Problem During Data Porting Using Linked Server
Feb 4, 2005Hi All,
I have problems while using the Linked Server in MS SQL Server 2000 for data porting.
The Scenario :
I have about 900 hundred tables created in SQL Server database. These tables are freshly created and has no records.
I have created a Linked Server with a DSN connecting to a Sybase database from which the data has to be ported to the newly created tables in SQL Server.
The database creation as well as data porting is done by a Delphi application by executing the scripts in several .sql files.
I have shown an example script below which does the data porting.
INSERT INTO TEST_DATA (COL1,COL2,COL3)
SELECT COL1,COL2,COL3 FROM [LINK_SYBASEDB]..[DBA].[TEST_DATA]
The Issue :
I often get the below error which stops the data porting process ( the error is logged in the Errorlog by the Delphi application )
D:DBPortTEST_DATA.SQL
[OLE/DB provider returned message: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed]
NOTE : This error is NOT COMING CONSISTENTLY.Often I get this error and sometimes all the data is ported without this error.
It will be great if any of you can help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance !!!
regards,
Hari Haran Arulmozhi
Question About Porting Data Into A New Database.
Aug 2, 2007We rewrote one of our legacy C#/asp.net applications that accesses a sql server 2000 database. The new database schema looks very similar to the old one. The major difference is that some of the atributes in the database tables are different. But pretty much we are using the same tables, plus or minus a few.
We need to import the old data into the new database. I have never had to undertake this type of thing before as I am not a DBA, but a developer. I feel a little scared about this whole process. My boss is open to us hiring a contractor to help with the process.
My biggest concern is the referential integrity of the database.
Can someone help me out. Does this sound like something that can be easily done or should I ask for some help.

Porting An Access Db To SQL Server
Mar 6, 2004I have a MS Access DB that needs to be moved to SQL Server. I have no clue how to do this or even what the issues and considerations are.
Can anyone provide a link to any resources where I can educate myself? Or offer any advice or "lessons learned".
I anticipate using the same Access DB as a front end since the forms are all set up as we like.
Thanks in advance

May 9, 2007Hi, I am porting a massive VB6 project to ASP.net 2005. Most of the code is fine, however because the original developers used lots of data controls and my own time restrictions I thought to replicate the functionality by using Sqldatasource controls instead.
These data controls are bound to DBtruegrids. The project has has lots of code like...
AdodcOrders.Recordset.RecordCount > 0 or If AdodcOrders.Recordset.EOF or AdodcOrders.Recordset.MoveNext() or
AdodcDetail.Recordset!FieldName
The problem is the sqldatasource control doesn't have a recordset/dataset property which I can access and manipulate, or does it? What should I do to get round these? The project has thousands of lines like this in so its not feasible to rewrite it (although if I could I would!).
Any suggestions please gratefully appreciated.

Porting Access To SQL Down The Line
Mar 17, 2004I have started a new site using a CMS which can be either Access or MS SQL. For ease of install and cost factors the site is currently running as an Access dbase driven site. If traffic numbers and content grow and Access dbase blows out to, lets say 500meg will I see a major degradation in performance and will it be possible at a later data to somehow export the Access dbase data into MS SQL dbase format. I'm assuming I'd have to engage a fairly competent developer but before I get into the trap of growing a large site, I'd like confirmation that I'd be able to extract all of the data and get it into a more robust solution as and when required. phew!

