Restore To A Specific Transaction In The Log
Apr 13, 2007
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.
Thanks all

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?

Hi!
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 all,
does anyone know of a way in which you can backup and restore objects that belong to a specific schema?
So in this example, I€™d want to only back up and be able to restore the tables that belong to schema 1, leaving Schema2 stuff alone.
--DB
----Schema1.Table1
----Schema1.Table2
----Schema2.Table1
----Schema2.Table2
Thanks in advance,
Andy.
EDIT: I forgot to add that I want to backup the tables and the data contained within.

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?????!
I'd really appreciate any help urgently

Dear All,
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.
Anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Please kindly help.. Thanks alot!!

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?
Any replication Experts?

Is my concept about using the transaction logrestore wrong?Thanks in advance.

Hi
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..

I have this database "DB1" which is in FULL recovery mode.
I run full daily backup -Monday to Saturday
DB1_Mon.bak
DB1_Tue.bak
DB1_Wed.bak
DB1_Thur.bak
DB1_Fri.bak
DB1_Sat.bak
Come Sunday - for the first time I have run transaction log backup.
DB1_Sun.trn
And now, I need to restore DB1 - but the only full backup that I have is the Monday - "DB1_Mon.bak"
Is my database complete if I restore only "DB1_Mon.bak" plus the "DB1_Sun.trn"?

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.
Best regards

Hi,
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.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Chris

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

from BOL:
"
Restoring a database clears the plan cache for the instance of SQL Server.
"
i'm seeing this behavior after log restores as well.
what's the reason the whole procedure cache is flushed?

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',

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?
