I would like to know if it possible define the names of
J$tables & views
.
Currently in my source database, we have 2 tables with same name in different schema
(complaints.action_item & change.action_item).
The CDC objects like J$ views, tables and triggers are maintained in a common work schema (CDC_WORK).
So I'm not able to create
J$tables and T$ triggers for CDC using ODI as there is name conflict.
Is it possible to specify the CDC object names somewhere in ODI so that I could enable CDC on both tables.

I would to copy a SQL Server 2012 database from one server to another with the least amount of manual work and without doing a restore or attach database because I don't have access to the source server or backup files.
I would like to have a copy of all the objects and data. This includes tables with primary (including identity designation) and foreign keys, views, stored procedures, constraints and triggers.
If I use SSMS, I have to use a combination of data imports and scripting the objects. One issue with this is that I have many tables and manually enabling identity inserts is a hassle. Maybe one way is to use a diff tool to do all this work for me if possible or find a way to script the identity properties across the tables.
Is there a simpler more straightforward way to copy a database?
Replication. There are different types. Transactional will keep your copy updated with any changes. Snapshot will not, etc.
Without access to the server, I am not sure what you can do at all?
I've recently had to do some work on an Oracle database. I come from a MS SQL background. I am still trying to get my head around some basic definitions in Oracle
Schema - to me this just meant the structure of the database. Which includes the structure of the tables, indexes and any constrains. This does NOT include any data that is stored in the tables. A database would only contain one Schema and one set of data.
But in Oracle it seems like a Schema is defined as the structure and the data. And a database can hold many Schemas.
Is that accurate?
Regardless of the database engine, it isn't uncommon to talk about your data model as your "schema". That's not necessarily how any relational database engine defines the term but it may be perfectly clear from the context that you're talking only about the definitions of objects and not the actual data.
In both SQL Server and Oracle, a "schema" is a way of collecting together a bunch of related objects, code, and data. If you define a schema in SQL Server and create a table foo in that schema along with a usp_setFoo procedure, the data that is in foo would be part of that schema. In the same way, an Oracle schema would generally involve table and index definitions, data, code, etc.
Technically, in Oracle, a schema is defined as the set of objects owned by a particular user. Practically, an Oracle schema is generally roughly analogous to a SQL Server "database". Oracle normally has two levels of object naming (schema.object) rather than three levels in SQL Server (database.schema.object). If you're using the enterprise edition of Oracle 12.1 with pluggable databases, that changes things a bit and an Oracle pluggable database can be similar to a SQL Server database.
I connected a sql server through ODBC and lined sql tables. I manually created my relationships in my database but, when I do that, my other tables are not editable. My drop downs I created won't allow me to select it or my text box doesn't let me type in it.
How am I supposed to create a relationship so I can use Access as a front-end to enter in data into the database?
If you are linking to tables that exist already in SQL Server, then you don't need to worry about creating relationships in Access.
If you want to edit data in the SQL Server tables, make sure that you have a primary key on each table, and if possible a field with at "timestamp" data type.
Is it possible to have same table name on different schema with different data on the tables within the one database? I think rather than create multiple database (that hold same table name) i should create multiple schema instead.
Something like:
Schema 1:
table A, table B
Schema 2:
table B, table X
PS: table B hold different data for each schema
And most basic question did every schema (user) hold different table set? In SQL Server and MySQL every user on same database have same table set, the difference was only on roles, how about Oracle?
Thanks
Yes this is possible. A schema in Oracle is what a MySQL user would call a database.
However, you need to be careful when accessing either of the tables now if the user you connect with to the database instance has access to both. To unambiguously reference a table in a specific schema, use schema.table.
Here's the documentation on namespaces: https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/20/sqlrf/Database-Object-Names-and-Qualifiers.html#GUID-3C59E44A-5140-4BCA-B9E1-3039C8050C49
As jackrabbit says objects in different schemas have different namespaces.
Each schema in the database has its own namespaces for the objects it contains. This means, for example, that two tables in different schemas are in different namespaces and can have the same name.
Within a schema things are a little more complex.
Because tables and views are in the same namespace, a table and a view in the same schema cannot have the same name. However, tables and indexes are in different namespaces. Therefore, a table and an index in the same schema can have the same name.
I have a database schema in SQL 2005 that I want to copy to a SQL 2000 server. It contains tables that have multiple owners. When I try to create a DTS package to transfer the schema I get conflicts because some of the tables have the same name (but different owners). It looks like it is trying to make all the tables to be owned by dbo.
Is there a way to preserve the ownership on the destination server?
It seems like there is no way to do this via DTS so I ended up scripting the database and recreating it from that script.
