A Student Would Like To Know What A Database Administrator Does.. Thank You
Jan 18, 2008
I'm a kid and I'd like to know what kind of work a database administrator does. It would be great to learn from a real database administrator how you spend your typical day at the office. What are some of your main duties? Thanks so much in advance.
I have a csv that contains attendance records that I get daily from a 3rd party grade book solution. I need to import directly into the attend table in our student database.
The file is setup as follows, School Year, school number, student_id, absence date, absence code, course number, section number.
I need to check the student schedule to see if they are scheduled for that class when the import runs. So if they had a schedule change in the middle of the day it won't post attend to a dropped class.
I have done something similar to this before with the way I export teachers out to our grade book. I have it check the master schedule to see if the teacher is teaching at least one class, that way it won't export tutors and office staff to the grade book. I used the script below to do that but not sure who to apply it to a bulk insert.
Code: Script Used to export teachers note last four lines, checks master USE [GSchool] GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
[Code] ....
Secondly I need to check the date of the record and overwrite a record if one already exists for that exact course and section for that student, I need this because if they make changes to a previous day from absence un excused to excused I need to get rid of the unexcused by overwriting it.
One more thing that would be nice but is optional, is there a way to send log of errors on the import via email?
We are trying to set up SQLAgent Proxy account. If the SQLServer service id is a domain admin, do we still have to add it to the local administrators group?
Please help! I am new in SQL Server 2000 Administration. My manager had ask me to manage a SQL Server, but Windows Adminstrator refuse to give me Local Admin rights. I only have sa account to login to databases. I don't know any excuses or reasons to give to Windows Adminstrator so that he can give me the local admin rights. If any one have this answer, please help. Thank you.
Hi,At my company we've got a stubborn database administrator who wants the SQL Server to be restarted each night. This has a performance-cause.Is it necesarry to restart the SQL Server regularly?With regards,ThaYoung1!
I would like to setup the membership and role in web administrator tool, however, under Security section, I got the error message of "Unable to connect to SQL database". I tried to run aspnet_regsql.exe to edit the config(C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727>aspnet_regsql.exe), however, it still shows this error message. I am using web developer 2008 and SQL Server 2005. Please advice me how to tackle this problem.
I have an application in dotnet that uses sql express. This application will be deployed on the user computer and I have to find a way to prevent the user to be able to read the data and access the structure of the database.
Is there a way to do this ? Even if the user is a local administrator of the computer ?
I represent a software development house and we have developed a client server system based on SQL Server. Most of our customers have already purchased Enterprise License of SQL Server, therefore they own the SA Login and Password. We are bound to attach our Database with their Server on their machine.
My question is how can we stop a System Administrator of SQL Server to view our Database Structure, Queries, Data installed on their SQL Server on their machine.
Our database structure is a trade secret and we cant reveal the structure to the client.
please answer this question by email to me at farhandotcom@gmail.com
i'm currently a student in computer information sciences, and i wanted to give my studying some more focus thus choosing dba. now i'd like to dba but be as broad as possible when i first start out my career. i know some programming languages and recently finished a C# book for doing .net development and a ASP.net book for scripting. but where should i go from here? should i just start studying ms sql server? what about a microsoft certification? i'm very curious to know where the next step in my studying should be, so anyone who was in my shoes, i'd love to hear any information you have to offer. TIA
Hi,I'm finishing up a beginning SQL class where we learned on an Oracledatabase and the transition to working on SQL Server is easy. The next moreadvanced course will be in PL/SQL, but I know I will be working on SQLServer in the workplace, so my question is if I should take this course.Will I benefit from the basic philosophies that will be covered, or will itjust make a transition for me more difficult? Will it be partly a waste oftime and money and I'd be better served getting a book and self teachingmyself? I know that in a greater sense learning something isn't necessarilya waste, but I mean from the perspective of my goal of being able to use SqlServer, will this course be useful?thanks.
I am starting a class on SQL Server, and my school wants me to builddb's either on campus or remotely at my home connecting to their SQLServer Enterprise.Will I be okay to use Developer Edition at home to connect with anEnterprise-licensed SQL Server on campus, to build databases,sprocs, .net apps that connect to the database stored on my school'sserver?I would rather avoid the Express edition.thanks
I need to calculate average of each student and then get the highest.
My try:
Code: SELECT Students.StudentId,Students.StudentName,AVG(Grades.Grade) AS avg_grade FROM Students s JOIN Grades g ON Grades.StudentId =Students.StudentId GROUP BY Students.StudentId, Students.StudentName
ORDER BY avg_grade LIMIT 1 FROM Students;
I encounter problem with this code, maybe it's Completely wrong...
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Student]( [StudentNumber] [varchar](50) NOT NULL, [Name] [char](50) NOT NULL, [Contact] [int] NOT NULL, [Address] [char](50) NOT NULL, [DateOfBirth] [datetime] NOT NULL, [YearEnrolled] [int] NOT NULL, [Year] [int] NOT NULL;
And insert the following data:
INSERT INTO Student VALUES('IT123456X', 'Ahmad Adam','05-18-1997', '33 Mangis Rod', 19970518, 2013, 1); INSERT INTO Student VALUES('IT334455U', 'Mary Tan', '01-23-1996', '51 Koon Seng Road', 23-01-1996, 2012, 1); INSERT INTO Student VALUES('BS123456X', 'Samuel Lee', '03-30-1997', '2 Joo Chiat Lane', 30-03-1997, 2013, 1); INSERT INTO Student VALUES('BS234234Z', 'Nathaniel Koh', '12-08-1997', '5 Stll Road', 08-12-1997, 2013, 1); INSERT INTO Student VALUES('BS987987F', 'Siti Faridah', '07-04-1995', '3 Duku Road', 04-07-1995, 2011, 3)
How do i calculate the age and how can i group by the StudentNumber like 'IT%'
We have SQL database now a days we are planing to update our students ID Records but i don't know the exact query for this. Table format is below
StudentID Name 500132253/Prep Aslam 112344883/Prep Ali 451132537/Prep Ahmed
Now i want to update only the grade from prep to KG-1 without update the registration number only prep to kg-1. in one column there is student register number and after slash the grade.
