Copy Permissions

Hi,
I've copied tables and views from one SQL Server to another, but the
permissions for each user/role are not copied.
How come.
Thanks,

Copy objects Wizard - deleted data??

I have not used the copy objects wizard that much. I used it today to copy 4
views from my dev box to production. It copied the views, but also wiped out
my data in all the tables that the views are built around!!! In
production!!!!

Can someone provide me some insight into why this happened?

Extremely nasty. I have not used the wizard in question myself, and I
think you understand why after this experience. It's a bit ironic: the
wizards are there to help, but you can only use them, if you know
exactly what they do, and in such case you may not need them.

Anyway my guess is that the wizard saw reason to recreate the underlying
tables as well; possibly because the defintion in production was different
from your dev box.

The correct way to deploy things in production is through change scripts
that are created from information in the version-control system.

restore everything from their backup and the transaction logs.

Normally, whenever I make DB table changes I save the scripts and put them
in a "To Promote to Prod" directory, then use SQL Analyzer to apply those
changes to prod. But changes to views don't prompt for you to save these
changes as a script.

What specifically do you mean by "the version control system"? (As you can
tell by my question, I know just enough of SQL Server to be dangerous, so
any insight on how to handle version contol is appreciated.)

"version control system" or "source code control" is nothing specific
to SQL Server, but fundamentals of software engineering. In a version
control system, developers adds their files. Later a file may be
checked out, maybe by the same developer, maybe by someone else. The
person who checked out the file, performs some changes to it, and
then checks back in again, after proper testing.

When it's getting time to make a build for an integration test, someone
who is a "build master", "configuration manager" or similar puts some
label on all the most recent versions of files, to create a baseline.
During tests, bugs may be uncovered and fixed. The fixes can be inserted
into that baseline, or a new baseline be created.

Eventually, the thing is put into production and a baseline is created for
this. Now, development of 2.0 starts. However, there may be need to
fix bugs in production as well. Say that version 12 of file foo.cs
was in the shipment baseline. By the time a critical bug in production
is discovered, the file at version 14 for 2.0 development. But you
check out version 12, and fix that, and check it in as 12.1 - you
have now created a branch.

The exact terminology for these various actions are different from
product to product. The most commonly used version-control system
in the Microsoft world is Visual SourceSafe. It performs branching
different that about any other product. VSS has a lot of short-comings
as a version-control system, but it's easy to start with, and it's OK
for smaller teams.

http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techin.../2000/books.asp|||For a tool that links the drop/create scripts (for ALL database
objects) in any source control system to your development, test and
production databases have a look at DB Ghost (www.dbghost.com).

The approach is to regard the drop/create scripts as the only true
representation of the desired schema i.e. your 'source database'. Once
you have modifed the drop/create scripts DB Ghost will build a brand
new database from them in an extremely fast manner whilst taking care
of any dependencies. This a) verifies that no syntax or dependency
errors have been introduced and b) gives you a real source database to
use as the basis for a compare and upgrade of your actual target i.e.
the test or production database. DB Ghost does this also and creates a
rock solid delta script of the differences that is guaranteed to work
with no hand coded modifications.

What you end up with is a target database that matches a (labelled) set
of scripts under source control. If this approach is used for all
releases then a full audit trail of who changed what, why and when is
maintained in the source control system so it is easy to do reports
such as 'what changed between release X and release Y' or 'who first
changed sproc Z after release X'.

Relying on comments in sprocs etc. is a recipe for disaster in all but
the most disciplined of IT shops. Let your source control system do
the hard work for you and let DB Ghost handle all the SQL Server code.
It's called the DB Ghost Process and it can bring an amazing level of
quality to your deployments and code control in general.|||Erland,

Thanks for the explanation. I do have experience with source control tools
such as VSS and PVCS, but all have been for file/directory based source,
like VB. How do DB developers apply these principles (check in, check out,
etc.) to SQL Server? This is something I've curious about for a while now.

Thanks,
Chad

They use - or at least should use - files. I've seen a whole lot of
questions on version control of SQL objects as this should be something
difficult or special. It isn't. Source code is source code, and should be
handled as such.

I guess people are tricked by tools that permit you to store things in the
database directly, point-and-click GUI:n for creating tables etc. But all
of that is really files.

The one gotcha there is if you use a tool like Query Analyzer for editing
your SQL objects, is that you disrupt the normal procedure which is
1) check out 2) edit 3) save 4) compile 5) test 6) back to 2 until it
works 7) check in. With a tool like QA, 3 is taken out of the chain, which
can lead to that what you check is not what you tested.

In our shop, we avoid this problem by using a third-party editor, Textpad.
It has no special features for SQL - but it is a better editor than QA.
From Textpad 3 and 4 is one key-click, as we can activate a command-line
from Textpad. We have our own load tool for quite a few bells and whistles,
but the tool could be command-line OSQL.

