Loss Master Database
Mar 5, 1999
After rebuilding my SQL 6.5 server and restoring all of my drives I noticed that the mssql/data direcory didnt properly backup. I reinstalled SQL, applied SP5a, recreated my device and databases, and then replaced my dat files from my restores. The only database that I am affraid of is my Master. I can run Queries successfully against all my databases successfully. Is there anything else I need to do or should be worried about? I might be able to restore the master from a backup done earlier yesterday morning. But dont want to unless necessary.
Thanks in advance.

We are planning to use SQL Compact for an industrial control application.
We selected this database based on the assuption that it will survive when power is lost in the middle of a transaction.
We setup a test where we open a connection, write to database and randomly shut of the power while writing to database.
We are running on XPE with EWF enabled for C drive. Database is on D drive.
We cycle the power every ~ 20 seconds.
When the power comes back on, we Verify the database and if return is FALSE we Repair.
The database gets corrupted after 15 to 24 hours.
Looking at the log, for the first 12 hours there is no Repair going on. Every time the Verify returns True. After that, we start seeing Repair going on. The messages in the log are one or more of the following:
"Page with valid ordinal not found - idPage: 1, iPage: 3151"
"Block page not found - pwszTable: EventLogTable, idPage: 4678"
"Selected page not found - idPage: 4951, iPage: 3935"
After a couple more hours of repairing , the database corrupts completely and our application does not start anymore. The database file is always 20K when it gets corrupted.
Is there any setup to be done for the OS or the SQL to be able to survive this kind of test?
Is there anything to do to the database to prevent the corruption?

Hi guys , I would like to know what's the exactly results able to get in this following scenario.
Server A : Principal
Server M : Mirror
Server W : Witness
1) Firstly, disable server M, following by server W. So probably i will unable to connect to Server A eventhough it acts as a principal.
2) Next, if I enable either server M or server W , what will I able to get actually ? Is it the mirroring works like the article which written in Microsoft page ?(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/dbmirror.mspx#ETPAE)
At here, I get an error message and unable to continue the mirroring section. ( "Database EMS is enabled for Database Mirroring, but neither the partner nor witness server instances are available: the database cannot be opened." or "Database 'EMS' is being recovered. Waiting until recovery is finished." )
3) If I enable both server M and server W, the mirroring continue to work again.
Can I have any assistance on (2) issue? Thx for the assistance.
Best Regards,
Hans

I had to to relocate the database log file and I issued an Alter database command but by mistake I put a space in the file name as below. The space is at the beginning file name. Now I am unable get the database loaded to SQL Server. The database has 2 replications configured, so deleting and re-attaching the database means the replication needs to be re-configured. Is there an alternative way to issue a command to update the database FILENAME ? Not sure if this can be edited in master database (sys files).
ALTER DATABASE [User_DB]
MODIFY FILE (NAME = User_DB_log, FILENAME = 'I:SQLLogs User_DB_log.ldf')

whenenver i run cold fusion, it automatically gets my tables out of the master database instead of the new one i have created. i've added a user that has a default to the new database instead of the master, but i need to know how to use that new user correctly, and what i will need to do once i start adding more databases so that cold fusion will go to the appropriate database and not to the master.

Hi,
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Pro and SQLExpress that comes with it.
I have my program running fine in XP Pro OS using a window user "Glen" (Computer administrator) with Administrator rights. This means that I installed VS 2005 using this window user "Glen"
I created another windows user "TestUser" (Limited account) in the same physical PC.
I tried to run the program and on the part that I need to access SQL table, I got the error [CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master']
At the same time while using "TestUser" and running sqlcmd (to check if I can connect to SQL), I also got error HResult 0x2, Level 16, State 1.
I read alot on MSDN discussions and related links but it seems that I can't get the solution that I need.
SO HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS :
1. Am I allowed to run my program using user "TestUser" since SQL is installed using "Glen" windows user?
2. Do I need to add access rights to "TestUser" to allow the user to have CREATE rights? (Note : for security reason, I can add other access rights except Administrator)
Thanks in advance for all you help.

Sometime during the night last night some user account permissions were "lost". Am I right to think that restoring the master database would be the way to go? We have a 2 node 2012 cluster and I stop the cluster resource and start the db in single user mode from the active node. Somehow the sharepoint farm is still trying to connect so I can't get logged in single user. What method could I use to stop users from connecting when I don't have access to the sharepoint farm.

Hi,
I have a question regarding master database.I know if a master database is
corrupt we need to rebuild the master.One of the guys suggested us to
maintain a copy of master data file and log file in diffrent directory and
when master database is corrupt we can copy the files to the actual location
and restart the sql server and this should fix the issue and by this method we can save the time of rebuilding the master database.I don't know if this works.Can anyone please tell me if this works and also disadvantages if any with this method?
thanks

Various books read suggest that the Master
database be backed up when it is changed.'
What activities does a DBA perform (or perhaps)
a user) will cause the Master database to
change?
I am aware that information about the addition
of new databases is kept in the Master.

