Hi there,
Getting ready for deployment and I would like to be able to run an install
script that will not just generate the schema, but fill in some of the
tables with default data. Is there a tool out there that will scan user
tables in an SQL database and generate the script required in order to
create a database with this default data?
Thanks
Robin
Hello SQL Server Community.
I'm looking for a way to keep my database in Subversion so I can maintain it in source control.
Seems like the best way to do this would be to dump the database to a text script file. This works fine for creating the database structure and managing those change, however, that database structure is useless without the actual data in the tables.
Is there a good way to generate the inserts for the actual data? Why isn't this an option in the script wizard.
Also, does anyone have a better idea of source control of SQL Server databases in Subversion?
Thanks,
Ryan.

Hi to all
Is there any option in sql server DTS or any other third party tool that can script data. By scripting data i mean that....
if a table "Employee" contains 50 rows, i want the tool to write 50 insert queries for me so that i can run in it anywhere.
Problem is i have to insert data in a remote server where i cannot use DTS. I just have a text area to write my query and press the run button..
Hope u understand my problem. In case of any explanation please reply. Waiting for your response. Thanx in advance.

I just starting working for a new client this week. They have a custom install program written in VB.NET which installs the database to SQL Server 2000. Normally, when I want to create a SQL script to create a database, I would go into Enterprise Manager, right-click on a database, and select All Tasks | Generate SQL Script. However, that's not how this client works. Much to my horror, the CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE, etc. statements are both hard-coded and hand-coded within the install program itself. When I asked them why they weren't using SQL Server's scripting capabilities to automatically generate the script, they said that SQL Server scripting is buggy and that it doesn't work properly. It was hard getting specific details but they said it would leave out indexes, for example. Now, I'm no SQL Server expert, but I've never had a problem using SQL Server's scripting capabilities. The database they use isn't that big - maybe 20-30 tables. So, before I make an issue out of it, I was wondering what everyone else's experience with SQL Server 2000's scripting features? If you've used SQL Servers scripting to recreate a database, does it work? Did you have issues?

I'm ok with creating the database, adding tables and populating the tables I've created and thought that I could just EXEC aspnet_Membership_CreateUser '/', 'Admin', 'SecretPassword'...to achieve my goal, but it seems that the framework is responsible for encrypting the password before it gets to the Procedure and clear text just isn't acceptable.Any ideas on how to go about adding the user through SQL?

I have searched hi and low for hours within the product and online - I cannot find how to have SQL 2005 produce a script to automatically repeat the creation of a database role I have tedious manually created.
I have tried "script object as, create to,<>" - single-liners are produced - no details. More single line results from "<Database>, All Tasks, Generate Scripts".
Am I missing something or is this a bug?
€¦also to note after review blogs and other sources the use of the SQL2005 methods related to security and new schema objects - I feel€¦ dreadfully wrong - what is claimed feels like hype, unsupported by examples and usage cases feels like we better just make all automated processes sysadmin; I know learning curves can be strong but I am not this green or that stupid - where are the DOCS/training materials?
I am running MS SQL 2000 server. The table involved is only about10,000 records. But this is the behavior I am seeing.The local machine is querying the table looking for a particularrecord. Everything works fine.The remote amchine goes to clear the table and then insert all 10,000records, into the table the following happens.1) the local machines queries do not compilete until the remotemachine is done.2) the remote machine can take up to 6 minutes to do these 10,000insert operations. So nothing on the local machine works right forthese 6 minutes.I do not have access to the remote machines source to see what isrunning but I am told it is simply a for loop with a insert query init. Nothing of a locking natture.Any idea the types of things I should look for to track this down? Ifound this by doing SQL profiler profiling and finding the remoteoperations. Turn these operatiiosn off and the local machine worksfine again, with no other action.Thanks,David

