Replication :: Table Migration From One Database To Another In Same Instance
Nov 26, 2015
I want to move table from one database to another database in same instance, table should migrated with complete data,with same column data type, all constraints like PK,FK unique key, check, identity, permissions has to be there.. which is the right way to achieve this.
I'm trying to migrate tables from one database to another. The tables in the source database (MY_SOURCE_DB) have a schema of "dbo". I want to create the tables in the target database (MY_TARGET_DB) with a schema of "xyz". I want to migrate all of the tables with "contract" in the table name:
select table_name from information_schema.tables where table_name like '%contract%'
I want to migrate the full table definitions, table data and dependent objects. This needs to be done through a sql script as opposed to SSIS.
In my production box is running on SQL7.0 with Merge replication and i want add one more table and i want add one more column existing replication table. Any body guide me how to add .This is very urgent Regards Don
Hi, I was wondeing how it could be posible to export a table from a database instance to another one. I only need the structure of the table to be imported to the new database instance. I don't need the data from the source table. Is there any utility or scritp to do this? It will be great to import indexes and keys also. Thanks in advance.
In our environment on log shipping is configured but there are some jobs in primary servers the jobs are with SSIS packages with dependency on some files/folders also. Now how can I move the jobs to secondary server so that it can be enabled in time of DR replication.
I need to move my database servers from one location to another. The issue is that I have over 200 databases to move and my clients can't afford a downtime. The collective volume of all the databases is over 2.5 TB and growing.
I am thinking to copy these databases in batches over the WAN to the new location and replicate them using Transactional replication till I have all the databases moved and synchronized.
Will it be wise enough to use replication for synchronizing 200 databases or is there a better approach which I can use to move these databases with minimum downtime and compromise on performance of applications.
Note: Migration is from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005.

We are going away from a 2003 Windows Server OS with SQL Server 2008 R2 to a 2012 Windows Server with 2012 SQL Server. Both the distributor and subscriber resides on 2003 Windows Server and the focus will be to migrate those databases to the 2012 SQL Server.
 We would also like to avoid sending down a new snapshot due to logic in the replication process (major headache to clean up data).  what's the best approach in moving the distributor and subscriber databases without having to run a snapshot? Â
In theory and needs testing:
1. Work with business users to get downtime
2. Stop sql apply so no new changes are going to the Oracle publisher database
3. Remove subscription, publication and distributor from current replication
4. Oracle DBA to clear out replication related objects - fresh clean slate
5. Use log shipping to apply last t-log and restore db with Keep_Replication
6. Set up new distribution, publication (keep existing object unchanged), and subscriber (without initialization) Will this work?
I want to move one database from the source SQL Server 2000 instance to a new SQL 2000 instance in another machine. I have five user databases in this source SQL instance. How should be my approach to move this single database out of this ? My understanding is restoring this database in the new instance, copying all logins to the new instance and then copying the jobs, DTS packages, alerts, operators only specific to this database will do it. Please let me know if this is exactly what I should do ..

We are doing Reporting for a transaction system. since we do not want to hamper the live database we are planning to do the transactional replication.
Few questions for transactional system.
1. If we replicate a database , then what ever changes happened for the source db will be transferred automatically?
   for ex: If i change a column name of a table in source system, then will it transferred automatically to the replicated db?
2. If we do any change to any of the tables in source system, do we need to recreate the replication and reload the entire data?
3. Also we are planning to enable cdc on this replicated db to enable incremental load to my warehouse. So if we disable the cdc and do a full load into the replicated db, then do we need to perform full refresh on warehouse?
4. Can we replicate on a table level? so that if we reload only the changed table and then reload then there wont be any impact on the over all flow of other tables.
Is it possible to create a Pull Subscription on a named instance in SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition? When I try, I get an error message 14234 saying that it can't find the value '@server'. Its hint is to look for the server in sp_helpserver. When I go to QA and connect to that named instance and run sp_helpserver, I see it there.
