Corrupted database in SQL Anywhere 9

Hi.
Yesterday, one of our databases corrupted.
When I try start the service from Sybase central, the service never starts and does not show any error messages either.
The thing I did was to remove all databases from the service and started adding them one by one, that's how I pinpointed the issue to a single database file.
Could some direct me to a procedure to repair the database file?
Thanks!!!

Hi Juan,
Do you know what is happening on the server if you're just trying to start the one problematic database? It would be best if you could point this information to a diagnostic file and post it here so that we can make further suggestions:
dbsrv9 -o console.txt baddatabase.db
If the database is undergoing automatic recovery, it would be best for you to wait for it to finish.
Going to your backup and recovery plan is the next best thing to do so you don't lose any data on your database. You should be able to apply the transaction log from the current database to bring the backup file up-to-date with the current changes.
Finally, you can try rebuilding the database to see if it's a structural problem. If the database is really corrupted, you may have to try to resort to salvaging data from what you can still access and create a new database from the remaining information (See SAP KBA 1959030 - How To Salvage Data When There are Corrupt Pages in the Database).

Afaria Database on SQL Anywhere 12 and Replication

Hi,
I have Afaria Farm and I Use SQL Anywhere 12 as database server.
I want to replicate this database to another SQL Anywhere 12 Server.
Which one is good way to replication
And can I have some documentation that tells this step by step?
I am not a DB admin.

Hello Tevfik,
I think we need to understand your requirements a little more: why are you interested in SQL Anywhere replication and what are your plans for it?
If you're looking for an always-available SQL Anywhere database for Afaria, there is high-availability (database mirroring). This will allow you to maintain two database server partners (with a third arbiter), where the primary has read/write capabilities and the mirror partner is read-only. There is a tutorial here in the documentation.
If you're looking for a reporting server to do read-only queries for reporting, there is read-only scale out (copy nodes). The tutorial can be found here.
Are you trying to keep a backup copy of your database via replication? If so, you may want to consider live backups (see the wiki), or just regular backups (also see the wiki). Regular backups should still be used in conjunction with any of the high-availability scenarios described above.
If you're really looking for data movement, particularly to multiple database nodes, there is synchronization to other enterprise databases (including SQL Anywhere, but this also includes HANA, ASE, IQ, etc.) with MobiLink and replication to other SQL Anywhere databases, via SQL Remote. MobiLink uses a session-based HTTP or TCP/IP connection as a transport, while SQL Remote can use offline FILE, FTP, SMTP, and online HTTP as a transport.
You may read elsewhere that historically SQL Anywhere can also be used with SQL Remote for Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) or Replication Server for replication, but both of these methods have been deprecated and removed in current versions and are not supported by development.

ODBC Error when migrating from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Anywhere 12

Hello community,
i have the following requirement:
I need to migrate a Database with some Demo data into a SQL Anywhere 12 Database. The SQL Anywhere 12 Database is part of the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP7 installation and came with the same as OEM Product.
The Environment looks like the following:
DB1 is a MS SQL Server 2008 R2 64 Bit running on Windows Server 2008 R2 64 Bit.
DB2 is the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP7 installation with the shipped SQL Anywhere 12 (12.0.1.3873) Database running on SLES 11.3 64 Bit
CL1 is my Windows 7 64 Bit Client where Sybase Central is installed in 64 Bit. On CL1 i have a 64 Bit System ODBC Connection connecting to DB1 successfully.
Basically i followed the following (pretty straight forward) tutorial:
Migrating a SQL Server Database to SQL Anywhere White Paper-Technical: Mobile Enterprise, Database Management iAnywhere …
When i want to test the connection from inside Sybase Central (During the migration process) i receive the following error:
From inside Sybase Central my connection looks as follows:
And from the ODBC Manager the connection looks as follows:
Personally i found is strange that the Sybase ODBC Driver Manager drops the error. I would expect that the MS SQL ODBC Driver Manager pops the error it its related to the ODBC DSN to DB1.
Any ideas?
Thanks and Regards
-Seb.

Hi Sebastian,
The data from the SQL Server database must be migrated to an existing SQL Anywhere database. Could you please tell me where this SQL Anywhere database resides and how are you connecting to it?
The error message is saying that the connection to the SQL Anywhere remote database server is failing, as opposed to the connection to the SQL Server database.

