Is it possible to rsync the official databases?

It seems unnecessary that every time the database is updated, all of the database files get overwritten with new ones from the tarball. Aside from unnecessary IO, doesn't it increase the overall bandwidth cost for the servers? Even uncompressed, I would expect the amount of data that would need to be transferred per average sync interval to be less than the entire database.
Is there any way to implement an rsync-based system like ABS uses to sync the ABS tree?  Is there any glaringly obvious reason why this is a bad idea (tbh I haven't given it very much thought).
If not, is there any other way to access the official databases in uncompressed format? (ftp/http/svn/etc)

Thanks Allan (I somehow missed your reply despite having subscribed to this thread).
I ended up using the compressed db.tar.gz files to do what I wanted (for rebase).

  • Is it possible to copy the same database multiple times simultaneously?

    This is the setup of my environment.
    I have a 'master' database that contains the full schema plus some pre-populated data such as default settings. When database schema changes are made, they get made to the master database. When a new customer signs up for the service, I make a copy of this
    master database (using SMO) that will now be the database containing all of the customer's information. The database is rather large, and the copy operation can take a couple minutes.
    Everything works fine as expected, unless I try to provision two new customers at the same time. It appears that Azure only allows for one DB copy operation at a time. Is there a way to allow for copying the same database multiple times simultaneously?
    Thanks for you input. I understand that this is likely not the optimal setup, and that there is many better ways of doing this, but I am somewhat heavily invested in the current process and I would like to find out how to make it work if I can.

    BTW, you can do this programatically by using PowerShell (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee210569.aspx), SqlPackage (http://www.benday.com/2012/12/18/deploy-a-sql-server-database-projects-dacpac-with-sqlpackage-exe/)
    or the SQL Server binaries for .NET (http://www.vijayt.com/Post/Deploying-a-data-tier-application-in-SQL-Azure-programatically)
    Hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to read the vROps Database (Oracle / MSSQL)?

    Hi everyone,
    is there a way to access the vROps Database and collect all necessary information's on virtual machines without using the web interface or API.
    There is an Oracle / MSSQL Database which is used by the system, but I guess it's for internal operations only, but it would be much faster to get reports using the db - I guess
    Thanks for any help and clues
    smsys

    The VAs have Postgrs, xDB, FSDB.. etc databases under the covers and they are not directly accessible in any programmatic means other than the vR Ops API. They vApps do not run Oracle or MSSQL.

  • Is it possible to mirror the BC database on a different server?

    Hi there
    This may sound like a strange question.
    I am working with a client in Italy to build a contest website.  The rules in Italy state that the participant data must be held on a server in Italy - Alternatively if the data is held on a server outside of Italy they permit us to "mirror" the database on a server in Italy.
    We are hsoting the BC website in the European data centre which is hosted in Dublin, Ireland.
    Have you any suggestions on how I could mirror the database on a differnet (non BC) server?
    All suggestions . comments are most welcome.
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to move the SAP database to a dedicated host

    is it possible to migrate one SAP system that has the CI and DB on the same host to a system that has CI and DB on different hosts?

    Hello Tiberiu,
    yes you will need to change profile parameters , especially your STARTUP profile in the /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/profile directory.
    It would have a name like : START_DVEBMGSXX_<hostname>
    You can move your CI too, moving CI would require you to re-install the CI and point it to the new DB.
    Check relevant guides as mentioned by others above.

  • Is it possible to change the database instance host ??!!

    Hello,
    Quick question, I finished the installation of XI 3.0 with all patches.  But the system is running low, very low on resources even though it has 2GB of RAM.  I was wondering if it is possible to migrate the <SAPID> database and then re-configure the central instance and J2EE Engine to access a different machine OR do I have to re-install and follow the distributed system installation process.
    Thanks!

    Diego--
    Your issue isn't the database, it's the J2EE server.  Moving the database instance isn't going to save you enough RAM -- you'll run into the same problem again as soon as you start running messages through the system, when the J2EE engine starts allocating heap space for those messages.
    Our experience has been that 2GB of RAM is not enough for a development/prototype XI system.  You need 3GB to do a basic prototype/development machine install (but ask for 4GB if this is your permanent development system).  You'll need more than that in a typical production system.

  • Is it possible to read a mySQL database from an ABAP report?

