i got stuck, while sending emails using store procedure sp_send_dbmail, when i m sending simple text format then mail received in inbox but whenever i m trying to send an html format emails with links of images and href tags mails received in spam.. i store procedure is given below..
I developed a mass mailing tools, but all mails received in junk and spam folder
I use an store procedure 'sp_send_dbmail' which is by default in sql server, when i send an testing mail using object explorer ->Database mail -> right click -> send testing mails, then this mail received in inbox, but when i call 'sp_send_dbmail' this procedure using job with 2 min intervals then mails received in junk or spam folder of recipients..
I configured correctly all information of smtp details ip address...
Just wondering if there are other people getting mail from Pinnaclesoftware demanding payment of $179 for a subscription that they didn'trequest. I am now on the"Fourth Notice - Invoice past due"I know only one other SQL Server DBA and that person is also gettingthe mail each month. Information on the invoice says the paymentshould be made to Ragan Communication. Is there anyone else out therewho's getting these mails demanding money. I personally find itdisgusting that the company operates in this fashion.
I dont alot about sql server 2005(Express edition). For debugging purposes i want to copy the whole app_data folder(.mdf & .log files) on the production server to another folder on the same machine(or sometimes to a network folder). So when i copy and try to paste this App_data folder to a new location, i get this error message "cannot copy ASPNETDB: it is being used by another person or program. close any programs that might be using the file and try again." After reading the above message, i close visual web developer, stop the website in IIS and stop the SQLExpress service on the server and try again but still get the same message. So how can i make sure that all the programs accessing these database files are closed such that i'm able able to copy them to a different location.
I know a WMI event watcher can be used to watch for a new file being added to a folder. However, I need to check for new folders being added to an existing folder. I haven't been able to find a post on doing this. Is there a way in WQL to check for a new folder being added instead of a new file? I've used SQL for years, but am new to SSIS.
I have a SharePoint (2007) Document Library site called B. Web Client is enabled on the server and B is mapped as a Drive (let's call it Y for this discussion)
I want to move documents in A to B. Easy enough, right? Not so....
I first started by creating a batch file that issues a COPY \A \Y /Y at the command prompt. Viola! Worked Great!
I then moved that command to a SQL Agent job as a CMDExec statement (exact same statement) and attempted to run it.....CRASH! It found the files in A but then said "The system cannot find the path specified"
Ok, so I tried it in SSIS. CRASH! Checked the error log. Same thing...
So I then checked the account under which the SQl Agent was running (special domain account for all our SQL Servers). Thinking it might mater I changed it to run under my name (I'm in Domain admin). I also ensured I had permissions to the SPS 2007 library as well. (I did).
Ran again! CRASH! Same error....
So, I created a batch file , placed thec ommand in the batch file and ran that from the command prompt! Viola! Worked Great.
So, I was thinking of how ingenious I was as I pasted my C:RootCopy.bat into my SQL Agent job. With a big grin on my face I right clicked and picked "Start Job at step".......CRASH! Same error.
Does anyone have any ideas on this ???????????????
Hi, I am Suhasini. While saving data from front end(Asp.net) to back end(Sql server 2005 express edition) i am getting junk characters also added to the database. This character just look like a checkbox. Basically i am adding options using a multiline text box, is there any thing wrong with that. options are saved in the database as junk character followed by option1...... etc. Kindly suggest me on this.
I have a set of folders with the following structure:
MainFolder
1999
SpreadsheetA.xls
SpreadsheetB.xls
SpreadsheetC.xls
2000
SpreadsheetA.xls
SpreadsheetB.xls
SpreadsheetC.xls
etc.
Is there a way that I can use the foreach loop container to loop the sub folders? My plan was to get the folder name and path into a variable, use this to build the connection string for each file in this folder, carry out the upload for that folder, then move onto the next folder and do the same thing, but I cannot see a way to do this.