I tried to import a stored procedure from one Master database to another Master database, but it won't allow me. I then tried to copy and paste that system stored procedure on isql, but it still won't allow me.
Why I can do a DTS on other databases, except on Master database?
Is there any way around it?
Thanks for any help.

hi, What are the symptoms that the master database is currepted?
If I do not know the databases sort order, code page, and Unicode collation and I had a master database crash, it is important during the rebuild process to maintain same configuration,
Is there a way to run a script which tells me the configuration set up of the master database. so I know ahead of time what configurations Ican use during the rebuilding process.

I installed SQL Server, created a database for a sql server user andnoticed that the user has access to the master database even though thecheckbox for master database for the user login is not checked.They can list sysusers and find out all the names. They can list all thedatabases as well by using sp_helpdb.Is this normal behavior?If I check db_denydatareader and db_denydatawriter in the master databasefor that user, will that break anything?John Dalberg

In SQL 7 Books Online, the suggested method for disaster recovery is to restore the master database along with msdb and user databases.
I am testing this and have an issue restoring the master database. I start SQL in single user mode connected as sa. Using Enterprise Manager to initiate the restore I get the following error:
Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState:01000)
ConnectionTransact (GetOverlappedResult())
Connection broken.
This stops SQL Server, and prevents subsequent connections and the only fix is to rebuild the master database.
Any ideas?
Although user databases can be recreated and restored without restoring the original master, configuration, security and user logon information is lost without it.
Thanks.

I would like to restore the master database from a current backup tape but I got the error “Load database must be used in single user mode if trying to restore the Master database”. I tried to change the master database option but the option ‘single user’ cannot be changed for the ‘master’ database. Then I tried to start the SQL Server in Single-User Mode but I was not able to restore the master database from a tape.
Would anybody help me on how to restore the Master database like any other database?
Many thanks

Hello All,
I am going through the procedure of restoring the master database as described in the Microsoft SQL 6.5 Survival Guide by SAMS. I deleted the master.dat file from c:mssqldatamaster.dat. I went into setup and choose rebuild master database. After rebuilding the master database, I went into setup again to add the "-m" server option to start server in single user mode so I can load the master database from backup. Then I went into Enterprise Manager to start the server. The server started, but when I try to double click on the server. It gave me the following
" A connection could not be established to [server name] - SQL server login failed."
I try reregistering the server, but gave me the same error. The SQL server is using standard security.
Does anybody know what I did wrong?

Hallo
I do my backup using BACKUP database <myDB> TO DISK='D:BACKUPmyDB.bak'
I do this for ALL my databases every day.
Another product writes every day all the files on the server to tape EXCEPT the online databases because these files are open by SQL server 2000.
Now I restore the files of the tape to the server
This works well but I haven't got the online databases !!
And because the master database isn't available, SQL server wont start ...
BUT I have the backup of the master database 'D:BACKUPMaster_data.bak'
How can I use this master backup to do a restore even when SQL server can't start ?
Or must I do the bakup of the master database in another way ?

Hi all,
We are going to have several dozen servers around the country- each with a mirror copy of the initial database (blank) loaded upon them.
The data will be entered at each station, and then once a month, the systems will dial into the 'net and -
this is where i am getting stuck -
we would like the data from the remote areas to update the data in the master database -
What would be the best solution to update the data from the remote station into the master database???
thanks

ALL,
When I attempt to restore a master database I am having some issues. I am using SQL Server 2000. I have set the start up option with -c -m to set the database in single user mode.
When I run the restore from enterprise manager I am get an popup window that is titled "SQL-DMo(odbc SQLSTATE:HY000)" with not message and then the database conection is lost. Thus the master datbase is appears to it was not resotred. As when I close enterprise manager and then restart the MSSQLSERVER service the database is in the same state.
Please advise on how i can get the Database restored.
Thanks

When i try & restart the services it fails with the following error:-

It looks like the master database has become corrupt & needs rebuilding.
I have found a utility rebuildm.exe that repairs the master db but unfortunately it is not supported in sql 2005.
Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to repair the master db.

Hi Everyone!
A customer installed a SQL 2005 production server and due to a configuration error chose a minimum master db size of about 1GB! The master database resides on the system partition and causes problems with a service pack installation, so it should be shrinked and moved. Until now I was unable to find a way to shrink the master db, although 99% of its space is unused (as one might expect.)
Is there a way to deflate the master db without doing a reinstall?
Thanks for any tips!

We just recently found out that our production database (SQL Server 2005) was running on an evaluation license and that it would expire very soon. So we went ahead and bought a license for SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition and installed it last night. Before we started, we did full backups of SQL Server so that we could just restore the DB. Then we uninstalled the evaluation version and installed the enterprise version. However, when we tried to restore the master database, we got an error stating that the build/version number of the master database restore and the target SQL Server instance were different and that the restore could not be done. We decided not to try too hard and just manually entered the data into the already existing master database.
Well, we did not discover until this morning that our encrypted data was not decrypting because the service master key was not matching the one that was used to encrypt our data. We realized that we do not have any backups for the service master key and we do not know the user credentials that were used to create the original service master key.
We tried http://support.microsoft.com/kb/264474 already, but we could not get past step 6. We got the build/version mismatch error.
My question is does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to either get the master database to be restored or to get the service master key extracted? Our business is basically at a hault until we get this data encrypted.
Thank you in advance for your help.
