Resore SQL server 2008 SP3 database to SQL server 2008 R2 SP1

I have a dump from a SQL server 2008 SP3 server and I'm trying to restore it to SQL server 2008 R2 SP1 server but getting the error:
Msg 3241, Level 16, State 0, Line 2
The media family on device 'E:\Work\backup.bak0' is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
RESTORE FILELIST is terminating abnormally.
Are these versions incompatible or is it just a problem with the file? If they are incompatible, I could upgrade my target server to SQL server 2008 R2 SP2, would this help?
The exact version info is as follows:
Source server: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP3) - 10.0.5500.0 (X64) Sep 21 2011 22:45:45 Copyright (c) 1988-2008 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 <X64> (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
Target Server: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (RTM) - 10.50.1617.0 (X64) Apr 22 2011 19:23:43 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Developer Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
Thanks in advance for your help.

SQL server 2008 SP3 is technically a lower version than 2008 R2 SP1
but it was released after it.
The service packs release date don't matter, only the major+minor build versions are important; restore should work in your constellation.
During FTP transfer the file could be damaged, that's possible. The backup file could be also "blocked" by OS because it was download from a different server; then you have to unblock it like every other download file.

I want to use the SQL Toolkit of NI and SQL Server as my databasis on a server. Do I need to install a client in each computer I want to handle the data into SQL tables or I need only a ODBC driver?

I want to use the SQL Toolkit of NI and SQL Server as my databasis on a server. Do I need to install a client in each computer I want to handle the data into SQL tables or I need only a ODBC driver?

You only need the ODBC driver on each computer. If you are distributing the SQL Toolkit app as an executable and do not install the whole toolkit on each computer, you'll need the SQL Toolkit support files. This is about a dozen files. You can get the list at http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/b814be005f9da9258625658700550c75?OpenDocument.

Help -- sql 2008 SP3 (x64) and sql 2012 R2 SMO

We have a sql 2008 x64 sql server with SP3. We need to upgrade a third-party app (related to our SAN) and it needs to install
a. Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (x64)
b. Microsoft SQL Server 2012 CLR Types (x64)
c. Microsoft Sql 2012 R2 Management Objects (x64)
Are there any known compatibility issues installing these on a sql 2008 SP3 server?
TIA,
edm2

Hello,
The components you post above are stand-alone packages that provide additional value for Microsoft SQL Server 2012. The installation of these components will not effect the previous installed SQL Server instance.
SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) is a .NET Framework object which can will work with SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 R2, and SQL Server 2012. You can download the SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) and the requisite CLR Types from
the following link:

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

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.

Exchange Server 2010 SP3 Databases are not mounting after the recovery process

Hi,
We are using Exchange server 2010 SP3 in our office. Databases are stored in an ISCSI drive mapped with the exchange. We are taking daily full backup of my Exchange server using Symantec Backup exe 2012. As a testing purpose I created a test environment
same like my existing live environment to check the disaster recovery and backup. Thankfully disaster recovery worked well and I am able to open the exchange management console and powershell. But I am not able to mount the recovered databases ending
with an error saying "Couldn't mount the database that you specified. Specified database: officialrecover; Error code:
An Active Manager operation failed.........." and even I am not able to use the utility eseutil.exe to the database with an error "access to source database failed with jet error 1811". I am able to create a new database and mount
it.
I am using Windows Server Ent 2008 R2 64 Bit with Exchange Server 2010 SP3 in the Live environment with 3 partitions called C (279 GB), E (4.46 TB, ISCSI), F (976 GB) in my Live environment.
For test it is Windows Server Ent 2008 R2 64 Bit with Exchange Server 2010 SP3 with 3 partitions C (240 GB), E (1.4 TB), & F (240 GB).
Please help me with your valid comments to solve and mount the database and close the issue for ever.
With Regards
Jay

Jared is correct that in essence the message is saying the DB cannot be found.
When you restored to your recovery server are all the paths the same, i.e. if the DB existed on E:\XYZ on the production server it must be the same on the recovery server
When you restored into the recovery site do you have AD restored into that site as well?
For the recovery server are you using iSCSI storage for it as well? If so am I correct to assume that you have copies of the databases just for use on this server and are not trying to reference the same instance of the DB from the production
and test/recovery server?
I have also seen an issue where DB's getting written to disk from Symantec mess up the header of the DB. If you want to validate that the DB is actually intact and accessible you might want to check out our DigiScope product
http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp using a free DEMO license. If it works i.e. you are able to mount in DigiScope from same location where its failing on the recovery server we know the
DB your pointing at is good and accessible from the current path but something else is amiss in your configuration
Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox and Public Folder EDB's and Live Exchange Servers or Import/Migrate direct from Offline EDB to Any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->
2007 --> 2010 --> 2013 with Lucid8's

Use unused server as share point server after move databases to new server

HI,
we have a single server share point farm (ServerApp01) for Intranet and it connects to a SQL SERVER 2008 R2 database server (Server02),
and now we moved all sharepoint databases and content dbs to new sql server in different server (ServerSQLNew).
using sqlalias we point to new SQLSERVER 2012 Instance in this new server.
- now the old sql server (Server02), is not in the sharepoint farm
- now can i add this server in intranet farm and use this old server (Server02) as wfe server ?
here my doubt is when i open cliconfg.exe i saw that sharepoint server pointing to this old server name (Server02),
after i will join this server to existing farm is any issues?
adil

hi
i already turned off sql server instance in old sql server in my case in Server02.
In share
point Server (ServerApp01) i opened cliconfg.exe and add sqlaliases to point to new sql server.
If i rename server02 server or rebuild
the server with a clean OS install still Sharepoint Farm works right?
below is the scenario of sqlalias in sharepointserver (serverapp01)

How to create linked server to multiple database on same server?

