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

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
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.

Hi
I have a problem out here. I have two databases with the same table structure
and I want to merge data from both the tables . Please can anyone let me know.
Iam using Sql Server 7.0.
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 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
I have two sql server databases...one holds nothing but personalisation information. The other holds various other types of data. I would like to merge these two DBs into one (including all stored procedures,etc.), but being a relative noob to SQL Server, I can't seem to figure out exactly how to accomplish this. Neither database holds anything that the other holds; data-wise, stored procedure-wise or any other wise. ;-)
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Working on sql integration with hybris. i was new to this hybris environment previously my job was completly admin part. Now i got a project where i need to fetch data from hybris (Data Hub) and then i need to maintain the same records in sql server with same attributes and sometimes we need to add new attributes and tables even.
How we can import data from the excel sheet to sql server. For this i have gone through 2 approaches whether using merge statement through stored procedure or SSIS package (I don't know whether it works out for the same to merge data in sql server, if it works). Which of the procedure is more efficient. previously my tasks were completely admin tasks and i dnt have much knowledge about developing part.
Hello,I have a Database in a SQL Server 2000 where I have different userstables with equal fields like this:id (int)email (varchar)name (varchar)address (varchar)joinedon (datetime)I want to merge all the tables in one taking rows with the same emailbut taking always the more recent fields based on the 'joinedon' field.So if I have this four different rows:Tbl email name address joinedon--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------T1 Join Bytes! johnathan NULL 01/01/95T2 Join Bytes! NULL barcelona street 01/01/98T3 Join Bytes! john valencia street 01/01/97T4 Join Bytes! john Q NULL 01/01/99And the final row entered in the new table would beTbl email name address joinedon----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------new Join Bytes! john Q barcelona street 01/01/99I am trying doing his with union statements, but i am not getting thereal merging of data. Any clue?Thanks for your help.
View 1 Replies View RelatedGreetings... I'm working at consolidating several Reporting Services installations into one so we can decommission some old servers. We have two Report Servers that are in SQL Server 2000 and three that are in SQL Server 2005 (none are in a web farm configuration). I can upgrade the 2000 databases to 2005 format just fine, but now how do I merge these five ReportServer/ReportServerTempDB databases into one? I'm reluctant to redeploy reports to the "official" Report Server because we lose security, subscription, and scheduling information by doing that. So redeploy would cost us time and data loss over hundreds of reports, thus my hope to merge the databases at a data level. Is there a tool to automate this process, or has anyone tried this before? Thanks in advance.

