Merging 2 SQL Express Databases Into 1
Mar 15, 2007
Hello,
As is known, when developing an application in VWDE that features membership as well the application's own database, you have a total of 2 databases. Seeing as a lot of hosters charge per database instance, to make the membership utility viable, it would be prudent to merge each database into one. Quite a few blogs/tutorials, including ScottGu's, recommend merging, but I'm as yet to find one that actually explains the merging process step by step. Advice such as, "run each script against the same database," simply isn't enough.
If anyone could shed any light on this topic, it would be much appreciated. Of note, I have SQL Server Management Studio as the recommended deployment tool. If one thing's becoming increasing evident, it's that it would be well worthwhile in finding a host that supports SQL Server 2005 as opposed to 2000.
Kind regards.

I'm pretty new to SQL altogether. I kinda gave myself a crash-course when the software I was using, Papertrack, was having problems. It all started when I tried to move the database. Now there are two separate databases that I can see on SQL Enterprise manager. I picked up the book and figured some things out, but still don't know how to merge the databases. I called the support for the software and got to know them on a middle-name basis. Is there a way I can merge the two databases so that the software can pull queries from both and access the files?
To anyone that likes a challenge,
Thanks

How would you solve this problem?
Would you use replication? SSIS? Schedule stored procs? A third party data tool?
We have about 50 databases located at offices around the world. There are several key tables which we need a central copy of at our Head Office.
We need only the new INSERTS or UPDATES for the day to be copied to head office.
The copying process should happen after business hours for that office.
Some cleaning of the data needs to happen before updating head office.
Our database is being installed at new offices every other month, so it's important to us that this be easy to add a new database into the schedule, ideally without needing a SQL DBA or Developer.
We want something robust, performant and easy to troubleshoot.

Hi,
I have two databases lets say DB1 and DB2.
Schemas for both databases is same.
In both database schemas there are tables which has identity columns as primary key.
Now i want to merge these two databases in a single database say DB3.
It may also possible that some master records in both databases are common so they should not repeat in DB3
Is there any way so that i can do it quickly and as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance

Hi!
I have 7 source databases and one target database, all using the same structure. The structure is made of 10 tables, with foreign key constraints.
I need to merge the source databases into the target (which won't have any data before that process, but will already have the correct schema), and to keep the relationships between the records.
I know how to iterate over the source databases (with SMO foreach), but I'd like to know if someone can advise the best copy method for that context in SSIS ? (I don't want to keep the primary keys, but I need to keep the relationships...)
Any pointer most welcome!
best regards and thanks

I have to merge the data from two databases, one is in SQL Server 2005 format, one is in 2000. The merged data will then reside on a SQL Server 2000 platform. Is there an easy way to do this through Management Studio or Enterprise Manager? Or will we have to export the data from the 2005 database to a flat file and import it into a new 2000 database. And then do the merge?
TIA

Hi,When I attempt to add the membership functionality to a database created within VWD Express, by using the aspnet_regsql.exe application (connecting to ./SQLEXPRESS using Windows authentication), the database I've created within VWD Express doesn't appear within the list of accessible databases. I have the same problem when attempting to access the same database within Management Studio Express.Does this mean that databases created from within VWD Express don't use the same storage mechanism or paradigm as those already available within Management Studio Express? Or perhaps I need to somehow register the database using Management Studio Express? As a side note, I'm not sure if the "File/Open File" menu option within Management Studio Express holds the answer to my problems, but rather bizarrely, it crashes Management Studio Express when I select it.Apologies for the rambling - in essence my question is "How can I make databases created within VWD Express appear within aspnet_regsql.exe and/or Management Studio Express?"Many thanks,Jon

This issue is just irritating: hope someone can help.... I recently deleted a whole lot of test websites on my laptop by physically deleting the folders. Each had their own SQL Express database. The database instances still show up in SQL Server Management Studio, although the databases have been removed. I can't drop the datababases with the GUI as it says they're not accessible (that would be right), and manually using the DROP DATABASE command tells me that the physical file can't be found (also correct).Is there a "proper" way to get rid of them without directly manipulating the system tables?

Hi - I use the windows scheduler to execute an SP for my SQL Express instance on a server.
The SP loops through the SQL Express databases, and makes a backup - however, it will only backup the attached databases.
Is there anyway I can modify it, to make it backup the databases in my various web sites, within the app_data folder? These aren't attached, but I think get attached when the web application needs them, then detached afterwards - so they are never permanently attached!
Thanks for any help,
Mark
The SP I use us:/**
File Name: BackupExpress.sql
Description: Backs up all databases. This script is mainly meant for SQL Express instances
The script requires a C:ackups directory by default to backup to but can be changed with the @OutputPath variable.
Accompanying file is BackupExpress.cmd, which is used to schedule the script.

Hello,
I have Visual Studio 2005 Professional.
I was wondering if there were any way to save the .dbo databases created in it to upload to my website? Do the databases must be save as a specific filetype according to the website configuration?
Do most people actually connect to their site's database to modify it or something? Or do they usually connect to an external database and then upload it to their site?
Sorry, but I am kind of new to all of this.
Thanks,
Eng

Hello,
Does anyone else ever experience this problem, and if so do you know what causes it:
When ever I restore a database called say XXX.mdf, it restores OK and I can view via MSE as XXX.mdf. Then when I visit MSE again there is another database called C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataXXX.mdf - both are linked to the same .mdf file, however if you try to expand XXX.mdf nothing happens as though the database has been detached?

