Many Big Trace Files
Dec 6, 2007Experts, I've run a profiler trace on a production 2k5 server for two days, resulting in more than 4GB of 50MB rollover files. Profiler was run with default settings plus some columns and a filter for just one database by name.
I want to run Tuning Advisor over this huge log, but it seems that this tool can take one file at a time, but I need only one report instead of more than 80 with different suggestions.
I'm trying to discard event records that aren't "RPC:Completed", "SQL:BatchCompleted" and "SP:StmtCompleted", in order to generate only one trc file that sumarizes all my capture.
Is there a way to do that? Any tool available?
I was thinking about to use the "fn_trace_gettable" method, but I don't want to run the Advisor over a database. BTW, is it possible to filter during the "select into" or "insert" with a "where"? If so, what should I filter?
I can write a file manipulation tool for this task if I know the trc file format, but I didn't find that info. Any hint?
Thanks a lot...

Transaction Log Huge Loading SQL Profiler Trace Files In Simple Mode
Dec 8, 2007
Hi there - can anyone advise on the following issue. We have recently performed some server side tracing on a particular SQL instance over 24hr period. We are now attempting to load these into a database for analysis. Here lies the problem.
When we are loading the profiler trace files (one at a time) into the database the transaction log is growing at an excessive rate. Even though the database is in SIMPLE mode.
We are loading the traces using the command:
INSERT INTO sqlTableToLoad
SELECT * FROM ::fn_trace_gettable('MytraceFileName', DEFAULT)
Can anyone advise how we could possibly get round this issue as we're running out of space due to the transaction log.
Thanks

Nov 5, 2007Hi all,
I downloaded and ran AdventureWorks.msi into my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) one year ago.But I did not know how to attach it to my SSMSE then. Last week, I deleted it from the "Add or Remove" of Control Panel and I downloaded the new AdventureWork.msi and installed it my SSMSE. Today, I tried to use the Database Explorer of VB 2005 Express for the first Stored Procedure programming. I clicked on AdventureWorks.mdf and I got the following error: One or more files do not match the primary of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupt and should be restored from a backup. Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'CENADe1enxshc'. Log file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataAdventureWorks_Data_log.ldf' does not match the primary file. It may be from a different database of the log may have been rebuilt previously. Please help and advise me how to correct this problem.

Possible To Restore Database From Raw MDF And LDF Files Of Old To New Database Instance
Aug 19, 2015I have a client that has POS software called Restaurant Pro Express (RPE) from [URL] ...
Their old POS computer had a hardware failure, but I was able to attach the hard-drive to another computer and recover the data. RPE uses a MSSQL database system. However, my client doesn't seem to make backups very often
- the last one is dated January 5, 2015. I was able to copy the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server folder over which contained the instance as well as all the data files - and has up-to-date information. The instance in the recovered Microsoft SQL Server folder was called MSSQL.1. I installed the RPE software on their new computer, and it too now has an instance called MSSQL10_50.PCAMERICA. The new computer is using MSSQL 2008 R2, while I believe the old computer would have been using MSSQL 2005.
I am no DBA expert, especially when it comes to MSSQL. Is is possible to 'restore' the database from the 'raw' .mdf and .ldf files of the old computer to the new computer / database instance? If so, how should I proceed?

Feb 7, 2007Hi, I'm relatively new to SQL and ASP.NET and I'm after some assistance to what I hope is an easily achievable goal.
I need to upload some files (.pdf, .doc, .jpg - whatever) to a directory on my webserver. Once this has been done, I'd like to write some data to an SQL Database Table that will contain information about these files in a datagrid (or something similar) along with a link to download them.
E.g I upload car.jpg which is located at /images/secure/car.jpg and is a photo of car. When a user logs in, they will be shown a datagrid which pulls information from said SQL database and in this datagrid will be something like:
Filename Description Link
car.jpg A pic of a car Download

How To Save Pdf Files To SQL Database?
Sep 26, 2005Hi all,
Can someone please brief me on how to save 'pdf' files(there are about 15 files) into a SQL database and retrieve/open it from a datagrid?
I have about 15 pdf files on my webserver and need to save it in the SQL database, so every pdf file saved in the database will have a primary key and the file will be saved either as 'ntext' or 'binary' type...I just have this rough idea.
If someone has a ready code in VB.net then nothing better( i know thats a shortcut :) but it will help me like a tutorial. C# code will do too, I can then convert the code to Vb.net
Thanks a ton.
Uploading Files To SQL Database
Mar 19, 2006I was following an example from the book "ASP.net unleashed" in Chapter 14, where it describes how to upload a file directly into the database.
I got it to insert the file into my database as described, and with changes created a master and detail form to select the file and display it.. (which I assume had worked).
Except, when attempting to access the file it gives two different errors. For a ppt file it gives:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'http://localhost:3870/SeminarOrganiser/view_file...
and for a simple txt file:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'http://localhost:3870/SeminarOrganiser/view_file.aspx?...SELECT suggestEvent.suggestID, suggestEvent.uID, users.uFirstName, users.uLastName, users.uEmail, suggestEvent.suggestTitle,...From these two errors, I cannot really make sense of what has gone wrong or even why XML has even been mentioned. Looking around on the net has not allowed me any further progress.In any case, would anyone be able to explain to me what might have gone wrong?Alternatively, any links that may help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you very much in advance.

