I'd like to capture the avg. # of user logins and # db hits per a 5 interval for a weeks time. I'm guessing there are sys tables containing this info. and by using temporary tables and/or creating/modifying SPROCS this info. can be retrieved. If I'm on the right track, a little direction would be very appreciated. If I'm not on track, please assist this rookie dba.
Thank you,

ok, first, I know... I forgot to run a backup of the master database, and I forgot to run a script to caputure logins. Not that that is out of the way... I need to recreate the logins under the Securities tab below the databases. All the company databases have the user names and passwords assigned to them, but they are not able to login, because they are not able to authenticate to the SQL server first.
Is there a script that someone has that will copy the company database security info for the users and recreate them in the SQL security tab?
I know that I can rebuild them manually, but I need to delete them first in the application software, then delete them from the databases, and then recreate them in the application software... and as simple as that sounds... it is a slow moving process.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John
Hello!
is it possible to have the count(*) to display 0 when there is no matching hits for that n_id?
my query looks like this but only displays the n_id and it's respective count(*) when count(*) is more than 0...
select n_id, count(*) from tblTable
where nSomething > nSomethingElse AND nSomething IS NOT NULL
group by n_id
any idaes?
This routine works in most cases, but fails when a bad date is enteredsuch as:19910631 -- there is no June 31st.Instead of ignoring the bad date the entire DTS job fails. Obviouslythis is something that should be validated at data entry, butunfortunately the only control I have is when appending to the tablewith these data quirks.

I would move a Database to another server. I try to use DTS but I have problems with this process because DB have big tables, I think. I try to use DETACH and ATTACH procedures but logins doesn't export. And more, in new server there are already logins from another DBs.

I am a systems analyst and work with an app that runs against 2 SQL Server DBs. Though I have some familiarity with SQL Server and SQL, I am not a DBA.
The app executable is tied to a Windows service.
When we install the app, we run a process that builds 2 dbs to include:
Tables, indexes, stored procedures, views and user accounts.
SQL Server is set up for mixed mode authentication.
Normally, the dbs run off the local db user accounts which are tied to local logins with the same names.
We have a client that wants to remove our standard logins so that they can run on only a Windows login.
I know I should be able to tie the db users to a Windows login.
And I can do the same for the service.
But I am at a loss as to how to get this done.
How do you associate db users with a Windows login?
When I have tried sp_change_users_login I get an error that the Windows login does not exist. (Though I have added the Windows account to the DB.)
Hope this all makes sense.
Hi.
This is my first attempt at a using stored procedures and I'm a bit confused.
I'm trying to follow as many best practices as I can to improve speed, security and scalability. However, I can't find a solution to what I think should be a simple problem.
I have a search page where users enter the criteria of properties they are interested in (bedrooms, price etc...). That takes them to a results page where the properties are displayed.
The problem is that I want the amount of times each property has been shown on the results page to be tracked so the property owner gets statistics.
The property details are all held in a single table along with the amount of times each property has be shown:
Table Name: zk_Property_USA
ID
INT
User_ID
INT
Property_Type
TINYINT
Market_Status
TINYINT
Price
INT
Bedrooms
TINYINT
Address_State
VARCHAR
Address_Location
VARCHAR
Property_Description
VARCHAR
Searched
INT
0
Contacted
INT
0
I'm trying to find a way to SELECT all the property details to be returned to my results page and UPDATE the "Searched" field by 1 without re-scanning the table for the UPDATE.
Is there a way to update "Searched" at the time when the record is chosen to be a result? I am using SQL Server 2005 and Visual Basic ASP.NET 2.0.
Many Thanks
In any asp.net application, whats the simplest way to monitor how many times a page hits the database (opens and closes a connection)?

Hello,
i am making a Fulltextsearch on MS SQL Server 2005 (indexed, with "Contains").
Because of performance reasons i am only showing the first 200 rows mssql finds ("select top 200...:").
Is there any possibility to get the estimated totalnumber of all rows? i have heard something that is possible to get this in mssql-server. The server then estimates how many rows with that searchword could be in the whole database. google i.e. makes the same thing....
is that true? what do i have to do to get this?

I am serving ad-units. In each ad-unit I show somewhere between 3 and 10 article headline. I track the headline impressions to get an idea of the headline click through rate. I save the output from the stats process in another table. I am currently evaluating the stats every hour, and then truncating the table every night at midnight. The problem is that I get lots of impressions and the database gets bogged down evaluating the data such as...
SELECT COUNT FROM articleimpressions WHERE articleid = x
But the issue isn't the reporting of the data...so much as it's the capture. I had to add caching on the ad-server because the database couldn't handle the number of inserts.
I thought about parsing the web server log files the next day, but the file sizes seem to be too large, and I can't process them all in one day. (At least not on the hardware that I am using.)
I've thought about splitting log files by hour, but was wondering if there may be a more "native" solution within SQL Server? Maybe a trigger, and/or multi-threaded SP that fires and forgets an insert statement to a linked server. But performance is the key here.
Thoughts?

Hello friends
I am new to SQL database design.I am having a table name customerletter_master in which all details of customer letters are saved.At a time i.e in single second around 200- 400 entry are made in customerletter_master table. Hits to customerletter_master table are more.
Following fields are used in customerletter_master – CID (autogen number), letterno(primary key),consignee, consignor, letterstatus1, letterstatus2, letterstatus3, POD, and some more fields. When letter passes to different stages letterstatus1 is filled to yes and then letterstatus2 and letterstatus3 are filled according to passage of letter.
And at same time many user can accesses the customerletter_master table to search any letter according to letterno. Therefore customerletter_master is used to enter data and to search data at same time and there can be more than 200-400 users doing add and search records to and from customerletter_master
how should i design this table. What should i use to enter and search record and minimize the table hits made by the user at same time. Should i use store procedures or any other method to add and search record. Plz help me out by giving some example.
I'm trying to piece together some code on how to find members of our organization who have visited our website.

