I am using SQL 2000, 2000 Server. I need to find out how to schedule a
database export import. I have a production database that I need to
easily copy to a test database occassionaly. When I run the DTS
function it won't import the primary keys. It errors. I need to get
all the tables and views from one database into the temporary database
that we use for testing without recreating the temp everytime. Any
suggestions?

Hi,
I have a database on the server which is in production and I would like to create another copy and use it for testing purpose. so the application can point to the test database for testing purpose.
What is the best way to do? I guess I have to name the test one with different name right?
can I do it without detach the production one? or just copy the database - tables structures from the currnet one?
Thanks!
We are setting up a test lab environment with 100 machines. Â We want one master testing db that gets replicated to each to run scripted application tests nightly. Â
My goal is to minimize the amount of work to move this thing to each of the 100 test machines. Â I am wondering if we need to even have the sql local and invest in a monster db server with 100 copies of the db we restore and each test machine point to their own db on that server, or if I should use db mirroring or something to get the master test db to each of those machines instead.
Hi,
I am trying to test a replication or at least get the feel for it on my local copy before I set it up on the real server.
Can I do that by setting my local database as the publisher as well as the subscriber?
I am getting an error message but I am wondering if there are any settings I can change to make this work. Or any other ideas of how to see the replication tool before actually doing it live?
Error message:
"Server 'MyComputerName' is neither a Publisher nor a Distributor, or you do not have permission to access replication functionality on this server.
I might add that I am not only new to the project but also new to MS SQL Server.
Thank you!

I set up DB mirror between a primary (SQL1) and a mirror (SQL2); no witness. I have a problem when I issue command:
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
The error message is:
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy of the database log.
I have the steps below prior to the command. (Note that both servers' service accounts use the same domain account. The domain account I login to do db mirror setup is a member of the local admin group.)
1. backup database DBmirrorTest on SQL1
2. backup database log
3. copy db and log backup files to SQL2
4. restore db with norecovery
5. restore log with norecovery
6. create endpoints on both SQL1 and SQL2
CREATE ENDPOINT [Mirroring]
STATE=STARTED
AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT = 5022, LISTENER_IP = ALL)
FOR DATA_MIRRORING (ROLE = PARTNER)
7. enable mirror on mirror server SQL2
:connect SQL2
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL1.mycom.com:5022';
go
8. Enable mirror on primary server SQL1
:connect SQL1
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
This is where I got the error.
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy
Thanks for any help,

Hello,
if i have a given database (a model) and i want to copy this database in the same database instance. Is it ok to copy the mdf and ldf file and attach the files with a new database name in the same instance.
Or is the datebase name part of the .mdf file?

Now that we have a good programming model in SSIS - the question is whether to write automated unit tests for your packages, and would it generally be a good idea for packages?
Also - if yes to write tests - then where to find more informations regarding How to accomplish that?
hi every one,
i need to test SSIS pacakge which will import data from different database where record count is around 5 millions.
iam planning to test it through c# code as well as manually also.
SSIS source : consist of 7 tables
SSIS destination :consist of 7 tables
Using c# code iam trying to run ssis package through batch file.
i am putting expected rowcount, column count in an excel file and comparing same with destination tables by writing query implementing ADO.Net concept.
am i going right way ,can any one suggest best and productive way to test the ssis package .
what are the other things i need to test it.
do any one can add test cases to it.
S.No
Test Case
1
Verify all the tables have been imported.
2
Verify all the rows in each table have been imported.
3
Verify all the columns specified in source query for each table have been imported
4
Verify all the data has been received without any truncation for each column.
5
Verify the schema at source and destination
6
Verify the time taken /speed for data transfer
7
Fields truncated due to difference in length of the field at destination.

Hello all-I need to check to see if the database is running before I begin all sorts of processing and figured I would do something like this. Any better ways to do this? I want to check to see if the db is up and running and also check to make sure I can connect to it.
Private Function DatabaseRunning() As Boolean
'Checks to see if the database is up and running.Dim objDataConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConnectionString)
Try
objDataConnection.Open()Catch ex As Exception

Hi everybody
Have you ever noticed that you can create database with strange and unusual name with Enterprise manager but not with Query Analizer and through T-SQL code!!?
for example try to create database with name &%Test$
it will be created as i said earlier throgh Database Wizard in Enterprise manager but if you Execute :
Create Database &%Test$
you will receive the following error:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '&'.
I need to create a test database on the live server for performance testing.From time to time, as structural modifications are made to the livedatabase, I'd like to be able to delete the test database and replace itwith a new copy of the live database. Is there a simple way to do this witha script or other? Thanks!

