I need to refer to a second database from within the database that I login to. Can any one help me with how to abstract this reference? I would like to be able to change a parameter somewhere (i don't really care where) and have it effect any Stored Porcedure which references the second database.
View 1 RepliesI have some flat file connections that I want to parameterize the ConnectionString.
For the ConnectionString expression, I am using the value
@[User:V_Root_Path] + "SomeFileName" + ".txt"
where "SomeFileName" is the Name property of that flat file connection.
How to replace the now hardcoded "SomeFileName" to point to the Name property of the flat file involved?
Something like This.Name, or Me.Name, if you get what I mean.
Thanks for help.
Hi,
I am using SSIS in SQL Server 2005 and want to have a query like this in my data flow task
Select a.*
from abc as a
inner join (Select max(b.id) as ID from xyz as b inner join pqr as c on b.id = c.id and b.id > ?) as t1
on t1.id = a.id
SSIS fails to detect the parameter (?) for the inner query and gives message.
"
Parameters cannot be extracted from the SQL command. The provider might not help to parse parameter information from the command. In that case, use the "SQL command from variable" access mode, in which the entire SQL command is stored in a variable.", so assuming this is your problem, then you can workaround.
"
The idea is to parameterize the inner query ,,,
(so if the above query doesnt make sense ignore it )
I need to create a report that lists other reports in the SSRS database. So I created an XML Data Source. But no matter what, I can't seem to parameterize this connection string so that it'll always point to whichever report server the report is deployed to. I know that I can change this data source once I've done deployment, however I don't want to have to change this whenever I change from SIT to UAT to Production. Is there a way to achieve this?
I tried:
"http://" & Globals!ReportServerUrl & "/ReportService2005.asmx"
="http://" & Globals!ReportServerUrl & "/ReportService2005.asmx"
http://Globals!ReportServerUrl/ReportService2005.asmx
=http://Globals!ReportServerUrl/ReportService2005.asmx
Globals!ReportServerUrl & "/ReportService2005.asmx"
=Globals!ReportServerUrl & "/ReportService2005.asmx"
All to no avail
Thanks,

When I set up a Flat File, Excel, or XML source, I have to specify the complete file name, in particular the folder where the file exists. I would like to specify the location dynamically, via a variable or property -- but how?
View 4 Replies View Relatedin a SSIS 2012 pkg, I'm trying to specify a SELECT TOP ? myColumn FROM myTable inside an Execute SQL task, but unsuccessfully.Is it possible to parameterize the TOP clause?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I created a SSIS package to extract data from a flat file source and load them into a table in a data base. After I created the package i checked it in to source control(perforce).
But the problem is once a month new flat source file comes and data should be updated.
Once the new flat file comes, is there anyway that SSIS package can identify the path of the flat file and execute the package automatically? In Flat file source only the data will be changed. Not location or data type or anything.
Can i use parameters to do that?
Thanks
I am construvcting a number of databases, some of which containsensitive data and most of which do not. I am attempting to handle thesecurity issues involved in protecting sensitive data in part byputting it in its own database. If the sensitive data is in a databasecalled d_SensitiveData, and in that database there is a table called't_A' (I know, not very informative, but this is only a triviallysimple example :-), and I have a script running in a database'NotSensitiveData' (i.e. there is a statement at the beginning of thescript "USE NotSensitiveData"), how do I referenece the primary key intable 'A'?I tried a variety of things like:ALTER TABLE t_nsXADD CONSTRAINT FK_PersonID FOREIGN KEY (p_idPerson)REFERENCES SensitiveData.t_A (p_idPerson);The above is, in fact, my latest attempt. Everything I tried hasfailed precisely at the point where I specify a table in a differentdatabase. So what is the trick to refering to a table in one databasewhen using another database?This will be used in a ASP.NET v3 application where one of the things Iwant to do is have the authentication provider be a different databasefrom the one used for the main application data.Does anyone know of an example I can download from the web that doesthe same sort of thing I want to try, with some discussion of securityissues involved (i.e. what I can do to harden the application and dataserver)?NB: I am an application developer, not a DBA nor a systemadministrator.ThanksTed

