SQL Server 2005: Copying Tables And Stored Procedures Between Databases On Same Server
Mar 5, 2008
This question is about SQL Server 2005:
I have been trying to figure out how to copy tables and stored procedures between 2 databases (on the same server) using SQL Server Management Studio. I have tried right clicking on the table name, "script table as", "drop to", "clipboard", then I click on the 2nd database, and then click on the "tables" . I change the name of the database and click "execute". This creates the table but does not copy the data. I have also tried "create to" "clipboard" and "insert to" "clipboard" and cannot seem to be able to figure out how to get the results that I want. I am new at this but need to get the tables with the data copied along with the stored procedures, even if I have to do them one at a time. When I was using SQL Server 2000, I was able to use DTS to copy objects to other databases easily. Can someone please tell me a way to accomplish what I need to do? I have gotten information here before that was very useful and was hoping that someone can help me again.Thank you so much. Carol Quinn
Hi,In SQL 2000 if I wanted to take a complete copy of another running sqldatabase all did was create a new database locally and right-click itand select import and point to another database and click copyeverything (stored procedures as well) and it did it for. I can't seemto find the same functionality in SQL 2005. You can copy tables andviews but not the whole database. Is there another way of doing this?Our SQL database is hosted externaly and they recommend using theimport/export feature to do it. Does anyone know I can copy everything(such stored procedures, data table relations...etc)TanksMA.
Hi all, I am using Visual web developper 2005 with sql server express 2005 and i have also sql server management studio express. it's all free now . my web site is ready I didn't have problem to upload my site to my hoster. Now I want to upload all my tables and my stored procedure create locally with VWD express How can i do it ? NB: I know i can't design DB (create/modify tables and stored proc) with express edition thank's for your help
I was just wondering if something could be explained to me.
I have the following:
1. A table which has fields with data types and lengths / sizes 2. A stored procedure for said table which also declares variables with datatype and lengths/ sizes 3. A function in written in VB .net that uses said stored procudure. The code used to add the parameters to the sql command also requires that i give a data type and size.
How come i need to specify data type and length in three different places? Am i doin it wrong?
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Im using SQL Server 2000 with Visual Studio .Net using Visual Basic..
Stupid question but please be gentle and answer anyway please....
Background: We have SQL Server 2003 (32bit) running on our servers. Our .Net applications (from old release of VS) are still running on them and using the old databases. From what I understand there is no immediate plans to upgrade the servers. However the developers were just given this new upgrade (2005) SQL Server and VS (and fixing depreciated code etc in the .net apps).
Question: Can the applications and new stored procedures written via the 2005 environment be deployed successfully on the 2003 Servers? Same goes with Reporting Services?
I have successfully moved my data from a SQL Server 2000 hosting site to a SQL Server 2005 hosting site. I Made a backup of my database using Enterprise Manager (2000) and imported the database tables using SQL Server Management Studio (2005). I do not know how to move the 25 or so stored procedures that I have in SQL Server 2000. I have a very short amount of time to figure this out and am hoping that someone can give me a brief step by step answer on how to get this done. I would appreciate any information you can provide. Thank you!!
I have been trying to do this using both DTS and BACKUP/RESTORE. With the former my logins and users get transferred but no one can login. It's as if they are not linked to each other.
With the latter there are no logins to link to the db users. In Sybase we used to bcp the master..syslogins table. Does this work with MSSQL 7.0? Any other suggestions? TIA.
My production server has 8 databases connected to SAN where all the data resides. This also has the system databases. There are two internal drives where I store the log files
We will be buying additional internal drives for the server and want to move all data to these drives and free up SAN for other use.
Do I need to start building this server from scratch or is there an easy way to do this. I can use sp_attach_db and sp_detach_db too but I prefer backup and restore Is this the best option: backup all the databases uninstall sql server (since system databases are on SAN) Reinstall sql server Restore eveything on these new drives
The generated script output is in a order of stored procedure first and then table.
REQUIREMENT: My stored procedure is dependent on table. So, I need the table script first and then stored procedure.
Note: I can generate two separate scripts for table and stored procedure, But in a just curiosity to know, Is there any way, can we re order the Generate Scripts output in SQL Server.
