I want to move an existing table from another.
Example
B.mdf dbo.xx to C.mdf dbo.xx
B.mdf dbo.xx has records - I created a script and install the script for C.mdf dbo.xx
C.mdf dbo.xx is empty -
All I need now is to populate the records from B.mdf dbo.xx to the empty C.mdf dbo.xx
I was telling I could do a cut and paste to copy the dbo.xx
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
How to move existing table(include its constraint and index) into a different filegroup using tsql in Sql Server 2000. We have 1000+ tables in our system and we are planning to move around 500 tables to a new file group, which is available on another SAN drive.
Regards.

Typically small companies or small projects which use SQL Server / IIS / File Shares / .NET solutions deploy these apps on a single server many times using just one IP address and the NETBIOS name of the server for both IIS / SQL. Many times there is no use of DNS and even when there is everything is mapped to the server/netbios name.
As environments grow and there is a requirement to create an n-tier server setup possible due to new security requirements, extention of the intranet to the internet, or to scale out an application you may need to split IIS / SQL into different servers. The question then becomes how do you do this without affecting existing services and you want to have minimal down time without having to change all connection information within deployed apps until you have time to review the changes carefully.
First let me begin with how to move IIS away from SQL and then I'll discuss the reverse.
The best way I've found to control the move of IIS sites is by assigning each site it's own ip address / dns host record and adding the ip address to the server network card and IIS site. Now each time you need to move 1 or more sites you can simply replicate the site to another server and change the dns ip pointer to the new pointer. If you have existing sites which were not setup in this fashion you can also move them to a new server, create a site with name of the old netbios machine name, and redirect the default web site to this new site.
Now you successfully isolated SQL Server from IIS/.NET apps you can take your time and correct the apps to use the new dns entry in connection strings instead of using the netbios name of the machine. Once you have corrected the app you can turn off any redirection.
Now let's assume you have the opposite scenario where you started off with a small server and your SQL database server now requires a server with more memory / more processors and you want to keep IIS / FileShares were they are and want to move SQL Databases to a new server. As I mentioned above a good way to do this is by setting up each database with it's own dns entry a very effective redirection mechanism. However you are may be inheriting a system which does not employ this mechanism and again uses the default netbios machine name, furthermore this may get more complicated because there may be multiple instances of SQL Server running on different port numbers.
You could use SQL Aliases on the clients to redirect connections to the newly created instances but this would require changing every pc and IIS server and it would be cumbursome to manage. It would have been nice if microsoft provided a way to redirect from the server just like IIS does but they did not. A product which will help you setup a server based redirection of ports 1433/1434 and/or any other ports is called porttunnel by steelbytes.com. Once you've installed the redirecting service on the server all new requests on port the ports selected will be redirected to the new server which I recommend be redirected to their own dns entries and this will buy the applications developer time to change their applications.
I would like to hear any comments or experiences with this that any of you may have had or if anyone has found a better solution. I'm in no way associated with the product / or company mentioned above just found it to be a good solution.

Please advise.. Thanks in advance.
Here is my code:
Code Snippet

WHERE
TABLE_TYPE= 'BASE TABLE'
AND TABLE_NAME NOT LIKE 'audit%'
AND TABLE_NAME!= 'sysdiagrams'
AND TABLE_NAME!= 'Audit'
AND TABLE_NAME = 'sales'
WHILE @TABLE_NAME IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
SELECT @TABLE_NAME= MIN(TABLE_NAME) FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Tables
WHERE TABLE_NAME> @TABLE_NAME
AND TABLE_NAME = 'sales'
SELECT @AUDIT_TABLE = 'Audit'+''@TABLE_NAME''
SELECT * INTO @AUDIT_TABLE
FROM @TABLE_NAME
TRUNCATE TABLE @AUDIT_TABLE
ALTER TABLE @AUDIT_TABLE ADD UserAction Char(10),AuditStartTime Char(50),AuditUser Char(50)

i have 2 tables (both containing the same column names/datatypes), say table1 and table2.. table1 is the most recent, but some rows were deleted on accident.. table2 was a backup that has all the data we need, but some of it is old, so what i want to do is overwrrite the rows in table 2 that also exist in table 1 with the table 1 rows, but the rows in table 2 that do not exist in table one, leave those as is.. both tables have a primary key, user_id.
any ideas on how i could do this easily?
thanks
Hello,
I'd like to create a temporary table with the same schema as an exiting table. How can I do this without hard coding the column definitions into the temporary table definition?
I'd like to do something like:
CREATE TABLE #tempTable LIKE anotherTable
..instead of...
CREATE TABLE #tempTable (id INT PRIMARY KEY, created DATETIME NULL etc...
I'm sure there must be a simple way to do this!
Many thanks,

