Hello. I have an information question. In my work I often have to
compare databases between releases in order to upgrade them to needed
version of software we developing.
And I am looking for software that could do that. It doesn't have to
be free, but have to be good.
I need to be able to compare table structures, amount of rows,
procedures, triggers.
I found one: Red Gate , but I am not sure that it is the best in the
market, and it is pretty expensive too.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
I am trying to use the Import Wizard to setup a daily job to import new records based on an ID field (PK). The source database is remote and a replica. I am inserting new records to update my table called the same thing. Both are SQL Native Client
Code Snippet select * from [CommWireless].[dbo].[iQclerk_SaleInvoicesAndProducts] as S1 join [IQ_REPLICA].[dbo].[iQclerk_SaleInvoicesAndProducts] as S2 on S1.SaleInvoiceID = S2.SaleInvoiceID where S1.SaleInvoiceID > S2.SaleInvoiceID
When I parse the query, I keep getting an error message.
Deferred prepare could not be completed. Statement(s) could not be prepared. Invalid object name 'IQ_REPLICA.dbo.iQ_SaleInvoicesAndProducts'. (Microsoft SQL Native Client)
Anyone know an easy why to get this to work? Or should I add a create table to verify new records?
i am making a transaction function for my website, when people transfer an amount from account A to account B, it should check the amount if account A has enough money to transfer. here is my codes, should i add an if statement before the tra.update()? how to write this codes? SqlDataSource tra = new SqlDataSource(); tra.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["shuliConnectionString"].ToString(); tra.UpdateCommand = "update account set balance=balance" + -Convert.ToDecimal(TextBox5.Text) + " where AccountNumber = '" + TextBox3.Text + "'"; tra.Update(); tra.UpdateCommand = "update account set balance=balance+" + Convert.ToDecimal(TextBox5.Text) + "where AccountNumber = '" + TextBox4.Text + "'"; tra.Update(); tra.InsertCommand = "insert into Transactions(TransactionType,AccountNumber,DestAccount,Amount,Comment,ModifyDate) values ('T','" + TextBox3.Text + "','" + TextBox4.Text + "','" + TextBox5.Text + "','" + TextBox2.Text + "','" + DateTime.Now.ToLocalTime() +"')"; int inertRowNum = tra.Insert(); Server.Transfer("deposit_withdraw_confirm.aspx");
Language : VB.NET Database : MSSQLserver2000 i have developed a tool to compare two databases, but it is taking long time to compare. First it will take the whole table into main memory(order by primary key). Same procedure for table2 of second database. Then it will start comparison by taking row by row. i tested with one third party tool, which is taking only 2 min to compare 800000 records of a table. My tool is taking 1 hour,40 mins to do that. Is there any other optimized method?
I have one databaseand I create new database by copy everything from first db I then alter some column on new database and now I would like to compare two databaseHow can I do it ?
We're using Sql Server 2000. The one database contained tables and stored procedures which were possibly updated with some script information. Is there an application(commercial or free) or script I can use to compare the base database against this updated database to confirm there schema information is the same.
Here's my scenario. I've got an web site that is going to allow access across two different domains. So I pull out the user name and domain with a split. At that point I want to say If user name = a value in bug_user table then redirect ~default.aspx Else redirect to other page. I'm kind of stuck. Here is what I got so far. Imports System.DataImports System.Data.SqlClientPartial Class MasterPage Inherits System.Web.UI.MasterPage Sub page_load() Dim user As System.Security.Principal.IPrincipal user = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User Dim username As String username = user.Identity.Name Dim namer As String Dim domain As String Dim firstname As String namer = username.Split("")(1) domain = username.Split("")(0) Dim objcon As ConnectionStringSettings = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("bug_trackerConnectionString") Dim str As String = objcon.ConnectionString Dim con As New SqlConnection(str) Dim com As New SqlCommand("", con)?????????????????????????? con.Open() com.commandText = "Select FirstName, LastName, Userid, Domain from bug_user" con.Close()??????????????????????? Between the question marks is where i start to get lost. I don't know how to look into the column Userid in the table bug_user table to see if my variable namer is present and I don't know where I should start my if statement. Thank for your help.
