Jul 20, 2005I'm working on an ASP.Net project where I want to test code on a localmachine using a local database as a back-end, and then export it tothe production machine where it uses the hosting provider's SQL Serverdatabase on the back-end. Is there a way to export tables from oneSQL Server database to another in such a way that if a table alreadyexists in the destination database, it will be updated to reflect thechanges to the local table, without existing data in the destinationtable being lost? e.g. suppose I change some tables in my localdatabase by adding new fields. Can I "export" these changes to thedestination database so that the new fields will be added to thedestination tables (and filled in with default values), without losingdata in the destination tables?If I run the DTS Import/Export Wizard that comes with SQL Server andchoose "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the source database" and choosethe tables I want to copy, there is apparently no option *not* to copythe data, and since I don't want to copy the data, that choice doesn'twork. If instead of "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the sourcedatabase", I choose "Copy objects and data between SQL Serverdatabases", then on the following options I can uncheck the "CopyData" box to prevent data being copied. But for the "CreateDestination Objects" choices, I have to uncheck "Drop destinationobjects first" since I don't want to lose the existing data. But whenI uncheck that and try to do the copy, I get collisions between theproperties of the local table and the existing destination table,e.g.:"Table 'wbuser' already has a primary key defined on it."Is there no way to do what I want using the DTS Import/Export Wizard?Can it be done some other way?-Bennett

View 6 Replies View RelatedAdding Article To The Existing Replication
Feb 11, 2005Hi All,
I am having a server where replication is set up between 2 differnt databases. It is currently running. I want to add a couple of tables to the replication. I tried using sp_addArticle, but after executing it, in the properties of the publication it shows the new tables, but at the database level the tables are missing.
I tried with sp_addsubscription but I am getting strange error:
Server: Msg 14100, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addsubscription, Line 240
Specify all articles when subscribing to a publication using concurrent snapshot processing.
What can I do to publish the tables into the target database?
Thanks in advance.
Replication - Can Subscriber Objects Be Pre-existing?
Aug 15, 2006My manager does not want to go through the process of moving 40 GB of data to the subscriber database over the network as would occur during the initialization phase of replication (exact method of replication has yet to be determined). The subscriber db is for Web Access and will be read-only. He wants to back up a db and use tapes to restore the db on the subscriber db server, and then activate replication. I have told him that you have to allow SQL Server to create the objects on the subscriber side and you have to allow SQL Server to control the data flow, that manually creating the objects on the subscriber side will not work. He says that I am incorrect.
Who is right? I haven't been able to find an answer from the Microsoft site and news groups.
Thanks,
Transactional Replication & DDL Change To Existing
Sep 24, 2007I am trying to make a DDL change to an existing column for a transactionally replicated table. I am attempting to effect the ALTER on the Publisher. Below is the statement I am using:
[Begin Code Snippet]
ALTER TABLE Products ALTER COLUMN LegacyProductID varchar(20)NULL
[Begin Code Snippet]
This is the error message:
Msg 4928, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Cannot alter column 'LegacyProductID' because it is 'REPLICATED'.
Column properties currently are:
INT
NULL
Not For Replication - False
Primary Key - False
I read this article http://www.replicationanswers.com/AlterSchema2005.asp but still cannot either get the statement to work or identify a reason it isn't working.

Merge Replication Between Two Existing Databases?
Apr 18, 2006Hi gang,
We have a couple of databases on separate servers that have exactly the same schema, and we would like to set up merge replication between them.
Is that possible? The few times we've experimented on test databases, the subscriber database has been trashed and rebuilt using data from the publisher, rather than preserving data from both databases.
I'm really new to replication in general, so any kind of advice would be helpful.
Cheers,
Matt
Need For Distributor Server In Existing Replication Setup
Dec 4, 2004We have a setup with one Publisher Server and 15 Subscribers with merge replication configured for all subscribers. The current Database size is approximately 3 GB expected to grow to 10 GB in next 1 year. We wanted to know what benefits would we incur if we add an additional seperate distributor server (hardware box). Also, what is the approx. size of a database where a seperate distributor server (hardware box) is recommended.
Thanks in advance

