2005 Breaks Sp_rename For Constraints?
Aug 30, 2006
BooksOnline indicates that sp_rename can still be used to rename constraints such as primary keys, foreign keys, defaults, etc. in SQL Server 2005. However, when I try to do so I get this:
"Either the parameter @objname is ambiguous or the claimed @objtype (object) is wrong."
After looking at the code for sp_rename, it looks like this problem might be related to another bit of apparent misbehavior on 2005's part: when I execute "select object_name()" with the Id number of a constraint, it returns the name, but when I execute "select object_id()" with the name of that same constraint, it returns null. Why is that?
Thanks,
Ron

I had a report that exported to PDF just fine before installing SP2 and now it is completely messed up. The report consists of a table that has two header rows (the report is basically a calendar). First Header Row is Month - merged across all 7 columns, Second header row is day of week. The next row is a row containing the date and finally the last row contains the actual data that is populated into each day. It is a sub-report in each cell of the row. It used to export fine but after applying SP2 it exports to pdf like this:
1st page is the first header row (Month) - Nothing else on the page
2nd page is the 2nd header row (Day of Week) - Nothing else on this page.
3rd page is the 1st row of actual dates - Nothing else on the page.
4th page is the data that goes to that 1st row of dates on the 3rd page, this page all all following pages are fine and show the row with the date directly above the data row with no page breaks in-between.
There is nothing in any of the controls forcing a page break (remember, it worked fine up until SP2 was applied).
What did the SP break? I am unable to modify my report now so that it exports to PDF correctly. What the heck???

Is there something I can do in layout mode to cause line breaks to only occur when data changes? I am creating a list of students and their degrees, but some students have multiple degrees and some only have one. If I place the information in a table with a blank row for a break, it breaks after every degree, but without the break there are no breaks at all.
Here's what I want:
Student
degree
degree
Student
degree
Student
degree
degree
degree
But what I have is:
Student
degree
degree
Student
degree
Student
degree
degree
degree
Is there any way to fix this, perhaps with an expression of some kind?

Hi,
I have some simple views that bind to an Access forms for use in the detail side of Master/Detail forms.
The views are of the style:
SELECT *.OrderDetails, Products.TotalUnitsInStock AS UsefulReferenceInfo
FROM OrderDetails LEFT OUTER JOIN Products ON ..........
Using a database in SQL 2000, opening the view to directly insert values into the OrderDetails columns works perfectly, and Access correctly determines that there is an IDENTITY column that is the Primary Key. Insert works perfectly, form work perfectly.
Using the same SQL script to build a database in SQL 2005 the view doesn't detect that the column is an IDENTITY column so any attempt to insert data fails with the error "Invalid input parameter values. Check the status values for detail." Insert fails, form also doesn't work.
I have tested this in Access 2002, 2003 and 2007 B2TR and all give the same results so it seems to be a breaking change in SQL 2005.
It is easy to see when there is going to be trouble because the tell-tale '(Auto Number)' or more recently '(New)' text is missing from the appropriate identity column.
This is fairly inconvenient and breaks quite a lot of my Master/detail forms that use this design pattern.
Can anybody from the SQL team help shed some light on this for my.
Cheers Simon

SQL Server 7.0I have a stored procedure that builds some tables. To minimize down time(it is the backend for a website), I build the tables into temp (not #temp)tables, drop and rename the tables with SP_Rename. On ONLY one of the tablerenames (1 of 8), I get the following Error:sp_rename error: 15248 Severity 11Error: The parameter @oldname is either ambiguous or the claimed @itemtype((null)) was wrong. It refers to Line 256.Again I get no errors doing the exact same process on the other 7 tables.Anybody have any ideas?Barry

I am trying to use DDL triggers to detect all changes to a table.
Sometimes a user directly or (more likely) through the SQL Server Management Studio GUI renames a column via sp_rename.
I can't seem to figure out how to detect such renames using a DDL trigger. Is there any way or is this a limitation of the DDL trigger system?

I know this is probably a flick of a switch but I cannot figure out which switch. Setup is SQL Server / Stored Procedures / DAL / BLL(skipped for testing) / PL. The stored procedure queries from only one table and two columns are ignored because they are being phased out. I can run the stored procedure and preview the data in the DAL but when I create a page with an ODS linked to the DAL and a GridView I get this error. I checked every column that does not allow nulls and they all have values. I checked unique columns (ID is the only unique and is Identity=Yes in the table definition). I checked foreign-key columns for values that are not in the foreign table and there are none. Any ideas why do I get this?
Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints.

