Copy The Table Structure

Nov 7, 2005

Hi,

In SQL Server, Is there any DDL available to copy a table structure alone and not the data,

I believe 'SELECT * into new_table from table1' will copy both structure and data as well.

Please advice,

Thanks,
MiraJ

We have SQL Enterprise Manager (8.0).  Is there any way to Copy a Table from one database to another with only the Structure (design) - not all the Data? 
I can't find any option in the Import Data Wizard that only copies the Table structure.
 Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

Copy SQL Express Table Structure To SQL Server

Dec 16, 2005

How does one generate Transact-SQL for table structure in SQL server express 2005?
I have very limited access to an SQL server database (using rudimentary web based interface) for my hosted website.  I am ready to deploy an application that was developed with Visual Studio 2005 using SQL server express as the database.  I have four tables that I want to copy (structure only) from "express" to the hosted SQL server.  I think I need to generate Transact-SQL statements to "create" the table structure, then run these statements as a stored procedure on the web based SQL server.  I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to generate the code from SQL express 2005.  Anyone had any experience with this?
thanks.

Copy Table Structure To A New Table

Apr 24, 2005

Hello everyone,
I have a local MSSQL server (I guess it's called MSDE), with some tables that I would like to use as a template for a set of new tables. I would simply like a Stored Procedure that takes these 3 tables, makes a copy of their structure (not data, since they will be empty), and name them by using a parameter given to the SP. I have made something that I thought would work, but after testing it a bit more, it seems to forget default values for the fields, which is of course not good enough :). I hope that someone can tell me how to duplicate these 3 tables, including every detail for the fields!

Copy Structure ? Possible?

Oct 16, 2006

I just installed SQLEXPRESS on XP Prof. It is working fine. I want to know if there is a way to copy a table structure so I could create clones. I need about 300 tables with identical structure but different name for each one.

Also I am wondering if there is a way to ADD a table to SQL database. It is kind of a long shot but I will try to explain. I have about 200 tables in old Visual dBase format (v7.1). I would like to convert them to SQL Server tables. I found a company that offers an app that converts them to MySQL. I tried and it kind of works. I could open the output file in SQL Server but it is not a table but a kind of csv file with INSERT commands. I had to run it. So far it did not compile but in the future if those bugs (in their app) could be corrected I may end up with a single table which I may want to include in one of my databases. Is it possible?

Thanks.

Copy Database Structure

Apr 13, 2000

Can anyone tell me;

Is there anyway to copy an entire database structure (layout of column definitions and character formatting)?

Or do I have to delete the relationship, then the child first?

For testing purposes, if I screw one up, I would like to be able to start with another copy.


Thanks

Copy Database Structure

Nov 1, 1999

Hi all,

I want to copy a production database schema to an archiving database, only
the structure : tables, views, defaults, rules,UDTs. For achieving that
I am trying to use SQL/DMO functions, "CopyAllTables" for example. My script works with no error but unfortunately the destination database
contains no objects. Why, have I missed something ?
Does anyone know how to do that?

Many thanks for your help

Copy Just The Database Structure Not The Data

Feb 19, 2007

I have been working on my windows app, using SQL Server 2005 (& C#) but I now have loads of junk data, so I want to copy the structure without any data to a new set of files that can become the production version.

I assume I can use backup and restore in future when I want a copy of my production data to use for future testing.

How would I take just one table from my test database and add it to my production database without retyping the design?

Apart from the size limitation is there any advantage in buying a version of SQL Server over using the Express edition?

Copy Database Structure But Not The Data

Feb 13, 2008

I'm looking to create a new version of a database but with completely reloaded data - so I want to retain the database structure but none of the data.

Is there an easy way (read: without a DBA on staff) to copy an existing database structure - preferably with views and stored procedures - and not take the data along for the ride?

Thanks in advance for suggestions...!

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 :: Table Structure - Inserting Data From Other Temp Table

Aug 14, 2015

Below is my table structure. And I am inserting data from other temp table.

CREATE TABLE #revf (
[Cusip] [VARCHAR](50) NULL, [sponfID] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, GroupSeries [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [tran] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [AddDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [SetDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [PoolNumber] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Aggregate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Price] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [NetAmount] [VARCHAR](max) NULL,

[Code] ....

Now in a next step I am deleting the records from #revf table. Please see the delete code below

DELETE
FROM #revf
WHERE fi_gnmaid IN (
SELECT DISTINCT r2.fi_gnmaid
FROM #revf r1, #revf r2

[Code] ...

