My problem is this:
I have a database file on a hard disk. I have to read that data and merge it into a database on a sql server. How can you merge ? The databases are set up the exact same way. The only difference in them is the data.
Also, in the database file I have image names, I have to compare them to what is on the database on the sql server.
Thanks

Hi All,
I have to merge few different databases to one big common database :) I mean about structure (tables, procedures, users, roles etc.) and data. May you suggest, help me how I should do this. How start? Create brand new database or relay on one old and add difference from other?

I have two databases with each one on a different server. I can copyboth databases to the same server with no problems. But how do I mergethem?This is what I came up with so far but how do I do the same process formultiple rows and tables?IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT tmp_DB1.dbo.tb1.key1 FROM tmpDB1.dbo.tb1 WHEREtmp_DB1.dbo.tb1.key1 = tmp_DB2.dbo.tb1.key1)INSERT INTO tmp_DB1.dbo.tb1 (<all fields>)VALUES (<all fields>)Thanks in advance.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 2 database, one has data and one is being created on my handheld. Is there a way to merge the database together so I get the data in the tables I need in the database being create or can I add tables to the existing database so I can use that for my testing?
here is the issue;
database 1 has tables with data - but does not have all the tables I need. - pre-existing
database 2 is being created when I start my app, and creates the tables I need but no data and not all the tables.
Is there a way to merge these to, so I don't have to create a huge insert statements for each tables I need data for?
or can I do a select from database 1 and insert the records into database 2?
example: insert into tbl1 (name) select database 2.table(col1) from tbl1, is this possible?
Hi,
I want to share knowledge that we have the abality to merge the two databases in one database. As if your site is already working with data base with out login page. And you are using asp.net built in funtion to create login page there will be a new database will automatically generated with the name of "ASPNETDB.MDF". you will check it in machine.config. If you want to get its data in old one database you only open sdk dos promt and write aspnet_regsql.exe and press enter. A wizard will open for you. in first two wizard you click next without changing it. and in the 3rd page you will enter the database name in which you want to write this ASPNETDB.MDF data. and in the final page you click finished button and close the sdk dos promt.
You should go on web. config file and modify the code for example.<connectionStrings>
<add name="wordexpress" connectionString="server= localhostsqlExpress;Database=wordexpress;Integrated Security=True"providerName="System.Data.sqlClient" />
<remove name="LocalSqlServer"/>
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="server= localhostsqlExpress;Database=wordexpress;Integrated Security=True"providerName="System.Data.sqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
And then check your old database you will see that there is new 11 table added.
My question is that I cannot get these table in my old database. I have working with the same procedure. Can any one tell me if there is any mistake from my side.

Recently i got one assignment from my senior, I have to merge multiple sql server databases,
Where to start?
How to start?
What prerequisites should consider?
What factor will cause error, how to tackle that error.
Hi gang,
We have a couple of databases on separate servers that have exactly the same schema, and we would like to set up merge replication between them.
Is that possible? The few times we've experimented on test databases, the subscriber database has been trashed and rebuilt using data from the publisher, rather than preserving data from both databases.
I'm really new to replication in general, so any kind of advice would be helpful.
Cheers,
Matt
Hi all.
I 'm trying to set up merge replication between two servers that have the same schema databases. The two database have the majority of there data the same but as well as data inserted at a later time independently on the two servers. (The two servers were connected in a merge replication scheme that failed at some later time and replication was paused, but users continout to insert data indepentedly at the two servers.)
I need to get them up and running.
I cleaned replication at both servers, I recreated the publication at the puplisher distributor and all is fine.
When I create a push subscription to the subscriper I get the error invalid column name 'rowguidcol' .
I so far managed to have merge replication running on two identical databases (schema and data).
Just some thoughts. After some reading I found that it might be related to identities and identity range or indexes. I set the identity seed and increment at 2, 2 at publisher and at 1,2 at subscriper. (On the same tables at puplisher and subscriber.) Is that ok? is that the way to do it?
Digging a bit more Using the SQL Profiler I can locate the error to happen when sp_MSaddmergetriggers executes.
Thanks allot for any help

