Copy rows from [myDataBase].[myDataBase].[carthead] to
[myDataBase].[myDataBase].[carthead]
Looks like you are copying from a database [MyDatabase] to the SAME
[MyDatabase]
I still suspect that you are using the same source and destination
servers.
Nope...I double-checked and it just doesn't work. Just to be sure, I created
a new blank database on the destination server and did an "import data" from
the remote server...it copied all the data over successfully. The problem
is, the app reading the database gives a permissions error when trying to
read the copied database...I think the ownership is an issue, but I'm not
sure.
The app (an ecommerce cart), has an option to "fix" a database, but it just
reruns the schema-creation script and wipes the entire database. When I try
to "import" into this newly initialized dB, is when I get the error.
I mentioned that I copied to a new dB on the destination server
successfully...I then tried to import data into the re-initialized database
from the local 2nd database, and the same thing happens as I outlined below.
Now, I agree with you...it looks like the target database is the same as the
destination database...but this must be some flaw in the SSMS import wizard
because I am definitely NOT specifying the same server and dB for the
target/destination!

If a CONSTRAINT was involved with preventing the data from beingThat's what I assumed...
imported, there would be error messages, and you would not receive a
"copied xxx rows" message.
I'm wondering about the location of the resulting table. Are you sure
that you did NOT use the same server for both the source and
destination?
That would be a likely mistake for me to make :o
... but in this case I'm sure that isn't what's happening...I'm copying
from the remote server and targeting the dB on the local server (I've
tried it numerous times). In each case, I'm logging in to the remote
server with a SQL Login/pwd and to the local server with a trusted
connection. I'm selected "delete rows in target table" and "enable
identity insert". Here's my transaction:
//--begin transaction
Click Finish to perform the following actions:
Copy rows from [myDataBase].[myDataBase].[carthead] to
[myDataBase].[myDataBase].[carthead]
Any existing rows in the target table will be deleted.
Copy rows from [myDataBase].[myDataBase].[cartrows] to
[myDataBase].[myDataBase].[cartrows]
Any existing rows in the target table will be deleted.
Copy rows from [myDataBase].[myDataBase].[CartRowsOptions] to
[myDataBase].[myDataBase].[CartRowsOptions]
Any existing rows in the target table will be deleted.
Copy rows from [myDataBase].[myDataBase].[Categories] to
[myDataBase].[myDataBase].[Categories]
Any existing rows in the target table will be deleted.
Copy rows from [myDataBase].[myDataBase].[Categories_Products] to
[myDataBase].[myDataBase].[Categories_Products]
Any existing rows in the target table will be deleted.
The package will not be saved.
The package will be run immediately.
The execution was successful
//--end transaction
And here's the report upon completion:

//--end report
So, it looks like everything executes...but when I open any table in the
dB, the data is not there!

I have a dB on a remote SQL2000sp4/win2k server I'm trying to import
into SQL2005x64 (sp1) on Server2003x64. I have a schema that I didn't
write that created the database on both servers.
During config on the import wizard I select to delete existing data and
enable identity insert, and when I run the copy all the steps complete,
including "copied xxx rows", and there are no errors in the report.
But when I check the table, there is no data in it! Would a constraint
on the table prevent the data from actually being inserted, even though
it reports the rows were copied successfully?
