Here is another blog based on client’s interaction via Skype. They informed me that they are trying to execute the command ALTER DATABASE SET PARTNER while attempting to set up mirroring between two servers, we see the following mirroring error recorded in the secondary error log:
SQL SERVER – FIX : Msg 3178, Level 16 – File SQLAuthority is Not in the Correct State to have This Differential Backup Applied to it
Few days back I wrote a blog about error messages during differential backup restore. SQL SERVER – Msg 3136, Level 16 – This Differential Backup Cannot be Restored Because the Database has not Been Restored to the Correct Earlier State
SQL SERVER – FIX : Msg 8115, Level 16, Arithmetic Overflow Error Converting IDENTITY to Data Type INT
One of my friends who is a SharePoint expert told that he is getting overflow error while doing check-in on the document. He was confident that the error is related to SQL and that’s why he contacted me. I used profiler and found the table which had the problem and fixed that as well. This blog is an outcome of that work done. Let us see the error related to Arithmetic Overflow Error.
SQL SERVER – FIX: Msg 3132, Level 16 – The Media Set has 2 Media Families but Only 1 are Provided. All Members Must be Provided
This blog is a response to a comment on our blog. Have you ever encountered below error related to media set?
Msg 3132, Level 16, State 1, Line 15
The media set has 2 media families but only 1 are provided. All members must be provided.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 15
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
SQL SERVER – Service Pack Error – Index (Zero Based) Must be Greater Than or Equal to Zero and Less Than the Size of the Argument List
Recently I came across an issue where I was not able to fix directly. My client reported below error in Skype, which is related to a service pack.
SQL SERVER – FIX: The SQL Server Failed to Initialize VIA Support Library [QLVipl.dll]
My every interaction with client teaches me something new. Recently someone contacted me through email and informed that they have issues with SQL Server Startup. When we checked ERRORLOG, we found below messages at the end of the ERRORLOG where Via Support library was mentioned.
SQL SERVER – Msg 3035, Level 16 – Cannot Perform a Differential Backup for Database “SQLAuthority”, Because a Current Database Backup Does not Exist
If we look at the error in the subject line, it is very clear that a full backup is needed so that the differential backup chain can be initiated. If this happens to a newly created database, then it makes sense and there is no need for me to write a blog. There was an interesting finding about the cause of this error, other than obvious one, so sharing it. Let us see another error related to differential backup.
