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.
In order to export data to a 3rd party provider, I build five separate tables to store the data. Every table has a different layout, except for the first four columns. They are record type, SSN, employee id and another id number.
Basically, I have to sort that data by SSN then by record type. Each employee will have multiple records.
However, that data will need to be "merged" into one table to be exported.
I have created a table that defines the first four columns, but then has one large "filler" field that will contain the rest of the data. How can I copy data from five different tables with five different layouts into one table?
How to move some tables with data & procedures etc from 1 database to another in sql server 2005 express edition. i did by scripting but i transfer tables and procedures and not data data is the problem. tnx
Hi, I have an excel sheet in which there is some data in sheet1,sheet2.I need to transfer this 2 sheets data to single table using a single package.How can i do this in SSIS.
I am running on mssql 6.5, sp4. We have been trying to use EM transfer manager to move one test database on one server to another database on another server. We are dealing with 135 tables on this database. The transfer works up until about the 80th atble and then just dies but the scheduled task says it failed and check error log. The transfer creates the tables on the destination database but only loads the data until this one table.
WE use all of the options in EM Transfer manager which are st as defaults.
THere is no one on the source or destination databases locking this table.
Other smaller databases were successfully transferred from one database on one server to the other database on the other server without any problems today and yesterday.

I am trying to write a stored procedure that copies one row from one table and moves it to another table. The two tables do not have exactly the same number of columns and not all of the columns that are the same in each table have the same name. I am using MS SQL Server 2000 and I cannot figure out a way to do this.
My big question is how do you execute a query in a stored procedure and then use the results to execute an update in the same procedure. I want the entire function to occur without the client application having to do any of the work.
I need to know if it is possible to move ONE table from an existing filegroup to another existing filegroup. The answer I received to use ALTER database only modifies the file/filegroup name or changes the default filegroup. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
We currently have all tables in the dbo schema, but for organizational reason we would like to split them up in multiple schemas and I wonder if that can be done without re-creating the tables.
So my question is, is there a way to move a table into a different schema without re-creating it? (For those familiar with Postgres I'm looking for an equivalent to "ALTER TABLE foo SET SCHEMA newschema") sp_rename only allows a "one-part name" for the new name, so apparently that cannot be used.
I have a timestamp in one table that is of datetime type and I need to move it to a table with a Varchar(30) type. What is happening is a date that should be set up like this "11/12/2004" is actually coming across as "Nov 12 2004". I tried using a cast(fieldname) as Varchar(30) on the datetime type, but it didn't help. does anyone have any ideas on how to retain the original date form in moving it to a varchar type? thanks in advance...
I have a table with 200 million rows which needs to be moved to a different instance. What is the best way to move the table while at the same time getting rid of any unused space in the table? I think BCP is the fastest way to do this, but I am conrned that the results would be different than exporting the t-sql equivalent and running that.
Any comments? BOL does not appear to address this issue very clearly. . .
I am currently writing a web service that gets data from a MSSQL2000 DB and I need to get the data to create some drop down lists, but these lists are composed of many concatenated elements. To sort these alphabetically is proving to be a royal pain in the butt as they just come out as they are ordered in the DB.
It would be a whole lot easier if i could just reorder the rows in one relevant table. Does anyone know how to do this or if it is possible to move rows up or down?
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) ...

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.

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.
