Tempoary Table Question - How To Create One With The Same Schema As An Existing Table?
Jul 28, 2006Hello,
I'd like to create a temporary table with the same schema as an exiting table. How can I do this without hard coding the column definitions into the temporary table definition?
I'd like to do something like:
CREATE TABLE #tempTable LIKE anotherTable
..instead of...
CREATE TABLE #tempTable (id INT PRIMARY KEY, created DATETIME NULL etc...
I'm sure there must be a simple way to do this!
Many thanks,

Create New Table From Several Existing Tables?
Apr 8, 2012I have three tables :
England_Summer_2001
England_Summer_2002
England_Summer_2003
The tables have the following columns :
Player, Position, [From], [To], Fee, Type, ID, League, Window
I want to create a new table, EnglandFinal with all the data from the three tables although I'm guessing it would not be a good idea to copy the primary keys (ID column) as they would clash.
I have played around with CREATE and INSERT into and UNION but I get various errors. I'm sure I've done this before!
This creates a table from a single table :
select * into Final
from England_Summer_2001

Not Able To Create An Identity Column For An Existing Database Table
Feb 1, 2008I am working with a table in SQL server. I have a column that I want to designateas an identity column. I am not able to do this, because the field for "Identity Specification" is not editiable.
What I did was I went to sql server, right clicked and selected "Modify".The column properties dialog box/edit grid is then displayed with attributesthat I can modify.
There are two major nodes in this dialog box. One is named "General" and the otheris named "Table Designer". I expand the "Table Designer" node and then go to the node labeled "Identity Specification" It is here where I would like to edit thevalues.
The values that are listed for edit are listed below. BUT, the problem is thatI can place my cursor in those fields, but I am not able to change/edit them.Can anyone tell me what the problem is here? and how I can fix it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedCreate A Testing Database Out Of Existing DB
May 24, 2007Hello All,
I was wondering if anybody can help me with the following question:
I'm working on the application where the Database, it's table (2) and several stored procedures are involved. The database is SQL Server 2000. It's also very old and involves a lot of operations, stored proc and so on. I just need to re-write a piece of the app which is using existing stored proc. Most of them are DELETE, INSERT and so on. I don't want to work with real stage DB and need to make a copy of the Database to my Dev box. So I tried:
* Right click, All Tasks, Export Data into the newly created database on my dev box.
That doesn't work, every time I try doing it, it fails somewhere in the middle of the process. I'm thinking it happens because of complexity of the database. I tried several options there already. Still nothing. I need the whole databse to be copied because I'm not sure which stored proc the app is using so I need them all, and tables too. Is there another way of doing this?
Thank you,
Tatyana

Can't Create Or Edit Existing Objects From SQL SRV 7.0
May 4, 1999Hello,
I just upgraded our existing 6.5 installation with the new SQL server 7.0. I can't get any of the existing stored procedures which I imported from 6.5 into 7.0 to allow me to edit them. I do all of my design from Visual InterDev and the SQL Server 6.5 version would allow me to create and edit stored procedures. It would also allow me to create/design new tables.
With SQL Server 7.0 I do not have an option to edit or create any of these items. I have created a new login, assigned it a password, given it admin rights/roles and I am still unable to remotely create these items. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any assistance

Cannot Create New Or Change Existing Subscriptions
Jun 2, 2006We are having problems when creating new subscriptions or when trying to edit existing subscriptions. When editing an existing subscription, the report manager displays "An Internal error occured" message and when I look in the log the error says
Only members of sysadmin role are allowed to update or delete jobs owned by a different login
When trying to create a new subscription the report manager displays "An internal error occured" and the log says
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The schedule was not attached to the specified job. The schedule owner and the job owner must be the same or the operation must be performed by a sysadmin.
We are running sql reporting services 2005 sp1. The report server database server is on a different machine to the reporting server. The existing subscriptions were set up previously on another report server which was originally our dev server. These subscriptions are working just can't change them, or create new ones.
Any help is much appreciated.
Create Full Sql Script From Existing Mdf

In most books on ADO.NET programming, a sample database is given as a series of sql instructions (create database, create table, insert into table values (..), etc ), thereby creating the complete mdf/database file. The question arises: how does one create such a SQL script file from an existing .mdf using SSMSEE/SQL Server 2005 Express?

How Can I Create An Install Script Using An Existing Database?
May 19, 2005I have a database full of tables but no install script. Is there a way
I can use EM or QA to create a create database with all the tables
script?
What I am trying to avoid is going through by hand to all these tables and writing out the sql to create the tables...
I know you can do it one table at a time in QA by clicking on the table
and choosing 'Script object as new', but I was wondering if there was a
way to do this for an entire database at once, instead of one table at
a time...
Thanks!

Does SSRS Have To Create Its Own Database? Or Can It Use An Existing Empty One?
Sep 10, 2007Hello everyone,
Greetings! I just found this group after wasting hours trying to make
SSRS work with databases that are already created (that is, the DBA
created two empty databases for me, X and XTempDB).
I keep getting "this connection string is invalid can't use this to
connect to SQL Server" in the Database Setup tab.
The problem is that to create its own database, SSRS needs dbcreator
and securityadmin roles (please correct me if I'm wrong here). And I'm
having a helluva problem trying to convince the DBA to give me
temporary dbcreator and securityadmin roles!
Is there any document or
something that I can use to convince him that SSRS will not do
anything like recreating the login (because he said that the login has
already existed and has its role set up in many other databases)?
Any help, pointers, suggestions, etc. is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray

Jul 21, 2006I re-created a publication that was having problems and it gives this error when I start the snapshot agent from SQL Server Management Studio: I am stuck on how to resolve - any ideas?
"The publisher's identity range allocation entry could not be found in MSmerge_identity_range table. Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates that a commit or ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statement is missing. Previous Count = 1, current count = 2."
select * from MSmerge_identity_range returns 19 entries but I don't know how to fix.
I have tried deleting and re-creating but always get this error.
My other publications and subscriptions are working fine and I was able to create a new test publication that worked but can not get this one to work that worked fine up until today.
Any ideas?

SQL 2012 :: Importing Excel Table Into Existing Table?
Aug 25, 2014I am using the DTS wizard and having problems importing excel into an existing table.
Problem is that various column in excel are defined as double in the wizard but in my db table it is defined as an integer.
How do I get around this issue so the data types in excel can match up accordingly to my defined data type in my db table?
The wizard does a bad job of guessing the correct data type.
I have heard of using a staging table to import from excel and using that as my source to import into my existing table.
Create Table From Text File, Extract Data, Create New Table From Extracted Data....
May 3, 2004Hello all,
Please help....
I have a text file which needs to be created into a table (let's call it DataFile table). For now I'm just doing the manual DTS to import the txt into SQL server to create the table, which works. But here's my problem....
I need to extract data from DataFile table, here's my query:
select * from dbo.DataFile
where DF_SC_Case_Nbr not like '0000%';
Then I need to create a new table for the extracted data, let's call it ExtractedDataFile. But I don't know how to create a new table and insert the data I selected above into the new one.
Also, can the extraction and the creation of new table be done in just one stored procedure? or is there any other way of doing all this (including the importation of the text file)?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
