We have SQL Enterprise Manager (8.0). Is there any way to Copy a Table from one database to another with only the Structure (design) - not all the Data?
I can't find any option in the Import Data Wizard that only copies the Table structure.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
hi
how can i copy a table structure from a database to another(without bakup)?
Hi,
In SQL Server, Is there any DDL available to copy a table structure alone and not the data,
I believe 'SELECT * into new_table from table1' will copy both structure and data as well.
Please advice,
Thanks,

I have been working on my windows app, using SQL Server 2005 (& C#) but I now have loads of junk data, so I want to copy the structure without any data to a new set of files that can become the production version.
I assume I can use backup and restore in future when I want a copy of my production data to use for future testing.
How would I take just one table from my test database and add it to my production database without retyping the design?
Apart from the size limitation is there any advantage in buying a version of SQL Server over using the Express edition?
I'm looking to create a new version of a database but with completely reloaded data - so I want to retain the database structure but none of the data.
Is there an easy way (read: without a DBA on staff) to copy an existing database structure - preferably with views and stored procedures - and not take the data along for the ride?
Thanks in advance for suggestions...!
How does one generate Transact-SQL for table structure in SQL server express 2005?
I have very limited access to an SQL server database (using rudimentary web based interface) for my hosted website. I am ready to deploy an application that was developed with Visual Studio 2005 using SQL server express as the database. I have four tables that I want to copy (structure only) from "express" to the hosted SQL server. I think I need to generate Transact-SQL statements to "create" the table structure, then run these statements as a stored procedure on the web based SQL server. I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to generate the code from SQL express 2005. Anyone had any experience with this?
thanks.
Hello Room,
M stuck with an issue with SQL Query. My requirement is to create a temporary table with the out put of "SELECT" Clause..........
Like.......
SELECT NC_ID, AUD_PLAN_ID, AUD_CLAUSE_ID FROM AUD_NC
This is my "Select" Query and all I want is to store the out put in a #table. Now one way is to craete #tmp_table with the fields same as the out put column of the "SELECT" Clause......... But I want it in direct fashion.... dat means without Creating the #tmp_table directly...........
I tried with "CREATE TBALE #tmp_table AS SELECT NC_ID, AUD_PLAN_ID, AUD_CLAUSE_ID FROM AUD_NC".......... But it dini work
Please help me out in this regard......
Is there a way to copy the structure from one database to anotherwithout affecting the actual data?For example, I added new fields and stored procedures to a db in mydevelopment environment. There are a lot of them.I now want to make the same changes to my production environment db butdon't want to affect the data. Only the fields, stored procs &constraints and stuff pertaining to the structure of the db should bechanged.Does anyone know of a program that can do this or can this be done inMS SQL Enterprise Manager.Any help would be appreciated.7078895

Hello everyone,
I have a local MSSQL server (I guess it's called MSDE), with some tables that I would like to use as a template for a set of new tables. I would simply like a Stored Procedure that takes these 3 tables, makes a copy of their structure (not data, since they will be empty), and name them by using a parameter given to the SP. I have made something that I thought would work, but after testing it a bit more, it seems to forget default values for the fields, which is of course not good enough :). I hope that someone can tell me how to duplicate these 3 tables, including every detail for the fields!
Below is my table structure. And I am inserting data from other temp table.
CREATE TABLE #revf (
[Cusip] [VARCHAR](50) NULL, [sponfID] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, GroupSeries [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [tran] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [AddDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [SetDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [PoolNumber] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Aggregate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Price] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [NetAmount] [VARCHAR](max) NULL,
[Code] ....
Now in a next step I am deleting the records from #revf table. Please see the delete code below
DELETE
FROM #revf
WHERE fi_gnmaid IN (
SELECT DISTINCT r2.fi_gnmaid
FROM #revf r1, #revf r2
[Code] ...
I don't want to create this #rev table so that i can avoid the delete statement. But data should not affect. Can i rewrite the above as below:
SELECT [Cusip], [sponfID], GroupSeries, [tran], [AddDate], [SetDate], [PoolNumber], [Aggregate], [Price], [NetAmount], [Interest],
[Coupon], [TradeDate], [ReversalDate], [Description], [ImportDate], MAX([fi_gnmaid]) AS Fi_GNMAID, accounttype, [IgnoreFlag], [IgnoreReason], IncludeReversals, DatasetID, [DeloitteTaxComments], [ReconciliationID],
[Code] ....
If my above statement is wrong . Where i can improve here? And actually i am getting 4 rows difference.
I have a table that looks like this:
ID Type
123 Phone
123 Meeting
123 Phone
and I would like the data to look like this
ID phone Meeting
123 2 1
How do I do this?
In order to export data to a 3rd party provider, I build five separate tables to store the data. Every table has a different layout, except for the first four columns. They are record type, SSN, employee id and another id number.
Basically, I have to sort that data by SSN then by record type. Each employee will have multiple records.
However, that data will need to be "merged" into one table to be exported.
I have created a table that defines the first four columns, but then has one large "filler" field that will contain the rest of the data. How can I copy data from five different tables with five different layouts into one table?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve Hanzelman

