Hi all,
I have 5 databases, each about 20GB in size. I need to copy the data to
a new server for reporting purposes. Initially I wanted to setup
transactional replication; however, the database schemas often change
(adding or modifying tables) and in order to accomodate those changes
through replication I would need to send a new snapshot each time a
change occurs. This is very time consuming.
So I decided instead to use log shipping, until I realized the
reporting databases would be unavailable during the period when the
transaction log was being applied. That also will not work.
So what does everyone else use? My only requirements are that the
reporting databases be available during business hours and there be
very little administration when it comes to changing the database
schema.
I have some questions about moving the reporting services. I need to move the reporting services from one server to another server in production. some body already installed the reporting services in production server, I moved the reporting services to the production server from the other server using the backup file. after that I tried to initialize using the reporting services configuration tool but every thing in the left side are turned to green except the initialize thing. it is just grey and i am not able to connect to reporting services, when I tried to initialize it is saying the user doesn't have the permission to connect to the reporting services. I posted before I had lot of suggestions but it does'nt work. Thank you very much for your support. Any body have any idea about this issue.
I have a requirement for a side by side upgrade of an instance from SQL 2008 to SQL 2014. There are reporting services configured. How to I properly migrate and configure the reporting piece on new SQL 2014 instance?
I am trying to move my reporting databases on Server1 to another server (Server2). The databases are named ReportServer$Server1 and ReportServer$Server1TempDB, and I would like them to be named ReportServer$Server2 and ReportServer$Server2TempDB on Server2. I have followed all the steps in the KB articles on moving databases, and I have restored the key from Server1 onto Server2. I can use the Report Manager to change the Data Source connection string on Server2. However, when I try to access a report, or delete an unwanted object, it always errors out, and there is a reference to ReportServer$Server1TempDB in the error message.
Where is this dependency on the old name coming from? Is there no way to rename the report server databases?
We will making a change to our Reporting Services deployment next month. We will be moving from our SQL 2000 server to a new SQL 2005 server. In addition, we will moving from a Local Catalog Deployment to a Remote Catalog Deployment. My question is this: Is there a way I can prevent my team from having to manually redeploy our reports in the new system? They have not been diligent about saving the Visual Studio solution or project files, so they will have to pull the most up-to-date RDL's off the server and deploy them on the new server one by one.
I suppose I can install SQL 2000 on the new server first, then move the Reporting Services databases to the new server, then upgrade the server to 2005, but installing 2000 and upgrading to 2005 does not sound like a best practice. I would prefer a clean install of 2005. Does anyone know if I can move the deployed reports from one server to another?
Using the "move" command it's possible to relocate e.g. datasources without negatively impacting reports that use them. We've got some folders where users have uploaded images for reuse in several reports as external images (2008 R2).
Now I'm trying to consolidate these folders. Yet it seems, moving images will not update the reports that use them as it happens with datasource. Instead, the link to the image breaks.
Is there a way to move the images and telling the reports that reference them that I did so?
I am new to the sql server, we need to move the database from one server to another from developer's edition to standard edition of sql server 2005. it has the reproting services and lot of reporting service jobs are running on the server now. we need to move all those jobs also to the new server. could some body help me on how to move the database and reporting services jobs to the another server. Thanks!
I have 2 databases on one server that I want to consolidate into one database. I'm just learning SQL Server 2005. What is the easiest way to move my 3 tables from one database to a new one on the same server? Do I have use SSIS to do it, or can a simple query be written? I'm new so please be a little detailed in your answer. Thanks in advance for any comments.
I have a scenario where I need to refresh a database that is in 7.0 (converted from 6.5 database) from the original database. Is there an easy way to do this. I have tried creating a DTS package but the data never seems to make it accross.
I'm having problems using the update wizard to move data from 6.5 sql server (on another machine) to a 7.0 server sitting out a PDC. The wizard dies (and passes me over to Dr Watson) when login fails for the 6.5 machine.
I am sure I have the right pasword (I've tried variations as well) and have updated the hosts file so that the machine is known by it's name (I think one of the FAQ answers suggested that)....
