New SQL 2005 - Where Has Query Builder And Copy Objects Gone?
Jul 30, 2007
Hello,
I am sure there will be a simple answer to this but it has got me stumped.
Having to move over to Vista with my new machine so I am having to switch to 2005 version for my development but still upload to a 2000 server.
I have had a look at 2005, like the new Management Studio, however I ahve a couple of problems which I can not find the answer to.
Firstly, the SQL Query Builder, where has it gone? I often have to import/export data from Excel files and used to use the SQL query builder to create my queries. If I want to copy all columns it is fine but if I want to import select columns I find it easier to view a list and then just add the ones I want.
Am I missing something here?
Secondly, copying stored procedures, before when running DTS ther were three options, Copy Tables/Views, Data Using Query and Copy Objects.
I used the copy opbjects a lot as it was a very quick way of transfering a group of tables and stored prcoedures that I had created. This appears to have now been replaced with Copy Database, which copies everthing, can can not be used to copy from SQL2005 to SQL2000.
If I want to copy multiple stored procedures from SQL2005 to SQL2000 how is it done now? I have tried finding out but have not been sucessful.
The problem is this: In SQL 2000 DTS there was an option for "Copy Objects and Data Between SQL Servers". However, this option has been removed in SQL 2005 SSIS. Apparently the only way to do this in SQL 2005 is to create a .DTSX package in SQL Server Business Intelligence Developement Studio or VS 2005. You do this by creating a new Integration Service Project and using the Transfer SQL Objects Task. Within the properties of this task you can select any of the options that were available in the SQL 2000 DTS export wizard. I have set up a test package that will copy a stored procedure from one db to another but I am unable to get it to work. It runs fine but the result is that the SP is not copied.
I am new to Visual Studio and I think I probably just need help in know ing how to run a package in SQL Server Management Studio. I was able to import the package into SSIS in the Management Studio and run it without errors not with the expected result (the copy of an SP from one db to another). I'm sure there are people besides me who would like to have the ability to easily perform ad hoc copies of objects between SQL servers. If anyone has any experience with using a SSIS package to do this please help. Thanks!
I just upgraded to SQLServer 2005 Standard. I do development in adatabase on one server. When a solution is completely tested, I moveit to the operational database on a different server. With SQLServer2000, I could just open the .adp file and do File->Get ExternalData->Import to move the objects. That does not work with 2005.What is the recommended method for moving objects from one database toanother? Obviously, the objects that changed will not be the sameevery time.Thanks!Jer
how can i copy a data base created in sql server2000 to another server (sqlserver2000)without replication because they're distant and not connected i have tried the DTS but it does'nt copy stored proc ,views,triggers,diagram,... help please
I’m trying to create a DTS Package to copy my sql Server objects to a test Server. The server I’m copying from is UMTS1 and the server I’m copying to is UMTSDEV. The database name is ProgramSpecs and exists on bother servers. My login is assigned to all server roles on both servers. I have created databases on both servers manually so I’m pretty sure I have all the necessary permissions. I’m using the DTS task ‘Copy Sql Server Objects’ to copy sql server objects and have selected “Drop Destination objects first”.
When I try to execute the package I get the following error: Error source: MS SQL DMO Error Description: Invalid OLEVERB Structure [SQL DMO] create file error or UMTS1.ProgramSpecs.LOG
My goal is need to synch couple of tables in QA and Prod. I used "Copy SQL Server Objects Task" in DTS package with copy option "replace existing data". It is trying to truncate and insert new data. But BOL is says "Overwrite existing data in the destination objects with the new data from the specified source". Let me know your thought about this.
I have an application that I wrote that is running in the local office and a remote office. The two offices are connected via a hardware VPN. The connection in the remote office is wireless and can give speeds down to 40kbps.
Each office is running MSDE 2000 and runs off of a separate database with a different name. I would like to have the database from the remote office available in the local office. It doesn't have to be completely current. A 24-hour delay would be fine. Since Transaction replication is not available in MSDE, I can use either Merge or Snapshot. Since the local office wants to allow folks to access the remote office's database without allowing them to affect the remote database (query purposes only), it seems that Snapshot is the way to go.
The database in the remote office is as follows: Data File - 50MB; Log File - 5MB. I don't expect this to grow very fast.
The question I have relates to performance over this slow link. Would I be better off using Snapshot replication or just creating a DTS package and having that run on a nightly basis to copy the database?