Can anyone recommend any utilities which compare 2 databases and report on the differences? A developer would like to compare the before/after images of a database once an upgrade has been applied.
He has looked at Red Gate ( http://www.red-gate.com/SQL_Data_Compare.htm ) and would like any recommendations about this product or any other.
Let us suppose that I have two similar databases and need to create ansql-script upgrating one database structure to another. For example, thesedatabases are from different versions of some software, first is from earlyversion, next is from current, and second one contains several new tables,sevelal new fields in old tables, several new or changed stored procedures,UDFs and so on.How to solve this problem using standard tools?
I have a SQL Server 2005 DB that contains a version number that is specific to its schema. I have an SSIS package that performs an export/import of user data. I need to be able to compare the DB version number of both the target and the source database before the migrate operation can continue. Does anyone know if there is a Control Flow Task (or some other task) to do such a thing or will I need to write a custom Script Task?
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hello, I am writing a website (in vb) to allow for room use reservations and I am looking for a way to compare the selected start and end times which are date-time format to records already in the database for that day/time and specific room. If the selected time does not fall within an already reserved time frame I then want to insert it into the table. I have already written a procedure to do the inserting and that works fine. I just want to validate it before calling the insert. Any ideas? The fields to be validated on the form are textboxes containing date time which populate as read only after the time selection is chosen from dropdown. Thanks in advance It's greatly appreciated.
We have three database server . Development, Test and Production. would appreciate if any body could receommend utilities/ways to compare apart from sqlcomp or ERWin
I need to pull dates from a DB2 database via TSQL (Linked server - IBM DB2 for i IBMDASQL OLE DB Provider) and compare it to today for a less than or greater than type comparison.
Database: DB2, Customer information housed here Columns: UTOFMM - Month (2 character, numeric) UTOFDD - Day (2 character, numeric) UTOFYY - Year (2 character, numeric. Problem: years from 2000 to 2009 are stored as 0, 1, 2, ... etc) UTOFCV - Century Value (2 char, numeric. Â 0 = before 2000, 1 = in or after 2000)
I need to concatenate the date to be "sql" friendly, and then compare to today's date. Â It's to find any customer with date values in the fields above, and then differentiate between dates before today and after today.Here is the snippet of what I'm trying to fix. Â This portion of a nightly job is just checking for <u>any</u> value in the UTOFMM column of the current record.
Add Customer ID Update [responder].[Temp_RX_CUSTOMERS] set CustomerID = lf.UTCSID from [responder].[Temp_RX_CUSTOMERS] LEFT Outer Join [HTEDTA].[THOR].[HTEDTA].UT210AP lf ON [responder].[Temp_RX_CUSTOMERS].LocationID = lf.UTLCID where lf.UTOFMM = 0 GO
I'm not a full-time DBA, so excuse my style of expressing my question.I have a database which has 2 tables in SQL 2005. Both these tables have similar column names, EXCEPT for new extra columns in FY2007_DATA. I can visually see the difference in columns in Database Diagrams. My goal is to :- I want to compare FY2007 tbl column names to FY2006 column names and display only those columns as results that do not match.Tbl 1 :- FY2006_DATA Tbl 2:-
FY2007_DATA
With online reading and help I have managed to get this script to do exactly opposite of what i want. Below is the query
/* This query compares the column names from two tables and displays the ones that have an exact match. It does not care for case-sensitiveness */
Select a.Table_Name, a.Column_Name, (b.Table_Name), (b.column_name) From [2006-2011].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns AS a Join [2006-2011].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns AS b on a.Column_Name = b.Column_Name Where a.TABLE_NAME = 'FY2006_DATA' And b.TABLE_NAME = 'FY2007_DATA' AND a.Column_Name IN (Select Column_Name = LEFT(c.column_name, 20) FROM [H1B_2006-2011].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Columns AS c WHERE c.TABLE_NAME = 'FY2007_DATA' )
When I change "AND a.Column_Name IN.." to "AND a.Column_Name NOT IN.." so that the results will (should) display the extra columns in FY2007, in fact I do not see any results, but query executes perfect.
