Restoring a database from a different database

I want to restore database new2db from newdb. both dbs are on different sql server instances.
I have backup of newdb called newdb_july.bkup.
I ran the below command :
restore database new2db from disk = 'c:\mssql\backup\newdb_july.bkup' with file=1,
move 'newdb' to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\new2db.mdf',
move 'newdb_log' to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQLServer\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\new2db_log.ldf',
replace,norecovery,stats=10
the restore completed successfully but the database is still in 'Restoring' status.
how do I get the database in active accessible status?
appreciate the feedback.

Yes norecovery if you want to restore more tlog or diff backup files... If you use recovery then you cant further restore any more tlog or diff backup's..
WITH RECOVERY includes both the redo and undo phases and recovers the database; additional backups cannot be restored. This is the default.
If the roll forward set has not been rolled forward far enough to be consistent with the database, the undo phase cannot occur. The Database Engine issues an error and recovery stops.
If the whole roll forward set is consistent with the database, recovery is performed, and the database can be brought online.
WITH NORECOVERY omits the undo phase to preserve uncommitted transactions. Omitting the undo phase allows for restoring other backups to roll the database further forward in time. Occasionally, RESTORE WITH NORECOVERY rolls forward data
to where it is consistent with the database. In these cases, the Database Engine issues an informational message stating that the roll forward set can now be recovered by using the RECOVERY option.
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.

Can you restore to factory from a different computer then restore backup from the original computer?

My son reset then forgot his passcode, when I try to restore from his computer his pc freezes. I have tried several times and continues to freeze. He does not want to lose his contacts, purchased songs and apps but all else does not really matter.
So, am I able to restore his touch from my computer then restore the backup from his computer? It did complete the backup on his PC.
Please help, we have been messing with this for a few weeks now and I am just tired of trying to restore when his pc keeps freezing...

Yes, just plug in into iTunes and it'll give you the option to restore as a new device..

How can I restore my iPhone from a different backup?

Okay I don't know if this is possible, but it would really make my life easier if someone knew how to do this.
My old iPhone was named Joe's iPhone. It had all my contacts, pics, apps, everything. That phone broke and my Mom gave me her old iPhone, both are 3g. So on my computer I obviously had sync'd my old phone (Joe's iPhone) and backed it up. Can I restore my Moms phone and boot it up with my old backup so I'll have all my contacts? I've tried restoring it, but I also backed up my Mom's phone on my computer so whenever I restore it, it just comes back with all her contacts. I want to chose to restore from my old phone backup.
Is this possible? Can anyone walk me through doing that?

Hi Joe,
Just right-click on the iPhone(on the left side of iTunes, under Devices) and then choose Restore from Backup. Then choose the backup that has the date and name of your previous phone.
These articles provide additional information about iPhone backups:

Restoring book marks from a different drive

i had to delete Firefox 3.6 do to a conflict with searchtempest. so i copied the favorites from Firefox to my flash drive and now i need to put them back so Firefox will see them. just where are the favorites in Firefox so i can use them again?

thanks for these answers but they are after the fact. i just copied the bookmarks folder to the flash drive then i deleted Firefox then i downloaded a new copied of the program and then installed it. then i went to locate the bookmarks data and i did not see the folder. so i just imported the bookmarks from internet explorer and rearranged them to my taste. thanks for the help.
i suppose i should have used the backup link and that may have worked better.
i would rather use a newer version of Firefox but the spellbound program fails in the newer versions and i like that little program. no one seems to have updated spellbound to work with the new versions of Firefox. when version 3.6 fails and i can't get it to go again i will go back the internet explorer or to chrome they have nice spell checker programs that i like but I'm use the fire fox so i just keep using it.

Can you restore a backup from an iPhone 6 to an iPad 2?

I bought my wife an iPad 2 and I want to set it up to be just like her iPhone 6 (absent the iPhone only apps, obviously). However, I cannot seem to get it done.
I do not use iCloud backup - this is from a backup on a Mac running Yosemite via iTunes. Both devices are running iOS 8.1.3.
I select 'Restore Backup', then select the backup of my wife's iPhone and I get a message: "Settings and data from some apps are not compatible with iPad and will not be restored." I figure this means it will restore everything except the iPhone specific apps.
I click 'continue' and it appears to go through the restore process, but then nothing gets installed on the iPad.
Thoughts?

I restored a backup from a DIFFERENT iPad (mini) to my target iPad 2. I have not been able to restore the backup from the iPhone to the target iPad.
I have tried the following:
Backup of iPhone 6 to target iPad 2 - Fail
Backup of iPhone 5S to target iPad 2 - Fail
Backup of different iPad mini to target iPad 2 - Complete
So the target iPad 2 will take a restore from a different iPad (mini), but not from two different iPhones.
Is it just me, or can such a restore just not be done?

