I have to DBs. One is the original and the other is for testing. They both have similar data structure. Wanted to know if there is a way to update tables contents in one db with data that is in the other one.
View 4 RepliesAre there any perfmonace or query optimization limitations or issues that arise when issueing a fully qualified query across multiple databases on the same Instance of SQL Server. In other words are all features of query optimization fully supported in queries that span databases on the same Instance.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm trying to create a database that takes specific information from a number of databases on different servers to make some reporting that we have much easier.
I'm pretty new to SQL so I'm not sure of the best way to proceed. I read an article that suggested I use the OPENROWSET command. The problem is, the version of SQL that came with one of the programmes we use is limited and will not allow you to turn on the allow "Ad Hoc distributed Queries" so the SLQ statement will not execute.
I'm confused why it won't let me to connect through ODBC as I've created a web page that selects data from this database with no problems!
Here is the SQL statement that I've written to make sure it is the correct one (on the msdn library page it said that this was the ODBC connection):
SELECT a.*
FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL','DRIVER=(SQL Server);SERVER=APPOLOACT7;UID=sa;PWD=***************',
'SELECT * FROM MDCTestAndDev.dbo.TBL_CONTACT') AS a
I've also created the ODBC connection using the tool on Administration Tools>Data Sources ODBC
Any help would be greatly appreciated (also any ways of selecting from one database and inserting it into another will be helpfull)
Thanks
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
Hello,
We have an environment with 7 servers that are running replication with one another and I'm wondering if there are any tools or experiences that any of you might have that may assist in the auditing of these servers. The data should be in synch accross the boards for all tables, but sometimes problems can arise such as replication not being set up properly, stored procedure's being out of synch, or data gliches etc.
In dealing with these issues we have an in-house written program which analises each table on each server and takes a snapshot and does column by column compare. We also have another program that will synch the data up (basically a delete/insert statement on the publisher). This process can take up to 3 weeks for our quarterly update of every table. I'm wondering if anybody has used any tools such as in SSIS or a third party tool and has done or is doing something similar to what we are doing now. If so, are there any tips you wouldn't mind sharing on how our process might be sped up?
Thanks,
Phil

