Incrementally Backup MS SQL Server 2005 Database By Program That Uses The Database Also
Oct 19, 2009
before re-inventing the wheel, i want to ask you how i can do this best: I have a VB.Net application that uses a database connection to MS SQL Server 2005 (express version). There are users that input data with the application into the database lets say once to 2x an hour to once a minute. I want to do backups like this: Once a day or once a week (in the evening) a full backup, and whenever the program/user is idle for lets say 10 Minutes, i want to do an incremental backup (so that it does not take so long until he can work on after the backup).
There are no big security issues, just copying the backup data files to a network share / a different computer or server would be fine. i guess the average db size may be 300MB, but the daily increments about 1MB.
Or anybody can tell me : HoW can create storeprocedure which contains this code.I created a store procedure but it cant be saved.If i create a storeprocedure which contains this code then problem will resolved.
When user process the backup, it should take a backup in specified location. The backup file should be like "BKP_F_YYYYMMDDHHMMSEC" e.g. "BKP_F_20100406131523.BAK" (where 2010 = Year, 04 = Month, 06 = Date, 13 = HOur, 15 = Minute, 23 = Second). When user process a backup on next day the backup file name should be same as the above with the different date and time. And i want this backup should be encrypted with password so that other person cannot restore my database.
I need to backup the sql server 2005 express database. It works fine if I make backup to specific folder"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackup". But if I change the path to any other path . I got an error "Backup failed for Server 'server name'. "
My code is Dim sqlBackup As New Backup() sqlBackup.Action = BackupActionType.Database sqlBackup.BackupSetDescription = "ArchiveDataBase:" + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString() sqlBackup.BackupSetName = "Archive" sqlBackup.Database = "data" [Code] .....
I am doing a simple backup of sql server database through VB.NET form. It gets executed well but I want to display details of successful query execution in a label (i.e. time taken, database size etc.)
The message which I want to display in label is like "Processed 296 pages for database 'aaa', file 'aaa' on file 1. Processed 1 pages for database 'aaa', file 'aaa_log' on file 1. BACKUP DATABASE successfully processed 297 pages in 0.522 seconds (4.660 MB/sec)."
This result we get in sql server query window when we execute backup query there. I want to get this message in label when I fire backup query from Windows form in VB.NET
i have i problem when making some program to backup database sql server 2000. i have task to develop program with requirement like this:
1. this program must backup database from sql server 2000 (success).
2. this program must compress the backup to the smaller size (Not success,because the backup file is more than 3,9 Gb. i am using SharpZip Wrapper and not succes because the size exceeded.)
3.Copy the backup file or compress to another computer (Succes but take a long time because the size of file is more than 3,9 Gb. That's why I want compress the file.)
any one can give me solution for compress large file with size more than 3,9 Gb. This file will continue to grow in size,so i need compress it so i can copy more quickly?
or any one can reference some freeware can do the task?
I am developing a vb.net application in SQL server 2005 ,now i would like to import MS access database tables from a network into sql server 2005 database, using stored procedure or vb.net code without using SQL server 2005 Wizard .
I recently upgraded the MS SQL Server installed on my personal computer from 2005 Express to 2008 Express. Problem is when I try to add an SQL database file to a project using VS 2005 I get an error message saying that the version of my database server is not supported, I must have SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 or later installed. I didn't do it yet but I'm pretty sure that when I open the other projects that I included a database file to it, I'm going to get the same error. My question is it possible to have two SQL Servers installed on my machine? If so, is it a good idea to have two DB servers in the same machine?
Ive created one database Sql Server Compact Edition 2005, with one table ("Cliente") I know that I can created my database good, but i have a problem saving information since three textbox, in my table(With columns "Nombre" "Apellido" "Cliente". In my form there is a button save ("Guardar"). When I do click in my button appear the next message : "The column cannot contain null values. [ Column name = Nombre,Table name = Cliente ] " and happen the same with apellido and Id_Cliente. And this happen becouse my code cant save the information....
This is the code
Option Explicit On Option Strict On
Imports System Imports System.IO Imports System.Data

And the code for my button is:
Private Sub cmdguardar_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdguardar.Click
Dim myconnection As SqlCeConnection Dim mycommand As SqlCeCommand

I am tring to make the below application work with SQL Server 2005 Database Currently it works for test.mdb, which is in the same folder with the application. How shoud I modify the MapPath to work with SQL Server.
