Searching Entire Database

Mar 11, 2004

Is there any way to do a complete database search in SQL server? For instance, if I have a criteria "DBFORUMS", I would like to scan through all user tables in my database to get all records with the word "DBFORUMS" stored, just like want we are doing in "Quick Search" in dbforums site.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Searching An Entire Database

Dec 28, 2005

Hi, this is my first post on these forums, so please excuse me if this topic has already been covered.

I'm currently working in a power station for student vacation work placement. I need to export data from a database that gets it's data from machinery and inputs out in the plant. The machines that provide this input put it into a database, and I need to find the relevant data to export.

My problem is that, in some cases, the sample data that i'm given may be under different field names, in a completely unrelated table. I was looking for a way to search the entire database (250+ tables) for a certain string, so I can find where it is in the database, and run queries on the table it originates from. For example:

My sample data shows me that I have an object with the ID Y03A3DEA_TH1. I know this ID will occur somewhere else in the database, but i'm just not sure where.

If anyone knows of any way that I can search the entire database for specific data, either using tools in MS SQL 2000, or 3rd party apps, i would greatly appreciate their help.

Thanks a lot,
Jack Smith

How To Preserve Entire Database

Jul 12, 2005

Hi, I'm a noob who sucks at programming, and sucks even more when it comes to database.

I'm operating a small website with an SQL Server database that drives my shopping cart. I want to close this website down, but I don't want to lose all the data in the database in case I want to do something in the future.

How do you backup the entire database into a file so i might be able to import it at later times? Do I have to do this with SQL, T-SQL, or the manager?

How To Duplicate An Entire Database

Copying Entire Database

Feb 4, 2008



Hi,

Is it possible to copy a database from the existing database. I mean to say creating a duplicating database.

Note: I can do it by using "Generate SQL Server Script Wizard" or "Database Publishing Wizard" which saves a some filename.sql and later executing this will create another database by assigning some xyzdatabase name.

My main motive is copying a database in a single line script without using this lengthy sciprt.

Example

FirstDatabase (contains 10 tables 10 stored procedures)
SecondDatabase (also contains 10 tables 10 stored procedures)

If possible, can you write a script that attach a database from the C:MyTemporaryDatabase

Because this i need through programming Visual Basic using SQL Server. I want to create some temporary database.


Waiting for your reply.

Thanks.


Best Regards

How To Create Entire Database Trigger

Apr 10, 2014

I want to replace every single 1/1/1900 date I have in my system with null, on an entire database level. I never want them, they cause multiple issues, and I need them gone.

I have made a trigger on a test table that works for inserts, but not updates:

CREATE TRIGGER UpdateDate ON test FOR INSERT AS
IF EXISTS (select * FROM inserted WHERE CheckDate ='1/1/1900')
BEGIN
UPDATE test SET CheckDate=Null
FROM test T INNER JOIN inserted I ON T.AutoID=I.AutoID
WHERE I.CheckDate='1/1/1900'
END

Also, it only works on this table, and the specific field mentioned.

I am looking for a global, databse level trigger that will replace 1/1/1900 with null whenever it appears from an insert, or an update statement.

Script Out The Entire Database Objects - Is There A Good Way?

Jul 27, 1998

After found out the `transfer object` command in MS SQL EM didn`t work well
in my databases, I started code by myself to generate the `Create xxx` statements to copy objects across databases (structure only) using SQL.

I`ve coded out most of them, logins, defaults, UDT, tables, stored procedures,
but then I started to have problems with primary keys and foreign key const.

Has anyone tried to do the same thing before or is there some SQL scripts created to handle this already? Please advise me.

I am thinking to use SQL-DMO with VBscript now. But I still prefer a good
SQL script (old thought, the DB-Lib based `isql` is more reliable than the
SQL-OLE).

Thanks for any suggestion.

Tranferring/Copying Entire Database To Remote Server

Jul 15, 2007

This problem may appear trivial to you guys but is troubling me since quite some time now! The problem is that I created a website using express studio happily and it worked flawlessly on the local host. Now I want to move it to a remote server and my host created a database name ASPNETDB for me on the server. The problem is that that ASPNETDB database is virtually empty and I want to copy all my tables,stored procedures etc etc(complete database) to the remote ASPNETDB database. How can I do that? In the management studio express edition there is no command available to copy paste all contents of the database to another database. Please help I am quite confused!

How To Use Transfer SQL Object To Copy An Entire Database Including Logins And Users

Dec 14, 2007



I have read the previous threads on the bugs with this task mainly: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1438968&SiteID=1 . These are great posts that helpmed me avoid wasting time. I haven't seen one yet that addresses copying an entire database including the sql server logins.


