Hi all,

Disclaimer: Please forgive me on these questions (I feel that they are rather core to how backups and log shipping works in SQL and I should have gotten a better understanding of them by reading through MSDN documents, however my reading through the relative material just resulted in more confusion and questions)

I am trying to understand what the recommended approach is for a scenario where I am maintaining a hot backup of our DBs but at the same would like to be able to restore the DBs on our staging or development environments on demand. Let me try to give a little background on my current configuration:

We currently have about 15 databases (all SQL 2008 R2) we have enabled transactional log shipping on these databases to our secondary location. In addition we have maintenance plans created for weekly fully backups and daily differential backups on these databases.

Question 1: I currently use a separate job for each DB for backing up, copying, and finally restoring log shipping (this results in 3x15 about 45 jobs) Is this the recommended approach ? (It seems like at the least the copy operation should be done with a single job rather then multiple jobs to optimize the network usage as the traffic is going to a secondary data center at a different physical location), but if I use this approach and then go and delete one of the log shipping configurations wouldn't this also remove the copy job which will effect all DBs ?

Question 2: I have setup maintenance plans which take weekly full DB backups and daily differential backups, please help me understand what setting the expiration date for these plans do. Reading the MSDN documentation it say this will determine when the file will be overwritten however I am confused by this statement, in summary I am trying to understand how SQL determines which full backup file the differential backups are based off of and when it is actually safe to delete a file.  For example if I take a full backups every Sunday at 1:00 AM, and I have a different scheduled task which takes differential backups daily at 1:00 AM how does differential job know the which sunday full backup at 1:00 AM completed successfully (say you kept your bkp files around for 3 weeks you would end up with 3 .bkp files to choose from) and that it should be using that file as what it should base itself off of ?

Question 3: Building onto question 2, when using a once a week full backup and daily differential backups, is each daily differential backup cumulative of all the changes from previous differential backups or do you need all differential backups to that day to be able to bring a DB up to date ? ( so if I want to restore to a point in time on Wednesday do I need the full back up from last Sunday plus the differential backups from Monday and Tuesday or do I just need the differential backup from Tuesday ?)

Question 4: Because I enabled transaction log shipping it is my understanding that I should NOT be using a transactional log backup maintenance task in addition to this approach (there is also a note in the log shipping configuration which says "If you backup the transaction logs of this database with any other job or maintenance plan, Management studio will not be able to restore the backups on the secondary sever instances"). So given this how does one go about creating an up to date replica of our DB for staging or development use ? My assumption is you would take the most recent full backup then figure out which differential backups to use, however after that what do you do about which transaction logs you should be applying (it seems that the transaction logs generated for log shipping do not really line up with the differential backups created with the maintenance plan) ?

Thank you in advance for guidance.

Hi all,

 

Simple question hopefully. We are installing an app that requires Canadian English and Canadian French language support. When installing SQL server:

1) Do we require UNICODE?

2) What collation should we specify for the SQL server to support both languages in our database?

3) If our SQL server has been installed withdefault settings/collation, if we create the db in (whatever collation you specify in #2 above), will there be any behavioural problems for sorting, whatever?

 

Thanks, i guess i may not understand the use of unicode/collations that well...yet.

 

Hi Guys,

I just now installed the free edition of SQL Server 2014 (Management Studio only edition).

During installation I was not allowed to provide an instance name. Post installation when I am trying to connect the server using the management  studio it fails consistently.

I have tried using LocalDB, (local), SQLExpress and all other combinations (machine\LocalDB) etc.

When I open the SQL Config Manager there "SQL Server Services" has no entries.

Can someone help me in getting the server name to connect to?

Regards,

Hi, I'm trying to install SQL 2012 RTM Enterprise on a Windows 2008 R2 single node cluster.

The installer starts goes through some checks and then fails with the message 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' It happens while the small 'wait while...' dialog box is showing, another window pops up briefly (I think the feature selection window - can't really tell as it doesn't draw before disappearing). Then the ‘Object reference not set’ message comes up.

From the summary log file..

I am trying to install the free SQL Server Express application.  It had me first install some application installer.  The screen, when trying to do the install, says "Initializing" and then prompts me to save a file (which I am assuming is the Express package).  After I select a location, it thinks for a little bit and then I get "unable to save file" and prompts me for a new location.  I have administrator privileges and am trying to save it to a non-compressed drive. I could not find anything in the forums specific to this problem.  Any clues?

Hi, I'm tryng to install sql server 2008 in win vista and in the System Configuration Check, item: Performance counter registry hive consistency check has the status FAILED  all the others items has PASSED and the setup stops here theonly option is CANCEL.

So, there are three machines which are running on the Hyper-V. Below are the machine details;

1st machine - Working as Domain controller and its name is "ACONDomainGroup" and allocated to 1GB RAM to use.

2nd machine - Working as Node1 and its name is "AconNODE1W2K12STD" and allocated to 2.5GB RAM to use.

3rd machine - Working as Node1 and its name is "AconNODE1W2K12STD" and allocated to 1.5GB RAM to use.

and the windows virtual cluster name is "AconWinCLTR". While I am doing the SQL Cluster Installation, I am getting below mentioned error. all systems have 4.5 .net installed. May you please guide me where and what i am missing to complete sql clustering.....

I get this message on two different machines installing SQL2014 developer edition, a Windows 7 and a Windows 8 machine. Both machines have SQL2005 through SQL2012 developer machines installed and working great. I have tried uninstalling all SQL2014 stuff and installing again making sure I was running as an Administrator to no avail. 

How do I look at sys.key_encryptionswhen the server will not start to finish installation?

Hi,

Do you know where I can check to see what kind of version of SSDT-BI for VS2012 I have installed?

Thank you.

After installation of Windows 2010 server.

can any one tell me...what are the next steps to work with Exchange Server 2010 ?

The SQL Server Cloud Adapter is installed when you use a pre-configured Azure VM for SQL Server:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn169301(v=sql.120).aspx

How do you install this if you do your own manual SQL Server install on an Azure VM?

If it is not installed, can you still use the Deploy to Azure wizard in Management Studio?

I have 64-bit Windows 8.1 with all the latest upgrades (downloaded from MSDN last week). I have had SQL Express 2012 With Advanced Services installed for a long time and all working correctly.

When I do an in-place upgrade to SQL Express 2014 with Advanced Services (RTM), it doesn't do the upgrade; it just disables and stops the Browser Service so I can't connect with SSMS. When I restart the Browser Service, I can connect again but the splash screen shows SQL 2012 and when I am connected, the version is 11.0.3128.

I subsequently tried a Repair option but this didn't achieve anything and there were no errors in the log file. If you can remind me where to find it, I can post it here.
