Does anyone know if it is possible to register SQL Server 7.0 in SQL Server 6.5 and vice versa?
I can't find the SQLOLE70.SQL file in SQL Server 7.0 installation disk.
Thanks in advance

I work on the Clinical Surgery Department Data Application.
The patient gets through the Admission, Surgery, PostSurgery and Discharge stages during his staying in the department. The Doctors just insert their medical data in to the different tables. I have three main classes: User, Patient and Portfolio ( patients portfolio ) and all the business bases on these classes.
The problem is with the Classes per Medical Data Tables. The Medical tables should exist cause it includes the medical data about the patient however what is not clear: Whether I should create Business and Entity classes per each medical data table ( and this is something like 50 tables ) or I should insert all the functions in the Portfolio class and then there will be a mess of functions in one class? What is the accepted way to perform it ?
Hi,
We have setup SQL Server 2000 32-bit (Publisher/Subscribers) replication with 5 different locations. We are planning to purchase SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition 64-bit and/or 32-bit. I need suggestion, if we have both version of 2005 Enterprise, can we setup replication with SQL Server 2005 64-bit with SQL Server 2005 32-bit? is that supporting?
Also can we run replication with SQL Server 2005 64-bit (Publisher) with SQL Server 2000 32-bit (Subscriber).

Can i call Tigger in store procedure or vice versa in sql server 2000.
and How it implement ?
I would like to change rows into columns and columns to rows for the query output table
If the query output is shown the table below (including the column names in the first row).
A B C D E
a1 b1 c1 d1 e1
a2 b2 c2 d2 e2
a3 b3 c3 d3 e3
a4 b4 c4 d4 e4
a5 b5 c5 d5 e5
The table needs to be converted to (the rows become columns and columns become rows).
A a1 a2 a3 a4 a5
B b1 b2 b3 b4 b5
C c1 c2 c3 c4 c5
D d1 d2 d3 d4 d5
E e1 e2 e3 e4 e5

We were having problems setting up the mirroring, so I did it via command lines. I found out the "alter...set partnership" command works on the mirror server going to the principal, but gets a 1418 error when going from the principal to the mirror.
So if A is the principal and B is the mirror, A to B fails but B to A works.
If I reverse it so that B is the principal and A is the mirror, B to A fails and A to B works.
Any suggestions?
Can i call tigger in store procdure and vice versa??
if yes how it ?????????
In C#, I can convert UTC time to a specific timezone using:
TimeZoneInfo localTimeZone = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Pacific Standard Time");
DateTime UTCTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeToUtc(localTime, localTimeZone);
Is there any equivalent function in T-SQL (SQL Server 2014 / SQL Azure)?
Specifically, I want to be able to convert a time into UTC before inserting it into a table. Right now I am doing:
INSERT INTO Incident (IncidentDescription, dtOccurred)
VALUES (@IncidentDescription, DATEADD(hour, 8, @dtOccurred))
I don't want to hardcode "8" and I want it to adjust for daylight savings time (DST).
Is there any concise solution that does not require me to define SQL functions or have lookup tables? I also don't want to use the difference between GETDATE() and SYSUTCDATETIME(), because the timezone of my server is not my local timezone.
Hi Gurus,
Here is my problem-:
I have a field in the SQL 2005 database with type varbinary(50). Now when i enter value to this field, I enter a value for example 111111101. The reason to enter such a value in varbinary(50) type is, that this value is meant to grow, as each 1 and 0 in this value is a permission or right my user would have to various features of the web application, I am designing. Now when I open the table to see the data in the database, it shows as <Binary data>. But that's okay, as binary fields are mostly meant to store pictures, files etc. But when I read this value into my ASP.Net code using c#, the value as returned as 069F6BBD. After some research I realized that for decimal value 111111101, the hex value is 069F6BBD.
All I need in my code is the same thing that I entered which is 111111101.
Can someone guide me a lil bit.
Thanks in advance..

