I am using Intellij 14.1.4. I am able to run SQLs by custom defined db data sources in database console.
I have some sql files in my project and would like to execute them directly instead of copying them to the database console. However, I am not able to use the same data sources that I created for the console when setting up connections from the DB Connections drop down.
I wonder how to run SQL statements from sql files with the same data sources as the ones I defined in the db console?
Thanks
You can right-click on an sql file in the editor and there is an option "Run myfile.sql"
To run SQL statements from sql files You must associate with file type

I have exported database from Oracle SQL developer tool into .sql file. Now I want to run this file which is of size 500+ MB.
I read about running scripts here, but I didn't understand the way. Is there any command or query by which we can run this sql script by providing path?
You could execute the .sql file as a script in the SQL Developer worksheet. Either use the Run Script icon, or simply press F5.
For example,
#path\script.sql;
Remember, you need to put # as shown above.
But, if you have exported the database using database export utility of SQL Developer, then you should use the Import utility. Follow the steps mentioned here Importing and Exporting using the Oracle SQL Developer 3.0
You need to Open the SQL Developer first and then click on File option and browse to the location where your .sql is placed. Once you are at the location where file is placed double click on it, this will get the file open in SQL Developer. Now select all of the content of file (CTRL + A) and press F9 key. Just make sure there is a commit statement at the end of the .sql script so that the changes are persisted in the database
You can use Load function
Load TableName fullfilepath;
I need to export the db including all the tables from SQL Server and then to import it to another computer with SQL Server.
I tried to do:
tasks-> generate scripts
But when I tried to import this db
by attach he doesn't recognize this file.
how should i do it correctly?
we did our project on my friend computer but i want to get it for myself to...
What you tried is to generate the scripts in order to create the database structure (if you want to use these scripts you need to execute them from SQL Management Studio on your other computer). That's a good solution if you only want to create the database structure on another computer.
If you want to restore the database on another computer with all the structure and data of your database, right-click on your database from SQL Management Studio -> Tasks -> Back Up.
After creating a backup of your database you simply need to copy the generated file to another computer and proceed the restore process.
Here is a link that explains the entire process: Create a Full Database Backup
Hope this will help you.
You can use Backup\Restore technique to make exact copy of your database, But like you said, you only want your tables to be transferred so you can use 'SQL Server Import Export Wizard' for the same.
Right Click on db -> tasks -> Export data
Using above option you can store all data into a flat file also and take that flat file to destination and import the same.
I can Generate Create Scripts of my database in MS Sql Server Management Studio. But I need to move the database to a shared server with all the data in it.
Since I don't have full admin rights, I can not backup/restore .bak files or attach there. Is there any way to generate "Insert" queries which insert all of the data when I run them after create queries.
Yes. Here's how to do it:
Open up SSMS
Right-click on your database
Tasks -> Generate Scripts...
Choose the objects you want to script out (it sounds like you want the whole DB)
Under Set Scripting Options click the Advanced button
For the item Types of data to script, select Schema and data
Is it possible to restore a backup of a SQL Server 2008 database onto an instance of SQL Server 2005?
I need to work on an sample application for which database backup is in sql server 2008.
But I'll not be able to install 2008. So is it possible to restore that back up in 2005?
No. It is not possible to restore a database from a backup of a newer version.
If you are dead set on it, I think your best option is to selet the database in the Object Explorer in SQL 2008,
right-click, select Tasks->Generate Scripts.In the options dialog emable about everything, including Script Data.
And make sure you select "Script for SQL 2005".

When importing the objects into your target server, if the objects are large you may find that you can't open the SQL file via Management Studio (with a completely useless "The operation could not be completed" error, no less). That's okay, just load the file via sqlcmd.
One important thing is missing in all answers and that is the fact that Generate Scripts in SSMS doesn’t order the scripts correctly.
Scripts have to be ordered in the correct dependency order so that child tables are created after parent tables and such.