The thing people seem to want to do, is to take the SQL objects from
the database, but this is actually really wrong when you think of it.
If you work in VB, would get the input for the version-control system
by disassembling the object modules?

You can't directly "downgrade" a database from SQL2005 to SQL2000. I
think your only option is to script it all out and the run these scripts
on your SQL2000 database.

Copy database to same server but with a different name

I have a production database named "PRODUCTION_DATABASE" on "SERVER1". I would like to copy this database (and all its views, stored procedures, etc.) to the same server but under a different database name (i.e., "TEST_DATABASE" on "SERVER1"). This copy will be used for software development testing purposes.

What is the best way to do this?

P.S. I have SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition.You can use DTS to copy the database, or you can use a backup file from the production database and restore it to the test database. to use DTS, right click on the database, select Export, then when given the chance, Export Objects. When selecting a destination database, select New and you will be able to create the new database.|||douglas.reilly,

Your DTS suggestion worked perfectly! Thanks :)

Copy database from SQL 2k to 2005?

I'm able to use SQL 2005's VB management page to import the tables and views from a database in SQL 2000 on another server, but how do I get all of the data like stored procedures, etc...?

you were better off backing up the database from sql 2000 (right click db, all tasks > backup database), then restoring in from device on 2005, that would have kept all your data
|||

if you want the entire dbs data you can perform backup and restore in sql 2005........for certain objects you can script them and execute the script in sql 2k5.......

When you backup the database, you get a file with the extention .BAK
(..actually it can have what ever extension you give it, but .BAK it the
"standard"). This .BAK file is just a normal file that you can copy as any
other file. If you copy this file to a location on your destination server,
you can restore this file on the destination server, and then you'll have an
exact copy of your database.
When you use sp_detach_db/sp_attach_db it's the actual files belonging to
the database you are working with (Database and logfiles). If you run
sp_detach_db, you'll have to copy the .mdf and .ldf file from the source
server to the destination server. When you've copied the files, you'll have
to run sp_attach_db BOTH on the source server (to get the database attach
again) and on the destination server (to get the database created).
Both the BACKUP/RESTORE and sp_detach_db/sp_attach_db syntaxes can be found
in Books On Line.

Copy database compability

Hi,

In sql 2000 was possible to copy entire database objects from one db to another. This includes tables, pk, indexes, views, sp, functions, logins and so on.

This is very usefull because at the same time it creates a full log with entire database scripting, it can be used to track changes in databases.

In sql 2005, I can't find a solution like this.

Someone have an idea to this?

Hi

Even in SQL2005 you can copy whole database with complete schema intact using SSIS (Transfer database task).

Thanx

Copy a view

Hi

At home i have sqlserver and at work we have sqlserver
At home i have make some views i also would like to use
on the server at work
To day i try to use import from my server to the server at work
but when i import my views the views become a table on the server at work

Is there a way to copy/import the views on from my server at home to the server at work

On my work can i connect to my server at home, so this is not the problem.

Or shall i make new views on the server at work?

Alvin

You could script the views to files (at home) and then take the scripted views to work, open them and execute and the views will get created on your work Server

In Server Management Studio, right click the view you want to script and choose

Script View >> as CREATE >> to File...

The file created will have an extension of .sql but it is a text file...

OR

If you can connect to your server from work, you can do the above, but change >> to File TO >> to New Query Editor Window and then you can cut/paste the script into your work server and execute to create the view...

Thanks

Alvin

Converting SP to SQL Server 2005

I have a SQL Server 2000 database that is approximately 100 GB in size with
200 stored procedures and 30 views.
I would like to convert this SQL Server 2000 database to a SQL Server 2005
database.
Have are the differences that I will have converting this database with
triggers, indexes, stored procedures, and views.
Thank You,You can run the SQL 2005 upgrade advisor against your database to identify
items you need to address before/after the conversion. In any case, it's a
good idea to test before upgrading production databases.
Hope this helps.

Converting MSDE 7 to SQL2000?

Hi All,
I am trying to upgrade a program that used MSDE 7 but now
migrating to SQL2000. I performed a tables & Views import
from one server to another however the program returns
errors when trying to intall its upgrade:
SQL Error Message from
CBESDBInstaller::ExecuteSql.executeDirect: SQLSTATE:
42S01 Native error: 2714 Message: There is already an
object named 'vMDSMap' in the database.
It looks like it has changed the format of the db during
the import. Has anyone successfully migrated from MSDE 7
to SQL2000?
Thanks
The simplest way I'd use is:
1. On the MSDE1.0 (SQL Server7, not MSDE 7) computer, detach the said
database.
2. Copy the *.mdf and *.ldf files to the SQL Server2000 computer.
3. Attach the files to SQL 2000.
