ActiveX, DTS, And Other Confusing Instructions
Feb 15, 2005
Hi everybody.
I've been looking on-line for about a day now and can't find what I'm looking for. I don't know much about ActiveX and even less about using it in a DTS package. If you guys could help me out be telling me what to use/give a few minimal examples I can figure the rest out. I just can't find enough info on the web to do what I want.
I'll describe what I've got, what I'm trying to do with it, and we'll see what you guys think.
What I've got:
A table that stores To, Subject, MsgText, MsgHTML, and FileAttachment locations.
What I'd Like to do:
Write out the info in the table into a text file and then copy it to the Pickup folder to be sent. Now, I know DTS has an e-mail task, but the Dynaprops/e-mail task are being flaky. The information in the E-Mail doesn't always seem to update like I'd like it.
How I was planning on doing it:
Write an ActiveX script to Create the E-mail, store it in the DB, and then Write it out to the txt file to be sent.
I think this'd be a good way to do it, but then again I could be wrong. Maybe use something else? Please help. I could use it.
Your help is more than appreciated.
Thanks!

My host sent these instructions, think they will work?
To access your SQL Server you can use your choice of database management software, including Microsoft Access, Visual InterDev, or the SQL Enterprise Manager.
If you are using Microsoft Access or Visual InterDev you will be connecting to the SQL Server via an ODBC connection, which requires you to make a Data Source Name (DSN) on your local computer.
If you have a Microsoft Access database, and you use the Microsoft SQL Upsizing Wizard to export your database into SQL, the Upsizing Wizard will assist you in the process of creating your ODBC connection.
To create a SQL DSN:
1. Log on to your hosting account's control panel at http://sahcinfo.org/admin 2. Click "Database Connectivity."
3. Choose "Create DSN."
4. Choose "Microsoft SQL Driver" from the Type drop-down list.
5. Enter a name for your DSN in the DSN field. It can be anything you want it to be, such as "Orders" or "MyDatabase." The Filename field is not required for SQL.
6. In the SQL IP Address field, enter the SQL Server name.
7. Enter your SQL user name in the SQL User Name field.
8. Click Submit.
To access the SQL Server using the SQL Enterprise Manager:
1. Open your SQL Enterprise Manager software. This is not supplied by Web.com.
2. Right-click on "SQL Server Group", then select "New SQL Server Registration"
3. Once the dialog box is open, fill in the fields. In the server field, type in your SQL Server name.
4. Type in the login information with your username and password.
5. Once all the information is entered click "Register." This will make contact with our SQL Server, and you will be able to add tables, manipulate your information and work on your database as you wish.
Please note that Web.com Technical Support will only troubleshoot connectivity to the SQL database, and cannot support issues with third-party software.
Web.com has also created a SQL 2000 User Guide to walk you through the process of setting up your account and database connections. To view or print it, go to http://64.226.3.32/article.asp?article=14689&p=1001

I'm doing a data conversion project, and am considering the possibility of using Reporting Services to create the required XML export files. Can anyone recommend some good documentation on using Reporting Services 2005 for creating XML files? The online docs are not that helpful.

Can anyone suggest a good book or tutorial on installing Sql Server Express as an embedded database with an application? My company makes a software product sold in retail and we sell 10,000+ units per year. I have been going over the MSDN site, these forums, Technet etc. and I haven't found a good, inclusive instruction set on installing SQL Server Express with zero user intervention. This is very important for this type of application. The underlying database needs to be invisible to the user. I have looked at several in-process databases including SQL Server Compact and VistaDB, but they have shortcomings that make them not a good fit for this application. They are definitely much easier to install, though.
I found the MSDN articles on "Embedding Sql Server Express in your Customer Application" that talks about creating a wrapper to install SQL Express and the application. It just seems like there are lots of security issues (with Vista and UAC) that have to be dealt with, configuration issues, issues with creating databases in code once your application starts, etc.
I am looking for a good technical reference on doing this type of work.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Argh, I'm really stuck with my SP! I'm not really used to them yet.
I have an advertiser who has multiple advertisements. I need to return a list of adverts with thier first advert.

