I have about 20 remote databases that I need a query/scheduled task to run that generates a .rpt file. That part I can get.
However, I need to get this file to another company (via email or ftp, etc) and make it automated.
For example:
Scheduled task runs twice a month and generates a file that then needs to be emailed to an individual or ftp'd to a ftpsite. Is there a way to do this in SQL 7.0 (or 6.5)?

I am a bit into this one and it is kind of bugging me as i have not figured it out yet after 1 hour. I have a web task in a Sql Server 2K that generates ASP code and ftps it to a remote location. This is nothing fancy: selects a few fields from a few tables and creates an HTML page into a file with a *.asp extension. It is much like a report that gets ship from the intranet to the Internet side of our business. You can do something similar by using the Tools>>Wizards>>Management>>Web Assistant Wizard... inside Enterprise Manager. The page looks fine but the problem (my) is that the rows all have the same color - white the default. I am using a template [*.tpl] and the alternating color for the rows <tr> has to come from the data in the query. Now what I would like to do is something like this to get alternating colors in my table rows: declare @bgcolor nvarchar(12) set @bgcolor = 'white' select @bgcolor = CASE @bgcolor WHEN 'white' THEN 'gray' WHEN 'gray' THEN 'white' ELSE 'white' END, , field1 , field2 , field3 from table1 inner join table2.... where .... And, maybe get results like these: 'white', 'field1res', 2, 3 'gray', 'field1res, 3, 3 'white', ....etc. The above DOES NOT WORK. Maybe because T-SQL is a set based language trying to do something like this is not appropriate - aka procedural. It does, however, still bugs the hell out of me. :) Maybe I should investigate using Reporting Services to handle this requirement. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
Dear all, i have a challenging problem in writing a trigger here,,
here is the database script

Categories and Categories_Properties are joined by CategoryID Properties and Categories_Properties are joined by PropertyID
there is a relation between the table Categories and itself, the PrimaryKey is CategoryID, the ForiegnKey is ParentID
the problem is i need a trigger to fire when adding a record in Categories_Properties to add this property to all the children for this Category, for eexample if the categories tree
Autos >> Cars >> FIAT
when adding the Property BRAND to to Autos, this Property had to be inserted to Cars and FIAT too, i wrote some trigger but it adds this property to just the direct children, just to cars, How to update it to include all the children in all levels till the leaf ones??
here is what i wrote -----------------------Trigger------------------------- CREATE TRIGGER [inherete_property] ON [dbo].[Categories_Properties] FOR INSERT AS declare @CatID integer,@PropID integer --set @CatID=select CategoryID from inserted set @PropID=(select top 1(PropertyID) from inserted) DECLARE cat_cursor CURSOR FOR select CategoryID from Categories where ParentID in (select CategoryID from inserted) open cat_cursor fetch next from cat_cursor into @CatID WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN insert into categories_Properties(CategoryID,PropertyID) values (@CatID,@PropID)

This problem occurs in a Visual Basic 5 application which accesses the SQL Server 6.5 database through Jet Engine(DAO).
If a user starts a transaction and then his application terminates abnormally (before rolling back or committing), say due to power failure or if the user kills the application with Ctrl+Alt+Delete, then the transaction started by him is not terminated (rolled back) by SQL Server. Even the process cannot be killed using the "Kill" command and the user keeps holding all the locks that he has already acquired. Also nobody can use Enterprise Manager. This happens when you have lock on more than 8 tables including tables in tempdb. The only way to solve this problem is to restart the server which is never expected in a multiuser system.
One can know the threadID of the process that needs to be killed using "Sysprocesses" system table. Is it possible to kill the thread in Windows NT?
Is there any setting due to which SQL SERVER will automatically kill a process or rollback a transaction started by a disconnected client ?
Is it possible that a process or transaction will have to release lock after the specified time ?
How does one figure out, I mean compare the results after some changes have been done to the SQL Server, I mean the method in which the comparision is done, lets say I have a query I ran it it gave me the results in 40 seconds , I ran it again this time it took 30 seconds, then I again ran it it took 35 seconds, I then created an index , this time the query ran in 30 seconds ... how does one compare such things , I mean i need to give stats as too what kind of performace has takern place ... please helpo , I need to knw as a DBa how would you convince your maanger that becasue of some changes the performance has improved, cause when you ask the users they say its ok , we dont see the differnece & stuff , please help.

