Hello,
I need to copy a table from an 8i oracle database to a sqlserver 2000 database.
Is it possible to use the command "COPY FROM ... TO ..." ?
So, what is the correct syntax ?
Thanks for your help
Cyril
I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Thanks!!
Hi,
I have a complicated sql server mobile database (.sdf) and need to create a SQL SERVER database with the same tables. How can I do it without scripting the whole thing? I thought of using the views.information_schema databases, but it is still a lot of coding.
thanks
Hi;I thought I would rephrase a question I asked in another post to morequickly get to the heart of the matter. My apologies for anyone whois offended by what appears to be a repetition.My company has two identical web sites. One copy is for our customer,and one copy is for us to test our code changes on.We developed a hard to isolate bug in the copy of the web stie for ourcustomers.We believe the bug might be data related.We would like to replace our test database with our productiondatabase to try to reproduce the problem without interrupting ourservice to our customers.The test database and production database have all the same tables andstructures,but the names of the databases are slightly different.We have tried dropping tables from our test database and importingtables from our customer database in Management Studio. We got thedata but the identity fields were turned off as identities. We canmanually turn them back on in Management Studio, but we have severalhundred tables.In the end we just want to the data from our customer db to be in ourtest db with the test db name being the same, and have our identityfields preserved.What is the easiest way to do this?Thanks in advance for anyinformationSteve

How can I copy a database table with all its data, indexes and constraints to a new table in the same database in sql server 2005
I have to copy a large (3000) amount of different tables from a Oracle machine into an
SQLServer machine.
I am able to do this using a (VB) script.
I use now several methods:
1) INSERT INTO TABLE1 SELECT * FROM SID1..DB.TABLE1 (SID1 is a linked server)
2) INSERT INTO TABLE1 SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(SID1,'SELECT * FROM DB.TABLE1')
3) Also used OPENROWSET method (similar to 2)
For small tables this is fine, however for BIG tables (15M Rows/150Cols) the methods above are too slow.
If I compare the same copy action with a simple DTS, the DTS is 3 times faster.
Also, the DTS seems to bulk copy the data directly into the desired database while the
mentioned methods first fill the tempdb, then the transaction log of the desired database and
then finally the desired table (need very much extra space on your filesystem).
The total size of data is about 300GB.
Can anyone supply me with a simple example how to copy data from an Oracle table into a
SQLServer table in script (or SQL) that is as fast as the DTS and not filling my logfiles??
I read the bcp (which I use for import/export files) and bulk insert commands, but
I do not understand how to use them in this question.

Is there a way to have a read only table from another database that is put into your database that will always be insinc with the original copy to use as a read only copy, that as the original table is updated, it will proprogate to your copied table?
Is there a way to transfer data from a SqlServer db to a SqlServer Express db. I tried to use the backup file of SqlServer, but this file is not valid for SqlServer Express. Or there any alternatives?

Hi all,
The following dbo.Tables of Northwind.mdf in my .SQLEXPRESS (SQL Server Management Studio Express) are missing:
dbo.Categories
dbo.CustomerCustomerDemo
dbo.CustomerDemographics
dbo.Customers
dbo.Employees
dbo.EmployeeTerritories
dbo.Order Details
dbo.Orders
dbo.Products
dbo.Regions
dbo.Shippers
dbo.Suppliers
dbo.Territories.
But, I have these dbo.Tables in a different Database "xyzDatabase". How can I copy each of these dbo.Tables to the another blank dbo.Table of Northwind Database?
I right clicked on the dbo.Categories and I saw the following thing:
dbo.Categories
New Table...
Modify
Open Table
Script Table as |> CREATYE To |>
DROP To |>
SELECT To |>
INSERT To |> New Query Editor Window
File....
Clipboard
UPDATE To |>
DELETE to |>
From the above observation,I think it is possible to copy the dbo.Table from the one Database to the Northwind Database that needs to be repaired. Please help and advise me how to do this task or tell me where I can find the Microsoft document that gives the details of this X-copy thing.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang
P. S. I am using VB 2005 Express to create a project to learn "Calling Stored Procedures with ADO.NET" (see Paul Kimmel's article in http://www.developer.com/db/article.php/3438221) that needs the dbo.Tables of Northwind Database and my Northwind Database has been screwed up for quite a while and needs a big repair.

