Restoring System Db's On New Instance
Mar 29, 2007
Hi There
We have a database server that must be completely re-setup, the hard drives will be replaced and the OS and Sql Server 2000 EE edition re-installed from scratch, a fresh new instance.
However the client has requested that we restore the master and msdb databases of the old instance over the new one once it is installed.
Now is this ok to do ? Can i simply restore a backup of master and msdb ont he new instance and what is the correct procedure to do this ?
I am not to worried about the user DB's i will simply dettach and re-attach. But must this be done before or after restoring the old master if i can do that ?
Thanx

I need to test the restore of a backup on the same sql instance w/o affecting the db from which the backup was taken. Is it possible to create a new db and restore the backup onto it (on the same instance)? The test db will be deleted afterwards. Will this have any detrimental effects on the instance or on the original db? Any help, warnings, suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

I did a backup of a SQL2000 database (named Winstis) using the 2005 management studio. I then created a blank database on my 2005 instance (named Winstis). I then tried to do a database restore to the new 2005 database. I got an error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'Winstis' database. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
I even tried the option to Overwrite Existing database and I got a different error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData est.ldf'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Also the 2005 instance database is on C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataWinstis_Data.mdf
and the 2000 instance is on
D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataWinstis_Data.mdf
How can I accomplish getting the database from 2000 to 2005 with all tables, store procedures, and functions?

Hi, Folks. I hate to have to come back and ask about restores right after I had to ask about Back ups, but I'm in a bind and can't seem to find other resources that address this issue.
I'm using VB Express 2005 and SQL Express 2005 to develop a windows form application that uses a User Instance of a database. With help from this forum, I was able to get the backup working. Now, I can't get the restore to work. Here's the code I'm using:
Dim SqlConnection As SqlClient.SqlConnection = New SqlClient.SqlConnection(My.Settings.NCSConnectionString)
SqlConnection.Open()
Dim ServerConnection As ServerConnection = New Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection(SqlConnection)
Dim srv As Server = New Server(ServerConnection)
'Declare a BackupDeviceItem by supplying the backup device file name in the constructor, and the type of device is a file.
Dim bdi As BackupDeviceItem
bdi = New BackupDeviceItem(My.Settings.DefaultBackUpPath & "NCS_Full_Backup1.bak", DeviceType.File)
''Define a Restore object variable.
Dim rs = New Restore
'Set the NoRecovery property to true, so the transactions are not recovered.
rs.NoRecovery = True
rs.ReplaceDatabase = True
'Add the device that contains the full database backup to the Restore object.
rs.Devices.Add(bdi)
rs.NoRecovery = False
'Specify the database name.
rs.Database = SqlConnection.Database.ToString()
'Restore the full database backup with no recovery.
rs.SqlRestore(srv)
'Inform the user that the Full Database Restore is complete.
MsgBox("Full Database Restore complete.")
The error is:
- InnerException {"RESTORE cannot process database 'C:DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGSMARCOSMY DOCUMENTSVISUAL STUDIO 2005PROJECTSWORKING COPY OF NCSNCSBINDEBUGNCS.MDF' because it is in use by this session. It is recommended that the master database be used when performing this operation.
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally."} System.Exception
I think that I need to either free up something that's locking the database or I need to switch to the master table in the User Instance. I tried a number of variations in attempt to try both of these avenues without sucess.
I'd really appreciate any guidance that I might be able to get.
Thank you,
MF

Hi all. I have read and implemented the very helpful threads on backing up and restoring with user instance posted with MFriedlander. Thank you. However, during the rs.SqlRestore(srv) command I am getting the following error "Restore failed for Server '\.pipe4A1F91FF-F6FE-45 sqlquery'. "
"Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use."
I have implemented the changedatabase method as described in that thread.
SqlConnection.ChangeDatabase("master")
right before the line
rs.SqlRestore(srv)
I do not use the default instance of sql express, but I do use an instance called 'test' for my app. Should my changedatabase method also refer to my sql instance?
I am running from VS 2005 debug (F5) when it fails and cannot think of anything that would be locking it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Below is the full code of the restore.
Robert
Dim sqlconnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(My.Settings.dbTestConnectionString)
sqlconnection.Open()
MsgBox(sqlconnection.Database.ToString())
Dim ServerConnection As ServerConnection = New ServerConnection(sqlconnection)
Dim srv As Server = New Server(ServerConnection)
'Declare a BackupDeviceItem by supplying the backup device file name in the constructor, and the type of device is a file.
Dim bdi As BackupDeviceItem
bdi = New BackupDeviceItem(txtRestoreFile.Text, DeviceType.File)
''Define a Restore object variable.
Dim rs As New Restore
'Set the NoRecovery property to true, so the transactions are not recovered.
rs.NoRecovery = True
rs.ReplaceDatabase = True
'Add the device that contains the full database backup to the Restore object.
rs.Devices.Add(bdi)
'don't know why the below norecovery is changed to false
rs.NoRecovery = False
'Specify the database name.
rs.Database = sqlconnection.Database.ToString()
sqlconnection.ChangeDatabase("master")
'Restore the full database backup with no recovery.
rs.SqlRestore(srv)

