All- Can anyone recommend a tool that generates ER diagrams and allows for the integration of narrative text that describes tables, relationships, rules, etc?
My company uses SQL Server 2005.
Thanks.

dun need sophisticated interactive reports, but just simple basic rigid reporting will do :D
looking for a simple tool for my end users. Crystal Reports a bit overkill.....
Im trying to create a line graph for displaying the number of page views, in this instance for the last 7 days, problem is I would like to dispaly the graph as the last 7 days, so for today, tuesday would be the last day to hold a value on the graph and the six previous would be monday through wednesday descending, currently the values for the graph are thrown in by the day where monday always shows in the same position in the graph which is not that great,, (hope that makes sense)
If I could get the values out of the database in the right order I can use them to display in the graph as like,
Currently this is not as as I like,
SELECT COUNT([Day]) as num,[Day],dDate FROM ListingStats
WHERE iListingID=12
AND (dDate <= GetDate() AND dDate >= DateAdd(d,-7,GetDate()))
GROUP BY [DAY],dDate
ORDER BY [DAY] ASC
where the date is a datetime field, can I trunc this to get just the date so this current format will work? day represents an Enum of the day of the week 1=monday etc
Greetings
I need to be able to graph roughly about 150 employees/ supervisor and their monthly cell phone usage in minutes. I understand that I will need to group this on say one graph for every ten employees so it doesn't look messy and cluttered. I have read some threads here but they dont seem to work for me.
So again each supervisor has 100+ subordinates and I need to graph theie phone usage by month
thoughts???

Hi,
I've been a developer for 20 some years, but never learned the design steps of a complex database. Can you give me a book or 2 to bring me up to speed with the latest database design and data modeling techniques?
thanks.....
Hi
I am having some trouble with our Veritas Backup Exec not properly releasing db backup files, & thus interfering with the deleting of old backups.
We have other servers still needing tape backups implemented and
I wonder if anyone has a good backup software/hardware system to recommend, that is ideal for database backups, & on the hardware side is reliable?
Anyone have any to recommend?
thx

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all.I'm looking for a tool which should act like some kind of middleware/logical layer bewtween the SQL server and the webbased user interface.- It should be possible to easily create simple web forms (only datainput and output) without programming effort by "clicking" the fieldsand their order on the web mask within an admnistrative interface.- It should also be bossible to add "new fields" to the database,including field type, permissions, value lists etc. (excluding anybusiness logic) without programming effort by administration.I know, that most workflow tools or "Trouble Ticket Tools", based ondatabases have this feature to easily configure new masks and add newfields to the database, but i need it as an tool-unspecific layer forthe MS SQL Server.Thank you very much for your feedback, any ideas are welcome!Best regards, Heiko.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,I'm looking for recommendations for SQL tools used for comparing schemas from different databases. I would like the tool to be able to compare schemas for at least two databases and list the difference in tables, sps, functions, and view. Even if the both schemas contain the same structures I would like to know what differences exist. Also, I would like to be able to type in a table field name and get a list of every place in the db that field is referenced. On another note, how do others go about maintaining a version history of db structures? Any tools available for this functionality? Currently, I use visual source safe for my app. code. I could place copies of my SPs in visual source safe and edit them within visual studio. I'm not sure how I would easily get the edited version into my sql database without having to create a script or copy the edited version back to the db. Any thoughts?Any information is appreciated.Oscar
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi guys, Im trying to use Bulk copy to transform a csv file into a table
BULK INSERT [BULK_INSERT_TEST]
FROM 'c:stock.csv'
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = 'N'
)
--*STOCK LOOKS LIKE THIS
stockcode,barcode,qty
10002,"10002087",0
TABLE Looks like this
id, stock,barcode, qty
can anyone give any guidance on performing this - at present this doesn't seem to work. Worth mentioning id is autoincrementing. I would also need to strip quotes around the second field. Note. Stock file has a header - do I need to strip this to use BCP?
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
I am using bcp to copy some data from a flat file to a data table using the format file that look like this.
9.0
7
1 SQLCHAR 0 4 "" 1 Col1 SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
2 SQLCHAR 0 9 "" 2 Col2 SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
3 SQLCHAR 0 8 "" 3 Col3 ""
4 SQLCHAR 0 7 "" 4 Col4 SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
There are 4 columns in total, however some rows have missing values for Column 4, and but given there are no field separators (all columns have fixed width and data is truncated if needed), how should the format be written to define a row terminator to apply to Column 3 if Column 4 is null.
Thanks for your suggestions.
I'm in the process of delivering a SQL Server BI solution to a customer. I have the cube built, SSIS working and an SSRS package with several hundred reports. They would like to roll their own reports.
I've looked at ProClarity (or whatever MS calls it now) and Report Builder. Both seem to have their pros and cons.
What tool does the community recommend?
Thanks.
I think Service Broker is the right tool for what I want to do but need confirmation. Here is what I want to do.
Our company sells small business consulting services. When a client signs up with us, we put a server at their site that runs our app (using SQL Server 2005). Once the server is setup at their site and operational we constantly send certain information from that server to our central corporate server. There could be thousands of records every day being sent from each of these servers to our corporate server. We're using webservices now to transfer this data from each server but I'm afraid we're reaching a point where webservices will no longer work because of the volume of data.
1) I assume that Service Broker was created, in part at least, to address these types of situations?
2) If #1 is correct, is there any step by step examples/instruction that shows me how to use Service Broker to communicate between two SQL Server databases on two different servers?
Thanks very much.

