I want to export data in a table from one database to another database. And I would like it bo be clone of the source table, if it's possible. Is there any tools out there that can help me with this or do I have to write my own code?Is it possible to query the database to get all columns and datatypes for å requested table? If possible, can you give me an example?If I have to write a tool myself I guess I would do something like this: Export - Query the database for columns and datatype for the requested table. Dynamically generate a query to retrieve all rows from the table and save it to an xml file. Import - Turn off the Identity Increment, loop through the xml file and generate insert queries to insert a clone of each row, turn off the Identity Increment. Viola! If programming only could be that simple :-) Regards, Sigurd
The problem is, I have a table with one column of varchar(8000) datatype. It has got 1000's of records. Through Query Analyzer, I am not able to view my records after 257 columns in my table, even I increased my textsize by using 'set textsize' command.
Any other setting is available to correct this. Any help is appreciated.
I have a particular production database that on a few recent occasions has suddenly had one of it's tables empty of content. Now there are no jobs or triggers in place neither is any stored procedures that could perform a delete or alter table operation in place. The permissions have been set not to allow this either. The datatype is text only. What is intriguing is the QA server has an exact mirror and this dosen't happen. Has anyone come across this sort of phenomenon?
I have a table having XML column. I want to read a XML document and insert content of the XML file into this xml column. CREATE TABLE [XMLTest]( [DataAsXML] [xml] NULL,
[CreatedDate] [datetime] NULL )
I have tried the following query declare @filepath varchar(100)
declare @filename varchar(100)
set @filename = 'Referred'
set @filepath = 'D:ReportOutput'+ @FileName +'.xml'
print @filepath
insert into XMLTest
SELECT xCol,getdate()
FROM (SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET
(BULK @filepath,SINGLE_BLOB) AS xCol) AS R(xCol)
Problem is that When I give complete file path for BULK instead of variable name i.e. BULK 'C:Test.xml', query runs fine. But when I try to use @filepath, I get error "Incorrect syntax near '@filepath'." What am I doing incorrect? Also,If some one can suggest a better approach to load content of XML document to table?
Hi all,need advice on the following task:copy the content of a big table from DB_A to DB_B in the same serverthe size of table:~ 7 million rows, ~ 9G in size, 1 clustered pk index, 13 nonclusteredindexcurrent practice:use DTS to copy the data, takes over 20 hours as-- first had to delete existing data of the table in DB_B-- then copy-- all these happen while all indexes are in place.I am trying to check what is the best or most efficient way to copythis kind of data and what wouldbe the expected time for such load.my machine: SQL 2000 Enterprise, 8-way P4, 12G RAM on a EMC Clarrion600 SAN.
In a project with SQL Servcer 2005 the customer is interested to save (archive) content of a table frequently. They want to have possibility to restore the table content as before. I have suggested to export the table every day to a text file and save the file in Visual source safe. If they need there will be possibility to import the text file later. Now I wonder, is there any other way to do archiving of the table content in SQL Server 2005?
I keep product name, id in Table1. I keep Category name, id in Table2. I keep relation between product and category (product_id, category_id) in Table3. I have added some products to the table with proper category. Work fine But for some products I did not specified any category (ie their id is not present in Table3) But now I want all such products (ie all products whose category is nothing) To be associated with category_id 10
I was able to view table content easily before, but after Ireinstalled everything, I cannot find the option to view table contentin MS SQL Server Express. I can define table with no problem. Checkout the screen snapshot below, from which you'll see that the popupmenu frrom right-clicking on the table name does not have the "Opentable" option. What is going on?http://farm1.static.flickr.com/167/...839620d0b_o.png

Hi,I use view to join difference table together for some function. However,when the "real" table fields changed (e.g. add/delete/change field). Theview table still use the "old fields".Therefore everytimes when I change the real table, I also needed open theview table and save it by SQL enterprise manager manually for update theview table field.Can we use a SQL command or other method to update it directly?Regards,Silas