moving to a new sql server box because of a problem with the SAN its connected to.
started my named instance in single user mode and restored master. sqlserve.exe -c -m -s ovops
now the instance won't start. tried starting it with the -t3608 switch.. won't start!!
Its because my drive configuration is different on the new server than it was on the old server, I cannot start the instance because it is expecting model, msdb, temdb and all of the user databases on drives that don't exist?? what can I do?????

Why do I leave my DB in Restoring State after attaching to the instance? Could not this fire a redo activity on Transaction Log?
Or, How does sql server undo all uncommitted transactions on active vlf during recovery?

I think one of my system database files is corrupted. I did an alter database... to move my Model and MSDB and now I can only start the instance with /f /t3608
I can connect to the instance but I can't do anything I get an error that one of the database files does not match it's primary file.. I don't know if it's MSDB or MODEL but I pretty much can't do anything.
I made a backup of model and msdb before I started.. how do I go about restoring them?

I have a server with 3 SQL Server named instances on it - servername, servername/TST and servername/GOLDSTD. I have several databases on the default instance (servername) but users cannot access the databases unless they are given system admin privileges to their login. This occurs using both SQL Server Logins and Windows authentication logins. If I move the database to a different named instance (servername/TST), the problem no longer exists and users can connect with dbo privileges. Any suggestions or is this typical for default instances? Thanks in advance for any help

Followed this article to move my model and msdb databes but I think I messed up. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345408.aspx
The instance will not start because it says one of the files does not match it's primary file (not sure if it's model or msdb)
I can bring the instance up in single user mode (NET START mssqlserver /f /t3608) but when I try to do a query to re-do my alter statements, it says i can't attach because only one seesion is allowed. in 2000 i used to be able to start query analyzer without starting enterprise manager..
When i try and start with a minimal config (sqlservr -c -m) it won't start. I get an error saying that one of my files does not match it's primary file (either model or msbd don't know which) any ideas????????

I did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)
Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.
Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.
Any advice on how to get this thing finished out?

I have created a windows library control that accesses a local sql database
I tried the following strings for connecting
Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=localhostSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=TimeSheet;Trusted_Connection = true"
Dim connectionString As String = "Data Source=localhostSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=TimeSheet;Integrated Security=SSPI"
I am not running the webpage in a virtual directory but in
C:Inetpubwwwrootusercontrol
and I have a simple index.html that tries to read from an sql db but throws
the error
System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.PermissionDemand()
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionFactory.PermissionDemand(DbConnection outerConnection)
at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionClosed.OpenConnection(DbConnection outerConnection,
etc etc
The action that failed was:
Demand
The type of the first permission that failed was:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission
The Zone of the assembly that failed was:
Trusted
I looked into the .net config utility but it says unrestricted and I tried adding it to the trusted internet zones in ie options security
I think that a windows form connecting to a sql database running in a webpage should be simple
to configure what am I missing?

I've two instances(Default, Named[dynamicsFINANCE]) running on SQL server 2014. However, when I try to connect to named instance say (dynamicsFINANCE) using SQL authentication from local SSMS, I get below error message:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
I assigned a static port number to the named instance [dynamicsFINANCE] 1450. I also setup the firewall rule to allow access to Port 1450.

