AUto-renaming mdf & ldf filenames when restoring a database with SQL Management Studio

Hi!
I am using SQL Management Studio 2014 and I am experiencing some problems when restoring a database backup.
I have a SQL Server 2008R2 & SQL Server 2012 instances.
On the 2012 instance, when I restore a database and rename it into a new name, the mdf and ldf files get automatically renamed into the new database name : Great, this is the behavior that I expect.
On the 2008R2 instance, the mdf and ldf files don't automatically get renamed to match the new database name and I have to perform the renaming manually - pretty annoying.
Has anybody experienced this problem ? If yes, do you know of a fix ?
Thank you
Frederic

Hi,
You are using an external tool (SSMS GUI interface) which give you some behaviors like default names. this is very simple, just use a simple query to restore the database and dont use the GUI if you dont like its behavior
(this behavior might change from time to time). You can use the profiler to make sure what is
the real query that the SSMS sent to the server.

Auto renaming of the tags when adding new folder

When I want to add new music to iTunes list, I open the file menu and select "add new folder".
That way it imports the songs in that folder. The problem is that it renames some the info of albums. Instead of the name of the track, there appears "artist - name of the track". Funny thing is that when I click on "Edit information" it switches back to the correct name.
But if I add a folder with 500 songs, and I have to click "Edit inforrmation" on half of them to make them use the correct name it isn't funny anymore.
If the name isn't "corrected" when I sync the iPod, the incorrect names are uploaded.
Is there any way to correct that and make iTunes use the correct name at once?
Note that I'm using the spanish version of iTunes and the names of the menus and options are a translation and may not be accurate
Thanks for your help
AMD 64 Windows XP Using spanish version of iTunes

I noticed something similar:
If you change tags of a file which is in your iTunes library in another program (e.g. Winamp), you have to edit the file in iTunes afterwards to make these changes "active". It seems that iTunes makes its own database with the tag informations (otherwise everything would be much slower like in Winamp, which is terribly slow with my database of 28.000 mp3-files) and only updates this database when you edit the file.
I don't know why this happens with newly imported files but a possible solution to your problem which isn't too time consuming would be to select all the newly imported files and right click and edit the information for all of them, change nothing and exit again.

How to get the filename when parsing a file with d3l

All
After some time have experience with interconnect, IStudio I need the following info. Is it possible to get the filename when parsing a flat file using a d3l? This is needed because we need to store the filename together with the data into the database.

When restoring a session with many tabs, how do I stop the tabs from reloading even when I am offline?

In version 4, when restoring a previous session with many tabs (about 80) in offline mode with no internet connection, the tabs will realise there is no connection and will not load. In version 5, the tabs will constantly try to reload no matter how long the internet connection is not active and as soon as I connect to the internet, all the tabs try to load and will cause huge RAM usage and I have to shut down the browser. I want version 5 to be like 3 and 4 and not try reload all the tabs once it has detected no connection.

Hello there, lalaysa.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for unlinking your old phone number from your device:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Trying to restore a database with RMAN in new server

Hello,
Database: Oracle 10gR2
O/S: Windows Server 2003
My RMAN backuppieces are stored in a network drive:
\\old_location\FULL
and
\\old_location\INC
I'm trying to restore a whole database with RMAN in another server from my FULL backup.
For that, I copy all backuppieces files
from: \\old_location\FULL
to new server: D:\new_location\
Also I created the relevant folder hierarchy under <ORACLE_BASE> directory, as follows:
a. Create BDUMP, CDUMP, and UDUMP directories under '<ORACLE_ BASE>\admin' directory
b. Create <DATABASE_NAME> directory under '<ORACLE_BASE>\oradata' directory
c. pfile.ora and controlfile (CTL_MTDPROD_2308_20120401_1.CTL) are backup from original database and they are in D:\new_location\
d. I copied pfile.ora and controlfile to folder: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\database\
I started creating an instance in new server from scratch:
C:\>oradim -new -sid MTDPROD -intpwd mtdprod
C:\> SET ORACLE_SID=MTDPROD
C:\> rman
RMAN> connect target sys
RMAN> SET DBID=21692876873
RMAN> STARTUP force nomount PFILE=C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\database\init_mtdprod.ora
RMAN> restore controlfile from 'C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\database\CTL_MTDPROD_2308_20120401_1.CTL';
RMAN> alter database mount;
#Since I want to read my backuppieces from D:\new_location and not from \\old_location\FULL then I catalog and restore like:
RMAN> catalog start with 'D:\new_location\';
RMAN> restore database;

Questions:
1. RMAN still reads from old_location. The only way to avoid that would be deleting all files from \\old_location\FULL ?
2. The message "failover to piece handle=D:\new_location\...." indicates that that file is not usefull? I just copy them from old_location to new_location... how can they get useless?
I suspect there is something in controlfile that redirects to \\old_location\FULL\ and doesn't let to read from D:\new_location\
Please, advice.

You may want to check the output of RESTORE DATABASE PREVIEW command, which will just report which backup files it uses without actually restoring thhe DB.

