Hi all,
I want to copy a database from my SQL Server system and install it on another. Can anyone suggest me how I can copy the same along with log info, login info, permissions, etc. and install it on another system. Thanks!

How to maintain Database User Permissions when copying the Database from One SQL Server to another(Either through backups or sp_detach). The reason is the login sid is different in the target server and as a result the database user is not able to map to the login existing in the target server. The only way I can correct this is through dropping and recreating the user's again and assign the permissions, or change the system catalog - sysusers to remap the login to the user in the database.
I do not wish to use the sp_addalias as it is available only for backward compatibility.
Is there a better way of doing this ?
I am trying to copy one database to another using copy wizard for SQL Server 2005. The destination database is on another server/box.
I get the following errors when executing the SSIS package: "The job failed. The Job was invoked by User abcd. The last step to run was step 1 (abcd_0_Step).".

Can this be done? Is there something that needs to be set security wise for this to work?

Hi all,
New member here...
I've used SQL2000 before (Enterprise Mgr, Query Analyzer), but, now I'm at a company without any DBAs so I'm on my own as far as administration goes which I haven't done before on SQL2000.
We have a production database about 100MB in size. As of now there is no development DB. They won't pay for a new server, so I'd like to create a new development database on the same prod server. Then, I want to copy the existing prod database into the new dev DB.
I've read up some on DTS, but I wanted to check with the community to see if anyone had other recommendations or if this is the best way to go about it.
Also, is this a process that should run at off-hours? Would the copy of production lock the DB up?
Thanks a lot...
Hello,I'm trying to make a copy of a database with this code
Code Snippet
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string dbname = @"D:Documents and SettingsBeheerderMijn documentenVisual Studio 2005ProjectsTest12Test12inDebugDatabase1.mdf";
string constr = string.Format("Data Source=(local)\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDBFilename="{0}";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True", dbname);
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(constr))
{
connection.Open();
connection.Close();
}
File.Copy("Database1.mdf", "Database1Copy.mdf");
}
but once the code tries to execute the File.Copy line it comes with an error that the database is currently in use by another program, and also when I'm debugging the program and I try to copy this database with windows explorer it says that the program is currently in use.I've read up some stuff and found that you can stop the SQLServer Service, wich I did but then my program gave an error about not being able to connect to the database, when starting upand also detaching and attaching a database, wich I don't know how to do.So my question is are any of these above methods correct to do, and how do write the code for it? If not is there any other way to copy a database?Thanks in advance,Ruben Pieters

Hi,Whats the best and easiest way to copy a table from one database to another via ASP.net?I want to copy from SQL Server to Oracle. I have an ODBC connection for Oracle.I was thinking I could use a DataSet, but wasn't sure of the details on doing this. Am I off base on this?What I have so far..1) I can get the data from SQL Server into a DataSet.2) I can establish a connection to Oracle via ODBC and the database has the appropriate table structure.How do I 'use' the SQL Server DataSet to copy the data to Oracle?Thanks,Scott
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi, I'm trying to copy one SQL Server Database into another SQL Server DB within the same server. I learnt a bit about this copying, that it copies only the Database structure, the Tabels, constraints view stored procedures etc etc. Is there a tutorial where I can get clear instructions to do this. I just need the table structure without any data to be copied into this. Have even tried exploring creating and executing DTS packages but cudn't get much help with this. Any help wud be really appreciated.
Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
Does anyone know how to copy a database from one server to another? I want to backup a production database and restore it to a different server (a test server) as a test.
I used a sample from the MCDBA study book and all I got was two copies of Northwind on the same server. Any idea what I did wrong? Seems like you should be able to backup on one server and restore on another. Here's the code I used:
BACKUP DATABASE Northwind
TO DISK = 'Sd-appsmssql7DataNwind.bak'
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = 'Sd-appsmssql7DataNwind.bak'
RESTORE DATABASE Northwind2
FROM DISK = 'Sd-appsmssql7DataNwind.bak'
WITH MOVE 'Northwind' TO 'Sd-sqlmssql7DataNorthwind.mdf',
MOVE 'NorthwindLog1' TO 'Sd-sqlmssql7DataNorthwindLog1.ldf'
GO
Thanks for your help.
What is a good way to do such a thing?

Hi guys,
I can't find what is wrong.
I am copying a database via DTS and I get an error mid way "Invalid object dbo.fx_get_role_from_ownerid". But the object does exist and it has benn in production for a while now.
Why would I get his error, if the object does exist?
I am attempting to move a User Database from the Production Server to a Training Server. What is the best/most simplistic way for me to accomplish this task and place this copying action on a schedule of say "every saturday morning @ 7am"
I tried the "Copy Database Wizard" within Enterprise Manager and it successfully copies the database, however when I try to schedule it to happen at a different time...it does not copy the database. It seems to only work when I tell it to perform this action now.
Please help.
Thanks,
JC

Hi. I have a client with a database hosted on SQL Server 2005. I don't have a paid version of SQL Server at home so am just using SQL Server Express. I'm getting INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATED that I can't use the "copy database" wizard from SQL Server Express.
Am I just out of luck on this? I can't use the "copy database" feature since I'm using Express. I can't get the actual files since the database is on a shared server. I know I'm not the only person with this issue; I see people asking the question but I don't see any answers.
Is there any way I can copy this database?
Thank you very very much,
- Andrew Clarke.
