I'm quite new to MS SQL and am having a few problems I hope someone here can help me with.
I've created a small web application that enables users to backup and restore databases easily.
There is one table that holds information about the backups that have been taken and one table that holds details about each database (name, location etc)
What I want to do is have a web interface that allows a user to link a new database (one that is already attached to SQL but) to the system by inputting it into the database details table.
Ideally this will be a drop down menu that shows the databases attached to the server that arnt:
1. Already in the backup system table
2. Not the system databases.
This will allow the user to easily select the database and give it a title (usually different from the local name of the database) for identification.
The database local name, and title would then be input into the database details table.
I'm thinking that I need to use a SELECT statement, but I'm not quite sure how I can restrict the results to databases that arnt already attached or already in the system.
i need to create a rowset containing database names where a particualr table name exists. ie. in Oracle i would select owner from sys.all_tables where table_name='MYTABLE'
I know master.dbo.sysdatabases contains my owners, and in each database sysobjects would identify MYTABLE .. sp_tables only lists those in the current database, but i want to list all databases that contain MYTABLE
I hope someone can answer this, I'm not even sure where to start looking for documentation on this. The SQL query I'm referencing is included at the bottom of this post.
I have a query with 3 select statements joined together like tables. It works great, except for the fact that I need to declare a variable and make it a table within two of those 3. The example is below. You'll see that I have three select statements made into tables A, B, and C, and that table A has a variable @years, which is a table.
This works when I just run table A by itself, but when I execute the entire query, I get an error about the "declare" keyword, and then some other errors near the word "as" and the ")" character. These are some of those errors that I find pretty meaningless that just mean I've really thrown something off.
So, am I not allowed to declare a variable within these SELECT tables that I'm creating and joining?
Thanks in advance, Andy

My environment:XP Home, VWD, SQLEXPRESS.A purely local setting, no network, no remote servers. I try to do a JOIN query between tables in the membership ASPNETDB.mdf and one table in a self created 3L_Daten.mdf. After dragging the tables into the Query Design window and connecting them VWD creates this query (here I added the control declaration): <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionStringAspNetDB %>" SelectCommand="SELECT aspnet_Users.UserName, aspnet_Membership.Password, aspnet_Membership.Email, aspnet_Membership.PasswordQuestion, aspnet_Membership.PasswordAnswer, aspnet_Membership.CreateDate, aspnet_Membership.LastLoginDate, aspnet_Roles.RoleName, [D:VISUAL STUDIO 2005WEBSITES3L_V1APP_DATA3L_DATEN.MDF].dbo.Personendaten.Age, [D:VISUAL STUDIO 2005WEBSITES3L_V1APP_DATA3L_DATEN.MDF].dbo.Personendaten.Sex, [D:VISUAL STUDIO 2005WEBSITES3L_V1APP_DATA3L_DATEN.MDF].dbo.Personendaten.Area FROM [D:VISUAL STUDIO 2005WEBSITES3L_V1APP_DATA3L_DATEN.MDF].dbo.Personendaten INNER JOIN aspnet_Users ON [D:VISUAL STUDIO 2005WEBSITES3L_V1APP_DATA3L_DATEN.MDF].dbo.Personendaten.User_ID = aspnet_Users.UserId LEFT OUTER JOIN aspnet_Roles INNER JOIN aspnet_UsersInRoles ON aspnet_Roles.RoleId = aspnet_UsersInRoles.RoleId ON aspnet_Users.UserId = aspnet_UsersInRoles.UserId LEFT OUTER JOIN aspnet_Membership ON aspnet_Users.UserId = aspnet_Membership.UserId"></asp:SqlDataSource> THIS WORKS, BUT: As you can see the database 3L_Daten.mdf is inserted with its full path, which is not feasible for deployment reasons. My question: How can I address both databases purely by their database names ? Both have been created within VWD and lie under App_Data. (I tried almost everything, I practiced with the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express Edition, I tried linked servers, all without success). Thank you for your consideration.
Hi I'm trying to select data from different databases, Actually databases have the same structure and tables but different data, so I want to mix data from specific tables of all databases. Any help would be great
I have several databases on the same server that have the same table structures within them. Call them
Server.A Server.B Server.C ...etc.
I have designed a report that works in one database, say "A". I would like to add a parameter box to the report giving the user the ability to select which database to run the report in. I'm not sure if this is possible.
