Hi,
Is there any tool to find the differences between the two databases. I would like to know the differences in developmental server and Production server. if the developers create any new objects, I want to migrate them to production server.
Can we do it in sql server 200 or do we need to have separate tool.
Thanks in advance.
I have Two Database that exist on Two seperate servers. The two database contain same schema and contains tables and columns of same name. Some tables have slight differences in terms of data types or Data type lenght.
For example if a Table on ServerA has a column named - CustomerSale with Varchar (100, Null) and a table on ServerB has a column named CustomerSale with Varchar (60, Null), how can i find if other columns have similar differences in all tables with the same name and columns in the two servers.
I am using SQL Server 2005. And the Two Servers are Linked Servers
What Script can i use to accomplish this task. Thanks
I need some guidance! We are running SQL Server 2000. We have 4 or 5 databases with the same schema, and I need to make sure that their structures all stay synched. We will have more soon. I also need certain tables to have the same data across all the databases.
I need a way to manage changes on the multiple databases! Right now I generate a script in Enterprise Manager, then run it in Query Analyzer on each database, manually. There's too much room for error here.
Any suggestions are appreciated! I am currently evaluating Embarcadero's products, but they are complicated and confusing - I'm not sure yet which of their tools is meant for this purpose.
Thanks,
Avi
Can someone recommend what SQL Database compare tool to useand why?Thank you

Hello, I need a tool for management ms sql: compare list of databases on 2 servers (not structure and/or data of 2 databases), copy from one server to second new databases, delete from the second server ... Not to propose Copy Wizard.
Thanks
is it possible to change the settings on this tool. i want to have it so that it does not time out at all? or is that possible??
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all.I'm looking for a tool which should act like some kind of middleware/logical layer bewtween the SQL server and the webbased user interface.- It should be possible to easily create simple web forms (only datainput and output) without programming effort by "clicking" the fieldsand their order on the web mask within an admnistrative interface.- It should also be bossible to add "new fields" to the database,including field type, permissions, value lists etc. (excluding anybusiness logic) without programming effort by administration.I know, that most workflow tools or "Trouble Ticket Tools", based ondatabases have this feature to easily configure new masks and add newfields to the database, but i need it as an tool-unspecific layer forthe MS SQL Server.Thank you very much for your feedback, any ideas are welcome!Best regards, Heiko.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am curious to what major differences there are between these two versions.
Trying to decide whether or not to purchase the SQL 6.5 training kit from Microsoft or not. If the code and utilities are the same, then I could probably still learn from the 6.5 version. Any thoughts, suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am having the following problem AFTER converting to VS2008 from VS2005 and SQLCE 3.5 from 3.01:
SQL CE db file has a table called Court0 with various columns of type float. I populate the values by copying floats from another table/tables. I do this via ado.net using this code snippet:
foreach (DataColumn column in this.mycourtsDataSet1.Tables[tableName].Columns)
{
string columnName = column.ColumnName.ToString();
string columnValue = aRow[0][columnName].ToString();
object cValue = aRow[0][columnName];
if (columnName.Remove(1) == "T" && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(columnValue))
{
// Add the value to the Court0 table.
DataRow[] bRow = this.mycourtsDataSet1.Tables["Court0"].Select("BookingPeriod = '" + columnName + "'");
if (bRow.Length > 0)
{
double colValue = Convert.ToDouble(cValue);
//bRow[0][tableName] = Convert.ToInt32(columnValue);
========> bRow[0][tableName] = colValue; <==== colValue is '1055.01'
}
}
}
}
This works fine in VS2005/CE3.01 BUT not in VS2008/CE3.5
In CE3.5, the value entered into the cell looses it's decimal value.
For example, '1055.01' becomes '1055.0' in CE3.5 .
Can someone explain to me why the conversion stuffs up in CE3.5 and what do I do to fix it.
Thanks,
Table struct (table1 and table2):
areacode
phonenumber
phonenumber2 (combined areacode + phonenumber) (actual column)
------------------------------------------------------------
select x.areacode, x.phonenumber from table1 as x
inner table2 as y
on x.AreaCode = y.AreaCode and x.phonenumber = y.phonenumber
result: 0
select x.areacode, x.phonenumber from table1 as x
inner join table2 as y
on x.phonenumber2 = y.phonenumber2
result: 100
select (x.areacode + x.phonenumber) as phone from table1 as x
inner join table2 as y
on (x.areacode + x.phonenumber) = (y.areacode + y.phonenumber)
result: 0
WHat's the difference between those queries? Why can't I get a result from the 1st and 3rd query?
We have a database that when an update is released (and this is very often) the release notes don't cover most of the actual changes. Every time groups of our custom queries and reports get broken due to database changes. Does anyone know how to compare two databases and get a report of the differences between them? I can either have the two versions on the same server or on different servers if that makes a difference.
I'm hoping for something where you input @oldversion, @newversion
and return is
@oldversion, tblname, fieldname, char(8)
@newversion, tblname, fieldname, varchar(8)
@oldversion, tblname, [Null], [Null]
@newversion, tblname, fieldname, int
@oldversion, [Null]
@newversion, tblname
also any changes in dependancies
Thanks