I am using the DTS wizard and having problems importing excel into an existing table.
Problem is that various column in excel are defined as double in the wizard but in my db table it is defined as an integer.
How do I get around this issue so the data types in excel can match up accordingly to my defined data type in my db table?
The wizard does a bad job of guessing the correct data type.
I have heard of using a staging table to import from excel and using that as my source to import into my existing table.
I have a table of approx 1/2 million rows.
On a nightly basis, this table gets rebuilt in a temporary database. Once the table has been built and scrubbed, i need to move it into our webservers db.
I'd like to do this with minimal interuption to the website.
Possible techniques:
1) I could set up a DTS package to copy the table object overwriting the destination table
2) I could export to a flat file and then bulk import into the live table (after truncating it)
3) I could run a process to update smaller chunks of data at a time running delete queries and insert queries.
Anybody have a thought on the best way to do this so that the web users would be virtually unaware that anything was happening ?
Here is the sql code I am using. However this code adds duplicate records. It adds the record and exactly one extra record... any help would be greatly appreciated...
It's wrapped in a little ASP code:

"(Camp_ID,UserName,Password,CampName,Host,Director ,Contact,Address, " &_
"City,State,Zip,Country,Phone,AlternatePhone,Fax,C ontactEmail,AdminEmail, " &_
"URL,CampProfile, InsertTime)" &_
"SELECT * FROM tempcampsignup WHERE Camp_ID = " & lastid
I will be moving production SQL databases (one is 25Gb, the other is 3Gb) to a new server. One of the reasons is the old server has only IDE disks while the new has raid (I don't know the configuration yet).
Database 1 has a primary and one other filegroup. I want to spread the disk I/O by moving table A to it's own filegroup on it's own disk.
For the purposes of testing I have
1. brought a database onto a test server (using sp_detach_db, copying the files and attaching using sp_attach_db)
2. created a new filegroup
3. created a physical file on disk, allocated space and associated with my new filegroup
my question is how do I now move table A into this file?
Hi every body,
Is there anyone know the way to move a table with data to other file group?
hello everybody,

Hi,
I am relatively new to this stuff.
I am using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express (9.00.1399.00)
Can someone tell me the way to get a table and its content to another database (I use two at webhosts4life)
Or perhaps a way to export the data of a table so I can do it at a later stage.
Is that at all possible with this program or do I have to use the non-express version?
Thanks in advance,
Lex

To reduce the load on my current server I wish to move a table which is being updated frequently by a static feed to an independant server.
Is there any way of moving a table with all of it's dependancies (Stored procedures and other tables) to another server without manually finding them all.
I'm very new to this as you can tell so if you require specifics let me know :)

Okay, after I got everything imported, I found that a few thousand columns had "Shifted" on me. So now I am trying to "Shift them over" to where they need to be.
I did this:
INSERT INTO dbo.TABLENAME (COLUMN_NAME_TO_BE POPULATED)
SELECT COLUM_NAME_OF_INFO_TO_BE_MOVED
FROM dbo.TABLENAME
WHERE MFG = 'MANUFACTURER_NAME' AND PN LIKE '8888888888'
GO
I populated the PN column with 8888888888 to use as a reference point, and the MFG column already was populated with the correct name, so I was using those as my unique reference points.
Other columns that have the same MFG name are correct, so I have to use two unique identifiers to specify the actual data that needs to be moved.
It inserted 'NULL' in the whole table after I ran it in the Query Analyzer. It appeared to disregard the WHERE statement all together
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here?
Is there a way to move the data from one column to the next one over by specifying other WHERE criterias?

I have a production application that I am building some upgrades usinga second (empty) copy the database. A few of the upgrades includedchanging the datatypes of a few fields from varchar to int(all thevalues in this column are already numbers)I am not trying to move the data from the production database into theblank database using DTS and the fields that had their datatypeschanged are getting dropped by dts.Is there anyway to move this data easily through dts or through anothermethod and not have the fields with the datatype changes get dropped?I have about 60 tables so it is not as simple as just copying andpasting the data..

Hi All,
I have SSIS package where i will be refreshing 5 cubes. Here i am running my package every 15 minutes because i dont know when my ETL tables inserted once my ETL job is done. My question is that i need to move to another task once my first cube get refreshed. i.e when my first cube gets processed for first 15 minutes i will be updating some column as timestamp in ETL table. And then i will be processing remaining four cubes. For the second 15 minutes i should not process the same first cube rather i should process only the four cubes. Because these four cubes data i am getting from different region.
It can be done in SS 2000 under active x script task. But i need to do it in SSIS under Script Task where i will be checking in ETL table whether my TimeStamp column has value or not. Is it possible to do it? Moreover we have option like disconnected edit in DTS 2000. Is there any similar way to acheive?
Thanks in advance,