I have 1 table in my db that I have imported from a txt file using DTS.
In my database "DOJ" I have a table named "DOJGRAB" with ALL my data fresh from a import using DTS.
Also in "DOJ" are 6 other tables (NAME, PERSON, etc...)
How can I parse the columns out from my DOJGRAB table to fill existing columns in my other 6 tables? Basically a copy of specific columns from DOJGRAB to their proper places in the other tables.
Can somebody post an example of the syntax I would use to copy a column from one table to another? Thanks!
First thanks for your time.
We have 4 clustered SQL2000 Servers each contains information specific to its application related to customer information in a casino player tracking database. My problem is as follows On the Playertracking database I can join and return information from the tables there with no problems the performance accross the decently sizable transactional based table is pretty decent. The problem is I need to filter this query down by the Type of machine the customer plays. The child key exists in the playertransaction table the parent key is on another server. Here is the lay out of the tables unecessary information from the tables were truncated for brevity.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PlayerSession] (
[PlayerId] [int] NOT NULL ,
[Mnum] [int] NOT NULL ,
[CoinIn] [money] NOT NULL ,
[CoinOut] [money] NOT NULL ,
[Games] [int] NOT NULL ,
[Jackpot] [money] NULL ,
[Win] [money] NULL ,
[TheoWin] [money] NOT NULL ,
[PlayerMod] [tinyint] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
-- Player Demographics information
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Player] (
[PlayerId] [int] NOT NULL ,
[Status] [char] (1) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[Title] [varchar] (5) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[FirstName] [varchar] (40) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[MiddleName] [varchar] (40) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[LastName] [varchar] (40) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[SSN] [varchar] (16) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
) ON [PRIMARY]
--Machine Information that links to Machine Type table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Machine] (
[MNum] [int] NOT NULL ,
[MachineTypeId] [smallint] NOT NULL ,
) ON [PRIMARY]
-- Machine type code table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MachineType] (
[MachineTypeId] [smallint] NOT NULL ,
[Denom] [int] NOT NULL ,
[Par] [decimal](6, 2) NOT NULL ,
[GameType] [varchar] (40) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
) ON [PRIMARY]
From the server where all the player information is ran I can query the linked database for the machine and machine type information like this.
SELECT m.MNum, mt.MachineTypeId, mt.GameType, mt.DisplayType
FROM ACCTV.Accounting.dbo.Machine m INNER JOIN
ACCTV.Accounting.dbo.MachineType mt ON m.MachineTypeId = mt.MachineTypeId
This is the information I am trying to get out but the query times out on me.
SELECT Player.PlayerId, Player.FirstName, Player.LastName, SUM(PlayerSession.CoinIn) AS sumCI, SUM(PlayerSession.CoinOut) AS SumCO,SUM(PlayerSession.TheoWin) AS SumTheo, AVG(PlayerSession.TheoWin) AS AvgTheo, SUM(PlayerSession.Win) AS SumWin, AVG(PlayerSession.Win) AS AvgWin, mt.GameType
FROM Player INNER JOIN
PlayerSession ON Player.PlayerId = PlayerSession.PlayerId INNER JOIN
ACCT.Accounting.dbo.Machine M ON PlayerSession.Mnum = M.MNum INNER JOIN
ACCT.Accounting.dbo.MachineType mt ON M.MachineTypeId = mt.MachineTypeId
GROUP BY Player.PlayerId, Player.FirstName, Player.LastName, mt.GameType
The other option would be some sort of SubQuery but I dont know how to return results from the subqueries to the root query to be returned to the restulting recordset. I am not necessarily looking for an answer more of looking for a direction to go to find my solution.
Thanks again for your help.

Hello, all
I have developed a SSIS package using a transaction
1. Users upload excel file to web server(139.223.15.xxx)
2.Excute SSIS package in web server to import excel file to SQL SERVER 2005(139.223.3.xxx)
If web server and SQL server are in the same network zone, the package will work successfully.
However, the two servers are in the different network zone, it encounters an error :
DTS can't enlist OLE DB in distribution transaction. Error Code: 0x8004D00E
How do I set any configurations?
Environment:
Web server:windows 2003 server sp1 ent
SQL server 2005 ent:windows 2003 server sp1 ent
SSIS: isolation level-->read committed
Hi,
Is there a way to take a snapshot of a table at precisely the same time on multiple servers and write the table snapshot to another 'work' database? I'm asking in this forum hoping that perhaps SSIS has a built in tool to help with this. I'm wanting to audit table(s) accross seven different servers. In order to do this I want to make sure that I have the table at the same moment in time on all the servers. I plan on using the tablediff utility to then compare each table on each server against one another. If somebody knows a better method to do this please let me know.
Thanks,
Phil
We are in the midst of cleaning up database01. There are objects in database01 that are widely used in store procedures that reside in database02.
Problem is: I need to know which tables and view from database01 are in use by store procedures in database02. This is important because if I accidently decommission tables that are currently in use by production class s-procedures, it will not be pretty. A sample output could look like:
StoreProc UsingObject
sp001 ctblCodeName
sp002 tblUnitSales
so003 tblSalesTrans
.......... .................
I am not a programmer and none of our programmers here claim that there is any solution to this problem without spending thousands on s/w licenses. Any simple solution + code snippet that will help me resolve this problem by myself would be incredibly valuable.

