Determining Server Name Inside TSQL?
Dec 5, 2007I'm trying to find out how to determine the Server name of the server that a stored proc is running on.
Something that is similar to DB_NAME()
i.e. SERVER_NAME()

Problem Returning A Timestamp Column Inside An TSQL Transaction
Jan 15, 2007I cannot manage to fetch the new timestamp value inside a TSQL Transaction. I have tried to Select "@LastChanged" before committing the transaction and after committing the transaction. A TimestampCheck variable is used to get the timestamp value of the Custom Business Object. It is checked against the row updating to see if they match. If they do, the Update begins as a Transaction. I send @LastChanged (timestamp) and an InputOutput param, But I also have the same problem sending in a dedicated timestamp param ("@NewLastChanged"): 1 select @TimestampCheck = LastChanged from ADD_Address where AddressId=@AddressId
2
3 if @TimestampCheck is null
4 begin
5 RAISERROR ('AddressId does not exist in ADD_Address: E002', 16, 1) -- AddressId does not exist.
6 return -1
7 end
8 else if @TimestampCheck <> @LastChanged
9 begin
10 RAISERROR ('Timestamps do not match up, the record has been changed: E003', 16, 1)
11 return -1
12 end
13
14
15 Begin Tran Address
16
17 Update ADD_Address
18 set StreetNumber= @StreetNumber, AddressLine1=@AddressLine1, StreetTypeId=@StreetTypeId, AddressLine2=@AddressLine2, AddressLine3=@AddressLine3, CityId=@CityId, StateProvidenceId=@StateProvidenceId, ZipCode=@ZipCode, CreateId=@CreateId, CreateDate=@CreateDate
19 where AddressId= @AddressId
20
21 select @error_code = @@ERROR, @AddressId= scope_identity()
22
23 if @error_code = 0
24 begin
25 commit tran Address
26
27 select @LastChanged = LastChanged
28 from ADD_Address
29 where AddressId = @AddressId
30
31 if @LastChanged is null
32 begin
33 RAISERROR ('LastChanged has returned null in ADD_Address: E004', 16, 1)
34 return -1
35 end
36 if @LastChanged = @TimestampCheck
37 begin
38 RAISERROR ('LastChanged original value has not changed in ADD_Address: E005', 16, 1)
39 return -1
40 end
41 return 0I do not have this problem if I do not use a TSQL Transaction. Is there a way to capture the new timestamp inside a Transaction, or have I missed something?Thank you,jspurlin

Do GetDate() Inside SQL Server OR Do System.DateTime.Now Inside Application ?
Sep 12, 2007For inserting current date and time into the database, is it more efficient and performant and faster to do getDate() inside SQL Server and insert the value
OR
to do System.DateTime.Now in the application and then insert it in the table?
I figure even small differences would be magnified if there is moderate traffic, so every little bit helps.
Thanks.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDetermining The Server Memory Required For SQL Ser
Nov 11, 2007Hi everybody,
I am trying to determine the optimum amount of server memory that would be required for my SQL Server application. According to a book, it is calculated as follows:
Minimum memory required = System memory + User memory + Database process memory
I have thought about ways to determine each component of memory.
1) I could determine the System memory utilized from the Task manager (Total - Available), when the SQL Server service has been started, and no applications are running.
2) I could determine User memory by ascertaining the number of concurrent users during peak usage time of the application and then multiplying it with 0.5 MB.
3) I could determine Database process memory by summing up the "memusage" column in the SysProcesses table, at the time of
peak usage and multiplying it with 8.
Please let me know whether they are correct.
SQL Server 2008 :: Determining Language In SSRS By URL
Oct 1, 2015I have a report that I want to render in different languages. Easy enough. However, the way I want it to work is for the user to go to a particular URL, and depending on whether the URL is, say, .fr for France, or .uk for the UK, it will recognize the URL and render the report in the correct language.The problem is, in testing, I've been trying to use the global &ReportServerURL but it does not seem to work.
Do I take it, then, when I put the report live, it will not recognize the URL that appears in the browser, and so won't be able to tell whether the URL is .fr or .uk and so forth?

