I have clustered SQL server machines(SSserver1 and SSserver2). I need to restore a database from another standalone server to this clustered environment. In this case do I need to restore the DB on both the nodes that are part of the clustering(SSserver1 and SSserver2) or Just can I do it on one of them?
View 5 RepliesCan someone tell me how to make a backup in a sql clustered environment (MSSQL 2000) and how to restore that backup in clustered environment (MSSQL2005)? A step by step backup and restore procedure is appreciated.
View 5 Replies View RelatedEvery once in a while a scheduled restore of a production database backup to a development server will fail with the following error.
RESTORE cannot operate on database 'XXX' because it is configured for database mirroring or has joined an availability group
While it is true the production database is involved in database mirroring, the development server does not have database mirroring enabled. This error tells me something within the backup is telling the development server the database is configured for database mirroring.
However the perplexing part for me is that we only receive this error maybe 5% of the time, if that, and only on a couple of our databases. We have numerous other restores of mirrored production databases to development servers that have never produced this error. So my question is what is causing this error to occur, and why is it not happening all of the time? We get around this error by deleting the DEV database and re-running the restore job.
I have a database with deployed CLR assembly on SQL 2008. I recently took a backup for the database and restored it on SQL 2012 server. Everything worked fine except very strange working of CLR assemblies functions.The result of the function is very odd. It manipulates the numeric string and return the result. It is returning very strange result on SQL 2012 as compared to SQL 2008.Example SQL 2008 ManipulateString('1234') returns 2345 On SQL 2012 the same call returns 1155.I am also trying to deploy the same assembly to SQL 2012 server database. I have successfully register the assembly, but the database do not list the exposed methods.

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 ?
I have 2, 2 node clusters
PROD1(cluster 1) Clustered SQL instance1
PROD2(cluster 1)
DR 1 (cluster 2) Clustered SQL insatace 2
DR 2 (cluster 2)
I have set an availability group up from the PROD instance to the DR instance.How does the AG behave if a SQL instance fails at PROD? Does it try to fail over to Node 2 on Prod before going over to DR? or bring the Replica at DR online straight away? Can we only use Manual Failover of the AG in this scenario to make use of the High Availability of the Windows cluster?
I have a query which is primarily a victim of blocking and a blocker itself for other queries. I studied the plan for this and it shows a 42% cost on CI insert operation. The insert is happening on a table (Table A) that has a PK. This PK is not a running number. It is also a business key (primary key) in another master table (Table B).
My understanding is that the cost is heavy because -
1, this PK is not an incremental number. It could be any number not in a sequence.
2. while inserting into CI, there must be a scan happening to find out the location where the index will be inserted.
How can I reduce the cost?
1. Should I go for partitioning of this table Table A? I am trying to do this but I am not able to find any suitable partition key looking at the JOINS and filter clauses where this table is being used in the applicaiton.
2. Should I introduce a surrogate key (running number) as a primary key so that CI is faster ?
I have a view that joins a dozen tables with a million rows added per year by an application. I want to materialize it. The view is always filtered by date first on reports, then there are a few key transaction keys, but then many other fields required to make each row unique. I don't want to add these columns since they are large, many, not used for sorting or filtering, and may not define uniqueness in a future application design. I need a uniqueifier that is application agnostic. I prefer a bigint. So to store the materialized view ideally for reporting, I want to add the following clustered index to materialize the view:
CREATE unique CLUSTERED INDEX idx1
ON [dbo].[myview](myDate, key1, key2, key3, id bigint identity(1,1) NOT NULL)
And I get this error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near 'bigint'.
Can I do what I want? If so, how?

I did tried the encryption on server "A" for database "AdventureWorks2012". Then I tried to restore to server "B". There was the certificate issue, and I thought "of course : it's encrypted ! Let's deactivate it". So here I go "ALTER DATABASE AdventureWorks2012 SET ENCYRPTION OFF".I look at sys.databases : not encrypted.I backup using no encryption, I verify using msdb.dbo.backupset : not encrypted.
I move my backup to my other server where encryption was never configured (so no certificate, nothing...), and I have the error :
Msg 33111, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
Cannot find server certificate with thumbprint '0xFA130E58C999C4919B8975999C83A75A403B11D8'.

