Choices For Duplicating Database
Aug 22, 2006
I am developing an application that uses SQL Server 2000 for the back end. I am at the stage where some modules in the app can be tested while I finish development on some others. I run my own tests against SQL Server running on my own PC but for other people to test I have set up another server with SQL Server 2000 and have restored my database there.
My question is as follows:
I would like any changes to my database (structure and data) to be replicated on the test server's database (not necessarily immediately, but without much delay). I've heard the buzz words (log shipping, replication, etc) but would like some advice on the best way to proceed.
At the moment I don't need any data back from the test server and I don't particularly care if test data on that server is lost although these may become issues later on.

thanks for reading.
i would like to create a new database role that has exactly the same permissions as an existing database role. the combinations of permissions are complicated enough to make this a time consuming task worthy of a script of some sort. any suggestions?
i'm running SQL Server 2000 and can't find anything about copying roles unless it's through DTS from one DB to another. not sure if this is applicable to basically duplicating and renaming a role in one database.
in case you're wondering why anyone would want to do this you may not be surprised to know that it's a government thing. some policy about differentiating between 2 roles -- even though they currently have exactly the same permissions, the similarities might change in the future.
thanks in advance for your input.

"TempDB in RAM. This option allows SQL Server to process the results of intermediate database operation in memory rather than on the hard disk. If you have enough memory available, using TempDB in RAM can dramatically improve performance of sorting, GROUP BY calculations, joins and queries that require temporary work tables"
Hi, that was a quote from MS white paper over the internet... Does that mean that I can get faster query output once I used the temp DB in Ram... what other things which I do not know that I may worry about if I use tempDB in Ram...
when allocating some ram to the tempdb, does that mean that I am not going to use it ... Please advice

I need to pass a parameter to a stored procedure that allows the user to select all store numbers or a combination thereof.
The portion that selects all works fine. I am have trouble with the later. My code looks like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE vch_GetSurgeryPatientsWithoutOrdersFromEyeSite_clb
(
@StartDate datetime,
@EndDate datetime,
@center varchar (1000)
)
AS
IF @StartDate IS NULL
BEGIN
Set @StartDate = GetDate()
Set @EndDate = (GetDate ()+90)
END
Declare @StoreList TABLE ( CenterID int )
-- Get our Centers
IF ( @Center = 'ALL' ) or ( @Center IS NULL )
BEGIN
INSERT @StoreList
SELECT DISTINCT POS_Site_ID FROM LVIGP.dbo.POS40108 (nolock)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT @StoreList
SELECT DISTINCT POS_Site_ID
FROM LVIGP.dbo.POS40108 (nolock) WHERE POS_Site_ID = @Center
END
the first if statement returns all of the store number like this
CenterID
001
002
010
024
057
the second if returns nothing
I tried using coalesce but it returns the store number like this:
CenterID
001, 002, 010, 024, 057
This does not work with the rest of my program.

Ok. Here is what I need to do. I don't even know if it is possible. I have a production server and a db backup server. In a perfect world, I want to be able to place a copy of my databases (users and all) on the backup server and have it update (all changes) regularly.
I messed with DTS but it errors out because I don't have user accounts set up on the backup server. (I'm not entirely sure it does anything I want to do anyway)
Can anyone help me find a clue?

Wondering if anyone has pro's and cons for choosing a vehicle to build front end applications for a SQL Server 2000 back end.
Historically we used Access 97 with VBA code to create client side ODBC connections. In Code we would issue stored procedures through a connection string. This worked fine.
With Microsoft moving onward our company is transitioning to supported products. So DAO is dead.
My colleagues like Access 2000 and have imported some 97 databases doing small re-writes to make them work.
Everything I read says we should be interacting with SQL using ADO.
The other problem is not all users have admin rights on their machines, so adding application extensions for VB6 is a problem. We might be able to change this.
Should we just build with Access 2000 from scratch using ADO to avoid JET?
Should we use VB6?
Is there another application we should be looking at?

Hello,
I am searching for a resolution. I did a few searches on this site and could not gain the exact answer. I apologize is this thread is a duplicate.
I have written a report containing Multi-Values for Reporting Services. When a user selects the values for the report parameters, the checked values continue to be selected after the report is completed.
Is there a way to clear these parameters?
Some of our users run the same report more than once during a single web session.
Thank you for your attention!

I need to make a brief presentation to upper management about High Availability options in SQL Server 2005.
Current choices being considered are:
- Failover clustering
- Log shipping
- Mirroring
Q1: Are there other choices?
Q2: How do these choices compare in terms of cost, complexity of setup, ease of deployment, recovery procedures in case of a disaster?

i have a database on one server that I want to duplicate on a new server. I do not want to copy the data only the structure.
I created some SQL scripts from the current db as I have read that is what I should do.
My question is where do I use this script on my new server to create the new tables etc..
Do i use the import feature. Where do I run my sql script?
thanks

I am very well versed on manipulating data using passthrough queries through access or the command object in ADO/VBA but this problem requires a sql server side solution and I have been assigned the task
Scenario
Access via an ODBC link cannot view Sql table data that uses a BigInt as a primary key. Access can update the data, insert data ands delete data to these tables - but viewing (by design) returns the actual count of the rows but each field is populated with #deleted.
I can view the table data if I use a passtyhrough query but performing row level and field level edits from there is impossible. Not all people have Studio manager so that is not an option.
We are moving away from our legacy application and the development company has already developed the schema using the BigInt so changing that to a numeric or integer is out of the question. My boss has determined that using a set of bridge tables with identical tables in a different database where we replace the bigint with int will work - we can view the data in the "bridged" database and even update it from select queries and simply by opening the table in view mode from Access.
Here is the hard part (for me) because I have never done this. I can write SQL and understand the security/roles etc, but I have never administered SQL server regarding server side triggers and stored procedures - I have always used the command object or passthrough queries to deal with sql stored procedures. I need to either
A)Create some trigger behind the tables in my bridge table that will fire a stored procedure to replicate the data to the bigint database. They are both on the same sever.
B)Somehow create a "mirror" that always replicates from my bridge database tables (5 of them) to the new database.

