Dedicated Administrator Connection [DAC] in SQL Server


Introduction

DAC [Dedicated Administrator Connection ] is feature added from SQL Server 2005 version . Database administrator use this fetaure to connect to a SQL Server instance When the database engine not responding to the regular connection so the database administrator use this fetaure to connect to the instance to solve the problem Instead of rebooting  the SQL Server.

By Defult this feature is disable in All SQL Server version From 2005 to the New version 2012.

Note :  your SQL Server browser must be Runing

enable the DAC using below T-SQL command

Use master

GO

sp_configure ‘show advanced options’ , 1

GO

sp_configure ‘remote admin connections’, 1

G O RECONFIGURE

GO

enable the DAC using SSMS

1- write click on your SQL Server Probirties >> Factes >>  Service Area Configuration >> RemoteDacEnabled

Change it from False To True

Now try to connect by write ADMN: before your instance name like this

ADMIN:Mostafa-PC\SQLSERVER2008

then your User name and your password or connect windows Authentication but if you try to connect by the default way SQL Server will give you this Error

Dedicated administrator connections are not supported. (ObjectExplorer)

 

So if you want to connect with this Feature you must make this steps

Go to File >>> New >>> Database Engine Query >>>> Admin:InstanceName

 then your Session will open

Note : You can not open 2 Session

TRY…CATCH and ERROR Handling


CREATE TABLE TPA
(ID  INT , [NAME]  NVARCHAR(50))
GO
INSERT TPA VALUES (1,’MOSTAFA’)
INSERT TPA VALUES (2,’ELMASRY’)

BEGIN TRY
— Generate a divide-by-zero error.
SELECT ID+[NAME] FROM TPA
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
SELECT * FROM TPA
END CATCH;
GO

BEGIN TRY
— Generate a divide-by-zero error.
SELECT ID+[NAME] FROM TPA
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
SELECT
ERROR_NUMBER() AS ErrorNumber,
ERROR_SEVERITY() AS ErrorSeverity,
ERROR_STATE() AS ErrorState,
ERROR_PROCEDURE() AS ErrorProcedure,
ERROR_LINE() AS ErrorLine,
ERROR_MESSAGE() AS ErrorMessage;
END CATCH;
GO

Repairing Suspect SQL Database


Before you run this script

  • Kill all connections and stop SQL Server
  • Perform a Checkdisk with repair option
  • Perform a Defragmentation
  • Now copy the files necessary (MDF, LDF and Backups)
  • Perform a backup
  • Restore the backup
  • Repair the Database (DBCC CHECKDB)
  • Backup the repaired DB

USE [master]
GO
ALTER DATABASE <dbname> SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
GO
ALTER DATABASE <dbname> SET SINGLE_USER
GO
DBCC CHECKDB <dbname>, REPAIR_REBUILD) WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS, NO_INFOMSGS
GO
ALTER DATABASE <dbname> SET MULTI_USER
GO

Or

Take Care From this Script becouse it will make repaire and may be some Data will loss

EXEC sp_resetstatus ‘yourDBname’;
ALTER DATABASE yourDBname SET EMERGENCY
DBCC checkdb(‘yourDBname’)
ALTER DATABASE yourDBname SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
DBCC CheckDB (‘yourDBname’, REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS)
ALTER DATABASE yourDBname SET MULTI_USER

How to remove Instance or Feature from SQL Server


I do this steps in my SQL Server 2012 and you can make this steps in Any version like 2005 – 2008 – 2008 R2 Also To remove or Add or repaire SQL Server :

1- Go to Programe and Feature

2- Select your SQL Server name

3- Write click on the name and select Uninstall

4- If you want to add New instance or to add New feature to exsiting instance select Add , Also if you want to repair your instance select the Second Choice Repair

5- in this example we will select Remove

5- After this step we will select the instance you want to remove it or you want to remove some feature from this instance

6- After this step clic Next to determine if you want to remove the instance of the whole or to remove Feature from this insance if you want to remove the instance sellect all thisng in the Screen , Else select the feature you want to be remove it .

7- After you determine  waht you Need . make Next to make SQL Sever Check your role may be if you reomve this instance SQL Server will give you Error or Warning so this step is very imporatnt

8- Then Click Next to tell SQL Sever you are Arealdy to remove your Selected

9- after this step if you click Next SQL Server will reove your Selected so i think you must be Retreat yourself becouse the Next step is final {There is no room to return} if you want Click next if you Retreated  yourself  click cansel.

sorry i cant complete with you the final Step becouse i Retreated  my self and i discovered i love Microsoft and i cant reove any tool from microsoft so Complete this step Alone

Good Luck
