Data Dictionary For Exisiting DB
Jul 31, 2000
I need to build a data dictionary for a SQL 7 DB that already exists that has over 16000 columns. What I really need is to add a comment to the table and column names.We use ERWin and have looked at the Microsoft Repository
but I would like a quick interface to create the descriptions which neither one of these have. I scripted out all the table and column objects into tables and built a simple Access Form to handle the updates. Now I need to
commite these updates to the Microsoft Repository. Has anyone seen or tried something like this?
THanks

We have several SQL 6.5 data bases and a few Access Data Bases. We would like to build a data dictionary. Has anyone seen any 3rd party products which might help, or any ideas of how to manipulate the existing objects to do so?

Is there any tool for data dictionary? Basically there are no
descriptions/comments to many of the columns (about 99%) in the database. Datawarehouse team does not know exactly what those columns are, where its used, how its used. No comments have been defined in the system tables. We would like to have a tool where SME's/Bussiness analysts enter the description for the columns in the production database. We have SQL Server databases, many oracle dbs, few sybase databases, ACCESS. Sometimes we might have to search for strings in the descriptions entered.

I am adding tables to a DB. I want to put table and column descriptions in as I go.
1. Is there a "Description" property for the table? I see in the column properties list a "description".
2. Once I have my descriptions all in, indexes set etc, is there a system stored procedure that I can run that will generate the data dictionay? (With a table description.)
Thanks

Hi ,all here,
Would please anyone here give me any guidance and advices for best practice of data dictionary in SQL Server 2005?
I have restored a large insurance claims database with up to more than 300 tables, massively, most of them are empty tables, many of them dont have any keys, contrains, indexes, and more difficult, there is no any data dictionary for the database which gets me stuck in the understanding of the data at the moment. Thus I think data dictionary is very important for a database.
Will anyone gives me advices for that? Really need help.
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

Hi,
I'm thinking of implementing a rudimentary Data Dictionary for a database using extended properties to store table and column descriptions.
Does having this information for every table and column in a database (200 tables; 2000 columns) cause any (negative) impact on database performance? I'm guessing it shouldn't but want to make sure before implementing this in the production environment.
Thanks,
Smitha

I am getting the following error when trying to point a Bulk Insert Connection Manager to an existing folder (rather than a file). Anyone else having this problem or know what i am doing
wrong? I find it interesting that is says file (below) when i told the connection manager to point to the folder. Thanks in advance.
"Error: 0xC002F304 at Bulk Insert Task, Bulk Insert Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot bulk load because the file "c:Folder" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).".

Hi i tried designing a SSIS package which loads only those rows which were different from existing rows in the table , i need to timestamp the existing row with an inactive date when a update of that row is inserted (ex: same studentID )
and the newly inserted row with a insert time stamp
so as to indicate the new row as currently active, in short i need to maintain history and current rows in same table , i tried using slowly changing dimension but could not figure out, anyone experience or knowledge regarding the Data loads please respond.
example of Data would be like
exisiting data
StudentID Name AGE Sex ADDRESS INSERTTIME UPDATETIME
12 DDS 14 M XYZ ST 2/4/06 NULL
14 hgS 17 M ABC ST 3/4/07 NULL
New row to insert would be
12 DDS 15 M DFG ST 4/5/07
the data should reflect
StudentID Name AGE Sex ADDRESS INSERTTIME UPDATETIME
12 DDS 14 M XYZ ST 2/4/06 4/5/07
12 DDS 15 M DFG ST 4/5/07 NULL
14 hgS 17 M ABC ST 3/4/07 NULL
Please provide your input as much as you can even though it might not be a 100% solution.

I'm developing a report which contains a number of matrixes which are ordered in a hierarchy which can be navigated using a document map. One of the matrixes contains a subreport containing a table which displays a description for the matrix and the corresponding document map label. This is working without problem already in the production environment.
Recently, after updating my machine with numerous updates and patches, this stopped functioning. I now receive the error message, "The given key was not present in the dictionary" when I run this subreport, either as part of the greater report or on its own.
I have seen the posting which recommends deleting the report.rdl.data files. This did not solve the issue.
The data and the dataset are both in sync. When I click the "Print layout" button when previewing the report in Visual Studio .Net 2005, I can view the data. This looks like a bug in the VS.NET 2005 report designer.
I am running SQL Server 2005 SP2.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Bill Mueller

