I have a SQL Server database in Azure. I need to add a field to one of the tables. I have no idea how to proceed. I'm very familiar with SQL Server but not on Azure. Help!!!
You do it exactly the same way as in SQL Server.
ALTER TABLE ... ADD ...
or using Management Studio. If is recent enough, it can connect to Azure SQL DB.

I'm making a project with SQL Server but I just can get data from Oracle database in my customer's PC. Because they want to manage data before i can do with it. I have used Linked Server of Microsoft and Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant for Oracle to get data from Oracle database. But I have a problem I dont know when my customer INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE Oracle records. Is there anyway to migrate data from Oracle automatically to my SQL Server?
Really need a help. I have to manual do it everytime I want to update SQL Server database to get new records from Oracle.
Thanks in advance!
I'm not able to find in SQL Server 2005 the utility that phpmyadmin has for exporting tables.
I need a way to dump all info a table contains in a query with all the instert into in it.
How can I do that with SQL Server 2005?
Use the Database publishing wizard tool you can find it under the SQL Server install directory
We have an application (BaaN) on Oracle Database.
We also have an application that is on SQL Server 2005 which uses Oracle (BaaN) contents.
Currently we cache all contents of the Oracle DB to SQL Server nightly through linked server from SQL Server to Oracle.
Thought of using a trigger on Oracle db tables to write contents to Oracle table (DeltaCommits) as the commits occur, and then periodically look for entries in DeltaCommits from SQL Server using a scheduled job.
Or can you please suggest a better way to accomplish this ..
Thanks
It's possible to use replication to transfer data between Oracle and SQL server.
This guide looks like a useful starting point which may help you to decide whether this is a route you want to consider.
Is there a way to get SQL Server 2005 to query 3 or more separate Access databases (each returning 1 record) in one SQL statement?
Yes, but it will require you to create a Linked Server instance for each Access database. See here for details about creating Linked Server instances on SQL Server 2005 to MS Access.
Once you have those in place, you can query SQL Server and it will pass on the queries to the respective Access databases based on using the Linked Server instance notation when specifying tables in your SQL Server queries.
What you want is a Linked Server for each of the Access databases.
Just be aware that in SQL 2005 64-bit you won't be querying current versions of Access or Excel through linked servers any time soon.
Yes, set them up as linked servers using sp_addlinkedserver.
I have a Windows 2008 Server (x64) running Microsoft SQL 2008 (x64) and I'm creating a Linked Server connection to an Oracle server. I'm able to make the connection, but I cannot see any information regarding which schema a table belongs to.
In SQL 2005, my linked servers show the schema information as I would expect.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? Is it an issue with the provider, OraOLEDB.Oracle?
Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
#Boojiboy - When you are looking at the tables via a linked server, there used to be a column for what schema. It appears that in the latest the new Oracle OLEDB drivers don't show this information any longer.
It looks like sp_tables_ex will do the trick, it came from the below article.
--verify tables OK exec sp_tables_ex #table_server = 'LINKED_ORA',
#table_schema='MySchema'
#table_schema is optional. If not
provided, you will get a list of all
tables in all schemas.

Also in the SQL 08 > Server Objects > Providers
make sure your OraOLEDB.Oracle provider is allowing inprocessing
