I have a database of over 200 tables. I want to delete data in about 100 tables. It's hard for me to delete because there are so many dependencies. I wind up tracing each table until I find the end and then deleting backwards. Is there a script I can run where I can get a textual view of which tables are related to which tables (foreign key constraints). I don't want to hit 'display dependencies' on each table. I know I can look at logical diagram but with a database of over 200 tables, it is hard to look at it.
I got assignment, how to make it appear in the right order .
/* DROP TABLE EMP SELECT * INTO Emp FROM ( SELECT 'A' EmpID, NULL ManID, 'Name' EmpName UNION ALL SELECT 'MAC' EmpID, 'A' ManID, 'Name__' EmpName UNION ALL SELECT '1ABA' EmpID, 'MAC' ManID, 'Name____' EmpName UNION ALL SELECT 'ABB' EmpID, '1ABA' ManID, 'Name______' EmpName UNION ALL SELECT 'XB' EmpID, 'A' ManID, 'Name__' EmpName UNION ALL SELECT 'BAC' EmpID, 'XB' ManID, 'Name____' EmpName ) b */
Hi, How can I convert a text file (.txt) into SQL in ASP.net 2.0 ? The sample of the file format is like that ... 09/03/2007 08:41 "Fung, Kitty" Granted Access D1 Main 2354 111 09/03/2007 08:42 "Ng, Jaclyn" Granted Access D1 Main 21906 18 09/03/2007 08:42 "Leung, Agnes" Granted Access D1 Main 21920 18 Cheers
I have the following Query which gives the output in XML format. select * from <Table_Name> For XML auto I wanted to store this output in a .Xml file at my local machine. I would prefer to have a proc when called generates the xml and stores it on the local m/c. Any ideas ? Thanks,
We are using an old version of Numara TrackIT for our helpdesk software, and it doesn't have much in the way of configurable options. There is no way to set validation or formatting on the text fields in the program.
There is a field, WO_TEXT1, Which I would like to be formatted as 6 characters, 3 integers + a period + 2 integers. The first the integers would be padded with zeros on the left, and the last 2 integers would be padded with zeros on the right.
IE, if someone enters 2, it would actually end up being 002.00 If someone enters 3.5 it would end up being 003.50 If someone enters 12.1 it would end up being 012.10 If someone enters 172.80 it would end up being 172.80
I was hoping to achieve this via an update trigger.
Below is the guts of the trigger I created, mostly as a proof of concept.
-- This update properly formats the Estimated Hours field Update t SET WO_TEXT1 = (SELECT RIGHT('000000' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), WO_TEXT1), 6) FROM inserted) FROM dbo.TASKS as t Where (EXISTS (SELECT * FROM inserted WHERE WOID = 24773));
I expected that this update trigger would only affect the Work Order with a WOID of 24773. Unfortunately, it updated all 21000 work orders in our system, wiping out all of the actual estimated hours that had been inserted by technicians!
Luckily I had a report that I could quick dump the 300 or so active work order's estimated hours back into the DB from (all the other Work orders are closed, and no one really cares about their estimated hours).
My question is three fold,
1) Why did my trigger update every record in the tasks table instead of just WO 24773? 2) Is using a trigger the best way of accomplishing what I'm trying to do? 3) if a trigger is the best way of accomplishing this, what should my trigger look like?
Hello. I am in the process of migrating an old app to SQL Server. The old app reads hundreds of different flat file formats. One of the more complex ones is a multi-format delimited file. For example:
01^Bob Johnson^123 Main St^Anytown^St 02^Book1^$20 02^Book2^$30 03^Gift Cert^Happy Birthday^$100
This file is delimited with the ^ character. Note that the first 2 characters identify the row type. All 01 rows have data in the format: Name, Street Address, City, State. All 02 have data in the format: Book name, price. Etc.
