Is there an easy way to move a view from one schema to another?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,We are researching whether the following scenario would be possible:In an upcoming application release, we have to move some tables (Logtables, look up tables, and a couple of secure tables) from database Ato database B.Rather than wait and do everything all at once, and have no roll-backplan should it fail, we'd like to create database B now, and startmoving those tables one by one over to it.To ensure compatibility with the existing code-base, we'd like todetermine whether we can use updatable views to allow the current codeto continue to run against the existing DB.Essentially, we would do this:Given a table named LogTable In database A, we'd copy all ofLogTable's data to database B. (We'd look at the transaction log tocopy any changes made on rows modified after copying started.)Then, we'd turn off the site for a few moments, and:In database A, we'd rename LogTable to LogTable-Old, and create a viewcalled LogTable which points to DatabaseB.dbo.LogTable.When we turn the site back on, updates and selects to LogTable wouldphysically pull from database B from now on.I have already verified that performing selects and updates against aview that refers to another physical database actually does work inSQL 2K5.My question is are there any pitfalls or things we should be aware ofthat anyone else has experienced trying to do something like this?Does it sound feasible?Thank you,Josh

The DBA for our client is the onethat set up the topology of these databases but I don't understand theperformance considerations of having views in an applictation databasereferencing tables in the shared databases. Is the enitre tablecopied to tempdb when the view is referenced? How does indexing inthe containing database affect access through the view? These aresome of the questions I would like see documenation on.Thanks,Jim

Hi,
Iam trying to move the database from one server to the other server.I know it can be done in the following 3 ways i.e
Copy .mdf and .ldf files to the other server and attach them.
or
restore the databses from the backups
or
use data transformation services.
Now let me know which is the fastest way of doing this.
and also what are advantages and disadvantages of above methods if possible.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I move SQL databases quite often from one server to another. What is the most efficient way to do this? I normally perform a log dump then a
database dump and then copy the backup DAT file over to the new server and then perform a restore. This is OK except that the User accounts
permissions usually get messed up in the process and I have to redo them. It's OK for a few user accounts but some databases I work with have
many user accounts. The version of MS SQL I use is 6.5 (sp4). Thanks in advance. JLS
hi i am trying to move my databases from one drive to another..sometimes could be into different network. i know how to do this through management studio. but how easy it could be doing it from query analyzer or may be using batch file. if you have experience please drop some words.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have two databases on my Server - database1 and database2.
Database1 has a view on tables on database2 :
create view myview as select * from database2.dbo.tablename
(because all tables in database2 are owned by dbo)
and myview on database1 is owned by dbo.
when a user on database1 - lets say user1 tries to select rows from myview,
we get an error saying that user1 is not a valid user on database2.
it only allows user1 to select rows from myview if i make user1 a user on database2
as well, which is not what i want.
Can someone please point me in the right direction.
i would like to be able to select rows from a view which is based on tables in another database.

I have a web app that has been regulated to a disconnected PC. It's runing IIS and 2.0 with sql server express, but no connectivity. I have changes that are made to some of the data in the db (data, bot schema). There is one particular table that I cannot overwrite, and must extract the data.
What methods are available to do this swap of data between databases? I was thinking of doing something like this:
Track last date that remote db was updated. Upload updated database into data directory, loop through records for all affected tables, any date that was past logged date then update the record if it exists or insert new record, and then loop through the remote db and delete this records that dont exist in the updated db.
This seems intensive and slow - especially as the tables get bigger but I can't think of another solution that can be done by a user using sometime of web interface.
I'd like to hear the "best practices" for moving databases from one server to another with minimal impact (minimum downtime) to users. The database is about 1GB, but growing at an average rate of 5MB/day.
Only 2 databases on that source server are to be moved. There are other databases on that server that shouldn't be affected as much as possible.
Any good suggestions?
I'm sorry, but I'm a complete newbie to SQL Server although I'm very familiar with Exchange/NT stuff. Got thrown this responsibility lately :(
We are going to be moving over about 29 databases from one server to another
(space issues). The new database will then be renamed to the old server name.
The database sizes range from 100mb to 29gig.
I was planning on doing a dump/restore which will take over 3 hours to dump and
12-15 hours to restore.
Our NTAdmin suggested shutting down the SQL Servers and just copying over the
data/log files to the new box and then bringing up the new server.
Had anyone ever tried this?
What are the effects on files over 22gig?
Should I also copy over the model/msdb/master database files?
What other potential problems should I be aware of?
My fear is that I start copying them over, run into a problem half way through
and then
have to revert back to the dump/restore method.
Any help would be appreciated, we are scheduled to do the move this weekend.
Thanks again

