Hi everyone,
Running Windows 2003 x64 and Sql25k 64-bit edition
We just have a couple of questions related with our system:
-What is Sql Server VSS Writer service for?
-What sort of implications must we assume when Integration Services service is running as NT AUTHORITYNetworkService
Any link or advice would be welcomed.
Thanks for your time,
I am using Merge Replication for my scenario (POS). I have made the publication (articles are a set of tables in DB ABC) and its subscription (in same DB and diff tables xyz1, xyz2). I have scheduled the push subscription as run continuously between Dates(e.g current date to 3 days ahead, just for testing). Now, Can I change this schedule? How can I edit/remove the artilce from the above publication?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to:
Copy an existing production database to a new database on the same server; this will be used for development.
Copy an existing table for backup purposes in preparation for deleting a couple fields from the table (precautionary process really).
I've been out of the database swing if you will for a while, just now getting the opportunity to get my feet wet so to speak. I can use either Enterprise Manager or connec to the database via ODBC and make the copies/deletes there, but I'm looking to do this via EM or SQL command.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello - I'm about to rebuild my website on a nice new windows 2k3 server. I was previously using SQL server 7 but I'd like to use the 2005 edition.
Here's my first question - is the Express edition 2005 good enough to use on my live web server? Are there limits on the amount of connections at any one time?
My second question is this - what's the best way to connect to SQL Server 2005 Express?
At the moment I would use something like:
Server=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True;Database=myDB
And then I would set up a COMPUTERNAMEASPNET account under SQL Server 2005 Express.
Is that an ok way to connect??
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Hello all, this is my first post, I have a couple of basic questions regarding the use of SSIS. I have used SSIS for a couple of years for on off table loads but never implemented production jobs with it so please bear with these questions.
1. When making scripts that connect to one or more databases, is there a way to store the userid and password somewhere besides embedded within the package, such as a web.config file, this would make routine password changes much more manageble.
I guess it was only one question but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
A couple questions about SQL Server Reporting Services:
1. Can it be used for other data sources besides SQL Server (Oracle db, XML files, via APIs, etc.)?
2. Can it do ad hoc reporting? I like the "universes" that the SAP Business Objects product allows. Does Reporting Services have something like this, to provide a simplified view that non-technical business users can use to create their own reports? Or is Reporting Services just the equivalent to Crystal Reports?
(I wanted to post this in the general MSDN forum for SQL Server, but I can never log in there for some reason.)
Hi,
I'm trying to build a package programatically.
I've added a variable to my package but how do you specify its datatype? Is it purely determined by the type of the value that you pass in the Variables.Add(...) method?
I've added task and a sequence container to my package - no problem there. My sequence container is referenced in a variable of type DTSContainer but DTSContainer doesn't have an executables collection. So, how do I add a task into my sequence container?
Thanks

Greetings!
I am writing a proof of concept ASP.net application for my employer and I have run into a couple perplexing issues. First off, In my Page_Load event I have the following code.
txOTHrs.Attributes["onBlur"] = "return calculateTotal(this)";
The onblur event handler is coded as follows
function calculateTotal(tb)
{
var regHrs = document.getElementById ("txRegHrs").value;
var otHrs = document.getElementById("txOtHrs").value;
var rate = document.getElementById("txRate").value;
var regAmt = rate * regHrs;
var otAmt= rate * ( otHrs * 1.5 );
var total = otAmt + regAmt;
document.getElementById("txTotal").value = total;
}
Everything seems to work fine. The onBlur event is handled and, as I expect the value in the txTotal text box is updated correctly. The problem occurs when I try to access that value in the codebehind page. When ever I look at txTotal.Text in the debugger it is always blank. This has left me scratching my head as I can clearly see a value on the web page. Have I missed some step where I have to notify the server that a value in the control has changed ?
My second question is, I hope a very easy one to answer. In WinForms when I have a dataset I can access the individual rows ( in an untyped dataset ) by speficying dataset.tables["tableName"].Rows[index]. Is there any similar mechanism for accessing the individual rows, and fields in the SqlDataSource object in ASP.net ?
Any help anyone can provide is greatly appreciated!!
I have a SQL Server 2005 database (called BDHSE) in a PC which i call PC1. I have a second PC (PC2) and both are within a network (a WLAN).
What i want is to have access to BDHSE from an application in VB6 (APP1) running in PC2. All the INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE records process is done through APP1.
APP1 ia currently running in PC1 and is to be installed on PC2.
I have these questions:
1. What do i need to install in PC2 since all the INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE is done using APP1? I guess i only have to install the Microsoft SQL Native Client (with all the prerequisites of course) but i am not sure.
2. In the APP1 made in VB6, do i have to change the connectionstring since i am accesing the database which physically is at PC1 and the APP1 will be used in PC2?
3. Any advice you can give me on doing this will be well received.
Thanks in advance,

