Working on partitioning a few large tables. One of the tables included a text column and the €œTEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]€? clause which would prevent the partitioning of this table. After some research we found that the data was legacy and no longer used. We updated the column on the affected rows to NULLS and altered the column to a VARCHAR(20)
I then attempted to run the ALTER TABLE SWITCH and I encountered the error
Msg 4947, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE SWITCH statement failed. There is no identical index in source table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresultsjoe' for the index 'PKIDX_testSummary' in target table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresults_part'.
After a lot of grief and testing I determined that the message was bogus and the real issue is that the 'sys.tables' still has €œlob_data_space_id€? with a value of 1 for this table.
I created a copy of the table with the text column and the "TEXTIMAGE_ON", then altered the column to a varchar and another table with just the varchar column and no "TEXTIMAGE_ON" spoecified. After copying the data from the original table, I tried to run the Alter Switch. It failed once again for the table with the text column that was altered to varchar, but it worked for the table that had the column specified as varchar from the start.
All other things have been checked and the two source tables in this test are identical execpt for the Text column specification. The alter column changes the definition of the column, but how would you remove the €œlob_data_space_id€? setting, since it appears that this value is causing my issues, is there anyway to update the table in place. I know I can BCP the data out, but that would take too long and would defeat the advantage of using the alter switch method.
BOL States:
The allow updates option is still present in the sp_configure stored procedure, although its functionality is unavailable in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (the setting has no effect). In SQL Server 2005, direct updates to the system tables are not supported. This means we cannot update the table manually.
When i am trying to update the data inside the ' sys.sql_modules' view, i am facing the following error:- 'Ad hoc updates to system catalogs are not allowed.' Is there any alternate way to update the data inside the ' sys.sql_modules' view?
Hi, I was trying to run an insert statement which has subquery, But it is returning the error like this.. Subqueries are not allowed in this context. Only scalar expressions are allowed. -------------- Is there a way to reparse the insert statement without have to assign the subquery to a temp value and insert it? thanks.. Here is my SQL.. insert into admincriteria values (nextID,(select id from nodetable where description like 'Example - Quality Analytics'),8071,2,'Failures by Customer',2,0,0)
Hi Guru,When I ran my adhoc script below it generated only 45000 reads or 4seconds but when I wrapped it into procedure it took about two minutesor millions of reads. The parameters calling both adhoc and proc areindeed the same. I'm pretty 99.9% sure that the proc does not recompilebecause I don't mix up between DDL and DML, no temp tables or any thingto cause proc to recompile. The big difference is adhoc used index scanfor 45% but proc used bookmark lookup for 75%. Why it's so differencesince they both returned the same results?Please help...Silaphet,Below is my code,DECLARE

