Copy A Database In SQL Server 2005
May 9, 2008
Hello all,
I need to copy a database from our production server to my local development machine.
This was easy in SQL 2000, but I'm stumped for SQL 2005. In order to use Management Studio's Database/Tasks/Copy Database feature, I must have SysAdmin rights on not only my local machine, but also on the production server machine. Because there are other important databases on that machine, they won't give me sa rights on the entire production machine.
Someone suggested a two step process:
1. I first script the database
2. Then I use Import/Export Wizard to copy the data.
For scripting, I see that in Management Studio, I can use either Database/Script As, or, I can use Database/Tasks/Generate Scripts. Which is more appropriate? They seem to be very different.
Copying a database seems like a common need. How do other members here do it?
Thanks.
Any thoughts or ideas will be appreciated.

Hi dear devs, admins or users!
Two weeks ago I had a problem with transfering databases from v8 to v9, I placed the question here (original message attached), but I received not the answer which I need. I try to transfer databases with the CDW ("Copy Database Wizard"), which should run through 5 action steps. The process stops after the 'action 2', the step "Create Package" failed allways. The error message which I receive is "Library not registered". I was very surprised, because two weeks ago the process stoped after the action 4 (4/5) while the step "Execute SQL Server Agent Job". I changed nothing on my system or databases. The only thing I can remember is the "Microsoft Update" downloaded and installed a new patch, but it wasn't a SQL Server 2005 update or something with databases.
I have now two questions. What means the error "Library not registered" while the CDW process and what could be the reason for the error in 'action 5' "Execute SQL Server Agent Job" while the CDW process? **(CDW = "Copy Database Wizard")
[original message from 2006-10-17]
I have following problem with the "SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition". I am in a small network and try to copy a database from a version 8.0 to a version 9.0 "SQL Server" (2 computers). I use the "Copy Database Wizard" and the process did 4 from 5 actions correctly, the last action with the name "Execute SQL Server Agent Job" fails allways. My "SQL Server Agent" process is started and runs well. In real I don't need the "SQL Server Agent" in any way in my database, so I don't understand why this process generates this error. I try to copy this old "Portal" "ASP.NET 1.1" database to my new "SQL Server 2005". Can someone help me?
Thanks

I just upgraded to SQLServer 2005 Standard. I do development in adatabase on one server. When a solution is completely tested, I moveit to the operational database on a different server. With SQLServer2000, I could just open the .adp file and do File->Get ExternalData->Import to move the objects. That does not work with 2005.What is the recommended method for moving objects from one database toanother? Obviously, the objects that changed will not be the sameevery time.Thanks!Jer

Hi guys,
I am trying to copy an entire SQL SERVER 2000 Database from the SERVER to any place in my laptop in order to run some tests without being connected to the net and the real DB.
I am using the "Copy Database" function in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, but getting the Error described below:
I will appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance,
Aldo.

Ok, here is my dilemma
I have an application that has many sites. Each site has it's own database. The databases have common tables (ie the name and fields are the same) What I want to be able to do is when creating a new database, I want to be able to copy certain common table data from one database to another. I have run into an error because the table have an IDENTITY so this is not working
INSERT INTO Containers SELECT * FROM ADMS2_Indian_Point.dbo.Containers
I also tried
USE ADMS2_RSCS
GO
SET IDENTITY_INSERT Containers ON
GO
INSERT INTO Containers SELECT * FROM ADMS2_Indian_Point.dbo.Containers
GO
SET IDENTITY_INSERT Containers OFF
GO
I got an error saying that I need to have a column list. I am trying to use this for any tables, so my question is this..
Is there any way to get around using a column list or is there a way to dynamically create the column list?
Or, Is there a better way that I should be doing this?
Please keep in mind I am not a dba and everything I have learned about SQL is from my good pal Google :)
Thanks for any help

I'm using SQL Server Management Studio Express and I'm trying to figure out how to copy a table(s) from my local database to my web hosting database. I know how to do it in 2000, but it's completely different now. Is this feature not allowed on SSMSE? If so, then how do I deploy database tables to a web host?Also, how do you add local database(s) to SSMSE? I tried to use 'attach database' in SSMSE and it wouldn't allow me to navigate to My Documents folder where the database resides. Thanks...

