In Sql 6.5 there was an option to Transfer the db. I used this quite often to make a duplicate test db of my production db. Under 7.0 I haven't found it so easy to do this. DTS wizard hasn't worked well for me. I can get it to transfer tables but not all of the objects. Any ideas? Thanks.
View 5 RepliesHi,
We have a SQL 6.5 database that was expanded larger than was really necessary. I have created a smaller size database and am wondering what the easiest way would be transfer ALL of the data and objects from the existing database into the new one.
Is SQL transfer manager reliable? Are there any better ways?
Thanks,
Sundar.
hope some one can help me

Hi! I am importing data from an Excel file into SQL. I am getting the following error message: Error during Transformation 'DirectCopyXform' from Row number 32. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1
Destination does not allow NULL on column pair 1(source column 'F1'(DBTYPE_R8), destination column 'agentno' (DBTYPE_14))
Anyone know why this is and how to correct it?
Thanks for any help!

I am looking at a way to transfer data from a SQL server into an AS/400. If possible can the data be continously transferred to the AS/400 or are there time constraints that will limit it to say once every two hours.

This question may be a bit naive but I have some data that I would like to transfer from a SQL 7 database to a DB2 database on Linux. Does anyone know how I would go about doing this. I have in the past transferred data from SQL 7 to Oracle and SYBASE using DTS without any difficultly. I cannot remember exactly but presume they were on NT.
Anyone got any ideas/suggestions.
Many thanks

I have to make a historisation script, and I need to transfer data from a database on one server to a database on another server.
I.e. from table T1 in database D1 on server S1 to table T2 in database D2 on server S2
I saw there is something like sp_addlinkedserver, but to be honest, I don't get the syntax correct.
Both servers are SQL2005 servers (but I will have to go from SQL2000 to SQL2005 in the future) and the migration script will be runnning at the source database.
Can you guys help me out on the syntax, or else provide other suggestions on doing this kind of transfer?
I need to append data from a database on one server to a table in a databaseon a different server. Both servers are running SQL 7. How can that be done?Thanks.

I ask for your help for problem of SQL Server 7 DTS .
I got 6 text data files extracted from a SQL server database Sale1 in Company A. I also got a script produced from Sale1 and run it in my company to build a SQL server database A_Sale which structure is the same as Sale1. Then, I transferred these files into my database A_Sale. I have successfully transferred three files (vlet, vlrl, and vlcv), without any trouble. But I met trouble for transferring other three files (vlcl, vlco, and vlpo). For example, the error messages are as:
"Error during Transformation 'DirectCopyXform' for Row number1. …Conversion invalid for datatype on column pair 12 (source column 'Col012'(DBTYPE_STR), destination column 'cl_dob' (DBTYPE_14))."
"Error during Transformation 'DirectCopyXform' for Row number 10825. …Conversion invalid for datatype on column pair 17 (source column 'Col017'(DBTYPE_STR), destination column 'c0_stchdt" (DBTYPE_14))."
- I don't understand why the datatype is not matched? The datatype is 'int' in both source column and destination column and the data for the source column is like 2533222. And, why the error caused for Row 1 for file vlcl and for Row 10825 for file vlco? How to correct the error?
Other errors I met like:
"Error at Source for Row number 24391. …Column Delimiter not found."
- I don't know how to avoid the error at source? My partner in companyA also cannot control to avoid the error, since the file extracted by SQL server.
"Error at Destination for Row number 531377. …Could not allocate space for object '(SYSTEM
table id:-269896619)' in database 'TEMPDB' because the 'DEFAULT' filegroup is full."
- Why the error caused for row 531377 and how to correct it?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Hi I'm new to SQL server.
What I'm trying to do is to automate the import of data from an Excel spreadsheet to a table within SQL Server.
The index of the table has a seed set to increment by 1 and I assume that this is the same as the Autonum datatype in Access.
When I import data I miss out this field as it is autogenerated, but the DTS package fails as it is trying to put a NULL in to this field.
Where am I going wrong....is there something that I should change on the DTS import?
Hi all,
I am working at insurance company that using AS400 as it main server. All transaction data is already kept for about 10 years (or even more..). This data is growing larger from time to time, and after several upgrades (that cost a lot!), my supervisor has an idea to partly move the data from AS400 to SQL Server. (since the cost for upgrading sql server is cheaper than AS400).
So.. let say, we only want to kept data in AS400 from 4 years before until now (2004 – 2007), and the rest of data is kept in SQL Server.
So first, all transaction data from 1997 – 2003 is transferred to SQL and deleted in AS400.
If user queried data and didn’t found the data in AS400, it will search the SQL, if data is found in SQL, then data is transferred back to AS400 and deleted in SQL.
I’m using SQL Server 2000 DTS (use HiT OLEDB) to transfer the data from AS400 to SQL and vice versa.
I wanna ask if anyone has done this before? What’s the difficulties by using this approach? (btw, I will implement the DTS using user control in vb.net)
Or anyone has a better solution to overcome this problem?
Thanks,

