[URGENT] Problem to Restore Database from backup

Mrs,

I'm having a serious problem in SQL 2000 SP3 Database which is used Business Applications.
Today, I tryied to take backup in service time by the Enterprize Manager, the following
error occured and could not take backup.
--
Error 926 : Database '[database name]' cannot opened. It has been marked SUSPECT by recovery.
See the SQL Server errorlog for more information.
--
After that, we tried same operation 3 times. But result is same.

After sometime, end-user report us that they can not log-in to database.

So we tried to dettach this database and attached it.
We success to dettach, but we can not attached it.

Also we tried to restore this database from Yesterday's backup file by using Enterprize Manager,
but the following error occured, and could not complete.
This backup file was generated daily backup task in Maintenance Plan in Enterprize Manager.
--
Microsoft SQl-DMO(ODBC SQLState:42000)
The media family on device "E:\ccd\......xxx.bak" is incorrectly formed.
SQL Server cannot process this media family.
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

--

We need to recover the database immediately not to stop the end-user business process.
Please help us.

Yamagury.

refer , http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1977204&SiteID=1 try as suggested and get back.... also you need to apply SP4 or go to sql 2005 as sql 2000 sp3 has ended its life cycle in july 10th 2007 itself....

|||Thank you for your support.

Yes, We already tried to apply SP4.
But this problem was not solved.

Now I'm trying to do as your instruction.|||(you had to back up the transaction log before you perform any restore operations and hadn't detach it before.

You had to verify your backup with RESTORE VERIFYONLY statement .)

use RESTORE HEADERONLY and see if you have multiple backup files in the the same backup file. If yes then
try using FILE= option while restoring.

File is from :

RESTORE DATABASE { database_name | @.database_name_var }
< file_or_filegroup > [ ,...n ]
[ FROM < backup_device > [ ,...n ] ]
[ WITH
[ RESTRICTED_USER ]
[ [ , ] FILE = { file_number | @.file_number } ] .....

see Books Online

(Why do you have not SP4?

Dear Deepak

I tried to create database and swap mdf/ldf file.
and go into single user mode, and then run DBCC CHECKDB with REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS,

but, DBCC command return error. Database could not be repaired.

How can I do after this?|||

Ok you can try as follows,

Alter database DBname set emergency

this will bring your db into emergency mode so that you can access your db and then subsequently export the datas alone from this db to another db so that you can minimize the dataloss.....if you have a full backup then drop this suspect database and restore it from full backup but there will be dataloss to minimize it set the db as emergency mode and export the tables,sps etc which you feel is required to another db in UAT server and script those and rerun the script in the restored db

[Transfer SQL Server Objects Task] Error: Table "XXXXXXX" does not exist at the source

Does anyone know what could be causing the error on Transfer SQL Server Objects Task? I tried to develope a SSIS project in the Business Intelligence studio to transfer table between databases on the same server. However, I have been getting the following error:

[Transfer SQL Server Objects Task] Error: Table "XXXXXX" does not exist at the source.

Is there a setting that I need to change to make this work? Thank you for your help.

Is the table you've specified to move on the task in the source database?|||

Yes. It is in there. I can see it in the selection list after I select the database. Thanks.

And Transfer SQL Server Objecdts Task is the only task in that SSIS package.

|||I think your problem is related to the schema of the table you are trying to copy.

I created table "testtable" in testdb1. The schema was "dbo". I could transfer this table to another database named testdb2 in the same server using Transfer SQL Server Objects Task.

Then, I changed the schema of "testtable" to "guest". When I executed the same task, I got the error message "[Transfer SQL Server Objects Task] Error: Table "testtable" does not exist at the source. "|||

Thanks for your response. Where di you create the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task"? Is it under control flow or data flow? When I had the error to only task I had was the "Transfer SQL SErver Obejcts Task" under Control Flow.

Thanks.

|||Transfer SQL Server Objects is a Control Flow task. I had my task in the control flow tab and the task I have explained above was the only task I had in the package.|||I had the exact issue when I transfer the data (both table and xml schema) from my dev. box to the production server. It seemed to me that this particular control task recognizes only the dbo schema. Is this bug fixed in SP1?|||No. We are looking to fix this issue in one of the future releases.|||I am trying to figure out exactly what the issue is here -- can we not copy tables from one database to another at all at this time? I had both tables as dbo schemas, and I had a different error, this time about the destination not being available. I set the schema owner of the tables to be the same as the authenticated user, and then I received the error that it does not exist at the source.

At this time (10/2006), is there any way to copy tables from one server to another via SSIS? I would think this basic of a task would be the first to work on a newer DTS... ?

Thanks in advance

I am hoping someone will answer the last question. I cannot beleive you would release a product with such a simple task not working. As a workaround, I suppose I can create an SMO task to handle this, but that is more development time than I had expected to use. Please fix this with your NEXT release, not an undetermined FUTURE release. This type of missing functionality is hard to point at and convince anyone in the position of making decisions to migrate to 2005. Come on guys and gals.

Hi Cliff!

