Can anyone advise me of a convenient way to make a copy of a database in SQL2005. I need to make a complete copy - including all Stored procedures, functions tables and table contents.
I want the place the copy ont he sae SQL server but obviously under a different name.
I have a real table with an identity column and a trigger to populate this column.
I need to import / massage data for data loads from a different format, so I have a temp table defined that contains only the columns that are represented in the data file so I can bulk insert.
I then alter this table to add all the other columns so that it reflects all the columns in the real table. I then populate all the values so that this contains the data I need.
I then want to insert into the real table pushing the data from the temp table, however this gives me errors stating that the query returned multiple rows.
I specified all the columns in the insert grouping as well as on the select from the temp table.
ANY thoughts / comments are appreciated. This is beginning to drive me nuts.

Hi All,I have come up against a wall which i cannot get over.I have an sql db where the date column is set as a varchar (i know, should have used datetime but this was done before my time and i've got to work with what is there). The majority of values are in the format dd/mm/yyyy. However, some values contain the word 'various'.I'm attempting to compare the date chosen on a c# .net page with the values in the db and also return all the 'various' values as well.I have accomplished casting the varchar to a datetime and then comparing to the selected date on the .net page. However, it errors when it comes across the 'various' entrant.Is there anyway to carry out a select statement comparing the start_date values in the db to the selected date on the .net page and also pull out all 'various' entrants at the same time without it erroring? i thought about replacing the 'various' to a date like '01/01/2010' so it doesn't stumble over the none recognised format, but am unsure of how to do it.This is how far i have got: casting the varchar column to datetime and comparing. SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE Cast(SUBSTRING(Start_Date,4,2) + '/' + SUBSTRING(Start_Date,1,2) + '/' +SUBSTRING(Start_Date,7,4) as datetime) '" + date + "'"Many thanks in advance!

Hi,
I am relatively new to this stuff.
I am using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express (9.00.1399.00)
Can someone tell me the way to get a table and its content to another database (I use two at webhosts4life)
Or perhaps a way to export the data of a table so I can do it at a later stage.
Is that at all possible with this program or do I have to use the non-express version?
Thanks in advance,
Lex
Hi,
For some reason I can't use the edit, update or insert features on my remote shared server, so I am looking to create a web page that has text boxes on it, that I can enter data into, that will be saved into my database.
This is opposed to entering the data directly into the database itself. I want to be able to use a webpage, for simply adding new data, and saving it so that the new data updates and saves over the top of the old data.
What are the steps involved in doing this?
Any example code for just one text box would be appreciated, I could then extend it to suit my needs. Tia.
hello!
i'm an sql server beginer. i was wondering if some of you guys can help
me out. i need for the sql server to be able to read an outside file (just text) and be able to run a script that will insert it in the database. it's a dcc output file. we've tried running this script:
DROP TABLE tests
go
DECLARE @SQLSTR varchar(255)
SELECT @SQLSTR = 'ISQL -E -Q"dbcc checkdb(master)"'
CREATE TABLE tests (Results varchar(255) NOT NULL)
INSERT INTO tests EXEC('master..xp_cmdshell ''ISQL -E -Q"dbcc checkdb(master)"''')
and it's running good but the problem is the results of the dbcc here did not come from a file but directly after executing the dcc command. is there a way to do it?
thank's for the help!
Script: [URL] ....
I need to move all of the contents of one database into anther with the same schema, and it looks like this might be just what I need. But it is from 2007, so I wonder if it is still current?
Also, having tried to run it on another database to generate the script that will actually do the copying, I have a few questions. It looks like it generates statements to import the data twice. For example:
BULK INSERT [TaPerfGDB].[dbo].[i1]
FROM 'C:Tempi1.Dat'
WITH (FORMATFILE = 'C:Tempi1.FMT',
BATCHSIZE = 1000000,
ERRORFILE = 'C:TempBI_i1.ERR',
TABLOCK);
And a little later:
INSERT INTO [TaPerfGDB].[dbo].[i1]
SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:Tempi1.Dat',
FORMATFILE='C:Tempi1.Xml'
) as t1;
That does not really make any sense to me. It also generates statements like this:
bcp "[TaPerfGDB].[dbo].[GDB_GEOMNETWORKS]" format nul -n -CRAW -f "C:TempGDB_GEOMNETWORKS.fmt" --S"PGALLUCC-M7" -T
What is the deal with the double hyphen by the servername? Won't it just see that as a comment? It can be easily fixed, but I am just suprised that it is still there after all these years. My purpose in doing this is a desparate attempt to salvege a database that sits on a server with multiple drive errors. These prevent backups, so I cannot just restore the database on the new server. That is why I want to try an approach that goes table by table, so that at least all the tables which are not touched by the drive errors can be moved.
It is a 3 TB database running on SQL Server 2008 R2 std. ed.
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.

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

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?

I have been trying to copy it but I don't know how to copy exactly everything. Could you help me please?
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thank you

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,
