Let me frist start saying that I am no SQL DB guru or have any great knowledge. I am sure this questions is the most basic question posted here. I would like to know how to export a single table from an SQL 2005 DB. I need to export this table from one SQL server to another. Just one table and its contents. Also, I woud like this exported table to be saved as a *.dat file?
I have been trying to solve this problem for the last 2 days but no luck.
Here is the problem that I am facing.
The task on had is to transfer data from a single table (the source) to multiple files (Destination) based on the record type.
I have tried changing the Datasource property of the Text File Connection object dynamically by using an ActiveX Script. But the data is still being written only to one file.
We have databases with large numbers of tables. We have a separate database for each year. For various reasons, we need to export about 100 of the tables (Structure only, not their data) from last years database into this year's database. What is the best method for doing this? The import/export wizard creates the tables but does not bring in important things like keys.
I need to export data from multiple tables into one single file. The big problem here is that the tables will have different column types.
I am attempting to create something that allows users to be able to send me the contents of their tables's, through either email or ftp. I would prefer to make it easier for them so they only have to deal with one file, instead of the multiple files that bcp and dts create when exporting from multiple tables.
I was thinking of using DTS or BCP and then join (append) the files (either zip them or append the files together in some fashion), but I was hoping that there was an easier method out there.
Any ideas on how I may accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.
is there some way to avoid single quote for all fields (including text) in excel when we export data from sql server? i dont want to have any single quote in excel when i export data.
I am using Bulk Copy command for Exporting data table wise from database to csv files and it was working fine. Since last 3-4 days when exporting for some tables data in csv file is coming junk.
I would like to get single values from a huge sql server and put it into a table. let's say 4 by 4. How do I do that? I have a connection string with a select statement that will only return a value. But, I do not know how to put that value into a table. Thank you.
I created one Database in my server,n i wanted the same database in my local computer.So i copied it and restored in my database. Now i created another one new table in my server. I want to copy that table into my computer. How can i copy a single table in database and how can i restore(paste) that into my existing databse of my local compuer.
Sharepoint is a pretty darn dynamic service and that got me thinking of how databases are created. Just wondering out loud, surely someone has thought of creating databases in such a manner, but I don't know if it's a thought that has been struck down.
It would look something like this: Single Table ID uniqueidentifier PK ParentID uniqueidentifier FK to ID Name nvarchar(MAX)
Value nvarchar(MAX)
In this manner, you would create your database "columns" as needed in the data-layer.
If that is too strict, (every datatype would be encoded to base64), you could create a value option for basically every data type. EG. nvarchar(max), nvarbinary(max).... and add another field that describes the data-type to be used for that "column" ID uniqueidentifier PK ParentID uniqueidentifier FK to ID Name nvarchar(MAX) DataType nvarchar(50) //constrained to allowable datatypes MaxLen nvarchar(31) //ahh, what the hey, let's add this for sniggles. ValueNvarchar nvarchar(MAX) nullable
ValueNvarbin nvarbinary(MAX) nullable
....
Now, to allow the "values" for those "columns", you may be able to still use the single-table approach, but it may be better to have an extra table for that (probably even a different partition and drive).
Things to consider, indexing..... In development, the data-layer would handle the creation/reading of table columns. The business-layer, which could be many for different parts of a company, would make it's requests to the DL. It may need a username, and the DL would either just create it, or suggest an already existing username column. The path to that username may not be where a particular biz element wants it, so they will ask the DL create another under a diff path.
The business-layer is probably the most important reason for wanting a single dynamic table.
In the end, the relation structure could be like: Human //dir, no value, no parent (root) FirstName //value - text LastName //value - text Parent1 //value - Me Id Sibling1 //value - Me Id SiblingN //value - Me Id
School //dir, no val ParentId //value - Id (perhaps category would be Building) Name //value - text
The sibling N would be an example of how a table may need to be dynamic. A positive of the single-table approach is no limitation on number of "columns". Another is the ease to move a hierarchical structure if needed. School may want to be University instead of just "school" and be placed as a child of "school".
Hello, As the heading states, I'd like to copy a database table from VWDE over to SQL SME, where it'll replace its namesake. I've tried the 'attach' method but was denied due to server permissions. Is there another way of doing this, or will I have to delete the database and then run a script to reinstate (annoyingly convoluted)? This would be so much easier if the host supported SQL 2005 Express. Thanks in advance
I've never dealt with stored procedures much.. but i have a new database created.. imported the tables, but the stored procedures didnt get copied over..
