I am trying to reproduce a problem that is probably related to how a particular SQL server is configured. Is there a tool or best practice that is useful to compare all of the configuration settings between two SQL Servers (same version)?

I need to compare Table 1 & 2 using SQL server and how can I achieve this?
Hello,I wish to see if the tables from database A server A1 exist in databaseA on server B1.I setup a linked server from my first server (robertcamarda) to atarget (cognos-dev)This works from robertcamarda:select count(*) from [cognos-dev].ds_v6_source.dbo.stdmasand this works:select * from ds_v6_source.information_schema.tables order bytable_namebut this wont work:select * from [cognos-dev].ds_v6_source.information_schema.tables orderby table_nameError:Msg 117, Level 15, State 1, Line 1The object name 'cognos-dev.ds_v6_source.dbo.information_schema.tables'contains more than the maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 3.I want to do something like:select * from ds_v6_source.information_schema.tableswhere table_name not in (select table_name from[cognos-dev].ds_v6_source.information_schema.tables order bytable_name)so I can see of the sql server (robertcamarda) has any missing tablesthat exist on the server (cognos-dev)TIARobSQL Server 2005 Enterprise

I have two table with the same name that reside in different databases. The two database have the same name, but reside in two linked servers
TABLE A: [ServerA].[ProdDB].dbo.[Orders]
TABLE B: [ServerB].[ProdDB].dbo.[Orders]
How do i find out if the two tables have the same number of columns or if the a column that exists on TableA does not exist on TableB.
Does any one have a script that could help me with this task. Thanks
I am using SQL Server 2005
Hi all,
I have two tables A and B on two both tables have similar architectures bout contain some deferent records.
I like to compare them and find and view the differences in records.
Thanks for any help.

I need to compare columns in tables on 1 database on one server versus the same on a 2nd server.
I'm looking for added columns in dbase 1.
Is there a system T-SQL script that can be used for this?
SMSS installed on my client forgets all the settings I entered under tools / options.maybe it has something to do with installation of system updates.
View 0 Replies View RelatedWe changed the IP addresses for several SQL Servers and we're a little confused by what we see in Configuration Manager. The TCP/IP properties "IP Addresses" tab still shows the old IP address, even after a restart. On "Protocol" tab, Listen All is set to "Yes".
We've found one source that says this setting causes the listening on an individual IP to be ignored.
I have a VM set up for offloading DBCC checks. Specs are below. I've read through this, but I'm not seeing the performance gains by enabling the trace flags and using the physical only switch.
Is the whole drawback that I'm on SATA storage? Is there a VM configuration with the CPU I can/should change? I've been playing with MAXDOP trying to see if I can get any benefits but I'm not seeing a much.

We have a new set up on VM to run an application running 24*7 (migrated from SQL server 2008R2) with below configs:
1. OS- Windows server 2012 Standard 64 bit hosted on Virtual Machine
2. Memory 16 GB and Cores =4 with 2.4GhZ processor
3. SQL server 2012 SP2 , 64 bit Standard edition.
4. Total size of databases as of now 15 GB with biggest being 5 GB.
How should i go around in setting the MAX and MIN server memory settings. I have this set up for many of SQL 2005 and 2008R2 servers, but for 2012 i heard that things has slightly changed.
How should i start analyzing and setting the right value of this MAX and MIN?
I am currently designing a SSIS package that will migrate data from Syabse to Sql server. If these packages are to be deployed to file system (as this is one time run for migrating data) or to SSIS catalog or to Sql server.
Also, I have not changed the default protection level value in packages during design time and would like to know if I have to change it while handling the deployment using DTutil (yes, i need to deploy & execute using command line utilities).
Please note that I do not have access to PROD, UAT environments and deployment team will use my BAT file that is expected to deploy and execute the packages.
I have one database with several tables in it (table 1, table2, table3). In each table is two colums (colum1 = a number (201220) and colum2 = a number (0.50). Now, both tables will have rows with the same data in colum 1, but colum two will have different numbers (different prices). My goal is to run a query that will compare both colums in all three tables, take the lower of the three based on colum 2 and spit out the row. Obviously, this would output all rows (around 175k). The point is to create a least cost spreadsheet (csv) file based on evaluating all three tables.

I need to compare these two databases and then update the new database with all data that is in the old one but not in the new database. Join the data in the two databases so to say. Both databases are from the same application so they use the same users, schema and so on.
I'm rewriting a huge FOR XML EXPLICIT procedure to use FOR XML PATH, and need to compare previous output to the refactored one, so i didn't mess up XML structure.
The thing is, i'm not sure that SQL Server will always generate exactly same xml **string**, so i'd rather not compare by:
WHERE CAST(@xml_old AS NVARCHAR(MAX)) = CAST(@xml_new AS NVARCHAR(MAX))
nor do i want to manually validate every node, since the generated xml-structure is quite complex.
compare xmls by their "semantic value" ?

