Hi,I want to clear all data from 200 tables in a database from a sql query. Some of the tables have got relationship as well. I want to clear data from there as well.What could be the best approach? Does anyone have an idea or script from where I could do the needful?Do let me know.Thanks
Everytime I run the load packages that I have built into the MDS staging the tables, in MDS_Staging, get cleared down and then repopulated. When the MDS database gets new data it appends it and does not clear down the data that is already in the database and is there fore hold duplicate rows.
Is there a way of truncating the tables in the MDS database before populating again with the new data from the MDS_Staging database so as to not hold duplicate rows?
Having issues with a table clearing out properly which is causing problems in the program.
By design there should only be one row in this table which updates with the most current record. However on this one system the table does not clear/update like it is supposed to, and instead starts adding multiple rows.
I have tried truncating the table but the problem does not resolve itself. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be happening?
I am just learning about temp temps using Iteration, how do I clear the contents of the #temp table because when I re-run the query I get the following error:
Msg 2714, Level 16, State 6, Line 6
There is already an object named '#mytemp2' in the database.
I'd like to ask you what means the term "database clearing", if such a concept exists in the Database Theory. Maybe this is not directly related to SQL Server but any help would be very appreciated. So please anybody who have an idea of what this could mean is welcome to reply here
Thank you very much in advance. With best regards, Sorin
I have two Databases with the same name that reside in different servers. The two servers are linked servers. Each database consists of 5 Tables. The tables have identical names in each database.
The database in ServerA has 5 tables with data, the database in ServerB also has 5 tables with the same schema as ServerA, however the 5 identical tables in ServerB contain no data.
I need to populate the 5 tables in ServerB with the Data from the 5 tables in ServerA.
What SQL code or script can i use to populate the 5 tables in ServerB
Hi I've been doing a website with ajax controls and I have tables that has foreign key relationships and hence the main page requires the data from the tables from the foreign keys stored in a separate table. Can anyone help me out with the proper way of querying the tables. Am not able to work out the way with the joins that SQL express provides. Thanks

How do i make a new database file and then copy all the tables and data out of an old SQL file into it? I just want to see if rebuilding the file helps with a corruption issue i have been having with the log file.
Hi. I need to move data from one database table to another across database instances. A simple example of the typical move would be:
[CODE]
INSERT into destination_db.dbo.table1
SELECT column1, column2, column3, column4 from source_db.dbo.table2
[/CODE]
My options are:
1. Create an SSIS package to perform the move.
2. Create sprocs and schedule the data move as jobs.
3. Write .NET code using sprocs to perform the move.
I'll have to move hundreds of thousands of records, so I want the option that provides the best performance. I'm guessing that option 3 will be the slowest.
I have a database available and it is in live production.

Dear list,I am trying to get the names of the tables and the column names from thecode below for a database but it is not working. When I run the querybelow the column titles are delivered but there is no data. I think thismight be a premissions issue. Has anyone run into this before?Thanks in advance.Use Test_db/* Provides Table Name, Column Name, Extened Description */Select a.name as tbl_name, b.name as column_name, d.name as data_type,d.length as length, d.xprec as prec, d.scale as scale, b.usertype,b.scale, c.valuefrom sysobjects as a inner join syscolumns as b on a.id=b.id inner joinsysproperties as c on b.colid=c.smallid and a.id=c.idinner join systypes as d on b.xtype=d.xtype

