View 4 Replies View RelatedWe are trying to restore from a backup (.bak) of a sql 2005 database with full text catologs to sql 2012.
We are getting errors saying that the backup file context are different from what we are trying to restore to, even if we try to create a new database from the backup.The new database is just a test database. The source is a production database with full cataologs.
The normal restore from a bak file does not seem to work.
We dont need the full text catalogs in the new database, but cannot change settings in the source production database.
Is there a way to take a backup of the sql 2005 database without the full text cataologs being included ? , without changing setting in the source database beforehand ?
We have an issue with a 3 node SQL 2012 Always on availability group. Normal operation is node 1 (primary replica) with node 2 and node 3 as secondary replicas.After some patching, SQL wasn't running on node 1 hence the AG flipped over to node 2. This went unnoticed for some time and the transaction log for one of the AG databases became full on node 2 and node 3. (I think this is because it couldn't commit the transactions on node 1 so couldn't truncate it's t-log?) The DB is using synchronous replication btw.So I started SQL on node 1 and flipped the AG back to node 1 (with a data loss warning but I accepted this).Now the issue is that on node 2 and 3, the DB in question is stuck in a "Reverting / In Recovery" State. I've tried various commands such as ALTER DATABASE SET ONLINE, RESTORE DATABASE WITH RECOVERY etc but these fail stating unable to obtain a lock on the DB.
The weird thing is that on node 1 the state of the DB is "synchronised".how to resolve this issue on node 2 and 3? I've left them overnight (in case they were rolling back transactions, the DB is fairly large) but nothing seems to have happened. remove the DB from the AG in node 2 and 3 and add it back in again, ie recreate the replication?
Hi
What are the pros and cons of putting the system databases in full recovery mode
I am asked by my manager to keep everything simple and uniform.We have all the user databases in Full recovery mode and he wants all the system databases as well to be full recovery mode.
I would like to get the points where in i can argue that, there is no point in having the system databases in full recovery mode.Unfortunately i dont see anything related to this in BOL or internet.
Plz help
Thanks

Hi
I hope you can help as I am really scratching my head on this one. I am pulling together an assessment of the Disaster Recovery readiness for an organisation I am working at. Part of the assessment I am doing is the recovery model of each of the databases.
I have scripts that are already pulling lots of data from 40+ servers and 500+ databases. However, I cannot seem to find anywhere within the MASTER or MSDB or the database itself where the Recovery Model flag is held. Obviously I can right click on the database and click properties and it is there, but I need to automate this task (as it will probably be a weekly assessment).
I have checked sysdatabases and almost every other table, but nothing obvious as to where this flag is.
Any ideas?
I am new to always on management, I would like to know if exist a best practice for configuring maintenance plan on a alwayson system (two nodes) or is just running the maintenance plan wizard on both nodes.

Hi, I am zeronet. I decide to set up our own web system application just like Ebay. Because of the low investment, I want to select a free DB for our data storage. For high performance, we want to set up a distributed db system. As a beginner of SQL server 2005 express, we want to know: if the SQL-server-2005-express has that ability to manage large amout data and to do with this work? I am eager to hear of your advice.
Thanks.

Ok guys, I am trying to install Sql server 2005 on Vista but I am still stuck with this warning message in the System Configuration Check during Sql server 2K5 installation :
SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility (Warning)
Messages
* SQL Server Edition Operating System Compatibility
* Some components of this edition of SQL Server are not supported on this operating system. For details, see 'Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2005' in Microsoft SQL Server Books Online.
Now, I know I need to install SP2 but how the hell I am going to install SP2 if Sql server 2005 doesn't install any of the components including Sql server Database services, Analysus services, Reporting integration services( only the workstation component is available for installation)?
Any work around for this issue?
P.S.: I didn't install VS.NET 2005 yet, can this solve the problem?
Thanks.
Last week I backed up my SQL Server by using BE 2012. I named the file "SQL Server BAK" which contained copies of my SQL Server databases. A few days ago I lost some part of my data due to accidental deletion. I backed it up, so I tried to restore the database from the .bkf file. The problem comes here, when I try to to restore my .bkf file, it becomes inaccessible.what causes this?

