Ok. Here is what I need to do. I don't even know if it is possible. I have a production server and a db backup server. In a perfect world, I want to be able to place a copy of my databases (users and all) on the backup server and have it update (all changes) regularly.
I messed with DTS but it errors out because I don't have user accounts set up on the backup server. (I'm not entirely sure it does anything I want to do anyway)
I am very well versed on manipulating data using passthrough queries through access or the command object in ADO/VBA but this problem requires a sql server side solution and I have been assigned the task
Scenario
Access via an ODBC link cannot view Sql table data that uses a BigInt as a primary key. Access can update the data, insert data ands delete data to these tables - but viewing (by design) returns the actual count of the rows but each field is populated with #deleted.
I can view the table data if I use a passtyhrough query but performing row level and field level edits from there is impossible. Not all people have Studio manager so that is not an option.
We are moving away from our legacy application and the development company has already developed the schema using the BigInt so changing that to a numeric or integer is out of the question. My boss has determined that using a set of bridge tables with identical tables in a different database where we replace the bigint with int will work - we can view the data in the "bridged" database and even update it from select queries and simply by opening the table in view mode from Access.
Here is the hard part (for me) because I have never done this. I can write SQL and understand the security/roles etc, but I have never administered SQL server regarding server side triggers and stored procedures - I have always used the command object or passthrough queries to deal with sql stored procedures. I need to either
A)Create some trigger behind the tables in my bridge table that will fire a stored procedure to replicate the data to the bigint database. They are both on the same sever.
B)Somehow create a "mirror" that always replicates from my bridge database tables (5 of them) to the new database.
I like the script table to.... function is sql server 2005, but I was wondering if there was a way to do this for the entire database.Like if I want to create the database and all the tables inside it without having to copy each individual table's code. Know how to do this? Thankee.
I am developing an application that uses SQL Server 2000 for the back end. I am at the stage where some modules in the app can be tested while I finish development on some others. I run my own tests against SQL Server running on my own PC but for other people to test I have set up another server with SQL Server 2000 and have restored my database there.
My question is as follows: I would like any changes to my database (structure and data) to be replicated on the test server's database (not necessarily immediately, but without much delay). I've heard the buzz words (log shipping, replication, etc) but would like some advice on the best way to proceed. At the moment I don't need any data back from the test server and I don't particularly care if test data on that server is lost although these may become issues later on.
i would like to create a new database role that has exactly the same permissions as an existing database role. the combinations of permissions are complicated enough to make this a time consuming task worthy of a script of some sort. any suggestions?
i'm running SQL Server 2000 and can't find anything about copying roles unless it's through DTS from one DB to another. not sure if this is applicable to basically duplicating and renaming a role in one database.
in case you're wondering why anyone would want to do this you may not be surprised to know that it's a government thing. some policy about differentiating between 2 roles -- even though they currently have exactly the same permissions, the similarities might change in the future.
Hi all, I have a stored proc which returns twice the result and I dontknow why.

I have a table that holds a number of offers made to a orginization for placements at a lecture. what im wanting to do is have each of the rows for a orginization repeated so that the names of people attending can be put into the database.
the result im looking to get is something like this where the name of the attendess would be inputed in an application. id | orginization | lecture | nameofattende 1 | orga | lec1 | j. blog 2 | orga | lec1 | s. smith 3 | orga | lec1 | h. samual 4 | orga | lec1 | j. sams 5 | orga | lec1 | b.j. james 6 | orgb | lec1 | m. curry 7 | orgb | lec1 | k. murry 8 | orgb | lec1 | g. hansen
Hi, I am copying records in a table. The source table and the target table are the same. I need the value from the id-field from both the source and target row. Is there a way to do this with one query?
I tried the following, but it doesn't seem to work:
INSERT tableOne (value1, value2, value3) OUTPUT source.id, inserted.id SELECT value1, value2, value3 FROM tableOne AS source WHERE ID = @number
I'm using a Unicode sql script imported using OSQL. One of the valueswe are attempting to insert is a Registry Multi-String value by passinga string to a stored procedure. These Multi-String values appear to bedelimited by a Hex 06 (^F) character. When I import this character,embedded in a string preceeded by an N, i.eN'somethingsomething2something3'I end up with TWO of this character in the db. I get :somethingsomething2something3Any help figuring out why or how to fix this? We MUST use Unicode dueto extended character sets, so NOT using Unicode is NOT a solution.
