How To Export Whole Database Schema To Another Database But Not Include The Data?
Sep 21, 2007
I need to export a database, x, of a server, X, to another database, y, of a server, Y and I need export the database schema only, not include the data.
Does anyone know how to do that?
Many thanks for replying.
I am running SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition and I was asked for a way to export the database schema (Tables and Columns and their connections to each other) to HTML. I tried googling this, but all I found was paid tools that offer this and I was wondering if there is anything integrated in the SQL server or a free tool that provides this functionality?
How can I Export Database with foreing Key and primary key.
Operation is that SQL2005 Management Studio/Database/Tasks/Export Data
Before Version is SQL2000 we can Selected Copy Object and data between server and then Use Default Options click checked and Select Copy Index, Copy Foreing Primary key vs vs
But this options is not found in the SQL2005 Management Studio/Database/Tasks/Export Data wizard or I can't found it.
How can I export foreing Key and primary key with SQL2005 Management Studio/Database/Tasks/Export Data wizard.
Well I have NO IDEA how to do this... so I'll just admit my ignorance up front.
Anyway I have some customer records that need to be sent off for mailing.
The printing company takes XML files.
They provided me with an XML Schema (.xsd file)
I need to take the data in my table and export it to an .xml file to send off.
I tried doing something like this at first:
WITH XMLNAMESPACES (DEFAULT 'urn:blah.blah.blah...') SELECT * FROM (SELECT CONVERT(varchar, GetDate(),120) AS submit_date, '999999' AS client_billing_id, customers.FirstNm AS customer_first_name, customers.LastNm AS customer_last_name, .....blah...additional fields.. FROM customers ) As Offset FOR XML RAW ('Customer'), ROOT('CustomerMailingList'), ELEMENTS Now that worked pretty well, it gave me a file that was formatted in what appeared to be the proper XML style, and I could save it and it "looked right".
However, the printers said there were a few errors and sent back a .XSD schema file for me to use.
Sounds great... but I haven't a clue on how to use it.
I've seen a few articles on how to manage existing schemas and how to store data IN the database, but nothing on how to EXPORT data.
As I understand it I just want to take data in my customers table and use the schema as a template / file mapping document to dump it out to XML.
I've create a database, I'm able to script the schema to a query window, file, etc.
I can't for the life of me find out how to export my data so that it is scripted into insert statements. The data is standardized lists of data I will be distributing with the DB.
For those of you familiar with mySQL, this would be the output of the mysqldump command which dumps schema and data all into one file
Locally I develop in SQL server 2005 enterprise. Recently I recreated my db on the server of my hosting company (in sql server 2005 express).I basically recreated the tables and copied the data in it.I now receive the following error when I hit the DB:The 'System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider' requires a database schema compatible with schema version '1'. However, the current database schema is not compatible with this version. You may need to either install a compatible schema with aspnet_regsql.exe (available in the framework installation directory), or upgrade the provider to a newer version.I heard something about running aspnet_regsql.exe, but I dont have that access to the DB. Also I dont know if this command does anything more than creating the membership tables and filling it with some default data...Any other solutions/thought on what this can be?Thanks!
HiI am using SQL Server Management Studio Express and I noticed in my data I made a big mistake(effects every peice of data I have in my row) I need to grab all these cells so I can then do a find an replace on them all and fix my mistake. I tried to use find and replace in SQL Server Management Studio Express but it seems to not work on data in the files so I am wondering how do I export all this data out so it is in a notepad file and I can just find and replace from there?Thanks
I recently added a new user to my database. Now I want to delete that user, but I keep getting the error above. What do I need to do to delete my recently added user?
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Query execution failed for data set 'TestID'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand) For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
The log file reads:
---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: Query execution failed for data set 'TestID'. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: SELECT permission denied on object 'TableID', database 'Database', schema 'dbo'.
***Background***
General Users got an error message when trying to access any reports we have created. All admin have no problems with the reports. Users (Domain Users) are given rights (Browser) to the reports and the Data Sources (Browser) and yet cannot view the reports.
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted) Cannot create a connection to data source 'DS2'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection) For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
I'll add this from the report logs...
w3wp!processing!1!3/20/2007-11:43:25:: e ERROR: Data source €˜DS2€™: An error has occurred. Details: Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: Cannot create a connection to data source €˜DS2€™. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open database €œDatabase€? requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user €˜DOMAINUsername€™.
The user has rights via a local group to the report and data source (Browser rights) and the local group has been added as a SQL login.
I gave rights to the databases themselves instead of just to SQL and the error changed (Ah-ha...progress, but why!?!?)
Trying to get my hands around all the new security features of SQL Server 2005. In Management Studio did something I don't know how to undo. I added a database role ReadOnlyRole and clicked the box next to db_datareader in the owned schemas box. Then I tried to remove the ReadOnlyRole and could not. How do I undo what I did? Is it possible?
The below is the TSQL that generates the my issue.
Use [master] go create database [test] go
USE [test] GO
CREATE ROLE [ReadOnlyRole] GO
USE [test] GO
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON SCHEMA::[db_datareader] TO [ReadOnlyRole] GO

I'm trying to find out if this is possible.. i know that you can do an execute script command and have it export the results to a script file or clipboard.. then in a new database, run that in the query window and it will recreate the table schema.. but is there a way to do the entire table, contents and all via a script in a similar fashion?
I have created a Web Setup Project for my web application which also contains a database. Currently I am having troubles scripting the database and run it during my Custom Action for the setup project.
I used the publishing wizard to create a sql script that contains both the schema and the data for the database. However when I run the script using
Code Block SqlCommannd.ExecuteNonQuery();
it fails. I believe this is because the ExecuteNonQuery method does support SQL statements like GO etc that are part of the SQL Script. So I now believe my approach is wrong. So my question is how should I script my database (both schema and data) and run this script during the Custom Action of my setup?

Hi, I'm looking for the best way to export a database to another database. Essentially making a copy of it. I need to keep all of the database structure and data. I need a way to do this all programmatically, rather then through the wizard.
here is my problem. I have to rebuild database after crash. there is no backup. So I did a bcp to get data from. But I do not have the original database so my question is how to get the full schema off the data base, tables,colomns,stored procedures etc...
Hi. I would like to retrieve the table names of a database, the column names nad its contraints of each table in a database.. How can this be achieved???
We currently have a product in which each client has their own Database. We adjust the connection when a user for that client logs into the system. This system has continued to grow and a good pace, but we have come to a point where failover is taking too long.
Refactoring the Database to handle multiple sites in a single database is not an option because of the time it would take to make the change. So, we are looking for another way in which this could be handle. One idea is to take multiple clients and place them in a single database using a schema to seperate them. (ex. Client A = server1.db1.schema1, Client B = server1.db1.schema2, etc).
Is there another option that would be better, or what kind of performance can we expect if we follow this path? Or, is there a way to decrease the failover time (it appears the problem is the startup of the database on the failover server)?
We have a RS 2000 server with a over a hundred reports, and about half as many weekly and monthly subscriptions. In reply to my request to upgrade to RS2005, the boss asked me today for a compete list of the reports, who subscribes to them, and their delivery frequency.
He was not interested in paying for a VB or C# development effort with the SOAP API that it would require to obtain a simple list from a SQL server database, since he already has SQL programmers on staff.
So how can I get this list? Anyone know of any demo code out there?
