Hello folks,
The other day I was checking the dboption and I couldnt see the "Truncate log on Check Point" option in the dboption window. Wondering if i'm looking at the right place.
Appreciated, If any one point me where can I look for this.
Thanks,

hi all,
if i want to join two tables and populate data into an oldb destination which option will be better
from performance point of view?
1. using look up transformation
2.writing join query in oldb source using sql commmand option.
Dear Experts,
please guide me, how can i run checkpoint manually?
and how can i make it done automatically? what is sql server default?
is it a problem (making the checkpoint to run more times)?
Vinod
I have Simple package with DFT Â with Source and Destination ,check point is enabled to the package
I Have 100000 rows from source , while  5000 rows  transferring and committed in destination i lost the connection and leading to failure of the packageÂ
what will happen after second time running the package .
I know that INSTEAD OF triggers are not allowed on updatable views that use WITH CHECK OPTION, but this is different. WITH CHECK OPTION has no effect on a view used to update a table with INSTEAD OF triggers. Can you create an updatable view that uses WITH CHECK OPTION on a table that has INSTEAD OF triggers?
The following code demonstrates the problem. Comment out the create trigger statement to see the behavior change.
create table test (test int not null)
GO
create view test_view as select * from test where test < 0 with check option
GO
/**/create trigger test_insert on test instead of insert as insert into test select * from inserted
GO
insert into test values (1)
GO
insert into test_view values (2)
GO
select * from test
select * from test_view
GO
drop view test_view
GO
drop table test
GO
I was testing how the WITH CHECK OPTION works. I though that it prevents row from dissappearing from the view implementing this option but I found that I was able to DELETE all rows through the view - Why is this???
Please note that I only have the base version of sql server 2000 - No patches applied
Thanks for your help
------------------------------------------- Test
Create table T100 (A int)
GO
Create view VT100 AS (SELECT * FROM T100 WHERE A < 2) with check option
GO
INSERT INTO T100 VALUES (1) -- Part of the view's result
INSERT INTO T100 VALUES (2)
GO
SELECT * FROM VT100 -- SHOWS 1
GO
INSERT INTO VT100 VALUES (-2) -- Works
GO
UPDATE VT100 SET A=5 -- Update fails because of WITH CHECK OPTION - GOOD
GO
INSERT INTO VT100 VALUES (999) -- Inser fails because of WITH CHECK OPTION - GOOD
GO
DELETE FROM VT100 -- DELETES ALL ROWS!!!! ******************* ???

How can I check if "(Select All)" option was selected in multi-value parameter?
Thanks in advance!
I have created a package that use SSIS check pointing for failure-retry mechanism. I knew that when this package fails, on restarting the package it starts from the task where it got failed.
Is it possible for me to override this on a custom condition and start the package at an earlier task where it executed successfully?
Ex:
Check pointing is enabled.
FTP task è Write to Staging Table è Write to Target table.
Assuming I am downloading XML file through FTP and writing to a table.
FTP Download is successful.
Read from XML file and write to Staging table task failed because of downloaded file is not a well formed XML.
Here, FTP task is completed successfully; it failed only in the second task. When I re-run the package; it starts from the second [Read from XML file and write to staging table] task because of check pointing.
Is it possible for me to restart from the FTP task on a custom condition where it executed successfully?
I have huge data and i am loading data from EXCEL to database table, after loading 80 percent data i am getting some error. My package got failed and it has lots of transformation and took around 6 hours to process completely because of that i don't want it to reload from start. if i run it again it should start from next record from where i got the error.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello all,
First off, I appreciate the time that those of you reading and responding to this request are offering. My quesiton is a theoretical and hopefully simple one, and yet I have been unable to find an answer to it on other searches or sources.
Here's the situation. I am working with SQL Server 2005 on a Windows Server 2003 machine. I have a series of databases, all of which are in Full recovery mode, using a backup device for the full database backups and a separate device for the log backups. The full backups are run every four days during non-business hours. The log backups are run every half hour.
Last week, one of my coworkers found that some rarely-used data was unavailable, and wanted to restore a database to a point in time where the data was available. He told me that point in time was some time back in November.
To accomplish this, I restored the database (in a separate database, as to not overwrite my production database) using the Point in Time Recovery option. I selected November from the "To a point in time" window (I should note that this window is always grey, never white like most active windows, it seems), and the full database backup and the subsequent logs all became available in the "Select the backup sets to restore" window.
I then tried a bevy of different options from the "Options" screen. However, every restore succeeds (ie: it doesn't error out), but seems to be bringing the database back to a current point in time. It's never actually going back to the point in time I specify.
My questions are as follows:
a) Is it possible to do a point in time recovery to a point in time BEFORE the last full database backup?
b) If so, what options would you recommend I use? (ie: "Overwrite the existing database", restore with recovery, etc etc).
I again appreciate any and all advice I receive, and I look forward to hearing from anyone and everyone on this topic. Thank you.

