Merging two highly dependent Databases

Hi
I want to merge our company's two highly dependent databases.
1: Any one can tell me the list of known issues and techniques to merge.
2: Advantages and disadvantages of merging databases.
3: Also pls send me the site links for the same.
Regards

I shall ask the same question of Satish, what does it mean by dependant? If there are two dataabases, you just can't "merge' them. Merge is a more better term to be used for two different tables residing in two databases. If there are two databases, you can merge the tablespaces of one with the anotehr with the help of data pump/export and can push to one of the database. This also leads to the question which of the two dbs is going to be your source and which would be your target?
What's the database version and o/s BTW?

Can you merge two user accounts on macbook? my wife has created a user on her new macbook , then inadvertently created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st ac has her office 365 install, yet 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts.

Can you merge two user accounts on a macbook? my wife has created a new user on her new macbook air then, inadvertently, created a second one when using the migration tool. 1st a/c has her office 365 install, while 2nd has her itunes database, docs and contacts. What is the best way forward to get everything into the one account? Not sure if the office 365 will allow another installation into the second account, otherwise would just do that and delete the first, if that is possible?

There is no merge but you can move data from one account to another via the Shared folder. Data is copied from Shared. Watch your free space when copying. These are large files. Do one at a time if you are on a small drive. After making copy, delete from other users before you start next copy.
Office365 installs in the main Applications folder and is available for all users on the computer. Activation is tied to the drive not the User.

Need help in merging two database

Dear All,
Can any one please let me know the methodology/Best practices for merging two databases.
We are having two oracle Database A and B, the data from
Database A has to be migrated to Database B using PL/SQL scripting.
it will be a great help,Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Use the DB Links and try to use the "MERGE" that is better.
you can clone it right, almost you are getting the same data from A to B and then you are going to Update is I am correct. Does the "B" consist the data, If yes then you can't clone on exiting DB, As i said above go for DB links and write custom scripts as per your requirement.

Merging Two OLAP databases

Hi ,
I have 2 databases "BI datawarhouse" and "BI datawarehouse Dev" that are the same (same Cubes and roles and ...)but every one of them has some additions. Is there any way to compare them in order to merge them in single database
instead of 2 ?
Thanks

Hello again, Jorje,
Given the fact that this is a random Tuesday morning, I forgot about the Synchronization Database Wizard that resides at the SSAS level (I presume that you are using Analysis Services). :)
To quote from the description of this wizard:
The Synchronize Database Wizard makes two Analysis Services databases equivalent by copying the data and metadata a database on
a source server to a database on a destination server. While the wizard synchronizes the data between the two databases, users can continue to query the destination database. After synchronization finishes, Analysis Services automatically switches the users
to the newly copied data and metadata, and drops the old data from the destination database.
Beside the syncing the data, this wizard also allows you to sync the roles between the two databases as you can see in the following image
You can have a short read about this wizard and how to use it by clicking on this
link. Although the page is for SQL Server 2012, there is an equivalent article for 2008 (R2) and 2005.
In conclusion, while the first method from the post is not obsolete, the second one is more elegant :).
To give you also a quick scenario to see if everything is working fine (and not affect something in case anything goes wrong):
- have Database A and Database B which need to be synced. Create an empty SSAS database, called
Database C, for example.
- create a backup of Database A and restore it over Database C with the overwrite option
- sync Database B with Database C
- perform checks to ensure that data in A and B are found in C.
Best regards,
Razvan

Can you have two connections to database

I am running two java programs which access the same database. One runs forever, and keeps the same connection up. The other program, lets say does a simple update, but it stalls and will never do the update. If I kill the first programs connection, then the second program can do the update. I am using the jdbc thin client. Is there a way I can have these both run and not stall?

