Hi all,
sorry for the rather trivial question but I couldn't figure this out by
myself.
How do you export a db schema either from the commandline or from the
GUI (if I remember correctly it's called Management Studio in the new
version).
Thanks in advance,
Lorenzo
I need to export tables/views/stored procs and user functions from one DB to another on a regular schedule. It would be good if I can make a deployable application so that it can be scheduled with sql agent.
I tried to use DTSWizard with Management studio but it does not seem to export stored procedures. Can someone walk me though this ?
Thankyou
Hey folks,
I am looking for a way to export the DDL for table objects from MS SQL 2K. In EM you can right click a table, select "All Tasks" then "Generate SQL". When you preview the script, you can copy it to the text editor of your choice and save it. I'd like to find a way to do this programatically - either through TSQL commands or DTS would be best. I'm OK to do VBScript w/in DTS but I'm not up to writing a full blown VB app.
I seem to remember in my Sybase days that there was a utility called "defncopy" that could be used to extract DDL but there seems to be no analogue in MS SQL 2K.
The purpose of all this is to extract the data and schema of a table in ASCII text so that we can zip it and burn to CD for archiving purposes.
Any help appreciated!
Hi,
Not sure if this is a simple question...
I would like to export the schema of my database to allow me to print it out in an easily viewable form ( preferably in to visio ). Is this possible, perhaps through a wizard so i can just show the primary / secondary keys of the tables and how they all link ?
Many thanks for your responses.
Well I have NO IDEA how to do this... so I'll just admit my ignorance up front.
Anyway I have some customer records that need to be sent off for mailing.
The printing company takes XML files.
They provided me with an XML Schema (.xsd file)
I need to take the data in my table and export it to an .xml file to send off.
I tried doing something like this at first:
WITH XMLNAMESPACES (DEFAULT 'urn:blah.blah.blah...')
SELECT *
FROM
(SELECT CONVERT(varchar, GetDate(),120) AS submit_date,
'999999' AS client_billing_id,
customers.FirstNm AS customer_first_name,
customers.LastNm AS customer_last_name,
.....blah...additional fields..
FROM customers
) As Offset
FOR XML RAW ('Customer'), ROOT('CustomerMailingList'), ELEMENTS
Now that worked pretty well, it gave me a file that was formatted in what appeared to be the proper XML style, and I could save it and it "looked right".
However, the printers said there were a few errors and sent back a .XSD schema file for me to use.
Sounds great... but I haven't a clue on how to use it.
I've seen a few articles on how to manage existing schemas and how to store data IN the database, but nothing on how to EXPORT data.
As I understand it I just want to take data in my customers table and use the schema as a template / file mapping document to dump it out to XML.
So... help? :)
Thanks
This is a totally newbie question, but...
I've create a database, I'm able to script the schema to a query window, file, etc.
I can't for the life of me find out how to export my data so that it is scripted into insert statements. The data is standardized lists of data I will be distributing with the DB.
For those of you familiar with mySQL, this would be the output of the mysqldump command which dumps schema and data all into one file
mysqldumb <db> -u user -p > mydatafile.txt
thanks,

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 have a problem with unicode character 0x2300
I created this table
create table testunicode (Bez nchar(128))
Insert Data
insert into testunicode (Bez)values('’')
with 2 Unicode characters
= 0x2300
’ = 0x2122
Selecting the data
select Bez from testunicode
I see
"?’"
’ = 0x2122 is ok but instead of 0x2300 there is 0x3f
When I modify the insert statement like that ( 8960 = 0x2300 )
insert into testunicode (Bez)values(NCHAR(8960)+'’')
and select again voila i see
"’"
Does anyone have an idea?

I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Thanks!!
how to export data from sqlserver to excel

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000.
Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express? The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection.
If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration? Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is:
server name: "machinename"( or ip). I've also tried "machiname/SQLEXPRESS"
DB name: name of db instance
port: 1433(default)
user and pass.
My attempts so far results in
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket."
and
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Unable to connect. Invalid URL."
Hello,
I have an SQLServer Mobile database, and I would like to know if there is a way to upgrade it to SQLServer 2005 (.mdf) database. My database has no records in it, just the structure (tables etc). What I am actually asking is if I can create automatically a new SQLServer 2005 Database with the same structure as my existin SQLSErver Mobile database

Hello people.
I am in the process of planning a server upgrade to sql2005 x64.
I created 2 linked servers: one to a SQL2000 sp4 server and one to a SQL7.0 SP3.
I have the following error when I query the linked servers.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "Unspecified error".
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "The stored procedure required to complete this operation could not be found on the server. Please contact your system administrator.".
Msg 7311, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
I am aware of KB 906954.

I applied the instcat.sql on the SQL2000SP4 server and my linked server issues for that one are gone.
However, I ran the instcat.sql script on the SQL7.0 sp3 server and the linked server is still giving me an issue.
Can someone help me find a solution to this?