Is there an easy way to export them.. perhaps to a .sql file ... then import them or run a script on the other database..
I have never done much with the query window before, so i'm not sure how to handle this.. as there are around 20 stored procedures that need imported..

Hi All, I am trying to export SQL 7.0 table to oracle 8i using SQL Server export utility. Table gets created in Oracle but no data is exported. Also the oracle table is inaccessible and even doesn't allow me to drop that table.
I'm trying to export a table from SQL7 to Excel. Only thing is that I'd like to specify the Excel spreadsheet filename at run time. The name of the spreadsheet needs to contain the current date e.g. "table1_20011005.xls", "table1_20011006.xls". Is there any way I can do this ? I've looked at DTS but it seems you need to specify the spreadsheet file name and cannot alter it.
I have an access application that gets used by people on the road. They put data into a local table and occasionally log into our network and transfer a file to a temp table in SQL.
I've been tasked with the following: Export data from old table, to newly created table(s). I say tables because there's three destination tables total, and only two source tables. The two old tables are virtually the same, so the new table will be a combination of the two. More importantly I'll need to chop out some data from the old tables and create new details with them. As you can see, the old table was very "flat" in the sense that they kept adding new fields for bits of detail data (10 for one type of detail, 15 for another type of detail). I'd like to house that data in separate linkable tables. This is an example of the old and new data structure:
Hi, I have a windows form in visual studio and am trying to export a table from the local sql database into a excel worlbook. I followed this example: (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307029/en-us) that uses the example northwind mdb database and it worked ,but when I try to change the connection string I get an error "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done."
Could anyone let me know the correct way to go about this. My ultimate aim is to export a report.
Is there a way for VS2005 to export the database schema of a .mdf into a .sql file? Preferably from a Web PRoject, not a Database Project, but right now I am anything but picky, so whatever works. Thanks.
Hi all, this has been bothering me for a few days now so i thought id better get some good advice! I am going through the process of exporting a SQL Server 2005 DB to my hosting company for the first time. Initially I tried using SQL Server Management Studio to "Export" the DB, which has all of the membership functionality (by runnung aspnet_regsql.exe) and a few extra tables - nothing too complicated. Exporting with SQL SMS did not seem to copy my stored procedures accross and this gave me problems. I then tried SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard - as recommended by this post: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/01/11/tip-trick-how-to-upload-a-sql-file-to-a-hoster-and-execute-it-to-deploy-a-sql-database.aspx So this is my process: 1. set up empty DB on hosting server2. get admin to allow dbo permissions on this DB3. open SQL SDPW and create a script which will create an exact copy of my local DB4. run the script on my new empty Db on server... when i do this i get the following errors: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure vw_aspnet_Users, Line 3Invalid object name 'dbo.aspnet_Users'.Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure vw_aspnet_MembershipUsers, Line 3Invalid object name 'dbo.aspnet_Membership'.Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure vw_aspnet_Profiles, Line 3Invalid object name 'dbo.aspnet_Profile'.Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure vw_aspnet_UsersInRoles, Line 3Invalid object name 'dbo.aspnet_UsersInRoles'.Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure vw_aspnet_WebPartState_User, Line 3Invalid object name 'dbo.aspnet_PersonalizationPerUser'.
When i look at the DB hosted on the server, it seems that all of my stored procedures are there. One thing I noticed was that some of my "Views" were in the "Tables" folder (i dont know if this matters)The result that this is having is that I do not get any errors, but the queries on my page where i reference one of my views (like vw_aspnet_MembershipUsers), the latest records are not appearing.I think that somehow my stored procedures are not referencing the correct views and tables maybe?Anyway - if anyone has come across this, please help me out (even if its just to say ive done something stupid )
Is it possible to take a Database from version 8.0 (SQL Server 2000) and convert it to version 7.0? My ISP is running SQL Server 7, and I am developing on SQL Server 2000. I will be using Active Server Pages to make most of my modifications to the database, once it is complete. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Hi I am trying to export an table data to csv format. The problem here is the table columns are dynamic. The DTS exports only the columns available during the DTS design time and it ignores if any new columns are added after the design. I need solution for this asap. Thanks SqlJerin
