I need a stored procedure that can drop and recreate any table in a DB.
How could I find out all information pertinent to a table and able to generate the create statement dynamically in the preocedure then drop it and recreate the table.
Thank you and please help.
Hi!I need to recreate the system tables (sysobjects, syscolumns,sysindexes, sysforeignkeys, sysconstraints, sysreferences, sysindexkeysat least) in another SQL server.You may say "Thats easy! Backup and restore the database!" and I wouldanswer "I can't, the database size is above 50GB and I just can't do itevery time I need to recreate the info".So, żDo you know any simple way to do these?I don't need the data on the user tables and I'll log-in always as dbo(using trusted connection), perhaps that helps.Perhaps the simplest way is to do a bcp to backup and restore the databut.... you never know what would happen. This is why I write ask youguy, probably you know much more than me.Thanks in advance

View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how to recreate a database from a log file? Here is the situation:
I had a server go bad. The drive configuration was as follows
Server OS on separate RAID controller - RAID Level 1
SQL Data on separate RAID controller - RAID Level 5
Transaction Logs on Separate Raid Controller - RAID Level 1
I lost the RAID 5 array and can't get it back and don't have a backup. I need to know if/how I can recreate the database from the log file. The log file has been set to grow and has never been purged so I am hoping that I can recreate the database from scratch. Is this possible?
Dear All,
after searching continuously for removing the suspect mode of MSDB database, i've found a great article in net.but i dont understand how to proceed. please explain me the steps....
1.Detach the damaged msdb. You can't just detach msdb because you're not allowed to detach system databases. However, you can if you start the server with trace flag 3608. I did this by shutting down the server, navigating to the directory 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBinn' and doing the following: start sqlservr.exe -c -T3608
2.Move or rename the damaged msdb files (msdbdata.mdf and msdblog.ldf in the 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData' directory)
3.Run the instmsdb.sql script in the 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLInstall' directory
4.Shutdown and restart the server without the 3608 trace flag

I want to create a clean copy of my DB now that it is done. So it can be moved to another Server. It has some sample data in some tables that I would like to keep and some in other table that I don't. How can I do this?

I need to drop and recreate few subscriptions in transactional publication
Do I need to worry about log marker issues ?
Do I need to set the primary and replicate databases in 'DBO use only'
The Primary and Replicate databases are being accessed all the time.
Due to a server move of our SQL databases something 'strange' happend: one of the login accounts disappeared.
When I try to recreate it, SQL gives me back an error stating the account already exists. Read something about loginaccounts becoming orphaned but don't know how to solve it. The login account is a Windows (AD) account and not a SQL account (both requiring different methods of fixing?). How can I recreate just this single account?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hello
I am trying to recreate a MySQL database on a new domain. The original database was exported into about 40 .SQL text files. I am importing these .SQL text files into a new database using phpmyadmin. When I attempt to import the first of these files, I get a "fatal error". It says the upload time has exceeded the 300 second limit. How do I set up the server so there is no upload time limit? Or how would you approach a solution to this problem? There are about 40 of these text files and each file varies in size between 5 and 15mb. Is it possible to split individual files in half or 3 parts and import that way? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

A customer on SQL7 has a 40GB tempdb (which is usually 2-5GB) which has filled the drive. ShrinkDb/ShrinkFile do nothing as the db has only 2GB of free space. How can I truncate the data or blitz tempdb and create a new (2-5GB) one (Stopping the server, deleteing the .mdf, starting the server creates a new tempdb with the same size as the old one!)

