Importing/Exporting Tables - Losing Identity
Oct 1, 2007
Hello,
I'm fairly new to MS SQL & I have a problem copying tables from one d/b to another. When I do an import or export select Copy tables, the tables & the data get transferred, but all the Identities are set to NO. My D/Bs have 188 tables & it's a pain to reset all of them manually.
Is there a setting I don't know about that will transfer the tables & maintain the Identity?
(I'm using SQL Server Management Studio 9.0)
Thanks for your help - Breck Cogdill

Hello Everybody,
Not sure if this is the correct Forum, anyway lemme me know your views. I
have SQL Server running in two remote machines (in different geographical
locations). I need to import a database from one SQL Server
installation to another installation. What is best possible solution:
1) Transfering the .mdf and .ldf file from one installation to another installation
2) Generating the records of all the tables in the database to a common
file format CSV and then loading it in destination database. If this is
ok then how to generate import and export data using CSV format
3) Any other options?

I am using the Import wizard to import a SQL2000 database to SQL2005 and noticed 2 problems:
1. all tables and views were selected; the tables were imported correctly but the views were created as tables, ignoring the "Create view" syntax. The SQL generated contains "Create table" syntax instead of "Create View".
2. when a table contained a column with an "identity" property, the data was successfully imported, but the values for the "identity" column were not preserved, instead they were resquenced from 1 with an increment of 1 (the default values for an identity). When I opened the "Edit" (under "Mapping"), "enable identity insert" was not checked.
A further note: I created all tables in the SQL2005 database before running the Import.

I have 2 machines, each running the same version of SQL Server. I'm trying to use the dts to export my data from one to the other, and it works fine, except for the fact that I lose my unique index on a field. Is there a way I can keep this from happening, or am I going to have to recreate it each time? I wouldnt think I would have to, seems like bad design to me.

I have a control flow setup with 5 tasks.
1. Create Temp Table (Execute SQL)
2. Load Temp Table (Execute SQL)
3. Data Flow Task using the temp table
4. Data Flow Task using the temp table
5. Drop Temp Table (Execute SQL)
Tasks 3 & 4 are currently setup to run parallel/concurrently - meaning they both branch directly off of task #2. They both also lead to task #5. Also, my connection manager is set to retain its connection.
Here's the problem. When executing this flow, task #3 will sometimes fail, other times it will succeed - without me changing anything between runs (I simply end debugging and run it again). When it does fail it is always because it cannot find the temp table. One thing to note is that task #4 (running at the same time as #3 and using the same temp table) always finishes first because it does quite a bit less work. Last thing to note: if I set up task 4 to run after 3 it works everytime, but of course it takes much longer for the total package to execute.
How is it that the task can find the temp table on some runs, but not on others? If this is just quirky behavior that I am going to have to live with for the time being, is there a way to force a task to re-run X number of times before giving up and moving on?
Thanks,
David Martin

dBase importing was handled by the import/export tool provide with SQL 2000. I see no way to import .dbf files in sql 2005 except to load the sql 2000 tools. I realize that the dbf format is old, but there is still a lot of stuff that comes in dbf and sql2005 needs to support this.
Where can I find an importer for dbf to sql2005?
I keep hearing lots of work arounds but nothing to explain why a common data format can't be easily imported/exported in sql2005 tools. Whats the deal?

I am not quite sure whether it is possible to export a sql table farmat into a , for instance, dbf format table using solely sql statements from my VB application. We know that ACCESS has this profile , however I have no success regarding it for my 7.0 SQL version.

I have installed ssms, and the toolkit.
When I right click on a database I don't have Import/Export under tasks. However I do have C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSBinnDTSWizard.exe installed and can invoke it manually.
What do I need to do to get it to show up in tasks?

