Cross-database References

Oct 22, 2007

Hi,

 I'm doing a web application that will get some information from an ERP.

 At this moment I have 2 databases:

1) The aspnetdb, where I have the tables for Merbership and Role

2) The ERP database

I need to put my web application tables on one of these two DB's. This tables will reference the users from the membership and some products from the ERP DB.

I will store products requests that will store both UserID (from aspnetdb) and ProductID (from ERP DB). I'm thinking to put these tables on the aspnetdb, so that all web application tables stick together. But, I will loose tha ability to make joins with the ERP database, right?

Do you think this will work? Can someone make some comments about this situation, and give me some tips?

Thank you!

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Building Groups Out Of References / Eliminate Cross References

Oct 7, 2014

I got the following problem to solve in TSQL. I don't want to use a cursor. But with the set based solution I am stuck.

Here is my problem:

DECLARE @tmp TABLE (CustomerID INT, CustomerLink INT, PRIMARY KEY(CustomerID))
INSERT @tmp
VALUES(100001,0)
,(100002,100001)
,(100003,100001)
,(100004,100003)
,(100005,100006)

[Code] ....

Desired result:

[CustomerID of a group member],[smallest CustomerID per Group]

|(GroupID)|CustomerID|CustomerLink|
|100001 |100001 |100001 |
|100001 |100002 |100001 |
|100001 |100003 |100001 |
|100001 |100004 |100001 |
|100005 |100005 |100005 |

[Code] .....

doesn't work for crossreferences :.(

RESULTSET:
CustomerID CustomerLink
100001 100001
100002 100001
100003 100001
100004 100001
100005 100005
100006 100006 --wrong

How To Update Hard Coded Database References In Stored Procedures ?

Feb 6, 2008

Hi There,

Our company deals with financial education and typically has 9 different databases which have some cross referenced stored procedures. Every time we replicate Production database into TEST and DEV environments, we had to manually update the database references in Stored procedures. and it usually takes atleast a week and until then all the dev and test work has to wait.

Hence, I wanted to write a script, Here the code below.


-- These two variables must contain a valid database name.
DECLARE @vchSearch VarChar(15),
@vchReplacement VarChar(15)

SET @vchSearch = 'Search'
SET @vchReplacement = 'Replacement'
/*
-- Select the Kaplan Database Names in the Current Server
*/

DECLARE @tblDBNames TABLE (vchDBName VarChar(30))
INSERT INTO
@tblDBNames
SELECT
Name
FROM
MASTER.DBO.SYSDATABASES
WHERE
Has_DBAccess(Name)=1
And Name IN ( 'DB_DEV', 'DB_TEST', 'DB_PROD', 'WEBDB_DEV', 'WEBDB_TEST', 'WEBDB_PROD' , 'FINDB_DEV', 'FINDB_TEST', 'FINDB_PROD')

--SELECT * FROM @DBNames

IF @vchSearch NOT IN (SELECT vchDBName FROM @tblDBNames)
BEGIN
PRINT 'Not a Valid Search DB Name'
GOTO Terminate
END
IF @vchReplacement NOT IN (SELECT vchDBNAME FROM @tblDBNames)
BEGIN
PRINT 'Not a Valid Replacement DB Name'
GOTO Terminate
END

-- We have Valid DB Names, lets proceed...
--USE @vchReplacement

SET @vchSearch = '%' + @vchSearch + '..%'
SET @vchReplacement = '%' + @vchReplacement + '..%'

-- Get Names of Stored Procedures to be altered
DECLARE @tblSProcNames TABLE (vchSPName VarChar(100))

INSERT INTO
@tblSProcNames
SELECT
DISTINCT so.Name
FROM
SYSOBJECTS so
INNER JOIN SYSCOMMENTS sc
ON sc.Id = so.Id
WHERE
so.XType='P'
AND sc.Text LIKE @vchSearch
ORDER BY
so.name

-- Now, the table @tblSprocNames has the names of stored procedures to be updated.
-- And we have to Some HOW ?!! grab the stored proc definition and use REPLACE() to
-- update the database reference
-- Then, use cursors to loop through each stored proc and upate the reference



Now, I have got stuck how to extract the body of a stored procedure into a variable.


