Synchronising Data Between 2 SQL Server 7 Databases - Help ;o)
Oct 4, 2001
Hi, can anyone point me in the right direction of how to sync an in-house SQL Server 7 with a remote SQL server 7.
We are a development house. We build website using SQL server 7 databases then move them up to an entirely different SQL server 7 database in a remote location.
Now, please don't laugh, currently we export all the data from the development server into a csv and import it back into the live server. As you can imagine, it's clunky, time consuming and unreliable.
Is there a way to automatically sync the two? I tried desperately to find any information but even the MicroSoft MCSE training manual on SQL doesn't say how to do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hey folks,
I'm looking to gather ideas on this before I start the project; so what better way to start than to ask here? ;)
The situation is this: we are in the process of replacing a large data driven application with a new one. Before turning the old'un off (that's not for a minimum of 6 months), we need to migrate data between the two entirely different schemas, and I've been tasked with writing the interfaces.
Now, here comes the kicker; they don't just want a "straight-forward data conversion", they want to run a period where they can still update both databases and any changes in the old one are to be pushed into the new db.
Because the schemas are not the same, I believe replication is out of the question so I was looking for advice as to what possibilies I have ahead of me to achieve this.
I fear I may not have expained this well enough; so as always if there are holes in the detail let me know and I'll do my best to fill them in :)
Old db = SQL Server 2000
New db = 2005
Thanks,
George

HiWe have an internal ms access database which we need to synchronise with ourwebsite with sql server 2005 backend which is hosted on a public host. Myquestion is; is there a way to keep the two databases synchronised using thetechnologies built in sql server 2005 and/or access? We also have thepossibility of an in-house sql server 2000. Can this be used in anyway tohelp, perhaps by moving data from in house access to in house sql server2000 and then synching sql server 2000 and remote sql server 2005?ThanksRegards

I'm in the middle of developing a Database for a hospital that measures its audits, inhouse operations, and finance. What we currently have and do everyday is collect data from a large database that is real time with patient data, progess, infomation, etc and dump it into a data warehouse that runs on TSI/Eclipsys. We run reports using a number of programs and dump it into Excel sheets that have charts, reports, etc. This Database for which I'm developing won't come soley from the TSI/Eclypsys source, but this is the only source thats updated regularly. I don't want to have in sync with TSI/Eclipysys in fear that every day when it updates data may be lost, not read, or worse won't be up date if there is a problem. My question is is it possible to run a query from Sequel Server 2005 that will take that data upon request using the reporing features on Sequel Server 2005. i.e. What if I need to run a report on measure B in department 12 from Jan 1-Feb 1, instead of being in sync, can I just write queries to take that information rather than double the data and take up twice the space and trouble. FYI, these datatypes rarely change in the TSI/Eclipsys data warehouse. This sure was long question and didn't intended it to be . Thanks for listening and hope to hear back.

Hello guys,
I'm stumped. Is there a way to get a compact edition client (running on a standard PC) to automatically sync. (using merge replication) with a server on a schedule?
I can quite happily pull up SQL Managerment Studio and sync. on the client, but I want to have something running in the background basically doing this for me (again, on the client). I know I can do it in code, but we've not yet received our Visual Studio package, so for the moment, I want something already written to do it for me.
Surely this must be possible?
Thanks in advance!

I have a problem synching my xda mini s with my pc using vista. A previous thread was unhelpfully closed by Ilya as being off topic; well it isn't on topic anywhere else. At least not according to microsoft's own search engine. Ilya, why not try giving a helpful answer instead of 'not my problem'? My xda will not synch using vista; XP and ActivSync has been perfect. I've tried installing mobile device centre version 6.1 but I suspect vista isn't compatible with Windows mobile version 5.1. Should it be? If not, is there a patch or is upgrading to vista going to cost another couple of hundred pounds to get a compatible mobile device? If so, I'm off to a different operating system. Perhaps, like many others, back to XP and let Microsoft continue to dither around and experiment on others.

When executing an inline insert into command from isqw/w the command executes perfectly. Yet when I try to create a stored procedure with exactly the same insert into statement it will not create. It does not like the database.owner.table prefix on the selected rows. Any suggestions ??

