Running Create Scripts For Database, Tables And Procedures
Jul 7, 2005
Hi there,I am trying to create a Sql Server 2005 Express database by running Sql Scripts. I have a script that has CREATE statements for tables and procedures. What I'd like it to do is create a new database with a name and a file location I specify.I searched high and low, tried lots of options with the SqlCmd tool but I keep getting authentication or other errors.Is this even possible? If so, does someone know of a good reference? I know I can create a new database and tables from within VWD but I need to create this database based on a .sql file....Thanks in advance....Imar
I'm trying to write a procedure that having created a new database,will then create within that new database all the tables andprocedures that go with it.In doing this I'm hitting the problem that you can't issue a USEcommand within a procedure.So my question is either- how do I get around this?- if I can't, how can I create procedures etc in a *different*(i.e. the newly created) databaseor- is there a better way to do all this (*)I have SQL files that do this currently, but I need to edit in thename of the database each time before execution, so I thought aprocedure would be better. Also I'd like eventually to expose someof this functionality via a web interface.Although I'm a newbie, I feel I'm diving in the deep end. Any goodpointers to all the issues involved in this aspect of databasemanagement would be appreciated.(*) One thought that occurs to me is to have a "template" database,and to then somehow copy all procedures, tables, view etc from that.--HTML-to-text and markup removal with Detaggerhttp://www.jafsoft.com/detagger/
I have a website I'm ready to test on the server it will call home. I just got connected to the remote SQL server that it will be using. As I've been creating the site, I've been using the default SQL Express set-up in Visual Studio. Is there a way to have Visual Studio create all those default tables, procedures, etc. OR is there a way to copy all of that stuff from the SQL Express running on my machine to the remote SQL Server 2005? -Mathminded

i want to copy some tables from 1 database to another with its data & procedures etc to another database in Microsoft SQL 2005. can any one help plz reply tnx alot
I'm attempting to use SQL statement to create tables within a new database, and I'm somewhat lacking in experience for this. Normally I'd simply create them through the GUI, but I want to get the hang of DDL statements.
I have written what I think are scripts to create one table with a primary key, create a unique index on it, and then create another table with a primary key and constrain two columns in the second table to the non-primary unique index in the first.

Hi All, 1st of all happy New Year to all asp.net forum members I am new at asp.net. I want to design a website using asp.net as frontend and sql database as backend. I am able to connect and add,update as well delete records when I use MsAcess and Asp.net using the following connection strings... ********** sub Page_Load dim dbconn,sql,dbcomm,dbread dbconn=New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;data source=" & server.mappath("/database/northwind.mdb")) dbconn.Open() sql="SELECT * FROM customers where city LIKE 'Berlin' order by city ASC" dbcomm=New OleDbCommand(sql,dbconn) dbread=dbcomm.ExecuteReader() customers.DataSource=dbread customers.DataBind() dbread.Close() dbconn.Close() end sub **********
But when I try to connect to sql database using the following connection strings I am unable to do so...
************** SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection("server=PLATINUMVSdotNET;database=pubs;Trusted_Connection=yes"); SqlDataAdapter myCommand = new SqlDataAdapter(" * from Authors", myConnection);
DataSet ds = new DataSet(); myCommand.Fill(ds, "Authors");
************** I have written the servername as "PLATINUMVSdotNET" because when I installed SQL SERVER 2000 I found a tray icon where the server name was displaying the same (my computer name is PLATINUM). When I used webmatrix I enterd the same server name and windows authentication I was able to create a database but How to create table...
I am trying to create multiple tables in a database using a SQL Script. First i want to find all the tables that have an Identity Column as a primary key in the database. Then for all the tables that meet the Identity Column and primary key criteria, I want to create a New Table.
For example if the Orders table has a Identity Column as a primary key, I want to Create a New Table called ProdID_Orders. The ProdID_Orders will have 1 column called ProdID.
If the OrdersDetails table has a Identity Column as a primary key, I want to Create a New Table called ProdID_OrdersDetails. The ProdID_OrdersDetails will have 1 column called ProdID.
If the Employee table has a Identity Column as a primary key, I want to Create a New Table called ProdID_Employee. The ProdID_Employee will have 1 column called ProdID.
so the Create Table Statement for the ProdID_Orders will look like this:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ProdID_Orders](
[ProdID] [int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
The Create Table Statement for the ProdID_OrdersDetails will look like this:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ProdID_OrdersDetails](
[ProdID] [int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
This sequence will continue for all the tables in the database that have an Identity Column as a primary key. Thanks. I will appreciate some assistance with this.