We have quite a strange problem, we have some SP's in our project which is functioning quite well all these days. Suddenly one day we got an error in the SP stating "Invalid Table Name", when we opened the SP and saw in some places the Tablename was replaced with Junk Characters inside the SP !!!!!!!
For Ex: Inside the SP we have the following SELECT query
"SELECT F1 FROM SampleTable"
the above query is getting replaced with
"SELECT F1 FROM SampleTa?le"
The junk character actually appears like a box!!!.. we were absolutely clueless why this was happening. Then if we change the SP once agin and run it starts to execute but only for a short time and the problem comes back once again. When we went through the SQL logs we got this error repeatedly:
"Error: 17805, Severity: 20, State: 3
Invalid buffer received from clients"
We came to know a little about this problem from kb articles in MS that when you are calling an SP from .Net u should specify the parameter data types explicitly and u should not use SQL Client in Finalise method all which we have not done in the application.
Tha SP was using #Table which we replaced to @Tablevariables but still we got the problem once, we are monitoring with the same Table Variables.
We are using SQL Server 2000 SP4. We have got stuck with this problem for days now . Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have a client using SQL 2k, SP2 (due application requirements, SP3 is notan option - the application vendor will not specify why). We are receiving:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Unknown token received from SQL ServerConnection BrokenThere doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason as to why this is happening.And...it shows it's ugly head at random places during execution. Has anyoneexperienced this also, or have any ideas on what to look for? I have seennumerous suggestions stating to upgrade from MDAC 2.6 to 2.7. At thispoint, I'm not sure if thats an option based on the vendors application(which by the way they no longer support!).Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.Greg
i am building a new deployment routine for one of our products using NANT (.net version of ANT). I takes all of .sql files out of vault for all non table objects and concatenates them into larger .sql files with IF EXISTS .... DROP ... GO CREATE statements which will then be fired off by osql batch files that will log the errors.
Problem...
When I open the resulting files in notepad I have junk characters (microsoft OEM stuff) in some of my object definitions which you do not see in the QA or if you opnen the file in Vault. I need to get this stuff out of there and I do not want to write a bunch of filesystem code to do it because I need this tested and ready by Friday COB. I know I can solve this by opening the problematic files in ultraedit and saving them one by one but I do have that kind of time.
Is there a way to tell SQL Server 2005 Management Studio that I don't want it to include "USE [dbname]" and "/****** Object: Table [dbo].[TBL_NAME] Script Date: [date] ******/" when it creates scripts? I searched the forums and couldn't find an answer, and I don't see it in Tools->Options.
I have a varchar field which should contain dates but unfortunately it is fill with all sorts of imaginary formats which only the one who has typed may understand.
in a data set of 15000 rows most of them are like '1/15/2007' and 305 roes are like the rest in the sample.
can you sugest ma a simple way to convert posible data to format '1/15/2007' format which i can use in a SELECT...INSERT STATEMENT and convert the rest to NULL
Hi All,I am using command line bcp utility of SQL Server to import data from a textfile to database.I have some german words in the text file and afterimport the German characters are lost.see eg below.Input : Kühner, Klaus -> Text file valueOutPut: K?hner, Klaus -> Table data, after import.I am using unicode in the commad line.The collation setting is LATINcan anyone show some light.Thanks in advanceManoj.
I have a strange situation in an Message queue task in SSIS. I serialize an object in a C# application and add that to an MSMQ as a string. I also ensure that I set the label to "String Message" so that my Message Queue Task can actually receive the message as a String message to variable.
I created an SSIS package that has an Message Queue listener that feeds into a Script task inside a for-each loop. For each message that I obtain, I invoke a script task that retrieves the value of the variable and then processes this information.
When I enter the entry into the MSMQ, it goes in perfectly fine (since I also tested retrieving this entry from a C# app). However when I use the same logic on the SSIS package using the Script task, I get junk chinese characters.
Has this happened to anyone else? Any feedback would be great!
