Problem with Restore of Transaction Log

  • Hi,

    I'm writing a c# utility to syncronize 2 SSEE (only one direction is allowed) based on transanction log backup.

    My problem is that I can't restore the backup of transaction log; I've noted that in Management Studio the menu Task->Restore->Trasaction log... is disable, is because the Express Edition dosen't allow to restor such kind of backup? My only option is to backup/restore full database every time?

    Thanks

  • The reason that the option to restore a transaction log is grayed out, is that the database is not in condition to accept a transaction log restore.  The database has to be in prior to recovery state before the transaction log can be applied.  That is, following a database load with the norecovery option on, you'll have the option to load a transaction log.

  • during last full backup restore...go to genetal tab ....choose the 3rd option ie. leave the database in read only...then click OK....

    after that restore the transaction Log with their sequence.
