Hey all,
prolly a simple solution, but why isn't the following string working in
my execute sql step within DTS? It produces results, just not the ones
I want... What am I doing wrong?
select x from new_files where x like '%[^0-9]%' and x like '%[^a-z]%'
It's displaying all the records? It should only be displaying those
records that do *not* contain letters or numbers.
Thanks in advance!

I am using a filter in a matrix control. I would like to display a "No data" type message if no data is present. The problem I'm running into is the base query is returning data, but the optional filter is removing all rows from display.
So using CountRows in the base dataset doesn't quite cut it. Is there an alternative?
Hello,
I connect from SQL Server on Windows 2000 to Progress
Database on UNIX.
The database name of SQL Server is cstarsql and the
name is cstarint on UNIX.
I would like to schedule to copy data from
cstarint(Progress) to cstarsql(SQLServer). I did for
one time, but I want to control if the data has
already copied or not. If not, it will copy.
In DTS Query Builder to copy from Progress to SQL
Server,
SELECT * from calls WHERE call_date = TODAY
The name of table of calls is the same for both
database.The above calls is cstarint(Progress
Database)
This command is enough for one time. But I need to
control if the record has already copied.
In SQL Server, I control if the record is available or
not with @@FETCH_STATUS .
Now I would like to mix two queries, but I couldn't.
Can anybody do this?
DECLARE calls_cursor SCROLL CURSOR
FOR SELECT * FROM calls
WHERE call_date = TODAY
OPEN calls_cursor
-- Perform the first fetch.
FETCH NEXT FROM calls_cursor
-- Check @@FETCH_STATUS to see if there are any more
rows to fetch.
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
-- This is executed as long as the previous fetch
succeeds.
FETCH NEXT FROM calls_cursor
END
CLOSE calls_cursor
DEALLOCATE calls_cursor

I'm trying to resolve an issue that I've run into in my current system.
I have about 10 clients accessing a SQL Server several times per minute (every 10-20 seconds). To have an individual find the next record, I follow the following process:
1. Select the value of the next record in the database to be checked out.
2. Update the record to show that it is checked out to the user.
3. Select the data in the record to display to the user.
3. Update the record to show any changes and to check the record back in after the user edits it.
My issue is that clients can execute at the same time. Right now, with just SQL statements, two clients can get the same value in step #1. That makes them select the same record for editing. Can I use T-SQL to prevent this from happening? If I use a transaction, will the SQL Server 2005 queue up the transactions, or could I still get the same problem of opening up the same record?
Thanks!

Hello,
I am trying to use €œSQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio€? (what is the short name for this) to complete a check and then possibly email me depending on what happens.
The check is around two tables that I have. There is a chance that they will become out of sync with each other and so I want to know when a field (ACCOUNTID) has a value that is in one table and not the other. I can do the check but I would like the package to email me when there is a problem (and if possible email me the details) and do nothing when everything is OK.
Can anybody give me some hints to point me in the correct direction as I just seem to be chasing my tail at the moment,
Thanks,

Hi All,Can anyone help with the following problem? I have a database whichcontains a table with a 'text' field, and the text field contains anxml document - typically 50-100K. Now I'd like to make use of SQLServer 2005s XMLData type. To do this I have created a new field ofthe 'xmldata' datatype, and run an SQL statement to update the contentsfrom one field to another - hoping to end up with a complete table ofxml (based on the old text field).The problem I have is after a minute or so, it must come across anbadly-formed xml fragment because I get the following message:Msg 9436, Level 16, State 1, Line 1XML parsing: line 1, character 67640, end tag does not match start tagCan I turn off the checking during the update, or is it not possible toadd badly formed data to the xmldata field. Any help appreciated asthe table runs into tens of thousands of rows, so I can't really checkthe contents of each!Many thanks,Duncan.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to do something with error checking in my company. For this we have a selection of different tables and the data needs to meet various validation rules else it is classed as an error.
To deal with this I'm currently thinking of this approach:
1. Create a view pulling all of the various data together from the multiple tables.
2. Create an empty 'errors' data table.
3. Create an Excel file with a button to call a Check for Errors Script
Then in the the script:
1. Clear the 'errors' data table
2. Call multiple scripts, each of which uses the new view, applies the checks for that specific error and writes any erroring data into the 'errors' data table (along with a text string with the unique error code for filtering / sorting purposes).
3. After calling all the scripts, the table can be refreshed in excel when when used with a pivot table can show the various errors, and let us drill down into all the data so we can fix them.
Also.. Ideally, I'd like some way to write comments in an excel column for each entry and error code and be able to write that back into a comment table.
Hi,
I want to assign a list columns to be the PK on a table. I don't know what this list of columns would be.How do I go about figuring that?
Sample Data
Col1...Col2...Col3..Col4
1...........2.......A......X
1...........2........B.....X
1...........2.......A......Y
As you can see Col1 & Col2 ONLY do not make up the PK. I need to include Col3 as well. My concern is I am not sure if I have a row like..
1...........2.......A......X reapeated lower down the order. So how do I figure the PK out?
Thanks
Can someone show me some C# code for detecting if a SQL row exists or not? This seems like a very typical action and I cannot for the life of me find a tutorial online that explains this step. In my code I'm either going to INSERT or UPDATE a record. I tried sending a SELECT command through a ExecuteNonQuery, but only got -1 as a response. Apparently ExecuteNonQuery does not work with SELECT. I then saw that T-SQL has an EXISTS keyword, but I cannot see anyway to use that from within C#.So...can anyone share the typical code they use to identify if a row exists or not within a database. I guess I was execting there to be some method available to do this sort of thing.