Anup
Here is the code for the script task: mports System Imports System.Data Imports System.Math Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Public Class ScriptMain
Public Sub Main() Dim statusMessage As String statusMessage = CType(ReadVariable("ReviewerHealthXmlMessage"), String) System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(statusMessage) Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
Private Function ReadVariable(ByVal varName As String) As Object Dim result As Object
Try Dim vars As Variables Dts.VariableDispenser.LockForRead(varName) Dts.VariableDispenser.GetVariables(vars) Try result = vars(varName).Value Catch ex As Exception Throw ex Finally vars.Unlock() End Try Catch ex As Exception Throw ex End Try
Return result End Function
Private Sub WriteVariable(ByVal varName As String, ByVal varValue As Object) Try Dim vars As Variables Dts.VariableDispenser.LockForWrite(varName) Dts.VariableDispenser.GetVariables(vars) Try vars(varName).Value = varValue Catch ex As Exception Throw ex Finally vars.Unlock() End Try Catch ex As Exception Throw ex End Try End Sub
when is seemd that everything works some weird behaviours comes out.
I try to summarize the problem without to post the complete code.
Service Broker is set to have a dialog between two databases on the same SQL Server instance.
The Initiator queue has retention=on and there is an activation SP to handle errors and Target's end dialog message.
The Target queue has retention=off, MAX_READER =1 and there is an activation SP to receive the message (WAIT FOR (RECEIVE (1) ...), TIMEOUT 30000 and do something with this message (sample insert into a DB).
The conversation has a Timeout Dialog to end the dialog after a while.
The problem that the message is constantly processed. The Process doens't stop is I end the dialof after the processing either.
n.b.the Receive is within a Transation that I commit at the end.
some other informations that in the meanwhile I found out :
This was my complete WAIT FOR(RECEIVE :
WAITFOR ( RECEIVE top(1) -- just handle one message at a time @message_type=message_type_id, --the type of message received @messagetypename=message_type_name, @message_body=message_body, -- the message contents @dialog = conversation_handle -- the identifier of the dialog this message was received on FROM [TargetQueue] ), timeout 1000;
if (@@ROWCOUNT = 0) BEGIN COMMIT; BREAK; END
IF I delet TIMEOUT 1000, everything works as expected ... Inside if (@@ROWCOUNT = 0)BEGIN..END I wrote also an Insert into a table to see wheter the end of the queue was reached but this insert never occurs (neither with not without timeout) I'm happy that it works what if this is the solution, it make no sense to me!
I am sending two messages across servers with in the same transaction but they are received in the incorrect sequence.
Message1 from service1 to service2 on contract1 with RELATED_CONVERSATION_GROUP = 'xxxxxxx' Message2 from service1 to service2 on contract2 with RELATED_CONVERSATION_GROUP = 'xxxxxxx'
Message2 is always received first at the target and is causing our process to fail.
When I check the service2 definition contract2 is specified first. Can this be the issue? I tried to change this order by dropping the contracts from the service and adding again but it still keeps the same order.
I've check out that this error code says: A literal value in the command overflowed the range of the type of the associated column.
I received the error message when inserting large block data into a image column in SQL Server 2000. As I know, image support max 2G data to store. I use the C code function below to insert the data:
in which, the NUM_SAMPLES_SETDBMONITOR*sizeof(float64) stands for the data length by byte. and ,&(pMonitorDBData->SampDat) stands for the pointer address of the data block. (pls note: NUM_SAMPLES_SETDBMONITOR*sizeof(float64) = 4096*8=32768 bytes)
In addation, I've tried to use certain numbers instead of "NUM_SAMPLES_SETDBMONITOR*sizeof(float64)", and I found I could only set this value up to 8003 bytes. If 8003 above, this error message would be received.
What should I do with this issue? Any help? Thanks a million!
