Recently we had multiple production failures because one database was in single-user mode. I am trying to recreate this scenario to write a script that will kick out that connection that was holding database in single-user.In SSMS window 1 I run the following code:
use master go alter database test set single_user with rollback immediate
[code]....
Yes, it shows one record, but the database name is master, not test. And indeed, I run it from the context of master. Also tried sp_who, sp_who2, sys.dm_exec_requests - nothing works. For dm_exec_requests it shows nothing because it does not run at the current moment.Any other solutions to catch this SPID with a script?
I want to make data changes in read_only database , that's why i must set database read_write. While database is at read_write mode, i want to be sure that no one makes change in database.
For this aim, i write the code below, but i suspect that after setting the database read_write, till the setting database single_user ,is it possible get DML script from another user. Is the code below enough for this operation. Or is there another way?
Reminding: Read_only database can not be set single_user mode. That's why, first you must set database read_write.
The code;
use master alter database xxx set read_write with rollback immediate alter database xxx set single_user with rollback immediate
use xxx update tablexxx set columnxxx=yyy use master alter database xxx set read_only with rollback immediate alter database xxx set multi_user with rollback immediate
does anybody know, is there any possible way to connect to database written in Natural ?? After evaluating everyday backups on that database all i can see is BCK data format. im trying to create datawarehouse running on sql server 2000 and gather all operational data from the systems that are working in my firm. I just managed to get data originating from Interbase and these with dbf and txt format . unfortunatelly my problem with bck data format is still open. As you can see im a beginner with that issue so if anybody could help i would be very gratefull.

Management is getting frustrated with the increase in number of NT servers for MSSQL and Vendor packages. Currently we purchase a box for each app. We would like to go to one or two MSSQL servers running multiple application database's (based on size etc) . How are you handling this? Do you do this for test only or both test and production? Any gotcha's. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks john
Online US Searchable Map of the 50 US States. Users search criteria is the following: Query records by selecting state, county, then record. Each County table has 10-20 tables. All databases combined = 500MB and TLogs = 100MB.
How would you re-design a relational DB where users could query data by state-county-record. Currenty the DB's are created by the County of each state which creates hundreds of DB's in SQLServer with no realtionship to each US state. What would be the best design to ensure good performance, data integrity and maintenance? Would you create 1 DB with all 50 states, create 4 DB's and divide by region(N,S,E,W), 50 DB's of each state or leave it as is with each county it's on DB? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Msg 911, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'NORTHWIND'. No entry found with that name.
Make sure that the name is entered correctly.

How to maintain Database User Permissions when copying the Database from One SQL Server to another(Either through backups or sp_detach). The reason is the login sid is different in the target server and as a result the database user is not able to map to the login existing in the target server. The only way I can correct this is through dropping and recreating the user's again and assign the permissions, or change the system catalog - sysusers to remap the login to the user in the database. I do not wish to use the sp_addalias as it is available only for backward compatibility. Is there a better way of doing this ?
hellohow are you all ?I want to insert ,select update date in database these data contains special chars like ' & _ <> and so onso is there any way to handle this issue ? please help methanks a lot
We have a database that is somehow switching to single-user mode every few days. We suspect that the client application (Access 97) written by a non-developer may be doing something funny.
Has anybody encountered such a problem? How is this possible?
we are thinking about consolidating our Vendor Sqlserver needs into single big Sqlserver box. We currently have dedicated boxs for each vendor who requires a Sqlserver Dbs, for example Siemen Sqlserver Dbs are on one box, Clintrac Dbs are on one bx, etc.
It looks like we can save some money on HW/SW and maintenance cost by the consolidation. That's assuming that the Dbs can get along fine.
I was wondering if folks on this group can share their experience or thoughts about above setting.
Hi, I'm using the SQL Server Everywhere CTP on the desktop and haven't used SQL Server Mobile in the past.
I'm having some difficulty determining whether it's possible to change a SQL Server Everywhere database's password. Obviously authentication on a file-based SQL Server Everywhere database differs from that of server-based SQL Server database. Is it possible to change a SQL Server Everywhere database's password?
That said, I feel like I've made a decent search of the to change a SQL Server Everywhere books online. If it's not possible to change the password in place (i.e., without copying all data to a new file with a different password), please count this as a vote to add that functionality. Making a database password "permanent" lessens its effectiveness. Thanks,
I designed a database that works well in Access and I want to get it to run in SQL Server. How do I learn how and what to do to change over to SQL Server?

I have two databases lets say DB1 and DB2. Schemas for both databases is same. In both database schemas there are tables which has identity columns as primary key. Now i want to merge these two databases in a single database say DB3. It may also possible that some master records in both databases are common so they should not repeat in DB3
Is there any way so that i can do it quickly and as soon as possible.

I like to backup the stored procedures' code used in my databases. So I created this Script:
/* IF OBJECT_ID('[Monitor].[dbo].[Procedurecode]') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE [Monitor].[dbo].[Procedurecode]; */ DECLARE @db nvarchar(50), @strSQL nvarchar (100) IF CURSOR_STATUS('global','cur1')>=-1 BEGIN DEALLOCATE cur1 END
[code]....
Problem is (and I seem not to be the only one with tis) described here:
"If the executed string contains a USE statement that changes the database context, the change to the database context only lasts until sp_executesql or the EXECUTE statement has finished running." There is nothing magical in SQL server that knows you intend a series of dynamic sql commands to be part of a single job running in a single context. You have to build the entire string for the job you want to execute."
You have a store procedure and inside you make Updates or Inserts against another Server. But that name can change and I dont want to change it manually in everyplace.
Per example:
SELECT * FROM Himalaya.DBName.dbo.tblUserGroup WHERE fldUserID = 7300
I have several Selects, Updates and Inserts pointing to that server.
What I can do if I want to change from Himalaya server to another server?
I've created a SQL Server Express Database that is used by an ASP.NET 2.0 application (developed using VWD Express).
I would like to be able to:
Make changes to stored procedures, views and table structures while developing/testing ASP.NET application - which, ideally, needs a SQL Server Manager Studio Express connection and Upload my application and data to a database on a network - which, ideally, needs a direct Database.mdf connection.
I know that I need to change my connection string - and am able to achieve that with ease - but I'm not sure what the best way of switching between the two ways of attaching on the database side. I keep getting logon type problems etc.
I am in need of some option using which i can trail the changes made to my database. Specially i want to track all the DDL and DMl changes.
I know about the external tools provided by lumigent and some other companies to do this but i was just wondering if we have some option within sql server.
I don't need extensive report as provided by lumigent.
Just getting somethin on DDL and DML will help.
Even help on some work arounds to do same will be appreciated.
Hello, As the heading states, I'd like to copy a database table from VWDE over to SQL SME, where it'll replace its namesake. I've tried the 'attach' method but was denied due to server permissions. Is there another way of doing this, or will I have to delete the database and then run a script to reinstate (annoyingly convoluted)? This would be so much easier if the host supported SQL 2005 Express. Thanks in advance
