I have this task, I have to copy from one database into a remote all record which contain a specific value into a specific column. (the remote Db destination tables are already created)
I have already identified all tables to copy (about 3000 with 60Milions of records), now how to implement the most performing way to copy records.
If most performing, the destination database can be placed on the source Sql instance, I can move the database on the destination instance after I have copied all records.
Looking for what others have done to keep a copy of a database, for read only, on another instance. Need to do this once a day early in the morning with no, or minimal, downtime at the source and target. We have applications that access this copy 24/7, so prefer not to disconnect active users, as a detach/attach or backup/restore might do. Permissions are different on each instance, so would prefer not to overlay users on destination database. Options we are looking at right now are...
Log Shipping Snapshot Replication Transfer SQL Objects Task (SSIS)
Our environment for this is SQL 2012 on Windows 2012, in the same AD domain located in the same server room. The database size is 1gb. Needs to be copied around 6:30am daily. Does not need to be updated thru the day.
I need to copy data from warehouse tables to master tables of different SQL instances. Refresh need to done once in an hour. What is the best way to do this? SQL agent jobs or SSIS packages?
Hi all, I have read/studied (i) Working with Databases in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express in http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/data/vwd.aspx, (ii) Xcopy Deployment (SQL Server Express) in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165716.aspx, (iii) User Instances for Non-Administrators in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143684.aspx, and (iv) Embedding SQL Server Server Express in Applications in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165660.aspx. I do not understand the concepts and procedures to do Xcopy and User Instances for non-administrators completely-I do not know how to connect to databases and create database diagrams or schemas using the Database Explorer. I have a stand-alone Windows XP Pro PC. I have created a ChemDatabase with 3 dbo tables in the SQL Server Management Studio of my SQL Server Express and a website of my VWD Express application with an App_Data folder. I am not able to proceed to use Xcopy and user instance to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase to my App_Data folder. Please help and give me some detailed procedures/instructions to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase (or ChemDatabase itself) from the SQL Server Management Studio Express to the App_Data folder of the website of my VWD Express project? Thanks in advance, Scott Chang
I have a 3 node cluster on which I have installed SSAS as it's own insntance. I have created this as a named instance and can connect to it by serverinstance if I'm on the server itself. However from my desktop I get the error saying instance was not found on server name.
I have defined an alternate port and setup firewall rules and can connect via server:port but not serverinstance. Prior to making this change SSAS was running on default port of 2383 and I could connect just by servername.
I have read many articles for previous versions saying that clustered SSAS will always use 2383 and that you must connect just using servername. However and this is were it gets strange. I have a 2 node UAT cluster with SSAS setup exactly the same way I've described above and I can connect from my desktop as serverinstance.
Should I be able to connect as serverinstances for a named clustered instance in 2012 ?
I need to get up on my computer with MSSQL Server 2005 SP2 an exact copy of running MS SQL Server 2005 SP1 instance (with system objs, accounts, etc.).
In the same LAN.
Well, not exact one but the one as close as possible...
And what exactly may I mimick without interfering to existing SS2005 in production?
What is the best way to do it without invoking excessive (manual) work and problems?
I see dozens of ways and I am still in doubt... No ideal or straight-forward solution
I have a table that I am basically reduplicating a couple of times for each part of this database that I want to create.Each table basically has the same data: The tables will be called motherTable, fatherTable, sonTable, daughterTable and so on.I am pretty much using the following in each column: UserID, MotherID(or FatherID or SonID, etc., etc. and so on for each unique table), FirstName, LastName, MiddleName, BirthPlace, Photo, Age.I don't see an option to copy a table and just modify the second ID part and rename that table accordingly.How can I make this an easier way of creating these similar tables without retyping all these columns over and over again?Thanks in advance.
We have an active/active two-node QA cluster with four instances of sql. I need to add a fifth. In the past I always moved existing instances to the other node while installing a new instance.
Other than impacts to users from install reboots, is that a hard requirement?
QA is reluctant to have me put the four existing instances on one node for most of a day, fearing big performance slowdowns. Each node has 250GB of memory and each instance is allowed 50GB. Netapp disk backend.