We have our replication environment with a separate SQL 2014 publisher, distributor and subscriber. We have a table named DPSP on 14 databases which is to be published via transactional replication to 1 subscription database.Â
The source tables are identical in name, schema and clustered index. We have created 14 tables in the subscription database with a suffix to the name (see below):  Each table in the subscription database has its own uniquely named primary key and clustered index:
Below are the settings for one of the published article:
The same process is repeated for each DPSP table created in 14 separate publications. Snapshots are generated and subscriptions created successfully. After some time, the log reader starts to show the following errors in replication monitor:
2015-08-12 21:48:24.156 7 transaction(s) with 11 command(s) were delivered. 2015-08-12 21:49:04.233 5 transaction(s) with 7 command(s) were delivered. 2015-08-12 21:50:04.355 No replicated transactions are available. 2015-08-12 21:50:09.378 13 transaction(s) with 17 command(s) were delivered. 2015-08-12 21:51:12.168 No replicated transactions are available. 2015-08-12 21:52:12.306 No replicated transactions are available. 2015-08-12 21:52:32.337
We have a database we are replicating to about 8 SQL Express subscribers from a SQL 2012 SP2 publisher. The size of the database grew too large for the 10GB license limit for SQL Express and now replication refuses to replicate any of our deletions on the publisher to reduce the size of the database. I've come up with a few options below.
1) Drop one of the larger table indices on the subscriber database to get below the size restriction. Permit the replication to replicate the deleted records and then rebuild the index. (I'm not sure how important an index is to this table. Is it merely performance related?)
2) "Upsize" SQL Express to SQL Standard on the affected boxes. Allow the deletes to replicate. Backup the database, downgrade to SQL Express and restore the database back to SQL a new SQL express instance. This would involve a lot of work on each box. I'd like to avoid it if possible.
I am currently having publisher(database A), subscriber (database B) and distributor on the same instance for a test environment that is using a uni directional transactional replication. Now I need to setup another unidirectional transactional replication in the same test instance but for a different database. Publisher database is D and subcsirber database is E.
Hi, I've went throught the SP4 documentation but I didn't find a clear answer about how to deal with this situation: In the situation of a multi instances server in which all instances are SP3a, can I just upgrade a couple of instances to SP4 and leave the others in SP3a ? . One of the instances I may have to leave in SP3a belongs to a merge replication environnement (Distributor and Publisher), while the Subscriber is also in SP3 on a remote server (which I don't administer..).(the point is that in this situation I have to upgrade the 2 servers simultaneously) In other words, when I 'll apply the SP4 to just one instance, I understood that the all the tools will be upgraded to SP4.
Will the merge replication involving a SP3 instance on the same server still work?
We have an old client server application (vb / sql 2000) we have now converted that application to a web based asp.net / sql 2000. Though the db is same (sql 2000) for both applications, tables/columns has been changed during the development process. Now i need to migrate the data from our old db to this new db. Should this be done the "painful" way of checking each and every table its links/dependencies, columns manually or is there a tool which helps me migrate the data from one db to another (even though the tables/columns are different)Please Help.Thanks.
Hi, How do i migrate my DataBase From sql serevr 2000 to 2005? Including the data. In 2000, it was easy through DTS (Copy SQL Server Objects Task: undefined). But don't any thing of that type in 2005(SSIS). Kindly Help...........
I have created new xyz database in one of our sql server 2005. Now I want to restore the YTR database from sql server 2000 server and I also wanted my SQL server 2000 logins/users and thier permissions remain same on YTR database.
Hi,I wonder wether a software or a device (or script) allowing to migrate datafrom an existant database to a new database by using correspondant ODBCdrivers existed.Thanks for your help.
