Hi, I'm working on Sql Server 2005 Express and I'm trying to transfer over some of my tables with the primary and foreign keys relations as well as the data in them from one asp.net 2.0 website to another.
But I can't seem to find the Import/Export option in Sql Server 2005 Express Edition, does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks in advanced.
Hello Friends,
I am right now working on a project that has a database with over 100 tables in a database. Because of extreme time constraints the developers didn't build in any relationships or constraints between or in the tables. Now I need to remodel the database such that the database is more structured and normalized. I don't have much knowledge about the database design since it is a 2 year old application and the person who developed the database is now gone. I know remodelling the database would require knowledge of the existing database and business rules.
I was wondering if there are any tools that could suggest or discover relationships between tables. For eg. Lets say there are two tables named 'Customer' and 'Order'. I notice that there is a column named 'id' in Customer and a column named 'customer_id' in Order. So I ask the tool to discover a relationship between id and customer_id and it tells me that there is a one-one or one-many or no relationship by comparing values. I heard ERWin would be able to do that but thats expensive. Please do let me know asap.
Transfer tables with Data from one database to another one on a same server?
View 10 Replies View RelatedHi all,
Currently, my (small) intranet site is storing it's data on a remote SQL server. The danger with this, as has happened several times now, is that the application is twice as vulnerable; if either the webserver or the dataserver malfunctions or is unreachable, the application won't work.
I only recently discovered the possibility to use local database files (MDF files), and this seems like a much better solution for my site. But now I want to transfer the tables that are residing on the dataserver, to the MDF file. The database only contains tables. How do I handle this? I do not have access to the dataserver, only to a few databases that are residing on it. Is this possible using Visual Studio 2008? I have read about a "Bulk Copy Program" (bcp) which is included with SQL Server, but I cannot find a download for just that application.
Or is this totally not the way to go? I've discovered MDF files are a bit more problematic with concurrent connections; having tables open in Visual Studio results in "Site offline" or "Cannot open database" error messages on the website. Problems I've never had to deal with using SQL Server, but they are only minor problems.
Thanks,
Peter
trying to get a new database created then running a script to created the tables, relationships, indexes and insert default data. All this I'm making happen during the installation of my Windows application. I'm installing SQL 2012 Express as a prerequisite of my application and then opening a connection to that installed SQL Server using Windows Authentication.
E.g.: Data Source=ComputerNameSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=SSPI; Then I run a query from my code to create the database eg: "CREATE DATABASE [MyDatabaseName]".
From this point I run a script using a Batch file containing "SQLCMD....... Myscriptname.sql". In my script I have my tables being created using "Use [MyDatabaseName] Go CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTableName] .....". So question is, should I have [dbo]. as part of my Create Table T-SQL commands? Can I remove "[dbo]."? Who would be the owner of the database? If I can remove the [dbo]., should I also remove dbo. from any query string from within my code?
Hi,
I'm trying to find the most efficient method of importing XML files into SQL Server using SSIS. The objective is to read these files created in a source directory and potentially there will be a large number of these created every second.
I've experimented with the XML Source data flow task and been able to import using either the OLEDB Destination or SQL Server Destination.Using the associated XSD file
These methods work well when there are no PK or FK relationships, i.e. the target tables are stand alone.
However when I use a schema that has relationships I need to be able to import and be able to return the key then use this key to import into another table to ensure the FK relationship and so on.....
From what I know I will need to create multple Data Flow tasks when reading a single xml file then in turn create a 'look up' on a table to see if this entity exists and on error insert using the OLEDB command and then somehow return the PK generated???
Has anyone tried this? And would be happy to share there experiences?
It seems a lot easier to use an SP and then use an execute SQL task method
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
John
hello,
i am wondering, for what i use relations between tables? if i make sure that the data inserted into the table matches, for what i need table relationships?
i have a table named Pictures with: PictureID, UserID, UserName, PictureName, Description...
do i have to make relationships between UserID from Pictures and UserId from aspnet_Users?
and the second table PicturesComments witch has: CommentID, PictureID, UserID, UserName...
do i have to makre relationship between PictureID from PictureComments and PictureID from Pictures AND between UserID from Pictures and UserId from aspnet_Users?
sorry for this stupid questions...
thanks
I am creating a small piece of software which handles a pre-advice data file, several scanner inputting weights and a supplier weight report.
The pre-advice contains a list of barcodes and details revolving around that barcode, each barcode will be scanned and a weight will be obtained, this will be place in the DB.
Currently my tables can be summarized like this.
Pre-Advice Table
Barcode
Lots of other info…
Scanners Table
Barcode
Date
Time
Weight
Which device input this information
Suppliers Weight Table
Barcode
Date
Time
Weight
Here is the process(es):
1.Pre-advice table populated.
2.When the barcode is scanned and a weight is obtained, a record will be added to the scanners table and this becomes the ‘active’ weight.If there is already an ‘active’ weight against this barcode the user will be asked if they wish to use the ‘active’ weight already in the system or update the ‘active’ weight to the weight they have entered.
3.Then when the supplier weight report is inputted into its table, should the ‘active’ weight be less than the supplier weight, the supplier weight becomes the ‘active’ weight.
At any given time a user can pull a report based on information in the Pre-Advice table, which will need to include the ‘active’ weight for that barcode’s record.
Additionally, no weights should be deleted, I need a fully traceable log of who, what, where & when. I will need to pull reports on the trials of scans so it really is a must to keep these.
Furthermore, if a scanner was to scan the same barcode after the Suppliers weight had been input and the user chooses to replace the weight then, the scanners weight should become the new ‘active’ weight.
I believe I will need to modify my tables to accommodate my needs, however I am not sure exactly what or how to set up what I need.I understand I will need some type of relationship between all of the tables to be able to pull the report on the Pre-Advice table, but I am lost.
how I will need to set up my tables/relationships in order to achieve my requirements?
There are several databases (currently in Access) that are being moved to SQL Server. Would prefer keeping those databases separate in SQL Server. How do you do something similar to Access's "link" capabilities and relate tables in different physical databases? For example, relate the authors of a document in a document database to persons in a people database where AuthorID in Docs.DocAuthors.AuthorID is related to People.Persons.PersonID
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi, I have two tables. One is called ContentRecord and it is one field, an identity field that is a primary key. I have another table that is has several fields including a field that is a foreign key called contentFK. I have set up a foreign key relationship between the tables. There is a one to many relationship. I would like to know the best way to add a record to both tables. The way I am thinking to do it is to do the insert statement to add the record to the ContentRecord which will return the value of the primary key field. Then do a seperate insert statement to insert the record into the second table where I set the contentFK equal to the returned value from the first statement. Does that make sense? Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks,
Laura
Can anyone give me an idea like, what percentage of organizations use 'code' to maintain the parent-child relations on their tables than
having FK constraints thru the db model? Because,all the companies that I worked with used 'code' to control the relationships across the tables(not the PK/FKs.!!)
Thanks.

