I've a question regarding SSRS 2005.
Is there an efficient scripting method to update the connection string for ALL reports that reside on a reporting/web server? "(automating the process, rather than having to change the data source for each individual report that resides on that server)".
All suggestions are highly appreciated .
Thanks,
For a backup strategy, I was thinking of just copying over all the system and user database device (DAT) files (of course after stopping all
the SQL services at a time when no one is accessing the database server). Then at the time of restoration, I would copy the files back to their
original location.
Does anyone see any problems with this strategy?

I want to get 100 rows onward to one particular data ... how can i ?
I need to implement support for alternate names on the database I’m working on.
When a user looks up: “Antony Bigglesworth” the query would return both: Antony Bigglesworth as well as Tony Bigglesworth, would both exist.
Anyone has a best practice on this or has done this before?

View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,I have a situation where I am loading data into a stagingtable for multiple data sources. My next step is to pick up therecords from the staging table and compare with the data in thedatabase and based on the certain conditions, decide whether to insertthe data into the database or update an existing record in thedatabase. I have to do this job as an sp and schedule it to run on theserver as per the requirements. I thought that cursors are the onlyoption in this situation. Can anyone suggest if there is any other wayto achieve this in SQL 2005 please.ThanksSeshadri

Dear All
i want to know some alternate for the below query
"Update STR_RGSTR_DFLT " & _
" Set GST_SVY_FREQ_P = " & iNewSurveyPct & _
" Where dhc_co_c = " & iCo & " and store_i = " & iStore & _
" And RGSTR_PROTO_C not in (0,3,4,8,10,11,12,13)"
in this the values in the where clause 'not in' i.e (0,3,4,8,10,11,12,13) are directly given
but we want some alternate solution.
the entire script is writen in VBScript. these values are already populated in an array like proto_code_ary = {0,3,4,8,10,11,12,13}
shall we use that array directly without hard coding the values in the query?
If any one find a solution please let me know.
Thanks & Regards

In times past I connected my web app to SQL Server by embedding the following in the web.config file: <connectionStrings> <add name="XyzApp_DB" connectionString="Data Source=MyServerSQLExpress;Database=XyzApp;User ID=sa;Password=secret_password"/> </connectionStrings> And it worked fine. But it was pointed out to me that this wasn't a very proper way to do things. So I was advised to set things up with a different connection string: <connectionStrings>
<add name="XyzApp_DB" connectionString="Data
Source=MyServerSQLExpress;Database=XyzApp;User
ID=Xyz_Admin;Password=different_password"/>
</connectionStrings>
To get this to work, I've followed these instructions: A
more secure login than “sa� is required to access your application. In the “connectionStrings� section of
“Web.config� you’ll find a User ID called “Xyz_Admin�. Here are the steps to ensure that your
DB has this login id:
a. Using
the Microsoft SQL Server Management tool, look in the root for the “Security�
folder and open it. Inside that, open
the “Logins� folder.
b. If
“Xyz_Admin� doesn’t exist then right-click on “Logins� and choose “New Login�:
i.
Enter “Xyz_Admin� in the “Login name� textbox.
ii.
Click on “User Mapping� on the left side and in the
‘Map’ column check the box beside “XyzApp�.
iii.
Go back to the “General� page and choose SQL Server
Authentication.
iv.
Specify any secret password you wish.
v.
You can uncheck “Enforce password expiration� if you
wish.
vi.
Specify “XyzApp� as the default database and press
OK.
c.
Open “Databases�, right-click on “XyzApp� and
select “New Query�. Run this query: sp_change_users_login 'update_one',
'xyz_admin', 'xyz_admin'
Now, I was pretty sure that this procedure was working fine but it doesn't seem to work for me today. I know that the client computer I'm using can connect to the DB on the server because I temporarily changed the User Id to "sa" and it connected fine. But when I change it back to "Xyz_Admin" it does not. So I'm thinking that there's something incorrect with the procedure above but I don't know what.Any ideas?Robert W.

