I normally live in a MySQL world where I can use the
SHOW CREATE TABLE <tablename>
syntax to get the create script of a given table.
I'm working with a legacy SQL Server CE 3.5 database and need to get the create script for all of the tables so I can move them into another database which will be created by my application.
Is there any equivalent to the MySQL functionality that would allow me to do this?
YOu can use my free tool to to script object creation and data statements from a SQL Compact database - http://sqlcetoolbox.codeplex.com

I'm using the MS Data Migration Assistant tool to move a SQL Server 2016 DB to Azure. I'm getting the following error on 80+ stored procedures:
Queries or references using three- or four-part names not supported in Azure SQL Database. Three-part name format, [database_name].[schema_name].[object_name], is supported only when the database_name is the current database or the database_name is tempdb and the object_name starts with #.
All of these stored procedures are using the current database and referencing the current database name. For example, this instruction is causing the error:
DELETE FROM [STDR].[dbo].[report] WHERE [report_id] = #xid
and when I run the command:
SELECT DB_NAME();
I get:
STDR
Could this be an error in the DMA tool? It's preventing me from executing the migration. I'd rather not have to modify all of these procedures. Thanks.
1.Queries or references using three- or four-part names not supported in Azure SQL Database.
It's not the error in the DMA tool. Cross database queries using three or four part names is not supported in Azure SQL Server.
You can read more in the official documentation:Resolving Transact-SQL differences during migration to SQL Database。
2.Three-part name format, [database_name].[schema_name].[object_name], is supported only when the database_name is the current database or the database_name is tempdb and the object_name starts with #.
About this question, I have an idea and I think you can try it. You can specify target Azure Database instance which has the same database name and the same schema objects with your on-premises SQL Server. Otherwise, when your SQL Server 2016 DB is migrated to Azure, the current database is not [STDR] and cause the error.
Reference: Migrate on-premises SQL Server or SQL Server on Azure VMs to Azure SQL Database using the Data Migration Assistant.
Hope this helps.
It's just the four-part name or three-part name that is not compatible with Azure SQL Database. You can script all your programing objects and then change the three part name format to two-part name format (dbo.[NameOfTheObjet]) on the script using Find and Replace on a text editor like Notepad++, then run that script on your Azure SQL Database to migrate your programming objects.
After that you can use DMA only to migrate the schema and data of your tables.
I am looking for a way to setup a scheduled update from a linked server I created to a local db, I am not familiar with triggers but from what I've read you have to set them up on the originating server, and I only have read access to the mysql Database. Basically all that I am trying to do is make a local copy of two tables from the mysql db. I can manually do so with select into statements, but I would like to have some automation if possible. Any thoughts on how to achieve this? Also I am using SQL server 2008 R2. Thanks!
You have several options to do:
Copy all data from the source table (do not use this if the source table is big)
If you have a column in the source table which can be used to determine which records should be copied, use that (this is mostly an auto updated timestamp column in MySQL)
Set up a trigger to track modifications
To copy, you can set up a Linked Server or you can use SSIS
To use a linked server you can use OPENQUERY()
You can schedule your task with SQL Server Agent
How to use a script file generated from SQL Server 2005 and create the same table in SQL Server 2012?
Plus I have a script file for each table, how could I combine them all to generate my database?
Just create a database on SQL Server 2012 and run each create object script.
If some error or warning arises you can work it by demand.
note the tables got dependencies, so it's a good idea to create that tables in the right order.
You also can create the tables and put a no check in the FKs creation snipets and switch all FKs to check once all tables ar in place.
Also it's good to create all tables before creating the views, etc.
I need to create sql database just like other sql database (without the data) via sql script
some one told me that Oracle has this ability by some code like
create database <your new DB name> as <the old DB name>
so is there a similar statement or workaround in SQL
I use MS-SQL Server 2008/2008R2
I don't want the 'generate scrip' solution as this provide a very long script, I just need the Oracle statement (mentioned above) but in SQL
to be more clear I need the tables structure only (no data) and need all other objects such as functions, views etc...
Please advice,
In SQL Server, you can right click on the database then select "Tasks" then "Generate Scripts" and you can build one script for all your object sans data.
If you are asking about SQL Server (at least in 2005 or newer, not sure about previous versions) if you right click on a Database in SQL Server Management Studio Go To Tasks and then Generate Scripts you have the option to Generate a script to create all the object ins the Database w/o Data.
Update:
You can also right click on a User Database and select Script Database as -> Create To just to get the TSQL to create the DB itself without any of the tables, stored procedure etc.
Hey folks, the person I am buildling a website for decided to design their own database. They used Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to build it and such. Now that they are done with the database they exported it to a text file (Tasks -> Generate Scripts). Now when I try to import the file into phpmyadmin I get the following error:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '[master] GO /****** Object: Database [Butterbakers] Script Date: 02/15/201' at line 1
The database code is here: http://zamn.pastebin.com/Y3u7MpZ9
phpmyadmin is for MySQL.
Microsoft SQL Server is a different DBMS.
Large parts of the SQL Syntax is DBMS/vendor specific.
The MySQL Workbench has a feature to "Create EER Model from existing Database".
This may be a try but you need a jdbc connection to the MS SQL Server and MySQL...
Converting DDL to a different DBMS is all but easy. And if you're done this doesn't guarantee that an probably already existing application is still working with the other DBMS.
Not switching DBMS and using the free MS SQL Express could be an option.
First decide for a DBMS and restart form zero is surely the cleanest and less painful solution.
With SQL Compare (http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-compare/) and SQL Data Compare (http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-data-compare/) , you can synchronize different DB.
