Database Import/Export Question

I tried to export a database which includes tables and stored procedures from development environment to a production environment. For unknown reasons only the tables were copied whereas stored procedures were not copied and no error message shown what happened. Does anybody have a clue? I did the same export to an XP machine and it went through properly.How did you export the data? Did you use DTS?
Maybe you will find my previous post listing the steps I use to export objects to be helpful:http://forums.asp.net/1037418/showpost.aspx
|||Thanks. I got it. Don't know why the import/export said 100% complete but nothing showed up even I refreshed the stroed procedures in Enterprise Manager. And after a while (actually I went to pull someone to see the situation) the SP shown. Weird?|||

Enterprise Manager is often annoyingly unaware of schema changes. What I typically do is right-click on the server name and chooseRefresh, do the same for the Database node, the specific database, andthen the Tables node and any other node which should berefreshed. The new objects will then show up.

database import question

Hi all,
I have a database I maintain that has grown quite large. The part of it
I am interested in, is one paticular table that logs the history of
certain high volume "events". I have events back to 2002, and the
database is almost 3 Gigs. I rarely need to query more than 6 months
worth. Here is what I would like to do.
I'd like to split the database, and create an archive database. I want
to move everything before 2006 to this new database. Now, I know I can
do a complete backup, and then delete the stuff I don't need, but I
wanted to know if there is a way to import just the dates I need from
the current database. Of course, there is a timedate field to key off
of.
I am using the GUI to do this in Enterprise Manager SQL 2000, Windows
2003 Server.
Thanks in advance.Hi there
There are several ways to do this. You can try to use DTS to move the data
over. Or you can use query analyzer. If you can use Query Analyzer, you can
actually use a query something like:
SELECT *
INTO [ArchiveDBName].dbo.[TableName]
FROM dbo.[OriginalDBName]
WHERE [DateStamp] < '1/1/2006'
And to delete the records from the original table:
DELETE FROM dbo.[OriginalDBName]
WHERE [DateStamp] < '1/1/2006'
However, it was not clear from you post if you have access to Query Analyzer
.

I don't know for sure, but I will assume if I use your command that I
will need to set the table up first. Not a big deal, though. I guess
I'm just being lazy. Thank you!
