SQL Server 2008 :: Easy Way To Compare Contents Of Objects Between 2 Different Databases?
Jul 20, 2015
Is there an easy way to compare the contents of objects between 2 different databases? For example, say I had 2 databases, My_DB_1 and My_DB_2, each with a SEC_User table. Say I wanted to do an object-to-object comparison between databases to see if there were any differences. Here's some sample SQL:
use My_DB_1
select * from sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities('dbo.sec_user', 'object')
use My_DB_2
select * from sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities('dbo.sec_user', 'object')
Say that the result sets above both returned a SEC_GetUser sproc object ref. Is there a way to write SQL that will compare the SEC_GetUser sprocs (and other objects in the above rowsets) from both databases? For example, if My_DB_1.SEC_GetUser returns an extra column in the result set than My_DB_2.SEC_GetUser then I'd like my comparison SQL to return a single column "IsDifferent" with SEC_GetUser as a row....
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.
Is there a way to compare two databases one being an olddatabase and the second being a new database, I willupdate the old database's objects to match the new database'sobjects?Is there SQL code that could do this easily?How do you do this if you deal with the same scenario?Thank you
I have a large table containing about 800 million rows with an average row length of about 1K. The columns in the table are char columns. I need to move the contents of this table into a similar table where the target columns are varchar. The original table column definitions are compatible with the target table but the reverse is not necessarily true. For example, one column is being changed from int to bigint. The table is partitioned.
So, what is the fastest way to migrate the data. I was thinking to unload each partition into a flat file and load the target table running multiple load streams? Is this a good way?
I have a requirement to create a package that takes all files in a given folder and adds them to a single archive (.zip) file. I've tried several methods using 7zip and while I can create archives for every file in the directory I can't seem to get them into a single .zip file.
I am new to using SQL Server but will be having to get to know it at work and have downloaded SQL Server 2005 Express to tinker with at home.
What are the easiest methods to set up a relational database?
Are there any tools you can download to give SQL Server or the express version functionality similar to Access?
Can you get a tool to allow you to not only design tables in design view but then go on to create relationships and a database model?
Please excuse my ignorance if this is possible already, can anyone provide any links to getting started links?
There seems to be plenty out there about writing queries and stored procedures etc. but I haven't found as much about setting up a database from scratch.
From SQL Server 2000 Import wizard if we use Copy Objects & data between SQL Server Databases it'll copies tables with primary key. Similar to this what is the alternative method in SQL Server 2005.
Copy objects and data between SQL Server databases " Display the Select Objects to Transfer dialog box, where you can specify both objects and data to copy, if both the data source and destination are Microsoft® SQL Server™ databases. The objects you can transfer include tables, views, stored procedures, defaults, rules, constraints, user-defined data types, logins, users, roles, and indexes. You can transfer objects only between multiple instances of SQL Server version 7.0, from an instance of SQL Server 7.0 to an instance of SQL Server 2000, and between multiple instances of SQL Server 2000. "
can I apply "Copy objects and data between SQL Server databases" to run in two different sqlserver 2000 ( not an instance ) . what I mean is I have two different sql servers located in two different locations( I am not using an instance installation) can I still run the copy and get an identical database in both servers. Q2. if I have two sql server 2000 with different collations (one is binary and the other is the default) will I be able to run the copy wizard and still have an identical copy of sql server in both servers.
I personally tried to run the copy wizard and IT NEVER WORKED FOR ME and I really do not know the reason.
I am searching for a sp that can generate the entire objects on all my databass in the server. Something like the 'Generate sql scripts' for sql7 but i need it to be capable to run as a scheduled job and automaticly enters in all my databases in the server.
I need to take sql scripts for all my development databases every night. I have something like 80 databases in development on the server.
Is there a stored procedure to allow me to compare twoSQL objects? In my case for example I want to comparetwo stored procedures on two different databases?If there is no SP that does comparison, would there beany code in SQL DMO that does this?How does someone learn SQL DMO? Does SQL Server2000 have by default DMO learning material or I have tosearch for books?Thank you
We're converting to new student info system. Sometimes registrar entered the same school into the schools table but spelled it differently. Trying to find all student assigned transfer credits from the same school but the school name is different. My db shows a max of 9 different schools students have rec'd transfer credits. Spending too much time trying to figure out best way to do it w/o a ton of IF stmts. Looking at Soundex and Difference functions. Still looks like a lot of coding. how to compare up to 9 string variables in sqlserver 2008?
create table #temp1 (name varchar(5), id int) insert into #temp1 (name, id) ( select 'a', 5 union select 'a', 8
[code]....
As a result I would need every name from #temp2, where both searchred id's (5 & 8) from #temp1 are included.In this example i would like to get 'e' as a result, because in #temp2 'e' has the id's 5, 8 and 25.I've tried using cross apply, but cross apply returns every Name that have one of the ids... in this case it would also return 'c'...
Selectdistinct b.name from( Selectdistinct name , id from#temp1 wherename = 'a' ) as a cross join( Selectdistinct name , id from#temp2 ) as b wherea.id = b.id
--In Parent table(@ParentTable) there are 4 and 5 items each for product 101 and 102 respectively
INSERT INTO @ParentTable(ProductID,ItemID) VALUES(101,1234),(101,1578),(101,1590),(101,1237) INSERT INTO @ParentTable(ProductID,ItemID) VALUES(102,5465),(102,5466),(102,5474),(102,5489),(102,6543)
--child products 701 and 901 are derived from parent products(partially) 101 and 102 respectively
INSERT INTO @ChildParentTable(ParentID,ProductID,ItemID) VALUES(101,701,1234),(101,701,1590),(101,701,1578) INSERT INTO @ChildParentTable(ParentID,ProductID,ItemID) VALUES(901,102,5465),(901,102,5474),(901,102,8976)
--Here what I need is
--For product 701 there is one item missing ie 1237 which exists in its parent 101
--and For product 901 there are 3 items missing ie 5466,5489 and 6543 which exists in its parent 102
--and extra item exists ie 8976 so my result table should lokk like this

I have log shipping enabled on databases(primary and secondary) and works fine. I need to implement TDE on the database. I have experience on implementing TDE on databases which are not used for log-shipping.
What are the steps needed to setup TDE which are involved with log-shipping.
