HOW RESTORE WITHOUT OVERWRITE EXISTING DATABASE ???????

I create a test database named TESTONE
USE MASTER
GO
if DB_ID('testone') IS NOT null
drop database TESTONE
GO
CREATE DATABASE TESTONE
GO
and change recovery model to simple
alter database TESTONE set recovery simple
GO
so I create a sample table
use TESTONE
GO
create table table1(
id int identity primary key,
descr varchar(10)
go
I take a full backup of that database
USE master
GO
BACKUP DATABASE TESTONE
TO DISK=N'c:\TEMP\testone.bak'
WITH NOFORMAT, INIT, NAME = N'TESTONE', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO
after that i do something bad :-)
USE TESTONE
GO
drop table table1
go
USE master
GO
USE [master]
RESTORE DATABASE [TESTONE] FROM DISK = N'C:\TEMP\testone.bak' WITH RECOVERY, FILE = 1, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 5
GO
the restore command doesn't contains  WITH REPLACE clause and ....
if you expand the tables tree you'll find your deleted table
the database has been overwritten
Why?

That is the default behavior or RESTORE. Since you are restoring the same DB (not a different DB) and the DB is in simple recovery mode, it will overwrite the existing DB. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186858.aspx.
Here is an excerpt from this link:
REPLACE Option Impact
REPLACE should be used rarely and only after careful consideration. Restore normally prevents accidentally overwriting a database with a different database. If the database specified in a RESTORE statement already exists on the current server and the specified
database family GUID differs from the database family GUID recorded in the backup set, the database is not restored. This is an important safeguard.
The REPLACE option overrides several important safety checks that restore normally performs. The overridden checks are as follows:
Restoring over an existing database with a backup taken of another database.
With the REPLACE option, restore allows you to overwrite an existing database with whatever database is in the backup set, even if the specified database name differs from the database name recorded in the backup set. This can result in accidentally overwriting
a database by a different database.
Restoring over a database using the full or bulk-logged recovery model where a tail-log backup has not been taken and the STOPAT option is not used.
With the REPLACE option, you can lose committed work, because the log written most recently has not been backed up.
Overwriting existing files.
For example, a mistake could allow overwriting files of the wrong type, such as .xls files, or that are being used by another database that is not online. Arbitrary data loss is possible if existing files are overwritten, although the restored database is complete.

    [HTML DB] How to use the existing database table?
    I installed Oracle 10g database in Computer A(Windows 2000), and I already create all the tables with data and the data size is about 300MB.
    In Computer B(Windows 2000), I installed HTML DB 1.6.
    How can I use /get the existing database table (in computer A) for HTML DB?
    Could anyone help me on this? I am newbie and I need some detail instructions. or Where can I find the examples.....
    Thanks

    Well I guess if you wish to retain that architecture, i.e. HTMLDB on one machine and your data on another, you will have to establish database links to access the data. Oracle documentation will describe how to achieve that.

  • How does one overwrite existing text?

    One can do plenty of clever formatting in drafting Thunderbird correspondence. But I am unable to find how one overwrites existing text. Can someone help, please?

    please I am having trouble understanding. But here goes what I think your asking.
    When you reply in an interleaved fashion as you did with my email, you need to break the previous message by pressing enter to get your own text area to type in. I saw a discussion on one of the develop0er list the other day where they were suggesting that some of the font information is bleeding back and forth in these situation and brainstorming what to actually do about it. That is just a discussion as yet. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tb-planning/ZYusepcRj-k
    One of the best option in my opinion is to use the quote and compose managerhttps://freeshell.de/~kaosmos/quoteandcomposemanager-en.html as it preserves the vertical lines Thunderbird shows while editing in the outgoing message to make it clear where the interleaved information is located. It also has a stabilize font option that has helped many. (The author is Italian, so Italian locales of his add-ons are always available)

  • How to migrate from existing Database Usermanagement to Active Directory?

    Hello experts,
    we are running a portal with more than 2000 users. So far our user management is done by the portal´s own identity management with the database as data source.
    However for many reasons instead of the database we would like to use an existing company´s Active Directory (=AD) as a data source for identity management. That means that we would like only to use the AD-users and AD-groups in the portal.
    All users who are in the portal´s database now you can find also in the existing company´s Active Directory. Luckily the users have the same ID both in the database and in the AD.
    We know that the migration form the database to AD is a big issue since many portal objects depend on the existing structures. However because the IDs of users are identical in both systems we hope to finde a way to "override" the existing usermanagement data with the AD data without loosing the existing settings (e.g. KM-Permissions, user profiles etc.).
    Generally I am asking you if you have had already experience with changing the user management´s datasource of an already "living" portal (several 1000 users) to Active Directory User Managent.
    What problems can occour?
    Which modifications need to be done?
    Which portal´s objects are affected by the migration?
    Is a migration possible at all?
    I will appreciate all suggestions, remarks, ideas.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thomas