1. install a SQL Express instance such as myexpress;
2. create some databases with tables such as db1 and db2;
3. Reinstall SQL Express with the same instance name "myexpress". I assume we need reinstall SQL Express myexpress again becuase of bad operations.
4. Open the myexpress by management tool but I can not see db1 and db2 databases but the datafiles and logfiles are in the data directory.
The question is what I need to do so I can consolidate exited databases so they can be seen in "myexpress" instance by management tool?

Hello all,
I would like my newly converted to .NET 2.0 Windows Forms application to use an Sql Express database instead of MSDE. Previously, development was done on the default SQL Server instance using the full SQL Server 7.0. When deployed, MSDE was used with a named instance. The connection string in the application settings needed to be modified as part of the deployment. Now I've converted to .NET 2.0 and to Sql Server 2005, and/or Sql Express.
What I'd really like to do now is have a project within my solution that, when built, creates the database by running scripts, and deploys that database to the output directory of the executable.
I want this to run as part of a continuous integration solution that, so that every so often, the entire project is checked out, built (code and data), all is copied to a bin/[debug,release] directory, unit tests run, etc.
Has anyone done this successfully? Any pointers?
Thanx,
WNC

I have a small client installable web application which used to work great on 32 bit machines. Well now clients are starting to use x64 Windows 2003 servers and things have begun to unravel. W2K3 x64 does not have any of the JET database drivers needed to communicate to the Access databases and it doesn't look like they're coming anytime soon.
Is SQL Server Express the new replacement for Access databases on x64 machines. Does Microsoft intend on moving some of the JET drivers over from 32 bit servers. I know that you can run IIS in 32 bit mode and everything is fine, but I can't ask everyone to do that.
Is SQL Server Express something that I can expect people to have installed, it sure doesn't sounds like it. After reading some posts, it sounds like it's a bit of a hastle to install.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hello,
I would like to restore SQL Server Express and its databases from a tape backup to the same server. This is a disaster recovery senario.
I backed up the Master, Model, MSDB and my own test database using SQLCMD scripts. I have no problem restoring these using task scheduler on the server before the disaster recovery.
However, in my real disaster recovery testing, When the server is restored by tape drive (HP one button disaster recovery), I try to run my SQLCMD restore scripts in task scheduler and I cannot connect to the sql server. Also I cannot connect with Management studio. I have recieved the following error in event viewer.

Hello all,
I use Visual Studio 2005 Standard. I would like to know the best way that I can create Sql Server 2005 Express databases visually since VS2005 Std. does not allow me to do it.
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance,
- Noble Bell
I'd be interested in knowing how VS doesn't allow you to create a database. What error are you getting?
There are two ways to create databases, depending on your goal:
To just create a database on your server, do the following:
Open the Server Explorer
Right-click on Data Connections
Click Create New SQL Server Database
Specify Server Name and Database Name
Your database will be created and you can start working with it.
Embed a database in your project:
On the Project menu, click Add New Item.
Select SQL Database from the list and give it a name.
Click OK
This will run you thorugh a wizard to create the database.
If your having problems doing either of these, you may not have SQL Server installed on your computer or VS might be pointing to the wrong Instance Name. Check out the Option dialog under Database Tools:ata Connection and verify that the correct instance is specified.

I am trying to create a similar project and I also recieve an error while trying to create a database...

Now let me explain what i am trying to do ...
I am trying to create a web interface for the data that I want to store in the SQL database. I have installed VS2005 & SQL Server Express 2005 on my local machine. I want to develope this project on my local machine and then transfer it to a server once i have finished the project.
If i am doing this all wrong, please let me know !

Hello,
My company works with SQL Server 2005 express locally with Visual Studio to develop websites. Everything works very well.
We use SQL Server 2005 express on our production server as well. We change the database over to a non-User Instance when the site is ready to go live. Everything works fine here as well.
We run into issues when databases get near 100 MB. This is well below the stated database size limit for Express of 4GB.
At that point, about once a day, a site with a "large" database will stop responding. The error that we'll get is "Cannot open database 'DBNAME' requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'DBUSER'
The only way we've found to fix this is to restart the SQL Express service. Obviously, that isn't a very useful alternative.
Has anyone run into anything like this? Could we have some setting wrong?
Would moving to the full version of SQL Server 2005 fix this?

I installed SQL Server 2005 Express, and Management Studio Express, while logged on as an Administrator of my XP Pro machine. When I switch to my limited user account, Management Studio Express seems not to be aware that SQL Server is even running on the machine (although Configuration Manager can see it and reports that it is running). I'm sure I've missed something simple, but I can't find the answer anywhere... how can I get access to my local SQL Server from my limited user account?

Unfortunately they're using SQL Server 2000 and I can't figure out how to migrate the databases to the older version. All my searching turns up how to do it in the expected direction.
Any pointers to how or where to search appreciated.

I am trying to figure out the best method for transferring SQL 2005 databases from 2 different physical servers to a new server running windows server 2008 64bit.I own a fully registered copy of Microsoft SQL 2005 32bit Standard Edition. However all of my SQL databases together are only 4GB in size thereby making 2008 SQL Express an option.
Here is the breakdown of the servers:
1) (Old Server1) Windows 2003 Server 32bit - SQL Express 2005 32bit
2) (Old Server2) Windows 2003 Server 32bit - SQL Server 2005 32bit Standard
3) (New Server) Windows 2008 Server 64bit - (Not sure which version to install)
**The objective is to migrate 2 SQL databases from Old Server1 and 1 SQL database from Old Server 2 to the New Server. What version should I install on the new server??? Do I go with 2008 express or install the 2005 Standard Edition?
Pending your response to which version to install, what are the correct steps to migrate (which I have never done before) the databases from both of these servers to the new server? I think this particular situation is unique in that I am transferring from both SQL Express and Standard from 2 different physical servers to a 2008 server that is 64bit.
