I have recently moved from a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 to a SQL Server
2005.
In the good old Enterprise Manager, when I imported a table from a SQL
server to another, I could choose "Copy objects and data between SQL
Server
databases". When choosen, all primary keys, and default values was
copied.
My question is:
Is it possible to do the same in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
with
SQL Server 2005? And how do I do it?
I have tried using the "SELECT * INTO NewTable FROM OldTable"
statement, but
it just drops all information about primary keys and default values.
I want to migrate from one machine to another is it wise to use SSIS "Copy Objects and Data Between SQL Servers" task to accomplish this....migration both data and metadata (in master,model,and msdb ) databases?
Copy objects and data between SQL Server databases " Display the Select Objects to Transfer dialog box, where you can specify both objects and data to copy, if both the data source and destination are Microsoft® SQL Server™ databases. The objects you can transfer include tables, views, stored procedures, defaults, rules, constraints, user-defined data types, logins, users, roles, and indexes. You can transfer objects only between multiple instances of SQL Server version 7.0, from an instance of SQL Server 7.0 to an instance of SQL Server 2000, and between multiple instances of SQL Server 2000. "
can I apply "Copy objects and data between SQL Server databases" to run in two different sqlserver 2000 ( not an instance ) . what I mean is I have two different sql servers located in two different locations( I am not using an instance installation) can I still run the copy and get an identical database in both servers. Q2. if I have two sql server 2000 with different collations (one is binary and the other is the default) will I be able to run the copy wizard and still have an identical copy of sql server in both servers.
I personally tried to run the copy wizard and IT NEVER WORKED FOR ME and I really do not know the reason.
I have not used the copy objects wizard that much. I used it today to copy 4views from my dev box to production. It copied the views, but also wiped outmy data in all the tables that the views are built around!!! Inproduction!!!!Can someone provide me some insight into why this happened?Thanks,Chad
I transferred objects of one to the other database from a development server to a production server using Database / Object Transfer tool in SQL Server 6.5. I found some of stored procedures and views didn’t go from the development server to the production server. I am wondering if there is a bug in SQL Server 6.5 (with SP5a) or I did something wrong.
Does someone know what is this problem?
Thanks in advanced,

Transferring objects between sql servers having db created using different usernames :
We have a local sql2000 db created using username abc, and another SQL2000db at a remote location where we have hosted our database. In our remotelocation the db username is ourdomain. How do we transfer all objects from local db created using username abc to remote db created using ourdomain.? Is it possible to exclude usernames while transferring objects between sql servers?? Please help
how can i copy a data base created in sql server2000 to another server (sqlserver2000)without replication because they're distant and not connected i have tried the DTS but it does'nt copy stored proc ,views,triggers,diagram,... help please
I’m trying to create a DTS Package to copy my sql Server objects to a test Server. The server I’m copying from is UMTS1 and the server I’m copying to is UMTSDEV. The database name is ProgramSpecs and exists on bother servers. My login is assigned to all server roles on both servers. I have created databases on both servers manually so I’m pretty sure I have all the necessary permissions. I’m using the DTS task ‘Copy Sql Server Objects’ to copy sql server objects and have selected “Drop Destination objects first”.
When I try to execute the package I get the following error: Error source: MS SQL DMO Error Description: Invalid OLEVERB Structure [SQL DMO] create file error or UMTS1.ProgramSpecs.LOG
passing serialised objects to a stored procedure for the purpose of data inserts. I see this as being a way to handle multiple row inserts efficiently.
However, in my limited use of XML data I am not so sure how to link the data when I have a dependency on another "object" within the serialised XML.
Below is a code snippet showing what I have so far.
The first insert statement works fine - but how to retrieve the identifier created by the DB - I want to use an SQL statement that finds the record in the table based on the XML representation (of the PluginInfo), allowing me to insert the ConfigurationInfo with the correct reference to the PluginInfo
DECLARE @Config NVARCHAR(MAX) DECLARE @Handle AS INT DECLARE @TransactionCount AS INT SELECT @Config = ' <ConfigurationDirectory > <ConfigurationInfo groupKey="Notifications" sectionKey="App.Customization.PluginInfo"
My goal is need to synch couple of tables in QA and Prod. I used "Copy SQL Server Objects Task" in DTS package with copy option "replace existing data". It is trying to truncate and insert new data. But BOL is says "Overwrite existing data in the destination objects with the new data from the specified source". Let me know your thought about this.
I have an application that I wrote that is running in the local office and a remote office. The two offices are connected via a hardware VPN. The connection in the remote office is wireless and can give speeds down to 40kbps.
Each office is running MSDE 2000 and runs off of a separate database with a different name. I would like to have the database from the remote office available in the local office. It doesn't have to be completely current. A 24-hour delay would be fine. Since Transaction replication is not available in MSDE, I can use either Merge or Snapshot. Since the local office wants to allow folks to access the remote office's database without allowing them to affect the remote database (query purposes only), it seems that Snapshot is the way to go.