Following an upgrade to SQL Server 2012, our shop's Schema Compare tool (Redgate SQL Compare) is no longer supporting our environment.We are starting to evaluate various 3rd party products to find a possible replacement, and would be interested in what products are favored by other IT shops who do a lot of database work.
Our shop is split about 75% SQL Server, 20% Oracle, and 5% I'll call other. Ideally a product would support SQL Server and Oracle, but our focus is on SQL server right now. On that platform we have ~50 servers spread across DevUATProd environments.In basic terms, we need a tool that can identify schema differences between DBs and generate synchronization scripts to support deploys between environments. Real-time synchronization is not a requirement (nor desirable), as deploys are a gated DBA function in our shop.
I am looking for a tool to compare the result sets.
Is there any free tool or Microsoft built in tool that we can use to compare the result sets. Suppose if I change one thing in code and needs to test the am I getting the same result set or not? Instead of doing manually is there any way to compare both result set.
i have two tables.
Table A

I want the result in table 3 like below, if value exists in Table A and not exists in Table B then the record should enter in table 3 with table name in new column, and vice versa.
Table C

Susan Table B
Marian Table B
using below logic to get the values from tables..
select
t1.columnA
, t2.*
from
table1 t1
join table2 t2 on t2.columnB = t1.columnA
using below script to compare two tables and get the values.
how to get the count of 'Table A' , 'Table B' , 'Table A & Table B' using below script.
Ex:
'Table A' -- 150
'Table B' -- 300
'Table A & Table B' -- 150
SELECT
Col1 = ISNULL(a.name,b.name),
Col2 =
CASE
WHEN ISNULL(a.name,'') = '' THEN 'Table B'
WHEN ISNULL(b.name,'') = '' THEN 'Table A'
ELSE 'Table A & Table B'
END

So now I need to query the table @t4 in and to determine the items that are assigned to category 'WHITE' in master category 1 and to 'CIRCLE' in master category 2.The important thing is to return items that are assigned solely to 'WHITE' in master cat 1 and solely to 'CIRCLE' in master cat 2.In the above example it would be only the ITEM 1 (id=10) that is returned:
1. ITEM 2 (id=11) is not returned because it has the assignment to category 'SQUARE' in master cat 2 additionally
2. ITEM 3 (id=12) is not returned because it has the assignment to category 'BLACK' in master cat 1 additionally
3. ITEM 4 (id=13) is not returned as it does not have assignment to category 'CIRCLE' in master cat 2 but only to 'WHITE' in master cat 1
3. ITEM 5 (id=14) is not returned as it does not have assignment to category 'WHITE' in master cat 1 but only to 'CIRCLE' in master cat 2
Is there a efficient way to compare two different columns of 2 different rows in a data set as shown below.
For eg: I would like to DateDiff between Date2 of RowID 1 and Date1 of RowID 2 of IDNo 123. After this comparision , if datediff between two dates are <=14 then i want to update 1 else 0 in IsDateDiffLess14 of RowID1 . In below example its 0 because datediff of two dates >=14. So, want to compare the Date2 and Date1 in this sequence for the same IDNo. For RowID 6 there is only 1 row and no other row to compare, in this case IsDateDiffLess14 should be updated with 0.
RowID IDNo Date1 Date2 IsDateDiffLess14
1 123 04/10/2013 04/12/2013 0
2 123 05/10/2013 05/11/2013 1
3 123 05/21/2013 05/25/2013 0
4 112 01/10/2013 01/14/2013 1
5 112 01/27/2013 01/28/2013 0
6 120 03/10/2013 03/12/2013 0

What I need to be able to find is any records where the Discontinue_Date is greater than the Effective_Date on the next row for a given Customer ID and Part_ID. This is a customer pricing table so the Discontinue_Date of row 53 for example should never be greater than the Effective_Date of row 54130, these are the records I'm looking to find. So I'm looking for a SELECT query that would look for any records where this is true. Obviously the last Discontinue_Date row for a Customer_ID will not have a next row so I wouldn't want to return that.

I read about Binary_checksum and hashbyte. Some people say hashbyte is better than binay_checksum as chances of collision are less.
But if we may consider following, chances exist in hashbyte too. My question is what is the best way to compare data to identify change (I can't configure CDC) ?

I am trying to write a function to compare the characters between 2 strings and eliminate the similarities to be able to return at the end the number of differences between them.
Having in mind i need the bigger number of differences to be returned also if a character is repeated in one of the 2 words it will be eliminated once because it exist only one time in other string.
I will give an example below to be more clear
--Start
declare @string1 as varchar(50)='imos'
declare @string2 as varchar(50)='nasos';
WITH n (n) AS (
SELECT 1 FROM (VALUES (1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1),(1)) n (n)
[Code] ....
The differences in first string from second one are 2 (i,m) while the differences in second string from first one are 3(nas).
So the function should return 3 in previous example.
I have 2 server PROD n DR server all the PROD server DB is synched to DR server through log shipping. Now to chk whether the DR server is working or not in case of any disaster we shut down the PROD server now all the app request is handled by DR server,it is working fine. For 1 week we work in DR server now its time to move back to PROD server so that all the 1 week data in DR server should be replicate back to PROD server. Log shipping is deleted once the DR Server is up. What r the options other than Backup? It is SQL 2012
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a database project where objects have been pulled in from the database using schema compare.
Unfortunately CDC tables which are referenced in stored procedures on the database have not been pulled in by the schema compare & hence I cannot build the project and deploy changes back to the database.
How to get these tables included in the project .
Say you have a table that has records with numbers sort of like lottery winning numbers, say:
TableWinners
num1, num2, num3, num4, num5, num6
33 52 47 23 17 28
... more records with similar structure.
Then you have another table with chosen numbers, same structure as above, TableGuesses.
How could you do the following comparisons between TableGuesses and TableWinners:
1. Compare a single record in TableGuesses to a single record in TableWinners to get a count of the number of numbers that match (kind of a typical lottery type of thing).
2. Compare a single record in TableGuessess to ALL records in TableWinners to see which record in TableWinners is the closest match to the selected record in TableGuesses.
I would like to know if it is possible to split a database across different servers, in the same manner you can split it over multiple drives on the same server We are trying to balance the load cause we are finding that the current server can't handle the load
