How Can I Create An Install Script Using An Existing Database?

May 19, 2005

I have a database full of tables but no install script. Is there a way
I can use EM or QA to create a create database with all the tables
script?

What I am trying to avoid is going through by hand to all these tables and writing out the sql to create the tables...

I know you can do it one table at a time in QA by clicking on the table
and choosing 'Script object as new', but I was wondering if there was a
way to do this for an entire database at once, instead of one table at
a time...


Thanks!

Create A Testing Database Out Of Existing DB

May 24, 2007

Hello All,
 I was wondering if anybody can help me with the following question:
I'm working on the application where the Database, it's table (2) and several stored procedures are involved. The database is SQL Server 2000. It's also very old and involves a lot of operations, stored proc and so on. I just need to re-write a piece of the app which is using existing stored proc. Most of them are DELETE, INSERT and so on. I don't want to work with real stage DB and need to make a copy of the Database to my Dev box. So I tried:
* Right click, All Tasks, Export Data into the newly created database on my dev box.
That doesn't work, every time I try doing it, it fails somewhere in the middle of the process. I'm thinking it happens because of complexity of the database. I tried several options there already. Still nothing. I need the whole databse to be copied because I'm not sure which stored proc the app is using so I need them all, and tables too. Is there another way of doing this?
Thank you,
Tatyana

Does SSRS Have To Create Its Own Database? Or Can It Use An Existing Empty One?

Sep 10, 2007

Hello everyone,


Greetings! I just found this group after wasting hours trying to make
SSRS work with databases that are already created (that is, the DBA
created two empty databases for me, X and XTempDB).



I keep getting "this connection string is invalid can't use this to
connect to SQL Server" in the Database Setup tab.



The problem is that to create its own database, SSRS needs dbcreator
and securityadmin roles (please correct me if I'm wrong here). And I'm
having a helluva problem trying to convince the DBA to give me
temporary dbcreator and securityadmin roles!

Is there any document or
something that I can use to convince him that SSRS will not do
anything like recreating the login (because he said that the login has
already existed and has its role set up in many other databases)?


Any help, pointers, suggestions, etc. is very much appreciated.



Thanks,
Ray

Unattended Re-install Of SQL Server 2005 Express Fails To Re-create Database!

May 2, 2008

Hi,

I have a script that performs an unattended installation of SQL Server and works fine.

However, if I un-install via the control panel all the files are removed apart from the databases that are created by me when SQl server was installed. This is good and ensures data is not deleted.

The files left over are in the following directory:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData
and contains:
MyDatabase.mdf
MyDatabase_log.LDF

The problem I have is after performing the re-installtion of SQL server (unattended) I am unable to create a new database with the same name (in this instance called "myDatabase").

The actual files are physically there so this is the reason a new database with the same name cannot be creacted.

Again this is ok again because it ensures I cannot overwrite existing data. However I am unable to re-attach this database to SQl server so I can continue to use it!

The question is:

How do I make this database usable again after an unattended install? Is there a parameter I am missing?

Below are the commands I use that are passed to the installation of SQL Server as command line parameters:

#define SQL_SILENT "-q /passive /norebootchk /qn reboot=ReallySuppress"
#define SQL_USERNAME "username=MyUserName"
#define SQL_COMPANYNAME "companyname=MyCompanyName"
#define SQL_ADDLOCAL "addlocal=ALL"
#define SQL_DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS "disablenetworkprotocols=0"
#define SQL_INSTANCENAME "instancename=MSSQLSERVER"
#define SQL_SQLAUTOSTART "SQLAUTOSTART=1"
#define SQL_SECURITYMODE "SECURITYMODE=SQL"
#define SQL_SAPWD "SAPWD=#Password#"
#define SQL_SAVESYSDB "1"
#define SQL_USESYSDB ""
#define SQL_INSTALLSQLDIR ""
#define SQL_INSTALLDATADIR ""

#define SQL_PARAMETERS SQL_SILENT + " " + SQL_USERNAME + " " + SQL_COMPANYNAME + " " + SQL_ADDLOCAL + " " + SQL_DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS + " " + SQL_INSTANCENAME + " " + SQL_USESYSDB + " " + SQL_INSTALLSQLDIR + " " + SQL_INSTALLDATADIR + " " + SQL_SAVESYSDB + " " + SQL_SQLAUTOSTART + " " + SQL_SECURITYMODE + " " + SQL_SAPWD


The last four commands I have played around with but for some reason SQL Server service will not start when these are used! (This is a different issue though!).