Restoring a backup from a 9500 to a 9300

I broke my 9500 (yes silly me ) and the insurance copmpany said there are no more 9500s available but I could have a 9300 so I took one, however the tech support at Club Nokia now say I can't restore the data from backup of the 9500 to the 9300, so my five years of contacts is gone!! Did some engineer at Nokia really think about this, no upward compatibility between backup data ??? Additionally why isn't the backup data stored in an 'open' format, it's not accessible to any other application, are these guys living in the real world, has no one at Nokia heard of 'open' systems ?

No, don't copy files anywhere. Just go into your backup area in My Documents and rename the existing folder to reference your new device.
Hang on. From one of my FAQs:
"Should you need to restore a Nokia 9300 or 9500 backup onto a new device (either because you've swapped one for the other or because you've got a replacement after a hardware fault), it's worth noting that PC Suite needs you to make sure that the backup files have the right name. If the names don't match, it won't let you do the restore.
Let's say you had a 9500. Having connected up your new 9300 for the first time, it will probably take the name 'Nokia 9300' (surprise, surprise). Now the last backup of your 9500 can be found in '\My Documents\Backup files', with a filename resembling 'Nokia 9500 25-04-2005.nfb'. Simply rename the file, changing the start of the filename to be 'Nokia 9300'. You should now be able to restore your 9500 backup.
Do please note that restoring a backup from a different device isn't guaranteed to work. Hardware differences (no camera or Wi-Fi on the 9300) and firmware differences mean that a direct restore is very much an experiment. If it doesn't work, you'll have to rebuild your internal 'C' disk from scratch, syncing over your latest PIM data and then installing applications and documents."

Restore a database in a new instance with different name

Hello, I need restore a database in a different server. I have a backup of 01-Jan-2008 on tape on DataProtector and I need to restore in another server in order to extract some information for a datawarehouse, I need restore with a name different because on that server we have a standby database. The both servers are HP ia64 and have Unix. I have installed Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 EE. I read the Oracle RMAN Advanced but the process is for duplicate the database, I need restore a backup from 01-Jan-2008. Can you help me please. What steps should I run. Thanks for your answer.

Hi Ruben Nieto,
Can you check on the target if the backup pieces are still registered in the controlfile?
< connect target /; >
< list backup completed before 'to_date('2009-01-02:00:00:00','YYYY-MM-DD:HH24:MI:SS')'; >
If no information is available:
1) "I can't use the same name for the database." -> excludes a restore/recover on the standby server.
2) "how can I restore the database whitout catalog in other server" -> excludes a duplication to new name.
If you want to keep it simple find a third HP ia64 machine where you can mirror your production environment and restore the complete backup set and recover the database keeping the name of the target.
Regards,
Tycho

How to restore a database from backup taken in standby database

Its our environment standard to run backup in standby database.
Now we have to perform refresh production database to UAT database.
I have performed normal refresh/duplicate. Is there any additional procedures need to be followed to perform refresh from standby database backup

RMAN Restoration to New Server with Different Directory and New Database Name
In this case, I have an existing production database with RMAN Level 0 backup:

The backupsets will be restored into a new server with different file structure. The database will also be different. In the new server, I have created a blank database (SID or CUSTOM database with the name DBGRID). This is easier so I won't have to create any directories, user ORADIM or create new PWFile.
This document assumes that a blank (starter) database has been created in the new server. The RDBMS version is the same as the source database.
In this example, the source database name is GALAXY and the target database name is DBGRID.
Let me know if you have any feedback or comments. All I want is to share these steps with you and make it better so we can help other DBA's as well.
Steps start here

DUPLICATE DATABASE: DBGRID

1. Backup the database using RMAN incremental backups.
2. Check the RMAN logs generated and look for the result of the command:

APEX Application accessing data from two different databases

Hi All,
Currently as we all know that APEX Application resides in database and is connected to the schema of that database.
I want APEX Application to be running and accessing data from two different databases. Elaborating my question,
Currently, my APEX Production Application is connected with XXXX Schema of DB1 Database(Where APEX Resides). Now I want to add some pages into this APEX Application for REPORT Purpose, But I want to connect this REPORT APEX Pages to get data from Different Schema YYYY for Database DB2.
Is it possible to configure this scenario?
The reason for doing this is to avoid the REPORT related (adhoc queries) resource utilization effect on Production DB1 Database.
Thanks
Nil

1. If you do the joining of two or more tables in DB1 then all data is pulled over to DB1 and then the join is executed: so more data over the databaselink and more work for DB1. Better keep the joining stuff where the data resides and just pull exactly that data over that you need.
2. Don't know about your different block sizes. Seems a nice question for one of the other forums (DBA or SQL).
3. I mean create synonyms on DB1 for reports VIEWS in DB2.
Hope all is clear!