The database in the remote office is as follows: Data File - 50MB; Log File - 5MB. I don't expect this to grow very fast.
The question I have relates to performance over this slow link. Would I be better off using Snapshot replication or just creating a DTS package and having that run on a nightly basis to copy the database?
Also, with a DTS Package, if the job fails due to the link resetting (remember it is wireless), I would have to configure retries, etc. Would Snapshot replication automatically recognize this failure and try to run again?
The problem is this: In SQL 2000 DTS there was an option for "Copy Objects and Data Between SQL Servers". However, this option has been removed in SQL 2005 SSIS. Apparently the only way to do this in SQL 2005 is to create a .DTSX package in SQL Server Business Intelligence Developement Studio or VS 2005. You do this by creating a new Integration Service Project and using the Transfer SQL Objects Task. Within the properties of this task you can select any of the options that were available in the SQL 2000 DTS export wizard. I have set up a test package that will copy a stored procedure from one db to another but I am unable to get it to work. It runs fine but the result is that the SP is not copied.
I am new to Visual Studio and I think I probably just need help in know ing how to run a package in SQL Server Management Studio. I was able to import the package into SSIS in the Management Studio and run it without errors not with the expected result (the copy of an SP from one db to another). I'm sure there are people besides me who would like to have the ability to easily perform ad hoc copies of objects between SQL servers. If anyone has any experience with using a SSIS package to do this please help. Thanks!
I'm a wee bit of a newbie concerning DTS and have inherited a db with a DTS containing a Copy SQL Server Objects task set to run nightly. Essentially, it does an informal backup of some core data.
Recently, I was notified that one of the tables it copies over is now empty on the Destination db. The DTS shows that it runs successfully with no errors logged, the table in question IS selected to be copied from the Source database, there IS data in the Source database table, and every other table in the Destination database is populated appropriately.
Any ideas on what would cause this one table to be empty without generating any errors?
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
I am sure there will be a simple answer to this but it has got me stumped.
Having to move over to Vista with my new machine so I am having to switch to 2005 version for my development but still upload to a 2000 server.
I have had a look at 2005, like the new Management Studio, however I ahve a couple of problems which I can not find the answer to.
Firstly, the SQL Query Builder, where has it gone? I often have to import/export data from Excel files and used to use the SQL query builder to create my queries. If I want to copy all columns it is fine but if I want to import select columns I find it easier to view a list and then just add the ones I want.
Am I missing something here?
Secondly, copying stored procedures, before when running DTS ther were three options, Copy Tables/Views, Data Using Query and Copy Objects.
I used the copy opbjects a lot as it was a very quick way of transfering a group of tables and stored prcoedures that I had created. This appears to have now been replaced with Copy Database, which copies everthing, can can not be used to copy from SQL2005 to SQL2000.
If I want to copy multiple stored procedures from SQL2005 to SQL2000 how is it done now? I have tried finding out but have not been sucessful.
I have a SQL2000 database that I need to copy tables from to my SQL2005 database. The table in the 2000 database are owned by a login named tsreader. This login is also in the dbo database role. So, when I access tables I have to prefix tha table name with tsreader. Currently in a SQL2000 database I have DTS packages that pull data over from this database everynight and they work fine. However when I try to do this from SSIS, I get the error "Object does not exist". My assumption is that it is trying to access the database tables as a "select * from tablea" as opposed to "select * from tsreader.tablea".
Any thoughts on how to make this work? I know I have the login correct because it is the same one I use for the SQL 2000 packages. Also, in SSIS it allows me to chose the tables I want yet I still get "Table does not exist at source" when I try and execute it.
How would I, using a sql script, copy permissions assigned to a useror a role in one or more databases to another user or a role in theirrespective databases?Help appreciated
I create a new SSIS package, drag in an Execute DTS 2000 Package Task, select and embed a DTS package which consists only one one task (as above), and then change the source & destination details (svr + user/pwd). Then when I go to the Copy tab, I get the following error when I hit Select Objects, to view the objects which the embedded DTS package should copy:
SQL-DMO error 21776: general error.
On further inspection, none of the objects selected for copy within the atomic/original DTS package, remain selected for copy within the embedded DTS package.
I have googled to search for an answer to this one, but to no avail. Any ideas would be greatly welcomed.
Challenge: Datapumping. To copy daily production data from N x 100 SQL 2k servers to one central SQL2k5 server. Sometimes copying task might demand transferring schema objects like temp tables and procedures from sql2005 to sql2000.
Since system organisation is different, what would be the best approach ?
I'm making a copy of some tanles between 2 servers.
Server 1 requires a sql login
Server 2 is using Windows Auth.
I have a user on server 1 named "odbc" able to log in.
however my copy task fails, when I drill the error, it's lists the first user in server 1 alphabetically as the failed login???? but in my dts I am specifying the "odbc" user and password.
I think I have a permissions problem on server 1. So my Question, what minimum permissions does user "odbc" need to copy a table?
