When i checked the machine this morning i saw that MS DTC service was stopped and when did start it, it was good for a sec or two then it stopped auto matically i was not sure waht was goin on...
Then i checked the Eventviewer, it said the log file is full i tried out to find ms dtc log reset or increase the size but could not find out..where can i find this.
One more thing what is the purpose of DTC, i know in sql 6.5 we have everything in enterprize manager but i can't see the same either in 7.0 or 2000 is the name changed or is it linked to some other source.
Like linked server , does this depend on MS DTC..how and what is the basic purpose of this..kindly tell me what i should do now...
Is there a way I can perform an update on a table, but ignore thetrigger (or disable the trigger) each time I run a particular updatescript from a DTS package?I would like subsequent DTS steps to use the trigger except for my lastupdate statement. Is this possible?Thanks,Frank*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
In my stored procedure I'm calling a buggy and flaky stored procedurethat comes from a third party. When I run my stored proceure from QA,I'm getting a whole buch of errors raised inside the third party one.Is there any way I could just ignore them, so that if I run my SP fromQA, only errors from my code, if any, show up?TIA
Hi,I'm trying to upload a large number of log entries currently stored astext files into a database table using bcp. For a few rows I get a"right truncation" error and the offending rows are not uploaded to thetable.I don't want to increase the size of the table varchar fields becauseit's only about a dozen out of almost million rows that have thisproblem ... I want to provide an override - i.e. if a row will resultin truncated data, truncate but still bulk copy the offending row. Isthat possible?I couldn't find such an option in the documentation.Any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks,Mudassir Latif
Is there a way to make a SP ignore an error?e.g. I'm looping through each database on a server, checking of a tableexists then selecting a value from that table. Now I have a database putonto the server where the table exists but all column names aredifferent, my SP is not interested in this database so when it errorswith invalid column name I want it to move onto the next databse and notdisplay any error message.
I'm writing a store procedure to accept search strings from user on my site. Currently, this is what I have.
Code Snippet @schoolID int = NULL, @scholarship varchar(250) = NULL, @major varchar(250) = NULL, @requirement varchar(250) = NULL --@debug bit = 0 AS BEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements. SET NOCOUNT ON; SELECT * FROM [scholarship] WHERE ([sectionID] = @schoolID OR @schoolID IS NULL) AND ([schlrPrefix] LIKE '%' + @scholarship + '%' OR [schlrName] LIKE '%' + @scholarship + '%' OR [schlrSufix] LIKE '%' + @scholarship + '%' OR @scholarship IS NULL ) AND ([Specification] LIKE '%' + @major + '%' OR @major IS NULL ) AND ([reqr1] LIKE '%' + @requirement + '%' OR [reqr2] LIKE '%' + @requirement + '%' OR [reqr3] LIKE '%' + @requirement + '%' OR [reqr4] LIKE '%' + @requirement + '%' OR [reqr5] LIKE '%' + @requirement + '%' OR @requirement IS NULL )
The problem is, somtimes the search doesn't work if there is a space behind or infront of the search string. I wonder if there is away to ignore any spaces and go right into whatever character comes next or after. If so, how do I implement that?
I have a stored procedure that does several steps. During the stored proc, error messages are produced when certain conditions warrant. But I want to continue anyway.... ex. in a loop in the proc...
SET @strSQL = 'Update Table1 SET col1 = ''' + @strVariable + '''' EXEC (@strSQL)
--ERROR created by the exec statement.....
When I schedule this as a job, the first error message makes the job fail. How can I force the proc to run completely, even if an error occurs?
I am importing data into a SQL table and there is a potential for duplicate records to be coming in. How do I simply ignore the duplicates and add only the records that do not violate the keys?
