I'm a bit embarrassed about this question, because I'm sure that a lot of you would find it trivial, but I'm really not the best at T-SQL and especially not string handling.
I'm trying to generate a 'parent' value, by replacing characters in the 'child' field with '---'. It's a classic Chart of Accounts sort of problem, for feeding into a Parent/Child dimension in AS. It's a lot easier to understand if you look at this:
That is to say,
0.0.0.---- is the parent of 0.0.0.5001
0.0.-.---- is the parent of 0.0.0.----
0.-.-.---- is the parent of 0.0.-.----
So, what I really need to do is replace the last non '-' string with '-'. I've tried various combos of PATINDEX, CHARINDEX, REPLACE etc, but I'm really struggling. To make in more complicated, and of the strings between the . can be any length.
I have values in a matrix takin too much space. Since they are just used as the matrix column header, cant i trim it or something. To display just the first 3 letters of the the attribute, and not the whole string? Whats the code for that?
=Fields!Collision_Type.Value thats my field right now.
I'm wondering if theres some easy/simple way of getting what would be the connection string if say I was using visual studio? I'm just tired of having to fiddle with a db connection string because i've missed a letter or a comma.
I had a User Management module in my application where I created a user with name
`~!@#$@%^&*()[_]+|}{":?><-=[[]];',./
Now I have a functionality to search for the user existing. For that give the search string or a single character and it finds out all the records containing the character.
How do I go about it as the SP i created for it gives correct results except the following
1. Search for % - Gives all record 2. Search for _ - Gives all records 3. Search for [ - Gives NO record 4. Search for the whole string - Gives NO Record
You get the idea. So logproc just logs that the procedure has started or stopped to a table so we can monitor it easily.
The procedure is then run by an agent job every morning. This morning we had a little bit of an odd one. In the example above we effectively got to 'proc3' being started (as it was logged). However there was then an error of String or binary data would be truncated (severity 16 i believe). However when proc3 was then manually run it worked (the data was unchanged). Then going back proc2 works fine, and its actually proc1 that has the error.
I have looked through the procs in question (and the wrapper) and cant find any error handling that is relevent (there one try and catch block completely separate at the end of the wrapper procedure for a small routine).
There are 2 tables for transaction. The header and tail tables. How do I insert records. if one is updated & another is not ? the sequence for tracking the records will fail. How do I deadlock the table for insert especially when I use stored procedures for 'Inserts'.
I have 2 transactions, the first one has MANY updates to the table A and it finishes with a commit or rollback (ONLY AT THE END), the second one has only one insert into the table A that finishes with a commit or rollback, the problem is that the update process takes a long time to finish, and the insert process could be thrown during the first process, there's where I get everything locked cause the table A is locked and my java aplication gets stuck.
Note: When I execute each transaction independient I have no problems.
Is there any possibility to lock table A completly for the first transaction and release It for second one ??
Could you give me any suggestion of what to do step by step ?
It's been pretty quiet on here recently - no-one experiencing any corruption problems we haven't already given guidance on? Cool...

I have a Orders table, this has a Primary key on one Column ( OrderID )
We are using a Stored Proc to insert data into this table ( I am not starting the Transaction in the stored Proc ) as its controlled by the front end written in C++.
when ever there is a update on this Orders table I move the record to the ordershistory table. ( I have a trigger in the CTOrders table on INSERT and UPDATE )
The C++ App does an Async I/O. Offlate the App is experiencing a few dead locks during the day espicially at the market open and Close as this database is for the Trading System.
I have a SQL Server 2005 system that has been running for about 2 years. This morning nothing will connect. SQL Server Agent will not start. It gives me the message
"The request failed or the Service did not respond in a timely manner. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs."
The error log only states the SQL Server Agent cannot connect to server CANSPEC-TMMCSQLDEV and it is shutting down.
When i try to logon to SQL Server using Management Studio i get the following message:
"A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occured during the pre-logon handshake. Provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe. Microsoft SQL Server Error : 233"
The help for this error states that it could be caused by the fact that SQL Server does not allow remote connections. I have remote connections turned on.
Microsoft products that are doing well tend to have very strong communities around them, and I am starting to get a bit disappointed with SQL-CLR. This forum seems fairly light, the links int he FAQ are broken, and the official SQL-CLR blog has no update since 2006..
Taking all of that into account I am forced to wonder, Is this a dead subject?
I am not trying to say that the people in this forum are doing something wrong, nor am i claiming that no one uses SQL-CLR (i am a user, thats why im here). But I did want to get the opinion of the group here of where they think this concept stands.
I think SQL-CLR can really be a good tool in the chest for various scenarios. I am for one using it to have a generic SQL-CLR Stored Procedure that can analyze small sets of data and move it into various buckets depending on validation rules built into the code. So far its working very well, but I admit it has not yet hit production so only time will tell. (Performance is always a concern of mine)
Hi There, I was updating a Custome Error Log table in different Data Flow Task in a Package. Custom log table is being used to log the Redirect Rows which sent by a component if it has errors. So I am catching the error raised by componets and putting them all into one table. I thing this could be the cause for the following error. I am not sure Please help me out. What could be the cause of this error and how to prevent it?