I have two databases, MS Access and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
Using a procedure in Visual Studio i would like to copy all the records from one table in MS Access into an existing table in SQL Server (the tables have the same name and the same layout)
I tried to prepare one Dataset to copy from Access into SQL Server but when i run the command 'DaSQL.Update(DsSQL, "Tabella") nothing happens (not even an exeption has been raised), looking during debug, the DataSet seems filled though...
Please could anyone explain what's wrong and / or is there a more quicker way to copy data from a table to another?
Note i woul have as a final goal to get data from an AS400 database by ODBC, manage it, and put it on SQL Server for a 'data mining' scope (eliminating the use of MS Access, not suited for FE-BE).
the procedure goes like this;
' Create a connection to the MS Access Database Dim connectionToAccess As New OleDbConnection(DBConnectionAccString) strsql = "SELECT * FROM [TABELLA]" connectionToAccess.Open() Dim DaAccess As New OleDbDataAdapter(strsql, connectionToAccess)
Dim DsAccess As New DataSet("ACCESS") DaAccess.FillSchema(DsAccess, SchemaType.Source, "Tabella") DaAccess.Fill(DsAccess, "Tabella")
' Create a connection to the SQL Database Dim connectionToSQL As New SqlConnection(DBConnectionSQLString) connectionToSQL.Open() Dim DaSQL As New SqlDataAdapter(strsql, connectionToSQL)
Dim DsSQL As New DataSet("SQL") DaSQL.FillSchema(DsSQL, SchemaType.Source, "Tabella") DaSQL.Fill(DsAccess, "Tabella")

Hoe can i correct some data in a table? We have imported data from a number of hospitals (hospital ID, room number, bed) Something went wrong during the import and wrong data are imported, so we see the room and bed numbers of location 195 as being room and bed nummers of 190. I have tried to import the correct data using the wizard but i get an extra table instead of correcting the table with the wrong data. It has to be an easy way to do this? I have tried to export them in Excel, i have corrected the data and then i imported the data again. Could anyone please help me? Thanks
Does anyone know how I can, using SQL and/or T-SQL syntax (although I could do a CLR in C# too..), export a SQL table from SQL Server 2005 to a new Visual FoxPro 9 DBF (table)? The DBF would need to be created on the fly too because this will have to basically be able to export any SQL table...
Thanks ahead of time for any and all assistance...
how should I go about exporting a couple of columns of data from a specific database table to an excel spreadsheet stored locally on a client machine (the one the script is being executed from). I am using SQL server 2000 SP3.
I'm fairly new to using SQL server, and not experienced at all with Transact-SQL.
Rookie qustion here quys, Using SQL Sever 2005 Express and Visual Web Devoloper Express. I'm trying to get data from my local SQL sever database to my shared hosting database. SImple enough but... 1.) GoDaddy does not allow remote connections to the DB server 2.) With GoDaddy you can't just upload an .MDF file to your remote directory and script a connection string. You have to reference the DB server. Can't upload DB file to DB server. As a work around, I've seen several .sql files that have all the T-SQL that will create a database and tables then insert the data. I've google'd extensively and searched several forums with no luck as to how to export my local data to file. I could then copy and paste into an online utility GoDaddys has to insert the data. Is there a relatively easy way to export table data to a .sql file??? When I try using SQL Server Management Studio Express and "Scipt Table As> Insert To> File", It just gives me something like the following... INSERT INTO [pubs].[dbo].[authors] ([au_id] ,[au_lname] ,[au_fname] ,[phone] ,[address] ,[city] ,[state] ,[zip] ,[contract]) VALUES (<au_id, id,> ,<au_lname, varchar(40),> ,<au_fname, varchar(20),> ,<phone, char(12),> ,<address, varchar(40),> ,<city, varchar(20),> ,<state, char(2),> ,<zip, char(5),> ,<contract, bit,>) Plenty of data in this table, no data in script ??? Can SQL Server Management Studio Express do what I wanting to do? If not, any suggestions? Know of a better hosing company?

How do I export an sql table from a server db using SQL Enterprise Manager? I have tried using Microsoft Web Data Administrator but it can't connect to the db. The db that is live has all the data, but I don't have a copy locally (I accidently deleted it)...which is why i need to export it to an sql file. Can someone please help me as I have exhausted my own knowledge. Cheers
I have data in an old database I would like to capture for my new system but I dont have the original insert scripts. Is there a tool (in SQL Server 2000 or thirdparty) that will help me export the data as SQL inserts?
Anbody please help I am trying to export a text file to a table using enterprise manager and all tasks But the process keeps adding strange charater like squares at the end of each line and also replaces each empty line in the text file with a record in the table with that square type character. I used the following code to delete all rows with that character (as a work around) but no joy. I am losing hope.
