup on the development server. The full database restore is not aproblem, but the transaction log restore happened during the day is.Everytime when I try to compare the transaction in the database(select the last update date from one of my table as a benchmark, thenbackup the transaction log for restore) to the development db with therestored transaction log, I got none of the transaction from the logbackup.What did I do wrong? Is my concept about using the transaction logrestore wrong?Thanks in advance.
We have a database on sqlserver 2005 on a schedule for transaction log backups is in place already which is happening at interval of 30mins.All these transaction logs are appended to file called 'BKP' on E drive of our server. Now i have to configure logshipping for this database.Normally logshipping process will backup the transaction log,stores it in a shared folder on primary server and then copies the backupfile to another folder on secondary server and then restored ..plz correct me till now if im wrong.Now let us say our normal trans log backup schedule is as follows T1 at 9.30am T2 at 10.00am T3 at 10.30am T4 at 11.00 am Now i decided to schedule the log shipping transaction log backup interval once in 30mins and start transaction log backup at following intervals T11 AT 9.45am T22 AT 10.15AM T33 at 10.45AM T44 AT 11.15AM So T11,T22 etc these backups are restored on standby server sequentially.
Now if Primary database goes down at 11.25am , then do i have to restore the Tlogs T1,T2,T3,T4 and make the Primary database up or i should restore T1,T11,T2,T22,T3,T33,T4,T44 for making my primary database UP..
hi, I would like to know the correct reaction for a crash in both senarios. First senario, I made a full back up at 6 am , then scheduled sql server to make transaction log back up every 2 hours (8,10,12,2 pm,4,6,8) . If I have a crash at 12:30. How would I resotre the data in the first senario....Can I restore the full back up done at 6 am then restore the last transaction log backup ( which is 12 Noon ) . I am not sure If I need to resotre the whole tran from 6 am till the time it was crashed.
Second senario,
I made a full back up at 6 am, then scheduled sql server to make Incremental backup every 2 hours (8,10,12,2 pm,4,6,8) . If I have a crash at 3:00 pm. How would I resotre the data in the second senario. ....Do I restore the full backup at 6 am then restore each incremental backup backwords ( 2,12,10,8)
AS you can see, I am not sure how to deal with this issue, I do appreciate your feedback.
We have an order posting stored procedure that's been executing for 14 hours now. This procedure has simple update statements but all the tables updated have triggers which update other tables with triggers and so on. This procedure hasn't commited yet. I have a full database backup from last night and transaction log backup from this morning while it was running. I want to kill this job and restore database from last backup. Only thing I am afraid of is that it will take too long to roll back which I have no estimate of time. Is there any faster way to get rid of all the uncommited transactions? Has anybody rolled back such a massive transaction? Any idea on how long it can take? Can it affect the overall server performance as this is the main production ERP server. I can see in profiler that this procedure is still running and not hung.
I am currently running MSSQL on DB1 server with 12 DBs I am running a full backup nightly at 8:00pm and coping it over to DB2. I am sending transaction logs every 15 minutes to DB2.
Is there a script or procedure for rolling in all the logs once the restore is finished. I realize the basic way to do this is here http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/howtosql/ht_7_backpc_7veh.asp But writing a script with say 22 files each for each db is fairly time consuming.
I have contemplated writing a script that takes the content of the logs directory, parses it based on db name and builds the sql statements but did not want to go through all of it if someone else has already done the leg work.
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 !
Hi guys, just wanna ask about the backup and restore database method. What's the best way for database and restore which able to view all the transaction logs after the database being restored. Currently I backup my database daily for recovery purposes. However, if I restore the backup file at another server and use SQL log application for viewing the prefer database's transaction log, it shows all the previous log had been truncated.
Therefore, I want to know is there any way that able to get the transaction logs after restore from a database backup file? Hope able to get any assistance here as soon as possible. Thank you.
Got this situation, trying to do Use SignleMode to recover my handing db, after that lost ldf (and physically too). Tried all things thru SSMS and scripts (below) that I know with no result, is there anything else I can try to recover it, I don't need log file.
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
Could not open new database 'MyLostDB'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
File activation failure. The physical file name "C:xxxMyLostDB.ldf" may be incorrect.
The log cannot be rebuilt because there were open transactions/users when the database was shutdown, no checkpoint occurred to the database, or the database was read-only. This error could occur if the transaction log file was manually deleted or lost due to a hardware or environment failure. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1813)
EXEC sp_attach_single_file_db @dbname='Commissions', @physname=N'C:SQLDataMyLostDB.mdf' GO CREATE DATABASE Commissions ON (FILENAME = N'C:SQLDataMyLostDB.mdf') FOR ATTACH_REBUILD_LOG GO
We have a "main" SQL 2014 server who imports XML files using SSIS in a datacenter. In remote sites (which are warehouses), there is an instance of SQL 2014 Express. A merge replication is setup, as every operations done on each site must be "forwared" to the main database, as some XML files are generated as output for an ERP system.
Now, the merge replication replicate all the data to the server on each sites. But a specific site don't need the data of every other sites, only the data relevant to itself (which is the warehouse code). Is there a way to replicate only the data relevant to each individual sites to the subscribers? Or is there a better way than replication to accomplish this?
I want to ship 500,000 aged transactions each night to an archive table and delete them from their source table in one or more logical units of work (LUW). Each row is approx 60 bytes and there is only one non clustered index on the source table presently.
I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons of 3 alternatives. One of them would basically insert the non-aged rows into tempdb, ship the aged records, truncate the table and then insert the tempdb records back into their source all in the same LUW.
For this alternative, I'd at least like to turn off logging when the records get inserted into tempdb as I dont see any value in logging that part of the activity. Is this possible?
Could you guys please help me with printing reports invoked thru command line/ URL access to print automatically to specific printers and specific trays and also is it possible to set the specific printer and tray as parameters.
