Hi All,
I wish to copy between 2 tables in different databases.
( The source and destiantion tables already exist)
The source table has duplicate entries which i want to avoid from being copied to destination table.
How can i achieve this?
Thanks in advance..!!

If I have to copy data from one database to a temporary database on the same server, which transaction log will be written to as a result? Will it be the DB that the command is run from, the source DB, or possibly tempdb's log?
Thanks

How can I copy a database from one server to another when they are not on the same network! I have tried to copy across the backup file from one and attempted a restore but i keep getting an error message (Abnormal execution).
Is there a way to do this! HELP!
Sages,
I have been trying to do this using both DTS and BACKUP/RESTORE. With the former my logins and users get transferred but no one can login. It's as if they are not linked to each other.
With the latter there are no logins to link to the db users. In Sybase we used to bcp the master..syslogins table. Does this work with MSSQL 7.0? Any other suggestions? TIA.
My production server has 8 databases connected to SAN where all the data resides.
This also has the system databases. There are two internal drives where I store the log files
We will be buying additional internal drives for the server and want to move all data to these drives
and free up SAN for other use.
Do I need to start building this server from scratch or is there an easy way to do this.
I can use sp_attach_db and sp_detach_db too but I prefer backup and restore
Is this the best option:
backup all the databases
uninstall sql server (since system databases are on SAN)
Reinstall sql server
Restore eveything on these new drives
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated
I have a T-SQL script which deataches and attaches the database. Now here is what I want to do:
I
want to create a SQL Server Job and schedule it to run at a particular
time of the month to Detach all the databases on my local machine and
*Copy all the deatched databases over a network machine* and then
Attach those Database.
All this should be done in T-SQL. I
already have the T-SQLs for Attaching and Detaching. All I need is to
know the T-SQL (example) which will copy the *Detached Databases* from
mu local computer to my Network Computer. How do I achieve that?
Thanks

This question is about SQL Server 2005:
I have been trying to figure out how to copy tables and stored procedures between 2 databases (on the same server) using SQL Server Management Studio. I have tried right clicking on the table name, "script table as", "drop to", "clipboard", then I click on the 2nd database, and then click on the "tables" . I change the name of the database and click "execute". This creates the table but does not copy the data. I have also tried "create to" "clipboard" and "insert to" "clipboard" and cannot seem to be able to figure out how to get the results that I want. I am new at this but need to get the tables with the data copied along with the stored procedures, even if I have to do them one at a time. When I was using SQL Server 2000, I was able to use DTS to copy objects to other databases easily. Can someone please tell me a way to accomplish what I need to do? I have gotten information here before that was very useful and was hoping that someone can help me again.Thank you so much. Carol Quinn
I Have a problem when copying data from one server to another in Management studio, I need to create and exact copy of the original because of primary key relationships,
Currently when I export the data the data will run through an insert type statement, which means that all PKs are reissued, rather than being duplicated from the original, How can I be sure that the data will be copied exactly how it is on one server to the other.
i've created a package that will copy data from an oracle table to a sqlserv table (that table elemenst are identical), when i click on the connecting line between the two connections it executes without any errors, but nothing is copied, when i try to execute the package i'm getting an error... where can i go to find out what's causing the error. There is no error message or number returned from dts, all i get is a red 'x' . There are 1236 records that need to be inserted and when i get the red 'x' it tells me 1236 records have been processed. When i click on tranformations and select test, it works, but since it's a test nothing is actually copied. I've got other packages that i've created that do the same thing with other tables and they work. I tried just copying one record and that worked, so i assumed it must be data dependent, i've checked all the fields and made sure they weren't null, i've checked to make sure there aren't duplicate primary key records. Without knowing what the actual error is I'm stumped ???
Is it possible to easily copy data from one table to another if the data types don't match. I know you can do a INSERT INTO table1(col1,col2) SELECT (col2,col7) FROM table2 if the data types match but is there a way to do this if they don't. I'm not trying to copy date times into bit fields or anything. I just have an old table that I built when I really didn't know what I was doing now I at leastthink I have a better understanding of what data types to use, so I was wanting to move the data in the orignal table to my new one. Most of the fields in the olddatabase are text datatypes and the new database is nvarchar(50) data types. Thanks for any suggestions.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got two DBs in the same SQL instance. They are named TST and PRD. I am using 2.0 so there are many ASP generated tables also. Every once in a while I want to refresh data from PRD to TST. But I don't want to copy the data from ASP tables.What is the easiest way to do so?
View 6 Replies View RelatedRene writes "Good evening. This is my first time using sqlteam for answers and I'm hoping I can get some much needed direction.
Basically what I am trying to accomplish is taking records from a temporary source table to a permanent table. Here is what the tables look like (oversimplistic version)
tblTemp
ID
Value1
Imported
FailedReason
tblPerm
ID
Value1
Basically I would like to take the values from tblTemp and INSERT them into tblPerm. The catch is that values in tbltemp might violate primary key constraint because of duplicate values in the ID field. The value1 field is required in tblPerm and it might contain a null value on tbltemp causing the insert statement to fail.
What I would like the end result to be is that any records which are INSERTED from tbltemp to tblperm are flagged with a value of imported=1 on the tbltemp table. Any records which fail should then be flagged as imported=0 and failedreason=reason for failing.
I am trying the following to start with but am not sure if I am steering in the right direction or not. The process should be as automated as possible, perhaps part of a scheduled dts package or likewise since new data will be inserted in the tbltemp table on a weekly basis.
set rowcount 1
update tblsource set imported = 0 where imported is null
insert into tbldest (col1, col2)
select top 1 col1, col2 from tblsource where imported = 0 and notimportreason is null
IF @@Error <> 0
GOTO ErrorHandler
UPDATE tblsource SET imported = 1 where imported = 0 and notimportreason is null
ErrorHandler:
update tblsource SET notimportreason = @@error where imported = 0 and notimportreason is null
RETURN"

