Dbo.Table Of A Database In The .SQLEXPRESS Object Explorer: How To Copy The Dbo.Table To The Another Blank Dbo.Table?

Jan 9, 2008

Hi all,

The following dbo.Tables of Northwind.mdf in my .SQLEXPRESS (SQL Server Management Studio Express) are missing:
dbo.Categories
dbo.CustomerCustomerDemo
dbo.CustomerDemographics
dbo.Customers
dbo.Employees
dbo.EmployeeTerritories
dbo.Order Details
dbo.Orders
dbo.Products
dbo.Regions
dbo.Shippers
dbo.Suppliers
dbo.Territories.

But, I have these dbo.Tables in a different Database "xyzDatabase". How can I copy each of these dbo.Tables to the another blank dbo.Table of Northwind Database?

I right clicked on the dbo.Categories and I saw the following thing:
dbo.Categories
New Table...
Modify
Open Table
Script Table as |> CREATYE To |>
DROP To |>
SELECT To |>
INSERT To |> New Query Editor Window
File....
Clipboard
UPDATE To |>
DELETE to |>
From the above observation,I think it is possible to copy the dbo.Table from the one Database to the Northwind Database that needs to be repaired. Please help and advise me how to do this task or tell me where I can find the Microsoft document that gives the details of this X-copy thing.

Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

P. S. I am using VB 2005 Express to create a project to learn "Calling Stored Procedures with ADO.NET" (see Paul Kimmel's article in http://www.developer.com/db/article.php/3438221) that needs the dbo.Tables of Northwind Database and my Northwind Database has been screwed up for quite a while and needs a big repair.

Transfering MSSQL Database To Server

Sep 9, 2004

Has anyone had a problem transfering a database to a server.
This is the first time I have done this.
I have a site and sqldatabase hosted by a hosting company and I am supposed to transfer my database
This is what I'm doing

From the Start Menu, select "Programs" -> "Microsoft SQL Server" -> "Import and Export Data" then click "Next".
In the "Server" field, type in the Name or IP of the source server (your server), choose "Use SQL Server Authentication," type in your username and password, choose your database from the "Database" field, click "Next".
Note: You can also use Windows Authentication if the SQL server is a local server.
In the "Server" field, type in the hostname of the DiscountASP SQL Server (this is listed in your hosting control panel), choose "Use SQL Server Authentication," type in your DiscountASP database username and password (this was sent in your database order confirmation email), choose your database from the "Database" field, click "Next".
Choose "Copy objects…", click "Next".
Uncheck Use Default Option.
Click Options, uncheck "Copy Database users and database roles", "Copy SQL Server logins", "Copy object-level Permissions".
Leave next window as is, click "Next".
Click "Finish".

It seems to work ok untill it gets to about 90% done then a message says "There has been an error" and gives no more info.
Can anyone help me out

Transfering Text File Of Records In To SQl Server Table

Dec 15, 2000

Jitender Singh at 12/15/00 3:41:02 PM

Hello

I am writing program in VC++ through SQl-DMO calls.My problem is when i when i tranfer(import) a text file(comma seperated) into SQl server through a SQl-DMO method called ImportData which is a method of Bulk copy object.Its is not able to convert the data field in the text file to corresponding value datetime in SQl server whereas other data types are working perfectly.


This is the record i need to convert:

90,MichaelB,Wintriss,Inspection,Paper,11,Job101,1, {ts '2000-12-10 15:54:56.000'},D:public233 and 247233.mcs,

There are about 1000 records like this .the text file is generated by SQl when i export data from Sql server tables.This file has lot of records.Now i need to put the record in the text file into SQl server tables.During which when i pass the text file it gives problem in converting date and time value.I cannot remove the bracket and ts as ,{ts '2000-12-10 15:54:56.000'} it generated by SQl server tables

and this is the date field
{ts '2000-12-10 15:54:56.000'}

Whereas if i export a table in SQl server in Binary mode and then import the file back it works but when do it as text it gives the above error

Pls help me in this i would be very thankful to you.

Note: I am using SQL Server 7.0 version

Does It Store All The Results To Tempdb Database When I Query Against A Large Table Which Joins Another Table?

Jun 25, 2007

Hi, all experts here,



I am wondering if tempdb stores all results tempararily whenever I query a large fact table with over 4 million records which joins another dimension table? Since each time when I run the query, the tempdb grows to nearly 1GB which nearly runs out all the space on my local system drive, as a result the performance totally down. Is there any way to fix this problem? Thanks a lot in advance and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly for your kind advices.