I don't want to create this #rev table so that i can avoid the delete statement. But data should not affect. Can i rewrite the above as below:

SELECT [Cusip], [sponfID], GroupSeries, [tran], [AddDate], [SetDate], [PoolNumber], [Aggregate], [Price], [NetAmount], [Interest],
[Coupon], [TradeDate], [ReversalDate], [Description], [ImportDate], MAX([fi_gnmaid]) AS Fi_GNMAID, accounttype, [IgnoreFlag], [IgnoreReason], IncludeReversals, DatasetID, [DeloitteTaxComments], [ReconciliationID],

[Code] ....

If my above statement is wrong . Where i can improve here? And actually i am getting 4 rows difference.

I Can Really Use Some Help.Table Structure

May 4, 2004

How can I setup a table structure for the diagram shown in the attached bitmap?

1) I need to create a product using labour and materials.
2) I need to create hardware using labour and materials.
3) I need to be able to include some hardware in some products.
4) Some materials in the product are made of a culmination of materials. E.G., Concrete is made of sand, stone, and cement.

Any suggestions?

So far I have :


USE NORTHWIND

Create Table tbProducts (
ProductID int NOT NULL,
Product varchar(50)
)

go

ALTER TABLE tbProducts
ADD CONSTRAINT tbProducts_pk PRIMARY KEY (ProductID)
GO

CREATE Table tbMaterials (
MaterialID int NOT NULL,
Material varchar (50)
)

GO

ALTER TABLE tbMaterials
ADD CONSTRAINT tbMaterials_pk PRIMARY KEY (MaterialID)
GO

CREATE Table tbLabour (
LabourCode char (2) NOT NULL,
Labour varchar(50)
)

GO
ALTER TABLE tbLabour
ADD CONSTRAINT tbLabour_pk PRIMARY KEY (LabourCode)
GO

CREATE Table tbProductMaterials (
fkProductID int NOT NULL,
fkMaterialID int NOT NULL,
Quantity Float NOT NULL
)

GO
ALTER TABLE tbProductMaterials
ADD CONSTRAINT tbProductMaterials_pk PRIMARY KEY (fkProductID, fkMaterialID)
GO

ALTER TABLE tbProductMaterials
ADD CONSTRAINT tbProductMaterils_fk FOREIGN KEY (fkMaterialID)
REFERENCES tbMaterials (MaterialID)

GO
ALTER TABLE tbProductMaterials
ADD CONSTRAINT tbProductMaterils_Product_fk FOREIGN KEY (fkProductID)
REFERENCES tbProducts (ProductID)
GO

CREATE TABLE tbProductLabour (
fkProductID int NOT NULL,
fkLabourCode char(2) NOT NULL,
Manpower int NULL DEFAULT(0),
Hours float NULL DEFAULT(0.0)
)

GO

ALTER TABLE tbProductLabour
ADD CONSTRAINT tbProductLabour_pk PRIMARY KEY (fkProductID, fkLabourCode)
GO

ALTER TABLE tbProductLabour
ADD CONSTRAINT tbProductLabour_fk FOREIGN KEY (fkLabourCode)
REFERENCES tbLabour (LabourCode)

GO

ALTER TABLE tbProductLabour
ADD CONSTRAINT tbProductLabour_Product_fk FOREIGN KEY (fkProductID)
REFERENCES tbProducts (ProductID)

GO

CREATE TABLE tbHardware (
HardwareID int NOT NULL,
Hardware varchar(50)
)

go

ALTER TABLE tbHardware
ADD CONSTRAINT tbHardware_pk PRIMARY KEY (HardwareID)
GO


CREATE Table tbHardwareMaterials (
fkHardwareID int NOT NULL,
fkMaterialID int NOT NULL,
Quantity Float NOT NULL
)

GO
ALTER TABLE tbHardwareMaterials
ADD CONSTRAINT tbHardwareMaterials_pk PRIMARY KEY (fkHardwareID, fkMaterialID)
GO

ALTER TABLE tbHardwareMaterials
ADD CONSTRAINT tbHardwareMaterials_fk FOREIGN KEY (fkMaterialID)
REFERENCES tbMaterials (MaterialID)

GO
ALTER TABLE tbHardwareMaterials
ADD CONSTRAINT tbHardwareMaterials_Hardware_fk FOREIGN KEY (fkHardwareID)
REFERENCES tbHardware (HardwareID)
GO

CREATE TABLE tbHardwareLabour (
fkHardwareID int NOT NULL,
fkLabourCode char(2) NOT NULL,
Manpower int NULL DEFAULT(0),

REFERENCES tbLabour (LabourCode)

GO

ALTER TABLE tbHardwareLabour
ADD CONSTRAINT tbHardwareLabour_Product_fk FOREIGN KEY (fkHardwareID)
REFERENCES tbHardware (HardwareID)
GO



This table structure does not include anything about accounts and item 4) making materials from 1 or more other materials (E.G., Concrete).

