Collect Diverse Data Whilst Database Being Created
Jun 1, 2012
I have just started in a brand new role where I need to collect a large amount of diverse data. Part of this data is whether the steps in a guideline has been followed ( a simple check box or yes/no) (but there are maybe 100 guidelines)
My IT department have suggested we use SQL to create the database, but this will obviously take time. In the meantime my boss is keen that I get on with the data collection before the database is ready. I do not want to repeat steps when I create the SQL database so is there any format you would recommend I collect my data in now that can be easily applied to the SQL database - ie if I used Excel, would that be best, and should I then try to keep potential SQL table data separate?

I am looking at various software packages that can help deploy SQLdata to a remote DR facility. Essentially I am looking for somethingthat would allow us to bring up a cold or warm standby SQL server tobe used in the event of a site disaster. In the past I have used EMCtechnologies and found it to be a good option but kind of on theexpensive side. As of late we have started to look at a couple ofsoftware/kernel level application that offer similar functionalityHas anyone had any experience using Double Take or Evergreen with SQLserver and deploying data to a remote data facility? Are there anyother products that offer similar functionality that you canrecommend?ThanksShawn

Hi
I know this is a nasty way of doing but I can't think of another way. I'm retrieving an ID from a treeview when it's clicked client side, and I want to pass this to a SQL Procedure and retrieve some other data relating to it and fill a list box. Can this be done?
Thanks

Anyone know the syntax and function to create a self incrementing index whilst extracting data? I'm using the Derived Column tool. The extract will be a full extract everytime, not incremental.
Thanks.

Hello,
I took our SYBASE DDL and created the tables on an SQL Server Express datbase on a PC and then downloaded our data from UNIIX using the WinSCP utility and BULK Inserted the data into the SQL Server database and everything uploaded fine apparently, but when we go to use the data we are getting some data differences.
Do you know of any data conversion issues that may be coming into play here maybe?
Thanks very much!

trying to get a new database created then running a script to created the tables, relationships, indexes and insert default data. All this I'm making happen during the installation of my Windows application. I'm installing SQL 2012 Express as a prerequisite of my application and then opening a connection to that installed SQL Server using Windows Authentication.
E.g.: Data Source=ComputerNameSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=master;Integrated Security=SSPI; Then I run a query from my code to create the database eg: "CREATE DATABASE [MyDatabaseName]".
From this point I run a script using a Batch file containing "SQLCMD....... Myscriptname.sql". In my script I have my tables being created using "Use [MyDatabaseName] Go CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTableName] .....". So question is, should I have [dbo]. as part of my Create Table T-SQL commands? Can I remove "[dbo]."? Who would be the owner of the database? If I can remove the [dbo]., should I also remove dbo. from any query string from within my code?

Hi,
I needed to recreate/publish a DDL and data file(of a database) that was produced using Database Publishing Wizard. The size of the file is 4G. I receive the following error when I try to open it up in the new query window of sql server 2005 (sp2)for execution.
"The operation could not be completed. Not enough storage is available to complete this operation."
I know my server has 829G of free storage space available. i receive no errors when I open up a smaller file also created by database publishing wizard.
What possibly is causing this?
Thanks in advance

I've been getting what I think is a bizarre error message whilst trying to create a foreign key between two tables.
tblDailyComments has a primary key of DiaryID
tblDailyOperatingData has a column DiaryID.
Both are Int (4).
Yet when I run the following:
ALTER TABLE tblDailycomments
ADD CONSTRAINT FK_tbldailycomments_tblDailyOpData
FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES
tblDailyOperatingData(DiaryID)
I'm getting the error message:
Server: Msg 8139, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Number of referencing columns in foreign key differs from number of referenced columns, table 'tblDailycomments'.
I also tried to create the relationship in a database diagram and this brought back errors as well.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I am setting up SQL audit on sql servers in my environment based on requirement. I want to create database specifications ASAP database created. I tried DDL trigger but Audit doesn't support triggers. So I created audit specifications on model database. the only problem with this is every specification created on new database with same name.database specification name includes newly created database name or other methods to create database specifications on newly created databases.

Hi all (newbie @ asp.net)(oldie @ ASP 3)What is the purpose of using an attached MDF database files in the App_Data folder on a web site as to importing it into the SQL server directly or creating it on the SQL server. Does a mdf database attached file purely use the SQL server as a connection interface.Is it something similiar to DSN(ODBC) Connections for ms access databases.

There is a table with the id and categories Parentid. The challenge is this: you need to collect in each category one drain all the ID that concern it. For Example:
declare @t table (
[id] [bigint],
[Parentid] [bigint],
[Name] [nvarchar](50)
)
insert into @t
[code]....

