I know just enough about MS-SQL to be dangerous, so feel free to warn
me off this it's too much for a non-expert.
We are using SQL 2000 as the back-end for website. We would like to
create a duplicate of the database (on the same server). Then we'd use
them like this:
Database A: read-write DB accessed by web administrator
Database B: read-only 'live' DB accessed by the web server
The smarts: setting up a way to maintain Database A, have it be
accessible internally (maybe different IP, maybe different port) and
when a change is approved, have that change replicate to Database B to
be visible on the website.
I'm wondering if it's something I can do myself with the right
reading, or I'm going to have to hire some SQL know-how to help me
out.

I have a query that uses the PIVOT function and works fine in SQL 2012. I've been asked to move the query to a database that has the compatibility level set to 80(SQL 2000). I receive an "Incorrect syntax near" error when I try to excute the query on the SQL 2000 database. I would like to duplicate the exiting PIVOT functionality in SQL 2000.The existing query retrieves employee names and the order that the employee should be displayed from a table. The names will appear on the report according to the order that is retrieved from the database. Also, the users have requested that only 5 names appear on each row of the report. This is why the PIVOT function was needed. Below is an example of how the existing query works.
Table CREATE TABLE [dbo].[EmpGuest]( [Guest_ID] [int] NOT NULL, [Guest_Name] [varchar](80) NULL, [Display_Order] [int] NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
Hello Everyone I've created a report with a simple dataset that is similar to this
City , RequestID, Request Amount, ClaimID, ClaimAmount El Monte 791 52,982.00 2157 41,143.75 El Monte 3691 11,838.00 3140 8,231.14 El Monte 3691 11,838.00 3141 990.00 El Monte 3691 11,838.00 3142 2,615.00
So I group by City, RequestID. On the first group I specified the expression to be City and in the header I list the city and in the footer I list the sum of Request amount. On the second group I specified the group by Request so in the header I placed requestID and on the footer I placed Request Amount. I set request information to hide the duplicates and I even add =Sum(Fields!RequestApprovedGrandTotal.Value,"GroupByRequestID") the scope of the group. But this is what I get:
For requestID = 3691 for Request Amount is 35,514.00 not 11,838.00. All the claim sums are correct and they are located on the detail row.
I've read that a work around is to create multiple dataset but I honestly believe that something as simple as this should work on the reporting server 2000. So I've come to the conclusion that I must be doing something wrong. Can someone give me a hand on this. Thanks.
hello, i am creating a user login system. When people register for the site I need a way for sql to check weather or not their is a duplicate username already in the databse. Currently, I am going through the whole member profile table searching for a duplicate name. Is there a better way to do this?

hi all, How do i avoid duplicate records on my database? i have 4 textboxes that collect user information and this information is saved in the database. when a user fills the textboxes and clicks the submit button, i want to check through the database if the exact records exist in the database before the data is saved. if the user is registered on the database, he wont be allowed to login. how can i acheive this? i thought of using the comparevalidator but i'm not sure how to proceed. thanks
I've got a database called Webmine which is running with multi users.
I want to duplicate it to generate archive.
My problem is that I can't duplicate the MDF file (and the ldf file optionally) without detach the webmine db and reattach after the duplication.
Detach this database is a problem durring this processing of duplication because we can have users always working on Webmine. Is there a way to proceed without detach Webmine ? Or perhaps it's stupid or dangerous to duplicate a DB if users are always working (that's my position but here, everybody does not agree with this position so can anybody certify I've got or not reason ?
Instead of me testing my scripts on my main commerce database I was wondering if there was an easy way to duplicate my most currnet database as another database...
that way if I screw up I can just delete it and try again
I looked at the restore as in enterpirse manager, but I don't think thats it
I have built a template database which I'm finally pleased with, however I want to periodically duplicate the design - not data into a new database. How can I duplicate a database? I was hoping to right mouse, copy, then right mouse, paste, and then be prompted for the new name but no such luck.
i have duplicate records, but they have unique ids.
the duplicates resulted as a result of using a view to enter the data using BCP to load data from text file that had many dulicate records as part of consolidting the data i would like to get rid of the duplicate
is there some way of checking if the Name, Address, Telephone and Image are the same as on a record with another then remove them.
I am using the Import/Export wizard to import data from an ODBC data source. This can only be done from a query to specify the data to transfer.
When I try to create the tables, for the query, I am getting the following error:
Msg 2714, Level 16, State 4, Line 12
There is already an object named 'UserID' in the database.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 12
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
I have duplicated this error with the following script:
USE [testing]
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users1]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users2]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users3]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
I have searched the "2714 duplicate error msg," but have found references to duplicate table names, rather than multiple field names or column name duplicate errors, within a database.
I think that the schema is only allowing a single UserID primary key.
Hi I have created a simple application base on the video based on the 'SQL Server 2005 Express for Beginners' video No. 8.It is working great but I would like to add another feature; if an emial address (in my case userName) is entered that already exists in the database I would like to display an message say you have already subscrided.How do I search the database for a duplicate email address? Please keep it simple I am still finding my feet with aspx and c#.Cheers protected void Wizard1_FinishButtonClick(object sender, WizardNavigationEventArgs e) { SqlDataSource profilesDataSource = new SqlDataSource();
if (rowsAffected != 1) { // Report a problem Server.Transfer("submit_problem.htm"); } else { // Everything was OK Server.Transfer("submit_success.aspx"); } }
Hi all.. I've been scouring the forums for about 6 hours to no avail. This is a really simple question. I'm trying to have a registration page that lets the user input name, email, desired username, and password. I want to check the username and email fields to make sure ppl cannot sign up twice. So from what I've gathered I have a couple of options:
1) i can set up a unique constraint on the database columns, 2) i can run a select statement before inserting, 3) i can store the whole database column in a variable then search through it.
My question is how to do option 2? All of my transactions are through a sqldatasource object in c#.
Our programs have and would like to continue keep the same data in multiple database. Example phone numbers. Us DBAs are tring to convince them not to.
Other than keeping the data current, what avantages are there to keep data in one location for multiple application to access.
I want to transfer a database from one MS SQL Server 7.0 to another. When I create a new database (SQL Server 7.0) and then try to load a backup, I always end up with a message that the backup database is not identical with the destination database. That is correct and I know it, so what!? Is there any other possibility to transfer a database other than Export/Import. Using this method took me about 48 hours for 6 GByte database!
Question as stated title above, how do I duplicate the table structure to another database whether it copies all columns, primary and foreign keys, default values, descriptions, constraints, indexes

