Using Two Databases With SSRS 2005

Aug 6, 2007

Hi,


I want to use two databases for my reporting services 2005. I want to connect to one database and check whether the logged in user is a portal admin using portalid and userid.If yes, then I will allow the user to user use all the stores. Stores are displayed in the drop down list as the multiselect parameter. If no, then I will connect to another database and check the user rights. Based on the user rights I will select only the stores that are applicable the user. i don't know how to use two databases in the reporting services. Please give me an idea to do this.

Taking Data From A Different Databases/Data Warehouses Using A Sequel Server 2005 Based Database.

Apr 1, 2008



I'm in the middle of developing a Database for a hospital that measures its audits, inhouse operations, and finance. What we currently have and do everyday is collect data from a large database that is real time with patient data, progess, infomation, etc and dump it into a data warehouse that runs on TSI/Eclipsys. We run reports using a number of programs and dump it into Excel sheets that have charts, reports, etc. This Database for which I'm developing won't come soley from the TSI/Eclypsys source, but this is the only source thats updated regularly. I don't want to have in sync with TSI/Eclipysys in fear that every day when it updates data may be lost, not read, or worse won't be up date if there is a problem. My question is is it possible to run a query from Sequel Server 2005 that will take that data upon request using the reporing features on Sequel Server 2005. i.e. What if I need to run a report on measure B in department 12 from Jan 1-Feb 1, instead of being in sync, can I just write queries to take that information rather than double the data and take up twice the space and trouble. FYI, these datatypes rarely change in the TSI/Eclipsys data warehouse. This sure was long question and didn't intended it to be . Thanks for listening and hope to hear back.

SQL 2012 :: SSRS Data Shared Data Source Connection Login

Jan 12, 2015

Was wondering if there was a best practice minimum permissions for creating a SQL login to use when setting up a new shared Data source for SSRS report manager?

Something along the lines of them being a data read for the DB and permissions to update tempdb?

Would have thought it not advisable to have the login be able to update the main db...

Update Data Among Databases

Mar 22, 2004

Hi,

I develop ASP.NET applications and use MS SQL 2000 Enterprise.

Each customer has one database and one custom design application. And, there is a gateway and a central database to get data from all databases.

Supposed there are 10 DBs. I want the data in those 10 databases updating to the central database directly.
So, the gateway can gather all data of 10 DBs from a central DB.

Now, my question is how should I do it in MS SQL 2000? Can I do it with a stored procedure (SP)? If so, how does the SP like?

Or, SP can only perform on it's own DB, but not execute across DBs? If so, how can I do that?

Thanks for advice

Moving Data Between Databases

Jan 5, 2006

I have a web app that has been regulated to a disconnected PC. It's runing IIS and 2.0 with sql server express, but no connectivity. I have changes that are made to some of the data in the db (data, bot schema). There is one particular table that I cannot overwrite, and must extract the data.
What methods are available to do this swap of data between databases? I was thinking of doing something like this:
Track last date that remote db was updated. Upload updated database into data directory, loop through records for all affected tables, any date that was past logged date then update the record if it exists or insert new record, and then loop through the remote db and delete this records that dont exist in the updated db.
This seems intensive and slow - especially as the tables get bigger but I can't think of another solution that can be done by a user using sometime of web interface.

Hi
Is there a way of comparing the data contained in two separate databases (on the same server)?

I have two databases: DevDB and DB and all I want to verify is that the data in both are *exactly* the same.

Is there a nifty function to do this in SQL Server?

Copying Data Between Databases...

Sep 2, 2002

If I have to copy data from one database to a temporary database on the same server, which transaction log will be written to as a result? Will it be the DB that the command is run from, the source DB, or possibly tempdb's log?

Exchange Data Between Databases On Two Servers??

May 29, 2007

Dear all
 
I have tow server on the same intranet. One server has a sql server 2000 database and the other one has SQL server 2005 databse.
 The sql 2000 database has a table called employee. When ever a new employee is inserted in the database i would like the same values to be sent to the sql 2005 database. But this cant be done on the application level. It has to be done in the database. The application level can not be changed.
I was thinking a trigger but how to achieve the writing from one database to another. If they were on the same server then it would be easier but because they are on different servers i dont know how to do it.
 Has anyone had similar issue before?
Any help is apreciated.
 
Sincerely
Dan

Importing Data Duplicate Databases

Jun 11, 2007

I want to import data from a live site database into a development database (SQL Server 2005 Express) using the DTSWizard. Once I copy/paste the live database to my dev machine, I cant attach the live site database because it has the same name as the database on the dev site.A simple solution I would assume is to change one of the names.  But I can't seem to change the "orignal file name".  A backup/restore won't work for me because I made table/field changes to the dev database.

Synchronising Data Between 2 SQL Server 7 Databases - Help ;o)

Oct 4, 2001

Hi, can anyone point me in the right direction of how to sync an in-house SQL Server 7 with a remote SQL server 7.

We are a development house. We build website using SQL server 7 databases then move them up to an entirely different SQL server 7 database in a remote location.

Now, please don't laugh, currently we export all the data from the development server into a csv and import it back into the live server. As you can imagine, it's clunky, time consuming and unreliable.

