Many Databases Vs. Many Tables
Apr 14, 1999
Hi,
I'm writing an intranet application - a web survey engine.
I'd like to create a new database for each user that creates a survey form...
versus creating new tables for each survey.
Memory and disk space is not exactly the problem... just user permissions. If I dump all the results onto one database, doesn't it mean that this user can have access to all other tables(including the results of other surveys??)
Question is, does SQL Server reserve a bunch of memory for each database that I create, thereby hogging up a lot of space if I create more than one database.
Thank you.

Dear Readers,Is it possible, like in Access, to link to tables in other SQL databases that are on the same server? I have a query that I originally had in Access that queered from multiply databases. It did this by having those other tables in the other databases linked to the database that had the query.

Credit for this script really goes to ToddV (see http://www.sqlteam.com/Forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13737)
The following script issues a DBREINDEX command against every table in every database on your server. It can be modified to issue other commands, but this one in particular is helpful as we are migrating about 30 databases from SQL 7 to SQL 2000 (new server) and re-indexing is recommended. Here's the script:
DECLARE @SQL NVarchar(4000)
SET @SQL = ''
SELECT @SQL = @SQL + 'EXEC ' + NAME + '..sp_MSforeachtable @command1=''DBCC DBREINDEX (''''*'''')'', @replacechar=''*''' + Char(13)
FROM MASTER..Sysdatabases
WHERE dbid > 6 -- skip the 6 built-in databases. Remove to process ALL
PRINT @SQL -- Only if you want to see the code you're about to execute.
EXEC (@SQL)
Notes: There is a limit (nvarchar 4000) to how big your command can be, so too many databases will halt this.
------------------------
GENERAL-ly speaking...

Hello,
Let's say I created some tables in SQL server using the designer. Tables -> Right click -> New Table ->... How would I send someone else the script for creating that table? Or how would I send somebody else the tables?
Thanks.

I am using Vista Business with Visual Web Developer and Sql Server Express 2005. I want to be able to access the data from two tables in a query. Both tables are attached to the application.
To refer to the two databases I have used the following
DATABASE.OWNER.TABLE (specifically TaskMgr.dbo.TaskTable)
For both databases I get the error "Invalid object name"
What am I missing?
Thanks

Hi :)
I would like to know if it is possible to link two databases together
(in my case ASPNETDB, and another mdf database) so that I can run
queries on those shared tables. For example, I would like to use the
uniqueidentifiers from the ASPNETDB tables in my own tables.
Thank you!
(I do use the latest version of Visual Web Developer).

Hey everyone. I am somewhat of a newbie to the database world.
I have been given the task of connecting two different SQL databases. Both are Microsoft SQL.
I want some of the tables of one of the databases to be linked to the tables of the other.
Is this possible?
Thanks

I have two databases that each contain the same tables, but different data in the tables. For example, each data contains a table with the same name, arcus, that holds data on our customers. Although the data is different in each table, there is some overlap, particularly in the area of customer number since that is assigned automatically when a customer is entered and serves as the primary key for that table.
To consolidate, I need to merge the two databases. How can I import the data from one table in second database into a table in the first database and append a number to the customer number so that all data will be brought across.
To better illustrate:
database one has an arcus file with a field cusno and contains cusno 1-50
database two has an arcus file with a field cusno and contains cusno 27-58
The overlapping cusno's are not the same customer.
How can I get all the cusno from the arcus file in database two to the arcus file in database one?
Is this even possible?

Hi,
I am trying to relate two tables but both are from different databases. I have a database 'Current' which has a table 'case' and another database 'Org' which has a table 'employee'. I want to establish a one-to-many relationship between employee and case. I created a coulmn 'employee_key' in the case table & entered values matching the pkey of the employee table. Then I wrote a query using joins to access the table records.
select Org..employee.pkey, Current..case.assignedengineer, Current..case.pkey from Current..case join Org..employee on Current..request.employee_key=Org..employee.pkey
Although the above query works fine, there is no relation between the two tables of the two databases, I wanted to know if this is the right way to achieve what i want to or is there a way in which i can actually create a relationship between tables of two different datbases. Can anyone suggest/help???
Also, I wanted to know if i can relate 1 table of SQL Server db with another table of Oracle DB. Please help ...........
Thanks

My boss has asked me to look into this and I haven't been able to find any information on the web. I hope someone can answer this for me. We currently have a single database that is storing all the user information and transactions. Within the same database we are also logging different types of user activity. If both these tables are heavily used, would it make sense to separate it into different database, one for data and one for logging? Is there any pro or cons of having more than one database? Any opinion or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. I'm the closest thing they have to DBA and I'm really new to this. Thanks.

In a database, I am creating a new db. From there, I am setting up thetables, so that I can eventually create a front end (usually access,but I may attempt to be brave and lose the shell.) Anyway, I want touse a table, read-only for a lookup. It exists in another database onour system. Is there a way for me to link it into this database that Iam working on? I would think of it like in access when you go to do anew table and you choose to link the table from somewhere else. Thatis what I want to do. Can anyone possibly step me through this?I know basics of sql server and like to learn.Thanks!

Hi.I'm currently working on a project which involves the creation of aweb page which reports selected data to customers from two back-endsystems. I use ASP script language on IIS, the server is MS SQL 2000.Now I'm struggling with combining two tables from the differentdatabases. I'm sure it's simple enough, but I'm a little short on theSQL expertise.I've got two databases, db1 and db2, and then two tables, db1.t1 anddb2.t2. I need to combine these two tables (both tables have amatching key field) to make a list of all items from db1.t1, and thosewho correspond from db2.t2.I can list all items from db1.t1, but I can't seem to get the db2.t2joined in.Can anybody help me with the syntax for this, please ? Help !Answers, hints & tips greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance !Kenneth

We have created a view that selects from tables in two databases. it looks like something like this:
CREATE VIEW myview AS
SELECT col FROM db1.mytab
UNION SELECT col FROM db2.mytab;
Both tables have col as primary key.
When we executes SELECT col FROM myview WHERE col='SOMEVALUE' we receives the correct result but SQL server does not use any indexes. It performs a index scan on both tables. Wh and what can we do about it? The tables contains millions of rows so the performance is terrible.
The following works fine:
SELECT col FROM db1.mytab WHERE col ='SOMEVALUE'
UNION SELECT col FROM db2.mytab WHERE col ='SOMEVALUE';
Qe are running SQL Server 2000 and TRANSACT SQL
Best regards

There are several databases (currently in Access) that are being moved to SQL Server. Would prefer keeping those databases separate in SQL Server. How do you do something similar to Access's "link" capabilities and relate tables in different physical databases? For example, relate the authors of a document in a document database to persons in a people database where AuthorID in Docs.DocAuthors.AuthorID is related to People.Persons.PersonID

Hi,
I want to get the results of a query between 2 tables that exist in the same server but in 2 different databases. I want this query to be executed in a stored procedure (use the reults in a cursor), or if it's possible to be used in an ado dataset or a simple dataset in Delphi. Can this be done also if the two datases (MSSQL) exist in different servers??
Can anyone show an example of how to accomplish these tasks??
Best Regards,