I would like to import the ENTIRE database from one (2005) server to another(2005) using the SSIS Transfer SQL Object task (not just sprocs,tables,views and functions). I have figured out how to pull the tables,views,sprocs and functions ... by using an execute sql task to drop these objects. But I cannot get this to work for users since the user dbo cannot be dropped and guest can only be disabled. I am creating a new database (this is the database where the sql objects will be copied to) via management studio to test this. There has to ba a way to get this working ... Microsoft must have published some sort of KB article on this task or a Script Task using SMO object calls. If need be I can drop the entire database on the target machine and have SSIS recreate it.

The only reason I'm willing to take a risk with SSIS rather than backup and restore is because of time constraints (I assume the SSIS task is faster) and backup storage administration.

Searching A Database...

Jul 26, 2006

Hi,

This is the first database I have ever created, so please bear with me.

I've created a simple database with 1 column and about 80,000 rows. In each row is a word (basically a dictionary without definitions).

I have written a query which works, and is, as follows (you'll notice that i'm not the most original of people)

SELECT
word
FROM dbo.words
WHERE word= 'hello'

This finds the word hello.

In excel I have a row with 25 letters and then a column with every single combination of letters from 3 to 10 lettered words. (It makes sense to me!)

This comes back with a lot of possibilities (thousands), but is great in the sense that when I change any of the 25 letters the entire column automatically updates.

What I am trying to do is then take all of these possibilities and compare them against the dictionary.

I have written a line in excel which automatically creates a cell a bit like this, for the first couple of thousand possibilities:

WHERE word= 'abc' or word= 'fgm' or word= 'klm' or word= 'pqr' or word= 'uvw' or word= 'bcd' or word= 'ghi' or word= 'lmn' or word= 'qrs' or word= 'vwx'

I then whack this into the query from above and off it goes. The only problem is that the search takes ages, and because of limitations in excel I can't put more than a thousand or so words in the cell.

I am certain there is a faster way of searching through all the possibilities, any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Searching A Database

Oct 4, 2007

Im trying to do a database query based on user input from a text field. I pulled apart the string that was
entered into the search form and stored it in textArray. The problem I
am having is when I include commmon words such as the, near, view and so
on into the search field I end up with zero results. when I only search
for less common words such as rocky and argentina for example the search
works fine. at first I thought that maybe it was generating too many
results and was screwing up but when i search for rocky it works and
when i search for near rocky it doesnt.

I realize the code might not be the most efficient but here it is...


@searches_pages, @searches = paginate(:searches, :per_page => 10,
:conditions => getSearch(textArray,params[:country]))

def getSearch(textArray,selectedCountry )
result = []
string = ""
if selectedCountry != "Optional Field"
string << "country = (?) and "
end
textArray.each do |x|
if textArray[textArray.length - 1] == x
string << "match(country,caption, keywords, notes) against
(?) "
else
string << "match(country, caption, keywords, notes) against
(?) and "
end
end
result << string
if selectedCountry != "Optional Field"
result << selectedCountry
end
textArray.each do |x|
result << x
end
result
end

Im not sure if i supplied enough information but I am trying to finish
this project soon so any type of responses would help. Also, if there
is an easier way to do an sql search based off of what is entered into
the search field please let me know. The reason I did this is because I
wasn't sure how many words the user would be entering into the field.
And without knowing this I could not hard code the conditions => so I
wrote a helper method.

Database Searching

Jan 28, 2008


I am finishing up my senior project application but I wanted to include a search function that would search all the tables of the database and look for matching text that is input by the user. I am not really looking for code or anything just some pointers in the right direction. I was thinking that I would have to create a view that is populated by a sub-query. My problem is how do I output the results of a search of every relevent table in the database when they all have very different column names and data types? Im guessing column aliases are involved somehow but I am not really sure where I should start. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Searching For Values Within A Database?

Oct 2, 2014

I've been given read access to a database and I also am looking at a GUI which draws data from the database. I am trying to map the results I see from the GUI to find the columns that the data is in... So.. big database, takes a long time to search the entire thing so I try to narrow it down by the following:

Code:
select * from information_schema.columns where table_schema = 'db19' and table_catalog = 'masterdb' and
table_name in(select table_name from information_schema.tables where table_type = 'base table' and table_catalog = 'masterdb' and table_schema = 'db19' and data_type in ('text' and 'varchar'))

This essentially gives me a list of tables and columns whos data type is either text or varchar. Once I have this list... I then run the following on each:

Code:
select top 1 [col_name] from [table_name] where [col_name] like ' (here is the value I want to search) '

So this runs through each table, looking to see if a value exists and if so, prints the result.

I am then left with a much much smaller list that I can manually look through and find the one I am looking to specifically find.

Is it possible to do this running only one query... where the output gives me all the columns in with a specific data type that contain a value I enter Anything else to make this more efficient

I am aware that there are data mining programs that could probably do this however I only have read access on the database which often causes a problem. The application I am using is "Aqua Data Studio" ....
