Restore Database 2008 to 2005
I have Database .mdf and .ldf file for the version of 2008. but I have need to attach 2005 format. but I can not do this
anyone please help.
Hello,
It is not possible to restore/attach a SQL Server database to a previous Version (2008 to 2005). You have to install the same Version or you have to script out all database objects + data.

so i have actually no clou how can i copy live database to a test database??
Thank you and best regards> so i have actually no clou how can i copy live database to a test database??
You can't copy a "running" database using explorer and copying the files over. The proper way of copying a system can be found in the system copy guides in addition to

You need to install SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 2
Download
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11093, you are currently running the RTM and the backup was from Version 10.50.4000 and your attempting to restore to version 10.00.1600.
To find your current SQL Version open a New Query and paste the following then execute
SELECT @@VERSION AS 'SQL Server Version

I have a SQL 2008 R2 database that I am trying to move to 2012. Made a full backup of the database in 2008 R2. Recovery model is Simple, compatibility level is 2008 Went to 2012, created a dummy database, did Tasks--> Restore -->
Database , located the backup file, selected it, changed the file locations and tried to restore the backup (with overwrite option), got the following error:
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.
This is a simple task that has always worked in 2008 R2. Does anyone know what the problem is and a possible solution?
ThanksHi,
This error occurs when the database recovery model has been changed to Simple and/or the recovery model has been changed back to Full but a full backup has not been performed since the change.
If a full backup has been performed, the following conditions will require that another full backup be taken:
· The recovery model had been changed without taking a full backup
· A SQL maintenance plan task had changed the recovery model (reindexing can cause this)
· A backup specifying TRUNCATE_ONLY had been run on the database
· The database was detached from another server and attached to the current server
Additionally, if we take full database backup after the Database is set to readonly, Then transaction log backup we will end up with this error. This is expected behavior. I have list an example within the link below.
Please check above conditions and fix your issue, if you have any concern, please let me know.
Example:
BACKUP LOG cannot be performed because there is no current database backup.

Restoring database using C sharp console application(SQl server 2008 R2)
Hi All,
I want to take backup and restore database from one server to another through C sharp Console Application.
My Backup is working fine but restoring is not working and throwing below error:
An unhandled exception of type 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.FailedOperationException' occurred in Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended.dll
Database name is fine while restoring.
Please give me some ideas in resolving this.
Thanks in advance.
blrSvsTechHi Olaf,
I used Replace database option.
My code is something like this.
public void Restoredb(string serverName, string useraame, string password)
ServerConnection conn;
if (useraame == " ") // for Windows Authentication
SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=" + serverName + @";Integrated Security=True;");
conn = new ServerConnection(sqlCon);
else // for Server Authentication
conn = new ServerConnection(serverName, useraame, password);
Server srv = new Server(conn);
Database database = srv.Databases["db_Miller"];
string dbPath = Path.Combine(database.PrimaryFilePath, "db_Miller.mdf");
string logPath = Path.Combine(database.PrimaryFilePath, "db_Miller.ldf");
Restore restore = new Restore();
BackupDeviceItem deviceItem = new BackupDeviceItem(path, DeviceType.File);
restore.Devices.Add(deviceItem);
restore.Action = RestoreActionType.Database;
restore.ReplaceDatabase = true;
restore.NoRecovery = true;
restore.SqlRestore(srv); ------------- Getting error in this line.
database = srv.Databases["db_Miller"];
database.SetOnline();
srv.Refresh();
database.Refresh();
Thanks in advance.