SELECT expense_id, CAST(expense_id AS char(10)) + ' - ' + CAST(trip_km AS char(5))+ ' - ' + CAST(expense_amount AS char(5)) + ' - ' + charge_centre AS ExpenseDesc
If charge center is null, I need to ignore this field. How can I achieve this? The reason is that if any of the field is null, it will return ExpenseDesc as null.
if there is an error in the trigger then the update to the table does not happen. is there a way to make sql ignore errors in a trigger and still update the table
Hi, I am trying to import data from a Text file into a database Table using SQLserver BCP utility. I am able to do that when I have all new records in my Text file. But I am getting primary key violation error when I am trying to import the record which is already existing in the table. This is correct, but I want my program to ignore these errors and import only those records which are fine. I tried [-m maxerrors] option, but it is not working. My BCP program is getting interrupted at the first error itself, even if I give [-m100] option. my command looks something like this, bcp pub..employee in C:data.txt -b1 -m100 -c -t, -Sdatabase -Uuser -Ppassword
here -b1 is, processing 1 row per batch transaction -m100 is, ignoring first 100 errors
I am looking for best practice when passing a parameter to stored procedure that is not needed. For example, sometime the users will want the list to list only by certain state. Other times the user want all states. How can I make the SP to ignore the where clause if users want all states.
CREATE PROCEDURE usp_Example @State nvarchar(2) AS SELECT FirstName, LastName, State FROM SomeTable WHERE State = @FirstName; GO
Using SQL2000. According to Books Online, the avg aggregrate functionignores null values. ((3+3+3+3+Null)/5) predictably returns Null. Isthere a function to ignore the Null entry, adjust the divisor, andreturn a value of 3? For example:((3+3+3+3)/4) after ignoring Nullentry.If there's more than one null value, then adjust divisor accordingly.For example: ((5+5+5+4+Null+5+5+Null)/8) would be ((5+5+5+4+5+5)/6)after nulls ignored.Thanks for any help or advice.
Hi,I believe my SQL server was configured as Case sensitivity. I have anumber of stored procedures which were moved from a non-Casesensitivity SQL server. Because of the Case sensitivity, I have to doa lot of editing in those stored procedures. Is there a quick way toavoid the editing?Something like ignoring the case in one statement?Thanks in advance, your advice will be greatly appreciated.
I'm using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. I've created a view (very basic two field select with a inner join) -- I expect the query to take some time as there are about 1.7 million records in one table and about 3 million in the join table. Problem is, I always get a timeout error when I try to run the query.
I've checked the server settings and "Execution time-out" = 0 (no time-out). Checked this at the server and in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. So my question is why am I getting a time-out when I have it set to not time-out?
I connect, but when I try to access any table from this database I get an error indicating that the object doesn't exist and if I use the fullname xx.table I get no errors. What may be happening?
I want to bulkcopy a pipe delimited text file that has two header records to SQL Server using ADO / C#. The first record contains the datetime the file was recreated and the second record contains the column definitions, both records start with a # character (see below).
# May 15, 2008 12:12:12345 # col1|col2|col3 col1rec1data|col2rec1data|col3rec1data col1rec2data|col2rec2data|col3rec2data
Is there a way to ignore the two header records when building the select statement for the text file or in the schema.ini?
That works until it hits a date formatted incorrectly. The date could have blank spaces, double zeros or an invalid month/day/year (e.g. 033986). The command stops with a conversion error and no values are written to the CorrectedDate fields.
Is there a way to have the command skip the invalid dates and continue to write the datetime conversion for the dates that are formatted correctly?
Edit: Forgot to mention this is on SQL Server 2005 (not Express).
when i write this sentence in textbox in reporting service 2005 : = iif(DateAdd( "h",Parameters! t.Value,Fields! completionTime. Value),"" ,Fields!completi onTime.Value)
I exporting a table of comments. There are some line returns in the comments. Some of these data are paragraphs of data! For some reason, when I am exporting the data, it treats the line return within the comment column as a new record. I am using a -c character data type so (newline character) is the row terminator. How do I get the BCP OUT to ignore a newline character within a record?
For example: ID~Comment -- ------- 1~This is a comment 2~Hi,how are (user hit carriage) you (you is part of next row in bcp out) 3~Next record
What is the best method for ignoring the time in datetime comparisons. Say I want all records on 07/08/1996 regardless of their time. Or all records between 01/01/1999 and 04/01/1999 even if one of the records on 04/01/1999 had a time of 16:32:22
There is a trace flag that tells SQL Server to ignore index hinting in incoming queries. I'm having a Monday morning problem and I can't remember the trace number nor find it in my notes. Can anyone else come up with it?