Hi everyone,
I'm just a newbie with clustering.
We've got a 64-bit A-P cluster running with Sql25k 64-bit too.
Each node own two local network adapters. One of them (the one currently is Active) own three IP and the another one only one.
Why? From CLUADMIN I see as one of these three is set as Cluster IP Address in Active Resources. So I see the following configuration for the Active node:
Adapter 1: IP public for Active Directory
Adapter2: IP1 (reserved or ???????)
IP2 (used as SQL IP Address 1 in Active Resources)
IP3 (used as Cluster IP Address in Active Resources)
Passive node:
Adapter 1: IP public for Active Directory
Adapter2: IP (only have one ???)
Is this correct/necessary? Does anyone have similar configuration?
Thanks for your time,

I have made a report in SRS and am not sure of how to do some of the functions I need.
In SQL I can use UPPER to convert to upper case, SRS doesn't seem to like this. The report runs but the line that is to be upper case is missing. If I remove the UPPER word from my query it works fine just displaying in lower case. Am I doing something wrong?
In Excel 2007 (I am converting my report from Excel to SRS) there is a function called NETWORKDAYS (Returns the number of whole working days between start_date and end_date. Working days exclude weekends and any dates identified in holidays. Use NETWORKDAYS to calculate employee benefits that accrue based on the number of days worked during a specific term.) Is there something similar I can use in SRS?
Thanks.
I am using a sqlDataSource to read my query and to put the rows into a gridview. Now I want to read just a couple of rows from my query based on a maximum number, also defined in the table. I have absolutely no idea how to do that..for example: I want to view only the 10 most recent subsciptions into my gridview. The subscriptions are stored into tabel Subscriptions which has values id, userid,date. Table Event has a parameter "maximum subscriptions" (which is 10 in my example) I hope it is clear enough?Thank you in advance!BlueiVeinz

for example I want to create in form 2 check boxes male and female and when either both or one of them is unchecked, the query filters out the unchecked content from view according to the other filtering conditions.

a text box for string looking (in a specific column).

Hello, I'm a little confused after installing a service pack for SQL 2005 Express. I see SP 1 & 2 for 2005 but I can't see where the SP stands alone for Express. The title says Express 2005 Service Pack 2. Does that mean that I download that version of Express and SP2 is already built in and I just load the new one over the old one or do I uninstall the old one first? I'm not real bold at this point since it took me a long time to get the Express working.
Another question - I downloaded the DTSWizard.exe 2006 msi package and installed it on my XP Pro machine. The add/remove programs window shows it to be installed but it doesn't show up in the folder it is supposed too. I've done searches for the DTSWizard.exe but it's not there, anywhere. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? I was able to get the DTSWizard to work on my 2000 Pro machine before going to XP Pro this past week. Thanks for any help you may be able to give me.

Does SQLServer go to sleep when it's been idle? How can I connect without an error?
I have SQLExpress on a server. Server Name is SqlExpress. I have 2 DBs on that server... Tuna & Guppy. I'm connecting to the DBs from a remote PC which runs my App... an exe created with Visual Studio 2008, Visual Basic.
If I run my App at say 9:30PM, after the server has been idle for several hours, I get a "Can't open connection to Guppy" error, which is my error message when the connection attempt fails. If I quit & relaunch the app, it connects fine, and will continue connecting fine unless you leave the server idle for serveral hours again.
If I'm developing a 2nd app all evening... which connects to a 2nd DB...Tuna, that activity seems to keep the SqlServer awake and then launching the 1st app at 9:30PM connects to Guppy just fine.
I tried adding a "Connection Timeout=30" to my connection string but that did not help.
My connection code is as follows (note the server's name is SQLExpress):
Dim strConnG As String = "Data Source=SQLEXPRESSSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Guppy;Integrated Security=True;Connection Timeout=30"
Using ConnG As New SqlConnection(strConnG)
'open Guppy connection
Try
ConnG.Open()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Can't open connection to guppy")
Return False
End Try
'Code that does stuff
End using
Can anyone tell me how to fix this so I can connect without error, even if the server has been idle?
Thank you,

I am using a Excel Source to get the data from an excel file to sql server 2005 table. A couple columns are coming in a double precision float, but some values have characters in them, but those values are coming out as null, even though I changed the datatype from float to unicode string. Any inputs on resolving this will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

