Can anyone help me to figure out how to generate the SQL Script that can produce the same database schema with the existing database?
I have tried the "Generate SQL Script" tool. However, it only creates the object such as tables, stored procedures, triggers and etc. I still have to create the database first in order to run that script. I have an existing database that has a 2.7 GB size (let's called this ABC Database). In a different server, I would like to create the same database with the ABC DB without having to restore the ABC DB. Bottom line, I would like to see the script creates the database along with all stored procedures, triggers and the size of the database will be 2.7 GB. Is it possible?
What do I need to do in order to make a copy of a schema. For example lets say my database has 3 schemas - Test, Production and Staging. I want to make an exact copy of Production. ie. complete copy - all objects - tables, views, stored procs and also all the data and probably call it Production-New. Now we have 4 schemas in the database.
This needs to be initiated from the app that the user is currently using. Is there any built in support (TSQL functions/commands/Sps ?) for such an activity ? and if not what may be the direction that I need to look at to take this further ?
Overall I'm looking at being able to take a quick snapshot of a schema and start using that. I must mention that the volume of data will be substancial and the solution devised should be able to do it rather quickly - The user clicks a button in order to take a snap shot. So the wait time has to be reasonable.
Locally I develop in SQL server 2005 enterprise. Recently I recreated my db on the server of my hosting company (in sql server 2005 express).I basically recreated the tables and copied the data in it.I now receive the following error when I hit the DB:The 'System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider' requires a database schema compatible with schema version '1'. However, the current database schema is not compatible with this version. You may need to either install a compatible schema with aspnet_regsql.exe (available in the framework installation directory), or upgrade the provider to a newer version.I heard something about running aspnet_regsql.exe, but I dont have that access to the DB. Also I dont know if this command does anything more than creating the membership tables and filling it with some default data...Any other solutions/thought on what this can be?Thanks!
I need to create some sort of method to copy the schema and data from an existing database and recreate that database schema and data at another location i.e. customer site. I would like to be able to start the rendered script from a command line. I will be very appreciative of anyone who can get me started in the right direction.
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.
I created my database on a remote server. It now has lots of tables and stored procedures When I created it, the server created a schema named for me, the user, so all my tables and stored procedures are named like johndoe.tablename. I would like to rename the schema to something less personal more professional. Can it be as simple as "ALTER SCHEMA johndoe RENAME professional"? Also, I would like to create a local copy of the databse, so I can develop offline, without the 2 second delay. SQL Server Management Studio Express lets me generate scripts, which I have been using to make backups. Can I use the script file to recreate the database on my local machine?
Hello everybody!I'm using ASP.NET 3.5, MSSQL 2005I bought virtual web hosting .On new user registrations i have an error =(The 'System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider' requires a database schema compatible with schema version '1'. However, the current database schema is not compatible with this version. You may need to either install a compatible schema with aspnet_regsql.exe (available in the framework installation directory), or upgrade the provider to a newer version. On my virtual machine it work fine but on web hosting i have an error =(What can you propose to me?
I set up DB mirror between a primary (SQL1) and a mirror (SQL2); no witness. I have a problem when I issue command:
alter database DBmirrorTest Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022'; go
The error message is:
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy of the database log.
I have the steps below prior to the command. (Note that both servers' service accounts use the same domain account. The domain account I login to do db mirror setup is a member of the local admin group.)
1. backup database DBmirrorTest on SQL1
2. backup database log
3. copy db and log backup files to SQL2
4. restore db with norecovery
5. restore log with norecovery
6. create endpoints on both SQL1 and SQL2
CREATE ENDPOINT [Mirroring]
STATE=STARTED
AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT = 5022, LISTENER_IP = ALL)
FOR DATA_MIRRORING (ROLE = PARTNER)
7. enable mirror on mirror server SQL2
:connect SQL2
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL1.mycom.com:5022';
go
8. Enable mirror on primary server SQL1
:connect SQL1
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
This is where I got the error.
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy
if i have a given database (a model) and i want to copy this database in the same database instance. Is it ok to copy the mdf and ldf file and attach the files with a new database name in the same instance.
I recently added a new user to my database. Now I want to delete that user, but I keep getting the error above. What do I need to do to delete my recently added user?
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Query execution failed for data set 'TestID'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand) For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
The log file reads:

***Background***
General Users got an error message when trying to access any reports we have created. All admin have no problems with the reports. Users (Domain Users) are given rights (Browser) to the reports and the Data Sources (Browser) and yet cannot view the reports.
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Cannot create a connection to data source 'DS2'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection) For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
I'll add this from the report logs...

The user has rights via a local group to the report and data source (Browser rights) and the local group has been added as a SQL login.
I gave rights to the databases themselves instead of just to SQL and the error changed (Ah-ha...progress, but why!?!?)
