Unlike the majority of this posts, my question isnt anything technical, what i needed to know is if anyone knows any SQL Server presentation, giving a overview of the application (its history, layers, services,etc) that i can download? IĀ“ve searched on this website and on google but so far didnt had much luck since most presentations i find are very narrowed and dont give the general overview that i needed from SQL Server.
Thanks in advance and sorry about my english since its not my native language ;)
I am making my first steps to SQL.. someone can help me .... saying to me some place where it could lower papers, technical manuals, etc ... of SQL I would like knowing the commands and processes that SQL handles, with the idea of doing my own programs. Example, simple....
My question concerns the number of connections reporting services opens to generate a report with several subreports in it.
I have a main report with 3 datasets, all based on different store procs. In the same report i also have 2 subreports who each have 1 dataset, also based on store procs. When the report is being generated, how much connections does RS opens to the sql server?
I'm not really sure how to explain this, so please bear with me. I have a SQL statement, such as: SELECT TOP (10) FROM chartTracks This works with SQL Server Express 2005, but when I moved my site over to work with a MSSQL Server 2000, the statement had to be changed in order for it to work: SELECT TOP 10 FROM chartTracks I was just wondering if there was a technical term for this, and if possible, the locations of anymore sourecs of information regarding the above? I'm just writing a report and would like to include this, if possible. Thanks in advance!
I'm a newbe in SQL Server and I have to build "Detailed Technical Design" Document regarding the SQL Server . If anybody knows something or has an example / structure about this document please send me a replay.....
HelloWe have the challenge to introduce for our database applications adynmaic search for the end users. The end users are non-technicalusers.I am looking therefore for possibilities which would allow to build ownquery language with expressions according to the need and skills forthe users.I found one product so far. "EasyAsk - Decision Adviser". does somebodyknow also other tools or frameworks which can be integrated?http://www.easyask.com/product*s/decision-advisor.cfmThe environment is currently MS SQL Servers and C# Webservices.Myvision is to have a framework or library which can be seamlessintegrated into our existing solutions which is currently a smart C#clients. i.e. by using web-service or an C# API.thanks Mark Egloff
I am receiving funny results from a query. To simplify, I have 2 tables (todayyesterday). Each tbl has the same 8 columns. My query joins the two tables then looks where either of two columns has changed. What is happening is that when checking one of the columns it seems as though sql is flipping the column, causing it to be returned in error.
result set
colA colB colC colD colE colF colG colG (from yesterday) 1 1 a b c d e m 1 1 a b c d m e
So what's happening is that the record above is actually the same record and should not be returned. There is a daily pmt column that changes but I am not using that in the query. Aside from that the two records are identicle.
I have the following situation (with a site that already works and i cannot modify the database architecture and following CrossRef tables -- you will see what i mean by CrossRef tables below)
foreach hotel, there definitely is a crossRef entry in AddressCrossRef and Address tables respectively (since every hotel has an address)
however not all hotels have thumbnail image
hence i have hotel inner join AddressXReff inner join Address ..... however i must have left outer join mediaXref left outer join media
the problem is that if there is no entry in Media or mediaXref, I don't get any results
i tried to get over it by using where (media.mediaTyple like 'thumbnail' or media.mediaType is null) but then i started getting multiple results for each hotel because media's of type movie or full_image or etc... all got returned
I am experiencing a big problem with my SQL Server- it won't start. Every time I attempt to start it I get an error "Error 1069 (The service did not start due to logon failure) occurred while performing this service operation on the MSSQLService service. " sa will not work either. I have not made any system changes recently. I tried to use regrbld but nothing happened. Is there anything else I can do short of reinstalling SQL7?
...So glad there are still folks out there running 6.5! We've been running 6.5 and 7.0 for the last year or so (one of our apps required 6.5). SQL 6.5 is running on an Alpha box, and SQL 7.0 is running on an Intel box. I want to install 6.5 on yet another Intel box, then install 7.0 on that SAME box so that I can perform the DTS. (Doing DTS across different CPU types failed to transfer application objects.) After that is successful, I will uninstall the 6.5 on the Intel box and no longer use the Alpha box for SQL. Both the Alpha and Intel boxes are on the same Windows NT domain.
Here is the issue. After performing the CD install of 6.5 on the Intel box, I get a message that the install could not be performed successfully because the MSSQL service could not be started. When I attempt to start it manually from Control Panel, I get an NT Error 3 - that the path cannot be found. (And the errorlog says that the server is unnamed.) So the MSSQL folder exists, the MSSQL Server and SQL Exec services are visible in Control Panel (unstarted), the registry contains SQL Server info, but the only way I've been able to start SQL Server at all is by using the Net Start MSSQLserv command.