View 1 Replies View RelatedMore Questions About Porting From MySQL To MS SQL
Aug 2, 20061) In several tables, in my MySQL version, I created columns usingsomething like the following:`ab_timestamp` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on updateCURRENT_TIMESTAMP,This allowed me to ensure that when a record is either added or edited,the value in the field is set to the current date and time. I.E.,ab_timestamp is given the current date and time when a record iscreated, and then it is updated to the date and time at which therecord is updated. I learned the hard way that MS SQL does not like"on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP". So, it looks like MS SQL will allow meto initialize ab_timestamp to the current date and time, but notautomatically update it to the date and time at which the record isupdated. I have plenty of code to port that depends on the behavioursupported by MySQL. DO I have to modify all that code, or is there away to get MS SQL to provide it? (Yes, I know 'timestamp' isdeprecated in MS SQL and that I should use datetime instead, and infact have already done so.)2) I began with a single SQL script that creates all the tables, views,functions and triggers the database needs. On trying to get MS SQL toaccept it, I encountered a number of error messages saying that CREATEFUNCTION and CREATE VIEW need to be the first statement in a script.Why? I know I can work around this odd constraint by putting eachfunction and view (and IIRC trigger) into its own script, but thatseems like a make work effort imposed for some unknown reason by MSSQL, unless there is another way to get around it.3) I see, in the documentation for CREATE FUNCTION, functions are notallowed to use a timestamp for either a parameter or a return value.This is in reference to a pair of scalar functions I am using whichneed to manipulate date and time values. For the purpose ofclarification, is this documentation refering to all date/time datatypes, or only the deprecated timestamp type? As examples, considerone function that needs to return the most recent date in a date columnin a specific table, or another function that computes a date from adate and an offset (e.g. if called with the value returned by the firstfunction as the first argument and '-7' as the second, returns the dateof the day that is a week earlier than that date). These two functionsare frequently used in the SQL code I'm trying to port and I reallydon't want to complicate so many of those statements if I don't haveto.ThanksTed

Nov 21, 2006I am still pursuing my studies. I have been recently assigned a project for building Database Application for my college's library. And there was no better option to implement it with VB.NET 2.0 & SQL Server 2005.
VB.NET 2005 & SQL Server Express 2005 are the resources at my disposal.
The problem is that the college already has a Library Management System in place, built in VB6.0 with Access. I have been asked to pepare the application from scratch. But the database obviously cannot be left out.
Now, can anyone suggest me an efficient way to port the Access database to SQL Server express. Also, the databse has been desinged poorly & is not properly normalized.
Can I port it to SQL Server Express with some slight modifications to its structure without any loss of data??????

Questions About Keys - Porting Code From MySQL To MS-SQL
Aug 2, 2006Understand, I have developed a number of applications using RDBMS,including MySQL, PostgreSQL and MS Access, but this is my firstexperience with MS SQL. I'd bet my bottom dollar that MS SQL supportswhat I need, but I just haven't found where it is explained in anydetail in the documentation I have. The pages I have found strike meas a little too terse for my needs.In MySQL, I used statements like:PRIMARY KEY (`ic_contact_id`),KEY `ic_planner_id_k_tmp` (`ic_rep_code`)at the end of the SQL statement that creates a table. The primary keyhad to be unique but the other did not. Defining the non-unique keypaid huge dividends in the performance of certain queries, sometimesleading to orders of magnitude improvement compared to when the KEY wasnot defined (a few seconds vs tens of minutes). In joins, these keysrelate to primary keys in other tables that function as lookup tables.Otherwise, their primary role is for aggregation functions (max, min,&c.) in relation to group by clauses. The performance improvementsfrom having the KEYs defined are greatest in the latter.I have learned the hard way that MS SQL seems to like my primary keyclauses but not my KEY clauses. I don't know, and at present don'tcare, if this is because MySQL supports my KEYs as an extension to thestandard, or if it is a matter of the two RDBMS interpreting thestandard differently, or something else. What I need to know right nowis how do I obtain in MS SQL the same benefit as the MySQL KEY providedto me.A second question is that, in studying the documentation for the createtable statement, I saw reference to clustered vs non-clustered keys (atleast I assume they relate to keys since they immediately follow, andare indented from, the primary key and unique keywords). What exactlyis clustered and why? BTW, my primary understanding of "clustering"derives from work with numerical taxonomy and biogeography, but I'dwager that is something completely different from any clustering donein an RDBMS.I'll appreciate any clarification you can provide.Thanks,Ted

