Do some research into "replication" this may meet your needs or you can script the data transfer. There is no simple way to "merge" 2 databases. You may also look into Data Compare from Red Gate but I don't think that is going to be the tool.

What database server are you using?

|
|

You can also user the SQL import Export wizard to transfer the data from one database to other database either table wise of bulk

Yeah that's me, I have sql server express installed on my local machine so I can test stuff without polluting the development server. So I have not needed it for ages, not trying anything new on a database level recently.
Well now I want to create a test database and I mislaid the blasted sa password and I don't have enough rights on the dammed thing. Apparently the only was is to re install the database Gggrrrr

You need dbo permission on the Master database (I think) to be able to create a database. Do some research on what permissions are available in SQL server it will be very enlightening.

Hi All,
Can someone enlighten me as to why you would need a default value of 0 on a tinyint field.
I'm not even sure if you do need to set it on all tinyint fields but I was told this by our previous DBA.
If the field "Allows Nulls", can it by default be left null without causing any problems?
Thanks,
JammoD

The same reason you'd want (need?) a default on any field - to save space.
You see, by making a field nullable it requires 1 extra byte of info per field per record to determine if the field is null.
|
|
|
|
|
I don't see saving 1 extra byte per field a relevant issue. I suspect it is an internal convention, default to 0 and the dba/developers/coder/us lazy bastards do not need to test for null values.

If both of the following are true then it could be relevant.
1. High volume system.
2. Many columns of this type. (Really high volumes even a couple might be relevant.)
However since the vast majority of systems will never have both of these it isn't going to be relevant.

And maybe a bit stupid too since zero and null are not necessarily the same thing.

The is always a debating point, do we allow null to represent a value in a numeric field?
As I'm a lazy sod I disallow null in numeric field as my default position and until the business can convince me otherwise that is the way it is designed.

Can some one explain to me what a Staging area is ?
And I also want to know whether it is a database, a file, or something else altogether..?
|
|
|
|

Here are some answers: What is a staging area? Do we need it? What is the purpose of a staging area?[^].
Right now I'm using staging tables to temporarily store data imported from an outside source before pushing it to production so that it can be verified in isolation and altered as required.

So you are using a staging area which is in between development and production phases. You said this staging area was a set of temporary tables. Can it be a whole separate database by itself? And if it is a database how do we make it temporary(as in what is its scope)?
And whatever operations you do on the staging area do you write the code for it or generate it using code generators?
PS: Don't mind the long question?

No, I said the data was temporarily stored: the tables are a permanent fixture and are used to transition that data before it gets exposed in the production tables. For my purposes it's okay for the tables to reside in the prod database but that might not suit you. There is no reason it can't be a wholly separate database: that's up to you and the requirements.
All of the code is either in stored procedures and/or c#. The usual scenario is that the tables are truncated and (in my case) filtered data is dumped into them and then other processes may work on them and then the data is moved to the primary tables.
Note that this is just how our solution works for us: it may not be right for you. Use anything like this with extreme caution, especially near production data.

Aha that gives a lot of clarity....So these staging tables ...are they exact replica of production tables or do we have to follow some separate design principles to create them?
