Adding Size Of Identified Tables On All Databases On A Servers??
Jun 13, 2000
I have used the following script to add the size of chosen tables in all the databases on a given server. What I need to do is to create a GRAND total. Can someone give me a hint?
exec sp_msforeachdb
@Command1 = "print'?'",
@Command2 = "use ?
SELECT CAST (o.name as char(20)) as 'Table', SUM(c.length) 'Record size',
MAX (i.rows) '#of rows',
CONVERT (decimal (10, 4), SUM (c.length * i.rows)/(1024.00 * 1024.00)) 'Approx. size (MB)'
FROM sysobjects o, syscolumns c, sysindexes i
WHERE o.id = c.id
AND o.id = i.id
AND (i.indid = 1 or i.indid = 0)
AND o.type = 'U'
And o.name in ('Table1','Table2','Table3')
GROUP BY o.name
COMPUTE SUM (CONVERT (decimal (10,4), SUM (c.length * i.rows)/(1024.00 * 1024.00)))"
Dear Readers,Is it possible, like in Access, to link to tables in other SQL databases that are on the same server? I have a query that I originally had in Access that queered from multiply databases. It did this by having those other tables in the other databases linked to the database that had the query.
Hi, If you have 2 databases with the exact same table columns, and in the first database in a table column the indentidy seed starts at 1 and finishes at 32,000 can you attatch a second database so that the indentity starts at 32,001and carries on. What happens if you create a site and run out of disk space and need to attach another database which is located on another server??? I am really confused about this.Hope someone can give some links to some articles about this as I can't find any information about it.How can this be done? Thanks
Hello,This is my first post, and i am looking for help about Databases in remote servers.This is my problem:1) I have a free account in "HostBasket", with 50 mb of space, and 10 mb of SQL Server... with ASP.NET 2 support --> http://www.hostbasket.com/dotnet2.shtml?LinkFrom=100602) They gave me this info for the database:Your SQL Server: sql15.hostbasket.comYour database name: myDatabaseNameYour login for the database: myLoginYour password for the database: myPasswordConnection string for ASP.NET (using ADO.NET with System.Data.SqlClient namespace):Persist Security Info=True;User ID=myLogin;Password=myPassword;Initial Catalog=MyDatabaseName;Data Source=sql15.hostbasket.com 3) Actually, i don't know what to do with that info... I mean, i have read so much info, and all people saying "their way" to do things... oh, I am so confused...4) I read in a website, this: "the database can be uploaded as a FILE saved in the App_Data folder, under the .mdf extension"I read that from : http://dotnetjunkies.com/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/data/vwd.aspx5) In the url given above, there is a "step by step" example... i follow it, exactly (i start a asp.net website, i create the database and the table, i show the data with the grids, etc )6) All is OK until here, i mean, when i run the website with VWD, it shows me the info OK.7) But... ¿How can i do this works on the Remote Server i described in 1) and 2) ?I know how to upload my website, in fact i uploaded a very basic one, and all was OK, but when i work with databases starts my problem...So, i am almost sure, that i have an error in the "Conecction String"... connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MiBaseDeDatos.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" ¿How should it be, to work with my free remote server?or,if you have done the "easy way" of uploading the .MDF file in the server (but a server different of mine) please, tell me the "how to..." (and the server you used :p )--------------------Ok guys, i am a Chilean young (i dont speak english very well) and i tried to write my ideas in an easy way, so I REALLY HOPE you can help me.I am a New (very new) on this (vwd , .net , asp.net ) in fact, i am using this just 3 days ago...THANK YOU SO MUCH,Carlos,La Serena, Chile.
I need some advice on copying databases, stored procedures, views, logins ..etc from a SQL Serevr 7.0 server, to a new SQL Server 2000 server. Is it better to backup the databases on one server and then restore them to the other. Or id it easier to use the Wizards to Import everything from new server, or to Export everything from the old server ?
Any advice would be appreciated. I need to ensure that I do not miss anything, in particular Stored Procedures in the old master database.