Is there a way to automatically sync the two? I tried desperately to find any information but even the MicroSoft MCSE training manual on SQL doesn't say how to do this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Data Transfer Between Databases Different Structur

Sep 18, 2006

Ok say we've got two databases with two tables and we need to
transfer data from one to another. However, the data structure in
sourceDB is different to targetDB. Better to illustrate:
sourceDB
tablesource
PIN SYSTEM HEADER PROPERTY VALUE STATUS
1000 AF ADDRESS DETAILS LINE 1 The Grange Active
1000 AF ADDRESS DETAILS LINE 2 69 Tintagel Way
1000 AF ADDRESS DETAILS LINE 3 Woking
1001 AF ADDRESS DETAILS LINE 1 50 Active
8888 AF ADDRESS DETAILS LINE 2 Evans Way
8888 AF ADDRESS DETAILS LINE 3 Islington
8888 AF ADDRESS DETAILS
8888 AF ADDRESS DETAILS
8888 AF ADDRESS DETAILS

Now each matching PIN on the multiple rows in sourceDB above relates to
one customer. In order to extract the relevant info for an address for
instance for each customer, we need to know the unique PIN, header,
property and value fields.

So I created this piece of SQL which gives me the result in targetDB:

INSERT into targetDB.dbo.tabletarget (address1)
SELECT
value
FROM sourceDB.dbo.tablesource
WHERE pin = 1000
AND header ='address details'
AND property = 'line 1'

targetDB
tabletarget
PIN ADDRESS1 ADDRESS2 ADDRESS3 SOURCE
The Grange

Fine, I've proved I can extract a specific field, but I need to do
this for all fields and all customers.

Any ideas?

How I Rescue Data From Corrupted Databases

Mar 7, 2007

Edit: Some changes added

This is my procedure for "rescuing" data from a corrupted database. Obviously restoring from backup is a lot easier!

0) Set the damaged database to Read-Only. if you don't have a backup make one now.

1) Script the database

2a) Create a new, TEMP database - preferably on a different machine in case of hardware problems on the original machine

2b) Size the Data for the TEMP database same size as the original (to avoid dynamic extensions). Size the Log something large-ish!

3) Run the Script on the TEMP database. Do NOT create any FK etc. yet

4a) Attempt to transfer all tables:

-- Prepare script of: INSERT INTO ... SELECT * FROM ...
SET NOCOUNT ON
SELECT 'PRINT ''' + name + '''' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + 'GO' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)
+ CASE WHEN C.id IS NULL
THEN ''
ELSE 'SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.[' + name + '] ON' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)
END
+ 'INSERT INTO MyTempDatabase.dbo.[' + name + ']' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)
+ 'SELECT * FROM dbo.[' + name + ']' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)
+ CASE WHEN C.id IS NULL
THEN ''
ELSE 'SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.[' + name + '] OFF' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)
END
+ 'GO'
FROMdbo.sysobjects AS O
LEFT OUTER JOIN
(
SELECT DISTINCT C.id
FROMdbo.syscolumns AS C
WHEREC.colstat = 1-- Identity column
) AS C
ON C.id = O.id
WHERE type = 'U'
AND name NOT IN ('dtproperties')
ORDER BY name
SET NOCOUNT OFF

this generates statements like this:

PRINT 'MyTable'
GO
SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.[MyTable] ON
INSERT INTO RESTORE_XFER_TEMP.dbo.[MyTable]
SELECT * FROM dbo.[MyTable]
SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.[MyTable] OFF
GO

4b) This will give some sort of error on the tables which cannot be copied, and they will need to be rescued by some other means.

5a) Each "broken" table needs to be rescued using an index. Ideally you will have a clustered index on the PK and that will be undamaged, so you can "rescue" all the PKs into a temp table:

-- Copy PK fields to a temporary table
-- DROP TABLE MyRestoreDatabase.dbo.TEMP_RESCUE_PK
-- TRUNCATE TABLE MyRestoreDatabase.dbo.MyBrokenTable
SELECT[ID]=IDENTITY(int, 1, 1),
[IsCopied]=CONVERT(tinyint, 0),
MyPK
INTOMyRestoreDatabase.dbo.TEMP_RESCUE_PK
FROMMyBrokenDatabase.dbo.MyBrokenTable
ORDER BY MyPK

5b) If that is successful you have a list of all the PKs, so can can try to copy data matching those PKs, in batches:

-- If OK then selectively copy data across
-- First Prep. a temp Batch table
-- DROP TABLE MyRestoreDatabase.dbo.TEMP_RESCUE_BATCH
SELECT TOP 1 [ID]=CONVERT(int, NULL), [IsCopied]=CONVERT(bit, 0), MyPK
INTOMyRestoreDatabase.dbo.TEMP_RESCUE_BATCH
FROMMyRestoreDatabase.dbo.TEMP_RESCUE_PK
GO
--
DECLARE@intStartint,
@intStopint,
@intBatchSizeint