I have to migrate an Oracle Db to SQL Server 2005, including a 450 gb table with images. The estimate is that it will take about 24 hours to move this data. I€™m using SSIS with just one OLEDB input and sending to one OLEDB output. The SSIS process will be running on the destination SQL Server with 2gb of memory and at least half that memory in use by other apps (including SQL Server). I tried the SQL Server Destination but received errors trying to use it.
Are there any suggestions on settings or the best way to do this?
Hi i have had a few problems taking a database backup .bak from an SQL Express install on one server i.e. SQLHOST/SQLExpress and moving it to a new machine in a different office i.e. MASTERSERVER/SQLExpress
Can you tell me what is the best practice for SQL database migration fromone DB server, to another one, new DB server. The old DB server will beremoved.1. Backup from old and restore all databases on the new server2. Export data and copy/import on a new server3. Something else...Thanks in advance for any good advice...Regards
Could someone help us with a problem we're having with regard tomoving several databases from SQL 7 to SQL 2000 on different serversin different domains. Our current SQL 7 server resides in one domain,and holds several databases. We now want to move these to a SQL 2000server in another domain.We're trying to use the Copy Database wizard on the SQL 2000 server(logged in as the local admin account), selecting the SQL 7 server asthe source, using 'sa' account on that server. The target is the SQL2000 server, again using 'sa' account. We're leaving everything elsewith regards to logins, jobs etc as default (i.e. taking everythingthat can be found), but when the steps execute, the last step thatbrings the database across fails with an error code -2147467259 -Failed to create the share OMWWIZI.Can anyone help us out with this error, or provide any suggestions asto what we can do?Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I'm new to databases but not to programming in general. I've got a few applications which currently sit on a single PC and read/update a particular XML file on the box. The applications are C# apps and use FileSystemWatchers and a mutex to keep watch for changes and update the XML file as needed. It has worked reasonable well for me.
Now, I need to run these applications on separate machines, so it seemed a good point to consider moving toward a database solution.
I'm hoping that there is a straightforward solution using SQL Server that will ensure that my applications alway have the current view of the world. I had run into instances with my existing setup where once in a while an application thought its DataSet was up to date, but wasn't.
Can someone point me in the right direction to implement the solution? I suspect that this is a really common need for lots of programs that are distributed. I'm still quite a newbie with databases and SQL Server, so I'm not even sure I'm using the right terms to describe things.
I have migrated sybase database to sql server it seems successfully migrated, we required to validate data and datatype before going to production, how can this be achieved, kind of stored procedure which can be run both sides (sybase and sql) and validated in some way.
Usually when in the process of migration, how to calculate how much time it will take to migrate the database. If a database full backup is taking approximately 3 hr how much time it will take to restore that database.
Which process is better to migrate the SQL server from 2008 to 2014.
Database migration wizard or restoring the db using backup file?
Usually if you are new to the sql server and you don't have any idea about the OS how can you find how much time it will take for migration for each database and for all databases
Hello there..... im currently running a mysql database and i want to switch to a mssql database structure... creating the database is not a issue, but inserting values is a problem...
my forum has a lot of data and moving one row at a time is near insanity....
Venkatesh writes "In MS-Access table a coulmn is specified as Auto number property. I want to migrate this table into SQL Server.
We can create a new column that has identity property in SQL Server 2000, which simulate autonumber property of MS-Access.
My access table contains 700 records and I need to set the column (ListID) as Auto number. i.e., I m going to modify this coulmn with identity property.
But I cant set the identity property for the existing column.
Can u pls send me the sql query that modify the existing column(ListId) with Identity property.
Is there any tool available to migrate the data from the SQL Server test database to SQL Server production database. Data Migration should be based on a condition which can be given as an input for a table by the user. The dependant tables also should be migrated based on the condition. i.e data subsetting based on the matching conditions.
Ex : Salary > 2000
The rows of the table which matches the condition alone need to be migrated for the corresponding table. Also its dependant table's rows should be migrated based on the given condition. Please help me with a tool which can automate this.
