Compare Tables In Multiple Databases.
Apr 2, 2002Hi,
I need to merge tables from several databases. Before the merge the table contents must be checked to rule out any duplicates.
Is there a most efficient way to do it? Thanks to you all.

Linking Tables From Different Databases Or Querying From Multiple Databases
Dec 10, 2007Dear Readers,Is it possible, like in Access, to link to tables in other SQL databases that are on the same server? I have a query that I originally had in Access that queered from multiply databases. It did this by having those other tables in the other databases linked to the database that had the query.
Merging Data From Multiple Databases With Multiple Tables (all With The Same Structure)
Nov 15, 2006Hi!
I have 7 source databases and one target database, all using the same structure. The structure is made of 10 tables, with foreign key constraints.
I need to merge the source databases into the target (which won't have any data before that process, but will already have the correct schema), and to keep the relationships between the records.
I know how to iterate over the source databases (with SMO foreach), but I'd like to know if someone can advise the best copy method for that context in SSIS ? (I don't want to keep the primary keys, but I need to keep the relationships...)
Any pointer most welcome!
best regards and thanks

Transact SQL :: Compare A Table Against Multiple Tables
Jul 16, 2015I downloaded a day's worth of data into a single table first and named it as Full_Day_Data_Table.(10,000 records)
Later for some other purpose, downloaded the same day's data into five small tables.
Now when I compare the total row count of  Full_Day_Data_Table vs Sum of row counts of five small tables, the row count does not match.Â
So, I would like to know the records that exists in Full_Day_Data_Table and not in small tables.
JOIN Multiple Tables From Multiple Databases
May 23, 2008Hello,
I am in the progress of designing a new section of my database and was thinking of creating a hole new database instead of just creating tables inside the database. My question is can you JOIN multiple tables in an SQL Statement from multiple databases. Ie, In the Management program I have a database called 'Convention' and another one called 'Services', inside the two databases there are many tables. Can I link say tblRegister from Convention to tblUser in Services?
Thanks

Tables Need To Be In Line Across Multiple Databases (was Give Me Your Suggestion)
Mar 1, 2006Hello All,
I have multiple SQL Server 2000 databases all identical in structure (Company1.mdf, Company2.mdf, Company3.mdf). I have a situation where while connected to Company1, i want to create a record in Table1 and have that same record automatically be created within Company2 and Company3.
If i was working with MSAccess, i could use linked tables where i would link Company2 and Company3 to Company1 Table1. This way if any changes are made, all three companies and working from the same record set.
My situation deals with mutiple tables that need to be in line with each other across mutliple databases.
Your suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
Looping Through Importing Identical Tables From Multiple Databases
Jan 30, 2008I'm trying import 7 tables from each of 30 SQL2005 databases into a SQL2005 Consolidation database. I can simply create data flow tasks for each one but instead I would like loop through a list instead.
I've created a table to house the names of the databases from which I want to import the data.
I've created SQL task to return the database names from the table as a "Full Result Set".
I've assigned the result set to a user variable (type = Object) an named the result name 0
What I'd like to do is create a data flow task which connects to each of the databases and imports 7 specified tables from each database appending the table name with my database name in the result set.
I'm stuck on how I'd set the connection strings in my OLE DB Source in my Data Flow task. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

How To Compare Across Two Databases
Dec 13, 2007I have two databases - version 1 and version 2
I have the same table in both versions but the number of columns has changed from version 1 to version 2.
I can get the list of columns with:
select colid, name, col_text from _SCHEMA
where table_name like
'tableA' order by colid
How can I use something like this to compare tableA in dbo.1 to tableA in dbo.2 and just return the columns that exist in dbo.2 that aren't in dbo.1?
I thought something like this might do it, but I get major errors in execution:
use dbo.2 select colid, name, col_text from _SCHEMA
where table_name like
'tableA' and
name not in (use dbo.1 select name from _SCHEMA
where table_name like
'tableA')
order by colid

It is just like comparing two databases.
Do i need to follow the same thread for copying databases which is above. I mean to say the same query.

How To Compare Objects In Two Databases In Sql 2k...
Jun 15, 2003Hi,
I want to compare the production (say prod_db) objects against development database say dev_db.
In Oracle I would run a query using "minus" that is
select table_name from user_tables@prod_db
minus
select table_name from
user_tables@dev_db
what is the equivalent sql in t-sql(or are there any GUI tools to do this).I understand that from prod_db I need to create a link server to the dev_db to run such a query.
Thanks,

Jul 20, 2015Is there an easy way to compare the contents of objects between 2 different databases? For example, say I had 2 databases, My_DB_1 and My_DB_2, each with a SEC_User table. Say I wanted to do an object-to-object comparison between databases to see if there were any differences. Here's some sample SQL:
use My_DB_1
select * from sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities('dbo.sec_user', 'object')
use My_DB_2
select * from sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities('dbo.sec_user', 'object')
Say that the result sets above both returned a SEC_GetUser sproc object ref. Is there a way to write SQL that will compare the SEC_GetUser sprocs (and other objects in the above rowsets) from both databases? For example, if My_DB_1.SEC_GetUser returns an extra column in the result set than My_DB_2.SEC_GetUser then I'd like my comparison SQL to return a single column "IsDifferent" with SEC_GetUser as a row....
SQLCE V3.5: Single SDF With Multiple Tables Or Multiple SDFs With Fewer Tables
Mar 21, 2008Hi! I have a general SQL CE v3.5 design question related to table/file layout. I have an system that has multiple tables that fall into categories of data access. The 3 categories of data access are:
1 is for configuration-related data. There is one application that will read/write to the data, and a second application that will read the data on startup.
1 is for high-performance temporal storage of data. The data objects are all the same type, but they are our own custom object and not just simple types.
1 is for logging where the data will be permanent - unless the configured size/recycling settings cause a resize or cleanup. There will be one application writing alot [potentially] of data depending on log settings, and another application searching/reading sections of data.
When working with data and designing the layout, I like to approach things from a data-centric mindset, because this seems to result in a better performing system. That said, I am thinking about using 3 individual SDF files for the above data access scenarios - as opposed to a single SDF with multiple tables. I'm thinking this would provide better performance in SQL CE because the query engine will not have alot of different types of queries going against the same database file. For instance, the temporal storage is basically reading/writing/deleting various amounts of data. And, this is different from the logging, where the log can grow pretty large - definitely bigger than the default 128 MB. So, it seems logical to manage them separately.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions from the SQL CE experts with regard to my approach. If there are any tips/tricks with respect to different data access scenarios - taking into account performance, type of data access, etc. - I would love to take a look at that.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions,
Bob

Creating A Database From Multiple Databases Accross Multiple Servers
Sep 13, 2007Hi,
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
