I need to upload bulk data into a datatable. Some of the source data will already exist in the target table to be updated. How can I INSERT only the new data into this datatable? Thanks.
I am very new to SQL Server. Plenty of SQL knowledge but the whoe SQL server enviornment is new.
I am working with SQL Server 2005. My task is to generate reports without affecting our live database. I have setup a second server and installed SQL Server 2005 on that too. My thought was that maybe I could mirror or replicate the table I require over to this new server and run my queries from here. Is this easy to do ?
I read that mirroring might not work as it is solely for back up /fall over purposes and that data on the mirrored server would not be accessible.
I have also been looking at SSIS but at the moment this is all a bit like double dutch to me ! Can anyone point me in the right direction, preferably somewhere beginner friendly ie not overly complicated !!
We have four mobile devices that are set up for merge replication via the web. We are not receiving errors but some of the data is not coming over to the devices. If we manually add a record that record will come over, but there is data that is on the server that isn't on the devices. If we run the snapshot for each device (We're using host_name as a filter) nothing happens. If we do validation check we get errors. If we reinitialize all devices it works but the next days data (sql job populates data to the publisher db at night) isn't on the device after syncing the next morning. Any help would be appreciated.
We have a database that I would like to replicate on another server but am unable to use regular replication via publish/subscribe due to the fact that the production database has no primary keys on tables, only clustered indexes. The backup db needs to be as close to real-time synchronized as possible and will be in fairly active use most of the time. Has anyone had success in developing such a system? How did you do it and what are the pitfalls? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. W.
I have SQL Server running on my internal LAN. I want to have a second SQL Server running on a hosted (shared) website. I then would like these servers to talk to each other. At some scheduled time I need to publish data to the web, and I then need to subscribe to data input on the web by various clients. My internal LAN can see the Internet via our cable modem.
What is the best way to do this? What software will I need to run. I'm looking for the big picture.
Basically I need to replicate 2 tables from a Visual Fox Pro application to SQL server 2005 From an Intranet to a hosted Center. (Different domains) Is this possible? Any suggestions?
I have a SQL 2005 database that I am using with a website. This basic website will be sold to other companies and ran on their servers with different URLs. Since, All of these databases will store different data, I'm not sure how I can make updates to original database and replicate those structure changes to the other DBs without changing the data also. Is there a way to automate the replication of structural DB changes without replicating the data along with it?
In 2007 we plan on moving many of our SQL Servers (2000 & 2005) to a SAN. We will also be investigating the best way to replicate data from our production SAN to a Disaster Recovery SAN. I would like to know if people rely on built-in SQL Server replication / log shipping or third party products like DoubleTake or MirrorView. What's the advantage, if any, to using a third-party product?
I've been searching for information on this for awhile unsuccessully. I am using SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edititon and transactional replication with separate publisher, distributor and subscribers. I need to encrypt data on our publisher and then I need to replicate that data out (i.e., encrypted data, not encrypted transmission). Since the keys are server specific, I imaging there might be some difficulty in doing this, but I figure I can't be the only one with this problem. Does anyone have a resource or know what must be done to get this accomplished?
I need to implement SQL Reporting Services but do not wish to use the production database for running the reports against. I intend to set a seperate server for reporting services. The data only needs to be refreshed on a daily basis, during slient hours. What would be the best way to copy data from the production to the reporting services server?
How do you setup replication from SQL Server 2000 to a oracle database? We want to push changes from sql sever to oracle, evertime sql server table is changed. I have a working ODBC connection. When I try setting up a push to the oracle side I can not find the subscriber In the list. Can someone point me in a direction, with a detailed way of doing this.
I have been trying to replicate from Sql Server to Postgres using Enterprise Manager and the Postgres ANSI ODBC driver version 8.02.02.
With enterprise manager, I was able to copy tables over when I used the option to "DROP existing table and re-create it," but columns of data types datetime and decimal were copied as varchar.
So I tried drop the tables manually in Postgres and then create them with the proper data types (timestamp without time zone, and numeric). I then tried changing the article option to "Keep the existing table unchanged" and I get the following error from the Distribution agent: Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.