I have created Database projects in VS 2013 using SSDT. I have been mostly successful in creating and building the projects without any errors/warnings.
However for one of the databases in the project, when i do schema compare to apply the changes from a SQL Server Database to a Database Project in VS, code changes are not applied to the database project.
After i select the Update option in Schema compare window, I'm getting the following message
"Target update complete. Press Compere to refresh the comparison."
Even tough the message implies that target database is updated successfully, I do not see the objects i selected in schema compare being added to the target database project.
I see the following warning
"Target update: Could not update script for element 'dbo'"
I have 9 Database projects in the Solution and I'm able to apply changes to 8 of the database projects through schema compare successfully. I get the same warning after schema compare for all database projects.
I have same project level setting for all database projects in the solution. I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Premium Update 5 SQL Server Data Tools 12.0.41012.0
I have a database project where objects have been pulled in from the database using schema compare.
Unfortunately CDC tables which are referenced in stored procedures on the database have not been pulled in by the schema compare & hence I cannot build the project and deploy changes back to the database.
Hi everybody.. need help on this situation which i am to.
I have two databases named db1 and db2 both of which has two identical tables named tbl1 and tbl2
I need to compare tbl1 of db1 to the tbl2 of db2 if there is a record that is existing on tbl1 and not on the tbl2 then i need to create a tblnew on db2 from that tblnew then i need to append all the data from tblnew to tbl2 of db2.
I don't know how to start with it because i'm used to appending data on two tables on the same database but not on a different one...
when I'm in MediaImportLog , I want use column ImportSource to compare with column ChainCode in table BillerChain ( so I get BillerInfoCode) and then use the BillerInfoCode I got to compare with column BillerCode in Table Bill ( I get CompanyCode) finally I use CompanyCode to compare with column CompanyCode in table DataBackup so I can get the company's keepmonth How can I get the keepmonth? can I use parameters ?
I receive the input file with some 100 columns and some 20k+ rows and I want to check the incoming input row is existed in the database or not based on 2 key columns. If the row is existed then I need to check all the columns (nearly 100 columns) values in input and the database are equal or not. If both are equal I need to treat them seperately if not there is a seperate logic. How Can I do that check for each row and for each column?
Basically the algorithm is like this, if the input file row is not existed in the database then treat that as new row else if the input row is existed in the database then check all the columns are equal or not. If all the columns are equal then treat that as existing row and do nothing else if some columns are not equal then treat this row seperately.
I found some thing to achieve the above thing. 1. Take the input row and check in the database. 2. If the row is not found in the database then treat it as new row. 3. If row is found in the database then a) Take the source row and prepare a concatenated string for all the columns b) Take the database row and prepare a concatenated string for all the columns c) Find out the hash code for the 2 strings and then compare hash codes for equal.
The disadvantage of this is running a loop 2*m*n times where m is the number of rows and n is the number of columns. It should be done 2 times for input file row and database row.
Can anybody suggest a good method to do this?
What does the function "GetHashCode" for InputBuffer in method "Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)" will do? Will it generates hash code based on all the columns values?
what I want to achieve is to load a text file that has email addreses from disk and using the email addresses in the text file look it up against the email addresses in the database table then once matched delete all the users in the table whose email address were in the text file.
I also want to update some users using a different text file.
I remember reading that you can compare the schema of 2 databases to see if there are any diferences. For the life of me, I can not remember where I read it or what it is called. Any help would be great!
If we use operator < <= > >= to compare NON nummeric, then how it is being compared..? what it returns? eg : .... WHERE someObj1.UniqueX <= someObj2.UniqueX
public string Compare(StoredProcedure storedTarget)
{ string storedScript = string.Empty; if (storedTarget.RoutineDefinition != this.RoutineDefinition) { // string storedScript = (@"ALTER PROCEDURE ); <--- How can i put new stored procedure ?????? What is sql code for this work ? } } Thank You all sql guru s
I have an application that writes records with a timestamp to an sql table.
I wish to compare the values in each field and see if they have changed from the previous record and then delete if they haven't. Can anyone offer a script or procedure to do this please?