I want to install SP2 for SQL 2012, but I am not sure how my instance would be affected.
I want to know if the instance will go down for any amount of time during the update? I can schedule a server reboot after hours, but don't want to apply the service pack if it will take the instance offline at any point.
Scenario: a stored procedure is executed in database ABC. The procedure includes a MERGE statement with objects in the ABC and DEF databases. A Windows login is executing the procedure. Contained users is not enabled anywhere on the instance. And the user is not orphaned in either database, i.e. the login is associated to the user correctly by-sid in each one.
Of course, the Windows login must be authenticated to access database ABC, and authorized to execute the procedure. That is happening. Most of the time, so is the MERGE statement. But every once in a while we're seeing an odd "Network error code 0x2746 occurred while establishing a connection" message. The procedure has a TRY/CATCH retry loop around the MERGE statement, so it enters that loop. Re-read: the procedure is still running, the network error wasn't about the client connection executing the procedure. So what was it about?
Does that MERGE statement, accessing database DEF, require SQL to authenticate the Windows login again, because it's a different database (even though it's on the same instance, and was already authenticated for ABC)? There shouldn't be any other network activity involved in that phase of the execution. Plus, when the process had been using a SQL Server-authenticated login, this never happened.
But before I go blaming our DCs or network... I need to know, are they in fact involved here, or not? I believe they are, but... never had to care enough before to really know. I'm trying to stave off the "let's switch it back to a SQL login" demand that's sure to come soon, if I can't find an appropriate resolution to this.
hi how to get list of all tables that exist in my sql server instance ? i'm using this scrpit : select * from sys.tables but this command return only tables that exist in Current Database. thanks
I am using the following select statement to get the row count from SQL linked server table.
SELECT Count(*) FROM OPENQUERY (CMSPROD, 'Select * From MHDLIB.MHSERV0P')
MHDLIB is the library name in IBM DB2 database. The above query gives me only the row count of table MHSERV0P. However, I need to get the names, rowcounts, and sizes of all tables that exist in MHDLIB librray. Is it possible at all?
From what I understand, one SQL Server 2012 instance can host multiple availability groups. That should allow, for example, the following situation - one SQL Server 2012 instance containing three primary replica databases - each one part of a different availability group - and each availability group's secondary replica located on a separate SQL Server 2012 instance.
Can you have three SQL Server 2012 instances, each with one primary replica database and have all three secondary replica databases on one SQL Server 2012 instance? So instead of, as above, going from 1 primary server to 3 secondary servers, this time we're going from 3 primary servers to 1 secondary server? The one secondary server would then contain all three secondary replicas for each of the 3 separate primary replicas.
This would mean that the single server (where all three secondary replicas reside) was part of three separate Windows Server Failover Clustering clusters.
Scenerio : To keep a very large system running optimally in a VM cluster, Take PR01 and make PR02, PR03, PR04. Distribute the 45 databases and 9T+ of disk across multiple VM guest.
Each PR## is a SQL Server 2012 Enterprise guest on a VM 5.1 cluster.
So instead of PR01 needed 16 core and 128g of memory, each one will have 4 core and 32g of memory. Making VM HA more manageable. (yes, DRS rules will apply). Also provides more HBA paths and distributes i/o over more physical disk on the SAN.
Instead of a connection string having to know PR01.dbo.UserDB01, PR02.dbo.UserDB03, ect the connection would be PRDB.dbo.UserDB01. That way if needed 1) UserDB can be moved to any of the PR## 2) new PR05, PR06 can be added as needed. The end user and processes are not allowed to touch system databases, no PR## will have a user DB called the same name.
There are seperate VM guests on other VM clusters and Citrix servers that need access to PRDB. As things expand and move around, none of the connection strings need to be changed.
I am looking into RadWare and modifing level 7 information, but that is iffy and $$$$$$.