First, please reference the following document which shows the layout of the database and tables: http://www.eastproject.org/cody/table_layout.pdf Here's the deal-- I have two databases, SiteData and CommunityServer2. Both run on the same MS SQL 2000 Server. We're concerned about two tables on each database: SiteData.dbo.Users, SiteData.dbo.UM_User_Access_Type, CommunityServer2.dbo.aspnet_Users and CommunityServer2.dbo.aspnet_UsersInRoles. Whever a user is inserted into the CommunityServer2.dbo.aspnet_Users table, I need to give the user appropriate rules (e.g., moderator, student, etc.) by inserting the correct RoleID in the SiteData.dbo.aspnet_UsersInRoles table. Have I lost you yet? Good. Please reference the following trigger: ALTER TRIGGER trig_UpdateForumRoles ON CommunityServer2.dbo.aspnet_Users AFTER INSERTAS DECLARE @Username VARCHAR(100) --variable to hold the username from CommunityServer2.aspnet_UsersDECLARE @UserType VARCHAR(50) --variable to hold the username from SiteData.dbo.UM_User_Access_TypeDECLARE @UserID uniqueidentifier --variable to hold the username from CommunityServer2.aspnet_UsersBEGIN SELECT @Username=Username, @UserID=UserID FROM Inserted --should only return one record, meaning we'd only insert one record in aspnet_Users at a time.

