SQL 2000
I have inherited an application where many of the automated processes
call a proc that simply returns the number of records with a NEW
status.
In watching the process in SQL, I see this ends up blocking a lot of
processes - many like this are called every 5-30 seconds ...
I wish to replace COUNT(*) with EXISTS if that will make things operate
faster with no locks ...
Thoughts ...
Thanks everyone !!

Ive got a table of notes people have created, with a field called "timecreated" which has a default value of "GETDATE()" Im trying to write an SQL statement that will count up all of the notes that people have created today/ yesturday etc. i could do it if the timecreated value was a "short date string" styled date, but its set up like : 11/11/2007 18:51:46 is there way of converting it before counting? if theres a simple way of doing this i would appricate any help thanks John

1. Give login db_datareader / db_datawriter permissions to a DB
2. Add a DTS Package, it uses a script, and schedule it.
Here's how I do them in EM....
Issue 1: Security - Logins,
Right click on login, select properties
In database access tab, check Permit for DB
In database role, check public, db_datareader, db_datawriter.
Issue 2: DTS - Local Packages

Create SQL connection & exe SQL task (attach seperate SQL script)

Hello everybody ,
I want you to explain me something that i find a little strange.
Yesterday i had a problem with a huge log file and a friend in here helped me fix this by making a log back up and then shrinking it to 200 MB.Everything went fine.When i returned home i tried something else in a test environment..Here what happened:
I Got a full database back up.
I dropped the database.
I created a new one with 1GB mdf and 250MB ldf.
I vanished the log back -up
I restored the mdf file on the new database
The log file again had the same huge size after the restore.
How did this happen?
I sell my mother in law.Is anybody interested?
Hi all,
a question that has been in my mind for a while:
A HEAP is a table that has no clustered index.
Now consider a table that has a unique clustered index (primary key) on an identity column ?
For example:
create table Test
(
TestId int identity(1,1) not null,
...,
constraint PK_Test primary key clustered (TestId)
)
Is there a recognised term for such a table ?
Thanks

One interviewer has asked me the following question:
What are the things that you consider while designing database?
I have told about integrity constraints, and normal forms.
but he has added 15 more concepts like
1. indexers
2. Table columns
3. Table rows
4. search facilities
6.......
Can any one give full Idea on this question?
Thanking you Ashok kumar.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have made a report in SRS and am not sure of how to do some of the functions I need.
In SQL I can use UPPER to convert to upper case, SRS doesn't seem to like this. The report runs but the line that is to be upper case is missing. If I remove the UPPER word from my query it works fine just displaying in lower case. Am I doing something wrong?
In Excel 2007 (I am converting my report from Excel to SRS) there is a function called NETWORKDAYS (Returns the number of whole working days between start_date and end_date. Working days exclude weekends and any dates identified in holidays. Use NETWORKDAYS to calculate employee benefits that accrue based on the number of days worked during a specific term.) Is there something similar I can use in SRS?
Thanks.
Okay,
I'm creating a small application for my local school district that will allow them to do a small management of inventory.
Is there a way to create an executable script that will create the default databases the first time? If so, what all do I need to do for the script and to make it execute?
I want to make a section in my OPTIONS area where users can put the path to their db (will not be hosted on the same PC as the software) along with the username and password for the db. I know I can store this information in a predetermined variable in the program so that it can reference it off and on.
Could someone please help me with this..... If it's in the wrong forum please let me know.
Thanks,

Hello.
I am a newbe in this and I tried to find the information on the msdn but could not find a god answer.
I am using VisualStudio Express 2005 and a SQL Server Express version.
In a Visual Basic application I use "radio buttons", "tick boxes", "Combo Boxes" and "Numeric Up Down".
But I cant figure out what data type to use to save the data in a SQL server.
It would be nice to have a document that maps the different data types to use in SQL Server according to what object you are using in the Visual Studio.
Thanks in advance.

