Cause
Before making changes to the system database it is important that a backup of the database be made. The following queries will save a backup to the root of the C: drive which can then be used for recovery in the event the intended changes have an undesired outcome.
Resolution
Solution:
Add this prefix to the start of any SQL query provided to a customer:
DECLARE @name VARCHAR(50) — database name
DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) — path for backup files
DECLARE @fileName VARCHAR(256) — filename for backup
DECLARE @fileDate VARCHAR(20) — used for file name
SET @path = ‘C:\’
SELECT @fileDate = CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),GETDATE(),112)
DECLARE db_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT name
FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases
WHERE name NOT IN (‘master’,’model’,’msdb’,’tempdb’)
OPEN db_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @name
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET @fileName = @path + @name + ‘_’ + @fileDate + ‘.BAK’
BACKUP DATABASE @name TO DISK = @fileName
FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @name
END
CLOSE db_cursor
DEALLOCATE db_cursor
