Remote connect to Windows Internal Database from another server

Hello,
I have a WSUS server which has Windows Internal Database installed. Now If I have to manage the database using SQL Server management studio, then I need to connect using the Server Name as \\.\pipe\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##SSEE\sql\query
Now, if I want to connect to the server that has Windows Internal Database installed, but does not have SQL Server Management Studio installed, then how to connect?
Please advice. Thanks in advance.
Rajiv

You can either install SQL Server management Studio or SQLCMD and then work with Windows Internal Database
Both of these are freely downloadable from microsoft website.
Please find the links for SQL 2014
Management Studio
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=42299
You can download one of these based on 32/64bit
MgmtStudio 32BIT\SQLManagementStudio_x86_ENU.exe

How Can I Copy an database from one server to another ?

Hi All,
I need to copy an existing database from one server to another server. I want to maintain all the settings from the source database.
I´m not used to Oracle database and i´d be glad for any help.
How can I do this ? Do I need to backup and restore in the other server ? Do I need to copy files from one server to another ?
Any help will be really appreciated.
Carlos.

I think a simpler approach, other than using RMAN, is to do a database export from the source and then import them into the target database. But you will need to do some ground work on the target, i.e, create database, tablespaces, and schemas (with their name the same as those in the source database.)

Migration databases from one server to another

Hi All
I want to migrate our 8 production databases from one server to another server. these are in RAC .Details are below
OLD SERVER: -
OS: REDHAT LINUX 3
ORACLE: ORACLE 10gR1
FILE SYSTEM : OCFS
STORAGE: SAN
Its a RAC databases
NEW SERVER: -
OS: REDHAT LINUX 5
ORACLE: ORACLE 11g R2
FILE SYSTEM:ASM
STORAGE:SAN ( fresh one)
Its also RAC DATABASES
So please tell me the best method to migrate 8 databases from old server to another server . all databases size are not more than 50 GB.
All servers details are above .please let me know if you require any other details
please reply soon we have to do it on urgent basis

Since all your databases are small (< 50G), I would recommend using expdp/impdp - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17222/expimp.htm - as this will provide several advantages as listed in the document.

Connect to a oracle database in another server

Hi people,
I have to read some tables on a oracle database in another server.
I know that I will have to use EXEC SQL command, but how can I make the connection between SAP and that oracle database.
I have seen something about the DBCON table, but I am not sure if I can connect on another server from ther and how...
Thanks...

Migration of Content Databases from SP 2010 "Domain A" to SP 2013 "Domain B"

Hi there,
I am in the process of planning the migration of my SP Foundation 2010 farm to SP Server 2013. I have tested this previously with the following steps and was successful:-
Backup DB on SP2010 SQL
Restore DB on SP 2013 SQL
Run Test-SPContentDatabase –Name WSS_Content_*** –WebApplication
https://intranet.***.com.au
Mount the DB - Mount-SPContentDatabase –Name WSS_Content_*** –DatabaseServer DomainA\SHAREPOINT –WebApplication
https://intranet.***.com.au
Convert Web App - Convert-SPWebApplication -Identity
https://intranet.***.com.au -To Claims -RetainPermissions –Force
Now, the goal posts have changed and we may be moving to another domain. Now, when I run
Test-SPContentDatabase command in Step 3 above on Domain B, I get the error Login Failed for 'DomainA\SP_admin'
- which makes sense.
What would be the best way to restore a DB to a new domain?

you have to perform the same steps....you need new account on the new Domain. then you have to run the migrate user command.

Create a new site collection in different farm and connect to different content database from decommissioned farm

I wish to bring down a SharePoint farm1 and create a new site collection in an existing farm2 and connect the new site collection in farm2 to the content db in farm1.
Is this possible and how should I do it?

it is possible to copy/move a content database from one farm to another... so long as the NEW farm is at least as up-to-date (version/service packs/updates/hotfixes/etc) as the OLD farm.
you can move a site collection into its own content database.
hopefully that answers your question.