I export all tables from serverA databaseAA to serverB (both SQL2k sp3)databaseAA with 'Success', but without any relationships. In SQL6.5 Tools of Transfer will bring all objects include relationship.
I also tried export "All Objects" which fails with unclear message. I just don't want to do a backup and restore....
thanks

Can Anybody explain me this how to Do this ?
Is this done by definning the Primary key and foreign key constraints ?
Guys,
I have 600 tables in my database, out of which 40 tables are look up value tables. I want generate truncate scripts which truncates all the tables in order of Parent child relationship excluding lookup tables. Is there any way to do this apart from figuring out Parent Child relationship and then writing the truncate statements for each of the table.
For example
EmployeeDetail table references Employee table
DepartmentDetail table references Department table
Department table references Employee table
My truncate script should be
TRUNCATE TABLE DEPARTMENTDETAIL
TRUNCATE TABLE EMPLOYEEDETAIL
TRUNCATE TABLE DEPARTMENT
TRUNCATE TABLE EMPLOYEE
IS there any automated way to figure out parent and child tables and generate truncate script for the same.
Thanks
I've been searching around for some info on how to set this up, but with no luck.I need to have a .sql file that will set up a few tables and these tables will have relationships and contraints.I can do this by hand in enterprise manager, but need to set up some procedures that will do the same thing.For instance, I can create the tables just fine.....CREATE TABLE students ( sId int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, studentId varchar(50) NOT NULL, course varchar(50) )
CREATE TABLE courses ( cId int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, course varchar(50) NOT NULL, sco varchar(50) )But, I need to set up relationships in there somehow.Once student may have many courses (one to many) and one course may have many sco's (one to many) SCO would be another table.Can someone point me to a good link that would show how to complete these procedures?Thanks all,Zath
While playing about with SQL Server 2005 I am sure that I saw a tool to do relationships the same was as in access - however now I can't find it.
Am I seeeing things or does this really exist?
When you make a join, it may look something like this:
SELECT Products.ProductName from Products, Categories
WHERE Categories.CategoryName = 'Seafood' AND
Products.CategoryID = Categories.CategoryID
In this query you use 'Products.CategoryID = Categories.CategoryID' to give the relation between the two tables. But if you already added the relationships to your database, this should be known.
My question is, why is it necessary to add the relation in the query when the relationships are already in the database? Is it somehow possible to ommit the relation in the query and make use of the relationships in the database.
Kind regards,

