Copy Table In A Database Without Transaction Logging.

Mar 18, 2008

Hi y'all, I am doing some searching in the archived threads, but I have a need to copy a table in a database to a new table in the same database, but the new table will be just a table with test data. There are several million rows in the table and I want to do the copy without logging the new inserts in the transaction log.

Is there an easy way to do this? I found this in my search efforts so far, but am just wondering if there is an easier/better way to accomplish what I want to do.

BTW, I normally wouldn't care, but the boss is complaining that it is taking too long to do the copy for a different team, so asked if I knew a way to copy data to a new table without logging. I don't, so here I am ;)

Here is what I found so far:Following 3 things need to be done
1) create table as not logged initially
2) set autocommit=off
3) and activate the not logged initially option
Now the inserts happen without the use of transaction logs

Disable Transaction Logging For Table

May 9, 2000

Is it possible to disable the logging operations for insert/update/delete in the transaction file for certain tables?

I have an application where I have to write temporary tables for calculations and printing and all the insert/update/delete absolutely don't have to be logged. They get deleted after use anyway.

Logging Package Name For Any Event In Sysdtslog90 Logging Table

Oct 17, 2007



Hi,
I decided to use the SQL Server log provider to store logging data of all my Integration Services packages. I also created some reports about this data for operating purposes.
I have a problem occurs the name of the executing package is not always written to the log,but the name of the single task which failed. But that is not very useful information for operating, because I do not see any chance to get the name of the package by the information which is logged in the sysdtslog90 table in the database which I defined for SSIS Logging.

How do I configure the package to always log the package information into the table, too?


Best regards,
Stefoon

Dbo.Table Of A Database In The .SQLEXPRESS Object Explorer: How To Copy The Dbo.Table To The Another Blank Dbo.Table?

Jan 9, 2008

Hi all,

The following dbo.Tables of Northwind.mdf in my .SQLEXPRESS (SQL Server Management Studio Express) are missing:
dbo.Categories
dbo.CustomerCustomerDemo
dbo.CustomerDemographics
dbo.Customers
dbo.Employees
dbo.EmployeeTerritories
dbo.Order Details
dbo.Orders
dbo.Products
dbo.Regions
dbo.Shippers
dbo.Suppliers
dbo.Territories.

But, I have these dbo.Tables in a different Database "xyzDatabase". How can I copy each of these dbo.Tables to the another blank dbo.Table of Northwind Database?

I right clicked on the dbo.Categories and I saw the following thing:
dbo.Categories
New Table...
Modify
Open Table
Script Table as |> CREATYE To |>
DROP To |>
SELECT To |>
INSERT To |> New Query Editor Window
File....
Clipboard
UPDATE To |>
DELETE to |>
From the above observation,I think it is possible to copy the dbo.Table from the one Database to the Northwind Database that needs to be repaired. Please help and advise me how to do this task or tell me where I can find the Microsoft document that gives the details of this X-copy thing.

Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

P. S. I am using VB 2005 Express to create a project to learn "Calling Stored Procedures with ADO.NET" (see Paul Kimmel's article in http://www.developer.com/db/article.php/3438221) that needs the dbo.Tables of Northwind Database and my Northwind Database has been screwed up for quite a while and needs a big repair.

Transaction Logging

Oct 20, 2005

Lets say I have version 1 of a database - DB1. I  am creating the second database, DB2.

What I need is a log of all the SQL statements that where used to
change DB1 into DB2. This means recording both what happened in the GUI
and in the SQL Query Analyser.

Is there a way I can do this? I know SQL Server has a transaction log
somewhere. Is there a way to set this to output all the changes made
from a set date on a database into a SQL log file?

Thanks in advance for any help.

DTS And Transaction Logging

If you use the import feature of DTS to import data into various tables and your database is setup with truncate log on checkpoint set to false, will SQL Server log those transactions?

Logging Output In A Transaction

Oct 17, 2005

We have a publish job that we are trying to automate, the problem is getting the output back to the app. or a file. Originally we had print statements, this worked great when we manually ran the proc in QA and could capture the output, now that we are automating it from an application I am not sure how to capture these Print statements - ideally I would like to find this out.

The App. is doing a Try-Catch block so using something like isql.exe will not do the trick otherwise that is the route we would go.

