Im building a site on my pc using SQLExpress and i have a question about something. The database im working on has data inside the tables and i was wondering how i would move that to a different server though a script with all the data in the table.
View 3 RepliesWhat is the best way to create a blank copy of my database? I really want some of the tables to keep the data in them, these are some of the lookup table.
I appreciate your help.
Hi, I'm a noob who sucks at programming, and sucks even more when it comes to database.
I'm operating a small website with an SQL Server database that drives my shopping cart. I want to close this website down, but I don't want to lose all the data in the database in case I want to do something in the future.
How do you backup the entire database into a file so i might be able to import it at later times? Do I have to do this with SQL, T-SQL, or the manager?
I have built a template database which I'm finally pleased with, however I want to periodically duplicate the design - not data into a new database. How can I duplicate a database? I was hoping to right mouse, copy, then right mouse, paste, and then be prompted for the new name but no such luck.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to do a complete database search in SQL server? For instance, if I have a criteria "DBFORUMS", I would like to scan through all user tables in my database to get all records with the word "DBFORUMS" stored, just like want we are doing in "Quick Search" in dbforums site.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, this is my first post on these forums, so please excuse me if this topic has already been covered.
I'm currently working in a power station for student vacation work placement. I need to export data from a database that gets it's data from machinery and inputs out in the plant. The machines that provide this input put it into a database, and I need to find the relevant data to export.
My problem is that, in some cases, the sample data that i'm given may be under different field names, in a completely unrelated table. I was looking for a way to search the entire database (250+ tables) for a certain string, so I can find where it is in the database, and run queries on the table it originates from. For example:
My sample data shows me that I have an object with the ID Y03A3DEA_TH1. I know this ID will occur somewhere else in the database, but i'm just not sure where.
If anyone knows of any way that I can search the entire database for specific data, either using tools in MS SQL 2000, or 3rd party apps, i would greatly appreciate their help.
Thanks a lot,

Hi,
Is it possible to copy a database from the existing database. I mean to say creating a duplicating database.
Note: I can do it by using "Generate SQL Server Script Wizard" or "Database Publishing Wizard" which saves a some filename.sql and later executing this will create another database by assigning some xyzdatabase name.
My main motive is copying a database in a single line script without using this lengthy sciprt.
Example
FirstDatabase (contains 10 tables 10 stored procedures)
SecondDatabase (also contains 10 tables 10 stored procedures)
If possible, can you write a script that attach a database from the C:MyTemporaryDatabase
Because this i need through programming Visual Basic using SQL Server. I want to create some temporary database.
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks.

I have to replace gl_number 25050-80 with gl_number 25050-80 in the entire database. I know how to do that in a table but not in all tables.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to replace every single 1/1/1900 date I have in my system with null, on an entire database level. I never want them, they cause multiple issues, and I need them gone.
I have made a trigger on a test table that works for inserts, but not updates:
CREATE TRIGGER UpdateDate ON test FOR INSERT AS
IF EXISTS (select * FROM inserted WHERE CheckDate ='1/1/1900')
BEGIN
UPDATE test SET CheckDate=Null
FROM test T INNER JOIN inserted I ON T.AutoID=I.AutoID
WHERE I.CheckDate='1/1/1900'
END
Also, it only works on this table, and the specific field mentioned.
I am looking for a global, databse level trigger that will replace 1/1/1900 with null whenever it appears from an insert, or an update statement.
I have saved a word somewhere in somefield which i can't remember..
is there any way to search for the word in the entire datebase and show in which table and field it is stored?
Hi,
I'm found this sample for BACKUP DATABASE statement in SQL Server 2000 Book
Online, but is seemed that only save file to server. How can I save backup
file to local computer? or there is other way as easy as this statement for
backup/restore database?
-- Create a logical backup device for the full MyNwind backup.
USE master
EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk', 'MyNwind_1',
DISK ='c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLBACKUPMyNwind_1.dat'
-- Back up the full MyNwind database.
BACKUP DATABASE MyNwind TO MyNwind_1

Tien,
After found out the `transfer object` command in MS SQL EM didn`t work well
in my databases, I started code by myself to generate the `Create xxx` statements to copy objects across databases (structure only) using SQL.
I`ve coded out most of them, logins, defaults, UDT, tables, stored procedures,
but then I started to have problems with primary keys and foreign key const.
Has anyone tried to do the same thing before or is there some SQL scripts created to handle this already? Please advise me.
I am thinking to use SQL-DMO with VBscript now. But I still prefer a good
SQL script (old thought, the DB-Lib based `isql` is more reliable than the
SQL-OLE).
Thanks for any suggestion.