Hi blrSvsTech,
You haven’t specified the restore destination database, please try the following codes:
public void Restoredb(string serverName, string useraame, string password)
ServerConnection conn;
if (useraame == " ") // for Windows Authentication
SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=" + serverName + @";Integrated Security=True;");
conn = new ServerConnection(sqlCon);
else // for Server Authentication
conn = new ServerConnection(serverName, useraame, password);
Server srv = new Server(conn);
Database database = srv.Databases["db_Miller"];
string dbPath = Path.Combine(database.PrimaryFilePath, "db_Miller.mdf");
string logPath = Path.Combine(database.PrimaryFilePath, "db_Miller.ldf");
Restore restore = new Restore();
BackupDeviceItem deviceItem = new BackupDeviceItem(path, DeviceType.File);
restore.Devices.Add(deviceItem);
restore.Action = RestoreActionType.Database;
restore.ReplaceDatabase = true;
restore.NoRecovery = true;
restore.database = srv.Databases["db_Miller"];
restore.SqlRestore(srv); ------------- Getting error in this line.
database = srv.Databases["db_Miller"];
database.SetOnline();
srv.Refresh();
database.Refresh();
If the issue occurs again, please post all the error message here for analysis.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry, my bad. I inadvertently copied wrong [name] form the msdb.dbo.backupset. On 3/13 and 3/14, the two file names did not match. In trying to select another example to show you this morning, I found that the names are now matching!
What I was doing was to create dynamic t-sql to retrieve the latest prod backup of the database, and then restore it with move to the development server. This is an ad-hoc job that the developers can run by themselves whenever they require a refresh. Unfortunately,
we only keep 3 days worth of backups for these databases, so the original disk file I was trying to use to restore no longer exists. Researching the original error, one of the error descriptions was that the restore could not find the file requested.
I thought this very strange since I get the file name directly from the backupset table. Further research did indeed show that the file names were different, but unfortunately, I failed to save the details of the file names. Anyway, in looking for a new example
to show you this morning, I have found that the file names are indeed matching exactly again. If this error pops up again, I will be sure to save all details and re-post.
Thanks, regards and best wishes to you and yours, -

Cause
Some of the files specified for restore could not be found. Message 6023, 6024, or 6025 is also issued to indicate which files could not be found. Some common reasons why a file can not be restored are that there is no backup or copy of the file that is known to recovery manager, or there are no backups or copies that fall within the criteria specified on the RESTORE command, or some datafile copies have been made but not cataloged.
Action
The Recovery Manager LIST command can be used to display the backups and copies that Recovery Manager knows about. Select the files to be restored from that list. -

I really do not know what is my problem and how to solve it. I hope you guys can help me. I'm under a big pressure to solve this soon.
My Operating System is: WinXP Pro
I'm using APEX 2.01
When I create the backup I use ARCHIVELOG enable
Things i try:
1. Install fresh oracle XE database, and restore
2. Install fresh oracle XE database, enable archivelog and restore
3. Install fresh oracle XE database, enable archivelog, change path of DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST to 'D:\Respaldo'.
4. Install fresh oracle XE database, enable archivelog, change path of DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST to 'D:\Respaldo', and execute: @?/sqlplus/admin/movelogs;
5. Install fresh oracle XE database, enable archivelog, change path of DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST to 'D:\Respaldo';, and change DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE to 20G;
NOTE: sorry for my english it is not my native language. and sorry for using a spanish version of the database.

