We have a file where my co-employee backup's our database. The problem is that the file is getting too large because he always use APPEND when he backup's. Is there a way to delete some of the appended backup instances?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi All,
I got a job which runs every day this T-SQL code:
BACKUP DATABASE [myDB] TO DISK = N'f:BACKUPSDailymyBKUP.bak' WITH NOINIT , NOUNLOAD , NAME = N'mybackup', NOSKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT
It runs just fine but in append Mode (the default one); the bak file is being taped every night, so I would like to overwrite it, in order it not to become huge after a few time, but I can't seem to find a clear way to do this.
Any help or pointing would be appreciated!
Cheers,

Hi All:Being a bit of a nube to MSSQL I could use a little advice. This is thesituation.A client's HDD became full so I backed up, deleted then recreated a blankdatabase (they said they didn't need the stored data).They have now deceided that they want the data again.My plan is to restore the database to a second volume so it can grow as muchas is needed, however, there is now data in the second instance that wouldneed importing to the restored DB.I can restore the backed up db with a different name and reconfigure thesoftware that accesses it but what would be the best method to append therestored DB with the data in the current instance of said DB? Both DBs areidentical.TIAMP

Hi,
I have a database on sqlserver 2005.I usually take a full db backup and sequential transaction log backups and append each of the backups it to a backup file.Now if i want to copy my second transaction log file to a specific folder on my server.Do we have any procedure to do it.
Regards
Arvind L
Look at this scenario
1- I have created a backup device
2- I have created a maintenance plan full backup and run it - with overwrite option on the backup device
3- I have created a maintenance plan differential backup and run it with append option on the same file of backup device
4- I have created a maintenance plan log backup with append option on the same backup device
When I made restore database from the backup device i found three files the full and differential and log backup
5- I ran again the differential backup maintenance plan ( suppose to be ran everyday night )
when i made restore database I found only two backups the full and the last differential !!!
what I want to do is to take a full backup every week , append differential backup everyday and append log backup every hour
when I ran the last differential backup it erased the first differential and log backups, why is this happening and how to apply this scenario and keep the all differential backups on the same backup device .
Dear All,
I know the basic defiinition of these two options, but i am not very clear why would someone choose one over another,
currently I am using Append to Media option, and every day backup, I see my backup files growing in size.
can someone give me nice example about these two options,
Thanks,
Hi there
I'm getting this message on my third automated backup of the transaction logs of the day. Both databases are in full recovery mode, both successfully backed up at 01.00. The transaction logs backed up perfectly happily at 01:30 and 05:30, but failed at 09:30.
The only difference between 05:30 and 09:30's backups is that the log files were shrunk at 08:15 (the databases in question are the ones that sit under ILM2007, and keeping the log files small keeps the system running better).
Is it possible that shrinking the log files causes the database to think that there hasn't been a full database backup?
Thanks

I'd like to create a table on our SQL server that I can append records to when running a query.
What i intend to do is create a new table with the same fields as the query then when the query runs i want it to append the results to this new table. Is this possible? How would I go about creating the table, primary key etc?
I've tried doing this through an access front end but its not efficient and was a bit of a struggle to be honest.
Also, we need other people who may not have access to enterprise manager to be able to run this append query.

I have a problem with a dropdowncontrol. It is databound, but I need to add "select..." to be the first item in the dropdown. Here is the SQL:SELECT * FROM [PB_Subtopics] Where BriefID=" + DropDownList1.SelectedValueSo the problem I am having is I can't just make an item in the dropdownlist called "select..." and then use appenddatabounditems="true". I'm using ajax and it keeps appending stuff over an over without resetting. So I think I'm going to have to do this within the sql. So maybe that was more information than you needed to know. Anyone know how to make the first row of my SQL results be "select..." or whatnot with a value of 0.

How do I append data on an update?
I have a table with a field that is nVarchar(1000) and the initial insert is a few sentences. If I wanted to add to that row using an update statement and without starting at the end of the sentences, how would I write that?
Update table set fieldname = 'more data' where value = @variable
instead of
Update table set fieldname = 'initial data more data' where value = @variable
and the 'more data' appends to the initial data... hmmm
help please.

I need to copy data from one SQL table to another SQL table. Is is possible to use DTS to Append and update data from one table to another....along the line of using a Microsoft Access append or update query?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a huge table with data.I run a procedure everyday to update the table's data with our daily current sales.Let's say the table's primary index is product type.The procedure recreates a skeleton of the table to make sure that it will add only those records whose product type is new to our database thus ignoring the rest of the records due to duplicate key violation error.Now this used to work in access where I used to get a message saying that only 200 out of 4000 records were added,3800 were ignored due to violation key errors.
But in SQL Server, no records at all are being added.Is there a way to overcome this problem?? I tried using "set xact abort" but it only worked in case of foreign key violation but not primary key.
I would really appreciate your inquiry.
Thank you.
Here is a sample query:
SELECT column + 'xyz'
FROM table
Works great and I get the data I need, but how do I get this into a new column?Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hi guys I have a quick Q:

