Hi ,
Could anybody point me to an NT/DOS script ( e.g a batch file ) that could check if the MSSQL Server and SQL Server Agent Services are running ?
I am trying to write the following script to check for the status. Each of the following commands gives a 1 as output if the service is running and 0 if it is not. The problem I am facing is that I am not able to check the output after the command is executed. I am neither able to assign it to a variable or include the whole command in an IF statement.
net start | find /c /i "MSSQLServer"
net start | find /c /i "SQLServerAgent"
Is there any other way to do this programmatically ? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Does anyone know how to check when a distribution job has finished distributing a snapshot programatically?
I am writing an app that adds subscribers programatically. It first add the subscription (which creates a new snapshot) and after the snapshot is done, the distributor gets invoked automatically. Because I need to access the subscriber database after the publication is pushed I need to wait until the distributor has finished its work.
My vb .net app creates programatically a package. I mean, you can provide name, description, number of OLEDB/ADO connections, variables and so on, where it's stored, from a WinForm.
Up to the moment, process only creates boxes separately wihtout links.
My concern is after this successful cycle I only can open that DTSX and see its components but executing button is disabled (only possible with DTEXECUI.exe) from BIDS.
Only when I create a project (DTSPROJ) and then I put that same .DTSX inside I am be able to execute it.
Well, up to here all of this is very good. Things were created this way for some reason.
My question now is how do I from my application in order to create dtsproj and dtsproj.user (I don't know how many files are needed) and be able to create a package and its "father project". My idea is that the user can choose if create a standalone DTSX or a full project.
I have an application which is using SQL Reporting Services 2005. I have all my RDL files under a root folder named "X". Now I need to give users/groups permission to browse the reports under this folder. I need to do it programatically using the web services class ReportService2005 (I thought this would be the right class to do this task). Can anyone please throw some light on this.
How to design ta SSIS package which loops through DESTINATION folder files and checks whether that file is there in the SOURCE or not.
If the file exists then I have to check the modified date on DESTINATION file if it is greater than 1 day delete that file. If the modified date is less than that SOURCE file then I have to copy that
file to DESTINATION<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p>
If there are files which exists in SOURCE and not in DESTINATION, then how shall we copy all the files to the DESTINATION that are created on the day of execution of package.<o:p></o:p>

Can anyone please direct me to an easy to understand Description, Article or Video tutorial that shows an example on how to programatically connect to an SQL database and retrieve data from a collumn using C# and VISUAL WEB DEVELOPER 2005 EXPRESS EDITION. Also, what namespace should be imported to do this? (From what I have gathered out of the help, it seem that System.Web.UI.WebControls is the one) I am trying to create a "news letter" web page. I have a basic form and when I hit "send" then the code in the background should access the database with all the recipient info, and retrieve all the E-mail addresses, Names, etc. and include it in each e-mail. ( I don't know if it is just me, but the help included with VISUAL WEB DEVELOPER 2005 EXPRESS EDITION is extremely difficult to understand - from a beginner point of view). Thanks! Regards Jan
Hi, I've written a SELECT statement that returns columns dependant on a bitwise parameter @Populate.SELECTCASE WHEN (1 & @Populate) = 1 THEN [Column1] ELSE Null END AS [Column1],CASE WHEN (2 & @Populate) = 2 THEN [Column2] ELSE Null END AS [Column2],CASE WHEN (4 & @Populate) = 4 THEN [Column3] ELSE Null END AS [Column3],CASE WHEN (8 & @Populate) = 8 THEN [Column4] ELSE Null END AS [Column4],etcIs this the most efficient way to acheive this since I am only seeing a small performance gain. It still returns all columns but depending on @Populate will leave some columns with Null values.Any help much appreciated, thanks.
Hi All, I am having problems getting values out of an sqldatasource. I have 2 on the page, i am using one to insert into a table and the other to get a couple of values from another table for the insert. the datasource i am trying to get the values from does a select with a querystring filter i need to grab a couple of fields out of it trhen do the insert on the other datasiource with a button click. The insert is fine, i just don't know how to get the values out of the first 'select source' Any pointers or suggestions most appreciated. Cheers
In VS2003 I have a user defaults table that I would call in the OnLoad - No Postback section to get the user defaults and then used some of the fields from that recordset as Parameters for other recordsets that would also load in that same section and might even issue a different Sql statement based on the field. In VS2005 (VB.NET), I can no longer figure out how to accomplish this. I can use the SQLDatasource Control which seems much improved but I cannot even find the generated code which I would use as a quick way to create my own datasources in the OnLoad event. Where is this code now stored and how can I accomplish my objectives in VB.NET 2005 with the current framework or programatically create data sources as necessary as I did before?
hi i am trying to gernerate some tables ( first with a script and then with a stored procedure),, in ms server management studio exrress 2005 using the followingcreate table ip( id int IDENTITY NOT NULL, ip varchar(15) NOT NULL, hostname varchar(128) NOT NULL, primary key(id)) ; i store this in a new query (assume :right click associates the query to the current database ?) and run it and nothing happens its been a while since i did sql but i think the sql is ok....how or more specifically where is the appropriate place to run this code thankssimo stored as a new query
I have a list box populated by a SqlDataSource with a basic statement of Select name where location = @location. Location is bound to a dropdownlist control. I want to have a checkbox for the Location dropdownlist and a checkbox for another dropdownlist (for the alphabet) that will select only those people with a last name of the letter selected. Changing the checkbox would change the sql statement. OK so there are two questions here: 1. How can I write a sql statement that would select only people whos last name begins with a certain letter. Would it use some sort of convert function to a string with only 1 letter? 2. How can I programatically change the sqlDataSource's 'select' statement. I need to switch between sorting by location and sorting by alphabetical last name. All of my previous experience has had me configuring the datasource in the asp.net code.
Hi SQ Gurus, Please help me with this issue that I am facing. I want to create a table programatically but want to pass its name as a variable. I would like to do something as follows: CREATE PROCEDURE BS_Create (@Name nvarchar(25)) AS CREATE TABLE [dbo].[@Name]( [ID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [Prod_Name] [nvarchar] (75) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO The table name is passed in as a parameter. No matter what I pass as a parameter, the table name is '@Name', which is not what I want. Instead, if the variable contains the value 'Product', I would like to see a table with the name 'Product' to be created.
OK, so I'm working on a project that requires the dynamic generation of SQL statements. Now in Visual Studio .NET I'm sure many of you have used that wonderful visual database tool that allows you to magically "verify sql syntax" at the click of a button. It takes a query that looks like this:
"SELECT A.AFFID, A.UserName, A.Pass, A.FirstName, A.LastName, A.Company, A.Street, A.City, A.State, A.ZIP, A.Country, A.phone, P.EMail, A.RecieveEMail, A.SSN, A.JoinDate, A.AffType, P.ProductId, P.BuyerId FROM Affiliates A, Purchases P WHERE (ProductId > 0) ORDER BY 1"
and transforms it into something that looks like this:
"SELECT A.AFFID, A.UserName, A.Pass, A.FirstName, A.LastName, A.Company, A.Street, A.City, A.State, A.ZIP, A.Country, A.phone, P.Email, A.RecieveEMail, A.SSN, A.JoinDate, A.AffType, P.ProductID, P.BuyerID FROM Affiliates A CROSS JOIN Purchases P WHERE (P.ProductID > 0) ORDER BY A.AFFID"
My question is: is there anything in the .NET platform that would allow me to achieve the same kind of result programatically (i.e. transform standard sql to tsql syntax and verify the syntax of the query at run time)?
I need some help with the following issue. I need vb.net code that will create a T-SQL script.