Trouble Porting A Trivially Simple Function - With Declared Variables
Aug 4, 2006Here is one such function:CREATE FUNCTION my_max_market_date () RETURNS datetimeBEGINDECLARE @mmmd AS datetime;SELECT max(h_market_date) INTO @mmmd FROM holdings_tmp;RETURN @mmmd;ENDOne change I had to make, relative to what I had working in MySQL, wasto insert 'AS' between my variable and its type. Without 'AS', MS SQLinsisted in telling me that datetime is not valid for a cursor; and Iam not using a cursor here. The purpose of this function is tosimplify a number of SQL statements that depend on obtaining the mostrecent datetime value in column h_market_date in the holdings_tmptable.The present problem is that MS SQL doesn't seem to want to allow me toplace that value in my variable '@mmmd'. I could do this easily inMySQL. Why is MS SQL giving me grief over something that should be sosimple. I have not yet found anything in the documentation for SELECTthat could explain what's wrong here. :-(Any ideas?ThanksTed

Data Conversion From String To Decimal When Saving Data To SQL Server 2005 Using An ADO Recordset
Feb 12, 2008Hello,
I am wondering what conversion rules apply, when a string, which contains a number, is saved to a SQL Server 2005 into a column of type decimal.
This is the code I€™m using (C++):
CString cValue = "0.75"
_variant_t vtFieldValue;
vtFieldValue = _variant_t(cValue)
pRecordSet->Fields->Item["MyColumn"]->Value = vtFieldValue;
"pRecordSet" is an ADO recordset. The database column "MyColumn" is of type "decimal(19,10)".
The most important question for me is, if the regional settings of the database server or the regional settings of the client PC are considered during the conversion from the string to the decimal value. For example in standard French regional settings the "." would not be recognized as decimal separator.
I am also wondering if the language of the database instance, in which this data is saved, is considered during this conversion or any other settings of this database instance.
So my general question is: Does anybody know exactly what rules apply during the above mentioned conversion?
Thank you for your help.

How To Optimize Data Import With Huge Volumes And Joins Across Data Sources Not All SQL Server Based?
Jun 7, 2006I need to periodically import a (HUGE) table of data from an external data source (not SQL Server) into SQL Server, with the following scenarios:
Some of the records in the external data source may not exist in SQL.Some of the records in the external data source may have a different value at different imports, but this records are identified univocally by the same primary key in the external datasource and in SQL Server.Some of the records in the external data source may be the same in SQL.
Due to the massive volume of the import, I would like to import only the records which are different from what I have in SQL Server (cases 1 and 2 above). In fact case 2 is the most critical.
I thought of making a query with a left outer join between the data in the external data source table (SOURCE) and the data in the SQL Server table (DESTIN). The join is done on the respective primary keys (composed keys of up to 10 columns) and one of the WHERE conditions will be that the value in SOURCE is different from the value in DESTIN.
The result of this query would be exactly what I need to import.
How to do this in SSIS??? I couldn't figure out how to join tables in different data sources yet.
In fact I cannot write a stored procedure to do that, since one of the sources is in a datasources not SQL Server.
I have seen the Lookup transformation in this article http://www.sqlis.com/default.aspx?311 but this is not exacltly what I want to do.
Another possibility is to use the merge join, but due to the sorting I believe its performances would be terrible!
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Taking Data From A Different Databases/Data Warehouses Using A Sequel Server 2005 Based Database.
Apr 1, 2008
I'm in the middle of developing a Database for a hospital that measures its audits, inhouse operations, and finance. What we currently have and do everyday is collect data from a large database that is real time with patient data, progess, infomation, etc and dump it into a data warehouse that runs on TSI/Eclipsys. We run reports using a number of programs and dump it into Excel sheets that have charts, reports, etc. This Database for which I'm developing won't come soley from the TSI/Eclypsys source, but this is the only source thats updated regularly. I don't want to have in sync with TSI/Eclipysys in fear that every day when it updates data may be lost, not read, or worse won't be up date if there is a problem. My question is is it possible to run a query from Sequel Server 2005 that will take that data upon request using the reporing features on Sequel Server 2005. i.e. What if I need to run a report on measure B in department 12 from Jan 1-Feb 1, instead of being in sync, can I just write queries to take that information rather than double the data and take up twice the space and trouble. FYI, these datatypes rarely change in the TSI/Eclipsys data warehouse. This sure was long question and didn't intended it to be . Thanks for listening and hope to hear back.
