SQL 2000 DTS

  • I’ve created a production scenario by restoring the prod_database backup to a different server. I have named the restore “Test_DB.” I have copied all the logins and passwords to the new server and now I’m trying to create a DTS process to copy two tables from the “Test_DB” to a newly created Doc_DB on the same server. Essentially,  I’m trying to separate my documents tables from Test_DB and place them in a separate database called Doc_DB. The steps that I am taking are as follows: I open the databases, right click on Test_DB, choose all tasks and export data. I then choose the server name and database(test_db) that I want to export data from using sql authentication.  I do the same to choose my destination db(doc_db). I then choose to copy objects and data between sql server databases. I uncheck copy all objects as well as use default options, and choose only the tables that I want to copy and I uncheck the top 3 security checkboxes in the default options. I in turn get this…

     

    Error: Failed to copy objecs from Microsoft SQL Server to Microsoft SQL Server.

    [SQL – DMO]The Bulk Copy execution failed.

     

    I have been able to successfully copy the tables themselves without their objects etc. But now that I’m trying to copy all of the objects as well, it barfs. Any Ideas?

  • I wasn't able to replicate your error.

    What I normally do is to generate scripts on the source database, then run those scripts on the destination.  Then I just do a regular copy tables and views to move the data over.

  • That is exactly what I'm doing now...but I was just trying to understand why I was receiveing the error doing it the other way? Who Knows?
