This sounds weird and not very good.
Do you want all 3 servers to reflect the changes made in 1?
There is not way that I know of to do this 'on the fly', you can use something like Red-Gate SQL Compare and data compare to synchronise the structure but this is a seperate operation, it generates a script that could be run on each server.
Backup/Restore will include the data (obviously)

I have Developer Edition of SQL Server.
What actually will happen is 2 data entry operators will enter datas from 2 pcs and the changes should be made in the database reside in my Server PC. It doesn't matter for me if those 2 pcs are having SQL Server installed.
My main concern if DML/DDL from 2 pc should affect Server PC.

Sorry I didn't get you mate.
All PCs have Developer Edition [DE]. And application are made by me and my friends.
Suppose when I open SQL Server 2005 and Run the Insert Query on a table then that insert should ALSO reflect in SERVER. We don't care if that Data will store in Client side too.

Because this is such a broad issue I have posted a link to a resource that might help you out. Replication[^]

Thanks.. Sorry to say from my above post regarding this
Suppose when I open SQL Server 2005 and Run the Insert Query on a table then that insert should ALSO reflect in SERVER. We don't care if that Data will store in Client side too
This will provide inconsistency if 1 client is used to re-enter the data already entered by other client.
So I think, continuous Synchronization should be there between databases as soon as any DDL/DML operation will done. How to achieve this ?

It's obvious you think you know the answer already. Let us know how that works for you.

I think your issues may be that you are using SQL Server as a client type tool. Normal design is a database server (sql server) and a client tool (winforms or web form). The client tool resides on the PCs and connect to the server.
You seem to have 3 servers and the are using servers as clients. Thats why you are having trouble getting a sensible response. Nobody in their right minds would build such a solution. Go back to start and design your solution properly, build the client in C#/VB and have them connect to the server.

Hello, I am creating a desktop database application with C# and MS SQL SERVER 2008 EXPRESS,
and I have a few Q's about it.
Let's suppose we have the table customers, with structure like this:
Customers:
|ID|Nmae |SecondName | Adres |ShipID|Promoted |
------------------------------------------------------
|1 |John |axxx | ytutyt | 5 | false |
|2 |Adam |bxxx | qwefsd 18 | 23 | false |
|3 |Eddie |cxxx | fsdfssf 7 | 28 | true |
|4 |Eddie |dxxx | fsadsdf 42| 14 | true |
|5 |Mark |exxx | hdgdssf 2 | 33 | true |
|6 |Mathew|fxxx | xcvxzx 75 | 45 | false |
I am new in the Database programming, but knowing the goal of my application,
I suppose in the future I will experience at least 2 kinds of problems:
1) I guess every month I will have even 100 000 new records but there are necessary
only for two months. After that time I would like to move the unncessessarty records
somewhere else than in the customers table in order to avoid performance loss, but
I'd like to have access to them on demand.
Whats the best way to do it? To create other table with schema like Customers,
and every two months move data from Customers to that new table,
so that customers will always contain data maximally 2 months old?
2) I would like a new logical table PromotedCustomers containing
every record from Customers that has "Promoted" value set to true. What is essential here,
is that I would like searching in this new table faster than searching in Cusotmers table.
For example, supposing I have Customers table like above:
SELECT Name FROM Customers WHERE Promoted = true AND Name = Eddie
returns 2 records, but has to search 6 rewcords (whole Customers table)
If I had PromotedCustomers table the way I want, I could write:
SELECT Name FROM PromotedCustomers WHERE Name = Eddie
It also returns 2 records, query is a little bit shorter, but whats most important for me:
ONLY 3 RECORDS HAS TO BE SEARCHED, and performance is important in my app.
Is it possible to create such a table?
Thanx for any help

I think your data design may be flawed (I don't know your business so I cannot be more definite), the ShipID on your customer table makes me suspicious that you are creating a new customer per order. You should have at least 3 tables to support an order processing system. Customer, Order and OrderLines. 100k customers per month also makes me suspicious of your structure.
100k records per month is not a large volume (for SQL Server, I don't use express) and I would look to archiving annually rather than monthly. Then I'd use an OLAP cube to retain reporting infrastructure.
Promoted is a flag/attribute of the Customer table, not a separate table. Remember every field does not need to be filled in the table. I would make the promoted field a date field giving you the option of making time based queries.

Hello,
i have a little problem. I have a table "customers" and a table "partnerships". In the customer database i have stored a few customer with a ID as primary key. In my partnership database i have two columns (partner1, partner2) where i want to store partnerships between them. So now the problem, it should be unnessecary if partner1=1 and partner2=2 or partner1=2 and partner2=1. And one partnership shouldn't be stored two times. So how can i realize this? In my selects it is easy, i easily have:
select * from partnerships where (partner1='1' and partner2='2') or (partner1='2' and partner2='1')
But how to make the right constraints, that this isn't saved to times, so i don't want to have something like this:
partner1 partner2
1 2
2 1
Maybe someone has a solution for me?

I cant see a simple way to do this using relationships, you could set up a complex structure that concatenates the IDs in order of size and faff about with that but it would be ugly as sin. I'd just have a proc that checked for existence before inserting.
OR make it a convention that the highest is always Parent 1, this does not help with constraints though it would simplify your query.

hi
I want to restore mdf file in my sqlserver database. i am using:
EXEC sp_attach_single_file_db @dbname = 'testerDB',
@physname = 'F:\DB.mdf'
to restore that mdf file
but it gives the error:
ERROR: ERROR: Unable to open the physical file "F:\DB.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".
I am working with SQL Server 2005 express edition
and Os is Vista Ultimate.
Please Help
Thanks in advance

There are about 1.2^10 reasons why this would occur and none of them have anyting to with your OS being Vista.

Ok, smarty pants, see Eddy's post to understand why your problem had absolutely nothing to do with the OS you are using.

A file that ends in ".mdf" is a database, not a backup. You can restore backups (*.bak), but not the "*.mdf".
You can, however, attach the database to your local server by right-clicking on the "databases"-node and choosing "attach" from the SQL Server Management Studio.
Good luck with your venture

hello i want to make a project which is a web site for hospital
when a user log in to the web site he/she must can know some info about the hospital such as : doctors , beds empty ...
dotor in this hospital also must they know every thing about their patiant when they log in
please help me quickly with the er diagram so i can start my projec.
|
|
|
|
|
Can you tell us which hospital it is, so we can avoid it
If you have no idea about even doing the er diagram what chance have you when it comes to coding.
Anyway, sounds like a piece of coursework, so do it yourself and actually EARN your pass.

Hello guys,
I would like to create a log of what is happening in my database. What i exactly mean is that i need to log every update, insert and delete statement that executes in my database. for example when a delete happens i want to keep the values that have been delete, when an update happens i want to keep the old values and the new ones etc.
Another important thing is that i want to achieve this without the use of triggers is possible.
How can this be done?

Can't see an alternative to triggers myself. How else do you effectively capture the insert/update/delete events.