Loader will load images from another server, but then we get error on Bitmap operation

I'm developing an app that currently is using Loader to get images from another server. This shouldn't currently work since we are still waiting for the owner of that server to put a crossdomain file in place. However, it does work -- sort of .
Loader can load the images fine, without an error. But then the app has a feature in which we are making a larger duplicate of the image to display in a sidebar, we do this in this manner:
var myBitmap:Bitmap = Bitmap(loader.content);
and when this runs we get a Flash player security error 2122, sandbox violation.
So while I'm hoping all this will fix itself when the crossdomain.xml file is put in place, I'm confused as to why we only get the sandbox error when we make a Bitmap from the image, and not when we initially try to retrieve the image.
(Incidentally: is there a better way to make a "copy" of an image loaded by a Loader, and then change its width and height for simultaneous display in another part of the stage? I don't need to change its actual dimensions -- I just need to change its display width and height.)
Thanks!

The sandbox allows viewing, not editing from another server without a crossdomain.
So, when you try to load it up, it loads it, but "read-only" and gives you an error when you try to "edit" it by making a new Bitmap out of it.
This should resolve itself once that crossdomain is in place.
||EDIT||
I just realized I should clarify my statement a little more.
When you load images from another server without a crossdomain, it allows the load for display only. When you try to load data, it will fail. This is because, XML data, or some other type of data is editable by default, and images are only viewable by default. So, the image fails when you try to convert it into an editable form.

Migrating master database to another server (DR testing).

So I was tasked to do some DR testing, by moving one of our environments to another. I was tasked with moving 1 user database called Vant, master, and msdb. I managed to accomplish it, but it wasn't easy and a little messy. I'm looking
to see if you guys can help me clean my steps up a bit.
Environment backgroud.
Both environments are SQL Server 2012 Enterprise
Build: 11.0.3368
Instance Name: Default
Process
I took all 3 backups from my source server and placed it in a network location where my destination server can access.
1) I began by trying to restore master database by placing my instance in single user mode, backup restored.
2) when I removed the destination instance from single user mode, the service would not start, did this a couple of times, but no luck.
3)I also made sure the startup parameters were pointing to the right folder location
4)Then I thought, maybe it was the folder location where it restored to, that was causing the problem because they were different; so I went ahead moved master into a folder location that would match the source, i also changed the startup parameters, but
the instance still wouldn't start
5)So then I checked the event logs, and noticed that SQL Server was looking for databases that were on the Source Instance, as well as some of the system databases that I hadn't moved the files to the new folder location
6)Restored the original master database from the destination server so that I could get the service going
7) moved all the system databases from the old folder location on the destination server to where master now resided; created two empty databases with the names the event log was looking for.
8)Restored master database from source server, and the service finally started up
9)When I went into SSMS, I noticed that the two empty databases I created were in recovery pending
10) dropped one of the databases I didn't need, and restored the Vant database, as well as msdb; everything looks good.
So there it is, I totally don't feel good about this. I don't like the fact that the databases came up in "recovery pending" and also that I had to create the databases it was looking for before I could restore and start up the service, but
maybe that's just how it is. Any advice you can give me on how to clean this up would be much appreciated.

Hi,
Did you reffered to Microsoft doumentation on how to move system databses.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345408(v=sql.110).aspx
For user databse backup when you restore on different server you use with move option to physically give location to mdf and ldf files.
Moving system database is little tricky

How to insert data into local database from oracle server

I am new in C#.
I am trying to design a local database in my C# project and I am trying to sync my database with our oracle server. I can login using oracle server. But I can't insert data into my local database from oracle server.
anybody can help me ...............
thanks..............................

You can use SSIS package for that
Start a new Integration Services project in Business Intelligence Development Studio/ SSDT. Add a new SSIS package with a data flow task. Add a OLEDB source to connect to Oracle server and add a OLEDB Destination to connect to your local database.
Select tables for source and destination. On executing package source data will get transferred to your local database.

