Not sure if this is the correct Forum, anyway lemme me know your views. I
have SQL Server running in two remote machines (in different geographical
locations). I need to import a database from one SQL Server
installation to another installation. What is best possible solution:
1) Transfering the .mdf and .ldf file from one installation to another installation
2) Generating the records of all the tables in the database to a common
file format CSV and then loading it in destination database. If this is
ok then how to generate import and export data using CSV format
I'm fairly new to MS SQL & I have a problem copying tables from one d/b to another. When I do an import or export select Copy tables, the tables & the data get transferred, but all the Identities are set to NO. My D/Bs have 188 tables & it's a pain to reset all of them manually.
Is there a setting I don't know about that will transfer the tables & maintain the Identity? (I'm using SQL Server Management Studio 9.0)
may i know where to find more detail like how to importing and exporting data in ms sql server.? Hope can get the more detail about it and also teach me step by step. (hope can include the photo).
dBase importing was handled by the import/export tool provide with SQL 2000. I see no way to import .dbf files in sql 2005 except to load the sql 2000 tools. I realize that the dbf format is old, but there is still a lot of stuff that comes in dbf and sql2005 needs to support this.
Where can I find an importer for dbf to sql2005?
I keep hearing lots of work arounds but nothing to explain why a common data format can't be easily imported/exported in sql2005 tools. Whats the deal?
I am not quite sure whether it is possible to export a sql table farmat into a , for instance, dbf format table using solely sql statements from my VB application. We know that ACCESS has this profile , however I have no success regarding it for my 7.0 SQL version.
When I right click on a database I don't have Import/Export under tasks. However I do have C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSBinnDTSWizard.exe installed and can invoke it manually.
What do I need to do to get it to show up in tasks?
This may be a simple question with an obvious answer, but I'm fairly new to databases and I can't seem to find the right procedure.
I created a database on my machine. If I want to copy the information from this database (columns, tables, and entries specifically) from my machine to another SQL server on a different machine, what is the best way to do this without manually re-entering all of the information?
Is there a simple export/import of a database for transferring it from one server to another?
I have a web application I created in asp.net + sql2005 and am deploying a genercized version of it to multiple clients. I have created a script which dynamically generates a database to a server and creates all of the tables, procs, and views. I now need data from the old database, which will be imported into the new database. It's basically default users, lookup values, etc. What are some methods of getting this data out of the old server and into the new server? I was thinking about generating flat files with the data, then writing code to loop through and insert the data, but it seems very tedious. Do I have any other options? I cannot use Backup and Restore because I have no access to the new sql server's filesystem.Thanks.
also i was wondering, that i have been reading that with this sp2 for sql server 2005 express you are able to use the dts wizard, is this true? i have a few databases in access that i would like to import into sql, would i have to create the tables first in sql then import or will the import also bring the tables & structure in?
I am currently redirecting lookup failures into error tables with ErrorCode and ErrorColumn. It works fine until I want to transfer data into the archived database. The SSIS pacakage generate by SQL Exporting tool is throwing an "duplicate name of 'output column ErrorCode and ErrorColumn" error. This is caused by oledb source error output. The error output automatically add ErrorCode and ErrorColumn to the error output selection and not happy with it.
I think the question is down to "How to importing/exporting data when table contains ErrorCode or ErrorColumn column?"
Hi all, I have a large Excel file with one large table which contains data, i've built a SQL Server DataBase and i want to fill it with the data from the excel file.
I've been tasked with the following: Export data from old table, to newly created table(s). I say tables because there's three destination tables total, and only two source tables. The two old tables are virtually the same, so the new table will be a combination of the two. More importantly I'll need to chop out some data from the old tables and create new details with them. As you can see, the old table was very "flat" in the sense that they kept adding new fields for bits of detail data (10 for one type of detail, 15 for another type of detail). I'd like to house that data in separate linkable tables. This is an example of the old and new data structure:
I noticed that when transferring tables from the local server to the remote server that some colums lost its properties ... For example, If I am sepcifying a column to have identity seed and identity increment, it is transferred to the server without these properties...
How make a carbon copy of tables from my local to the remote server ?
Dear All, I am working on a project to migrate a .net desktop application to web based application using ASP.NET 2.0. The present app has lots of tables with data in sql server 2000. The new app is to have Oracle 10.2 G as data store. Although the data store is being changed most of the tables in the present database will remain same along with the data they hold. My problem is: 1) how to transfer the tables to the new datastore 10.2 G in an automated way? After all it's not possible to create each table afresh in Oracle and then insert records into each table one by one. If that is done it will take atleast few months if not years. 2) can I export the tables to a xml file and then import it from Oracle.How to do that? It has become a nightmare for me. Pls suggest the easiest way and which takes the minimum time. A solution to the problem will be gratefully accepted. Thanks.
I need to export data from multiple tables into one single file. The big problem here is that the tables will have different column types.
I am attempting to create something that allows users to be able to send me the contents of their tables's, through either email or ftp. I would prefer to make it easier for them so they only have to deal with one file, instead of the multiple files that bcp and dts create when exporting from multiple tables.
I was thinking of using DTS or BCP and then join (append) the files (either zip them or append the files together in some fashion), but I was hoping that there was an easier method out there.
Any ideas on how I may accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.
I've tried to create a SSIS package to simply export a bunch of tables as flat files, and am having troubles because when the for each loop hits the second table the column mappings in the flat file destination are not synchronised with its schema.
I created a for each loop with an enumerator that returns the table names and sets a user variable.
I created a data flow task which dynamically connects to the table name variable.
In the Flat File Destination there is a column mapping property, but I don't know how to reset these mappings on each iteration.
Hi, I've just got my brand new shiny SQLServer and would like to set some new tables set up etc. But I'm really lazy and I was wondering if there is any way of importing table layouts, coulmns, whole structure type thing into SQLServer from Microsoft Access using DTS? I know it's a bit optimistic, but just wondered....