This is not an issue for small databases where its easy to reorder the scripts manually but it can be a huge issue when dealing with databases that have 100+ objects.
My experience is that its most convenient to use third party tools that can read backup and generate scripts in the correct order. I’m using ApexSQL Diff and Data Diff from ApexSQL but you can’t go wrong with any popular vendor.
No, not directly. SQL Server 2008 database backups are not backward compatible with SQL Server 2005. However, with SQL Server 2008 Management Studio, you can script data and schemas in SQL Server 2005 mode. This article describes the process in detail.
Yes it is possible
Using the export in the SQL Server 2008. Go to All Programs --> Microsoft SQL Server 2008 --> Import and Export Data
Then SQL Server Import AND Export Wizard window will be opened. Press Next
Choose a Data source (in your case from SQL Server 2008). Choose a Destination( in your case from SQL Server 2005).
Select Copy data from one or more tables or view
Select the source's tables and destination's tables
Click Next & Finish
to complete.
I have had this problem for a long while.
You cannot restore SQL2008 backups onto an SQL2005 instance.
And for me, workarounds like import/export wizzard or to script the database from SQL2008 using the generate scripts with the for SQL2005 option won't work.
Because simply, my databases cross-reference each other inside their views and stored procedures or udfs. They do not befall to my responsibility completely and so I cannot consolidate them into 1 database.
They are a set of 6 dbs that refer to each other directly inside their views and stored procedures.
When I transfer them from one SQL2005 instance onto another, I usually do full-backup/restore.
If I were to script them, even with the with dependencies option I would get errors at re-creation time as db1 will not find views inside db3 because it so happened that I executed the create db1 script first. If I tried db3 first I get similar exceptions.
The only way to script them so that I won't have such dependency exceptions, is to figure out a sequence that works and script them partially in that manner: say: db1_tables followed by db2_tables followed by db2_views followed by db1_views, sp, udfs etc.
I have such a sequence. And when I need to create a new set of such 6 dbs, I executed the smaller partial scripts in sequence.
This explains why the generate scripts, with dependencies and with data and set to SQL2005 version scripts, will just not work for me.
The import/export wizzard is better in my case because it will copy tables and then you still have to script all views, sp, udfs etc.
What I really need is a conversion tool for SQL2008 backup files, to convert them to SQL2005 format. Then my problem will go away.
Or some kind of a tool that would allow restore from SQL2008 full-backup files, without asking me too many questions.
If anyone knows such tools and have used them, let me know.
You can use DBSave, it's a great freeware tool to backup and restore ms sql server on different machines.
It's verry simple to setup and to use.
No you can't, but tools like red gate's SQL Compare/Data Compare can read backup files directly & transfer the info across to a live database, dealing with any syntax or settings that aren't compatible on SS2005
Having had no luck with the Import/Export stuff (flat file exports failed on import claiming charset mapping issues [even though same charset used throughout] and/or truncation issues [even though source and destination had exact same structure]), and having had no luck with using the "generate scripts" option suggested by Garry Shutler (it generated a script with syntax errors), I was finally able to copy the big table I wanted to copy from 2008 to 2005 using the SQL Server bcp utility. So that's another option for this situation, although for an entire database it would be table-by-table and probably doesn't help with views and such.
The steps I used:
On the source server, use "Script Table As...CREATE" to get the structure, run that on the target server.
On the target server, create a bcp format file using your newly-created table:
bcp database.owner.table format nul -f table.fmt -n
(If you're not using Windows auth, you may need the -U and -P options to specify username and password.)
Copy that format file to the source server (if necessary).
Export the data to file on the source server:
bcp database.owner.table out table.dat -f table.fmt
(Again, possibly with -U and -P.)
Copy the data file to the target server (if necessary).
Import the data on the target server:
bcp database.owner.table in table.dat -f table.fmt
(Again, possibly with -U and -P.)
In hopes that proves useful to someone else.
