Is there any way to compare two similar databases (A & B) stored procedure. I have to find stored procedure in second database B with respect to the difference.
View 7 RepliesA customer has messed up while moving their databases. After working for a week they found that data is missing in the database.I have two backups, one from the old server and one from the new server today, they have been working in the new one for a week.
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.
Hi:
Well, I am venturing into new territory for me. I'm very illiterate when it comes to SQL Server and so I need assistance. I have the beginnings of my stored procedure, which is supposed to compare two dates/times and If they are not equal I need to kick off a DTS Package.
So, here's what I have so far (it returns two dates like I would expect):
CREATE PROCEDURE usrCompareDataDownload
AS
BEGIN
SELECT MAX(ASP_ZZ_CHNG_TMST) FROM tbl_MaterialWeeklyData;
SELECT MAX(ZZ_CHNG_TMST) FROM TV_ASP_DPUL_WKLY;
END
GO
Thanks,

Hi,
Can i compare date = null in stored procedure? Does this work? The syntax works but it never get into my if else statement? The weird thing here is it has been working and just this morning, it stopped. I don't know why? Could you please help? Thanks,
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
go
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[UpdateActiveStates1]
@PROVIDERID INT
AS
DECLARE @STARTDATE DATETIME
DECLARE @ENDDATE DATETIME
DECLARE @ACTIVE BIT
SET @ACTIVE = 0
SET @STARTDATE = (SELECT ProhibitionStartDate FROM Providers WHERE ProviderID=@PROVIDERID)
SET @ENDDATE = (SELECT ProhibitionEndDate FROM Providers WHERE ProviderID=@PROVIDERID)
IF ((@STARTDATE = NULL OR @STARTDATE = '1753-01-01') AND (@ENDDATE = NULL OR @ENDDATE = '1753-01-01'))
BEGIN
PRINT 'Setting Inactive due to NULL Start Date and NULL End Date'
SET @ACTIVE=0
END
ELSE IF (@STARTDATE != NULL AND @STARTDATE <= GETDATE())
BEGIN
IF (@ENDDATE = NULL)
BEGIN
PRINT 'Setting Active due to NON-NULL Start Date and NULL End Date'
SET @ACTIVE=1
END
ELSE IF (@ENDDATE >= GETDATE())
BEGIN
PRINT 'Setting Active due to NON-NULL Start Date and NON-EXPIRED End Date'
SET @ACTIVE=1
END
ELSE
BEGIN
PRINT 'Setting Inactive due to NON-NULL Start Date and EXPIRED End Date'
SET @ACTIVE=0
END
END
UPDATE Providers SET Active=@ACTIVE
WHERE ProviderID=@PROVIDERID
UPDATE Actions SET Active=@ACTIVE WHERE ProviderID=@PROVIDERID

PS: I'm a beguinner in this so I apologize if the question seems stupid, or wrong.
I have large stored procedures in SQL Server 2005 that often get updated. Sometimes it is very difficult to recognize how one change could impact the overall results. I would like to have some sample input that I could test during changes and see it compare the data results before & after my changes. This would help me quickly identify if the results are fine to pass through.
So basically I would like an easy way to compare the results of 2 stored procedures. Any suggestions or utilites that would help me do this?
I have a scenario where I need to compare a single DateTime field in a stored procedure against multiple values passed into the proc.So I was thinking I could pass in the DateTime values into the stored procedure with a User Defined Table type ... and then in the stored procedure I would need to run through that table of values and compare against the CreatedWhenUTC value.I could have the following queries for example:
WHERE CreatedWhenUTC <= dateValue1 OR CreatedWhenUTC <= dateValue2 OR CreatedWhenUTC <= dateValue 3
The <= is determined by another operator param passed in. So the query could also be:
WHERE CreatedWhenUTC > dateValue1 OR CreatedWhenUTC > dateValue2 OR CreateWhenUTC > dateValue3 OR CreateWhenUTC > dateValue4

