Hi,
how to clone a database in sqlserver and what are the pre-requisites
we need to take care before doing that if it is a production server,,, since we can not bounce the database ...
We need a drive cloning app, like Ghost, that will allow us to transfer a production image off of a HDD to other PCs. The problem with this is that
our production needs SQL in order to run and transferring the initial image to uniquely named workstations causes DB registration problems. Is there
an app that will allow us to configure this transferred image so that SQL will refer to the "new" drive instead in of the "old"?
Tengo una aplicacion desarrollada en POWERBUILDER y accede a una base de Datos SQL, deseo utilizar la misma aplicacion para acceder a otra base de Datos SQL en el mismo servidor. La segunda Base de Datos tiene que ser inicialmente un clon del original para hacer pruebas con los mismos usuarios. A nivel de la aplicacion puedo solucionar cambiando los parametros de nombre de base de datos, pero como puedo hacer a nivel del servidor?.

Using SQL Server 2005 Express.I need to periodically duplicate an entire database and rename it. Mosttables are empty but some are to be prepopulated. I was thinking of havinga "template" database called perhaps "EmptyDatabase", and then copy thatinto a freshly created database with a new name.Has anyone coded anything like this?Thanks.GS
View 3 Replies View RelatedI loved the DTS feature that allowed saving DTS package as a VB model. With a bit of coding you could generate a number of packages from one template.
Are there any analogous solutions for SSIS? I cannot find anything.
My goal is simple. I have an ETL step that transfers data from staging dimension table to the corresponding star schema table in the subject matter database. I have two types of packages for SCD type 1 and type 2. Do you have any suggestions on how I can clone packages so that I don€™t have to go manually through each of them to replace certain items such as stored procedure names, etc.
Thank you!
Guys!!
How are you all? Im new to this forum as you can probably tell. I have joined up because i need advice in a matter and this seems like the best pace on the net for SQL Server help. Let me outline first what im trying to do;
Im part of a large company of roughly 5000 or so desktops and 3000 or so laptops. We currently have a project under way where we inted to build 50 or so identical laptops that will be used for testing mechanical equipment. Now the team involved have designed there own program that will connect to a main server in Head Office and transfer over the updated SQL server databases on the latop. every couple of days after doing tests, this tests - stored in a SQL DB - will be synced with the server to prevent loss of data.
Now my queston, is it possible to Clone an operating system with the following apps already installed;
SQL Server 2005
SQL Server Nature Client
SQL Server Setup Files
SQL Server Vss Writer
I made an inital clone, but when i went into the user groups, i found SQL server users with a PC name of the inital 'base build' PC. It seems these accounts cannot be copied from one machine to another.
Will the SQL database still run fine, or will there be big problems when copnnecting the the Server in Head Office?
Would it be better to just install the SQL Server components after a new latop has been created?
Anyway any help at all would be great on this matter, cheers!!
I have a DTS package on SQL Server 2000 that loads a table from a text file daily. The text file has 148 distinct fields that are mapped to a corresponding 148 columns on the table. I need to recreate the package to SQL Server 2005. Is there any shortcut to replicating the mapping from DTS to SSIS or do I need to redo from the beginning?

Can any one tell me how and what are the steps to Clone the Database and how do the set of users (lets say 300) will be connected to that Cloned Database.
Your helping steps would be appreciated.

I am using SQL Server 2005 and trying to create a linked server on Oracle 10. I used the commands below:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'test1',
@srvproduct = 'Oracle',
@provider = 'MSDAORA',
@datasrc = 'testsource'
exec sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
@rmtsrvname = 'test1',
@useself = 'false',
@rmtuser='sp',
@rmtpassword='sp'
When I execute
select * from test1...COUNTRY
I get the error. "The OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "...." does not contain the table "COUNTRY". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table."
The 'sp' user I am connecting is the owner of the table. What could be the problem ?
Thanks a lot.
I have created a table Table with name as Varchar and id as int. Now i have started inserting the rows like, insert into Table values ('arun',20).Yes i have inserted a row in the table. Now i have got the values " arun's ", 50. insert into Table values('arun's',20) My sqlserver is giving me an error instead of inserting the row. How will you solve this problem?

I'm inserting from TempAccrual to VacationAccrual . It works nicely, however if I run this script again it will insert the same values again in VacationAccrual. How do I block that? IF there is a small change in one of the column in TempAccrual then allow insert. Here is my query
INSERT INTO vacationaccrual
(empno,
accrued_vacation,
accrued_sick_effective_date,
accrued_sick,
import_date)
[Code] ....
For reasons that are not relevant (though I explain them below *), Iwant, for all my users whatever privelige level, an SP which createsand inserts into a temporary table and then another SP which reads anddrops the same temporary table.My users are not able to create dbo tables (eg dbo.tblTest), but arepermitted to create tables under their own user (eg MyUser.tblTest). Ihave found that I can achieve my aim by using code like this . . .SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstIDDATETIME)'EXEC (@SQL)SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())'EXEC (@SQL)This becomes exceptionally cumbersome for the complex INSERT & SELECTcode. I'm looking for a simpler way.Simplified down, I am looking for something like this . . .CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestInsert ASCREATE TABLE tblTest(tstID DATETIME)INSERT INTO tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())GOCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestSelect ASSELECT * FROM tblTestDROP TABLE tblTestIn the above example, if the SPs are owned by dbo (as above), CREATETABLE & DROP TABLE use MyUser.tblTest while INSERT & SELECT usedbo.tblTest.If the SPs are owned by the user (eg MyUser.TestInsert), it workscorrectly (MyUser.tblTest is used throughout) but I would have to havea pair of SPs for each user.* I have MS Access ADP front end linked to a SQL Server database. Forreports with complex datasets, it times out. Therefore it suit mypurposes to create a temporary table first and then to open the reportbased on that temporary table.

