I have an existing SQL 7 database with data and stored procedures. I would like to move it to another NT box that is more powerful...
What's the best method of migrating all the data and sp's from my existing server to a new one?
I'm looking forward to learning about SQL 7.
Thanks a lot!

hi all.....
iam trying to move or export database tables between two sql server 2000 databases..but i always lose the relations between the moved(exported) tables...

plz replay me quick guys...... :(
I am running SQL Server 2000.
I have about 300 tables scattered across 3 databases that I am trying to consolidate into a single database. There are other tables within these 3 databases that I don't wish to consolidate (so I don't want to copy the full database).
What are my options to move these tables to the consolidated database?
Are there options beyond, the pain and extensive run-time of copying from the DTS wizard into the new database (plus the indices won't copy will they?) or writing code that creates tables in the new database, populates them with data from the old tables and then deletes the old tables?
My understanding is sp_rename won't work with two separate databases --i.e., your destination db must be the same as the db of the object you are renaming. (if my understanding is wrong, that would seem to be the easiest way to accomplish this)
Thanks,
hi,
I have a access database. In this database there are 10 tables and this tables are related to each other.
I want to move these tables to another database according to a field in XYZ table (vertical fragmentation).
for example there is name coloumn in the XYZ table and I want to take only joe lines and other tables related to that from database A and move it to database B
how can I do this?
thanks..
I have to move all the tables in a database from one file group to another file group.All my tables have millions of records and the indexes are in correct file group but not the tables. How much time will it take to complete the whole process ?
View 13 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to find a way to insert data from a TableA on ServerA into TableB on ServerB using SSIS in Visual Studio.
The specification I was given is basically
Insert INTO TableB AS (Select * from TableA WHERE NOT EXISTS on TableB).
I can't use a linked server unfortunately.
I wonder if it possible to move data from tables on a linked server to a "normal database"? What am I doing wrong?
Hello all,
Ive been tasked with writing a SQL query to move information from 2 tables(old1 and old2) into 1(new). table new already has all the information from old1, but also has some additional columns that are encompassed from old2. Also some of the columns in table new need to be assigned a 1 or a 0 if the information is present in old2. Here is what I came up with:
UPDATE new
SET new.IsRentalLocation = 1
new.IsMainCampus = 1
new.IsLearningCenter = 1
new.IsStudentResource = 1
new.AlternateStateDisp = 0
new.Directions = tbl_old2.Directions
new.Catering = tbl_old2.Catering
new.Lab = tbl_old2.Lab
FROM new, old1, old2
WHERE new.CampusID = old1.CampusID
AND old1.LearningCenterID = old2.LearningCenterID
Does this look right? or should I be using an insert command?
I installed SQL server 2012 on a server and it has 6 databases.
Now i need to move a 12 GB sized table from DB1 to DB2 on sql server.
Just ran the 6.5 to 7.0 upgrade. It put all tables into a 1 large file. Is there a way to move a single table out of the file and into a second filegroup?

I have a web hosting account with Network Solutions. I also have my databases hosted on their sql server 2005. (along with a few thousand other database which don't belong to me) . Network Solutions does not allow me to speak to their Technical Support. I must submit a request and they email me their response. Bottom line they are not going to help me with my problem.
I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express to connect remotely to the server.
I have 2 databases. Currently all data is stored in database1
I need to move the tables with the data for my website forum from database1to database2 on the same SQL Server
I have already generated a script which creates the schema for the tables on
database2. The problem is moving the data. The web Host does not allow DTS
Here are the things they won't allow:
You can use all features of SQL 2000 (it is 2005) except for the following:
- DTS Packages
- Database Replication
- Mail Services
- XML Support
- Distributed Transactions
- Database Maintenance Plans
- Web Assistant
- Multiple Instances
I can't for the life of me figure out how to transfer the data.
I have tried copying and pasting the data and run into problems with Identity keys and constraints.
I tried a sql generator script to create insert scripts for each line of each table but it won't work. I'm not sure why.
Bottom-line I can't import and export directly. And I desperately need to.
Thanks in advance!
I mange several large databases with multiple files and filegroups. During some maintenance I was trying to remove a filegroup and its files and noticed that I was unable to. It appears that some service broker objects were created on my user defined filegroup.
Looking at the system tables I see several system tables on my user defined filegroup
SELECT o.name +'.' +i.name FROM sysobjects o inner join sysindexes i on i.id = o.id where groupid = 2
queue_messages_1255675521.queue_clustered_index
queue_messages_1255675521.queue_secondary_index
queue_messages_1287675635.queue_clustered_index
queue_messages_1287675635.queue_secondary_index
queue_messages_1319675749.queue_clustered_index
queue_messages_1319675749.queue_secondary_index
my normal tricks do not work as I am unable to even select from these tables.
How to I move them or get rid of them. I am not even sure what is created them as we are not using service broker in our application.
is there a way i can auto generate create table scripts or import the table structures into sql server 2000?