Replication :: Add A Not Null Column To Existing Table
Aug 27, 2015We have a requirement to add a not null column to an existing table.
I created the column with null and updated with single quotes, and then converted the column into not null.
Now, I can see in the publisher, it went fine. but in the subscribers, i'm getting the error as, can not insert null value. I then tried to make column as null to resolve the issue, but still it is holding the same error and not proceeding further.
Now I even dropped the column. still same issue. how can I resolve this issue? I'm using sql server 2008 R2 with SP3. replication type is Merge replication.
Replication: Remove Merge Subscription Without Existing Publisher?
Feb 26, 2004Hi all,
I'm a rather newbie, not only to this forum but also to sql server having a question to the following issue:
Is it possible to drop/remove/delete the "orphan" of a merge subscription on one instance of sql server without having the (former) distributor/publisher (on other instance) available?
The background is: I had a small replication infrastructure with two instances (on two machines), one the publisher and distributor, the other the subscriber. Now it happened that the publisher/distributor machine was completely set up new without having the replication dropped in advance, what remained on the subscriber is now a database with all the merge/replication tables and the guid columns in the user tables.
Moreover this, an entry remained in the subscription saying that a subscription with the former publisher exists...
Can I remove these "orphans" without having to setup the instance again?
Thank you,
Andy

SQL 2012 :: Adding Articles To Existing Publication In Transactional Replication
Sep 26, 2014I have an existing publication in sql 2012 with 2 articles, and then I add 2 more articles. After that when I generate a snapshot, will the snapshot be generated for 2 new articles only or for all 4 articles?
I remember adding 1 new articles to one existing publication with 150 articles and when I generated snapshot, it was generated only for 1 article. But I don't remember clearly.
Does it behave differently for small and large number of articles?

Normalising Existing Tables
Feb 25, 2008I've been handed a very old database to knock into shape for an ASP.NET energy monitoring website. The current tables seem to have been created as cross tabs from the meter raw data, and are in the form-
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PW_Table] ( [Date] [int] NULL , [Meter_1] [float] NULL , [Meter_2] [float] NULL , [Meter_3] [float] NULL , [Meter_4] [float] NULL , [Meter_5] [float] NULL , [Meter_6] [float] NULL , [Meter_7] [float] NULL) ON [PRIMARY]
I'd like to rearrange them into the format-
ReadingID (Identity), ReadingDate (datetime), ReadingValue (float), MeterID (int)
I would set up a lookup table for the Meters and join on MeterID.
Converting the date value from an int into a DateTime is no problem, but I can't work out how to transpose the meter readings. Can anyone point me towards a way of doing this via SQL, or would it need to be done by hand?
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Need Option To Override Control Position Changes - Tables Force Other Controls To End Of Rows
Apr 14, 2007I am creating printed questionnaires based on data in a table. Portions of the layout must be exact and not be moved on the page.
I have some textboxes and rectangles on the left of a report and a table on the right. The table forces all the controls on the left to appear AFTER the last row and I can find no workaround. Basically, no controls can appear to the left of a table. The texboxes on the left give instructions to the user on how to fill out the items in the table on the right and I need them to remain where I place them. I have many other reports that require fixed positions.
Other report writers have texbox and label options to work around this . For example Visual Foxpro has an "Object Position" property with options for "Float", "Fix position relative to top of band", "Fix position relative to bottom of band". This allows the position to be forced if necessary.
This is very much needed and wanted in the Report Writer and I request it for the next release or service pack.
Create New Table From Several Existing Tables?
Apr 8, 2012I have three tables :
England_Summer_2001
England_Summer_2002
England_Summer_2003
The tables have the following columns :
Player, Position, [From], [To], Fee, Type, ID, League, Window
I want to create a new table, EnglandFinal with all the data from the three tables although I'm guessing it would not be a good idea to copy the primary keys (ID column) as they would clash.
I have played around with CREATE and INSERT into and UNION but I get various errors. I'm sure I've done this before!
This creates a table from a single table :
select * into Final
from England_Summer_2001
Table Partitions On Existing Tables.
Jun 4, 2007Hi guys , assuming right now I already create partition function (PF_Date) and partition scheme (PS_Date). Let say I would like to implement the partition on the existing tables ( eg: transaction table which is in PRIMARY filegroup), how am I switch it from PRIMARY to PS_Date ? Is it I have to re-create the particular table then only able to put in the partition scheme? Hope can get any assistance here. Thanks alot.