SQL Anywhere 11 databases are getting corrupt

Hi
We are having problems with databases that are getting corrupted.
We have a server that runs a SQL Anywhere 11 database. (the consolidated database)
Beside that, we have about 15 remote databases that run on the laptops of our mobile workforces.
To keep all databases in sync, we have setup a two-way server-to-laptop replication.
For the replication process we use “SQL Remote”.
Each laptop should replicate his data once in about 1 or 2 weeks.
For exchanging the messages we use the message type “file”.
This year we already experienced 6 times that a remote database got corrupt after replication. (after running dbremote.exe).
The log file of the dbremote utility does NOT show any errors, the replication seems to be finished without any problems.
But after this, it’s not possible anymore to connect to the database, because of the following assertion error:
[Sybase][ODBC Driver][SQL Anywhere]Internal database error *** ERROR *** Assertion failed: 201501 (11.0.1.2376)
Page 0x0:0x7182d1 for requested record not a table page -- transaction rolled back
Error code=-301
SQL state=HY000
Can someone tell me more about this error?
What goes wrong and why?
Or does someone has some tips on how to prevent this or tips on how I can do some analyzing myself to see what exactly got broken in the database?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Krenton,
Page 0x0:0x7182d1 for requested record not a table page -- transaction rolled back
Error code=-301
SQL state=HY000
Can someone tell me more about this error?
Specifically, the page at offset 0x7182d1 in database (So if you have a 4KB page size, this would be byte offset 7439057 x 4096 = 30470377472 into the database) in 0x0 (the main database running) has a page header that indicates that the data on the page is not table data. We don't know what it is, but the signature for table information connected to the table you're scanning is 'not as it should be'.
What goes wrong and why?
In the real world, lots of things can go wrong. I list some of the possible things on this question here on the SQL Anywhere forum. This list can include software bugs, but can also include instances where the media is not respecting write-through or write-ordering - see http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-34090 (SQL Anywhere I/O Requirements for Linux and Windows) for more details.
There are also known instances where Intel drivers are not set with the correct write-through settings. The details of this are in the documentation: DocCommentXchange (Improving Robustness on Intel storage drivers).
Technical Support should still provide assistance. If the problem is a newly-discovered bug in SQL Anywhere 11, their advice will be to apply a more recent EBF or upgrade to a new version. However, that is unlikely in this case.
Breck is correct - it would probably be best to take a look at the database file in technical support for more clues as to what's happening here. With the current information, it's hard to say more than "something was not correct at the time the page was looked at by the database server."

Reading data from Sybase SQL Anywhere 7 database to write into a SQL Server database

Hi,
I need to import data from a Sybase SQL Anywhere vers. 7 database. This RDBMS was used more 10-12 years ago. I want to write Sybase data into a SQL Server 2008 R2-2012 database. For testing purposes I'm using SQL Server 2005.
After that I've installed Sybase SQL Anywhere vers. 7 I can use the Adaptive Anywhere 7.0 ODBC. I'd like to use SSIS to import Sybase data, but I cannot create an OLE DB connection in a right manner while I can create and ODBC connection manager and so I
can use an Execute SQL task (and not a data flow task, unfortunately!).
Well, after using this Execute SQL task to read fe a table with thousands of data rows how can I write the entire data collection on a SQL Server table?
Thanks

Support for Sybase SQL Anywhere databases

Is there support for Sybase SQL Anywhere databases available?
Specifically, using an ODBC connection.
Sybase, curiously enough, does not want to develop specific drivers for connection to its databases; instead, it relies on an outside source (ODBC) for its connection.
I am NOT in favour of using ODBC as an connection method; we have bench-marked SQL query performance using both native driver connection vs ODBC connection; you should be easily able to guess which approach won out!!
Hint: Oracle dramatically!!

You can try using JTDS, it should work with Sysbase too and if you take a look at the SQL Developer certifications, you can see it's the certified way of speaking with Sysbase.
I've never used this myself and i'm not even sure if this works with SQL Anywhere but it's worth a try.

If I have corrupted bkup exec SQl Databases will they be removed if I uninstall SQL express 2005 from add remove programs?

The only things running when I run SQL management are Windows internal Database and SQl browser.
Both BKexec and mssql server are broken and won't start
I can't seem to find a way to connect to or delete the databases
I am using an outdated backup exec 11d so I cannot get support from Symantec
I want to know if uninstalling sqlserver express through add remove programs will remove the corrupt databases
This is in order to reinstall backup exec

Hello,
Based on your description, it seems that a backup tool (backup exec) is corrupt and and you want to reinstall this tool.
Uninstall SQL Server will not remove database files. Are the database files (data file .mdf and log file .log) or backup file (.bak) still available in your disk? If the database files or backup file is not corrupted, you can attach or restore
the database form these files after you reinstall SQL Server.

Connecting Discoverer to SQL Anywhere database via ODBC

I am trying to connect Discoverer to a SQL Anywhere Database using ODBC. I am using the following parameters:
Username: ODBC:DSN name
Password: I have tried every combination of username/password
Connect: Blank
The DBclient will launch, and I get an invalid username or password. Does anyone know the correct syntax and where I should be putting the username and password?
Any assistance will be appreciated.

Tom,
The ODBC driver manual should provide the configuration steps required.
The ODBC driver will use the username/password that was used when the database link was created to connect to SQL Anywhere.