I am attempting to only query the lowest year, and month from my entire production database. I am using the following query and when I do it individually it will bring back the lowest year but also with additional years. How can I remove those other years so I can only query the lowest year and month from the entire database?
Code:
select distinct RRCID, MIN(YEAR)as YEAR, MONTH
from Gas_Prodv1
where RRCID = 1221376
group by RRCID, MONTH
order by YEAR, MONTH

This problem may appear trivial to you guys but is troubling me since quite some time now! The problem is that I created a website using express studio happily and it worked flawlessly on the local host. Now I want to move it to a remote server and my host created a database name ASPNETDB for me on the server. The problem is that that ASPNETDB database is virtually empty and I want to copy all my tables,stored procedures etc etc(complete database) to the remote ASPNETDB database. How can I do that? In the management studio express edition there is no command available to copy paste all contents of the database to another database. Please help I am quite confused!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to create some kind of log file or table that will record whenever an insert, update or delete is made to any table in a database. I have seen triggers that do this kind of thing on a table level. Can this be done with a trigger or a stored procedure on a database level? If so some kind of example or syntax would be great.
TIA.

I have read the previous threads on the bugs with this task mainly: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1438968&SiteID=1 . These are great posts that helpmed me avoid wasting time. I haven't seen one yet that addresses copying an entire database including the sql server logins.
I would like to import the ENTIRE database from one (2005) server to another(2005) using the SSIS Transfer SQL Object task (not just sprocs,tables,views and functions). I have figured out how to pull the tables,views,sprocs and functions ... by using an execute sql task to drop these objects. But I cannot get this to work for users since the user dbo cannot be dropped and guest can only be disabled. I am creating a new database (this is the database where the sql objects will be copied to) via management studio to test this. There has to ba a way to get this working ... Microsoft must have published some sort of KB article on this task or a Script Task using SMO object calls. If need be I can drop the entire database on the target machine and have SSIS recreate it.
The only reason I'm willing to take a risk with SSIS rather than backup and restore is because of time constraints (I assume the SSIS task is faster) and backup storage administration.

I've had issues where backup up and restoring data from sqlserver2005 does not reattach the data to the correct users. Any tips on how to best accomplish full database moves where data is owned by different security users?
thanks,
1) I can't get the 'copy database' function to work from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2005. I connect ok. Everything goes to the last step and then it fails.2) I cant get a SQL server 2008 backup to restore on SQL SEerver 2005 either.
The only way I know that works is to script the creation of all tables then export and import. This does work.
How can I get the 'entire' database, structure and data, from 2008 to 2005?
ThanksSQL newbie.
How can I copy the entire database (all the objects from one database to another database)?

Hello,
i have a problem that i don't understand why it occurs: i have a package like this (resumed and ordered by its correspondingdata flow):
1. move data files to a path through by a file system task
2. import data of data files to a sqlserver database (each file through its own data flow). The origin of data is in files that have been moved to the path of step 1
3. execute a procedure of database (sql task) to manipulate data and finally export resume (data flow) to a new file in the path (moved by other file system task)
PROBLEM: if i execute the package task by task (one by one), it runs ok, but then when i build and run package as a whole (debug), it produces an error in the data flow such as it doesnt' find the path to take data of data flow (it doesn't find the source). Really it doesn't find source because the data files aren't in its correct path (like step 1 had failed). In summary, it looks like if the order of the task of package aren't correct when i execute the entire package, because the log doesn't thread any error about step 1 (file system task).
ERROR MESSAGE: an OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37
Thanks for any help.

I need to search all of the tables in a DB for a specific number (say, 123456). I am unsure of which tables may have this number in it. Is there a way to search an entire DB for a specific criteria?
This is what I want:
Select *
From [db]
where [column] like '%123456%'
I understand why this dosen't work (the DB doesn't have column names), but is there a way to display table names where this number exists? If I had that, then I could search the tables individually.

Hi All,
Could anybody tell me how to make a copy of an entire database on the same server? The copy wizard won't allow the a copy to be made on the same server.
And I believe I won't be able to detach the database and re-attach it to a newly created database with a different name.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,I need to lock a table so that Inserts are prevented as well as deleted andupdates. At present I'm thinking this might do it:SELECT * FROM myTable WITH(UPLOCK)but then again I'm not sure whether this will cover the insert case.Thanks,Robin
