Query Across 2 Databases
Jul 7, 2004Wonder if you could help.
Am working in an environment where I have an output table in a new SQL db.
The queries to populate and update this table reference tables in another
db on the same server. So effectively, my SQL inserts and update join
tables across databses.
PROBLEM - they seem to take forever to run!
Any ideas / experience with cross db joins queries???????

How Do I Run An SQL Query Across Two Databases?
Jun 1, 2007I was hoping someone could assist me. I would like to know how to structure a SQL query in an attempt to compare data across two databases?
For example:
I'd like to know when salary in one database is changed in another and if it has, then list the new salary so I was thinking of something like this:
select DB1.name, DB1.salary
From DB1.EmployeeTable, DB2.EmployeeTable
where DB1.salary <> DB2.salary
Any feedback would be great.

Using IN Clause To Query Two Databases
Jan 16, 2005Hello,
I've put together the following query, but it has been unsuccessful running it so far.
Code:
select * from Contractors.dbo.Contacts
where VendorNo in (select No_ from [BMIS Live Database].dbo.[BMIS Live Database$Vendor]
where [Name] like '%of%')
I receive the following error when I run it in Query Analyzer:
Code:
Server: Msg 446, Level 16, State 9, Line 1
Cannot resolve collation conflict for equal to operation.
I'm trying to grab values from the column, "No_" in the Bmis.. database then only select data from the Contractors database if the VendorNo column holds one of the values grabbed from the Bmis.. database. I think my syntax is just completely wrong but hopefully someone might pick up on my mistakes. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Running Query On All Databases Within An SQL
Oct 3, 2007Hi,
I'm running SQL 2000 SP4.
On this server I have a few databases. I need to run the below query against each database. Since the server has approx 50 databases this will take time.
Is there any way for me to modify this so as it will automatically
run against each database one at a time and then create a single output file with all the results.
I do not want it to run against all of the databases at the same time as it will kill my server so it must run and gather results on each database at a time.

Running A Query On Two Databases
Mar 31, 2008Hello all,
Can anyone please tell me what query to use for joining two tables in two databases together?
Basically, we have two databases called 'system' and 'site' respectively. The 'system' database has a table called 'users' and each user has a unique id which is also linked to the tables in the 'site' database.
The only problem i have got is, I want to be able to get the actual user names not the unique id and the only way to get this from my SQL statement is to be able to link the uniqueid for each user in the 'site' database to their corresponding uniqueid in the 'system' database.
Please, how can I do this?

2 Databases On 2 Servers, 1 Query?
Jan 25, 2008Hello,
We have adedicated MS-SQL Server for our CRM database and we have another MS-SQL database server for in house applications, written in c#.Net 2.0. To avoid duplicating information already in our CRM database, it would be nice if we could build a query that combined columns from both data sources.Example
Code Snippet
CRM database on Server1
Table Accounts
Columns
AccountID UniqueIdentifier Primary Key
Name NvarChar(50)
Application Database on Server2
Table Transaction
Columns
TransactionID UniqueIdentifier Primary Key
AccountID UniqueIdentifier
Amount Money
Would it be possible to create a T-SQL statement that will select
Code Snippet
Select
Server1.CRM.Accounts.Name,
Server2.Application.Transaction.TransactionID,
Server2.Application.Transaction.AccountID,
Server2.Application.Transaction.Amount
From Server1.CRM.Accounts INNER JOIN Server2.Application.Transaction
ON (Server1.CRM.Accounts.AccountID = Server2.CRM.Transaction.AccountID)
I appreciate there will need to be 2 connections and therefore some credential information would need to be passed too.
Is anything like this possible? I do not wish to copy the Name field from Server1.CRM.Accounts to Server2..Application.Transaction as this is duplication and any change to the value of Server1.CRM.Accounts.Name would not be reflected in the results.
Many thanks for any information provided.

No Available Databases In A New Query In SSMS 2005
Mar 7, 2007When I create a new query window in SSMS 2005 (SP2) , I do not have any available database in de SQL Editor pane. Though in the Object Explorer window below, I can access all objects of all databases. The only way to query a table is by using the 'Open Table' feature in the Object Explorer window, then right-click on Pane-->SQL .
I also can open a stored procedure, but not modify it as the SQL Editor pane is disabled.
The SQL-Editor pane is available for all the other servertypes (Analysis, Reporting, Integration).
All services all started.
I re-installed completely SQL2005 and SP2 : nothing changed.
What am I missing ???
Versions = Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.3042.00
SQL Developer Edition 2005 (Service Pack 2)
Windows XP Pro 5.1 (build 2600 Service Pack 2)
Any help is welcome !!!

Update Query Joining Tables From Separate Databases

I would like to update DB2.dbo.Suppliers2 based on values from DB1.dbo.Suppliers1 joining on SUPPL1_ID = SUPPL2_ID.
How can I do this in SSIS?
Assumptions:
linked servers are not an option, as I want the SSIS package to be portable and not dependent on server environments.

How Do I Write SQL Query Accessing Multiple Databases (DBFs)?
Aug 8, 2006I have several database files, all in the same directory. I want to write SQL statements that access two databases at once. For example, if only one database would be involved, I would write:
SELECT Test_Source_ID_column, Data_column
INTO Test_Destination_table
FROM Test_Sources_table
The above query copies two columns (Test_Source_ID_column and Data_column) from Test_Sources_table into a brand new table called Test_Destination_table.
Now the above query is fine for both the old and new tables being in the same database. But what if Test_Sources_table is in file Old.dbf and I want the new table Test_Destination_table to be in New.dbf?
Both Old.dbf and New.dbf are in the same directory. Therefore, there is no security issue about using ......etcpasswords. I should therefore be able to use relative paths. So, I also want to know how I can do that select on two databases in the same directory without typing long, long paths.
Is there a way to do queries that access multiple database files (all database files being in the exact same directory) AND use relative paths or no paths (and certainly not type a full path)?
NOTE 1: I'm using SQLEXPRESS, therefore do not have the SQL Server 2005 tools. I have Visual Studio 2005 Developer Edition with its tools.
NOTE 2: One table is accessed through ODBC. The other table is accessed through SQLEXPRESS.
Delete Query Failes On Some Databases With Internal Server Error 8624
Feb 5, 2008Hiya,
We've got a strange problem.
We are running on SQL 2000 SP4.
Our structure uses database pairs, we have a Current and a History database so old records that don't change and aren't needed very often are only loaded into memory when needed.
The following query (the names have been changed) deletes the quote from the current database when the order raised from the quote has been moved into the history.
Code Snippet
DELETE FROM t_CurrentUnpaid
FROM db_Mule_History.dbo.t_History INNER JOIN
t_Quote ON
db_Mule_History.dbo.t_History.uid = t_Quote.uid INNER JOIN
t_CurrentUnpaid ON
t_Quote.uid_Parent = t_CurrentUnpaid.uid
where t_CurrentUnpaid.uid_cont != -2
This query runs fine on 4 identical database pairs, on the 5th pair it fails. All these pairs are on the same server, with the same permissions and the exact same structure. Only the data would differ
The error returned is:
Internal server error 8624
level 16 state 1 line 1
We have looked at MS articles, but all that I can find are about bugs fixed in SP1, 2, 3 and 4.
Nothing post SP4 that we are running.
Many thans in advance.