I tried logging everyting to a table but those inserts get rolled back with XACT_ABORT. What about the xp proc that logs it to the event log? Thought of that but that would make a real mess of the event log with all of our status messages.

Now we are considering using xp_cmdshell that calls a batch file to output our status text, is this my best option? I would prefer to capture all of the print statements so if anyone knows how to do this that would be preferable!

Thanks!

Transaction Logging Backup Set

Jul 20, 2005

HiI take one nightly full database backup at 02:00 and backup thetransaction log to one backup set every 15mins.The commands to do this are as follows and are set up to run asdatabase jobs:-- Database BackupBACKUP DATABASE [ThikosDatabase] TO [DatabaseBackUp] WITH NOINIT ,NOUNLOAD , NAME = N'ThikosDatabase backup', NOSKIP , STATS = 10,NOFORMAT-- Transaction Log Backup Every 15mins.BACKUP LOG [ThikosDatabase] TO [TransactionLog] WITH NOUNLOAD , NAME= N'TransactionLogBackUp', NOSKIP , STATS = 10, DESCRIPTION =N'BackUp the transaction Log every 15 minutes every day.', NOFORMAT,RETAINDAYS = 0At the moment the transaction log backups every 15mins are simplybeing added one by one to the one backup set. I want the backed uptransaction logs in the backup set after 24hrs to be overwritten sodisk space does not add up. I thought RETAINDAYS would do this as anexpirydate is set to expire on the time it is created so i would haveexpexted it to be overwritten when that time comes around the nextday. (But is doesent)I think it is ok to overwrite the transaction log in the backupsetafter 24hrs as you only need the transaction logs since the last fullbackup (which happens nightly at 02:00) for recovery.Does anyone have any ideas?Many thanks.Thiko!

Minimize Transaction Logging

May 14, 2007

We use SQL PE 2000 in our lab to store sampled data (lots of data collected at high sampling rate) in real-time. i know this may be an uncommon use of SQL server. For this particular application, performance is much more important than data recoverability. In other words, once-in-a-while data loss is acceptable. Actually we have never used the transaction log for recovery since we started using the SQL PE in this way a few years ago. Certain transaction logging such as bulk deletion is particularly wasteful of the resource. As my understanding from reading the online book and some threads on this forum, the best thing we can do is using bulk-logged recovery model. I am not sure if that helps us at all because it seems that bulk deletion (i.e. DELETE FROM MyTable WHERE ..., may affect hundreds of thousands of records) is not on the list of minimally logged transactions.



I am wondering if anyone could share some good advice.



Thanks in advance!

Task/transaction Token By Logging

Jul 23, 2005

Hallo All,I'm making in my DB some logs.I have a separate table containing:ID,Date,Source,Type,ErrorNo,DescriptionAcctualy the table struct is not immportand that's why I do not postthe script.I have one procedure, which I call in my other function procedures,triggers etc. with parameters.This procedure (WriteToLog) is called, if in other procedures, triggersis any validation, exception or only information which I would like tolog me separately, and it writes the record into this table.But sometimes, it is very hard, to follow much logs, and I figured out,if I could have something like transaction ID, task ID, it will be mucheasier.Firs idea was to, by going from procedures to other procedures, pass aself generated token (ie. date with any additional number). But then, Ineed to change everywhere where I call WriteToLog procedure the callsyntax.Let's say that we have following situation:Procedure1:Action1Select1CompareOfValues1exec WriteToLogAction2CompareOfValues2exec WriteToLogAction3exec Procedure2Procedure2:Action1exec WriteToLogSelect1Insert1Trigger1Started:Action1CompareOfValues1exec WriteToLogAction2Trigger1Exit:Procedure2Exit:Procedure1Exit:Now ... I could pass this my generated number, from SP to SP and so on.But I would like to now, does the MS SQL server has something whatidentifies transaction like descripted below.In this case, I do not need to pass any number, only I need to get thisnumber anyhow in SP WriteToLog, and insert it into my log table.Any sugestions?Thank's in advance.Mateusz

Long Blocked Transaction Logging

May 5, 2007

Is there anyone know any feature in SQL server which can detect/log the transaction which has been blocked unusually long? My idea is:



If a transaction has run for over 30 minutes, then log the following information in SQL server log:

1. State of the transaction : Blocked, Running, Sleeping

2. Time happeing

3. Duration

4. Last SQL it run

5. Blocked by which thread and info of the thread : the last SQL it run, the state of the thread.



Possibly it would be run in SQL server agent or SQL profiler has such feature, I am not sure about it. Can anyone suggest? Thanks.

