Standard Edition automated export

I currently have a SQL Azure database using the old Web edition and have configured automated export. This is very useful for keeping long term daily backups. I am just trying out the new Standard edition and have found the automated export is disabled with
the message "Automated export is not supported for this database".
Please tell me this won't be a Premium only feature as it is the only current way to do an automated backup without the use of a third party tool.

Hello,
The Automated Export (Preview) feature is not support in the new Basic and Standard tiers currently. For disaster recovery solution in Standard edition, you can try to use Database Copy and Manual Export.

  • SDK support in Pro and Standard editions.

    Hi,
    I want to convert PDF file into DOCX programatically. I have written the code using Acrobat SDK and tried with Acrobat X Pro trial version, and it works fine. I just want to confirm whether Acrobat X Standard edition supports exporting PDF to DOCX via SDK? and whether my code will work in Standard edition.
    Also, want to know whether there are any differences between Pro and Standard editions in terms of SDK support.
    With regards,

    Hi,
    Apologies for missing the code.
    Below is the code:
                AcroPDDoc pdDocument = new AcroPDDocClass();
                if (pdDocument != null)
                    try
                        // Open PDF file.
                        result = pdDocument.Open(location);
                        if (result)
                            // If PDF file is opened then get the docx file name.
                            string docxFileName = string.Concat(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(location), ".docx");
                            docxFileName = Path.Combine(Path.GetFullPath(tempPath), docxFileName);
                            try
                                object jsObject = pdDocument.GetJSObject();
                                Type type = jsObject.GetType();
                                type.InvokeMember("saveAs", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, jsObject,
                                    new object[] { docxFileName, "com.adobe.acrobat.docx" });
                            finally
                                pdDocument.Close();
                                pdDocument = null;
                    finally
                        pdDocument = null;
    I have gone through the feature list of Standard edition on Acrobat site and it mentions that it has feature of exporting it to Word. But since I was not able to find trial version of standard version, I am not able to test the code.
    I want to make the decision on buying the edition based on the export to DOCX feature programatically. Hence wanted to confirm.

  • ASM Direct file access (for creating standby database in Standard Edition)

    Hi all,
    Just really looking for any opinions, experience etc. that people may have about this.
    My company are looking to set up a RAC system. They have also asked me to think about creating a standby database for disaster recovery. The first problem they give me here is that they only pay for Standard Edition of Oracle, therefore Dataguard is not an option.
    I know that one can setup "manual" standby databases with Standard Edition, automating the shipping of archive logs with hand-written scripts etc. However, as the primary here is RAC, and will be using ASM on the shared storage, I'm not sure that this would be possible (and I'm even less sure that it would be desirable!). I say this because I don't know of a way to access (using only the O/S and/or Oracle) the database files stored in ASM, and even if there was a way, I can't imagine it being a good idea..
    Anybody know of a way to tackle it, or care to contribute anything to this? As I say, my opinion is that even if it is possible to get to those files within ASM and hence manipulate them, I'd be worried that it wouldn't be such a good idea. But I'm willing to bet I'm not the first to have thought about it...
    Regards,
    Ados
    Edit 1:
    Sorry, I should state that in principal, the basic environment is:
    Windows 2003 Server
    Oracle 10g R2
    I didn't state that originally though, as I'd be keen to hear from anyone who may have attempted this on any O/S and Oracle version.
    Edited by: Ados on 16-sep-2009 9:32
    Edit 2:
    I also realise we could put the archive logs on the local nodes.. but to reinforce the point, I'm talking about having them on the shared storage where - in theory - the management is easier and more effective.
    Edited by: Ados on 16-sep-2009 9:35

    For anyone interested..
    I guess it would be done using RMAN (in fact, I'm sure of it...) in which case, I feel a lot more comfortable doing it!!
    For example:
    backup as copy archivelog ALL to destination 'c:\temp\';
    This way, it shouldn't matter if the arch logs are stored using ASM, we can now get them and "see" them.. and hence "manipulate" them (pass them on to a standby DB, for example).
    I'm just waiting to get my hands on a Standard Edition installation where I can test all this.. To try it all out (with 2-node RAC, and a standby server) I don't think I'll get a chance, so still interested in opinions, or if anyone's actually done this.

    Ados

  • Huge size scheme export in standard edition

    Hi,
    Source:-
    Oracle 10.2.0.3 standard edition on Linux.
    Destination:-
    Oracle 11gR2 - enterprise edition.
    I have to export a scheme of size 250+ gb, it taking long time to export as we do not have parallelism too in STD edition.
    Is there any way? Where I can perform export & import faster?
    Constraint is expdp of schema taking 30+ hours, so If transportable tablespaces, then is there any compatibility problem with source and destination versions and editions?
    An what is the procedure?
    Thanks.

