How To Copy Tables From Local Machine To Remote SQL Server
Jul 23, 2005
We currently have a PPTP connection set up for our developers to
access our development SQL server through a VPN tunnel. When they
need to copy tables up to the dev SQL from their local machine they
simply do a DTS copy.
However, we are now moving to a thin client solution where they will
be working on a terminal server. They will have access to the
development SQL servers and SQL tools such as EM and QA. However,
they will not have access to their local SQL server and, therefore,
will not be able to directly perform DTS copies. We have explored
several possibilities such as exporting tables to a .csv or .mdb file
and then importing them on the development SQL server but this is not
ideal because things are lost in that process (e.g. primary keys,
field names, data types, etc.)
My question is this: Is there a way to export and then import SQL
tables without losing dependent objects such as primary keys and data
types in the process? If any of you are working with a similar
situation I would really like to hear how your remote users copy
objects from their remote location to your SQL servers. Thanks!

Hi and thanks in advance for your help.
I have a dilemma and I need some expert help with this. I am trying to make a copy of a remote Database and then replicated the DB and it's contents on my local machine so I can build a test site to run data with. I tried to remot into the server machine but I guess that feature is not allowed by the honest of the remote machine. Since I build on my local machine and would like to be able to test data on my local machine.... I would like to copy the remote DB to my local computer and then I can run my test app on my local server. The version of SQL on the remote machine is SQL Express 2005 and I have SQL 2005 on my machine. Please give me how to accomplish this please.

hello all,
I am using vb.net in windows form. I have made a module which is connected to sql server 2000.
Now, I want to have a fresh copy of the remote database of SQL Server at my local computer and whenever there is change in remote database(insertions,deletion or updation), my local database copy may gets synchronized(i.e changes get reflected in this local copy).
Can any one help me? If it is possibel by using Vb.net code, it is very well, and if there is some Sql Server wizard that can help me do that, please reply to me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I set up DB mirror between a primary (SQL1) and a mirror (SQL2); no witness. I have a problem when I issue command:
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
The error message is:
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy of the database log.
I have the steps below prior to the command. (Note that both servers' service accounts use the same domain account. The domain account I login to do db mirror setup is a member of the local admin group.)
1. backup database DBmirrorTest on SQL1
2. backup database log
3. copy db and log backup files to SQL2
4. restore db with norecovery
5. restore log with norecovery
6. create endpoints on both SQL1 and SQL2
CREATE ENDPOINT [Mirroring]
STATE=STARTED
AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT = 5022, LISTENER_IP = ALL)
FOR DATA_MIRRORING (ROLE = PARTNER)
7. enable mirror on mirror server SQL2
:connect SQL2
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL1.mycom.com:5022';
go
8. Enable mirror on primary server SQL1
:connect SQL1
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
This is where I got the error.
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy
Thanks for any help,

Hi SQL folks,
I've googled for this the whole yesterday and I couldn't find a complete solution.
I'm having a sql2005 database in my development machine and I need to copy all the content "Tables, Diagrams, PK columns and other data" to the remote production machine.
Using the Import/Export method didn't copied the relationships between tables, also it turned the PKs into just a standard columns
Can anyone help?

I try "NEW SQL SERVER REGISTRATION" using "Register SQL
Server wizard". The remote server give me the IP, login name
and password. then, I try connect option by "login using
SQL Server". But I got message say:"specialted server not found,
Connection open,create file". some times say:"client server access
denied..." some times say:"timeout". What's going on here?
So, I can not get going on with "Import data wizard".
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Any answer would be of great assistance!

Hi All
One of the step in sql agent job is to execute the SSIS package to copy files from remote shared location to local server where sql server is installed. The account on which SQL agent runs as has access to remote shared location. However SSIS package always fails with following error:
An error occurred with the following error message: "Access to the path '\sharedlocationBCKTST105092008.csv' is denied.".
We have tried using proxies but same issue come with proxy also.
When using proxy, we created a proxy for a user who has access on that shared folder on Windows server(from which files are to be copied). If we login to SSIS server with the above user and execute SSIS package manually it works fine. However if we login with different user and run the job via SQL agent using proxy of the above user, then job fails throwing same above mentioned error
Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi all,
I would be very glad if someone can suggest me what techniques I should use in the following scenario:
I have 2 SQL Server databases : DB1 and DB2. DB 1 is on a remote server (hosting server) and DB 2 is on a local server.
Some tables of each db contain tables that are polulated and changed by the appropriate application, i.e.:
DB1.users, DB1.orders,... etc are managed by "webapplication"
DB1.products ... are not managed by "webapplication" : in fact only used to read from
DB2.products, DB2.customers, .... etc are managed by "winapplication"
DB2.orders,....are partially managed by "winapplication"
Since the amount of data can go over 100000 records i'm wondering what would by the best approach to :
- synchronize the data of DB1.products and DB2.products in DB1 on remote server (updated newly added rows and update changed rows,....)
- the products data is only (at the moment) added, edited and deleted on the local server
I think SQLBulkCopy will not do the job. Should it be possible with some query? Or...?
Any suggestions are appreciated!!

