Export Schema/DDL

Mar 17, 2004

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!

Export Schema

Jun 1, 2007

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.

Need To Use An XML Schema To Export Data... Help

Mar 20, 2008

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

Export Schema And Data

Mar 10, 2006

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,

-David

SQL Tools :: Is There A Way To Export Database Schema To HTML

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?

The 'System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider' Requires A Database Schema Compatible With Schema Version '1'.

Sep 27, 2007

Locally I develop in SQL server 2005 enterprise. Recently I recreated my db on the server of my hosting company (in sql server 2005 express).I basically recreated the tables and copied the data in it.I now receive the following error when I hit the DB:The 'System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider' requires a
database schema compatible with schema version '1'. However, the
current database schema is not compatible with this version. You may
need to either install a compatible schema with aspnet_regsql.exe
(available in the framework installation directory), or upgrade the
provider to a newer version.I heard something about running aspnet_regsql.exe, but I dont have that access to the DB. Also I dont know if this command does anything more than creating the membership tables and filling it with some default data...Any other solutions/thought on what this can be?Thanks!

Moving Data From One DB Schema To Another DB Schema Using SSIS

May 8, 2007

Hello,

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.

Please give me some advices here.

Thanks.

BCP Export Has CHR(0) In Export File

Mar 28, 2008

Hello,

I am using BCP to export a Table to a TAB delimited file. This works great, but in some fields a NULL in the Table is being exported as a character zero in the Tab file. I confirmed this by looking at the Tab file with a Hex editor.

I am using the BCP options -T c -S.

Thanks for any ideas how to eliminate the chr(0).

What Does Schema Mean?

Aug 26, 2005

I know in SQL Server the terms Database and Catalog are usedinterchangably. But a table is also assigned a schema. As seen in theINFORMATION_SCHEMA.Tables View. I don't get what this schema qualifieris all about. Like if a table has a schema of dbo.Can someone explain the relationship the schema has and what it is?Thanks.

Schema Changes

Nov 8, 2006

I have setup merge replication between two machines and the data seems to be updating when changed on either side ok. However I am now looking at how I can handle schema changes. I have found on msdn (although not tried) stored procedures that will add and remove columns, but what happens if I want to delete a table for example.

At the moment I can deselect the table being deleted from being published and then delete it or modify it in Management Studio, which then means I need to create a new snapshot which can take sometime before the change is updated on the subscriber.

Is there a better way to tackle schema updates that I have not found yet? Also, how will the subscriber cope if someone starts modifying data while synchronisation to the new snapshot is going on.

I am using SQL 2005 by the way.

Thanks

John

Schema Problems

Nov 19, 2006

I wrote a website that hits an SQL Server DB using queries that directly acces the table name with no Schema references. (Ex: SELECT * FROM tblHelpNotes;) I have also backed the file and and somehow (I have forgotten how I managed to import it.) imported it into SQL Server Express to run at home. The problem I am having is that in order to query at home I HAVE to use the Schema or it won't work. (Ex: SELECT * FROM dbo123456.tblHelpNotes;) How can I change this so I can just hit the table directly? I have tried miserable to set up a user that uses the default schema of db123456 but I can't seem to get it to work. Any idea's to point me in the right direction?

Using Star Schema

Dec 27, 2004

Hi,

I have tried the following out and would appreciate feedback from experienced users regarding if the following is a good/bad approach:

After bring all the data in my Data Mart, I have created a view which has all the data in a big flat table (totally unnormalized). Then based on this BIG FLAT UNNORMALIZED VIEW :) I have created my various dimensions using the 1st option i.e. Star Schema.

Based on the little testing that I have done, I seem to be getting the correct results across various dimensions... However, can someone kindly comment on this approach and the pros/cons.

Survey DB Schema

Dec 12, 2004

I am trying to modify a survey DB schema created by OOP(Object Oriented Programming) snobs who had their heads so far up their butts(in my opinion).
This is current schema created by them.

Diagram 1 (OOP snobs version)
http://us.f3.yahoofs.com/users/41a4fde6zcff655d9/a2ae/__sr_/2761.jpg?phsEJvBB3t1v7URD

Actually there aren't a several foreign keys as they are shown in the picture, but that's what they(OOP snobs) are doing to the table "Response". They are inserting question_collection_id and its name as well as question_id and its name to Response table. However, it was not ill-intended, "We just wanted to load the report quickly"(OOP snobs).
But I really recommend this schema, Because of its simplicity.

Diagram 2 (My version)
http://us.f3.yahoofs.com/users/41a4fde6zcff655d9/a2ae/__sr_/e890.jpg?phrEJvBBF0.lGY5Y

Yet I haven't proven that my schema will provide report just as quickly as OOP snobs' version. As mentioned earlier, since they don't have foreign key constraints accordingly, I do find quite number of discrepancy on values of "question" columns between "Question" and "Response" tables and "question_collection" columns between "question_collection" and "Response" table. I can provide schedule task to eliminate those problems. But I really prefer my schema than theirs. So far, I can explain mine is better just because of its simplicity and DBA's gut instinct. I'd like to hear Superior Expert's opinion which schema is better and why one is better than the other.

Attached is also zip files of schema images if you can't see them by those URL.
