Data Structure -- It's Been A While
Jul 20, 2005Ok, I haven't been doing too much database work lately and my brain has gonesoft.I need some help with proper structure.My database is being used to track television shows.Any given show will be associated with at least one production company (callit ProdCo) but possibly up to 3 production companies (never more than that).I have:tblNetworkNetID (numeric, Identity)NetName (char, 50)tblShowDataBookingNum (numeric, Identity)BookingNumExt (numeric, Identity)Now, if I was just dealing with one ProdCo I would add it tblShowData as aforeign key from tblNetwork; no problem.How do I structure it so that I can combine 1 to 3 ProdCo's as one referencein tblShowData.I tried:tblNetworkComboID (numeric, Identity)Net1Net2Net3The problem is, obviously I can only join the FK from tblNetworks to one ofthe NetX fields in tblNetworkCombo.I don't quite know where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.

Jun 28, 2012I have a sql server 2008 backend with an Access 2007 frontend database. Each time I export a query I get the following error:
Code:
Microsoft Access was unable to append all the data to the table.
The contents of fields in 0 record(s) were deleted, and 1 record(s) were lost due to key violations.
*If data was deleted, the data you pasted or imported doesn't match the field data types or the FieldSize property in the destination table.
*If records were lost, either the records you pasted contain primary key values that already exist in the destination table, or they violate referential integrity rules for a relationship defined between tables. Do you want to proceed anyway?
I don't know what if anything is actually missing because of the amount of data is more thant 6000 records. It seems everything exported but I would have to comb through the data to be sure.
Exporting Data From A Merge Join From One Data Flow To Another
Mar 1, 2006Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to point data that underwent the "merge join" transformation (in one data flow) to the following data flow? I don't want to recreate all that merging, sorting and calling the same sources again in the following data flow if the data that I am using exists in the previous data flow. The merged data is simply too big to export to an excel file, so does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
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?

Nov 14, 2014I have a database (MSSQL). To demonstrate the problem let me show a fictive Tablestructure. I don't want to discuss about how to save the data differntly, because the structure is fix and I can't change it.To get this result I would do a sql query with a lot of joins like that:
SELECT firstname, lastname, email.value, phone.value
FROM Customer
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT Customer_Properties.id, Customer_Properties.value

I don't think that this is really performant and the SQL-Queries get very complicated. Give it a other methode for that? I can't change the data structure.

Replicating Structure Only Not Data
Dec 1, 2006I have a SQL 2005 database that I am using with a website. This basic website will be sold to other companies and ran on their servers with different URLs. Since, All of these databases will store different data, I'm not sure how I can make updates to original database and replicate those structure changes to the other DBs without changing the data also. Is there a way to automate the replication of structural DB changes without replicating the data along with it?

View 7 Replies View RelatedQuestion On Data/structure Restore
Sep 20, 2006new to SQL Server 2000. We have an obsolete database that we need to
save off for x number of years. DB2 has utilities (DB2Look/Export)
that allows for the export of the data along with a schema and script
that enables the future recreation of the structure of the databases
and tables to include RI etc. You can save off the architecture and
relationships of the tables as well as the data.
Does SQL Server have anything similar?
Failing that, our plan is to backup the data and logs then image the entire disk.
Thanks in advance.

Copying Data And Structure From One Database To Another
Jul 23, 2005Hi all!I have an application that needs to copy the database structure fromone database to another without using the "Generate SQL Script"function in Enterprise Manager. I'd like to do this from within astored procedure. Can someone recommend the best approach for this?I've seen references to using SQL-DMO from a stored procedure using thesp_OA* procs in other postings to this group but was wondering if therewas an easier way? Can I use bcp and then use xp_cmdshell from withinmy stored procedure? It's not clear to me from the documentationwhether bcp copies both structure and data or just data? Is there abetter way?Thanks in advance for any help!Karen

View 4 Replies View RelatedLarge Export Of Data From One DB Of One Structure To Another
Aug 31, 2006Hi guys,
Hopefully this is the right place to ask.
Basically we have have two larges databases, one of which is updated from the other monthly.
For exaplination purposes:
DB1 = Source DB
DB2 = Destination DB
The problem that I require a soltion to is, how do I insert rows from a table in DB1 to DB2 and recover and store the identity of the new row against the ID of the existing row. This is so that I can then matain constraints when it comes to inserting rows into the next table and the next and so on.
This process of storing the ID's as lookups will need to be done for almost every table of which there are 20.
The best Idea we have at the minute is to create a table with two colums for each table (drop it and recreate it after each table has exported) that contains the two ID's, new and old.
This will require using a cursor for each row in the existing table, inserting it in the new table and the using @@Scope_Identity to get the new ID and then insert the two values into the temp table.
This too me feels like it will be very slow, particuarly when I bear in mind how much data we have.
Does anyone have any better ideas? (Sorry if the explaination isn't great, its difficult to get accross)
Thanks