Hi 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

Hi all,
Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I'm tearing my hair out over the basics when I should be spending time learning ASP.NET 2.0 and C#. I've searched the archives and a lot of people seem to be getting the same error as me, but when trying to connect from remote machines.
I'm getting what seems to be a standard message ...
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
I'm not trying to connect remotely, I'm on my developer machine. The error comes up when trying to connect from within VS2005 (Tools, Connect to Database). It also comes up if I create a new web-site and go to the ASP.NET configuration tool (this is, I guess, trying to create the necessary database behind the scenes but is unable to connect to the database).
I suspect the error might be related to one or more of the following ...
September last year I installed VS2005 Express and SQL*SERVER Express. Both were fully un-installed when I bought VS2005 Professional before installing the new product.
When I set up SQL*SERVER 2005 Developer I remember choosing an option to have a separate user on my PC with administrative rights. Actually I don't recall much about what I chose but I can't find out where those permissions are managed from.
I've followed various instructions to check that remote access is enabled (despite the fact that I'm local, not remote). TCP and Named Pipes are both enabled (and I stopped then restarted SQL Server). I've checked that the service is started.
The odd thing is that I have had an application connect with the following string ...
SSLCon = new SqlConnection(@"Server=(local)SSLMJ;Integrated Security = True;" + "Database=SSLTESTRESULTS");
Though the application connection seems to work ok, I think I'm missing out lots of developer functionality because I can't get VS2005 to see the database or server.
Help ?

First of all let me explain that I am a complete newbie to this SQL stuff. I am in the process of reading a book, and followed the books suggestions for what I want to do, but it doesn't work. I know this has been covered several times in this forum, but no one post in particular covered exactly what I want to do.
I want to copy the database from the server to my local machine.
First, do I need to have SQL running on my machine in order to copy the database? I do have Enterprise Manager running, does that mean SQL Server is running locally?
Secoond, I tried using the Copy Wizard, but when I get to the target list, my local machine is not listed. How do I get it listed so I can copy the database?
I hope my questions are not too stupid... but then I'd be stupid if I didn't ask questions.
Thanks in advance for your help...

This is what I sometimes want:
I have installed on a localmachine sqlexpress. Also my application is installed on the local machine.
But for the night-backup of the database I want to put the database on the company server.
Let's say the database is on: X:datamydatabase.mdf
Why cant't I attach this database with the manager of sqlexpress
Second:
I have installed on local machine sqlexpress AND also the database
Why can't I backup the file to the server like:
BACKUP DATABASE [mydatabase] to DISK=x:datamydatabase.bak WITH FORMAT
It looks I can only backup to the localmachine.
thanks a lot

I am trying to add a linked server from a AMD x64 server (Windows 2003) with SQL Server 2005 64 bit to a Server running SQL 2000. These are not in the same domain.
I can create a linked server using the option "Be made using the login's current security context" but can not when trying to specify the security context, i.e. sa and the sa password. When I try I get the following message:
Msg 15185, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addlinkedsrvlogin, Line 98
There is no remote user 'sa' mapped to local user '(null)' from the remote server 'DTS_FSERVER'.
I have several other x64 server that I have no problem creating a linked server and specifying sa and the sa password.
The problem with using "the login's current security context" option is that I get an error when trying to run any Jobs against the linked server. The job fails withe the following error:
Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. Access to the remote server is denied because no login-mapping exists. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7416). The step failed.
I'm sure the two errors are related. Any ideas what is going on?

Restarting the SQL Server or Reset IIS, nothing works.

I'm using SQL Server Management Studio Express and I'm trying to figure out how to copy a table(s) from my local database to my web hosting database. I know how to do it in 2000, but it's completely different now. Is this feature not allowed on SSMSE? If so, then how do I deploy database tables to a web host?Also, how do you add local database(s) to SSMSE? I tried to use 'attach database' in SSMSE and it wouldn't allow me to navigate to My Documents folder where the database resides. Thanks...

I was just trying out Microsoft SQL Server 2000. I created a sample application which reads in 2 values from a textbox and writes it into a databse. This application works fine on my computer and the values are written to the database (In the connection string, I give my IP address as the datasource so that anyone on the internet can hit this database). However, when I copy this application to another computer and try to run it, it gives me an error "SQL Server does not exist or access is denied." I know this is a minor problem with some setting, but I haven't been able to find the solution on the internet. Can someone whose worked with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 please help me out.