Also, with a DTS Package, if the job fails due to the link resetting (remember it is wireless), I would have to configure retries, etc. Would Snapshot replication automatically recognize this failure and try to run again?
I have recently moved from a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 to a SQL Server 2005.
In the good old Enterprise Manager, when I imported a table from a SQL server to another, I could choose "Copy objects and data between SQL Server databases". When choosen, all primary keys, and default values was copied.
My question is: Is it possible to do the same in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio with SQL Server 2005? And how do I do it?
I have tried using the "SELECT * INTO NewTable FROM OldTable" statement, but it just drops all information about primary keys and default values.
I want to migrate from one machine to another is it wise to use SSIS "Copy Objects and Data Between SQL Servers" task to accomplish this....migration both data and metadata (in master,model,and msdb ) databases?
Copy objects and data between SQL Server databases " Display the Select Objects to Transfer dialog box, where you can specify both objects and data to copy, if both the data source and destination are Microsoft® SQL Server™ databases. The objects you can transfer include tables, views, stored procedures, defaults, rules, constraints, user-defined data types, logins, users, roles, and indexes. You can transfer objects only between multiple instances of SQL Server version 7.0, from an instance of SQL Server 7.0 to an instance of SQL Server 2000, and between multiple instances of SQL Server 2000. "
can I apply "Copy objects and data between SQL Server databases" to run in two different sqlserver 2000 ( not an instance ) . what I mean is I have two different sql servers located in two different locations( I am not using an instance installation) can I still run the copy and get an identical database in both servers. Q2. if I have two sql server 2000 with different collations (one is binary and the other is the default) will I be able to run the copy wizard and still have an identical copy of sql server in both servers.
I personally tried to run the copy wizard and IT NEVER WORKED FOR ME and I really do not know the reason.
I'm a wee bit of a newbie concerning DTS and have inherited a db with a DTS containing a Copy SQL Server Objects task set to run nightly. Essentially, it does an informal backup of some core data.
Recently, I was notified that one of the tables it copies over is now empty on the Destination db. The DTS shows that it runs successfully with no errors logged, the table in question IS selected to be copied from the Source database, there IS data in the Source database table, and every other table in the Destination database is populated appropriately.
Any ideas on what would cause this one table to be empty without generating any errors?
I have not used the copy objects wizard that much. I used it today to copy 4views from my dev box to production. It copied the views, but also wiped outmy data in all the tables that the views are built around!!! Inproduction!!!!Can someone provide me some insight into why this happened?Thanks,Chad
I have a SQL2000 database that I need to copy tables from to my SQL2005 database. The table in the 2000 database are owned by a login named tsreader. This login is also in the dbo database role. So, when I access tables I have to prefix tha table name with tsreader. Currently in a SQL2000 database I have DTS packages that pull data over from this database everynight and they work fine. However when I try to do this from SSIS, I get the error "Object does not exist". My assumption is that it is trying to access the database tables as a "select * from tablea" as opposed to "select * from tsreader.tablea".
Any thoughts on how to make this work? I know I have the login correct because it is the same one I use for the SQL 2000 packages. Also, in SSIS it allows me to chose the tables I want yet I still get "Table does not exist at source" when I try and execute it.
How would I, using a sql script, copy permissions assigned to a useror a role in one or more databases to another user or a role in theirrespective databases?Help appreciated
I create a new SSIS package, drag in an Execute DTS 2000 Package Task, select and embed a DTS package which consists only one one task (as above), and then change the source & destination details (svr + user/pwd). Then when I go to the Copy tab, I get the following error when I hit Select Objects, to view the objects which the embedded DTS package should copy:
SQL-DMO error 21776: general error.
On further inspection, none of the objects selected for copy within the atomic/original DTS package, remain selected for copy within the embedded DTS package.
I have googled to search for an answer to this one, but to no avail. Any ideas would be greatly welcomed.
Challenge: Datapumping. To copy daily production data from N x 100 SQL 2k servers to one central SQL2k5 server. Sometimes copying task might demand transferring schema objects like temp tables and procedures from sql2005 to sql2000.
Since system organisation is different, what would be the best approach ?
I'm making a copy of some tanles between 2 servers.
Server 1 requires a sql login
Server 2 is using Windows Auth.
I have a user on server 1 named "odbc" able to log in.
however my copy task fails, when I drill the error, it's lists the first user in server 1 alphabetically as the failed login???? but in my dts I am specifying the "odbc" user and password.
