Linked Databases
Oct 31, 2000Does anyone know if there is a way to link multiple databases together within stored procedures? Would it be a case of using the "use [database name]" withint the stored procedure?
Thanks!

SQL Server 2014 :: Select On Linked Databases
Sep 18, 2014I am trying to find out what records on in one DB and not the other. This SQL statement works find if the DBs are on the same Server. If I replace on the DBs with a linked DB (on another server) I get the following error.

Transact SQL :: Combining Two Queries From Different Linked Databases
May 20, 2015I have 2 DBs located on separate Sql Servers but the DBs are linked. I am querying data from both DBs but want to combine the results. Here is my query but it doesn't seem to be working.
(SELECT DISTINCT
idname, name, address, address2, awardedtoname, suppno
FROM contract INNER JOIN
house ON contract.idname = house.idname)
JOIN
(SELECT DISTINCT
tpd.PropertyNumber AS [Property No], tpd.Address1 + ' , ' + tpd.Address2 AS Estate, tpd.Address1 AS Address1,
[Code] ....
How I could combine the results?
Data Source For Linked Access Databases
Jan 30, 2008I need help in creating a Data Source within SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 to connect to a Microsoft Access database. I'm sure the problem is an authentication issue, because the report works fine when previewed through Visual Studio 2005. But, through the report server browser front end I get the following error:
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Query execution failed for data set 'AssignedEmployees'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '...'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
The Access database happens to reside on the same server as the SQL Server instance. The query that it is invoking uses tables linked to other Access databases including one that is on the same server and another that is on a completely different server. The error listed above references the database that is linked from the main Access database and that is on the same server.
I tried various things to get it to work, but what it comes down to is that I do not know the proper way to create the Data Source to an Access database from SRS (especially where the Access database links to other Access databases). Can anyone provide the steps to do this properly?
Restore SMK And System Databases (credentials And Linked Servers)
Apr 28, 2008Hi there
I have a concern about restore whole SQL server environment.
1st server:
x86 SQL Server 2005 EE SP2 + hotfix 3159 is installed on Windows 2003 SP1 R2. SQL Server is running under Local System Account. Server is not part of AD.
2nd server
Win XP SP2, x86 SQL Server 2005 DE SP2 + hotfix 3159. SQL Server is running under Local Admin Account. Server is part of AD. Server has Credentials and linked servers
I'm trying to move all databases from server 2 to server 1
For this I am doing:
1) Create backup SMK
2) Detach all user databases
3) Backup all system databases
4) Copy all this stuff to server 1
5) Run Server 1 in single-mode (-m)
6) Restore master database
7) Try to restore backup SMK that was done on step 1 and get this error message:
Msg 15329, Level 16, State 11, Line 2
The current master key cannot be decrypted. If this is a database master key, you should attempt to open it in the session before performing this operation. The FORCE option can be used to ignore this error and continue the operation but the data encrypted by the old master key will be lost.
My understanding is that credential secrets, linked server login passwords are lost and should be recreated. DbMK can be restored using passwords.
As far as I know this can be avoided if the same domain account is using for both servers. But the question still this - if I have stand alone server, using local system account for the SQL Server service and have encrypted objects - I cannot restore SQL Server on another box (say in case disaster lost original one) without loosing credentials and linked servers even if I have all backups including backup of SMK.
Sounds gloomily for me. Any idea what I missed?

Accesssing Mirrored Databases Via SQLNCLI Linked Server?
Aug 3, 2006Does anyone know how to configure a mirrored pair as a linked server on a 3rd instance?
Say I have a mirrored database on two servers: PRIMARY and SECONDARY.
I want to create a linked server on a 3rd machine that allows me to access the database on the mirrored pair.
This is what I'm using:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver
@server = N'MIRROR',
@srvproduct=N'',
@provider=N'SQLNCLI',
@provstr=N'Server=PRIMARY;FailoverPartner=SECONDARY;'
select count (*) from mirror.pubs.dbo.authors
and it works fine if the database on PRIMARY is alive. however when the mirror has failed over to SECONDARY and PRIMARY is no longer available, I get the following when I try to query the database via the linked server:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "MIRROR" returned message "Login timeout expired".
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "MIRROR" returned message "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When
connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.".
Msg 10061, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
TCP Provider: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
As far as I can tell, it doesn't try to contact SECONDARY at all. It seems like SQL Server is ignoring the FailoverPartner attribute.
If I switch PRIMARY and SECONDARY in the connection string (ie @provstr=N'Server=SECONDARY;FailoverPartner=PRIMARY;') then it works when SECONDARY is online, but not when the mirror has failed back to PRIMARY.
Any ideas?

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.
Service Broker Not Working For Restored Databases (SQL 2000 Databases Restored On 2005)
Jan 24, 2006I 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.
Thanks

Two Databases
Sep 24, 2006I 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

Sep 25, 2006Hi, 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?

Use 1 Or 2 Databases?
Jul 16, 2000Hello,
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?
Thanks,
Denise

May 21, 2004Hello,
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.
Any help will be appreciated.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUse CLR UDT Across Databases
Jan 22, 2008I 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.
But I still have the same error. Why?
Help Needed About Databases!
Aug 23, 2006 Hi
I'm a newbie to SQL server..... l'm building a website where companies can save important data. I have a SQL server available but I'm not sure how to store the data. Should I create a new database for every user or should I store everything in the same database and then use a UserId to recognize the data and the user? What about the case where I reaches let's say 1000 users in the one user per database case, it would be extremly difficult to have an overview of the databases or what?
The data stored for each user are stored in tables which are exactly the same so all tables could be gathered into one table and then a UserId could tell which records belong to whom.
Hope my english isn't too bad..otherwise just ask me questions and I'll get back A.S.A.P.

Accessing Two Databases
Sep 16, 2006Hi, I am developing a small asp.net application where I read from a readonly omnis database via odbc then dependant on user input write records to a second database.My first idea was to use an odbc connection to Omnis database and write to ms sql database. There is quite a few queries that need to be made to the Omnis database and I am binding a datagrid to the MS Sql server database. I was hoping to use stored procedures to update the mssql tables. So there will be much opening and closing of connections. Should I go down that road or should i think of using an Access database, with linked table to the Omnis database, then only one connection needs to be made. And I can store my information in the Access database tables. Thanks.
