Hi :)
I would like to know if it is possible to link two databases together
(in my case ASPNETDB, and another mdf database) so that I can run
queries on those shared tables. For example, I would like to use the
uniqueidentifiers from the ASPNETDB tables in my own tables.
Thank you!
(I do use the latest version of Visual Web Developer).
Does 7.0 allow multiple databases to share a data file/log file?
Will a large data device file shared by 10-25 databases present any problems?
Thanks
Hi
I’m looking for an efficient way of using a singe set of stored procedures to access a number of different databases (Sql Server).
The most feasible option I’ve come up with so far is to send the specific database name through as a parameter. Unfortunately the function “use” isn’t available to stored procs, so it seems I must move the query into a varchar, to then exec it.
There’s been another suggestion of using a web service to store the procedures, but I imagine that this would be very slow and cumbersome.
There must be a better way – any ideas?
Thanks,
indra
I work in a medical facility and and client confidentiality prevents loading my pivot tables to sharepoint at this time.
I am creating several reports that combine data from SQL Server, Cerner medical report DB and some lookup tables in Excel.
Everything works great on my desktop but I'm having trouble sharing my work.
Our normal routine is to drop a copy of our excel files in a Pass through file on the server that has strict access controls.
I think my main problem is my supervisor doesn't have powerpivot on his machine. that will be corrected tomorrow.
My question is: When close your powerpivot workbook, do all the connections go with it. Â If I just drop myproject.xlsx into the pass through will all the links to the varying data sources still be available?
Dear Readers,Is it possible, like in Access, to link to tables in other SQL databases that are on the same server? I have a query that I originally had in Access that queered from multiply databases. It did this by having those other tables in the other databases linked to the database that had the query.
Hi,
I'm writing an intranet application - a web survey engine.
I'd like to create a new database for each user that creates a survey form...
versus creating new tables for each survey.
Memory and disk space is not exactly the problem... just user permissions. If I dump all the results onto one database, doesn't it mean that this user can have access to all other tables(including the results of other surveys??)
Question is, does SQL Server reserve a bunch of memory for each database that I create, thereby hogging up a lot of space if I create more than one database.
Thank you.
hi all,
i want to write SQL query that create table and insert in this table all databases' name and their tables' name that exist in my server.
e.g
DB name Table name

Pubs authors
Pubs discounts
Pubs employee
msdb log_shipping_databases
msdb log_shipping_monitor
Credit for this script really goes to ToddV (see http://www.sqlteam.com/Forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13737)
The following script issues a DBREINDEX command against every table in every database on your server. It can be modified to issue other commands, but this one in particular is helpful as we are migrating about 30 databases from SQL 7 to SQL 2000 (new server) and re-indexing is recommended. Here's the script:
DECLARE @SQL NVarchar(4000)
SET @SQL = ''
SELECT @SQL = @SQL + 'EXEC ' + NAME + '..sp_MSforeachtable @command1=''DBCC DBREINDEX (''''*'''')'', @replacechar=''*''' + Char(13)
FROM MASTER..Sysdatabases
WHERE dbid > 6 -- skip the 6 built-in databases. Remove to process ALL
PRINT @SQL -- Only if you want to see the code you're about to execute.
EXEC (@SQL)
Notes: There is a limit (nvarchar 4000) to how big your command can be, so too many databases will halt this.

I am using Vista Business with Visual Web Developer and Sql Server Express 2005. I want to be able to access the data from two tables in a query. Both tables are attached to the application.
To refer to the two databases I have used the following
DATABASE.OWNER.TABLE (specifically TaskMgr.dbo.TaskTable)
For both databases I get the error "Invalid object name"
What am I missing?
Thanks
I am using SQL server7.0. I am having two databases ,say database A and database B.Database A is the main database which is used in two /three projects.While database B is created by me for my work.From the database A, I am using the 4/5 tables, which i have copied in to the database B.

