Ok, so I am about to start on my new venture of adding a drop down list of year make and models for customers to select. I am wondering how I should go about setting up the tables in my database. Right now, I have -a Year table that contains YEAR and YEARID(primary) -a Make table that contains MAKE and MAKEID(primary) -a Model table that contains MODEL and MODELID(primary) -a YearMakeModel table that contains YEAR, YEARID(foreign), MAKE, MAKEID(foreign), MODEL, MODELID(foreign), and YEARMAKEMODEL ID(primary).
I am thinking this isn't good DB design...what do you suggest?
I would like to know what Data Feed means while working as an Administrator on Ms SQL Server 2000? Also what do you mean by integrating feed of data? I would appreciate it if anyone could help me out with this queries... Also I was wondering which would be best book to refer while learning about ms sql server 2000.
Hello,I have an XML data feed that I would like to use to create tables inSQL Server. The xml data feed consists of a large amount ofinformation that changes on a regualar basis. Is there a way toautomatically create SQL Server tables using the data feed?ThanksBilly
I need to have an automated process to read data from DB2/AS400 and feed it to SQL Server 2000. Has anyone done this before? Any suggestions how it may be done? I know my company doesn't want to spend a lot to do this.
I need some help determining the best way to accomplish my task. The workflow starts by generating a list of unique ID's from a local table. Then take that list of unique ID's and query an Oracle table for all matching records.
My thought was to first use an Execute SQL task with the following SQL:
select projectid from projectlist group by projectid
with Result Set configured as follows:
Result Name = projectid Variable Name = varProjectIDList
Then in the Data Flow Task add a DataReader Source to pull the matching data. Here's where I'm getting hung up. I'd like to pass the result set from the Execute SQL task. I tried the following SQL but it doesn't work.
select * from masterlist where projectid = @[User::varProjectIDList]
I'm open to any suggestion on the best way to take my unique list and use it as input for a query against my Oracle DB.
I have 1 table that is just a list of feeds. A, B, C, D etc (15 rows in total) and each feed has other information attached to it such as Full name, location etc etc. I am only interested in the Feed column.
Each feed then has a corresponding data table which contains a list of records. Eg Feed A data is contained in TableA, Feed B data is contains in TableB and so on.
Basically what I need is a combined table that shows the list of Feeds in the 1st Column ( So A, B, C, D…..) and then a second column which counts the records from each separate data table corresponding to that feed.
So the end result would look something like this:
Feed------No of Records A----------4 (from TableA) B----------7 (from TableB) C----------8 (from TableC) D----------1 (from TableD)
I'm trying to find a way to import data from this data xml feed to get daily exchange rate. I' tried:
select * from openrowset(bulk 'http://www.bankofcanada.ca/stats/assets/xml/fx-noon.xml',single_blob) as x
Which is a feeble attempt at a start; however, am getting this error message:
Cannot bulk load because the file "http://www.bankofcanada.ca/stats/assets/xml/fx-noon.xml" could not be opened. Operating system error code 123(The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.).
That's how it looks when you click on the results of a small subset of the query. Just what I want. Unfortunately when you try to right click and save it you get
"SSIS 2012 Catalog doesn't have option to give read access to SSIS Catalog to view package run reports" ... Any luck allowing power developers / operators access to READ the SQL 2012 SSIS Execution Reports without granting them SSIS_Admin or Sysadmin?
According to this link posted back in 2011 (w/ Microsoft's feedback in Nov 2011: "We’re closing this issue as “Won’t Fix.” At this point the bug does not meet our bar for resolving prior to SQL Server 2012 RTM. As we approach the SQL Server 2012 release the bar for making code changes gets progressively higher." URL....Regarding Permissions to SSIS Catalog, here are the findings. We can give access in three ways:
1. READ Access – We can provide a user db_datareader access. With this the user can see the objects within the SSIS catalog database, but cannot see the reports.
2. SSIS_ADMIN – Add the user to this database role in SSISDB. With this the user can view the reports. But it also provides them privileges to modify catalog information which is not expected. We can add it using below script EXEC sp_addrolemember 'ssis_admin' , 'REDMONDPAIntelAnalyst'
3. SYSADMIN - Add the user to this server role. This will make the user an admin on the SQL server. This is not intended. Is there any method available which will have provision to give read only access to see SSIS Catalog package execution reports and not having modify Catalog access.
I'm currently working on a BI architecture for a customer, and consider to propose the Power BI data catalog as a data distribution layer. The customer will use Power BI, but also has other BI tools.
Are data sets in the data catalog available to other clients than Power Query alone? E.g. are there OData feed endpoints available? If not, what would be the best way to give other tools access to the data?
I downloaded a copy of sql server and when I run the following query in the sql management studio after choosing new query , DMX I get the above error
CREATE MINING MODEL [NBSample]

Using Microsoft_Naive_Bayes
Also in the pane Mining Model I get the message No mining models found. The only error I get when I installed SQL server was a COM plus registration error. I am running Windows XP SP2. Can someone please help.
In cases when the SSIS package has to be deployed in SQL Server, when we use ProtectionLevel ="server storage" while creating SSIS Catalog, does it use TDE? or Database Standard Encryption? if the database is using TDE?

First off, let me just say that I'm a complete newbie to SQL Reporting Services, and .NET in general. We have a VB 6 application that is trying to launch an SRS 2005 report in a viewer window. This was accomplished by creating A VB.NET "wrapper" window that launches the report, and allows the report to be previewed, exported, etc. I did not write any of this.