I'd like to share my frustration with Transfer SQL Server Object Task. I am trying to do something very simple - transfer 3 tables with primary/foreign keys, referential ingegrity and some data and spent hours of fruitless tweaking of the task. If someone offers a very simple step by step process on how to configure the "Transfer SQL Server Object task" to do that, I would be very grateful.

|||Are you planning on fixing this in SP2?|||Hi

I'd like to add my vote for this feature request. Can someone from the dev team tell if the decision of fixing this has already been taken somehow ?

Any insight will be most welcome, and will help us pick the right solution.

Hi,

I am also having problems with the "Transfer SQL Server Objects" task. It simply does not work.

The editor interface is sweet, however, and looks very promising. My issue is that I cannot debug this task. I cannot see the code that is generated by the task, and logging does not reveal what I want: the SQL code or whatever code is generated by the task. I want to see the actual table name syntax contained in the resultant command sent over, with the assumption that there is something wrong there.

The documentation is very clear, promising effective results. The reality is different, however. This is simply a management issue. The product was released too early, and the testing regimen must have been inadequate or mismatched with the document.

I have the Evaluation Version of Enterprise. The SMO connectors all test properly, and there is no other problem. The wizard works fine from SSMS, and when I save the output from the wizard to a package, the package does not use the "Transfer SQL Server Objects" task.

So, guys, what we have here is a defect.

This is very annoying, and I will write a letter to Bill Gates requesting immediate attention to this issue.

|||The fix is not released yet.

I created table "testtable" in testdb1. The schema was "dbo". I could transfer this table to another database named testdb2 in the same server using Transfer SQL Server Objects Task.

Then, I changed the schema of "testtable" to "guest". When I executed the same task, I got the error message "[Transfer SQL Server Objects Task] Error: Table "testtable" does not exist at the source. "|||

Thanks for your response. Where di you create the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task"? Is it under control flow or data flow? When I had the error to only task I had was the "Transfer SQL SErver Obejcts Task" under Control Flow.

Thanks.

|||Transfer SQL Server Objects is a Control Flow task. I had my task in the control flow tab and the task I have explained above was the only task I had in the package.|||I had the exact issue when I transfer the data (both table and xml schema) from my dev. box to the production server. It seemed to me that this particular control task recognizes only the dbo schema. Is this bug fixed in SP1?|||No. We are looking to fix this issue in one of the future releases.|||I am trying to figure out exactly what the issue is here -- can we not copy tables from one database to another at all at this time? I had both tables as dbo schemas, and I had a different error, this time about the destination not being available. I set the schema owner of the tables to be the same as the authenticated user, and then I received the error that it does not exist at the source.

At this time (10/2006), is there any way to copy tables from one server to another via SSIS? I would think this basic of a task would be the first to work on a newer DTS... ?

Thanks in advance

I am hoping someone will answer the last question. I cannot beleive you would release a product with such a simple task not working. As a workaround, I suppose I can create an SMO task to handle this, but that is more development time than I had expected to use. Please fix this with your NEXT release, not an undetermined FUTURE release. This type of missing functionality is hard to point at and convince anyone in the position of making decisions to migrate to 2005. Come on guys and gals.

Hi Cliff!

I'd like to share my frustration with Transfer SQL Server Object Task. I am trying to do something very simple - transfer 3 tables with primary/foreign keys, referential ingegrity and some data and spent hours of fruitless tweaking of the task. If someone offers a very simple step by step process on how to configure the "Transfer SQL Server Object task" to do that, I would be very grateful.

|||Are you planning on fixing this in SP2?|||Hi

I'd like to add my vote for this feature request. Can someone from the dev team tell if the decision of fixing this has already been taken somehow ?

Any insight will be most welcome, and will help us pick the right solution.

Hi,

I am also having problems with the "Transfer SQL Server Objects" task. It simply does not work.

The editor interface is sweet, however, and looks very promising. My issue is that I cannot debug this task. I cannot see the code that is generated by the task, and logging does not reveal what I want: the SQL code or whatever code is generated by the task. I want to see the actual table name syntax contained in the resultant command sent over, with the assumption that there is something wrong there.

The documentation is very clear, promising effective results. The reality is different, however. This is simply a management issue. The product was released too early, and the testing regimen must have been inadequate or mismatched with the document.

I have the Evaluation Version of Enterprise. The SMO connectors all test properly, and there is no other problem. The wizard works fine from SSMS, and when I save the output from the wizard to a package, the package does not use the "Transfer SQL Server Objects" task.

So, guys, what we have here is a defect.

This is very annoying, and I will write a letter to Bill Gates requesting immediate attention to this issue.

[SQL 2005 Express] Question on Business Intelligence Development Studio (VS2005)

I am trying to create a report using BI Development Studio.

In Pivot Table, I can change the presentation of the data area to align with row or column, just like this:

However, I can't seem to do that in BI Development Studio while designing the report. Does any of you know how to change the presentation of the data area of a report?

This is how it looks like now, the data area is sticking to the COLUMN, but I need them to stick with ROW so that I can handle more columns...
http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/4066/untitlednc8.pngmanage to resolve it by inserting just 1 details, then insert "Add ROW" at the details. This thing doesn't come with the Wizard. :D