Hi,I'm no where close to a SQL Server expert but we're using it as a back endto another application.I lost a PC that had MS SQL Server 2000. I was able to recover the .MDF and..LDF files but nothing else. How can I restore these files to another SQLServer installation on another PC. When I tried to attach them they are notrecognized as valid files (I get the red X instead of the green CHECK).Is this a basic security function that I'm not going to get around or shouldit be possible? Do the .mdf and .ldf files contain specific info about whatPC they were created on?Are there third party apps that might be able to at least extract thetables?Thanks,WH

Hello all,
Is there a way to check the status of a database in recovery. Like how far along it may be. If not is there a way to stop a database in recovery and just drop it.
Thanks in advance,

Our server ran out of disk space during a stored procedure process. We were able to free up some space, stopped all SQL services, restarted all SQL services and now SQL Management Studio shows the database to be in recovery. Is there a way to monitor this to ensure progress is being made and to estimate when it might complete?
What does it actually mean when the database is in recovery? My database has been in recovery overnight. What is normally going on in this situation. Should I wait or take more drastic action?
View 10 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I had to change the path of .mdf and .ldf files, so I decided to:
1) Take offline the database
2) run the quey ALTER DATABASE... MODIFY to change the path
3) Bring online the database.
The last step hung up (with no errors) and left the database In Recovery.
When I tried to stop and restart sql server other databases changed their status In Recovery...

Followed this article to move my model and msdb databes but I think I messed up. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345408.aspx
The instance will not start because it says one of the files does not match it's primary file (not sure if it's model or msdb)
I can bring the instance up in single user mode (NET START mssqlserver /f /t3608) but when I try to do a query to re-do my alter statements, it says i can't attach because only one seesion is allowed. in 2000 i used to be able to start query analyzer without starting enterprise manager..
When i try and start with a minimal config (sqlservr -c -m) it won't start. I get an error saying that one of my files does not match it's primary file (either model or msbd don't know which) any ideas????????

We have a requirement to build SQL environment which will give us local high availability and disaster recovery to second site. We have two sites- Site A & Site B. We are planning to have two nodes at Site A and 2 nodes at Site B. All four nodes will be part of same Windows failover cluster. We will build two SQL Cluster, InstanceA will be clustered between the nodes at Site A Server and InstanceB will be clustered between the nodes at Site B, we will enable Always On Between the InstanceA and InstanceB and will be primary owner where data will be written on InstanceA and will be replicated to InstaceB. URL....Now we want we will have instanceC on the Site B and data will be writen from the application available on Site B, will be replicated to the instance on the Site A as replica.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi everyone,
I am trying to implement a plan for a SQL7 database that is used by the company I work for. Having read the SQL manuals I have come to the following conclusion:
I want to do a complete backup of the database at midnight and do a transaction log backup every 30 minutes between 7am and 7pm. I am hoping this will allow me to 'undo' any user mistakes and roll back the database changes to the last transaction log backup.
The questions I have are:
1) By backing up the transaction log every 30 minutes, will this then give me the ability to 'roll back' the database to the last time the transaction log was backed up (i.e. 30 minutes max) ?
2) How do I load the transaction log back in ? (i.e roll the database changes back). A simple Restore operation (with truncate ???)
3)Am I totally confused or on the right track ?
Thanks,
Tim
Hi I'm a newbie with a problem.
SQL Server 6.5 SP4. Have had problems today with SQL Server running out of LOCKS. We increased these & all seemed fine. LOCKS ranout again & we brought SQL Server back up our major database started a recovery. I know the spid of the recovery from the SQL Server errorlog but when I select the sysprocesses table I don't find an entry for this spid. The recovery has been running for about 2 hours. My question is should I see the spid of the recovery process in the sysprocesses table & is 2 hours long for a recovery of a 5 GB database?
Thanks for any help in advance.
Cheers,
Phil
Just curious, Has anyone had to do a full recovery and have it take 20+ hours?? If anyone can give me their average times for full recovery and database size, I would appreciate it. I'm researching this topic. Thanks.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI cancelled an INSERT operation on a database. Now I get:

That is another 23 days of straight recover time!!! The original INSERT only ran for about 30 hours.
In Windows Performance Monitor, I can see that the system isn't disk or CPU limited. What is the server doing? How can I make it go faster?
