I have two database named: olddatabase and newdatabase. I want to create a new database named newdatabase2 then copy database structure from newdatabase to newdatabase2 and then convert data from olddatabase to newdatabase2.
To copy database structure from newdatabase to newdatabase2 I use Transfer SQL Server Object Task component in SSIS, and then execute SSIS Package to convert data. But in step 1 I dont now how to create new database named newdatabase2. Currently I create the database manually.
There is a "Transfer Database Task". You can use it to make a copy of newdatabase to newdatabase2:
EDIT:
or you can use the "Copy Database Wizard" once. It will generate an SSIS package and a SQL Server job, then you can re-use it as many times as you want.
EDIT2:
it would't make much sense to open on BIDS because you will only see something like this:
I don't think these packages are meant to be editable.
You can access it, though:

I have a one problem. I have a database(MSSQL) on some server. I need copy this DB on my local DB. But! This DB is huge 7gb. I don't need data from this DB. I need just copy structure of this DB (What I mean about structure - all DB, all tables, connections, etc. (!!!But I don't need a data from this tables)). How I understand it - It will clean DB with the same structure.
I have no idea how implement it. I read what I can do it using PowerShell, Git and SQL manager. But i didn't find example. Could you tell me something about it?
Right click on your Database => Tasks => Generate Scripts
Screenshots shows this on a System Database. Don't do this on system databases.
Select the Tables / Views / Stored Procedures you want.
Change the scripting options depending on your preferences/requirements.
Generate the script
If you use MS SQL Server Management Studio, you can right-click on the tables you want to have in your other db -> Generate Script for -> Create -> and then choose one opion.
Only drawback is, that you have to do that for every table individually.
I have developed a SQL Express database. I need to backup all but one table in that database in an automated way. I was thinking i could write a SQL script to do this, trigger it using sqlcmd from a batch file but not sure how to write that SQL script.
I was also thinking, if nothing else possible, i could create a second db that has the tables i want to backup then i write a script that copys data 'into' the second db and then do a auto backup of that entire db. This has the disadvantage of having a procrastinated unpacking of that backup when wanting to use it - its not a small install script.
Is this a possibility, is it the only option or is there tools for SQL Express to do this?
There is no option to exclude just one table while backing up .Few things i could think of
1.Right click database ->Tasks ->generate scripts ->exclude the table you want and choose to save the script and run this every time
2.you could also choose Export option,but since you are using SQL Express,you wont have the option to save this package
Keep the large table in a different database and just backup the original database. You can still use the large table even in a different database, i.e.
SELECT *
FROM MyDb.dbo.SomeTable s
JOIN OtherDb.dbo.LargeTable l
ON (expression);
I need to export the data from a particular table in my database to Excel files (.xls/.xlsx) that will be located into a shared folder into my network. Now the situation is like this -
I need to use SQL SERVER Agent Jobs.
2.I need to generate a new excel file in every 2 minutes that will contain the refreshed data.
I am using sql server 2008 that doesn't include BI development studio. I'm clueless how to solve this situation. First, I'm not sure how to export the data using jobs because every possible ways I tried had some issues with the OLEDB connection. The 'sp_makewebtask' is also not available in SQL 2008. And I'm also confused how to dynamically generate the names of the files.
Any reference or solution will be helpful.
Follow the steps given below :
1) Make a stored procedure that creates a temporary table and insert records to it.
2) Make a stored procedure that read records from that temporary table and writes to file. You can use this link : clickhere
3) Create an SQL-job that execute step 1 and step 2 sequentially.
I found a better way out. I have created a SSIS(SQL Server Integration Services) package to automate the whole Export to Excel task. Then I deployed that package using SQL Server Agent Jobs. This is a more neat and clean solution as I found.
I Want To Convert Data From OldDatabase To NewDatabase Each Day By SSIS.
for this:
1- Create Script From Exists New DataBase
2- Change DatabaseName OF Generated Script and Then Execute Script To Create NewDatabase2 whit no data.
3- Set SSIS Configuration Parameters.
4- Execute SSIS Package to convert Data.
I Want to do this action by Job.
How I want to do?
your requiremets are not very clear but there are two SSIS tasks that can help you.
If you want to transfer all you can use a "Transfer Database Task"
If you need to specify objects, you can use the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" where you can specify things like if you are dropping the objects first and how to deal with the data:
In "Back UP" I only get a bak file, but I would like to create .sql file
Use SQL Server's Generate Scripts commend
right click on the database; Tasks -> Generate Scripts
select your tables, click Next
click the Advanced button
find Types of data to script - choose Schema and Data.
you can then choose to save to file, or put in new query window.
results in CREATE and INSERT statements for all table data selected in bullet 2.
This is a possible duplicate of: SQL script to get table content as "SELECT * FROM tblname"
To do a full database backup to File/Query you can use the 'Generate Scripts...' option on the Database.
Open SQL Server Management studio, right click on the database and choose 'Tasks->Generate Scripts...'
Then use the wizard to backup the database. You can script the whole database or parts of it. Two important options: In the 'Advanced' section, you will probably want to ensure 'Type of backup = 'Schema and Data' and the 'Script Statistics' is on.
This will produce a *.sql file that you can use as a backup that includes the schema and table data.
Ok, I read through most of these, but I had no "advanced button". But, there is still a way to do it, it's just a little hard to find, so here you go:
You can generate a script from a database, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178078.aspx
If you want to create a script of your database you right-click on the databases and Generate Scripts (it's in different sub-menus depending on what version of SQL and Enterprise Manager / SQL Server Management studio you're using).
That will, however, only get you the database objects. It will not generate scripts for data. Backing up a database will give you all of the database objects as well as the data, depending on what recovery model your database is set to.
This fellow may have achieved what you are trying to do by creating the backup, and then restoring it and giving it a new name.
This approach copies the data along with all of the database objects.
If you want a file with insert statements for your data have a look here:
This procedure generates INSERT statements using existing data from the given tables and views. Later, you can use these INSERT statements to generate the data. It's very useful when you have to ship or package a database application. This procedure also comes in handy when you have to send sample data to your vendor or technical support provider for troubleshooting purposes.