I'm fairly new to a DBA role, I've been tasked with documenting all the SQL servers/databases. Is there anywhere on the Web where I could find a standard list of what needs to be documented. Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Hello,I wish to see if the tables from database A server A1 exist in databaseA on server B1.I setup a linked server from my first server (robertcamarda) to atarget (cognos-dev)This works from robertcamarda:select count(*) from [cognos-dev].ds_v6_source.dbo.stdmasand this works:select * from ds_v6_source.information_schema.tables order bytable_namebut this wont work:select * from [cognos-dev].ds_v6_source.information_schema.tables orderby table_nameError:Msg 117, Level 15, State 1, Line 1The object name 'cognos-dev.ds_v6_source.dbo.information_schema.tables'contains more than the maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 3.I want to do something like:select * from ds_v6_source.information_schema.tableswhere table_name not in (select table_name from[cognos-dev].ds_v6_source.information_schema.tables order bytable_name)so I can see of the sql server (robertcamarda) has any missing tablesthat exist on the server (cognos-dev)TIARobSQL Server 2005 Enterprise
We have adedicated MS-SQL Server for our CRM database and we have another MS-SQL database server for in house applications, written in c#.Net 2.0. To avoid duplicating information already in our CRM database, it would be nice if we could build a query that combined columns from both data sources.Example
Code Snippet
CRM database on Server1 Table Accounts
Columns AccountID UniqueIdentifier Primary Key
Name NvarChar(50)
Application Database on Server2 Table Transaction
Columns
TransactionID UniqueIdentifier Primary Key
AccountID UniqueIdentifier Amount Money
Would it be possible to create a T-SQL statement that will select
From Server1.CRM.Accounts INNER JOIN Server2.Application.Transaction
ON (Server1.CRM.Accounts.AccountID = Server2.CRM.Transaction.AccountID)
I appreciate there will need to be 2 connections and therefore some credential information would need to be passed too.
Is anything like this possible? I do not wish to copy the Name field from Server1.CRM.Accounts to Server2..Application.Transaction as this is duplication and any change to the value of Server1.CRM.Accounts.Name would not be reflected in the results.

I was wondering if the following is possible: I have 2 SQL Express servers on different machines. One holds the production and one the development database. On a request basis I'd like mirror all the data of the production database to the development database. Right now I have to stop the sql engine, zip the mdf, send it over, attach it to database, etc. and that's quite cumbersome. So, is there an easier way to do this? If not with SQL Express, is it possible with the full version?
We have several sp's created to support a 3rd pary app that uses crystal inside the app with an odbc connection. We got sql row errors on any Citrix server where Use ANSI quoted identifiers was not checked. If we had them checked it works. Does this mean the sp's were created with the identifiers on and this is causing the issue?
Hello everyone,SQL Server 2000. I have a database in which there are several objectswhich have ansi nuls and quoted identifier turned ON. Is there a way Ican generate a script which:(1) Can identify all objects within the database that have those twoproperties turned ON and(2) Change the properties for these objects and turn the ansi nulls andquoted identifier OFF for those objects.I am trying to avoid going throuh gazillions of objects and manuallydoing this.Thanks for any help.Raziq.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
I have tow server on the same intranet. One server has a sql server 2000 database and the other one has SQL server 2005 databse. The sql 2000 database has a table called employee. When ever a new employee is inserted in the database i would like the same values to be sent to the sql 2005 database. But this cant be done on the application level. It has to be done in the database. The application level can not be changed. I was thinking a trigger but how to achieve the writing from one database to another. If they were on the same server then it would be easier but because they are on different servers i dont know how to do it. Has anyone had similar issue before? Any help is apreciated.
I'm working with the SQL Report Viewer in VS2k5. In the Data tab, where the Dataset drop down list is, I click the "..." to edit the dataset. I am currently using the following for the datasource... Data Source=ServerName;Initial Catalog=DatabaseName In one database, I store an employee ID number. I need to access a different database on a different server to reference the employee ID and pull the employee's name. Is there a way to specify two different databases on two different servers in the connection string above? Thanks!