Hi;I thought I would rephrase a question I asked in another post to morequickly get to the heart of the matter. My apologies for anyone whois offended by what appears to be a repetition.My company has two identical web sites. One copy is for our customer,and one copy is for us to test our code changes on.We developed a hard to isolate bug in the copy of the web stie for ourcustomers.We believe the bug might be data related.We would like to replace our test database with our productiondatabase to try to reproduce the problem without interrupting ourservice to our customers.The test database and production database have all the same tables andstructures,but the names of the databases are slightly different.We have tried dropping tables from our test database and importingtables from our customer database in Management Studio. We got thedata but the identity fields were turned off as identities. We canmanually turn them back on in Management Studio, but we have severalhundred tables.In the end we just want to the data from our customer db to be in ourtest db with the test db name being the same, and have our identityfields preserved.What is the easiest way to do this?Thanks in advance for anyinformationSteve

When I use the "Copy Database Wizard" everything works fine, but the "Identity Specification" is changed in the new database.
Source database (original):
Column Name = HTML_ID
Data Type = int
Identity Specification = Yes
Is Identity = Yes
Identity Increment = 1
Identity Seed = 1
Destination database (copy):
Column Name = HTML_ID
Data Type = int
Identity Specification = No
Is Identity = No
Identity Increment =
Identity Seed =
Why? Is this a feature or a bug?

Hello All:
I'm new to this forum and new to the upgrade process for SQL2K5. I would like to get this upgrade moving. However, I running into a few problems. Right now I am attempting to use the Copy Database Wizard. SQL2K5 and SQL2K are installed on different servers.
I made a copy of the tables for the database I am converting and this is the one I am trying to copy over.
The process runs fine until it gets to the SQL Server Agent Job. It fails on this step and prompts to check the event log.
Does anyone know what might cause this?
Right now I'm looking for the easiest solution to test the data. Is the copy database wizard the best approach? Can anyone recommend another one? Maybe backup/restore.
I used export from SQL2K to SQL2K5 and that worked, but it brought over the dbo prefixes.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Or at least a shove in the right direction.
Thanks,
Cleech

I have database diagrams in my original db which was built with Management Studio. I now have scripts to build the database from scratch, but my diagrams are left behind, back in the original db. Is there any way to copy the original diagrams into the new db? I know in SS2000 the diagrams were in the dtproperties table; any idea where they are in SS2005?

I have a SQL Server 2005 evaluation that has already been installed and setup on a server. I believe it originally had a 180 day eval. There have been numerous databases and users added as well as maintenance plan created...
The eval was put on the machine as an interim solution while waiting for paper work and order processiing things to happen. All the paperwork and ordering... have been completed and I now have the real SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition license key ....
I am very new to SQL Server and need to determine ...
1. Can I update the eval copy to become permanently licensed?
2. Would I want to upgrade the eval to permanent? Will I lose any capabilities by keeping the current eval setup?
If it is reasonable to keep the eval setup
3. How do I go about entering the license key to make it permanent?
If it is necessary to install the new Standard Edition...
4. How do I install it while maintaining the already defined databases, data, users, maintenance plan...
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

I have an application which stores records on a local SQL Express and I need to move the records to a SQL 2000 database. I have the SQL 2000 server linked in the Express Management Console (under Linked Servers). I'm trying to use a stored procedure to accomplish this, but get an error "Invalid object name 'ngtxa4-rsmsz-01.newpurchase.tblRequest'." Express uses a table named tblTRequest in the TempPurchase database, while 2000 uses a table named tblRequest in a NewPurchase database. Here is the stored procedure I'm using:
USE [tempPurchase]
GO
/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[InsertRequestToMain] Script Date: 07/09/2007 08:54:56 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[InsertRequestToMain]
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO [ngtxa4-rsmsz-01].newpurchase.tblRequest
(fldRequestDate, fldRequiredBy, fldUserID, fldWorkAreaID, fldVendorID, fldClassID, fldEstimate, fldMemo, fldStatusID, fldStatusDate, fldSystemID,
fldtmpRequestID, fldUpdateCode)
SELECT fldRequestDate, fldRequiredBy, fldUserID, fldWorkAreaID, fldVendorID, fldClassID, fldEstimate, fldMemo, fldStatusID, fldStatusDate, fldSystemID,
tmpRequestID, UpdateCode
FROM tblTRequest
WHERE (fldHold = 0)
END
Any assistance with this would greatly be helpful. Thank you.