I am stumped on a set-based approach for this one.
A cursor approach is straightforward enough, but i want to avoid that.
Here's my table:
create table StudentScores ( id int primary key identity(1,1), student_id int not null, score int not null )
with some sample data:
insert into StudentScores (student_id, score) select 1, 10 union all select 1, 29 union all select 1, 50 union all select 1, 53 union all select 1, 45 union all select 1, 10 union all select 1, 29 union all select 1, 50 union all select 1, 53 union all select 1, 45 union all select 1, 88 union all select 2, 23 union all select 2, 54 union all select 2, 55 union all select 2, 34 union all select 2, 56 union all select 2, 78 union all select 2, 23 union all select 2, 54 union all select 2, 55 union all select 2, 34 union all select 2, 56 union all select 2, 78 union all select 2, 23 union all select 2, 54 union all select 2, 55 union all select 2, 34 union all select 2, 56 union all select 2, 78 union all select 2, 98
What I want is, for each student, what is their 90th percentile score?
For a given single student, one possibility would be:
declare @studentid int set @studentid = 2 select top 1 @studentid as student_id, a.score as [90th percentile score] from ( select top 90 percent score from StudentScores where student_id = @studentid order by score asc ) as a order by a.score desc
But I want this for all students, and not use a cursor.
I am trying to find out the the Average number of contact hours per student. in Reporting Services 2005. The contact hours is the in the Totaltime field
Is this formula correct
=Sum(Fields!TotalTime.Value)/Avg(Fields!TotalTime.Value) is in the =Fields!StateServices.Value Group
i am having problem putting this query to calculate students grade using the condition and legend bellow.
WHEN EXAMS BETWEEN 75 AND 100 THEN 'A' WHEN EXAMS BETWEEN 70 AND 74 THEN 'AB' WHEN EXAMS BETWEEN 65 AND 69 THEN 'B' WHEN EXAMS BETWEEN 60 AND 64 THEN 'BC'
In my query, I am showing Student Record and also want to retrieve the last class attended by the student using JOIN to the table (ClassHistory).
Master ID Student_Name 1 Arindam 2 Brenda 3 Callie
(ClassHistory) ID Class Year 1 4 2003 1 5 2004 1 6 2005 2 4 2003 2 5 2004 3 4 2003
DESIRED RESULTSET ID Student_Name Class Record 1 Arindam 6 2 Brenda 5 3 Callie 4
The result is like - Arindam last class was Class 6, while Brenda was in Class 5 and Callie was in class 4.
Please note that the query will b part of a larger query and the Class record to be retrieved from ClassHistory if possible need to be retrieved through JOIN.
I can fetch the counts for total present and absent
Query i have tried is
Declare @StudentId Uniqueidentifier ='0B2D4D41-8D33-4D79-A981-03E0F093F458' Begin select A.StudentId ,A.Date,Count(Date)Total,B.Guid,
[Code] ....
AS result of this query i get the data.Present count and Absent count from date inserted in Dailyattendance tables.
SO my problem is if the student have promoted to next class then by this query it will count the before year also how do i need to calculate the count according to the Class StartDate and Enddate as i mention in the Class Details table what will be the query.

I am setting up Web Data Administrator from MS on a Windows 2003/IIS6 server connecting to our SQL 2000 boxes. The server has .Net 1.1 SP1. I have set this up on a Windows 2000/IIS5 server and it worked but was slow. It has .Net 1.1 and has been patched to SP1. When I got the new copy setup on IIS6, IE would not work with it but Firefox does. (I love the irony!) Going back to IIS5 copy, it doesn't work now in IE but it does in Firefox. Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas?
I just now installed sqlserver 2005 express. I am connecting to it via oracles 'sqldeveloper' using sourceforge jtds jdbc driver. I can connect to the server but I cannot logon probably because I dont know any user id or password. I can't find any reference to the default uid/password in the server 'help'.
Hello, I use SQL Server 2005 Express and VB.Net for my client server application. From a client machine, if the user is logged on as Windows Administrator, my application connects to the database server just fine. If the client is logged on as a non-administrator, then my app cannot connect. Here is my connection string:
Hi I am using Web Developer 2005 Express. I am trying to install the SQL Web Data Administrator (setup.msi), but it gives an error message saying that I need to install Framework 1.1, BUT I already have version 2, so no-go for me there. Also I have been trying to install the Cassini version with zero luck. When I run the build.bat file I get the csc and gacutil errors. However, when I set up the Environmental variable PATH within My ComputerPropertiesAdvancedEnvironmental Variablesuser Variables as per the instructions on the Cassini discussion forum, no change, I do not get 200 bucks or pass GO .Please tell me I am being stupid
I've installed this on my server and I can control a SQL Database located on a remote server (networked together via Cross Over) but when accessing from the Web it keeps prompting me with a Windows Log In.
Does anyone know how I can prevent this so that the web page displays and we can enter our SQL information to log in using SQL Authentication.
