Cannot restore my ms-sql db locally

I have the same ms-sql db on 3 different ISP's (call them db1, db2, db3) and they all work fine on the 3 different e-commerce sites.

I am able to restore my db1 locally in SQL Express and run it from my local installation, however if I try to restore from db2 or db3 they error out, even though db2 and db3 are testing  installations of the same db only with different data.

Before I try to restore db2 or db3 I delete db1 and db1_LOG from the SLQ Express DATA folder. Is there anything else I should be doing?

Thanks,

Allen Cunningham

Hello,

   I have two projects I need to put on one laptop  - one which requires Sql Server 2012 R1, and the other which requires Sql Server 2012 Express. I have never used Express, and don't know if I need to download both Sql products? Or will Sql Server 2012 R1 contain all of the functionality needed to deploy a project that requires Sql Express 2012 running on a server on a network? I have MSDN licenses for Sql Server 2012 R1.  Will I need to create an instance for 2012 R1 and an instance for SqlExpress?  

Also, I am rebuilding the laptop from scratch.  I just installed Windows 7.  I also need VS2010 (for which I also have an MSDN license.)  Which should I install first? Sql Server or Visual Studio?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I've been poking around these forums for a while now, trying to figure out why I cannot get this to install on one of our machines.  I have tried all the suggestions microsoft has to offer.  I ran the standalone installer, that did not work.  I tried to start up in a clean boot mode with limited services running, that didn't work.  Here is a copy of the summary text.

Hi Folk's,

I have an installation of SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition on Windows Server 2012 R2.  The installation was successful with the exception I have no SQL icons in the start menu - so I can't run the SQL Server Management Studio without going and looking for the executable.

Does anyone know how I can re-generate the icons. I have tried doing a repair but this did not work.

Andy

I'm planning an update from SQL 2008 to 2012. I have a very heavy workload where most of the work is done using automatic processes (99.5%), and I would like to test all automatic processes before upgrading. I wanted to replay traces on TEST. when I upgraded from SQL 2000 to SQL 2008 I tried to use Profiler replay but it had so many issues that I just had to put a lot of effort in it in order to make it run, and eventually it didn't give me any usable results as it failed on many things (first on wrong DB_ID, then I had to recreate the whole environment (50 databases) back to the original point to time in order to run the traces on the right state) and so on.

I wonder if any body has experience with the Distribution Replay utility, and if it is a recommended tool to use.

We recently upgraded out Sql Server 2012 RTM instance to SP1 base configuration. After the upgrade, the Sql Server Service fails to start up clean. I checked the log, the failure is when Sql Server runs the final upgrade script. I added the trace flag -T902 to the startup parameters to prevent it from running the scripts and the service started. The Sql Server is now showing version Sp1 but it does not start if I remove the trace floa -T902. I also added trace flag -T3601 to print out the batch details in the log and noticed that the error "The current transaction cannot be committed and cannot support operations that write to the log file. Roll back the transaction." is created when running the below statement. If I run the below query seperately it runs fine. No sure how to get this fixed and service restarted without using the -T902 flag.  EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel @dbname = 'msdb', @new_cmptlevel = '100' Below is the last entries on the Error Log.  ---------------------------------- 2013-11-19 10:42:17.74 spid5s Starting execution of PRE_MSDB.SQL 2013-11-19 10:42:17.74 spid5s ---------------------------------- 2013-11-19 10:42:17.84 spid5s Error: 3930, Severity: 16, State: 1. 2013-11-19 10:42:17.84 spid5s The current transaction cannot be committed and cannot support operations that write to the log file.

Hello,

I had a trial SQL server database running SQL Server 2008 R2 enterprise edition. The trial expired and I have a SQL server 2008 SP1 standard edition with a key. So, I wanted to upgrade from the trial product to the new one: it's working and into the SQL installation logs, there is no error or failed status.

But I'm unable to recover the database of Dynamics CRM 2011 (not a productive environment, it's just for testing purposes). I cannot browse this database with Management Studio and get this error into logs: Database 'xxx'_MSCRM' cannot be started because some of the database functionality is not available in the current edition of SQL Server.

What should I do? Could it be a Dynamics CRM 2011 related error as this edition of SQL server should be compatible with Dynamics CRM 2011 or is it related to the edition I upgraded to?