So I then tried using the article snapshot option "Delete all data in the existing table" and I got the same error.
Anyone has any luck replicating in this fashion? Or should I maybe go about it differently?
Hello!! i need to upload a csv file to sql server, i am trying to load using bcp or bulk load, but the files has null columns, so i guess, that's why the program is displaying error.
Simple question: How do I import/upload/insert data into a new database using MS SQL Server Management Studio Express, from a source like MSAccess or another SQL DB? I currently have a sample sql db (sample.bak), but unless I originally had it in MS SQL Server Management Studio Express it doesn't appear to want to restore it.
I have a table that I am including in replication. However, I do NOT want the data for one of its columns to be included in the replication. Meaning, I want all of the schema and all of the data EXCEPT for a single column.
How do I do this?
I have searched the forum for some ideas, but did not find any.
Every month, a huge data need to upload from a Access table to a SQL server table. If I use odbc to do it will cause a heavy network traffic. What is the best way to do it?
I am trying to replicate data from a view in the publisher to a table in the subscriber (transaction replication). I do not need the view's base table, or the view itself, replicated to the subscriber. I only want to data from the view to feed a table in the subscriber.
Hi, I am trying to upload query data to a CSV file. I have created a DTS package and its running fine when i run it manually. But, when i schedule it is not updating the query contents.
I need your help to do this task: 1. i have one query to pull all details 2. another query to pull summary info 3. i have to write a csv file with the results of above two queries. filename has to be in the given format. 4. This job has to run daily and upload file with latest data.
For the first time, it is uploading files correctly. But next time onwards, it is uploading the same contents. I have used global variables to store the query output value (RowSet) and used ActiveX Script to read the variable and write to a file.
The problem is it is not refreshing the query contents.
Client is running X- version of application and corresponding database size is huge. Now client's vendor is releasing Y-version of same application with many database schema changes (like new tables added, new columns added, renamed existing columns and etc) To upgrade to the Y-version, vendor is suggesting to my client that down the system and do the upgrade for application/database to Y-version. We are sure that this process will take days together to upgrade to the Y-version. My client is not ready to down the system for that long. So we are trying to find the solution with minimal down time.The approach we are thinking is,
1) Create the replicated database to another server (server2) from production server(server1) using golden gate with X-version
2) Create new tables/schema updated tables from Y-version database on same server1. Here for Updated schema tables we are planning to use the name <table_name_Y_version> as the same table name exists in X-version.
3)With above 2 steps, golden gate replicate the changes from production to server1 and server1 will have the new Y-version table schema (with different concatenate name ' _Y_version'). BTW , there is no affect for the production
4) At this stage we are planning to find best approach, to fill the '<table_name>_Y_version' from X-version tables. two challenges here a) all data needs to be moved to Y-version tables b) they have to sync data in real time.
we thought of going to
a) ssis package to pump the data to Y-version tables, but real time data will not sync.
b) trigger based technique, previous experience said, lot of load
I need to store the data from a web page having different controls to SQL Server 2000 database. The columns were created as of type "NVARCHAR", but when I enter any mixed data for example (sunder??) in two or more languages, only english characters are stored and other language characters are stored as ????.

I am facing one problem with sql 2005 SSIS while uploading a "||" seperated text file with Data Flow in SSIS.Below I am giving the sample data of the text file
data||data||data
data||data||data
When I uploaded it using sql 2000 DTS it was not giving and it was being uploaded into the table but when I tried with SQL 2005 it is giving the below problem.
"[Flat File Source [1]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Column 2" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.". "
I am wondering if it is possible to use SSIS to sample data set to training set and test set directly to my data mining models without saving them somewhere as occupying too much space? Really need guidance for that.
I am rewritting our DTS that upload tables in FoxPro to SQL Server using SSIS. I am finding the that SSIS is way slower. My uploads using DTS take just 7 minutes where doing the same thing in SSIS is taking 1 hour 15 minutes.
