I'd like to move data from my prod. env. to my dev. env. The data in dev would be replaced by the prod one. I cannot do a detach/attach or backup and restore due to some already existing dev objects located in the dev. env.
Any lead on how I can do this?
Thanks Marcel
Here is my requirement.
There is a production database which has ever increasing data. For testing purposes though, I would like to build a test database with exactly the same schema but only a subset of data copied from the production database . I'll specify the criteria (something like a where clause in select query) for copying the data from the production database.
Is there a tool that anyone has come across to do this job ?
I'm totally new to SQL. I have a SQL 2005 server with 3 sets of mirrors - 1 for the OS, 1 for the logs and 1 for the DB. SQL had already been installed and DB's put into production before I knew the logs and DB's were all on 1 mirrored set. I need to move the logs to their own drive. How do I accomplish this?

I am using SQL Server report 2008/2012 (SSRS) and my report viewer contains body content with 3 Row groups.
While printing the report, data print with blank space and move to continue data to next page.
Departure flight : 70 rows
First Page : 42 rows printed
Second Page : 23 rows printed [ Supposed to be print 28 , if the total count of records more than 23 and less than 42 then the page print only 23 records ]
Third Page : 5 rows printed
Departure flight : 42 rows
First Page : 42 rows printed [Report max. record allowed to print 42 rows so if total record is 42 then print perfectly ]
Departure flight : 26 rows
First Page : 23 rows printed [Supposed to be print 26, if the total count of records more than 23 and less than 42 then the page print only 23 records ]
Second Page : 3 rows printed
The ERP manufacturer used an image data type to store large text data fields. I am trying to move these data types from one database to another database using either Sql Queries or MS Access. I can cast them as an 8000 char varchar to read them directly but have no luck importing into these image data fields.
Access and Crystal are not able to read these fields directly.
Any suggestions? Most information about these fields has to do with loading files but I am just moving data.
Thanks,

Hi all, I've been assigned a task of refreshing data from theproduction env to development env.what i got is a backup file of a db in the prod env, i now need tomake that into the development env.I can restore it to the dev env no problem, but the warnings i got arethat the tables owner in prod and dev env need to be different, thatis, owner is A in prod env and owner is B in dev env.So I need to:1) restore the db in dev env2) change table owner from A to B3) change related triggers4) change related viewsCan anyone suggest me an approach that is most efficient?Thanks a lot.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello All,I have been searching for a published document for Best Practicesconcerning access levels based on roles. Should developers have morethan (if at all) select level access to production data? If Iunderstand (from multiple postings) that it is best to have:1. Development (developers have extensive access levels)2. Test (developers have restriced access levels)and3. Production (developers have none or select level access)Our environment and budget only allows for items 1 and 3.If any body could point me to a document from a 'reputable' source, Iwould greatly appreciate it.TIABill

Hi All,
I have to delete 135 Million records from our production server, keeping only last three months data & the table doesnot have any index.
Can you please suggest the best possible approach to perform this activity.
Approach i am thinking :-
1)I will rename the existing table & create a new table with the same name (By this my application wont be interrupted)
2)then i am planning to create a nonclustered index on the date column sort order desc so that i can get the last three months data.
3)Once the index is created i can transfer the required records to the new table created in step 1.
Please sugeest your valuable feedback or suggestions to perform the task ASAP.
Thanks
I am trying to insert data from staging table to production table. In the staging table I only have period or date but no primary key.
This is my staging table
Create stagingtable(
[Period] [char](7) NOT NULL,
[CompanyCode] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
[total] [int] NULL,
[status] [varchar](50) NULL
)
Create Production(
[Period] [char](7) NOT NULL,
[CompanyCode] [varchar](100) NOT NULL,
[total] [int] NULL,
[status] [varchar](50) NULL
)
I get this every month. What can I do to make sure only unique record are loaded into production table with no duplicate from previous month.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am trying to refresh a test database with data from a production database. Both database structures are identical, e.g. constraints, stored procs, PK, etc. I am trying to create a package in SSIS that accomplishes this task and I am having extensive problems. The import export wizard is out of the question because the constaints are not carried over, plus when I try to refresh the data using the import export wizard, it fails on 1 specific table because of a column in that table named "Error code". I think "Error code" is a micrsoft keyword, so it fails on this column. Does anyone know a workaround that I can do to accomplish this simple task, that could be completed in minutes using DTS. I understand that SSIS is not as straight forward as DTS, but this task is something that DBA's do on a regular basis and therefore should not be this difficult.
Any help would be appreciated,

I have question regarding SQL Transactional Replication methodology
1. Let's say successfully created SQL Transactional Replication and running / transferring data from publisher to subscriber
2. Now one day the source production / publisher SQL Server is down and the remaining DR SQL Server is up (subscriber)
3. Next day, we fixed and bring up the production / publisher SQL Transactional Replication server, then how can we sync back all existing data records from subscriber into publisher side ?

Hi,
I'm a C# developer, not a DBA, but fairly familiar with sql server 2000 and learning 2005. I have a need to update a table on one sql server from another remote sql 2005 server. Both will be SQL 2005, but will not be on the same network, so there will be firewall issues to contend with. Security is not a huge concern as the data is public info and not personal secure information or anything like that. What I'll have is a table of data in one sql database. I will have a copy of that data on another sql server that is used at an ISP and drives a web site. I need the table at the ISP sql server to get updated from the SQL server that is onsite in our office on our private network. I would like to not have to get network admins to open sql server ports if possible, so I guess I'm wondering if there is an easy way with SQL 2005 to update data from one sql server to another in the environment that I have described that maybe could expose the data over a common port (ie port 80). I don't want to have to use integrated security as I'm not sure this would work between remote databases in this scenario. I don't know if the web service end point support in sql 2005 would allow this. The examples I have seen online show a sql endpoint created and then accessed from a .NET application. I can do that if I have to, but I would rather do all of this inside the database in some fashion. I am open to any idea that would work and if I need to, I can ditch the idea of using something over port 80 and can get the necessary ports open between the sql servers. This is a pretty simple scenario that we have with one table of data needing to be updated weekly on a web based sql server from a remote sql server.
Any ideas on how you would approach this would be greatly appreciated. Security for the data I'm accessing is not a huge concern as the data is public domain as I've said, but I need to make sure the rest of the server and database on both ends are secured.
Thanks for any help!

Guys,
We are currently moving our environment. I was told that we need to copy all the stuff over. More specifically, we want to move everything except the data, as our data is dynamic and will fill up in a few days by itself.
What is the best way to move everything over from one server instance to another?
My current approach is the following:
1. Create the file groups we have on our current server on the new server
2. Script out all databases with stored procedures, functions, views, priviliges, indexes ...
3. Script out all the jobs
4. Script out all the dts packages (or rather save each in a file)
5. Load all scripts into the new sql server
6. Re-create user accounts (can these be scripted out also and then loaded?)
Am I missing something or is there a wiser alternative?
Thanks a lot
