Installing SQL Server 2005, Detecting Installed IIS

Please help.
Detecting Feature Pack Components On A SQL Server Server
Feb 28, 2007We have a product that uses, and will bootstrap, several of the feature pack components when it is installed (xmo, MSOLAP9, etc). However, if our product is installed on a machine that has SQL Server 2005 already installed, all of the feature pack components will have been installed as part of the server install, so we don't want to bootstrap them in that case. Is there a good way to detect this case? Clearly, simply checking that the feature pack MSI hasn't been installed isn't good enough, since SQL Server has its own MSIs that are different from the FP MSIs.
View 2 Replies View RelatedLocal SQL Server Instances Not Showing Up On Local Servers Tab Of Management Studio Logon Screen
Oct 2, 2007We have a 64-bit VM server running SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server on this particular VM server has 6 local instances installed. On the Management Studio logon screen I can type the full name of the local instance and connect to it, however if I press the drop down in the Server name field, choose Browse and select the Local Servers tab there is nothing listed under Database Engines.
Any idea why the 6 local instances don't show up under Database Engines? This is preventing me from installing a vendor application because their installer looks for local SQL Server instances on this server, but if SQL Server won't even show the local instances then the installer doesn't see them either.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Can someone provide me with instructions?

Detecting Service Pack 2
Sep 27, 2007Hello all,
Is there a preferred method for detecting SQL Server 2005 SP2? I do installation/deployment and during my install script I would prefer to skip the SP2 install if the instance is already upgraded.
I had tried to check HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerInstance NamesSQL to first find out what MSSQL.[n] our instance took.
After that I was attempting to check HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.[n]SetupSP but there have been cases where the key SP did not exist.
I decided I could just install it under the condition that no key existed at all, assuming since the 'SP' key did not exist, the instance was not upgraded. In tests however, after a fresh install of SP2, the key was not there.
I guess the question is further defined as: does installing SP2 place a flag that it exists anywhere else? Is it supposed to write to HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.[n]SetupSP?
Thanks,
-Mike
DDL Triggers And Detecting Sp_rename
Jan 2, 2008I am trying to use DDL triggers to detect all changes to a table.
Sometimes a user directly or (more likely) through the SQL Server Management Studio GUI renames a column via sp_rename.
I can't seem to figure out how to detect such renames using a DDL trigger. Is there any way or is this a limitation of the DDL trigger system?
Detecting Of Record Does Not Work In If Query
Nov 23, 2007Edit: Newer mind. I tested this query more after writing this, and now it seems to work!I hope it continues to work. In following query, else is never executed.CREATE PROCEDURE Put_into_basket( @Product_code varchar(20))ASBEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON;IF NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM dbo.t_shopping_basket WHERE Product_code=@Product_code) BEGIN INSERT dbo.t_shopping_basket (Product_code, Name,Price) SELECT Product_code, Name,Price FROM dbo.t_product WHERE Product_code= @Product_code ENDELSE --this part is never executed BEGIN UPDATE dbo.t_shopping_basket SET Quantity=Quantity+1 WHERE Product_code=@Product_code ENDENDGO The query should test if there is a record or row with Product_code=@Product_code. If there is not, that is the first part, one such row is inserted. Quantity has a default value of 1. Insertion works, one row is inserted. At least sort of. If there is already record, That's later part, Quantity is increased by 1. That too works, if ran separately.But when I test query, it never runs the quantity+1 part.

Ssis - Detecting Hung Packages
Apr 17, 2008Folks,
I have a SSIS package that works fine 90 % of the time. Every once in a while it gets hung and when I notice that the package has been running for several hours I check the job activity monitor and notice that the package is in executing state for several hours..my question is ...Is there a way I can check for this incidence through a c# app ? Does the package name show up in the process task if so I can poll to see if the process corresponding to the package has been executing for > 30 mins then I can kill it.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks
Lookup Not Detecting New Column On Table
Aug 13, 2007I have added a new column to a table, but it is not showing up in the column mapping tab of the lookup editor.
It does show up in the preview.
Without deleting and recreating the component (with all the ensuing broken metadata fixes 'downstream' that this always entails), how can I get it to recognise the change?
In future I will do all LUs as a sql statement so at least I can control columns. This again defeats the purpose of the drag and drop environment..... If it were a harry potter character, it would be a dementor