I can create the trigger fine (so no syntax problems); however, it's not updating the aspnet_UsersInRoles table.
I am using SQL Server7 to store many thousands of distinct attributes for a product. Because SQL Server7 has a columns-per-table limitation of 1024, I had to decide between spreading the attributes among multiple tables or try a "link table" approach which would only use two tables. I chose the "link table" approach because I thought it would be a more elegant solution. I have had success using this approach up to the point of doing complex filtering of the records. This is where I need help.
Here is this "link table" approach database schema:
Instead of having tables with many columns, I use a single table to list the thousands of attributes. I then use another table to associate an attribute with a product and a attribute value.
The problem i am having is building a filter query that will get products that have multiple attribute values. Example, I want to find all products that have a attribute value of 'AAA' and an attribute value of 'BBB'. Because the attribute values are not in separate columns, a simple AND in a WHERE clause does not work- i get zero records returned. Here is sample SQL:
SELECT DISTINCT ProductItemID FROM tblProductItemAdditional WHERE ((AttributeValue = 'AAA') AND (AttributeValue = 'BBB'));
My question to you is- How do I filter the records to get the results I want?
I have started looking in cascading select statements. I am worried about cascading select statements because of performance problems that are associated with many nested subqueries. SQL Server7 also has a nested subquery limitation of 32 (which limits how large my search filter can be- I would like to make a filter using around 100 different values).
Is it possible to do what I want in practical way, or did I come to a "dead-end" in my database design? What should I do?
I tried to create a view on following 4 tables with two different syntaxes. One with ANSI syntax and other with conventional(using WHERE clause). Both SELECT work fine and return same result sets. Views are created in both cases. SELECT from Conventional_View works fine But SELECT from the ANSI_View returns error message without Error Number as :
I am new to Reporting Services. I built a tabular report using report build wizard, comprise 10 columns, including a year column from year1 to year10.
Now my client requests 3 of the columns need to display different value accordingly:
From year 1- 5, display the field value from data source, From year 6 onward, display zero value, which there is value exist in data source.
The subtotal calculated column 10 applies different formula as well:
From year 1-5, sum (column 3, 4, 6) From year 6 onward column 10 less sum (column 3, 4) Could anyone help to shed some light for how to overcome this challenge? Many thanks in advance,
I need to search the field containing the word I enter, but this word is bracketed by "{{" and "}}". For example, I would like to search the keyword apple, I need to search by the following sql statement.
select name from table where name likes '%{{apple}}%'
But the case is that that column may contain some space between the bracket and the keyword. i.e. {{ apple }}. How can I write a sql statement to search name from the keyword?
Here is the table A: Week Year Name 1 2007 x 2 2007 b 3 2007 d 4 2007 d 5 2007 d 6 2007 d 7 2007 d 1 2008 h
This table goes all the way to week 52. I have only 2007 and 2008. so when the user pass start week :1 end week:4 start year 2007 end year 2007 The report will come out something like this
Week Year Name 1 07 2 07 3 07 4 07
Here is the select statement for that Select week,year,name from dbo.A Where Week between @startWeek and @endWeek in this case 1 and 4
The real challenge is if the user enters the following input start week :49 end week:1 start year 2007 end year 2008 in the case the report should look something like this
Week Year Name 49 07 50 07 51 07 52 07 1 08
How can I accomplish such thing in my select statement? I did create a function to handle such scenario but it did not work out. Any thoughts! Thanks
Assume that there are no overlapping enrollments. We are able to enforce this at the time the records are inserted (e.g., through the front-end application).
Members can have multiple enrollments. These enrollments can be adjacent (e.g, member 222-22-2222 has one enrollment which terminates on 06/30/2000 and another that begins on 07/01/2000) or there can be gaps (e.g., member 111-11-1111 has one enrollment which terminates on 04/30/2000, the subsequent enrollment begins 06/01/2000).
Our task is to write a SELECT statement that will coalesce all adjacent enrollments where the policy is the same. E.g., member 333-33-3333 has two records in the source table, these records would be combined into a single enrollment with start date = 01/01/2000 and end date = 12/31/2001.
SELECT e.ssn, e.policy, MIN(e.startdate) AS startdate, MAX(e.enddate) AS enddate FROM enrollment e GROUP BY e.ssn, e.policy WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM enrollment e2 WHERE e.ssn = e2.ssn AND e.policy = e2.policy AND e.startdate = DATEADD(y,1,e2.enddate)) OR EXISTS (SELECT * FROM enrollment e3 WHERE e.ssn = e3.ssn AND e.policy = e3.policy AND e.enddate = DATEADD(y,-1,e3.startdate))
UNION
SELECT e4.ssn, e4.policy, e4.startdate AS startdate, e4.enddate FROM enrollment e4 WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM enrollment e5 WHERE e4.ssn = e5.ssn AND e4.policy = e5.policy AND e4.startdate = DATEADD(y,1,e5.enddate)) AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM enrollment e6 WHERE e4.ssn = e6.ssn AND e4.policy = e6.policy AND e4.enddate = DATEADD(y,-1,e6.startdate))
This works for member 333-33-3333 who has only one set of adjacent enrollments.
However it fails for member 444-44-4444 who has two sets of adjacent enrollments. Can anyone suggest an approach that would return two rows for 444-44-4444, one with start date 01/01/2000 and end date 11/30/2000 and another with start date 03/01/2001 and end date 12/31/2001?
I have data coming in from our OLTP's view which has the following sales related information:
1) Date of Sale 2) Product Sold 3) Customer to which the Product was sold 4) QTy. sold 5) Total Sale Amount
I am bringing in this information into my "staging area" and from there I am building my Customer, Product, and Time Dimension and obviously my FACT table. The measures in my fact table were TotalSalesand Total QtySold and everything was working fine and I was able to analyze, slice, dice my cube in many ways...
Now the problem:
I also have planning related data available from another OLTP based view which contains the following information:
1) Plan Year 2) Plan Month (using Plan Year and Plan month,I "derived" a date which for any month was the 1st of that month) 3) Planned Product 4) Planned Sale (Amount) 5) Planned Qty (for sale)
You would have noticed that planning is NOT done at "Customer Level" and the planning data is only for product and time level (and that too only upto month level).
After populating my FAct table from the Sales data, I appended the planning related data into my fact table hoping that as long as I do not select any thing in the Customer dimesion and only go as low as the month level on my Time dimension, I will be able to see all of the following (measures) for any/all products:
Planned Sale, Actual Sale, Planned Qty., Actual Qty,
However I am unable to get anything displayed in the Planned Sale and Planned Qty despite applying all of the little knowledge that Ihave so far in the world of BI and making data marts ....
I really hope that my questions and requirement is clear.Can someone please help me get to

Hi, I have a table with three group headers. I want the header row in the third section to be toggled by a textbox in the second header. This works as expected. However, there are times when there is no data in the third section. When this happens, the third section header row shows even though there is no data. I can also create an expression for the third section header's hidden property that looks for the existence of data, but then the toggle is deactivated. I need some way to say, "here's the toggle item. Show the header if there is data for it."