Please help me out on log backups.
What happens when 2 log backups of the same db happen simultaneously?
Hypothetically:
One Backup Log job run by SQL Server agent(xp_SQLmaint) every 60 minutes & one Log backup run by Backup Exec every 59 minutes.
Is this a dumb idea and will it cause restore problems based on LSN's contained in the 2 separate backup sets?
Thanks

heh,heh,heh...cute title, eh? I kill me...
Anyway, The following two select statements return exactly the same results, and utilize exactly the same server resources to run (according to the generated explain execution plans).
The where clause(s) in each are designed to exclude rows that are "empty" according to the designer of the db (don't ask...*rolleyes*).
My question is this...which way would y'all code the select. I have always been "trained" to NOT use negative logic (heh,heh,heh), so originally wrote the select (which, in effect, translates to "get me everything but the empty rows") as:SELECTOSID AS OSID,
[Year] AS QtrYear,
1 AS QuarterNo,
QEPS4 AS EPS,
QSales4 AS Sales,
QInc4 AS Income,
CONVERT(varchar(10), QDate4, 101) AS EarningsReportDate
FROM dbo.RSMsi
WHERE ((QEPS4 <> 0.001 AND QEPS4 <> 0.0)
OR QSales4 <> 0.0
OR QInc4 <> 0.0
OR QDate4 <> '01/01/1900')but in retrospect, I think that's an ugly where clause, and think folks will look at it and think "WTF??? what does THAT mean?". So, I re-wrote the select as if it was looking for the empty rows, then slapped a "NOT" in front of the where clause to negate it in order to STILL say "Get me everything, but NOT the empty rows", as follows:SELECTOSID AS OSID,
[Year] AS QtrYear,
1 AS QuarterNo,
QEPS4 AS EPS,
QSales4 AS Sales,
QInc4 AS Income,
CONVERT(varchar(10), QDate4, 101) AS EarningsReportDate
FROM dbo.RSMsi
WHERE NOT ((QEPS4 = 0.001 OR QEPS4 = 0.0)
AND QSales4 = 0.0
AND QInc4 = 0.0
AND QDate4 = '01/01/1900')whatcha think y'all? It's a style issue, I know...just curious for consensus' sake. Thanks!

I have 5 tables, the first 4 are responsible for getting wines with all their associated info:
Areas - Regions - Wineries - Wines
The last table is an artwork table, and both wineries and wines can have artwork associated with them. How do I integrate a join on the 'Artwork' table for both wineries and wines, taking into account that sometimes (for a single record) there is art for both winery and wine, sometimes for one, sometimes there is none?
I think I understand the 'ON' statement, for instance:
Wineries LEFT JOIN Artwork
ON Wineries.winery_id = Artwork.artwork_winery_id
'and'
Wines LEFT JOIN Artwork
ON Wines.wine_id = artwork_wine_id
But how do I integrate that into the following SELECT statement?
SELECT
area_id, area_name,
region_id, region_area_id, region_name,
winery_id, winery_region_id, winery_name,
wine_id, wine_winery_id, wine_name,
artwork_id, artwork_name, artwork_wine_id, artwork_winery_id
FROM Areas INNER JOIN
Regions ON Areas.area_id = Regions.region_area_id
INNER JOIN Wineries ON
Regions.region_id = Wineries.winery_region_id
INNER JOIN Wines ON
Wineries.winery_id = Wines.wine_winery_id
ORDER BY winery_name ASC;

