How Can I Update One Database Automatically Everyday Based On Another One?
Sep 3, 2002
Hi guys,
I need to update one table in database A based on the other database B, which is on a romote server. The requirement is to update it automatically at 12:00 in the mid-night everyday. Database A is MS SQL Server 7, and database B is Oracle database.
What's the best to implement it? I thinking to use trigger, am I right?
Sql is not a strong point with me so I'm just going to throw this out there. I have a stored procedure that updates the quantity in my 'CartItems' table. Is there a way to have something else happen within the stored procedure that will update another field based on other parts of the record? There is a 'lineTotal' field that I need to equal the 'pounds * itemSell' fields which are both fields within this record. CREATE PROCEDURE UpdateCartItem(@cartItemID Int,@newQuantity numeric(9))ASUPDATE CartItems Set quantity = @newQuantityWHERE cartItemID = @cartItemIDGO
I have some database tables, and each one of them have a creation_date and modified_date in them. I was trying to figure out a way where when a row in one of these tables is changed using Enterprise Manager (Database -> Tables -> select table -> right click -> select all rows -> change a field in a row inside a table), is there a way apart from triggers, such that the "modified_date" column for that row get changed to 'getdate()' (rather picks up the current datetime).
I have a client data which has the candidate id, a start date which will have only the date in varchar format and a time value associated to that date in varchar format in a seperate column.
To give a brief explanation about the data a candidate will come to study center at any time point in a day for example 10:00 AM on 20-10-2014. The start date will be 20-10-2014 and from 10:00 AM he will have test based on the time point. So if the time point is 2 HR, then at 12:00 PM he will have a test. If the time point is 8 HR, it will get added with 10:00 AM and based on this he will have the test at 06:00 PM. When the timepoint reaches 00:00 the start date needs to be the next date instead of 20-10-2014.
The start date needs to be appended with the time value such that when it crosses over the time 00:00, the start date needs to get increased by 1 ie the next day. I have added the start date to the time by using the code below
CAST(STARTDATE as datetime) + CAST(CAST(STUFF([TIME],3,0,':') as time(0)) as datetime) as [EXPECTEDDATETIME]
By this above code i have created the expected datetime however
I will not be able to hardcode the value due to dynamic data. I tried to apply >= and < to the time value something like
case when MyTime >= '00:00' and MyTime < '08:10' the Dateadd(day, 1, date)
This works perfect but my concern is that I cannot put the value 08:10 because it will not a constant value for all rows.
I have provided a screenshot of my data and a expected date column for reference.
I am working with a vendor application called Cisco Unified Attendant Console - it operates on a Windows server with a SQL express database. The CUPs function of the application needs to reference a "contact" field with only the user portion of the contact's email address - generally, the contact's User ID will match the user portion of their email address, however, for this customer it does not (they use the employee number as the User ID and firstname.lastname as user portion of the email address.
Writing a script to accomplish the following:
The dbo.Contact_Properties table of the ATTCFG database has the following fields that we can work with:
- First_Name - Last_Name - Email - User_Field_2 - Contact_Unique_Ref (appears to be the field that ties all other contact tables together ?)
Is it possible to create a script that could run daily to either, combine the First_Name and Last_Name fields (with a period between) and populate the User_Field_2 field for each user, or populate the User_Field_2 field with everything before the @ symbol in the Email field for each user?
Also, by default the servers that this application is installed on does not have SQL Server Management Studio installed - is it possible to accomplish with PowerShell script triggered from the Windows Scheduler?
A common partitioning scenario is when the partition column has the same value for every record in the partition, as opposed to a range of values. Am I the only person who wonders why there isn't an option to automatically partition a table based on the unique values of the partition column? Instead of defining a partition function with constants, you ought to be able to just give it the column and be done. This would be particularly valuable for tables partitioned on a weekly or monthly date; when new data is added it could simply create a new partition if one doesn't already exist.
in sql server I want to update the "UpdatedDate" field automatically when I change ANY other field in that specific record.it has to be set to the current server time.
Hi i have 2 sql servers ie solomon(acounting package) and production server. so if i'll change the data ie customer info in solomon then it'll be update the data(related tables) in production server automatically.how it'll update the customer info from one server to another server automatically after making changes. thanx in advance reddy
I am new to SQL server, but I need to develop a "big" application with it. Here's my application requirements:
1)Create a table, say TableA, in SQL server 7 or 2000 database,say DB1, based on another Oracle database,say DB2, on a remote server. Update TableA based on DB2 every day in some specific time. 2) If new records are inserted into the TableA,some other tables needed to update in DB1. At the same time, an e-mail will send to three receipts.
I have no idea of which function or method I can use to fulfill the requirements. Can any experts here give me some advice, detail explanation would be grateful.
Take a Dataflow Task, with an OLEDB Source Component and an OLEDB Destination Component in it. The Source component's Source is stored in a SQLQuery variable, and the Destination component's Destination is stored in a TableName variable. The Dataflow Task is put into an For Loop container.
I just want to do one thing:
In the For Loop, everytime it send a new value to the SQLQuery variable and the TableName variable, then I could use it to transfer many tables in a same logic.
