Wierd issue of a missing master database - wierd because I would have thought this was a newbie topic but I've found nothing for it. I googled and had a 'decent' look through this forum and only found a bunch of topics on 'how to restore master database'.
I wouldn't have thought I need to restore the master database because my SSMS works fine and I can query the master database. I can also see it in the drop down list of available databases in the Query Designer toolbar. The problem is just that I can't see it in the list of databases. I can see all the other databases I've created, and I can see the master database in the DATA folder. But not in the SSMS.
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') GO
I just notice that my MASTER database has some user tables and user SP ..and I am thinking to move them to 1 new user database but I am worried it will break something ..
What should I do ?
Moreover I wonder why Transaction log of MASTER can be full ( The recovery model is simple ) It should be fine , isn’t it?
This is SQL Server 2008R2. On the SQL Server Configuration I'm unable to see SQL Server Browser. But when I check the services I can see the SQL Browser running.
Under SQL Server Configuration Manager > SQL Server Services
1. Full text 2. SQL Server (Default) 3. SQL Agent (Default)
But I'm unable to see the SQL Browser services here. What is the remedy?
I have a SP SQL server that uses Handshake for the web parts. I am getting an error on SharePoint about 'An error occurred during Service Master Key Decryption' inside the web parts of the page, everything else comes up, from what I have researched MS says go under SQL Configuration Manager and change the service account. Is this the correct course of action for this type of error? I am just having a hard time believing that changing the engines service account will stop this issue, this account is used on several SQL server with no issues.
We had some SAN issues and we dont have Transaction Log files for some databases.. The drive which was holding this Tlog files were missing.. How to bring back databases.
I also have a RESOURCES table of phrases (for translation purposes) similar to this:
res_id res_lang res_phrase AccessDenied en Access Denied
For some rows in the resources table I do not have all language codes present so am missing some translations for a given res_id.My question is what query can I use to determine the RESOURCE.RES_IDs for which I do not have a translation for.
For example I might have a de, en, cz translation for a phrase but not a pl phrase and I need to identofy those rows in order that I can obtain translations for the missing RESOURCE rows.
I need to investigate about what happened to our production server at the last weekend.i restored it to another server which is development. I restored it under a name "old_master_2015_07_10".
But if I run a query
SELECT * FROM [old_master_2015_07_10].[sys].[servers]
it actually selects from master.sys.servers, not from my old_master... In order to prove it, I created a linked server in this, development server, and if I run SELECT * FROM [old_master_2015_07_10].[sys].[servers], it selects it. And in database selection drop-down box I also selected old_ master_ 2015_07_10. What I think it apparently recognizes familiar names like sys.servers and redirects the query to the master.
What I can do to select really from old_master_2015_07_10 database? I already thought about renaming sys.servers to something different, but did not do it not to break something in master in case if SQL Server will run it in master as well.
We have a situation where SSRS reports are using Testuser account to run the SSRS reports for every user who has access to these reports.Now developers need the password for this login Testuser to proceed with their ssrs reports development, but its sort of mess that no one has password ever saved.So in case is there a way it can be retrieved or what should be an alternative if password cannot be retrieved for that login, as i believe changing the password will break the reports using the current password?
I downloaded and performed a full install of SQL Server Express 2008 Nov CTP. It was installed on a fresh installation of Windows Vista Enterprise x64.
During setup, I checked the 'Client Tools' box which has the description: "Includes management and development tools: SQL Server Management Studio, SQL Server Configuration Manager, SQL Server Profiler, and Database Engine Tuning Advisor"
The installation ran fine with no errors. After install I looked for the Management Studio but couldnt find it anywhere. No SQL Server Profiler or Database Tuning Advisor either. The only tool that appears to have installed is the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
If I check my Start Menu, the only 2008 items that exist are Microsoft SQL Server 2008 >
Configuration Tools >
SQL Server Configuration Manager SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting SQL Server Installation Center

I recently moved the db to a new server using detach and reattach sproc. However the moved db in its new location does not have any of the tables or sprocs that I created. As I understand it, information on the databases on the server is stored in the master db. Could it be that the tables are not showing up because the master db on the new server knows nothing of the new db? Must I also copy the master from the other server, perhaps? Has anybody come across this before? TIA D. Lewis