The short answer is, yes.
There are two general approaches to the problem. The first approach is to use various locking, commit and rollback techniques. The basic premise is that if program A runs into a problem, the database drops A and reverts back to the previous state before responding to program B. This is highly dependent upon the database you're actually using, and probably beyond the scope of this forum.
The second approach is to code your programs with a philosophy of "get in, do it, get out" as quickly as possible. In other words, do NOT leave a database connection open if you can avoid it.
Essentially your program makes a connection, does a select query, copies the results into a data structure you define, and exits. Then you're free to play with the results as you see fit. When the time comes to do an update, you make the connection, perform the update, then immediately exit. If you need to test it, make another connection, do a select on that record, copy it, close the connection, then compare the copy with what you anticipate.
There is the added benefit that whenever you close the connection, most databases will then do whatever commits need to be done, and release any deadlocks that may be in place.
Your problem isn't really that your database cannot do two connections - its the fact that your database does not want to let two separate people make changes to the same table at the same time. There's an obvious reason for it and we can go into more detail if you want.
But essentially, if you do each transaction as quickly as possible, and let the database clean up after each transaction, you will avoid most, if not all of the problems you're experiencing.
Don't worry about the overhead of creating and closing connections. If it does become a problem, you can always use a "Connection Pool" (search for it on the forums if you want to know more). You just don't want to be in a position where the database is saying "I can't give you the info you want because I don't know if this other program is going to change any of it before giving control back to me."

How to CREATE VIEW to merge two tables each of which has CLOB-typed column

I failed in creating a view to merge two tables that have CLOB-type column each.
The details are:
Database: Oracle 9i (9.2.0)
Two tables "test" and "test_bak", each of which has the following structure:
ID Number(10, 0)
DUMMY VARCHAR2(20)
DUMMYCLOB CLOB
The following operation fails:
create view dummyview (id, dummy, dummyclob) as
select id, dummy, dummyclob from test
union
select id, dummy, dummyclob from test_bak;
I was announced:
select test.id, test.dummy, test.dummyclob
ERROR in line 2:
ORA-00932: inconsistent data type: required - , but CLOB presented.
But if creating views from only ONE table with CLOB-type columns, or from two tables WITHOUT CLOB-typed columns, the creation will succeed. The following 1) and 2) will succeed, both:
1) one table, with CLOB-typed column
create view dummyview (id, dummy, dummyclob) as
select id, dummy, dummyclob from test;
2) two tables, without CLOB-typed columns
create view dummyview (id, dummy) as
select id, dummy from test
union
select id, dummy from test_bak;
I want to merge the two tables all, with complete columns, how to write the CREATE VIEW SQL statement?
many thanks in advance

Dong Wenyu,
No.
But you could do this:
SELECT source.*, nvl (tab1.clob_column, tab2.clob_column)
FROM your_table1 tab1, your_table2 tab2, (
SELECT primary_key, ...
FROM your_table1
UNION
SELECT primary_key, ...
FROM your_table2
) source
WHERE source.primary_key = tab1.id (+)
AND source.primary_key = tab2.id (+)
In other words, do the set operation (UNION (ALL)/INTERSECT/MINUS) on just the PK columns before pulling in the LOB columns.

If a material reports to two higher level assemblies in the BOM /Is there a

Hi,
If a material reports to two higher level assemblies in the BOM would creates two planned orders for it. Each of the orders has a different date?
For example
Z is final assembly
In that Y is one assembly in that says X1material in level 2
And the again same material X1 is reporting to Y in levels 5 so here my question is it would create two planned order with different dates?
And
Is there any report to see confirmed time to say machine time / labor time or shall we go for report.
Thx....Srini

Srini,
CS15 can be usefull to check the usage of component in assemblies.
if its used then more then once it can be easily located through this report.
another concern what you expressed is not clear.
But what i understand is same component is used at level 2 and level 4 of a BOM.
assumption from the word levels is , X is used in level 2 its used directly in BOM of Y and Y have some differnt component G which inturn again have X in it .
so at both this levels if the dependent requirement is different, you can get 2 differnet orders use individual /collective indicvator for this material as individual .
If your concern is for BOM position (Item Number) field in BOM then system will create a single plan order even if you set it for individual requirement in material master.here some work around can be possible by maintaining lead time offset IN BOM in item detail screen.
check and come back
Hope it helps you

How to merge two pages of a PDF into one

How do I merge two pages (within the same PDF file) into one page? For example, I have a scanned 3x5 card; the front of the card is on page one and the back of the card is on page two. How do I merge them so the front and back of the card is on the same page? Thanks!