Good afternoon,
I've here a shell plugin and it's compiling fine and can be viewed in BI Dev Studio when choosing the DM technique using the proper wizard.
I also have here a K-Means implementation that estimates the number of clusters using a statistical semi-empiric index (the PBM index).
This implementation is done in C# and works fine. But it has to receive all the data of the database (all variables for each row) in order to do the proper vectorial calculations in a CSR (Compact Sparse Rows) way.
Besides, as you know, K-Means needs all the data at once because of the clusters mean (centroid) calculation.
So, I have some questions:
1) Where to place the call to the K-Means implementation in the shell passing as argument an object holding all the data ?
2) After this call, with the data clustered, what other objects must be modified in order to use Microsoft Cluster Viewer ?
3) I will need to create a new column or a new table on the database to specify which data belongs to which cluster. Can I open an ADO connection as I normally do in other programs from inside the plugin or is there another (easier/better) way to do so ?
Thanks a lot once more.
Best regards,

Hi all of you,
I've got a .dtproj project along with 10 dtsx packages. Up to here everything is fine, every package have its own source files, sql destinations and so on..
Issue comes when I try create a flat file source connection for the eleven one.
I get this message:
The component has detected potential metadata corruption during validation.
Error at Data Flow Task [Flat File Source [1]]: Failed to find any non-special error column in output "Flat File Source Error Output" (3).
It may not be possible to recover to a valid state using a component-specific editor. Do you want to use the Advanced Editor dialog box for editing this component?
Otherwise if I'm gonna to open a new .dtproj project separately no problem at all, I mean, appears the suitable window, "Connection Manager", "Column", "Error output" on the left and so on..
It's very strange. The rest of the packages, the same situation. Fortunately, all of them are stored on the server.
I don't get the point at all. Could you please tell me what the hell is happening?
Thanks in advance and regards,
http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/default.aspx has a lot of great tid-bits for SQL 2005. I am currently on a tight deadine for 25 SSIS packages that need to be able to move from Dev to QA to Staging to Prod. For the life of me I cannot get any of the packages to *READ* the config files created with the package config wizard. All I want to do is move the connection string out of the package so we can change the config file and not have to touch (hand edit) each package. Any help is appreciated!

Hi Friends
I have a identity column in a table, while adding records,
it fills the column with different values, for eg. 75 after 90.

Hello,
I have finish building my ASP.NET site using VS 2005 and it compile just fine. Than I try hosting it to the web via IIS v5.1 and I am getting permission error from SQL express.

2. I have already follow this How to site: http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2005/05/05/415084.aspx and setup:
- TCP/IP enable, as shown here:
- I have started SQL Browser service
- The firewall part I am not so sure about. I am currently using Zonealarm....
3. I have installed SQL Server Management Studio Express(SSMSE) and attach the two database to it.
4. I have set SSMSE server properties to accept both SQL and window authentication.
5. I have made sure that both database "read only" setting to false
6. I have setup SQL login with User ID = SQLLOGIN
Here is the original connection in web.config:
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|Da
taDirectory|PhotoDataBase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
and here is the new connection I just type in web.config that replace the original one:
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|PhotoDataBase.mdf; Server=MINGDESKTOP; Integrated Security=False; uid=SQLLOGIN; Password=XXXXXX;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
and the error i get are the follow:

Hello,
A while ago I installed SQL CE on my decive. Unfortunately, it crapped out at one point so I'm reinstalling what needs to be put back on. I'm pretty sure I just used the CAB files to do this (but I might be mistaken). In any case, I remember there being an application that allowed me to do queries, browse data, etc. on my device's databases... I'm pretty sure it was just something included with SQL CE.
I already have the CF installed. I have all of the SQL CE CABs installed as well (I think)... but for some reason I simply cannot remember what CAB or other installation that would contain the browser, query creation thing, and so on...
Anyone have any idea what I'm rambling on about? Thanks!
I have a main report and some subreports.
What i want to achieve is the subreports would be dynamically sent parameters to and the layout would change depending on some
parameters sent from the main report.
So there ia going to be a main report that is constant but the subreports data and layout could change.
Another question is can i have an expression that would hide a subreport if there is no data in the subreport?
Any ideas would be appreciated
one MS forum MVP seemed to be saying that a connection retry strategy is the key to making an app "cluster aware". Another MVP on sql server forums at sqlteam.com seems to be saying that this isnt how one makes an app cluster aware from a sql perspective, eventhough she seems to agree that a 15 second double retry strategy is a good thing. Am I missing what "cluster aware" really means?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I create a multivalue report parameter I have noticed that the multi-select list box that is created is never really wide enough for the data that I am listing in the box. Is there a way to control the width and possibly the height, of this list box either staticly or dynamicly?
Another problem that I am having is with the way a report displays from within the web browser. It seems that when a report will need to scroll to the right that it gets either cut off or there isn't a scroll bar on the first page of the report. If there is more than one page to the report I can go to the second page and then come back to the first page and the scroll bar appears.
Are there any fixes or workarounds for these problems? Or have I just not read far enough into the documentation?