Copy Just The Database Structure Not The Data
Feb 19, 2007I have been working on my windows app, using SQL Server 2005 (& C#) but I now have loads of junk data, so I want to copy the structure without any data to a new set of files that can become the production version.
I assume I can use backup and restore in future when I want a copy of my production data to use for future testing.
How would I take just one table from my test database and add it to my production database without retyping the design?
Apart from the size limitation is there any advantage in buying a version of SQL Server over using the Express edition?
Copy Database Structure But Not The Data

Thanks in advance for suggestions...!
Moving Data To A Table With A Different Field Structure
Sep 25, 2003In order to export data to a 3rd party provider, I build five separate tables to store the data. Every table has a different layout, except for the first four columns. They are record type, SSN, employee id and another id number.
Basically, I have to sort that data by SSN then by record type. Each employee will have multiple records.
However, that data will need to be "merged" into one table to be exported.
I have created a table that defines the first four columns, but then has one large "filler" field that will contain the rest of the data. How can I copy data from five different tables with five different layouts into one table?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve Hanzelman
Automating Validation Of Structure / Data Of CSV File
Feb 15, 2013We have the following scenario: We receive CSV files every month for which SSIS packages were built to process the data. The following problems occur from time to time:
1. The structure of the CSV file changed (e.g. column added or removed)
2. There were no footers in the data, but now footers started to appear
3. Date format changed (e.g. used to be mm/dd/yyyy, but became mm.dd.yyyy)
4. Number format changed (e.g. from 2000 to 2,000)
Currently we have person who manually opens each file, and using our "validation document" validates to ensure none of these or similar problems occur. We would like to move away from this manual process if possible. I understand that items 3. and 4. could be caught by loading data into a staging table with VARCHAR data types, and performing validation before moving it any further.
Item 2 is a bit questionable (meaning depending on the footer size SSIS load could fail or not).
Item 1, however, is a sure fail of the SSIS package that directly loads the data into a table.
Thus I feel the two possible options are:
1. Create a custom script that will run through the file, row by row, apply all the necessary validations and report an error or continue if all checks out
2. Use some 3rd party tool to validate the files (semi-manually) before kicking off the SSIS processing.

Exporting Data
Feb 1, 2005Hello everybody,
I was wondering if there is a way to export and recode data at the same time with SQL.
For example I have gender information coded as 1 or 2 in my table and I need to upload the information to a different application that needs M or F. Is there a way to export to a new table and recode at the same time ?
I'm still pretty new to it.
Thank you.

View 1 Replies View RelatedExporting Data
Jan 17, 2007Hi all,
I recently found out that there is no easy way to distribute a MSSQL 2005 database to MSSQL Server 2000. Most forums that I have read say to use the DTS facility to import the data into the SQL 2000, however this is not an option (for a variety of reason I won't go into).
The next best option in my mind is to script the entire database, including the data into one or a few script files then run them on the SQL 2000 server to recreate the database. Unfortunately, exporting the data, what I thought would be a fundamental feature, isn't part of SQL 2005.
So does anybody know of a good (free) scripting program that will allow me to export the entire database from a server? I've tried:
- Free program from the CodeProject.com (program dies when there's more than 5000 lines) http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/ScriptDatabase.asp
-SQL Scripter www.sqlscripter.com (Doesn't script table which don't have primary keys, and produces a script for each object instead of just a single file)
I'd probably like a program which only creates a single script, as the database has over 200 tables and I don't want to have to go through this process everytime I need to distribute the DB (which will be often).
The only other option I can think of is a program which converts an SQL 2005 backup to a 2000 version.
Thanks for your help!

Exporting Data From SQL
Jan 17, 2008I'm very new to SQL - please bear with me.
1. I need to be able to export data from a database to an excel sheet (I have written the query and tested it works, so I don't need to know this stage :^)). What is the best way of doing this? Could you send me a link of a howto doc?
2. Once the data is export to excel, it then needs to be manipulated so that a final sheet is created. During the manipulation I need to add the values of certain columns to give me an end result.
Should I use excel to manipulate the data or can sql add the values of certain columns and then export to an excel sheet?
What's the best way please.
Many thanks