I have a form view that I am using to insert new data into a sql express database and would like to find a way to avoid attempting to insert a record if the key already exists. is there a way to do this with the formview insert command. Everything works great until I try to add a record with an already existing value in the unique key field, then it breaks.
How can I delete duplicate entries from tables in my database using Query Analyzer, as there are many duplicate entries in my tables, I want to delete them.
I've begun to get the above error from my package. The error message refers to two output columns.
Anyone know how this could happen from within the Visual Studio 2005 UI? I've seen the other posts on this subject, and they all seemed to be creating the packages in code.
Is there any way to see all of the columns in the data flow? Or is there any other way to find out which columns it's referring to? Thanks!
I am working on a project that was written in Visual Studio 2003 using asp.net and C#. The project accesses a SQL Server 2000 database. I need to test the application. What I want to do is to copy the database over to a test server. The problem is that the test server only has SQL Server 2005 on it. Would it be a problem if I backed up the database using SQL Server 2000 and then recreated it on the server as a SQL server 2005 project? Would my source code accept the new database even though it would now be in sql server 2005?
Hi all,Here is my situation.I have an application that uses SQL 2000. The client has a programthat uses MSDE. The client MUST have the MSDE version of the Database.What I have done is to create a SQL 2000 Database that is exactly likethe MSDE version. What I wish to do, is at regularly scheduledintervals, update the SQL 2000 Data with the newest MSDE Data.On my clients server, they have both MSDE and SQL 2000 installedthe msde has a user name and password to access it, whereas the SQL2000 uses authenticated mode to access it.What I'm trying to do is to write a bunch of SQL Queries, that I canrun that will copy over the new Data, but I'm having problems accessingthe msde database in query analyzer from the SQL DatabaseCan anyone give me hints on the best way to try thisThanksScott
I have used backup and restore method to upgrage 2000 databases to 2005 database. What do i need to do in order to for my application or users to use databse in 2005 and remove 2000
i have sql 2005 installed on my personal machine, but our server has sql 2000 on it. the structure of my database was made on the server, but i'm not sure how to update the server copy from my local copy. when i try to export my data from my local machine to the server (or import from my local machine to the server), i get pre-execute errors.
roughly every other week, i'll need to be able to update the server version from my local version, so i'm trying to find the most efficient method. what is the best way to update a 2000 database from a 2005 database? it doesn't matter if i append or overwrite, but i do use identity fields. the error i get when trying to use the import/export wizard is:
- Pre-execute (Error)

Yesterday I received a response to my CI/CS Collation problem and therecommendation was to try and restore a CI Collation database to a CSCollation database. After creating a blank CS database a full restore(Force restore over existing database) does change the Collation toCI. I'm unsure as to how I can restore without changing theCollation. Any suggestions?
There are two sql servers with the same database in different locations with replication running on them. Users in the two locations insert or update date on there own database through an ms access application . The data are replicated to both servers. Someone wanted a copy of the database and they dropped replication, but users continue to modify and add data on both servers and so replication could not be back again without merging the two databases as one again and restarting replication. My job was to merge the databases and make replication work and after allot of work all is fine. I copy and attached the database on my pc that I set up as a server and did the job. Then I went back on both servers that had replication running before I attached the database and set the subscriber and publisher and all was fine to that point. The database has six groups with permissions on them and many database users on each location. Both the groups and the users show on the database. I create a new login and user and I add him to the groups to get the permissions. Now back on a user pc I login with the new user name run the ms access application and try to add some new records, but I get errors that I cannot insert null values to two of the fields in several tables in the database. This was not happening before and the database was recording the values in those fields namely the user name and the date that the new record was created. After some reading I found out that I might need to set the groups and permissions on the views and tables from the beging but Im not an expert. Any ideas? Thanks allot George