how can I easily move my whole SQL Server 7 installation to another different machine as the current one is going down for maintenance during one week?
Thanks.
I was hoping to get some input on the best approach for the following situation:
I have been tasked with moving several SQL server databases from one SQL server to another to free up the hardware on the first one for another purpose. The SQL server is version 6.5 and has service pack 5 on it.
I have installed SQL server on the server where the data is going to end up with the same code page and sort order as the current server.
For my next step I was going to create devices for the databases on the new server, then add the databases to the devices. I was going to use the "Create database for Load" statement. Then I was going to load a transaction dump from each database on the old server into the new database on the new server. Is there anything else I will need to do? Will I have to do anything with the master database or is it sufficient to do what I have stated above?
Can anyone direct me to a good technet article or white paper on this process? I did find a short page in SQL books on line which helped a bit.
Thanks in advance,
CK.
I like to move my database from a directory to another (on different drives foir exemple).
Is there an easy way to do this kind of job ?
Hi Experts, I need an advice on this documentation. What are the things i missed. Can you please help me.1.Make a full backup of all databases from server 1 (for our safety)
2.Copy all logins , Jobs , DTS packages, folders from server 1 to server 2
3.Copy any folders or files from the server 1 to the new server 2 that will be accessed by Jobs, DTS packages, stored procedures etc.
4.Change all databases to Single user mode so no one can access the server( Downtime)
5.Detach all databases from server1 ( There will be downtime)
6.Stop the SQL Server, SQL Agent Services on server 1
7.Attach all databases to server 2 since both servers are in the same Datacenter.
8.Connect to the server 2, using Enterprise Manager and make sure all the databases are displayed and that there is no suspect databases. Scan through the SQL Server error logs, SQL Agent error logs, and System and Application event logs, to make sure there are no errors. If we find any errors, fix them before you proceed any further.
9.Once we are happy with the new server’s server 2 state, shutdown the SQL Server, SQL Agent and MS Search services.
10. Rename the alias on server 1
11.Rename the alias on server 2 so all the applications will point towards it and reboot the server.
12.Start the SQL Server, SQL Agent and MS Search services on server 2.
13. After we have completed these steps, server 2 is ready to go.
Hi all,I am pretty new to dB programming and a have a few questions which I willput in separate threads. I have only coded as a hobby and some limited workprojects. I have recently been asked if I could help implement a simple helpdesk for work. This has only been running for a few weeks and the data iscurrently being stored in excel (I know...I know!! :-)I have installed a copy of MSDE on my development machine and plan on doingthe same on my office 'server'....in fact it may well already be on there. Ialso have another testbed to act as the client.My first question (in no particular order) is how to move the sql db fromthe development machine to the server? I don't have any sql/db tools otherthan anything that is included with MSDE (which I don't think is much).I will be posting other Q's for any experts out there!Thanks in advance.Phil

Having a bit of an issue 'moving' a database. I've only just installed SQL Server 2005 on a Development/Test box so I can learn and mess around with it without doing any serious damage to anything important.
One of the first things I've done is install the AdventureWorks database and, having installed it, decided I would move the files to their optimum locations. However having detached the database I can't seem to move or copy the .mdf or .ldf files - something still seems to have its tentacles around them - 'Access denied' error. Even rebooting the server doesn't work. So I've had to delete then re-attach the database. The question then is does Detach serve any useful purpose? Or am am doing something wrong? With SS2000 I could detach a database, relocate the physical files and re-attach in seconds. The same procedure with SS2005 has taken me an hour!

Followed the steps in Books Online to move the Reporting Services databases from one server to another. After resetting all the keys and configurations, the site comes up. However, all my shared datasources have lost their connection strings, and have reverted to requesting login information. Is this how it is supposed to work? If not, how do I fix this easily (as I have about 25 data sources)?

