Master database backend (20 offices) Please help!

I have a dilemma. I have 20 branch offices that need to be able to
upload their unique copy of all their backend tables to a master
database at a corporate office. I really need only a copy of those new
records, deleted records , or changed records (but I guess exporting
all the data would not be a problem, not very big tables). Can I write
a query that updates the master database tables at corporate and have
that query launched on demand or using AutoExec when they open the
client frontends at the branches? The resulting corporate master
backend would have data currrent to whenever the various updates occur.
My only other thought is to have what at most will be 30 concurrnet
users accessing not "child" database backends, but the actual master
backend. The way I would in both cases have each branch see only their
data would be a branch identifying field which would, by query on this
field, load their unique data.....

Any pointers would help... Thanks Dave

Yes, you do.

How would you send the data? Over a WAN where Corporate could connect
to the database or via an email?

Can I write
a query that updates the master database tables at corporate and have
that query launched on demand or using AutoExec when they open the

What is your delivery/update method/medium?

There is replication. You might want to read up on it, see if that
would work.

Does corporate really need all of the detail, the nuts and bolts inside
each mdb or could it subsist on consolidated detail passed to it for
reports? I would think branches take care of detail, corporate takes
care of the overall picture...summa rized data.

But I have full system backup of volume c on tape (using NTBackup), which includes old version of Master database. My questions are: 1. How can I recover this file into SQL server? 2. If so, it is not risky to...

I installed SQL Server, created a database for a sql server user and noticed that the user has access to the master database even though the checkbox for master database for the user login is not checked.

Hi, We have a situation where we want to move our current database server to a different hardware and rename the server. If we change the Physical server name, do we have to go thru the whole process of changing it in sql server by running sp_dropserver, sp_addserver? Can we have an alias for the server name in DNS and can sql server resolve the server name internally by going thru DNS? For eg: Our current database server name is...
