SQL Server 2014 :: Restoring Database Programmatically But Not Over Existing Live Database

Aug 6, 2015

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.

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Restoring A Database Even If No Database Or Backup Encryption

Sep 3, 2014

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'.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

SQL Server 2008 :: Recover Data In A Table - Restoring A Database Alongside Existing DB

Apr 17, 2015

I need to recover some data in a table but i'm not 100% sure the right way to do this safely.

I'll need to query the two tables to compare the before and after but how do i go about restoring/attaching the backup database to SQL without causing conflicts?

If I restore, I assume this would just overwrite which is obviously the worst thing that can happen. if i attach the backup, how does this affect the current live DB? how do i make sure that it's not getting accessed and mistaken for the live DB?

The SQL server is 2008 R2 running as a VM.

Restoring Database From Existing Database

Sep 16, 2004

It may sound like crazy question, But just curious to know if any one tested this scenario.

I was restoring an existing database from a backup. While the restore is in progress, I found i was restoring with old back, then I canceled the operation.

Now Will it restore the partial data or it rolls back the entire transaction and brings back to original status or it will currupt the database??

Reliable Method Of Restoring Over Existing Database

Dec 29, 2007



I have a process that restores a backup from a primary server to a backup server daily. When doing the restore, sometime it fails (for various reasons).

I have coded a job to Set offline, set online, an then do the restore:

RESTORE DATABASE [xxx] FROM DISK = N'D:Backup Stagingxxx.bak' WITH FILE = 1, NOUNLOAD, REPLACE, STATS = 10

Sometimes it fails to bring back online, other errors as well. Is there a reliable method of doing this?

Transferring Database From Local To Live Server

Feb 5, 2008

Hi,Ive been building a project on a local server and now need to transfer the files and database over to the live server. I have managed to transfer the files quite easily, however I am having a few problems transferring the database using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. When I try importing data to the live database, all the data and tables are brought across however some of the values for the fields are lost. For example all the fields which had a primary key no longer have one, and all the set default values for the fields are also lost. Ive been considering just going through every table in the database and re-entering the correct values for the fields, but this seems a bit time consuming and I'm also concerned about possible errors which could arise as there will be an inconsistency.Another method I tried was copying the SQL query across which created all the tables and the correct values for the fields. However when I tried to import the data an error was produced as you cannot import data into a table which has read only fields etc..Does anyone know a solution?Thanks for your time.

SQL Server 2008 :: Database In Single-user Mode / How To Change It Programmatically

Mar 10, 2015

Recently we had multiple production failures because one database was in single-user mode. I am trying to recreate this scenario to write a script that will kick out that connection that was holding database in single-user.In SSMS window 1 I run the following code:

use master
go
alter database test
set single_user
with rollback immediate

[code]....

Yes, it shows one record, but the database name is master, not test. And indeed, I run it from the context of master. Also tried sp_who, sp_who2, sys.dm_exec_requests - nothing works. For dm_exec_requests it shows nothing because it does not run at the current moment.Any other solutions to catch this SPID with a script?

Restoring A Database From A Different Server

Aug 30, 1999

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 :

Server: Msg 3257, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
There is insufficient free space on disk volume 'd:' to create the database. The database requires 3219128320 additional free bytes, while only 2047102976 bytes are available.
Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.

Error log shows,

(or)

How can I solve this problem ?

Does SSIS Database Copy Overwrite Existing User Permission To That Database?

Sep 24, 2007

Hi guys,

I've been assigned the task of setting up access to our SQL Server 2005 box. A consultant developing for us has accessing to 2 databases and I've set this up fine. It appears however that one of these databases is re-copied over to the server every night to keep data reasonably current.

I'm not interesting in changing this method as I'm not the maintainer (as yet).

Basically I would like to know if I've setup access to this database (it works fine), when the database is updated (with an SSIS package) the account seems to get deleted. Do the original permissions from the source database overwrite those of its destination?

Cheers

I m a student and i m doing a project on Datamining.

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 .

Trouble Restoring A Database To A Different Server

Sep 26, 2006

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,.

Restoring Database Leaves Me With (Restoring...) Message

Jan 9, 2007

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?

Managing Live And Develop Database

Dec 7, 2006

Hello,

I haven written a Windows program in Visual Studio 2005. This program stores data in and retrieves data from a SQL Express database. The customer is starting to use the program and filling the database with data. However the program is still under construction (new functionality will be added) and so is the database (new tables, views etc. will be added). 

Of course I could send the customer the new database, but than all data already entered will be lost.....

I'm thinking about using the SQL Management Studio Express and VS2005 to connect remotely to the database (a VPN connection is availabe) but worry about performance issues.... Or should I use some kind of replication / synchronization and how, because this is new to me. 

What is the best way to solve this 'problem' ?
