View 3 Replies View RelatedHey guys,
I have a Access adp that backs onto SQL Server 2005, its taken a while but tis nearly done.
Just one last thing to figure out.. and thats how to send a email. I had a look at all the Access ways and they just wont work out for this.
So I decided to use the server to send them, I would insert/update a row into a table which has a trigger on it.
The table has amoung other things a Approved and Declined column.
Both at 0 Sends an email to an Approver
App 1 Dec 0 Sends on further
and App 0 Dec 1 sends back to the original sender.
All I really want to know is could a trigger execute a package or something that will send the email? (Yes thats right someone isnt asking for code for once:D meh must be winter in hell)
If theres any flaws in my idea please feel free to tell me (Saves me denting the desk with my head half a week and 10 pages of code from now)
And where do I create triggers:P (Will probly have found this one in BOL by the time anyone replys)
Sorry about this but I really have no clue about triggers.. seems the site doesnt like me searching for triggers

Hi
i have a comment column which is varchar(200). when a user types any say for example a couple of small paragraph with commas , colon, hard enter key.
when i run a select statement and save it to csv file and then open with excel, if the comments has comma then i get these info in separate column and if there is hard enter key then it goes into new line.
Is there a way to get these info in one column
Thanks,
Query hints exceed maximum command buffer size of 1023 bytes(1029 bytes input).

We use MS SQL Server as our database and we have lots ofproblems with time-outs.

Hi all
If i have a view:
CREATE VIEW vw_Users

Is it suggested to use nolock in views?
And if i needed to use this view in stored procs is it then suggested to apply the nolock hint?
CREATE PROC [dbo] .[usp_GetCompanyUsers]
AS
SELECT * FROM Companies WITH(NOLOCK) JOIN
vw_Users WITH(NOLOCK) --<< ---is this suggested?

I have looked everywhere for an answer for this one, so if it's out there and I've missed it, sorry.
I want to include a list of instructions with a report that I am sending out to a list of subscribers (not Data Driven, each is an individual subscription). It seems no matter how I enter the text in the Comments box, the body of the email comes out as a continuous stream of text with no line breaks, which is difficult for the recipients to read.
Is there a way to embed line breaks as a minimum, but preferrably additional formatting, in a subscription comment?
Thanks

Hi,
Can any tell me how to check whether any Comment been entered in a Cell in the Excel Sheet?
It is pretty urgent. Solutions are greatly appreciable.
Thanks & Regards,
Prakash Srinivasan.
The following sql works great when the field for my main blog message is type nvarchar but doesn't work for text which I need to convert to.
select
a.id, b.textField
count(b.a_id) as myCount
from a left join b on a.id = b.a_id
group by a.id, b.textField
What other methods could i use to get "myCount" within one sql statement?
Thanks in advance, Jeff
Hi there,
I need to get back the actual characters (without trailing blanks) contained in a char(43) field.
So i tried:
- substring(fieldname,1,len(fieldname)) which yields a 43 char column
- using a variable that contains the actual length in
substring(fieldname,1,@nchar)) the same.
- tricking by concatenating the resulting string with a dummy like "" didn't
work either.
So apparently I am at a dead end.
Anybody a clue, hint or solution????
Thanks to all contributors
We are discovering that adding Force Order to a query is substantially increasing performance. Any issues around using this ?

inserted a record with an identity field
I had a '-- comment' right
Select @data = @@identity
This select failed - @data was NULL
I changed it to SET @data = @@identity
This also failed @data was null
I then change to the follow which worked - Why would the different form of a
comment make a difference? I was the only one in the database, there were no
other changes. I could make the logic block fail or succed by just changing
the comment syntax.

I had a '/** comment**/' right

Hi,
Is it possible to place an exclusive row lock when running a SELECT query by using a lock hint (or otherwise).
Basically, when a select statement is run against a table I don't won't any other users to read that row until it has been updated - at some later stage.
Any suggestions on whether this is possible would be welcome.
Thanks,