I have an Execute SQL Task that queries for the contents of a file (which is declared as a varbinary type). My SSIS package needs to write these contents into a temporary location, so what I do is that I pass the result into a System.Object variable. I then use that variable in a Script Task.
Problem is whenever I execute my script task and DirectCast or CType the variable to a string (which is what the contents of the file is), I get a "Conversion from type '_ComObject' to type 'String' is not valid."
Any ideas on how to go about this problem?
If I join Table1 to Table2 with a WHERE condition, isit the same if I would join Table2 to Table1 consideringthat the size of the tables are different.Let's assume Table2 is much bigger than Table1.I've never used MERGE, HASH JOINs etc, do any ofthese help in this scenario?Thank you
View 3 Replies View Related1. Is it possible and what would be the gotchas for taking a backup of a database in a 32 bit instance of sql server 2000 and loading it into a 64 bit instance of 2000? How about 2005 to 2005?
2. Is it possible to reverse that and go from a 64 bit to a 32 bit?
3. How about going from a 32 bit sql server 2000 into a 64 bit sql server 2005?
We're on the verge of upgrading a rather large database from sqlserver 2000 (32 bit) into 2005 (32 bit) but they anticipate eventually upgrading the hardware to 64 bit at least for production. The test node would remain at 32 bit.
Thanks for any help.
I have a requirement to execute an Oracle procedure from within an SQL Server procedure and vice versa.

I have a password field which is of varbinary. Since its a varbinary I
cannot see the password in the database I only see hexadecimal values.
Now my question is that how can I convert those hexadecimal values to
string or varchar so I can read the password.
any ideas ??
I have a very large database running in a production environment. The backup files are getting to be very difficult to manage. They are at 70gb as of now and growing at a rate of 10gb per month. This is due to document images being stored in the database in one table. I have read a little about a new feature in SQL Server 2012 called Filetable. Can we migrate to SQL Server 2012 and convert to the filetable structure, will this decrease the size of the backups? Would backup of the document images be taken care of by our nightly file system backups now?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using rowVersion to detect rows that need to be re-extracted for my ETL. The first step in the ETL is to get MIN_ACTIVE_ROWVERSION() from the database, as well as the rowVersion from the last successful ETL run. Both of these values are saved in variables in SSIS. Since SSIS doesn't have an associated data type, these values are converted to nvarchar(512) before getting sent to SSIS.
I'm now trying to create a stored procedure to grab the data out of the source system. The sproc takes RowVersionMin and RowVersionMax as input parameters. Those parameters are then converted to varbinary(max), and I use them in a query to select the appropriate rows.
When I run the sproc in SSMS, it runs without a problem. However, when I try to use the sproc as a data source in SSIS, I get the following error: "Error converting data type nvarchar to varbinary". Why SSIS has a problem with this, but SSMS does not? The sproc code looks like this:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[dw_DimComment_DataLoad]
@RunType varchar(3),
@RowVersionMin nvarchar(512),
@RowVersionMax nvarchar(512)
AS
BEGIN

Hi,We have stored proc name proc_test(str nvarchar(30)). So far this prochas been invoked from a .NET application assuming that only Englishcharacter strings will be passed to it. The calls are likeproc_test('XYZ')We now have a requirement for passing Chinese strings as well. Ratherthan changing the calls throughout the application, we would like tohandle it in the stored procedure so that it treats the string as aunicode string. Can we apply some function to the parameter to convertit to unicode so that we don't have to call with an N prefixed to thestring?Thanks,Yash
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a fixed-width flat file that I'm importing to a SQL table in a data flow task. The first field is an ID field, of length 12, that I'm told I can assume is an INT datatype. Obviously, it's a little silly to shove an integer that can be a max of 10 digits into a 12 digit field... but that's my situation.
I set the columns on the flat file connection manager to be inputColumnWidth of 12, and datatype of DT_I4. When I try to run the package, I get the error (understandably): The data conversion for column "ID" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
What are my options here? I'm going to assume that even though the width is 12 characters, only an integer will appear in those spaces. I attempted to use a derived column and a type cast, but to no avail. Help would be appreciated... thanks!
is there a way to query a varbinary column and print the readable char in query analyzer?
thanks in advance!