Hi,
I am getting the above error when trying to load a report into my Web Application, I have tracked the error down to one specific field in my database. Even though this field is a NVarChar field and is of size 30 it would seem that there is an issue returning the value from the field. I can write it into the database no problems but when I try to get it out of the database it returns the above error.
e.g
MOB 401.908.804 - Fails
0401.907.324 - okay
8239 9082 (pager) - fails
Anyone got an idea on how to fix this????
Regards..
Peter.

Hi,
Recently I have been trying to write a script in order to redo this entire database, it's actually only about rectifying column and table names as well as a few erroneous relations, etc. The idea is that the actual data is okay it's just the organization that is completely messed up (spaces in column and table names, etc.)
Anyway my problem is this, a part of this script is about mass-renaming columns and tables the code is as follows in the Query Analyzer:
Code Snippet
sp_rename 'DOMAINE.[Id DOMAINE]', 'ID_DOMAINE', 'COLUMN';
sp_rename 'DOMAINE.[Nom DOMAINE]', 'NOM', 'COLUMN';
When I barely analyze the code (Ctrl+F5) it gives me the following error:
Serveur : Msg 170, Niveau 15, État 1, Ligne 2
Ligne 2 : syntaxe incorrecte vers 'sp_rename'.
Which would roughly translate into:
Server : Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Line 2 : Incorrect syntax near 'sp_rename'
When I execute it, it gives the same error. Why does it do that when i give it the two lines while if i enter the lines one by one it works just fine. How is a SCRIPT supposed to work if I have to "baby-feed" every statement separately.
PS:
i am working on SQL Server 2000 (in Query Analyzer menu ?/About .. it says SQL Version 8.00.194

I have several nested sub-total groups that are all coded to "page break at end". I don't know how to tell RS to suppress the page break if one sub-total immediately follows another. The initial HTML output seems to be smart enough to do this suppression on its own, but when I export to PDF, all the page breaks appear. This causes several pages at the end of the report with one line per page. Perhaps, if I could explicitly suppress these page breaks, the PDF would render properly. How can I do this?

Hi,
I want to get this straight, and so far it's not really working the way I want. So, here it is.
I got a table with multiple groups (3 grouping, Manager, Sale Type and Product Type). I want the Manager name being shown on every new page (which I enabled using the "Repeat on new page" property). This works fine so far. Then, I want that every time I have a new "Sale Type", it's on a new page.
This is where it gets hard. I can't get it to work the way I want.
If I set the group 2 with a "Page Break At Start", the first page of my report is blank (which is kind of logical looking at the property name). Same thing goes with "Page Break At End", but the last page is blank.
Is there any way to just have a table grouped without any blank page? Can I dynamicaly disable page breaks if it is the last page / first page of the report?
Here's what I want:
Manager: Some guy
Sale Type - Normal
Product - Mitsubishi Lancer
[some report detail goes here ...]
Page 1/2
** PAGE BREAK **
Manager: Some guy
Sale Type - Rent
Product - Honda Civic
[some report detail goes here ...]
Page 2/2

I have a report with multiple data regions. Each region has its own dataset potentially. I want each region to appear on its own page. Sometime I get a page break where I want it and in other instances within the same report, the breaks are ignored and 2 regions will appear on the same page. I tried imbedding the data regions in rectangles and setting the page break on the rectangle but this doesn't seem to help. There doesn't seem to be any predictable pattern. Any ideas?

Hi,
We have an internal mail system, but when the user writes something into the textbox (textarea), he often uses enter to get the message over several lines, our problem is that when the message is saved to the database and retrieved, all the breaks are gone and its all on a single line. In the database its stored inside a field called "message nvarchar(MAX)". How can i preserve the linebreaks?
example, user writes:
Hello,Nice day,to go fishing.
output, after it has been saved and retrieved:
Hello, Nice day, to go fishing.

Hello all,
When I changed the SQL sa account password (it was blank) and then tried to connect to SMS remotely via SMS Administrator Console, I get Connection Failed. It seemed to work for a about 20 minutes and then I get "Connection Failed" when I try to run the console remotely. I used the SQL Enterprise Manager to change the sa password and then I used the SMS Administrator Console to set its SQL Server account to sa with the new password under Site Properties. When I switched it to a blank password in SQL and SMS, it started working again.
From the Application Event Log I seem to be getting a lot of these messages (even now - and it's working):
"The description for Event ID ( 1001 ) in Source ( SQLCTR70 ) could not be found. It contains the following insertion string(s): SQL Server not running."
I have also gotten: "The Open Procedure for service "NM" in DLL "nmperf.dll" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. Status code returned is DWORD 0. "
I don't see any messages from SMS in Event Viewer.
What am I doing wrong?
TIA for you assistance.

