I like to know is there another approach with CTE and or Cross Apply I can use instead?
Hi guys,
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. Not done too much DB admin. Usually I do development work and the admins to the admin.
The database is behind an API of stored procedures to manipulate the data, and views to select the data.
The database needs to be accessed remotely by multiple clients.
How best to keep the database secure?
Create a new user and login on the database which is made known to all client applications. Then grant execute permission on the stored procs and grant select on the views?
There is probably a better way than one login for all? Should I be looking at roles and groups etc? If so, how best to set that up?
A few pointers would be gratefully received!
How do you limit access to data based on Active Directory group membership and/or SQL Server database access?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi... I'm reading the MS Press 70-442 Self-Paced Training kit, and I'm having problems with this example.
I'd like help getting it to work correctly, or understand why it is isn't working the way I planned.
On page 67, the lab is about the APPLY operator (CROSS APPLY and OUTER APPLY). I first have to input a sample table-valued function into the AdventureWorks database:
Code Block
CREATE FUNCTION fnGetAvgCost(@ProdID int)
RETURNS @RetTable TABLE (AvgCost money)
AS
BEGIN
WITH Product(stdcost)
AS
(
SELECT avg(standardcost) as AvgCost
FROM Production.ProductCostHistory
WHERE ProductID = @ProdID
)
INSERT INTO @RetTable
SELECT * FROM Product
RETURN
END
and then run a sample T-SQL statement
Code Block
SELECT p.Name, p.ProductNumber,
Convert(varchar, cost.AvgCost,1) AS 'Average Cost'
FROM Production.Product p
CROSS APPLY fnGetAvgCost(p.ProductID) AS cost
WHERE cost.AvgCost IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY cost.AvgCost desc
My problem is with the WHERE clause... According to page 56, CROSS APPLY returns only rows from the outer table that produces a result set, so why do I need to explicitly filter NULL values?
When I remove the WHERE clause, the query retrieves lots of NULL AvgCost values.
Again, according to page 56, it is the OUTER APPLY that returns all rows that return a result set and will include NULL values in the columns that are returned from the table-valued function.
So, in short, I don't see the difference between CROSS APPLY and OUTER APPLY, using this example, when I remove the WHERE clause?
(Please refrain from introducing another example into this question.)
I have an SSRS 2012 table report with groups; each group is broken ie. one group for one page, and there are multiple groups in multiple pages.
'GroupName' column has multiple values - X,Y,Z,......
I need to group 'GroupName' with X,Y,Z,..... ie value X in page 1,value Y in page 2, value Z in page 3...
Now, I need to display another column (ABC) in this table report (outside the group column 'GroupName'); this outside column itself is another column header (not a group header) in the table (report) and it derives its name partly from the 'GroupName' values:
Example:
Value X for GroupName in page 1 will mean, in page 1, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-X Value Y for GroupName in page 2 will mean, in page 2, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-Y Value Z for GroupName in page 3 will mean, in page 3, column Name of
ABC column must be ABC-Z
ie the column name of ABC (Clm ABC) must be dynamic as per the GroupName values (X,Y,Z....)
Page1:
GroupName Clm ABC-X
X
Page2:
GroupName Clm ABC-Y
Y
Page3:
GroupName Clm ABC-Z
Z
I have been able to use First(ReportItems!GroupName.Value) in the Page Header to get GroupNames displayed in each page; I get X in page 1, Y in page 2, Z in page 3.....
However, when I use ReportItems (that refers to a group name) in the Report Body outside the group,
I get the following error:
Report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope
I need to get the X, Y, Z ... in each page for the column ABC.
I have been able to use this - First(Fields!GroupName.Value); however, I get ABC-X, ABC-X, ABC-X in each of the pages for the ABC column, instead of ABC-X in page 1, ABC-Y in page 2, ABC-Z in page 3, ...

I have a table called Courses with columns "courseCode" "courseName" and "TeacherName"Im passing in a value @prefixText ...I have the following...Select courseModuleCode from courses Where courseModuleCode like @prefixTextwhat I actually want to do is return one list, i.e. one column that will do the same for "courseName" and "TeacherName" aswell based on what the @prefix tag is...so i will end up with one column that may contains some or all of the following courseModuleCode, courseName, TeacherName. Im basically implementing a search on this table and want the users to search by any of the column nameshope this makes sense.

In ExecuteSQLTask:
want the original sql statement of <<backup database databaeABC to backup_databaseABC with init>> to be
backup database ? to 'backup_' + ? with init
But it looks the parameter could not place a globalVariable to it and parse it with error.
One alternate way probably need to create a proc to pass a parm to it....
Also, how could pass a globalVariable to a FTP task?

We have a Pub, Dist and Sub Server all running under SP2 with worm update and are looking to apply SP3a . Replication is transactional with heavy usage . What is the best sequence to apply SP3

I want to apply lock on a row, where by when another application is trying to access the locked row the application will automatically move to the next row instead of waiting for the locked row
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install sql server sp3a. I checked the version before and after the sp is applied, and it shows:
8.00.194
Now, according to the sp3a readme:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=/support/servicepacks/SQL/2000/SP3ReadMe.asp
the following versions should show:
SQL Server 2000 Original Release 8.00.194 RTM
Database Components SP1 or Desktop Engine SP1 8.00.384 SP1
Database Components SP2 or Desktop Engine SP2 8.00.534 SP2
Database Components SP3 or SP3a, or Desktop Engine SP3 or SP3a 8.00.760 SP3
This would imply that after installing sp3a and restarting, the version reported should now be 8.00.760. However, it still shows 8.00.194. So it appears to have not really installed, althought the sp3a installation ran without incident. So, how can I get the sp3a to not just act like it installed, but actually get it to install? Also, I have shut down all mssql services and rebooted, applied patch, and rebooted again. Doesn't help.
Also, if it is really installing, is there another way to tell?
Anyway, I really need to be able to install sp3a to see if it fixes another problem I'm having. Unfortunetly, since I can't even tell if the sp3a is installing, I can't tell if it really doesn't help or not. Thanks.

Hi,
I have data about amount which is Decimal in my Excel file . The data is like this: $100.24. So In my SQLServer, I declared Amount column as Decimal. Before doing the exporting this data into SQLServer table, I need to remove $ symbol from the amounts. I applied like this:
Substring([Amount], 1, Length([Amount]-1). It is giving error : Incorrect format or data invalid when I entered this expression in Derived column. How to remove $ sign and store the remaining part from the Amount field?
