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
why my script is not allowing me to DECRYPTBYKEY once I restore my DB from PRODUCTION BACKUP....

I have a database with three different tables having the exact same fields. New records are written to table1, before moving to table2 and ultimately table3. I was wondering if it's possible to run the same query on all three tables at the same time. I need to get all unique instances in the JC field from each table after a specified date. I get an "Ambiguous column name" error on the JC and TimeID fields.
SELECT distinct [JC] FROM [table1], [table2], [table3] where timeid > '20090900';
Hi, I have two tables named Tab1 and Tab2. Both are identical in structure. The only diff is Tab2 has two more additional fields (FromDate and ToDate). The structure is like below : Col1 Col2 (Date field) Col3 Col4
Also Tab 2 have Col5 (From Date) Col6 (To Date)
Now I want to transfer some set of reocrds from Tab1 to Tab2. The additional Tab2 field (Col5 and Col6) values should be the minimum and maximum values of Tab1 date field for the current set.
How to accomplish this? Kindly help me in this regard.
Does anyone have a good query that would return records from two tables that are found in one, but not it the other table? In my situation I have 2 tables that are duplicate tables and I need to find an additional 3000 records that were added to one of the tables. I also have a composite key so the query would have col1, col2 and col3 as the composite key. So far I have tried concatenating the 3 columns and giving the result an alias and then trying to show the ones that were not in both tables, but have been struggling. Thanks..
I have two different tables... one for all Staff, and another for all Temp Staff. I need both to output to a datagrid, and so I need to grab both tables from a SQL query to output to my datagrid, but I can't seem to get the logic right for it to work. Can someone give me some suggestions on why my results are blank when I'm running this query? I thought a simple join would allow both sets of identical column names to coexist in peace...SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.StaffDirectory.UserName, dbo.StaffDirectory.LastName, dbo.StaffDirectory.FirstName, dbo.StaffDirectory.Dept, dbo.StaffDirectory.Title, dbo.StaffDirectory.EMail, dbo.StaffDirectory.LocationFROM dbo.StaffDirectory INNER JOIN dbo.TempStaff ON dbo.StaffDirectory.Location = dbo.TempStaff.Location AND dbo.StaffDirectory.EMail = dbo.TempStaff.Email AND dbo.StaffDirectory.Title = dbo.TempStaff.Title AND dbo.StaffDirectory.Dept = dbo.TempStaff.Dept AND dbo.StaffDirectory.FirstName = dbo.TempStaff.FName AND dbo.StaffDirectory.LastName = dbo.TempStaff.LName AND dbo.StaffDirectory.UserName = dbo.TempStaff.UName AND dbo.StaffDirectory.MDNo = dbo.TempStaff.MDNoIs something wrong here? It just doesn't work =(Any suggestions would be really appreciated.Thank you
I'd like to extend a package functionality. I created it drag/drop way with hard-coded table names.
Now for the same source and destination connections I'd like somehow in a loop transform 20 source tables of the same structure to 20 destination tables of the same structure providing table names in a loop. I also have in the package preparation SQL tasks such as dropping destination table if exists, and then re-creation , so it needs to consume a table name as parameter from my loop.
Im wondering if it is possible to write a procedure that check two identical tables for any missing records. The table design is excatly the same, but some records (of the 40,000) have not copied over to the second table.
We have written an application which splits up our customers data intotheir individual databases. The structure of the databases is thesame. Is it better to create the same stored procedures in eachdatabase or have them in one central location and use the sp_executesqland execute the generated the SQL statement.Thank you.Mayur Patel
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'm trying import 7 tables from each of 30 SQL2005 databases into a SQL2005 Consolidation database. I can simply create data flow tasks for each one but instead I would like loop through a list instead.
I've created a table to house the names of the databases from which I want to import the data. I've created SQL task to return the database names from the table as a "Full Result Set". I've assigned the result set to a user variable (type = Object) an named the result name 0
What I'd like to do is create a data flow task which connects to each of the databases and imports 7 specified tables from each database appending the table name with my database name in the result set.