I am trying to import application tables from oracle but they do not show up in the list of tables. I suspect that this is because the tables are owned by System. Is there any way other than changing the owner to get these tables to appear in the import list?
I'm making an application in Delphi that use an SQL database, i want the user can import a table in DBF format (that its located in another computer) to the SQL Server (in the database that i want) by one click of a button.
I try with the import wizard but its not what i want because it requiere to do the process manually. Its there anyway of achive this (Stored Procedure or something?)

I am having a problem to get all datas into one table I must get datas from 2 other tables datas from the first table are columns but datas of the second table are rows
I cannot change the structure of TableA because an other application is using it as it is
TableA num | value | key 1 | a | 1400 2 | b | 1401 3 | c | 1402 4 | d | 1403 ...|... | 1403
TableB key | name | descr | value 400 | john | ok | 451
TableC (the table where I want to insert datas from Table1 and Table2)
val1 | val2 | val3 | val4 |name | descr | value 1 | 2 | 3 |4 | john | ok | 451
TableA has thousands of rows and different numbers I must get 8 different datas from TableA
so I get an horrible Query !
SELECT
TableB.name, TableB.descr, TableB.value, TableA_1.value AS val1, TableA_2.value AS val2, TableA_3.value AS val3, TableA_4.value AS val4, TableA_5.value AS val5, TableA_6.value AS val6, TableA_7.value AS val7, TableA_8.value AS val8
FROM dbo.TableB INNER JOIN dbo.TableA_1 ON TableB.key = TableA_1.key INNER JOIN dbo.TableA_2 ON TableB.key = TableA_2.key INNER JOIN dbo.TableA_3 ON TableB.key = TableA_3.key INNER JOIN dbo.TableA_4 ON TableB.key = TableA_4.key INNER JOIN dbo.TableA_5 ON TableB.key = TableA_5.key INNER JOIN dbo.TableA_6 ON TableB.key = TableA_6.key INNER JOIN dbo.TableA_7 ON TableB.key = TableA_7.key INNER JOIN dbo.TableA_8 ON TableB.key = TableA_8.key
WHERE TableA_1.num = 145 AND TableA_2.num = 80 AND TableA_3.num = 3160 AND TableA_4.num = 41 AND TableA_5.num = 50 AND TableA_6.num = 51 AND TableA_7.num = 53 AND TableA_8.num = 56

I've got a csv that I need to import. It's about 74 columns wide and 2500 rows long. What I need to do is select the first 3 columns from the columns from the csv and put them into one table and then put every 7 columns (plus the 1st column as the primary key) into a different table.
I've not explained that very well, basically it's like this...
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P

Table 1 Data
cs# A1 fe B1 cl C1
Table 2
cs# A1 desc D1 date E1 pay F1 amount G1 vat H1 total I1 cReq J1
I'm not really sure were to start. I want to import the data nightly into the tables. I've tried to use the import wizard but I can't seem to select the data I want and exclude the data I don't.
I am transferring data from Oracle tables into text files, and facing these errors.
1. I have a varaible working as an expression and my query goes into that variable and onwards that variable is passed to dataflow task, which parse the query. my query is simple saying "Select * from PLS.ABC" where PLS is my schema, but the task generates error "Opening a rowset for "Select * from PLS.ABC" failed. check that the table exists in the database. and surely the table is there.
2. I have a foreach loop that iterates through all the table names and the table names are passed onwards to the varaible query, the dataflow task inside the foreach loop gets the variable query and will generate text files based on tablenames which i have supplied in another variable to the connectionstring property of the flatfile destination. Is it possible or not. all the tables have different columns and i need the output in text files.
hi. this is a beginner question as i am new to databases :)so, I have an access database and I want to take 2 tables from it and copy it to sql server in my ASP.NET application (.MDF file)I have visual studio 2005 installed on my computer and got no sql server 2005 installed on it. what is the way copy 2 tables to the ASP.NET database application?thanks alot guys.

I have an origin data folder with many foxpro dbf files
When I go through the "wizard" to import data from the origin folder using the "free table" option, I can locate the folder just fine. The form shows me a list of the files in the folder - but I cannot scroll through the list.
When I select the folder and continue, I test the connection and get a message that it is fine.
Then I go on to actually import tables. The list that is presented of tables that I can import does not include all the dbf files in the folder. There are 207 files in the origin folder, but only a fraction (about 120) of those show up in the list as candidates to be imported. I cannot see a pattern to the ones that are excluded from the list.
Does anyone know what could be causing this strange behavior?
Does anyone know how I can do this? I have 2 tables in an ODBC datasource (INV HEADER) and (INV DETAILS). The relationship on these 2 tables is (INVNUM). I want to import these tables into SQL 2005 on a nightly basis by date. The problem is the date field is on the (INV HEADER) table and not the (INV DETAILS) table. Basically I want to import all the (INV DETAILS) rows that have the same (INVNUM) as the (INVHEADER) but don't know how to do this. I could use a join on the source tables but how would I direct specific columns to 2 different destinations? Any help on this would be great and appreciated. Thanks
