Updating A Remote Database Copy
Apr 12, 2008
I have a SqlExpress DB on my server. I have a remote copy for security/backup reasons. Because the DB file(and .bak file) is about 2 Gb, it take a while to copy the whole thing to the remote machine. I believe there is a way to use the log file to simply update my remote copy ratherr than copying whole files, but I don't know what this process is called to research it. I have Brust's book on Sql Programming, but I have not found what I am looking for in there. Can anyone tell me where I should be looking and what this process is called?
thanks,
Steve

Hi,
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,
KT

I have a table that has triggers on insert update and delete. The triggers perform modifications on another table on a remote databased(linked server).
All triggers make a join between the tables inserted, deleted and the remote table.
When running a profile on the remote database it seems that the following query is done on the remote table by the triggers.
"Select * from Database.dbo.Table"
The triggers are the only entities accessing the remote table from the original server so the query must come from them. My only conclusion is that MSSQL server is doing this query for some kind of "optimization".
Has anyone seen this before?
How can I work arond this? The remote table is BIG and this query happening every few seconds in a problem for me.
Thanks
Robert

Hi,
I am having problems setting up database mirroring (SQL Server 2005).
I made a backup of my database and transaction log, I restore this on
my Mirror server with NoRecovery mode. I established the end points and I set the partner
on my mirror server, I then received the error "The remote copy of
database "DBNAME" is not recovered far enough to enable database
mirroring". when attempting to set the partner on my primary server.
The database status on the mirror is "RESTORING".
Please can someone help!
Thanks,

Hi there.
Here is my problem: I'm trying to copy a few tables from an ODBC database located on a PC on my LAN to a SQL Server on a remote server.
To do this I have created a DTS package on the SQL Server which runs smoothly, copying the data as it should, but only as long as it copies the data from the ODBC database on my own computer where I have Enterprise Manager installed. The moment I try to copy data from another PC in the network where Enterprise Manager is not used to execute the DTS package the task fails to run.
I'm quite at a loss here and would very much appreciate a notch in the right direction. Perhabs some source or book which I may read to solve the problem.

Hi and thanks in advance for your help.
I have a dilemma and I need some expert help with this. I am trying to make a copy of a remote Database and then replicated the DB and it's contents on my local machine so I can build a test site to run data with. I tried to remot into the server machine but I guess that feature is not allowed by the honest of the remote machine. Since I build on my local machine and would like to be able to test data on my local machine.... I would like to copy the remote DB to my local computer and then I can run my test app on my local server. The version of SQL on the remote machine is SQL Express 2005 and I have SQL 2005 on my machine. Please give me how to accomplish this please.

hello all,
I am using vb.net in windows form. I have made a module which is connected to sql server 2000.
Now, I want to have a fresh copy of the remote database of SQL Server at my local computer and whenever there is change in remote database(insertions,deletion or updation), my local database copy may gets synchronized(i.e changes get reflected in this local copy).
Can any one help me? If it is possibel by using Vb.net code, it is very well, and if there is some Sql Server wizard that can help me do that, please reply to me.
Thanks in advance.

How to add a task to copy an OLAP database to a remote Sql server in control flow using SSIS 2005? This OLAP database is existed in the remote server and I just want to replace the existing one with the one just been updated in the SSIS package and the last task in the package is to copy the updated OLAP database and replace the one at the remote server. Hopfully during the copy and paste process it will not screw up the reports that are using the OLAP cubes at the remote server as the report data source. Thanks.

I try to copy database from remote SQL Server(6.5) to our local
SQL Server(7.0). I try this way: First, in Enterprice Manager,
I try "NEW SQL SERVER REGISTRATION" using "Register SQL
Server wizard". The remote server give me the IP, login name
and password. then, I try connect option by "login using
SQL Server". But I got message say:"specialted server not found,
Connection open,create file". some times say:"client server access
denied..." some times say:"timeout". What's going on here?
So, I can not get going on with "Import data wizard".
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Any answer would be of great assistance!

Hello all, quick question and then a little background.
Could someone point me in the right direction when it comes to updating remotely deployed instances of a SQL CE database? I don't expect someone to code my project for me, but I'm getting lost in the sea of information and haven't found anything that looks like what we need yet.
What's going on is that I was given the wonderful opportunity to learn SQL.NET programming from the other side of application development. I'm not a beginner programmer by any means, but kind of a newbie when it this level of SQL deployment. What we are trying to do is give our users applications that use a local instance of the larger SQL database we have on the server. We were thinking that deploying SQL CE databases created from the master DB would be a good solution since it is supposed to have updating capabilities, which would be wonderful since then the users wouldn't have to be burdened by having to manually download and update a huge database install file every time we updated the information in the master.
What I'm finding though (after going throught the tutorials), is that the RDA feature (this would only need a pull function) that we were hoping to use requires that you delete the entire table, and then replace. If the master DB has only a few record changes in several scattered tables, it seem that this operation would be similar in size and resource demands as just re-downloading the entire database again (~2.7 gigabytes and growing).
Is there a function that can use a feature on the field properties that can download and replace only those fields/records that have changed intead of basically replacing the entire database?
Sorry if this seems like a painfully obvious question, but I have been looking for a while and haven't been able to find it.
thanks a ton in advance!