SQL Server Details:
SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition 32bit Service Pack4
Network Details:
Clients can access the server by Terminal Server and also by Direct Connectivity. The connectivity is provided by RF network Provider.
Application Details:
Application was designed by Power Builder 6.5.
Error Details: If I divide my clients connectivity to the server then it is divided into 3 types
TYPE A >> Users inside my LAN using a DNS server they give the server name in their Parameter file to connect to the Database Server.
TYPE B >> Users who are in WAN connect to the server by Terminal Servers for Data Input. Terminal Servers are inside my LAN.
TYPE C >> Users who are in WAN connect to the Server by Direct Connection for Reports and Print Out they give the IP address of the Database server directly in their Parameter files.
After every 6 to 7 days the ERROR DB Processes Dead comes to the TYPE C. The error Numbers are 100025 and 100005.
At the same time TYPE A AND TYPE B are not getting any errors.
For further diagnosis I have taken a client machine to Net Meeting and taken his desktop in control. I have connected the client machine to the database server by ISQL in command prompt.
From Backend I can see that the SQL server has allocated a SPID to the client machine. After I have executed
1>SELECT * FROM SYSDATABASES 2>GO
It will return me all data but it will not show me how many rows selected or EOF.
After some time it will give me the prompt (3>) but without EOF and after that if I give another query then it will give the below error
DB-Library: Attempt to initiate a new SQL Server Operation with results pending.
DB-Library: Unexpected EOF from SQL Server. General Network Error. Check Your Documentation. Net-Library error 10054: ConnectionCheckForData (CheckForData()) DB-Library: DBPROCESSES is dead or not enabled. DB-Library: DBPROCESSES is dead or not enabled. DB-Library: DBPROCESSES is dead or not enabled. DB-Library: DBPROCESSES is dead or not enabled.
At the same time if I give IP address of another server then it works and TYPE A and TYPE B don€™t get any problem.
To stop this error I have to restart the server after that for again seven days it works and again the same problem.
I cant find anything I have checked tempdb, cache size but it is normal no abnormal activities.
I am build an application based on different WCF services which colect different type of data from an SQL database. I can have up to 10 clients whcih could at a certain times collect the same data as a read or right operation. I have run a test where I have only 2 clients, and I have been surprise to receive a nice error of dead lock process.
The error is as follow :
Transaction (Process ID 63) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction."
In the store procedure which I am suspected, not sure yet, I have been advise to use the
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE; but no help
According to what I could notice in my application, I have one process which insert rows in this table, while clients read the same table..but I guess dead lock need to investigate in a more better way and handle it anyway...
I am not a databse administrator so I have no idea how to handle such situation.
Please help me to remove deadlock. Server Error in '/' Application.

I'm having a transactional replication which replicates data every 1min.... and i got a job which runs every 15mins and pulls the reports from source db which is being replicated.
Some times when the replication is pushing the data the same time the job is trying to generate reports and as the table is being locked at the time of replication the dead lock issue is rinsing and the job is getting failed.
We are running application on Ms SQL Server connecting to PowerBuilder 7.0.3, using MSS Microsoft SQL Server 6.X driver. We have recently migrated the SQL Server from 2000 to 2005 SP2, in which databases are still at compatability level 80. The application runs perfectly for one week, but later we received some occassional reports from users that database connection breaks after a
certain idle period. Below are the errors, usually error 1 appears before error 2.
Error 1 A database error has occured. Database error code: 10025 Database error message: Select error: Possible network error: Write to SQL Server Failed. General network error. Check your documentation.
Error 2 A database error has occured. Database error code: 10005 Database error message: Select error: DBPROCESS is dead or not enabled.
We couldn't find any related errors in the SQL Server log. Does anyone has the idea of what's wrong or how to trace the connection brokerage?
I set up a table, job and alert as described in this article on msdn: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186385.aspx
The alert is working fine but the job is failing with the following info: Message Unable to start execution of step 1 (reason: Variable WMI(TextData) not found). The step failed.
