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 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?
Thanks in advanced.

How to export data from MDS 2012 entity to SQL 2012 user database table ?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am having a hard time finding materials on this subject. I am guessing I am using the wrong keywords to search. Basically, I want to be able to modify database tables through a web form. They can add columns and delete columns through the form. I would just want to default the type of column and the length. I am sure it has been done, I was just wondering if anyone had some resources they could throw my way. I would appreciate it. Thanks.

View 1 Replies View Related 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..
Thanks for any tips...

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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
How is the best way to approach this?
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:
OldTable1 (SOURCE)
Name | Acct | Detail1Min | Detail1Max | ~~~ | Detail10Min | Detail10Max | DiffDetail1Min | DiffDetail1Max | DiffDetail1Rate | ~~~ | DiffDetail15Min | DiffDetail15Max | DiffDetail15Rate |
OldTable2 (SOURCE)
Name | Acct | Detail1Min | Detail1Max | ~~~ | Detail10Min | Detail10Max | DiffDetail1Min | DiffDetail1Max | DiffDetail1Rate | ~~~ | DiffDetail15Min | DiffDetail15Max | DiffDetail15Rate |
| | |
| | |
VVV
NewTable (Destination)
AutoID | Name | Acct | TYPE | * Newly created field so I know which table it came from (OldTable1 or OldTable2?)
NewTableDetail (Destination)
AutoID | NewTableID | DetailMin | DetailMax |
NewTableDiffDetail (Destination)
AutoID | NewTableID | DiffDetailMin | DiffDetailMax | DiffDetailMax |
In the new data structure, the AutoID from the main table (NewTable) will link to the two newly created detail tables using NewTableID.

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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi 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 )

Hi,
I wish to export a MS SQL table into a text file. I know that I can do this under the DTS wizard but I need the syntax so as to run in on my script. Can anyone help?
Thanks!
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.

Scenario :
SQL table has 2 columns SQ1, SQ2
Excel sheet has three columns : EX1, EX2, EX3
SQ1 matches with EX2
SQ2 matches with EX3
I would like to insert the rows where EX1='X'. EX1 is the left most column in th Excel sheet.
Here's what I am trying. Could you suggest any changes/suggestions?

I have a button on my winform that is exporting a sql table to a text file. It works fine but I have a few fields that are date (not date/time) but when it exports it is adding a time. Is there a way to just export the date that is in the table?