I have just converted some Access VBA code to a sproc. I'm finding that for some reason the rounding is different:
eg.
ROUND(17 * 97995 / 1000,2) = 1665.915 before Rounding
SQL SProc: 1665.91 Rounds down
ADP VBA: 1665.92 Rounds up
Does this make sense?

What's the difference between using CREATE TABLE #TempTable and DECLARE @Table TABLE for temp tables and are there any advantages or disadvantages to using one over the other?Thanks
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a server with two test instances of a data base. I have a query which creates a temp table, inserts 29 rows, perform 4 update queries to add counts and then dumpps out the results. This entire query script runs 1.33 minutes on one instance and 2.5 minutes on the other. On the production server this query now runs in 9 seconds. If I run any one of the test updates individually they execute under 2 seconds, just like the production server.
THe results are repeatable.
All are SQL 7 with all service packs on NT4 sp6. Both test data bases are backups of production from last week. I suspect some kind of caching/buffer problem, but I do not know what to look for. I am not a DBA so I have no idea what role TEMPDB plays may play in this.
Can anyone give us ideas on where to look for the performance difference? Will our impending upgrade to SQL2K solve this problem or make it worse? Any ideas would be appreciated.
I am updating a db with data from a file, in this data we have new info, info that has been updated and info that is to be removed from the db.
Now I was wondering which approach results in better performance/shorter executin time:
1. first update excisting values, then insert new ones, and last delete cancelled data
or
2. delete cancelled data and data that will be updated, then insert new and updated info
I get all this data from a file, in that file all rows are similar and there is one column that defines if the data is new, updated or to be deleted (thus all the updates also include the information for the enty that has not been altered).

Hi Guru's,
I am kind of baffeled. I have a table with a column of 8 varchar in 2000
and the same in 6.5. When I insert into 2000 with a data length of more than 8 chars via Cold Fusion into the table, it fails. The same Cold Fusion
program inserts into the 6.5 table, but truncates the data but does not fail.
Does anyone know why this happens. Thanks, Newbie.

I would like to calculate the date difference between two records:
IDStartEnd
12/9/15 13:28:412/9/15 13:28:46
22/9/15 13:29:032/9/15 13:29:12
32/9/15 13:29:172/9/15 13:29:21
42/9/15 13:29:272/9/15 13:29:31
So I need to find the difference between two consecutive records and put the result in a new column called Downtime. For example:
Record 2 Start (2/9/15 13:29:03) - Record 1 End (2/9/15 13:28:46) = 0:00:17
Record 3 Start (2/9/15 13:29:17) - Record 2 End (2/9/15 13:29:12) = 0:00:05
Record 4 Start (2/9/15 13:29:27) - Record 3 End (2/9/15 13:29:21) = 0:00:06
and so on…
Also what do I do about the 1st record since there is no previous record to subtract from?
So far I have this code in my query to generate my table: SELECT Start, End FROM group_table3
My desired output should look like this:
IDStartEndDowntime
12/9/15 13:28:412/9/15 13:28:46#VALUE!
22/9/15 13:29:032/9/15 13:29:120:00:17

