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.
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)
I am trying to understand an environment and provide a solution to Banking system so that they can enter user data (transactions) online and at the same time we can provide users online reporting as well. Using same sql server or server/hardware on other machine.
There are so many branches/customers/ATM machines accessing online data as well as updating their balances. I want to understand how can we provide online reporting. Through replication, transaction log backup, log shipping or what other solution is available. I need to understand this and provide a solution that is already implemented running/successfully. Need some proposals and their pros and cons. cost and maintenance are the constraints with the real time reporting on live system/database.
As backups are done on SQL, it keeps all the catalogs. Over time, there are too many. Which system table(s) contains those backup catalog entries and should

Hi all,
I am a graduate assistant in Central Michigan University. Currently, My work is to create a table or a catalog that explains all the details of a table and the fields with in the table. We are the looking for details like, stored procedures or Views or other tables or Reports that are using the particular field or table. How can i capture those details and make it as an automated process, which updates when ever there is an add on in use or something else.
Please help me with this as soon as possible.
Thanks,

I have currently one SQL FT catalog which indices couple of tables in on our server on nightly basis. It does a 'full' indexing of data as originally designed. Now the time it is taking to index all the data is unacceptable to user. I am working on it to make it index 'incrementally'.
But, for a short-term approach I want to find out, can we FT index a 'table A' in two catalogs on same SQL Server?
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?
Hi All,
looking for some views about where to place these catalogs. The manual says they work more effiecntly on a different drive to the database, which is understandable.
I'm in the processes of designing a new database application which is to be avaiable via the internet, and extranet app. But as I'm planning to host the app and the main database on a shared server but to have the catalogs on another server held in house. The app will have search facilities as its main use. They will obviously be some performace issues, but is this a good idea?
Thanks for any comments..

Replication: Is it possible to replicate Full-text catalogs between servers?
thanks in advance
Hi
When I create a full text catalog via sql code, does the account the sql server is running under need any special permissions, since some files are created?
Or is it just the same as running any other sql code?
Thanks
In 2000 there was a server level setting you could change in EM, to allow direct modifications to systems catalogs.
in 2005 I would like to update some sids in sysusers tables, do I also need to find and set this option first
I have a handful of databases that are enabled for Full-Text search. After investigating some recent performance issues, I discovered the FullText Catalogs needed to be reorganized. This is a task I knew I wanted to automate, without having to hard-code db names or catalog names. My first thought was to use sp_executesql with dynamic tsql strings. I was quite disappointed to realize that I couldn't use fully qualified names to run either of these commands:
ALTER FULLTEXT CATALOG [DBName].[SchemaName].[CatalogName] REORGANIZE
ALTER FULLTEXT CATALOG [DBName]..[CatalogName] REORGANIZE
My next thought was to create a stored proc on each user db that would do the re-orgs. Then I could have a sql job iterate through the db's and run the sp on each db. Thinking...Hmm...That's do-able, but I don't like it. Add a new db to the server, and I have to remember to create the sp. Relying on my memory to do something isn't always a good idea. Plus, if I have to fix/edit/enhance the sp, I get the pleasure of doing it multiple times on multiple servers. Too much work.
I came up with some code that would dynamically reorganize all the catalogs, but I had to run it while connected to a specific db. How do I run the code while connected to [master], but in the context of a different db? The undocumented proc [sp_MSforeachdb] came to mind. I'd never used it, and was reluctant to do so after reading about other dba's experiences with it. So I came up with my own derivitive, just for this one purpose. The code is below.
CREATE PROCEDURE dba.ReorganizeFullTextCatalogs
AS
/*
Purpose:
Reorganizes the FullText Catalogs (as needed) on all user databases.
Inputs: None
History:
02/25/2014DMasonCreated

--This is the tsql statement that get executed on each db.

I would like to figure out a way to give access to QA's to run and View reports on SSISDB catalog without giving them SSISAdmin or SYSAdmin permisions.?
View 2 Replies View Related SQL Server 2000 is pretty well documented with the limit of 256 (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa214780(SQL.80).aspx) but I can find no documentation anywhere that discusses the limit on SQL Server 2005.

I need to modify a .dtsx that is inside ‘Integration Services Catalogs’; I tried right-clicking + exporting… But I only see ‘Configure’, ‘execute’ or validate options… I thought I could export it, directly from there, modify it and import it againNow I accessed the Integration Services from the same server name, and it’s not there… How can I find out, where is that package from? Or is there a way that I can export it directly from ssms?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI wanted to create a SSIS catalog and the way to create a catalog is to right click on "Integration Services Catalogs" node and select "Create Catalog" option.
However, I am not able to see the "Integration Services Catalogs" node in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) as shown in the following image.
What is missing so that I can see this node in SSMS?

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]

We are trying to restore from a backup (.bak) of a sql 2005 database with full text catologs to sql 2012.
We are getting errors saying that the backup file context are different from what we are trying to restore to, even if we try to create a new database from the backup.The new database is just a test database. The source is a production database with full cataologs.
The normal restore from a bak file does not seem to work.
We dont need the full text catalogs in the new database, but cannot change settings in the source production database.
Is there a way to take a backup of the sql 2005 database without the full text cataologs being included ? , without changing setting in the source database beforehand ?
I've searched the forum and saw that this question has been asked several times. However, none of the responses point to any documentation about this limit. We've got different groups bickering over this ("There is no limit!" "Yes there is!" "No there isn't!") and it would help to have a link on the MSDN or a response from Microsoft to this question to put this to rest once and for all. Also, if there is a limit, is that per Sql Server instance or per physical server?
Secondly, we currently have over 400 catalogs. We've noticed it takes 4-5 minutes for new data to show up in search results. Does the number of catalogs affect performance, or is it the amount of data, irrespective of catalog count?
Thanks
I have created a windows library control that accesses a local sql database

I am not running the webpage in a virtual directory but in

I mean why such restriction? In such queries results will be only 1 so it does not violate the SET operation. correct??

I am using the SQLEXPRESS database, and connect from to locations:
Windows Service
ASP.NET web application.
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