tblOne
ID/ PageName / Desc /URL
12/Home Page/This is the home page/www.fff.com
tblTwo
ID/ Name /Link
34/News Page/www.bbb.ie
I wish to create a new table or stored procedure to append one table(which has 4 colums) onto the other(which has only 3 columns) giving the following results:
ID / Name /Link
12/Home Page/www.fff.com
34/News Page/www.bbb.ie
Thanks for help in advance!
I would highly appreciate help to :
I have two databases that are of the same schema but in one-database-A the records are a bit older than the other database-B. I would lilke to sync the records from database-B to database-A appending the records to database-A. The schemas have constraints,primary keys and other defaults in common.
What is the best way to do this task? I tried to use DTS but it fails throwing error Primary key violations on the tables.
Thanks a lot for a good suggestion.

I have a bcp command that works fine except that I want it to over write what is in the table rather than append to it. Is there a way to do this or another method I should try?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat would be the steps to create a SSIS job to append records from an ODBC table to a SQL table, adding only the records from the source that do not already exist in the destination?
I have another post on this subject, with a good suggestion for the approach, but I need some more detailed instructions for implementing it:
Have you considered to use a Lookup task in your data flow to check if the row already exists in the destination table and then use the error output (no matches) for inserting only non existing rows? Notice that the error output of the lookup task needs to be set as 'redirect rows' in order to get this behavior

Hi All,
When calling my SELECT statement, I would like to have Column name and Data type as the first record. Is this possible to do?
I would like to make a SP that would select all data from any table(with a header row) with just:
_sp_getData ' table_name'
I looked at sysobjects, and syscolumns tables, but was unable to put it all together. I have over 200+ tables, so creating variables for every column is very cumbersome.
Something like this:
select 0 AS SortCol ,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 1 then column_name end) as varchar) as col1,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 2 then column_name end) as varchar) as col2,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 3 then column_name end) as varchar) as col3,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 4 then column_name end) as varchar) as col4,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 5 then column_name end) as varchar) as col5,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 6 then column_name end) as varchar) as col6,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 7 then column_name end) as varchar) as col7,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 8 then column_name end) as varchar) as col8,
cast(min(case ordinal_position when 9 then column_name end) as varchar) as col9
from information_schema.columns where table_name = 'authors'
union all
select 1 , au_id, au_lname, au_fname, phone, address, city, state, zip,
cast(contract as varchar)
from authors
Is not an option.
Thank you very much in advance,

hi,
I am in the process of creating an append query that sends the fields of an open form from my ms access 2000 db to a table in ms sql 2000. I've successfully linked the ms sql tables and created the query to pull data from my form but when i run the append i get a key violation error and nothing gets appended. I know which field is the primary key in ms sql i just don't know how to change my access table to suit, any ideas?
To start I've made my append query simple and it just pulls the contact name. Here's my sql statement if that helps.
CODE
INSERT INTO dbo_PatientMaster ( PatientFirstName, PatientLastName, PatientAccountNumber )
SELECT [Forms]![Contacts]![FirstName] AS Firstname, [Forms]![Contacts]![LastName] AS [Last], [Contacts]![PatientAccountNumber] AS [Patient Account Number]
FROM Contacts, dbo_PatientMaster
GROUP BY [Forms]![Contacts]![FirstName], [Forms]![Contacts]![LastName], [Contacts]![PatientAccountNumber];
In access the patient account number is empty and I just created that field in my access table today.
thanks in advance
Hi I have a table with the following structure:
Table1
-------
Dept
Filed1
Filed2
Field3
Field4
Field5
I have another table with the following structure
(Basically this table will contain a subset of coloumns of Table1)
Table2
-------
Dept
Field1
Field2
Now using a query I would like see all the records with all coloumns in Table1 plus all the records in Table2 appended
i.e
if Table1 row is
IT F1 F2 F3 F4 F5
and if Table2 row is
IT F11 F22
Sales F12 F23
I would like to see a result set with the following structure
Resultset
IT F1 F2 F3 F4 F5
IT F11 F22 NULL NULL NULL
Sales F12 F23 NULL NULL NULL
Can some body explain me how to do this with a query. I tried using union but it requires identical coloumns on both ends( Ofcourse, we can acheive this by having Field3,Field4 and Field5 as blank columns in Table 2 but I don't wanna do that as my original tables are too huge to handle this).
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sai
Is there a way to do so on the fly in SQL Server 2000? In other words, a field has the latest update date for the table and we wish to use this date as part of the table name. If so, please provide an example.

Hi
I am doing an A level database project. I need to build a system to deal with ordering and selling products.
I am trying to make an append query that will append all the products bought in my "invoices" table to my "archive" table. I want invoices that are three months old to be transferred the the "archive" table. I have been trying to put a criteria in the query for the Date field but I haven't managed to find an expression that works.
I'm sorry if this is too simple and you guys think im just being stupid.
I figured it was worth asking on here!! It's really bugging me.
