Do I have to convert dates for a .NET developer so they can capture ms?
Or is there a method they are suppose to be using
I had to remove my modified date check to check for data collisions because they can't pass back microseconds.
What's the deal
I test my the now function and it is getting the right date. When I try to send that to the sql database I have it turns it into 1/1/1900. Does anyone know why this is happening, I have tried everything Here is my code:
sql = "Insert into tblguestbook(date, name, city, state, email, Url, Comments)Values ('"
sql = sql & Request.Form(Now) & "','"
sql = sql & Request.Form("nametxt") & "','"
sql = sql & Request.Form("citytxt") & "','"
sql = sql & Request.Form("statetxt") & "','"
sql = sql & Request.Form("emailtxt") & "','"
sql = sql & Request.Form("urltxt") & "','"
sql = sql & Request.Form("commentstxt") & "');"
I am a developer who works with MS SQL Server a lot, but I'm far froman expert. I am revamping an appointment scheduling system thatallows for appointments to reoccur daily, weekly, monthly and yearly.Currently, I am saving the appointment date as the initial appointmentdate. Then when I want to check for appointments, my stored proc doesdoes a select on the appropriate records fitting certain critieria(like only appointments for this doctor, at this location, etc). OnceI have these records I cycle through them calling the DateAdd() andDateDiff() functions to see if the appointment is reoccuring duringthe dates I'm looking for.Here's is a mock up of what I'm doing. I know cursors are a huge hitperformance-wise (especially how they are used in this scenario) andwant to get a way from this, but I can't figure out how to getreoccuring appointments to work. Any help is appreciated.

I have welders who have active dates and inactive dates, and I need to create an "isactive" column in the report. My formula will be pretty obvious to most of you. However, if the user does not input an inactive date, that means none has been given and therefore the welder is currently active. The problem is that there seems to be no way to check if inactive date is null or not in the formula.
Please help! Thanks!
Hello all. I'm giving serious thought on changing gears withing the IT world. For several years I have been a software developer who has been fortunate enough to have been involved in the needed databases. From just sketching out tables for the DBA to doing the database from the ground up and maintaining it during production. Along the way I've known that I didn't do as quality of a job as a knowledgeable DBA would do but given the situations I made do just fine.
I am considering switching gears to the database side only, coding as secondary. Since I am basically familier with most aspects of SQL Server in a general way, I am looking to take that knowledge and become a "Professional". What I am looking for is a few books to help out. Maybe a "Become a DBA for Software Developers" or something. I know that mining these and other forums are very valuble but I'd like some other training materials as well.
Have I been clear enough on what I am looking for? I don't quite feel like I have.
Basically, what would you recommend for a good software developer who is looking on switching to becoming a good database person?
I'd like to stay in SQL Server for now, since that is what they use here and it would give me an opportunity to practice.
Also, do you see value in the studying process for certifications in this area?
I can't tell if the SQL Developer install upgraded the service, but left the SqlExpress version information, or if I'm still really only using SqlExpress.
Also, my intended target is SQL Enterprise, so if I am using SQL Express am I asking for trouble when I go to move the database over? Are the database formats compatible?
I've poked around trying to search for this answer for a while and haven't turned anything up. Maybe I'm searching on the wrong terms...
Thanks,
Geoff
Hi
I'm using service broker and keep getting errors in the log even though everythig is working as expected
SQL Server 2005
Two databases
Two end points - 1 in each database
Two stored procedures:
SP1 is activated when a message enters the sending queue. it insert a new row in a table
SP2 is activated when a response is sent from the receiving queue. it cleans up the sending queue.
I have a table with an update trigger
In that trigger, if the updted row meets a certain condition a dialogue is created and a message is sent to the sending queue.
I know that SP1 and SP2 are behaving properly because i get the expected result.
Sp1 is inserteding the expected data in the table
SP2 is cleaning up the sending queue.
In the Sql Server log however i'm getting errors on both of the stored procs.
error #1
The activated proc <SP 1 Name> running on queue Applications.dbo.ffreceiverQueue output the following: 'The conversation handle is missing. Specify a conversation handle.'
error #2
The activated proc <SP 2 Name> running on queue ADAPT_APP.dbo.ffsenderQueue output the following: 'The conversation handle is missing. Specify a conversation handle.'
I would appreceiate anybody's help into why i'm getting this. have i set up the stored procs in correctly?
i can provide code of the stored procs if that helps.
thanks.
There are conflicting postings everywhere about this. I built a small site using VWD and SQL Server Express, but need to convert to Sql Server 2005 Developer because the DB will exceed 4Gb. Tried to install and could not connect or use from VWD. Tried to uninstall, got into large mess with the byzantine uninstall process, and have now started with a clean machine.
I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer first, then installed VWD Express 2008 without installing SQL Server Express. VWD won't let me connect to an existing database, won't let me add a new database and doesn't even show the Database Tools option under the Tools menu.
Is there someone with specific knowledge that can provide any enlightenment? Would be much appreciated.
We have implemented our service broker architecture using conversation handle reuse per MS/Remus's recommendations. We have all of the sudden started receiving the conversation handle not found errors in the sql log every hour or so (which makes perfect sense considering the dialog timer is set for 1 hour). My question is...is this expected behavior when you have employed conversation recycling? Should you expect to see these messages pop up every hour, but the logic in the queuing proc says to retry after deleting from your conversation handle table so the messages is enqueued as expected?
Second question...i think i know why we were not receiving these errors before and wanted to confirm this theory as well. In the queuing proc I was not initializing the variable @Counter to 0 so when it came down to the retry logic it could not add 1 to null so was never entering that part of the code...I am guessing with this set up it would actually output the error to the application calling the queueing proc and NOT into the SQL error logs...is this a correct assumption?
I have attached an example of one of the queuing procs below:
Code Block
DECLARE @conversationHandle UNIQUEIDENTIFIER,
@err int,
@counter int,
@DialogTimeOut int,
@Message nvarchar(max),
@SendType int,
@ConversationID uniqueidentifier
select @Counter = 0 -- THIS PART VERY IMPORTANT LOL :)
select @DialogTimeOut = Value