My question is: Really, I could send new values to the variables and make it go. But everytime it says "The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns." Because the external metadata was recorded and not be change automatically everytime of Loop.
How to update the source columns'metadata automatically?
I have database on localhost and i want to show this data on my website. I want to create a database online and want to sync with Local Host. Can it be possible syncing data automatically after some interval?
I'm trying to update (increment) Company.SumtotalLogons from CompanyUsers.NumberOfLogons where CompanyUsers.CompanyID = Company.CompanyID
I'd like to either write a formula (if it is even possible to fire a formula from one table update/insert to increment a field in another table), or a stored procedure that triggers an auto update/append into Company.SumTotalLogons
I know this is possible in access, so i'm wondering how to go about it in ms-sql?
I know 2008 MS SQL Server has a timestamp data type that adds date and time when the rows are inserted. Is there a way to automatically update the date and time when the rows are updated?
I have one stored procedure for insert, update and delete operations, I need automatically logged the insert,update and delete operations. How can I set auto logged mechanism and how can I access the logs in c#? Thanks

I am new to SSIS and everything in it. I have been reading up on it but I am stumped. I need to do the following: Automatically open a .csv file that will have a different name each day Extract the data Convert it to SQL format Append it to it to an existing SQL table in my DB Delete or move the .csv file to a different directory
In our database, we have a very large table that gets updated every morning, start of the day is copying 4 million rows from the fact table from previous date to today's date in the same table and then some other processing. It takes 1 1/2 to 2 hrs to do this. There is a dts package created to copy these rows into temp table and then to this fact table.
This table has more than 200 million rows
Any ideas on how to accomplish this without doing the copy twice and not running into locking problems.
I am setting up SQL audit on sql servers in my environment based on requirement. I want to create database specifications ASAP database created. I tried DDL trigger but Audit doesn't support triggers. So I created audit specifications on model database. the only problem with this is every specification created on new database with same name.database specification name includes newly created database name or other methods to create database specifications on newly created databases.
I want some ides rearding sending mail at specified time. I want to send mail at everyday 3:00AM from SQL Server. I have stored procedure to send mail.
Does anyone know at what point SQL Server 7.0 decides to grow the database when the autogrow option is set? Our site just went down for 45 minutes because the growing process was taking too long as compared to the data coming in, so the device filled up.
Ray? Craig? You guys seem to know all, so jobs.com appreciates your input...
Our auditors are trying to enforce a requirement that all users be disconnected from any application or database after 15 minutes of inactivity. Is there any way to force a logoff within SQL Server? For example, someone is in Management Studio connected to a database. They should be logged off after 15 minutes of no activity.
When I create a setup program for my vb.net 1.0 app which has embedded sql express database, it successfully copies the database to the new machine alone with the upgraded app.
However, if I just copy the vb.exe app to the other pc and also copy the mdf, ldf files, I get an error opening the sql database.
I am presuming that the setup program does some kind of backup restore or detach, attach to copy in the .mdf.
If the user cannot do this from the management studio (or if they do not have the management studio installed), is there any way I can create some method to have this copying done automatically via some code by the user?
For a GPS utility project we are planning on extracting certain attributes from a huge "GPS Raw Data" read only database which we have access to containing GPS data from several years from several devices attached to vehicles.The data is time stamped. Where the time gap between pieces of data is more than 10 minutes, a new trip is instance is assumed and in our write access "Trip" database we create a new instance for the data clump with a new trip id along with the time range of the data. The process is to be run hourly to update the "Trip" database with new trips and append to overlapping trips. We've some questions:a) Is it easy to read from one database and write into another in c# hourlyb) How would one go about running a C# program automatically every hour on the server?c) Is there a better way to do this than an hourly update? (dynamically perhaps??)d) When querying the database and comparing the time stamps, how for instance would we go about identifying a 10 minute gap when the time/date is in the format "22/12/2007 11:25:00". I can't get my head around actually writing this - it's probably ridiculously simple
I have question about database automatically growing for SQL Server 7. It seems to me that SQL database automatically grow will ONLY happen when it's getting really full, maybe above 90% full. Even if you manually increase the DB size, actually the increased DB size will only keep very short time. And DB size will be back to the smaller size again. If you have any suggestions I will be really appreciated. Thanks
I have a database that I have made with Sql Server 2005 Express. I am building a windows app using this db as the back end. I am using visual C# Express as well.
I found out during this project that I had to detach my database in order to establish a new connection to it using the express editions. I learned that this is a short coming of the Sql Server 2005 Express Edition. So I detached my db. When I reattached my database the name had the path to where the file was in it's name. I don't think I have done anything to cause this. But, obviously something went wrong.I have a jpeg screenshot of this but can't post it in this forum.
I created another small database as a test to see if the same thing would happen again. The database only has one table with two columns. I detached and then reattached it with no problems. It did not get the weird file name that automatically included the path to the file.
Does any one know what is going on with this? Do you know how I can reattach this database and only have the original name(not the path to the file)?