I want to restore a database (from an encrypted .bak file) - but *not* over the live original if you take my meaning. Encryption is the standard AES-256 that comes with Sql Server 2014 btw. I don't want the original touched/altered in any way. I would like to capture a success message if possible.I can extract the physical device name of the database in question using the following code:
SELECT physical_device_name, *
FROM msdb.dbo.backupmediafamily
WHERE media_set_id =(SELECT TOP 1 media_set_id
FROM msdb.dbo.backupset
WHERE database_name='MyDatabase'
AND type='D'
ORDER BY backup_start_date DESC)
I would like if the newly restored database was rename to something different than 'MyDatabase' (as shown above) and has different logs than the original. If possible, and capture a success message when restored.
I did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)
Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.
Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.
Any advice on how to get this thing finished out?
Hello,Being a bit of a SQL Server novice, need some advice with the followingsituation.Server A and Server B have SQLServer 2000 based databases. The vendorof the application/system has implemented their own replication processto ensure the 2 databases are in sync. However, there is no clusteringwith virtual IP addresses implemented. So to an external client/db, itis 2 identical databases with the same name on 2 distinct servers.We need to develop an application that will reside on a networkedserver C and with SQLServer 2000 as well. While most of the tables inthis database are self contained, around 10 tables will have to bemirror copies of the same tables from either Server A or Server B.Question, how do we implement subscription based replication on top ofa redundant database, when no clustering is implemented? So, inessence, when Server A is alive, the database on Server C willperiodically (or on change) replicate the 10 tables from Server A. WhenServer A is not alive, it needs to do same from server B. (When bothserver A and B are alive, it is acceptable to get data from either,since they are synchronized internally).Any alternate suggestions on achieving this functionality are welcometoo. If SQL Server 2005 has some capabilities that may address thisproblem, that is a consideration as well.Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a 3 node cluster on which I have installed SSAS as it's own insntance. I have created this as a named instance and can connect to it by serverinstance if I'm on the server itself. However from my desktop I get the error saying instance was not found on server name.
I have defined an alternate port and setup firewall rules and can connect via server:port but not serverinstance. Prior to making this change SSAS was running on default port of 2383 and I could connect just by servername.
I have read many articles for previous versions saying that clustered SSAS will always use 2383 and that you must connect just using servername. However and this is were it gets strange. I have a 2 node UAT cluster with SSAS setup exactly the same way I've described above and I can connect from my desktop as serverinstance.
Should I be able to connect as serverinstances for a named clustered instance in 2012 ?

I have two servers (same config) I am trying to restore a database that I backed up on one server to the other. The method I used was as follows: I backed up the database to disk.
Copied to the Disk of the second server.
When I try to restore I get the following message.
"The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing "database name" database.
What am I doing wrong?
i'm attempting to restore a 7.0 database to a new server useing
the sql server enterprise manager. If i choose to restore from
device, i get an ODBC SQL State 42000 error and a suggestion to use the
"WITH MOVE OPTION". If i choose to restore via the database option, it
doesn't recognize my backup file in the dropdown list of backup files
to restore. I would like to use the enterprise manager if possible.

Hi!
I attempted to backup a database on server x and restore it on a database on server y. The details are as follows.
Server X
Database name : dbx
Size :263.88MB (Unrestricted filegrowth option set)
Logical files : dbx_data, dbx_log
Physical files : e:mssql7datadbx_data.mdf, f:databaselogsdbx_log.ldf
Server Y
Database name : dby
Size :1MB (Unrestricted filegrowth option set)
Logical files : dby_data, dby_log
Physical files : d:mssql7datadby_data.mdf, d:mssql7datadby_log.ldf
I created a full database backup of dbx on server x at the location, f:ackupsdbx_083099_10.30AM. The size of the file is 272MB. I zipped the file. Copied the file, dbx_083099_10.30AM.xip over to d:ackups of server y. I unzipped the file at server y to the location, d:ackupsdbx_083099_10.30AMdbx_083099_10.30AM.
I now tried to restore this backup on server y using the statement,
restore database dby from disk = 'd:ackupsdbx_083099_10.30AMdbx_083099_10.30AM
with replace,
move 'dbx_data' to 'd:mssql7datadby_data.mdf',
move 'dbx_log' to 'd:mssql7datadby_log.ldf'
I get the following errors :