On server 1 I can copy from northwind to server 2 just fine..but any other db on server 1 causes the weird failure with the wrong username.
hi, I do have over 30 scheduled jobs in one sql server in which I want to have the same jobs in another sql server. What is the best way to copy those jobs?
I thought of backing up the msdb from one sql server then restoring msdb into another sql server..... someone advice me NOT to do so due to potential compatibility problems that he did not explicitly state.
I've got two servers with sql 2005 express on, the first is a shared server at our isp, we rent one database from them. The other server is our own and we have full sa access.
Is there an easy way to copy the database from the shared server onto our own server. We're unable to use the backup.
Once a report is deployed to a specific server (server A), is there a way to "copy" it to a different server (servers B, C), without having to actually deploy it server by server?
In my case, I am trying to have the developers deploy the reports on the development server first (server A), and then manually or automatically copy them to a Preview server (server B), and later to a production server (server C). I cannot grant the developers full permissions on the production server, so a "copy" is what I'm thinking about....
Hello. I need to copy all of the rows in a table from a database on one server, to another existing table of the same name in a different database on a different server. I'm trying to use a SELECT INTO statement. Any idea how to do this?I've tried SELECT * INTO DestinationServer.dbo.DestinationDB.DestinationTableFROM SourceTable AS SourceTable_1 But this doesn't work, saying there are too many prefixes. Any idea how to do this?
I connect to remote servers using PPTP connection. There are 4 web servers and 1 production server on the other side of the firewall. From my staging server, I am supposed to archive the NT event logs(Application and system) for each of the servers.
To solve this problem, I have mapped the C drives of each of the remote servers to my local staging server. I then created a batch file, webevnt.bat containing code,
G: Cd winnt Cd system32 Cd config Copy sysevent.evt c:eventarcweb01sysevent.evt Copy appevent.evt c:eventarcweb01appevent.evt
Then I used SQL Agent to create a job of type, Operating system command(cmdexec) and typed the following command :
C:atch_~1eventl~1webevnt.bat
When I run the command, C:atch_~1eventl~1webevnt.bat through the command prompt, the files are copied with the correct modified date. The output is, 1 file(s) copied 1 file(s) copied But, when I use SQL Agent and start the job containing the same command, the job runs successfully but, the files have a wrong modified date. Moreover, when I view the job history for this job, it says, specified drive not found. 1 file(s) copied. 1 file(s) copied.
But I am running this command with sa user..... Wich kind of permission is missing to execute this copy? When I execute the same command to copy the backup from the server to itself, it works fine!!!! Does someone have an idea to solve this problem?????
I have a SSIS package which is used to update the OLAP database daily. It includes various processes from the initial dropping of the raw data source tables, rebuilding it, dropping of the OLAP datamart tables (dimension tables and fact tables), re-building it, updating the OLAP dimensions and finally updating the OLAP cubes. I wrote a series of the Sql scripts to perform the tasks except the updating of the OLAP dimensions and cubes, and assigned them to the SSIS package. Everything is working great and it was scheduled with the sql agent to execute at the early hour everyday. We have a single server enviroment for the "Production/Processing" i.e. Database engine, SSIS, SSAS, SSRS are all installed on a single server. By the way we are using Sql 2005.
Recently we split the "Production/Processing" enviroment into two seperated servers. We purchase another server "Production" server and use the existing server as the "Processing" server. I want to copy the success updated OLAP database from the current server "Processing" server to the new "Production" server. How to copy an OLAP database between servers?
Idealy, I believe that the following 5 processes should be assigned after the completion of the OLAP cubes updated at the "Processing" server:
Stop the SSAS at the "Production" server.........I know how to do this in SSIS
Re-name the existing OLAP database at the "Production" server.......not sure how to do this
Copy the newly updated OLAP database from "Processing" server to the "Production" server. If the copy process is succeed, drop the OLAP database that has just been re-named at the "Production" server. If the copy process is failed, re-named the OLAP database that has just been re-named back to the original name.....not sure how to do this. Should it be a Sql script?
Start the SSAS at the "Production" server........I know how to do this in SSIS Thanks
This is a question of whether or not to use SSIS to solve a problem.
I need to copy SQL Server database backup files from a server in the DMZ to a fileserver inside the firewall. The SQL Server is not allowed to write it's backup files directly to the fileserver, so they are written to local disk. A connection can be made from inside the firewall to the SQL Server to copy the files off.
So, I'm considering SSIS for the job. Is it possible to use SSIS to perform the file copies from one remote server to another? If so, is the FTP task required, or can File System tasks be used?
An alternative would be Windows scripting, xcopy, robocopy, etc. but I like the features of SSIS and would like to take advantage of it's flow control, error handling, database scheduling, etc.
I have migrated databases and logins from SQL server 2008 R2->SQL Server 2014. Now I also want to migrate/copy the "linked servers". Do you have a step-by-step for this, so that i will copy everything that is necessary regarding logins etc ?Â