Hello I am a software developer with minimal SQL server administration skills. Currently I am using SQL Server 2000.I need to know if there is a way to copy a particular table from a database, and to copy the table into a different database.Basically on a project I am working on we are using a table named "Customers" from a database named QTR. We need to copy this database table into a different database named "Research". How can this be done? Is if very complicated?
I need to export a database, x, of a server, X, to another database, y, of a server, Y and I need export the database schema only, not include the data. Does anyone know how to do that? Many thanks for replying.
Trying to get my hands around all the new security features of SQL Server 2005. In Management Studio did something I don't know how to undo. I added a database role ReadOnlyRole and clicked the box next to db_datareader in the owned schemas box. Then I tried to remove the ReadOnlyRole and could not. How do I undo what I did? Is it possible?
The below is the TSQL that generates the my issue.
Use [master] go create database [test] go
USE [test] GO
CREATE ROLE [ReadOnlyRole] GO
USE [test] GO
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON SCHEMA::[db_datareader] TO [ReadOnlyRole] GO
here is my problem. I have to rebuild database after crash. there is no backup. So I did a bcp to get data from. But I do not have the original database so my question is how to get the full schema off the data base, tables,colomns,stored procedures etc...
Hi. I would like to retrieve the table names of a database, the column names nad its contraints of each table in a database.. How can this be achieved???
We currently have a product in which each client has their own Database. We adjust the connection when a user for that client logs into the system. This system has continued to grow and a good pace, but we have come to a point where failover is taking too long.
Refactoring the Database to handle multiple sites in a single database is not an option because of the time it would take to make the change. So, we are looking for another way in which this could be handle. One idea is to take multiple clients and place them in a single database using a schema to seperate them. (ex. Client A = server1.db1.schema1, Client B = server1.db1.schema2, etc).
Is there another option that would be better, or what kind of performance can we expect if we follow this path? Or, is there a way to decrease the failover time (it appears the problem is the startup of the database on the failover server)?
We have a RS 2000 server with a over a hundred reports, and about half as many weekly and monthly subscriptions. In reply to my request to upgrade to RS2005, the boss asked me today for a compete list of the reports, who subscribes to them, and their delivery frequency.
He was not interested in paying for a VB or C# development effort with the SOAP API that it would require to obtain a simple list from a SQL server database, since he already has SQL programmers on staff.
So how can I get this list? Anyone know of any demo code out there?
Is there a way for VS2005 to export the database schema of a .mdf into a .sql file? Preferably from a Web PRoject, not a Database Project, but right now I am anything but picky, so whatever works. Thanks.
SQL Database Schema Sync We have development and production databases, when we change database schema in development database how can I synchronize it to production without creating data problems in production, is this possible in SQL2005? Or any external tool I can use?
Hi all, I am doing a replication of a SQL Server 2005 database from one server to another server, everything worked fine. Now, when I added some fields to this database, the replication stopped. can I do replication of a schema of a SQL database? how? Should the replication work even if I add some fields.
I have been asked to export the database schema (containing table names, field names, data types, field lengths, field defaults, nulls, etc) to an MS Excel spread sheet. "sp_help filename" provides some data but the format is difficult to manage.
All help with this matter would be greatly appreciated....
Hello all,I am doing some research on database conversions. Currently, I aminterested in any information that would help me convert a database fromone schema to another. This could be changes as minimal as adding afield to a table, or as large as deleting tables and changingrelationships. Unfortunately, my experience with SQL Server is minimal.I know how to do a lot, but I do not know a lot of intricacies thatmost experts know. I know how to add tables, delete them, alterrelationships, add fields, work with stored procedures, take care ofsecurity, etc. I also know how to backup, restore, etc.The type of information I am looking for could be:1) Open source software that performs conversions2) Tutorials/books/<any reference> that would assist me in learningwhat I must to complete this task.3) Third party software that could be used on a large scale andwouldn't resort in unnecessary licensing cost if I was to deploy on thislarge scale.I greatly appreciate any information that could be provided me.To give you guys an idea of my experience level:I've been programming C# and .NET for a year now. I've also hadextensive experience in object-oriented design. I've worked with visualbasic, cobol (did I mention this? LOL), asp.net, php, javascript, andseveral other programming languages on an extensive basis. Whileprogramming is my speciality, I've strayed away from database work untilnow. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in researching this matter.Thanks ahead guys,Shock
Hello all. I am using Sql Compact Edition for a small standalone application, I create and build the initial database schema on initial startup. What I am looking for is a way to upgrade the software and on initial startup of the new version, I would like it to compare the existing database with a new schema and then update the database based on the difference. This way I can have a version that will update the database without me having to know what version it is to begin with. Is there a way to do this or am I asking too much?
