View 5 Replies View RelatedChoices For Duplicating Database
Aug 22, 2006I am developing an application that uses SQL Server 2000 for the back end. I am at the stage where some modules in the app can be tested while I finish development on some others. I run my own tests against SQL Server running on my own PC but for other people to test I have set up another server with SQL Server 2000 and have restored my database there.
My question is as follows:
I would like any changes to my database (structure and data) to be replicated on the test server's database (not necessarily immediately, but without much delay). I've heard the buzz words (log shipping, replication, etc) but would like some advice on the best way to proceed.
At the moment I don't need any data back from the test server and I don't particularly care if test data on that server is lost although these may become issues later on.
Duplicating Permissions Of A Database Role
Jan 20, 2004thanks for reading.
i would like to create a new database role that has exactly the same permissions as an existing database role. the combinations of permissions are complicated enough to make this a time consuming task worthy of a script of some sort. any suggestions?
i'm running SQL Server 2000 and can't find anything about copying roles unless it's through DTS from one DB to another. not sure if this is applicable to basically duplicating and renaming a role in one database.
in case you're wondering why anyone would want to do this you may not be surprised to know that it's a government thing. some policy about differentiating between 2 roles -- even though they currently have exactly the same permissions, the similarities might change in the future.
thanks in advance for your input.
Duplicating Databases
Feb 12, 2004Ok. Here is what I need to do. I don't even know if it is possible. I have a production server and a db backup server. In a perfect world, I want to be able to place a copy of my databases (users and all) on the backup server and have it update (all changes) regularly.
I messed with DTS but it errors out because I don't have user accounts set up on the backup server. (I'm not entirely sure it does anything I want to do anyway)
Can anyone help me find a clue?

Duplicating Db Structure Without Data
Oct 28, 2004i have a database on one server that I want to duplicate on a new server. I do not want to copy the data only the structure.
I created some SQL scripts from the current db as I have read that is what I should do.
My question is where do I use this script on my new server to create the new tables etc..
Do i use the import feature. Where do I run my sql script?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutomatically Duplicating Table Data In 2 Databases
Jun 3, 2015I am very well versed on manipulating data using passthrough queries through access or the command object in ADO/VBA but this problem requires a sql server side solution and I have been assigned the task
Scenario
Access via an ODBC link cannot view Sql table data that uses a BigInt as a primary key. Access can update the data, insert data ands delete data to these tables - but viewing (by design) returns the actual count of the rows but each field is populated with #deleted.
I can view the table data if I use a passtyhrough query but performing row level and field level edits from there is impossible. Not all people have Studio manager so that is not an option.
We are moving away from our legacy application and the development company has already developed the schema using the BigInt so changing that to a numeric or integer is out of the question. My boss has determined that using a set of bridge tables with identical tables in a different database where we replace the bigint with int will work - we can view the data in the "bridged" database and even update it from select queries and simply by opening the table in view mode from Access.
Here is the hard part (for me) because I have never done this. I can write SQL and understand the security/roles etc, but I have never administered SQL server regarding server side triggers and stored procedures - I have always used the command object or passthrough queries to deal with sql stored procedures. I need to either
A)Create some trigger behind the tables in my bridge table that will fire a stored procedure to replicate the data to the bigint database. They are both on the same sever.
B)Somehow create a "mirror" that always replicates from my bridge database tables (5 of them) to the new database.
Duplicating Rows Based On A Integer Column
Dec 17, 2007I have a table that holds a number of offers made to a orginization for placements at a lecture. what im wanting to do is have each of the rows for a orginization repeated so that the names of people attending can be put into the database.
The first table would looks something like this:
id___|__orginization_| lecture | offers
1 | orga | lec1 | 5
2 | orgb | lec1 | 3
3 | orga | lec2 | 3
the result im looking to get is something like this where the name of the attendess would be inputed in an application.
id | orginization | lecture | nameofattende
1 | orga | lec1 | j. blog
2 | orga | lec1 | s. smith
3 | orga | lec1 | h. samual
4 | orga | lec1 | j. sams
5 | orga | lec1 | b.j. james

Getting Id Values From Both Source And Target Rows When Duplicating Records

OSQL Unicode Insert Of ^F (Hex 06) From Registry Multi-String Value Is Duplicating In DB
Jul 26, 2005I'm using a Unicode sql script imported using OSQL. One of the valueswe are attempting to insert is a Registry Multi-String value by passinga string to a stored procedure. These Multi-String values appear to bedelimited by a Hex 06 (^F) character. When I import this character,embedded in a string preceeded by an N, i.eN'somethingsomething2something3'I end up with TWO of this character in the db. I get :somethingsomething2something3Any help figuring out why or how to fix this? We MUST use Unicode dueto extended character sets, so NOT using Unicode is NOT a solution.
View 1 Replies View RelatedT-SQL (SS2K8) :: How To Introduce New Select / Join From Another Table Without Duplicating Original Data
Feb 19, 2015I built a query that brings in 'Discounts' (bolded) to the Order detail by using the bolded syntax below. I started off by running the query without the bolded lines and got exactly what I was looking for but without the ‘Discount’ column. When I tried to add the ‘Discount’ into the query, it duplicated several order lines. Although total ‘Discount’ column ties out to the total amount expected in that column, ‘Total Charges’ are now several times higher than before.
For example, I get 75 records when I run without the bolded syntax and I get several hundred results back when adding back in the bolded syntax when i should still be getting 75 records, just with an additional column ‘PTL Discount’ subtotaled.My question is, how to I introduce a new select or join from another table without duplicating the original data?
select
first_stop.actual_departure ‘Start'
, last_stop.actual_departure 'End'
, last_stop.city_name 'End city'
, last_stop.state 'End state'
, last_stop.zip_code 'End zip'

SQL Server 2012 :: Adding Count To Query Without Duplicating Original Select Query
Aug 5, 2014I have the following code.
SELECT _bvSerialMasterFull.SerialNumber, _bvSerialMasterFull.SNStockLink, _bvSerialMasterFull.SNDateLMove, _bvSerialMasterFull.CurrentLoc,
_bvSerialMasterFull.CurrentAccLink, _bvSerialMasterFull.StockCode, _bvSerialMasterFull.CurrentAccount, _bvSerialMasterFull.CurrentLocationDesc,

_bvSerialNumbersFull.SNWarehouseID, _bvSerialNumbersFull.TransAccount, _bvSerialNumbersFull.TransTypeDesc,
[code]...
However, as you can see, the original select query is run twice and joined together.What I was hoping for is this to be done in the original query without the need to duplicate the original query.
SQL2005 Cannot Backup A Restored SQL2000 Database With Unknow Database Full-text Catalog Database
Nov 15, 2007
We replicate a SQL2000 database (DataBaseA) to a SQL2000 database (DataBaseB) by using the Restore function and hasn't change its logical name but only the physical data path and file name. It is running fine for a year. We use the same way to migrate the DataBaseB to a new SQL2005 server with the Restore function and the daily operation is running perfect. However, when we do the Backup of DatabaseB in the SQL2005, it just prompt the error message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of full-text catalog 'DataBaseA' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please note we left the DataBaseA in the old SQL2000 server.
Please help on how we can delete the Full-text catalog from DatabaseB so we can do a backup
Many Thanks

Sep 9, 2015I 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.
Migrating From Sql2000 MSDE Database To Sql2005 Express - Attach Database Errors
Apr 23, 2006I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.
Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:
Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them. But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?
Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?