I have 2 databases in sql server. let us say database1 = db1 and database2 = db2
Now both the databases have a same table called table1 with the same fields.
IF data in db1.table1 is updated then data in db2.table2 should be updated automatically.
There are many ways we can do this. one way is to create a INSERT trigger on db1.table1.
But i would like to avoid trigger
Is there something in SQL server where I can just link table1 of db1 to db2 and delete the table1 in db2. That means db2 is using the same table that of db1.
Thanks

Hi all,I have two databases DB_External and DB_Internal.I am writing some stored procedures (in DB_Internal) that reads fromthe tables in DB_External. I execute my stored procedures fromDB_Internal.Everytime I want to read the tables in DB_External, I have to refer tothe table as DB_External.dbo.tableName.Is there a better way of declaring the database DB_External up frontin the stored procedure so I don't have to pre-fix "DB_External.dbo."in all the table names?Thanks in advance,June Moore.

Hi All,
I have a table [Vendor] in first database SAMPLEDB. And i have another table [Contract] in another database TESTDB. I need a foreign key in the [Contract] table (which is in TESTDB database) is reference to the other table [Vendor] which is present in the SAMPLEDB.
When i try to creating them through SQL, i received the following error message :
Msg 1763, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Cross-database foreign key references are not supported. Foreign key 'SAMPLEDB..VENDOR'.
Is that possible to refer foreign key in external database or not?
If possible, please give solution for this. If not possible, please suggest some alternate way.
Thanks in Advance
Hi There
Let me start by explaining what I am trying to achieve as there may be a better way to perform this. I have two databases and I want to refer to four tables - one in one database and three in the other in a sql select statement.
When I use the query builder in VWD I can only see tables for the database that is defined in the connection string - so therefore how do I add tables from another database? After reading a few posts I realized that all I have to do is use the syntax: database.owner.table (or [database].[owner].[table]). Unfortunately this didn't work and came up with the error "Invalid Object Name".
Assuming that I must have got the owner incorrect I used the Query Tool in SQL Server Express Edition and it worked perfectly! So my sql must be correct, but why will it not work inside VWD?
The two databases are named assessment and aspnetdb - the assessment database contains the table reviews and the aspnetdb database contains the tables TutorDetails, EmployerDetails and StudentDetails.
Here is the connection string and sql:
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|Assessment.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
SELECT Reviews.Programme, aspnetdb.dbo.TutorDetails.Tutor_DisplayName AS [Tutor Name],
aspnetdb.dbo.EmployerDetails.DisplayName AS [Employer Name], aspnetdb.dbo.StudentDetails.Student_DisplayName AS [Student Name]
FROM Reviews INNER JOIN
aspnetdb.dbo.StudentDetails ON Reviews.StudentID = aspnetdb.dbo.StudentDetails.Username INNER JOIN
aspnetdb.dbo.EmployerDetails ON Reviews.EmployerID = aspnetdb.dbo.EmployerDetails.UserName INNER JOIN
aspnetdb.dbo.TutorDetails ON Reviews.TutorID = aspnetdb.dbo.TutorDetails.UserName
WHERE (Reviews.ReviewID = 15)
Disregard the value of '15' in the WHERE statement as this was just put in to ensure I got some valid data back, this will be replaced with a variable eventually.
I know the sql statement works properly, I think the problem may be something to do with either the connection string - any ideas would be much appreciated.
Regards
Stuart
Good afternoon one and all,
I am trying to write a query that will use tables in more than one SQL database (on the same server). How do refer to the table? I have tried dbasename.tablename.fieldname but I don't think that's working.
TIA for any and all help

