DB Engine :: Replicate A Master Test Database To 100 Test Environments?
Oct 12, 2015We are setting up a test lab environment with 100 machines. Â We want one master testing db that gets replicated to each to run scripted application tests nightly. Â
My goal is to minimize the amount of work to move this thing to each of the 100 test machines. Â I am wondering if we need to even have the sql local and invest in a monster db server with 100 copies of the db we restore and each test machine point to their own db on that server, or if I should use db mirroring or something to get the master test db to each of those machines instead.
Unit Testing For SSIS - To Test Or Not To Test?
Oct 17, 2006Now that we have a good programming model in SSIS - the question is whether to write automated unit tests for your packages, and would it generally be a good idea for packages?
Also - if yes to write tests - then where to find more informations regarding How to accomplish that?
How To Test SSis Package And What Are The Things I Need To Test It ?
Nov 27, 2007
hi every one,
i need to test SSIS pacakge which will import data from different database where record count is around 5 millions.
iam planning to test it through c# code as well as manually also.
SSIS source : consist of 7 tables
SSIS destination :consist of 7 tables
Using c# code iam trying to run ssis package through batch file.
i am putting expected rowcount, column count in an excel file and comparing same with destination tables by writing query implementing ADO.Net concept.
am i going right way ,can any one suggest best and productive way to test the ssis package .
what are the other things i need to test it.
do any one can add test cases to it.
S.No
Test Case
1
Verify all the tables have been imported.
2
Verify all the rows in each table have been imported.
3
Verify all the columns specified in source query for each table have been imported
4
Verify all the data has been received without any truncation for each column.
5
Verify the schema at source and destination
6
Verify the time taken /speed for data transfer
7
Fields truncated due to difference in length of the field at destination.

Jan 18, 1999Hi!
I'm currently having a problem connecting to my SQL Server6.5 test
server. (Not the hottest problem since it is only the test server, but
it sure would be nice to use it.) I was able to connect to it from my
desktop (Win95 machine) up until this morning. I get the following
error when I try connecting "A connection could not be established to
PIGLET- DB-Library. Unable to connect: SQL Server is unavailable or does
not exist. General network error. Check your documentation."
Does anyone have any idea what this should mean to me? I do have the
server running and I am able to perform actions there, but not from my
desktop. Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Auto Restore .bak From Production To Same Server's TEST Db With Other Dbs && .baks In Same Server.
Aug 10, 2007
Howdy;
I've tried this in the 'tools' area, but that didn't work too well. I suspect, I will have to generate a T-SQL code then schedule it as a job. Why I can't just drag and drop with basic desires, is beyond me, but THAT probably does exist.
anyway here is the problem
[this server has many databases, on SQL 2000 sp2]
1. User only wants me to use Monday morning's full backup, which is good in that it doesn't include transaction logs.
2. Restore that data overtop/into Developement db. = good, no data to worry about damaging.
3. User does NOT want me to do this by hand, but schedule it.
ok,
a. must do a RESTORE WITH FILELISTONLY from [?] what ?, master? and if I user the *.bak of the production, it has
a coded date field in the name entry SO, I would, I guess, have to generate all sorts of wonderful code to find the date and build a file name. Why, because using the FROM DISK = 'F:MSSQLBACKUPDBPRODUCTION_yyyyddmm.BAK' is not going to work with a wild card.
Can I do a file lookup using a 'PRODUCTION' prefix into a variable, then use that or should I look for latest file date [remember there are several database backups here], or ????
then. How does one schedule such a T-SQL. Do I save it to some text file, and invoke it using a job scheduler.
any help appreciated.
IS there an easier way.

