Basic idea is we have our Silverlight application, and need to provide data to third party application when user want to send (export) a record of T_MainList
We maintain our data in Oracle and third party's SQL Server, third party people are providing us access to write a stored procedure, and a web service if needed.
Same table schema is maintained on both databases (Oracle and SQL Server), need to copy a record of T_MAINLIST on user request and it has other dependent data sublist can have multiple records and each sublist record can have multiple subsublist records
Is serializing data of whole dataset as xml and send them in stored procedure. De-serialized data in stored procedure (on SQL server) and insert data into the appropriate tables good idea?
Oracle has the possibility to directly connect to another database, see the example for MS SQL server here. That should be faster then using xml ex- and import...

I am modifying an access 2010 application so that it uses SQL server to run its queries. The data has been transferred to the server some times ago, and used as linked tables, but that proves a bit slow and non-optimal. So I'm trying to put the queries on the server.
I have no problem for simple queries, views,... and I'm using stored functions when there is a need for simple parameters (dates, ids,...).
But now I have a process in that application that selects a bunch of ids in the database, stores them in a local table, does a bunch of actions on them (report with sub report, print preview, print, update of the original records with the date of print when the user confirms that everything printed OK), and empties the local table if all actions succeed.
I can't simply use an SQL server table to store the ids since many people use the application at the same time, and the same table is used in several processes; I can't use temporary tables since they disappear as soon as access goes to the next action; and I can't find a way to use a local table as a parameter to server stored procedures. Basically I'm stuck.
Can anyone help? Is there a way to do that (pass a bunch of values as a table to a server stored function)? Or another process that would achieve the same result (have a table on the server specific to the current user, or a general table and somehow identify the lines belonging to current user, or anything else)?
There are 2 methods that I use. Both work very well for multi-user apps. Here are the basics. You'll need to work out the details.
Create a table (tblSessions) in SQL Server with an identity column SessID (INT NOT NULL).
Create a function in Access to generate and retrieve a new SessID.
Create a second SS table tblWork with 2 columns SessID, YourID. Add appropriate indexes and keys. Link this table to your Access app. Then instead of inserting the IDs for your query into an Access temp table, insert them into tblWork along with a new SessID. You can now join tblWork to other SS tables/views to use as the datasource for you reports. Be sure to add the SessID that you generated to your where clause.
Create a stored procedure to generate the data for your reports. Include a parameter #YourIDList VARCHAR(MAX). Call the proc via a passthrough queryand pass the list of your IDs as a comma (or whatever you prefer) separated string to #YourIDList. In the proc, split #YourIDList into a temp table. SS2016+ has a STRING_SPLIT function. For older versions, roll your own. There are plenty of examples available. Then join the temp table to the other tables you need to generate your output. Use the PT query as your report datasource, or dump it into an Access temp table and use that as you report datasource.
I have a database called AQOA_Core with huge amount of data.
I have a newly created database called AQOA_Core1 which is basically empty. I want to write a query to duplicate AQOA_Core to AQOA_Core1 without the data. I guess to be precise I want to create a skeleton of the primary database into the secondary database.
PS: I use Toad for my database operations.
You can use SQL Server Script Wizard for scripting database objects. You can exclude data, and select the database object types you want to include in your script
Please check the SQL Server guide I referenced above,
I hope it helps you
I need some data of one db and some data of another db and perform some operation. Can we do this in sql server 2008? In my project suppose I want to fetch data of doctor and Chemist database in CRM Database and want to generate operation, How can we do that?
If both db belongs on the same sql server instance you can use full qualified names of objects like [DbName].[scheme].[table] if on different instances then you must create linked server. Of course, providing access as expected.
I have a PostgreSQL database that stores real-time data from sensors in a specific table (every 30sec).
What I want to do, is to get periodically the data from the remote PostgreSQL database (for instance every 30sec) and store them in SQL Server 2005 to manipulate them locally. I don't care about having the two databases with duplicate tables. Actually this is what I want to achieve!
So far, I have as Linked Server the PostgreSQL to SQL Server and I can query and retrieve the sensor data. However, I prefer to store them in my SQL Server for performance reasons.
Solution so far:
Make select openquery statements with the linked PostgreSQL and insert the results to my table in SQL Server. Repeat this periodically and store fresh data only (e.g. with a larger timestamp).
I assume that my proposed solution is not ideal. I want to know what are the best practices to achieve this synchronization between the two databases.
Thank you in advance!
If you don't want to write your own code(implementations) to do that you can use SymmetricDS to synch the table from postgreSQL to MSSQL .
When I right click on the database I want to export data from, I only get to select a single table or view, rather than being able to export all of the data. Is there a way to export all of the data?
If this is not possible, could you advise on how I could do the following:
I have two databases, with the same table names, but one has more data than the other
They both have different database names (Table names are identical)
They are both on different servers
I need to get all of the additional data from the larger database, into the smaller database.
Both are MS SQL databases
Being that both are MS SQL Servers, on different hosts... why bother with CSV when you can setup a Linked Server instance so you can access one instance from the other via a SQL statement?
Make sure you have a valid user on the instance you want to retrieve data from - it must have access to the table(s)
Create the Linked Server instance
Reference the name in queries using four name syntax:
INSERT INTO db1.dbo.SmallerTable
SELECT *
FROM linked_server.db.dbo.LargerTable lt
WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT NULL
FROM db1.dbo.SmallerTable st
WHERE st.col = lt.col)
Replace WHERE st.col = lt.col with whatever criteria you consider to be duplicate values between the two tables.
There is also a very good tool by Redgate software that syncs data between two databases.
I've also used SQL scripter before to generate a SQL file with insert statements that you can run on the other database to insert the data.
If you right-click on the database, under the Tasks menu, you can use the Generate Scripts option to produce SQL scripts for all the tables and data. See this blog post for details. If you want to sync the second database with the first, then you're better off using something like Redgate as suggested in mpenrow's answer.