Hello, I need a tool for management ms sql: compare list of databases on 2 servers (not structure and/or data of 2 databases), copy from one server to second new databases, delete from the second server ... Not to propose Copy Wizard. Thanks
I know the SQL syntax to join two tables in different databases on the ame server, but does anyone know if a SQL statement will allow you to join tables from different databases on different servers?
I need to run an Insert query which pulls data from a table located on server A database AA Table AAA conditional on (or JOINED with) Table BBB in database BB sever B. In SQL 2000 I would simply do the following:
From Server A:
sp_addlinkedserver B
INSERT dbo.ResultsTable
SELECT SourceTable.* FROM B.BB.dbo.BBB SourceTable
INNER JOIN A.AA.dbo.AAA ConditionTable ON SourceTable.RecID = ConditionTable.RecID
sp_dropserver B
What do I need to do to perform the same operation in SSIS world?
I'm working with two sql servers instances, ServerA and ServerB, which run under two different service accounts on different machines. They both have a database, DatabaseA, that has some encrypted fields.
If I take a backup of DatabaseA on ServerA and restore it on ServerB, I need to re-encrypt the Database Master Key (DMK) with the Service Master Key (SMK) as follows:
OPEN MASTER KEY DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'pwd used to encrypt DMK' ALTER MASTER KEY ADD ENCRYPTION BY SERVICE MASTER KEY
However, if I again take a backup on ServerB and then restore it on ServerA, I can use the DMK on ServerA without re-encrypting it with the SMK.
Shouldn't I have to re-encrypt the DMK with the SMK everytime I restore from a backup that was generated from a different server?
I have run into problems trying to use backed-up encrypted databases. I have an ASP.Net/SqlServer 2005 website for which I have production, test, and development environments, each on its own box. I have set up encryption using Master Keys, Certificates, and Symmetric Keys using the following commands:
CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'password'
CREATE CERTIFICATE CERTIFICATE_NAME WITH SUBJECT = 'My Website'
CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY KEY_NAME WITH ALGORITHM = TRIPLE_DES ENCRYPTION BY CERTIFICATE CERTIFICATE_NAME.
All databases have the same certificate and symmetric key names. The Production database has a different password than the development and test databases.
I am running into problems when I back up the development database and try to move it to the test environment. When I do the move, and then try to access the encrypted data, I get an error "An error occurred during decryption", even though they are the "same" database (I originally detached and copied the development database to the test box when I set up the test environment) with the same password.
I then try the following commands, which I used when I brought the development database over to the test box the first time:
OPEN MASTER KEY DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'password'
ALTER MASTER KEY REGENERATE WITH ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'password'
This caused the following error: "An error occurred while decrypting certificate 'CERTIFICATE_NAME' that was encrypted by the old master key. The FORCE option can be used to ignore this error and continue the operation, but data that cannot be decrypted by the old master key will become unavailable."
So, how do you set up encrypted databases so that you can backup from one database server and restore on another? This problem will be very important when I set up a backup production database server.
i am having 2 sql servers one is web sql server server and other server is my local sql server. i am making web application through which i want to connect both sql servers at a time and by selecting data from web server i want to insert it into my local sql server both having same database on which i want to work , i want to know how it can be done my idea as follows in web.config i specify 2 connection string and by selecting data from websql server database table i going to store it in dataset and then i return dataset to another function which connects to local sqlserver database.but database records are much large. can any body guide me . i am going to place my web application on local server (C# asp.net 2.0) . thank you,
i tried this code c# file public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page { protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
//dr.Close(); //dbcon2.Close(); } web.config<configuration> <appSettings> <add key="abccon1" value="Data Source=comp01;Initial Catalog=abc;User Id=sa ; Password=sa"/> <add key="abccon2" value="Data Source=comp01;Initial Catalog=abctest;User Id=sa ; Password=sa"/> </appSettings> <connectionStrings/> this 2 databases are from single my loacl server it wont work it gives exception please healp me.