I have this 2 tables:
Table1: Table2:
ID Value ID Value
--------- ---------
1 2 2 1
2 1 3 4
4 3 4 4I
need to find all differences between the 2 Tables.
A mismatch can be:
- Table1.ID exists, Table2.ID does not exist
- Table2.ID exists, Table1.ID does not exist
- Table1.ID = Table2.ID and Table1.Value <> Table2.Value
So I want to be returned:
ID Value ID Value
--------------------
1 2 NULL NULL
4 3 4 4
NULL NULL 3 4
There must be something simpler than the solution I came up with which is:select * from Table1 a full outer join Table2 b on a.Id = b.Id
WHERE a.value <> b.value or (a.value IS NULL and b.value IS NOT NULL) or (a.value IS NOT NULL and b.value IS NULL)Martin
HEY,
CAN YOU TELL ME THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN VARIOUS SQL
I am trying to test some data handling between two different versions of an application.
I have restored the database schema twice, once as DB_old and once as DB_new.
I import a transaction using the new application into DB_new and I import the SAME transaction into the DB_old using the old version of application.
I then have to eyeball the data in SQL Query Analyzer to try to identify problems where the fields have received different values.
I have done this by running a select statement twice telling it to use both of the databases and then viewing it in two grids. There are a lot of columns so I have to do a lot of scrolling across the screen to do the comparison, and since the view is in two separate grids I have to hop back and forth and click the scroll bars, etc.
It seems like there has to be a better way. I don't suppose there is a way to lock the two grids so they both scroll together is there?
I was thinking maybe I could insert each of the selects into a temporary table and then do some kind of comparison to identify which values were different in each column. Some of the columns will have differences, like the timestamp, but if I could somehow identify which columns were different then I could eyeball them to identify which of those were okay to be different and which of them were actually bugs from the changed application version.
I have no idea how to identify those individual columns with different data values or even where to start.
Just so you understand better what I am doing now here is the query I am running that I then eyeball:
use DB_new
select * from claim where claim_id = 35144
use DB_old
select * from claim where claim_id = 35144
Thanks for any ideas.
Dear Experts,
i've taken a backup from one database(which is running on sql server 2000) 'X' and restored it in another database(sqlserver 2005) as 'X' with the same name.
when i'm taking the backup, the size of the database is 59.63 MB (test database)
after restoring the same in my local machine, on sql server 2005, it became 158.25 MB.
why is this much of difference.....
any architectural difference...?

Hi,
Can any body tell me the differences b/w BCP & BULK INSERT??
Hello All,
I am a newbie when it comes to MS SQL Server administration and I am hoping you can help me out. We are migrating from a shared webhosting platform to our own internal dedicated web / MS SQL (2005) server and have encountered an error that appears to be stemming form Query Syntax.
In our old system we could simply query via the following format:
"Select [Column] from [Table Name]"
But on the SQL Server I just set up we have to query via this format:
"Select [Column] from [Database Name].[Table Name]"
We have literally hundreds of preprogrammed Queries and it would be quite difficult to change them all. Does anyone know how I can set up SQL Server to run so that our quieries do not require the DatabaseName in the statement? I have placed the connection code below, if that helps any.
Set objConn= Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Data Source =; Initial Catalog =; User Id =; Password="
Set objRec = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset").
Hello,I've got installed Win 2003 SBS Premium with the SQL Server 2000 on a servermachine. It works almost fine, except the application which uses the SQLServer. The main part of the application runs (since the last update) fine,but other tools of that application (database import and the databasemanager for check and rebuild) doesn't. They hang up or kill the database.Our software developer says that these problems are in correlation with theserver os. But there won't be any problem if we install Win 2000 Server andadd an additional SQL Server 2000.Finally my question is: Are there any differences between the SQL Server2000 Versions, which are sold (a) as a single product, (b) as part of theWin 2003 SBS Premium package and (c) as part of other Server versions?Thanks in Advance,Martin
View 6 Replies View RelatedIn previous threads I saw that in a scenario where Log Shipping is active any other Log Backup activities should be avoided in order to let the Log Chain stay intanct.
Until now we just used Mirroring and Full Backup and Log Backup. Introducing Log Shipping to a third Server in a separate location would mean that the existing Log Backup Jobs must be removed or Log Shipping will not work.
I am glad to have read these threads before falling into that trap myself.
A question was raised by my colleague who is responsible for the System and Network Administration. Are these Log Backups that will be performed by Log Shipping just differential? He would not like to see that Log Shipping is pushing or pulling Log's that grow during time.
I named to him two reasons that it must be differential. A Log Backup truncates the existing Log which implies that the next Log is just the difference since the last Backup. Also, it must be differential because the Transations can only be committed once anyway, so Log Shipping implies that those Log Backups are just as big as the incoming Transactions since the last Log Backup.
Did I get this right?
Hi there,
I'm trying to find what are the main differences between SQL Server 2005 64-bits and 32-bits. So far, I've found some articles about TPC-C performance but I would like to know some response time or execution time of a batch or SSIS packages.
Any information about this 2 versions is appreciated.
Thanks!