I want my application to create a new database/tables when run for thefirst time. I have created a stored procedure to create the newdatabase named "budget". When I run the stored procedure, it createsthe budget database but the tables are created in the "master"database. Please help.
I am using ADOX to create linked tables in a jet database from an ODBC datasource. The tables in the ODBC data source does not have a primary key. so I am only able to create read only linked tables.But I want to update the records also. I tried adding a primary key column to the linked table while creating the link. but I am getting an error while adding the table to the catalog.
The error message is "Invalid Argument".
I use the following code for creating the linked table
Sub CreateLinkedTable(ByVal strTargetDB As String, ByVal strProviderString As String, ByVal strSourceTbl As String, ByVal strLinkTblName As String)
Dim catDB As ADOX.Catalog Dim tblLink As ADOX._Table
' Name the new Table and set its ParentCatalog property ' to the open Catalog to allow access to the Properties ' collection. .Name = strLinkTblName .ParentCatalog = catDB
' Set the properties to create the link. Dim adoxPro As ADOX.Property
How do I search for and print all stored procedure names in a particular database? I can use the following query to search and print out all table names in a database. I just need to figure out how to modify the code below to search for stored procedure names. Can anyone help me out?

We are using SQL Server 2014 and SSDT-BI 2013. We have a reporting environment where business users create objects which need to be persisted for fiscal year reporting. Let's say for instance SQLSERVER1SRVR1 they create table objects like below in the reporting environment.
Accounting2014, Accounting2015 in AccountingDB; Sales2014, Sales2015 in SalesDB; Products2014, Products2015 in ProductsDB; Inventory2014, Inventory2015 in InventoryDB etc....
These tables are persisted for auditing in a different environment SQLSERVER2SRVR2 for finance & audit folks.We would want to automate this process using SSIS to create tables in corresponding database and load data. I tried using For Each Loop container but the catch is I could loop the source or destination but how do we loop on Source & Destination at the same time (i.e when source is in AccountingDB destination to be AccountingDB, source SalesDB then destination SalesDB so on etc....
trying to get a new database created then running a script to created the tables, relationships, indexes and insert default data. All this I'm making happen during the installation of my Windows application. I'm installing SQL 2012 Express as a prerequisite of my application and then opening a connection to that installed SQL Server using Windows Authentication.
E.g.: Data Source=ComputerNameSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=SSPI; Then I run a query from my code to create the database eg: "CREATE DATABASE [MyDatabaseName]".
From this point I run a script using a Batch file containing "SQLCMD....... Myscriptname.sql". In my script I have my tables being created using "Use [MyDatabaseName] Go CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTableName] .....". So question is, should I have [dbo]. as part of my Create Table T-SQL commands? Can I remove "[dbo]."? Who would be the owner of the database? If I can remove the [dbo]., should I also remove dbo. from any query string from within my code?
I need to run stored procedures which are currently run on server A(located in another city),by connecting myself to it through my laptop running on SQL server 7.0(only client components installed)on NT workstaion4.0. Can anyone tell all the steps involved to run those stored procedures everyday.Even I need to monitor Server A from my laptop.Please advice...Urgent!!
I have two similar stored procedures which I'm running. One runs andone doesn't. I can run both with no problems in SQL Enterprise (7.0standard) and have checked the permissions and am happy with them.Whilst the statements in each sp are different, I'm calling them inexactly the same way (using Delphi 5 Windows 2000). I don't get anytrappable errors.I ran a trace on what was happening and I get two different set ofresults.