1. Is it legal and OK to use a MSDN SQL copy on a production environment or is it strickly for test environments ??
2. If I own a legal copy of SQL 7 with 5 cals, can I legally use SQL MSDE and have more than 5 people access my SQL server or am I also limited to 5 users as my original ??
Sorry I am a newbie at this SQL thing.
I'm banging my head against the wall. It's probably pretty simple so here goes...
I have a form that supposed to add records to a table on the database. I'm pretty sure I have the dataAdapter and Dataset set right but when I add a record, it complains that the primary key can’t be null. I’ve tried different things, including removing those fields and variables from the stored Proc, changing the Identity Properties of the Table, changing the AutoIncrement settings on the Dataset for that field, but all give me different errors. Nothing actually makes it work. This database has many records in it and the Primary key is a decimal field that starts at 5, then next was 10, then 28, then it started getting consecutive after 110. (111, 112, 113, etc.) (I'm porting over an old database to a new web site, so I'm somewhat contrained by the database.)
I guess my question is for adding records in to a database that has a primary unique key constraint. Certainly this is a pretty common thing. Obviously I do not want users to enter that in themselves, I thought it should simply autocreate/autonumber. So what is the best procedure and gotcha’s I need to watch out for?
if i have the following code, how do i know if the transaction was actually successful, so basically where in this code can i write TRANSACTION SUCCESFUL?
try
{
//Open up the connection
conn.Open();
//Setup the Transaction
trans = conn.BeginTransaction();
//First query in transaction
pre_query = "Delete from Menu where spec_name="
+ "'"
+ spec_name_array[i].Text.ToString()
+ "'" ;
//Second query in transaction
query = "INSERT into Menu VALUES ('"
+ Calendar1.SelectedDate
+"','"
+ spec_name_array[i].Text.ToString()
+"','"
+ spec_desc_array[i].Text.ToString()
+"','"
+spec_price_array[i].Text.ToString()
+"',1)";
SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand(pre_query,conn);
//Setup the command to handle transaction
comm.Transaction = trans;
//Execute first query
comm.ExecuteNonQuery();
//Add in second query
comm.CommandText = query;
//Execute second query
comm.ExecuteNonQuery();
trans.Commit();
}
catch(SqlException ex)
{
com_label.Text = "Submission Not complete, did you forget the date or something else?";
//Undo all queries
trans.Rollback();
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
}
This may not be the right place for this post...but my head is hurting and I can't think right now.
I have a SQL table of users. Each record has a required 'Birthdate' field. I'd like to order this by the days left till the give birthday, keeping in mind that the year may be 1980 or their birthday might have been 2 weeks ago.
Can someone cure my headache?
I have written 2 custom connection mgr€™s.
One connects the data from an oracle source
One connects so I can put the data on a sql server.
These both work well and it makes it a lot easier across development, test, production.
But now I would like a good way to do this
I have 10 tables to copy from oracle. The only difference is just the name of the table.
static string[] g_tables =
{
"table_name_1",
"table_name_2",
"table_name_3",
€¦
};
foreach (string str_table in g_tables)
{
Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCommand OracleCommand = new Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCommand
(
"select * from " + str_table,
OracleConnection
);
Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDataReader OracleDataReader =
OracleCommand.ExecuteReader();
// dump out to raw file destination
}
I understand there are some pieces left out but that is the basic idea. It seems like I€™m going to have write custom pieces for each step.
It does not seem like there is any advantage to using SSIS. Should I give up now and stick to writing windows services for stuff like this?
I could just write a specific piece for each table but the only difference is the table name.
I need to determine the top 20 most frequent occurences of a value in a specific field using SQL.
My table structure...
enddt datetime(8)
status varchar(20)
when enddt time equal to server time.
I want to change status field to expired.
What is the easy way to do this?.
enddt status
8/22/2005 7:00:00 PM expired
9/22/2005 8:30:00 PM expired
10/30/2005 7:30:00 PM live
11/22/2005 9:30:00 PM live
I completely forgot how to do this. I want one of my groups in the matrix to take its week number (1-7) as Monday-Sunday.
so it would kind of be like this:
=IIF(Fields!DayOfWeek.Value=2,"Mon",
ELSE(Fields!DayOfWeek.Value=3,"Tues",
Else(Fields!DayOfWeek.Value=4,"Wed",
etc etc
Am i doing this right, or am i off??
If I have a 64 bit version of SQL 2005 installed, will "select @@version" indicate it is a 64 bit version? If not, how do I determine such? Thanks in advance.

I have a column in my report that i want to show percentage change from the previous year to this year. So i enter all kinds of different type of formats for the formula, and keep getting the wrong answers or error messeges. Here's what i have tried recently:
=SUM((Fields!LYTD_Amount.Value - Fields!YTD_Amount.Value) (Fields!YTD_Amount.Value*100))
Its pretty much Last year to date Minues Year to Date , Divided by Year to Date, Multiplied by 100.
any suggestions? Everytime i try to put an aggregate in the box, its always tricky.

For example, does it make sure that the id given for SiteID does indeed exists. Can it link tables like JOIN in select statements? If not, is there any gains by creating them, such as performance?

I have a simple SQL table. The data looks like this:
products_ID----category----product_local
1----CORE----0
2----BASE----0
3----BRANCH----1
4----LEAF----3
I need to create a SQL statement that produces all category items where that ROW's products_ID is not found in ANY product_local in the table. So in the table above only the category BASE and LEAF would be printed because their products_ID are not found in any product_local in the table.
TIA as I am completely stuck!