With best regards,



Yours sincerely,

Database Automatically Creates Xxx_Temp Table While Modifying / Updating Table Structure .

Dec 16, 2007

Hello friends,

I am new to the SQL Server 2005 development.

From last 1 week or so, i have been facing very strange problem with my sql server 2005s database
which is configured and set on the hosting web server. Right now for managing my sql server 2005 database,
i am using an web based Control Panel developed by my hosting company.

Problem i am facing is that, whenever i try to modify (i.e. add new columns) tables in the database,
it gives me error saying that,

"There is already an object named 'PK_xxx_Temp' in the database. Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider".

where xxx is the table name.

I have done quite a bit research on the problem and have also searched on the net for solution but still
the problem persist.

Thanks in advance. Any help will be appreciated.

Transact SQL :: Verify Inserted Values From One Table (in CSV File) With Another Table (in Database)

Aug 4, 2015

I am looking for a Sql query to verify the inserted values from one table(in CSV file) with another table(in sql database)

For example: I have below Values column that is present in once CSV file, after my data migration the values get stored in Results table under Message column.

I need to very whether values(1X,1Y) are inserted in Message record "successfully inserted value 1X"

Values (CSV)
1X
1Y

Results Table(SQL)
CreatedDate                   Message
2015-08-04 08:45:29.203  successfully inserted value 1X
2015-08-04 08:44:29.103  TEst pass
2015-08-04 08:43:29.103  successfully inserted value 1X
2015-08-04 08:42:29.203  test point
2015-08-04 08:35:29.203  successfully inserted value 1Y
2015-08-04 08:30:29.203  Test Pass
2015-08-04 08:28:29.203  successfully inserted value 1Y

If all values are inserted:

Output:
All values from values table are inserted successfully
Total count of values inserted: 2
If only few values are inserted, example only 1X from Values table is inserted in Message

Example:
Results Table CreatedDate     Message
2015-08-04 08:45:29.203  successfully inserted value 1X
2015-08-04 08:44:29.103  TEst pass
2015-08-04 08:43:29.103  successfully inserted value 1X
2015-08-04 08:42:29.203  test point

Output:
All values from values are not inserted successfully in result table.

Nov 17, 2011

Any easy way for a batch file or automated process to read from one db and table and what ever entry is missing out of another database + table it writes those missing entries to.

This is a simple table in one db that is filled with usernames, I want to see if there are missing usernames in another db and table and write those entries.

db1.usr_table.usr_name = jdoenew
If jdoenew is missing in the 2nd db I will need to write entries like:
db1.usr_table.usr_name = jdoenew
db1.usr_table.password = tmppassword
db1.usr_table.active = 1

Cannot Truncate Table 'Database.dbo.Table' Because It Is Being Referenced By A FOREIGN KEY Constraint..

Aug 23, 2006

Here is my issue I am new to 2005 sql server, and am trying to take my old data which is exported to a txt file and import it to tables in sql. The older database is non relational, and I had made several exports for the way I want to build my tables. I built my packages fine and everything is working until I start building relationships. I remove my foreign key and the table with the primary key will get updated for the package again. I need to update the data daily into sql, and once in it will only be update from the package until the database is moved over.

It will run and update with a primary key until I add a foreign key to another database.

Here is my error when running the package when table 2 has a foreign key.

[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "TRUNCATE TABLE [consumer].[dbo].[Client] " failed with the following error: "Cannot truncate table 'consumer.dbo.Client' because it is being referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

Database Table Primary Key Question For Database Experts

Jan 17, 2008

Hi, I have a Users table that I use for membership. Now I am using username varchar(30) as the primary key for this table since username will always be unique.I am storing username in UsersInRole table so that I can find what roles each user has.The question I have is regarding how SQL Server actually stores data:I see that when I add users, they are always stored alphabetically sorted on username. I was expecting that all users will appear on the users table in the order they were added.Example: I have 3 users (john, jonah, wilson). Now I added 4 user with username='bob'If I execute select * from users, it returns me (bob, john, jonah, wilson). Look bob is has become the first row of the table.My question: Is Sql server moving 3 older rows to make room for 'bob' and it is also rebuilding part of the index due this new username 'bob'?If this is the case, then it will have big impact if I have 100K users and I add one user that becomes firstrow. In that case huge other rows will have to move.Bottom line, insert, delete will be expensive. I know sql server keeps data physically sorted on PK. But I am concerned here since rows are losing the order in which they were inserted.Thanks
