Hi,I have(had) an old Win2k Server server with about 30 web site databases(SQL 2000) that just went under due to hardware problems. Thankfully, Ihave backups of all the databases plus the MDF and LDF files from thehard drive.I want to move all of these sites and their data to a newer server(Win2003) running SQL2000.What's the best way to copy the database from the old server hard drive(now mounted as an extrnal drive to a local machine; I'm currentlyFTPing all of the web site directories from it to the new server)?Just upload the original data to the new server and then mount the MDFand LDF files within the new SQL server? Or do I restore the backupfiles in the new SQL2000?All of my previous data migrations have been DTS operations from onelive server to another, so no experience with either of the abovescenarios. I'll certainly have a lot more experience at one of them bythe time this weekend is through.Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi!
What is the best way to copy data from SQL server to Access database located on differet machines?
Thank you,

Hello,
there is a database with an table x and I want a copy of that in my testdatabase.
I am pretty sure, that I have done that the whole last week, but it's not working anymore.
I thinkt, that last time I used a statement like that to copy the table with structure and all.
insert into dbtest.dbo.x select * from db.dbo.x
Today it's only telling me, that the destinationtabel x is not present.
The table has about 100 fields and I swear, I didnt create it by hand in the testdatabase, I'm definitely too lazy for that.
I can't use the enterprise manager, I only can use sql.
There are still tables in my testdatabase, I copied last week. So what is wrong with my insert into?

I am trying to copy item names from one database to another if they share the same code number.
e.g.
UPDATE TABLE1
SET NAME = DB2.TABLE2.NAME
WHERE CODE = DB2.TABLE2.CODE
I dont know how to specify the second db as using a '.' here doesnt seem to work. I have also tried '..' and DB2.dbo.TABLE2 but get the same error - 'The column prefix 'Train_DB_FinancialsProd.dbo.ITEM_DEFINITIONS' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.'
I have checked that the spelling is ok so not sure why it doesnt work.
I have also tried using a temp db in between to copy the values across then try to update from the temp table but couldnt make that work either. e.g.
create table #tdhname
(
code char(50),
name char(100)
)
INSERT INTO #tdhname (code,name)
select distinct code,name from Train_DB_FinancialsProd..item_definitions tritm
where code = tritm.code
and tritm.ittyp_refno = 241
update pharmacy_items
set name = #tdhname.name <----- THIS DOESNT WORK
where #tdhname.code = code
Thanks!

View 3 Replies View RelatedHelp!!! I am trying to consolidate 5000 odd databases. Each database contains hundreds of tables. The tables in each database are identical to the tables in all of the other databases. Sounds simple doesn't it? However, SSIS has defied every trick that I have applied to this task including changing connectionstrings at run time through package configuration. has anyone out there ever tackled a similar challenge?. Please let me know

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am creating an ASP.Net project at work and have created a database in Microsoft SQL Server 2005. I need to copy data from an old database (which is in Access) that the company has used for years. The problem is that these databases are not very similar (the Access database is not normalized at all). My question is simply this -- is there an easy way to do this. I would like to avoid writing a lot of code if possible as this will only run one time. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

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.

How can I do the same.
Please help me.

I've got a view that is driven from a 80 million record table in a data warehouse. I am trying to populate an aggregate table in a datamart, but am running into preformance problems. The datamart table needs to be updated daily. I understand there are many factors that effect performance, but in general would the fastest approach be:
1) Truncate the datamart table
2) Perform a bcp of the view to a text file
3) Bulk Insert to the datamart table
If you need more information to answer this please let me know.
Thanks,
Matt

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I want to migrate data from old DB to New DB. New db is having schema changes. For e.g Table A in Old DB is split into
two tables A1 and A2 in new DB. I want to copy some columns from Table A to A1 and some into A2. A2 is having relation with A1(A1's ID is FK in A2). I want to insert records into A1 and using the identity column of newly inserted record, i want to insert the record into A2. Please guide me how can i do this with SSIS.
Thanks in Advance