The following dbo.Tables of Northwind.mdf in my .SQLEXPRESS (SQL Server Management Studio Express) are missing:
dbo.Categories
dbo.CustomerCustomerDemo
dbo.CustomerDemographics
dbo.Customers
dbo.Employees
dbo.EmployeeTerritories
dbo.Order Details
dbo.Orders
dbo.Products
dbo.Regions
dbo.Shippers
dbo.Suppliers
dbo.Territories.
But, I have these dbo.Tables in a different Database "xyzDatabase". How can I copy each of these dbo.Tables to the another blank dbo.Table of Northwind Database?
I right clicked on the dbo.Categories and I saw the following thing:
dbo.Categories
New Table...
Modify
Open Table
Script Table as |> CREATYE To |>
DROP To |>
SELECT To |>
INSERT To |> New Query Editor Window
File....
Clipboard
UPDATE To |>
DELETE to |>
From the above observation,I think it is possible to copy the dbo.Table from the one Database to the Northwind Database that needs to be repaired. Please help and advise me how to do this task or tell me where I can find the Microsoft document that gives the details of this X-copy thing.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang
P. S. I am using VB 2005 Express to create a project to learn "Calling Stored Procedures with ADO.NET" (see Paul Kimmel's article in http://www.developer.com/db/article.php/3438221) that needs the dbo.Tables of Northwind Database and my Northwind Database has been screwed up for quite a while and needs a big repair.
which is more efficient...which takes less memory...how is the memory allocation done for both the types.

Using sqlServer management studio 2005
My Tables are something like this:
--Table 1 "Employee"
CREATE TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee](
[EmployeeGID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[BranchFID] [int] NOT NULL,
[FirstName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[MiddleName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[LastName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Employee] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[EmployeeGID]
)
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee]
WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Employee_BranchFID]
FOREIGN KEY([BranchFID])
REFERENCES [myCompany].[Branch] ([BranchGID])
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Employee] CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Employee_BranchFID]
-- Table 2 "Branch"
CREATE TABLE [Mycompany].[Branch](
[BranchGID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[BranchName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[City] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[ManagerFID] [int] NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Branch] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[BranchGID]
)
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Branch]
WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Branch_ManagerFID]
FOREIGN KEY([ManagerFID])
REFERENCES [MyCompany].[Employee] ([EmployeeGID])
GO
ALTER TABLE [MyCompany].[Branch]
CHECK CONSTRAINT [FK_Branch_ManagerFID]
--Foreign IDs = FID
--generated IDs = GID
Then I try a simple single row DELETE
DELETE FROM MyCompany.Employee
WHERE EmployeeGID= 39
Well this might look like a very basic error:
I get this Error after trying to delete something from Table €œEmployee€?
The DELETE statement conflicted with the
REFERENCE constraint "FK_Branch_ManagerFID".
The conflict occurred in database "MyDatabase",
table "myCompany.Branch", column 'ManagerFID'.
Yes what I€™ve been doing is to deactivate the foreign key constraint, in both tables when performing these kinds of operations, same thing if I try to delete a €œBranch€? entry, basically each entry in €œbranch€? and €œEmployee€? is child of each other which makes things more complicated.
My question is, is there a simple way to overcome this obstacle without having to deactivate the foreign key constraints every time or a good way to prevent this from happening in the first place? Is this when I have to use €œON DELETE CASCADE€? or something?
Thanks
In a table-valued UDF, does the UDF use a table variable or a temp table to form the resultset returned?

I have a column defined as smalldatetime. Default length (4), and "allow NULLS" is checked.In the Enterprise Manager UI, when i enter data into that table row, if i just tab past that column, all is well, and the value is represented in the UI as <NULL>.The problem comes once i ever enter a date into that column. Say i have entered a date (all is well), and now i want to remove that entry and go back to NULL (after the date value has been committed, different entry session, say).How is that done?It seems to me, once a date has ever been entered into that column, now, if i try to remove it, i get the error "The value you entered is not consistant with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit". I have tried deleting the value, entering spaces, entering the string NULL or the string <NULL>; maybe some other tries as well, but none works, i always get that error message and am not allowed to proceed past that cell until i restore a date value to it. I want to get back to <NULL>.Anybody know?Thank you.Tom

I keep getting this error when trying to generate a snapshot for transact replication.
Here is the publishing table schema:

I tried the following:
#1)Create table schema at the subscriber manually, and change package to Keep object as is. Got the same error during snapshot.
#2Filtered replication to NOT include XML column. This worked, and no error was generated, replication was up and running.
So my question is, what is the problem with XML column being replicated?
Any ideas how i can make this work? At this point i'm not sure what the problem is with the xml column, but it seems like ti tries to run schema script, but i'm not asking it to create the schema i already did it myself. Thanks!
