I would like to export all the data from a database to a new one with SQL Server Manager studio.
I used import and export assistant (taks -> export data) but after the import when I try to save new data
I have insertion error due to identity column error when I try to insert data:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Unable to insert null value in column 'id'
Although I specified to keep identity insert before the export.
I would like to export data in a new database with all the Identities column constraints.
If you want to move all data completely from a database. Task->Export is one Option(since the issue which you face is not clear) you can try other option to take backup(.bak file) and restore it to the new database.
Thank you for your help, the problem wasn't clear.
I actually needed to export an azure database to a SQL server database.
I used another export process : microsoft.github.io/AzureTipsAndTricks/blog/tip140.html and now the exported local database is working

I am trying to convert and migrate an Oracle schema to MSSQL server. At the last step, migrating data, I get the error message:
The table [MYDATABASE].[MYSCHEMA].MYTABLE] doesnot exist in target. You must first convert the table then load it into the database.
This error message appears for each table in my schema.
Can someone explain what is happening and what I need to do to get past this?
Are you tries to migrate the data before doing the ‘synchronize with the database’ operation?
If Yes,
This error message generally occurs when the target table doesn’t
exist on SQL server database. After converting schema, you need to
synchronize the table with the database before migrating the data.
To do this you right click on the SQL Server database in Metadata
explorer and click “Synchronize with database” menu.
Note: Table structure will not be created in the SQL server database until you synchronize.
I need to copy some tables from a SQL Server 2016 instance to a SQL Server 2008 instance like
select *
into [sql8].[DatabaseA].[dbo].[Customers]
from [DatabaseA].[dbo].[Customers]
but I get an error:
Msg 117, Level 15, State 1, Line 9
The object name 'sql8.DatabaseA.dbo.Customers' contains more than the maximum number of prefixes. The maximum is 2.
I have tried generating a script of the data but my machine runs out of memory during SQLCMD execution from the command line.
Looking for recommendations / pointer.
Thanks
I'm guessing you may need to set up the sql8 server as a linked server from the Server holding the DB you're trying to get the data into. In the image I would be trying to get the data into a db on the MJAYWCO1 server. [sql8] would be the server you want to create a link "to". "[sql8].[DatabaseA].[dbo].[Customers]"
To Do this from the ssms GUI goto Server.ServerObjects.LinkedServers:
Another possibility: Have you tried to import it directly to the new DB? Assuming you can connect to the old database from the new database with creds...
If this doesn't work, you can use the Export Data from the DB you are trying to get the data (under Import data in the second Image) from the "old DB" to create an XML or .CSV file, or whatever might be an applicable format. Use this and the Import Wizard from the "new DB"
Please forgive me if I misunderstood the question as English is my first language and I went to government schools.
I'm very familiar with the process of exporting from Azure SQL V12 down to my dev box and then importing to my local sql (2014) instance. I'm spinning up a new Win10 box and have installed the SQL 2016 CTP. I'm connecting to that same Azure instance and can operate against it -- and can export a .bacpac just as with 2014.
But when I try to import to local I'm getting:
Could not import package.
Warning SQL72012: The object [FOO33_Data] exists in the target, but it will not be dropped even though you selected the 'Generate drop statements for objects that are in the target database but that are not in the source' check box.

Text from linked answer:
I suspect what's going wrong here is that the export operation was performed using a DB instance that was changing while the export was on-going. This can cause the exported table data to be inconsistent because, unlike SQL Server's physical backup/restore, exports do not guarantee transactional consistency. Instead, they're essentially performed by connecting to each table in the database in turn and running select *. When a foreign key relationship exists between two tables and the read table data is inconsistent, it results in an error during import after the data is written to the database and the import code attempts to re-enable the foreign key. We suggest using the database copy mechanism (create database copyDb as copy of originalDb), which guarantees a copy with transactional consistency, and then exporting from the non-changing database copy.
I am using sql server 2008.i have one ABC database on A server(source).now i want to copy all the schema and data of this database to my new database XYZ on B server(destination).for this i am using sql server import wizard.
now the scenario is:
In ABC database,many tables have identity columns as primary key.when i use import wizard, i set "Enable identity insert" to True(checked).
but import process completes,i found that destination tables are created but primary keys are not set for tables and also identity is also not set.
It just copies the data,not the Primary keys or identity fields.
How to make it possible to work for "identity insertion" for all tables
Pls help.thanks in advance.
If you want to copy entire database better try Copy Database wizard, not Import/Export. This feature just copies data. Enable identity insert just tells the wizard to use SET IDENTITY_INSERT ON/OFF commands when inserting data to columns with IDENTITY - it doesn't set the IDENTITY parameter of the column.
try using these

I am very new to Db2 and also VBA to an extent. Could somebody help me out with below request.
I request somebody to help me with a sample code.... Say I have a table in db2...
Name and Employee Id
Now I have the details in Excel.... Say in sheet1.. Column A is Name and Column B is Emp ID
I require a code with which I can make a connection to my database and push the data to my tables in db2....(Probably with some explanation like code breakdown # important palces)
Please help me with this request.. Thousand thanks in advance....
I have done this before without any code using a simple process:
Create a new database in Microsoft Access.
Import the Excel spreadsheet into a new table in the new Access database.
Set up an ODBC datasource that points to the DB2 database you want to import into.
Use the ODBC connection from Access to export the table into DB2.