Any clever ideas on how to parse this? I tried setting it up as a flat file source with the ^ delimiter. It doesn't work - in this example it wraps the third row to the end of the second row and keeps adding columns to fill out the row.
The only option that I can think of is to pull the entire row into one long column, and then use a script component to manually substring each column out.
If I tries to extract data as Delimited the columns are not containing the same data for each row as there are some wired characters in the "Description" filed.
How can I extract this data as proper csv file? If not is there a way to extract only ther first line in detail row as shown below
How can I get this exported as it is to the .txt file?
Currently I have acheived this with SSIS, where I have kept the header template, footer template in my folder. The SSIS generates the .txt file and then I use the execute process transformation to merge the files and data. I am getting the exact o/p as I want. But in this I am intorducing lot of IO in the package by every time creating a new header for the data to be replaced as todays date and the period to be replaced by the user selected Report Period.
How can this be achived using SSRS? Is any custome code required? Thanks in advacne for your help.
I've got a field I'm trying to convert into a date format as it currently sits as a text field. The date setup is of the format DD/MM/YYYY. Some of the fields are NULL, however for the sake of filling in gaps I've just set the nulls to '01-01-1905'.
I've tried to use CAST to change the data into a readable format for SQL Server however I tend to get one of two messages:
Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
We have migrated a CRM Database from SQLServer 2000 to SQLServer 2005.
Database contains very sensitive data about customer in text format (Datatype varchar(20)) how can i encrypt the same without any change in the table design.
I need to search a nvarchar field based on the format of the text. This field holds values in two formats: 000 000 000 000 and 000000. I only want to search through the records that are in the 000 000 000 000 format. Can anyone give me direction on how to go about doing this or give me some key words to search for on Google? Fixing this problem is not an option. This is a county tax DB from a poor county with almost a million records in it. Thanks for the help!
I want the users of my site to be able to write a couple of paragraphs, save it to SQL Server and then have it read back and look the same. I don't want the users to be able to add any html to the text they submit. I just want them to be able to seperate or indent their paragraphs.
At one point, I had a textbox that saved text to the server and read it back the same way it was originally inputed. However, I can't figure our what I had done to make it work.
We are using the bcp utility (via APIs) to export data from a SQL tablein a fixed format text file. BCP is inserting spaces for a field ifthe field contains a NULL. This is fine with us except at the end ofthe line, there are no spaces for that field just the end-of-rowterminator prematurely, so it looks like that field is not present andmesses up another piece of software we pump the text file into downstream.Example -- The last row illustrates the problem.123-49-890 Mary Smith Raleigh NC 999-88-123 Henry Ax Boston MA 456-99-123 Sue Kite WA 789-88-126 Andy Yates Philadelphia We have thought about using a SQL query to convert the NULL dataexplicitly to spaces, but were wondering is there a switch or somethingin our format file to get around this.Thanks.
Hi. Im new to SQL and I need to export a SQL table as a comma delimited text file which is straight forward. However two of the fields are integers and I need these to be right justified with zero's. In Access I would use something like format(columnname, "00000000") to get it to work, but SQL Server doesn't like this. How can I do this?
i have 4 SSRS reports. each report must be scheduled to run at different time and then send the send the reports in txt format (tab delimited) to a ftp server .I am new to SSIS and SSRS.
Similar to a previous post (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=244646&SiteID=1), I am trying to import data into a SQL Table.
I am trying to program a small application that will import product data obtained through suppliers via CD-ROM. One supplier in particular uses Fixed width colums, and data looks like this:
Example of Data
0124015Apple Crate 32.12
0124016Bananna Box 12.56
0124017Mango Carton 15.98
0124018Seedless Watermelon 42.98 My Table would then have: ProductID as int Name as text Cost as money
How would I go about extracting the data with an XML Format file? I am stumbling over how to tell it where to start picking up data for a specific column. Is there any way that I could trim the Name column (i.e.: "Mango Carton " --> "Mango Carton")?