Phillip,
It works well because InDesign is highly reliable for placing PDF files (you can even choose which layer):
And it uses the common PDF Export presets for the Creative Suite. I've used it very reliably to place ads saved as PDF, and including them in a program guide, then exporting the entire project as one PDF file.

How to merge two storage drives into one partition-help

THis is on an iPad-Please excuse for any typos
I Am working on a project of restoring a macbook pro from old parts that I found. It works!!! But the HDD that i salvadged is ancient and gets about .15 MBPS. Not good. Its an apple certified and apple branded toshiba HDD-500G at 5400RPM. Yeah. *****
I am considering buying a new hard drive as a 480GB SSD, and using OWC's Data doubler, adding a second HDD, for all the photos and vids i will be collecting through my work in video and photo. I am considering getting an SSHD (SSD+HDD in an SSD form factor) and using this as the second drive. its not much more expensive (like 10$ more) and itgetsme semi-SSD like performance on a mass scale of storage.
HOw can I combine these two drives into ONE partition? 480GB will take awhile to fill up, but this is a future proof wall to use.
I Will eventually invest in an external storage option (2-3 HDDS in one caddy for backups and storing 1080p video all under one roof. depends if the board im using actually has thunderbolt or usb that is fast enough-because of the crappy hdd i cant get it to boot into an OS or go through usb recovery without it freezing. I ahve tried re-applying thermal paste, still doesnt help)
HOw can i easily partition these two drives into one?
also, my friend needs a new HDD because bootup times in his macbook pro are at like 2 mins+ and hes running Core 2 Duo, with 8 G ram and 10.9 (Mav) should i recommend an SSHD or an ssd. (He doesnt want an HDD, hes had bad 'voodoo' with em'. Thanks!

Connection between two SQL Azure Databases

We have a requirement to move data (partial data in a table based on policy conditions) between two SQL Azure Databases. Want to know the best possible way to do this.
We are not looking at Data Sync Framework - as this is only a Preview version and we have to use this in an ongoing basis in Production and the volume of data is quite high.
The option that we have currently is to use an on premise stored procedure - that will have two link servers to the source and target SQL Azure Databases and do the data movement in one transaction.
Are there any other better options to do this ? Any pointers will be helpful.

Hi Kothai Ramanathan,
According to your description, if you just want to moving part of the data from a huge table between two different SQL Server database, you can use
SQL Server replication to sync the part of data via articles. However, in SQL Azure database, it does not support SQL Server replication, if you want to migrate database, as other post, you
can use Data-Tier Application Import and Export or other ways.
In addition, for just moving the part of data, you can also create two Linked Servers between local SQL Server database and two different SQL azure database. For example, you can get the changed data from the first Linked
Server and saved the data to Local database, then insert these data to the other azure database via the second Linked Server.

Error Importing Schema on 7.1.04.131 (trying to merge two repo.structure)

Hello MDM Experts,
I am trying to merge CUSTOMER and VENDOR repository and getting an error while importing repository schema. We are on MDM 7.1 version 7.1.04.131(SP04 and latest Patch08). when i choose Transport>Import repository schema, "Import Schema VENDOR" screen pops up which gives me an opportunity to accept or reject tables/fields/roles etc...after finished with accept/reject tables/fields when i hit OK system gives me an error saying...
"Error Importign Schema"
"One or more of the selected items requires that you select additional items"
Has any one come across same error while merging two repository structures..? or any suggestions would be appreciated..
Thanks in Advance
Rohit

Hey Rohit,
This error could come due to several reasons, some of the most common ones can be:
1. You have defined a Remote System and Port, and assigned a syndication/Import map to it, now if you transport only the Port, you can get the error since the Port has a dependency on Remote system and you should transport both of them together.
2. You have defined a Main table (or a lookup table) which has a dependency on another lookup table. Now if you transport only the Main table, you will have an error since Main in dependent on Lookup table.
If it is possible, you can try transporting whole repository , instead of individually picking and choosing objects. This will make sure all the objects are transported. If that is not the case then you need to look at all the objects and make sure its dependent objects are also transported.
Thanks

How to merge two tables in powerpivot excel 2013?