I just upgraded from SQL 2000 to 2005 and have been reading up on the new 2005 schemas and how they can be used to simplify assigning permissions, etc. I started experimenting yesterday with a dummy database and ran into a few issues in which I have questions. Note, I am wanting to use Windows authentication as much as possible where end users will be accessing the database via a mapped Windows group. Based on what I've read thus far on the net this presents an issue in that users who access the database via a mapped windows group are not assigned a default schema.
My concern with migrating to using schemas for protecting objects is the potential for breaking existing applications based on the way objects are referenced in code. Most of the existing code simply references the object only ...such as 'mytable' vice 'dbo.mytable'. If I understand SQL 2005 schemas correctly if only the object is referenced in code (i.e. 'mytable') then SQL 2005 looks in the sys schema first then the dbo schema, etc. in attempt to find the object. Basically it defaults to the dbo schema. But issue I forsee is if I used a custom schema ('MySchema') coupled with users accessing the database via a mapped windows group. This is supposedly where a default schema cannot be assigned ...and since db objects won't reside in the 'dbo' schema the SQL won't be able to locate the referenced objects (I.e. 'mytable') and will in turn break applications?
If my assumptions above are correct then it would appear I have limited choices. Use the 'dbo' schema for everything ...or abandon schemas entirely?
I have SQL Server 2005 Express set up on a PC. I imported a backup of an MSDE database. All of the database objects are there. However, I need to assign permissions to my Stored Procedures. So, using Management Studio Express, I saw absolutely no way of adding a stored procedure to a schema or to a user. So I downloaded SQL Server 2005 Developer from my MSDN account. I installed the client tools to get the full version of Management Studio. Same thing. No way to add permissions to a SP. Some web articles say to right-click the SP and select Properties. However, there is no "Properties" in the right-click menu!!! There is only Rename, Delete, Modify, etc. How can something so easy with an old product be so difficult with a new one? Does anyone know how to accomplish adding permissions to SPs?I can right-click a table or a View and get the popup window with the list view and contents to set permissions to tables and views.
View 7 Replies View RelatedHello,
In general, with the introduction of schemas in 2005, is it considered "bad practice" to tell people to create new tables in the "dbo" schema?
Our product documentation contains a "quick start" guide for users who just want to get the product up and runing. We suggest that the customer creates a database for our application. This database is configured with a user that is assigned to the 'db_owner' role (we want to keep things as simple as possible) that we use to connect to the database. This database will only be used by our application. In this situtation is it okay to use the "dbo" schema, or should we consider creating another schmea for all our tables?
Are the any "best practices" for using schemas in SQL 2005?
Thanks,
Brenden.
A database was created in SQL 2000. We are going to move to sql 2005. So I attached a database to SQL 2005 and now I have a problem with name resolution. When I worked with SQL 2000 I did not put my schema's name before table name (select * from table1). The schema's name is my user name (IQA) and by default the schema name is a name of user who loged in. (in 2000)
Here is a problem with SQL 2005. The schema's name is still IQA. But I need to do select * from IQA.table1.
I created IQA login and IQA user is an onwer my IQA schema but I still can not do a select without schema name. I need to resolve this because VB.Net code has all select statement without schema's name. Need help!!!
I am using sql server 2005 express. When I created a new database my schema name was dbo and my stored procedures looks like this:
dbo.sp_name
Now when I am creating new sp:s my schema name has change to DOMAINUsername:
DOMAINUsername.sp_name
My webb application cant find any sp:s with this schema name and I don't now how to change schema name back to dbo. What has happened, what is this schema name and why has my schema name been changed!? Please help me out!
Information Schema is the part of the SQL-92 standard which exposes the metadata of the database. I have written a small article that exposes the same. Let me know your comments on the same. http://aspalliance.com/1380_Information_Schema_and_SQL_Server_2005

Refer my articles at http://aspalliance.com/author.aspx?uId=62740
i notice there is a nice little report that is maintaining all schema changes, this is becoming rather large.
Is there a way to tidy up the changes on a weekly basic.
Thanks
Hi Group,(I am just starting with SQL Server 2005.)On SQL Server 7 I used often the nice relation schema, where I used todraw out the whole database, especially the Foreign Keys constraints.I found these relational schemas very handy to study an old database Ibuild a few years earlier that needs some updating.I tried to find such an utility in SQL Server 2005, but cannot find it.I did found the FK-constraints, but it is just an popup where I candefine them.The overview such a visual schema gave was really great and I miss it.Question: Is it gone in SQL Sevrer 2005, or do I just not know where tolook? If the latter, please guide me. :)Thanks for your time.Regards,Erwin Moller

I have been asked to grant a Windows group Full access to all tables under our Sandbox Schema. This will allow these users to do anything to the tables under this Schema.
I created the Windows Group (Sandbox Users), created the login in SQL, created the user in the database that is tied to the Windows group, then ran GRANT CONTROL ON SCHEMA::[Sandbox] TO [Sandbox Users].
I have verified that the users are in the Windows group, but they state that they still can not delete tables under the Sandbox Schema.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

I NEED HELP! Does anyone know how to remove a database schema from SQL Server 2005 using C#? I have a web application that deletes users. In SQL2k, I am able to simply delete the users. In SQL2005, I must delete or alter the schema BEFORE I can delete the users. Of course, the query below works, but how can I get this to work in code for a web application?
USE EAST_USERS
DROP SCHEMA "plijsmith"
Thanks