I converted a program from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 all went well. I created a number of tables and stored procedures after the conversion. I backed up my .mdf and .idf files. I was having problems with SQL so I uninstalled and re-installed it. Once I re-installed it I could no longer display some tables and files. Since I am the dbo, I think I should be able to access them. There obviously is something I am missing, hopefully not the tables and sps.
I'm having some problems debugging SQL Server stored procedures on a SQL Server 2005 server. I have installed Visual Studio 2005 on a workstation running Windows XP, now I'm trying to debug a ASP.Net web application that has some code that executes the stored procedures on a Windows 2003 Server running SQL Server 2005.
I opened VS2005 ... created a connection to the SQL Server 2005 instance ... open the Stored procedure ... right click the stored procedure name and selected Step into Stored Procedure and the following message is displayed:
Unable to start T-SQL debugging.Could not attach to SQL Server process on 'ServerName'.
I am trying to make a copy of my live MSSQL 2005 Database to my local Developer Edition install.
To copy the whole database, I am using MS Database Publishing Wizard. I am able to copy the tables and data without problem, but after generating the sql file and running the query against the local db to copy everything, I get errors for the stored procedures.
The stored procedures name is preceded by a login, for instance: EXEC dbo.sp_executesql @statement = N'CREATE PROCEDURE [matthews].[proc_allitemswithtaxologykeylist] ( @list varchar(7777) ) AS (sql code below)
I have created the user "matthews" on the local instance and given the account DBO role membership in the database. What else do I need to do?
Is there a better way to synch live databases with a local install, perhaps from within management studio itself? I am more experienced with enterprise manager, but 2005 won't let you connect with it.
Hai, I just waana know whether we can use "FOR statement" in Stored Procedures. If yes, can you describe it with some examples of how they are used in stored procedures ?
When I transfer/copy tables from one database to another (on the same SQL Server), everything is fine. When I try to tranfer/copy Stored Procedures, I get the error message: "Failed to copy objects from Microsoft SQL Server to Microsoft SQL Server."
I am using the DTS import/export wizard to do this.
I have several stored procedures, created in a development environment,that I need to move to a 'QA' environment, and then in turn, to variousproduction environments.When I move these stored procedures, I would like to encrypt them,using the 'WITH ENCRYPTION' clause.My question is, how do I copy these stored procedures from developmentto their target SQL server environment in an encrypted state?Up until now, we have been moving them by generating an SQL script andthen executing that script on the target server. I have tried thisusing a script with 'WITH ENCRYPTION' specified within it, but itdoesn't appear to work when I try and execute that script on the targetserver.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Nick.
I was wondering, is it really true that in Sql Server 2005, there is no updated date -property for stored procedures? There is a created date -property, but it's not useful, because stored procedure's get updated often. This is a huge disadvantage for me, and I was really waiting for ms to fix this problem after sql server 2000, but no. Does anyone figured out any solution to this problem?
Background: We have SQL Server 2005 x64 running on a quad-core (dual dual-core) machine with 16GB of RAM. The database is about 10GB in size and we execute around a million stored procedures a day on it. Our application uses about 1000 different stored procedures on this machine. The application is a transactional B2B web-app with about 2000 users. The problem we have is a really odd one that I can't seem to find much information on. We have a small number (3-4) of stored procedures that's exibiting this problem. The stored proc in question takes on average 100ms CPU time to execute. It's a fairly complex stored proc, about 300 lines long, 6-7 select statements and it uses temp tables. No updates / inserts except for on the temp tables. It's executed about 5000 times per day. About once a week, though, execution times will suddenly jump up to 3000 ms average. This happens randomly during the day, although it seems to happen more often on Monday mornings (the DB is mostly unutilized over the weekend) To fix this, I force the DB to recalculate the execution plan by adding / removing (depending what I did last time around) the line 'set arithabort on' at the top of the stored procedure. I have no idea why this works, but it does. Within seconds of changing it, the stored proc execution time will go back to it's normal range of 60-150ms. I've tried setting the execution plan of the stored procedure but I can't get it to work - the execution plan is very long and I don't know how to debug the error I get. What is happening? This happens with a couple of stored procedures - usually the more complex ones. Has anyone seen anything like this?
