Creating A Database From Multiple Databases Accross Multiple Servers
Sep 13, 2007Hi,
I'm trying to create a database that takes specific information from a number of databases on different servers to make some reporting that we have much easier.
I'm pretty new to SQL so I'm not sure of the best way to proceed. I read an article that suggested I use the OPENROWSET command. The problem is, the version of SQL that came with one of the programmes we use is limited and will not allow you to turn on the allow "Ad Hoc distributed Queries" so the SLQ statement will not execute.
I'm confused why it won't let me to connect through ODBC as I've created a web page that selects data from this database with no problems!
Here is the SQL statement that I've written to make sure it is the correct one (on the msdn library page it said that this was the ODBC connection):
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL','DRIVER=(SQL Server);SERVER=APPOLOACT7;UID=sa;PWD=***************',
'SELECT * FROM MDCTestAndDev.dbo.TBL_CONTACT') AS a
I've also created the ODBC connection using the tool on Administration Tools>Data Sources ODBC
Any help would be greatly appreciated (also any ways of selecting from one database and inserting it into another will be helpfull)
Thanks
Setting Up SQL Server Encryption Between Multiple Servers And Databases
Feb 23, 2007Greetings.
I have a setup/deployment question regarding SQL Server Encryption.
Internal database encrypts data in 3 different tables. This could execute on any one of 6 different servers.
The tables with encrypted data are replicated to another database on different servers (3)
How should the keys/certificates be created so that the data in the replicated database can be decrypted?
In my test scenario so far, I have been unable to have the second database decrypt the data that was encrypted on the first database (currently on the same server).
-- Create Database Master Key
CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY
PASSWORD = 'p@ssw0rd'
GO
-- Create Certificate
CREATE CERTIFICATE MyCertificate
WITH SUBJECT = 'My Data Encryption Certificate',
EXPIRY_DATE = '10/31/2010';
GO
CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY MyKey
WITH
ALGORITHM = AES_256,
IDENTITY_VALUE = 'My Symmetric Key',
KEY_SOURCE = 'Unique phrase that will be used to secure the key'
ENCRYPTION BY CERTIFICATE MyCertificate;
GO
Transact SQL :: Looping Through Multiple Servers And Databases In Stored Procedure
Aug 27, 2015I am doing some administrative tasks and need to collect some principals information from multiple instances and user databases.
I have table "dbo.instances" with list of instances.
I have databases from "sys.databases".
How can I execute the query to get principals information from "sys.database_principals" on each remote instance and database. I know that can use cursor, but not sure how to do this with multiple servers and databases.
Report Designer: Need To List Fields From Multiple Result Rows As Comma Seperated List (like A JOIN On Parameters)
Apr 9, 2008
I know I can do a JOIN(parameter, "some seperator") and it will build me a list/string of all the values in the multiselect parameter.
However, I want to do the same thing with all the occurances of a field in my result set (each row being an occurance).
For example say I have a form that is being printed which will pull in all the medications a patient is currently listed as having perscriptions for. I want to return all those values (say 8) and display them on a single line (or wrap onto additional lines as needed).
Something like:
List of current perscriptions: Allegra, Allegra-D, Clariton, Nasalcort, Sudafed, Zantac
How can I accomplish this?
I was playing with the list box, but that only lets me repeat on a new line, I couldn't find any way to get it to repeate side by side (repeat left to right instead of top to bottom). I played with the orientation options, but that really just lets me adjust how multiple columns are displayed as best I can tell.
Could a custom function of some sort be written to take all the values and spit them out one by one into a comma seperated string?

Can't Get List Of Servers
Jun 11, 2007I can't get my server to show with the DMO function ListAvailableSQLServers or with the osql -L flag. The OS is windows 2000, but the drive is fat32 and doesn't have Directory Service.
Do you need NTFS to have Directory Service, and does SQL Server need Directory Service to broadcast its available servers?
I've got Visual Studio .Net and had no luck when I searched for an answer.

Easiest Way To List All Data Sources Servers?
Dec 1, 2007SQL Server RS 2000 SP4
I'm trying to find the easiest way to get a list of every data source on a RS instance, including the name of the SQL Server that the data source points to. We want to make sure none of the data sources point at our primary OLTP server.
I looked at the DataSource table in the ReportServer DB, but of course the connection string info is encrypted. I'm hoping that I don't need to resort to writing .net code to hit the web service.
TIA,

Connect 2 Databases On 2 Servers ???
Sep 4, 2007Hi, 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

Feb 15, 2002I 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.

Jan 25, 2008Hello,
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.

Synchronize 2 Databases On Different Servers
Apr 10, 2006Hi,
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
Exchange Data Between Databases On Two Servers??
May 29, 2007Dear 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

Restoring Encrypted Databases Between Different Servers
Jun 20, 2007Hello:
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