I have repeated this step a few times - by deleting the MSSQL folder and re-running SETUP. At no point does NT remove the MSSQL services or the registry entries. In the end, NT or MSSQL still cannot find the "path" needed to start up SQL Server.
What do I need to do to "reset the clock" so that NT knows where to find these services?
I was trying to restore a master database. This is what I did: 1. rebuild the master database and it was successful 2. restart server in single mode with sqlservr.exe -c -m and I got the following window:

I have recently invested in a new server that is running SBS premium, this come with SQL server and as a result of which I feel its time for me to start getting to grips with it.
I have reasonable knowledge of database design and SQL, extensive experience with access and some with Oracle. I have however never dealt with SQL server.
I generally don't have too much trouble picking up new technologies, and was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for learning SQL server from scratch? Is it realistic to be able to achieve this without doing a formal course? I intend to start using it to develop data-driven websites and applications.
Any help, advice and/or pointers are greatly appreciated.
Getdate() will get me the date, but how I can calculate two other datetime values corresponding to the very first second and the very last second of the current day?
Eg.
Today is 2008-04-09 <whatever time> Startdate should be 2008-04-09 00:00:01 Enddate should be 2008-04-09 23:59:59
Ram writes "Hi mate, I am New in this forum. I am working as developer in C++ and .net ( 4 Years). I plan to do the SQL SERVER 2005 and do some Microsoft certification. I really don't know where I can start and which source is suitable for me. I already download the express edition and I play arround that.
could you all please help me for this. I am awaiting your good response.

Where would be a good place to start learning SQL? I know all the links in the e-mail that I got sent when I registered....but there not very help full.
I'm new in the field of Microsoft products and particularly with the Microsoft SQL Server. So in the beginning I would like to ask some questions and to understand the base lines. First thing is, I heard that there are several editions of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 : standard, workgroup, express, developer. I would like to know what is the difference between each of them. I suppose that developer means that it should be good for a developers to use this edition, but compared to the Standard edition or to the Express edition what are the main differences. In my case I'll use the server for a little, not complicated, database and may be there will be a migration to do from some old Access database to the new one (under SQL Server). Is the edition of the SQL Server important for doing that ? And my last question is about the compatibility between the SQL Server 2000 and 2005. In fact the server that is in use currently is version 2000 but in the future months the administrator plans to upgrade the software to the 2005 version. So I'm asking myself, if I start to develop for directly for 2005 version, is the product will be entirely compatible with the current version (2000)? That's all I think for now.
I had a small power outage and after that, SQL Server (2000) is not starting. I press the start button, it looks like it tries to do something (since all the buttons get disabled) and then its back to square one. I tried this from command line: sqlservr.exe -c -f but it does not help either. I checked the SQL Server logs and this is what I found: 2007-08-08 10:05:09.63 spid3 Starting up database 'master'. 2007-08-08 10:05:09.63 spid3 Error: 823, Severity: 24, State: 6. 2007-08-08 10:05:09.63 spid3 08/08/07 10:05:09 Stack Overflow Dump not possible - Exception c00000fd E at 0x004436DD 2007-08-08 10:05:09.63 spid3 Address=4436dd Exception Code = c00000fd I tried to google but could not find a solid solution.
Dear Friends,I cannot start my SQL Server 2005. When I'm trying to conect to local database it's showing me error:TITLE: Connect to Server------------------------------Cannot connect to WIN2006.------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)This error mean that server not started.When I read more details (error log in SQL Configuration Manager) I found that the source of the problem - "master" table was compressed. It should be decompressed to start server. What's this? I'm seeing this kind of error first time. Need your advise guys!
I've just installed VS.NET and have installed MSDE. All has gone well so far. I followed the instructions for setting a db password during install and the installer seemed to do its job. The SQL Server Service Manager runs in the taskbar when I reboot but the status icon is a white circle... The status bar indicates that it is not connected.
After installing WebMatrix on my computer, I installed Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) in my computer, but I can't see MSDE on my Start menu. I am really new to this and don't know how to open MSDE, so I could work with it. Nothing displayed after I installed MSDE, such as the typical "Installation is complete."
Sorry for such a silly question, but please help me. How can I open MSDE from the Start menu. I have windows XP Home.
I have the following error when trying to test EMail from SQL.
I have logged onto the server and sent EMail using the SQLServer Service Account and the Profile is correct. This tells me that Outlook is working OK and the Exchange Server is sending OK. However, lookin on TechNet Q274330 mentions the error number but it's description is about Emailing an open file. I am not Emailing an open file.
Here's the error message.
xp_startmail 'eweb02mail'
