The DTS Task Copy Server Objects is PAINFULLY slow.
The Copy Table Wizard is fast but generates an unmanagable DTS and does not bring over the indexes.
Any tips or tricks to copy tables, data and indexes and a reasonable speed?
Thanks,

Hi, I am trying to use SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition to copy tables from my local server to my hosts server at brinkster.com. In the old version you could use DTS, but everything seems to have got far more complicated now! Please can anybody guide me in the right direction? Thanks a lot.
Hi Guys,
What is the fast way to move huge table (77 million) records with 25 columns across servers? The servers are not linked though.
Thanks for the help.
I've got a view that is driven from a 80 million record table in a data warehouse. I am trying to populate an aggregate table in a datamart, but am running into preformance problems. The datamart table needs to be updated daily. I understand there are many factors that effect performance, but in general would the fastest approach be:
1) Truncate the datamart table
2) Perform a bcp of the view to a text file
3) Bulk Insert to the datamart table
If you need more information to answer this please let me know.
Thanks,
Matt
I work with databases and some of my backup files are 30-100 gigs insize. I currently use the FastCopy utility to copy files from oneserver to another. (This is needed when I need to transfer a DB to adifferent server). FastCopy says its 30 to 50% faster than Windowsfile copy. I read somewhere that the windows kernel defaults to4mb/sec throughput for copying.Is this true? Is there a faster way or some utility to copy files?I'm aware of RoboCopy but the documentation didn't mention anythingabout faster performance. All my servers are windows 2000 NTFS.Thanks

Does anyone know a quick wat to copy indexes? BAscially I have 3 servers (Production, test and dvlp) and I need to make sure that all 3 are in sync with the indexes. I can manually duplicate them (not preferred) and I don't want to override any table data. I assume there has to be a way to just copy indexes with nothing else. At least I hope. Any assistance or suggestions that anyone has is appreciated
Thanks!
Hi,I simply want to create a duplicate of an existing table with adifferent name. I've tried the "select * into newtable fromorgtable", which works great, except that it doesn't mark the primarykey field from orgtable in the newtable. I tried creating thenewtable prior to using this select, but then sql server cries aboutthe table already existing. I tried creating the index after theselect "CREATE UNIQUE INDEX FieldAIndex ON newtable (FieldA)" - thatdidn't give a error, but also failed to mark the field as primary.Suggestions?

I have a number of large tables (50,000,000 + rows and 30+ columns) that are refreshed once per month with data from another system. Data is first loaded into a staging table, that has an indentical strcuture to the final table, cleansed and then copy to the final table.
The current copy process is simple but inefficient:
Truncate Table <final-table>
Insert Into <final-table>
Select * from <staging-table>
If possible I don't want to use DTS for this and I'd like to use a batch size of around 10,000 rows to help reduce the size of the log file because I have 3 of these types of Inserts running concurrently.
What is the fatest way to copy data from one table to another, within a stored procedure using SQL 2000 on a large, clustered server that uses logging?

hi, I do have over 30 scheduled jobs in one sql server in which I want to have the same jobs in another sql server. What is the best way to copy those jobs?
I thought of backing up the msdb from one sql server then restoring msdb into another sql server..... someone advice me NOT to do so due to potential compatibility problems that he did not explicitly state.
I am hoping to get the answer here.
Thanks

I've got two servers with sql 2005 express on, the first is a shared server at our isp, we rent one database from them. The other server is our own and we have full sa access.
Is there an easy way to copy the database from the shared server onto our own server. We're unable to use the backup.

Hi,
Once a report is deployed to a specific server (server A), is there a way to "copy" it to a different server (servers B, C), without having to actually deploy it server by server?
In my case, I am trying to have the developers deploy the reports on the development server first (server A), and then manually or automatically copy them to a Preview server (server B), and later to a production server (server C). I cannot grant the developers full permissions on the production server, so a "copy" is what I'm thinking about....
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Hello. I need to copy all of the rows in a table from a database on one server, to another existing table of the same name in a different database on a different server. I'm trying to use a SELECT INTO statement. Any idea how to do this?I've tried SELECT * INTO DestinationServer.dbo.DestinationDB.DestinationTableFROM SourceTable AS SourceTable_1 But this doesn't work, saying there are too many prefixes. Any idea how to do this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI connect to remote servers using PPTP connection. There are 4 web servers and 1 production server on the other side of the firewall. From my staging server, I am supposed to archive the NT event logs(Application and system) for each of the servers.
To solve this problem, I have mapped the C drives of each of the remote servers to my local staging server. I then created a batch file, webevnt.bat containing code,
G:
Cd winnt
Cd system32
Cd config
Copy sysevent.evt c:eventarcweb01sysevent.evt
Copy appevent.evt c:eventarcweb01appevent.evt
Then I used SQL Agent to create a job of type, Operating system command(cmdexec) and typed the following command :
C:atch_~1eventl~1webevnt.bat
When I run the command, C:atch_~1eventl~1webevnt.bat through the command prompt, the files are copied with the correct modified date.
The output is,
1 file(s) copied
1 file(s) copied
But, when I use SQL Agent and start the job containing the same command, the job runs successfully but, the files have a wrong modified date. Moreover, when I view the job history for this job, it says, specified drive not found. 1 file(s) copied. 1 file(s) copied.
Please let me know why this happens.
Thank you.