I have a 3 node cluster on which I have installed SSAS as it's own insntance. I have created this as a named instance and can connect to it by serverinstance if I'm on the server itself. However from my desktop I get the error saying instance was not found on server name.
I have defined an alternate port and setup firewall rules and can connect via server:port but not serverinstance. Prior to making this change SSAS was running on default port of 2383 and I could connect just by servername.
I have read many articles for previous versions saying that clustered SSAS will always use 2383 and that you must connect just using servername. However and this is were it gets strange. I have a 2 node UAT cluster with SSAS setup exactly the same way I've described above and I can connect from my desktop as serverinstance.
Should I be able to connect as serverinstances for a named clustered instance in 2012 ?

Hi, I have a task in hand to migrate (upgrade) from SQL2K named instance to SQL2K5 default instance. There are many intranet applications touching current SQL2K. I would like to perform this upgrade such that I don't have to touch any application code - meaning I don't have to change the connectionstring to point to new Default instance. How can I achieve this?
So, in otherwords, here is what I want to achieve:
Current Server: SQL2K: SERVER_AINSTANCE_A (named instance)
Upgraded Server: SQL2K5: SERVERB (default instance)
If I have both default, I could achive this by setting up DNS alias after migration done so that any call for SERVER_A would point to SERVER_B. But in my case, I don't have SERVER_A, I have named instance. Is there any solution?
Regards,
Vipul

Hi,
I want to move one database from the source SQL Server 2000 instance to a new SQL 2000 instance in another machine. I have five user databases in this source SQL instance. How should be my approach to move this single database out of this ? My understanding is restoring this database in the new instance, copying all logins to the new instance and then copying the jobs, DTS packages, alerts, operators only specific to this database will do it. Please let me know if this is exactly what I should do ..
Thanks in advance..

I am trying to set up a Named Instance of SQL 2000 on the same machine that has a default instance of SQL 7.0. The setup always completes and I am able to register the Named Instance of the SQL Server with which it was installed on. However, when I try to connect the users to the database, with both windows and SQL authentication, I receive a SQL server not found error. I have tried an alias setup as well as physically specifying the port number in settup up an ODBC connection.
Has anyone ran into similar problems?
Also, has anyone been able to successfully complete the process as mentioned above?

I have a server with sql server 2005 installed as the default instance -- I have a piece of software that needs SQL2000 to be the default instance. Is there a way other than install new sql2005 named instance and move databases to rename my SQL2005 instance from <machinename> to <machinename>sql05 for example?

I work for a mid size company with the usual collection of enterprise applications. We are trying to consolidate our SQL environment consisting of around 100 databases none of which are over 100GB with the average database size around 5GB. Recently a large server was purchased as the "Big Daddy" SQL box. Obviously not all the databases will be moved to this one box but within reason a number can.
My question: What is the best way to configure the box?
1 OS & 1 Default Instance - How do we isolate loops memory leaks etc...
1 OS & Multiple instances, ie:Dedicated instance for each application. - How do you allocate CPU & memory, allow for optimum performance without putting others at risk from a rouge process?
Virtualized OS for each application with a default instance - Too much overhead impacts performance?
Future plans include offsite replication, perhaps mirroring with failover.
I'd appreciate anyone else's thoughts ideas? How have you tackled this problem in your environment?
Thanks

I installed SQL Server 2005 recently on a cluster. I didn't go for the default instance and instead I named the instance option. Now I would like to migrate everything from the named instance to the default instance, which I haven't yet installed.
Is this an easy process? What about the logins and the maintenance plans and jobs? Is there anything else I need to be aware of?

Hi
I've never had to do this, but when I downloaded the Web Workflow Approvals Starter Kit, it requested that I install the database into a User Instance of .SQLEXPRESS.
Now the problem is, I've installed it onto a default instance, so I was wondering whether you can create a named instance on top of a default instance... and if so, how would you do that?
Cheers
Chris

Ok guys, I am trying to install Sql server 2005 on Vista but I am still stuck with this warning message in the System Configuration Check during Sql server 2K5 installation :
SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility (Warning)
Messages
* SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility
* Some components of this edition of SQL Server are not supported on this operating system. For details, see 'Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2005' in Microsoft SQL Server Books Online.
Now, I know I need to install SP2 but how the hell I am going to install SP2 if Sql server 2005 doesn't install any of the components including Sql server Database services, Analysus services, Reporting integration services( only the workstation component is available for installation)?
Any work around for this issue?
P.S.: I didn't install VS.NET 2005 yet, can this solve the problem?
Thanks.