From SQL Management Studion I go to Management > Database Mail and I am trying to send a test email but I never receive anything. I checked my SMTP Mail Server Logs and I saw no entry of my test email. I also I checked my SQL Database Mail Logs and everything seems fine, no errors are reported. The msdb.dbo.sysmail_allitems shows my email status as "sent". So what am I missing? What steps would you recommend for troubleshooting my problem? Thank you, Ric

I am having problem with moving a file from one folder to another folder. Here is the detailed scenario:
I want to move a input.csv file from shared input folder to shared archive folder. i am using the below code to do this. declare @inpath varchar(100) SET @inpath = 'move "\abcdefINPUTinput*.csv" "\abcdefARCHIVEarchive.csv"' EXEC @filestatus = master..xp_cmdshell @inpath but the problem was it was cutting the input.csv file from INPUT folder but not pasting it in the ARCHIVE folder. I really appreciate if anyone can help me to solve this or anyone can tell some workarounds.

if anybody has encounter the same problem before? after testing, i think it's must related with network traffic problem. but i can not figure out how to solve it.
Howdy Folks, Our site has been experiencing this issue for a couple of months now.. Hopefully someone else can assist, as I’ve got to a point where I think issue lies within the application or a Microsoft bug. Web searches have reveled a number installations that have also had this error but its has not revealed an actual fix.
I understand this error code basically means data being returned to the client is getting either corrupted or the data is too large to fit into the buffer on the client side. Client in our case is the terminal server, here after called a application server
As the user base has increased form 5 to 20, I have noticed that the issue is occurring more frequently in comparison to when the company first started using the application /database. Its just about daily now...
The db server also has 8 other db's residing on it - but they are all less than 300 meg.
The attached PowerPoint doc has the trace info & the surrounding code for each process that has suffered a buffer error over a period of a week.
DB Server Environment: Win2000 SP4, SQL2000 SP3a, MDAC 2.7 SP1 refresh. Application Environment: Written In house in VB.NET Framework 1.1 – setup as a published app on a terminal server – running windows 2000 SP4
Common features of the issue, that have been omitted from trace output for visibility reasons are: -Involves 1 particular DB (thats accessed by VB app) & its developement db -All connections are coming from 1 application server -Issue does not relate to any particular site connecting to the application server using this application
I have reviewed & fixed several potential server side causes but this error still is occuring with in the environment:
MDAC versions must be common on application & server: - Removed from equation by updating MDAC version on App server to be the same as DB Server: 2.7 SP1 Refresh
Network related - Considered unlikely; we are also not experiencing network card errors on either server; also all db's would be experiencing connectivity errors.
Which leaves us with Application related options to review: - Compilation error of application - App parameter definitions to stored procedures are the correct data type - Ensure values being passed do not exceed 4000 characters as that has also been known to create this error message - I've asked the developer to review MS KB 827366 article, as it may be a valid test - In regard to MSKB 832977 - I am not using pssdiag & have a later version of the MS Analyzer. But what I thought was interesting, is the statement that this problem occurs more frequently when an application submits a large remote procedure call (RPC) input buffer, especially when the RPC input buffer is greater than or equal to 8 KB. However, this problem may occur even if the input buffer is less than 4 KB - A is using datatypes varchar & char - not nvarchar & nhar
Any assistance with this issue would be appreicated as server performance is being effected - these processes hang around for 1 - 5 mins before terminating (refer duration times in the powerpoint traces)
Hi,I've developed an ASP.NET application which uses MS-SQL Server 2000 as abackend. But as the site hits increase SQL server reponse becomes lower.At some stage after that SQL Server gets automativally stopped bringingcomplete web-application down to halt. i checked the Windows 2000 EventLogs and found several error logs indicating folloowing line."SQL Server 2000 Error 17805 Invalid buffer received from client.". Butno errors on UI side. What may be the actual problem.In storedproceduresor at some other place?Awaiting favourble reply.Regards,Amit*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