Moving Just Data Between A Production Server & Test Server
Feb 28, 2000We have both a production SQL 7 server, QA, and Development. From time to time, I want to move just the data from the production server to the other 2 servers without modifing the objects that may have been changed such as stored procedures and rights. Is there a way using the SQL tools provided that we can just move the data. Becuase also what happens is that the rights to the objects change which means my developers no longer have access to the tables for selects in QA since the changes where overwritten by production where they do not have the rights.
Thanks

SQL 7 DB Restore To Test Server Using With Move
Jan 8, 2001I am trying to copy a production db (26.5 gigs) with a 3 gig log from production to a test server. The Prod db name is EDD_Cat which resides on one logical drive for the data (.mdf) and another logical drive for the log (.ldf). The test server does not have the same physical raid allocation. The only way that I can get that much space is to spread the data across 3 logical drives. I have preallocated a database called EDD_CatT with the same total physical db size. I have not been successful in restoring from a sql backup device (copied from production) to the new test db. Here are my tsql statements and error:
Restore Database EDD_Catt

with File=2,
Move 'EDD_Cat_dat' to 'D:Mssql7DataEDD_Cat.mdf',

I also tried using EM but basically got the same type of error.
I could do this with SQL 6.5 as long as the db size was the same or larger.
Any advice/suggestions will be greatly appreciated. BOL and the manuals that I have seem to only give examples that have one file for the data and another for the log but I could not find one that gave an example of what I am trying to do.

Creating Test SQL Server Environments
Nov 5, 2007Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has a neat (preferably automated) method of creating small testing databases from large production instances.
My requirement would be to copy the schema and a subset of configuration data from a production database into a test database. The subset of data would be a full copy of a subset of tables, rather than a subset of data within one or more tables. There is a mixture of SQL2000 and SQL2005 servers involved in this requirement. I'm familar with the scripting mechanisms of Enterprise Manager and Management studio and DTS packages, sufficent to perform a process like this manually, but want to productionise and schedule this process to be performed automatically.
I'm sure this must be a commonly performed task, so I'm interested to know if anyone has a "best practice" for this requirement.
Thanks,
Bill
Generating Test Data In SQL Server
Jul 3, 2006Hi,
I use SQL Server 2005 Dev Edition and am not new to making databases (then again, I've had enough experience and my dad does the same thing).
I am (unfortunately) a university student and for my dissertation I am going to produce a SQL Server database with a strong emphasis on data mining.
Obviously, for the data mining to be useful at all I need to produce loads and loads of test data.
Fair enough, and there are applications which do this, such as EMS Data Gen, but can anyone recommend me any other data gen utilities? EMS Data Gen has poor handling of unique attributes, and as I am doing a car manufacturer this will give me problems when I come to the registration number attribute.
Also, why are utilities for SQL Server (and Oracle at that) so expensive? This makes it out of my reach and makes it difficult to build a truly good database that will net me good marks, and demotivates me. :(
Lastly, please feel free to recommend to me any utilities for SQL Server - such as performance monitors, backup utilities. Anything. But if they are priced utilities, they have to be sensibly priced (<£100), because I cannot yet afford to pay >£1k on such utiltiies.
Thanks

SQL Server Test To Production Database Migration
Feb 25, 2006Hi,
Is there any tool available to migrate the data from the SQL Server
test database to SQL Server production database. Data Migration should
be based on a condition which can be given as an input for a table by
the user. The dependant tables also should be migrated based on the
condition. i.e data subsetting based on the matching conditions.
Ex : Salary > 2000
The rows of the table which matches the condition alone need to be
migrated for the corresponding table. Also its dependant table's
rows should be migrated based on the given condition. Please help me
with a tool which can automate this.
Thanks,

Memory Stress Test In SQL Server 2005
Apr 2, 2007I have a Windows 2003 Server running SQL 2005. The server has 32 GB of memory and I have enabled AWE in SQL. I have also configured the min and max SQL memory as 1 GB and 28 GB, respectively. However, this server currently has very low activity so I'm not sure whether my AWE-related changes worked. SQLSERVR.EXE process takes up about 100 MB of memory. Is there any tool or scripts that I can use to memory stress SQL to confirm that AWE is really in effect ?
View 1 Replies View RelatedTest Linked Server Connection SQL 2000
Feb 27, 2007I€™m trying to resolve an issue and wonder if anybody has ever run into and possibly had a resolution for.
I wrote a custom conflict resolvers to manage data at the column level. What I needed to do to achieve this was to use a remote query to the mobile subscriber that raised the conflict. I€™m trying to put in a rule that if there are any issues connecting to the subscriber I want to use the default conflict resolver and move forward. Here is my issue, it seems there is no way I can test a connection without getting a critical error that I can€™t seem to trap. Example
I was trying to do
Select * from [linkedserver].[database].[dbo].[incident]
If @@error <> 0
use default conflict resolver
What I did to test this was I changed the linked server authentication to an incorrect password to get the following error that there is no way to trap.
Server: Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 1
Login failed for user 'sa'.
Does anybody have an idea how to trap this? In SQL 2005 there is a stored procedure
sp_testlinkedserver to handle this but I need this to work in SQL 2000 also, it seems many people have ran into this issue on the web and I tried to get the one where sqldmo is used to test connection but that will not work since I wont always know the password. I would like to just check the @@error value after trying to run a remote query.
Thank you,

