Copying A Database Between Servers
Apr 10, 2008
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

I have two servers running SQLserver 7.0. I have a number of jobs that are configured to import files from an AS/400 each day. I do not want to recreate these JOBS on the second server, for it took quite sometime to set up only one. I know that I can set up multi server jobs, but I want these jobs to run independant of the Master server. In other words I just want to move a copy of the job over to the next server.

HI All,
Now my brain isn't quite where it should be right about now - so hopefully you will be able to put me at rest.
I have been building a new server with SQL2000 on it. Some of the stuff on our existing server is going to be migrated across - however I for the life of me cannot make any sense of how to move stuff (like DTS packages) from one server to another.
moving the Database's - no problems, but all the other guff in the tree (in Enterprise Manager) I cant seem to get.
Any assistance here is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Troy

I'm trying to copy files between 2 servers on a local network from within aSQL Job (and Query Analyzer) using xp_cmdshell.xcopy but get an accessdenied message returned.I'm able to successfully do the copy from within a command window so thinkthe problem has something to do with using the default SQL Server accountbut as yet I don't know how to resolve.Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated.

We have a growing number of servers and databases on each server that all share the same (sub)set of sprocs and UDFs. DTS packages, which we use for data import, frequently need to be copied between the servers. What is the best way to maintain this? Ideally, I would like to be able to click a button and have a script creating or altering one or more sprocs automatically run aginst all DBs on all servers. Likewise, I'd like to be able to copy DTS packages to all servers.
We use SS2000 SP4 and plan to migrate to SS2005. We also use ASP.net 2.0 and VS 2005 SP1.

hi
I've got a job which copy tables between different servers .
I am feeding the tables one by one and the process of copying is in a loop so I have cotrol over the copying process.
it works fine but sometimes randomly I am getting
Execution failed with the following error: "ERROR : errorCode=-1071636471 description=SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Invalid character value for cast specification".An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Invalid character value for cast specification". helpFile=dtsmsg.rll helpContext=0 idofInterfaceWithError={8BDFE893-E9D8-4D23-9739-DA807BCDC2AC}".
and the process fails and this might happen for in any point and on any table and sometimes it runs all the way successfully!!
any idea what the problem might be!
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

Hi, 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

Hi,
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.