I have to periodically migrate a copy of database on a production web server down to a web server used by some developers. The names of the databases are different, as are the underlying file names and locations. I use Management Studio to do this. we're running 2008 R2.
I make a backup on the production server, then move the file to the developer server. On that server, I take the db offline, then restore the file into the proper database. Before I start the restore I change the files to match the default names for the target database. Then I do the restore.
The main practical problem I have is that the security ends of breaking for some logins, but not for others, and I don't know why. I use the same login names for users on the source and destination machines, but sometimes they don't come through cleanly, and I have to recreate them. It's always the same users that break. I can fix them, but I'd like to understand why some users come across while others don't.Also, what's the best way to move a db from one engine to another, with a name change along the way? And how do you do it if you have different physical environments and different paths for the actual underlying files between the two systems?
Hi,
We are migrating to SQL Server 2005 from 2000 and we have a view created in many of our databases. That view must be changed after the migration because it uses system tables and does not return the correct information in SQL Server 2005.
To do that, I want to create an SSIS-package that loops through all the databases on a particular server. If that view exists in the database, I want to run a script that change the view.
What I try to do:
Set up a For Each Loop container with Foreach SMO Enumerator
Set the connection to my server
Set the Enumerate property to "SMOEnumObj[@Name='Databases']/SMOEnumType[@Name='Names']"
On the Variable Mapping page, place Index 0 in Variable User::dbName
In the For Each Loop, place a script task to msgbox the value of User::dbName
This all works good. The problem comes when I try to nest the For Each Loop
Inside the "For Each Database Loop", place a new For Each Loop container with Foreach SMO Enumerator
I connect the Msgbox Script Task with the new For each loop
Use the same connection
Set the EnumURN property in the Expression Builder to "Database[@Name='" + @[User::dbName] +"']/SMOEnumObj[@Name='Views']/SMOEnumType[@Name='Names']"
On the Variable Mapping page, place index 0 in Variable User::tabName
In the For Each Loop, place a script task to msgbox the value of User::tabName
When I try to run the package now, it does not at all.
In my Progress tab I see that Validation has started and completed for each task, but I see now errors. Nothing has run.
Test 1: I change the DelayValidation for the Inner Loop to True
Now the package runs, but I never get to the script task in the inner loop.
Question 1: What's the problem?
Question 2: Is there another way to do this?
Regards

Hi champs!
Is it possible to make a database View over two different database installations on different machines?
Many thanks

Hi everybody.
I need to find all the views that depend on a table in a different database, in order to refresh them once the table is altered.
In the BOL I found the following script that is very useful, but I can't use it if the view and the table are in different database.
Where can I find the dependencies in this case?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I just got hosted on a site which supports .Net, and my forms seem to be coming up okay. I have a database residing on my computer that accompanies the pages I have written.
I was told that I need to export my database to their site, and I have an ip address to use. Can anyone tell me how I would go about with this export ?
Do I just add the site to my Enterprise Manager ?
Thank you for any input.

whenever we are moving system databases from one drive to another, do we need to move the path physically? or it automatically moves.I want to try the rebuild the sql server. So I want to corrupt the master database so, I deleted the master mdf file and restore it back but instead of database corruption it is giving the following error message. How can I corrupt the master database and can practice the rebuild the server.
And one more thing when I try to use the repair option I couldn't able to get all the things back to normal. The database engine service, replication is not working but SSAS, SSRS things are showing successfully repaired.

What is the easiest way to move SQL Server 2005 databases from one oldserver to a new server?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe tried to move the two 2005 ReportServer databases to another platform. The actual db move worked fine (detatch/copy/attach) but when the report guy tried to change the connection info in Report Server he could not seem to make the change. So we backed-out the changes and regrouped.
This should be very cook-book. I have no experience with Report Server but I know some of you guys could to this with your eyes closed. After the databases are moved I think all we have to do is change the server name and credentials in Report Server. Is that correct? Do we have to bounce any services? Are there any tricks I can impress the other guys with?

I am trying to move my reporting databases on Server1 to another server (Server2). The databases are named ReportServer$Server1 and ReportServer$Server1TempDB, and I would like them to be named ReportServer$Server2 and ReportServer$Server2TempDB on Server2. I have followed all the steps in the KB articles on moving databases, and I have restored the key from Server1 onto Server2. I can use the Report Manager to change the Data Source connection string on Server2. However, when I try to access a report, or delete an unwanted object, it always errors out, and there is a reference to ReportServer$Server1TempDB in the error message.
Where is this dependency on the old name coming from? Is there no way to rename the report server databases?
Thx
