I've been testing a variety of database schema migration tools. Our
company purchased Embarcadero Change Manager a while ago but we've
been less than satisfied with the results.
We are looking for a tool that can compare a source/developer database
with a target/client database and then make the necessary changes.
The tool will need to update stored procedures, tables, indexes,
constraints, etc. The tool will also need to make the changes in the
correct order based on dependencies and relationships.
Does anyone have experience in migrating data (not structure) from an Oracle 7.x database to a new schema built on SQL 6.5? Especially using third party migration tools, for example Data Junction 6.5?
I would be interested in seeing any materials you can provide or advise as I start down this path.
Please point me towards some good trusted (possibly economical) Data Conversion tools for converting legacy system SQL 2000 (XML, Image all data type) db data to SQL 2005 database (and possibly to Oracle too) in a totally different db schema/structure.
Hi! can some one help me guide to knwo as to how do we compare teh database schemas of two databases.. i mean in case i have to compare the schema of 2 ole dbs or 2 sql databases then i can do it using teh XML schema and compare but then in case i need to compare a SQL schema and a oledb schema then how do i go about it.. since the long datatype in ms access ( using ole db) is text in SQL and tiny int is int16... there are some other discripancies liek that. So how do i go about checking teh database schemas for such disperate DBs. Can soem one tell me some site or give soem guidance in this regard. Please help me as i need it for my project where i need to compare teh schema and alert when they are not compatible.. Please help...thanks in advance..
Hello all. I am using Sql Compact Edition for a small standalone application, I create and build the initial database schema on initial startup. What I am looking for is a way to upgrade the software and on initial startup of the new version, I would like it to compare the existing database with a new schema and then update the database based on the difference. This way I can have a version that will update the database without me having to know what version it is to begin with. Is there a way to do this or am I asking too much?
Hi everyoneDoes anyone know or has anyone heard of any migration tools whichare/might be available for converting SQL Server 2000 databases to SQLServer 2005 Express?I'm guessing it is probably a bit early but it was worth a shot!ThanksDave
Following an upgrade to SQL Server 2012, our shop's Schema Compare tool (Redgate SQL Compare) is no longer supporting our environment.We are starting to evaluate various 3rd party products to find a possible replacement, and would be interested in what products are favored by other IT shops who do a lot of database work.
Our shop is split about 75% SQL Server, 20% Oracle, and 5% I'll call other. Ideally a product would support SQL Server and Oracle, but our focus is on SQL server right now. On that platform we have ~50 servers spread across DevUATProd environments.In basic terms, we need a tool that can identify schema differences between DBs and generate synchronization scripts to support deploys between environments. Real-time synchronization is not a requirement (nor desirable), as deploys are a gated DBA function in our shop.
I am running SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition and I was asked for a way to export the database schema (Tables and Columns and their connections to each other) to HTML. I tried googling this, but all I found was paid tools that offer this and I was wondering if there is anything integrated in the SQL server or a free tool that provides this functionality?
I downloaded the Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access 4 weeks ago. Today, I tried this program for the first time. I added one Database with 3 Access 2003 Tables to the Access Metadata Explorer. I right clicked Databaes on the Access Metadata pane and did not see the "Convert Schema" highlighted!!!??? What is wrong with the program? How can I make it highlighted? Please help and advise.
I would like to use SSIS tool to move the data from one database schema to another database schema.
For example:
Source table has
1. UserName (varchar 20) (no null)
2. Email (varchar 50) (can be null)
Destination table has
1. UserID (uniqueidentifier - GUID)
2. UserName (varchar 50) (no null)
3. EmailAddress (nvarchar 50) (can be null)
4. DateTime
Questions:
1. What controls do I use in my Data Flow to make data move between databases with different data types and include new value in UserID as a new GUID and DateTime as a date (GETDATE)?
OLE DB Source, OLE DB Destination, Data Converson and .....
How do I insert Guid and Date at the same time?
2. I have many tables to do data moving. Any sugestions? How do I architect my project? If I create many data flows for each table - it will look complicated.
I have an Employee table with 3000 records and an Excel file having themodified data of those emplyoees. Some of the data of Excel may be sameas that of table data but some may differ. EmpId is the unique field.Other than this field, other fields of Excel may have modified data.Ineed to compare the data from SQL Server table with Excel Data.I decided to write a VB Program having two recordsets,one for SQLServer and other for Excel and compare each field's value. If themodified value is found then update that to table. Is there any way tocompare in SQL Server itself?Madhivanan
Hello All, I have two tables T1 and T2 with the same data structure. I need to compare T1 with T2 for all columns and update T2 for deleted, inserted and updated rows. How can I do this?
Short version: How would you accomplish comparing ALL the values in two tables wherein the PKs for each table are identical?
Long version: SQL Server 2000 database with two tables of identical structure having rows with some new data, some old data.* It's easy to determine which rows are 100% new by looking for PKs not in the old data. For the remaining rows, I need to make certain no rows have been modified. * Actually, there are hundreds of pairs of tables as described. The data comes from flat files, and I'd rather use the database than Perl in this case.