Hi everyone In my SqlServer Management Studio Express, on start up it shows the server type option, but greyed.So that value is fixed to database engine. ( I'm trying to work on an SqlServer Compact Edition database through the SSMStudiothat's why I'm trying to get this to change.)Besides, after I connect i go to the Object Explorer, expand the server node, and go to Replication.When i expand replication, i get the "Local Subscription" option, but nothng for Publication.( I want to work on Merge Replication, that's why I desparately need Publication to work)Am i missing something here? I did not install SqlServer separately, I only have what comes bundled with the Visual Studio 2005 Setup.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I started a new job recently and have noticed a few strange configurations. Typically I would never mess with min memory per query option and index create memory option configuration because i just haven't seen any need to. My typical thought is that if it isn't broke... They have been modified on every single server in my environment.
From Books Online:
• This option is an advanced option and should be changed only by an experienced database administrator or certified SQL Server technician.
• The index create memory option is self-configuring and usually works without requiring adjustment. However, if you experience difficulties creating indexes, consider increasing the value of this option from its run value.
I'm running SQL Server 2005 on a Server 2003 machine serving both our home network as well as a remote site through a point-to-point T1. While file transfer speeds are up to par, the remote site's interaction with SQL Server (Point of sale system) is very slow. After testing I am certain that it has nothing to do with the actual physical machine in place neither is it an issue with the program itself since speeds are as they are supposed to be over the home network lan. It seems that there might be a packet size issue or something of the sort. Has anyone dealt with this before or have any thoughts?
Thanks,

Hello, thanks for reading this.
I am trying to learn a bit about debveloping my own website, and I am in need of a basic direction on how to acomplish this task:
I have an local program running on my PC that creates an MS Access database export of my inventory. This export can be directly uploaded to my web server in a zip format.
My web site is developed in Coldfusion MX7, and uses a MS SQL 2005 database. What I would like to do is create somewhat of an "Auto update" for my website, exporting my access database and updating the MS SQL database automatically.
I really can use some good direction on this problem.
Thank you for any help in advance.

I need to write a floating point value to a column in a SQL server database. I have the following line ofcode, that formats the float value before passing it off to the stored procedure.
Please look at the line of code below. Does the 8 after SqlDbType.Foat mean that this will be a floatingpoint with 8 signigicant digits past the decimal point?
mySqlCommand.Parameters.Add("@Price", SqlDbType.Float, 8).Value = float.Parse(InitialPrice);

