Database Tables Etc Vanishing?
Dec 15, 2005
Hi
I create a database in SQL Express using the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, with tables etc.
I connect to it from my VB Express .NET application. Any changes I make, like adding a new table from VB .NET Express causes all the tables to 'vanish' when viewing the Database in the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, the database is still listed there. Does anyone know why?
Also it cannot be edited there again it gives an error?
Also if I create a DB in VB .NET Express the database does not appear in the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, which makes backups etc not available. It is saved to a drive location, but not the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData location, any ideas what is happening?
Regards.

thats funny sometimes i perform a select query and itll work then other times a category would disapear from results , strange thing is during those times when i edit that field that disapears to be any random word that doesnt exisit, itll still seccusfuly run just not showing that field
e.g
select fname,sname

sometimes will only show
fname...
and if i change it to
select fname, gibirish
from family
note: gibirsh is any made up word
it wont be affected it wont fail and itll still just return fname

I have a function that returns a table of information aboutresidential properties. The main input is a property type anda location in grid coordinates. Because I want to get only acertain number of properties, ordered by distance from thelocation, I get the properties from a cursor ordered by distance,and stop when the number is reached. (Not really possible todetermine the distance analytically in advance.) The cursor alsoinvolves joins to a table of grid coordinates vs. postcodes (theproperties are identified mainly by postcode), and to a tablethat maps the input property type into what types to search for.Opening the cursor typically results in the creation of six toeight parallel threads, and takes approx 1 second, which is abouthalf of the total time for the function.Recently the main property table grew from 4 million to 6.5million records, and suddenly the parallelism is lost. Takingthe identical code and executing it as a script gives parallelism.Turning it into a SP that inserts into a #temp table and thenselects * from that table as the last statement also givesparallelism. But when it's in the form of a function, there isonly one thread -- and the execution time has gone from ~2 secto ~8 sec. I updated the statistics on the table, but stillno parallelism.I could turn it into a SP easily enough, but that would involvea change to the C++ program that calls it, which takes a whileto get through the pipeline. In the meantime, is there some wayto induce the optimizer to use parallelism? It used to.

I'm working on an ASP.Net project where I want to test code on a localmachine using a local database as a back-end, and then export it tothe production machine where it uses the hosting provider's SQL Serverdatabase on the back-end. Is there a way to export tables from oneSQL Server database to another in such a way that if a table alreadyexists in the destination database, it will be updated to reflect thechanges to the local table, without existing data in the destinationtable being lost? e.g. suppose I change some tables in my localdatabase by adding new fields. Can I "export" these changes to thedestination database so that the new fields will be added to thedestination tables (and filled in with default values), without losingdata in the destination tables?If I run the DTS Import/Export Wizard that comes with SQL Server andchoose "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the source database" and choosethe tables I want to copy, there is apparently no option *not* to copythe data, and since I don't want to copy the data, that choice doesn'twork. If instead of "Copy table(s) and view(s) from the sourcedatabase", I choose "Copy objects and data between SQL Serverdatabases", then on the following options I can uncheck the "CopyData" box to prevent data being copied. But for the "CreateDestination Objects" choices, I have to uncheck "Drop destinationobjects first" since I don't want to lose the existing data. But whenI uncheck that and try to do the copy, I get collisions between theproperties of the local table and the existing destination table,e.g.:"Table 'wbuser' already has a primary key defined on it."Is there no way to do what I want using the DTS Import/Export Wizard?Can it be done some other way?-Bennett

I am new to SSIS. I have been struggling with this for the past one week. I have a weird task. I need to import several tables from one database to a different server with a new database name. We need to do this at the end of every year. The main problem here is that the number of tables varies every year. You may not have all the tables as last year or may have more tables. So I need to create a dynamic task that takes care of this every year without changing the package.
I have performed the following tasks **
1. Create a new dynamic database. ( I have used Execute SQL Task to do this) 2. Copy all the table structures ( I have used Execute SQL Task to do this)
3. Import Data. This is the main problem. I was trying to create a dynamic connection string with variables as suggested in several forums but I finally came to know that this cannot be done if the table structures are different as the metadata cannot be refreshed at runtime.
4. The final step to create a process to validate the data (the count from each table for both source and destination. I think this can be done with Sql task.
What is the best method to do this? My DBA does not like “Transfer SQL Objects Task” or “transfer Database Task”. I would like to create this as a dynamic process.

In SSMS, I connect Object Explorer to a partially contained database using a contained user login with password. This user has a database role of dbdatareader. When I try to expand the Tables in the database, I get the error:
The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'extended_properties', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 229)
Is there a way to set permissions for the contained user so that this could be done?

I'm using SQL Server Management Studio Express and I'm trying to figure out how to copy a table(s) from my local database to my web hosting database. I know how to do it in 2000, but it's completely different now. Is this feature not allowed on SSMSE? If so, then how do I deploy database tables to a web host?Also, how do you add local database(s) to SSMSE? I tried to use 'attach database' in SSMSE and it wouldn't allow me to navigate to My Documents folder where the database resides. Thanks...

I am fairly new to VS 2005 and SQL Server CE. I have developed a Desktop Windows application using VB 2005 and the SQL Compact Edition Database. This application will sell to users via web download.
When they download a service patch, or updated version, I wish for them to retain the data in their present database. In other words, fill the new database with the old data. The new table structures will remain intact except for added columns at the end.
Question is how to save the old data and update the new database with it. Is there an easy way to do this, or do I need to write a module to save a database copy, and update the new database with content at install time?

I have two Databases with the same name that reside in different servers. The two servers are linked servers. Each database consists of 5 Tables. The tables have identical names in each database.
The database in ServerA has 5 tables with data, the database in ServerB also has 5 tables with the same schema as ServerA, however the 5 identical tables in ServerB contain no data.
I need to populate the 5 tables in ServerB with the Data from the 5 tables in ServerA.
What SQL code or script can i use to populate the 5 tables in ServerB
Below are the names of the 5 tables:
TABLE1: [ServerB].[ProdDB].dbo.[Orders]
TABLE2: [ServerB].[ProdDB].dbo.[Sales]
TABLE3: [ServerB].[ProdDB].dbo.[Employee]
TABLE4: [ServerB].[ProdDB].dbo.[Customer]
TABLE5: [ServerB].[ProdDB].dbo.[Region]
Does any one have a script that could help me with this task. Thanks

Hi there,
I am having difficulties in importing table from one sql server database file to another sql server database file.
A few months ago, I converted access file to ms sql express file. I had made many changes on the ms sql express file, however, the data in this file isn't the latest as the old system is still being used. Now, I want to deploy my new system, I need to import in necessary tables from the old system database, as well as, I want to retain the tables and data I created on the ms sql express file that I have been using so far for development and testing.
May I know how to import tables from other database? Just as in ms access where we can import tables from other access file. I'm using sql express 2005 and sql server management tool. Any advice/help is very much appreciated.
Thanks....