Table transformation from two different database

Hi all,
I am trying to load table from one database table to another database table in ODI 10g.I have created two physical and logical topology.
But when in interface design i have drag the source and target tables in the diagram window, but here it doesnot shows the auto mapping options, when i try it manually by dragging a field, i have failed. when i execute the operation the following error occured:
create or replace view db1."C$_0 W_INT_ORG_D"
as select
from     db1.W_INT_ORG_DS W_INT_ORG_DS
where     (1=1)
here both the source and target db are same..
How can i resolve it

Hi,
Thanks it worked.
I am getting another error on Insert flow into I$ table step.
I am connecting two database from two different hosts, both are in oracle.
I have two logical schema prepared for both database.
should i have to mentioned these schema in one physical topology? what should be placed in schema and work schema option.
I have used LKM Oracle to Oracle(DBLINK) as KM.
Please help

How to restore a database backup taken from a SQL Server 2012 instance to SQL Server 2014

I am trying to restore a database backup taken from a SQL Server 2012 instance to my new SQL Server 2014 instance. When I add the .bak through the Mgmt studio UI, it does not seem to find a backup set in the file so I cannot proceed (does not give
me any errors though either. I tried restoring through TSQL command but only got a database restore terminating abnormally error with no other details. How can I restore this database to SQL 2014?

Hello,

Restored standby database from primary; now no logs are shipped

Hi
We recently had a major network/SAN issue and had to restore our standby database from a backup of the primary. To do this, we restored the database to the standby, created a standby controlfile on the primary, copied this across to the control file locations and started in standby recover and applied the logs manually/registered to get it back up to speed.
However, no new logs are being shipped across from the primary.
Have we missed a step somewhere?
One thing we've noticed is that there is no RFS process running on the standby:
SQL> SELECT PROCESS, CLIENT_PROCESS, SEQUENCE#, STATUS FROM V$MANAGED_STANDBY;
PROCESS CLIENT_P SEQUENCE# STATUS
ARCH ARCH 0 CONNECTED
ARCH ARCH 0 CONNECTED
MRP0 N/A 100057 WAIT_FOR_LOG
How do we start this? Or will it only show if the arc1 process on the primary is sending files?
The arc1 process is showing at OS level on the primary but I'm wondering if its faulty somehow?
There are NO errors in the alert logs in the primary or the standby. There's not even the normal FAL gap sequence type error - in the standby it's just saying 'waiting for log' and a number from ages ago. It's like the primary isn't even talking to the standby. The listener is up and running ok though...
What else can we check/do?
If we manually copy across files and do an 'alter database register' then they are applied to the standby without issue; there's just no automatic log shipping going on...
Thanks
Ross

Hi all
Many thanks for all the responses.
The database is 10.2.0.2.0, on AIX 6.
I believe the password files are ok; we've had issues previously and this is always flagged in the alert log on the primary - not the case here.
Not set to DEFER on primary; log_archive_dest_2 is set to service="STBY_PHP" optional delay=720 reopen=30 and log_archive_dest_state_2 is set to ENABLE.
I ran those troubleshooting scripts, info from standby:

NOW - before you say it - :) - yes, I'm aware that fal_client as STBY_R1P and fal_server as R1P are incorrect - should be PHP - but it looks like it's always been this way! Well, as least for the last 4 years where it's worked fine, as I found an old SP file and it still has R1P set in there...?!?
Any ideas?

How to restore a database from host A to host B by using RMAN

Hi there
I wanted to restore 1 database from machine A to machine B with the differente files systemes. I did these steps below, but I have a problem when I restore the controlfile from machine A to machine B.

Hi there
I'm also trying to restore a full RMAN backup to our DR site using Netbackup as MML
My scenario is:
We have one tape library at our PROD data center and another one at our DR site both using Netbackup as Storage manager
I performed a full RMAN backup on 4 DLT tapes with recovery catalog at our PROD datacenter, then I removed the 4 tapes and place it in our tape lib at DR site
I tried to import the tapes using bpimport from Netbackup which has been successful up to now

Query to compare 2 different tables from 2 different database

Is it possible to write a SQL query to compare 2 Tables from 2 different Oracle Database. Also I need a query to do the same when the database is same.
Thanks in advance

