How To Access 2 Databases On Separate Servers From Within The Same Query
Apr 10, 2008
Hi,
Im trying to access data from a database on another server in a SQL 2005 query.
use Bury2k29.ServiceDeskForms
select .......
but I get the message
could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'Burky2k29'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
Bury2k29 is the name of the server, and ServiceDeskForms is the database I want to access.
When I open a blank query and enter only the code to access that database it runs fine.
Any ideas?

I have NT SQL 7 and Web Server on same box. I have a new server with W2K and SQL 2000 installed (no IIS). I am migrating the databases over and when done I will install W2K on the old box and it will remain the IIS Web server front end to the new SQL 2000 Server.
On the old configuration, IIS and SQL 7 on the same box, I added the IUSER to the database from the local computer users list when needed for web access. How do I add that user now that the boxes are seperate? The acccout is not a local account on the new machine and the account is a loca account on the other machine so it does not authenticate to the domain so I can't pull it in from there.
Thanks for any help.

Currently we have one customer database containing various tables. As part of requirements for a new client, we need to manage their data in a totally separate database. The tables and structure are exactly the same but we would be loading data into a separate database.
I am looking for a way to combine tables with the same name in each database when I run queries, rather than having to query each database separately. Currently we actually have many queries set up in MS Access which use an ODBC link to query the data off SQL server. I am aware it is possible to apply a UNION SELECT in Access from 2 separate ODBC connections, but this is extremely slow.So my initial question is - is there a way to provide access to the tables from both databases over the same ODBC link? If this cannot be done over ODBC I guess we can consider more "modern" methods, but ideally we want to keep this in MS Access as that is where our existing queries are based. I was hoping that some kind of view can be treated as an ODBC connection.I mentioned ideally we want to keep the reporting queries in MS Access.

In database DB1, I have table DB1.dbo.Suppliers1. This table has an ID column of type INT named SUPPL1_ID
In database DB2, I have table DB2.dbo.Suppliers2. This table has an ID column of type INT named SUPPL2_ID
I would like to update DB2.dbo.Suppliers2 based on values from DB1.dbo.Suppliers1 joining on SUPPL1_ID = SUPPL2_ID.
How can I do this in SSIS?
Assumptions:
linked servers are not an option, as I want the SSIS package to be portable and not dependent on server environments.
TIA.

Hello,
We have adedicated MS-SQL Server for our CRM database and we have another MS-SQL database server for in house applications, written in c#.Net 2.0. To avoid duplicating information already in our CRM database, it would be nice if we could build a query that combined columns from both data sources.Example
Code Snippet
CRM database on Server1
Table Accounts
Columns
AccountID UniqueIdentifier Primary Key
Name NvarChar(50)
Application Database on Server2
Table Transaction
Columns
TransactionID UniqueIdentifier Primary Key
AccountID UniqueIdentifier
Amount Money
Would it be possible to create a T-SQL statement that will select
Code Snippet
Select
Server1.CRM.Accounts.Name,
Server2.Application.Transaction.TransactionID,
Server2.Application.Transaction.AccountID,
Server2.Application.Transaction.Amount
From Server1.CRM.Accounts INNER JOIN Server2.Application.Transaction
ON (Server1.CRM.Accounts.AccountID = Server2.CRM.Transaction.AccountID)
I appreciate there will need to be 2 connections and therefore some credential information would need to be passed too.
Is anything like this possible? I do not wish to copy the Name field from Server1.CRM.Accounts to Server2..Application.Transaction as this is duplication and any change to the value of Server1.CRM.Accounts.Name would not be reflected in the results.
Many thanks for any information provided.