Transfer tables from one server to the other on a regular basis. I'm doin this using the DTS import wizard (saved it as a package and scheduled a job). But i noticed that if the table structure changes on the soruce tables, the DTS package will fail.
I want to make a DTS package that imports 6 tables, now how do i make it such that if the structure of the tables changes it shud still work. ie, everytime the tables are tranferred, the old tables on the target server must be dropped and re-created with the source server table definition. I hope this is doable.
Plz help if ne one has done this b4.
Thx
Hi!
I have 2 tables (both have the same structure):
ID -> bigint (identity, not for replication, primary key)
Url -> nvarchar(1000)
MainUrl -> nvarchar(1000)
Tbl1 cantains about 0,5 mln records, and tbl2 - 1 mln.
What I need, is to copy records from tbl2 to tbl1. But records in tbl1 are unique, and it can't change. (Unique must be only "Url"; (and ID, but it's automatic)). How can I do this in fast way? Now I'm using SELECT for each record in tbl2 to see if it exist in tbl1. But it's a bit slow... Is there any faster method? (One thing: I'm beginner in databeses, so I'm wrote VB application to transfer records. How can I do it using only Microsoft Sql server?)

I'm forgot to write, I'm using MsSql 2005.
Hi,
I am have a two tables. I want to transfer data from Table1 to Table2 but depending on BRK_TITLE. For example, if BRK_TITLE is "Testing" then table1.BRK_QUANT would go to Table2.Qty1, if BRK_Title ="My Testing" then it would go to table2.qty2 and so on...
but problem is every time BRK_TITLE changes. these are not constant titles(e.g. title may be 'abc', '134' etc)
If data belongs to title3 then it would go to the specific quantity i.e. table2.qty3
Table1:
DB_CONTRACT
ITEM_NO
BRK_TITLE
BRK_QUANT
----
table2:
DB_CONTRACT
ITEM_NO
BRK_TITLE
qty1,
qty2,
qty3,
qty4,
qty5,
qty6,
qty7,
qty8
I hope i convey my point of view?
I'll really appreciate your help
I'm using Sql Server 2012 Enterprise and have a database with over 400 tables. I am looking at one diagram which contains about 20 (or so) tables and their relationships. When I right-click on a relationship line I only see information about which tables are connected on that line but not on which fields. Can I get that information from the Diagram or can I only get that from the sys tables?

I need to develop an off-line database that replicates/copies some key tables for reporting. The info is fairly static (codes. etc.)and does not need to be real-time.
Is it feasible that I can set up a scheduled task on SQL 6.5 using Transfer Manager to copy & append data to this off-line db on a schedule.
I may not be able to set-up replication on our production server.
So, I am considering alternatives. Appreciate any input. Thank you :)
Hi,
I have two tables named Tab1 and Tab2. Both are identical in structure. The only diff is Tab2 has two more additional fields (FromDate and ToDate).
The structure is like below :
Col1
Col2 (Date field)
Col3
Col4
Also Tab 2 have
Col5 (From Date)
Col6 (To Date)
Now I want to transfer some set of reocrds from Tab1 to Tab2. The additional Tab2 field (Col5 and Col6) values should be the minimum and maximum values of Tab1 date field for the current set.
How to accomplish this? Kindly help me in this regard.
Thanks

I am transferring data from one SQL table to another. The first table has a PK on the unique id only, the second table has PK on five fields (the idea being to reject duplicate records etc. etc.).

Hi,
I am new to SQL Server 2005 SSIS Packages. I want to transfer data from multiple tables from sql server to oracle database. I cannot use export wizard as it creates new tables in the destination (oracle) DB. I already have tables created in the destination DB. When I created an SSIS package, it allowed me create package to tranfer data for only for one table from source to destination. I have created DTS packages in 2000, where you have source db and destination db and just add links for multiple tables. Is there a way I can do it in SSIS. Please let me know.
I have few issues regarding the transfer of the tables from one file group to another file group in SQL 2008 and also How can we backup and restore the particular database based on file group level.

Hello
I have a production database that i need to refresh to our test environment daily. The database size is 700 MB.
I do not need to transfer the stored procedures and triggers , users and logins.
Would a DTS package that runs every night be the best and the easiest solution to implement or should i look into log shipping and snapshot replication.