I'm trying to connect to a sql server machine from another machine on the network and I'm getting this error:
"An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"
More information about the machines:
All machines are on the same private netwrok, all in the same workgroup.
Machine1: this is the DB server, Win 2003 server, it has SQL 2005 developer edition, .Net runtime 2.0.
Machine2: trying to connect to machine 1, Win 2003 server, .Net runtime 2.0
On the DB server, TCP/IP is enabled with port 1433, also named pipes are enabled.
I checked the ERRORLOG and it says it's ready for connections and it's listening...Also there are no firewalls between the machines, I also added the sql server service .exe and the sql explorere .exe to the windows firewall exceptions on the DB server (although it's disabled)...
I'm not sure what else to do, I checked all sources online, applied anything related to this issue but not luck. This has wasted 3 hours of my time, this was a task that wouldn't take you a minute in older versions!! , Microsoft thinks it's making our life easier but in fact, I spend more time now on trouble shooting than before...
Let me know if you have a solution..
thanks,

I've a SQL server 2014 running on one of our server. We're in the process of implementing security steps for our databases. I've encrypted a column in one of the table in the database on the server. The issue is when I restore the backup on my local SQL server and run a query to decrypt the column data it gives me null values. On the other end when I decrypt the column data on the main server it works fine. I found a thread on this forum which states to do the following when restoring the encrypted database on different server.
USE [master];
GO
OPEN MASTER KEY DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'StrongPassword';
ALTER MASTER KEY ADD ENCRYPTION BY SERVICE MASTER KEY;
GO
select File_Name
, CONVERT(nvarchar,DECRYPTBYKEY(File_Name))
from [test].[dbo].[Orders_Customer]
I tried doing above still no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.My problem is that I need to set up a backup SQL Server 2000 machinewhich can be used in case of a failure to my primary. All databases(30 as of now) must be an up to the minute exact copy of productionand include most recent changes in data as well as any structurechanges (Tables, Views, SP's, Triggers, Users . . etc).When I tried this using Transactional Replication, the replicationprocess gets fouled up once I introduce any kind of structure changesto the DB. I've considered the idea of doing periodic backups andrestoring it to my backup SQL server, but this does not give me theconcurrency needed with 0 latency.I've seen articles that recommend using Transaction Replication with'Scheduled Table Refresh', and also doing database dumps to restore onthe backup machine, but I have not been able to find any documentationregarding this to try out. How can I implement this type of backupstrategy in SQL 2000?

I have a SQL Server 2005 instance which resides on a dedicated server hosted by a third party. I am able to connect to this server through my local SQL Management Studio, however, my local ASP.NET 2.0 web application cannot connect. I get the error below. The connection string I use is formatted as...
Connection String:
Server=thesever;uid=myuserid;pwd=mypassword;database=mydatabase
Error:

When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

The hosting providr claims that the SQL Server configuration settings are as they should be as fars as TCP/IP and Named Pipes are concerned. Does anyone know what might be going on?

I know this is strickly not a website question, but dunno where else to post...To remotely admin and monitor some functions of the website, I wish to use a local application to connect to the MSSQL DB which is held on the remote webhosting serverI have the following code: Dim StrSQLUN As String = "[UN]"
Dim StrSQLPW As String = "[PW]"
Dim StrServer As String = "[IP][INSTANCE]"
Dim StrDB As String = "[DB]"
Dim strTimeOut As String = "Connection Timeout=0;"
Dim pStrSQLConn As String = "Server=" & StrServer & ";Database=" & StrDB & ";User Id=" & StrSQLUN & ";Password=" & StrSQLPW & ";" & strTimeOut
Dim sqlConn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(pStrSQLConn)
If sqlConn.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then sqlConn.Open()
This has basically been take from the existing code on the website, but changing to the server details. I had just started dev'ing this app when the admins decided to move the SQL server over to a different server. It was working on the old one, but the new one doesn't. It just times out after whatever time you put in the timeout variable. 0=unlimited, and so just sits there.I am also using the MSSQL Server Management Studio locally to connect to the same database, and although slow, does connect after about a minute or so. I thought they would be using the same type of underlying connection to access the server and database? Is this correct?
Can they put restrictions in place for this specific sort of data access?Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue??Thanks for any helpAdam.

Hi all, I have moved hosting companies and am trying to get my website and MSSQL database sorted on the new server. I am using an enterprise type tool and can connect to the database the new hosting company has created on their SQL server with no problem. I now want to upload the data I had in the database previously. All I have to do this from is .BAK and .TRN files on my local hard drive. Using the restore option from the menu, I tried to select the .BAK file I have saved to restore from it, and got the following error:
"EXECUTE permission denied on object 'xp_availablemedia', database 'master', owner 'dbo'."
I also tried the advice given in this post as the problem seems similar and follows the same pattern: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=40841
but there are loads of users listed for sp_who - it seems to be the users for all the databases on the host's server so I didn't follow the next step to disconnect them!
Any advice as to what I need to do would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Lisa