Hi Guys
I have 4 databases in the same space.My users use all of them and use the same username and password to log into these 4 databases.In each of these databases,i have put a control table to allow me to keep track of all users that have to reset their passwords.
The control table consists of the username and flag fields.When the flag is ON(1) the user is forced to reset thier password and if the flag is OFF(0) they are not.
When a user logs into any one of these databases and they have to reset thier password,how do i make sure that all the other tables in other databases are also updated to make sure that the user is not forced to reset their password again when they log into those other databases later since they are using the same username and password for all databases.
I am planning to use a stored procedure which i will put into all the four databases and when a user logs in and has to reset their password,that sproc is called and automatically updates all the other 3 tables in other 3 databases.
Some SQL examples will be very appreciated.
Thanks.
Ok, this is kind of an odd problem. Back in June we were having problems with our call manager software, and they decided to have it just start usinga new database. Now I'm trying to generate some reports which need to cover both the old call stats and the new, so that means the stored procedure builds a temp table and populates it from both databases.This works perfectly fine in Management Studio, and when being called from Excel.However when I try to call it from an ASP.NET web app using SqlCommand.ExecuteReader(), I only get results from the new database!What on earth could cause that?

I am working with multiple databases on the same server and in a stored procedure I need to be able to call on one of them.
Here is an example of what I am trying to do in this stored procedure:create procedure sp_procedure(@variable int)select anitem from atable where selection = @variable
declare @anothervariable Char(3)
select @anothervariable = item_that_determines_database from atable where selection = @variable
use dbo.@anothervariableselect count(id) from Some_table where selection = @variable
The database is not found using this method and I do need to use it in a stored procedure. All of the databases being used are (3) letter names in lower case (aaa, bbb, ccc, etc...), the info that @anothervariable pulls from the table is the name of that database but in all caps. Does this part make a difference?
Also, what method could I use to get the database variable to read from that selected database?
Thank-you for your help.

Hello all,
I have discovered that you cannot use the "USE" command in a stored procedure to change to another database.
Is there any way I can change to another database within a stored procedure besides calling another stored procedure on the database I want?
Thanks,

We're running SQL Server 2008 and have run into a bit of a situation. We have 5 databases all with the same tables and we are trying to create a query that will loop through the different databases and output the results per company database. I originally did a cursor, but my boss wants the query to be in a more readable format:
His ideal wish would be the query in a stored procedure and the cursor to create the input parameter for the stored procedure for the different databases.I've tried looking through some forums and googling some possibilities but can't seem to make any sense of them.
declare @dbname varchar(100)
,@sql varchar(max)
createtable #TempDBs (
dbname nvarchar(100)
, Orig_Jnl int
, BaseRef int
, Posting_Date date
[code]....
Hi!
I need to use two distincts databases on the same stored procedure. One, database1, is where I want to place the procedure, and where the table the procedure populates is (table1). The other, database2, hosts the table (table2) from where I select some data to put into table1 in database1.
Database1 name is fixed, while database2 name may change. So, I would like to pass database2 name as a parameter to the procedure. In this simple example, it works fine:
use database1
go
create procedure teste @db_name varchar(10) as
exec ('select * from ' + @db_name + '.dbo.table2')
But the problem is that in my procedure, database2 is used in a cursor, something like this:
create procedure myProcedure @year int, @pDatabase2 varchar(30) AS
declare ...
WHILE ...
BEGIN
...
declare cursor1 cursor for
select column1, column2 from @pDatabase2.dbo.table2
where ...
open cursor1
fetch next from cursor1 into ...
close cursor1
deallocate cursor1
-- insert data into table
INSERT INTO table1
VALUES...
....
And I get an error if I try to use the exec! How can I do it? Can anyone help me please?
Thank you!
On SQL 2012 (64bit) I have a CLR stored procedure that calls another, T-SQL stored procedure.
The CLR procedure passes a sizeable amount of data via a user defined table type resp.table values parameter. It passes about 12,000 rows with 3 columns each.
For some reason the call of the procedure is verz very slow. I mean just the call, not the procedure.
I changed the procdure to do nothing (return 1 in first line).
So with all parameters set from
command.ExecuteNonQuery()to
create proc usp_Proc1
@myTable myTable read only
begin
return 1
end
it takes 8 seconds.I measured all other steps (creating the data table in CLR, creating the SQL Param, adding it to the command, executing the stored procedure) and all of them work fine and very fast.
When I trace the procedure call in SQL Profiler I get a line like this for each line of the data table (12,000)
SP:StmtCompleted -- Encrypted Text.
As I said, not the procedure or the creation of the data table takes so long, really only the passing of the data table to the procedure.
I have 5 databases that the user will chose which ones to restore. I was thinking the variable with the 5 database names separated by commas. I was thinking about using the CONTAIN function but two of the databases have the same name except for a few letters at the end.