Can't Remove Datasets From SQL Server Management Studio Restore Database Dialog
Hello,
I am trying to restore a database in MS SQL 2008 R2 Management Studio on a Windows 2008 server.
- I right click the Databases folder and choose Restore Databases.
- I select the From device radio button as usual and click Add.
- I specify a .bck file as usual and click OK.
- When I return to the Restore Database dialog are two backup sets already in the "Select backup location to restore" part of the dialog that I unsuccessfully tried to restore earlier already there.
- I can see the path to the backup set that I want to add in the "From device" field of the "Restore Database" dialog. The backup is not listed in "Select backup location to restore" as it should be.
- I tried restarting the SQL Server service and I rebooted the server but the files were still there when I tried to do a restore.
- There is no option to remove the extra datasets in the "Select backup location to restore" part of the dialog. I am hoping that if I can remove the extra datasets that this will resolve the problem. Does anyone have any idea how to remove them?
Martin MannHello,
My issue was a bit different then your screenshot. I was able to choose a backup dataset with no problem from the "Select backup devices" dialog as you show in the screenshot. At that time the "Restore Database" dialog box you show in the background had
no backup files, you show filetest1, filetest2. However after clicking the "Add" to files were listed in the "Restore Database" dialog neither of which was the one that I was trying to add. The problem was that the wrong files were listed in the "Restore Database"
dialog and I couldn't remove them.
The problem turned out to be two issues. I resolved the problem as follows:
It turned out that someone had compressed my server c:\ drive and I was not aware of it. Disk compression and SQL server have conflicts. As I had never compressed a drive I didn't know that Windows Explorer displays compressed files in blue letters. So the
first step was to decompress the drive. Which did not fix the problem.
What had caused the files to show up was that I had somehow created a backup with two data sets in it. It seems that when SQL Server creates a backup one of the first things it does is check the drive for the required space and create an empty backup file
the size of the backup to reserve the disk space. It seems that I had created a file that contained space for a backup but no data with another back with data behind it. When I looked at the backup file size in explorer it was almost twice the size it should
have been.
I resolved the problem by changing the path of the default backup folder. I was able to do a restore from there. Afterwords the default backup folder worked and the files listed were no longer there.
Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the help.
Martin Mann -
I need explanation about RESTORE DATABASE PREVIEW SUMMARY;
After executing the command:
RMAN> RESTORE DATABASE PREVIEW SUMMARY;
It finished with the following lines:
Media recovery start SCN is 1487308
Recovery must be done beyond SCN 1726503 to clear data files fuzziness
Finished restore at 2008-04-30:17:13:59
What does it mean "recovery start SCN is 1487308" and "Recovery must be done beyond SCN 1726503..." ?
I would like to restore/recover untill a SCN... but I don't understand if it means I must set a SCN between 1487308 and 1726503, or 1726503 is simply a starting SCN ...
Below there's my list of backup by file with SCN:

Hi,
I try learn how restore database.
Case:
Database is in archivelog mode and hot backup runs every night at 2:00am by cron job and backup.sh
I drop table using
drop table mytbl purge;So I can not get it from recyclebin.
Or I do some other mistake and I like restore whole database to state where it was in certain time
I have try read all kind documents and experiment how to do this without luck.
If someone could give me steps to do restore
Thanks advance

After Piecemeal Primary FileGroup Restoration, Database Property Window Shows other FileGroups also
Hi,
I have a SQL Server 2008 database with 90 Gigs of Capacity.
The database consists of a huge table with 80 Gigs of Capacity and these entire 80 Gigs of data is Static in nature.
We need the to restore the backup of this database frequently in to the Development environment, so we moved this static data into a Secondary File Group.
Now, the database Consists of 2 Filegroups : Primary & Secondary_fg.
The entire Static table is moved to the Secondary FileGroup.
We have taken the backup of Primary FileGroup using the following Backup Command :
Backup Database MYDB FILEGROUP = 'PRIMARY' to disk = 'E:\SQLBackup\MYDB_Primary_FG_Only.bak'
WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'MYDB - Full Filegroup backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD
The backup went file with the expected capacity of 10 Gigs.
I have restored this backup in to a New Database : MYDB_PRIMARY_ONLY using the following command
RESTORE DATABASE [MYDB_PRIMARY_ONLY] FILE = 'MYDB_DATA', FILEGROUP = 'PRIMARY'
FROM DISK = 'E:\SQLBackup\MYDB_Primary_FG_Only.bak',
WITH FILE=1,
MOVE 'MYDB_DATA' TO 'E:\SQLDATA\MYDB_PRIMARY_ONLY_DATA.mdf',
MOVE 'MYDB_LOG' TO 'E:\SQLDATA\MYDB_PRIMARY_ONLY_LOG.ldf', NOUNLOAD, PARTIAL
GO
The Restoration also went fine and the size of the Newly Restored Database : "MYDB_PRIMARY_ONLY" is with 10 Gigs in Capacity.
But, the gotcha here is whilst checking the Database Properties of this Newly restored database, on the FILES & FILEGROUPS tab, the files & filegroups related to the SECONDARY FILEGROUP is also showing.
MY ACTUAL QUESTION :
On the PRIMARY FILEGROUP ONLY RESTORATION HOW THIS SECONDARY FILEGROUP IS COMING INTO PICTURE ?
MOREOVER, WHEN I TRIED TO REMOVE THE SECONDARY FILEGROUP AND IT'S RESPECTIVE DATA FILE IT THROUGH THE FOLLOWING ERROR :
COMMAND USED TO REMOVED THE FILE & FILEGROUP :
USE [MYDB_PRIMARY_ONLY]
GO
ALTER DATABASE [MYDB_PRIMARY_ONLY] REMOVE FILE [SECONDARY_DATA_FILE.ndf]
GO
ALTER DATABASE [MYDB_PRIMARY_ONLY] REMOVE FILEGROUP [SECONDARY_FG]
GO
Error :
Msg 5056, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot add, remove, or modify a file in filegroup 'SECONDARY_FG' because the filegroup is not online.
Can anyone explain why such this error message ? Thanks in advance for any guidance in this regard.On the PRIMARY FILEGROUP ONLY RESTORATION HOW THIS SECONDARY FILEGROUP IS COMING INTO PICTURE ?
When you restore only the primary filegroup, all database meta data is restored, including references to the filegroups and files not yet restored. Filegroups/files not restored will be recovery pending state and data on those filegroups will be inaccessible.
Removing the filegroup will change the status to defunct but the meta data will remain. You'll need to copy the restored objects and data to a new clean database if you want to tidy up.