Considering trying to move 2008 acitve/passive cluster with log ship to day old read only 2008 server to 2012 active/passive to 2012 AG Read only server. Only problem is that read only instance may have to be a 2nd instance on a server. The new box is a beast 64 core 256 gig of RAM hp so this is no dog. So I have these choices
migrate 2008 active/passive cluster to 2012 active passive (this will be it's own ordeal)take new monster box and build two instances, one that will run the AG read only database, the other will house reporitng services and analysis services and a few dw databases. We are not heavy into deep dive analysis services yet kind of in it's infancy. Not sure if this other instance will be sql 2008R2 , may be able to do 2012. MY also have a few small sharepoint databases but they barely use it.
Currently we have an AlwaysOn AG set up with a listener running on port 1433 (underlying instances are on a non default port). Great, no problems there.If we set up a second AG on the same instance with its own specific listener, can this new listener also be configured to use port 1433?
I have done a fresh sql 2012 standalone installation but the instance services are not getting reflected in SQL server configuration manager
Although I can find the instance details in services.msc and also in n/w configuration of configuration manager but in the sql services tab of config manager , it is not showing .
The hide instance is unchecked when I check the protocol properties.
I have two databases and want to copy tables (with table data) and stored procedures from one database to another.both databases have the same name (so management studio is not letting me have both up)....what should I do?thanks.
What is the easiest way for me to copy my database tables so that I could use the copy as a template to work on for setting primary keys, and normalizing the data?
A question from a beginner. Is there a simple command to create a copy of at table with its original attributes. I would like to take a table for a year and copy it to an archive file with the year appended to the name, i.e. myfile copied to myfile02
Hi I have a DB2 database server.It has 2000+ tables...And I have a MS SQL database server.It has got the same tables.With same schema... I want to take all of that tables datas to MS Sql database's tables.... I try to use DTS Import Data Wİzard but it gace an erro which is Unknown Error!!!
Now; I try to make a DTS which is capable with doing this mission... I want to create one DTC package and the source table and destination table names will be changed dynamically...Probably i should use ActiveX Task or Dynamic PropertTask... Despite i have searched from net very much i couldnt find any helpfull article or sample for 3 days...I have also checked this one; http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?246
But it hasnt helped me too..
I really wish thatsomebody can help me... Thank u all
I want to copy from DB certain tables to an other DB. How can I do that with SQL Server 2005. I would prefer an SQL string solution instead of buttonclicking solution.
I have a problem in that a database I have created required splitting into three databases. The records were similar but reporting and maintenance differed enough that splitting the data seemed the best option. So now I have three databases that are needing to be updated from one file and I am not sure how to do that. See the illustration below. The Machine table is a one to many to the Job table, the Job table is a one to one with the Run Data.
The first idea was to query the first database if the record was not found go to the next. If no match was found in any table drop it in a reject bucket. Then what about perhaps a lookup table with starting and ending Job ranges. I would query it to find the correct database then do another query to update the record. But then I could have some type of joining table. Not sure how that would look across databases.
The tables I am updating or adding new records to has the same fields, unique key across all the databases. I could make one big table which gets rid of the query to find the correct database to update but I still would have to connect this back to the Job table which brings me back to a join table or index table.
We are using 208r2. We used to generate simple reports against to prod. The production is running slow. Just we need the production fresh copy all the time. We are using mainly one database. So I need to have read only copy of that particular database which is sync with the production.
I just completed a copy-Only compressed backup of a DB (with a FULL Recovery Model ) on SQL Server 2012 and the resulting backup (the bak file) is 1/100th the size of the data & log file. Is the compression in SQL Server 2012 just that good or did something else happen that I did not catch? Below is the T-SQL to re-create the backup. The size of the data file is 750MB and the log file is 75GB and is %95 used according to the SQLPERF command.
Does the compression in SQL Server 2012 simply that good
BACKUP DATABASE [MYBIGOLEDB] TO DISK = N'Z:Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL11.MSSQLSERVERMSSQLBackupMYBIGOLEDB_20150611.bak' WITH COPY_ONLY, NOFORMAT, INIT, NAME = N'MYBIGOLEDB-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, COMPRESSION, STATS = 10 GO