The report is using a Shared Data Source, which points to a specific database. My problem is that the users can select which db they want when they launch the VB 6 Application, so I need to find a way to edit the connection string in the report to specify which database to use on the fly. I have the db name in the "wrapper" application, but I can't figure out how to pass it to the report.
I've question about how to handle structural datamodel changes in a datasource of PowerPivot. Suppose I'm developing a starmodel in SQL Server and sometimes a datatype changes or a name of a field changes in a table. It seems to me that PowerPivot handle this not gracefully as Analysis MD does (mostly). I received an error because of a wrong fieldname or even no error when a dattype changes in PowerPivot. Is this common or do I something wrong here. Does this mean that every time the datamodel changes the PowerPivot should be recreated? Or am I missing the clue here?
I am getting ErrorCode 8 while loading the data from stage to model. I have checked my error view it states that "Member Code is Inactive".
Initially I have loaded same set of data in Model from MDS Stage table but then deleted with ImportType = 5 which removed all the data from the MDM model.
Now i want to load it back but its giving the Error Code 8 .. Before loading the same data i have changed the stage table Importtype to 2 and Importstatusid to 0.
I don't know if the question has been nailed down. Aside from deleting tables, can we delete the *content* of data within the tables. It doesn't seem crazy that, if you can pull in data from a feed then you should be able to remove the content out again (without also destroying the user's meta-data work ). Reasons for this include:
- Security (a user may not have rights to see *my* data and should go refresh their own) - Size (workbook doesn't need to have GB's of irrelevant data saved to disk in a workbook if it was just useful during development phase to a pre-production data feed) - Bad data (pre-production data feed is not good data) - User-friendliness (data feed was refreshed 2 years ago and workbook was saved to file server. Users shouldn't be presented with irrelevant data, but should get empty pivot tables until they go do their refresh)
Obviously Excel internally knows how to clear out PowerPivot data, given the prompt shown here: [URL] ....
But how does a user initiate this on their own (corruption aside)?
Previous time this question was asked, without a real resolution: [URL] ....
Hi, Not sure if this is the right board as it could be in the XML one aswell... I'm fairly ok with ASP2.0 and used it to build a database driven website: www.trailandtrack.co.uk however, I want to create an RSS feed of the trails that are on the site. The trails are all in a MSSQL2000 database, and are all keyed on a unique ID which is used to retreive the trail info from the database (using querystrings) I want to create an automatic RSS feed that gets updated automatically from the database whenever new trails are added. Giving the Title as the Trail Name, Link But using the standard URL: http://www.trailandtrack.co.uk/usertrail.aspx?trailid=123 (if you go this this page you'll see the feidl placeholders) Only thing is Ive not got a clue how to go about creating an RSS feed to do this, can anyone help?? (I can do a manual one fine, no probs, but automatically - it's a bit out of my debth) Thanks
I need to develop a language specific dwh, meaning that descriptions of products are available from a SAP system in multiple languages. English is the most important language and that is the standard. But, there are also requirements of countries that wants productdescriptions in their language.
Productnr Productdesc Language 1 product EN 1 produkt DE
One option is to column the descriptions, but that is not very elegantly. I was thinking of using bridge tables to model this but you have to always select a language in a filter (I think)..
I'm thinking of a technical solution, such that when a user logs on, the language is determined and a view determines whether to pick a certain product table specific for a certain language. But then I don't have the opportunity to interchange the different language specific fields in a report (or in my case PowerPivot).
We have our Production server having database on which Few DTS packages execute every night. Most of them have Bulk Insert stored procedures running.
SO we have to set Recovery Model of the database to simple for that period of time, otherwise it will blow up our logs.
Is there any way we can set up log shipping between our production and standby server, but pause it for some time, set recovery model of primary db to simple, execute DTS Bulk Insert Jobs, Bring it Back to Full recovery Model AND finally bring back Log SHipping.
It it possible, if yes how can we achieve this.
If not what could be another DR solution in this scenario.
I have been given the assignment to come up with an Entity Relationship diagram of an existing database. The database wasn't designed by me. I was wondering if there is a standard scientific way of displaying the relationships between the various tables at a functional level on Visio. Since, I didn't design the database in the first place, I don't know how to take a step backward and recreate the ERD from the given database.
I would like to know best way to design the database for the following requirement. I have a collection of tree nodes. each node has a type and set of attributes and a parent node (except for the node which has no parent). node type refers to the level of the node in the tree. child node inherits the attributes from the parent node (similar to object oriented programming where derived class inherits properties of the base class). user can add/update/delete nodes from the tree and user can choose to override the attributes of the parent node in child node. what is best way to store this type of data? should there be a separate table for each node type (level in the tree). but the problem with this approach is that we need to duplicate the columns of the parent node, because user can overwrite the parent node attributes in the child node. there can be more than one at the same level and all of them share same set of attributes. this concept is exactly like inheritance in object oriented programming. as far as the data is concerned, there are around 15 levels, around 30K nodes and 30 attributes spread across different node levels.
This may be a noob question... but I am not able to create a data model and its frustrating me. :)
I made the Data Source... I made the Data Source View (just grabbed a table) and made the report model... but the model is empty >< When it autogenerated the model, it did yell at me about the table not having a primary key... do all the tables have to have primary keys???