EXEC Inside CASE Inside SELECT
Nov 16, 2007I'm trying to execute a stored procedure within the case clause of select statement.
The stored procedure returns a table, and is pretty big and complex, and I don't particularly want to copy the whole thing over to work here. I'm looking for something more elegant.
@val1 and @val2 are passed in
CREATE TABLE #TEMP(
tempid INT IDENTITY (1,1) NOT NULL,
myint INT NOT NULL,
mybool BIT NOT NULL
)
INSERT INTO #TEMP (myint, mybool)
SELECT my_int_from_tbl,
CASE WHEN @val1 IN (SELECT val1 FROM (EXEC dbo.my_stored_procedure my_int_from_tbl, my_param)) THEN 1 ELSE 0
FROM dbo.tbl
WHERE tbl.val2 = @val2
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #TEMP WHERE mybool = 1
If I have to, I can do a while loop and populate another temp table for every "my_int_from_tbl," but I don't really know the syntax for that.
Any suggestions?
Differentiate Between Whether Stored Procedure A Is Executed Inside Query Analyzer Or Executed Inside System Application Itself.
May 26, 2008Just wonder whether is there any indicator or system parameters that can indicate whether stored procedure A is executed inside query analyzer or executed inside application itself so that if execution is done inside query analyzer then i can block it from being executed/retrieve sensitive data from it?
What i'm want to do is to block someone executing stored procedure using query analyzer and retrieve its sensitive results.
Stored procedure A has been granted execution for public user but inside application, it will prompt access denied message if particular user has no rights to use system although knew public user name and password. Because there is second layer of user validation inside system application.
However inside query analyzer, there is no way control execution of stored procedure A it as user knew the public user name and password.
Looking forward for replies from expert here. Thanks in advance.
Note: Hope my explaination here clearly describe my current problems.
Transact SQL :: Results From Secondary Server Inside Primary Server
Jul 14, 2015Inside my sp on the Primary server are 3 commands:
exec msdb..sp_start_job @job_name = N'JobA' --
Running on Primary ServerEXEC Server2.msdb.dbo.sp_start_job @job_name = N'JobB';Running on Secondary ServerSelect * from Server2.Table --
Running on Secondary Server
So far the commands are working just fine when I kick them off one at a time. But when I kick off the sp as a whole I notice that the timing just isn't keeping up. For instance, Step 3 is running before Step 2 is finished. It appears that as the Primary Server kicks off Step 2, it doesn't seem to care about the outcome and moves right to Step 3 which in turn provides me erroneous data.How can I get Step 3 to wait until Step 2 is actually finished keeping in mind the Secondary server is part of this equation?

Determining Unique Children
Nov 17, 2005Hi,
I need to be able to identify if a parent has the same child names as another parent.
Have a look at my data (in pic)
Can you think of a SELECT that will count for each parent, the number of other parents including themselves with all the same children's names?
So you would get something like:
Bob | 2
Bill | 1
Glen | 2
thanks,

Determining Database Size
May 9, 2008Forgive the easy question but I'm afraid it might be also a trick question and I'd like to hear the experts' opinion. I am using SQL Server 2005 Express edition and I know the limitation is 4GB per database. So far none of my users is anywhere near the limit but I have to be prepared for when that day finally comes. As it stands, they use a single database through a program so I have full control over it. There are no fancy backup programs on the system so no fancy recovery models and automatic shrinking can be done - data is only inserted in that database.
My question is simply how can I determine programmatically (I use ADO.Net but it can execute SQL commands just fine) the size of the database as it relates to the limitation? That is, I don't know whether it is the amount of data stored - with or without overhead, or it is simply the size of the *.mdf file (maybe together with the *.ldf file), or whether the 4GB is 4 billion bytes or 2^32 bytes - I just want the same method that the SQL Server is using so that, for example, I can bring up a warning at 90% full and lock out the user at 99% full.
I'd appreciate any insights.