I am trying to figure out a way to restore a database programatically. Here is how I do it now. Right click on the database, select Restore. Browse out to my computer and find the .BAK file. Select the database and go into 'Restore Options' I have to physically change the .MDF and .LOG paths since I am getting this backup is not coming from my computer. I select 'Overwrite the existing database' then click restore.
My problem is that I have to change the paths to the MDF and LOG files. How could I automate this? Thank you!!

Lets say you have to retrieve some SQL.Then you have to go through those records and delete some items, change some values, and even add columns and rows...based on logic that depends on the data you got.Thanks.
This is my first attempt to create a Vb.net class as well as my first attempt to programmatically view SQL retrieved data as opposed to using the built-in data controls...so be gentle.My question is looking at the code below which I have already put together...how do I actually see what the data is in a particular column... One of my columns for example is the "Title" which contains the Page Title for Search Engine Optomization. I need to be able to read this value so I can assign it to the Page.'First Do a Database ConnectionIf Not Page.IsPostBack Then'Start by determining the connection string valueDim connString As String = _ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("CMConnectionString").ConnectionString'Create a SqlConnection instanceUsing myConnection As New SqlConnection(connString)'Specify the SQL queryConst sql As String = "SELECT * FROM SEO where ParentType='Department' AND ParentLevel='0' "'Create a SqlCommand instanceDim myCommand As New SqlCommand(sql, myConnection)'Get back a DataSetDim myDataSet As New DataSet'Create a SqlDataAdapter instanceDim myAdapter As New SqlDataAdapter(myCommand)myAdapter.Fill(myDataSet, "SEO")'Create a DataViewDim myDataView As New DataViewmyDataView.Table = myDataSet.Tables("SEO")'Ok...this is where I'm lost. Now how do I look up the value for the column "Title" in this Dataset'Close the connectionmyConnection.Close()'End database connectionsEnd Using
Can anyone point me in the direction of code that will allow me to acce3ss the data held in an SQLDataSource.

If I want to create an SQL data table on the server, I go to Server Explorer and make a small table with the corerct columns. Then I add rows programatically as needed from the Application I'm working with.
It would suit me, for a current job, to be able to create the table itself programatically.
I don't know how to do this. Can it be done ? If so, could someone give me a starter, please ? Four cols with a key in the first.
I am crateing the database on the fly using db directory in VC++. I am able to create database. I am also able to create login. These can be easily done by logging as master using the username and password sa and "" resp. Now I want to add a user to the database that i created. but it is being added to the master database. I know that I have to change my login from sa ,"" to the username and password that i gave during login. but i dont know how to change the login. Please help. If you have any code for that then that will be of great help. Hoping to get a positive response as soon as possible.. Thanx Nitin Gulati
I've read the MSDN documentation about creating calculated members and states that we can only create session scope or query scope members.
I need to create a static calculated member, one that stays there until it's deletion... That is possibel using Analysis Services, but what about with MDX or DSO?