SQL Server 2008 :: Test If Each Subset Meets Requirements
Feb 25, 2015CREATE TABLE #tblTemplateBlocks
(
TemplateID int,
BlockID int,
OrderID int
[Code] ....
I have a table called TemplateBlocks which contains which Blocks are on a Template. In this example - just one template - with three Blocks.
Table tblFields contains a list of Fields that are on each TemplateID/BlockID. In this example there are 3 fields on each TemplateID/BlockID pair.
Before I can use a template, I have to check that, in tblFields, for each Template/BlockID pairing - one of the fields must be set as the Stage Base (I cannot have 2 fields as StageBase or no fields as StageBase). In the example data above, the data would be okay as each Template/BlockID pairing has one row where StageBase is true.
Having checked that each Template/BlockID pairing has a StageBase, I need to check that each row where StageBase is true has a value for the WeekStart column and that, taking into account the order of the Blocks in tblTemplateBlocks, the values in WeekStart for each TemplateID/BlockID pairing are getting progressively bigger.
So, for example, the example data above would fail because the third TemplateID/BlockID pairing has no value for the WeekStart column in the row where StageBase is true.
If I added a value of 2 for WeekStart in the row for the third TemplateID/Block that has a StageBase of true - again the data would fail because, taking into account the order of the Blocks - the values for WeekStart would be 0,3,2 and these numbers need to increase.
0,3,4 would be fine.
0,3,10 would be fine.
0,3,3 would fail.
I can do this easily using a cursor or two - but how to do this without cursors.

SQL 2000 Test Server Database Recovery Bombed
Feb 3, 2008I am a SQL lightweight and I tried to update the data on the test SQL server with the data on the production server and now the test SQL server won't start.
I was trying to move a sql database from our production server to our test server and things got mucked up. I think where I went wrong is that I tried to backup the database on the Production server and then restore it to the test server. I think I should have backup the production server and then detached the databases from the test server and then attached the backups. I got in a hurry and had an attitude that SQL is so good that if I mess up, I can recover.
These are the databases I recovered to test server:
Builder
CSales
CIB
Master
Model
MSDBdata
Now SQL server won€™t start and I get the error message that the database Model is in the middle of being restored. We are on SQL 2000. I tried to start from a command line with the €“f switch and it still can€™t come up.
Should I reinstall SQL and then attach the databases?
Do I need to bring over the Master, Model and MSDBdata data bases from the production servers.
SQL Server 2008 :: Create Test Portfolio Data Summing To 100%?
Feb 5, 2015I'm building a proc to generate fake stock portfolios for testing. I have a list of thousands of symbols, and I want the tester to be able to select how many symbols they want in their fake portfolio, and then give each symbol a random weighting (i.e. percentage held in that security) which, across all the symbols, sums to 100%. The securities here are not the part I care about, it's the weightings summing to 100 that's important.
So test data would look something like this:
/*
--This is the repository of potential symbols I can add to a fake portfolio.
-- So the simple part is basically select top (@symbolCt) from #PossibleSymbols, plus some magic I have yet to determine
if object_id('tempdb.dbo.#PossibleSymbols') is not null drop table #PossibleSymbols
create table #PossibleSymbols
(
SymbolID int
)
insert into #PossibleSymbols (SymbolID)