Good morning everyone I am writing a windows forms application that will work similar to the windows messenger popup.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've forgotten the character set that I've chosen when I was installing the SQL Server 7. Is there a way to check?
I'm currently using US English version of Windows NT4 and SQL7. But interestingly, all the data is in Japanes characters. It's actually for a Japanese website, and the front-end application is written in ASP. I remember reading somewhere that it is impossible to do certain type of sorting (by some particular order for the Japanese language) as it is limited by the choice of the language of the NT OS.
The type of sorting that I'm looking at is the grouping of 5-characters. One example is in http://www.forest.impress.co.jp/aiueo.html
Would this be possible with my current setup? Or would it help if I migrate over to Windows 2000? (I'd rather not move to Japanese NT4)
Your feedback and advice would be very much appreciated!
Hi,
Just a brief question. I have a script which does a number of insert statements. What I would like to do is determine if the insert statements were all successful. Aside from checking @@ERROR after every insert, is there a way to check if all the insert statements completed successfully?
Thanks,

I want to do a check to see if a number falls within a range specified by the user. Basically, they enter in a min and max value and I return a hit if a number falls inbetween.
I have having trouble with my SQL statement:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT *
FROM Table
WHERE ( (0=0)
AND
(min.value <= Table.Value <= max.value) )
(This isn't my actual code, but just the logic)
It will return all the results everytime. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could be missing here?
Thanks in advance!
I have a question I hope someone can help me with.
My situation:
I have a single-step job in SQL Server, which runs a stored procedure, A. This stored procedure invokes another stored procedure, B. In B, one of the statements is a 'BACKUP DATABASE' command, and a database is backed up to a file.
The job is started by an application. Once started, the application then uses the SQL-DMO property CurrentRunStatus to periodically check the status of the job. When the property returns the value SQLDMOJobExecution_Idle (indicating the job has completed), the application code then continues processing, and attempts to access the .dat file produced by the 'BACKUP DATABASE' command.
My problem:
On occasion, the application will hit the problem where either the backup file cannot be located, or the file is still being locked by another process (Error=The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process).
Is anyone able to shed some light on this?
I assume that the job will only return a completed status after:
(a) both A and B have completed execution, and
(b) the BACKUP operation has completed
Is it possible that even though SQL Server indicates the job has finished, that the BACKUP operation still hasn't completely ended?
Thanks for any help,
Andrew

Our System currently has on the upwards of 300 stored procedures in it.
We have SP's that call SP's that call SP's and sometimes a Stored Procedure will return 10 ResultSets which are used by .NET.
Some of our developers do not check other stored procedures when they modify the SP parameters, and in doing so break the system until the testers find it.
is there a way to run a command to check ALL the stored procedures to see if they work, they match the SP they're calling, etc?
Situation:Day 1Table contains 100 items of actions imported via FTP.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSQL Server allows for a user to have SELECT permission on a View withoutthat user requiring an associated SELECT permission on the underlying tablethat the VIEW accesses, but the user can still access the data through theView. A similar arrangement holds true for stored procedures.So based on these initial known behaviours, I have a couple of questions:1. If a stored procedure A executes stored procedure B, does the user of Arequire execute permission for B also? Or will access to B be permittedregardless because the user was given access to A?2. Similarly, if a stored procedure A accesses a View, does the user of Arequire permissions on the referenced View?I guess to paraphrase what I am trying to determine is whether SQL Serveronly checks permissions at the "entry" point of a particular function, orwhether permission checks are performed "intra-function". My openingexamples imply they are only checked "on entry", but I am wondering if thisbehaviour is entirely consistent. Perhaps the SQL Standard mandates this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have built a procedure to send mail using OLE Automation and want to be able to trap error information when it doesn't work. So in an attempt to do that I have the following stored procedure that will return informaiton if the return value is <> 0. Here is how it is being used:
IF @return <> 0
BEGIN
EXECUTE sp_displayoaerrorinfo @handle, @return
END
ELSE
PRINT 'Success'
This works fine, but I would like to write the error message to a table and so I thought I could just alter to to be:
IF @return <> 0
BEGIN
EXECUTE sp_displayoaerrorinfo @handle, @return = @failure
END
ELSE
PRINT 'Success'
Where @failure is a variable I declared earlier. Then I could insert the value of this variable along with some other infomration into a table that would track the errors. However, when I do this I receive the following:
Error: Procedure or Function 'sp_DisplayOAErrorInfo' expects parameter '@HResult', which was not supplied. Number:201 Severity:16 State:4
So it isn't seeing that I am passing two variables into the stored procedure. I know I must be missing something simple but I've tried a bunch of different itterations and can't seem to get it right. Any help would be great. Thanks.
