How Can I Create An Install Script Using An Existing Database?
May 19, 2005
I have a database full of tables but no install script. Is there a way
I can use EM or QA to create a create database with all the tables
script?
What I am trying to avoid is going through by hand to all these tables and writing out the sql to create the tables...
I know you can do it one table at a time in QA by clicking on the table
and choosing 'Script object as new', but I was wondering if there was a
way to do this for an entire database at once, instead of one table at
a time...
Hi, My server went dead(problems with the hard disk), but I have a copy of the whole sql server directory including the database in a external hard disk. I have a new server now and I would like to copy this database (with the reports from reporting services too) from the external hard disk to my new server. can anybody help me please? Thanks.
Note : I have a plain copy of all the sql server directory with all the files including the database not a SQLServer backup done with the wizards.

Hello All, I was wondering if anybody can help me with the following question: I'm working on the application where the Database, it's table (2) and several stored procedures are involved. The database is SQL Server 2000. It's also very old and involves a lot of operations, stored proc and so on. I just need to re-write a piece of the app which is using existing stored proc. Most of them are DELETE, INSERT and so on. I don't want to work with real stage DB and need to make a copy of the Database to my Dev box. So I tried: * Right click, All Tasks, Export Data into the newly created database on my dev box. That doesn't work, every time I try doing it, it fails somewhere in the middle of the process. I'm thinking it happens because of complexity of the database. I tried several options there already. Still nothing. I need the whole databse to be copied because I'm not sure which stored proc the app is using so I need them all, and tables too. Is there another way of doing this? Thank you, Tatyana
How do I create a copy of an existing database using vb.net? I have not been able to find solutions to the problem using vb.net. Can someone please help me. Thanks
Greetings! I just found this group after wasting hours trying to make SSRS work with databases that are already created (that is, the DBA created two empty databases for me, X and XTempDB).
I keep getting "this connection string is invalid can't use this to connect to SQL Server" in the Database Setup tab.
The problem is that to create its own database, SSRS needs dbcreator and securityadmin roles (please correct me if I'm wrong here). And I'm having a helluva problem trying to convince the DBA to give me temporary dbcreator and securityadmin roles!
Is there any document or something that I can use to convince him that SSRS will not do anything like recreating the login (because he said that the login has already existed and has its role set up in many other databases)?
Any help, pointers, suggestions, etc. is very much appreciated.
Is it possible to create diagram from existing database? Need to understand the schema of database which has no documentation. So would like to create diagram for that database.
I am working with a table in SQL server. I have a column that I want to designateas an identity column. I am not able to do this, because the field for "Identity Specification" is not editiable. What I did was I went to sql server, right clicked and selected "Modify".The column properties dialog box/edit grid is then displayed with attributesthat I can modify. There are two major nodes in this dialog box. One is named "General" and the otheris named "Table Designer". I expand the "Table Designer" node and then go to the node labeled "Identity Specification" It is here where I would like to edit thevalues. The values that are listed for edit are listed below. BUT, the problem is thatI can place my cursor in those fields, but I am not able to change/edit them.Can anyone tell me what the problem is here? and how I can fix it? +Identity Specification (Is Identity) Identity Increment Identity Seed

I have a script that performs an unattended installation of SQL Server and works fine.
However, if I un-install via the control panel all the files are removed apart from the databases that are created by me when SQl server was installed. This is good and ensures data is not deleted.
The files left over are in the following directory: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData and contains: MyDatabase.mdf MyDatabase_log.LDF
The problem I have is after performing the re-installtion of SQL server (unattended) I am unable to create a new database with the same name (in this instance called "myDatabase").
The actual files are physically there so this is the reason a new database with the same name cannot be creacted.
Again this is ok again because it ensures I cannot overwrite existing data. However I am unable to re-attach this database to SQl server so I can continue to use it!
The question is:
How do I make this database usable again after an unattended install? Is there a parameter I am missing?
Below are the commands I use that are passed to the installation of SQL Server as command line parameters:
The last four commands I have played around with but for some reason SQL Server service will not start when these are used! (This is a different issue though!).
Hi all, please help. I m trying to create an "empty" table from existing table for the audit trigger purpose. For now, i am trying to create an empty audit table for every table in a database named "pubs", and it's seem won't work. Please advise.. Thanks in advance.
SELECT @TABLE_NAME= MIN(TABLE_NAME) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE= 'BASE TABLE' AND TABLE_NAME NOT LIKE 'audit%' AND TABLE_NAME!= 'sysdiagrams' AND TABLE_NAME!= 'Audit' AND TABLE_NAME = 'sales'
WHILE @TABLE_NAME IS NOT NULL BEGIN