-- NOTE: After the first run set these to any "gaps" in the table that you want to fill
SELECT
@intStart = 1,
@intBatchSize = 10000,
@intStop = (SELECT MAX([ID]) FROM MyRestoreDatabase.dbo.TEMP_RESCUE_PK)

SELECT@intStart = MIN([ID])
FROMMyRestoreDatabase.dbo.TEMP_RESCUE_PK
WHERE IsCopied = 0
AND [ID] >= @intStart

WHILE@intStart < @intStop
BEGIN
SET ROWCOUNT @intBatchSize

-- Isolate batch of Keys into separate table
TRUNCATE TABLE MyRestoreDatabase.dbo.TEMP_RESCUE_BATCH
INSERT INTO MyRestoreDatabase.dbo.TEMP_RESCUE_BATCH
SELECTT.*
FROMMyRestoreDatabase.dbo.TEMP_RESCUE_PK AS T
WHERE IsCopied = 0
AND [ID] >= @intStart
AND [ID] < @intStart + @intBatchSize

-- Attempt to copy matching records, for this batch
PRINT CONVERT(varchar(20), @intStart)
INSERT INTO MyRestoreDatabase.dbo.MyBrokenTable
SELECTS.*
FROMMyRestoreDatabase.dbo.TEMP_RESCUE_BATCH AS T
LEFT OUTER JOIN MyRestoreDatabase.dbo.MyBrokenTable AS D
ON D.MyPK = T.MyPK
-- This will try to get the data from the broken table, it may fail!
JOIN MyBrokenDatabase.dbo.MyBrokenTable AS S
ON S.MyPK = T.MyPK
WHERED.MyPK IS NULL-- Belt and braces so as not to copy existing rows

-- Flag the rows just "Copied"
UPDATEU
SETIsCopied = 1
FROMMyRestoreDatabase.dbo.TEMP_RESCUE_PK AS U
WHEREIsCopied = 0
AND [ID] >= @intStart
AND [ID] < @intStart + @intBatchSize

-- Loop round, until done
SELECT@intStart = @intStart + @intBatchSize
END
GO
SET ROWCOUNT 0-- Turn OFF!!
GO

5c) This will copy in batches of 10,000 [you can adjust @intbatchSize depending on table size] until it gets to a damaged part of the table, then it will abort.

Change the @intStart to the last ID number displayed, and reduce @intBatchSize (by an order of magnitude each time) until you have rescued as many records as possible in the first "part" of the table.

5d) Reset the batch size @intBatchSize to 10,000 [or whatever size is appropriate], and increase the @intStart repeatedly until you are past the damaged section - copying will start again, and will abort if there are further damaged sections

5e) Repeat that process until you have rescued as much of the data as is possible

6) Check what is left to be rescued

-- Check amount NOT done:
SELECTCOUNT(*), MIN([ID]), MAX([ID])
FROMMyRestoreDatabase.dbo.TEMP_RESCUE_PK
WHERE IsCopied = 0
--AND [ID] > 123456-- Optionally count items after a "gap"
--
-- Double check that IsCopied set correctly, and the number of records "lost"
SELECTCOUNT(*),
[IsCopied] = SUM(CONVERT(int, IsCopied)),
[IsCopied+Record] = SUM(CASE WHEN IsCopied = 1 AND C.MyPK IS NOT NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END),
[IsCopiedNoRecord] = SUM(CASE WHEN IsCopied = 1 AND C.MyPK IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END),
[IsNOTCopied] = SUM(CASE WHEN IsCopied = 0THEN 1 ELSE 0 END),
[IsNOTCopied+Record] = SUM(CASE WHEN IsCopied = 0 AND C.MyPK IS NOT NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END),
[IsNOTCopiedNoRecord] = SUM(CASE WHEN IsCopied = 0 AND C.MyPK IS NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
FROMMyRestoreDatabase.dbo.TEMP_RESCUE_PK AS T
LEFT OUTER JOIN MyRestoreDatabase.dbo.MyBrokenTable AS C
ON C.MyPK = T.MyPK
--
-- List of "Lost" records
SELECTMyPK
FROMMyRestoreDatabase.dbo.TEMP_RESCUE_PK
WHERE IsCopied = 0
ORDER BY [ID]

You will then have to "find" and rescue the lost records somewhere.

I have a further process using OPENQUERY() to rescue records to fill the gaps in the event that they are available on a remote system - a straight JOIN to get them is going to be far to slow on anything other than tiny tables!

7a) Create the FKs etc. Update the statistics, rebuild indexes, and possibly shrink the Log if it is unrealistically big
7b) Backup and Restore over the original database
7c) DBCC CHECKDB ('MyDatabaseName') WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS, NO_INFOMSGS

Good luck!

Kristen

Anyone Use 2 Databases To Seperate Sensitive Data?

Nov 28, 2007

I've got a customer who thinks their data should be sepeated and reside on two seperate databases in case one is compromised. Now I've never heard of anyone doing this and would like comments from the users here as to why this should/(shoult not) be done.

I'm assuming that they want to keep their general info e.g. name and address on one database and keep other (medical info) on the other db.

None of our db's are outside of the firewalls so to me this makes no sense but I would like feedback.

thanks.