Hello everyone.
I'm currently trying to figure out a good way to keep my Local and Remote Databases in sync. Whenever I make changes to one or the other I spend a lot of time manually adjusting the other to match. I want to be able to set up an update page that accesses my Remote database and Local database and Updates the two accordingly.
I really don't know where to start with this one. I'm not sure at all as to how to simultaneously connect to two different databases, on two different servers, and Udate from one another. Does anyone know any good articles to get me started?
Thanks ahead for your replies.

Greetings all
Have another issue with OPENDATASOURCE
The following SQL appears to run successfully:
Update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=******').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.SALESDAY
set STARTDTTM = L.STARTDTTM,ENDDTTM = L.ENDDTTM,CLOSED = L.CLOSED,
CASHEDUP = L.CASHEDUP,CASHINTILL = L.CASHINTILL,CHEQUESINTILL = L.CHEQUESINTILL,
EPSALES = L.EPSALES,EPCUTORETURN = L.EPCUTORETURN,REPFLAG = R.REPFLAG
from OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=******;Password=*****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.SALESDAY AS R inner join
TSADMIN.SALESDAY as L on R.SALESDAYID = L.SALESDAYID where L.REPFLAG = 1
However, all records in the remote table get updated if there are any records satisfying the REPFLAG clause, if more than 1 then I guess the last record in the source set.
Running the same SQL against 2 tables in the local DB works perfectly.
These are both MSDE V8.00.2039 SP4 connecting via RAS dial up.
Any ideas where to focus my attention will be gratefully received
Thanks
<EDIT>
Haven't solved the issue, but staggered around it. I have simply reversed the tables in the SQL and executed at the remote server instead, so it is updating a local table while getting data from a remote table. This functions as it should. Any clues to the above would still be good tho' - cheers

Hi everyone
I have a Stored Procedure mySP that updates a table in a linked server.
The same table is also being updated by other processes in the remote server
Usually mySP updates 10-20 records at a time, and that works fine.
BEGIN TRANSACTION
......
......
UPDATE [REMOTE_SERVER].[DB].dbo.[REMOTE_TABLE] SET VALUE = 2
WHERE ID IN (SELECT ID FROM LOCAL_TABLE)
COMMIT
The problem begins when mySP tries to update 100+ records, it gets a time out probably due to locking issues
(indexes are properly set in both remote and local tables )
I read some articles where they suggest to break the transaction in several batches of a smaller size to avoid locking issues.
Something like:
BEGIN TRANSACTION
.....
.....
DECLARE @Rows int
DECLARE @Batchsize int
SET @Batchsize = 10
SET @Rows = 1
WHILE (@Rows > 0 )
BEGIN
UPDATE [REMOTE_SERVER].[DB].dbo.[REMOTE_TABLE] SET VALUE = 2
WHERE ID IN (SELECT TOP (@Batchsize) ID FROM LOCAL_TABLE)
DELETE TOP (@Batchsize) FROM LOCAL_TABLE
SET @Rows = @@ROWCOUNT
END
COMMIT
But it seems to make no difference.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thank you

I've got a weird one here. I'm running a DTS package on SQL Server2005. It copies a bunch of stored procedures. I renamed them on theoriginating server and ran the DTS again.The came over with the old name and code!I deleted the DTS and built it from scratch, and the same thinghappened.I ran SELECT * FROM sys.objects where type = 'P' on the source serverand the names were correctI'm explicitly checking which sp to copy rather than using Copy all. Ican see the sp namesI've deleted and recreated the sp on the source server using scriptsI've checked the source server nameI've Refreshed everywhereNothing worksWhy is up_Department_GetAllBySchool trying to be be pulled over whenit doesn't exist?Why is up_Department_GetBySchool not being pulled over when it doesexist?I've heard that SQL 2005 pre-SP2 has a problem where renaming anobject that has a text definition (like sprocs, functions, triggers,views) doesn't update the definition. So if you pull that objectdefinition and run it into your new database, it will use the originalscript, which has the original name.I ransp_helptext 'up_Department_GetBySchool'and checked the CREATE statement at the top. Sure enough, it had theold textI asked our NetAdmin to install SP2 on our server. Then I ransp_refreshsqlmodule 'up_Department_GetForSchool'and got this error:Invalid object name 'up_Department_GetAllForSchool'.So even the code which was supposed to fix it, doesn't. Has anyoneelse had this problem, and managed to fix it?--John Hunter

how to copy a content of a table from one remote server to another,. server A does not see server B (B doesn't see A) - I cannot even ping to one from another.I do have SQL Studio installed on server C, which IT team configured to allow access to both A and B.So what I did so far is to periodically:
1. connect from the studio on server C to server A
2. run the following script on server A: SELECT * FROM A.myTable FOR XML PATH('ROOT')
3. copy the result
4. connect from the studio on server C to server B
5. to write something like
DECLARE @xmlData XML;
SET @xmlData = pasting here my result from item 3 above
6. INSERT INTO
SELECT
ref.value .....
FROM @xmlData.nodes('/myElemnet/ROOT')
xmlData( ref );
so it works. now there is a requirement to schedule this update to run periodically and I need to implement it..