I am working on a web application and I have three stored procedures that most likely will be called one after the other. Each procedure accepts at least 4 parameters. Instead if I create one stored procedure, then I will be passing at least 12 parameters. Some of the parameters could be quite bulky(at least 1000 characters).
So which one is better, 1 stored procedure with 12 parameters or 3 stored procedures with 4 parameters each called one after the other.

Hi all,
I am new to .NET, after many years with classic ASP I am struggling a little with something that I am sure is really easy to do.
Basically what I want to do, is execute an SQL statement, that will return a single value. I then need to store this value as a variable, so that I can pass it into another query later.
It seems easy to output the record, but how do I store it as a variable !!
This is my code to connect and run the SQL... all I need to do as retreive the value, and put it aganist a variable....
Function higher_manager_ein() As System.Data.IDataReader
Dim connectionString As String = "server='myserver'; user id='userid'; password='pwd'; database='DB'"

Dim queryString As String = "SELECT distinct MEASURE FROM [CCC_MEASURE] where ein = '" & request("man_ein2") & "'"
Dim dbCommand As System.Data.IDbCommand = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand

Hi y'all....long time, I know...
I have what OUGHT to be a simple question...or so I think (which really hurts, mind you...)
I am writing a stored proc that will reside on several different databases and be used to write a row to a "wait table" that is used to control processing in the various databases...
Essentially, the stored proc already exists, and writes what is essentially a note (or process semaphore) that says "Hey, Process XYZ is waiting on the completion of process 123"
Problem is...process XYZ has the same name on a number of different servers, so I have to come up with a way to differentiate the process name that's waiting on a job on a single server (in other words, 5 or more XYZ's can be waiting on a single job on a single server in the network, and the wait table resides on that single server).
So...my thought (again, think pain) is that I will put a process name of "SERVER.XYZ" into the wait table.
The SP I will use to write the "waiting on" semaphore is a common one, so - long story short(er) I need a way to capture the name of the current server (like db_name(), only server_name() - or something like it).
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...

Is there a clean way to do this?

I've just been reading this thread by a guy asking about capturing the throughput of a dataflow. I suggested that there is no real notion of capturing throughput of a dataflow but I believe there IS a notion of capturing the throughput of a component or an execution tree.
I believe all the information that one would need to capture the throughput of a component (apart from the name of the component that is) is available in the OnPipelineRowsSent event. If there were a OnPipelineRowsSent eventhandler and the OnPipelineRowsSent event contained the name of the component then I think we would be able to capture the throughput of a component. So, some questions:
Why is there no eventhandler for the OnPipelineRowsSent event?
Can the name of the component be added to the information in the OnPipelineRowsSent event?
Following on from this... I once had a conversation here with Kirk Haselden about capturing pipeline throughput. He thought it was a good idea and suggested I raised a DCR for it which I did but that was in the old pre-Connect days and it seems as though that DCR (like SO many other things) didn't make it across to Connect. So, some more questions:
Can you find any Connect DCRs relating to capturing throughput? I've found this: https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=152162 that I raised 18 months ago but which hasn't even had a single comment from anyone at Microsoft.
Do you think that capturing throughput would be useful? I can foresee huge advantages by capturing this in the debugger. (Note that Informatica does this and has done for years. It has a very nice GUI that shows the throughput of each destination in the mapplet.)
I'd welcome any thoughts around this. Its a big ask and it fits in very nicely with my constant, nay INCESSENT, requests for debugging enhancements so maybe this is one for Darvey to have a read of???
Thanks

My question is this.....
I inherited an application that creates reports and each report pulls data from a SQL database. The reports are for each School district in the state and pull the number of students that have Asthma conditions, simple enough. However what happens is this... Each initial report is saved with a code of 2 for initial. As long as there aren't and revisions I am fine. If a school makes a revision (Code of 4) I now have two records in the database and I need the one from the revision (Code 4). Not every record will have a revision, and sometimes there may be multiple revisions. How can I code my stored procedure to go through the database and check to see if there is a code of 4 or multiple codes of 4 and if so grab that data, if not grab the initial data?

Hello.
I would like to analyze how a particular 3rd party business application interacts with SQL server.
Specifically, I want to capture the "exact" SQL commands (transact-sql statements) that this application issues whenever it completes an operation for the user of this application.
In other words, suppose the application issues the SQL command "INSERT INTO table (a,b,c) values (1,2,3)" to add a new entry to the database. Then, my understanding is that if I instead issue the exact same command with a tool like "SQL query analyzer", the database will be updated in the exact same manner. Hence, I have effectively accomplished the same job that the 3rd party application does without even using it (by idependantly issuing the same command to the database it uses).
Is this possible? Can I obtain all the information I need just by running SQL Profiler?

I currently have a need to dynamically build an sql statement that always returns a single value when executed. The sql statement is always the same except the database name reference in the statment.
What I need is to be able to capture that value for later use in the procedure. Since this is a stored procedure, I can't use the "USE" statment to switch databases and I haven't been able to figure this out using the Execute statement. I can execute the string, but I can't capture the value.
I'm simply trying to execute the same set of sql statements in a stored procedure without hardcoding database names or build an identical stored procedure in all our databases.
Any help is appreciated.