I need to do a inner join on tables from two separate databases. I understand that you can do this by using this type of syntax:
select a.col1, b.col2from db1.dbo.tab1 a, db2.dbo.tab2 bwhere a.col1 = b.col2however, how do I reference the two databases in the following code?
Thanks,
Tim
Function GetConnectionString() As StringDim ConnectionString As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MainWeb").ConnectionString
Return ConnectionString
End Function
Using conn As New SqlConnection(GetConnectionString())
conn.Open()
Dim sql As String
sql = "SELECT CaskInfo.CaskID, CoCInfo.CoCName, AmendmentInfo.AmendmentName FROM CaskInfo INNER JOIN CoCInfo ON CoCInfo.CoCID = CaskInfo.CoC INNER JOIN AmendmentInfo ON AmendmentInfo.AmendmentID = CaskInfo.Amendment WHERE "For i = 0 To UBound(words)
If i > 0 Then sql = sql + " OR "
sql = sql + "(CoCInfo.CoCName + ' ' + AmendmentInfo.AmendmentName) LIKE '%" + words(i) + "%'"
Next
' lblResults.text = sql' Exit Sub
Dim com As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(sql, conn)
Dim result As SqlDataReader = com.ExecuteReader()
Dim SearchResults As StringWhile result.Read()
SearchResults = SearchResults + result.GetInt32(0).ToString + " " + result.GetString(1) + " " + result.GetString(2) + "<br>"
End While
result.Close()
lblResults.text = SearchResults
conn.Close()
End Using

I have two databases with multiple tables. Same tables same fileds.Both databases contain records, but they should not match each other.(I will run a report for matches before this and delete any data thatis not current to ensure this is the case)How do I go about moving data from one of the databases to the other inorder to create a single database with all the data? Unfortunately mySQL is limited and I cannot image how I would work around the uniqueids. Append or update maybe?Thanks in advanceAndrew

I have an existing database with approx 500,000 rows and accessed by afew hundred users per day creating approx 1,000 new records per dayplus typical reporting - relatively low volume stuff for SQL Server.I'm about to add a process that will be importing data daily fromlegacy databases and summarizing it for reporting purposes, integratingit with the existing database. This volume of data will be considerablyhigher, perhaps 100,000+ rows per day, which will be deleted once ithas been summarized and the results written to some intermediatetables.Is there any concern about mixing different levels of volume within onedatabase? As I'll be creating lots of rows daily and then deleting themI was wondering about fragmentation, transaction logging etc. andwhether having this processing in a separate database from the mainapplication would be 'better'.

We have multiple databases on a single instance in an OLTP environment. I have my data files on a separate SAN LUN from my transaction log files (and a few NDFs split out onto additional LUNs). I was wondering if there is a performance benefit to putting each LDF file on its own LUN? Or at least my few busiest LDFs?
We are currently on 2012, but I'm having to put together specs for a 2014 installation and need to answer this question without having an environment in which I can benchmark different setups. I just want to hear whether or not others have done this (why or why not?).

Hi, If you have 2 databases with the exact same table columns, and in the first database in a table column the indentidy seed starts at 1 and finishes at 32,000 can you attatch a second database so that the indentity starts at 32,001and carries on. What happens if you create a site and run out of disk space and need to attach another database which is located on another server??? I am really confused about this.Hope someone can give some links to some articles about this as I can't find any information about it.How can this be done? Thanks

Hello,This is my first post, and i am looking for help about Databases in remote servers.This is my problem:1) I have a free account in "HostBasket", with 50 mb of space, and 10 mb of SQL Server... with ASP.NET 2 support --> http://www.hostbasket.com/dotnet2.shtml?LinkFrom=100602) They gave me this info for the database:Your SQL Server: sql15.hostbasket.comYour database name: myDatabaseNameYour login for the database: myLoginYour password for the database: myPasswordConnection string for ASP.NET (using ADO.NET with System.Data.SqlClient namespace):Persist Security Info=True;User ID=myLogin;Password=myPassword;Initial Catalog=MyDatabaseName;Data Source=sql15.hostbasket.com 3) Actually, i don't know what to do with that info... I mean, i have read so much info, and all people saying "their way" to do things... oh, I am so confused...4) I read in a website, this: "the database can be uploaded as a FILE saved in the App_Data folder, under the .mdf extension"I read that from : http://dotnetjunkies.com/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/data/vwd.aspx5) In the url given above, there is a "step by step" example... i follow it, exactly (i start a asp.net website, i create the database and the table, i show the data with the grids, etc )6) All is OK until here, i mean, when i run the website with VWD, it shows me the info OK.7) But... ¿How can i do this works on the Remote Server i described in 1) and 2) ?I know how to upload my website, in fact i uploaded a very basic one, and all was OK, but when i work with databases starts my problem...So, i am almost sure, that i have an error in the "Conecction String"... connectionString="Data Source=.SQLExpress;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MiBaseDeDatos.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" ¿How should it be, to work with my free remote server?or,if you have done the "easy way" of uploading the .MDF file in the server (but a server different of mine) please, tell me the "how to..." (and the server you used :p )--------------------Ok guys, i am a Chilean young (i dont speak english very well) and i tried to write my ideas in an easy way, so I REALLY HOPE you can help me.I am a New (very new) on this (vwd , .net , asp.net ) in fact, i am using this just 3 days ago...THANK YOU SO MUCH,Carlos,La Serena, Chile.