What other possibilities are there for moving the data ? I looked at bcp, but that seems a rather long winded route (the data contains time stamps so I suppose there will be a problem reading them in on the 7.0 side) ...
what would be the best way to move 59 million rows from one table to another. The table has no constraint, but has has three indexes. The table has only four columns. It will be going from SQL 2000 to SQL 2000.
Hi all, I have an Ms Access table and a MsSql table. I am running a windows service in my localhost where the data from Ms access table will be copied to Ms sql table for every one minute. Before copying the data, the Ms sql table will be flushed inorder to avoid replicates. Now i want to copy only the latest records updated within 1 min in Ms access table, to Ms sql table. My Ms access table Name Id jas 100 meena 101 viji 102
My Ms sql table Name Id jas 100 meena 101 viji 102
After 1 min, say 2 records are added to my Ms access table like, Name Id jas 100 meena 101 viji 102 bhuvana 103 pinky 104 Now i want to insert only the latest records from Ms access to Ms sql like, Name Id jas 100 meena 101 viji 102 bhuvana 103 pinky 104 how to do this? thanx in advance. Jasmeeta.
I am wondering the best way to go about a task I have been assigned. We have two similar websites but each is located on a different network. One network is secure so it cannot be accessed on the normal WWW. The secure network will contain the master database. I need to write a program or do something with SQL server to retrieve all records from the WWW site and get them onto the secure database. I also in the future will need to update records from the WWW site if they have been updated. What is the easiest way to move data from one network to the other when I cannot connect to both databases simultaneously? Thanks, Matt
I have a web app that has been regulated to a disconnected PC. It's runing IIS and 2.0 with sql server express, but no connectivity. I have changes that are made to some of the data in the db (data, bot schema). There is one particular table that I cannot overwrite, and must extract the data. What methods are available to do this swap of data between databases? I was thinking of doing something like this: Track last date that remote db was updated. Upload updated database into data directory, loop through records for all affected tables, any date that was past logged date then update the record if it exists or insert new record, and then loop through the remote db and delete this records that dont exist in the updated db. This seems intensive and slow - especially as the tables get bigger but I can't think of another solution that can be done by a user using sometime of web interface.
Our current sql server 7 is overloaded and I have been asked to move some data to a new box which is to be acquired. My query is as follows:
1what should be the ideal spec of a sql server to allow for windows 2000 in future. And how do I go about moving data from one to the other. I am new to sql and this is my first assignment.
I am trying to move a data and log backup file from my C drive to another drive to free my C drive. Does anybody know the easiest way to do it? Thanks.
This is (probably) a simple question, but I'm new to SQL Server scripting.
What I want be able to do is move data from one table in a database to another table in the same database, once one of the fields (a date field) reaches a certain value.
Specifically, we are inserting rows into a table that are stamped with an insert date and an expiry date. When the expiry date is reached, we want to move the applicable row from the original table to an identically structured table.
Ideally, we want this to be a script that is run daily.
Does anyone have any ideas or examples that we could use.
I imported a little over 9 million records into my database without "cleaning" the data.
I'm looking for suggestions on what would be the most efficient way to get all the fields to the correct types and to insert decimals on the fields that need them.
My only idea thus far is to make another table with the correct field types and append the data to the new table.
I have a server that will be going off-line in a couple of weeks, and in the meantime, I need to backup everything and move it to a new location. This involves a lot of data and databases.
What I have is 33 databases in MS SQL Server 2005. The target machine is MS SQL Server 2008. Each of these databases has a myriad of stored procedures and compiled functions that will need to be moved as well. Essentially the task is to completely replicate the entire MS SQL environment.
Is there a shortcut to making this happen or am I relegated to backing up each database individually and then restoring them individually?
I've been given the task of moving data from an old system to a new one. That's easy enough apart from some of the data fields do not match in the least:
Example: In the old system (tableOld) there is a field that contains text data such as 'Laboratory','Field','Market','Demo','Development', but this one field could contain one or more of these. In the new system (tableNew) there are boolean fields for each of the above.
What I need is a way to check for these and then make sure the correct field(s) gets ticked (1 entered into the field) in the new system.
Any suggestions, just trying to get my head around SSIS.
I have a requirement that I need to reload the last seven days worth of data each night to ensure that we pick up late arriving and updated records. To avoid having to do updates we delete the last seven days data and reload.