This may be a simple question with an obvious answer, but I'm fairly new to databases and I can't seem to find the right procedure.
I created a database on my machine. If I want to copy the information from this database (columns, tables, and entries specifically) from my machine to another SQL server on a different machine, what is the best way to do this without manually re-entering all of the information?
Is there a simple export/import of a database for transferring it from one server to another?
Thanks,

I have a web application I created in asp.net + sql2005 and am deploying a genercized version of it to multiple clients. I have created a script which dynamically generates a database to a server and creates all of the tables, procs, and views. I now need data from the old database, which will be imported into the new database. It's basically default users, lookup values, etc. What are some methods of getting this data out of the old server and into the new server? I was thinking about generating flat files with the data, then writing code to loop through and insert the data, but it seems very tedious. Do I have any other options? I cannot use Backup and Restore because I have no access to the new sql server's filesystem.Thanks.

also i was wondering, that i have been reading that with this sp2 for sql server 2005 express you are able to use the dts wizard, is this true? i have a few databases in access that i would like to import into sql, would i have to create the tables first in sql then import or will the import also bring the tables & structure in?
thank you to all

I am currently redirecting lookup failures into error tables with ErrorCode and ErrorColumn. It works fine until I want to transfer data into the archived database. The SSIS pacakage generate by SQL Exporting tool is throwing an "duplicate name of 'output column ErrorCode and ErrorColumn" error. This is caused by oledb source error output. The error output automatically add ErrorCode and ErrorColumn to the error output selection and not happy with it.
I think the question is down to "How to importing/exporting data when table contains ErrorCode or ErrorColumn column?"

I am exporting data to database server from local server through Enterprise Mgr.
Data is successfully transferred along with table structures. Only problem remains with the fields which are set IDENTITY.
Even I tried to find out ALTER TABLE statement so that I can alter the tables using Query Analyzer but I found that setting IDENTITY through query is not permitted after SQL Server 6.5. Why so?
Is the any way to set IDENTITY fields without Enterprise Manager?
Please reply

Whenever I import (or even append from another table) data to a table that has an Identity column, I get an error: Cannot insert NULL values in Identity column.
Isn't the Idenity column supposed to incement automatically without me having to provide a value? Using INSERT provides an Identity value automatically, using import however doesn't.
How can I overcome this problem? (I now delete and recreate the Identity column - really BAD practice!)
Thank you.

Hi all,
I am importing SQL 2000 tables from a developer install of SQL 2000. There are no destination tables to append just new tables being brought in.
I use the All Tasks > Import (DTS) service to do this. I have noticed that the Identity columns do not maintain the Identity attributes. I have to reset them after I import new tables. Is this normal? or is there a bug here?
I checked the MS KB with no success.
Anyone have some info on this?
Thanks.

Hi,
Using Management Studio, when I import data from one identical database to another, any identity specifications get dropped from the destination database.
(From columns which have them on the source database and which had them on the destination database.)
Any way to avoid this?

I've been tasked with the following: Export data from old table, to newly created table(s). I say tables because there's three destination tables total, and only two source tables. The two old tables are virtually the same, so the new table will be a combination of the two. More importantly I'll need to chop out some data from the old tables and create new details with them. As you can see, the old table was very "flat" in the sense that they kept adding new fields for bits of detail data (10 for one type of detail, 15 for another type of detail). I'd like to house that data in separate linkable tables. This is an example of the old and new data structure:
OldTable1 (SOURCE)
Name | Acct | Detail1Min | Detail1Max | ~~~ | Detail10Min | Detail10Max | DiffDetail1Min | DiffDetail1Max | DiffDetail1Rate | ~~~ | DiffDetail15Min | DiffDetail15Max | DiffDetail15Rate |
OldTable2 (SOURCE)
Name | Acct | Detail1Min | Detail1Max | ~~~ | Detail10Min | Detail10Max | DiffDetail1Min | DiffDetail1Max | DiffDetail1Rate | ~~~ | DiffDetail15Min | DiffDetail15Max | DiffDetail15Rate |
| | |
| | |
VVV
NewTable (Destination)
AutoID | Name | Acct | TYPE | * Newly created field so I know which table it came from (OldTable1 or OldTable2?)
NewTableDetail (Destination)
AutoID | NewTableID | DetailMin | DetailMax |
NewTableDiffDetail (Destination)
AutoID | NewTableID | DiffDetailMin | DiffDetailMax | DiffDetailMax |
In the new data structure, the AutoID from the main table (NewTable) will link to the two newly created detail tables using NewTableID.

