Ways Of Transferring Database Between Two Different Servers
Dec 1, 2006
hello friends,
I need to transfer my database from one server to database on another server every 24 hours. I can create windows application but it will be cumbersome to write bulk of code . So can u suggest me some service or any other way through query or stored procedure or by job scheduling which can run every 24 hours and move my data from one database on one server to another sql database. Both database systems are sql server 2000 but servers are diffeerent so how to connect them while transferring dbs. ? Any help is appreciated.

Hey - I am trying to create a procedure that will retrieve information from multiple SQL Servers. For example, I want to use a select statement on a systems table. Instead of running it from each server, I would rather run it from one and get info on all the servers. To do this, I know that i can 'link' a Server and then make select calls to that server. Some of the other administrators have expressed concern with this. Are there issues that I should research before linking servers. Is there a better way to do what I want to do? Any Input would be appreciated.
I need some advice on copying databases, stored procedures, views, logins ..etc from a SQL Serevr 7.0 server, to a new SQL Server 2000 server. Is it better to backup the databases on one server and then restore them to the other. Or id it easier to use the Wizards to Import everything from new server, or to Export everything from the old server ?
Any advice would be appreciated. I need to ensure that I do not miss anything, in particular Stored Procedures in the old master database.
Hi! I have weekly full db backups, daily differential log backups and transaction log backups every 15 minutes on the prod. db server. What is the fastest way to make the staging server have the current version of the db. in the production server? Do I always have to take a full db. backup on the prod. server, zip the file, copy the file to staging, unzip the file and then restore it on staging? Is is possible to use the existing combination of full, diff and trans. log backups to make the restoration process faster?
Transferring objects between sql servers having db created using different usernames :
We have a local sql2000 db created using username abc, and another SQL2000db at a remote location where we have hosted our database. In our remotelocation the db username is ourdomain. How do we transfer all objects from local db created using username abc to remote db created using ourdomain.? Is it possible to exclude usernames while transferring objects between sql servers?? Please help
I need to append data from a database on one server to a table in a databaseon a different server. Both servers are running SQL 7. How can that be done?Thanks.
I have 2 tables with the following structure: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[table1] ( [RID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [RText] [varchar] (400) NULL , [DateModified] [datetime] NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Table2] ( [GrpRID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [GrpID] [varchar] (10) NOT NULL , [RID] [int] NOT NULL , [Status] [bit] NULL , [SortOrder] [int] NULL , [DateModified] [datetime] NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO I am transfering 2 table between 2 SQL server based on GrpRID from table2. Since RID is identity in table1 sometimes it is different text for spesific Rid in second server. Some how I need to get the match the right text from server1 to server2 and if text doesn't exists create a bew entry in table1 with the update to table2 wich should reflect correct RID.
My question is, why did I have to use the allegedly optional named argument @DefLanguage when using sp_AddLogin? I had often tried to use the @SID parameter of sp_AddLogin to synchronize users betwixt our servers. Previous efforts had failed.
Per Transact-SQL Help, here’s the syntax for AddLogin:
Then I SET the variables: SET @Loginame = 'MyUserName' SET @Passwd = 'UsersPwd' SET @DefDB = 'UsersDB' SET @SID = 0x6370170BDAAFF640AD5CEB586EA87C2C -- UserSID for MyUserName from sister server
Then I EXECuted the proc. EXEC sp_AddLogin @Loginame , @Passwd , @DefDB , @SID
This generated the following error (instead of ‘?’, I saw squares, as in unprintable characters):
Server: Msg 15033, Level 16, State 1, Line 0 '????????' is not a valid official language name.
I didn’t understand this at all at first, but out of desparation, I DECLAREd & SET the @DefLanguage argument...And it worked! That is:
Has any1 noticed that when they are transferring SQL tables from one server (or machine) to another that the primary keys drop from the table (or is it just me). If so, has someone figured out why? and how to rectify this (apparent) error.
How many ways are there to connect to a database in ASP.NET? Could someone list them in a 1,2,3... manner. For those who are going to ask why I want to know this and why I don't do one way, I'll explain after I get the answer.
Hi all,Here is my situation.I have an application that uses SQL 2000. The client has a programthat uses MSDE. The client MUST have the MSDE version of the Database.What I have done is to create a SQL 2000 Database that is exactly likethe MSDE version. What I wish to do, is at regularly scheduledintervals, update the SQL 2000 Data with the newest MSDE Data.On my clients server, they have both MSDE and SQL 2000 installedthe msde has a user name and password to access it, whereas the SQL2000 uses authenticated mode to access it.What I'm trying to do is to write a bunch of SQL Queries, that I canrun that will copy over the new Data, but I'm having problems accessingthe msde database in query analyzer from the SQL DatabaseCan anyone give me hints on the best way to try thisThanksScott