What is the easiest way to recreate jobs running on one server on another server?
Thank you

I need to remove log segment of one database from current position to another drive. The current log segment is used by two databases. This was created by mistake. Now we need to fix the problem and create another log segment for the other database. If we keep the log setment as is, we will have problems deleting one of the databases in the future.
Thanks for your help,

I have come across a user that has error 2525 errors on sysobjects tables throughout their SQL 6.5 system. The ids match and I can identify the index. But as they are system tables I cannot drop or rebuild the indexes.
Any ideas please?
The errors have been occuring for some time, so it is not an option to restore. I would like to avoid having to transfer data to and from another SQL Server.
Many Thanks
I am looking for a script to recreate scheduled jobs on new SQL Servers that I build. I am hoping to find one that will pull information from the system tables for the name of the server and the names of the databases so that it does not have to be extensively modified for each new server.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I need to retrieve all the information about all the foreign key constraints,inorder to store them temporarily (to be deleted later)and then recreated after making the necessary modifications to the concerned tables.
The stored proc sp_helpconstraint shows all the constraint types, their user-defined or system-supplied name, the columns on which they have been defined, and the expression that defines them.But I don't know whether it can be manipulated to get what I want.I need to get it done programmatically..so that I can integrate it in my program which I'm building up progressively.
Any help or scripts would be appreciated!
I have found an (encrypted) SP which takes ~20 seconds to run on one of our client DBs.
If I drop and recreate (or alter) the SP giving it the same contents it will run in ~1 second.
I need to know
1. why the sp started running so slowly
2. how to stop it happening again
3. how to fix it without resorting to drop/recreate (I can't exactly write a batch script to recreate all our sps every so often)
I have tried sp_updatestats and sp_recompile before running the sp to no avail...
anyone heard of a problem like this before?
cheers

I have a database around 500 GB. right now the database have only one data file and one log, it has only one filegroup also.all the indexes and table are placed in Primary Filegroup . we are going to separate them. the planing is to move all the indexes to Secondary filegroup and all the table will be in Primary filegroup.But there will be a problem while implementing it because there are around 600 tables and each table have at least 2 non-clustered index , so is there any way to move all the index to Secondary Filegroup.