Or somebody creates a thread in a forum or replies to a topic (much like what we do here).
In these instances, what is the most efficient manner of storing the high-character content in these examples with SQL Server 2005? Keep in mind that a user could make a 2-character post like "OK" or could write a long reply or create a huge profile. So the data type has to be efficient and flexible. Judging from the list of available types in my Express 2005, I would guess the varchar(MAX) or the text data types could be used. Or would I use some other data type?
TIA.
Hi All,
I've got the following situation.
I've got a report that has 3 multiselect parameter selection dropdowns in my report.
Dropdown 3 is depending on the selected values of dropdown 2.
Dropdown 2 is depending on the selected values of dropdown 1.
For example:
In dropdown 1 the values A1 and A2 are available
when I select a value A 1 in dropdown 1 values A1_B1 and A1_B2 are available in dropdown 2
when I select A1 and A2 in dropdown1 values A1_B1, A1_B2, A2_B1 and A2_B2 are available in dropdown 2
when i select A1_B1 in dropdown 2 values A1_B1_C1,A1_B1_C2 are available in dropdown 3
when i select A1_B1 AND A1_B2 IN dropdown2 values A1_B1_C1,A1_B1_C2, A1_B2_C1,A1_B2_C2 are available in dropdown 3
dropdown 1 | dropdown 2 | dropdown 3
A1 | A1_B1 | A1_B1_C1
| | A1_B1_C2
| A1_B2 | A1_B2_C1
| | A1_B2_C2
in the "picture" above I describe the selection i make in the report
so
in dropdown 1 I select A1
in dropdown 2 I select A1_B1,A1_B2
in dropdown 3 I select A1_B1_C1,A1_B1_C2,A1_B2_C1, A1_B2_C2
then the strang happens.
When I look in profiler to see what happens, is that for dropdown 2 the second value for the parameter of dropdown 2 is
and for dropdown 3 all except the first one is missing.
The values from the dropdownboxes are passed through to a subreport. When the selected values from dropdown boxes are passed though directly to the datasets this problem doesn't occur.
Is this normal behaviour? Or do I miss something.
Thanks for your help,
Eric
To minimize the very large number of stored procedures typicallyassociated with an application, I have gotten in the habit ofcombining a select, insert, update, and delete all in one procedure,and passing an argument to indicate which to use. (I use defaultvalues for all input params to avoid having to declare them forselects and deletes.) So I'll have just one PersonAdmin proc insteadof PersonGet, PersonInsert, PersonUpdate, and PersonDelete procsWhile this is nice for housekeeping, I wonder what the compiler doeswith such an architecture,and I fear the worst. The select returns arecordset; the others don't.Is this a bad idea?If it is, I really wish SQL would permit some sort of user folderstructure in the proc list.

in my count function,my code look like,
set buyerset as exists(dimcustomer.leval02.allmembers,custoertypeisRetailers,"Sales")
set saleset(buyerset)
set custdimensionfilter as {custdimensionmemb1,custdimensionmemb2,custdimensionmemb3,custdimensionmemb4}
set finalset as exists(salest,custdimensionfilter,"Sales")
Set ProdIP as dimproduct.dimproduct.prod1
set Othersset as (cyears,ProdIP)
(exists(([FINALSET],Othersset,dimension2.dimension2.item3),[DimCustomerBuyer].[ParentPostalCode].currentmember, "factsales")).count
it will take 12 to 15 min to execute.
I am trying to get count on a varchar field, but it is not giving me distinct count. How can I do that? This is what I have....
Select Distinct
sum(isnull(cast([Total Count] as float),0))
from T_Status_Report
where Type = 'LastMonth' and OrderVal = '1'
hi
I had a view in which I did something like this
isnull(fld,val) as 'alias'
when I assign a value to this in the client (vb 6.0) it works ok in sql2000 but fails in 2005.
When I change the query to fld as 'alias' then it works ok in sql 2005 .
why ?? I still have sql 2000 (8.0) compatability.
Also some queries which are pretty badly written run on sql 2000 but dont run at all in sql 2005 ???
any clues or answers ?? it is some configuration issue ?
Thanks in advance.