HI,
I just copied sm data from a table in a DB to a flat file which I have created previaouly in my documents in my local machine.
I used the following command.
C:Documents and Settingsshamen> dbname.tablename out flatfile.txt -T
Once I run this it prompted two questions asking pre-fix lenght and field terminator. I jsut accepted the default values.
After I run it, it copied data. But when I see the flat file , I did not see data in that file.
To where data has been copied?
it says 10000 rows succesfully bulk-copied to host file. Total received 6176000.
But I dont see data there now.
Is there any simple way to copy tables from one database to another in SQL Management Studio or VS 2005? I sometimes work split work between home and work and I often need to copy and table and its data (data, stored procedure, etc) to a different database, but having to create a new database then copy the data is a pain. Is there an easier way?

I have two servers, one is 2005 standard, the other is 2005 express.
I'm using express to record test results and it will be keep recording non-stop.
So, what I want to do is I want to transfer data from express to standard using SSIS package, and as soon as data gets transferred the data to no longer exists in express.

I have the following table:
Table name: RR
columns:
Subject (varchar (35), Null)
Topic (varchar (35), Null)
RD (text, null)
RR (text, null)
Picture (varchar (50), Null)
Video (varchar (50), Null)
RRID (int, Not Null)
TSTAMP (datetime, Null)
RRCount (int, Not Null)
This table stores common information used in resolving technical problems based on Subject and Topic. However, I've now created a Subject/Topic where I want to copy all the data that corresponds to another Subject/topic.
Example:
There are 35 rows that correspond to Subject = 'Publisher01' and Topic = 'Subcategory03'. I want to create 35 new rows that contain the same RD and RR data, but have Subject = 'Publisher02' and Topic = 'Subcategory07'. Highest current RRID = 5008
I cannot figure out how to write that query. I apologize in advance for the fact that this is, no doubt, a seriously beginner question.