I have a source table in the staging database stg.fact and it needs to be merged into the warehouse table whs.Fact.
stg.fact is not a delta feed it is basically an intra-day refresh.
Both tables have a last updated date so its easy to see which have changed.
It will be new (insert) or changed (update) data that I am interested in, there are no deletions.
As this could be in the millions of rows that are inserts or updates then this needs to be efficient.
I expect whs.Fact to go to >150 million rows.
When I have done this before I started with T-SQL Merge statement and that was not performant once I got to this size.
My original option was to do this is SSIS with a lookup task that marks the inserts and updates and deal with them seperately. However I set up the lookup tranformation the reference data set will have a package variable in the SQL commnd. This does not seem possible with the lookup in 2012! Currently looking at Merge Join transformation and any clever basic T-SQL that could work as this will need to be fast, and thats where I think that T-SQL may be the better route.
Both tables will have >100,000,000 rows
Both tables have the last updated date
The Tables are in different databases but on the same SQL Instance
Each table holds 5 integer columns, one Varchar, one datatime
Last time I used Merge it was a wider table with lots of columns so don't know if this would be an option.
I'm trying to avoid a large amount of manual data manipulation.
Here's the background: Legacy system that has (well let's call apples apples) pretty much no method of enforcing data integrity, which has caused a fairly decent amount of garbage data to be inserted in some tables. Pulling one of the [Individuals] table from within this Legacy system and inserting it into a production system, into the Table schema currently in place to track [Individuals] in this Production system.
Problem: Inserting the information is easy, how to deduplicate the records that exist within the staging table that the legacy [Individuals] table has been dumped into in production, prior to insertion. (Wanting to do this programmatically with SQL or SSIS preferably, so that I can alter it later to allow for updating existing/inserting new)
Staging Table Schema:
;
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[stage_Individuals](
[SysID] [int] NULL, --Unique, though it's not an index intended to identify the [Individuals]
[JJISID] [nvarchar](10) NULL,
[NameLast] [nvarchar](30) NULL,
[NameFirst] [nvarchar](30) NULL,
[NameMiddle] [nvarchar](30) NULL,
[code]....
Scenario: There are records that duplicate the JJISID, though this value is supposed to be unique for every individual. The SYSID is just a Clustered Index (I'm assuming) within the Legacy system and will be most likely dropped when inserted into the Production [Inviduals] table. There are records that are missing their JJISID, though this isn't supposed to happen either, but have valid information within SSN/DOB/Name/etc that can be merged into the correct record that has a JJISID assigned. There is really no data conformity, some records have NULLS for everything except JJISID, or some records will have all the [Individuals] information excluding the JJISID.
Currently I am running the following SQL just to get a list of the records that have a duplicate JJISID (I have other's that partition by Name/DOB/etc and will adapt whatever I come up with to be used for those as well):
;
select j.*
from (select ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY JJISID ORDER BY JJISID) as RowNum, stage_Individuals.*, COUNT(*) OVER (partition by jjisid) as cnt from stage_Individuals) as j
where cnt > 1 and j.JJISID is not nullNow, with SQL Server 2012 or later I could use LAG and LEAD w/ the RowNum value to do my data manipulation...but that won't work because we are on SQL Server 2008 in this environment.

With, the following as a potential solution:
GSquared (3/16/2010)Here's a query that seems to do what you need. Try it, let me know if it works.
Performance on it will be a problem, but I can't fine tune that. You'll need to look at various method for getting this kind of data from the table and work out which variation will be best for your data. Without access to the actual table, I can't do that.
;
WITH CTE
AS (SELECT master_id,
MIN(ID) AS first_id,
MAX(Account_Expiry) AS latest_expiry
FROM #People
GROUP BY master_id)
SELECT P1.master_id,
[code].....
Unfortunately, I don't think that will accomplish what I'm looking for - I have some records that are duplicated 6 times, and I'm wanting to keep the values within these that aren't NULL.
Basically what I'm looking for, is to update any column with a NULL value to the corresponding Duplicate [Individuals] record value for that column.
**EDIT - Example, Record 1 has a JJISID with NULL NameFirst & NameLast BUT Record 2 has the same JJISID and values for NameFirst & NameLast. I'm wanting to propogate the NameFirst & NameLast from Record2 into Record1
I have two tables like,
create table dbo.#Status(
ID varchar(50),
Status varchar(50),
EffectiveStartDate datetime,
EffectiveEndDate datetime,
Is_Current bit
[code].....
I want result as the attached image.
Create table query for result is: CREATE TABLE dbo.#Result(
ID varchar(50),
Fee varchar(100),
Bill varchar(50),
A_Date date,
B_Date date,
Status VARCHAR(50),
EffectiveStartDate datetime,
EffectiveEndDate datetime
)
how to achieve this in sql server 2012.
I have a database full of different types of leads some for company A some for company B and so on, each doing a different service. However the leads from B can be used for A and leads from A can be used for B, so I want to merge the data.
Example:
Phone Number Name Home Owner Credit Insurance
727-555-1234 Dave Thomas Yes B
727-555-1234 Dave Thomas Gieco
I would like the end result to be one record:
Phone Number Name Home Owner Credit Insurance
727-555-1234 Dave Thomas Yes B Gieco
Since these were imported into SQL they all have a unique ID, here are the current labels
ID,phone_ number,first_ name,last_name,address1, address2, address3,city,state,postal_code,HOME_OWNR,HH_INCOME,CREDIT_RATING,AGE,MATCH,source_id,
title,comments,dnc_flag,provider,vehicle,coverage,alt_phone,email,marital status,dob
I have two tables. Status and Fourhistory tables.Status table contains a status column with effectivestart and end dates as history. This column is having history at month level.
Fourhistory table maintains 4 columns as part of history with the use of effectivestart and end dates. Here history capturing is at day level.
Desired Result: I want to merge the status column into FourHistory table.Below i have given some possible sample scenarios which i face and the third table contains the expected ouput.how to achieve this in T-SQL query.
create table dbo.#Status(
ID varchar(50),
Status varchar(50),
EffectiveStartDate datetime,
EffectiveEndDate datetime,
Is_Current bit