Hi,
I am creating a job that runs this command:
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'copy f:dados_sqlmssqlackup
ecom_tb_basico.bak \stalingrado_2c$ emp',
The result of this job is:
"Access is denied.
0 file(s) copied.
NULL"
But I am running this command with sa user.....
Wich kind of permission is missing to execute this copy?
When I execute the same command to copy the backup from the server to itself, it works fine!!!!
Does someone have an idea to solve this problem?????
I need to move SQL Agent scheduled jobs from one server to another..
Here are the details:
Source Server
SQL 2000 SP3 (upgraded from SQL 7)

I have a SSIS package which is used to update the OLAP database daily. It includes various processes from the initial dropping of the raw data source tables, rebuilding it, dropping of the OLAP datamart tables (dimension tables and fact tables), re-building it, updating the OLAP dimensions and finally updating the OLAP cubes. I wrote a series of the Sql scripts to perform the tasks except the updating of the OLAP dimensions and cubes, and assigned them to the SSIS package. Everything is working great and it was scheduled with the sql agent to execute at the early hour everyday. We have a single server enviroment for the "Production/Processing" i.e. Database engine, SSIS, SSAS, SSRS are all installed on a single server. By the way we are using Sql 2005.
Recently we split the "Production/Processing" enviroment into two seperated servers. We purchase another server "Production" server and use the existing server as the "Processing" server. I want to copy the success updated OLAP database from the current server "Processing" server to the new "Production" server. How to copy an OLAP database between servers?
Idealy, I believe that the following 5 processes should be assigned after the completion of the OLAP cubes updated at the "Processing" server:
Stop the SSAS at the "Production" server.........I know how to do this in SSIS
Re-name the existing OLAP database at the "Production" server.......not sure how to do this
Copy the newly updated OLAP database from "Processing" server to the "Production" server. If the copy process is succeed, drop the OLAP database that has just been re-named at the "Production" server. If the copy process is failed, re-named the OLAP database that has just been re-named back to the original name.....not sure how to do this. Should it be a Sql script?
Start the SSAS at the "Production" server........I know how to do this in SSIS
Thanks
I have recently moved from a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 to a SQL Server
2005.
In the good old Enterprise Manager, when I imported a table from a SQL
server to another, I could choose "Copy objects and data between SQL
Server
databases". When choosen, all primary keys, and default values was
copied.
My question is:
Is it possible to do the same in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
with
SQL Server 2005? And how do I do it?
I have tried using the "SELECT * INTO NewTable FROM OldTable"
statement, but
it just drops all information about primary keys and default values.
Best Regards
This is a question of whether or not to use SSIS to solve a problem.
I need to copy SQL Server database backup files from a server in the DMZ to a fileserver inside the firewall. The SQL Server is not allowed to write it's backup files directly to the fileserver, so they are written to local disk. A connection can be made from inside the firewall to the SQL Server to copy the files off.
So, I'm considering SSIS for the job. Is it possible to use SSIS to perform the file copies from one remote server to another? If so, is the FTP task required, or can File System tasks be used?
An alternative would be Windows scripting, xcopy, robocopy, etc. but I like the features of SSIS and would like to take advantage of it's flow control, error handling, database scheduling, etc.
Any tips, sample code, etc. would be appreciated.
Thanks,
david
I want to migrate from one machine to another is it wise to use SSIS "Copy Objects and Data Between SQL Servers" task to accomplish this....migration both data and metadata (in master,model,and msdb ) databases?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have migrated databases and logins from SQL server 2008 R2->SQL Server 2014. Now I also want to migrate/copy the "linked servers". Do you have a step-by-step for this, so that i will copy everything that is necessary regarding logins etc ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy requirement is to sling a rowset from one place in SQL server into a table in another place in the most performant way. I want this to be parameterizable - I want to provide just a connection string and some SQL for the source and a connection string and a table name for the destination. The package should do the rest.
The solution I chose was an 2014 SSIS package with source and destination as ADO.NET connections configured from project variables. The package has a script task to bulk copy the data. For performance I disable the non-clustered indexes first.
But this performance precaution causes the bulk copy to timeout after delivering the correct rowcount to the destination table. What I can do to avoid this error?
Here's my script code:
//get hold of the source and a data reader from it
SqlConnection sqlconnSource = new SqlConnection();
sqlconnSource = (SqlConnection)(Dts.Connections["source"].AcquireConnection(Dts.Transaction) as SqlConnection);
SqlCommand sourcesqlCommand = new SqlCommand(SourceSQL, sqlconnSource);
sourcesqlCommand.CommandTimeout = 1500;
[Code] ....
This takes 128 seconds to put 13 million thin rows into my empty destination table and then throws an exception with this message:
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
How do I move a table (test1) to a physical file group, and the table(test1) indexes to another file group. One clustered index and 3 nonclustered indexes. Thanks!!!!

Hi,
I have 2 tables with this design: one has ArticleID as primary key and multiple other fields and one has GroupID as primary key and multiple other fields. Each article can belong in multiple groups so I created a new table called articleGroups with only 2 fields: ArticleID and GroupID to show the groups associated with each article. There is a relation between this table and each of the main 2 tables. My question is, in the articleGroup table, does it make any sense to create an Index on ArticleID, GroupID or both? Since the group is needed for each article the Groups will always be queried everytime the article is queried. So, I am not sure if an index is needed?
Thank you,

Iulian

I was trying to find out how much space is available in a 2000 db for allocation to tables and indexes. I am trying to find the amount of space that has to be used-up before another allocation is automatically made to the database. I looked at sp_spaceused but BOL is rather sketchy at defining what the numbers it returns really mean. Is the "unallocated space" the value I am looking for?
Thanks,

I have a pretty large database that has tables that will contain millions of rows of records. I will predominantly be using Views just to select the data. (I will not be performing any updates or inserts). I propose creating indexes on the views. My question is - if I create indexes on my views, do I have to create them on the tables as well? Is it good practice to create indexes on tables by default even if I am not going to be performing select statements directly on my tables but via my indexed views? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
