RE: Archecker Table Level restore

In Response To: RE: Archecker Table Level restore (Laurie Gustin)

That is good news. I have not played around a lot with restores to external tables, so was a little worried I may not be able to help you.

Hmmm - I found where you can't do a logical restore to external tables - that
must have been causing the error. I didn't want to do a logical restore
because I want to filter the data, so I added WITH NO LOG to my restore
statement. IT is running now, we will see if it works.

Thanks!

Laurie,

Do you have the option (space in dbspace crimelab,or another dbspace) to try
this restore to database table instead of external tables? Might be worth a
shot to see if there is something amiss with the external table restore
functionality. Are you able to or have you in the past restored a table on
this instance using external table method?

Joe

yep - my directories are fine... in fact, it creates the files for the
external tables...

It seems like it just cant create this lock table.. but I dont know where it
is trying to create it ..

Are you able to touch a file in that directory?

The command file is listed below... I actually only want one row out of each
of these tables... but I have to go back beyond the last level 0 backup to get
it, so I didn't know how to do a physical only.

Laurie, what does your command file look like for the restore?

Subject: Archecker Table Level restore [18648]

Im trying to do a point in time table level restore with archecker.. but I get
a disk space error. I have checked to see where I may be out of space, but
can't see anything. Can someone tell me where it is trying to create this lock
table?

Thanks
Laurie