Hi guys,I'm currently trying to insert image into my SQL db.
I have tried a number of methods that were posted online, and so far
with no luck.My current code reads: Dim conn As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection() conn.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("MainDBConnection").ToString conn.Open() Dim cmd As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("SP_SAVEImage", conn) cmd.CommandType = Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure Dim sImageName As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@sImageName", Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 50) sImageName.Value = sImageName Dim sImageType As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@sImageType", Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 50) sImageType.Value = fileType Dim sImageData As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@sImageData", Data.SqlDbType.Image, uploadedFile.Length) sImageData.Value = uploadedFile cmd.Parameters.Add(sImageName) cmd.Parameters.Add(sImageType) cmd.Parameters.Add(sImageData) Dim reader1 As Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader reader1 = cmd.ExecuteReaderRunning
through debug, everything runs up until the last line, where an error
is caught saying : Failed to convert parameter value from a
SqlParameter to a String I reckon it's to do with the input sImageData being input as a byte array - but I can't seem to find a way around it. Any help greatly appreciated!!
I have been working on this all day and cannot find an answer

Thank you all in advance!!!!!!!
I am writing a stored procedure that generates a computername for new workstations. Our naming standards, based on terminal ID's, are as follows:
'R' + X + Y + ZZZ, where 'R' is the letter 'R', X is a hex digit indication a locatoin, Y is a hex digit indicating business line, and ZZZ is a hexadecimal sequential number assigned within each location/busines line, for up to 4096. (This isn't a perfect naming standard, but is an improvement over the one that preceded it and is a requirement for our legacy applications).
I can do everything fine, and calculate the sequential number using an int. Once I have the new number, I am trying to convert the integer to a varbinary, then convert that to a string, then use RIGHT to get the rightmost three characters of the hex string.
set @SEQNUM = 4095
set @HEXSEQNUM = CONVERT(varbinary ,@SEQNUM)
PRINT CONVERT(varbinary ,@SEQNUM) -- displays 0x00000FFE etc.
PRINT 'HEXSEQNUM ' + @HEXSEQNUM -- displays 'HEXSEQNUM'
Any ideas? I am very new to TSQL...
Hello,I try to convert a pseudo datetime string into a date. In Oracle I can doto_date( MyDate, 'yyyymmddhh24miss' ); how I can do this with MS SQL ?thanks and regardsMark
View 2 Replies View RelatedI get the following error when I do a CONVERT(UNIQUEIDENTIFIER, 'guid'), where 'guid' is a properly formatted GUID created in VS2005, inside my INSERT statement:
The data was truncated while converting from one data type to another. [ Name of function(if known) = ]
The column I am inserting into has a datatype of uniqueIdentifier.
This is the query I am running:
INSERT INTO [Table] ([guid], [value1], [value2])

Hi
What's wrong about
SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN [PO Date] BETWEEN CONVERT(Datetime, @FY + '/04/01')
AND CONVERT(Datetime, @FY -1 + '/03/31') THEN Quantity ELSE 0 END) AS Expr1,
[Item No_]
FROM table A
I am trying to write a function to convert a hex string to binary. I would like it in a function so I can use it on aggregate data in queries (instead of having to cursor through the data). So, I write my function:
CREATE FUNCTION HexToBinary (@hexstring char(16)) RETURNS binary(8)
AS
BEGIN
declare @b binary(8)
,@sql nvarchar(255)
SET @sql = N'SET @b = 0x' + @hexstring
EXEC sp_executesql @sql,N'@b binary(8) out',@b output
RETURN @b
END
Then, I try to call my function:
SELECT HexToBinary('E0')
...and I get:
Msg 195, Level 15, State 10, Line 1
'HexToBinary' is not a recognized built-in function name.
However, I can get it to work if I use a slightly different syntax:
declare @b binary(8)
exec @b = HexToBinary 'E0'
select @bAny thoughts as to what might be going on? Obviously, the lower syntax does not help me call this function in queries, which is really my goal.

Hi there,
I have the following code:

Dim Rooms As String = Ctype(Request.Querystring("Rooms"), String)
Dim Rent As String = Ctype(Request.Querystring("Rent"), String)
Dim DateToday = DateTime.Now
Dim mySQL AS String
If suburbValue = "- All -" Then
mySQL = "SELECT propListID, propListExpires, propBuildType, propRoomNumber, propRentPerWeek, propDescription, propCityTown, propSuburb FROM tblPropertyList WHERE [propCityTown]='" & CityTown & "' AND [propRentPerWeek]<= '" & Rent & "' AND [propRoomNumber]='" & Rooms & "'AND [propListExpires] >='" & DateToday & "' "
