I've a program with VB6 working with SQLServer 2000.
I have a Central Station with the program runnin with full prvileges and
that can perform all the actions on the DB.
There are also some clients that cannot be connected via LAN or internet
that need to use the same DB.
The way I solved this with Aces was to copy the Access file from the Central
Station ot the disconnected clients.
Then to update the central Staton I used to save the recordset of new data
entered from there onto files and then copy them into the Central Station.
Now I'm upgrading the program to run with SQLServer.
I can do everything but the Backup and restore of the DB.
Actually I perform the DB Backup to file with the command line
BACKUP DATABASE myDB TO DISK = 'TempFileName.bak'
This way I can save the file on a USB key or send it via email
Then I restore it on the disconnected clients using the command line
RESTORE DATABASE myDB FROM DISK ='TempFileName.bak' WITH REPLACE
Everything looks fine and seems to work, but on my testing machine I'm
having this strange behavior:
I create new datas into the DataBase, then I execute the backup and quit the
application.
I open EM and delete the just entered datas
I open the application simulating the disconnected clinet (just a string
option, the program is the same)
I execute the RESTORE
I expect hte cancelled datas to be back online, but....... the cancelled
datas is not restored.
I then open EM and execute a backup from the file I created with Backup and
...... the data goes in.
Why?
Is the problem raised only becouse the SQLServer is the same in both cases?
What I need is just to copy one DB and inserting it into a different Server.
Any idea why this is appening?
Any idea on how to do this operation?
I tryed already the RECOVERY, NORECOVERY and quite everything, but .......
Thanks in advance for your help
