My company is considering purchasing MS SQL Server to run an
application on (SASIxp). I am mainly familiar with Oracle, so I was
wondering how long it would take to copy a database. Basically we have
database A and each night we want to replace database B with the
contents of A. How long would this take say if we had a 10GB database
or a 20GB database.
What would be the technique to do this nightly, the Copy Database
Wizard, Snapshot Replication, Attach & Detach...? We need to automate
this process, and the source database can be made unavailable when
this happens.
Thanks,
Roger

Well, your maximum speed is limited by hardware. And depending on how you
move things, you may get close to that speed.

Probably the easiest way given you can suffer from downtime is to do a
detach, copy, attach.
In that case you're pretty much limited to hardware speeds.

An alternative is to use BACKUP/RESTORE. In this case, you can have
the databases available all the time.
How long it would take, depends on the hardware, but for a 10-20 GB, the
process would take something like 15-20 minutes on a decent machine. And
since you probably will backup the database anyway, only the restore
time would be extra.
Yet an alternative to consider is to apply transaction logs. Depending
on the transaction frequency, this can be a lot faster.

both of 2 servers are MySQL.
how can I replicate a database to one server from another?
until now I zip the database folder and I extract the zip file in other

But now I haven't permission to do this in Linux, instead I have admin
permision in MySQL.

Hi!
I have perhaps a strange question... I have a javascript that
activates on a right click and shows the user a little menu of links.
However, by doing so, it disables the users ability to use the Copy
Command when doing a normal right click. I know that in some cases
this would be good for someone who wants to make it harder to copy
pictures from their site... but in this case I WANT people to be able
to copy the pictures....

I have an off-the-shelf app that uses an Access database as its
backend. One of the tables contains a field with an "OLE Object"
datatype. I'm writing some reports against this database, and I

datasheet view, all I can see in this field is the string "Long

So, I've got the problem of needing to extract data from this
field, but I don't know what format...

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.