Hello, This is my first project at the company I recently joined. It is the most challenging project I ever had.
It is a kind of web-scheduler. it let you save appointments which could be one time or periodic. For example, it could be like every monday, every other monday, first tuesday every monday, and so on.
once they are saved, it should be able to display only those appointments the user have on a specific day.
I'd like to know how database has to be designed to meet such a challenging requirement? I'd like to hear anything from you if you have had similar project before.
I have to implement a complex algorithm that processes each row and each column.I have bunch complex steps at the end of which a table gets populated with the processed columns.
My question is as to what is the best way to do this?CLR integration or T-SQL? Also I would appreciate any ideas as to how to go about using either approaches.
One of the steps of processing involved per column is as follows:- 1)For each column,find successive invalid values from the start of the column.Invalid value= any value <0 2)find the invalid value depth of each column(no of successive invalid values from start) 3)If after these invalid vlaues,there is a valid value and another invalid value,replace current invalid value with valid value. ie replace invalid value only if it has a valid value above it. 4)find the column with maximum invalue value depth and delete that many rows from the table.
Here's am example:- Suppose there are 2 columsn colA and ColB.The columns have different datatypes eg decimal,int,string etc. For simplicity colA and colB are ints. RowID is keeping track of the row number.
Step1)successive invalid values from start=0,-5,-3 Step2)Invalid value depth=3(because there are 3 rows from step 1) Step3)0,-5,-3 do not have any valid value above them.But -9 has a valid value 4 above it.So replace -9 with 4.
so colA after the algo will look as follows RowID ColA ------------ 1 0 2 -5 3 -3 4 1 5 4 6 4(replaced -9 with 4) 7 5 8 8
Now do the next column colB RowID ColA ------------ 1 -6 2 0 3 0 4 -7 5 4 6 8 7 -5 8 -8
Step1)successive invalid values from start=-6,0,0,-7 Step2)depth of invalid values=4 Step3)Next invalid value -5 occurs at RowID 7 and has a valid value 8 above it. Replace -5 with previous valid vlaue ie 8.
RowID 8 has invalid value -8 .Its previous invalid value(-5) got replaced by a valid value 8.So replace RowID8 also with value of RowID 7 ie 8
Output at the end of these steps RowID ColA ------------ 1 -6 2 0 3 0 4 -7 5 4 6 8 7 8(replaced -5 with 8) 8 8(replaced -8 with 8)
Step4:Get the maximum invalid value depth In this case ColB had depth=4 which is greater than ColA which had dept=3.so delete 4 rows from the beginning of the table So the table will be
RowID colA colB ---------------------------------------- 5 4 4 6 4(replaced -9 with 4) 8 7 5 8 (replaced -5 with 8) 8 8 8(replaced -8 with 8)
Hello, I'm really stuck at trying to figure out how to write out the proper SQL statement for my problem. I'm relatively new to SQL, so this may not be so tough for some of you. Basically, a user logs in (I'm using the default membership provider) and goes to his INBOX to see his list of messages sent to him. The list is presented to him via a datalist. Each item of the datalist contains a table of 2 columns and 1 row as pictured below. The first box contains the user photo and user name of the person who SENT him the message (not the logged in user). The second box contains the subject title of the message. FROM | SUBJECT | User Photo | || | Subject || User Name | | Here is the list of the relevant 4 tables of my database and the relevant fields..... aspnet_Users tableUserId (used to link to Member table)UserName Member tablememberId (int - primary key)UserId (guid - used to link to aspnet_Users table)primaryPhotoId (int - used to link to Photo table) Photo tablephotoId (int - primary key)photoUrl (string - path to file on local drive) Message tablemessageId (int - primary key)fromMember (int - connects with memberId from Member table)toMember (int - connects with memberId from Member table)subject (varchar(max)) So basically, from a simplistic high level point of view, the datalist is going to list all of the messages where Message.toMember = the logged in user. The senders will be determined by the Member.fromMember fields. Intuitive enough so far, I guess. This is the SQL statement I have so far..... SELECT aspnet_Users.UserName, Message.subjectFROM aspnet_Users, Member, MessageWHERE aspnet_Users.UserName = Profile.UserName AND aspnet_Users.UserId = Member.UserId AND Member.memberId = Message.toMember Note that I'm grabbing the logged in user info from Profile.UserName. So far, this SQL statement should make the datalist crank out all messages that were sent to the logged in user. HOWEVER, how would I modify this so that the datalist generates the username of the sender, NOT the receiver (aka person who logged in)? Do you see the core of my dilemna here? I'm trying to get a resultset based on the Message.toMember (the logged in user), but also want data on the sender (the Message.fromMember so I can use the username and the photo of the SENDER, not the person logged in aka the RECEIVER). Currently, the aspnet_Users in the SELECT statement gets the username of the logged in person, not the sender. And once we solve the issue of retrieving the sender's username, I also have to get his MAIN photo (I say "main" since a user can have multiple photos and the main one is determined by the value in a given member's primaryPhotoId field of the Member table) ?? I'm a newbie to ASP.NET and to databases in general so this may not be as tough for most of you and perhaps you're laughing at the simplicity hehe. The SQL statement so far asks to retrieve information based on the logged in user. But how do I also tell it to now go grab the Message.fromMember data, go back to the Member table to A)get the username after going back to the aspnet_Users table and B) to get the Member.primaryPhotoId, and then finally to the Photo table where the Photo.photoUrl string value is obtained..... and still hang on to the results I have up until now? And since I'm using the provided datalist control, I think I need to get all the results I need with just one SQL statement. This is indeed very very complicated for me lol. This problem has been giving me migraines this whole weekend. Has anyone been through such a problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance.

