How to connect to SP2010 content database from SQL Management Studio?

I would like to migrate the SP 2010 Foundation content to 2013 Foundation.
Both default installations with no external SQL server.
When trying to connect from SQL Management Studio Express 2008 I get the error below.
I'm using windows authentication and my domain admin account.
tried all the steps from
this guide.
What am I doing wrong here?
Cannot connect to (local).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:
TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10061)

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you could not connect from SQL Management Studio Express 2008.
Please try to connect to <MACHINENAME>\SQLEXPRESS or .\SQLEXPRESS instead of (local).

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.

How to connect to a specific database in SQL server

Hi,
How can I connect to a specific database in SQL server? I used the following statement. But my table is inserted to the 'master' database in the SQL server. How can I insert my tables to the specific database tahta I have created before?
Connection con;
String sURL = "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://SERVER_NAME:1433";
con = DriverManager.getConnection ( sURL, sUsername, sPassword);

Hi,
When I use the syntax:
String sURL = "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://SERVER_NAME:1433/DATABASE_NAME;selectMethod=cursor";
it gives an error as follows:
problems connecting to jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://SERVER_NAME:1433/DATABASE_NAME;selectMethod=cursor:

What is the way to connect to a specific database?

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.

How to Manually Restore SharePoint Content Database from DPM Backup to Alternative Farm

I have restored a content database of a site collection from a DPM backup, and the result is the MDF and LDF files of the database in a directory I specified in the restored wizard in DPM.
In my other SharePoint farm (a test environment) simply trying to attach these files in the target farm's SQL server produces an error as follows:
"Paths that begin with \\?\GlobalRoot are internal to the kernel and should not be opened by managed applications. (mscorlib) "
Given I have the DPM restored database, on an alternative farm, how can I manually restore this content database? What are the required steps?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi
Gr8 - don't ask me to explain, somehow SQL caches the backup location which is from a snapshot starting with
\\?\GlobalRoot and copying them discards that so they can me mounted.
Glad that resolved your issue.

How To Connect To Oracle 11g Database From Microsoft Excel

Hi All,
I have Windows7 64bit installed in my laptop.
I have Microsoft Excel 2007 installed.
I tried connecting to Oracle database ( This is not a local database).
Navigation used:
Data> From Other Sources > From Data Connection Wizard > Other/Advanced > Next > Microsoft OLE DB Provider For Oracle > OK
Now I get a pop up to enter:
username
password
server
When I enter all the required details I get this error "ORA-06413 CONNECTION NOT OPEN"
Is there no need to give PORT number?
Thanks,
Vishwamber Shetty

Hi,
Did you install oracle client on the machine? Can you do "tnsping <SID>"? Can you connect to DB using sqlplus ?
Try using tnsname for server name.
Connecting to Microsoft Data Sources Through ODBC Connection This shows how to connect using ODBC connection. I think this would be more appropriate.

Cannot connect to Oracle 11gR2 database from SQL Server 2005

Both SQL Server (Windows) and Oracle (Linux) are in 64bit environments.
I have done the following on a Windows 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2005:
Install InstantClient from Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64) to C:\Oracle
Install oledb from 64-bit ODAC 11.2 Release 3 (11.2.0.2.1) for Windows x64 by executing install.bat oledb c:\oracle odac
Note: Not sure whether 11.2.0.2.1 version of ODAC will cause any problem since I cannot find 11.2.0.1.0 version.
I have checked the Allow inprocess of OraOLEDB.Oracle provider in SSMS.
I have executed sp_addlinkedserver @server = 'ORACLE_TEST', @srvproduct = 'Oracle', @provider = 'OraOLEDB.Oracle', @datasrc = '##.##.##.##:1521/TEST'
The ##.##.##.## is the ip address of the Linux server which has the Oracle 11gR2 database TEST.
I have executed sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname = 'ORACLE_TEST', @useself = 'FALSE', @rmtuser = 'xxxx', @rmtpassword = 'yyyy'
The xxxx is the oracle username and yyyy is the password for the oracle user xxxx.
I know the oracle database TEST is up since I have setup connection in Oracle SQL Developer having:
##.##.##.## as the hostname
1521 as the Port
xxxx as the username
yyyy as the password
TEST as the service name
When I click Test Connection for the linked server ORACLE_TEST in SSMS, it just hang.
When I issue a query like select count(*) from oracle_test..xxxx.table1, it just run forever. I'm not so sure how to query an oracle table. I have also tried select count(*) from oracle_test.xxxx.xxxx.table1.
When I retype the password in the Linked Server Properties, it just run forever.
Do I need to create a tnsnames.ora on the Windows machine?
Do I need to change the tnsnames.ora on Linux machine?
I'm very new to Oracle.

This forum is dealing with connections from an Oracle database to SQL Server - so the Oracle database is the driving site and this is the way round from your linked server set up.
As you're suing the instant client you might post your issue in the instant client forum:

How to connect to a remote database in a lan??

Hey guys......! I need to connect to a remote msaccess database in a lan and import its data into my mysql database.I know how to connect to a msaccess database using ODBC.But I don't know how to connect to a remote database without creating dsn in the machine where database is.One thing more...I want to know, how can I import data into my mysql database?? Is there any query for that or simply I have to select data from msaccess database and insert into tables of my database??Please, send me the source code in the forum itself and explain also.This is the last feature of my project.So I need to do it as soon as possible.

If the mdb file in LAN, Just map the network drive.[Windows Explorer/Tools/Map Network Drive] in your system from which we need to access the remote mdb. Then go to ODBC Data Source Admin.. and create a new data source[Microsoft Access Driver] . After clicking the Select button, you will find a Network Drive will be visible on your Drives drop down. Select the map Drive, If not visible then just click the Network button there and map the network path where the mdb files reside. And use the JdbdOdbcDriver class to connect from java.

Steps
1. Create an entry in tnsnames.ora for the remote oracle DB
2. Test sqlplus user/pass@remote
3. create a synonym which points to a table at remote DB check docs.oracle.com
4. user ABAP code execute SQL to insert data into local synonym which inturn updates the remote DB.
I have done this in the past, it works great.

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.

How to add an existing content database to new Site collection

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...

DJ