I built a query that brings in 'Discounts' (bolded) to the Order detail by using the bolded syntax below. I started off by running the query without the bolded lines and got exactly what I was looking for but without the ‘Discount’ column. When I tried to add the ‘Discount’ into the query, it duplicated several order lines. Although total ‘Discount’ column ties out to the total amount expected in that column, ‘Total Charges’ are now several times higher than before.
For example, I get 75 records when I run without the bolded syntax and I get several hundred results back when adding back in the bolded syntax when i should still be getting 75 records, just with an additional column ‘PTL Discount’ subtotaled.My question is, how to I introduce a new select or join from another table without duplicating the original data?
However, as you can see, the original select query is run twice and joined together.What I was hoping for is this to be done in the original query without the need to duplicate the original query.
Dear 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.
I just restored my SQL server 2000 database on the SQL server 2005. after this i ran the Service broker sample ("Hello World") on this database by changing the AdventureWorks name to the new database name. The "setup.sql" runs fine. When i run the "SendMessage.sql" i was not getting any rows in the output (The message was not getting inserted into the queue). I checked the Service broker is enabled on this databased using the query "select is_broker_enabled from sys.databases where name = 'newdbname' " It was 1. I even tried the ALTER DATABASE SET ENABLE_BROKER. but it didnt work.
When i tried the sample on a newly created database it worked fine.
Is there any solution to make the restored database to work for service broker.
i would like how to duplicate a database to another server with all datas, constraints, keys, indexes... should i use sp_attach_db, dts, backup/restore, sql scripts... ???
This is the scenario. Is it possible to create views or something (like Oracle DB Links) in a database in Instance 1 which can show data from another database in 2nd Instance ?
I have created a site which now has two databases. Firstly is the ASPNETDB.MDF which I beleives get set to manage the security, logon/Roles that I have on my site. The second dataabase "MyDatabase" is one that I have created for all my data withing the site. I would like to combine this to one Database for simplicity and cost. Now I can't see the ASPNETDB.MDF when I use SQL Manager 2005 and I can't see how to change the set up of ASP.Net Configuration if I was to just use mydatabase. Any suggestions
Hi, I have my site set up, but have had difficulty using the data gathered by the aspnet.mdf. I wanted to use the email and username columns from the membership table to send newsletters automatically from the database(but that's a whole other post)I also have my own databse, which will be populated by information gathered from the website, so is currently empty. I'd like to take this opportunity to say that i don't think there's enough information given on how to populate a blank database from a website application. Most tuorials etc are concentrated on retrieving and displaying data, which is all well and good, once you actually have data to play with!I don't need two databases, so can I add tables to the aspnet.mdf ? But then what about relationships etc? I won't damage the current relationships by adding new ones? On the other hand can i copy the aspnet.mdf into my own database, and then assign the relevant permissions to that db? Any help would be greatly appreciated-in language for newbies please! I am relatively new to .asp.net/Visual Basic/ and SQL. It's a steep learning curve!Also....I have used create user wizard, login, password recovery etc within my site, the data is inserted into the correct db tables-without using an sql datasource for some reason...? is that right?I have also created a wizard to collect some more data (because i couldn't work out how to insert the data from the extra steps in create user wizard, into my own database) but when i click submit the data is not inserting into the specified table - (yes the connection string is fine, insert and update has been selected from the advance tab in connections wizard). Would this/could this be because i have assigned a 'finishbutton url'? should i use a Response.Redirect("blahblah.aspx") instead?
I am very new to asp.net, but am having trouble trying to link the asp.net page that i have created to an sql database that has been set up on a local system. Am actually trying to use the sql control to extract info from the database. Would appreciate any ideas.
There are two databases in SQL Server and I have to designed the view or store procedure joing tables from two databases. How ? It will be kind, if you give me answer with detail example.