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all,
This managed application was written to run on a Symbol 3090 Win CE 5.0 scanning device. We are using the symbol provided classes to access the scanning interface, and SQL Compact database on the device to collect the scanned data, and then using merge replication to synchronize scanned data when the device is docked. The problem we have experienced seems to be releated to the performance when inserting and updating records in the database.
We have tested some randomly generated 1000 records and inserting/updatating into a database. At first the time to commit a record increases when the database is flushing into the memory (The flush interval in the connection string property is 10 seconds by default). and then as the database size grows increasing the time to commit every single record which is causing the application to perform slowly as they scan items into the database. However, the device program memory remains consistant as they are scan items. From our tests, I found the time to execute either a update/insert command on 2MB sqlMobile database (upto 10000 records, depending on the size of the columns) is taking nearly 2 to 2 and half seconds to complete. Below is the only code I am executing,
If Not sqlObj.UpdateItem(1061022, itemNo, 1) Then
sqlObj.InsertResultSet(1061022, itemNo, itemObj.Style, itemObj.Color, itemObj.Size, itemObj.Description, 0, 1)
End If
For the notes, I am using prepared updated command and resultset.insert methods to perform update and insert commands into the database.
Any help on this issue is highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi all,
I am writing a portion of an app that is of intensely high online eCommerce usage. I have a question about identity columns and locking or not.
What I am doing is, I have two tables (normalized), one is OrderDemographics(firstname,lastname,ccum,etc) the other is OrderItems. I have the primary key of OrderDemographics as a column called 'ID' (an Identity Integer that is incrementing). In the OrderItems table, the 'OrderID' column is a foreign key to the OrderDemographics Primary Key column 'ID'.
What I have previously done is to insert the demographics into OrderDemographics, then do a 'select top 1 ID from OrderDemographics order by ID DESC' to get that last ID, since you can't tell what it is until you add another row....
The problem is, there's up to 20,000 users/sessions at once and there is a possiblity that in the fraction of a second it takes to select back that ID integer and use it for the initial OrderItems row, some other user might have clicked 'order' a fraction of a second after the first user and created another row in OrderDemographics, thus incrementing the ID column and throwing all the items that Customer #1 orders into Customer #2's order....
How do I lock a SQL table or lock the Application in .NET to handle this problem and keep it from occurring?
Thanks, appreciate it.

I know it's a simple question, just can't figure it out:
How do I script a new column into an existing table in SQL? I am using MS SQL 7.0 and need to create several new columns in existing tables.
thanks all.
Does anyone know how to prevent or change the
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
that appear between each Create? I can't see any options for changing then or eliminating them when generating the SQL Script for my stored procedures.
Thanks,
Scott
I have to come up a script that will be going across 60 different servers that will be looking for document type that are not being used across all servers and then deleting them.
To start with:
Select Enabled from MHGROUP.CUSTOM5
where Enabled ='N'
then delete records
and where would I run this type of script or should I say can this be done?
Thanks
Anyone know how to write a script for sql 6.5 that identifies what column is a primary key on a table? (INFORMATION_SCHEMA doesn't exist) Thanks for the help in advance.
View 10 Replies View RelatedWhat I need to do - can it be done without scripting?
1.) I need to get a list of sp's from a table (EXEC SQL task)
2.) Next, loop through the list of sp's and execute (FOREACHLOOP)
3.) Then, write the output of each sp to a uniquely named file. (DATA FLOW task)
So far, I have had success with 1 and 2. But getting the DATA FLOW task to work has been imposssible thus far.
I tried everything I can think of. I even created a child package that gets called from the FOREACHLOOP, using a Parent Variable Configuration to pass down the name of the stored procedure variable to the child package. No dice.
I am ready to throw in the towel here.
So, my question is, can what I want to do even be DONE without scripting? I was trying to avoid the "manual" approach to this project. It seems like what I want to do "should" be so simple.
In sum, I am simply trying to read a list of sp's from a table, execute the sp's, then write the output of the sp's to a uniquely named file.
Can this be done without scripting? I am beginning to think NOT.
Sigh. This is driving me crazy.
Please, any advice!!
Thanks
Hi Gurus/MVPS:
Can you please share or show me the code for scripting out stored procedures in SQL Server 2005 using SQL Cmd?. I need to perform the following:
1). Script out the text of the stored procedure
2). Output to a sql file (text file) under some directory like C:sql
3). Import the file into the destination db and run it.
The above three need to be automated in a DTS Package. I tried to use the DMO but my source server is a SQL2k5 and so DTS desginer does not let me use the ActiveX with DMO against SQL 2k5. I need to run the first step against a SQL2k5 machine and the second and third on a SQL2k machine.
Please help!!!.
Thanks

Hi,
Just getting into scripting sql. I have a little script that adds and drops a default value for a column. But I cannot get it to run when the column already has a default value specified. If I didn't script the contraint and specify a name I have no name to specify when trying to drop it.
ALTER TABLE users ADD CONSTRAINT dev1 DEFAULT 1 FOR ns_email_flag
ALTER TABLE users DROP CONSTRAINT dev1
How do I remove any existing default values using script?
TIA,
Seoras.
I am currently running SQL7 sp3 and will be moving the database to SQL2k. I have restored the database without any problems, but have not moved the dts packages. What would be the best solution: script the packages, save the packages to the 2k db, or just build from scratch? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! -J-
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to move over all of my DTS packages and corresponding jobs onto another MS SQL server machine. The problem that I have is that I haven't been able to find any straight-forward info on how to script up these jobs, move them onto another machine and execute them. I have scanned through previous posts written by people with the same problem, but every response is simply "script up the jobs and move them onto another server." Maybe I'm missing something, but how "exactly" do I get a job to show up on this destination machine in EM, in the management/sql server agent/jobs folder. I did the jobs/all tasks/script job... but then what? I saved it on this destination machine, but am unclear as what to do next. The MS SQL Server Administrators companion book is of no help on this subject, and I do not understand how this simple task can be so confusing and is not documented. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