Please Help.... I dont want spend weeks of time in the future to do this work manually.

Multiple Database / Cross Database Referencial Integrity (foreign Keys)

Feb 12, 2008

Using SQL Server Express 2005, I have two databases.  AppDB - The main application database.GeoDB - A somewhat static ZIP code / states / other geographic stuff databaseI need to have some foreign key columns in tables in AppDB reference columns in the GeoDB database tables.  Eventually other application database besides AppDB will be doing the same thing in our infrastructure. After googling and reading for days, here is what I
think I know:You cannot create foreign keys that reference tables in another database in SQL Server.You
cannot create foreign keys that reference columns in a view, and you definitely cannot make an index on a view that has base tables in another database.You can create a trigger that references tables in another database, but this can be flaky?  (nested/recursive trigger problem).SQLServer
2005 supports multiple schemas within the same database.  Maybe I should logically separate my databases this way?  Seems like it would be a tough solution to manage since I already have some databases live in production that will eventually use this 'static' GeoDB.  Also, seems like it
wouldn't be as portable as keeping the GeoDB info in its own database,
but maybe I'm being too software engineer-ish here - afraid of low
cohesion, high coupling.I will greatly appreciate any advice I can get, or any more options I am missing.  Thanks,Adam Nofsingerucnmedia.com

Cross Database Operations

May 6, 2008

Hi,
I'm trying to get data from several databses of different kinds (Sql Server and Oracle) and from different servers - is that possible ?
If not - is there any way to copy some data from one database to another - like tables and their content (or partial content) ?

I tried to use "select name from <database name>..sysobjects where xtype = 'U'" but I get security error.

thanks,

Cross Database Manipulation

May 4, 2004

Hi everyone!

I recently found out that using ADO to connect to the SQL server without mentionning the data source; then, by sending a query with the following syntax: dbname.owner.tablename.columnname... an implicit connection to the data source (database) is performed automatically. This way of connecting allowed me to manipulate accross two or more databases thing that is necessary in my project.
My question is:

1- Do anyone have any bad experience and/or negative consequence to such connectivity (memory consumption, unexpected disconnection, ...)? Please consider a very high frequency of manipulation since we are dealing here with a 24/24 hour operational site.

2- Are there any alternative solutions for cross database manipulation (select, insert, update, delete)?

Thanks

Cross Database Dependencies

Jan 3, 2008

As far as I know SQL Server 2005 lists only dependencies within the same database. In many cases though there are objects in one database depending on objects in a different database on the same server. I unsuccessfully looked for a tool to list those and I ended up creating a script to do the job instead. Any improvements are appreciated, e.g. the script uses syscomments which may no longer be available in the next SQL Server version - I have not found a replacement sys.XXX table yet. Please note that you need to use a connection with access to all the SQL databases on a server and that it may take a while to run the script below if you have many databases with numerous objects in there. On the other hand these are exactly the cases when you need to know which of the thousands of objects are dependent on the table or view you are looking at.

P.S. Does anybody know where the extended properties get stored (hint - not in syscomments)? I was looking for those too, since often I document in the description of a field that it links to "DatabaseABC.dbo.TableXYZ.Field1"

Plamen Kouzov

==========
declare @searchstring varchar(50)
declare @dbid int
declare @DBName varchar(1024)
declare @command varchar(1024)

Cross Geo Database Mirroring

Feb 26, 2008

I'm not personally a DBA or claim to be a database expert, instead I am a software architect who works closely with database architects and DBA's. I'm presently architecting a system where we will have a smart client used in both Europe and the United States from the same database instance.

The system is to be used for performance testing of devices and then the results will be available to management through the same smart client used by test engineers etc. The first release is operational in the United States today with Poland coming online shortly.