Just a quicky about temporarary tables. If using QA, when you create atemporary table, it gets dropped if you close the query. Otherwise youneed to state 'DROP TABLE myTable' so that you can re-run the querywithout the table being there.Sometimes, you can have quite lengthy SQL statements (in a series)with various drop table sections throughout the query. Ideally youwould put these all at the end, but sometimes you will need to dropsome part way through (for ease of reading and max temp tables etc...)However, what I was wondering is :Is there any way to quickly drop the temporary tables for the currentconnection without specifying all of the tables individually ? Whentesting/checking, you have to work your way through and run each droptable section individually. This can be time consuming, so beingnaturally lazy, is there a quick way of doing this ? When workingthrough the SQL, it's possible to do this quite a lot.ExampleSQL Statement with several parts, each uses a series of temporarytables to create a result set. At the end of a section, these worktables are no longer needed, so drop table commands are used. Thefinal result set brings back the combined results from each sectionand then drops those at the end.TIARyan

I have a problem that has happened a couple of times now. I'm in the process of testing our 2005 deployment - Standard edition on 2003 x64 servers for principal and mirror and 2005 express witness. All are pre SP1. Two databases are being mirrored.
I have successfully set up mirroring which seems to work fine - but when I restart the MSSQL service on the principal, spurious things happen:
The server that *was* the principal before restart
database A is in (Mirror, Disconnected / In Recovery) state
database B is in (In Recovery)
The server that *was* the mirror:
database A is in (Principal, Disconnected)
database B is in (Principal, Disconnected)
I can connect to both servers via Studio Manager and when I try to go to the current principal database to stop mirroring, the Studio Manager hangs and becomes non-responsive.
Any ideas?
Thanks

from this, circdate being a datetime field:SQLQuery = "select distinct circdate from circdata order by circdate"I need the distinct date portion excluding the time part.this has come about when I discoveredI am inserting and updating some datetime values with the same value,but for some reason, the values are always off by a few seconds. I seta variable called SetNow assigned to NOW and then set the datetimefields to this SetNow variable. Then when I collect the distinct datetime I am assuming they will have the same values recorded incircdate, but no, they are off by several seconds. Makes no sense to meat all. I tried renaming the variable several times but it makes nodifference at all.any help appreciated, thanks.

Hi there.
I have generated an SQL Script to script me a database, stored procs, tables, foriegn keys and users, as well as Create command and drop objects.
however it seems that it is not creating the database, if an existing database does not exist, or if it does after it has been dropped. I get this error:
Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'db_name_something'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
This is the SQL:
/****** Object: Database SafeHands Script Date: 10/04/2006 02:05:30 ******/
IF EXISTS (SELECT name FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases WHERE name = N'db_name_something')
DROP DATABASE [db_name_something]
CREATE DATABASE [db_name_something] ON (NAME = N'db_name_something_Data', FILENAME = N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdatadb_name_something_Data.MDF' , SIZE = 1, FILEGROWTH = 10%) LOG ON (NAME = N'db_name_something_Log', FILENAME = N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLdatadb_name_something_Log.LDF' , SIZE = 1, FILEGROWTH = 10%)
COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
..
..
any ideas where I am going wrong?
I know that I do not have the "GO" command, however I am trying to run the entire script from C# 2.0, using SQL Server 2000 SP4, so I have read the entire script into a string array, and split each line from the word "GO" as otherwise, I would get an error.
Many thanks

I created an SQL database in Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition and would like to edit it in SQL Server Management Studio Express. The only databases listed in the Object Explorer of SQL Server MSE are the system databases (ones that are part of the SQL Server MSE).
If I dig through the directories, I can locate my database under the Visual Studio directory, but I am unable to open it. I get an error message stating, "There is no editor available for [my database]... Make sure the application for the file type (.mdf) is installed."
I'm sure that this is a ridiculously simple rookie mistake that I'm committing somehow, but I'm stumped. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Hi allI have a question concerning sql database mdf files. In the old days I would user a ms access database. This file would be stored with the actual web files and would utilise a dsn connection. I have noted when designing with vwd 2005 express it allows you to use 2 methods of creating a mdf database. You can either create it as an attachment mdf or you can create it directly using sql manager. My question is, if you create the mdf database as an attachement file can you store it in the same manner as if you where using a ms access database, meaning can you store it with the web site's files so it uses the file storage allocated size and then create a connection similar to a dsn (but for sql) to the isp's sql engine or does it have to be uploaded to the isp' s sql server.The reason for this question is some of my customers do not want to pay the extra cost to have an sql allocation, however I do not want to go back to using old asp methods to create advanced sites as I prefer using stored procedures. Any help will be appreciated