We currently have a PPTP connection set up for our developers toaccess our development SQL server through a VPN tunnel. When theyneed to copy tables up to the dev SQL from their local machine theysimply do a DTS copy.However, we are now moving to a thin client solution where they willbe working on a terminal server. They will have access to thedevelopment SQL servers and SQL tools such as EM and QA. However,they will not have access to their local SQL server and, therefore,will not be able to directly perform DTS copies. We have exploredseveral possibilities such as exporting tables to a .csv or .mdb fileand then importing them on the development SQL server but this is notideal because things are lost in that process (e.g. primary keys,field names, data types, etc.)My question is this: Is there a way to export and then import SQLtables without losing dependent objects such as primary keys and datatypes in the process? If any of you are working with a similarsituation I would really like to hear how your remote users copyobjects from their remote location to your SQL servers.

Hi All
One of the step in sql agent job is to execute the SSIS package to copy files from remote shared location to local server where sql server is installed. The account on which SQL agent runs as has access to remote shared location. However SSIS package always fails with following error:
An error occurred with the following error message: "Access to the path '\sharedlocationBCKTST105092008.csv' is denied.".
We have tried using proxies but same issue come with proxy also.
When using proxy, we created a proxy for a user who has access on that shared folder on Windows server(from which files are to be copied). If we login to SSIS server with the above user and execute SSIS package manually it works fine. However if we login with different user and run the job via SQL agent using proxy of the above user, then job fails throwing same above mentioned error
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks

I have my first small SQl Server 2005 database developed on my localserver and I have also its equivalent as an online database.I wish to update the local database (using and asp.net interface) andthen to upload the data (at least the amended data, but given thesmall size all data should be no trouble) to the online database.I think replication is the straight answer but I have no experience ofthis and I am wondering what else I might use which might be lesscomplicated. One solution is DTS (using SQL 2000 terms) but i am notsure if I can set this up (1) to overwrite existing tables and (2) notto seemingly remove identity attributes from fields set as identities.I know there are other possibilities but I would be glad of advice asto the likely best method for a small database updated perhaps onceweekly or at less frequent intervals,Best wishes, John Morgan

Hi,
How do I insert data that I have collected in a local database onto a table on my online ie hosted database which is on a different server?
At the moment I am just uploading all the data to the hosted DB but this is wasting bandwith as only a small percentage of data is actually selected and used.
I thought that if i used a local DB and then update the table on my hosted DB this would be much more efficient, but I am not sure how to write the SQL code to do this!
Do I do some kind of
INSERT INTO sample_table
SELECT xxx
FROM origanal_table
Or is it more complicated than this?
Thanks

Hi guys,
I've been assigned the task of setting up access to our SQL Server 2005 box. A consultant developing for us has accessing to 2 databases and I've set this up fine. It appears however that one of these databases is re-copied over to the server every night to keep data reasonably current.
I'm not interesting in changing this method as I'm not the maintainer (as yet).
Basically I would like to know if I've setup access to this database (it works fine), when the database is updated (with an SSIS package) the account seems to get deleted. Do the original permissions from the source database overwrite those of its destination?
Cheers

I got thrown into a new project that is going to require me to update an SQL server database tables from an Access table on the backend of an Oracle database on another server. At the end of each day the Access dabase will be updated from the Oracle database.
What I need to do, is when the Access database is updated I need to have the table in the SQL database automaticaly updated. When a new record is added to the Access table I need the new record added to the SQL table. When a record is deleted in the Access table I need to keep that record in the SQL table and set a field to a value (such as 0). And when a record is updated in Access, have it updated in SQL.
Needless to say this is a bit out of my area and not sure how to accomplish this.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

i have sql 2005 installed on my personal machine, but our server has sql 2000 on it. the structure of my database was made on the server, but i'm not sure how to update the server copy from my local copy. when i try to export my data from my local machine to the server (or import from my local machine to the server), i get pre-execute errors.
roughly every other week, i'll need to be able to update the server version from my local version, so i'm trying to find the most efficient method. what is the best way to update a 2000 database from a 2005 database? it doesn't matter if i append or overwrite, but i do use identity fields. the error i get when trying to use the import/export wizard is:

I'm using SQL Server Management Studio Express and I'm trying to figure out how to copy a table(s) from my local database to my web hosting database. I know how to do it in 2000, but it's completely different now. Is this feature not allowed on SSMSE? If so, then how do I deploy database tables to a web host?Also, how do you add local database(s) to SSMSE? I tried to use 'attach database' in SSMSE and it wouldn't allow me to navigate to My Documents folder where the database resides. Thanks...