I don't know if it makes any difference, but I've been calling SQL from my code by doing this:
Code in C# Form
SqlConnection SqlConnection = new SqlConnection(global::SQLClients.Properties.Settings.Default.ClientPhonebookConnectionString); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
SqlConnection.Open(); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); SqlConnection.Close(); RefreshData(); I am running Visual Studio C# Express 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005.
Using RAISERROR from within a stored prcedure will result in a SQLException being thrown at the client side of a JDBC connection. I am trying to provide a meaningfull error message to be shown to the end user. However, all exceptions thrown will inevitably start with : "[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer]". The following questions then arise :
- Is there a way of configuring SQL Server not to display this header ?
alternatively,
- Is there another way of conveying error messages to the client through JDBC ?
Hello, I have caching enabled in my application and I am using SqlCacheDependency to cache my tables. Well, the cache works fine but when the table is updated the information in my cache does not update. I DO have the broker service started and running but not sure what else i am missing. I am using sql server 2005.
Hello all.. i'm having a major issue with my Sql Express 2005 database :( I'm using wicked code sitemap to allows for a sitemap to be stored in a database.. it uses sql cache dependency to invalidated the cache bla bla Problem: After i update a record / add new record the database generates a SqlQueryNotificationStoredProcedure But it never gets executed. I've done tests on the code it's calling everything accordingly so i'm assuming the problem lies in a configuration setting of the database done alot of searching around the net and i've found this GRANT SUBSCRIBE QUERY NOTIFICATIONS TO username i'm using Windows Authentication how do i run this and will this solve the problem
I'm working off of the example shown here: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/mosessaur/sqlcachedependency01292006135138PM/sqlcachedependency.aspx?ArticleID=3caa7d32-dce0-44dc-8769-77f8448e76bc
The tutorial shows that an entry must be made in web.config for a sqlCacheDependency node in web.config. When a dependency is added, they set an attributed called "connectionStringName" that references a connectionString established earlier in the web.config. My question is twofold: 1). First, I tried setting up my connection string using the connectionStrings node (my other apps use the AppSettings node), but when I try to extract the value in my code using the following syntax: connStr = Convert.ToString(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["devConnStr"].ConnectionString); I get the following compilation error: "ConfigurationManager does not exist in the class or namespace System.Configuration"; Am I extracting it with the wrong code? Does that setup exists in .NET v 1.4? No, I cannot use .NET v 2.0 for various reasons.
2). If I cannot use ConnectionStrings in that way and must use AppSettings, how do I set up SqlCacheDependency node to recognize that connection string?
I've problem in replicating data thru SNAPSHOT as I've the tables with Foreign Keys at subscriber end. The Truncate table is not working because these tables were referenced by a FK. Even for recreating table during snapshot is also same problem. Any suggestions?
I am under the impression that either there are deficiencies in the way SQLServer 2000 is keeping track of depedencies or perhaps the dependenciessimply need to be re-evaulated / recompiled.What is the best and/or easiest way to ensure that the dependency info isaccurate?Is there a way to tell MSSQL to rebuild/reexamine them all?Thanks in advance to the MVPs and other generous and knowledgable posterswho have helped me recently.Chad
I am attempting to duplicate a nifty feature that one of my colleagues used:
We have parameters where a user can select a client or an individual account. There are available values for each parameter from two queries. I tried to have the available values in the account list dependent on the user's selection in the client list by passing the client parameter's value to the query for the account data set and using it in a where clause, but I get a "forward dependency" error.
The weird thing is that my colleague tried the same strategy and it worked. We together tried to set my report up the same as his, but cannot find why his works and mine doesn't. Any ideas?
His report works when deployed from my machine, so there must be something in the actual report that is different...
We have a Windows Service running on 30 server that is using SQLDependency on 10 different tables to recieve data change notifications. We have noticed that when a data change occurs not all 30 servers recieve the notification. Any help that you can provide to troubleshoot this issue would be greatly appereciated.
