View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I'm looking to get the drive letter and path for my backups programmatically. I am monitoring my sqlserver boxes remotely and need to get this information to determine if my backups will fit on the backup drive.
I'm looking for either a sql statement or a stored procedure to accomplish this.
For example...the backup script states:
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_create_subdir N'H:MSSQLBackupmaster'
I need to know how this script gets H:MSSQLBackup
Thanks in advance.
Hi All,
I took a backup of master,model and msdb database which was on D: drive and i tried restore it on C:. Now if i try to start sql server it comes out with a erorr that model database cannot be found and it keeps looking for model in D: drive which is not there.I tried restore of model with move option but it says cannot drop model as its system database.I tried attach detach but it does not understand tempdb as temp db is also on d: and i cannot understand how to move or point it to c:
Suggestions will be greatly appreciated

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have system database and user database file are present in G,H and W drive.The process is going to be - copy data from G to S, H to T, W to U. Rename G to X, H to Y and W to Z. Rename S to G, T to H and U to W. Reboot the servers. The original G, H and W will then be X, Y and Z. The old S will be the new G, old T will be H and old U will be W. My question is that after doing this whether my SQL server will start or not
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am new to SS7. We are planning to rearrange our system databases so that the logs are on one drive
and the data files are on a different drive. I found a really good white paper on this but just want to
verify that there is not a problem with doing this. In sybase there were some restrictions on doing this.
Any info you have would be appreciated.
I know you are able to display data all uppercase or all lowercase, but how do you display it First letter capital rest lower. Like a First or Last name?

Hi
I have been trying to use openrowset with a shared drive, and even though the share has "full control" permissions granted to "everyone" and the accout that SQL runs under has been granted explicit full control permissions I am unable to open the file which itself has no security on it.
Can I not use a \ path and only use mapped drives?
Thanks
below works...
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Excel 8.0;Database=C:5People.xls', [Sheet1$])
below doesn't work...

How do i back up the data to a network drive mapped on a day to day basis.
I have a database [CarlosDB] that currently has it's .MDF on E: and I need to move the x2 .NDF data files off C: to E:data using a single T-SQL statement:
Code:
database_id file_id db_name disk_path status size read_only
----------- ----------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7 1 CarlosDB E:dataCarlosDB.mdf ONLINE 384 0
7 2 CarlosDB_log L:logsCarlosDB_log.ldf ONLINE 128 0
7 3 CarlosDB_2 C:sqlCarlosDB_2.ndf ONLINE 128 0
7 4 CarlosDB_3 C:sqlCarlosDB_3.ndf ONLINE 128 0
(4 row(s) affected)
Looking at the file configuration above, what would be the most logical way as a DBA / SQL Server 2014 Std to move the NDF files to live w/ the MDF file using:
Code:
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'copy c:sqlCarlosDB_2.ndf e:dataCarlosDB_2/ndf'...
but cleanly using a single T-SQL statement? properly formatting a single T-SQL query to use the xp_cmdshell system stored procedure.
Hi,
I am running sql server 7 with 200+GB database size. I have one table with following fields
IIINDEX
DOCTYPE
IMAGE BLOB
I need to dump all the information from this table to hard drive.
I have try with delphi ado and delphi odbc (limit 1mb), somehow when I run the program it gives me an error message E_ timeout.
How can I dump this information without using delphi.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
If you have any code that can help please email me samirp@ix.netcom.com
Thanks.

I haven't found the definitive answer on how or if this can be done without removing replication. I'm thinking ALTER DATABASE modify_file is the way to go. Anybody know if this will work or a better way to go about it?
Thanks

I am trying to move a log file from one drive to another.
What I have done is add another file to my file group. So now my log has a file on the 'e' drive and one on the 'f' drive. I now want to remove the file on the 'e' drive. I have emptied the file on the 'e' drive. When doing the command:
ALTER DATABASE Uniprodruntime
REMOVE FILE m_rk_runtime_log
I get the following error message..
Server: Msg 5020, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The primary data or log file cannot be removed from a database.
I have also gone into enterprise manager and tried to delete the file and it does nothing.
Has anyone run into this?
How do you compare SAN drive vs local drive on a 32 bit server?
Is it good idea to move my DB files to a SAN instead of local?

How do I change its location?Â

Correct location of TempDB should be: TempDB(T:) But its not there
I have a database data file almost at 2tb maxing out a windows drive. Only 16gb left. Should I just add another data file on another Windows drive for growth? Or just move current huge data file to a new GPT drive? Or do both adding another data file and moving existing to its own new GPT drive?

Being a very novice SQL Server administrator, I need to ask the experts a question.
How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:. Can someone provide me with instructions?
Thanks,

Does anyone out there use a NAS device to place there database and corresponding images on?
View 2 Replies View Relatedhi, I usually back up the database to a file within the sql server box. then use a tape backup to back up the whole directory of the sql server in the d: drive.
Is this right way to do or there is a better way ?

I know that you need to create a device in 6.5 to do backups, but in 7.0, it seems to take care of this for you. However, there is still a device folder in the Management folder of version 7.0's console tree. Why would it be better to back up to devices, rather than anywhere else on the hard drive. Is there any way to easily schedule the deletion of backups on these devices? I know that with 7.0's Maintenance plans, you can schedule old backups to be deleted. But how do you do that for devices?

How do I create more than 10 devices in sql server 4.2?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello
I just tried to make a typed resultset from a SSCE v3.5 database, and recieved this message from Visual Studio:
"Typed ResultSets cannot be generated for tables on Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 databases present on devices."
On the device, speed and low memory consumption is important. So it seems to me that this should be present ONLY on devices, because on the desktop we can just use the DataSet generator and not care about the overhead.
Anyway, ripped from what would have been a nice feature, the alternatives that comes to mind are:
1. Making my own resultset generator
2. Use typed DataSets
3. Derive from SqlCeResultSet and store the Field names in it, to build my own typed resultset class.
Any suggestions on what to do?
I asked about this a few mos ago over in the CF forum, but I'm hoping there's a better solution someone (Erik?) knows about here.
Is there a "standard" deploy script for SQL Server CE on devices? There doesn't even seem to be one in the d/l from Microsoft. During development, Visual Studio handles the installation of SQL Server CE on the device but deploying it on a device that isn't partnered to a dev box seems to be a matter of "just copy the cab file over".
While I'm willing to do that if I have to, it raises some other questions. How do I know if it's already there? How do I know if what's there is a newer version or not (and if it is, how do I abort this step)? How do I make sure some other application hasn't installed it already? Do I really even need to worry this?
I can just have my installer tell ActiveSync to put it on the device, but without knowing the above I'm kind of nervous about it.

Hello
Does anyone have experience/advice with large databases (5-10 Gig)? If so, I was wondering about
performance/other benefits of spanning a large database across multiple devices (different disks). Would anyone
vote for or against doing this?