1 | orga | lec1 | 5
2 | orgb | lec1 | 3
3 | orga | lec2 | 3
the result im looking to get is something like this where the name of the attendess would be inputed in an application.
id | orginization | lecture | nameofattende
1 | orga | lec1 | j. blog
2 | orga | lec1 | s. smith

I'm building a hosted website and I am using SQL 2005.
The DBA for the host has told me that i can not encrypt a symmetric key with a certificate, when using that symmetric key for encryption. As i read that this method provided optimum performance/ security for encrypting columns of data.
The DBA told me i can use a cert or a symmetric key for encryption.
I have searched for comparisons and found a blog entry by Laurentiu Cristofor comparing certs with asymmetric keys. Which leads me to believe that certs and asymm are very different than symmetric keys.
My question is which is the best choice in a hosted environment for column encryption, a cert or symmetric key.
Which is more secure? Does one offer a significant performance (dis)advantage?
TIA

Hi, I am copying records in a table. The source table and the target table are the same. I need the value from the id-field from both the source and target row. Is there a way to do this with one query?
I tried the following, but it doesn't seem to work:
INSERT tableOne (value1, value2, value3)
OUTPUT source.id, inserted.id
SELECT value1, value2, value3 FROM tableOne AS source
WHERE ID = @number

I'm using a Unicode sql script imported using OSQL. One of the valueswe are attempting to insert is a Registry Multi-String value by passinga string to a stored procedure. These Multi-String values appear to bedelimited by a Hex 06 (^F) character. When I import this character,embedded in a string preceeded by an N, i.eN'somethingsomething2something3'I end up with TWO of this character in the db. I get :somethingsomething2something3Any help figuring out why or how to fix this? We MUST use Unicode dueto extended character sets, so NOT using Unicode is NOT a solution.

I built a query that brings in 'Discounts' (bolded) to the Order detail by using the bolded syntax below. I started off by running the query without the bolded lines and got exactly what I was looking for but without the ‘Discount’ column. When I tried to add the ‘Discount’ into the query, it duplicated several order lines. Although total ‘Discount’ column ties out to the total amount expected in that column, ‘Total Charges’ are now several times higher than before.
For example, I get 75 records when I run without the bolded syntax and I get several hundred results back when adding back in the bolded syntax when i should still be getting 75 records, just with an additional column ‘PTL Discount’ subtotaled.My question is, how to I introduce a new select or join from another table without duplicating the original data?
select
first_stop.actual_departure ‘Start'
, last_stop.actual_departure 'End'
, last_stop.city_name 'End city'
, last_stop.state 'End state'
, last_stop.zip_code 'End zip'
[code]....

Has anyone encounted a problem with Reporting Services (2005) with the following scenario:
A report with a dropdown parameter allowing a Select All choice -
If the selection list is fairly long and Select All is selected - if the user clicks the View Report button the selection list is completely reset (i.e. all items are unselected). This seems to happen if the user quickly clicks the View Report button immediately after clicking the Select All box on the parameter dropdown.
This happens inconsistently - some users experience it frequently while others do not see it at all (using the same parameter values, etc.)

I have the following code.
SELECT _bvSerialMasterFull.SerialNumber, _bvSerialMasterFull.SNStockLink, _bvSerialMasterFull.SNDateLMove, _bvSerialMasterFull.CurrentLoc,
_bvSerialMasterFull.CurrentAccLink, _bvSerialMasterFull.StockCode, _bvSerialMasterFull.CurrentAccount, _bvSerialMasterFull.CurrentLocationDesc,
_bvSerialNumbersFull.SNTxDate, _bvSerialNumbersFull.SNTxReference, _bvSerialNumbersFull.SNTrCodeID, _bvSerialNumbersFull.SNTransType,
_bvSerialNumbersFull.SNWarehouseID, _bvSerialNumbersFull.TransAccount, _bvSerialNumbersFull.TransTypeDesc,
[code]...
However, as you can see, the original select query is run twice and joined together.What I was hoping for is this to be done in the original query without the need to duplicate the original query.

We replicate a SQL2000 database (DataBaseA) to a SQL2000 database (DataBaseB) by using the Restore function and hasn't change its logical name but only the physical data path and file name. It is running fine for a year. We use the same way to migrate the DataBaseB to a new SQL2005 server with the Restore function and the daily operation is running perfect. However, when we do the Backup of DatabaseB in the SQL2005, it just prompt the error message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of full-text catalog 'DataBaseA' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please note we left the DataBaseA in the old SQL2000 server.
Please help on how we can delete the Full-text catalog from DatabaseB so we can do a backup
Many Thanks

Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.