I currently have a test sql server database and I am trying to refresh it with the production sql server data - to get the production current data.
If I copy the production database.mdf file and the database.ldf file from the from the production server and replace it with the test database database.mdf file and database.ldf files and then restart the database, would this give me the production current data, please advise. - If not could you please advise on how I could get the productions current database.
Many thanks for your help.
A test database that we used in one of our implementation pilots wasabandoned around 4 months back. The database when abandoned had a logfile size of less than 500MB. The log file has been steadily bloating(just came to my attention) and has reached 8.5GB. The database hasnot been used since abandoned 4 months back at 500MB. Considering thefact that our live DB has a combined (data + log) file size of lessthan 2GB I do not want to delete the database before exploring thecause.Any ideas??? Thanks and appreciate your helpSQL Server 2000
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello I am a software developer with minimal SQL server administration skills. Currently I am using SQL Server 2000.I need to know if there is a way to copy a particular table from a database, and to copy the table into a different database.Basically on a project I am working on we are using a table named "Customers" from a database named QTR. We need to copy this database table into a different database named "Research". How can this be done? Is if very complicated?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have phrased this question here once before but no one could answer it, so please let me know if you think you know what the problem is.
I have a Test Environment on Server2 restored from the production environment on Server1. Production is publishing to a subscriber on Server3. The problem is that even though I have truncate on checkpoint = TRUE set for the Test environment, the log fills up (all the way, not even truncate transaction with no_log fixes it).
The log size is 750MB, with a data portion of about 3GB. Is this somehow related to the fact that SQL Server still thinks the tables in the test environment are marked for replication? I have noticed it believes this becuase I am not allowed to drop tables on Test, even though Test is not even set up as a publishing database.
Other information:
1) The recovery interval on Server2 is 3 minutes.
2) I am frustrated
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We're using SQL Server 2000 as back end in our web project. The problem is we've 3 different copies of same database - one each for Development, Test and Production sitting in 2 different machines.
My question is - is there any tool for comparing the objects (tables, stored procedures, etc) ?
Thanks,

Hi,
Is there any tool available to migrate the data from the SQL Server
test database to SQL Server production database. Data Migration should
be based on a condition which can be given as an input for a table by
the user. The dependant tables also should be migrated based on the
condition. i.e data subsetting based on the matching conditions.
Ex : Salary > 2000
The rows of the table which matches the condition alone need to be
migrated for the corresponding table. Also its dependant table's
rows should be migrated based on the given condition. Please help me
with a tool which can automate this.
Thanks,

Hello,
I have an asp.net application which connects to SQL Server 2005 database.
One out of 15 times (approx) the applicaiton does not make connection to the database and an exception is thrown.
I am not sure how to debug this. Should I write some code which can make connections in a loop to test how much stress the sever can handle?
Kindly suggest some ideas. Thanks.
Database 'TEST' is already open and can only have one user at a time.
I also tried this command but having the same error.
Use Master
GO
Select * from master.sys.sysprocesses
Where spid > 50
            And dbid=DB_ID (‘StuckDB’))  -- replace with your database name
I am a SQL lightweight and I tried to update the data on the test SQL server with the data on the production server and now the test SQL server won't start.
I was trying to move a sql database from our production server to our test server and things got mucked up. I think where I went wrong is that I tried to backup the database on the Production server and then restore it to the test server. I think I should have backup the production server and then detached the databases from the test server and then attached the backups. I got in a hurry and had an attitude that SQL is so good that if I mess up, I can recover.
These are the databases I recovered to test server:
Builder
CSales
CIB
Master
Model
MSDBdata
Now SQL server won€™t start and I get the error message that the database Model is in the middle of being restored. We are on SQL 2000. I tried to start from a command line with the €“f switch and it still can€™t come up.
Should I reinstall SQL and then attach the databases?
Do I need to bring over the Master, Model and MSDBdata data bases from the production servers.

I am attempting to create a Test db from a full backup of the production db. With 2012, I cannot do it the the way i had done it in previous versions (and now i understand why because of Logical names).
The Test db runs in the same instance as Prod db.
I attempted to run this but come up with errors. This is what i executed:
RESTORE DATABASE TEST FROM DISK = 'E:<path>FULL.BAK'
WITH REPLACE, RECOVERY,
MOVE 'PROD' TO 'E:<path>TEST.MDF';
The errors are all cannot execute due to PROD is in use.