I'm stuck on how I'd set the connection strings in my OLE DB Source in my Data Flow task. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if this is a super-basic question...I'm used to join selects but not sure how to approach an append select (or something like it) I have two tables with identical field structures: a Master table with 10,000 rows and a Custom table table with 1,000 rows To keep it simple, let's say the two tables each have a FirstName field and a LastName Field. Is it possible to use a View or a Select statement (or any other method) to 'append' the rows of both tables so that the result set still has only the two columns (FirstName and LastName) and has 11,000 rows? Thanks for your help! Randy

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 two identical tables and return the rows that are different,they are not having any primary key. Anyone to help with the query? Thanks.
Is it possible (easily) to compare two identical tables (one from server1 'SQL7', one a download from an Oracle DB into SQL7) to see if the Oracle table has changed, what is the changed row and place said row into another table to do some other process on those changed rows?
Need help with the structuring of the following query: I've got 2 tables nl :tableA, tableB I need to do a query to determine wat DISTINCT values of a column(cIdNo) in tableA is not present in column (bIdNo) in tableB.
tableA contains Id numbers of people who still has to pay their bills, and tableB contains Id numbers of people who already paid. So I want a query to determine who still needs to pay.
I've tried the following but doesn't work, not to sure if it's the right wayto do it:
PHP Code:
SELECT distinct(cIdno) as IdNumber FROM tableA LEFT JOIN tableB ON tableA.cIdNo != tableB.bIdNo
I have two the same structure tables. One is the source table (table1), another one is the destination table (table2).
Now I want to compare these two table row by row.
For example,
If table1 row1 is the same as table2 row1, go to next If table1 row2 is not the same as table2 row2, update table2 row2 to make it the same as table1 row2. If table1 row3 is not existed in table2 row3, insert table1 row3 into table2 blank new row.
Table 1 - Is named LIVE Table 2 - Is name EOM (End of Month)
The 2 tables have these fields MEMBER STREET
I want to build a query that will return any member who has changed their address (ex: member's eom address is "123 main st", and now their live address is "345 apple st")
But I do not want to display any addresses that are different because that member wasn't a member last month (not in the eom table)
Note: Member Numbers Never Change, only addresses will.
hi, I'm pretty new to ssis so this may be an absolute beginner question but i couldn't find a solution yet. the task is to compare data from tow tables which are of the same structure. table1 contains data before some operations and table2 contains the results. now i have to find out which datasets have been changed, which one are new and which one are gone.
i've done some googlin and found this TableDifference http://www.sqlbi.eu/Projects/TableDifference/tabid/74/Default.aspx component, but to me it seems to be kind of buggy, so I had the idea of trying to set an sql statement on both ole db sources where i tried to select only the datasets that are not contained in the other table. so i tried something like this:
select * from lib.table_1 except select * from lib.table_2
but this doesn't work either. so i would be really thankful if someone could help me.
I know this sounds simple, but I haven't seen it in bol. I need to compare two tables, and list what rows are unique to each table. Thanks for the help!
Can anyone give me the query that I can use to to compare the data between two similar tables.Data from col1,col2,col3,col4 needs to be compared. Col1 is primary key in both the tables.It should return with zero rows if they are same. Thanks for any help.
I have 2 tables , table 1 and table 2. Exact copies of some records from table 1 also exist in table 2. What i need to do is display records that exist in table 1 but do not exist in table 2.
I am trying to write a query to compare the same column in each table with "not equal" expression.
My query is like this:
select tableOne.empl_ser_no from tableOne, tableTwo where tableOnel.empl_ser_no <>(select empl_ser_no from tableTwo)
I am getting the following message from SQL Server:
Msg 512, Level 16, State 1 Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is illegal when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >=, or when the subquery is used as an expression. Command has been aborted.
