Hi everyone,
I don't have a lot of experience in database management, but I'm trying to replicate a database that is currently being used on a live website. I'd like to replicate it so that our development website pulls from that copied database, instead of the one we use to make a living.
I tried importing the old database into a new one using the 'DTS Import/Export' wizard, but unfortunately, it did not copy the thing exactly. Using the wizard on two different test databases, these are the results I got:
1) The new database had more tables and few stored procedures.
2) The new database had fewer tables and fewer stored procedures.
I used the 'Copy tables and views from source database' option in the dialog.
Obviously, I need an exact copy of this database at the time of the replication. No extra or missing tables. Can anyone provide some insight?
Thanks! :)

1. (Full) Backup your "production " database into a file.
2. Restore that backup INTO A DIFFERENT DATABASE NAME or A DIFFERENT SERVER.
Make sure you don't overwrite the existing production.

Thanks for the help, I was thinking that might be a good path to follow, but the whole restore process kinda scared me...for the reasons you mentioned in your post. :)
I'm actually running into another problem now that the hard drive the databases are on doesn't have enough room to allow a restore. There is an empty hard drive that I've pointed the Data/Log directories too, but for some reason, when I go to restore, it still tells me there is not enough room on the drive. Shouldn't directing the Data and Log directories to the empty hard drive take care of this issue?
Thanks again.

Hi.
I am wondering if it is a good idea to replicate sql server db files
using frs.
I don't really know how the frs works, so
does frs replicates the whole database from time to time or just the
portion that is changed?
Also if the db is expected to change very often, and wouldn't it make

I am trying to replicate the functionality of the HTML FileField control. I can use it just fine to prompt a user to browse to a file, and it retrieves the full path just fine.

I have 2 locations, that each has an MSSQL 2000 server.
Since the locations are to far from each other and the connection is

My thought was to have a database on both servers that should replicate
“on the fly” or as asynchronous sync.
The problem is that both locations work in the database frequently. So

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