There may be more complex ways to handle this, say, with dynamic SQL or by building a large UNION of select statements across the various databases. But I figured I might ask for a simple solution first. :-)
Just wondering, in DTS, can I run a SELECT script that selects from 2 different databases (both on the same server)?
I can run this in Sql Query Analyzer, but in a DTS, it doesnt accept my database name prefixes:
SELECT a.something FROM DB_ONE.dbo.product a, DB_ONE.dbo.mp_brand b, DB_TWO.dbo.lk_pcat_cutover c WHERE a.PCat <> c.Pcat
(where DB_ONE and DB_TWO are the 2 different db names)
I have one connection to DB_ONE... does this mean I cant access DB_TWO when using this connection? I want to try and avoid using a temporay table for storing DB_TWO's data in DB_ONE... Is this possible?
I need assigning a group of users read, write, update (not delete) permission on all user databases. is there any way to do so instead of creating role on each database separately.
Hi,We are discussing possible implementation for sql2005 database(s). This database will serve one web portal. Part of data will get into it by hand, and part will be replicated from internal system.Some of us are for creating two separate databases, since there are two separate datasources. One, automatic, will change very little over time and requires almost no maintenance. Other datasource will be manual input. Tables and procedures related to this part will change over time.Some of us are for creating single database, since it will serve one web site. More important this group is concerned about performance issues since almost every select will require join between tables that would be stored in two separate databases. Do these issues exist? Can you share some insights, comments, links about this?
How do I write an sql statement to link tables in two databases and query them? For example: SELECT db1.table1.field1, db2.table1.field1 FROM Table1 INNER JOIN db1.table1.field1 ON db2.table1.field1 = db1.table1.field1
I have a basic sql statement, where I have a usersID, and I want to joing that usersID to another table in another database to get the users first and last names. How do I join across databases... each with a different connection string? Here's what I want.. Select usersID from tableA in databaseA, and usersFirstName, usersLastName from table B in database B where the usersID from tableA = the usersID in tableb.
I am trying to find out what records on in one DB and not the other. This SQL statement works find if the DBs are on the same Server. If I replace on the DBs with a linked DB (on another server) I get the following error.
SELECT * FROM [LinkedServer].[DBonLinkedServer].[dbo].[Sales Price] WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT [LocalDB].[dbo].[Sales Price].* FROM [LocalDB].[dbo].[Sales Price] WHERE ([LocalDB].[dbo].[Sales Price].[Item No_] collate Latin1_General_CS_AS = [LinkedServer].[DBonLinkedServer].[dbo].[Sales Price].[Item No_]) AND ([LocalDB].[dbo].[Sales Price].[Unit of Measure Code] collate Latin1_General_CS_AS = [LinkedServer].[DBonLinkedServer].[dbo].[Sales Price].[Unit of Measure Code]) )

I want to customize database maintenance to run only on selected databases based on their status in sys.databases, without having to statically select them in the GUI.
I'm trying to write an SSIS package that will do the following:
1. Query for a list of databases that are not read-only or recovering, etc. 2. Perform database maintenance tasks (e.g., rebuild indexes) on those databases.
I'm doing this because the database maintenance tasks do not provide a way to select databases based on criteria or a SQL query filter.
My package includes an Execute SQL task to get the list of databases, a Foreach loop container to loop through the databases, and then...this is where I get stuck. I can't use the existing maintenance tasks (Rebuild Index, Update Statistics, etc.) because I don't know how to provide an input variable for the list of databases. I'd rather not write dynamic SQL to generate commands for each database object.
I am unable to the access on table even after providing the SELECT permission on table.
Used Query by me :
Here Test is schema ; Card is table ; User is Satish
To grant select on Table
GRANT SELECT ON TEST.Card TO satish Even after this it is not working, So provided select on schema also. used query : GRANT SELECT ON SCHEMA::TEST TO Satish.
For reasons that are not relevant (though I explain them below *), Iwant, for all my users whatever privelige level, an SP which createsand inserts into a temporary table and then another SP which reads anddrops the same temporary table.My users are not able to create dbo tables (eg dbo.tblTest), but arepermitted to create tables under their own user (eg MyUser.tblTest). Ihave found that I can achieve my aim by using code like this . . .SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstIDDATETIME)'EXEC (@SQL)SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())'EXEC (@SQL)This becomes exceptionally cumbersome for the complex INSERT & SELECTcode. I'm looking for a simpler way.Simplified down, I am looking for something like this . . .CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestInsert ASCREATE TABLE tblTest(tstID DATETIME)INSERT INTO tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())GOCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestSelect ASSELECT * FROM tblTestDROP TABLE tblTestIn the above example, if the SPs are owned by dbo (as above), CREATETABLE & DROP TABLE use MyUser.tblTest while INSERT & SELECT usedbo.tblTest.If the SPs are owned by the user (eg MyUser.TestInsert), it workscorrectly (MyUser.tblTest is used throughout) but I would have to havea pair of SPs for each user.* I have MS Access ADP front end linked to a SQL Server database. Forreports with complex datasets, it times out. Therefore it suit mypurposes to create a temporary table first and then to open the reportbased on that temporary table.
