How does one generate Transact-SQL for table structure in SQL server express 2005?
I have very limited access to an SQL server database (using rudimentary web based interface) for my hosted website. I am ready to deploy an application that was developed with Visual Studio 2005 using SQL server express as the database. I have four tables that I want to copy (structure only) from "express" to the hosted SQL server. I think I need to generate Transact-SQL statements to "create" the table structure, then run these statements as a stored procedure on the web based SQL server. I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to generate the code from SQL express 2005. Anyone had any experience with this?
We have SQL Enterprise Manager (8.0). Is there any way to Copy a Table from one database to another with only the Structure (design) - not all the Data? I can't find any option in the Import Data Wizard that only copies the Table structure. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Hello Room, M stuck with an issue with SQL Query. My requirement is to create a temporary table with the out put of "SELECT" Clause..........
Like....... SELECT NC_ID, AUD_PLAN_ID, AUD_CLAUSE_ID FROM AUD_NC
This is my "Select" Query and all I want is to store the out put in a #table. Now one way is to craete #tmp_table with the fields same as the out put column of the "SELECT" Clause......... But I want it in direct fashion.... dat means without Creating the #tmp_table directly...........
I tried with "CREATE TBALE #tmp_table AS SELECT NC_ID, AUD_PLAN_ID, AUD_CLAUSE_ID FROM AUD_NC".......... But it dini work

Hello everyone, I have a local MSSQL server (I guess it's called MSDE), with some tables that I would like to use as a template for a set of new tables. I would simply like a Stored Procedure that takes these 3 tables, makes a copy of their structure (not data, since they will be empty), and name them by using a parameter given to the SP. I have made something that I thought would work, but after testing it a bit more, it seems to forget default values for the fields, which is of course not good enough :). I hope that someone can tell me how to duplicate these 3 tables, including every detail for the fields!
How can I copy a table from my sql server 2000 db to my sql server 2005 express edition? I have a project in VS.NET 2005 and I have a db in App_Data folder. However, when I look into that folder, there is nothing visible. I now need to copy a table from my existing sql server 2000 to my db located in my project's App_Data folder. Any help would be appreciated..
I just installed SQLEXPRESS on XP Prof. It is working fine. I want to know if there is a way to copy a table structure so I could create clones. I need about 300 tables with identical structure but different name for each one.
Also I am wondering if there is a way to ADD a table to SQL database. It is kind of a long shot but I will try to explain. I have about 200 tables in old Visual dBase format (v7.1). I would like to convert them to SQL Server tables. I found a company that offers an app that converts them to MySQL. I tried and it kind of works. I could open the output file in SQL Server but it is not a table but a kind of csv file with INSERT commands. I had to run it. So far it did not compile but in the future if those bugs (in their app) could be corrected I may end up with a single table which I may want to include in one of my databases. Is it possible?
I want to copy a production database schema to an archiving database, only the structure : tables, views, defaults, rules,UDTs. For achieving that I am trying to use SQL/DMO functions, "CopyAllTables" for example. My script works with no error but unfortunately the destination database contains no objects. Why, have I missed something ? Does anyone know how to do that?
I have been working on my windows app, using SQL Server 2005 (& C#) but I now have loads of junk data, so I want to copy the structure without any data to a new set of files that can become the production version.
I assume I can use backup and restore in future when I want a copy of my production data to use for future testing.
How would I take just one table from my test database and add it to my production database without retyping the design?
Apart from the size limitation is there any advantage in buying a version of SQL Server over using the Express edition?
I'm looking to create a new version of a database but with completely reloaded data - so I want to retain the database structure but none of the data.
Is there an easy way (read: without a DBA on staff) to copy an existing database structure - preferably with views and stored procedures - and not take the data along for the ride?
Hi all, I have read/studied (i) Working with Databases in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express in http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/data/vwd.aspx, (ii) Xcopy Deployment (SQL Server Express) in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165716.aspx, (iii) User Instances for Non-Administrators in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143684.aspx, and (iv) Embedding SQL Server Server Express in Applications in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165660.aspx. I do not understand the concepts and procedures to do Xcopy and User Instances for non-administrators completely-I do not know how to connect to databases and create database diagrams or schemas using the Database Explorer. I have a stand-alone Windows XP Pro PC. I have created a ChemDatabase with 3 dbo tables in the SQL Server Management Studio of my SQL Server Express and a website of my VWD Express application with an App_Data folder. I am not able to proceed to use Xcopy and user instance to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase to my App_Data folder. Please help and give me some detailed procedures/instructions to bring the 3 dbo tables of ChemDatabase (or ChemDatabase itself) from the SQL Server Management Studio Express to the App_Data folder of the website of my VWD Express project? Thanks in advance, Scott Chang
Is there a way to copy the structure from one database to anotherwithout affecting the actual data?For example, I added new fields and stored procedures to a db in mydevelopment environment. There are a lot of them.I now want to make the same changes to my production environment db butdon't want to affect the data. Only the fields, stored procs &constraints and stuff pertaining to the structure of the db should bechanged.Does anyone know of a program that can do this or can this be done inMS SQL Enterprise Manager.Any help would be appreciated.7078895

I created a web application (ASP.Net with a SQL DB backend) using Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition and the bundled SQL Server Express.Everything works perfectly on my local machine.Now I need to upload the application and DB to my hosting provider. My hosting provider suggested I backup the db, upload it with FTP, and they would restore it for me on the production server.However, I can find no option to "Backup" a DB in SQL Server Express or in Visual Studio. Am I missing something?Using Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition and SQL Server Express, how does Microsoft envision us copying our DB's into production?Thanks a lot,Chris
