Is it possible to restore a backup of a SQL Server 2005 database onto an instance of SQL Server 2008? I need to rebuild a server as it's getting rather crufty, so I plan to take this opportunity to upgrade to SQL 2008 and wondered if I'll be able to restore my backups OK. Upgrading from 2005 to 2008 is OK, moving back might require more work N.B. You might have a problem with your database the logins (as they will not exist in the new server master db) but that's something which would happen regardless of the server version. Just re-create them and re-associate with your database. Yes, but

I've got a backup made using the regular SQL Server 2005 backup command. Is there a way to restore just a single table, not the whole DB? Restore the whole database to another machine (or temporary database), then copy the table seems like the easiest to me. This is not natively supported in SSMS but it’s possible using third party tools. Apart from Red Gate (great tools btw) you can try SQL Diff (restore object) and SQL Data Diff (restore data) from ApexSQL. Disclaimer: I’m not affiliated with ApexSQL but we are their customers and use their tools The unit of backup and recovery in SQL Server

I have Anaconda for Python 2, It came packed with a lot of useful packages. During my work, I have added several packages to it using conda install command. Now I have to format my system, and I want to backup/pack all the added libraries, either as full packages or even by knowing the installation command of each one. I searched StackOverflow , I found one unanswered question with a similar problem, the question suggested conda list -e >file_list.txt to create a file contains all the installed packages, but this is not sufficient for me, I want Anaconda to determine which package is added by

In "Back UP" I only get a bak file, but I would like to create .sql file Use SQL Server's Generate Scripts commend right click on the database; Tasks -> Generate Scripts select your tables, click Next click the Advanced button find Types of data to script - choose Schema and Data . you can then choose to save to file, or put in new query window. results in CREATE and INSERT statements for all table data selected in bullet 2. Simon This is a possible duplicate of: SQL script to get table content as "SELECT * FROM tblname" To do a full database backup to File/Query you can use the 'Generate

I have read noumerous threads and watched many videos on combining Dropbox and Git functionality. One such thread is this: Using Git and Dropbox together effectively? Here is what i want to do: I am currently working on a large personal project (only me, no need for encryption). Work is done on two desktop computers (Win 7, Ubuntu) and one laptop (OSx). I wish to have my files accesible from anywhere and under version control (git) It would be great to have web-access to all the files (trough Dropbox.com), so there would be no need to install Git if I were to eg. borrow a computer. Most of the

I need to backup the MySQL database on my current system. I am using the mysqldump command in a cron job using a shell script. Here is roughly what I do: #!/bin/bash fileName=$(date +%H-%M) mysqldump -ubackup -hserver1.local.com -A database1 > /backup/$filename.sql This take about 1 hour to complete so my question is this: I need to compress the data so i would like to know if I should first back up the file as pure sql then compress it or should I compress it right away from the mysqldump command? To reduce intermediate disk space usage, you can compress on-the-fly: mysqldump (options) |