I am using SQL server 2005 stored procedures being called from my java application using the CallableStatement. As long as my stored procedure is a simple and direct Select statement things are moving nicely. But my stored procedures are a little bit more complicated and this causes problems for me to parse the data in a ResultSet. a sample stored procedure: Create procedure sp_Get
//this also returns false? boolean moreResults = cmd.getMoreResults();
The strange part of this is that when you execute this query in the SQL Server Managent Studio it returns 1 result set. Why is my java code not able to see this result?
Hello, What permissions do I need to set on our new SQL Server 2005 test server so that I can see the stored procedures, views and tables from Visual Studio development environment.
Example, I can see my older SQL Server 7 tables, edit them, write stored procedures, and so on. But while I can see the SQL Server 2005 and its databases, the folder underneath are empty and I cannot right-click to create New stored procedure or table.
My guess is that there is security involved, if so, what do I set on the new server? If I'm wrong, and it's something else entirely, please advise.
I'm a new developer to both SQL Server 2005 & Windows 2003, so forgive me if this question seems a little too basic. I'm coming from a Oracle and UNIX background.
I've create a stored procedure in SQL Server 2005. I now want to execute this from the command line in Windows 2003. Eventually, I want our UNIX scheduler, autosys (which runs on a different UNIX machine obviously) to be able to execute this. In my old environment, I created a UNIX shell script as a wrapper let's say 123.sh. This shell script would accept as a parameter the name of the stored procedure I wanted to execute. If this stored procedure also had parameters it needed to be passed to it, I would have strung these values out in the command line in UNIX. Two examples of how the command line in UNIX I used to execute the Oracle stored procedure might look are listed below.
This way anytime I created a new stored procedure, I could reuse the shell script wrapper 123.sh and just pass in the name of the newly created stored procedure and any parameters it needed.
How can I accomplish this same type of functionality in the SQL Server 2005/Windows 2003 environment.
I have a database (SQL 2005) with two schemas (dbo and s1) and with tables defined in dbo and tables defined in s1. The stored procedures are also defined in both schemas, some of them in dbo some of them in s1. Some of the stored procedures query tables from dbo and s1 at the same time. I want to have a new db role with access to the database only through sps and no other access read/write to the tables. I created a new db role and granted execute permission to it and assigned a user to it. When I execute stored procedure defined in dbo with query against dbo tables, it works as expected. However, if I run stored procedure defined in s1 with query to table in dbo, I receive error about missing select permission for the table in dbo. I am not sure why, but I can assume there is an issue with the ownership chain. I can grand read/write permission for the tables, but this will break our original requirement for limited access to the db only through sp. The other option is to have another role r2, with read/write, privilege and to use EXECUTE AS r2 in the sp.
I would like to ask first why the error for missing select permission happens and is there another way to have role restricted to only execute permission for all stored procedures.
I want to know the differences between SQL Server 2000 storedprocedures and oracle stored procedures? Do they have differentsyntax? The concept should be the same that the stored proceduresexecute in the database server with better performance?Please advise good references for Oracle stored procedures also.thanks!!
1. Take a subset of data from about 100 tables that have multiple references to other tables in this group of 100 from a first DB. 2. Insert the above data into a second DB, a database that already has data in the 100 tables, while maintaining the correct references.
As a general approach, the best way I can think of doing this is as follows:
1. Create mapping tables for every ID that is referenced in a different table (OldID NewID) 2. Insert the old data into the new table and output the OldID and NewID into the mapping table. 3. Use that mapping data to make sure all tables that use those IDs have the new IDs in DB2.
This approach is extremely labor intensive both on initial implementation and would require a fairly substantial amount of work to maintain going forward.
I am trying to export a databse from access into sql server express. The access database is on a network and the sql server express is on my local machine.
Could someone give me setp by step instructions please as to how to export the data from the tables into my sql server express.
I have right now sql server 2000 instance installed on a server (serverone) which is accessed on all nodes through an ODBC connection.
Now we have upgraded our server to windows server 2005 which will be on other machine servertwo. I have right now installed sql server 2005 in servertwo. Wish to copy the database from serverone to servertwo. Once it is copied and everything is working fine. I want to uninstal sql server 2000 from serverone.
What is the best way to do this? I am trying different things like tried running code Advisor on serverone which is not recognising the sql server 2005 instance of servertwo. It's giving message as since the sql server is installed on default settings it can't be accessed remotely. I see that SQL server 2000 database is accessible on all nodes including servertwo. Why is it that servertwo sql server is no where accessible?