We got third party software, we are using adhoc queries more for the Applications (i am checking the DB Dashboard, it is showing as 97% CPU for adhoc queries). Could any one suggest how to tune SQL Server (at server level) for adhoc queries, we can not change the code now.
Let me know how to improve the SQL Server, whenever 3rd party applications use adhoc queries more?
Hi !!We are developing an application where we need a Query tool which allows customer to do Ad-Hoc or random query.. something similar to lets say http://salebyowner.com/advancedSearch.phpWe have few more options than this on which customer can do search. I don't think dynamic query in C# code or something like that is going to help me. Am I right? Do we have to use any type of query tool or something for doing this?
Okay... We have a SQL2K database that has about 500 tables or so. It is normalized to a reasonable level and enforces all relationships with PK/FKs, not triggers. Hence, for a database-minded person it is fairly easy to read (as easy as a 500+ table database can be!).
Our users need adhoc query capabilities. Our report writer is simply overwhelmed. He doesn't need to be spending time writing a report that is intended to be run once.
I expect the best alternative would be to use some sort of adhoc reporting tool that is based off meta data. We (the DBAs) could be responsible for maintaining the meta data and STILL have a manhour savings over developing all these reports.
Here's the catch... We are on a TIGHT budget (aerospace industry is still reeling a bit). Is anyone using a product or aware of a product that might be just the ticket for us? We have been investigating a product by LogiXML called LGX AdHoc (http://www.logixml.com/products/AdHoc/adhoc.htm). Looks promising. Anyone use or familar with it?
I am trying to write a query that counts how many clients were part of program at the first of each month.To make it simple, the data comes out of one table which looks like this:
Client # Program Start_date End_date 1 Fruit eater 03-27-2014 01-10-2015 2 Veggi eater 01-16-2015 null 3 Veggi eater 12-05-2013 04-16-2015 4 Fruit eater 10-01-2014 11-30-2014
Currently I have a very ugly solution that I know is not the best one:
Select sum(convert(int,Jan_2014))as Tiers_in_Jan_2014 , sum(convert(int,Feb_2014)) as Tiers_in_Feb_2014 , sum(convert(int,Mar_2014 )) as Tiers_in_Mar_2014 , sum(convert(int,Apr_2014 ))as Tiers_in_Apr_2014
i want to know whether it is possible to develop ADHOC reports using SSRS 2005 and OLAP Cubes. the requirement is the user should be able to select the columns he wants to see in the report.
I think this requires Dynamic RDL generation. It is very urgent. i have to give POC to the client on this. Any help in this regad is appreciated.
Hi, Using Reporting Service 2005, I want to give User an Interface where user can directly paste sql query like - select * from employee. and corrosponding data will be displayed to user. Is there are any way? Thanks, Ashwin
I have a project that consists of a SQL db with an Access front end as the user interface. Here is the structure of the table on which this question is based:
Code Block
create table #IncomeAndExpenseData ( recordID nvarchar(5)NOT NULL, itemID int NOT NULL, itemvalue decimal(18, 2) NULL, monthitemvalue decimal(18, 2) NULL ) The itemvalue field is where the user enters his/her numbers via Access. There is an IncomeAndExpenseCodes table as well which holds item information, including the itemID and entry unit of measure. Some itemIDs have an entry unit of measure of $/mo, while others are entered in terms of $/yr, others in %/yr.
For itemvalues of itemIDs with entry units of measure that are not $/mo a stored procedure performs calculations which converts them into numbers that has a unit of measure of $/mo and updates IncomeAndExpenseData putting these numbers in the monthitemvalue field. This stored procedure is written to only calculate values for monthitemvalue fields which are null in order to avoid recalculating every single row in the table.
If the user edits the itemvalue field there is a trigger on IncomeAndExpenseData which sets the monthitemvalue to null so the stored procedure recalculates the monthitemvalue for the changed rows. However, it appears this trigger is also setting monthitemvalue to null after the stored procedure updates the IncomeAndExpenseData table with the recalculated monthitemvalues, thus wiping out the answers.
How do I write a trigger that sets the monthitemvalue to null only when the user edits the itemvalue field, not when the stored procedure puts the recalculated monthitemvalue into the IncomeAndExpenseData table?
Yesterday i face a strange SQL Server 2000 behaviour :-(
I had a query that was wrapped inside a stored procedure, as usual. Suddenly, the stored procedure execution time raised from 9 secs to 80.
So to understand where the problem was i cut and pasted the sp body's into a new query analyzer window an then executed it again. Speed back to 9 secs. Tried stored procedure again, and speed again set to 80 secs.
Tried to recompile sp. Nothing. Tried to restart SQL Server. Nothing. Tried to DROP & RE-CREATE sp. Done! Speed again at 9 secs.
My collegue asked me "why?", but i had no words. :confused: Do you have any explanation?
I have 10 oracle o/p tables. I have to transfer data in monthly or adhoc basis. Each table will have millions of records. How to transfer Oracle to SQL Server 2005. Which is the best way to transfer the data.
Hi Gurus, We are planning to user SQL server 2005 reporting services in our project, for this we are doing a Proof of concept exercise to evaluate if SSRS 2005 will be good for our project. For this we are trying if we can make dashboard or composite reports (combine 4-5 reports to create one report). Also if we can make this dashboard ad-hoc. As we are already using the Ad-Hoc reporting capability of SSRS 2005 we wanted to check if dashboards can also be created using Ad-hoc reporting feature.
Please let me know if you any information or pointers for this.
I am looking for a solution for my customers who use the 2005 report models to create detail list reports. Â All I am able to find on 2012 are pivot type reports, SSAS tabular and cubes. Â It seems that MS assumes that all clients need statistical or summary reports. Â My users need to be able to create adhoc lists of data from multiple view and tables using drag and drop. Any third party distributable tool which could be used for adhoc reporting?
Hi... I have data that i am getting through a dbf file. and i am dumping that data to a sql server... and then taking the data from the sql server after scrubing it i put it into the production database.. right my stored procedure handles a single plan only... but now there may be two or more plans together in the same sql server database which i need to scrub and then update that particular plan already exists or inserts if they dont...
this is my sproc... ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_Import_Plan] @ClientId int, @UserId int = NULL, @HistoryId int, @ShowStatus bit = 0-- Indicates whether status messages should be returned during the import.

Hello, When I am seeing SQL Server 2005 Management studio Server Dashboard> I am seeing my(USERS) databases and msdb database usage is very small % of in CPU Usage(%), Logical IO Performed (%) Usage pie chart.
90% of Total cpu usage is showing for Adhoc Queries. what excatly this means in Dashboard? if application uses more than it would have shown in Database level or not?
sicerely this dashboard is good, if any one is watching daily, please advice their experiences here.

whenever I start the windows service I get the error: Cannot open user default database. Login failed. so I am going to visual studio and close the connection. then I close the web browser, and the windows service succeed connect to database. but then, after windows service is connected, I open the web browser application and fails to login because the login system using the same database of windows service, and since the connection is being used by windows service, login is impossible.
Do you know how I can allow 2 connections at the same time for the same database? what are the risks to do that? and how do I handle this risks. thanks alot