Hi, I have compact sql databases which will be local on multiple users
devices. Due to space constraints, for one of the tables i have had to use
auto incrementing integer which works fine for the local database but i
would like to merge all of the users databases into a global database. The
table format can be seen below:
Code SnippetCREATE TABLE Players
(
ID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
FirstName NVARCHAR(32),
LastName NVARCHAR(32)
);
CREATE TABLE Sessions
(
ID INTEGER NOT NULL IDENTITY,
PlayerID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER ,
SessionDateTime DATETIME,
CONSTRAINT pkSessions PRIMARY KEY (ID),
CONSTRAINT fkPlayerID FOREIGN KEY (PlayerID) REFERENCES Players(ID)
);
CREATE TABLE SessionDetail
(
SessionID INTEGER,
Time real,
Power real,
CONSTRAINT pkSessionDetail PRIMARY KEY (SessionID,StrokeTime),
CONSTRAINT fkSessionID FOREIGN KEY (SessionID) REFERENCES Sessions(ID)
);
The Players table will merge fine as GUIDs are used. However, how will the
sync capabilities of compact SQL handle the sessions table? When it pushes
the local data to the remote database will it change the Sessions.ID column
to a unique field (as no doubt lots of people will have 1, 2, 3 in their
local databases and the global database must have a unique ID), and then
transfer this changed ID back to the local database? Furthermore, if it
changes the Sessions.ID column during the merge it will also need to update
the SessionDetail.SessionID foreign key to maintain referential integrity,
is this also handled?
So my question is, how much of this sync and data merge is automated and are
there any good examples or pointers for my scenario? I cannot reasonably use
a GUID for Session.ID as there will be lots of SessionDetail entries and the
size would be far too much.
Many thanks,
Chris
I have database on SQL Server 2000 set up with a merge publication.This publication is configured with a number of dynamic filters toreduce the amount of data sent to each client. Each client has ananonymous pull subscription. The merge process can be triggered by thewindows sync manager and my application.To improve performance I have created some helper tables to hold themapping between user login and primary keys of selected entities.For the replicated data to be correct the contents of the helper tablesneeds to be up to date.I need to fire off a stored procedure on the publisher beforereplication starts to verify that this data is up to date. I can notsee any documented way of doing this however I have been experimentingwith some unorthodox systems.Firstly has anyone any ideas?I have been considering adding a trigger to some of the tables used bythe Microsoft replication code - yes I know this is very nasty.My problems arise because executing this stored procedure will causesome data to be updated. In updating data we could create a newgeneration in the database. I must therefore run my stored procedurebefore any the Microsoft code makes any generation checks / updates.Anyone done anything similar, Anyone have any better ideas?Any comments would be gratefully received.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm using merge replication to maintain a backup copy of my main (publisher)MSDE database. A push subscription periodically (1 per minute) updates the backup DB.
It's intended that if the main db goes down then the backup (subscription) db can be configured as a publisher. This must all be performed via scripting.
The initial configuration of the main publisher and subscription is controlled via scripting, which works fine.
The problems occur when I try to configure the subsciber to become a publisher. A script is executed on the subscriber but fails at the point when it's configuring the publisher detail. The error is something like "unable to configure a publication for a database setup as an anonymous subscription".
I'm guessing that there are subscritpion artifacts added to the database which need to be removed before it can be configured as a new publisher.
Please help,

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.
I just restored my SQL server 2000 database on the SQL server 2005. after this i ran the Service broker sample ("Hello World") on this database by changing the AdventureWorks name to the new database name. The "setup.sql" runs fine. When i run the "SendMessage.sql" i was not getting any rows in the output (The message was not getting inserted into the queue). I checked the Service broker is enabled on this databased using the query "select is_broker_enabled from sys.databases where name = 'newdbname' " It was 1. I even tried the ALTER DATABASE SET ENABLE_BROKER. but it didnt work.
When i tried the sample on a newly created database it worked fine.
Is there any solution to make the restored database to work for service broker.
Thanks

Hi,
I came to know that MERGE INTO is not supported in SQL Server 2005. Is there any work around for MEREGE INTO in SQL Server 2005, which does not degrade the performance to much extend. I mean is there any other way we can implement the same stuff.

How do I merge these 2 documents using the XML task in SSIS? I think I need to extract to remove the <?xml...> line from the 2nd document, but I'm really not sure what to put in the XPathString property. My documents should be the same except for the <S> tags, which will be different. The other elements should be the same. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
My production box is running on NT4.0,SP6, SQL Server7.0,SP2. We implemented Merge replication. Working fine last 7 months. Last weekend i disabled replication, Successfully removed Distributor and Publishor. After that try add new fileds but won't allowed me. It's give the error message. I Also found Some Conflict_tables found almost 20 tables. All system Tables. Can delete these these tables, if i delete any problem my database.
I added filelds many times but this time i got errors.
Please help me anybody.
I have just installed replication on our production server to Merge Replicate with a Laptop server that will travel from time to time. I have now noticed that we cannot add or change any fields or attributes on the tables which are being replicated (which are all tables in the DB). This is a problem because we are changing and adding columns all of the time. Is there a way around this issue like shutting down the replication service or something? I have been unsuccessful in finding a way around this other than removing replication while we make changes.
Thank you in advance for any help!
Does anyone know why i can't see all sessions of past synchronisations

I only see the last 2 or 3 and all older ones are deletet.
Are there better possibilities to see what was going on?

I have implemented a Merger replication on our development server and I get a fillowing error when I try to update one of the table in publisher.
"Transaction cannot start while in firehose mode"
What does this mean.
Thank You,

Hi,
I read some where that replication has two types conflict resolution, 1. row based and 2. Column based...
If I am right...
Can any one point me how to find out this option and how to set it up....

Hi all,
I have a merge replication going between 4 servers. The problem is when ever I do some BCP transfer to one of the tables in one of the servers. It puts the data in that table. But that Data does not get replicated to any other server like it should.
Please Advice on what to do. Is there any option I am forgetting to set or something.
Thank you for all your time in advance.

i tried using windows admin account and also the 'sa' account.
please help me out

Hi All,
I have posted this earlier and I am re-posting it simplifying what I had said.
The scenario is:
I have two sql server database instances with the same database schema and all. However, both of them have different data. I have not set them for replication at all. Now, I want to do merge replication between them such that the data between them could be syncronized.
When I do pull merge subscription I have two choices -
1.Bringing schema and data to subscriber from publisher
2.Not bringing the schema and data from publisher to subscriber.
Obviously, I chose the second choice. But upon syncronizing I dont see any data from publisher coming to subscriber and vice-versa. If I add new data to publisher and do syncronization, I can see ONLY the new data created after the replication setup in subscriber. If I add new data to subscriber and do syncronization then the new data is removed from subscriber and not propagated to publisher.
Is there any way I can make this work??