    Can i use 11gR2 binaries to perform TTS of 10g Std edition database?
    You could concurrently run multiple export sessions with table lists --- but you wouldn't get data consistency if the tables are being updated.Thanks for your information.
    This question is now out of TTS, talking in general expdp/impdp.
    I have posted this question in Export/import division of Database, But no quick responses so i moved my question to Database-General.
    Solomon Yakobson mentioned we can use 11gR2 binaries to perform export schema of 10g database, from below link.

  • Automated export appearing on database list

    Hello,
    I have an Azure SQL Database (Web edition) with an automated export set for daily exports.
    Sometimes (like today for instance) when I log into Azure management portal, I see an additional database listed with the name of my export.
    As far as I know, an export should not be listed as a new available database, right?
    Why this is happening and how can I fix that?
    Thank you,
    Igor
    .NET Software developer for industrial internet and automation system.

    Hello Igor, 
    Thank you for asking this question.
    The Automated Export service creates a database copy of the database you are exporting. It then will perform the export operation on the copy of the database. This is done to guarantee transaction consistency during the export. After the export has completed
    the database copy will be deleted. 
    You can learn more about Import/Export and Automated Export here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh335292.aspx
    Additionally if you are interested in our Basic, Standard, or Premium service tiers, they come with built-in restore capabilities.
    You can learn more about these capabilities and other business continuity capabilities here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh852669.aspx
    If you would like to share more about your scenario or discuss Azure SQL Database's backup and restore capabilities in further detail please email me at Elfish at Microsoft dot com.
    Thanks and I hope this helps,

  • Oracle 8.1.7.4.1 Enterprise to Oracle 10.2.0.3.0 Standard Edition migration

    Hi,
    I'm in the planning stage of migrating an Oracle 8.1.7.4.1 Enterprise database to an Oracle 10.2.0.3.0 Standard Edition and i have a couple of questions.
    1) Can it be done or do i have to migrate to Oracle 10.2.0.3.0 Enterprise Edition?
    2) If it can be done can i
    a) follow the manual upgrade process to upgrade to 10.2.0.3.0 Standard Edition?
    b) use export to take an 8.1.7.4.1 enterprise export and then import it into a new empty 10.2.0.3.0 database?
    I've read the 10g upgrade guide but i can't see any pointers on this but please feel free to point me to any documentation resources.
    Thanks in anticipation of you help.

  • Migration of Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard Edition to new hardware

    Hi
    I have a Windows SBS 2011 Standard Edition installation, of which, the windows component is very buggy.  Everything on the server is working i.e. AD, Email.  I am unable to shutdown the server gracefully, i am unable to open the system manager.
     Backups also are not running, so i don't have a proper backup that i can use.
    I want to migrate my Windows SBS installation to some standby equipment which i have, then reinstall the old server with Windows SBS 2011 and migrate back from the standby equipment to the original hardware.
    I know this is possible, and i know that Windows SBS 2011 gives a 21 days grace period to complete the migration.
    Is the path i have mentioned above seems to be viable for me to try and get back to my original hardware, with a fresh installation of Windows SBS, keeping AD and Microsoft Exchange intact.
    Regards

    Will not work as you have outlined it.  The installation of a new server installs a new SID and you cannot add SBS to SBS domains.  The only chance you have at this is to install a new non-SBS DC in the domain, export the mail assuming you are
    using Exchange, move the shares to the new DC or some other system, pull out the SBS from the domain, move all the FSMO roles and have a stand alone Server Domain without SBS.  Then, add SBS back to the domain in the documented manner.
    I suggest you contact www.sbsmigration.com for a documented and supported method to accomplish this migration.

  • Standby implementation in Standard Edition

    To All,
    I am Ashok(DBA) from Nepal. My country is a developing country and cannot afford Oracle Entreprise Edition in most of the instuations.
    So I need to implement Standby database in Oracle Standard Edition. I need this feature both in Windows and Unix based platform.
    I will be grateful if suggestions come on implementing this feature in Standard edition.

    Hi!
    1) This is the wrong forum (try the Database forum).
    2) Yes, Oracle software is expensive.
    3) In order to use the DataGuard (Standby database) you need the Enterprise Edition.
    4) Workaround is to export / import regularly and use XE.

  • Standby DB on Standard Edition

    Hi,
    I've just created standby database using Oracle DBMS 10.2.0.2 Standard Edition on IBM AIX 5L. Because it's Standard Edition, I had to use a operating system scripts for log shipping and log apply operations. My log apply script looks like that:
    #!/bin/sh
    export ORACLE_SID=ORCL
    sqlplus "/ as sysdba" <<EOF
    set echo on
    spool /oracle/standby/logs/logapply_ORCL.log
    alter database recover automatic standby database until cancel;
    alter database recover cancel;
    spool off
    EOF
    in the logapply_ORCL.log file i always find a message like that listed below:
    SQL> alter database recover automatic standby database until cancel;
    alter database recover automatic standby database until cancel

    I know that this error is ok, and it means that Oracle couldn't find file which probably doesn't exist. Is it possible to have that information more friendly or presented in more pleasant way?
    Thanks,

    since, you are on unix, you can do anything you want with the logfile. Just cut out the message and replace it with a new one.

