Datacenter move.. Plan for SQL Servers

We will be moving to a new datacenter and wondering if there was any article
out there to help me get started on the planning required..
ThanksThis should be no difference than planning to move an instance/database to
another server, assuming you are going to a new server in the new datacenter
.

Databse role to Create Stored Procedures

Hi,
With SQL2005, I'd like to create a database role whose members could
Create/Drop stored procedures (even new ones), Select/Insert/Delete/Update
from any table of the Database, but couldn't modifiy the tables' structure.
Could someone suggest me a script?
Thanks for your help.
JN.Hi,
Assign below roles to user to read and write on tables
DB_DATAREADER
DB_DATAWRITER
This will allow the user to create procedure
GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE TO <UserName>
The createor can drop the procedure
Thanks

databse restore

Hello,
I have situation where I will need to restore from.
Monday -- Full backup + Transaction Log ever hour
Tuesday -- Deferential Backup +Transaction Log ever hour
Wednesday --Deferential Backup Transaction Log ever hour at 7 PM database
suspect and I will need to restore from my backup
Do I go and restore Full backup + deferential backup of Tuesday +
deferential Backup of Wednesday + Transaction log that was taken after that
deferential backup on Wednesday ?
Thanks,Hello,
I would recommend to find out first why database became suspect and fix that
problem. To restore use Monday full backup, the last differential backup
(Wednesday) and all the transaction log backups since the last differential
backup.
Hope this helps,

How about restoring FULL backup + LOG backup at 7PM ( I assume you took
backup log file just after a database became corrupted)

Databse replication

Dear All

I've made transactional replication between two SQL 2005 servers.
Everything looks fine, synchronization working fine, no errors, however size of replicated database file = 97 Mb,
on Publications server the database file size = 184 Mb.

What is wrong :S ?

Best Regards
PiotrMB?

You should be using Access|||Sounds like the equivalent of shrinking to me...|||Sounds like the equivalent of shrinking to me...

It's funny you talk about shrinkage, and your name is George|||The data on the replicated server has been defragmented. behind the scenes, the snapshot bcp's out the data from the publisher, and bcp's it in to the subscriber. This removes any whitespace created by deletes and page splits.|||That's a much more elegant way of putting it...
I had the whole "Ya know when you defrag your PC..." conversation knocking about in my head.

Databse Offline

hi everyone
Could someone please help me in following:
One of my database in SQL 2000 going Offline automatically. When i
bring it back Online its Ok for 20/30 minutes and then again appear as
Offline. I had similar problem when one of the database keep going to
'Single user' automatically.
Any idea what happening.
Thank you

It sounds like you have the auto-close option eneabled. You need to
disable it.
Right click on your database in EM, choose properties and then check
the options tab to see if the option is enabled.

Regards

John

Databse Link will not connect

I have a couple new servers - Windows 2003 R2 - with SQL Server 2000
SP4 installed. They are all Active/Active clustered instances (my
first ones).

I am trying to create database links to other SQL Server instances, but
there are 3 that I cannot connect to.

The dblink works if I connect to the instance as "sa", but not as my
Windows Authenticated account. We use Active Directory and I am in the
Administrator group on all of the boxes.

Of the 3 I can't get to, 1 is a cluster (Active/Passive) and the other
2 are just regular Enterprise instances. They are all SQL 2000 SP4.

I have several other instances, all SP4 on 2003 boxes and I can connect
to all of them.

Also, on the instances where the dblink does not work, I can actually
connect to these databases w/in Enterprise Manager successfully.

I am using a different port for the instances, but I have set them up
in the Client Network Utility as well and still can't connect.

I can connect via a dblink TO these new instances from the older boxes
fine.

I'm really stumped - I've had the Network people verify we don't have a
firewall issue or something.

Must be some sort of permissions problem, but I don't know what else to
check - - -

Please help!!

THANK YOU!!Not completely sure what you mean by a dblink, but what SQL permissions
do the Administrators have on each server? Are you sure the
BUILTIN/Administrators Windows group have the appropriate permissions
on the databases you want to select from?

|||Thank you!

By dblink I am referring to a linked server. (I apologize - I come
from an Oracle background).

The BUILTIN/Administrators group has all of the System Roles and it
still did not work.
Other boxes have links into the server/instance which work fine, and
the new server can link to other servers.
It's strange because it's just this one combination that does not work.

Group A: oldest servers; non-clustered; Win 2003 SP1

Group B: medium servers; 1 a/p cluster; 2 non-clustered; Win 2003 SP1

Group C: newest servers; 3 a/a clusters; Win 2003 R2

All SQL Server 2000 SP4

Group A can link to Group B
Group A can link to Group C
Group B can link to Group A
Group B can link to Group C
Group C can link to Group A
Group C CANNOT link to Group A if logged in using Windows
Authentication

All of the links are set up using "sa".