I need to copy data from warehouse tables to master tables of different SQL instances. Refresh need to done once in an hour. What is the best way to do this? SQL agent jobs or SSIS packages?
I found it pretty interesting. I checked the size of a database, before implementing database compression across all the user tables in a database. And Post implementation of compression too I checked the size of the database.
I did not find any difference. But if I expand the table and check propetires->storage and I can see that PAGE compression is implemented across all the tables, but no compaction in the size of the db. It still remains the same.
Client is running X- version of application and corresponding database size is huge. Now client's vendor is releasing Y-version of same application with many database schema changes (like new tables added, new columns added, renamed existing columns and etc) To upgrade to the Y-version, vendor is suggesting to my client that down the system and do the upgrade for application/database to Y-version. We are sure that this process will take days together to upgrade to the Y-version. My client is not ready to down the system for that long. So we are trying to find the solution with minimal down time.The approach we are thinking is,
1) Create the replicated database to another server (server2) from production server(server1) using golden gate with X-version
2) Create new tables/schema updated tables from Y-version database on same server1. Here for Updated schema tables we are planning to use the name <table_name_Y_version> as the same table name exists in X-version.
3)With above 2 steps, golden gate replicate the changes from production to server1 and server1 will have the new Y-version table schema (with different concatenate name ' _Y_version'). BTW , there is no affect for the production
4) At this stage we are planning to find best approach, to fill the '<table_name>_Y_version' from X-version tables. two challenges here a) all data needs to be moved to Y-version tables b) they have to sync data in real time.
we thought of going to
a) ssis package to pump the data to Y-version tables, but real time data will not sync.
b) trigger based technique, previous experience said, lot of load
I am trying to load the data from one data base to another using the Task->Generate Script->tables (data only). So I saved the script of the data and when tried to run the script to the destination DB, getting the below error when ran the script.
Error: Visual Studio has encountered an exception. This may be caused by an extension.You can get more information by running the application together with the /log parameter on the command line, and then examining the file'C:UsersKK67AppDataRoamingMicrosoftAppEnv10.0ActivityLog.xm'. When tried opening the folder using the above path... don't see anything for AppData folder from that path.
We have a production sql server V6.5 sp5a (running on NT 4.0 sp3) that has a tempdb that is fulling up about every two weeks. (The log to tempdb is okay, it is not filling up). Tempdb is defined as 400 MB. I have been reading about "The two most common db errors"; 1) The db log ran out of space and 2) The db ran out of space. We are receiving "The db ran out of space." Once tempdb gets near full is there anyway to clear tempdb without rebooting the nt server? Is there a stored procedure that can be scheduled to free up tempdb?
My books tell me the tempdb is used for creating temporary tables or storing temporary information. For example, a temporary table in a stored procedure or sql may create a temporary work table as a result of a query with a 'group by' or 'order by' clause. If these tables are temporary why don't sql release them or free up the space used by tempdb?
We have a SQL Server 6.5 with SP5a installed and are having problems with the Transaction log not clearing every night when a scheduled backup takes place. Is there anyway to debug this?
The Scheduled task that is run is "DUMP DATABASE DBSALES TO DBSALESBK with INIT DUMP TRANSACTION DBSALES WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY DUMP DATABASE DISTRIBUTION TO DSBK WITH INIT DUMP TRANSACTION DISTRIBUTION WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY"
I have also run on it DBCC Checktable(Syslogs) but it all seems fine. Any help would be appreciated.
I have entered some temporary values in a table located in an SQL database, to test a project to see if it was working. Now I want to remove the values so that later, the program I have created will be capable of using the table for it's true purpose. However, when I try to delete the values located there, I receive an error message. How can I clear the table?
In SQL SERVER 2000, there is a command DBCC OutputBuffer which returns the current output buffer in hexadecimal and ASCII format for the specified system process ID.
Is it so that everytime we execute a stored procedure the contents of the outputbuffer are automatically cleared so that the new contents are inserted into the outputbuffer ?
If it is not cleared then how can we clear this outputbuffer.
1. Is there a way to clear all records in a table from within a store procedure? (Instead of having to go into the table and manually selecting all rows and deleting them that way.)
2. I want to sort a list of records so that the only one left are the ones with just single words in. So I have used
WHERE SearchText LIKE '% %'
to remove the cells with spaces in, but I need to be able to remove the ones with punctuation too. Is there an easy way to do this?
We have been testing a new vendor_purchased application and are now running some month-end processes/jobs now. One of the processes that we kicked off stopped when a 2gb tempdb filled up with only 5mb or so remaini g. In reviewing what happened, I noticed that tempdb is in the process of clearing itself out slowly when we restarted the process. The database has 80% of its disk space remaining and the transaction log has also 75% remaining.
My questions are:
1) Although I don't think so, is there nay way of speeding up the process of tempdb clearing out the data in it?
2) We will need to examine what sql code the vendor has used that caused this to happen. Aside from group by and order by, if there are a lot of 'select into' code, what alternatives do we have?
Any information that can be provided will be fine. THanks in advance.
Hi everyone, I have a question that I believe should be simple to answer yet I cannot find the answer anywhere. I am trying to make it possible for my report to clear the input box whenever the report is run or when anything in a dropdown list is selected. The reason why I want this is because my report has a dropdown list that inputs date ranges for "quick" report info. The other option is to manually type in the begin and end date. If anyone could help me out with this I would be very grateful.