Hi
I have a few tables imported from two different systems/databases/tables and I need to merge them into one table in Power Pivot.
All of the import tables have some common fields such as Name, Value. e.g. Staff Expenses, Staff Sales table
The output table at lest with 3 columns (Name, Value, and Data Source). The Data Source column indicates which table the row value comes from.
How can I merge the tables using DAX?
Regards
Joe Lee
update: Just add a few sample data and chart I was required to develop
Name
Expense
Joe
1000
James
2000
Name
Sales
Joe
3000
James
10000
The chart I need to develop
I was thinking using DAX to merge the table as follow for the chart
Name
DataSource
Value
Joe
Expense
1000
James
Expense
2000
Joe
Sales
3000
James
Sales
10000

Hi Joe,
DAX doesn't currently have a UNION function so you'll need to use a workaround such as
this to achieve the result but it won't be suitable for all scenarios. I would generally recommend using the Append capability
in Power Query for this type of task as it would be a much better fit. However, I should highlight that using Power Query would limit your refresh options to a manual refresh from within the workbook or scheduled refreshes using Power BI
for Office 365. If this is not a deal breaker then Power Query is the way to go.

How to merge two conflicting contact on iPhone and on laptop?

How to merge two conflicting contacts?
When syncing my iPhone w/ my Mac laptop, it seems that Apple does not provide an option that allows you to merge the data from two conflicting contacts. For example, you have a contact on your iPhone for Andy Summer and a contact on your laptop for Andy Summers - one contact contains only Andy's name and email address, the other contact contains only Andy's name and his mailing address. I'd like to be able to merge the data from these two contacts into one and save it to both, but the Conflict Resolver in the syncing program (I think it's in iTunes) does not offer an option for merging the two.
Does anyone have any knowledge about 1) how to merge data from two conflicting contacts, or 2) some other way to keep the data from each so that I don't have to choose one over the other?

Jawad,
First of all,You need to make teaming on both the interfaces on the server side.Which mode do you want to use? Active-Active or Active-Standby.
Server side :Active-Active - You need to configure the switch side to be a etherchannel/LACP. It can be done by the commands on the cisco 4006.
Server side :Active-Standby - You need nothing to do at the switch side.
Note: Seems PAGP is a proprietary of cisco. Server shouldn't know that. To be bound with mode "on" of "lacp" should be fine. It depends on the server side as well.

What are considerations for Highly Transactional Database

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me about considerations for highly transactional database? Is Oracle 10g RAC better or Oracle DB with dataguard?
Thanks.
Regards,
RJiv.

I'm still not understanding what your question is... Load characteristics are quite irrelevant when discussing the necessity of DataGuard, though the amount of redo generated obviously impacts how much bandwidth is required between the primary and standby site. Bare transaction numbers are somewhat irrelevant when discussing the necessity or advisability of RAC since the amount of work a "transaction" does depends wildly on the application, the number of "transactions" a server can handle depends wildly on the hardware, and the business's need for scalability/ load balancing/ surviving node failure are independent of the transaction load.

Please help me to merge two places.sqlite to get my old and New history at the same time, every time i rename my two places.sqlite to see my old and new history

every time i rename my new places.sqlite to see my old history and come back rename old places.sqlite to see my new history, i tired and i found No Way to merge two places.sqlite :( but it's must be found this way for The PPL to see their old and new history :(
Thank You all in Advance

You can't merge history otherwise then using Sync to store the history and bookmarks of one places.sqlite on the Sync server and then disconnect.<br />
Copy the second places.sqlite file to your Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed.
Then setup Sync once again using that account and merge the content on the Sync server with your computer.