I have the following scenerio configured in sqlserver -
Windows group Login User Role
domainAuditConfig domainAuditConfig domainAuditConfigUser AuditConfigRole
domainLookupConfig domainLookupConfg domainLookupConfigUser LookupConfigRole
domainuser belongs to both domainAuditConfig and domainLookupConifg windows groups.
When domainuser logs in, he will have both AuditConfigRole and LookupConfigRole roles.
If I reconfigure the above using loginless user, how can the user takes on both roles at the same time?
It seems to me that the user needs to know what role he needs at the time and run the appropriate EXECUTE AS command. Is this true? I can see the benefits of using EXECUTE AS when we are testing our code. But in a production environment, how can the end user know who to EXECUTE AS?
Does it only make sense to use EXECUTE AS from within an application?
Thanks

I have a gridview that is very basic and list name, address, ......., and a URL.
If I have this url in the database I have no problem http://www.lubbockisd.org/earlychildhood/
yet when I place this URL http://www.lubbockisd.org/erlychildhood/stubbs.htm
It triggers this error on my localhost server and my production server.
Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Data.ConstraintException: Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints.
I've made changes to datatypes with no success, made sure my length of data type was set long enough with no success.
Which datatype is best for a URL in sql express?
Any ideas why this happens with such a minor change?
Thanks

Hi,I have a table for storing my picture albums here it is:CREATE TABLE [UserAlbum] ( [ID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [UserID] [int] default(0) , [AlbumName] [nvarchar] (100) NULL , [Audience] [int] default(0) , [Date_added] [smalldatetime] NULL , CONSTRAINT PK_CmmNet_userAlbum_ID PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( ID )) ON [PRIMARY]GO
it has a field called "audience" as the name defines i want to choose who will see my albumsit is integer and as follows:0 value=everyone1=friends only2=private
as i started to write a query for it i came into this problem: for exampleif i write SELECT * FROM UserAlbum where audience=1 then only friends can see the infowhat happens to everyone with value of 0?when i set it to 0, friends should also be able to see the info because it is set for everybody
i noticed i should use "in cluase" like thisSELECT * FROM UserAlbum where audience in ('0','1') > so in this way both everyone and also friends can see the info
or maybe i should add 3 different fields for private,public,friends
it seems to be simple but at the same time harddoes anyone have a suggestion?

Hey everyone,I've got a problem and I can't tell if it's in the stored procedure I'm calling, or it's with the Binding it to the datalist.The error is Syntax error converting datetime from character string.The code it crashes on is:Line 100: //Bind data
Line 101: dg_details.DataSource = reader;
Line 102: dg_details.DataBind();
Line 103: dg_details.Visible = true;
and my store procedure I'm calling is: ALTER PROCEDURE coglej.GetEventsForDate
@eventdate datetime,
@eventowner varchar (50)
AS
IF DATEDIFF(ww,GetDate(),@eventdate ) > 2
BEGIN
PRINT 'Getting EB event price.'
SELECT dbo.events.event_date, dbo.locations.city, dbo.locations.state, dbo.locations.name, dbo.locations.address1, dbo.locations.address2, dbo.locations.zip,
dbo.skus.sku_id, dbo.skus.event_type, dbo.skus.price, dbo.skus.slots_available
FROM dbo.events INNER JOIN
dbo.locations ON dbo.events.location_id = dbo.locations.location_id INNER JOIN
dbo.skus ON dbo.events.sku_id = dbo.skus.sku_id
WHERE (dbo.events.event_date = CONVERT(datetime, '@eventdate')) AND (dbo.skus.owner = @eventowner) AND (dbo.skus.price_type = 'Early')
END
ELSE
BEGIN
PRINT 'Getting regular event price.'
SELECT dbo.events.event_date, dbo.locations.city, dbo.locations.state, dbo.locations.name, dbo.locations.address1, dbo.locations.address2, dbo.locations.zip,
dbo.skus.sku_id, dbo.skus.event_type, dbo.skus.price, dbo.skus.slots_available
FROM dbo.events INNER JOIN
dbo.locations ON dbo.events.location_id = dbo.locations.location_id INNER JOIN
dbo.skus ON dbo.events.sku_id = dbo.skus.sku_id
WHERE (dbo.events.event_date = CONVERT(datetime, '@eventdate')) AND (dbo.skus.owner = '@eventowner') AND (dbo.skus.price_type = 'Regular')
ENDWhat's cause the crash are the quotes around @eventdate. However, without them, it doesn't return all the rows (if any) and if I have them in, I get this error. The odd thing is that when I copy and paste one of the SELECT statements into the VWD sql window and replace the variables with the same values I'm using at runtime, everything runs fine.Anyone have any ideas?Thanks in advance,--Joel