We've had a new server set up with SQL 2012 and I'm in the process of moving data to it from a 2008 (SP2) server.
Details are as follows:-

I don't want to do a backup/restore routine as there are collation conflicts on the 2008 server.I've created the database and tables on the 2012 instance and now I want to transfer the data from the 2008 instance to the 2012 one.
The 2012 instance has a linked server to the 2008 instance.I was trying to use sp_MSForEachTable (I know, it's old and will probably disappear shortly) but that doesn't seem to work properly because some of the columns have an Identity field set up.
Some of the tables have upwards of 10 million records in them and are quite sizeable.how I can achieve the transfer without a back-up/restore?
hi all
i have two databases on two different machines.
both databses r having same names.
i want to copy data from the table in other database to table in databse on my machine .
how can i do this.
i will be very thankful to receive help.
Can i do something like this
INSERT INTO CITIBANK.dbo.Contract (*)
FROM exec sp..
where sp is the stored procedure ?
Or do i need to specify all the colums where the * is ?
and if so is it the columns from the SP or the colums
from the destination table ?
Hi all!I have an application that needs to copy the database structure fromone database to another without using the "Generate SQL Script"function in Enterprise Manager. I'd like to do this from within astored procedure. Can someone recommend the best approach for this?I've seen references to using SQL-DMO from a stored procedure using thesp_OA* procs in other postings to this group but was wondering if therewas an easier way? Can I use bcp and then use xp_cmdshell from withinmy stored procedure? It's not clear to me from the documentationwhether bcp copies both structure and data or just data? Is there abetter way?Thanks in advance for any help!Karen
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi. I need to move data from one database table to
another across database instances. A simple example of the typical
move would be:
[CODE]
INSERT into destination_db.dbo.table1
SELECT column1, column2, column3, column4 from source_db.dbo.table2
[/CODE]
My options are:
1. Create an SSIS package to perform the move.
2. Create sprocs and schedule the data move as jobs.
3. Write .NET code using sprocs to perform the move.
I'll have to move hundreds of thousands of records, so I want the
option that provides the best performance. I'm guessing that option 3
will be the slowest.
Thanks for the help!
I'm trying to copy a data base from one server to another. Both servers are running 2005 MSDE, on Win 2k3, the target server is 64 bit.
I'm using the Copy Database function, and ultimately it fails with the error in the event viewer in the targe machine:
Faulting application dtexec.exe, version 2005.90.1399.0, stamp 43500d1a, faulting module kernel32.dll, version 5.2.3790.1830, stamp 42438b79, debug? 0, fault address 0x0000000000027d0d.
I have tried both the Attach/Detach & the SMO method, and they both give me the same error. I have 'Repaired' the .NET framework on the target machine, with the same result.
Does anyone have any Suggestions? I really only need at this time to make one copy of the database.
Thanks

Hello,
I have a Data Flow Source that uses a SQL Command to pull data. In the SQL statement, I used CAST to change all varchar types to Nvarvchar to suit MS Access. I can preview the data from the source. In testing, the SQL statement only pulls about ten records.
I have a Microsoft 2000 Access database table as a destination. Data in each column in the table is required, and all columns have defaults.
I also have a grid data viewer set up. I have the DefaultBufferMaxRows set to 2 so that I can see data going across. When I execute this dataflow, no data is transfered to the Access database table. No data shows up in the dataviewer. There are no errors. The 'Execution Results' tab does not show errors, but indicates that zero rows were transfered. There are no warnings.
How do I begin to isolate the problem? The following is the SQL Statement in the Data Flow Source. Thank you for your help! - cdun2

I am trying to bulk copy some XML data into a SQL and am generally doing quite well. The XML data I have been given has a child node called "name" which is the same as in the parent node as shown in the highlight of the XML source below. Now I can retrive the data in the parent node using
bulk.ColumnMappings.Add("name", "Name")
but I cannot get any of the data from the child node "Catagory" or " Catagories". Have you any suggestions on how I can get this data.