Today we are weighing our options between having cross-geo database mirroring or merely having the database server in the United States with application server level caching implemented in Poland and the United States.

The .net framework's Windows Communication Foundation is used with a netTcpBinding and the service layer is asynchronous with the reliableSession option enabled.

Does anyone have any feedback on whether you would go with cross-geo database mirroring or would you use local application servers with possibly some caching capabilities at that layer? Please also describe the benefits and any risks associated with each also...

Thanks in advance,

Doug Holland

Cross-database Dependency Check

Oct 28, 2004

Is there anyway to check for cross-database dependencies?

For example:
I have a stored proc in the Pubs database that contains a query that references a table in the Northwind database (as well as reference a table in the Pubs database.) I'm having no problems finding the depencency for the Pubs table. I can't seem to find the dependency for the Northwind table.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cross Database Activation Security

May 25, 2006

I have two databases Basket_ODS and Intelligence_ODS.

I created a user in the Basket_ODS and Intelligence_ODS databases as follows:

USE Basket_ods

GO

CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '*******'

CREATE USER BasketServiceUser WITHOUT LOGIN

ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON SERVICE::[Order Send] TO BasketServiceUser

GRANT CONTROL ON SERVICE::[Order Send]

TO BasketServiceUser

CREATE CERTIFICATE BasketServiceCertPriv

AUTHORIZATION BasketServiceUser

WITH SUBJECT = 'ForBasketService'

BACKUP CERTIFICATE BasketServiceCertPriv

TO FILE = 'BasketServiceCertPub'

In the other database...

I created the following:

USE Intelligence_ODS

GO

CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '************

USE Intelligence_ODS

GO

CREATE USER BasketServiceUser WITHOUT LOGIN

CREATE CERTIFICATE BasketServiceCertPub

AUTHORIZATION BasketServiceUser

FROM FILE = 'BasketServiceCertPub'

My Queue is in BASKET_ODS and is set up as:

ALTER QUEUE ODS.[Order Process Queue] WITH

ACTIVATION (

STATUS = ON,

PROCEDURE_NAME = ODS.ProcessOrderQueue,

MAX_QUEUE_READERS = 4,

EXECUTE AS 'BasketServiceUser'

)

I have performed the following grants in Basket_ODS

grant execute on ODS.ProcessOrderQueue to BasketServiceUser

ProcessOrderQueue calls [ODS].[MoveOrderTotals_Core] in the Intelligence_ODS database.

grant execute on [ODS].[MoveOrderTotals_Core] to BasketServiceUser

ProcessOrderQueue proc is set as follows:

ALTER procedure [ODS].[ProcessOrderQueue]

WITH EXECUTE AS 'BasketServiceUser'

[ODS].[MoveOrderTotals_Core] is set up as follows:

when I run ProcessOrderQueue I get an error message:

ALTER procedure [ODS].[MoveOrderTotals_Core](@Orderid uniqueidentifier)

with execute as 'BasketServiceUser'

I just don't understand when I run ProcessOrderQueue I get the following error message (when database trust is turned off)

The server principal "sa" is not able to access the database "Intelligence_ODS" under the current security context.

Can you help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've spent so much time on this security stuff. Is there another way to do this that is more straight forward without using database trust?

Mirroring And Cross Database Queries

Feb 4, 2008

This may be a newbie question but...

Say for example DatabaseA has failed over to the mirror. Then you call a stored procedure in that database that queries a table on DatabaseB that is on the principle (has not failed). What happens? Is mirroring smart enough to know that? If not, are there workarounds? Perphaps manually failing over the other databases?

Thanks

How Efficient Is Cross Database Selects

Hello,

I want to know how efficient are cross database selects such as

select column from data.dbo.table;

The reason I'm inquiring is because I want to design a database whereas I'm tightly coupling the tables in several databases that are all referencing each other in some way shape or form.