Hi,
I have a SQL2k STD with SP3 installed.
Currently, only one database db_XYZ is there. The server has been started up since 07/03/2003 16:00 pm. But in the sql server current log: "Starting up database 'db_XYZ'." info is spreading from that time (16:00 pm) to this morning 10:00am at an interval from every 1 minute to 4 minutes.
Why need to 'Starting up' this database so much times?
This reminds me that this 'Starting up' is kind of 'abused' in many other servers. Any idea?
thanks

Ok, i have been trying to restore the company helpdesk server since our move at the start of the year and after it was sitting doing nothing for a good six months or so.
I finally got the server going (after extensive messing about on our test box), but i'll set out the scenario for you:
Test Server: XW4000 (win2k Advanced Server + SQL Server 2k)
Main Helpdesk Server :BK_MAN5_INV (NT4 SP6 + SQL Server 2k)
Client Machines: BK_CI_03006 and BK_CI_03010
Now for the problem. Both the test server and the main helpdesk server have been configured in the exact same way, and BK_CI_03006 has no problems connecting to either server. However, BK_CI_03010 can only connect to the test server and not the main helpdesk server.
We are planning on removing the test server as soon as this is sorted, but i have no idea why there is this problem with the machine.
If anyone can provide any input on this at all, i would be really grateful.
Cheers
Alan

I have a spreadheet that has a column that is formatted by default to General and contains alpha numeric data.
1008
1008G
1008H
etc.
When I open the spreadsheet any field in the coumn that is purely numeric is right justified by default and the alpha numeric ones are left justified.
When I import the data the fields containing numeric only data come thru as NULL? But the alpha numeric comes thru OK.
The destination field in my table in varchar(20)
I have tried various formats including Text in the spreadsheet but I still get the numeric fields coming thru as NULL.
Any points please?
Thanks

I am looking to query one table where the matching information in the related table needs to be a subset of the data - but not always a complete set (and there may be added information in the related table). For example, if I have a table of Albums and I want to match songs to albums as follows:
Albums
Name CHAR_TYPE CHAR
Rock guitarists Genre Rock
Rock guitarists Instrument Guitar
Great Guitar Instrument Guitar
Rock and Blues Genre Rock
Rock and Blues Genre Blues
Songs
Name CHAR_TYPE CHAR
Purple Haze Genre Rock
Purple Haze Instrument Guitar
Purple Haze Artist Hendrix
Red House Genre Blues
Red House Instrument Guitar
Red House Artist Hendrix
Stairway to heaven Genre Rock
Stairway to heaven Instrument Guitar
For this query, the results should be
Album Song
Rock guitarists Purple Haze & Staiway to Heaven
Great Guitar All 3
Rock and Blues All 3
Everything I've tried either incudes extra songs (Rock Guitar includes Red House) OR Eliminates entire albums (everything else works, but rock and Blues produces no results
Thanks in advance for any sugestions.

I am new to MS SQL coding and I am having a problem with date conversions. In PL/SQL, I could convert numeric months into character months in their own columns by using the DECODE function. An example would be:
DECODE(to_char(M.My_Table, 'MM'),
'04', 'Apr', '05', 'May', '06', 'Jun', '07',
'Jul', '08', 'Aug', '09', 'Sep', '10', 'Oct',
'11', 'Nov', '12', 'Dec', '01', 'Jan', '02',
'Feb', '03', 'Mar'),
DECODE(to_char(M.My_Table, 'MM'),
'04', 'Q1', '05', 'Q1', '06', 'Q1',
'07', 'Q2', '08', 'Q2', '09', 'Q2',
'10', 'Q3', '11', 'Q3', '12', 'Q3',
'01', 'Q4', '02', 'Q4', '03', 'Q4'),
How does one convert something like this in MS SQL?

