View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table called 'Articles' whose columns are articleId (int), authorName (varchar) and article (binary). The primary key is articleId. I tried using DTS wizard available in Enterprise Manager 2000, to import the data from this table into a remote database table, but the data copy failed. I am thinking the binary column is causing the DTS data copy to fail.
If someone could tell me what else I could do to transfer binary data to remote database(like an example of a data transfer query), then that would help me greatly.
Hi,
I need to write a script that will be called during the database upgrade of my application. This is part of reorg of the tables. The script has to get data for say 4 columns from table A and insert it into another table B. Table B has identity insert column and remaining 4 columns matching the ones to be copied. The data is dependent on user database, hence number of records needs to be copied might be different. Also the columns can have null values.
I tried using bcp Command as follows..
bcp "select colA,colB,colC,colD from A" queryout "c: empA.dat" -t" " -r"" -c
I'm able to get the dat file, but not the format file. Can anyone tell me how to get it using query file with -c option. Also if there is better option to copy data, kindly let me know.
This is very critical. Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ramya.

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.

My plan is, once I move or copy the data to the new table, I will then drop the original table, rename new table to the original, create the indexes and FKs. What do you think would be the best way to move the data to the new table?
On the OLE DB Source, I have as following:
select field1, field2, field3 from table_source
On the OLE DB Destination, I used fast load option with table lock checked, and check constraints to copy data to table_destination. Both table_source and table_destination have the same table definitions. After the dtsx package ran, the number of rows copy over to the destination is not same. I got different results from different runs. This only happens when the source table is over 1 million rows and when I'm copying from the transaction database where user's activities are heavy.
Any ideas how I can modify the package so it can copy correct data? Thanks!
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
This is probably a dumb question.. but here goes.
I'd like to make a copy of several tables before changes are made to them so that I can 'roll back' if necessary.
What I 'thought' i could to was this:
select * into mytable_temp from mytable
and then to roll back..
truncate table mytable
Select * into mytable from mytable_temp
When I try and select back into my original table, it says I can't because the object already exists.. What is a better way to accomplish this????
Let's say, I have Table1 and Table2, both with the exactly samestructure and data in it, except that Table1.Field1 is empty in databut Table2.Field1 have data in it.How could I copy all the data from Table2.Field1 to Table1.Field1?Is there any simpler way except looping through all the records to doit?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am working on a migration project.
Doing the standard processing, taking source data in a staging database, where I then create the new target tables, transform the source data into the new target table structure, and load the data.
However, having created the new target tables in my staging database, I cannot accurately migrate these tables into the new database.
An example table.
The following is the script created by SQL Management Studio if I right click and script the table as CREATE.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tbPRO_Package]( [PRO_PackageID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [CreatedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbPRO_Package_CreatedDate] DEFAULT (getdate()), [CreatedBy] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbPRO_Package_CreatedBy] DEFAULT (suser_sname()), [ModifiedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbPRO_Package_ModifiedDate] DEFAULT (getdate()), [ModifiedBy] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbPRO_Package_ModifiedBy] DEFAULT (suser_sname()), [GUID] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbPRO_Package_GUID] DEFAULT (newid()), CONSTRAINT [PK_tbPackage_ID] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [PRO_PackageID] ASC)WITH (IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY]
Note that the field PRO_PackageID has an identity, and is a primary key.
Also note the constraints on several fields and the default values.
If I try to move this table and data using the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard, telling it to drop and create the table, and to keep identity, it does not correctly generate the table defintion - it generates the following script
CREATE TABLE [Migration Staging].[dbo].[tbPRO_Package] ([PRO_PackageID] int NOT NULL,[PackageCode] varchar(8) NOT NULL,[LKU_VatRateCode] nchar(10),[CancellationCharge] decimal(18,2),[CancellationMultiplier] decimal(18,2),[CreatedDate] datetime NOT NULL,[CreatedBy] varchar(50) NOT NULL,[ModifiedDate] datetime NOT NULL,[ModifiedBy] varchar(50) NOT NULL,[GUID] uniqueidentifier NOT NULL)
We've lost the identity, the PK,the constraints and the defaults.
If I use the SSIS Transfer SQL Server Objects Task, then the primary key is kept, but the identity is not, nor are the constraints or defaults.
Am I missing something? Is it actually POSSIBLE to accurately move tables between databases?
I have different versions of essentially the same database on two different computers. From Computer B I need to copy one table AND its data to Computer A.
I've read several articles and have tried several things but can't figure out how to do it. Incidentally, I'm running SQL Server Express 2005 on both machines.

Hi,
I was wondering if you can help.
In my vb.net form I am running a query to insert data from one database table to another.
However what I need to do is to be able is to add the id of a record I have just created to this insert into sql command.
I have managed to use @@ identity to get the id of my first sql insert statement
but I am wondering how I can use it in the second insert into and select statement. At the moment my sql statement just copies exactly what is in the select statement. I can't figure out how to add the @@identity value to my second sql statement.
My second sql statement is a follows:
sql2 = "INSERT INTO ProjectDeliveData(ProjId,ProjDeliveId,RoleId,MeasurementId,ProjDeliveValue, ProjDeliveComments,ProjDeliveYear,FinDataTypeId, FinFileId, ProjDeliveMonthFrom, ResourceId,ProjDeliveDateAdded)" & " select ProjId,ProjDeliveId,RoleId,MeasurementId,ProjDeliveValue, ProjDeliveComments,ProjDeliveYear,FinDataTypeId, FinFileId, ProjDeliveMonthFrom, ResourceId,ProjDeliveDateAdded from ProjectDeliveData where FinFileId=" & strActualFileId
I hope you can help
Cheers

Hi,
I've a column col1 of image data type in table1. I would like to copy the data from col1 to another image column col2 in table2. Before moving the value, checking has to be done to specify which col1 data from table1 is needed and the destination has to be checked too.
Example: insert into col2
(select col1 from table1 where table1_id =5)
where table2_id =6
Hence bcp wouldn't work. Can anyone suggest me a way to do it. I tried using writetext but then, i've to get data from col1 in a variable, which is not possible. Any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.

I get this every month. What can I do to make sure only unique record are loaded into production table with no duplicate from previous month.
Hi all, I am not over familiar with SQL, I am a VB programmer, simply I need to achieve the following within Enterprise Manager.
I have 2 tables, different designs, different number of rows, I simply need to check whether the contents of a column in the first table is in a column in the second table, just simply a table/column to table/column data check for the same data content.
Easy Peasy for you guys, any help would be appreciated.
I have a database that I have been creating and testing. I have added some junk data and some data into lookup tables. Is there a way to create a clean copy of the db and keep the lookup table data? Also will I be able to create the db under a new name?