I just notice that my MASTER database has some user tables and user SP ..and I am thinking to move them to 1 new user database but I am worried it will break something ..
What should I do ?
Moreover I wonder why Transaction log of MASTER can be full ( The recovery model is simple ) It should be fine , isn’t it?
Is there any way to import a VistaDB database into SQL Server? From what I can tell, there is not...

I am trying to move data from 8 different tables that are dependent on each other through foreign key relationship.
Basically they have millions of rows in each table and they have data for the past 5 years. I want to move data for the past 120 days and move it to 8 new tables in the same database. So I created the new tables along with their relationships. Now I need to move in the order (parent table first).
The child table has 50million rows data to move
The intermediate tables have 10 mil 10mil 10mil and 40 mil 50mil and 20 mil rows to move
The parent table has 10 mil rows to move
if I choose to move this data through an SSIS package what is the best way? Or is there a better way to move this data faster?
I will be doing this move only once. After that I have maintenance purge jobs that will cleanup data on a daily basis.
guys,I have a project need to move more than 100,000 records from onedatabase table to another database table every week. Currently, usersinput date range from web UI, my store procedure will take those dateranges to INSERT records to a table in another database, then deletethe records, but it will take really long time to finish this action(up to 1 or 2 hours).My question is if there is some other way I should do to speed up theaction, I am thinking about use bcp to copy those records to datafileand then use bcp to insert it into SQL Server table. Is this the rightway to do it or should I consider other solution (then, what is thesolution.)Thanks a lot!
View 8 Replies View RelatedI’m working with an msde database on my local machine, but need to take that database and move it to my remote host. This is problematic because I can not just do a back up and restore.
I was wondering if there were any asp.net applications that would generate lots of sql statements to reproduce the database on my remote host.
I had built a program to back up all the tables in that way, but, forgot that the membership stuff uses stored procedures, and I don't not know how to modify my program in order to back those up too.
Any help will be much appreciated, thank you very much for reading my post
Hello,
What is the easiest way to move a database from one server to another with the all table structures, view and stored procedures?
Thanks,
Using sp_detach and sp_attach we can move different databases to different locations.
how do we do the same for system databases such as master,model,msdb and tempdb.
As off i know we got to be in master database to runthis command, if not this how do we go about this.
Thanks,

If you want to move all the databases to new server. Stop the SQL server service on existing server. Copy mdf and ldf files of all databases to same location iin new server. Also take the backup of master and msdb database from existing server. Then restore master and msdb on new server.

P.S. Should I use the DTS at all to perform this task?
Hi:
I need your suggestion or experience about how to move a database from SQL 6.5 to SQL 7.0. The server where SQL 6.5 resides locates in different network than SQL 7.0. DTS does not work for the database move because of two server can not talk directly.
We need to do this task very soon in production environment. I tried to backup database to a disk (backup device in SQL 6.5) but I failed to restore it in SQL 7.0 because the backup file was not detected by restore utility in SQL 7.0.
Please tell me what I should do. Besides BCP, are there any other methods to move the database from SQL 6.5 to SQL 7.0 in diffferent networks.
Thank you very much.