Hi Experts
I want to create linked server to multiple databases on the same server.
I have 2 database servers (ServerA and ServerB) and want to create linked server on ServerB to link multiple databases on ServerA).
I have admin right on ServerB.
I don't have admin right on ServerA but have different accounts to access on each databases on ServerA.
After I created one linked server object to a database, I cannot create another linked server object for another database as it has already used the server name which is ServerA.
Please advise.
Thanks.

EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'ServerADB1', '', 'SQLNCLI', 'ServerA', @catalog = 'DB1'
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'ServerADB2', '', 'SQLNCLI', 'ServerA', @catalog = 'DB2'
etc.
Please look up the details for sp_addlinkedserver as I typed this from memory.
I can certainly see a point in having one linked server per database, as then you don't have to hardcode the database name in the queries, and the linked-server definitions can be changed if the database name changes.

Connect to Oracle database from SQL Sever

Can you help on an issue of connection from SQL Server to Oracle database:
In SQL Server, I create a "linked server" to connect to Oracle database on a different machine. But it will take a unreasonable time (about 30 seconds) to call a Oracle query from SQL Server.

No there are no entries required in the TNSNAMES.ORA
When you are using ODBC for connection, Oracle does not look fo rany enteries in TNSNAMES.ORA file.
Now I am able to connect to both SQL Plus and Forms 6i. But while connecting to SQL Plus its giving an error
Error accessing PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE
Warning: Product user profile information not loaded!
You may need to run PUPBLD.SQL as SYSTEM
Server not available or version too low for this feature
Connected to:
Oracle Open Client Adapter for ODBC 6.0.5.35.0
Microsoft SQL Server 08.00.0534
Also while disconnecting the Windows Program Error comes, and the application closes abruptly.

How can Database A on Server A be available as Database B

SQL Server 2012 Enterprise on Windows Server 2012 R2 DataCenter - VMWare Server
Question:
Can Database A on Server A be available as Database B (within 10 minutes of data time difference) on Server A (same server) for reporting.
Possible Answers:
1. Transactional Replication - Yes
2. Log Shipping - No, because Database will not be available as Read Only or if available for read only, will kick out active connections when logs are applied on reporting database
3. Always On Availability Groups - No, because the reporting database needs to be on another server.
4. Mirroring - No, because this feature is being deprecated
5. Clustering Active/Active - No, because the reporting database needs to be on another server.
It appears as though transactional replication is the only option.
Please guide if there are other options.
Thank you.
-Jeelani

However, I would question what you think you are gaining by this? On the same server does not
gain you anything except eliminate the possibility of blocking.
Thanks for the guidance. Placing the reporting database on the same server as the source database was a business decision to avoid the cost associated with setting up another server.

Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 - "u25azalea.dll" missing

We have installed Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 on our application server.
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
64-bit operating system
1. I create a Report and choose a field for barcode
2. Right-click on a that field and choose u201CChange to barcodeu201D
3. I choose "Code39" in the list
4. I change the font of the field to "Barcode EAN13"
5. It shows correctly in Crystal design/preview mode.
6. When I try to run the report from our windows application this message appear: "UFL 'u25azalea.dll' that implements this function is missing"
7. I download the file from http://www.azalea.com/crystal-reports/
8. I copy the file "u25azalea.dll" into the path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
8. It still shows the message!
What should I do?

Hello,
No need to select #3 if you are going to change it to #4. Just edit the field and select your barcode font. You only need that file if you use the Code 39 font.
Odd though that it asked for that ufl. Look for it on your local PC and copy it over, could be the one you downloaded is an older version.

I found I could fix this by removing the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\eventlog\Microsoft-Exchange-Troubleshooters/Operational
and everything underneath it.
My guess is that wevtutil didn't like adding an event log where it already existed but was slightly different in setup (no idea how, exactly).
After 24 hours I'll try post again - giving things time to make sure they are actually working.

Move Owb database to new server

Hi,
We are going to move our Owb (9.2.0.2.8) database to a new server. The nodename isn't going to change only the ip-address will change. The OS will be the same.
The steps will be:
1) install Owb on new server
2) copy database to new server
Is there some other step we'll need to take?
regards,
Ivan

Здравствуте Ivan.
Before i would do anything like this i would make sure that i have a good valid backup (just in case!).
I would check all the applications that are currently conencting to your ORacle and make sure they are all conneting 'by name' not the IP. Or and then i would check DNS server (make sure nslookup is working) to makesure that everything resolves correctly after the moving DB to another machine.
Then check that the oracle_home etc are in the same directory and check that all paths etc in the configurations are the same.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards

Difference between database features - SQL Server 2008 R2 navtive vs SQL Server 2012 with SQL Server 2008 compatibility set?

I am investigating the impact of upgrading from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012. To reduce the impact of the upgrade, I am planning to restore / create our application database onto SQL Server 2012 with compatibility level 100 (SQL Server 2008 and
SQL Server 2008 R2).
Are there any differences in feature support for database running in native mode on SQL Server 2008 R2 vs a database installed on SQL Server 2012 with compatibility level 100 set?

Are there any differences in feature support for database running in native mode on SQL Server 2008 R2 vs a database installed on SQL Server 2012 with compatibility level 100 set?
Yes there can be difference and impact there are few features deprecated in SQL Server 2012 you must be aware about that. Please see
Deprecated Database Features in SQL Server 2012
Deprecated SQL Server features in SQL Server 2012
After you migrate database to 2012 please don't move ahead with production unless you have tested your application to new created database