OK, well "compare" can mean one of two things: Compare structure or compare contents. Here is a quick script to compare column structures of two tables on one database:
(select COLUMN_NAME,
DATA_TYPE,
DATA_LENGTH,
DATA_PRECISION,
DATA_SCALE,
NULLABLE
from dba_Tab_columns
where owner=:OWNR1
and table_name = :tablename
minus
select COLUMN_NAME,
DATA_TYPE,
DATA_LENGTH,
DATA_PRECISION,
DATA_SCALE,
NULLABLE
from dba_Tab_columns
where owner=:ownr2
and table_name = :tablename)
union all
(select COLUMN_NAME,
DATA_TYPE,
DATA_LENGTH,
DATA_PRECISION,
DATA_SCALE,
NULLABLE
from dba_Tab_columns
where owner=:ownr2
and table_name = :tablename
minus
select COLUMN_NAME,
DATA_TYPE,
DATA_LENGTH,
DATA_PRECISION,
DATA_SCALE,
NULLABLE
from dba_Tab_columns
where owner=:ownr1
and table_name = :tablename)
If this query returns any rows, then these indicate that there are structural differences between the tables. We do a minus in both directions to ensure that an additional column in either schema will be returned in the query.
If you are going across dblinks to remote tables then you have to amend the "dba_tab_columns" to "sys.dba_tab_columns@yourdblink"
If you also want to compare indexes, triggers, etc then do the same sort of thing for the associated dba_ views for those objects.
And if you want to compare table contents, then often the fastest way is also to check minuses in both directions, if the tables are not too big:
e.g.
(select * from schema1.table@dblink1
minus
select * from schema2.table@dblink2)
union all
(select * from schema2.table@dblink2
minus
select * from schema1.table@dblink1)
local tables, of course, simply omit the "@dblink" issues.
There are tools to help in such things. TOAD, for example, has a pretty good schema comparison tool, and there are plenty of other options out there. But if you need to script this yourself then the logic I've shown is a good starting point.
Cheers,
Mike

Problem with restoring a database from cold backup

All,
I've got a 10.2.0.4 database that we perform a cold backup on every night with RMAN. On Sunday 2/21, we have level 0 backup. On Monday-Wednesday nights, we take a cold level 1. We also perform a controlfile auto backup each night.
On a second server where I want to restore the database (same version of Oracle 10.2.0.4), I've copied the control file auto backups, the level 0 and the most recent level 1. I now want to restore. I use an RMAN script similar to the following to restore the control files:
connect target /;
set dbid 1973354860;
# Restore the controlfile from the tag that auto backed up the controlfile at the end of the level 0
run
startup nomount;
allocate channel c1 type disk;
restore controlfile to '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/ORADB1/control01.ctl' from AUTOBACKUP;
restore controlfile to '/u02/app/oracle/oradata/ORADB1/control02.ctl' from AUTOBACKUP;
restore controlfile to '/u03/app/oracle/oradata/ORADB1/control03.ctl' from AUTOBACKUP;
release channel c1;
shutdown immediate;
After the control files restore successfully, I perform some RMAN checks to ensure that all of the files I need for a recovery are there. The RMAN> list backup of database; command shows all of my backup savesets as AVAILABLE for the level0 and level1 backups.
I then try a restore database command; and get the following errors:
RMAN> run
2> {
3> allocate channel c1 type disk;
4> allocate channel c2 type disk;
5> allocate channel c3 type disk;
6> allocate channel c4 type disk;
7> restore database from tag='TAG20100221T200045';

So I'm unclear as to why RMAN believes the backups of these files don't exist when I attempt to restore the database. Anyone have a clue?
NOTE: I've also tried to restore spcifically with the tag= clause but I get the same results:
RMAN> restore database from tag='TAG20100221T200045';

Just as a follow on to my last post, after the RMAN-06023 messages, I list backups of the three datafiles and as you can see RMAN thinks that they are available. If I exit RMAN and list them at the OS level, they are where RMAN things they should be:

Database restore to test from production

Hi,
I am having 500+ GB database running in AIX with ASM. creating disk backups using rman and moving to Test server.. i like to know the commands for restore and recovery from disk to ASM in test server:
Prod server : ASM on AIX single instance
rman database backup to disk (SID : PROD)
ftp to test serverTest server: ASM on AIX single instance
clean up exiting database (SID : TEST)
rman restore and recover command from disk The rman command i am using for backup is :
run
allocate channel backup_disk1 type disk;
allocate channel backup_disk2 type disk;
allocate channel backup_disk3 type disk;
sql "ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT";
backup
format='<path>/Sml_full_bck_%Y%M%D_%d_%s_%p.dbf'
database
plus archivelog
filesperset=1;
backup
format='<path>/Tp_cntl_%Y%M%D_%d_%s_%p.ctl'
current controlfile;
#sql "alter system switch logfile";
release channel backup_disk1;
release channel backup_disk2;
release channel backup_disk3;
What would be ideal command for restore....

we have some issues with network....need to ftp manually after taking backup..i am looking around for the restore command like
run
allocate channel t1 type disk;
restore database from '/<path>' to '+DATA';
recover database;
release channel t1;
just want some clarifications on syntax especially from disk backup restore to ASM disk groups and recover from there..