Copy Table Into Different Database

Apr 19, 2007

Hello, I have a table that I would like to copy into a different database. I'm using SQL Server 2005. The reason I don't just copy the data with "SELECT * FROM..." is because the desired table doesn't exist yet. It has ~50 columns and I'd rather not recreate them all (I didn't design it). Thanks.

Copy Table From One Database To Another

Feb 29, 2008

I want to make an exact copy of a production database table in our development database.
1. Script the production table using Script Table as Create
2. Drop the existing development table
3. Use the Script (see 1. above) to recreate the development table (substituting the proper database name)
4. Insert all records from the production table into the development table (insert into table development_table select * from production_table)

Does this create an exact duplicate including the proper sequencing of identity fields? Meaning if there are deleted records in the production database table, their identity fields would be numbered something like 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 11, etc. I want to make sure that the identity fields are numbered exactly the same in the development table.

If not, how do I do that?
thanks in advance!

Copy Table From .SDF To .SDF Database

May 24, 2007

Hi there,



this maybe a simple question but is it possible to copy a table from one sqlmobile database to another?



here is what i would like to be able to do although i am aware that it is not necessarily the most efficient way

- for various reasons this is how i have to do it:



A copy of a sqlmobile2005 database will sit on an SD Card on a pocket pc - DatabaseA.

A second database - DatabaseB - will then be sent as an attachment via email and pasted onto the sdcard

The information in DatabaseB is an update for DatabaseA.

At least 2 of the tables in DatabaseA need emptying and refilling with the data from matching tables in DatabaseB.



I'm guessing the easy way to to this would be a parameterized insert statement but unfortunately these tables contain approx. 900 records and i fear this would be a long process.



Any helpwith this matter would be much appreciated





Darren.

Copy Table And Data From One Database To Another

Oct 3, 2006

I 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?

How Can I Copy The Content Of MS Access Table In Database SQL Using Visual Studio Basic

Sep 26, 2007

Code Snippet

Hi there,

I'm struggeling for more than a week now with this problem, without a finding the solution.

I have two databases, MS Access and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition

Using a procedure in Visual Studio i would like to copy all the records from one table in MS Access into an existing table in SQL Server (the tables have the same name and the same layout)

I tried to prepare one Dataset to copy from Access into SQL Server but when i run the command 'DaSQL.Update(DsSQL, "Tabella") nothing happens (not even an exeption has been raised), looking during debug, the DataSet seems filled though...

Please could anyone explain what's wrong and / or is there a more quicker way to copy data from a table to another?


Note i woul have as a final goal to get data from an AS400 database by ODBC, manage it, and put it on SQL Server for a 'data mining' scope (eliminating the use of MS Access, not suited for FE-BE).

the procedure goes like this;


' Create a connection to the MS Access Database
Dim connectionToAccess As New OleDbConnection(DBConnectionAccString)
strsql = "SELECT * FROM [TABELLA]"
connectionToAccess.Open()
Dim DaAccess As New OleDbDataAdapter(strsql, connectionToAccess)

Dim DsAccess As New DataSet("ACCESS")
DaAccess.FillSchema(DsAccess, SchemaType.Source, "Tabella")
DaAccess.Fill(DsAccess, "Tabella")

' Create a connection to the SQL Database
Dim connectionToSQL As New SqlConnection(DBConnectionSQLString)
connectionToSQL.Open()
Dim DaSQL As New SqlDataAdapter(strsql, connectionToSQL)

Dim DsSQL As New DataSet("SQL")
DaSQL.FillSchema(DsSQL, SchemaType.Source, "Tabella")
DaSQL.Fill(DsAccess, "Tabella")

DaSQL.Update(DsSQL, "Tabella")

Note I tried also the following, withou a result;


DsSQL = DsAccess.Copy
DaSQL.Update(DsSQL, "Tabella")

Please is there someone who could respond !!???