I can write code to generate the list of columns for each table and then query these as sets. Is there any other method that might work better?
I am not sure if this is the correct forum for my question but I will give it a shot. I want to be able to create a dataset from an ODBC datasource and compare it to existing data in my SQL DB. If there are changes (inserts/updates/deletes) I want to raise seperate events for each row state. Is this possible to do with SSIS/DTS or am I on the wrong track with what I am trying to do?
Can any one give a summary of difference between Data Stage and SSIS . we are in process of Migrating existing Jobs in Data Stage to SSIS .so i am prepareing a comparitive report between Data Stage and SSIS . help us pls
I have a requirement to compare data between two tables in SQL Server.
What is the fastest way to do it using SSIS? There are approx 6~7 millions of records in each table.
My solution: Read both the tables and store the data in Object Type variable. Then run an except query. But I am stuck at except query part. How do I implement it?
I am comparing two fields one from our legacy table and one in our new table structure that should have identical text data. The new field has an assortment of ANSI characters where the legacy data did not have these. Is there anything I can do that will ignore all ansi character differences? The only route I can think of is just do a replace on each ANSI type on the new column but there are quite a few character types.
I am currently in the process of migrating data from Sybase to Sql server and would like to know how to test the data migrated.
As of now, we took one table data from both source and destination and compared it in Excel to check if the data migrated looks good (note, we used SSIS to migrate data). However, I would like to check if there are any other best & easy ways to apprach data validation post migration.
Where interid in ('comp1', 'comp2', 'comp4', 'comp5')
what would be the best way to using these scripts pull the data to my testDW and not have duplicate data issues?
I was thinking of using a staging DB on the GP cluster and then building an import data package to run nightly. the issue i had was how do i avoid duplicate data ?
I am trying to migrate our Portals database from SQL2000 to SQL2005, but I received "SQL Type Variant Data" error during the data migration with some database. Can anyone help me with this?
I have data in tables with the constraints turn on. I would like to remove all the data from the tables and add new data, and also reset the identity back to 1, without dropping the constraints.
Any suggestions??
If I used truncate table, I would have to remove the primary key. If I remove the primary key I would loss my constraints.
I need to migrate data from Table 1 to Table 2 based on Type.
Type can be 1 or 2.
Example of Source.
Table 1 has
Id Type
1 1
2 1
3 1
3 2
Table 2 should have 2 records for each Id and based on the Type have different Part Numbers. Part numbers will be the same if in the Source table I had just one record with type 1 and if I had 2 records with type 1 and 2 - Part number will be different.
Example of Destination.
Id Type PartNumber
1 1 10
1 2 10
2 1 11
2 2 11
3 1 12
3 2 13
================================
As you see above
1. I need to duplicate records which had just one type in the Source table.
1 1 10
1 2 10
I will have 2 (1 and 2) types now, but everything else the same for the same id.
In my case I will have Part Numbers as guid. I would create them on my own. They will be the same here.
2. I need to have 2 records as it was before in Source table for id's with 2 types, but with different Part Numbers.
3 1 12
3 2 13
In my case I will have Part Numbers as guid. I would create them on my own.They will be different here.
How do I create 2 records for each Id and certain rules for them? How do I find if there is one or there are two records in Source and how do I apply my rules in looping through records? What control in SSIS tool can I use?
I need a sql server 7 script that will migrate data from my DEV dbase ON THE ALPHA SERVER to my WEB dbase ON THE BETA SERVER in a WINDOWS 2000 network. The data desired is for the field rig_id for rig number 0018. The shell of both dbases are similar. The table is called rig. An snapshot is below:
The rig table also exists on the WEB dbase. However, the Kaila data for rig_id number 0018 needs to be added to the WEB dbase's rig table. The Williams, Borsha, and Yoida data already exists on both tables.
I need to perform this migration w/ a TRANSACT-SQL stored procedure.
I have to migrate a database from 6.5 to 7.0 server. We don't have an upgrade wizard to i will have to do a turn around like :
> Scripting the objects > Running the scripts in 7.0 > BCP out the data into 7.0.
But the problem lies here ! how do i BCP the whole database table data in one shot ? bcos i have a lot of tables in the database and i cannot afford to do a table at a time. If anyone has any script which creates pl do pass it on to me.
I'm working on the data migration section of my project at the moment. The customer I'm working for has an existing system of storing client information in an Excel file. Now, I want to move all this information into SQL Server so my new webapp can access the information. The problem is, for the client details, I used an ID system. For example, each piece of client information can be selected from a list. In the client table, this is stored as an ID. Then I have a ReferenceItem table where the IDs are mapped to descriptions. So my Client table has numbers in it, that map to descriptions in a different table.
Now, the existing Excel files have the descriptions, not IDs. What I need to do is to write some kind of script that will automatically go through the table created after I imported the Excel file, check each description and find it's ID and replace that description with the ID.
Now, I don't even know where to start on this one so if anyone has any pointers, could they please let me know?
Please find the script for migration. Here I have attached two supporting documents. One is database diagram and the Excel sheet itself