Issue when connecting to database from SQL Developer tool

Hi,
I was trying to connect to a remote oracle database 10.2.0.5 (hosted at window 2008 R2 server) from my local SQL Developer tool.
When setting up connection in SQL Developer tool, I was able to connect to the database by selecting TNS (Network Allias).
However, it does not work when I choose Basic type with the same information (HOST, PORT, SID).
What is the difference between TNS and Basic setting option? Please advise and assist.
Thanks.
Regards,
Jia

Hi JimSmith,
Thanks for reply.
TNS entry as below:
ORCL_DB =
(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 91.198.252.83)(PORT = 1521)) )
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = orcl) (SERVER = DEDICATED) ) )
It works fine if I choose TNS (Network Allias: ORCL_DB).
For the Basic setting:
Hostname = 91.198.252.83
Port = 1521
SID = orcl
The error I received when connecting to db based on Basic option is Failure -Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection.
Below are the entries of SQLnet.ora. Any entry should I add into sqlnet.ora?
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
Appreciate your comment.
Thanks.
Regards,
Jia

Lost contacts when restoring new phone with old phones back up?

I have just bought a new lap top and I have transferred all my files over to it. I backed up my I phone 3gs and then restored my new I phone 4gs with the back up. Everything went well except my contacts and apps are not on my new 4gs? Mail settings, old text messages pictures etc all there? Where can I find them?
The second problem I had is I downloaded the latest software on my I phone 4 it has lost all my contacts after finishing the download? Where have they gone?

If your contacts are still on your 3GS download the free app My Contacts backup on your 3GS. It will back up your contacts and an email attachment. Send this email to yourself and open it on your 4S. Tap the attachment to import your contacts to your 4S. Don't know what to tell you about your iPhone 4; your contacts there are probably gone. If they are the same as the ones on your 3GS, open the same email and import your contacts on your iPhone 4.

Error when creating a database on SQL Server 2012(Virtual Machine)

Hi,
I create a virtual machine on VMWare Workstation 10, then install Windows 7(32bit), then install SQL Server 2012 Enterprise version.
Then I write a Visual C++2008 program and using ADO to connect to the local SQL Server, with the connection string below:
“Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=(local);Integrated Security=SSPI;”
The connect succeed, then I try to create a new SQL Server database by calling:
m_pConnection->Execute(_T(“create database MyDatabase on primary (name = ‘MyDatabase’, filename = ‘E:\\MyDatabase.mdf’)”), NULL, 0);
where E: is a USB drive plugged in.
When running the above statement, I can even see the MyDatabase.mdf file is being created, but finally get an error and error number is 80040e31 when checking the error from m_pConnection, after analyzing the com exception, we find it reports the error as
“IDispath error #3121”. Both errors seem to indicate a “Timeout error”.
Then I try to create the database on the local drive in the virtual machine, as follows:
m_pConnection->Execute(_T(“create database MyDatabase on primary (name = ‘MyDatabase’, filename = ‘C:\\MyDatabase.mdf’)”), NULL, 0);
Then I get error number: 80040e14 from m_pConnection, and com error is “IDispath error #3092”
What is the problem?
Thanks

Restore a Database with Differential

Hello All,
I'm new to this forum after read a few question error it given me little bit more understanding. But here's my problem I was create a database implement some tables than make a 'Full Backup' and input information on the table before make a 'Differential Backup'. I don't want restore a full database and just want to recovery specific table were deleted or removed. Please help........
Message show error:
Restore failed for Server 'SALES18'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Additional information:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The log or differential backup cannot be restored because no files are ready to rollforward.
Thank you very much.

SQL Server Writer service When running, Database Engine locks and has exclusive access to the data files and also put a entry in "backup" table of MSDB databse which update the First and last LSN number against each database instance on MS SQL server.So the differentails backup becomes invalid becuase it seeks its full backup thru LSN number.
SO you get this messages so SQL Server Writer service should shutdown during wohle day so that it could not become invalid ur differential backup.
example :
                   your first backup thru SQL backup utility
                   DatabaseName                     First LSN      LastLSN
                   AAA_Database                     000012345   000012346
Differentail Backup off AAA_database
                    DatabaseName                     First LSN      LastLSN
                   AAA_Database                     000012347 000012348
your NTbackup utulity is running and SP2 of SQL and windows server has installed
                  DatabaseName                     First LSN      LastLSN
                   AAA_Database                     000012349 000012340
when urestore Differenail backup then u got the message deescribed in this thread. Because sql server detects that a latest full backup has done.
Solution is only shutdown ur SQL Writer Service.

Runtime Error when trying to connect with Media manager

Whenever I try to connect to the Media manager with Blackberry Desktop manager, I get "Runtime Error"!
It says: "Program:C:\Program Files\Roxio\MediaManager 9\MediaManager9.exe" Then it says "This application has requested the Runtime to termnate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."
I seached and learned it might be that roxio is not running and to enable it going through the Start menu "msconfig".....it shows roxio "stopped" but also enabled.
Help! What next? This didn't begin happening until I followed a prompt telling me to update!

dear JLK, I must agree with herb: 'google is your friend'.
To give you a few pointers:
- The nmap output shows no 3389/tcp open, which means you will not be able to use the terminal server on that host, even if it where active.
- Check if the windows host you are trying to reach has a terminal server running (which is the windows server component which is responsible for serving remote desktop connectons), or has windows desktop sharing enabled (which is the windows client/non server variant responsible for serving remote desktop connections)
- Check if the windows host your are trying to reach has a firewall of some sort (the windows embedded one, or a 3rd party one) enabled.
- Also, can other machines use remote desktop on that machine?

Hi
We have a large server with sql 2005, sql2008 r2 and sql2012 installed side-by side.
We no longer use 2005 and would like to remove it from the server, is this safe to do on a standard uninstall or can it have a detrimental affect on the 2008 and 2012 installations?