Hello,
Not sure if data minimg can help me solving this type of inquiries. Thanks in advance for any pointers you could provide me.
Problem:
We have many dimensions with many levels. Sales directors will sometimes note a drop or a spike when looking at one of the dimensions members, most of the time at a high level.
Example, For Q4 07, the aggregation of Q4 Billing plus remaining Q4 Backlog dropped by $10M in America for the Automotive business from week 4 to week 5 while it was forecasted to remain stable.
The immediate question that will be sent to the guys in charge of this business is "What happened?".
Obviously evyone struggle to answer these questions eveytine there is a drop anywhere.
Using classic tools, they will try to spot a single anomaly or determine if this is accross the board and what are the concurent factors like lower than expected shipments combined with some orders cancellations.
The drop-off can lie in a single product or customer location, in which case it is fairly easy while time consuming to spot the anomaly using classic drill-down approach.
The drop-off can also be more wide spread or caused by a combination of factors like unable to ship in time, orders cancellations and sales credits in which case it is more difficult to spot where is the anomaly and explain it.
So I wonder if there is any way that I could use data mining to make the entire process of detecting anomalies accross dimensions levels, members and measures more straight-forward for end-users.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Philippe
I am new to programming in SQL and in VB. I use VWD to create web applications with a Hosted SQL database, locally though the databases are created in SQLExpress through Visual Web Developer.
I have used the SQL Publishing Wizard to upload my local data to the web sql server. But, I'd like to have the same local database as is on the web, which is being updated by users, both data and user / membership data but am not sure how to create an easy, or even programmatical way to update both databases periodically.

Hiya!
I'm developing an app. using SQL Server 7 (as the back end) for a company supporting approx. 200 unrelated clients, all in different locations. There is no LAN or WAN connection between them, so we'd probably need to use TCP/IP. The problem is as follows: We have dynamic reports in our app. which are run based on data in two tables. Whenever we add a new report we'd like to send it to all of our clients i.e. update their tables to reflect the additional rows of new report info. How would this best be handled, by DTS or Replication or BCP? And how could it be done with either?
Thanks,

There are 5 stored procecures need to update to 50*10 = 500 databases.
These 5 stored procedures each has many 'Go' keywords and 4 of 5 with more than 8000 characters.
What might be the best way to loop execute them automatically, instead of
isql/w to each database connection to run the script?
I had bumpped by 'Go' keywords error and limitation of max varchar of 8000 error.

View 2 Replies View Relatedwe have a new requirement that calls for also (in addition to RS's automatic directory updates) updating an organizational application database with metatdata about instances of scheduled reports, or alternatively having our app query RS's metadata for such info.
So, let's say we have a report called Sales Detail, and it runs at 8am every day of the week for client A thru the scheduling mechanism that comes with RS. Each time it runs to completion, an entry would have to be made in our organizational database representing a new run (instance) of the report under the client for whom it was run, in this case A.
Forgetting for the moment potential issues with a reporting system interfering with the transactional, or vice versa, can datasets in RS also do updates?...or can the scheduling mechanism in RS be extended to also log info to other places?...or is the metadata kept by RS (about instances of reports) easy to get to and decipher, and possibly be extended to record for which client this particular instance was run?
I would like to write a query that will join two tables in separate databases (same server). Then update a field in one table using data and criteria from the other.
Its easy to do this in Microsoft Access by linking the tables using ODBC, but I found its not so simple to do directly in SQL Server
Thanks.

We have recently migrated quite a databases around 20 from SQL 2000 and 2005 to SQL server 2008R2.
I am using Ola's script for index maintenance for those with compatibility level above 80 as i heard it supports that way.
Hence separated in 2 way job where for those with compatibility level 80, we are running job with below query on each database with 80 as compared
USE ABC
GO
EXEC sp_MSforeachtable @command1="print '?' DBCC DBREINDEX ('?', ' ', 80)"
GO
EXEC sp_updatestats
GO
I am not sure if this is the only way in for those databases, because we are seeing the database getting because of that somewhere using above query.( seems log file filling very rapidly).
But above is not the case with those databases , with compatibility 90 and above.
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.

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.