Issues connecting to a SQL Anywhere repo from the Designer

I have installed DS4.2 SP2 on a number of Suse 11.1 Linux VMs using all of the standard settings, and making use of the bundled SQL Anywhere database as my repo.
I am getting an error in the Designer when I try to connect to certain repositories in the Login screen, but the problem is not happening on all installations.
The error is an ODBC message:
ERROR: ODBC call <SQLDriverConnect> to connect database <DS_REPO> failed with error: <[Sybase][SQL Anywhere]Database server not found>. Use the ODBCDriverSelector (Windows) or DSConnectionManager,sh (UNIX) utility in LINK_DIR/bin to configure the correct version of the driver.....(BODI-1112172)
I have checked both the ODBCDriverSelector on the machine running the Designer and DSConnectionManager on the server, and the drivers are all correct for SQL Anywhere 12. I can also successfully connect to the database from the Windows Repository Manager - the only problem is with the Designer.
I have tried adding an ODBC entry in the System DSNs for the repo database, and again I can successfully test the connection - but this hasn't fixed my issue, and the Designer can connect (when it can connect) even if a DSN isn't defined.
I'd appreciate any thoughts or advice.

I have a solution - in the CMC, set the repo to use DNS. You need to first create an appropriate entry in the <install dir>/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/odbc.ini and then create an equivalent entry on your client ODBC settings.

SQL Server 2012 Deploy Database to SQL Azure...

I have spent many days trying to copy a simple test database from my PC to SQL Azure but with little success. Then I installed SQL Server 2012 and see a new task:
Deploy Database to SQL Azure... It looks like an automated extraction to DAC and then creating the Azure database all in one step.
I was elated, but got hit with the following three types of errors.
One or more unsupported elements were found in the schema used as part of a data package.
Error SQL71564: The element Extended Property: [dbo].[Accounts].[Address].[MS_Description] is not supported when used as part of a data package (bacpac).
Error SQL71564: Table Table: [dbo].[Activities] does not have a clustered index. Clustered indexes are required for inserting data in this version of SQL Server.
Error SQL71564: Element User: [NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE] has an unsupported property AuthenticationType set and is not supported when used as part of a data package.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.Dac)
May I know what I can do on the on-premise database to rid of the first and third error?
Thanks.

Hello,
1) Remove the Extended Property from the (?) column Address in table Accounts.
BTW, for small databases it's sometimes easiere to generate a script for the database (and modify it slightly) instead of using the Wizard
Olaf Helper
Blog
Xing
What is Extended Property? What is this .MS_Description? I can't see it in the table designer or the Column Properties. (I don't know whether this was corruption caused by Data Sync I used earlier.) How do I remove it.
Of all the methods of copying SQL Server to Azure SQL, this one gives the least mistakes. If I can solve this Extended Properties thing hopefully I can migrate the database over.

Also, does anyone know how to determine the location (full path) of the unixODBC driver manager ?
Please assist if you can...thx.
Edited by: user601798 on Oct 15, 2012 3:37 PM

Let me start with the unixODBC driver:
There's no generic location as it depends which package you've used to install the UnixODBC driver manager or how you compiled it from scratch. I commonly prefer to compile it from scratch as this offers me to install it to any location I like.
If you're not sure where it is located, you could perform a search on your machine looking for libodbc.so. Then cross check it with "file <location>/libodbc.so" to see the lib is a 64bit library.
So let's assume in the /usr/lib64 you found the libodbc.so library, then the setting
HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME=/usr/lib64/libodbc.so
is correct. Else you need to adopt the parameter.
Next step is to check out which unixODBC version is installed. That's commonly done by calling "odbcinst -j".
Looking now ta the gateway init file there's a parameter HS_NLS_NCHAR set to UTF-8. UnixODBC is commonly compiled with UCS2 support, so please change it to HS_NLS_NCHAR=UCS2
Could you also please post the content of the odbc.ini file "more /etc/odbc.ini"?
Thanks,
Klaus

How to connect to SQL Anywhere db dynamically - No ODBC -

Hello all -
We have an application (c++) with several reports (crystal 10) that are dynamically connected to several access databases depending on the users request. We are now moving that application to .net (c#) and SQL Anywhere 11. I am able to create an odbc connection and use that connection to develop reports against the new database, but am unable to locate any information on how a connection can be established on the fly to run the report against different database instances. Can this be done dynamically from the application preferably with ADO.net? How? Where Can I find documentation supporting this?
Thanks in advance for you assistance,
Shawn

PHP odbc_connect on a running SQL Anywhere 16 server

Hello,
please help with the following php odbc_connect problem:
On my local machine (win 7, 64 bits) is a running SQL Anywhere 16 database. Started with
dbeng16.exe -c 8m -n xx_test "G:\DEMOS\xx\DB16\test.db"
In the ODBC manager then created a ODBC connection (xxdsn).
But the connection from PHP 5.3.8 fails:
$verbindung = odbc_connect('xxdsn', 'dba', 'sql');
It shows
Warning: odbc_connect() [function.odbc-connect]: SQL error: [Sybase][ODBC Driver][SQL Anywhere]Datenbankserver nicht gefunden, SQL state 08001 in SQLConnect in verbindung.php on line 4
The database is definitively runnig. Tested by opening an odbc connection from isql.
When I create an odbc connection on a database file, I can make an php odbc_connect.
This problem is only on the Win 7 machine and also with SQL Anywhere 12.
When I try the same on a (32 bits) XP machine it runs fine.
Please help, to find my mistake.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Peter