    Hello experts,
    the current permissions in the KM-Objects are based on both groups and users from database.
    Because it is not possible to modify the Group´s Display Name in the portal´s database we would also like to use LDAP-Groups in the portal: All users and groups in the portal shall be managed by Active Directory in future.
    In the Active Directory it is possible to modify the Display Name of groups. This is a necessary feature because of reorganisations of departments in our company which occur from time to time.
    Creating new groups with the new department names is not an option because one has to assign all department members to the new group again. Otherwise one need to asign the new group to the ACLs of all KM objects in question. This is a too big deal.
    However, thank you for that hint Michael.
    Any other experiences?
    I will appreciate any ideas, foreseen problems.

  • How can I overwrite existing reports with Publish Wizard?

    Hi,
    I uploaded a lot of reports to the Crystal Reports Server 2008 CMS using the Publish Wizard. Now, when I upload changed reports again, the Publish Wizard does not overwrite the existing reports. Instead it renames the new report as "<Name> (2)".
    Is there an option ot overwrite the existing report based on the report name, ideally keeping the CID?
    Thanks for information
    Joern

    Hi Jorn,
    There is no option to overwrite the destination content, if you want to do that a better tool would be the Import Wizard.
    Using the Import Wizard you could specify how you want the imported report being to be treated in instances where it exists also on the Destination system.
    From the Import Wizard Guide:
    "...you have two options to identify the object and determine if the object already exists on the destination environment:
    1. Use the source object's unique identifier (CUID).
    2. Use the source object's name and path.
    You must decide how you would like the Import Wizard to handle scenarios where the objects already exist on the destination environment."
    Please refer to the Import Wizard Guide for the various options available with this tool.
    http://help.sap.com/
    I hope this answer was very helpful to you.
    Kind regards,
    John

    Hi All,
    Can anyone help to figure out how can I add existing content database to a new site collection in SharePoint 2013 foundation.
    We have more than 40 site collections under one web application, and only one site collection is returning 404 error. When checked in the central admin to view all site collections, the details on the right side of the site is not visible, and unable
    to delete it. The database is not corrupt, as I tried to add the same content database to a new web application, and it works perfectly in a new web app.
    As we couldn't find any solution, the only option we thought of was to blow the site collection and create a new one and add the exisiting database, but I am unaware as to how can I add existing database to new create site collection. Can anyone help
    me with this please?
    Regards,
    DJ

    It's working....
    The current database was corrupt I guess, (not sure though). Took old backup file and tested to see if it's working. After the test was successful...
    Removed the current database in CA
    Delete the current database in SQL server
    Restored the working backup file in SQL server
    Added the content db in CA
    That's it... the site collection is working now...

  • 11.1.2.1 - Overwrite Existing Values - Not Working

    Hi,
    Client has ASO Essbase application. They have duplicate rows of data apparently. I have the 'Overwrite existing values' box checked on the 'Data Load Settings'. I also select the 'Overwrite Existing Values' selection in the 'Data Load' window. Not sure why this is even there as it seems new or is a ASO specific functionality or something. Anyways, I created a simple file with two duplicate rows. When I load it using the rule, it doubles everything up. Then I load just a single row file with same rule and it successfully overwrites the values and loads properly.
    Is there a know issue with duplicate rows within the same file that causes it to double the values during the load? Or am I fundamentally missing something on how to correctly 'Overwrite Existing Values'?

    Found below out there in the documentation but trying to decipher it. If I understand the 'Buffer' will combine like rows withing a datasource automatically? But I can't figure out if that's in different source files only or within the same file?'
    Rules File Differences for Aggregate Storage Data Loads
    Rules file specifications for loading values to aggregate storage databases reflect the aggregate
    storage data load process.
    For block storage data loads, through the rules file, you choose for each data source whether to
    overwrite existing values, add values in the data source to existing values, or subtract them from
    existing values.
    For aggregate storage data loads using the aggregate storage data load buffer, you make this
    choice for all data load sources that are gathered into the data load buffer before they are loaded to the database.
    To use a rules file that was defined for a block storage outline with an aggregate storage outline, first associate the rules file with the aggregate storage outline. See “Associating an Outline with an Editor” in the Oracle Essbase Administration Services Online Help.
    For aggregate storage databases only:
    •     If you are loading data and values exist in the database, select an option from the Data load values drop-down list for overwriting existing values, adding to existing values, subtracting from existing values, or replacing the contents of the database.
    •     Select whether to ignore missing values and zero values in the data source.
    •     Select whether to load the data as a new slice in the database.