In my environment, there is maintenance plan configured on one of the server and while running DBCC checkdb on a database of size around 200GB, log file usage of tempdb is increasing and causing the maintenance job to fail.
What can I do to make the maintenance job run successfully, size of the tempdb database is only 50GB and recovery model is set to simple. It cannot be increased as the mount point on which it is residing is 50GB.
Hi, Can someone help me with this problem. I have a stored procedure in SQL Server that updates a particular table. When I run it in SQL server Query Analyser, it works fine. But I want to invoke this stored procedure when I click a button on an MS Access Form. The code I'm using is:
Dim cn, cmd Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") cn.Open "SQL" //Data Source Name Set cmd = CreateObject("ADODB.Command") Set cmd.ActiveConnection = cn cmd.CommandText = "LoadApplicants" //Stored Procedure Name cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc cmd.Execute
for some reason only a few records are updated everytime I click on the button. Is there any reason why this is happening?
Hi there,I have a data manipulation process written in a Nested Stored procedurethat have four levels deeper. When I run these individual proceduresindividually they all seems to be fine. Where as when I run them alltogether as Nested proces (calling one in another as sub-procedures) Logfile is growing pretty bad like 25 to 30GB.. and finally getting kickedafter running disk space. This process is running around 3hrs on a SQLserever Standard Box having dual processer and 2gb ram.This procedures have bunch of bulk updates and at least one cursor ineacch procedure that gets looped through.I was wondering if anybody experienced this situation or have any clueas to why is this happening and how to resolve this?I am in a pretty bad shape to deliver this product and in need of urgenthelp.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated..Thanks in advance*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
Hi allI am looking for the best method to automate a website's database management. Lets say I have a user registration database and the users register. This sends an automated email to the user with a link to activate the users registration. If the user does not register within 24 hours, his registration must be automatically deleted from the database using a stored procedure.I know how to do this using the global.aspx file, however there must be an alternative way of doing this, especially if the database is an SQL database. I do not know how much MSSQL server access is given to a developer by an as ISP who hosts the website.Can anyone tell me what would be the best method to use.ThxWarren
Developers have complained that some of their jobs are taking too long to run. I used Profiler to trace one really bad performer and could see that the code was making one pass through its loop in about 7 seconds. I found one select statement that was using the majority of the time, plugged it into query analyzer and looked at the execution plan. It was using an index but not very efficiently. I then ran it through index analysis and it recommended a new index. This was cool! The new index helped.
But, the job continued to run very, very slowly - over a week before it died! I ran another trace, and it was hanging for 10+ seconds in random locations. Sometimes it would be on a database call, sometimes it would be on a simple SET @variable = value statement. There was no pattern. According to the sys admin, the server itself did not look taxed. It does not appear to be a locking problem because of the random location of the stall. The application and server are only lightly used at this point, so I would hate to see how bad it could be if it was busy.
I am still fairly new to SQL, though I have years of DBA experience. I would appreciate any ideas - especially the obvious things that I am probably not considering. I have logged a call with Microsoft but they haven't gotten back with an answer. I sent them a trace file and a perfmon file, neither of which showed them anything.
I have a strange situation when I try to execute the same Stored Procedure on servers with different processors. Both servers are running the SQL SERVER 2008 R2 version with all updates.
All updates bios, disk controller, firmware, were applied on the new server.
New Server: (considerable difference in processing time) Stored Procedure without encryption, runs at about 02:16hs Stored Procedure with encryption, runs at about 08:00hs
Server Processor:
Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU @ 2.60GHz E5-2697 v3
Old Server: (There Are No difference in processing time) Stored Procedure without encryption, runs at about 01:00hs Stored Procedure with encryption, runs at about 01:00hs
Server Processor: Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU @ 2.7GHz E5-2697 V2
In terms of configuration, the server 2, have lower technology, lower bus, lower number of processors.
I believe that combination of Hardware/SO/Sql Server has a potential performance loss when running encrypted SP.
I found that when I install MSDE, then I can create/edit database objects for MSDE database in Visual Studio 2003 Server Explorer, but when I try to create/edit database objects under the default database created by the SQL Server 2000 installation, I cannot do these tasks as no option for these tasks appear when I right-click on the database object in Server Explorer. Anyone knows why this is happening?

Greetings All, I was hoping that someone out there has seen a problemsimilar to the one I am seeing. I have one file with several "createfunction" statements in it. When I try to run it through C# I geterrors because it does not like the "GO" statements.Second, when I break them up into individual files and then call themfrom C# and try to execute them I get funky results if there is avariable in an update statement. C# gets back to me that the variablemust be declared?TFD
I am studying VC++6 and am involved in a database learning project. I installed a SQL 7 server on this W2K Pro machine a long time ago and applied SP4 to the server. The instructions are to create a stored procedure by right-click on the Stored Procedures folder icon in the Data View and selecting New Stored Procedure. There is no New Stored Procedure option displayed when I do this (Docking View, Hide, Properties). What must I do to get to ability to create a stored procedure. The sample database being used is the Pubs database.
I am about to replace a SQL Server which is replicated to about 25 computers. The replacement PC (and SQL Server) will have the same name. I intend to generate a Create Replication Script before shutting down the old PC and to run it on the new one.
Should I also create and use a Remove Replication script and run it on the old PC before shutting it down? I am thinking that I might need to do this to remove Replication infromation from the subcribers before running the Create script.
In other words, is it OK (or not OK) to run the Create script with the subcribers already in existence? Is there possibly a way to run the Create script on the sever and skip updating of the subcribers?