Dear All I need to cerate a SP that SELECTS all the records from a table WHERE the first letter of each records starts with 'A' or 'B' or 'C' and so on. The letter is passed via a parameter from a aspx web page, I was wondering that someone can help me in the what TSQL to use I am not looking for a solution just a poin in the right direction. Can you help.
I'm a VB.net programmer working in an environment that doesn't have a true sql db administrator. We have a situation where we're thinking about adding a new database (db2) with the same Tables used in an existing database (db1). We were hoping to avoid this, but circumstances are forcing us to think about it. Are there any sql tools out there to maintain a dual-db like this? What are the main disadvantages to this?
What is the best approach to handle this situation? I have three different databases, which has it's own stored procedure. I need to call them all at page load and piece together the data. The common demoninator is the date.
2007 JAN FEB MAR APR
row 1 50 60 89 63
row 2 44 21 62 46
2006 JAN FEB MAR APR
row 1 60 90 65 41
row2 984 650 452 762 Row 1 and Row 2 come from two different databases and stored procedures. How can I query the data and present it as it's shown above? Thank you!
Is there a query I can run to retrieve a list of all tables and their sizes in a database? I want something that is like the feature in Enterprise Manager when you click on a database and then the 'Tables & Index' link. It lists the tables and their respective size. I want to push this into a spread sheet.
The reason why I am doing this is the compare data between 2 different databases. Since I cannot find a tool that will compare the data, the closest I can get (without bcp-ing out all data and comparing) is to look at the sizes of each table.
Hi I have a problem out here. I have two databases with the same table structure and I want to merge data from both the tables . Please can anyone let me know. Iam using Sql Server 7.0.
I want to map a table1 in one database to a table2 in another database. That way I can populate the table2 with the information that table1 has. How would you go about doing this. Very new at this and need help! Thanks alot .
Hello EveryoneWe have a third party tool which maintains its own customdatabase,DB1 on SQL Server 2000 on Server A (Windows 2000). We built aninhouse application which maintains a transactional database, DB2 alsoon Server A derived from DB1. Since the DB1 is frequently updated thesynchronisation between the databases is currently maintained by usingviews in DB2 which pulls in all the required data from across tables inDB1.But we found that the cost of employing views, referencing tablesacross databases has made the inhouse application slower and so as aapparent performance tuning measure we plan to maintain a subset ofdata(for a specific time period) from DB1 in actual tables with sameschema in our transactional database DB2. But since the tables in DB1are frequently updated during the day we are required to thesynchronise the corresponding tables in DB2 with their counterparts inDB1. The only constraint in this synchronization being that the thirdparty custom database,DB1 cannot not be subjected to any changes (likecreation of triggers) as it is maintained by a different group ofpersonnel.I read about Triggers,Maintenance Jobs and Replication but not surewhich would suffice our needs.Are there any recommendations on how thiscould be carried out? Any suggestion would be welcome.Thankschandra
I have several databases that are used to collect data for differentclient-projects. My intention was to collect the data, and administermySQL so each client could see only their data. Each of thesedatabases used to collect data have the same tables. There are otherdatabases which are available to all the users which contain commoninformation.The command "show databases" lists all of the databases (visible tothe particular user) and not the one's I would like to display (thedatabases used to collect data). Is there a way to nest a singlemySQL command to show only the databases that have the same particulartable?
In a package we have statements pointing to 2(or more) different databases on the server. When moving between environments, is there an easy way to change statements like:
UPDATE t1 SET t1.name = t2.name, t1.age = t2.age FROM DB1..Person t1 INNER JOIN DB2..PersonToo t2 ON t1.PersonID = t2.PersonID
I can think only of building the statements replacing the database names with variables, but that's not an easy way. I do not know how to use package variables in this situation. 1 way of doing this may be by using a Lookup or Conditional Split and use the resulting dataflow in a SP or such to update, using parameters... It all sounds very messy, and I still don't know how Any ideas?