    We have some information stored in a mySQL database which is now required on ABAP reports.
    Is it possible to read the mySQL database from an ABAP report? I'm still a bit confused on that.
    So far I have setup DBCO with information about the mySQL server using MMS as the DBS because mySQL was not an option. I have made sure we have the latest dbmssslib.dll installed.
    When I try to run the following code
    EXEC SQL.
        CONNECT TO :con
    ENDEXEC.
    I get error: SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
    Then I have tried to connect using the function CHECK_CONNECTION_SDB.
    I get the following messages in the return table:
    1     OS-AppServ:Windows NT
    2     dbmcli_neg: no_client_software
    3     dbmrfc_c_neg: no_client_software
    4     dbmrfc_s_neg: no_client_software
    5     sql_neg
    6     work_proc: 1
    Does anyone know what I need to do to connect to the mySQL database.
    Thank you
    Karen

    Thank you for your reply. I've gone through all the documentation you sent and much more and I'm still not sure what the problem is.
    One thing that concerns me is that this all relates to MS SQL server and I'm trying to link to a mySQL database. Is this even possible?
    Some posts talk about changing Oracle settings and having J2EE installed. Is this necessary to connect to a mySQL database via ABAP?
    Which user should I enter into DBCO? Is it the mySQL server user or a SAP user? Does the person in charge of the mySQL database need to add any permissions for SAP to access the database or is that done by the user in DBCO?
    Does anyone have any more advice?
    Thank you
    Karen
    Also, does anyone know what the messages from the CHECK_CONNECTION_SDB function mean
    1 OS-AppServ:Windows NT
    2 dbmcli_neg: no_client_software
    3 dbmrfc_c_neg: no_client_software
    4 dbmrfc_s_neg: no_client_software
    5 sql_neg
    6 work_proc: 1

  • Software migration to SAP but want to keep the existing database

    Dear experts,
    My company is planning to replace existing business applications (ASP or ASP .NET applications & Oracle database) with SAP software. Some applications are even still under development. To avoid complete code rewriting, is it possible to keep the existing database & only use ABAP for application logic & user interface instead?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Haris

    Hi,
    SAP database table structure and ASP .NET database table structure are totally different. Hence simply keeping the base oracle database same and changing the covering programming layer from ASP to ABAP won;t help.
    You will need to redevelop everything in ABAP from scratch.
    Hope this answers your query.

  • Is it possible to create a new table in the master database with SSMS ?

    Hello ,
    I have problems with this thread :
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlexpress/thread/5153c43b-7844-41c4-a414-d14730abe435/
    If no user database has been created , in SSMS , we can see only the 5 system databases ( master, msdb , tempdb... ).
    Logically , the user should connect automatically on the Master database ( if the user is the same as this used to install a new SQL Server instance, this user should be sysadmin that's to say he/she has all possible permissions and especially dbcreator ).
    Is it true that it is impossible to create a new table on the master database ?
    I have done many researches about this possibility , all I have found is the advice : don't touch to the master database. This database is used to store critical information about the instance and its user databases. Even in the last book of Kalen Delaney
    about SQL Server 2012 Internals , I have found nothing clear about the creation of tables in this database ( and what about the other system databases ? I am excluding tempdb ).
    If someone has an idea about this thread and my questions , I would be thankful for a reply on this thread or on the related thread in the SQL Server Express Forum ( with my poor written English , I am not sure to have poster in a correct and understandable
    way ).
    If you think that this thread is not in the good forum , a moderator of this forum can move this related thread ( I have not done the move as I am not sure which is the good forum Database Engine or Transact-SQL ... )
    Thanks beforehand and have a nice day.
    Mark Post as helpful if it provides any help.Otherwise,leave it as it is.

    >>Logically , the user should connect automatically on the Master database ( if the user is the same as this used
    to >>install a new SQL Server instance, this user should be sysadmin that's to say he/she has all possible permissions and >>especially dbcreator ).
    If you add the current user during the installation you can have it as system admin , or you can add him/her later on
    in SQL Server. BTW regarding dbcreator I have wrote some blog , need to read... :-)
    http://sqlblog.com/blogs/uri_dimant/archive/2010/09/02/be-careful-to-grant-dbcreator-server-role-to-the-user.aspx
    You can (if you have needed permissions) to create objects in master database, usually I create objects for instance maintenance (like rebuild indexes...)

  • Is it Possible to upload the output from Oracle reports To Access database

    Hi sg,
    Research the DDE option.
    Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) is a mechanism by which applications can communicate and exchange data in Windows.
    I have imported data into the excel spreadsheet using DDE built in functions. I am sure it can work with MS Acess as well. If not, then you need to create a 2 step process .. reports -> excel -> access.

    Hi,
    As far as I understand what you are asking for I would suggest 4 data dictionaries that will help you to know the table name from the column names
    1. USER_TAB_COLS
    2. ALL_TAB_COLS
    3. DBA_TAB_COLS
    4. COLS
    These can give you detail information about the columns and respective tables at user, schema, dba level. Further information on the table can be found by querying ALL_OBJECTS table giving table_name as Object_name, or you can join the data dictionaries too.
    To know about various data dictionaries avalible in Oracle please query select * from cat;
    Let us know if you need further assistance.
