I'm trying to find a Stored procedure that will perform a complete table copy from the source to the target.
Anyone have one?
I want to replicate the foreign keys to secondary.I changed the value Copy foreign key constraints value is to True.
I changed this value at pub properties - Articles -
And then it is asking for MARK for reinitialization with the new snapshot.I clicked ok.
When I checked sync status it has given the message like initial snapshot is not yet available.I started the snapshot and the subscription started replication records.When check at pup properties the value Copy foreign key constraints again false.
After changing the value to true it is showing as False.
How to copy a table from one server to another server with primary and foreign key constraints.

View 3 Replies View RelatedDear Experts,When I use a single table I can easily use constraints to enforce mybusiness logic, but what do I do when I normalize a single table intomultiple tables.For example, imagine that my initial table has the columns ID, Name,Salary with the constraint that Salary is not NULL. Now imagine thatI break this into two tables, one with ID and Name and another with IDand Salary. I would like to have a constraint that prevents thecreation of a row with (ID,Name) in the first table unless acorresponding row in the second table is also created.I can enforce this logic with triggers, but it looks ugly and isfairly brittle. Is there a better way or is this the dark side ofnormalization?Thanks.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to create tables on the sql ce db that matches the tables I'm pulling from the main sql server?
example;
if I do a pull from Customers and ID is a primary key, how can i create this table on my handheld and have the ID set to primary key as well?
I want to do this on all my tables I need to pull from and create on my sql ce db
Any script out there for disabling all the constraints on all the tables in a database?
Since there are more than 100 tables I need to import the data into, is there any generic script that I can use to disable all the constraints and triggers etc on all the tables?
Thanks,
Guys,
I have 600 tables in my database, out of which 40 tables are look up value tables. I want generate truncate scripts which truncates all the tables in order of Parent child relationship excluding lookup tables. Is there any way to do this apart from figuring out Parent Child relationship and then writing the truncate statements for each of the table.
For example
EmployeeDetail table references Employee table
DepartmentDetail table references Department table
Department table references Employee table
My truncate script should be
TRUNCATE TABLE DEPARTMENTDETAIL
TRUNCATE TABLE EMPLOYEEDETAIL
TRUNCATE TABLE DEPARTMENT
TRUNCATE TABLE EMPLOYEE
Is there any automated way to figure out parent and child tables and generate truncate script for the same.
Thanks
Hey there,
Trying to build a temporary table based on a parent table such that:select * into #staging from tbl_parent where 1=0
The temp table (#staging) picks up any NOT NULL constraints from the parent (tbl_parent) table and frankly, it doesn't meet my needs.I also tried to build a view of the parent (tbl_parent) table from which to base my SELECT INTO and still, the constraints followed.
I'm thinking perhaps it possble to iterate though the temp table using syscolumns sysobjects and and set the column NULL properties on the temp table AFTER its been created but in this approach, I'm working to avoid directly referencing the columns by name.
Is this possible? A better answer perhaps?
Purpose of exercie is to populate a record in memory before it hits the table.I'll be constructing the record on the fly so that at first, I won't have all the fields to de-Null the columns.Also, I don't wish to lose the fact that some of my fields are Null - once I've fully populated my temp record, I'll insert into my 'real' table and will depend on constraints to throw the appropriate error. In this I won't have to built custom error checking in the stored procedure itself but instead depend on SQL SERVERS built capacity to the throw the error. This opens a bunch of possibilities for extensibility since if at a later date a constraint rule changes, one need only change the parent table definition rather than cracking open the stored procedure.
Thank you for reading and a big thanks to you for replying :)
Also,
Any tool, script, procedure, or otherwise that will solve this problem?
CREATE TABLE [Table 1] (
Id varchar,
TableTwoId varchar,
OtherData varchar )
CREATE TABLE [Table 2] (
Id varchar,
MoreData varchar )
What is the link between these two tables?
I have databases that have zero keys defined, no foreign key constraints, no unique value constraints. I cannot assume that an Identity column is the Id. The end game is be able to output that [Table 1].[TableTwoId] = [Table 2].[Id] but cannot assume that all linkage in the database will be as simple as saying "if the field name contains a table name + Id then it is the Id in that table."
Currently have written a script that will cycle through all columns and start identifying keys in singular tables based on the distinctness of the values in each column (i.e. Column1 is 99% distinct so is the unique value). It will also combine columns if the linkage is the combination of one or more columns from Table 1 = the same number of columns in Table 2. This takes a long time, and it somewhat unreliable as IDENTITY columns may seem to relate to one another when they don't.

I know this is probably a flick of a switch but I cannot figure out which switch. Setup is SQL Server / Stored Procedures / DAL / BLL(skipped for testing) / PL. The stored procedure queries from only one table and two columns are ignored because they are being phased out. I can run the stored procedure and preview the data in the DAL but when I create a page with an ODS linked to the DAL and a GridView I get this error. I checked every column that does not allow nulls and they all have values. I checked unique columns (ID is the only unique and is Identity=Yes in the table definition). I checked foreign-key columns for values that are not in the foreign table and there are none. Any ideas why do I get this?
Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints.
Hi,
I am getting the above error when trying to load a report into my Web Application, I have tracked the error down to one specific field in my database. Even though this field is a NVarChar field and is of size 30 it would seem that there is an issue returning the value from the field. I can write it into the database no problems but when I try to get it out of the database it returns the above error.
e.g
MOB 401.908.804 - Fails
0401.907.324 - okay
8239 9082 (pager) - fails
Anyone got an idea on how to fix this????

I have a table that I am basically reduplicating a couple of times for each part of this database that I want to create.Each table basically has the same data: The tables will be called motherTable, fatherTable, sonTable, daughterTable and so on.I am pretty much using the following in each column: UserID, MotherID(or FatherID or SonID, etc., etc. and so on for each unique table), FirstName, LastName, MiddleName, BirthPlace, Photo, Age.I don't see an option to copy a table and just modify the second ID part and rename that table accordingly.How can I make this an easier way of creating these similar tables without retyping all these columns over and over again?Thanks in advance.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
How can I copy a database table with all its data, indexes and constraints to a new table in the same database in sql server 2005
I am using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" to copy some tables from database A to database B including data.
The tables, primary key constraints, Foreign key, data and all transfers nicely except for "DEFAULT CONSTRAINTS" on the tables.
I have failed to find any option in the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" task to explicitly say "copy default constraints". So I guess logically it should happen automatically but it doesn't. I hope it is not a bug :-)
Any option anyone knows will help.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have 2 databases and each of them has different tables. I want to copy all of tables of database A to database B while keeping the existing tables of database B.
What is the best solution?

I need to duplicate all the tables owned by dbo to another object ownername in a database within the same database.That means,if there are 100 table owned by dbo in a 'Database A'. I need to have a total of 200 tables in the same database 100 each for dbo and 100 for another user.They should have same schema including the keys etc and data.How is this possible?Through DTS we can't copy them to the same databse.We do not want to have a temp db inbetween to complete this process.Any ideas on how to do this? NOTE:This is not a one time job.
Thanks.

I need to copy the data in the last name table to the field2 table do i use the update query in sql 2005?
View 5 Replies View Relatedcopy the tables of a database that will keep the indexes,constraints etc.? I'll be using SQL 2008 or Visual Studio 2008. The basic SSIS package will not work since our databases are being updated from time to time. (e.g. new columns/tables meaning we need to redo the SSIS package everytime there are changes).