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.
Thanks for your input.

Hi
I have two questions : 1) Linking SQL Server Databases
2) Data Formatting like InputMask
1) I want to know if there is a way to link two seperate SQL server databases (it's tables) within the same server (local server). I created one Global database - with clients, etc. tables. The reason I did it like this is that I have to handle three seperate invoices databases, but using the same clients, etc. tables to get their information from. I used MS Access like this, linking Clients, etc tables from the Clients Database with the three other Databases. It worked fine but now I need some new features like setting the InvoiceNumber to something different, eg . 04/0001 for this year and then 05/0001 for next year. My Access databases can't change this numbers - it's just a autonumber I used. I know some Visual Basic code can make a change like perhaps adding a new column like InvYear and then adding it together with InvoiceNumber to get the Invoice Number, but I want to change it to SQL Server because I want to learn how SQL Server works. I am just starting out and not doing courses.
2) The other thing is I want to know if there is some feature in SQL Server to make data input easier, like a InputMask in Access where you can let a text column be formatted as you want. Eg. for a telephone number, it can store it in the format you made; like (011) 123 4567, not like you typed it : 0111234567.
I would appreciate some help.
Thank you
Corné

I have a requirement to pull data from several large tables residing in a Postgres 8.x (PG) database into our SQL Server 2005 warehouse every night. I have been doing this via data dumps to a file then bulk loading said file into SQL2005 but I am running into character encoding issues and newlines embedded in some of the strings which is causing the bulk loader some problems.
I would like to take advantage of the power of SSIS to move the data. I cannot find a current working OLEDB driver for PG and I cannot find an ODBC Data Flow Source in SSIS to use the ODBC driver that is available for PG so I am stuck.
If someone would be kind enough to shed some light on whether this is possible and if so where I could get the instructions on how to do it I would be most appreciative.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am having one query regarding data transfer using SSIS. If we use
DTS packages for the data transfer between two databases then the source database and
destination database must be on different db servers or instances.Here, I
am talking about the DTS Packages with Distributed Transactions enabled.
I need to know that whether this constraint has been rectified with SSIS Packages or it still persists.
One more thing is that while transferring the data, can we view/insert/update source database or it is locked if the transfer is in process.
Please reply..........
Thanks and Regards,
Rajesh

Hi,
I develop ASP.NET applications and use MS SQL 2000 Enterprise.
Each customer has one database and one custom design application. And, there is a gateway and a central database to get data from all databases.
Supposed there are 10 DBs. I want the data in those 10 databases updating to the central database directly.
So, the gateway can gather all data of 10 DBs from a central DB.
Now, my question is how should I do it in MS SQL 2000? Can I do it with a stored procedure (SP)? If so, how does the SP like?
Or, SP can only perform on it's own DB, but not execute across DBs? If so, how can I do that?
Thanks for advice

I have a web app that has been regulated to a disconnected PC. It's runing IIS and 2.0 with sql server express, but no connectivity. I have changes that are made to some of the data in the db (data, bot schema). There is one particular table that I cannot overwrite, and must extract the data.
What methods are available to do this swap of data between databases? I was thinking of doing something like this:
Track last date that remote db was updated. Upload updated database into data directory, loop through records for all affected tables, any date that was past logged date then update the record if it exists or insert new record, and then loop through the remote db and delete this records that dont exist in the updated db.
This seems intensive and slow - especially as the tables get bigger but I can't think of another solution that can be done by a user using sometime of web interface.

Dear all,
I faced a problem. I found all data/records of tables in a few databases were missing yesterday. I don't know what had happened. Can anyone tell me why? Can anyone tell me how to trace the root of the problem. Any log files I can trace? I fear it will happen again. My server is sql2000 and run on win server 2000.

Hi
Is there a way of comparing the data contained in two separate databases (on the same server)?
I have two databases: DevDB and DB and all I want to verify is that the data in both are *exactly* the same.
Is there a nifty function to do this in SQL Server?
Thanks

If I have to copy data from one database to a temporary database on the same server, which transaction log will be written to as a result? Will it be the DB that the command is run from, the source DB, or possibly tempdb's log?