I had made a project in VB.NET 2005 with SQL SERVER 2005 used as database. Now i want to make a setup of this project but i am unable to integrate sqldatabase and .net framework in this setup project. Is there any way to do this. Because it is assumed that the client does not have .NET Framework installed nor he has SQL Server on his system and the worst condition would be he does not have even internet connection from where these two setups can be downloaded if we give the condition for downloading these programs from the net if the client does not have these programs installed on his machine.
I am creating a very simple Voting System, that will be use on electing new set of officer in a teacher cooperative...
So I have to create two separate program, a Server Program that will manage all the information in the election and a Client Program where voters will vote their selected candidate...
The election officers wanted that the Server Program will display the Voting Results at real time... So when the Voter finished voting, The Voting Result displayed by the Server Program will also be updated every time the Client Program Insert the data to Database....
An action listener in Server Program that will execute if new data is inserted in a Table in the Database made by the Client Program...
I am using a database file Database1.mdf which have a tabel called student. This Database1.mdf is simply added by using the option Add New Item in Solution Explorer. The problem is that I am to able to update the database through form and code. The code is as:
Dim conn As SqlClient.SqlConnection Dim ada As SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter Dim cp As SqlClient.SqlCommandBuilder
[code]....
The ds is updated at run time, but as form is closed and run again the actual database table student is not updated.I have no idea what is going on. The same code work right with Access database and SQL database but in this case it is not working. I've tried on google but not getting satisfactory answer. I've also seen a post on this site but that is about ConnectionString, not about the database update.
'm just a beginner who want to learn on manipulating SQL Server data using vb.net. I have already experienced manipulating data in ms access. So I just recycled the code that I used in here. But unfortunately I got this error:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.And another problem is that, I'm not really sure if what I have inputted in the SqlConnection matches what is in SQL Server. Here is a screen shot of sql server management studio express:
Imorts system.data.sqlclient 'declarations Dim idnum As String
I'm trying to connect to a sql server 2005 database. I'm using the following connection string.
Dim cnn As OleDbConnection = _ New OleDbConnection("Provider=sqloledb;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=Iconics") Using this connection gives me the following error :
Error : Microsoft OLE DB PROVIDER FOR SQL SERVER : [DBNETLIB][Connection open(connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Does anybody know what is wrong with this connection string.
I have just downloaded SQL Server 2005 express edition from here:To be used as a database for a vb.net program. But I'm confused in using sql server. I do not know where to start from here:If not, where could I create the ms sql database? I'm a beginner and I want to learn.
I can connect to both databases with SQL Server Enterprise Manager, so I know the servers are up and available. One of them is SQL1, the other is SQLTEST.In my program when I use the following connection string, it work connects just fine:
conn = New DBConnect("Data Source=SQL1;Initial Catalog=SignInspection;Integrated Security=SSPI")
However, if I change SQL1 to SQLTEST the connection times out I don't get any errors other than the timeout error.I can run the profiler on SQLTest and see that it is most definitely NOT even attempting to connect.
EDIT:Well, it's a moot point now because I got authentication working properly on our SQL1 server.
First off, the web server is running IIS and .NET. Users are logged in to the intranet using Active Directory, and the .NET page needs to retrieve their log-in credentials (username most notably). The database is SQL Server 2005, running on a different machine. But the .NET app needs to impersonate as another user to connect to the database.
To successfully do both of these things go to Windows > Run, enter inetmgr and hit run. Navigate to the site and right click > properties, then click on the tab titled Directory Security, click Edit.., make sure only Integrated Windows Authentication and Digest authentication are enabled. Enter your proper AD realm and click OK. Apply the settings/hit OK.In web.config you need the following lines
replacing, of course, myDomainMyUserName and 123mypasswordgoeshere with the username and password that has login rights on both your domain and your sql server. The connection string can probably be modified, but this is mine and it works:
I am being given excel sheet daily and want to upload them to an existing database with the exact same column names, i wanted to do this in sql server 2005, but then i thought it would be easier to just creat an asp.net program that could do this autmatically, that way the managers could do it them selves. would i use a bulk insert?