Hi I need some help on an architecture issue.
I have a production database with input from 3 locations outstation. I need to bring down this server once in a while for tuning and other administrative stuff. Right now I'm in no position to shut the server down. Is there any way I can do this.
Also how can I have 2 databases and toggle between the 2 seamlessly without effecting the users. Does it have to be a mirror on the devices ? What do the professionals usually do
I have heard about clusters. Is this a solution for my problem and what is a cluster anyway ?

Yes, I know synchronisation to alternate partners is deprecated in SQL2005 but....
In SQL2000 there is a Sync Partners tab in the publication properties dialog that allows you tick a checkbox for each co-publisher to be enabled as an alternate synchronisation partner. What is the equivalent in SQL2005?
I've set up replication in SQL2000 following these instructions http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321176 and it works. Now I'm trying to do the same thing in SQL2005 but I can't find a substitute for steps 10 & 11 in the section "Set Up the Alternate Synchronisation Partner". What's the answer?
Thanks in advance.
I'm building an ASP.NET application that uses SQL DMO to automate database dumps. This will be used by our DBAs to simplify the transfer of databases between server environments.
As part of the process, I need to create a backup of an online database and then restore with a different name to run cleanup scripts against it to remove unneeded audit data, etc. I've tried setting objSqlBackup.BackupSetName to accomplish this, but it appears the backup files retain the original database name internally. When attempting to restore the backup, this results in an error saying that the database already exists.
Does anyone have a code sample or link that explains how an alternate name can be specified? In SQL Server Enterprise Manager, there is a field for specifying an alternate name when creating a backup. Given that SQL DMO is supposed to offer the same functionality, there must be a way...
FYI, The full process is as follows: - Create backup of selected database - Restore database with a different name (this is where I need help) - Run cleanup scripts to clear out unnecessary audit data, etc. - Create backup of "cleaned" database - Create zip file of database backup
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Hi:
I created following temp table in a proc as
create table #tempOutput
(objID int identity (1,1) primary key clustered,
DriverID varchar(10) not null,
StatusID int not null
constraint AK_tempOutput_DriverID_StatusID
unique (DriverID, StatusID),
Note varchar(50))
I run the proc first time ok. but the second time got the error:
AK_tempOutput_DriverID_StatusID exists already....
after trace to tempdb -----
select * from tempdb..sysobjects
where name = 'AK_tempOutput_DriverID_StatusID'
name id xtype parent_obj
AK_tempOutput_DriverID_StatusID 849652640 UQ 833652583
select * from tempdb..sysobjects where ID = 833652583
Now, the temp table tempOutput becomes
#tempOutput_____________________________0000000002 A1
But I could not drop this table in tempDB,
and I could restart the SQLserver to clean the tempdb at this time.
after I renamed the AK_tempOutput_DriverID_StatusID to AK_tempOutput_DriverID_StatusID_1 in the create sql statement,
the proc recreated and exec works.
Is there a way without restart SQL server to clean the Alternate key?
Is there a way without restart SQL server to clean the temp table?
Also, how to prevent the issue?
This happens in both SQL2005 ent and SQL2000 ent.
I think the exec proc ending should drop the #temp automatically and thus corresponding PK/AK?
thanks

Hi,
I have transactional replication setup with SQL 2000 on W2K3 cluster using updateable push subscribers. While setting up replication, we chose default location for snapshot folder that resides on non-clustered drive. Is there a way to change this location without disturbing current replication setup. I looked at the 'alternate snapshot location' solution, but it requires snapshot re-initialization. I am trying to do this with minimal effort and downtime.
Thanks,

View 17 Replies View RelatedIt looks like you can run an SSIS package via the DTEXEC command. You can also specifiy a configuraiton file flag on the command. Is there anyway to specify a configuraiton filter if you stored it into a table vs and xml file?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOne of the things that annoys me in 2005 is that you cannot change the snapshot location during the setup of the replication. Does anyone know if I missed something or if they are going to change that in a future patch?