I'm trying to update a table in MyDB1 with a value in MyDB2 on the same SQL server (2000)
UPDATE MyDB1.dbo.Users
SET MyDB1.dbo.Users.InstantASP_UserID = MyDB2.dbo.InstantASP_Users.UserID
FROM MyDB2
INNER JOIN dbo.aspnet_Membership a ON a.UserId = MyDB1.dbo.Users.UserID
WHERE MyDB2.dbo.InstantASP_Users.EmailAddress = a.Email
I don't want to have to create a linked server. It's on the same box.
I'm getting Invalid object name 'MyDB2'.
I've got code that on my own machine (visual studio .net 2003 and iis and sql server all exist on this box) works great. I display my test page, which loads a dropdownlist on page_load. This works great on my own machine.
When I move the code to our dev environment. Web server and database servers on separate boxes. I get the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when i try to open the connection to the database. I thought it had to do with permissions and I check all through sql server and everything looks great. I then thought it was the connection string. I still haven't ruled this out, but I wrote a quick vbscript app to attach to the database and try to pull a record. The vbscript worked fine. So, the code works fine on my computer, but not on the web server. The connection does work with vbscript, but through my asp.net web app I get the "object reference" error.
All code below...
ASP.NET webpage:
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if( !IsPostBack )
{
// Create a command object for the query
string mySelectQuery = "select id from vw_abcd order by ID";
SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(mySelectQuery,sqlConnection1);
sqlConnection1.Open();
DropDownList1.DataSource = myCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
DropDownList1.DataBind();
sqlConnection1.Close();
RangeValidator1.MinimumValue = "1";
RangeValidator1.MaximumValue = DropDownList1.Items.Count.ToString();
}
}
Connection string on my machine:
workstation id=wXXXXXX01;packet size=4096;user id=testuser;password=testpass;integrated security=SSPI;data source=wXXXXXX01;persist security info=False;initial catalog=TestDB"/>
Connection string on web server:
network library=DBMSSOCN;data source=xxx.xx.xxx.xxxinstance1;user id=testuser;password=testpass;initial catalog=TestDB
vbscript:
Dim connConnection, rstresultset
strConnectionString = "driver={Sql Server};server=xxx.xx.xxx.xxxinstance1;user id=testuser;password=testpass;database=TestDB"
Set connConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
connConnection.Open strConnectionString
Set rstresultset = createobject("ADODB.Recordset")
rstresultset.ActiveConnection = connConnection
rstresultset.Open "select id, comment from testtable", connConnection
msgbox rstresultset(0)
msgbox rstresultset.Fields(0).Value
Error message and stack trace:

Any ideas what's going on?????
I created a CLR procedure with a service reference in Visual Studio 2010 that is being used in SQL Server 2008 R2. We recently tried to deploy it to a 2012 SQL Server, but were unable to due to compatibility issues. When I tried to upgrade the package to Visual Studio 2013 I got this error message:
Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Tools.Package.Project.DatabaseFileNode' to type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Tools.Package.Project.Internal.FolderNode'
I tried to create this using the 2012 Data Tools, but was unable to add a service reference with the GUI. It appears Microsoft has removed this functionality. My company has a third party app that we have limited control over, which is why we need this functionality.

In database projects, VS2015, I want to create some views for me database that will reference another database table using 3 part naming reference.
Works fine in SSMS but when I try and build me project I is throwing up a reference error.
I can't import the other database into this project, so is there a way to suppress the error? I don't really want to exclude these view from the project.

/* SalesmanID is reference key from Sales Master and ProductID is reference key from Product Master. How should i restrict user through DB with any constraint check, if user tries to enter
INSERT INTO PRODUCT_SALES (Salesmanid,Productid) VALUES (1,2),
It should throw error , if possible user defined message would be more useful.

most simple guides don't seem to provide the syntax to do this. :(
does any one know any good pages to get some sql commands
and explainations thanks