Hi there gurus, can you please add your 2 cents on this design? We'rehaving trouble relating these tables in a diagram because of the keys.Is it necesary to have the references setup? I would assume yes so theforign keys can be setup.If you look at this link, you'll see our diagram. In Red are therelationships that we would like to make for referential integrity, butcannot because of the keys.http://rullo.ca/linktome/QuestionsDB.jpgOur goal in all of this is to have a facility wherin we can store aquestion, that has multiple names over multiple Languages. Forinstance:-Q1| QNameID = 1 | "Do you have a dog in your appartment?" | LangID =1(eng)-Q1| QNameID = 2 | "Do you have a dog in your house?" | LangID =1(eng)-Q1| QNameID = 1 | "-French - Do you have a chien in your appartment?"| LangID = 2(fr)-Q1| QNameID = 2 | "-French - Do you have a chien in your house?" |LangID = 2(fr)The difficulty is when we try and put this in the group details table.We don't want to outline the Language, we'd just pass the language intoa proc to retreive a specific group with a specific language. If youfolks would be so kind as to add your comments to the design I would betruely grateful.CREATE TABLE [Question] ([QuestionID] [int] NOT NULL ,[SystemName] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOTNULL ,CONSTRAINT [PK_Question] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED([QuestionID]) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY]GOCREATE TABLE [QuestionAnswer] ([QuestionID] [int] NOT NULL ,[QuestionAnswerID] [int] NOT NULL ,[SystemName] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOTNULL ,CONSTRAINT [PK_QuestionAnswer] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED([QuestionID],[QuestionAnswerID]) ON [PRIMARY] ,CONSTRAINT [FK_QuestionAnswer_Question] FOREIGN KEY([QuestionID]) REFERENCES [Question] ([QuestionID])) ON [PRIMARY]GOCREATE TABLE [QuestionAnswerName] ([QuestionAnswerID] [int] NOT NULL ,[QuestionAnswerNameID] [int] NOT NULL ,[LanguageID] [int] NOT NULL ,[Name] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,CONSTRAINT [PK_QuestionAnswerName] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED([QuestionAnswerID],[QuestionAnswerNameID],[LanguageID]) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY]GOCREATE TABLE [QuestionGroup] ([QuestionGroupID] [int] NOT NULL ,[Name] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,CONSTRAINT [PK_QuestionGroup] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED([QuestionGroupID]) ON [PRIMARY]) ON [PRIMARY]GOCREATE TABLE [QuestionGroupDetails] ([QuestionGroupID] [int] NOT NULL ,[QuestionNameID] [int] NOT NULL ,[QuestionAnswerNameID] [int] NOT NULL ,[QuestionSortOrder] [int] NULL ,[AnswerSortOrder] [nchar] (10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_ASNULL ,[DisplayLevel] [int] NULL ,CONSTRAINT [PK_QuestionGroupDetails] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED([QuestionGroupID],[QuestionNameID],[QuestionAnswerNameID]) ON [PRIMARY] ,CONSTRAINT [FK_QuestionGroupDetails_QuestionGroup1] FOREIGN KEY([QuestionGroupID]) REFERENCES [QuestionGroup] ([QuestionGroupID])) ON [PRIMARY]GOCREATE TABLE [QuestionNames] ([QuestionID] [int] NOT NULL ,[QuestionNameID] [int] NOT NULL ,[LanguageID] [int] NOT NULL ,[Name] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Desciption] [nchar] (10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[ControlTypeID] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL ,CONSTRAINT [PK_QuestionNames] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED([QuestionID],[QuestionNameID],[LanguageID]) ON [PRIMARY] ,CONSTRAINT [FK_QuestionNames_Question] FOREIGN KEY([QuestionID]) REFERENCES [Question] ([QuestionID])) ON [PRIMARY]GO
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am setting up a data driven subscription to send out an email which includes a report. The Sql for the data driven subscription outputs the EmailTo, Subject, Comment(Body) and some report parameters.

I've tried many different permutations of inserting the CR/LF, From concatenating Char(13) + Char(10) in which the email does recognize the Cr/LF to concatenating binary 0x0D + 0x0A which after the first concatenation of binary nothing else can be concatenated.

According to what I see in BOL, the following should work:
delete
from dbo.tbl1 WITH (INDEX(idx_un01))
where tbl1_no = 1
Yet when I syntax check this I get:
Msg 1069, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Index hints are only allowed in a FROM clause.
(Please ignore the fact that index hints are unnecessary / a bad idea / etc.)
Hi, experts,
How can we add comment which only appears on the first page of the report?
I am looking forward to hearing from you for your help and thanks a lot in advance.
With kindest regards,
Yours sincerely,
Hi all,
I have a report where I have to display State, Category Name and the text. Below is the sample report
State Category Name Text
TX Unanticipated High NT due to RADD clean up- drive replacement.
NJ Unanticipated SAR efforts (SEM configuration)
But now my question is if there is no comment in any other state I would like to show no comment in the text line. Is there any formula I can use in the report level that will take care of the issue. I know in Business object there is a formula you can create which is =If (IsNull([Text]);"No Comments Reported";[Text]). I need to know in ssrs there is something.
please let me know ASAP and the steps of doing that.
Thanks

Hi,
I want to implement the following pattern (pseudo-code follows):
[for index in x different databases, where x is rather big]
create database MyDatabase_#{index}_Temp
launch a dedicated ssis package on this database
if I detect no error, proudly rename MyDatabase_#{index}_Temp to MyDatabase_#{index}_Last_Known_Good (drop the last_known_good first if it exist)
Later on, a consolidation process collect the data in Last_Known_Good versions of the databases.
My question: what is the simpliest way to achieve the rename operation (step 3) ?
I have tried an "alter database #{old_database_name} modify name = #{new_database_name}", but it works only once: once renamed, the database keeps the old mdf and ldf filenames, and the next create database will choke on this.
I have also tried to rename the logical filenames with ALTER DATABASE XXX MODIFY FILE (NAME = YYY, NEWNAME = ZZZ) but it doesn't work either.
I'd like to avoid specifying absolute mdf and ldf filenames myself, is it possible ?
best,
Thibaut
We just encountered an odd failure in ADODB. If it gets an SQL query with a comment embedded in it, and the comment has an apostrophe as one of the characters, ADODB gets confused as it tries to plug in parameters for placeholders later in the query. For example:
SELECT id, name
FROM doc_type /* this won't work! */
WHERE name LIKE ?
If you take out the apostrophe ("this will not work!") or move the comment to follow the placeholder, the query works.
Is this a known bug (couldn't find it in the KB)?
Thanks,
Bob Kline
I am running SQL Server 2005 SP2 and I am getting an SQL error due to the server not recognizing the "--" as a comment. (I am using the 32-bit version) The same code runs on SQL Server 2000 with no problem.
Is there a setting to correct this? Do I need to install the cumulative update pkg 3 to correct this problem?
An interesting discussion yesterday. One of the programmers asked about the use of the NOLOCK optimizer hint with an iterator table aka table of numbers. His comment was that this optimizer hint was not efficient. Rather than give a knee-jerk response I thought it would be better to ask. The main circumstance is that the iterator table is completely static with a fill factor of 100%. My purpose is to eliminate lock contention if I can.
Are there reasons to not use the NOLOCK hint in this case to potentially improve performance?