I have a large fact table spread across tens of partitions (appx. 1TB each). I found that the business does not need much of the columns in the table. So, as an optimization action, I decided to get rid of these un-needed columns.What is the efficient way to achieve this? Can I simply drop these columns from the table, or use a new table with the reduced structure?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed SQLEXPRESS on XP Prof. It is working fine. I want to know if there is a way to copy a table structure so I could create clones. I need about 300 tables with identical structure but different name for each one.
Also I am wondering if there is a way to ADD a table to SQL database. It is kind of a long shot but I will try to explain. I have about 200 tables in old Visual dBase format (v7.1). I would like to convert them to SQL Server tables. I found a company that offers an app that converts them to MySQL. I tried and it kind of works. I could open the output file in SQL Server but it is not a table but a kind of csv file with INSERT commands. I had to run it. So far it did not compile but in the future if those bugs (in their app) could be corrected I may end up with a single table which I may want to include in one of my databases. Is it possible?
Thanks.

Hello. I want to ask about the possibility of copying both a tablestructure and it's contents from aSQL server table to a table within MS access. The problem cannot besolve with a permanent table structure at the target location.The names of the columns are essentially data with the application andso are subject to change. I am targeting a solution using SQL QueryManager.The approach I have tried (with failure) isSELECT *INTO <linkedserver table>FROM <local table>This should create and copy. However, I am not sure if this isachievable with this approach.Refer to the dialogue;-------------------------------------------------------USE MASTERGOEXEC sp_addlinkedserver@SERVER = 'Freddie',@PROVIDER = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',@SRVPRODUCT = 'OLE DB Provider for Jet',@DATASRC = 'C: empHMIS_Recipe.mdb'-- I am not sure if this is requiredEXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'Freddie', false, 'sa', 'Admin', NULLSELECT * FROM Freddie...FRED -- This is OKSELECT * INTO #Temp FROM Freddie...FRED -- This is OK-- This fails - Refer errorSELECT * INTO Freddie.FRED65from #tempServer: Msg 2760, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Specified owner name 'Freddie' either does not exist or you do not havepermission to use it.-- This also fails and I thought reflected the above select with naming- Refer errorSELECT * INTO Freddie...FRED65from #tempServer: Msg 117, Level 15, State 1, Line 2The object name 'Freddie...' contains more than the maximum number ofprefixes.

Is there anyway to copy an entire database structure (layout of column definitions and character formatting)?
Or do I have to delete the relationship, then the child first?
For testing purposes, if I screw one up, I would like to be able to start with another copy.

Hi all,
I want to copy a production database schema to an archiving database, only
the structure : tables, views, defaults, rules,UDTs. For achieving that
I am trying to use SQL/DMO functions, "CopyAllTables" for example. My script works with no error but unfortunately the destination database
contains no objects. Why, have I missed something ?
Does anyone know how to do that?
Many thanks for your help

I have two identical table structure with at least 60 or more columns!!
Table A
ID numeric(18, 0) Primary Key,
RefID numeric(18, 0),
CoNum Varchar(15),
PrevCode Varchar(15),
DispCode VArchar(15),
EffDate Date,
Sal numeric(18, 0),
SDeposit numeric(18, 0) Etc....
I need to compare Data between two table and provide result like this!
RefId ID, CoNum, PrevCode, DispCode, EffDate, Sal, SDeposit
1, ,No Match, ,20,5200,0
So condition like. If table A Column Data does not Equal Table B Column data then
If datatype is Date then display Difference of Days.
if Datatype is Numeric then display Difference between value.( it display 0 if doesn't have difference)
if Datatype is Varchar then display No Match word.
Hello, can anyone tell me if it is possible to conditionally join tables? If so, how could it be done?
What I would like to do is create a query similar to the one below but include the rows in the Asset table where the corresponding Alert field is NULL.
SELECT A.AssetId, A.IndustryId, A.RegionId, A.RevenueId, AL.AlertId
FROM Alerts AS AL INNER JOIN
Assets AS A ON AL.IndustryId = A.IndustryId AND AL.RegionId = A.RegionId AND AL.RevenueId = A.RevenueId
WHERE AlertId = 1
The output I am after would be the first row in the Assets table. But since the RevenueId column is NULL, I get nothing. The only time the above query will work is if all three Id columns are populated. That is not always going to be the case. Please don't suggest changing table structures or adding data. That is not an option.
Below are the table structures and sample data.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Alerts](

My plan was to use import/export wizard to move the data over to the new table, while set to Bulk Log recovery, drop the original table, then create the indexes/constraints on the new one.
With this much data, I'm wondering what else I should do.
Anyone have a better idea? What am I missing?
There are some data in a table with TypeID=23 and I need copy all rows with TypeID=23 to the same table, I mean append at the end, and make the copied rows TypeId=24 for some tests purpose.