Hi,Ive been building a project on a local server and now need to transfer the files and database over to the live server. I have managed to transfer the files quite easily, however I am having a few problems transferring the database using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. When I try importing data to the live database, all the data and tables are brought across however some of the values for the fields are lost. For example all the fields which had a primary key no longer have one, and all the set default values for the fields are also lost. Ive been considering just going through every table in the database and re-entering the correct values for the fields, but this seems a bit time consuming and I'm also concerned about possible errors which could arise as there will be an inconsistency.Another method I tried was copying the SQL query across which created all the tables and the correct values for the fields. However when I tried to import the data an error was produced as you cannot import data into a table which has read only fields etc..Does anyone know a solution?Thanks for your time.
I need to transfer a database (contining one table) containing over 35 million records from one server to another. I have two options at present : (a) Use DTS to do the transfer (b) Copy the mdf file across and sp_attach_db it
Does any1 have a better idea, or does any1 know which of the two methods will be the quickest?
I have a SSIS package that transfers a couple of tables from one database to another database on the same server. It works fine in most of the machines we tested with. However on one of the customer machines, it consistently fails with the error message, The Return value was unknown. The process exit code was -1073741795. The step failed.
This package runs as a scheduled job on the sql agent. When i did a sql profiler to see what is going on, i noticed that the last step before the bulk insert, it gets the collation and the schema id of the 2 tables. My guess is, it compares these values from the source and destination databases and makes sure everything is ok before copying.
On a machine where this works, it goes ahead with the the next step which is the bulk insert itself. Whereas on the machines where it doesn't work, it stops right after this step. i.e. it does not even bother to call the 'bulk insert' api. Which makes me think it is doing some kind of validation with these values and it is getting something that is not expected.
If the collation or the schema was an issue, why throw an 'return value unknown' error? Can the error be more specific? Any other possible reasons for such a behavior? Any clues?
I set up a basic Transfer Database task (online, copy) to copy a DB. It works great except for the fact that it isn't transferring the PK's and FK's. It also looks like it did not transfer the views. Any idea why? Anything else the Transfer Database task doesn't actually transfer?

I want move data from informix to SQL server 7.0 every 10 seconds. I do not know what is the best way. It seems that I need create a DTS package and schdule the task from SQL server Agent, but can the task be schduled to reoccurred every 10 seconds?
I have to made a change and want to see it this is possible. The column IDPRT# is used here as MAX. THe user wants to exclude a few of the items which skews the average. Can i also select the IDPRT# a second time? and then in the CRystal reports I can select not =? but will this mess up the MAX line in any way?
SELECT "OEIND94"."IDDOCD" AS INV_DATE, "OEIND94"."IDORD#" AS ORD_NUM, "OEIND94"."IDORDT" AS ORD_TYPE, "OEIND94"."IDPRLC" AS PROD_FAMILY, "OEIND94"."IDPR$C" AS PRICE_CODE, "OEIND94"."IDCOM#", MAX("OEIND94"."IDPRT#") AS ITEM_REF, "ICPRT1"."IARCC4" AS PROD_TYPE,
My week starts on Monday rather than on Sunday which is default(US, English) in SQL Server and would like to change the same so I would get proper weeknumber and dayindex using DATEPART.
I am looking at different ways of setting DATEFIRST(SET DATEFIRST 1) in SQL Server 2005.
I could set in a stored procedure, but this isn't a feasible way for me because I am using .nettiers to generate by business objects and stored procedures. I need to alter the sp's everytime I newly generate the code and sp's.
I couldn't set it in a function which I was hoping initially. I understand this datefirst is stored in one of the sys table in MASTER DB and I couldn't find a straight forward way to change this.
Can anyone suggest me a way to set the DATEFIRST either at a database level or at a server level(probably by changing the sys table in MASTER DB).
I have I rather complex query and need to display a Sum in different ways. Now I'm wondering if the performance improves if you nest the queries in the described way. To me it looks, as if the sum just has to be calculated once?
select SUM(tiempo) as time_minutes, CONVERT(varchar(5), dateadd (minute,sum(tiempo),'1900-1-1 0:00'), 114) as time_hours, SUM(time)* 0.95 as time_discount from table
Select tiempo as time_minutes, CONVERT(varchar(5), dateadd (minute,tiempo,'1900-1-1 0:00'), 114) as time_hours, tiempo * 0.95 as time_discount From ( Select Sum(tiempo) as tiempo from table)a
I'm trying to simplify a SQL Stored Procedure.The query accepts an int, @ItemTypeID intI have the Query:SELECT ... FROM ItemList WHERE ItemTypeID = @ItemTypeIDor, if @ItemTypeID is 0,SELECT ... FROM ItemList Is there a way to do this query without doing:IF @ItemTypeID = 0BEGIN ...SELECT QUERY...ENDELSEBEGIN ...SELECT QUERY...END?
I need to know which are the best ways to connect to a remote SQL SERVER 2000 from inside a VB6 application. By remote I mean on a dedicated server outside my LAN that I can access by IP address.