We have a remote business client who has a proxy server setup and this translates into receiving a 407 proxy authentication blocking error when attempting to download the report builder application for deployment off the report server which is housed locally with us. The proxy server does not allow them to download application type files off another site. At the moment, they would not like to disable the proxy for these users to allow them to deploy the application on their client or add the report server as a trusted site. Is there a method by which Report Builder can be locally installed on the client pc instead of online only with it knowing the correct report server to access and then still launch correctly when the report builder button is pressed through report manager?
I am not a web application guru by any means and we have tried to replicate the oneclick deployment and what occurs in the local settings/apps/2.0 subdirectories, but the application still attempts to download/install again. If we attempt to just launch the local executable on the client, report builder assumes the client pc (localhost) is the report server to access. Is there a method which will succeed?

Ok,
I need to select a list of products based on a complex criteria. First off, here is a list of the tables I am using and their function.
Dbo.Products – This table holds product names and information.
Dbo.Products_Attributes – This table holds a list of attributes for each product. It has a many to 1 relationship with Products. This table holds only 2 fields – ProductID and AttributeID
Dbo.Customers – This table holds basic customer information and some of the needed criteria for the product search.
Dbo.Customers_Attributes – This table contains a list of attributes that the customer needs in his/her products. This table has a many to 1 relationship with Customers and only has 2 fields, CustomerNum and AttributeID
Dbo.Attributes – This table contains all of the different attributes possible for our products to have. Each can be used by a customer when choosing criteria.
Background: Each attribute is a True / False. Either they want that attribute, or they do not care if they get it or not. This is where the hard part comes in. If a particular attribute is listed as needed in dbo.Customers_Attributes, then I do not want any records pulled from Products that DOES NOT have this attribute. On the other hand, if the attribute is NO listed in the customers_attributes list, it is assumed that the customer wants it. In other words, if there were NO attributes in the customers_attributes list, ALL products would be returned. Attributes listed in the customers_attributes table are “required� (no product will be returned that does not have what is in the list).
I hope I was clear enough… I had to change the table names a functions slightly because of some stupid policy about giving out too much proprietary information here.
If any of you know how to do the above with a subquery of some kind, please let me know.

This stuff makes no sense what so ever,
In the Books on Line of MSSQL2000
In "Adding a Member to a SQL Server Database Role"
There is this
"Note : When you add a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 login without a user account in the database to a SQL Server database role, SQL Server creates a user account in the database automatically, even if that Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 login cannot otherwise access the database."
I mean how can anyone add a login to a database role without making the login a user of the database.:shocked:
Also if it worked, a new fancy feature to add new logins??:eek:

I have some basic skill in SQL Server Management Studio Express already .
But , I still can't understand the exact meaning of ConnectionString.
connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Database1.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
code above is copied from a machine-generated app.config.
Questions are:
1.what do [[ | ]] and [[ ]]mean in AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Database1.mdf ??
2.what does User Instance mean? And if this it false, what will happen in my computer.
3.Some string I saw before contains InitialCatalog= Northwood. What are the differences between initialcatelog and attachdbfilename ?