I need to sort my data more than just order it using Order by clause.
I need the, to appear so that they are sorted like in dictionary's order.
example: if I have 0.1 and 0.2 and 0.11
They need to be ordered into 0.1 then 0.11. then 2.0. etc.
I thought I could use Val() function but it wasn't a successful attempt. Anyone can help me please?
I'm using ColdFusion and this is one of the query :
<cfparam name="sort" default="goal_cd">
<cfquery name="GetTheme" datasource="#application.OUSDSN#">
Select goal.*,theme.*
From goal,Theme
Where goal_theme_id = theme_id
Order by #sort#
<cfif sort is "goal_cd">
Order by Val(#sort#) <--------------------- This doesn't work!!!
<cfelse>
Order by #sort#
</cfif>
</cfquery>

Hi there,
I have a search page that redirects to another page transfering the search terms in a querystring. In the page to display the search results I use SQL parameters to show the results. Everything runs fine until I do a page refresh or use paging to bring up another set of results.
Everytime I try to refresh/page etc. I get the following error:
Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: "@CityTown" Key being added: "@CityTown"
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: "@CityTown" Key being added: "@CityTown"

Line 24: dsPropertyListing.Parameters.Add("@Rooms", Rooms)

Any sugestions that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. This error obviously renders the search features useless.
Thanks in anticipation,

I currently have a udf written in T-SQL that's getting way too logically complicated!
It€™s typically accessed like this:
SELECT PartNumber,dbo.PartPrice(Manufacturer, Model, AssemblageInfo, Version, CustomerDiscountLevel) FROM WorkOrders where OrderNumber=123456
The udf does some complicated manipulations on the parameters and eventually does a SELECT on a lookup table and returns the result.
If I make this a managed code udf, the logic gets much simpler to write (great!).
But, my question is:
Can I take the lookup table and embed it in the udf--so the udf doesn't have to go to the database to do the lookup?
Would I do that in a STATIC dictionary<>?
Is it wise to keep the info statically?
The lookup table consists of 3600(+/-) elements and changes exactly once a month.
The SELECT statement using the udf typically returns several thousand rows.
The SELECT is done often.

Hi, all here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am wondering if it is possible to use SSIS to sample data set to training set and test set directly to my data mining models without saving them somewhere as occupying too much space? Really need guidance for that.
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

After testing out the application i write on the local pc. I deploy it to the webserver to test it out. I get this error.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The conversion of a char data type to a
datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
Notes: all pages that have this error either has a repeater or datagrid which load data when page loading.
At first I thought the problem is with the date, but then I can see
that some other pages that has datagrid ( that has a date field) work
just fine.
anyone having this problem before?? hopefully you guys can help.

I have used both data readers and data adapters(with datasets) in the projects that I have worked on. I am trying to get some clarification on when I should be using which one. I think I am doing this correctly but I want to be sure I am developing good habits.
As the name might suggest, it seems like a datareader is for only reading data. I have read that the data adapter and dataset are for a disconnected architecture. Or, that they can be used for this type of set up. I have been using the data adapter and datasets when writing to a database and the datareader when reading from a database.
Is this how these should be used? Is the data reader the best choice for reading data? Am I doing this the optimal way from a performance stand point?
......................................................thanks in advance

I have a requirement to implement CDC for 50+ tables to implement incremental data changes warehouse/reporting rather than exporting the whole table data. The largest table is having more than half a billion records.
The warehouse use a daily copy of OLTP db (daily DB refresh). How can I accomplish this. Is there a downside in implementing CDC just for the sake of taking incremental changes on the tables?
Is there any performance impact if we enable CDC on OLTP db?
Can we make use of the CDC tables on the environment we do daily db refresh so that the queries don't hit OLTP database?
What is the best way to implement CDC to take incremental changes for reporting.

Hi all, i got this error:
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: "component "Excel Source" (1)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA".
and also this:
[Excel Source [1]] Warning: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The column "Fiscal Week" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection. The column "Fiscal Year" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection. The column "1st level" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection. The column "2nd level" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection. The column "3rd level" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection.

I tried going data flow->excel connection->advanced editor for excel source-> input and output properties and tried to refresh the columns affected.
It seems that somehow the 3 columns are not read in from the source file?

I Iwill have many customers that will need their own set of records and access pages "branded for their company" each customer will have many clients. I am hosting this application on a windows 2003 server with SQL 2005 server enterprise.
I am using windows authentication, I have created a username in windows, then i added the windows user in SQL management studio in security, granted "DB Read" and "DB write" and again under the database security tab. still from the web authentication fails. i must be nissing a step or two?
I expect to set up a username for each database as i setup new customers.