  • Any Complete Tutorials On How To Edit And Export MIDI Files In GB?

    Hi. A friend sent me about 25 nice standard MIDI files that all open fine in QT Pro. She wants me to drag and drop them into GarageBand 2, attempt to edit them, change sounds and then export them out as the edited versions, key changes, added bars, change instrument sounds, etc,. Although I'm a trained musician who understands form, I really don't have a clue on how to use GB to edit and export standard MIDI files. Can this be done effectively in GB ver 2 or 3?
    Basically what she then wants to do is take the edited MIDI tracks, put them into itunes I guess on her iBook G4 or Ipod and do a solo act playing her keyboard live and usibg the MIDI tracks as background.
    Are there any links to step by step tutorials on how I can lerarn this procedure? Please offer any advice and links if you can and thanks for your help

    Not really practical, I'm afraid. Capturing screenshots and cutting them up is possible with Photoshop, but PDF editing is very limited (fix a typo, move a picture).

  • Log File Issue In SQL server 2005 standard Edition

    We have database of size 375GB .The data file has 80 GB free space within .When trying to rebuild the index we had 450 GB free space on the disk where Log file is residing.The rebuild index activity failed due to space issue.added more space and got the
    job done successfully
    The Log file has grow up to 611GB to complete the rebuild index.
    version :SQL server 2005 Standard Edition .Is ther a way to estimate the space required for rebuild index in this version.
    I am aware we notmaly allocate 1.5 times of data file.But in this case It was totaly wrong.
    Any suggestion with examples would be appreciated.
    Raghu

    OK, there's a few things here.
    Can you outline for everybody the recovery model you are using, the frequency with which you take full, differential and transaction log backups.
    Are you selectively rebuilding your indexes or are you rebuilding everything?
    How often are you doing this? Do you need to?
    There are some great resources on automated index maintenance, check out
    this post by Kendra Little.
    Depending on your recovery point objectives I would expect a production database to be in the full recovery mode and as part of this you need to be taking regular log backups otherwise your log file will just continue to grow. By taking a log backup it will
    clear out information from inactive VLF's and therefore allow SQL Server to write back to those VLF's rather than having to grow the log file. This is a simplified version of events, there are caveats.
    A VLF will be marked as active if it still has an open transaction in it or there is a HA option that still requires that data to be available as that data has not been copied to another node yet.
    Most customers that I see take transaction log backups every 15 - 30 minutes, but this really does depend upon how much data your company can afford to lose. That's another discussion for another day.
    Make sure that you take a transaction log backup prior to your job that does your index rebuilds (hopefully a smart job not a sledge hammer job).
    As mentioned previously swapping to bulk logged can help to reduce the size of the amount of information logged during index rebuilds. If you do this make sure to swap back into the full recovery model straight after and perform a full backup. There are
    problems with the ability to do point in time restores whilst in the bulk logged recovery model, so you need to reduce the amount of time you use it.
    Really you also need to look at how your indexes are created does the design of them lead to them being fragmented on a regular basis? Are they being used? Are there better indexes out there that can help performance?
    Hopefully that should put you on the right track.
    If you find this helpful, please mark the post as helpful,
    If you think this solves the problem, please propose or mark it an an answer.
    Please provide details on your SQL Server environment such as version and edition, also DDL statements for tables when posting T-SQL issues

  • Physical standby database in Standard Edition.

    Hi, we have Standard Edition and want to implement a stand by environment. Is it true that with this edition archive logs are not transported automatically to the stand by server using LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST = my_stdby_service ?
    Also, let's suposse I managed to transport archive logs, do they get applied by stand by database automatically or with Standard Edition the only way we have is applying them manually?
    Thanks and regards.

    Hi
    Ref to your SE Standby database, if you are still looking for an Automated Solution you can visit www.anbultechnologies.co.uk . In solutions you can find a product which provides fully automated Standby solution with Automatic failover. We have been using that solution for couple of years without any problems.

  • What replication methods are available in Oracle 10g Standard Edition?

    Hi All,
    Our customer wants to have two identical servers at two different sites (Virginia and Utah). Server in Virginia will be the primary and the other one will be Standby. Application will run on the primary database and they would like to be able to use the Utah server (standby) in the event of a failure. The switch over can be manual or automated and does not have to be instantaneous.
    I know these things can be in Enterprise Edition, but the cost is an issue here, so I was wondering what other methods are available to achieve this goal with Standard Edition database running on Windows Server 2008?
    Thank you,
    Sinan

    Spajdy,
    According to the Data Guard documentation:
    Getting Started with Data Guard
    "Oracle Data Guard is available only as a feature of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition. It is not available with Oracle Database Standard Edition."
    Unfortunately, the cost is a concern. I would love to be able to use just the Enterprise Edition and Golden Gate or Data Guard, but it is not possible, so my manager says I have to do what I have to do with the Standard Edition.
    Thanks,
    Sinan