I downloaded the StudentActivities sample app from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345152.aspx
When I want to go through this tutorial I encounter the following problem:
Database 'C:WebSitesStudentActivitiesRegistryDataStudentActivities.mdf' cannot be upgraded because its non-release version (587) is not supported by this version of SQL Server. You cannot open a database that is incompatible with this version of sqlservr.exe. You must re-create the database.Could not open new database 'C:WebSitesStudentActivitiesRegistryDataStudentActivities.mdf'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 950)
So attaching the DB seems to doesn't work. The reason for this is probably that this sample app src was written in an older version of Visual WebDeveloper Express 2005 +SQL Server Express 2005.
Therefore I would like if someone can provide me with the sql src of this StudentActivities database. Then I can create the database myself from this. Or is there some tool which canconvert a mdf to sql?
I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance.

I have a typed dataset where I used the sql query builder to build the following:
SELECT DealManager.*, Contact AS Expr1FROM DealManagerWHERE (Contact = @Contact)
How can I incorporate the "where % % " clause into this statement and still except the required parameter. In other words, I want something like this:
SELECT DealManager.*, Contact AS Expr1FROM DealManagerWHERE (Contact like %@Contact%)
but I get an error when I compile this...
Any help always appreciated!!!

Hi,
I've been having trouble getting this tool to work with my server/database. I'm using XP Pro, MSDE, .NET 1.1.4322 and IIS 5.1. IIS has been installed and tested with the help of others. .asp pages are being served locally and to another PC on the network. No obvious problem here. When I installed MSDE I used the SAPWD='strongpassword" command to create a password. I also built a new database. I had positive feedback on both of these actions.
Now to the tool - when I activate the administrator it pops with the little window saying Web Server Configuration. It lists the following options:
Desired Port:
IIS
Cassini Personal Web Server
Restore Faults
and Start and Stop buttons.
If I leave the setting on IIS and click Start it opens a webpage entitled Web Data Administrator. Moving further down I have a welcome message and then the line -
Please enter a SQL Server name:
Username: [Desktopob shadowed entry]
Password
Server (local)
Authentication Method:
Windows Intergrated
SQl Login
and then a Login button
If I select SQL Login and enter "sa" as the username and then my password leaving (local) as the server I get the following error:
Invalid username and/or password, you are using a windows login that is not your own, or server does not exist.
I have tried all combination of \desktopsa, sa, you name it. The password I selected is correct because I made a point of writing it down so I wouldn't forget it. I have also tried all the combos using Cassini as well.
This is where I'm stuck at this point. All suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
Hello,
For management that doesn't have the software I do, I've been using a PDF postscript utility to print the model and give it to them. However, I have to fit the model for the specific page (which is really small, and you have to zoom in), or you have to view it on multiple pages. Well multiple pages can be a pain, because the table you are looking at is on page 1, but the relationships are on page 12, 22, or 50, for example. So I was looking for a tool that is cheap enough to implement that we could look at the entire model on one "surface" (not necessary to print), that the model could be viewed in.
Thanks,
Brian

Does anyone know of a T-SQL Reporting Tool that can be attached to either SQL 7 and/or 2000 databases.
I am looking for something similar to the Oracle 'Discoverer' tool.
The requirements are that users be able to create there own reports using a GUI with the minimum of prior knowledge of T-SQL.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
David Goodman.
1) Is there a tool out there that formats sql code for (SQL 2000) ?
2) if you have a date split into year = 2002, month =1 and day= 22
how can l combine it or rather concatenate it so it looks like
'2002-01-22'
Hi all -
I'm looking for a free or shareware database design tool that can connect to Sql Server 2000. Anyway know of one? Thanks

Hi all,
I am new to the db world so please let me know if I don't make any since.
I was wondering if there is an open source SQL database monitoring tool out there that I can run on my desktop that would give me a log of what is going on on the database (or the server).
Thanks.