If it is not too efficient or if you know of a way to make these cross database selects more efficient please offer the suggestion.

Cross Database Query Performance

Feb 17, 2008

Hello All,

I have an issue where my SQL query is taking an exceedingly long time to execute. It joins tables in 2 different databases. When I import the tables from both my databases into a single database and execute the query, it executes instantly!

I had a look at the execution plans of the same query when executed within a single database and the query when executed with tables across databases and there were differences in the execution plan. The single database query had parallelism whereas the query for cross database joins didnt have any parallelism.

Both the databases are in the same server.

I havent seen a case where cross database joins impact query performance so much. Any pointers?

Thanks

Application Roles For Cross-Database Joins

Aug 25, 2005

I have an application that segregates data into two differentdatabases. Database A has stored procs that perform joins betweentables in database A and database B. I am thinking that I have reachedthe limits of Application Roles, but correct me if I am wrong.My application creates a connection to database A as 'testuser' withread only access, then executes sp_setapprole to gain read writepermissions. Even then the only way 'testuser' can get data out of thedatabases is via stored procs or views, no access to tables directly.Anyone know of a solution? Here is the error I get:Server: Msg 916, Level 14, State 1, Procedure pr_GetLocationInfo, Line38Server user 'testuser' is not a valid user in database 'DatabaseB'The system user is in fact in database A and B.thanksJason Schaitel

Confusing Cross-Database Permissions Issue

Jul 25, 2007

We're trying to follow the principle of least privilege here in setting up a user account for our website to use to access SQL Server 2005, but we're having a nightmarish time getting it to work.

The issue seems to be trying to get a limited access user account the ability to cross databases.

Here's the situation:

We have a User [WebUser] that we want to grant access to the database. This account has a login [WebUser] that has username=WebUser and password=ALongPassword.

This user only calls stored procedures in the database [WebData].

However, some of the stored procedures in [WebData] call stored procedures in the database [dbutil].

One of the stored procedures in [dbutil] inserts records into a table in a third database [dbutil_temp].[DebugLog].

This all works out great from my development account using Windows Authentication.

But as you might guess, if I do something like "EXECUTE AS [WebUser]" and run the same procedure on [WebData] things fall apart quickly. I've looked online regarding cross-database ownership chaining, but quite frankly, the whole users/logins/roles/schemas security model is confusing, and I'm getting nowhere fast on my own.

We really only want [WebUser] to have CONNECT and EXECUTE permissions on the primary [WebData] database, but it seems like we've got to do a lot more than that to get this to work.

I'd appreciate any help...

Transact SQL :: Bug In REVERT During Cross Database Call

I have noticed rather strange behaviour of EXECUTE AS and REVERT sequence during the cross database calls which appear to be a bug. I tested this issue on developer edition of SQL Server 2012

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.5343.0 (X64)

 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation
 Developer Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)

This issue causes problems in SSISDB where similar piece of code appears in [catalog].[start_execution] and some other scripts in the [internal] schema. This was previous discussed in [URL] The following script illustrates the issue:

USE [master]

Avoid Cross Database Views In Data Warehouse

May 4, 2007

We have a relational database (rd) and a data warehouse (dw). This dw has a table (tw) with all key fields (dimension keys) and metric related (measures) fields. This table is populated with monthly data each month. The tw is joined to various look up views present in the dw to obtain name fields from rd. The DBA wants me to remove the look up views. I now have following 2 options that I can think of –

1)Further de-normalize the tw and store the name fields as well. However, there are two issues with this option –

a.The size of tw will grow tremendously.
b.We are storing monthly data and the values in the name fields may change after some time. Then we will have to put in additional views/objects to obtain the latest name.

2)Using ETL, obtain the copy of rd tables overnight in dw. We will then join tw with these tables and there will no longer be cross database joins. However, this will be a burden on maintenance and support.

As of now these are the possible options I can come up with. Which one would you suggest and why? If you have another option, please let me know.

Thank you all in advance,

sajmera