View 3 Replies View RelatedDiscover Relationships Between Existing Tables Of A Database
Mar 23, 2007Hello Friends,
I am right now working on a project that has a database with over 100 tables in a database. Because of extreme time constraints the developers didn't build in any relationships or constraints between or in the tables. Now I need to remodel the database such that the database is more structured and normalized. I don't have much knowledge about the database design since it is a 2 year old application and the person who developed the database is now gone. I know remodelling the database would require knowledge of the existing database and business rules.
I was wondering if there are any tools that could suggest or discover relationships between tables. For eg. Lets say there are two tables named 'Customer' and 'Order'. I notice that there is a column named 'id' in Customer and a column named 'customer_id' in Order. So I ask the tool to discover a relationship between id and customer_id and it tells me that there is a one-one or one-many or no relationship by comparing values. I heard ERWin would be able to do that but thats expensive. Please do let me know asap.
Transact SQL :: Creating PK On All Existing Tables Where It Does Not Exists?
May 6, 2015I have been asked to create PK on many tables using a query on all tables where we do not have clustered indexes. Some of the tables contains PK but non-clustered. If in a table there are no PK, then how to decide on which column PK can be created? can we do it with the query without data loss and without human intervention?
View 5 Replies View RelatedNeed Help In Copying A Temp Tables Contents To A Existing Table
Nov 8, 2006I have a real table with an identity column and a trigger to populate this column.
I need to import / massage data for data loads from a different format, so I have a temp table defined that contains only the columns that are represented in the data file so I can bulk insert.
I then alter this table to add all the other columns so that it reflects all the columns in the real table. I then populate all the values so that this contains the data I need.
I then want to insert into the real table pushing the data from the temp table, however this gives me errors stating that the query returned multiple rows.
I specified all the columns in the insert grouping as well as on the select from the temp table.
ANY thoughts / comments are appreciated. This is beginning to drive me nuts.

View 7 Replies View RelatedSQL Server 2008 :: Retrofitting Partitioning To Existing (large) Tables
Feb 9, 2015We have an existing BI/DW process that adds large chunks of data daily (~10M rows) to an existing table, as well as using Deletes to remove stale data. This scenario seems to beg for partitioning to support switching in/out data.
After lots of reading on this, I have figured out the mechanics of the switching, bit I still have some unknowns about the indexes needed to support this.
The table currently has several non-clustered indexes, including one on the partitioning column - let's call that column snapshotdate. Fortunately there are no FKs involved, and no constraints.
Most of the partitioning material I see focuses on creating a clustered PK to assist with switching. Not sure if this is actually necessary, but assume I create one using an Identity column (currently missing) plus snapshotdate.
For the other non-clustered, non-unique indexes, can I just add the snapshotdate to the end of the index? i.e. will that satisfy the switching requirement?
DB Design :: How To Copy Data From Existing Table To Normalized Tables

Nov 14, 2007I went to look at the connection string previously entered for a dataset created in a new report, and am not seeing anything intuitive for bringing up the associated datasource dialog box that was used to enter name, type and connection string. I'm also noticing nothing intuitive for deleting an existing dataset. How do you do these two very simple things in an existing project? I dont see the dataset in solution explorer, I see it only in the text box on the data tab and in a limited kind of way on the dataset view where the columns show and maint is allowed mostly on the columns only. I tried hilighting the dataset here and hitting the delete key to no avail.

Feb 10, 2015So I started a new job recently and have noticed a few strange configurations. Typically I would never mess with min memory per query option and index create memory option configuration because i just haven't seen any need to. My typical thought is that if it isn't broke... They have been modified on every single server in my environment.
From Books Online:
• This option is an advanced option and should be changed only by an experienced database administrator or certified SQL Server technician.
• The index create memory option is self-configuring and usually works without requiring adjustment. However, if you experience difficulties creating indexes, consider increasing the value of this option from its run value.