I've got a database called Webmine which is running with multi users.
I want to duplicate it to generate archive.
My problem is that I can't duplicate the MDF file (and the ldf file optionally) without detach the webmine db and reattach after the duplication.
Detach this database is a problem durring this processing of duplication because we can have users always working on Webmine.
Is there a way to proceed without detach Webmine ? Or perhaps it's stupid or dangerous to duplicate a DB if users are always working (that's my position but here, everybody does not agree with this position so can anybody certify
I've got or not reason ?

Backup Database Using Files
Aug 10, 2004I am but a lowly DBA unworthy of this task...
I have a large (200+ GB) database with many (100+) files. Please don't ask me why I did it this way; I inherited this database -- really, it wasn't my idea.
My predecessor also seemd to think that backups were unnecessary; there have been no backups of this database -- ever.
While we cast about for a good long term solution, I am trying various short-term options. One I want to explore is to back the database up in chunks -- ie, by backing up individual files. I created a test database with five files (there is only one filegroup on the production server). Here is the DDL:
-- =============================================
-- Create database on mulitple file groups
-- =============================================
IF EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM master..sysdatabases
WHERE name = N'MultiFile')
DROP DATABASE MultiFile
GO
CREATE DATABASE MultiFile
ON PRIMARY
( NAME = MultiFile,
FILENAME = N'e:MSSQLDataMultiFile.mdf',
SIZE = 1MB,
MAXSIZE = 10MB,
FILEGROWTH = 10%),
( NAME = MultiFile2,
FILENAME = N'e:MSSQLDataMultiFile2.ndf',
SIZE = 1MB,
MAXSIZE = 10MB,
FILEGROWTH = 10%),
( NAME = MultiFile3,
FILENAME = N'e:MSSQLDataMultiFile3.ndf',
SIZE = 1MB,
MAXSIZE = 10MB,
FILEGROWTH = 10%),
( NAME = MultiFile4,
FILENAME = N'e:MSSQLDataMultiFile4.ndf',
SIZE = 1MB,
MAXSIZE = 10MB,
FILEGROWTH = 10%),
( NAME = MultiFile5,
FILENAME = N'e:MSSQLDataMultiFile5.ndf',
SIZE = 1MB,
MAXSIZE = 10MB,
FILEGROWTH = 10%)
LOG ON
( NAME = MultiFile_Log,
FILENAME = N'e:MSSQLDataMultiFile_Log.ldf',
SIZE = 1MB,
MAXSIZE = 10MB,
FILEGROWTH = 10%)
GO
I have tried the following backup script:
BACKUP DATABASE MultiFile
FILE = 'MultiFile',
FILE = 'MultiFile2'
TO Backup01
WITH
INIT
BACKUP DATABASE MultiFile
FILE = 'MultiFile3',
FILE = 'MultiFile4'
TO Backup02
WITH
INIT
BACKUP DATABASE MultiFile
FILE = 'MultiFile5'
TO Backup03
WITH
INIT
And here is the restore script:
RESTORE DATABASE MultiFile2
FILE = 'MultiFile',
FILE = 'MultiFile2',
FILE = 'MultiFile3',
FILE = 'MultiFile4',
FILE = 'MultiFile5'
FROM Backup01, Backup02, Backup03
WITH MOVE 'MultiFile' TO 'E:MSSQLDataaMultfile.mdf',
MOVE 'MultiFile2' TO 'E:MSSQLDataaMultifile2.mdf',
MOVE 'MultiFile2' TO 'E:MSSQLDataaMultifile3.mdf',
MOVE 'MultiFile2' TO 'E:MSSQLDataaMultifile4.mdf',
MOVE 'MultiFile2' TO 'E:MSSQLDataaMultifile5.mdf',
MOVE 'MultiFile_log' TO 'E:MSSQLaMultFile_Log.ldf'
However, running the Restore script generates the following error:
Server: Msg 3259, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The volume on device 'Backup02' is not part of a multiple family media set. BACKUP WITH FORMAT can be used to form a new media set.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
I'm not sure what to make of this. What do I need to alter in either the backup script or the restore script to make this work?
I am trying this because my objectives are to:
1. Limit the amount of work that the server is performing during any one given backup session. The idea that I have is to backup the database in chunks using a rolling 3-5 day window.
2. The database must be up and operational 7x24x365 (except for one 4 hour window each month)
3. This is not the long-term solution; but I need something to tide us over until we can purchase additional storage capacity.
I appreciate any thoughts and or guidance you can provide.

Moving Database Files
Aug 28, 2007Sorry for the ultra-beginner question, but I've just recently started playing with SQL 2005 Express Edition for a task I've been assigned to at work.
I'm building an ASP.NET 2.0 web site that needs to connect to a SQL database to pull information. I installed SQL Express 2005 and installed the SQL Server Management Studio and I've managed to build a small database with one table.
I noticed that by default, the mdf and ldf files are located in C:Program FilesMS SQL ServerMSSQLDATA (or something along those lines). The website I'm working on is temporarily stored in C:WebSite. I need to move the database files over to C:WebSiteApp_Data so I can access them easily with ASP.NET and VS 2005 Express.
I can copy and paste the mdf and ldf files, but then I can't figure out how to point the SQL Server Management Studio to the new location.
I am obviously just a complete newbie at all of this. It's pretty sad that I can't figure out how to simply move the database from one directory to another on the same server... it makes me worry about when I'll need to move it to the new webserver!
Could anyone point me in the right direction at least?
Thanks in advance!