Request For Info - Detecting DB Changes And Batching For E-mail
Feb 7, 2006I have a .NET app recently ported from 1.1 to 2.0 with a pending feature request. I'd first like to state that I'm not asking anyone for the programmatic answer, unless of course, you'd like to provide it. I'm simply asking the best way to accomplish this task with the tools I have available to me (VS 2005, SQL 2000 and 2005). I do not consider myself a professional .NET or T-SQL programmer but I do have a good understanding of the technologies so that I can find what I need to know once I know I'm going about something the right way.
The application I wrote, from scratch, manages News, Featured Connections, and FAQs for a web site. It was designed in a multi-layer approach where there are:
items -> assigned to categories -> assigned to users
So if user Fred is granted rights to category A, when he authenticates to the app he can Add/Change/Delete any item in category A. Simple enough. But also what Fred can do is see all the other items other users have created and *schedule* any relevant item related to his web page to appear within his own items even tho he has no rights to change that item in the admin interface.
The feature request is a notification service, so that Fred gets an e-mail when someone has added a new item or edited an existing one. I don't want Fred to get an e-mail *every* time an item is created or edited, that would be big bother and would generate lots of e-mails. What I'd like to do is send Fred an e-mail sometime in the middle of the night that informs him of the items added or changed since his last login, so that at his choosing he can go into the admin interface and schedule one or more of those items for his page.
Should I just write a new console app that does this, compile it and schedule the .EXE to run at midnight? Or is there a better way to leverage the new features in SQL 2005 (extended strored procs, triggers) and .NET to do this a better way? Currently, the DB is in SQL 2000 but I have no problems moving it to SQL 2005 if that helps me in some way. Thanks in advance for your comments.

Transact SQL :: Detecting Modified Rows Before Writing To A Table?
Apr 17, 2015I've a table with more columns and 1 identifier. I need to write this table when a modified row is detecting respect to the columns not to the identifier.
So I've created a temporary table to put the potential rows to write on the real table, but I want to detect the modified rows. I've thought to use the checksum function, but I don't know how to use it and if it could be useful in this scenario.
Moreover, in the temporary table I've collected daily the rows to write: the first day a row could have a value respect to his columns, the next day a different value and the next one the same value respect to the first day.

View 7 Replies View RelatedSSIS Not Detecting Oracle Stored Procedure Failure
May 29, 2006Hi,
I figured out a way to execute an Oracle Stored Procedure from an Execute SQL Task by using
Declare
Begin
SomeStoredProc(?,?,?);
End;
with an OLE DB connection using the Oracle Provider for OLE DB.
The parameters are getting passed in and the procedure executes but if for some reason it fails SSIS is painting the task green and keeps processing. I'm guessing that's because the outer Declare/End statement completed sucessfully.
I couldn't get it to work as a function with a return value. :(
Is there another way to execute an Oracle stored procedure that I missed?
Can you call an Oracle stored procedure from a Script Task and then fail it on parameter value?

SQL 2012 :: Detecting Open Tran In SSMS That Is Visible Indicator?
Mar 23, 2015I am looking for a plugin or way of detecting an open tran in SSMS that is visible indicator,
I know of DBCC OPENTRAN
Select @@trancount
SSMS know you have an open tran when you attempt to close your SQL query window. Just looking for that to show or alert before that.
The context behind this is you given a script and its run on SQL and for some reason the tran is not committed. or rolled back.
Reliably Detecting The Current Directory For An Executing SSIS Package?
Oct 30, 2007I'm attempting to find a reliable way to determine the file system folder in which the current package is located. (Please note that for this purpose I have no need to support SQL Server deployment, so the fact that there is no current folder in that context is not in scope for this post. )
Anyway, I've added the following code to a Script task in one of my packages:
Code BlockMsgBox(Environment.CurrentDirectory)
When I run the package from DTEXEC I get this the current working folder from which I executed the DTEXEC command line. When I run the package from DTEXECUI I get "C:Projects2005TFSRootSSISCurrentBranchProject", which is the actual folder where the package is located. When I run the package from within Visual Studio (right click, execute package) I get "C:Projects2005TFSRootDocumentationSSIS" which is what is throwing me off. I can't tell where this path is coming from; it is a valid path on my machine, but why it's showing up as the current folder is the mystery. There's no code there and never has been, although I do check in and check out documentation stored in this folder.
I've looked around online but have had no luck in finding any information aboutreliably determining the location of an executing SSIS package. The best I have found is this thread (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2202954&SiteID=1) which doesn't address the issue I'm seeing.
In short, I'm looking for a consistently reliable mechanism that will allow an SSIS package to be aware of its location at run time, regardless of the mechanism (DTEXEC, DTEXECUI, BIDS, etc.) through which the package is executed. My hopes aren't all that high, but I figured if I was going to get an answer anywhere it would be here.
Has anyone else had success with this?
Thanks in advance!

I am at the stage of architecting my solution
My goal is to develop the system on a windows application and pda
There is a central server which will create a publication called inventory
The laptops which host the windows application will be subscribers to the central server using merge replication
The client now wants the PDA using SQL Mobile to synchronize with the local subscirber database on the laptop using active sync. They dont want to do it via WIFI to the IIS Server at the central server
I have been reading for days and I am still unsure whether this is possible to do.
I know Appforge provide a conduit for palm to access synchronization but not local sql databases
I would appreciate your help immensley
