Replicating Structure Only Not Data
Dec 1, 2006
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?
Thanks,
Kirk

Are there any known problems with replicating structure changes (New table, etc...), as well as data in MSSQL Server 7.0?

Hi,
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 !!
Thanks a mill,
Sophie

Hello,
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.

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.
Thanks for the help everyone.

I need to find a solution for having the same database objects on two servers without the data, and be able to synchronize them on demand.
Whenever a table changes (alter, create, delete) I need to be able to replicate those changes to the destination server without affecting its data.
If I add, alter or delete a stored procedure, or other objects such as functions, etc. I need to be able to see those changes on the destination.
any ideas.

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?
Thanks, Dave

Hello,
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?
Thanks,
Aaron Lowe

Hi,
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?
Thanks

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.

Hello! I'm new to these forums.
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?

Good morning,
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.
Thanks in advance...

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.
Is this possible?

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
c) thinking about sql replication.

Ok, I haven't been doing too much database work lately and my brain has gonesoft.I need some help with proper structure.My database is being used to track television shows.Any given show will be associated with at least one production company (callit ProdCo) but possibly up to 3 production companies (never more than that).I have:tblNetworkNetID (numeric, Identity)NetName (char, 50)tblShowDataBookingNum (numeric, Identity)BookingNumExt (numeric, Identity)Now, if I was just dealing with one ProdCo I would add it tblShowData as aforeign key from tblNetwork; no problem.How do I structure it so that I can combine 1 to 3 ProdCo's as one referencein tblShowData.I tried:tblNetworkComboID (numeric, Identity)Net1Net2Net3The problem is, obviously I can only join the FK from tblNetworks to one ofthe NetX fields in tblNetworkCombo.I don't quite know where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.

i have a database on one server that I want to duplicate on a new server. I do not want to copy the data only the structure.
I created some SQL scripts from the current db as I have read that is what I should do.
My question is where do I use this script on my new server to create the new tables etc..
Do i use the import feature. Where do I run my sql script?
thanks

I have a database (MSSQL). To demonstrate the problem let me show a fictive Tablestructure. I don't want to discuss about how to save the data differntly, because the structure is fix and I can't change it.To get this result I would do a sql query with a lot of joins like that:
SELECT firstname, lastname, email.value, phone.value
FROM Customer
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT Customer_Properties.id, Customer_Properties.value
FROM Customer_Properties
[code]...
I don't think that this is really performant and the SQL-Queries get very complicated. Give it a other methode for that? I can't change the data structure.

We have SQL Enterprise Manager (8.0). Is there any way to Copy a Table from one database to another with only the Structure (design) - not all the Data?
I can't find any option in the Import Data Wizard that only copies the Table structure.

I have written 5 content-management systems and am getting a little bored writing a lot of the same functionality and tweaking it for different datamodels. Is there a way within .NET to have visibility of a database's structure (ie, data type, column names, foreign keys etc)? I'd like to write up a dynamically generated form for any given table, displaying appropriate form controls based on data type and foreign keys.

new to SQL Server 2000. We have an obsolete database that we need to
save off for x number of years. DB2 has utilities (DB2Look/Export)
that allows for the export of the data along with a schema and script
that enables the future recreation of the structure of the databases
and tables to include RI etc. You can save off the architecture and
relationships of the tables as well as the data.
Does SQL Server have anything similar?
Failing that, our plan is to backup the data and logs then image the entire disk.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all!I have an application that needs to copy the database structure fromone database to another without using the "Generate SQL Script"function in Enterprise Manager. I'd like to do this from within astored procedure. Can someone recommend the best approach for this?I've seen references to using SQL-DMO from a stored procedure using thesp_OA* procs in other postings to this group but was wondering if therewas an easier way? Can I use bcp and then use xp_cmdshell from withinmy stored procedure? It's not clear to me from the documentationwhether bcp copies both structure and data or just data? Is there abetter way?Thanks in advance for any help!Karen

Hi SQL gurus,I have a table structure question. I will have a table 'Models' thathas one to many 'incomes' and one to many 'costs'. These 2 entitieshave exactly the same structure, which is 7 smallmoney and a name. Isit better to create a table 'Incomes' and a table 'Costs', with boththe same number of fields like this :Incomes-------------in_idmodelin_1in_2in_3in_4in_5in_6in_7in_nameCosts-------------c_idmodelc_1c_2c_3c_4c_5c_6c_7c_nameor is it better to create one single table that will contain bothentities like that :Incomes_Costs-------------ic_idmodelic_1ic_2ic_3ic_4ic_5ic_6ic_7ic_nameic_isIncomewhich only differs from the 2 above by the isIncome field to know whichrow is an income and which row is a cost.I'd like to know which method is the best in terms of performance andgeneral structure and would greatly appreciate if you explain a littlethe reasons that drove you to suggest me a method over the other.Thanks all for your time!ibiza

Hi guys,
Hopefully this is the right place to ask.
Basically we have have two larges databases, one of which is updated from the other monthly.
For exaplination purposes:
DB1 = Source DB
DB2 = Destination DB
The problem that I require a soltion to is, how do I insert rows from a table in DB1 to DB2 and recover and store the identity of the new row against the ID of the existing row. This is so that I can then matain constraints when it comes to inserting rows into the next table and the next and so on.
This process of storing the ID's as lookups will need to be done for almost every table of which there are 20.
The best Idea we have at the minute is to create a table with two colums for each table (drop it and recreate it after each table has exported) that contains the two ID's, new and old.
This will require using a cursor for each row in the existing table, inserting it in the new table and the using @@Scope_Identity to get the new ID and then insert the two values into the temp table.
This too me feels like it will be very slow, particuarly when I bear in mind how much data we have.
Does anyone have any better ideas? (Sorry if the explaination isn't great, its difficult to get accross)
Thanks
Ed

I have been working on my windows app, using SQL Server 2005 (& C#) but I now have loads of junk data, so I want to copy the structure without any data to a new set of files that can become the production version.
I assume I can use backup and restore in future when I want a copy of my production data to use for future testing.
How would I take just one table from my test database and add it to my production database without retyping the design?
Apart from the size limitation is there any advantage in buying a version of SQL Server over using the Express edition?

I'm looking to create a new version of a database but with completely reloaded data - so I want to retain the database structure but none of the data.
Is there an easy way (read: without a DBA on staff) to copy an existing database structure - preferably with views and stored procedures - and not take the data along for the ride?
Thanks in advance for suggestions...!
