Other than the error log is there an easy way to find the sort order and
chracter set of an installed SQL Server. Also after finding the numbers
is there a good reference to tell you what these numbers mean.
Thanks
Is there a query you can run against a 7.0 server to return the chracter set and sort order.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi There i have two windows 2000 servers which are both running SQL and i would like to restore a backup from one server to the other. Which in my opinion should be an easy task but when i go into the restore option and point it at the file i would like to restore i get the follwoing error
"The database you are attempting to restore was backed up under a different sort order ID (52) than the one you are currently using on this server (50) and at least one of them is a non binary sort order. Backup or restore operation operation terminating abnormally."
The server that i am trying to restore to already has databases on this so i cannot just reinstall SQL and change the sort order not that id know how to do that but this is what i have read.
Is htere anyway that i can put insome script for the database to fix this ???
Im using Enterprise manager with SQL server 7
Thanks in advance
Hello all-
Maybe someone has some insight on this... I currently have some hash values (SHA512 through Enterprise Library) that I'm trying to compare to data in our database. When I sort the values on the pipeline (DT_STR, 1252) with a Sort and compare them against values coming out of an OLE DB Source (SQL_Latin_1_General_CP1_CI_AS) with a Merge Join, any hash that has a '/' in it is treated as inequal to the one in the database.
For even more fun, when I change the sort/merge join to a Lookup, everything (seems) to check out. Is the 1252 code page not the same as SQL_Latin_1_General_CP1_CI_AS? Any other reasons this might be happening?
Cheers,

Hi,
Just wanted to check. I've got a SQL 7.0 box on NT4 with about 40 databases (each about 500Mb-1Gb) which I want to move to SQL2000.
The main problem is, the 7.0 box was built with a sort order not officially supported by the finance software that uses the databases, so I want to build the SQL2000 box with the default sort orders and character sets.
I've done this in a test environment by copying the .mdf files accross and attaching them to the SQL2000 box, and this all seems to work. But is this advisable, and will there be any problems?
Thanks for the help!!
Hi,
I am developing database support for my application and I am using EDB. I would like to use sort orders to make the code easier but I was wondering if sort orders generate index tables. I mean, do they only sort the records during addition or they also generate index tables to speed up queries. In other words, do they make the database file bigger?
In the MSDN documentation I can not find anything on this.
Thanks,
Giulio
Supposing I have a sort order/char set installed and some databases working under these circumstances.Is there any way to change order and sets without losing my old databases? If I try to rebuild databases, I lose them,and when i try to restore them, there's a conflict between the new SQL Server 6.5 configuration and the Databases previously created in old sort order/char sets?Is there any solution to this,or once I have chosen the database configurations,I'll have to either recreate the data or die with them??? Neede answers ASAP....
Thanks for your attention, Luciano
Hi Forum,
I'm using several sort components in my dataflow task (for all now saying uuhh, in normal flow they are all not used, only in lookup failures). I know that the sort component is more than slow and deprecated.
So when I find some rows with a foreign key not yet in my dimTable, I throw them in another branch and sort them / aggregate them for insertion. After that, I wanna lookup again. So I have to wait for all inserts to complete. So I use the sort component, which has to wait for all rows, and sort for my business key. All rows inserted and sorted I lookup again.
This scenario worked for me in a lot of packages with a lot of rows. So why do I post :-)
I now hav another package. As of processing the stream, 1796 rows go to the sort component an wanna be sorted. But nothing happens. Processor goes idle for 0-5% for debugHost. HDD does some reading and writing but nothing really big. TempFiles for sorting are not getting refreshed. Memory Usage is 1.6GB (/3GB is set in boot.ini). No Error Message at all. And this state is for hours an hours.
Any hint why the package is going into that state?
Thanks Thorsten
I was wondering if there is an easy way to get a database schema out of a MS SQL 7 database indicating specs on each field (datatype,length,table it resides in, whether it allows nulls, default values, primary keys, foreign keys, etc.)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set sorting up on a DataGrid in ASP.NET 2.0. I have it working so that when you click on the column header, it sorts by that column, what I would like to do is set it up so that when you click the column header again it sorts on that field again, but in the opposite direction. I have it working using the following code in the stored procedure: CASE WHEN @SortColumn = 'Field1' AND @SortOrder = 'DESC' THEN Convert(sql_variant, FileName) end DESC,
case when @SortColumn = 'Field1' AND @SortOrder = 'ASC' then Convert(sql_variant, FileName) end ASC,

when @SortColumn = 'VersionNotes' then VersionNotes

View 9 Replies View RelatedHi all,
After installing SP2 for SQL2005, My boss has found new reports when looking for database information. Specifically, the new Reports option when right clicking on a database.
To better streamline our dbs he found a pair of Index reports that he does not know what to do with.
Can anyone help us understand the time length for the numbers shown under #User Seeks, #User Scans, #User Updates, Last User Seek Time, Last User Scan Time, etc..?
We are unsure if these are daily, or from the last backup, or for uptime since last restart, or collected from the inception of the database.
Any help would be good and very much appreciated as I am VERY new to this and would like to show that I can find information when asked.
I use SQLServer 2008 R2 Standard Edition.I know there are some triggers in my database that someone else has created, but I can't find their names and also I want to know the definitions of the triggers, if I want to alter or recreate them.

