I am new to DTS.
In ExecuteSQLTask:
want the original sql statement of <<backup database databaeABC to backup_databaseABC with init>> to be
backup database ? to 'backup_' + ? with init
But it looks the parameter could not place a globalVariable to it and parse it with error.
One alternate way probably need to create a proc to pass a parm to it....
Also, how could pass a globalVariable to a FTP task?
thanks

Hi... I'm reading the MS Press 70-442 Self-Paced Training kit, and I'm having problems with this example.
I'd like help getting it to work correctly, or understand why it is isn't working the way I planned.
On page 67, the lab is about the APPLY operator (CROSS APPLY and OUTER APPLY). I first have to input a sample table-valued function into the AdventureWorks database:
Code Block
CREATE FUNCTION fnGetAvgCost(@ProdID int)
RETURNS @RetTable TABLE (AvgCost money)
AS
BEGIN
WITH Product(stdcost)
AS
(
SELECT avg(standardcost) as AvgCost
FROM Production.ProductCostHistory
WHERE ProductID = @ProdID
)
INSERT INTO @RetTable
SELECT * FROM Product
RETURN
END
and then run a sample T-SQL statement
Code Block
SELECT p.Name, p.ProductNumber,
Convert(varchar, cost.AvgCost,1) AS 'Average Cost'
FROM Production.Product p
CROSS APPLY fnGetAvgCost(p.ProductID) AS cost
WHERE cost.AvgCost IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY cost.AvgCost desc
My problem is with the WHERE clause... According to page 56, CROSS APPLY returns only rows from the outer table that produces a result set, so why do I need to explicitly filter NULL values?
When I remove the WHERE clause, the query retrieves lots of NULL AvgCost values.
Again, according to page 56, it is the OUTER APPLY that returns all rows that return a result set and will include NULL values in the columns that are returned from the table-valued function.
So, in short, I don't see the difference between CROSS APPLY and OUTER APPLY, using this example, when I remove the WHERE clause?
(Please refrain from introducing another example into this question.)
I have a sql server problem for which the solution is at,

I am using SETROWCOUNT 10 in my stored procedure. At end of thi sp I use SETROWCOUNT 0.
Will all other sp's that are executing at the same time as the above sp, get affected by the above SETROWCOUNT statement?
I have a table called Courses with columns "courseCode" "courseName" and "TeacherName"Im passing in a value @prefixText ...I have the following...Select courseModuleCode from courses Where courseModuleCode like @prefixTextwhat I actually want to do is return one list, i.e. one column that will do the same for "courseName" and "TeacherName" aswell based on what the @prefix tag is...so i will end up with one column that may contains some or all of the following courseModuleCode, courseName, TeacherName. Im basically implementing a search on this table and want the users to search by any of the column nameshope this makes sense.

I want to apply lock on a row, where by when another application is trying to access the locked row the application will automatically move to the next row instead of waiting for the locked row
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install sql server sp3a. I checked the version before and after the sp is applied, and it shows:
8.00.194
Now, according to the sp3a readme:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=/support/servicepacks/SQL/2000/SP3ReadMe.asp
the following versions should show:
SQL Server 2000 Original Release 8.00.194 RTM
Database Components SP1 or Desktop Engine SP1 8.00.384 SP1
Database Components SP2 or Desktop Engine SP2 8.00.534 SP2
Database Components SP3 or SP3a, or Desktop Engine SP3 or SP3a 8.00.760 SP3
This would imply that after installing sp3a and restarting, the version reported should now be 8.00.760. However, it still shows 8.00.194. So it appears to have not really installed, althought the sp3a installation ran without incident. So, how can I get the sp3a to not just act like it installed, but actually get it to install? Also, I have shut down all mssql services and rebooted, applied patch, and rebooted again. Doesn't help.
Also, if it is really installing, is there another way to tell?
Anyway, I really need to be able to install sp3a to see if it fixes another problem I'm having. Unfortunetly, since I can't even tell if the sp3a is installing, I can't tell if it really doesn't help or not. Thanks.

Is anyone else having trouble with the Apply button under the permissions tab?
I can change permissions, click apply, the changes are shown, but when I access the database, the changes arn't made. If I close the permissions windows and re open the changes arn't made.

Hi,
I have data about amount which is Decimal in my Excel file . The data is like this: $100.24. So In my SQLServer, I declared Amount column as Decimal. Before doing the exporting this data into SQLServer table, I need to remove $ symbol from the amounts. I applied like this:
Substring([Amount], 1, Length([Amount]-1). It is giving error : Incorrect format or data invalid when I entered this expression in Derived column. How to remove $ sign and store the remaining part from the Amount field?
Thanks in advance
Based on some report parameters value?
My dataset to display is coming from a stored procedure. Now based on a report parameter which user selects, I want to filter the results being displayed but only if user selects certain value in the parameter drop down. I tried using iif statement and I can use it to filter dataset based on parameter but can't get how NOT to apply the filter for a particular value of the user selected parameter.
Hope I am clear.

View 7 Replies View RelatedGood Afternoon,
I'm attempting to leverage SQL's new 'APPLY" operator and I guess I don't fully understand it proper usage.
This is a relatively simple request, first i want to count the models produced within a valid period of time. The first 'Cross Apply' gets the valid starting and ending dates and looks ups the number of models produced for the period of time. This section of code works perfectly fine.
The problem appears to be with the second "Cross Apply". What I'm attempting to accomplish is to count all models produced, regardless of time frame.
When executed the query appears to go into an loop and I end up canceling out the request.
Any ideas where I went wrong?? Any help is greatly appreciated!

from (select b.model, min(b.build_date) as MinDate ,max(b.build_date) as MaxDate

Thanks indeed for your help,
I have a database that keeps track of pledges, scheduled reminders, and payments.
A user sets up a pledge and then sets up a schedule for reminders to be sent for each payment of the pledge.
Pledge table - PledgeID,PledgeDate,PledgeAmount,etc...
ScheduledReminders table - ScheduleID,PledgeID,DueDate,ReminderDate,ReminderPrintedDate,ReminderPaidDate
AppliedPayments table - ScheduleID,PaymentID,PaidAmount,PaidDate (Junction table between ScheduledReminders and PledgePayments
PledgePayments table PaymentID,PaymentAmount,PaymentDate
What I need to know is, when a payment is being Inserted I need the payment amount applied to the oldest scheduled reminder record that has not been paid. But if the payment is more than the amount shown in the schedule reminder record, I need the balance to be applied to the next oldest schedule reminder record, etc...
Can anyone offer some good suggestions or examples on how to do this?
Hello,
We have two updateable subscribers and a publisher using transactional replication. The distributor is located on publisher. Currenetly all 3 sites are SQL 2000 SP3.

I have two SQL 6.5 servers running independently. Both servers have almost identical databases. For example, we create purchase order in SQL server A. And post the same purchase order # for it's PO Receipt and PO Inspection in SQL server B. How can I apply all transactions entered from SQL server A to SQL server B, and vise versa at end of the day. How can I get help or training for writing codes for manipulating transaction log?
