We are designing a new data model, and have many clients. Currently they each have their own database in SQL.
We are contemplating the pro's and con's of migrating to a Single Master Database.
I would like to hear from others on what your thoughts are on the pros and cons. Also, if you have experience doing something similar, please speak up.
Thanks in advance,

I have setup SQL Server 2012 - MDS and can run the web client from IE11. I've created the model and entities from System Administration ok, however when I try and use Explorer to work with the master data I've setup, there's an error "The remote server returned an error: NotFound".I ran Profiler while clicking Explorer, and it's connecting with the XML statements and running without any errors - so it's seems it's not any issue with connecting to the MDS database.

View 4 Replies View RelatedDear Readers,Is it possible, like in Access, to link to tables in other SQL databases that are on the same server? I have a query that I originally had in Access that queered from multiply databases. It did this by having those other tables in the other databases linked to the database that had the query.
How do you hide the default system databases so that they cannot be viewed? Also when it it time for me to access them how do I unhide the databases?

Hi Guys,
Since,You cannot mirror the master, msdb, tempdb, or model databases.What will happen if i create new login,change existing security profile and new jobs,change of existing job on princicpal db. how these will be mirrored to other server and in case failover, how it will treat.

Hi all,
Now, I using Windows200o & SQL7.0.
I want to permission a client connect to my server,

but he can list of them in server - using EM (and I don't want he knows this).
How can I solve this problem? Thanks.

Hi,
I'm trying to create a database that takes specific information from a number of databases on different servers to make some reporting that we have much easier.
I'm pretty new to SQL so I'm not sure of the best way to proceed. I read an article that suggested I use the OPENROWSET command. The problem is, the version of SQL that came with one of the programmes we use is limited and will not allow you to turn on the allow "Ad Hoc distributed Queries" so the SLQ statement will not execute.
I'm confused why it won't let me to connect through ODBC as I've created a web page that selects data from this database with no problems!
Here is the SQL statement that I've written to make sure it is the correct one (on the msdn library page it said that this was the ODBC connection):
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL','DRIVER=(SQL Server);SERVER=APPOLOACT7;UID=sa;PWD=***************',
'SELECT * FROM MDCTestAndDev.dbo.TBL_CONTACT') AS a
I've also created the ODBC connection using the tool on Administration Tools>Data Sources ODBC
Any help would be greatly appreciated (also any ways of selecting from one database and inserting it into another will be helpfull)
Thanks
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 am trying to restore multiple .bak backup SQL database files onto a new server. However, I have found that it will not allow me to restore multiple databases at once. Is there a way to do this so that I do not have to manually upload one at a time? I tried adding all the .bak files at once to the backup device window but it only did the first one listed. It would be so much easier to restore them all at once so that I do not have to continue this manual process. I am restoring them via device.

I am in the progress of designing a new section of my database and was thinking of creating a hole new database instead of just creating tables inside the database. My question is can you JOIN multiple tables in an SQL Statement from multiple databases. Ie, In the Management program I have a database called 'Convention' and another one called 'Services', inside the two databases there are many tables. Can I link say tblRegister from Convention to tblUser in Services?
Thanks
I have multiple drop down lists that I would like to have send parameters to a stored procedure that does a select on the data. (Kind of like a search feature) But if a ddl isnt populated, I want that to act like a * and get all. For instance, I have a persontype, state, and country drop down lists. If I drop the state one down to WA, I want the gridview to populate with all the people in WA regardless or their type. If I populate type and state, have it give me both regardless of country.
What does the stored procedure or select syntax look like for this? (What would the default values of my dropdown boxes?)
my current sql select statement (The bottom 3 are bit fields which are throwing me off a bit too). do i need to have some IsNull statments around each variable in the select?SELECT

Almost new to ssrs, accessing Oracle's stored procedures to feed the reports (no other choice), working on a master/detail report and badly stuck. This report needs to access 3 stored procedures one for master and two for small tables under it. The master's order ID is fed to the two stored procedures that may or may not pull any thing for certain order ID's
I am approaching it by creating 2 datasets and a page-long list, added desired text boxes and a table in the list, grouped the list on order ID and passing it to tables using default values etc. but keep getting the following message.
"The Group expression for the table table1 refers to the field ProductName. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope".
The list seems to be associated to one dataset only and any item in it cannot refer to anyother dataset, even if I try to access the table's dataset in its properties (The 'current data set scope' implies that).
(Not sure what will happen when I will try to add the second table and dataset with the same parameter name).
How should I approach this issue. I will appreciate help, if explained in steps but won't mind a good tip.
Thanks.
Does anyone have a sample of what a database would look like that would support multiple clients in a single ASP.net application?
Thank you,
I have a MASTER package containing multiple packages using execute package task in SSIS.When am running this MASTER Package in Sql server agent in SSMS, am getting error as below.
steps how to run this and let me know what information am missing to run the Master package.