Hello, I have a table that I would like to copy into a different database. I'm using SQL Server 2005. The reason I don't just copy the data with "SELECT * FROM..." is because the desired table doesn't exist yet. It has ~50 columns and I'd rather not recreate them all (I didn't design it). Thanks.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to make an exact copy of a production database table in our development database.
1. Script the production table using Script Table as Create
2. Drop the existing development table
3. Use the Script (see 1. above) to recreate the development table (substituting the proper database name)
4. Insert all records from the production table into the development table (insert into table development_table select * from production_table)
Does this create an exact duplicate including the proper sequencing of identity fields? Meaning if there are deleted records in the production database table, their identity fields would be numbered something like 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 11, etc. I want to make sure that the identity fields are numbered exactly the same in the development table.
If not, how do I do that?
thanks in advance!
Hi there,
this maybe a simple question but is it possible to copy a table from one sqlmobile database to another?
here is what i would like to be able to do although i am aware that it is not necessarily the most efficient way
- for various reasons this is how i have to do it:
A copy of a sqlmobile2005 database will sit on an SD Card on a pocket pc - DatabaseA.
A second database - DatabaseB - will then be sent as an attachment via email and pasted onto the sdcard
The information in DatabaseB is an update for DatabaseA.
At least 2 of the tables in DatabaseA need emptying and refilling with the data from matching tables in DatabaseB.
I'm guessing the easy way to to this would be a parameterized insert statement but unfortunately these tables contain approx. 900 records and i fear this would be a long process.
Any helpwith this matter would be much appreciated
Darren.
Hi,
i want to copy a table from one database to another on the same server. I know this
works using the BCP command, but i'm looking for an easier way.
Is it possible to do that with an T-SQL command?

I am working on a migration project.
Doing the standard processing, taking source data in a staging database, where I then create the new target tables, transform the source data into the new target table structure, and load the data.
However, having created the new target tables in my staging database, I cannot accurately migrate these tables into the new database.
An example table.
The following is the script created by SQL Management Studio if I right click and script the table as CREATE.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tbPRO_Package]( [PRO_PackageID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [CreatedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbPRO_Package_CreatedDate] DEFAULT (getdate()), [CreatedBy] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbPRO_Package_CreatedBy] DEFAULT (suser_sname()), [ModifiedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbPRO_Package_ModifiedDate] DEFAULT (getdate()), [ModifiedBy] [varchar](50) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbPRO_Package_ModifiedBy] DEFAULT (suser_sname()), [GUID] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbPRO_Package_GUID] DEFAULT (newid()), CONSTRAINT [PK_tbPackage_ID] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [PRO_PackageID] ASC)WITH (IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY]
Note that the field PRO_PackageID has an identity, and is a primary key.
Also note the constraints on several fields and the default values.
If I try to move this table and data using the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard, telling it to drop and create the table, and to keep identity, it does not correctly generate the table defintion - it generates the following script
CREATE TABLE [Migration Staging].[dbo].[tbPRO_Package] ([PRO_PackageID] int NOT NULL,[PackageCode] varchar(8) NOT NULL,[LKU_VatRateCode] nchar(10),[CancellationCharge] decimal(18,2),[CancellationMultiplier] decimal(18,2),[CreatedDate] datetime NOT NULL,[CreatedBy] varchar(50) NOT NULL,[ModifiedDate] datetime NOT NULL,[ModifiedBy] varchar(50) NOT NULL,[GUID] uniqueidentifier NOT NULL)
We've lost the identity, the PK,the constraints and the defaults.
If I use the SSIS Transfer SQL Server Objects Task, then the primary key is kept, but the identity is not, nor are the constraints or defaults.
Am I missing something? Is it actually POSSIBLE to accurately move tables between databases?

Hi all,
I'm trying to copy a table from an odbc db to an sqlserver2005 db. SSIS will not do this for me and says I must write a script. I'm not experienced enough in sqlserver to do this and was unable to find a example of this by searching the web. Does anyone know of any websites with an explanation of how to do this?
thanks for any help.

Hi y'all, I am doing some searching in the archived threads, but I have a need to copy a table in a database to a new table in the same database, but the new table will be just a table with test data. There are several million rows in the table and I want to do the copy without logging the new inserts in the transaction log.
Is there an easy way to do this? I found this in my search efforts so far, but am just wondering if there is an easier/better way to accomplish what I want to do.
BTW, I normally wouldn't care, but the boss is complaining that it is taking too long to do the copy for a different team, so asked if I knew a way to copy data to a new table without logging. I don't, so here I am ;)
Here is what I found so far:Following 3 things need to be done
1) create table as not logged initially
2) set autocommit=off
3) and activate the not logged initially option
Now the inserts happen without the use of transaction logs

Hi there,
I'm struggeling for more than a week now with this problem, without a finding the solution.
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")
DaSQL.Update(DsSQL, "Tabella")
Note I tried also the following, withou a result;
DsSQL = DsAccess.Copy
DaSQL.Update(DsSQL, "Tabella")
Please is there someone who could respond !!???
Hi,
I'm new to SQL Server 2005 SSIS. I'm trying to do something very simple, but I cannot figure it out, PLEASE HELP!
I have a flat file, which I read and then insert the data in a database table, that works fine. The problem is that I don't want to insert duplicate records. For example; if I run the package again, it will appent to the table. What I need to do is that if the package runs again, check if the record already exist, based one two columns, date and hour, and do not insert the record.
Thank you,
Aldo