Hi,We have a situation where we want to move our current databaseserver to a different hardware and rename the server.If we change the Physical server name, do we have to go thru the wholeprocess of changing it in sql server by running sp_dropserver,sp_addserver?Can we have an alias for the server name in DNS and can sql serverresolve the server name internally by going thru DNS?For eg: Our current database server name is FFSQL-PRD01. We have itregistered in EM as FFSQL-PRD01. Now we renamed the server toSTLSQL-PRD01, and added an entry in DNS for STLSQL-PRD01 with alias ofFFSQL-PRD01( the same old name as alias). After doing this when I goto EM and click on FFSQL-PRD01 would it give me an error? or can itresolve the server name by going to DNS.When you install SQl server the default instance has to be the physicalserver name, Why? Is the physical server name stored in Masterdatabase( SYSSERVERS table)?Thanks for your help.Geetha
Hi,We are planning to create a prod environment on our Dev server, bycreating a new named instance on DEV. Our prod server is running onsql enterprise edition 64bit and dev on SQl enterprise 32bit.Could we copy all the databases from prod server includingMaster,msdb,model onto our dev server, and bring up all the databases?Does Master store information about the version of SQl server?Thanks for your helpGG
I have never done this in a DR scenario before. What I used to do in SQL Server 2000 was apply the logins to a new installation of SQL 2000 then recover the application databases. I'm using 2005 now and I'm in a different mode where I would like to be able to recover the system (master, model, msdb) to a different server with the same SQL Server 2005 build ---- 9.0.3054. I'm following the procedures from Microsoft where they state to place the instance in single user mode first then invoke SQLCMD then perform the restore. Sounds simple enough. C:> SQLCMD > RESTORE DATABASE MASTER from DISK = 'Z:MINIDRmaster_backup_200804200315.bak'
The console is coming back with a message that the backup set holds a backup other than the existing master database. So I suppose that this cannot be done and is only intended for recovery on the same instance.
I have a fresh install of sqlExpress and Management Studio Express on my test server. I want to restore my master database from backup.
From the command prompt I set the Sqlservr -s SQLEXPRESS -m
Then I opened another comand prompt and ran my SQLCMD script to restore the Master Database.
here is the sql script: RESTORE DATABASE [Master] FROM DISK = N'E:COPLEYNEWSDATABASEBACKUPMaster.bak' WITH FILE = 1, MOVE N'mastlog' TO N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDATAMaster_1.ldf', NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 GO
I recieve the following error.
Msg 3154, Level 16, State 4, Server COPLEYNEWSSQLEXPRESS, Line 1 The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing 'Master' dat abase. Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Server COPLEYNEWSSQLEXPRESS, Line 1
How do I restore a Master Database on SQL Express?
When exporting SSRS 2008 R2 report to an csv or excel file not all the rows are being exported. The number of rows is less then 500 and it seems to be a pretty straight forward export.
SELECT prin.[name] [User], sec.state_desc + ' ' + sec.permission_name [Permission] FROM [sys].[database_permissions] sec JOIN [sys].[database_principals] prin ON sec.[grantee_principal_id] = prin.[principal_id] WHERE sec.class = 0 ORDER BY [User], [Permission];
but the results are this: 2 columns - User and Permission
User Permission User1 GRANT CONNECT User2 GRANT CONNECT
IS there a way in SQL Server (2005/2008/2012) to run a script against a Database that will show all users that have permissions to that Database and the type of permissions?
I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. When i create a new database (using the "New Database" dialog) i cannot set the new database's compatibility level to "SQL Server 2005(90)" because this option is not in the "dropdown list". the only items shown are: "SQL Server 7.0(70)" and "SQL Server 2000(80)". I set the owner to "sa". How do i get "SQL Server 2005(90)" in my "compatibility level" drop down list? Is this an installation option that i missed? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

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.
1) I can't get the 'copy database' function to work from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2005. I connect ok. Everything goes to the last step and then it fails.2) I cant get a SQL server 2008 backup to restore on SQL SEerver 2005 either. The only way I know that works is to script the creation of all tables then export and import. This does work. How can I get the 'entire' database, structure and data, from 2008 to 2005? ThanksSQL newbie.
I was having issue with one of my databases in SQL EXPRESS. It is offline this morning …it said “Database 'MyDB' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. When I checked the error log ..it only said “FCB::Open failed: Could not open file D:DatabasesMyDB_Data.mdf for file number 1. OS error: 32(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15100).
I did alter database offline and and online ..it works for me( I can access the database again but I need to find the cause of this issue )I checked the max memory setting is still by default .. not limited for SQL ..it could be the cause ?
Just heard about the coming release of SQL Server 2008. Anyone here got some ideas on what are significant new features in SQL Server 2008 Database Engine compared to SQL Server 2005 Database Engine? Would be very interesting to know that.
I am task with identifying the source database name, id, and server name for each staging table that I create. I need to add this to a derived column on all staging tables created from merging same tables on different servers together.
When doing a Merge Join, there is no way to identify the source of data so I would like to see if data came from one database more than the other servers or if their are duplicates across servers.
The thing that bugs me about SSIS Data Flow task is there is no way to do an easy Execute SQL Task after I select my ADO.NET Source to get this information because my connection string is dynamic and there is no way of know which data source is being picked up at runtime.
For Example I have Products table on Server 1 and 2:
Server 2 has more Products and would like to join the two together to create a staging table.