I have around 5 databases with same structure used to store data for different locations and services.
I have created an intermediate database which will have all the stored procedures to access data from above 5 databases.
My queries are common to all the databases. so,I would like to pass database name as an argument to my stored proc and execure query on specified database.
I tried this doing using "USE Databasename " Command. but it says ...We can not use "USE command " in stored proc or triggers. so ..what i did is ..

I have two databases - I will call them database A and database B.

I have two databases - version 1 and version 2
I have the same table in both versions but the number of columns has changed from version 1 to version 2.
I can get the list of columns with:
select colid, name, col_text from _SCHEMA
where table_name like
'tableA' order by colid
How can I use something like this to compare tableA in dbo.1 to tableA in dbo.2 and just return the columns that exist in dbo.2 that aren't in dbo.1?
I thought something like this might do it, but I get major errors in execution:
use dbo.2 select colid, name, col_text from _SCHEMA
where table_name like
'tableA' and
name not in (use dbo.1 select name from _SCHEMA
where table_name like
'tableA')
order by colid

The following thread worked fine and i used this one for copying from one database to another database.
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2494847&SiteID=1
Now one more question i would to confirm based on the above thread.
Suppose i have 2 records in database1.dbo.Department and 6 records in database2.dbo.Department.
I want to copy 2 records in database2.dbo.Department and 6 records in database1.dbo.Department.
It is just like comparing two databases.
Do i need to follow the same thread for copying databases which is above. I mean to say the same query.
How can i write script for comparing databases in terms of both schema and data.

I'm in the process of trying to optimize a stored procedure with many queries. The execution plan provides a missing non-clustered index on nearly every query, and they're all fairly similar. The only real difference between them are what's in the INCLUDE statement. The two key columns are listed in every missing index. Let's say each query is approximately 5% of the total batch and 90% of the queries all fall into the category I listed above. How should I go about creating the missing indexes? Create all of the missing indexes or create one generic one that has all the INCLUDE columns? Create a minimal index with just a few of the common INCLUDE columns?
Here's an example of what I'm talking about with the missing indexes:
/*
USE [DB]
GO
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [<Name of Missing Index, sysname,>]
ON [dbo].[TABLE_1] ([COLUMN_A],[COLUMN_B])
INCLUDE ([C4ABCD],[C4ARTX],[C4ASTX],[C4ADNB],[C4AFNB],[C4BKVA])
GO
*/
/*
The Query Processor estimates that implementing the following index could improve the query cost by 99.9044%.
*/
/*
USE [DB]
GO
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [<Name of Missing Index, sysname,>]
ON [dbo].[TABLE_1] ([COLUMN_A],[COLUMN_B])
INCLUDE ([C4ARTX],[C4ASTX],[C4ADNB],[C4CZST])
GO
*/
/*
The Query Processor estimates that implementing the following index could improve the query cost by 99.5418%.
*/
/*
USE [DB]

CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [<Name of Missing Index, sysname,>]

Hi,
I want to compare the production (say prod_db) objects against development database say dev_db.
In Oracle I would run a query using "minus" that is
select table_name from user_tables@prod_db
minus
select table_name from
user_tables@dev_db
what is the equivalent sql in t-sql(or are there any GUI tools to do this).I understand that from prod_db I need to create a link server to the dev_db to run such a query.
Thanks,
copernicus.