Hi, I have two sql server 2000. one of the server has a production database names xyz_db I make a full backup of the database then move the backup file xyz_db.BAK to the other sql server and run the restore process, I get an identical database in the second sql server. Is there any issues that I should be aware of in doing such a thing?

suppose we are restoring the database to a new server, the logins are getting created.
So when an user want to login to this new database , what ever he used before to getinto that database should have to use the same password.??
So when we restore a database only, tables , logins are created, or what are the other things getting craeted like stored proc, jobs???
thanks in advance
Hi Guru's,
Please assist,
I have a backup copy of my database from the old server but now when I restore it on the new sever these are the steps I used:
I created the new db on the new server then gave it the same name as the database that I backed up the restored
but now when i check it's got system tables rather then user tables
where did I go wrong?
Thanx.
I m a student and i m doing a project on Datamining. I have to mine data of a company. the issue is that the company uses Microsoft SQL server as there DBMS. they backed up there data and gave it to me with schema (schema is separate and data backup is a backup generated through the backup option in SQL server Enterprise Manager). Now i created tables through query analyzer (i think) and then through enterprise manager i tried to restore that backup on my personal pc and i get an error .

Hello everyone.
Pretty new to SQL Server and i've run into some trouble with something I am attempting to do.
Basically, we imported one of our databases on one of our SQL Servers to a new sql server that we just setup. That went ok with no problems. The DB is now in the new SQL Server.
Now, we need to copy the contents of a second DB from the original server into this new sql server DB. For reference:
We imported a DB Called: siebeldb
We want to import/overwrite another DB into that same DB. We backedup the DB and moved the file to the new SQL server.
So:
Import/Restore: sbprd01(a backup file) into siebeldb
I hope that makes sense.
I have the following command that I am trying to execute in the SQL Query analyzer:
RESTORE DATABASE siebeldb
FROM DISK='C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorDesktopsiebelprddb092509.bak'
WITH MOVE 'siebelprddb_Data'
TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDatasiebeldb_Data.mdf',
MOVE 'siebelprddb_Log'
TO 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDatasiebeldb_Log.mdf',
REPLACE
It is running right now, but seems to be running into errors. I just added the 'REPLACE' option according to the t-sql reference guide.
Does my script look ok? Am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks,.

if you can restore a database to Server B using Server A as the service. Meaning we would issue the command on Server A but somehow point to Server B as where we want the restore to happen.
The backup file would be in a location independent of both servers.
I would like to know if it is possible to make a backup of a database in a SQL Server 2005 server and restoring it in a SQL Server 2000 server.
Thanks a lot in advanced.
If I restore a SQL 2000 DB into 2005 it upgrades it for me.
When restoring a DB to a new server/instance of SQL, in SQL 2000 I had to carry out the sp_changedbowner procedure after the restore was complete.
Is the equivalent procedure when restoring a SQL 2000 DB to 2005 to go to the schema for the restored database, find the schema with the name of the SQL 2000 db owner and change the schema owner?
OR alternatively run the following query where mark is the db owner in 2000 and lladmin in the new user in 2005 ;
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON SCHEMA::mark TO lladmin;
GO

Hi!
I'm a beginner w ith SQL Express and am having some problems. I am using 2005 SP1 and installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express as well. I have a backup from a SQL Server 7.0 database that I am trying to restore into my database using the management studio. When I try to restore from the file into my database, I get the error,
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of the system database on the device D:GMBeta2Local.bak cannot be restored because it was created by a different version of the server (7.00.1063) than this server (9.00.3033). (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)
Is this true? Is there any way for me to get this data into my SQL Server 2005 express on my laptop?