I need to find a way to let them know through the database that an employee has been renewed. anyone got any ideas??
Hi all I am fishing for ideas on the following scenario and hope someone can point me in the best direction.
I create a new table and insert data from relevant other tables but i want to set the data in the new table colums to set widths that have leading zeros where applicable. I.E the new table column is varchar (10) the data going in to the column is coming from another table where the size was varchar (8) but the data was only 2 characters in size so i want to pad it out to the full new varchar (10) with leading zeros if that makes sence.
I am really just trying to get some ideas on the best possible way to do this thanks.
I have a table with 18,000 records with beg_eff_date since the year 2005. I need to separate the entries based on their daily activity. For example if Beg_eff_date 01/0/2005 then day is "1" if Beg_eff_date is 01/27/2005 then the day is "27". Repeating the same process until I reach "NOW" present time. Any ideas of how can I do this?
Thank You for all your previous help and the current one!!
I created a Temp Table that hold a collection of records by date.
I need to do create calculation that give me the Total fuel used per day:
c.rcpt_nom_vol -c.rcpt_fuel- c.rcpt_act_vol = Total Fuel used per day. Then pull the result of this calculation and assign the result to the specific day of the month. For example is the Calculation Result is 4.25 on Feb 12, 2007. Then the record is insert into a Temp Table as 4.25 day #12.
Does anyone has an idea of how to do this? Thanks and Let me know!!!!

We've got currenlty around 500 dts 2000 in production.
In order to know in what ETL processes we have Oracle connections, or FTP tasks or whatever, we did a VB6 app using dtspkg.dll which load all the properties for each DTS into Sql server tables. So that, then you could see from a specific DTS how many connections, Sql Tasks it had and so on..
How to accomplish the same with SSIS? I know, doing the same but using .Net, of course, but is there any else approximation? I am little bit concerned when we will have hundreds of them up.
Maybe 2005 is offering this feature automatically, I don't know.
Am working on an SSIS project and I am not sure how to handle this situation. I have four tables in two completely separate networks {AB} {CD} and I want to populate one of the tables D based on the information from tables A and C with the following scenario I get data from from table A make a lookup transformation to check what did has changed if the data has changed or if there is a new entry in table A get the identity key from table C {they both share a common field} and add the identity key as part of my data inserted in table D
A ----lookup <
data that has changed --- get the identity key from C ---- insert data from table A + identity key into D