Hi, I want to make fusion replication.
We've got an incident database on our server and we want our
consultants could add, modify, delete incidents on our customers sites
with their laptop.
When they come back we can also synchronise our incidents database
with their modifications.
I defined the database on our server ( sql7 sp3) as distibutor and
publisher, the other computers coulb be only suscribers.
It would be very easy except for a case :
when a line is modified on our server database and the same line in
the same table is modified on the suscriber computer, the changes on
publisher (distiributor) seems to have priority on the suscribers.
But we would like to control this : we want the suscribers, when they
come back, if this case appears, could choose good merging or not if
it's possible, and if it is not, we would like at less they could have
a message saying they will lost that they change (incident by incident
if it's possible)
So what is possible to resolve it by the best way ?
Thanks to your answers
Best regards

Help!!, Does anyone know of a way that I can merge three seperate fields into one field in my sql statement.
EG.
SELECT catnumber, catnumber2,catnumber3
FROM Categories
WHERE Customer = 'xxxx' and itemnumber = 1 or 2 or 4
I want the catnumber, catnumber2, catnumber3 all in one field so I can sort by it.
If anybody could help me it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I need to figure out what is the easiest way to do this is. I have two tables that have the following columns:
Code:
TABLE 1
AcctNbr, GiftRef, Gdate, PayCode, Amt
Table 2
GiftRef, Amt, MotvCode, FundId
I need to merge the two tables with GiftRef being the common table between them. I have exported the tables from MSSQL to Access and am wondering what the easiest way to do this is. Is there an SQL Query that can merge the two tables on export by GiftRef? Is it easier to do this in Access now that I've exported the two Tables? Any help on this would be awesome. Thanks.
Hi Gurus.
My client drops for me many files like this on a shared drive M: daily
1_Test.csv
2_Test.csv
3_Test.csv
I would like you to advice on how to write a SQL code (that can include DTS if possible) that will take this files, merge them into one (since they have same columns) and send them to another client as one file. But it must only take the files of the same date and must not resend files i have send already. I need this to be an automated process since the files are dumped into M:drive midnite and I need this code so that I can schedule it as a job and run around 4h00am.
I have a problem that I need help on.
Right now, I have two MSSQL server and I am trying to merge them into one.
The problem is, I do not know the login Id and password for some of the users.
I know the login information are stored under syslogins at the master db.
How do I get the information out and append to the syslogins table of the second mssql db?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello there. I am Completely new to SQL and this forum, and this problem that I have may appear to be very basic to you guys but still... I was wondering if I could get some help with a database I am trying to make in MS Access.
I have used the Access TransferText function to import data from a text file into a table with an ID attached to each line, eg.
ID Text
1 Hello world
2 This is an example
3 Of my database
I want to merge the data, or copy it into a field in a new table to get:
ID Text
1 Hello World
This is an example
Of my database
2 [more imported text from a different table]
and i have been advised that SQL is the best way to do this. Is it possible to have line breaks in a field within microsoft access, or would it have to be structured as
ID Text
1 Hello World This is an Example Of My Database
2 ...
And how would i make the SQL to do this?
Thanks,
Thom
Say I have a table with the columns (and example data):
CustomerNo, ContactNo, ActivityNo
null, null, 1
100, null, 1
null, 666, 1
null, null, 2
200, null, 2
null, 777, 2
From this I would like to get the result:
CustomerNo, ContactNo, ActivityNo
100, 666, 1
200, 777, 2
How do I solve this. Im getting grey hair here...
I have a function that returns a range of numbers and a query that returns a varchar field and an int field. I would like to replace the int field in the query with unique ranged numbers from the function(one per row).
Any ideas?