I need some advice on copying databases, stored procedures, views, logins ..etc from a SQL Serevr 7.0 server, to a new SQL Server 2000 server.
Is it better to backup the databases on one server and then restore them to the other. Or id it easier to use the Wizards to Import everything from new server, or to Export everything from the old server ?
Any advice would be appreciated. I need to ensure that I do not miss anything, in particular Stored Procedures in the old master database.

Hi,
I was wondering if the following is possible: I have 2 SQL Express servers on different machines. One holds the production and one the development database. On a request basis I'd like mirror all the data of the production database to the development database. Right now I have to stop the sql engine, zip the mdf, send it over, attach it to database, etc. and that's quite cumbersome. So, is there an easier way to do this? If not with SQL Express, is it possible with the full version?
Thanks,
Tom

Dear all
I have tow server on the same intranet. One server has a sql server 2000 database and the other one has SQL server 2005 databse.
The sql 2000 database has a table called employee. When ever a new employee is inserted in the database i would like the same values to be sent to the sql 2005 database. But this cant be done on the application level. It has to be done in the database. The application level can not be changed.
I was thinking a trigger but how to achieve the writing from one database to another. If they were on the same server then it would be easier but because they are on different servers i dont know how to do it.
Has anyone had similar issue before?
Any help is apreciated.
Sincerely
Dan

I'm working with the SQL Report Viewer in VS2k5. In the Data tab, where the Dataset drop down list is, I click the "..." to edit the dataset. I am currently using the following for the datasource...
Data Source=ServerName;Initial Catalog=DatabaseName
In one database, I store an employee ID number. I need to access a different database on a different server to reference the employee ID and pull the employee's name. Is there a way to specify two different databases on two different servers in the connection string above?

INSERT dbo.ResultsTable
SELECT SourceTable.* FROM B.BB.dbo.BBB SourceTable

Hello:
I'm working with two sql servers instances, ServerA and ServerB, which run under two different service accounts on different machines. They both have a database, DatabaseA, that has some encrypted fields.
If I take a backup of DatabaseA on ServerA and restore it on ServerB, I need to re-encrypt the Database Master Key (DMK) with the Service Master Key (SMK) as follows:
OPEN MASTER KEY DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'pwd used to encrypt DMK'
ALTER MASTER KEY ADD ENCRYPTION BY SERVICE MASTER KEY
However, if I again take a backup on ServerB and then restore it on ServerA, I can use the DMK on ServerA without re-encrypting it with the SMK.
Shouldn't I have to re-encrypt the DMK with the SMK everytime I restore from a backup that was generated from a different server?
Thanks,
Cyndi

I have run into problems trying to use backed-up encrypted databases. I have an ASP.Net/SqlServer 2005 website for which I have production, test, and development environments, each on its own box. I have set up encryption using Master Keys, Certificates, and Symmetric Keys using the following commands:
CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'password'
CREATE CERTIFICATE CERTIFICATE_NAME WITH SUBJECT = 'My Website'
CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY KEY_NAME WITH ALGORITHM = TRIPLE_DES ENCRYPTION BY CERTIFICATE CERTIFICATE_NAME.
All databases have the same certificate and symmetric key names. The Production database has a different password than the development and test databases.
I am running into problems when I back up the development database and try to move it to the test environment. When I do the move, and then try to access the encrypted data, I get an error "An error occurred during decryption", even though they are the "same" database (I originally detached and copied the development database to the test box when I set up the test environment) with the same password.
I then try the following commands, which I used when I brought the development database over to the test box the first time:
OPEN MASTER KEY DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'password'
ALTER MASTER KEY REGENERATE WITH ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'password'
This caused the following error:
"An error occurred while decrypting certificate 'CERTIFICATE_NAME' that was encrypted by the old master key. The FORCE option can be used to ignore this error and continue the operation, but data that cannot be decrypted by the old master key will become unavailable."
So, how do you set up encrypted databases so that you can backup from one database server and restore on another? This problem will be very important when I set up a backup production database server.