I have a sql 2005 express database uploaded to my website with important information in it.
Now, I had to make some table change and need to update the online database.
I am not sure if the 'Copy Website' function in Visual Studio 2005 will update the database structure and data or will simply overwrite it.
Does anybody know the answer? If it overwrites it, would you please point me to information on how can I update the database structure and data without ruining it?
Thanks.

Hi,
I set up DB mirror between a primary (SQL1) and a mirror (SQL2); no witness. I have a problem when I issue command:
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
The error message is:
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy of the database log.
I have the steps below prior to the command. (Note that both servers' service accounts use the same domain account. The domain account I login to do db mirror setup is a member of the local admin group.)
1. backup database DBmirrorTest on SQL1
2. backup database log
3. copy db and log backup files to SQL2
4. restore db with norecovery
5. restore log with norecovery
6. create endpoints on both SQL1 and SQL2
CREATE ENDPOINT [Mirroring]
STATE=STARTED
AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT = 5022, LISTENER_IP = ALL)
FOR DATA_MIRRORING (ROLE = PARTNER)
7. enable mirror on mirror server SQL2
:connect SQL2
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL1.mycom.com:5022';
go
8. Enable mirror on primary server SQL1
:connect SQL1
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
This is where I got the error.
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy
Thanks for any help,

Hi:
I have a MSSQL 2005 database in current server, since we are going to shift to another server, I need to copy the database to the new server for testing.
Can you please let me know what is the best way to do that? I have tried to use detach and attach, or "back up the database and then restore on the other server.", but seems not working for me. I want step by step instruction since I am pretty new for the DB migration.

Hi,
This should be a relatively simple question (and answer !) :-)
I would like to copy a database from one server to another and have created a backup file of the database in question and copied it to the new server. I then restored the database, no problem.
When I try to create a standard SQL user called 'DBTest' (which was on the original server and had dbo priviledges to the database) it works but as soon as I try to permission this user to the newly restored database I get the error:
"Error 15023: User or role 'DBTest' already exists in the current database"
The user DBTest does not exist in my newly restored database but does exist in the publi role in that database. I am not allowed to delete this user from the public role (option greyed out). Help !!!
Thanks,
TimH

Hi all,
I am trying to fly by the seat of my pants here in my current job. I have been labored with the job of Database Admin and I am trying to copy a whole database from one of our main servers (SQL Server 2000) to one of the salesmen's laptops (SQL Server 2000 personal edition) to do demos of our new product. The current size of the database is about 50mb but I can't seem to copy it over without getting lots of errors. I have tried using Enterprise Manager's built-in tools for transfering database or import/export, even DTS and everything gives errors.
Could someone post an easy to follow, step-by-step guide to copying a database from one server to another?
Thanks in advance,

Hello.
I am fairly new to SQL Server. I have a hosted sql server with unlimited licensing and database has been created on it from outsourced vendor.
I need to create a duplicate database, on same server, different directory, with a different name for development and testing.
I have been told to simply to a backup and restore with MOVE, however in my research I have come across things to be aware of and even errors. I am a newbie dba for small company and I do not want to take chances ruining their current database.
Does anyone have any directions-specific advice?
Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I'm new to SQL Server (I've worked with MS Access for several years but am now ready to step up to the next level).
I'm working with SQL Server 2000 - I have a copy of Developers Edition on my XP Pro computer at home and work mostly with shared web hosting accounts that have SQL Server 2000 available on them.
I recently received a database backup file from a client, which I was able to restore using the Query Analyzer and RESTORE. I now have to 'move/export/upload' this database to a shared web hosting account - I've created a 'blank' database on the web server (same name as restored database) and have a username and password.
This is where I'm stuck - how do I get this restored database on my local machine to a web server? Do I do this via the Query Analyzer or some other type of wizard? (I'm not even sure how to 'connect' to the web server database.)
I'm sure I'm not providing enough background, but any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Paul