Does anybody know where to find out the definition of all the SQL error code
For example, What does error code 4002 means ? What does error code 3146 means ? Thanks.
Where can i find more information on the table definitions? I am trying to understand the definition of User.AuthType & User.UserType. There should be some sort of documentation somewhere.
When I add a user to a report or folder it will assign it to UserType = 1, AuthType = 3. I have no idea what that means.
Any ideas?
Hi All,
In SQL Server 7, we had the option of opening a previously saved trace template and running it inorder to run a previously saved trace defintion repeatedly.
File > Open > Trace Definition
and choosing the Trace Name. Clicking OK would run the trace.
How do we do the same in SQL Server 2000?
File > Open > Trace Template
opens a Trace template but has only a 'Save' button and I'm therefore unable to run it.
How is it possible to run a previously defined trace repeatedly in SQL server 2000?
Thanks in advance,

HiThis is a question of "what does it cost me".Lets say I have an integer value which would fit into a smallint fieldbut the field is actually defined as int or even larger as bigint.What would that "cost" me ? How would definitions larger than I need forthe values in the field affect me ?Its obvious that the volume of the database would grow but with the sizeof resources etc that we have nowadays disc space isn't a problem likeit used to be and i/o is much faster and many people would tell me "whocares" , or IS it a problem ?How does it affect performance of data retrieves ? Searches ? Updatesand inserts ? How would it affect all db access if tables are pointingat each other with foreign keys ?Thanks !David Greenberg
View 3 Replies View RelatedLet me explain in simplified terms. We have an ETL process:
1) download data from the iSeries table Cust into SQL table Cust.
2) Tran_Cust is a view created FROM Cust
3) Copy from view Tran_Cust to table ods_Cust
4) v_ods_Cust is a view created from ods_Cust
I want to look for inconsistencies in the column definitions as a column moves from iSeries Cust, SQL Cust, view Tran_Cust, ods_Cust, view v_ods_Cust. The columns generally keep the same names except for v_ods_cust. Here a column like CustName will be created with a more meaningful column name - "CustName as 'Customer Name'.
We have hundreds of tables and we have column definition inconsistences where the host changed their column defintion and we made no changes on the SQL side. Or someone made a SQL column change in one table, but not both tables and the views were not dropped and recreated.
I have the list of tables. Think that I can put together some tsql to loop through the list of tables and create a new table based on the iSeries definition, then compare columns defintion across all the tables and views - except for the v_ods. THis is where columns are given new names - such as "CustName as 'Customer Name'". Need the actual view definition to find that CustName is 'Customer Name' and then compare the definition of ods_Cust.CustName to v_ods_Cust.[Customer Name]
How can I find the view definiton of say v_ods_Cust, seperate out the source column names (CustName) and destination column names (Customer Name) so that I can compare the source column names to another table and fine the differences?
My problem is this: How do I dynamically generate a Report Model Definition with c#?
Is there some sort of method I could call from the ReportingService2005 web service? Or some sort of APIs I could use?
If I didn't have a dynamic database structure, I would just create a Report Model Definition with BIS and then deploy the same model to each customer. However, our product creates additional tables in the database, depending on what data users wish to collect.
There are currently 2 solutions for this problem. First, I can manually create a Report Model Definition through the Buisness Intelligence Studio (BIS). However, I wish to be able to dynamically generate the report model without having to go through BIS. Second, I could use C# and manually write the XML of the SMDL. However this seems problematic.
I'm really hoping for some MS API that I'm missing out on here. Thanks for the help.

I am currently investigating the best way to handle partition swapping where the partition scheme is built on several file groups. In order to swap partitions, both partitions need to be on the same file group. In addition, the file groups and partitions are automatically updated once a month meaning that there is a scheduled job that adds a new file group, file group files, and updates the related partition objects.If I am forced to create a new non-partition table on the same file group as the partition of the target table, what would be the best way to create the target table without hard coding the full table definition and clustered index? I know that I can query the systables and syscolumns views to reconstruct a basic SQL statement to build the table definition and views Is there a SQL Server function that I can use to just give me the object definitions? Unfortunately, the OBJECT_ DEFINITION function doesn't apply to tables or indexes. URL....

Hi,
Is there a way of uploading column definitions from the Flat File Connection Manager into a SQL Server table definition. Since I have over a dozen data sources to process each with around 200 columns and of course like many BI techies I have little immediate influence over the structure of these flat files. I just know that these data sources are business critical.
Judging by looking at similar threads I can't be the only one who would greatly benefit from being able to upload column definitions from the Flat File Connection Manager into a SQL Server table definition as opposed to doing this manually.
Thanks in advance,
Kieran.

Am new with SQL server and i use SQL Server 2005

I tried using the top predicate/ clause with a group by & count but unfortunately am getting no where.
Please kindly help
I have a pretty straight forward fact table that contains order information like this:
DateTimeStamp Price OrderID
I have a measure that does a simple row count for orders placed. How can I get the Max Orders Placed grouped by Hour? Something similar to this:
0:00 15
1:00 25
2:00 50
.....
23:00 75
I tried to do a max function like max([time].[hour], [measures].[Order Row Count]) but ended up with only one value. I know I'm doing it wrong.
I appreciate any help on this.

I'm suppose to List all orders where there is no shippedDate (just give their orderNumbers).
I have this:
select orderNumber from orders where shippedDate= null;

I am trying to Invoice all of the records in my 'Orders' table. After each of the records has been invoiced I would like SQL to flag that record as having been completed so that when I run my query the next day it will ignore those having been completed already.

This is the query I wrote to invoice one Order at a time by specifying each Order_Num seperately. As you can tell...I'm a n00b. Thanks all.
select convert(varchar, getdate(), 107) as Date
select order_num as 'Invoice No.' from orders
where order_num = '20009'
select c.cust_name as Customer, c.cust_address as 'Street Address',
c.cust_city as City, c.cust_state as State, c.cust_zip as 'Zip Code'
from customers as c, orders as o

from orderitems as oi, products as p
where oi.prod_id = p.prod_id and order_num = '20009'
order by oi.order_item