This error occurs when there is cryptographic error. Verify that the correct key is available.
One of the big problems with the old MDAC was different versions on different client machines. You would test your app with the latest version say, but when you deployed it, it might fail as the client has a different version.
My company develops software for Municipal Government clients. These clients use other SQL Server applications as well as ours, but they can only use one version of the client software (MDAC) on a given desktop. That means if we require a particular MDAC version, but the clients other applications from other vendors don't officially support that MDAC version, the client is in a real jam.
Our software also supports Oracle, which allows our software to specify a particular Oracle Home which points to a directory with a particular version of the Oracle client dlls (along with corresponding registry entries for that Oracle Home), such that we control the exact client version of the Oracle software that the client uses with our applications. This will not interfere with, and is completely seperate, from the default Oracle home installed when you install the Oracle client software.
What I would like to see for the Native Client is the ability to have our applications use the version of the Native Client that we wish to support and deploy without interfering with the Native Client version used by other applications. Have a default Native Client, but allow applications to somehow specify a different Native Client version/set of DLLs.
Is there any such functionality with the Native Client? (I didn't see any mention of such in the documentation, but I thought I'd ask)
If not, are there any future plans to support multiple Native Client versions on the same desktop?
I have a procedure where after processing, i am required to send multiple message to calling application.
For ex:
create procedure test as
(@a as int,
@b as int
@c as int )
/*
some transformations */
print 'variable a is' + @a;
print 'variable b is' + @b;
print 'variable c is' + @c;
I am only providing a sample of return messages, but in reality there a lot more messages where a string and a parameter value need to concatenated.Unfortunately print is not allowing to concatenate parameter value.I can use RaiseError, but these messages are not really any error messages.
i tried to concatenate all message and output it using OUT type parameter, but the length of all messages combined exceeds 10000 characters.
Is there any other alternate to send these messages out to application?

Hey there!
I'm not sure how to explain this but here goes...
I'm a bit stuck, a new project that's come about "requires" me to query multiple databases as if they were tables.
1 Oracle database which stores information on our staff (this database is a part of some MIS software and can't be changed in any way)
1 SQL Server 2005 database which stores information on staff sickness
Basically say theres 1 table in each database
Oracle DB
People
Person_Code
Forename
Surname
SQL DB
Sickness
Person_Code
Daydate
Lets say the query I want to perform is to select all the records from sickness where person code is 22334 and also get their name from the other db, so the output may look like
22334 Dann Rees 01/01/2007
22334 Dann Rees 03/01/2007
22334 Dann Rees 10/02/2007
Now I realise I can write a quick function to pull the information but this is just a basic example. Effectivley what I "need" is to be able to query sickness while sub querying people to get the names, or some kind of pass through query?
Please remember this is just a very simple example and the "actual" queries will be far more complicated, for instance finding all the employees of a certain department who is male and was sick in January. All the data for that example is stored in people (oracle) except for the dates which is stores in sick (SQL 2005). Now these are easy enough if they were tables in 1 database....but their not, their tables in 2 databases, and theres nothing I can do to change that :(
All help appreciated as this is becoming very urgent.
Many thanks
Dann

Hi all:I am trying to create a website which will search and return results that are from multiple tables in different databases. I have the code to search a singular database right now, and I tried to make a connection to a second one, which worked, but I don't know how to send the proper sql commands to the second database or how to link them in the code. Does anyone have any pointers on creating a site which will search different tables in different databases with a known connection between databases? Any help would be really really really really appreciated.-Shrey

Okay this is a test...actually I am still learning SQL and need some help. Does anyone have any information on being able to move indexes from one database to another.

Hi,
Currently developping a c# database based application, which will be used in different establishments worldwide. I'm currently a bit confused by the ms sql features offered. Because the huge data amount which will be fetched during application use from the database, the best option is probably to put a ms sql server in each establishment to realise quick data fething. Problem is that the servers, which are all running on the same database design have to be synchronised real-time. I read about datareplication with the merge option which I thought was a nice solution. The subscribers can only have read-only rights on these subscriber databases, because the merging doesn't work appropriate i heard, so this is no good solution. Then I read about distributing transaction coordination. Seems a good solution as well, but what happens if a server system crashes for one day and then comes back online? It won't be up to date anymore... Right now I think about a combination of these 2 features. DTC in combination with merge replication, but there must be a better solution. Fact is that a lot of users will be editing data worldwide non stop, and everyone has to be up to date. Because of huge data fetching I don't think it's a good solution to let everyone work worldwide with one single database. Is there a possibility to realise this with ms sql server? Because I'm getting more and more confused... Thx in advance.
I need some guidance! We are running SQL Server 2000. We have 4 or 5 databases with the same schema, and I need to make sure that their structures all stay synched. We will have more soon. I also need certain tables to have the same data across all the databases.
I need a way to manage changes on the multiple databases! Right now I generate a script in Enterprise Manager, then run it in Query Analyzer on each database, manually. There's too much room for error here.
Any suggestions are appreciated! I am currently evaluating Embarcadero's products, but they are complicated and confusing - I'm not sure yet which of their tools is meant for this purpose.
Thanks,

Ok, so right now we have a bunch of queries similar to the following:
Code:
use db001 select co#=(001), fieldvalue from tablename where fieldid = '1'
use db002 select co#=(002), fieldvalue from tablename where fieldid = '1'
what i need to find is if there are duplicates of fieldvalue and have it display all in one.
Basically right now we run all these there are 25 databases and we export everything to a file and then open it in excel. we then format it it so its just co# and fieldvalue and then look for duplicates.
i would like to avoid the whole excel part and just run a query that will display any duplicates of fieldvalue across all 25 databases in "tablename"
hope that makes sense. - Thanks
