I'm a newbie to script writing. I'm trying to write a script to copy alldata from a table to the same table in a 2nd database. Both databases areon the same server and are identical in design. I can do this with DTS butwanted a script I could email to a user to run in Query Analyzer.Example:Copy entire table called 'Customers' in the 'Data01' database totable 'Customers' in the 'Data02' databaseI want to overwrite all data in the destination table.Thanks
Hi i have set up two very simple tables, I want a user to be able to create a basic account ( data stored in User_Profile table with Id set as the Primery Key as Identity) I want the user to be able to be able to return to their account at a later date and then post multiple reviews of different bands they have seen at a later date. I kept the tables in my example very simple so I could get my head around the concept, but generally, I want to connect the Id (PK) value in User_Profile table to the User_Id filed in the User_Review table, so every review that user writes, will be connected directly to their Id.
Any help you could give would be fantastic a i have no idea where to start!!!
User_Profile
Id int, ( as primary Identity Key)
Name
City
Country
I have a second table called User Reviews
User_Revews
Revew_Id int , ( as primary Identity Key)
User_Id int, ( I want this to contain the Id value in the User profile Table)
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.
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.

Hi! I've some data in a table, and I want to add these records to another table, but I tried yet with select ... Into ... and I lose all the data from this one. I need to ADD the data from table to table. Any suggestion? Thx
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
How can I do in order that a table show all its rows in a page?And if the table can only show a number of rows cause arrive to the end of the page show the table in the next page?
I am giving the following statement outside the begin tran block in a stored procedure: select * from table1 with (holdlock) where column1 = @colValue I have the following two questions regarding above situation:
Being outside the begin tran block, will the select statement cause a lock to be held or it has to be within the begin tran block for the lock to be held? Will the select statement hold a lock only on the row or rows matching the where clause, or it may lock a page or even the entire table in this situation? Thanks
The problem that I am having is that I am not getting the results from an entire table, just a small subset. The sql command is "Select * from login", which has always implied to me, get everything, to end of table, or, until I tell you to stop. I am getting exactly, 10 items as input, and then it stops. I am including the code below in the hopes that someone can spot what it is that I am doing wrong.
The purpose of the routine is to convert a user login database into a new, expanded format.
TIA, Tom

Currently, I'm exporting a database from production to local (test)machine. I've done this several times without problem, but during thelast few days, the primary keys have failed to export. Would anyoneknow what options might keep the keys from exporting?Thanks,Louis
Hello, I have a table that I want to cache. So, if this is my query "SELECT * FROM myTable" that I create the cache from, how can I filter the data? I really need to cache the whole table, since there are a myriad of different statements being executed against the table, so just caching a specific query won't do. I've found the best approach to make a question is writing it in code, so how can I do the following: SELECT ColNames FROM MyTableWhichShouldNowBeCached WHERE whereColumns=someParams. ColNames and someParams make up for a variation of about to 120 different queries. I use SQL 2005 express edition with advanced services. Cheers! /Eskil
This SQL statement, though carefully written to delete only selected rows, deletes the entire A_Shift_Times table:
DELETE FROM A_Shift_Times WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM Users WHERE (A_Shift_Times.time_in >= CONVERT(DATETIME, '2000-05-29 00:00:00', 102)) AND ((Users.User_Password LIKE N'mrr%') OR (Users.User_Password LIKE N'work%')))

I'm trying to create a query that searches an entire database for keywords inside of the columns for each table within the database. For instance my tables have 2 columns one named ID and the other Permission, I'd like it be able to return all the lines that are associated with that keyword. So if I search "Schedule" it returns all the lines containing that word in it within that database.
I usually go for the largest datafile and then query in-there...But now I need to automate it for several instances... I need to be able with one script quickly retrieve the top 5 largest tables for the entire instance,not by database...
The following dbo.Tables of Northwind.mdf in my .SQLEXPRESS (SQL Server Management Studio Express) are missing: dbo.Categories dbo.CustomerCustomerDemo dbo.CustomerDemographics dbo.Customers dbo.Employees dbo.EmployeeTerritories dbo.Order Details dbo.Orders dbo.Products dbo.Regions dbo.Shippers dbo.Suppliers dbo.Territories.
But, I have these dbo.Tables in a different Database "xyzDatabase". How can I copy each of these dbo.Tables to the another blank dbo.Table of Northwind Database?
I right clicked on the dbo.Categories and I saw the following thing: dbo.Categories New Table... Modify Open Table Script Table as |> CREATYE To |> DROP To |> SELECT To |> INSERT To |> New Query Editor Window File.... Clipboard UPDATE To |> DELETE to |> From the above observation,I think it is possible to copy the dbo.Table from the one Database to the Northwind Database that needs to be repaired. Please help and advise me how to do this task or tell me where I can find the Microsoft document that gives the details of this X-copy thing.
Thanks in advance, Scott Chang
P. S. I am using VB 2005 Express to create a project to learn "Calling Stored Procedures with ADO.NET" (see Paul Kimmel's article in http://www.developer.com/db/article.php/3438221) that needs the dbo.Tables of Northwind Database and my Northwind Database has been screwed up for quite a while and needs a big repair.
I need to add a child table that will tell us who the participants counselor is, what I did was I did a Make Table query based off the primary key of the Parent table and made that the link (foreign key) for the People_tbl and the Counselor_tbl, so if the counselor changes then the user adds the record to the counselor tbl and then puts in the Effective date. The problem is that when I run a report it doesn't show the present counselor always shows the old counselor?
Code: SELECT Student_ind.StudentFirstName, Student_ind.StudentLastName, Student_ind.[Student ID], People_tbl.[Family ID], People_tbl.FirstName, People_tbl.LastName, People_tbl.[Parent ID] FROM People_tbl RIGHT OUTER JOIN Student_ind ON People_tbl.[Family ID] = Student_ind.[Family ID] WHERE (People_tbl.LastName = @Enter_LastName) AND (People_tbl.FirstName = @Enter_FirstName)

I have a Users table that I use for membership. I am using username varchar(30) as the primary key for this table since username will always be unique.
The question I have is regarding how SQL Server actually stores data:
I see that when I add users, they are always stored alphabetically sorted on username.
I was expecting that all users will appear on the users table in the order they were added.
Example: I have 3 users (john, jonah, wilson). Now I added 4 user with username='bob'
If I execute select * from users, it returns me (bob, john, jonah, wilson). Look bob has become the first row of the table.
My question: Is Sql server moving 3 older rows to make room for 'bob' and it is also rebuilding part of the index due this new username 'bob'?
If this is the case, then it will have big impact if I have 100K users and I add one user that becomes firstrow. In that case 99,999 rows will have to move.
Bottom line, insert, delete will be very expensive.
I know sql server keeps data physically sorted on PK. But I am concerned here since rows are losing the order in which they were inserted.
PeopleID in People Table is the primarykey and foreign Key in PeopleCosts Table. PeopleID is an autonumber

I want to create a new copy of data for existing subversion (say from sub version 1 to 2) in the same table. when the new data is copied my PeopleID is getting incremented and how to copy the related data in the other table (PeopleCosts Table) with the new set of PeopleIDs..
