How To Test Before Putting In Production
Jul 17, 2006
Hi all,
I have a asp .net 1.1 application running on the intranet which uses SQL Server 2000.
The application is in production and everytime I want to do some changes, i do the changes on my
development machine then I copy the application dll on the server.
The problem is that I'm using Stored Procedures for all my Select, Insert and Delete statements.
These stored procedures are live on the server so I can't do the modifications locally and test them then copy to the server.
How can I do modifications without affecting the production server and the users ???
thanks.

I have just finished upsizing an Access database to SQL Server 2k. Now the SQL Server need to be run on a test basis to determine if i need to make more changes to the front-end (Access). The problem I am facing is how to keep the two databases in sync while I am testing. Any suggestions?
Also any suggestion or comments on how to run a test setup like this (in parrallel) are also welcome since this is my first time attempting a project like this.
Let me know if anyone needs more info.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We're using SQL Server 2000 as back end in our web project. The problem is we've 3 different copies of same database - one each for Development, Test and Production sitting in 2 different machines.
My question is - is there any tool for comparing the objects (tables, stored procedures, etc) ?
Thanks,
Harish

Here is my requirement.
There is a production database which has ever increasing data. For testing purposes though, I would like to build a test database with exactly the same schema but only a subset of data copied from the production database . I'll specify the criteria (something like a where clause in select query) for copying the data from the production database.
Is there a tool that anyone has come across to do this job ?

Hi,
Is there any tool available to migrate the data from the SQL Server
test database to SQL Server production database. Data Migration should
be based on a condition which can be given as an input for a table by
the user. The dependant tables also should be migrated based on the
condition. i.e data subsetting based on the matching conditions.
Ex : Salary > 2000
The rows of the table which matches the condition alone need to be
migrated for the corresponding table. Also its dependant table's
rows should be migrated based on the given condition. Please help me
with a tool which can automate this.
Thanks,
Smitha

We will be implementing our first SQL cluster in December. Our current plan calls for a shared development/test database server with one physical server, but two SQL Server instances. Our production environment will be a SQL cluster. Is it necessary to create a clustered test environment for testing patches, hot-fixes, etc...?
Thanks, Dave

How do I change application code to easily switch between the application working against a test database versus working with a production database?
My thought is to change the connection string to work with a test DB, and when ready to Publish, change the connection string back to the production DB. After Publish is successful, change the connection string back to the test DB.
At first, it appears it will work. Will it? Whether it will or won't?

Hello
I have a production database that i need to refresh to our test environment daily. The database size is 700 MB.
I do not need to transfer the stored procedures and triggers , users and logins.
Would a DTS package that runs every night be the best and the easiest solution to implement or should i look into log shipping and snapshot replication.
thanks

I am attempting to create a Test db from a full backup of the production db. With 2012, I cannot do it the the way i had done it in previous versions (and now i understand why because of Logical names).
The Test db runs in the same instance as Prod db.
I attempted to run this but come up with errors. This is what i executed:
RESTORE DATABASE TEST FROM DISK = 'E:<path>FULL.BAK'
WITH REPLACE, RECOVERY,
MOVE 'PROD' TO 'E:<path>TEST.MDF';
The errors are all cannot execute due to PROD is in use.

Setting up Transaction Replication in test environment. I am willing to bet that most of you take a production backup (if so, how, and using what?), restoring the database to your test environment, then running a snapshot to your subscriber and away you go.
But perhaps you take a backup of your publisher and subscriber, if so, how do you know there are no inconsistences because there were transactions sitting on the distributor?
What do you do if you have additional indexes on the subscriber for reporting, that are not on the publisher?
Here at work we are having issues with getting consistent databases set up with T Rep, missing rows, duplicate keys at subscriber etc. How to avoid these issues.

We are setting up a new Reporting Services 2005 enterprise reporting tier that will support multiple developers, applications, and end users. We will have mirrored environments including development, test, and production each with their own database cluster, and reporting server.
We have multiple report developers who share a single Visual Studio solution which is saved in SourceSafe and is setup to have separate report projects for each business unit in the orgainzation. Each report project is mapped to a specific deployment folder matching the business unit. Using the Visual Studio Configuration Manager, we can simply flip to the envirnoment we want to deploy to and the reports are published to the correct environment and folder structure.
My problem lies with the common data sources. We are using a single master Common Data Sources folder to hold all of the data sources. The trick is that each and every reporting folder seems to have to have it's own copy of the data source in visual studio. There does not seem to be an easy way to change the data sources for the reports when you publish to various environment, i.e. development, test, production etc.
Ideally, we would have a single project for the common data sources that all reporting projects and associated folders would map to, and we would have a way to associate the appropriate data source for each environment when we deploy.
I'm looling for best practices on how to setup data sources for development and deployment in an enterprise environment that uses Visual Studio to develop and publish reports. We have 3 environments, and 6 data sources per environment and about 20 reporting folder / project in Visual Studio. That's 360 changes that have to be manged when deploying reports. Is there a best practices way to do this?
There has got to be a better way? Can anyone give me some insite into how to set this up?
Thanks!