Hi, I'm researching the possibility of housing permanent virtual SQL Server instances. Part of the research includes licensing and costs:
I have to say I am confused by two sources of material related to SQL Server virtualization licensing on Microsoft's website...
Source 1: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/faq.mspx , quote below:
Q. How do I license SQL Server 2005 for my virtual environments?
A. For Standard, Workgroup, and Enterprise, if you decide to license on a per processor basis, you must buy a SQL Server license for each virtual processor. For Enterprise Edition, you can also choose to license all physical processors in a box. This gives you rights to run SQL Server on unlimited number of virtual processors running on the same machine. For Server/CAL mode, for Standard and Workgroup, you must obtain SQL Server licenses for each Virtual Operating System Environment on which you run instances of SQL Server. However, for Enterprise, if you have a Server license for the physical Server, you may run unlimited instances of SQL Server in any Virtual Operating System Environment that you run on that same machine.
If you are using hardware partitioning on a multi-processor server, you get unlimited virtualization for SQL Server Enterprise Edition as long as all processors in that hardware partition are licensed. For example, if you have a hard partition of 10 physical processors on a 32-processor superdome server, 10 processor licenses of SQL Server 2005 give you rights to run free unlimited virtual machines with SQL Server on those 10 physical processors.
I came up with the following table-format explanation to make sense of it all:
Licensing Mode
Applies to
Number of licenses needed
To get this many standalone instances
Per processor per virtual
Standard, Workgroup, Enterprise
#virtual OSs *
#virtual CPUs
Standard, Workgroup:
#virtual OSs * up to 16 instances
Enterprise:
#virtual OSs * up to 50 instances
Per processor per physical
Enterprise
#physical CPUs
¥ virtual OSs * up to 50 instances
Per seat (aka Server + CAL) per virtual
Standard, Workgroup, Enterprise
#virtual OSs + S(users)
Standard, Workgroup:
#virtual OSs * up to 16 instances, among S(users)
Enterprise:
#virtual OSs * up to 50 instances, among S(users)
Per seat (aka Server + CAL) per physical
Enterprise
1 physical OS + S(users)
¥ virtual OSs * up to 50 instances, among S(users)
Where:
€œCPU€? is the number of CPUs as physically-recognized by the virtual OS or physical OS. CPUs enumerated by hyperthreading or dual-core processing and its corresponding host CPU are considered together one CPU. Refer to the Intel CPUCount utility for more information.
€œ¥ virtual OSs€? represents the theoretical maximum number of virtual machines supported on hardware of physical host.
€œS(users)€? represents the sum of unique users or devices that may or may not be concurrently connected at any time
Source 2: http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/userights , select "SQL Server", "-->", quotes below:
"Per Processor" page:
To run instances of the server software in virtual operating system environments on a server, you need a software license for each virtual processor that each of those virtual operating system environments uses. If a virtual operating system environment uses a fraction of a virtual processor, the fraction counts as a full virtual processor.
"Per Server/CAL" page:
For each server software license you assign, you may run, at any one time, one instance of the server software in one physical or virtual operating system environment on the licensed server.
Which I feel equates to this:
Licensing Mode
Applies to
Number of licenses needed
To get this many standalone instances
Per processor per virtual
Standard, Workgroup, Enterprise
#virtual OSs * #virtual instances * #virtual CPUs
Standard, Workgroup, Enterprise:
#virtual OSs * #virtual instances
Per seat (aka Server + CAL) per virtual
Standard, Workgroup, Enterprise
#virtual OSs + S(users)
Standard, Workgroup:
#virtual OSs * #virtual instances, among S(users)
Enterprise:
#virtual OSs * #virtual instances, among S(users)
Can a Microsoft representative clear this up for me, please?
I want to present the information accurately and objectively short-term, as well as legally in the long-term.
Thanks in advance for any information.

We're trying to follow the principle of least privilege here in setting up a user account for our website to use to access SQL Server 2005, but we're having a nightmarish time getting it to work.
The issue seems to be trying to get a limited access user account the ability to cross databases.
Here's the situation:
We have a User [WebUser] that we want to grant access to the database. This account has a login [WebUser] that has username=WebUser and password=ALongPassword.
This user only calls stored procedures in the database [WebData].
However, some of the stored procedures in [WebData] call stored procedures in the database [dbutil].
One of the stored procedures in [dbutil] inserts records into a table in a third database [dbutil_temp].[DebugLog].
This all works out great from my development account using Windows Authentication.
But as you might guess, if I do something like "EXECUTE AS [WebUser]" and run the same procedure on [WebData] things fall apart quickly. I've looked online regarding cross-database ownership chaining, but quite frankly, the whole users/logins/roles/schemas security model is confusing, and I'm getting nowhere fast on my own.
We really only want [WebUser] to have CONNECT and EXECUTE permissions on the primary [WebData] database, but it seems like we've got to do a lot more than that to get this to work.
I'd appreciate any help...