I am fairly new to SQL Server. I work for an Internet sofware company building web sites for our customers.
I am trying to insert JavaScript ad tags into a text field in my db. It seems that when the calling web page is rendered the line breaks are removed from the js code and it does not function properly. I've doubled up all of the single quotes and the line breaks appear in the insert statement but do not make it to the front side of my web site.

Greetings all:
I'm having a bit of an issue with a report that I've been working on for the last several days. The report is set up to use a table to print out information grouped by customer, with each customer's information showing up on a new page. This is all fine and well, but it seems that the table is generating page breaks after each row; in other words, since the table has twelve rows (10 group header rows, one details row, and one group footer row), twelve pages get printed, with the data from each row showing up at the top of the page, and nothing else.
The odd thing seems to be this: when I turn off page breaks (initally set to occur at the end of each group), it continues to
insert these breaks, as long as the details row forces the group footer onto another page. This doesn't happen every time the report is generated. Short of getting into the XML that makes up the report definition, I've tried every trick I can think of to get this to stop.
Any suggestions?
Edit: I should also mention that the report previews just fine, but only spits out the 12+ pages when printed or exported.

We have run into a really bizzare problem after upgrading to SQL Server 2005 SP2. We have a bunch of matrix reports that have interactive sort in the upper left hand corner, the sort based on Numeric and Text fields. For Example
=Fields!City.Value
=Sum(Fields!Pax.Value)
Now for whatever reason after upgrading to SP2 and making NO CHANGES to the reports or under data sources, interactive sorts that use the =Sum(....) no longer work but interactive sorts on text values still work.
Any ideas???

Hello All,
I face the following problem.
I have a report with a list and under that list i have a table and a chart that sums the values from the dataset.
In my list properties i have set that their should be a page break after the list (meaning that my table and chart
should start a new page).
In my listgroup properties is hava also set a page break after each group.
Now when i preview my report in visual studio, the groupdetails are displayed in one page and the summed table and chart are on a second page. when i do a print preview, i get 3 pages but my sum table is on the second page under the last groupdetail and the chart is 3rth page.
When i publish my report on the reportserver and i do the same through my browser, i get the same error.
Why doesn"t the page break after each group doesn't work ?
Why does the page break after the list doesn't work ? is this a bug ?
Is there a way to set a pagebreak manually on the report for example in a hidden textbox ???
Any suggestions, tricks, help .....

hi,
can any one tell how to force a page break for rdl files dynamically.I mean the page break should appear at constant height in every page,if we include the page break at group level or table level then scrolling appers in webpage.so can we force a page break based on report page height so that if records are present or not page break should be down it should not shrink to top.

Hi, we run an app that is linked across a SQL Server 2000 (Server 2003), IIS (Server 2003) and a notes server. Everything has been running sweet till the daylight saving kicked in a week last sunday, the clocks re synced on monday (SQL was 8 mins out) and connection within the app was lost and needed IIS and SQL services restarted. Eventually all was up and running till today, IIS resynced Monday at 3AM but once SQL resynced at 9:45 the app stoped and only restarted after SQL services got restarted and then IIS services (IIS Admin and its 2 associated services) got restarted. Time will resync on both servers at + - 3am next Monday and i am expecting the whole thing to go the same way..... Does anyone know why W32Time would cause SQL network connectivity to 'blip'? This time, the times on both servers matched before and after.
Have checked Event logs on both and nothing on or after the time.
The server syncs fine, the other databases on the server are unaffected.
Thank you
Graeme

I have a field in a db table which is like a chat history.I need to update the field with a user's input (put into a multiline text box) and append that to the beginning of the field.The problem is that I want to maintain line breaks when I retrieve the field into a multiline textbox (aka textarea) and can't figure it out.I've searched around and have seen lots of solutions for converting line breaks into <br> tags, but those people are trying to output to a label.I'm using an update command in my SqlDataSource like this: UpdateCommand="UPDATE [account] SET [history] = @history + history WHERE [id] = 1"With a parameter declaration like this: <UpdateParameters> <asp:ControlParameter Name="history" ControlID="TextBox1" PropertyName="Text" /> </UpdateParameters>If I try to concatenate in a or CHR(10), the characters are literally inserted. Like this for example (this is the last variation I tried).... UpdateCommand="UPDATE [account] SET [history] = @history + CHR(10) + history WHERE [id] = 1"How do I store a CrLf programatically?

I had a '-- comment' right
Select @data = @@identity
This select failed - @data was NULL
I changed it to SET @data = @@identity
This also failed @data was null
I then change to the follow which worked - Why would the different form of a
comment make a difference? I was the only one in the database, there were no
other changes. I could make the logic block fail or succed by just changing
the comment syntax.
