How To Compress Text Before Storing In DB?
Feb 15, 2005I was planning on running a service where thousands of text messages are stored. Obviously I'd want to make the most of my DB space, and was wondering if there's some way for SQL to compress text down to the smallest space possible. If not, is there some kind of ASP component I could download to do this? Failing that, I could always write a simple one, which takes the most common letter combinations, and shortens them down to a single character.
Any advice?

SQL 2012 :: Compress Existing Backup File?
Jan 22, 2015I have a SQL 2012 enterprise server, and I'm using Commvault as my backups. So commvault can restore a .bak file to my server, but it cannot use sql compression on the file apparently. So what would be a 150GB .bak backup file is now 600GB. I have to manually upload these files to an auditing firm on an sftp server and the transfer times are now huge.
Is there a way to use something in sql to compress this already existing .bak file down?
SQL 2008 Backup Split/compress/speed
Apr 18, 2008
Is there any improvments in SQL 2008 backup methods such as spliting backup files in manageable size(s), compress the backups and/or improving the speed of backup?
Though there are "commercial" tools available, it would be nicer if Microsoft SQL team can incorporate some core needed features in these areas for Small/Medium size businesses.
This is not a question but a suggesstion.

Compress/Zip Reporting Services Export Options
Dec 4, 2006Hey everyone,
I have an issue where i am sending out files with 30,000+ lines and they are reaching the 11mb, 12mb in size.
This is becoming and issue for us, as we are only allowed to email up to 10mb in size.
I have tried reducing all spaces in the data, removing any graphics etc from the report , but still the excel file is over 11mb. One thing i did find was that, if i export it to excel, then open the file and save as a different file name the file size drops 50% !!
I was wondering if anyone has been able to zip/compress the exported file before it gets emailed?
It would be a great feature for MS to include in the next service pack.. Take advantage of the built in Zip support in Windows..
Look forward to hearing any suggestions that the community may have,
Thanks

Is There A MS SQL Backup Tool That Will Zip Or Compress The Backup Files?
Feb 27, 2007Currently we use a SQL maintenance plan to do a full backup of all our databases daily (about 40 databases on our production server). As you can imagine, this eats up disk space quickly so currently we manually zip the backup files and/or move them to an archive drive. I considered writing an application to walk through the backup folder structure and zip any .bak file it finds, but I know there are some third party tools out there that will backup/restore a MS SQL database.
I was wondering if any of these also zip the backups once they are created. Any recommendations or suggestions are welcome.
SQL2005 Cannot Backup A Restored SQL2000 Database With Unknow Database Full-text Catalog Database
Nov 15, 2007
We replicate a SQL2000 database (DataBaseA) to a SQL2000 database (DataBaseB) by using the Restore function and hasn't change its logical name but only the physical data path and file name. It is running fine for a year. We use the same way to migrate the DataBaseB to a new SQL2005 server with the Restore function and the daily operation is running perfect. However, when we do the Backup of DatabaseB in the SQL2005, it just prompt the error message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup of full-text catalog 'DataBaseA' is not permitted because it is not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog became offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Please note we left the DataBaseA in the old SQL2000 server.
Please help on how we can delete the Full-text catalog from DatabaseB so we can do a backup
Many Thanks

View 6 Replies View RelatedIntegration Services :: Import Varying Number Of Tables Each Time From One Database To Different Database
Sep 9, 2015I am new to SSIS. I have been struggling with this for the past one week. I have a weird task. I need to import several tables from one database to a different server with a new database name. We need to do this at the end of every year. The main problem here is that the number of tables varies every year. You may not have all the tables as last year or may have more tables. So I need to create a dynamic task that takes care of this every year without changing the package.
I have performed the following tasks **
1. Create a new dynamic database. ( I have used Execute SQL Task to do this) 2. Copy all the table structures ( I have used Execute SQL Task to do this)
3. Import Data. This is the main problem. I was trying to create a dynamic connection string with variables as suggested in several forums but I finally came to know that this cannot be done if the table structures are different as the metadata cannot be refreshed at runtime.
4. The final step to create a process to validate the data (the count from each table for both source and destination. I think this can be done with Sql task.
What is the best method to do this? My DBA does not like “Transfer SQL Objects Task” or “transfer Database Task”. I would like to create this as a dynamic process.
Migrating From Sql2000 MSDE Database To Sql2005 Express - Attach Database Errors
Apr 23, 2006I have a medical records system, SoapWare v4.90, that uses MSDE (SQL2000) databases. Due to the 2gb limitation, I am trying to migrate over to SQL 2005 (Standard or Express) which I have heard works fine. The SoapWare has a datamanager that allows me to log in to the MSDE instance, detach the SoapWare databases from msde (as well as do backups, etc) which I can confirm are detached.
Then I log back into a SQL2005 database instance using the datamanager and try to attach the database. This is what their pictured instructions demonstrate. However, I get the following error:
Database 'sw_charts' cannot be upgraded because it is read-only or has read-only files. Make the database or files writeable, and rerun recovery.
Of course, some of the entries will be read only, since doctors have to sign off the charts and are not allowed to subsequently change them. But I should still be able to switch over to sql 2005?!?!?!?
Or... is there a way to attach the databases to SQLExpress manually?
Help pls?