Any hints how to incorporate these outstanding items?

Structure Table ..

Dec 13, 2007

I'm new in creating tables. and I was asked to create table(s) to capture information using SQL server 2005 (express edition)

please read below and share your thoughts and opinions o what's the efficient and best way to structure the tables.

I need to capture user's input daily and every hour, text can be from 20-100 characters, and my company is expecting to have 50,000+users in the future...Also the hrs's text can be stored for max 120 days, after that data would be deleted from the table(s)
An example is put all together, (not sure if it is the right and efficient way)

An example is put all together, (not sure if it is the rigth and effectient way) and if database would support that.. and if it will be fast enougth to search for data

(table structure) - (example with 3 users)
userId | timestap | message
1 12/12/2007 10:00 some message
1 12/12/2007 11:00 some message
1 12/12/2007 12:00 some message
1 12/12/2007 13:00 some message
1 12/12/2007 14:00 some message
2 12/12/2007 10:00 some message
2 12/12/2007 11:00 some message
3 12/12/2007 12:00 some message
3 12/12/2007 13:00 some message
3 12/12/2007 14:00 some message ...etc..

Best Structure For The Table

Feb 11, 2008



Hi,
I have one field "Status" with 15 different types of values. Like 1, 2, 3, 4 .. 15.
Now this Status field contains the values like this:
Id Status
1 1,2
2 3
3 1,2,3
4 13,15

What is the best way to organize this information in SQLServer table?
My idea is Create one table with the following volumns: ID, Status1, Status2, Status3, ... Status14, Status15.

Now the above data look like this:
Id Status1 Status2 Status3 ... Status13 Status14 Status15
1 1 1 0 0 0 0
2 0 0 1 0 0 0
3 1 1 1
4 0 0 0 1 0 1

So, In future If they add new column they can easily add column like status16.
And status table look like this
Status
StatusID Description
1 a
2 b
..
15

Thanks in advance

Question On Table Structure

Jun 24, 2007

 All,On my aspx page i have 2 sets of checkboxlists, each with a number of items and i am storing that info in my db. currently i have my table set up this way: InfoID--PK autoUserID-intCheckBoxList1ID-intCheckBoxList2ID-int  So a user can select more than 1 item in each checkbox, so this table will contain multiple user-ids and each id from the respective checkboxes. My question is, is there a better way to store this data? I hope this is clear, any input would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Sth Confusing About Table Structure

Oct 27, 2007

Hi,I have a table for storing my picture albums here it is:CREATE TABLE [UserAlbum] ( [ID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1)    NOT NULL , [UserID] [int] default(0) , [AlbumName] [nvarchar] (100) NULL , [Audience] [int] default(0) , [Date_added] [smalldatetime] NULL , CONSTRAINT PK_CmmNet_userAlbum_ID PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( ID )) ON [PRIMARY]GO
it has a field called "audience" as the name defines i want to choose who will see my albumsit is integer and as follows:0 value=everyone1=friends only2=private
as i started to write a query for it i came into this problem:  for exampleif i write SELECT * FROM UserAlbum where   audience=1 then only friends can see the infowhat happens to everyone with value of 0?when i set it to 0, friends should also be able to see the info because it is set for everybody
i noticed i should use "in cluase" like thisSELECT * FROM UserAlbum where   audience in ('0','1') > so in this way both everyone and also friends can see the info
or maybe i should add 3 different fields for private,public,friends
it seems to be simple but at the same time harddoes anyone have a  suggestion?

Database Table Structure

Jan 29, 2008

Hi i have a student table and also an societies table,  and a student can belong to as many societies as possible, for example student John Taylor belongs to the Football society, rugby societey and dance society, where as student Jim Jenkins belongs to the Football society, rugby society, arts society and graphics society.
My tables so far look like this;
STUDENTS; student_id, student_name
SOCIETIES;  society_id, society_name
 
My question is how can i make the scenario above reflect in my table structure, would i need to create another table, if so what fields or columns should i place in this new table, thank you.

Same Table Structure On Different Databases

Apr 16, 2008

I'm a VB.net programmer working in an environment that doesn't have a true sql db administrator.  We have a situation where we're thinking about adding a new database (db2) with the same Tables used in an existing database (db1).  We were hoping to avoid this, but circumstances are forcing us to think about it.  Are there any sql tools out there to maintain a dual-db like this?    What are the main disadvantages to this?