  • 10GR1 GridControl  with existing database fails

    Can anyone explain how the install with existing database works. I have tried to reason through it, but it always fails because it cannot find an oradata file in the directory where I am installing the software.... This makes no sense....
    thanks,

    You have to create the $ORACLE_HOME/oradata directory ahead of time. The installer
    warns you that the directory exists, but lets you continue and specify the locations where
    you would like to place the repository data files.

  • How do I view a Backed Up Address file WITHOUT overwriting my existing one?

    I think I have a few contacts that may have gotten erased in my address book. On a regular basis, I back up my contact list on an external hard drive. How do I view a contact in that address book back up copy without overwriting my whole file?
    Thanks so much.
    Sincerely,
    Skip

    ok, the following will work. Quit address book and move the folder homedirectory/Library/Application Support/Address Book to the desktop.
    start address book. it will be blank and that folder will be recreated. import the archive. find the contact you need, select it and drag it to the desktop. this will create a v-card for this contact on the desktop (you can do it to several contacts at once). Now quit address book, trash the folder homedirectory/Library/Application Support/Address Book and move the copy of that folder from the desktop back to homedirectory/Library/Application Support. Start address book and import the v-card you've made.

  • How to create a new database after copying an existing database with a new name

    spose
    i have a db name attached in sql server StoreManagementDB now i want to copy this database with all the transactions as StoreManagementDB_1.
    thanks

    Use a two steps to use a backup file to restore a database with a new name.
    ----You need to have a full backup of your database:
    --Step 1:
    RESTORE FILELISTONLY
    FROM DISK = 'C:\bk\TEST.BAK'
    --Find out the LogicalName of data file and log file
    -- in this case: the data file: TEST and the log file LogicalName: TEST_log
    --Both names will be used in the MOVE command
    --Step 2:
    -- Restore the files for test1.
    RESTORE DATABASE test1
    FROM DISK = 'C:\bk\TEST.BAK'
    WITH RECOVERY,
    MOVE 'TEST' TO 'C:\bk\test1_Data.mdf',
    MOVE 'TEST_log' TO 'C:\bk\test1_Log.ldf'

  • Restoring a db without an existing odbc connection

    Hey all,
    I'm looking for a way to restore a db as the first db in an
    application I have written. The app normally restores DBs as a way
    of automatically creating new sites, but if this is a new box and
    code determines the main manager DB doesn't exist, how does one
    restore a DB... without an existing ODBC to connect to the DB
    server through? I'm talking specifically about SQL Server on
    Win2003.
    Any advice?

    Ok. I gave up on trying to restore through code. Did it
    manually and have what I think is a working DB, but I cannot
    connect through CF
    Connection verification failed for data source: NemoManager
    java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC

    The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:

  • SSAS Deploy returns error on existing database instead of overwriting

    I am aware that this issue has been discussed before. However I have not found a satisfactory answer. I occasionally run into this issue: I have a deployed SSAS database on the server from a project in SSDT. I open the project again at a later
    time in SSDT, make some changes such as adding a new attribute to a dimension and deploy with the same name. I get a metadata engine error "Errors in the metadata manager. The database with the name of 'XYZ' already exists in the 'SERVER' server.".
     Please note that unlike commonly discussed scenarios, I have not renamed anything. The Database Name property in SSDT matches exactly both the Name and ID properties on the server, and the Deploy Changes Only property is set in SSDT. Why doesn't it
    see that I want to overwrite, or at least ask me whether I want to overwrite? Since the ID and Name properties on the server are derived from the Database Name property in SSDT, it is clear I want to overwrite?
    I know I can delete the database on the server and deploy successfully, but I don't want to do this. The only way I found of deploying successfully without deleting the database on the server is to change the Database Name property in SSDT (e.g.
    by adding a 2 to the original name) then deploy, rename back to the original name then deploy with overwriting, then delete the renamed one from the server.
    The fact that I can circumvent the error in this way surely proves the current functionality is a bug?

    Hi Charles,
    For the error message "Errors in the metadata manager. The database with the name of '' already exists in the '' server",
    generally there are two reason that can cause this issue.
    Deploy this solution to a different name than your existing database.
    Rename the previous database before deploying the new version with the new cube

  • Members only area of website and how to connect it to existing database

    I am trying to create a members login section on an existing website. We have a MS Access database of clients, and I need the website login creation to be able to look at our database and only let the person create an account, if they are on that list.

    Hi,
    According to your description, I think your issue is more about how to connect to Access database from your web site, instead of Access development.
    Which type of connection do you want to use? Is it ADO.NET?
    If so, I suggest you posting in ADO.NET Managed Providers
    forum for more effective responses.
    If not, you can choose a proper forum based on the type of the connection or your developing language.