I was wondering if it is possible to set up the table as a partition, paritioned on a value (OLD, NEW) or similar.
The job would set the last day in the NEW partition to be old, the theory being that this would cause the rows to move to the OLD parition, and then truncate the new partion rather than deleting. The last seven days data could then be inserted into the empty new partition.
My questions is 1. Is my theory about the data moving from one partition to another correct. 2. Can I actually truncate and individual parition, 3. Do you think it will perform any quicker. We would expect data in the range of 100K to 500K rows in the seven days and will store up to 4 years of historical data.
Access 2k -> SQL Server 2kMy client has an app that is A2k FE with A2k BE. They have asked meto move the BE to SQL Server.I have a bit of experience with SQL Server, and I'm happy withscripting the database etc.However, when it comes time to move the data itself, I have a teensylittle concern.Let's take our typical Customers -> Orders relation, where CustomerIDis the Foreign Key in the Orders table.Let's say I have 4 customers, but I used to have 6. The CustomerID isan AutoNum column, and they are 1, 2, 4, 6. However, when I insertthese records into the matching SQL Server table with an Identitycolumn, they will (presumably) be 1, 2, 3, 4.So what can I do about the matching orders? Is there any alternativeto this, which seeems very long winded.1. Insert the records as above, but copy the OLD Access AutoNumcolumn (called OldCustomerID) into a temporary column in the new SQLServer table for both the Customers and Orders tables.2. Insert the Orders records into the new SQL Server table.3. Run an update query thus:UPDATE OSET CustomerID = C.CustomerIDFROM Orders OINNER JOIN Customers C ON O.OldCustomerID = C.OldCustomerIDCan I do this any easier? For example, is there any way in SQL Serverto maintain the values of the AutoNum field in the Insert but havethem still be Identity fields? I know that I can import the AutoNumdata into a simple int column, and once the import is complete, turnON the identity, but is this reliable? Might I lose any dataintegrity?TIAEdward--The reading group's reading group:http://www.bookgroup.org.uk
I have two servers, one is 2005 standard, the other is 2005 express. I'm using express to record test results and it will be keep recording non-stop. So, what I want to do is I want to transfer data from express to standard using SSIS package, and as soon as data gets transferred the data to no longer exists in express.
I have a job running the "copy" package every minute, but I don't know how to delete the data in express. Does anyone know how to help me out pleaseeeee..?
Hi All, I am completely new to VS2005 and .net2.0 but I am learning fast! But one thing that I am struggling with is the deployment of my website, or to be more precise the deployment of the data that was created during development on my local machine. I have used VS2005 to create a simple personal site. I have created a single user (myself) in an admin and friends role. So far so good. The site works great on my local machine, all the default photos provided with the site display correctly etc and I can log in OK. My remote server (ie my web hosts) provide me with a separate SQL server on which to install my databases. I have created a database on this server and configured it so that it contains all the correct tables and schemas etc. I have modified my web config file to connect to this database and when I browse to my default.aspx page it displays in my browser fine...EXCEPT that none of the data ( ie the photos and user data) is in the database so therefore no pictures display and I can't log in!! What I can't figure out is how do I get all the data from my local app_data folder into my new remote database!!?? I can't find anything that explains how to do this. Surely this is one of the most important operations of all since data is what .net2.0 is all about! Thanks in anticipation
I need to write stored procedure in SQL Server 2000 that moves data from table in SQL Server 2000 to same table in Access. .mdb file is located on the same computer and I know its location (path).
period course1 course2 4 NULL Eng 4 NULL Math 4 Phys NULL 4 Chem NULL
Is there any way I can show this data this way (the order is irrelevant - row1 can be joined with row3 or row4)? period course1 course2 4 Phys Eng 4 Chem Math 4 Phys Eng 4 Chem Math
Basically, I want to be able to remove nulls.
Please let me know if any of you have come across such an issue.
I posted this originally in the incorrect forum I believe so I am reposting this in here which I believe is the proper place.
I need to move essentially a flat file from one server to another one and export it into a database on the second server. Does anyone have an easy process to accomplish this? I am currently at a loss. Any advice would be much appreciated.