I would like to restore database using RESTORE DATABASE ... REPLACE command. If database exists already and has any open connections this command will fail. I would like to close all existing connections to specific database before running RESTORE DATABASE ... REPLACE command. I can do closing from Management Studio using checkbox "Close Existing Connection" when deleting database. Actually I need to do the same but from script.
WIN 2003 web edition. Purchased sql 2005 standard because express was dropping transactions due to too many connections. Installation failed, found out we couldn't install it on 2003 web edition.
Am now trying to re-install express to get the store back online and it is failing, says it sees an existing product key and it is incorrect.
I have uninstalled everything (about 100x's) and even there is nothing in the hkey_local machinesoftwaremicrosoftwindowsuninstall list of guids that has anything to do with sql server, but the install still won't work.
PLEASE answer soon, I have definitely lost this client for good but I would like to get their site up asap.
Is there an easy way to install reporting services on a machine that is already running sp1? When I initially isntalled Sql Server I did not install ssrs. Now, SP1 is installed and when I run the setup tool to install ssrs, it warns me regarding a "version change", presumablly because my media is not sp1, but RTM. Any ideas?
I have found no real documentation on this, so any links would be greatly appreciated.
We have an existing 2 node active active cluster.
A default and and named instance SS2005 Enterprise Edition are installed on the cluster.
Recently we acquired new hardware, 2 servers, which we added to the cluster so we now have a 4 node cluster.
The 2 new nodes have OS etc installed.
Now i have installed sql on a new multi node cluster, i have upgraded sql server in an existing cluster BUT i have never installed sql on an existing cluster for new nodes for multiple instances.
Now i presume you simply run the install on one of the new nodes, do this for a default instance, selecting both 2 new nodes to installl on. And do this again for the named instance.
But in the past I have never been promoted for which nodes to install sql on, it simply does all the nodes BUT i do not want this.
And how will the cluster know where the binary files are for each instance on the new nodes?
In a nutshell, how do i install sql server 2005 for 2 new nodes in an existing 4 node cluster for multiple instances ?
I am having an existing sql 2005 cluster on an active passive cluster. I need to add analysis service to this as a new component. I am having enough space available in the cluster disks. Following are my queries,
1) do i need a new virtual ip and virtual server name for the analysis services ?
2) do i need a seperate cluster resource group for analysis services with an additional disk added ?
If I install a new named instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 on a machine that already has 3 named instances that are upgraded to service pack 3, will the install of the new instance overwrite any of the current SP3 files? Will I have to re-apply SP 3 to the existing instances?
I just upgraded our existing 6.5 installation with the new SQL server 7.0. I can't get any of the existing stored procedures which I imported from 6.5 into 7.0 to allow me to edit them. I do all of my design from Visual InterDev and the SQL Server 6.5 version would allow me to create and edit stored procedures. It would also allow me to create/design new tables.
With SQL Server 7.0 I do not have an option to edit or create any of these items. I have created a new login, assigned it a password, given it admin rights/roles and I am still unable to remotely create these items. What am I doing wrong?
Player, Position, [From], [To], Fee, Type, ID, League, Window
I want to create a new table, EnglandFinal with all the data from the three tables although I'm guessing it would not be a good idea to copy the primary keys (ID column) as they would clash.
I have played around with CREATE and INSERT into and UNION but I get various errors. I'm sure I've done this before!
1.Is there a way to generate an .sdf (SQL CE DB) from an existing SQL Server 2005 DB? So that the sdf file has the same tables and data as SQL server 2005 DB.
2.Is there a way to copy data in Excel file to an .sdf file (SQL CE DB)?
We are having problems when creating new subscriptions or when trying to edit existing subscriptions. When editing an existing subscription, the report manager displays "An Internal error occured" message and when I look in the log the error says Only members of sysadmin role are allowed to update or delete jobs owned by a different login
When trying to create a new subscription the report manager displays "An internal error occured" and the log says System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The schedule was not attached to the specified job. The schedule owner and the job owner must be the same or the operation must be performed by a sysadmin.
We are running sql reporting services 2005 sp1. The report server database server is on a different machine to the reporting server. The existing subscriptions were set up previously on another report server which was originally our dev server. These subscriptions are working just can't change them, or create new ones. Any help is much appreciated.
In most books on ADO.NET programming, a sample database is given as a series of sql instructions (create database, create table, insert into table values (..), etc ), thereby creating the complete mdf/database file. The question arises: how does one create such a SQL script file from an existing .mdf using SSMSEE/SQL Server 2005 Express?
Has anyone been able to create a DTS that will create a new sheet within an existing Excel file. I want one Excel file with multiple tabs referencing the beginning of each week and growing. The name needs to be dynamic so as to not overwrite previous sheets (tabs) in the file.

May be we may do by dense_rank or Row_Number, but I couldn't get the exact query to produce based on the above table values. There are some duplicates in the table(which are not duplicates as per the Business). For those duplicated Unique ID should be same(Marked in Orange Color which are duplicates).
I have the same database(3GB) in 2 physical locations in usa and europe