i've got to move 37 SQL Server databases over to new server. My manager tells me that i have to conduct some "check totals" to make sure that the databases contained exactly the same data from what it was when it got moved.
Is there some stored_procedure to do this ? to make sure that all the stored procedures, views, tables got move across ?
Hi,
I'm new to SQL Server. How do I port the modifications of my table structures, store procedures, functions on the staging server to the procduction server without affect the data?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a web project in VS.NET 2005 on my development computer that uses an ASP.NET database (ASPNETDB.MDF) to manage user roles. Now I would like to move that database to a test computer with IIS. After copying the web project and database I am able to read from it but when I try to update I get the following error:
Failed to update database "C:INETPUBWWWROOTMyWebAppAPP_DATAASPNETDB.MDF" because the database is read-only.
I think this is because the user 'Network Service' that IIS uses does not have access to the database. So how do I give 'Network Service' access to the database using SQL commands?
I'm trying to move a database created on SQL Server 2005 Express Edition to the SQL 2000 Server (that's the version the company uses). I understand that this is done by making a script that, when executed, creates an exact copy of the database structure on the target server as well as copying the stored procedures.
After that I somehow need to export the data from SQL Server 2005 Express to SQL Server 2000. How can I do that. There's no export function in Management Studio Express.
I am using VWD 2005 Express, with SQL 2005 Express. My web hosting company supports ASP 2.0 and SQL Server 2005, but have put SQL on a database server, which is separate from the application server. I successfully published a "Hello world" test application, but my database application failed after displaying the logon page, presumably when it first tried to connect to the database.
VWD has created my database within the application folder (appApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF) and created the configuration string in web.config: -
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
This all works fine on my local development server, but naturally fails when the application is copied to the web host, and the database can no longer be run from an application sub-folder. With SQL 2000 the problem would have been simple to fix. I would have created a database in the host DB server. I would then have backed up the development database, and restored it into the target database. I would then have changed the connect string, and all would have been OK.
How do I get the development database into the target database with SQL 2005 express? I can't use backup/restore, since there is no backup within VWD 2005 Express, and although there is a backup within Management Studio Express (MSE) I would need to get the database into MSE first. I tried opening the MDF file, but MSE wouldn't recognise this. I can't find any way of exporting the database - the equivalent of SQL 2000's DTS is not available within MSE!!!!!!!!! I tried installing an eval. version of the full Management Studio, but the install failed because "there is no upgrade path".
Once all that's sorted (if it can be sorted - I may have to go back to SQL 2000), where can I find out what to write in the configuration string?
Thank you, Robert Barnes
I need to move two databases from my old PC to my new one. Both machines are running Sql Server 2005 Express. I have tried a backup on old, copy the files to the new but I can't get restore to work. I type in the name of the new database to be created when the restore is complete and then select "From Device" and point to the backup file. I have tried both backup of entire database and backup of files. The error says: "Operating system error. System cannot find the path specified" Well, it found the path and backup file in the previous step when I pointed it to the backup media.
I have also tried the "Copy database wizard". However, Express does not come with "Agent" and the two machines can't see each other without Agent even though I have configured Express to allow remote access.
Any other ideas?
HiAs i have read, there have been discussions before how to move a local MDF databas to MSsql server at a webhost.But i cant figure it out, i know the answere is out there but i cant find it.I have downloaded the Host Deployment tool that generates a .sql file from my database, it looks ok.The problem is that my host dont allow me to execute this. I have also tried to run a file called RunSql.aspx that should help me execute my .sql file.But i recieve errors
Opening url http://mydomainz1.com/mydbfile.mdf.sqlAn error occured: System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at ASP.runsql_aspx.__Render__control1(HtmlTextWriter __w, Control parameterContainer) in d:hsadminaccoundidmydomainz1.comRunSQL.aspx:line 58The line 58 is empty
Is there anyway that a mdf file that i have build in VWD 2005 can work as a standalone database?I would like it to be as a .mdb database that is simple to move and so on.
Or do the mdf database have to have a MSsql Express or a MSsql Server?
Grateful for help!