RMAN restore database validate
All,
I cannot seem to find anything in the Oracle documentation what the RMAN restore database validate checks for? Does it check for physical and logical corruption or do I need to validate the backup using logical statement to check for this?
I would appreciate it if somebody could point me in the right direction.
This is for Oracle 9iR2

Restore database that has mirroring enabled
I apologize, as I'm the default SQL person now and my skill level is pretty much limited to running queries. SQL 2008 R2
We have a Test database that is mirrored and has severely outdated data. I'd like to copy the data in from a recent back up of our Production environment.
I understand I need to break mirroring first by going to the database > tasks > mirror > mirroring > hit "remove mirroring" button.
Then I can do a normal restore, correct? (Databases > Tasks > Restore). On the options page I should select "NORECOVERY".
Then what? I will need to restore the mirroring. Do I just go to database > tasks > mirror > mirroring and uncheck "remove mirroring"?
Any pitfalls I should be aware of?Hi ,
According to your description, when you manually stop a database mirroring session via removing database mirroring, To continue mirroring after stopping a session, you must establish a new database mirroring session. For more information, see:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms180801.aspx
In addition, we need to verify which database you want to do a normal restore. After removing database mirroring, the database in Principal server will become a normal database, you can do a normal restore. The database in Mirroring server will stay in recoverying.
You need to restore it with recovery for becoming a normal database.
Restore database <Mirroring database name> with recovery
-------------in Mirroring Server.

I have a backup (.BAK file) which has bunch of .ndf files. I want to restore it on a database which has only .mdf and .ldf files. How to restore it? I am new to Sql server 2008 R2 and never restored .bak file which contains .ndf files...
Thanks in advance...
Thank you,I don't want to eliminate them. I want to restore them as well but don't know how to. Also the database where I want to restore the .bak only have .mdf and .ldf files.
The target database is completely overwritten during the restore. The number and size of the files after the restore will be the same as the original. You can use the WITH MOVE and REPLACE options to relocate the files and replace the target
database:
RESTORE DATABASE TargetDatabase
FROM DISK='D:\Backups\SourceDatabase.bak'
WITH
MOVE 'SourceDatabase' TO 'E:\DataFiles\SourceDatabase.mdf'
,MOVE 'SourceDatabase_Data2' TO 'F:\DataFiles\SourceDatabase_Data2.ndf'
,MOVE 'SourceDatabase_Data3' TO 'G:\DataFiles\SourceDatabase_Data3.ndf'
,MOVE 'SourceDatabase_Log' TO 'L:\DataFiles\SourceDatabase_Log.ldf'