Ora 12154 error when trying to add a database to VS Server Explorer

Hi Everyone,
I get the Ora 12154 error when trying to add a database to VS Server Explorer.
How do I get around this problem.
The database service is running and I can connect to the database with pl/sql.
I can also tnsping the database and that is also ok.
Looks like a problem with the odp.net software.
I am running the 32 bit Oracle 11g on a Windows7 Home Premium 64 bit PC.
I am new to this stuff so please help me step by step.
Thanks.

Hi J. B.
I have a question related to this. After you told me about the //host:1521/database alias I tried it in a VB 2008 program and it worked and returned data. At least I know that it can be used in a VB program without issues. I just now need to be able to add a connection with the Server Explorer.
Anyway here is the VB coding I used. I'm new to this and still learning:
Imports Oracle.DataAccess.Client ' Visual Basic ODP.NET Oracle managed provider
Public Class Form1
' String to connect to the database.
Dim strConnectionString As String = _
"Data Source=//emad-pc:1521/emadeva;User ID=scott;Password=tiger;" '
' Associate the connection string with a connection object.
Dim objOracleConnection As New OracleConnection(strConnectionString)
' SQL query for returning data rows.
Dim strSqlQuery As String = _
"Select dname, deptno " & _
"From dept " & _
"Where deptno = 10" '
' Command object to make this query work.
Dim objOracleCommand As New OracleCommand(strSqlQuery, objOracleConnection)
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' Identify what type of command is being used.
objOracleCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text
Try
objOracleConnection.Open()
' Set up a Data Reader and load it with data.
Dim objOracleDataReader As OracleDataReader = _
objOracleCommand.ExecuteReader()
objOracleDataReader.Read()
' Convert the department number to a string.
lblDepartmentNumberFromOracle.Text = _
CStr(objOracleDataReader.Item("deptno"))
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error")
End Try
End Sub
End Class
I still want to thank you for the help you are providing.
Truly,

Query for UDT over different Databases on another Server

Hi,
i want to use via query an UDT from another Database on another Server...
nomal Tables can be Used like this:
select* from [SVR-Name].Database.dbo.OITM
But if I try the same for an UDT:
select* from [SVR-Name].Database.dbo.[@UDT]
it doesn't work.
Does anyone have an Idea for me ?
Thx.
Markus

Thx for your replies,
a query over different Databases on the same SQL-Server is no problem.
... but I want to select an UDT which is on another SAP-Server (other location) in a different Database.
Servername = SVR
Database = LIVE
UDT = [@portfolio]
select * from [SVR].LIVE.DBO.[@portfolio]
doesn't work.
(normal query to reach OITM for example:
select * from [SVR].LIVE.DBO.OITM
works fine !!

Coying Database to another server

Dear All,
I want trying to copy database to another server but i got error
Login failed for user 'domainName\ComputerName$'
I already use domain administrator to both of server and already create user login in both server.
Both of the login is domain administrator and same user for the server. I use SQL Server Standard Edition 2008 R2.
How can i fix this error?
please help
Best regards,
Surbakti

Hi Surbakti,
According to your description, if you copy a local database to a remote SQL Server via the copy database wizard, we need to verify if the SQL Server Agent Service account does have sufficient access
rights to the remote server. See:
Use the Copy Database Wizard
Usually, I suggest the better option is to perform the full backup of the database and then copy the backup file manually to remote computer. Once done, restore the database from this backup file on
remote computer.
There is detail about move databases between computers that are running SQL Server instance.

Must Move 10g Database To Another Server

Good morning,
Well, right in the middle of my implementation, I've learned that we must change to a different physical server for the 10 g database. Wonderful.
I have installed several patches. Will a consistent backup of the db capture those patches? After I restore to the new server, will I have to reinstall all patches?
Don't most patchsets modify the Oracle instance as well as the database?
Thanks, John

Have you tried the clone features? On DBCA, there is a clone database option. If you use Enterprise Grid Control, they have a clone database from one server to another and you can choose different instance name and different file structure. This has the additional benefits of no need to bring down the current database. Also you can try the clone.pl to clone the oracle_Home. I have not tried one with patches but I guess it will include every thing under ORACLE_HOME. It will handle most but I still have trouble with the data control setup but then I recreate everything from scratch