I am transferring DB2 data to SQL server 2005 in ssis. the connection i I am using is the IBM OLEDB driver for DB2 which uses the ODBC connection on the machine. The issue is that while transferring data i get errors reg unicode vs non unicode data. the db2 data is showing unicode data, but when i see the datatype in the db2 database it is a varchar. so when i transfer the data to a varchar in sql server 2005, it errors out....meesageis unicode vs non unicode data. Why is the data from db2 coming across as unicode string. Also the transfer works fine in SQL server 2000, why is is not working in sql server 2005. Please help !!!!

I have TABLE1 and TABLE2
TABLE1 (ref,RESOURCE01,RESOURCE02,RESOURCE03,RESOURCE04,R ESOURCE05)
TABLE2 (ref,RESOURCE01,RESOURCE02,RESOURCE03,RESOURCE04,R ESOURCE05)
If TABLE2 has a data in resource 01-05 that isn't in resource01-05 of TABLE1 then I want to added it to the next free slot where ref is the unique key.
Note TABLE2 doesnt have to have all of TABLE1
eg if
TABLE1
01 AAA BBB
02 CCC DDD EEE
03 AAA DDD
TABLE2
01 AAA CCC
02 CCC DDD EEE FFF
03
I would like TABLE1 to be updated to appear like
TABLE1
01 AAA BBB CCC
02 CCC DDD EEE FFF
03 AAA DDD
Where do I even start here?
Hi,
I have read only permission in the source (OLTP) database. The source database is running in SQL Server 2000 and the size is more than 200 GB. I need to pull data from source and load target which is running in SQL server 2005.
Following are the objectives I want to achieve.
Data should be loaded on incremental basis.
Whatever changes take place (Update/Delete) in source, that should be replicated to already uploaded data.
Here I want to mention that, the source database does not have any identification key or timestamp column like Updated_Date by which I can filter the data which are recently inserted or updated into the source and upload the same. The source does not maintain any history data also. So I do not have any track of deleted record also.
I don€™t have any scope to change the schema in the source. In this scenario can anybody suggest me the best approach to achieve the above mentioned objectives?
Can I retrieve only the recent updated or inserted date form transaction log back up. Can log shipping solve the give the solution?
One more question. Say I have a table and I am exporting/importing all the data from/to my target table using SSIS or DTS. In this scenario does using query or using directly the table affects the performance?

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.

I have an interesting challenge. we are not allowed to allow users direct access to data in our SQL Server. Audit requires us to take the data out of our production server and pass it to the user. my situation is i have a table in SQl with over 100,000 records and growing. i want to pass that to an access data base. i am utilizing DTS and a data transform.
i s there a better way? the package is running slow and even appears to freeze. i see this amount of data as growing as well.

Hi Everyone,
Have anyway come across any easy method of transfers DTS packages across two servers which are existing on two different networks.
I haven't been able to use the method mentioned in article "DTS How to...Transfer Packages between Servers.." since the two servers I'm trying to move TO and move FROM are on two different networks which aren't visible to each other for my to register from the same box.
Appreciate if someone to point me to a means of doing this or any articles that explain how to do this..
thank you