Hello all,
I can't see any reason for this error, not having a high level understanding of maths I thought I'd post it and hope someone could share some light on it.
I yesterday got called by a client who said that a payment for £15 + VAT was being passed to their payment gateway as 17.62 when it should be 17.63. The VAT calculation is performed in a SQL Server 2000 stored procedure. In the end I tracked it down and it wasn't a propblem with my calculation.
The price was coming out as 17.63 fine. The stored procedure then had to return this price in pence (17.63 * 100 = 17.63). When I put in a print statement with this calculation it was correct but when I output the variable that the result was assigned to it was coming out as 1762.
The variable that the result was being put into was of real datatype.
I then wrote a udf to test this. Here is the function:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.POUNDS_TO_PENCE
(
@POUNDVALUE real
)
RETURNS INTEGER
AS
BEGIN
RETURN @POUNDVALUE * 100
END
As you can see nothing very special.
If you run this runction and pass in 17.63 it will return 1762!!!
The bit I don't get is if I change the @POUNDSVALUE intput variable to type float it returns the correct amount.
I've also found that the same problem occurs when passing in £30 + VAT (35.25) + 1pence. So, 35.26 comes out as 3525 instead of 3526. This is the case if you keep doubling the number (and adding a few pence here and there).
Does anyone know why this is or is it a bug in the processor?
The SQL books online say the following about the float and real data types:
--------------------------------------------------------
float and real (T-SQL)
Approximate number data types for use with floating point numeric data. Floating point data is approximate; not all values in the data type range can be precisely represented.
Syntax
float[(n)]
Is a floating point number data from - 1.79E + 308 through 1.79E + 308. n is the number of bits used to store the mantissa of the float number in scientific notation and thus dictates the precision and storage size. n must be a value from 1 through 53.
n is Precision Storage size
1-24 7 digits 4 bytes
25-53 15 digits 8 bytes
The Microsoft® SQL Server™ float[(n)] data type conforms to the SQL-92 standard for all values of n from 1 to 53. The synonym for double precision is float(53).
real
Floating point number data from –3.40E + 38 through 3.40E + 38. Storage size is 4 bytes. In SQL Server, the synonym for real is float(24).
--------------------------------------------------------
Apart from the fact that it says 'Approximate number data types' I can't see any difference between the data type apart from the ranges.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks

I can't "point in time restore" a test DB if I had only a Full DB Backup (with overwrite option).
Example
12:00 Fullbackup new (overwrite)
12:01 update any rows
12:02 update any rows
12:03 delete any rows
12:05 Transaction Log backup (overwrite)
RESTORE: We can't set "point in Time" to 12:01 od 12:02 ???
why
Hi
1. could any one explain point in time recovery.
2. Problem we had was the database froze 'inload' while doing transaction restore. Is there any way to recover this

Hi, I am pretty new to Analysis Services and I have come across a small problem to do with point in time balances, I guess that this is similar shiver72's post titled 'Date Range Problem'. I am not really after a solution as such (although that would be great :-), more interested in a pointer to some resource(s) which I can read up on myself.
Here is the scenario:
A student enrols into a course that has a start and finish date. This enrolment has a certain value based upon its length, the course type etc which means that each
enrolment's 'value' can vary at any time between the start and finish dates.
For example a student may enrol in a full year basket weaving course with a value of 0.0500, they then enrol in a part year course titled 'Dimensional Modelling 101' with a value of 1.000
...and their enrolments would look like this...
01-JAN-2005 31-DEC-2005 0.0500
02-JAN-2005 15-JUN-2005 1.0000
The client wishes to know at any point in time the 'value' of their enrolments. These values can vary due to a student starting or finishing their enrolment, withdrawing, having their
enrolment suspended etc, etc
Now, in the Data Warehouse Toolkit it mentions point in time balances in the 'Financial Services' section but it uses SQL to prove the point which is no use to me because I am using MS Analysis Services to dynamically create the result.
As it says in the book its no use creating a row in the fact table to represent the value for each day that the enrolment is in effect because with 400,000 enrolments that works out to over 140 million rows. The alternative is to create one row for each occurence of the variation in the value of the enrolment and then the facts would be completely additive and useful.
I would be looking at using something similar to the following:
fact table
----------
fkdate
value
fksudent
fkcourse
<possibly some degenerate measure like the UID of the course enrolment held in the source system>
dimensions
----------
Student - and of course a whole heap of related dimensions like gender, age, ethnicity etc
Course
For example given the above information the fact table would look like this:
(Student UID is 2005123, course UIDs are 1000 and 1001)
20050101 0.0500 2005123 1000
20050102 1.0000 2005123 1001
20050615 -1.0000 2005123 1001
20051231 -0.0500 2005123 1000
That way I can run a query at, say 15-JUN-2005 and sum the values and it will come out with the correct balance - and yes I know that this idea is straight out of the book :-)
OK, if you've read to this point then I take it that you are an extremely patient person and therefore will forgive my next question.
My question is this, my clients use simple tools like Excel pivot tables to gouge the information they want out of the warehouse, sure, I can write an MDX query to get a point in time balance (just as soon as I learn a bit more about it) but is there _any_ way/means/algorithm/trick/way to hold your head to one side, that I can use so that they can still just 'drag and drop' using the pivot table service as opposed to having to me having to create an MDX-based report for them ?
cheers
Hi Guys,
I wanted to know how to do a point in time recovery on sql server 2000.
I wanted to go back in time when I restore the file.
Can u also suggest any good book about it. Does BOL explains about it, I couldn't find it in BOL.
Thanks in advance.