Howdy;
I've tried this in the 'tools' area, but that didn't work too well. I suspect, I will have to generate a T-SQL code then schedule it as a job. Why I can't just drag and drop with basic desires, is beyond me, but THAT probably does exist.
anyway here is the problem
[this server has many databases, on SQL 2000 sp2]
1. User only wants me to use Monday morning's full backup, which is good in that it doesn't include transaction logs.
2. Restore that data overtop/into Developement db. = good, no data to worry about damaging.
3. User does NOT want me to do this by hand, but schedule it.
ok,
a. must do a RESTORE WITH FILELISTONLY from [?] what ?, master? and if I user the *.bak of the production, it has
a coded date field in the name entry SO, I would, I guess, have to generate all sorts of wonderful code to find the date and build a file name. Why, because using the FROM DISK = 'F:MSSQLBACKUPDBPRODUCTION_yyyyddmm.BAK' is not going to work with a wild card.
Can I do a file lookup using a 'PRODUCTION' prefix into a variable, then use that or should I look for latest file date [remember there are several database backups here], or ????
then. How does one schedule such a T-SQL. Do I save it to some text file, and invoke it using a job scheduler.
any help appreciated.
IS there an easier way.

We have both a production SQL 7 server, QA, and Development. From time to time, I want to move just the data from the production server to the other 2 servers without modifing the objects that may have been changed such as stored procedures and rights. Is there a way using the SQL tools provided that we can just move the data. Becuase also what happens is that the rights to the objects change which means my developers no longer have access to the tables for selects in QA since the changes where overwritten by production where they do not have the rights.
Thanks

We are setting up a test lab environment with 100 machines. We want one master testing db that gets replicated to each to run scripted application tests nightly.
My goal is to minimize the amount of work to move this thing to each of the 100 test machines. I am wondering if we need to even have the sql local and invest in a monster db server with 100 copies of the db we restore and each test machine point to their own db on that server, or if I should use db mirroring or something to get the master test db to each of those machines instead.

Now that we have a good programming model in SSIS - the question is whether to write automated unit tests for your packages, and would it generally be a good idea for packages?
Also - if yes to write tests - then where to find more informations regarding How to accomplish that?

hi every one,
i need to test SSIS pacakge which will import data from different database where record count is around 5 millions.
iam planning to test it through c# code as well as manually also.
SSIS source : consist of 7 tables
SSIS destination :consist of 7 tables
Using c# code iam trying to run ssis package through batch file.
i am putting expected rowcount, column count in an excel file and comparing same with destination tables by writing query implementing ADO.Net concept.
am i going right way ,can any one suggest best and productive way to test the ssis package .
what are the other things i need to test it.
do any one can add test cases to it.
S.No
Test Case
1
Verify all the tables have been imported.
2
Verify all the rows in each table have been imported.
3
Verify all the columns specified in source query for each table have been imported
4
Verify all the data has been received without any truncation for each column.
5
Verify the schema at source and destination
6
Verify the time taken /speed for data transfer
7
Fields truncated due to difference in length of the field at destination.

Hi,
I'm pretty new to SQL and I've got a bit of a sticky problem. I've looked around on the net for a solution but possibly I just don't know what I should be searching on.
I'm trying to join tables together where there is a one to many releationship - but I'm trying to put the results for each relationship on one row (which kind of results in dynamic columns).
table one:
Number
1111
2222
3333
table two:
Number Code
1111 15
2222 18
2222 13
3333 22
2222 26
I want the resulting table to look like:
Number Code1 Code2 Code3
1111 15
2222 18 13 26
3333 22
Is this possible? There is no limit on how many rows in table 2 can be related to table 1.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for what I should be looking at?
The reason I'm trying this is for SQL reporting services if that makes a difference?
Thanks,
Kelvin.

I just want to get the sum of a table's column into a variable, in a stored procedure. The best I can do is
SET @TotalBalance = SELECT SUM(Balance) FROM AccountDetails
Not good enough, of course.

I'm trying to put a date into a SQL Server table. The database field type is "smalldatetime". The variable dDate is type "date" and contains: 2/2/2006 (although I think Cdate actually converts it to: #2/2/2006#). When I run the following code the date in the database is always ends up being: 1/1/1900.
Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("INSERT INTO MyTable(MyDate) " & _ "VALUES (" & dDate & ")", SqlConn)daAppts.InsertCommand = cmddaAppts.InsertCommand.Connection = SqlConndaAppts.InsertCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
Any other field types work fine, it's just dates that aren't working ???? Can someone please provide a code snippet showing me what I'm doing wrong??

I've got 2 tables :
TABLE DateSqlServer
Date as DateTime
TABLE DateDb2
Date as VarChar(26)
I run these queries :
INSERT INTO DateSqlServer (Date) VALUES (GetDate())
INSERT INTO DateDb2 SELECT Date FROM DateSqlServer
Then, when I run :
SELECT Date FROM DateDb2
I get
"march 8 2004 3:45 PM"
instead of
"2004-03-08 03:45:12:000"
How can I transfer the date as I see it in table DateSQLServer
WITHOUT doing FORMATs on the Date column ?
Why does the INSERT transform the date format ?
