I have:
- server MS SQL MSDE (2000)
- database 'COLLBASE'
- table 'MAIN'
- row: column 'NAME' value 'version' and column 'VALUE' value '003'
I make backup files by SQL query.
I have more backups for different versions of this database (different
value in field 'VALUE' in table 'MAIN').
I would like to read this value from backup file without server assist,
to get backup as ordinary file.
How to do it?
How to move in this file?
What is physical structure of backup file?
I can't to read this file from begin by compare strings, because these
files are very large, few 100MB.
Is there a way to read a backup file to see if it contains a file withoutrestoring the backup file? We are missing a record from a table, and I needto find out when it was deleted. We have nightly backup files of thedatabase. Is it possible, knowing the database name, the table name, and theprimary key value of the record, to determine if the record exists in acertain backup file? If not, is there an alternate way to determine when aparticular record was deleted?Thank you!Neil
I want to read certain data from the backup file of MS SQL 2000 without restoring the database backup file.

If yes then please let me know how?

Hello Experts, I am createing one task (user control) in SSIS. I have property grid in my GUI and 2 buttons (OK & Cancle). PropertyGrid has Properties like SourceConnection, OutputConnection etc....right now I am able to populate Connections in list box next to Source and Output Property.
Now my question to you guys is depending on Source Connection it should read that text file associated with connection manager. After validation it should pick header (first line of text file bases on record type) and write it into new file when task is executed. I have following code for your reference. Please let me know I am going in right direction or not.. What should go here ? ->Under Class A
I have a filetable that contains a binary file. I need to do a selective read of the file stored in the file table. I can write a C# CLR function that will open the file, read n bytes the from a starting byte. Or I can write a SQL statement that reads the stream in the filetable into a VARBINARY variable using SUBSTRING beginning at the starting byte (offset from 1) for the same n bytes.
Both give me the same result. However, the SQL statement takes considerably longer to read. I know there is overhead in reading through SQL (interpreted language), but the difference in performance is substantial, and I can only attribute this performance degradation if SQL first tries to "load" the entire stream before it identifies the portion of the stream that it needs to read beginning at the starting byte offset.
I wonder if this is the case or if there is another option to read a stream from a filetable directly through SQL queries that is more efficient.
Using SQL Server 2005 Server Management Studio, I attempted to back up a database, and received this error:
Backup failed: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Backup and file manipulation operations (such as ALTER DATABASE ADD FILE) on a database must be serialized. Reissue the satement after the current backup or file manipulation is completed (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

I am fairly new to SQL 2005. Can someone help me get past this issue? What other information do I need to provide?
I got full backup on daily schedule its taking more space on Drive because each file has more than 25GB.I am using SLQ server 2008R2 so I'm looking to take the backup with compression instead of uncompressed Backup. What are the impacts of compressed backup. Is there any problems with compressed backup while restoring the backup file.
I should restore a SQL Server 2005 Database from backup. The backup contains three files, named user.bak0, user.bak1 and user.bak2.
How is the syntax of the restore filelistonly and the restore database ... ?
I usualy write restore filelistonly from disk = 'path and filenam.bak' restore database. zy from disk = 'path and filename.bak' with replace, move..... move....
This works but I cannot use it with a splitted backup file. The files are much too big to put together to one file.
It would be a stored procedure that would read the XML attributes into 2 tables, the number of attributes could be 1-N, so I thought XML would be a good choice. Also, one of the attributes could be up to 4000 characters. I think this may limit our options, can 100-150 4000 character strings be passed in a standard call to a query/proc in SQL?
Currently the client application makes round-trip network calls to save upwards of 100 pairs of data. 1 header row, and many detail rows. All within a transaction.
I think If we move an XML file to the SQL box, then do all the import/save work on the "Server" side it would be much better. Cutting the transaction time down a lot by not doing so many round-trips at network speed...
I am trying to load DBF files into SQL server within CLR (actually if just running the select statement outside, say within the SQLQuery window, i got the same result), but with the following error:

How can I read one external file (*.txt,*.csv) through stored procedure in MS Sql Server 2000 ?
On the database Interbase its very simple :
[CREATE TABLE table [EXTERNAL [FILE] ’ <filespec>’] ( <col_def> [, <col_def> | <tconstraint> …]); EXTERNAL [FILE]“<filespec> ” Declares that data for the table under creation resides in a table or file outside the database; <filespec> is the complete file specification of the external file or table]
I am programming to read read sqlserver log file without shutdowning sqlserver. However it is said that the file is used by another process which I believe is sqlserver. Is there any way to open log file without shutdowning server? I know that Log Explorer can read online log file. But I do not know the technology they are using.