The following SQL statement returns the correct totals except that
the total value is shifted on decimal place to the right. i.e. a real
total of 955.68 is displayed as 9,556.80. The total_ar field is a money type.
Any help would be appreciated.
Mark
/* AR report Total Greater than 365 days sorted by Dept */
select
a.dept as `Department `,
` A/R 365+ `=sum(case when datediff(day,c.bill_date, getdate()) > 365 then b.total_ar else 0 end)
from
hbm_persnl a, blt_billm b, blt_bill c,hbl_dept d,hbm_matter e
where
e.matter_uno = b.matter_uno and
a.empl_uno = e.bill_empl_uno and
b.bill_tran_uno = c.tran_uno and
b.ar_status = `O` and
e.status_code=`OPEN`
group by a.dept
I want to force two places to the right of the decimal even if its a whole number.
vbScript
calculatedScore = FormatNumber((rsQFinal("sumEarned") / rsQFinal("sumPossible")) * 100, 2)
I'm not savy enought to know the SQL equivalent of the above but I'd like SQL Server to perform the above rather than my vbScript code.
heres what I have so far but I don't know the formatNumber equivalent:
CREATE PROCEDURE quarterFinalGradeSA @nClass INT, @nQuarter INT, @nStudent INT AS
SELECT (SUM(tblScores.score) / SUM(tblAssignments.assignmentTotalPoints)) AS returnValue
...
We have been testing point of time recovery using EM and found that this does not work.
We enter date and time and do net get the logs restored. Even if we use the default date it does not work. In Query Analyser we have have managed to recover to a point in time. Anybody got any idea why EM does not work.
We are using 2000 sp3

Dear All,
How do we accomplish point in time recovery with SQL Server database.
For example:
My backup schedule is
Monday - Complete database
Tuesday - transaction log backup
Wednesday-transaction log backup
Thursday - transaction log backup
Friday - Complete database
Saturday - transaction log backup
Sunday - transaction log backup
For complete database backup, I use the below syntax:
BACKUP DATABASE myDB
TO DISK= @File1
WITH DESCRIPTION = @Desc
For transaction log backup, I use the below syntax:
BACKUP LOG myDB
TO DISK= @File1
WITH DESCRIPTION = @Desc
With this scenario, can I accomplish a point in time recovery? For example, if my database crashes on thursday night. How do i do complete recovery till that time?
Pls guide...

Hey guys and gals,
I'm having a real problem with this query at the moment...
Basically I have to produce a query which will tell me the total number of people employed by the company at any given date and the total salary for all these people.
We have a people table and a career table.
People(unique_identifier, known_as_and_surname, start_date, termination_date ...)
Career(unique_identifier, parent_identifier, career_date, basic_pay ...)
Relationship people.unique_identifier = career.parent_identifier
Employees can be identified like so
SELECT *
FROM people
WHERE start_date <= DateSelected
AND (termination_date > DateSelected
OR termination_date IS NULL)
Passing the selected date to the query is no trouble at all I am just having problems with the point in time side of this.
All and any help is greatly appreciated :)