Hi all...
I noticed that when transferring tables from the local server to the remote server that some colums lost its properties ... For example, If I am sepcifying a column to have identity seed and identity increment, it is transferred to the server without these properties...
How make a carbon copy of tables from my local to the remote server ?
Thanks in advance

Dear All,
I am working on a project to migrate a .net desktop application to web based application using ASP.NET 2.0.
The present app has lots of tables with data in sql server 2000. The new app is to have Oracle 10.2 G as data store.
Although the data store is being changed most of the tables in the present database will remain same along with the data they hold.
My problem is:
1) how to transfer the tables to the new datastore 10.2 G in an automated way?
After all it's not possible to create each table afresh in Oracle and then insert records into each table one by one. If that is done it will take atleast few months if not years.
2) can I export the tables to a xml file and then import it from Oracle.How to do that?
It has become a nightmare for me.
Pls suggest the easiest way and which takes the minimum time.
A solution to the problem will be gratefully accepted.
Thanks.

I need to export data from multiple tables into one single file. The big problem here is that the tables will have different column types.
I am attempting to create something that allows users to be able to send me the contents of their tables's, through either email or ftp. I would prefer to make it easier for them so they only have to deal with one file, instead of the multiple files that bcp and dts create when exporting from multiple tables.
I was thinking of using DTS or BCP and then join (append) the files (either zip them or append the files together in some fashion), but I was hoping that there was an easier method out there.
Any ideas on how I may accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi.
I've tried to create a SSIS package to simply export a bunch of tables as flat files, and am having troubles because when the for each loop hits the second table the column mappings in the flat file destination are not synchronised with its schema.
I created a for each loop with an enumerator that returns the table names and sets a user variable.
I created a data flow task which dynamically connects to the table name variable.
In the Flat File Destination there is a column mapping property, but I don't know how to reset these mappings on each iteration.
Any ideas?

Hi, I've just got my brand new shiny SQLServer and would like to set some new tables set up etc. But I'm really lazy and I was wondering if there is any way of importing table layouts, coulmns, whole structure type thing into SQLServer from Microsoft Access using DTS? I know it's a bit optimistic, but just wondered....
Any help gratefully accepted.

I am trying to import application tables from oracle but they do not show up in the list of tables. I suspect that this is because the tables are owned by System. Is there any way other than changing the owner to get these tables to appear in the import list?
Thanks,

I am having a problem to get all datas into one table
I must get datas from 2 other tables
datas from the first table are columns
but datas of the second table are rows
I cannot change the structure of TableA because an other application is using it as it is
TableA
num | value | key
1 | a | 1400
2 | b | 1401
3 | c | 1402
4 | d | 1403
...|... | 1403
TableB
key | name | descr | value
400 | john | ok | 451
TableC (the table where I want to insert datas from Table1 and Table2)
val1 | val2 | val3 | val4 |name | descr | value
1 | 2 | 3 |4 | john | ok | 451
TableA has thousands of rows and different numbers
I must get 8 different datas from TableA
so I get an horrible Query !
SELECT
TableB.name, TableB.descr, TableB.value,
TableA_1.value AS val1,
TableA_2.value AS val2,
TableA_3.value AS val3,
TableA_4.value AS val4,
TableA_5.value AS val5,
TableA_6.value AS val6,
TableA_7.value AS val7,
TableA_8.value AS val8
FROM dbo.TableB INNER JOIN
dbo.TableA_1 ON TableB.key = TableA_1.key INNER JOIN
dbo.TableA_2 ON TableB.key = TableA_2.key INNER JOIN
dbo.TableA_3 ON TableB.key = TableA_3.key INNER JOIN
dbo.TableA_4 ON TableB.key = TableA_4.key INNER JOIN
dbo.TableA_5 ON TableB.key = TableA_5.key INNER JOIN
dbo.TableA_6 ON TableB.key = TableA_6.key INNER JOIN
dbo.TableA_7 ON TableB.key = TableA_7.key INNER JOIN
dbo.TableA_8 ON TableB.key = TableA_8.key
WHERE TableA_1.num = 145
AND TableA_2.num = 80
AND TableA_3.num = 3160
AND TableA_4.num = 41
AND TableA_5.num = 50
AND TableA_6.num = 51
AND TableA_7.num = 53
AND TableA_8.num = 56
how can i do it in the best way ?
Thank you