I’m using VB6 as the client and MS SQL Server 7 as the database. The company I’m consulting for has a proven track record for marketing and getting millions of customers. The parent company would like to create two new companies selling the same product; with 1 million customers per company. How many records can MS SQL Server 7 handle? I’ve been told it can handle 4 terabytes. What does 4 terabytes translate into records? I have already set up an application for company #1. Should I put company #2 in the same MS SQL Server database? Or should I put company #2 in a different database? My VB Application and SQL Server database were designed to handle multiple companies selling the same product. For performance sake; would it be better to separate the databases? Any suggestions? Is anyone currently using MS SQL Server with 2 or more million records?
I am presenting using MS SQL 6.5 and have used up all my (VDEVNO) device numbers (1-255). Will I have this problem when I migrate to SQL 7? I understand SQL 7 does not use a device when creating databases, so what is the maximum number of databases I can create in SQL 7?
Gusy im currently making and app that runs from a cd rom yet it uses databases made in sql and i already made the part for ataching the database from the cd but i haven't been able to do 2 things: 1.

How can you make two databases communicate with each other?? they both reside in sql server 2000. How would I go about doing that. Access 2000 is the interface
Is it possible to restore a 6.5 database to a 7.0? I backup the entire 6.5 database to a BAK file then tried to restore it to SQL 7.0 but it didn't work. SQL 7.0 states that the disk device is not a valid Microsoft Tape Format backup set.
We have an application that was developped long long time ago by a old team and I don't want to upgrade the server. I tried to build a second 6.5 server (new hardware) but I couldn't restore the database as SQL 6.5 states that the server is in single user mode. I don't know how to switch to multi users mode. The database I want to restore is not in DBO or single user mode.
Hello, Can someone show me the TSQL I need to write in order to create 100 SQL databases in one go. I want them to be called DB1, DB2, DB3, DB4...etc etc
I know how to create one database; --------------------------------------------------- USE MASTER GO CREATE DATABASE DB1 ON PRIMARY ( NAME = DB1_dat, FILENAME = 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataDB1.mdf', SIZE=4, MAXSIZE=10, FILEGROWTH=1 ) ------------------------- But I don't want to do this 100 times,
Hello,I am currently looking for databases that contain available prescriptionmedications and diagnosis codes (i.e. ICD9 medical diagnosis codes) thathave been created using SQL.Anybody know of companies that have these commerically available?Thanks,Eric
I'm writing an app in vs2005 using sql express. This may be the wrong forum for this question, but here it is. I'm going to have several tables: Seven for Customer information, six for Employee information, 15 for Misc Definitions (status types, skill types, discipline types, gender types, etc.) and 10 for Scheduling information. This is a total of 38 tables.
Is there any advantage to having four databases, one for each type, or should I put all 38 tables in one database and add relationships to everything?
I am testing SQL Sever Express and I would like to know how to load the adventure works databaes into SQL server?

How do I add the adventure works database to my instance of SQL Server? It appears that the files downloaded correclty and teh setup executed correclty, and the database files can be found in my control panel.
I have assembly with several UDT. Let's call one of them - T. I have loaded assembly to 2 different databases. Let€™s call them €“ d1 and d2. I also have function F(), that returns type T. I want to run such statement:
use d2
declare @v t = d1.dbo.F();
If type T in d2 lies in schema dbo, then such statement will work without any problems. But if I want to register T not in dbo, but in some other schema (let€™s call it S), I will have an error:
Msg 206, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Operand type clash: sysdb.ssma_oracle.Record is incompatible with t1.ssma_oracle.Record
Only conditions for CLR UDT, that I found, were:
When you use user-defined types across databases, you should remember the following: · The types must have the same name, including the same CLR name, and must be implemented through the same assembly in both databases. Assemblies in two databases are identical if they have the same name, strong name, culture, version, code access permission set, and binary contents. · You must have SELECT and EXECUTE permissions on each user-defined type column referenced in the query. These permissions are checked with regard to the database in which each column is defined. · If a type that is implemented in one assembly calls a method in another assembly, the cross-assembly call is checked in the same way as if the user-defined type query were issued without crossing databases.
