Hello,
I have a sql database server (let call it server A) which has SQL program files installed on C:, and SQL data structures MSSQL (include subdirectories BAckup, DATA, FTDAT, JOBS, LOG, REPLDATA) on F:. A new server (call it server B) was cloned of server A but only at the C: partition. I still need to manually copy the SQL data structure on F: drive from A to B. The purpose of setting up server B is to test the restore of backup of server A and eventually want it to serve as the standby server should server A crashes. My questions are
1. Can MSSQL directory be copied from A to B without stopping the SQL server service on A first?
2. I will use robocopy for copying data over, what switches should I use to retain all database file security, permission, etc..
3. Currently I can not start the SQL service on server B because part of MSSQL directory is missing from the F: drive. so theorically, after I manually copy that folder over, I should be able to start the sql service. Am I right? Is there any steps that I might have overlook here. Any errors I might encounter doing it this way
Once I can get the sql started, I can take care of the restore part.
Thanks for any insights or suggestions you can provide on this.

I normalized the below tables but I am finding it difficult to copy data to the new tables. How do I copy data from existing table to the normalized tables? see the table structure below and other supporting information:
SKU_DATA(SKU,SKU_Description,Department,Buyer) Note: this table already has data in it.
CREATE TABLE SKU_DATA (
SKU
Integer NOT
NULL,

The table structure above have two three determinants( SKU,SKU_Description and Buyer). SKU and SKU_Description are candidate keys. Primary key is SKU.
Normalization : SKU_DATA(SKU,SKU_Description, Buyer)
BUYER(Buyer,Department)

Hi all expert,
Question as stated title above, how do I duplicate the table structure to another database whether it copies all columns, primary and foreign keys, default values, descriptions, constraints, indexes
Many thanks for the help.
regards,
We have databases with large numbers of tables. We have a separate database for each year. For various reasons, we need to export about 100 of the tables (Structure only, not their data) from last years database into this year's database. What is the best method for doing this? The import/export wizard creates the tables but does not bring in important things like keys.

Hi.
Is there anyway to export the table structures : data type,length,NULLABLE,Description into an Excel file using MS SQL Server?
Or I need to do it manually?
Thank you in advanced.

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 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,

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.
Just wondering if there is an easy transact statement to copy table 1 to table 2, appending the data in table 2.with SQL2000, thanks.

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.