Hey everyone. I am somewhat of a newbie to the database world.
I have been given the task of connecting two different SQL databases. Both are Microsoft SQL.
I want some of the tables of one of the databases to be linked to the tables of the other.
Is this possible?
Thanks

I have two databases that each contain the same tables, but different data in the tables. For example, each data contains a table with the same name, arcus, that holds data on our customers. Although the data is different in each table, there is some overlap, particularly in the area of customer number since that is assigned automatically when a customer is entered and serves as the primary key for that table.
To consolidate, I need to merge the two databases. How can I import the data from one table in second database into a table in the first database and append a number to the customer number so that all data will be brought across.
To better illustrate:
database one has an arcus file with a field cusno and contains cusno 1-50
database two has an arcus file with a field cusno and contains cusno 27-58
The overlapping cusno's are not the same customer.
How can I get all the cusno from the arcus file in database two to the arcus file in database one?
Is this even possible?
Hi,
I am trying to relate two tables but both are from different databases. I have a database 'Current' which has a table 'case' and another database 'Org' which has a table 'employee'. I want to establish a one-to-many relationship between employee and case. I created a coulmn 'employee_key' in the case table & entered values matching the pkey of the employee table. Then I wrote a query using joins to access the table records.
select Org..employee.pkey, Current..case.assignedengineer, Current..case.pkey from Current..case join Org..employee on Current..request.employee_key=Org..employee.pkey
Although the above query works fine, there is no relation between the two tables of the two databases, I wanted to know if this is the right way to achieve what i want to or is there a way in which i can actually create a relationship between tables of two different datbases. Can anyone suggest/help???
Also, I wanted to know if i can relate 1 table of SQL Server db with another table of Oracle DB. Please help ...........
Thanks
Is it possible to make a join between two tables from different databases on same server? if yes, how can we do that?
And also if I want to make a join between tables on different databases on different server?how to do this. Please advise.
My boss has asked me to look into this and I haven't been able to find any information on the web. I hope someone can answer this for me. We currently have a single database that is storing all the user information and transactions. Within the same database we are also logging different types of user activity. If both these tables are heavily used, would it make sense to separate it into different database, one for data and one for logging? Is there any pro or cons of having more than one database? Any opinion or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. I'm the closest thing they have to DBA and I'm really new to this. Thanks.

View 10 Replies View RelatedIn a database, I am creating a new db. From there, I am setting up thetables, so that I can eventually create a front end (usually access,but I may attempt to be brave and lose the shell.) Anyway, I want touse a table, read-only for a lookup. It exists in another database onour system. Is there a way for me to link it into this database that Iam working on? I would think of it like in access when you go to do anew table and you choose to link the table from somewhere else. Thatis what I want to do. Can anyone possibly step me through this?I know basics of sql server and like to learn.Thanks!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to compare the records in a table on my live database server with the same table that is my test database server. How can I do this?
Note that both databases are mirrors of each other but contain slightly different data and are on different servers.
Hi All,
I have a little problem and i hope u will help me.
Well, my problem is, i want to make a relation between 2 tables which r not in the same databse.
Database D1 >>> Table T1
Database D2 >>> Table T2
So i want something like this:
Table T1:
ID >>> PK
Table T2:
ID >>> PK
Table1ID >>> FK from Table T1
so, i will have a relation between the 2 tables.
Thanks in Advance,
We have created a view that selects from tables in two databases. it looks like something like this:
CREATE VIEW myview AS
SELECT col FROM db1.mytab
UNION SELECT col FROM db2.mytab;
Both tables have col as primary key.
When we executes SELECT col FROM myview WHERE col='SOMEVALUE' we receives the correct result but SQL server does not use any indexes. It performs a index scan on both tables. Wh and what can we do about it? The tables contains millions of rows so the performance is terrible.
The following works fine:
SELECT col FROM db1.mytab WHERE col ='SOMEVALUE'
UNION SELECT col FROM db2.mytab WHERE col ='SOMEVALUE';
Qe are running SQL Server 2000 and TRANSACT SQL

(Client1, Client2, Client3 etc... will all have access to the same Database1)
Any help someone could give me would be a big help
There are several databases (currently in Access) that are being moved to SQL Server. Would prefer keeping those databases separate in SQL Server. How do you do something similar to Access's "link" capabilities and relate tables in different physical databases? For example, relate the authors of a document in a document database to persons in a people database where AuthorID in Docs.DocAuthors.AuthorID is related to People.Persons.PersonID