I think I have a permissions problem on server 1. So my Question, what minimum permissions does user "odbc" need to copy a table?
On server 1 I can copy from northwind to server 2 just fine..but any other db on server 1 causes the weird failure with the wrong username.
After I run a SSIS package which is a "Trasfer SQL Server Objects Task", the database users has lost all mapping to SQL server login. I've tried various options inside the package, however, to my surprise, sometimes the user settings at SOURCE database is lost! I won't suppose to change anything in the SOURCE database after running a data transfer... Anyone knows what's wrong? Thanks in advance!
Can anyone refer me to good 'recipes' or sources of information on thistopic??I have Visual Studio Tools for Office, which installs SS 2005 Expresslocally to my XP box, and I want to develop in SS 2005, then copy thetables or queries or reports etc. to a SS 2005 Standard server.Thank you, Tom
p.s. Does anyone have any needles I can borrow? I think sticking them in my eyes would be nicer than working with SSIS.

Using import task only can select and copy tables and views.
Since there are many objects at the same DB I don't need copy, is there any way let me select and copy some objects, such as functions, stored procedures?
I would like to know if there are any good MDX query builder tools out there. The one that is shipped with AS does not suffice in that it does not support more than 2 axes. Also if there are any are there any that make life a little easier in that they are drag and drop and all but create the statement for you?
I need to create a matrix in SSRS using cubes and in doing so need to write MDX queries, not my strong point. Are there any tools that can help me "auto create" the statement with drag and drop functionality?
Hi people!I'm looking for an SQL query builder application that helps me constructSELECT queries with full respect of underlaying relational model. It wouldbe nice if the app is database independant because my work covers MSSQL,mySQL and Oracle DB.OpenSource and/or comercial suggestions are welcome!*** thanx ***
HI, in a lookup component, when I want to use the query builder, it will show tables from a different connection manager than the one I picked for being the lookup source. E.g. connection manager A points to a schema that contains table1 and table2 and connection manager B points to a schema that contains table 5 and table 6.
When I configure the lookup component to use connection manager B, I still see connection manager A tablles; isntead of seeing table 5 and 6 I see table 1 and 2.
hi,i can do"select * from products where name = @name" kind of statements in query builder but"select * from products where name LIKE @name" dosen't work!" any ideas? i'm using sql server express. thanks
Hi All, For one of our projects, we are supposed to write a query builder to display reports in tabular format. For the filter criteria ( i.e where clause ) user can select from a list of predefined columns and assign conditions to it. For example, user can select 'CustomerName' as the column and specify condition where name begines with 'A'. Similarly he can also select ouput columns Problem The columns that user selects can come from different tables. We are planning to store mapping between tables and columns and also their primary and foreign keys in an xml file. But I would want to understand how to build the join clause. For example, say there are 4 tables customer, customer address, order, and items. Say user wants the number of items purchased by each customer who stays in 'Delhi'. 1. In output column he selects customer.name and count(items.id) 2. In filter criteria he selects address.city = 'delhi' How would the query builder know that to join customer and items, order also has to be joined. Any pointers would be helpful.
I hope you mind a questions from an inexperienced SQL 2000 user.
I don't have much experience with building queries for SQL2000. So I am lookinf for a software tool that will help me create simple queries. I'm also looking for an online (either on the web or a downloadable program) query reference to help remine me how to make these queries.
I am trying to emulate the "Find unmatched Records" Access Query using DTS. I have a small table with a list of codes that I need to use to exclude records in my text export.
I have created a left outer join and set the criteria for the joined field in the 'right' table to be null. I am repeatedly getting no records as a result.
Wouldn't the joined field in the right table for unmatched records by default be null? I'm stumped as to why this seamingly simple process won't work for me. I have attached the select statement for your review.
On pages 123, 124 of Data Mining with SQL Server 2005, I can't finish the example. When I add 'Monthly' to the end of the expression "[Home Owners].[Theater Freq]" in the Criteria/Argument column, I usually get an error message saying the syntax is incorrect when I switch to the Results view. If I place a dot after the original expression, like this: [Home Owners].[Theater Freq].Monthly, I get an error message that "The dot expression is not allowed in the context at line 4, column 23. Use sub-SELECT instead." What am I doing wrong?
Either edit the query from Dataset edit dialog or in the query builder (switch the design mode to show the query string), I can't save the query and always get the following error:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------
The query cannot be retrieved from the query builder. Check the query for syntax errors. Reporting Services will continue to use the most recent valid query.