Thank you

Hi,

I'm setting up two new SQL 2012 SP1 Standart Edition on two brand new VM's.

Setup goes smoothly until I select all the components and then I press Next.  The setup seems freezes showing "Please Wait":

Looking at the setup log I'm finding a error that never seen before and that I'm not able to find any valid references on the internet:

Hi,

I have two report servers [serverA and serverB].Both got reports server installed...
2005 SSRS on serverA

I want to move both SSRS servers to a completely new server which will run SSRS 2008 R2.

Is it possible to merge both servers together onto a new server?

Hello,

Has anyone successfully deployed SQL Management Studio 2012 with SCCM?

A couple of specific questions:

- Which folder from the SQL Media is required to ensure that only Management Studio deploys (we would like to limit the size of the deployment Package)?

- What command line options do we need to use to install the Advanced version of Management Studio with all of the Tools and Books Online.  I have found the following but there is not a clear distinction about what is required and what is optional: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx

- Can someone confirm the following command line options for machine that has 2008 R2 Management Studio on it?
Setup.exe /q /ACTION=upgrade /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /FEATURES=Tools

- Can someone confirm the following command line options for a new installation of 2012 Management Studio?
Setup.exe /q /ACTION=Install /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /FEATURES=Tools

- Do I need to use /PID for the product key if I am only installing Management Studio?

Thank you,

We will soon be upgrading a vendor's application which is currently running on SQL 2000.  At present, the application is only supported on SQL server 2008 R2.  I'm assuming that SQL 2008 R2 volume licensing is no longer available, and that we will need to purchase SQL 2012 and then use downgrade rights.

Our scenario:  Currently we have a single SQL 2000 server on a single network serving an application to about 40 workstations. In addition, there is a public facing website that connects to the database back end. Thus we are using the SQL per processor licensing. Nice and simple.

Upgrade scenario:  Small Business Server 2011 with premium add on (PAO) license gives us a license to use SQL 2008 R2, but with the public facing website in the mix, I believe the existing PAO license will not work - unknown number of CALs required. The version of SQL 2008 R2 included in the PAO is "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 for Small Business" which is actually "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard".  We plan on running the SQL server (2008 r2) inside an Intel based Hyper-v host.

Here is what makes sense to me: (Assuming that I must follow the 2012 licensing even though downgrading to 2008)

Server with dual quad core Intel Xeons running Hyper-v 2012:

1) Production SQL Server VM with 4 virtual cores - Running SQL 2008 R2 standard - single instance, under an open license SQL 2012 4 core license.

2) Test and other uses SQL Server VM - Running the PAO license of 2008 R2 - no connection to the public facing web server.

3) Another standby Hyper-v server with similar processors setup for migrating VMs when needed.

Under this scenario I would only need to purchase 4 core license. (Two core packs)

Does this seem a workable solution?  Would I be legal?

Thanks for reading this lengthy post

Hi,

I have upto 10 databases running on a single SQL Server instance on a single server.

I have read about best practice for storage and concluded the following...

1) Transaction Log on own RAID array (Raid 10) or at least on own physical disk
2) Data files(secondary filegroup) on own disk array (Raid 10 or 5)
3) Indexes on own filegroup (Raid 5)
4) Primary on Raid 1 or 5 (only system dbs)
5) Tempdb on Raid 5 or 10

So each of the above will be on separate physical disks?

Should I then have a separate disk for each secondary filegroup of each database? Or can they reside on the same disk?
How would this impact on performance?

And similar again with each Primary filegroup - should each one be on its own disk? In this case 10 separate disks for each primary filegroup?

Thanks!

I need a link to the evaluation edition of sql server 2008 R2 Standard edition. We currently use SQL server 2008 r2 express, but need to know if upgrading editions will solve our issues the way we need them to be. If so, then we will buy it! For now though we'd like to try the evaluation of the sql server 2008 r2 standard edition. I can't find a link for this download anywhere, maybe you could provide me with a 180 day serial or so? Then we could just buy the product from you if it works? I found this, but this is not what I need, for one, I need 2008 R2 not just 2008 and I also dont need enterprise, I just need the standard. Please don't refer me to 2012 editions, because I can't afford those types of prices at the moment even if we loved them, now 2008 r2 standard edition I will have enough for if the trial fairs well. Someone please help!