I need to create a new table on a SQL Server 2005 Database, but the data needed for the table is kept in different databases on different servers.
Half the data is on the SQL 2005 database, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem, but the other half is on a SQL Express database on a different server, is it possible to write a T-SQL query to retrieve this data on the other server?
Normally I use a create table + insert into kind of query to create custom tables but I don't know how to connect to the SQL Express server/database using T-SQL (if it's possible at all?) to do this.
Any tips, hints, ideas very welcome. Please use small words and short sentences.
I have a concern about restore whole SQL server environment.
1st server:
x86 SQL Server 2005 EE SP2 + hotfix 3159 is installed on Windows 2003 SP1 R2. SQL Server is running under Local System Account. Server is not part of AD.
2nd server
Win XP SP2, x86 SQL Server 2005 DE SP2 + hotfix 3159. SQL Server is running under Local Admin Account. Server is part of AD. Server has Credentials and linked servers
I'm trying to move all databases from server 2 to server 1
For this I am doing:
1) Create backup SMK
2) Detach all user databases
3) Backup all system databases
4) Copy all this stuff to server 1
5) Run Server 1 in single-mode (-m)
6) Restore master database
7) Try to restore backup SMK that was done on step 1 and get this error message:
Msg 15329, Level 16, State 11, Line 2 The current master key cannot be decrypted. If this is a database master key, you should attempt to open it in the session before performing this operation. The FORCE option can be used to ignore this error and continue the operation but the data encrypted by the old master key will be lost.
My understanding is that credential secrets, linked server login passwords are lost and should be recreated. DbMK can be restored using passwords.
As far as I know this can be avoided if the same domain account is using for both servers. But the question still this - if I have stand alone server, using local system account for the SQL Server service and have encrypted objects - I cannot restore SQL Server on another box (say in case disaster lost original one) without loosing credentials and linked servers even if I have all backups including backup of SMK.
I have a setup/deployment question regarding SQL Server Encryption.
Internal database encrypts data in 3 different tables. This could execute on any one of 6 different servers. The tables with encrypted data are replicated to another database on different servers (3)
How should the keys/certificates be created so that the data in the replicated database can be decrypted?
In my test scenario so far, I have been unable to have the second database decrypt the data that was encrypted on the first database (currently on the same server).
-- Create Database Master Key CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'p@ssw0rd' GO
-- Create Certificate CREATE CERTIFICATE MyCertificate WITH SUBJECT = 'My Data Encryption Certificate', EXPIRY_DATE = '10/31/2010'; GO
CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY MyKey WITH ALGORITHM = AES_256, IDENTITY_VALUE = 'My Symmetric Key', KEY_SOURCE = 'Unique phrase that will be used to secure the key' ENCRYPTION BY CERTIFICATE MyCertificate; GO
Hello,I am starting to examine using SQLServer instead of Oracle. I wentthrough the SQLServer import utility to copy tables from Oracle intoSQLServer. I then checked the size of the database.I then started to specify indices for the tables. I did not see thedatabase file size grow all that much. I kept on using the shrinkcommand to make sure that wasted space was removed. I even made surethat minimal free space was allowed.I was rather expecting (from experience with Oracle) that there wouldbe a large growth in the database when addind indices. So what did Imiss? Are the indices stored elsewhere and I missed them? DoesSQLServer handle indices differently so they dont' bloat the databasesize?The size of our data in SQLServer is a key factor in whether we movefrom Oracle, so I need to under how indices effect storage size.Thanks for any help.Bart TorbertJoin Bytes!
Hello everyone, Here's my situation... I'm running a web service which involves 51 seperate servers and databases. There are fifty licensee servers (One for each US state) and one corporate server. Each night I need to upload sales and membership data from the licensee's databases to the corporate database to compile reports. The application platform I'm using is ASP.NET 2.0 and the the database is SQL2005 express. I want this process to be run automatically, so I believe it's a scheduled windows service I need to setup up in .NET to make the data transfers. If anyone has already set something up like this, or knows the steps to take? I would love to have your input. Thanks in advance, Robert
