I have 2 copies of the SP i work with. An original one and a backup. I usually work with the backup. Is there any way to update the original after updating the backup?. I usually forget what I have changed in the end of the day.
at work all the databases i use are only accessible via the local network, i am wanting to take a copy of the databases and save them as a database file so i can burn them onto cd and take home with me so i can get some extra work done on the weekend (i'd also like to start doing this so i have backed up copies of the database incase anything happens to it)
i was wondering how i can do this? are there any tutorials on the web that someone can point me to? i have SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express.
I'm getting 3 copies of the result set expected, could someone take a look and tell me why. I know I covered this in school, but I can't remember the issue. Thanks
SELECT P.Quantity as Qty, P.ItemID, P.VendorCode, P.Descr as Description, P.UnitPrice as Price, P.Amount, I.Freight, Rcvd = 0, I.QtyRcvd as Ship FROM PurchaseOrderItems P, ReceivedItems I, Received R WHERE P.POID = R.POID AND R.IntRcdID = I.PRID AND P.POID = 193
I work for a Geographic Information Systems contractor and we are new to SQL 2005. One of our clients sent us a copy of an .mdf file. I have tried to attach the file but they did not send us the associated log file. What is the most efficient way for us to exchange copies of SQL 2005 databases with clients. Most of our clients are novices with SQL 2005 also.
In previous threads I saw that in a scenario where Log Shipping is active any other Log Backup activities should be avoided in order to let the Log Chain stay intanct. Until now we just used Mirroring and Full Backup and Log Backup. Introducing Log Shipping to a third Server in a separate location would mean that the existing Log Backup Jobs must be removed or Log Shipping will not work.
I am glad to have read these threads before falling into that trap myself.
A question was raised by my colleague who is responsible for the System and Network Administration. Are these Log Backups that will be performed by Log Shipping just differential? He would not like to see that Log Shipping is pushing or pulling Log's that grow during time.
I named to him two reasons that it must be differential. A Log Backup truncates the existing Log which implies that the next Log is just the difference since the last Backup. Also, it must be differential because the Transations can only be committed once anyway, so Log Shipping implies that those Log Backups are just as big as the incoming Transactions since the last Log Backup.
I'm using CLR integration on SQL Server 2005 to call functions from a COM dll made with VB6. I do this to keep some important parts in packed unmanaged code, to make reverse engineering harder.
I keep the COM dll in the system directory. When it's referenced from a .net project, VS copies and uses it as 'interop.myCOM.dll'. When I add the assembly to SQL Server, it needs the referenced 'interop.myCOM.dll' file added. When a class from the COM dll is called by a CLR stored procedure, it needs to locate the real COM dll.
So, the same dll has to be in two different places in two different forms, one as an assembly (interop), and one in its own place. I guess the 'interop' one is not really used, but it just helps to retrieve class information during design time and initialization or something. Everything works ok, but thinking about the packing step and others, this makes things messy. How can I prevent using two copies of my COM dll?
I load the COM class as follows:
Code Snippet
Private Shared ReadOnly m_myClass As myCOM.clsGeneric = New myCOM.clsGeneric
then map stored procedures (shared functions) to related functions of the m_myClass object.
is it ok to run VSS (shadow copies) on an SQL server?
I have IIS and SQL on the same server. I would like to make shadow copies of my IIS files, but don't want to do anything that could corrupt my SQL databases.
I'm working in a team, and need to share a database between the group - we don't have the luxury of sharing a server and connecting to it.
So What we'd like to do is make a copy of the database schema, and then share that through our repository.
I figured I just need to copy the .mdf file from the sql server database folder, and put it in the visual studio directory to work on it?
So I've tried this, but when I try to create a TableAdapter to the database through visual studio, It gives me an "access denied". I figure this is probably something to do with security settings?
Do you think I'll need to change my Database connection from windows authentication to sql authentication?
I don't really know exactly how to do what I'm trying to do, so any help will be appreciated.
there are two developers in different offices and they have started with the same db and keep modifying the stored procedures. in a point they want to update their copies of the DB with each other. Is there a easy way to do this in MS Sql server 2005.

I am creating a program that will take a master database and create separate databases for class room training.creating my own app to do this since it will have other stuff to do.i will have a master database that i will need to create multiple copies of. 2-20 copies, it is about 7GB large. it is used in a classroom training course for our company software. it will also copy a folder on the server onto multiple subfolders.each computer in the classroom will access its own copy of the database/windows folders.
What i am looking for is a fast/reliable way to create the multiple database copies. then when the training class is over and a new one is getting started, we will run my program to reset everything back to start.Should i detach/copy/attach or create a master backup and restore it 20 times. What kind of user access pitfalls will i need to look out for.
Wondering how this is handled by Multicast component. If multiple copies are created in the memory and the size of the dataset is large, this could cause some performance problems. Any thoughts? TIA
I want to write a batch file that will do just that. The problem is bcp or bulkcopy never works with my code, it doesn't recognize it. Maybe I'm going the wrong way to do this, but I could use some help. Ideally I'll make the batch to do the importing via bulkcopy or something like it of a text file into a table and use windows scheduler to automate it. Be as specific as you can please, I'm very new to sql server.
I am new to reporting services and I'm really stuck on a design problem. Can someone please help me?
I would like to design my own print function. When a user clicks on the print icon (preferably the one that came with reporting services), the report is automatically printed twice, once with "For Person A" and the second time with "For Person B" on it. It doesn't matter where these two labels are placed on the page. These two reports need to be printed on letter-size paper regardless of user's selection. How do I do this with minimum amount of code?
