In SQL Server 2005, a snapshot of a database can be created that allows read-only access to a database, even when the database is in "recovery pending" mode. One use case for this capability is in creating a reporting database that references a copy of a production database, which is kept current through log-shipping. In this scen...
We would like to be able to nightly make a copy/backup/snapshot of a production database so that we can import it in the dev environment. We don't want to log ship to the dev environment because it needs to be something we can reset whenever we like to the last taken copy of the production database. We need to be able to clear certain...
We started some overseas merge replication 1 year ago and everything is going fine till now. My problem is that we have now so much data in our system that any crash on one of the subscriber's servers will be a disaster: reinitialising a subscription the standard way will take days (our connexions are definitely slow, but already very ve...
Whether this is possible I don't know, but it would mighty useful! I have a process that fails periodically (running in Windows 2000). I then have just one chance to react to it before having to restart it and painfully wait for it to fail again. I didn't write the process so don't have the source to debug. The failure is seemingly rand...
I have an ASP.Net application which as desired feature, users would like to be able to take a "snapshot". While I know this can be simulated, it would be really great to have a way to take a URL (or the current rendered page), and turn it into an image which can be stored on the server. Is this crazy? Is there a way to do it? If so, ...
i would like to release a snapshot project 'foo-1.0-SNAPSHOT' using the maven release plugin. The project depends on a 3rd party module 'bar-1.0-SNAPSHOT' which is not released yet. I use the option 'allowTimestampedSnapshots' in my project's pom.xml to allow timestamped snapshots but i assume that the 3rd party module (bar) is not times...
Using asp.net, I need to generate a snapshot of an youtube video. I have access to the code that youtube generates for integrating their vids into other sites. Basically what I want to do is what HTML Snapshot does, take a picture of some html, but I`m only interested in the video. How can I approach this in asp.net, (buying HTML Snaps...

Hello, I want to take a snapshot of a view (WebView) or, if that is not possible, the whole screen, so I can save it into the user's photo gallery. I was wondering if this is possible. Thank you very much, Isaac Waller http://www.isaacwaller.com/ ...
We have 2 databases, say DB1 and DB2. DB1 contains all the stored procedures which access also data in DB2. DB1 uses synonyms to access the tables in DB2. (Using synonyms is a requirement in our situation) This works perfectly fine in all situations with SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. However in the Express Edition, we get an excep...

Background: I am using Hyper-V on Server 2008 to manage many virtual servers. I have scripts that have been built to make changes or apply updates to some or all of these virtual servers.

Dear lazyweb, I'm trying to mount a disk image created with the Fedora LiveUSB creator under Ubuntu programmatically, and I'm encountering some issues. From what I've been told, it's very difficult to mount LVM snapshots outside of the host system. I have both the "pristine" image and the persistent snapshot, so I thought that it shou...

I'm currently learning Python and have taken up several small projects to help learn the language. Are there currently any libraries (possibly PythonMagick) out there that are capable of extracting snapshots from .wmv, .avi, .mpg, or other movie formats with only command-line options (no GUI)? And if so, can anyone provide links to exa...

Hello today I am playing a bit with the Xcode snapshot feature and I wonder if I could recreate a complete project from a snapshot if all code is lost. It seems to me in the Snapshot-Manager I can only see snapshots of the current project, not of all projects. So if my projectfile is lost or damaged is there anyway to recover my files ...