The info does seem to be posted in the log which is not where I wanted it. Anyone have any ideas what I have not got set up correctly? I have the trace on and works since the info goes to the log, but I would like it in the database not in the log.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Any help is sincerely appreciated:I have data in a table that represents the following:Admin Visit Type Registration Date Discharge Date D 20050301 20050301D 20050301 20050301W 20050301 20050301E 20050301 20050301D 20050301 20050302W 20050301 20050303W 20050301 20050311D 20050301 20050301Patient Type is always and I for the records I want but there are also Patient Types = O which I don't care about..What I would like to do is accoumlate a counter on the number of Registrations per date as well as Discharges per date.There can be thousands of registrations per day as well as thousands of discharges per day. So lets say I want to pass a date parameter to accumulate the total registrations and discharges per day. I have beat my head against the desk for the last two days because I believe this is a simple query but I just cannot get the results I want - so any help is greatly appreciated. I have written the following sql but I do not get a sum of the total registrations and discharges and EXPR3 and Expr4 always equal each other which is not the case . For example on 20040301 I have 88 registrations and 17 discharges but I can't ever get the correct totals...I wrote the following in Query Analyzer - but it does not work and I have went around in circles and have tried so many things I am just frustrated.........Declare @Parm_Beg_Date as nvarchar(8)Set @Parm_Beg_Date = 20040313 SELECT Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Admin_Visit_Type,Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Patient_Type, Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Registration_Date,Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Discharge_Date, Count(Distinct(Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Registration_Date)) as Expr3,Count(Distinct(Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Discharge_Date)) as Expr4 FROM Patient_Visit_Result_Master INNER JOINPatient_Visit_Result_Master Patient_Visit_Result_Master_1 ON Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Hospital_ID = Patient_Visit_Result_Master_1.PVR_Hospital_ID AND @Parm_Beg_Date = Cast(Patient_Visit_Result_Master_1.PVR_Registration_Date as nvarchar(8))or@Parm_Beg_Date = Cast(Patient_Visit_Result_Master_1.PVR_Discharge_Date as nvarchar(8)) WHERE (Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Admin_Visit_Type = 'E') AND (Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Patient_Type = 'I') AND (Cast(Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Registration_Date as nvarchar(8)) = @Parm_Beg_Date) OR (Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Admin_Visit_Type = 'D') AND (Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Patient_Type = 'I') AND (Cast(Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Registration_Date as nvarchar(8)) = @Parm_Beg_Date) Or (Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Admin_Visit_Type = 'W') AND (Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Patient_Type = 'I') and (Cast(Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Discharge_Date as nvarchar(8)) = @Parm_Beg_Date) Or (Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Admin_Visit_Type = 'D') AND (Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Patient_Type = 'I') and (Cast(Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Discharge_Date as nvarchar(8)) = @Parm_Beg_Date) GROUP BY Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Admin_Visit_Type,Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Patient_Type, Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Registration_Date,Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Discharge_Date Order By Patient_Visit_Result_Master.PVR_Admin_Visit_TypeThanks in advance
Our web forms have suddenly become dead slow.We use these forms to update certain tables.Both web serever and db servers are on different boxes. Db server seems to be working fine with no blocking and all other scheduled jobs are running in time on the db server.So what could be the reason??We even increased the default time out for these web forms but still getting the slow response or some times time out again.

What if a Publication and Distribution server machine fail to work. Do I need to reinitiliaze the whole snapshot on a new machine and retransmit the data to the subscriber. Or can I make use of replication script to recreate the publication and distribution and then replicate to existing subscriber using same machine name?
What is actually happening when a conversation timer is being used in terms of the dialog_timer column in sys.conversationendpoints? For example, I was using the following query to tell me which conversation timers are currently running:
SELECT * FROM sys.conversation_endpoints
WHERE dialog_timer > '1900-01-01 00:00:00.000'
However, I have noticed that periodically the dialog_timer value goes back to '1900-01-01 00:00:00.000' and the query fails, starting up another timer. Then, the original timer magically appears again, working just fine. So, I changed to this query:
SELECT * FROM sys.conversation_endpoints
WHERE far_service
IN
(
'TimerService1',
'TimerService2',
'TimerService3',
)
But this seems like the long way around and doesn't really indicate that the timer is running or not, just that its present in the sys.conversationendpoints catalog view. What is the proper way to see if timers are running? If one dies for some reason, I need to restart it.
Greetings Attempting to upgrade standard edition to enterprise.
Tried running setup with the SKUUPGRADE switch per the documentation. Kept getting a modal message box that I had to use Control Panel to upgrade components. Searched Google & MSDN tried everything I found, no luck.
No problem, I'll backup, remove standard, and install enterprise.
Removed standard via control panel.
Ran Enterprise setup. On the setup screen everything is greyed out (e.g. disabled) except workstation components.
Install the workstation components, run it again, everything greyed out except workstation. Select again, says I have nothing to install.
Uninstalled via control panel.
Deleted the SQL Server directory from Program Files Deleted all the files in WindowsTemp Deleted every registry key with the words MicrosoftSQLServer in it.
Run install, everything greyed out except Workstation Components.
Okay I give up... Not sure what else to do except reformat the (#*$(@*&$(# computer which will take hours.
Dear all, I face a problem about linking the SQL express database. Originally, I work with my desktop at home. However, I need to take it outside with my laptop. Once I copy whole project to my laptop and use Visual Studio 2008 again to develop. The following message appear when I run some pages that need to connect the database: "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file E:d drivedocAssignmentProgramming ProjectProgrammingSourceApp_DataASPNETDB.MDF failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share. " How can I solve this problem? I think it is an absoultue address and logical address problem. Thanks a lot. Regards, Eric Chan
