Test Db as subset of big production DB
Hello, I need to create a test DB from a large production DB (over 2TB). I am looking for a way to get a random spread of records from the tables of production DB to use in test (less than 1TB). I am considering BCP, some sort of select into (two separate servers with access to/from). Trying to find the method with the least impact on production. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, rick_806

From those values, generate a series of select statements select top <n> * from table where <primarykey> > <value> <n> would be sized by how much data you wanted. You could create a proxy table on the test box that maps to the real table and do the series of "insert <localtesttable> select top <n> * from <proxytable> where <primarykey> > <value>" as an easy way to move the data across. Another approach would be to come up with some kind of hashing/filter function, build a view based on that, and bcp out of the view. For instance, to bcp out about 1/3rd of the values from prod table, assuming a numeric primary key and even distribution of primary key values create view bcpoutview as select * from productiontable where primarykey % 3 = 1 go

membership DB, profile DB, and role DB
I use the following code to programatically cycle through each record in an mdb database and create users with the Membership.CreateUser method.

COPYING TABLES FROM TEST DB TO LIVE DB
Hi ya all, I had a really quick question. I have created a new table using Sybase Central and have populated it using INSERT statements via ISQL. Everything works beautifully! I originally created this table in our TEST DB. Is there an easy way for me to export or transport it to our LIVE DB without rebuilding the table in LIVE and repopulating the table in LIVE via the INSERT statements? I guess what I'm trying to ask is that once a table has been created in a TEST DB is there some fancy export command which will copy its data type, columns, and values to the LIVE DB? Could you ge...
How to Update a DB Test to Real DB in term of Design
Hi all, I got a problem, i'd like to update my DB in production in terme of design and data from the DB test. In other words, I added many tables to my design. Therefore, i'd have to update the real DB on the server. Is there a way to do so with MSSQL? without doing it manually. Thanks, The easiest way would be to do a backup on the dev server and a restore on the production server. Failing that, Red Gate (www.redgate.com) has a number of tools that make synchronizing data and code lots easier.Starting with ASP.NET 2.0? Look at:Programming Microsoft Web Forms My...