Determining A Range Of Values
Mar 29, 2012suppose you have a large table with 2 columns
create table tick
(
ID bigint identity (1,1) primary key not null
, price money not null
)
and I want to know 3 things
Starting with ID = 1 through ID = (last)
give me the low and high price (that satisfies the below WHERE clause), and the last ID
WHERE high price - low price = 0.10
and the last ID (last) is the minimum ID to satisfy: high price - low price = 0.10
So the last ID will coincide with the record containing either the low or high price, the problem is you don't know which record in that range has the corresponding high/low price, it could be the first record or the 10,000th record.
I am thinking I need to create two summary tables, maybe calculate the min(ID) that goes down 0.01 then the min(ID) that goes down 0.02, etc...
Then calculate the min(ID) that goes up 0.01 then up 0.02, etc..finally join against these two summary tables to figure out which combination of downSummary and upSummary have a difference of 0.10.
Determining If SQL Statement Is A Query
Jul 27, 2007Hi,
I have a C# server application which clients can send arbitrary SQL statements to. These can be absolutely anything - creating tables/views, selecting from tables/views, inserts, updates, deletes, you name it.
There are two return parameters from the server method which executes the SQL - a results set containing the data, and a count of the rows that were updated - (either one or the other should be populated depending on the type of command sent to it). To deal with this, what I planned on doing was (pseudocode follows..):
try
{
reader = OpenReaderCursor(statement)
}
catch
{
updatedCount = ExecuteNonQueryCommand(statement)
}
Unfortunately this doesn't really work, as OpenReaderCursor is able to execute Non Queries (eg. UPDATE/INSERT/DELETEs etc) but doesn't give me a row count, and trying the other way round, ExecuteNonQueryCommand is happy to execute SELECT statements, but I can't then of course return a results set as I don't have access to it.
My question then, if you will excuse the waffle above, is "Is there a simple way of determining if a string containing an SQL statement is a query?" - or will I have to come up with some way of dealing with this in my application code?
Please don't slate the design (ideally I would have two methods on the server, one for queries which returns results and the other for nonqueries which returns an updatecount) but there's nothing I can do, this is how it must be done (the interface was defined long long ago)
Thanks for your time, all ideas appreciated

MS Access SQL Migration To MS SQL Server TSQL

AS Completed,
Count([pkServiceID])-Sum(IIf(IsNull([CompletionDate]),0,1)) AS
Uncompleted, Count(dbo_MyServiceRequests.pkServiceID) AS TotalCount
FROM dbo_qryMyServices LEFT JOIN dbo_MyServiceRequests ON dbo_qryMyServices.FormsServiceID = dbo_MyServiceRequests.PostType
GROUP BY dbo_qryMyServices.FormsServiceID, dbo_qryMyServices.ServiceName
ORDER BY dbo_qryMyServices.ServiceName;
because it's Access and got VBA stuff in it - IIF and ISNULL, I can't figure out how to make it work in proper SQL.

How Do I Reference The Server Name In TSQL As A Variable
Dec 5, 1999I have created a job which performs linked server inserts, the job is scheduled to run every 15min. The Job inserts to a local linked server, some data from one of our log tables. That linked server inturn gathers more data from other servers and exports that data to another application for further processing.
My problem is that I need to reference local machine (DNS Name) as a variable which can be passed along with the linked server insert. If I can get the Server name dynamically I can run this as a remote job on 2 or 20 or 200 servers and It will give the log data and the name of the source server.
QUESTION: How Do I reference the server name from within TSQL as a variable.

Jun 3, 2004I have some simple TSQL running on a large block of data (565 million records). This process is estimated to take around 5 days and it is critical to get this running as quickly as possible.
I'm watching Windows Performance Monitor and both disk and CPU use are really low and all data is local so there is no network access involved. This is the only task running on this database server. How could this be? The process is running; I just need it to run faster. Typically a system is CPU-bound, disk-bound, network-bound, or operating under maximum capacity.

SQL Server 2005 Security - TSQL
Jan 28, 2006Hi All,
I have been building a database in SQL Server Express for some months now using the Windows level authentication login that has given me full access to everything in the database.
The time has now come where I need to create user accounts and grant permissions to specific stored procedures and I'm having trouble doing this.
Can anyone give me a brief rundown of the required T-SQL commands I need to set up a user account that can do nothing but run stored procs (not the system procs which apparently are being discontinued: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182795.aspx).
So far I have:-
CREATE LOGIN db_test_user WITH PASSWORD = 'eXaMpL3Pwd
USE db_new
CREATE USER db_test_user
The above code executes successfully but when I try and connect (using Management Studio) I get error message 'The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection (error 18452)' which means little to me.
I also tried creating a 'WITHOUT LOGIN' user for the database but could not figure out how to give it a password.
I don't know (/understand) roles/schemas and don't know if I really need them as I only need user access to specific stored procs. I don't ever want them to see the tables for example so they only need the most restricted access.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
DG