I have two tables Person & Location where Location has a primary key LocationId and Person has a foreign key LocationId.
Sometime ago I used the Database Diagrams visual tool of SQL Server Management Studio Express to create the foreign key relationship between the two tables - i.e. "visually" (drawing a line between the PK & FK LocationId elements of both tables).
Time has passed and I recently noticed that, upon retrieving my saved diagram, the foreign key relationship had "fallen off" (i.e. the many-to-one line was no longer showing in the diagram).
After recreating the relationship (redrawing the line) I find that I get an error message when I try to save the diagram:
Post-Save Notifications
[!] Errors were encountered during the save process. Some database objects were not saved.
'Location' table saved successfully
'Person' table
- Unable to create relationship 'FK_Person_Location'.
The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_Person_Location". The conflict occurred in database "mydb", table "dbo.Location", column 'LocationId'.
When I go back to the object explorer and view the dependencies for the two tables, there is no dependency (between these two tables) revealed. When I try to create the foreign key constraint manually (T-SQL) it again says can't add the constraint. It comes up with an error as follows:
ALTER TABLE Person
ADD FOREIGN KEY (LocationId) REFERENCES Location (LocationId)
Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 2
The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK__Person__LocationId__793DFFAF". The conflict occurred in database "mydb", table "dbo.Location", column 'LocationId'.
(Note: Each time I do this, the 8 hexadecimal character suffix changes.)
When I try to drop the foreign key:
alter table Person
drop constraint FK__Person__LocationId
it comes back with the error:
Msg 3728, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
'FK__Person__LocationId' is not a constraint.
Msg 3727, Level 16, State 0, Line 2
Could not drop constraint. See previous errors.
So it seems that there's some kind of goof up here. Can anybody shed light on this / tell me how to fix it?
Hi,
I have a table need to export to excel. 3 columns are 4000k. I can create the ssis package by using import and export wizard and it works fine. But when I try to edit the destination connection for excel, like using another excel file. In the edit window, the Name of the Excel Sheet box is empty, I click new button. It always fail. (with the 3 columns created as varchar (4000) or nvarchar(4000).
I am wondering how import and export wizard can create this table which I can't create it manually?
Thanks
The only way the job success is if I select the option add rows wich is copying all rows even the ones that are already there, I tried to drop amd recreate the table option but i just dosn't run that way, help please..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a four tables called plandescription, plandetail and analysisdetail. The table plandescription has the columns DetailQuestionID which is the primary and identity column and a QuestionDescription column.
The table plandetail consists of the column PlanDetailID which the primary and identity column, DetailQuestionID which is the foreign key attribute of plandescription table and a planID column.
The third table analysisdetail consists of a analysisID which the primary and identity column, PlanDetailID which is the foreign key attribute of plandetail table and a scenario.
Below is the schema of the three tables
I have a two web form that will insert, update and delete data into these three tables in a two transaction. One web form will perform CRUD operations in plandescription and plandetail table. When the user inserts QuestionDescription and planid in this web form, I will insert the QuestionDescription Value in the plandescription table and will generate a DetailQuestionID value and this value is fed to the plandetail table with the planid. Here I will generate a PlanDetailID.
Once this transaction is done, I will show the second web form in which the user enters the scenario and this will be mapped with the plandescription using the PlanDetailID.
This schema cannot be changes as this is the client requirement. When I insert values I don’t have any problem. However when I update existing data, I need to delete existing PlanDetailID in the plandetail table and recreate PlanDetailID data for that DetailQuestionID and planID. This is because, the user will be adding or deleting a planID associated with the QuestionDescription.
Once I recreate PlanDetailID for that DetailQuestionID and planID, I need to update the old PlanDetailID with the new PlanDetailID in the third table analysisdetail for the associated analysisID.
I created a #Temp table called #DetailTable to insert the values analysisID, planid and old PlanDetailID and new PlanDetailID so that I can have them in update statement once I delete the data from plandetail table for that PlanDetailID.
Then I deleted the plandetailid from the plandetail table and recreate PlanDetailID for that DetailQuestionID. During my recreation I fetched the new PlanDetailID’s created into another temp table called #InsertedRows
After this I am running a while loop to update the temp table #DetailTable with the newly created PlanDetailID for the appropriate planID’s. The problem is here. When I have the same number of planID’s for example 2 planID’s 1,2 I will have only two old PlanDetailID and new PlanDetailID for that planID and analysisID.But When I add a new PlanID or remove a existing planID I am getting null value for that newly added or deleted planID. This is affecting my update statement of analysisdetail table as PlanDetailID cannot be null.
I tried to remove the Null value from the #DetailTable by running the update statement of analysis detail in a while loop however its not working.
DECLARE @categoryid INT = 8
DECLARE @DetailQuestionID INT = 1380
/*------- I need the query to run for the below three data.
Here i'm updating my planids that already exists in my database*/
DECLARE @planids VARCHAR(MAX) = '2,4,5'
[code].....

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I would like to ask you if there is better to recreate database structure on 2005 from 2000 and move data or to just load
2000 backup.
Currently I loaded the backup, but I am wondering if there might be slightly better performance on 2005 when recreating structure on 2005 to loading 2000 backup?
Does loading 2000 backup create 2005 binary structure?
Thanks for help in advance
ok, first, I know... I forgot to run a backup of the master database, and I forgot to run a script to caputure logins. Not that that is out of the way... I need to recreate the logins under the Securities tab below the databases. All the company databases have the user names and passwords assigned to them, but they are not able to login, because they are not able to authenticate to the SQL server first.
Is there a script that someone has that will copy the company database security info for the users and recreate them in the SQL security tab?
I know that I can rebuild them manually, but I need to delete them first in the application software, then delete them from the databases, and then recreate them in the application software... and as simple as that sounds... it is a slow moving process.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John
I'm new to my company, although not new to SQL 2005 and I found something interesting. I don't have an ERD yet, and so I was asking a co-worker what table some data was in, they told me a table that is NOT in SQL Server 2005's list of tables, views or synonyms.
I thought that was strange, and so I searched over and over again and still I couldn't find it. Then I did a select statement the table that Access thinks exists and SQL Server does not show and to my shock, the select statement pulled in data!
So how did this happen? How can I find the object in SSMS folder listing of tables/views or whatever and what am I overlooking?
Thanks,
Keith