Any advice would be gratefully accepted.

Thanks

Paul

SQL Express Won't Install, Seeing Existing Product Key

hello,

WIN 2003 web edition. Purchased sql 2005 standard because express was dropping transactions due to too many connections. Installation failed, found out we couldn't install it on 2003 web edition.

Am now trying to re-install express to get the store back online and it is failing, says it sees an existing product key and it is incorrect.

I have uninstalled everything (about 100x's) and even there is nothing in the hkey_local machinesoftwaremicrosoftwindowsuninstall list of guids that has anything to do with sql server, but the install still won't work.

PLEASE answer soon, I have definitely lost this client for good but I would like to get their site up asap.

How To Install SS2005 On New Nodes In Existing Cluster For Multiple Instances ???

Oct 5, 2007

Hi There

I have found no real documentation on this, so any links would be greatly appreciated.

We have an existing 2 node active active cluster.

A default and and named instance SS2005 Enterprise Edition are installed on the cluster.

Recently we acquired new hardware, 2 servers, which we added to the cluster so we now have a 4 node cluster.

The 2 new nodes have OS etc installed.

Now i have installed sql on a new multi node cluster, i have upgraded sql server in an existing cluster BUT i have never installed sql on an existing cluster for new nodes for multiple instances.

Now i presume you simply run the install on one of the new nodes, do this for a default instance, selecting both 2 new nodes to installl on. And do this again for the named instance.

But in the past I have never been promoted for which nodes to install sql on, it simply does all the nodes BUT i do not want this.

And how will the cluster know where the binary files are for each instance on the new nodes?

In a nutshell, how do i install sql server 2005 for 2 new nodes in an existing 4 node cluster for multiple instances ?

Thanx

Can't Create Or Edit Existing Objects From SQL SRV 7.0

May 4, 1999

Hello,

I just upgraded our existing 6.5 installation with the new SQL server 7.0. I can't get any of the existing stored procedures which I imported from 6.5 into 7.0 to allow me to edit them. I do all of my design from Visual InterDev and the SQL Server 6.5 version would allow me to create and edit stored procedures. It would also allow me to create/design new tables.

With SQL Server 7.0 I do not have an option to edit or create any of these items. I have created a new login, assigned it a password, given it admin rights/roles and I am still unable to remotely create these items. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any assistance

Create New Table From Several Existing Tables?

Apr 8, 2012

I have three tables :

England_Summer_2001
England_Summer_2002
England_Summer_2003

The tables have the following columns :

Player, Position, [From], [To], Fee, Type, ID, League, Window

I want to create a new table, EnglandFinal with all the data from the three tables although I'm guessing it would not be a good idea to copy the primary keys (ID column) as they would clash.

I have played around with CREATE and INSERT into and UNION but I get various errors. I'm sure I've done this before!

This creates a table from a single table :

select * into Final
from England_Summer_2001

Cannot Create New Or Change Existing Subscriptions

Jun 2, 2006

We are having problems when creating new subscriptions or when trying to edit existing subscriptions. When editing an existing subscription, the report manager displays "An Internal error occured" message and when I look in the log the error says
Only members of sysadmin role are allowed to update or delete jobs owned by a different login

When trying to create a new subscription the report manager displays "An internal error occured" and the log says
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The schedule was not attached to the specified job. The schedule owner and the job owner must be the same or the operation must be performed by a sysadmin.

We are running sql reporting services 2005 sp1. The report server database server is on a different machine to the reporting server. The existing subscriptions were set up previously on another report server which was originally our dev server. These subscriptions are working just can't change them, or create new ones.
Any help is much appreciated.

I want the results to be in following way

7               Peter              Jason               5/23/2015     123.02

May be we may do by dense_rank or Row_Number, but I couldn't get the exact query to produce based on the above table values.  There are some duplicates in the table(which are not duplicates as per the Business). For those duplicated Unique ID should be same(Marked in Orange Color which are duplicates).