Hi,
I got this error when I deploy a mining model.
--
Error 1 OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: The query has been canceled because the estimated cost of this query (628) exceeds the configured threshold of 300. Contact the system administrator.; 42000. 0 0
Error 2 Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while the dimension, with the ID of 'Revenue Labeled Prod ~MC-LPROD', Name of 'Revenue Labeled Prod ~MC-LPROD' was being processed. 0 0
--
I don't understand why this happens. Previously I've created one cube and 4 dimensions. I got
the same error before. I think the cube was the culprit so I removed the cube and dimensions.
After removing them, I build the project. Successful. But fail again when processing the
mining model. The mining model was fairly simple, only 3 columns (one key time, one key,
one input as well as predicted column, using Microsoft Time Series algorithm).
Why the estimated cost is even higher when I created another project using only one table (Revenue, the same fact table)?
Error 1 OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: The query has been canceled because the estimated cost of this query (1493) exceeds the configured threshold of 300. Contact the system administrator.; 42000. 0 0
I worked in local machine, there should be no network-related issue when querying. The
machine is 2-processor Xeon 2.4 GHz with 3 GB memory.
How to solve this problem? I have checked the Properties of Analysis Service. I have set higher value for timeout in ODBC Administrator.
Thank you,

I hope someone can help.
I'm trying to read rows from a SQL Server Table and for each row use a few columns as parameters into a query to be run against oracle which will delete oracle rows.
I add OLDEB connections for Oracle and SQL and then I try to add a "Execute SQL Task". I've also tried a "OLE Command" but I can't get the mapping of the columns to the parameters to work.
There is lots of articles on the web that talk in general around parameterized queries but no clear examples.
I also find the difference between the Control Flow and Data Flow tabs confusing as its not intuitive where to place things. It also appears to force me to re-define things that it should already know (this is no doubt because I'm interpreting what I've done / acheived wrongly).
I have my source and destination on the "Data Flow" tab along with a "Execute SQL Task" object in the middle.
I'm setting its "connection manager" the Oracle (i.e. the destination where I want the deletes to be executed). I don't follow why this also has a "connection property, surely this it set when I drag the output of the SQL Server OLEDB Source to the input of the "Execute SQL Task".
Perhaps I'm expected too much from the wizards / dialogs and I have to create "variables" and "parameters" myself?
Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I have a Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise server which I need to set up as a linked server in SQL Server 2005. The Sybase server is version 12.5.2, and the Sybase ODBC driver version is 4.20.00.67. I have already installed the Sybase client software on the server.
I also created a SystemDSN on the SQL Server to connect to the Sybase server. I tested the connection and it was able to connect.
I ran the following code to create the linked server:
<code>
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'LinkedServerName', @srvproduct=N'Sybase', @provider=N'MSDASQL', @datasrc=N'Sybase System DSN', @provstr=N'"Provider=Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider;Server Name=servername,5000;Initial Catalog=databasename;User Id=username;Password=password"'
</code>
I then ran sp_tables_ex to make sure I could view the tables in the Sybase database. Here is the error message I get:
<code>
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "LinkedServerName" returned message "[DataDirect][ODBC Sybase Wire Protocol driver]Error parsing connect string at offset 13. ".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 41
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "LinkedServerName".
</code>
Any ideas what is happening here?

I have to put some ActiveX code in the first step of a DTS package, which will search thru all the files in some folder and if it finds a file with filename starting with "Test" (like TestFile.txt), the script will rename it and then use it for transforming data to SQL tables.
In VB Dir$ function could have been used, what should I use in ActiveX?
Thanks a lot for your help