where keyvalue = 'ConversationEndpoints' and subvalue = 'DeleteAfterSec'
WHILE (1=1)
BEGIN
-- Lookup the current SPIDs handle
SELECT @conversationHandle = [handle] FROM tConversationSPID with (nolock)
WHERE spid = @@SPID and messagetype = 'TestQueueMsg';
IF @conversationHandle IS NULL
BEGIN
BEGIN DIALOG CONVERSATION @conversationHandle
FROM SERVICE [InitiatorQueue_SER]
TO SERVICE 'ReceiveTestQueue_SER'
ON CONTRACT [TestQueueMsg_CON]
WITH ENCRYPTION = OFF;
BEGIN CONVERSATION TIMER ( @conversationHandle )
TIMEOUT = @DialogTimeOut
-- insert the conversation in the association table
INSERT INTO tConversationSPID
([spid], MessageType,[handle])
VALUES
(@@SPID, 'TestQueueMsg', @conversationHandle);
SEND ON CONVERSATION @conversationHandle
MESSAGE TYPE [TestQueueMsg] (@Message)
END
ELSE IF @conversationHandle IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
SEND ON CONVERSATION @conversationHandle
MESSAGE TYPE [TestQueueMsg] (@Message)
END
SELECT @err = @@ERROR;
-- if succeeded, exit the loop now
IF (@err = 0)
BREAK;
SELECT @counter = @counter + 1;
IF @counter > 10
BEGIN
-- Refer to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164086.aspx for severity levels
EXEC spLogMessageQueue 20002, 8, 'Failed to SEND on a conversation for more than 10 times. Error %i.'
BREAK;
END
-- We tried on the said conversation, but failed
-- remove the record from the association table, then
-- let the loop try again
DELETE FROM tConversationSPID
WHERE [spid] = @@SPID;
SELECT @conversationHandle = NULL;
END;

Can someone here confirm or deny that Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition doesn't work with SQL Server Developer Edition 2005?
I
was about to order SQL Server Developer Edition 2005 on Amazon, to use
with Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, when I read a user comment that
the two are incompatible with each other. Does anyone know for sure if
that is true?
What I'm wanting to do is develop an ASP.NET web
application on a web host using a SQL Server database. I use VS2003 and SQL
Server Enterprise 2000 at work, but I'd like to learn the 2005 editions
for this side project. I don't own any of the developer tools/IDEs
personally, so I'm trying to find the most affordable way to do this
for my home business.
Thanks for any advice,

Hi, all -
I'm trying to register a developer's 2000 pc from my 2005 pc.
i'm not sure this is even something possible from Dev Edition to Dev Edition- I can register a 2000 server just fine.
I can ping him. Both our systems have remote access 'on'. His server is (local), i've tried connecting to it by just entering his machine name and by using just the ip address. The error I get is "timeout expired. The timeout elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."
Am I just not registering this properly? I entered just the ip address in the 'server' box. I am connecting as sa with the pw he gave me. When i connect to my server, I use the ip addressinstance. However, I am not sure what to use for the instance when all I see when I look at his machine is (local).
I haven't needed to do this before.
Suggestions?

I have a table which records employees'time-off records. There are 6 columns in this TimeOff table. They are RequestID, EmpName, StartDate, EndDate, Type, NumofDays. I have another table which has all the dates from 01/01/1950 to 01/01/2056.
I am trying write a query which lists all the dates between the timeoff startdate and enddate, including the the start and end dates, but my query so far only lists the start and end date in a timeoff record:

Has anyone ever written a function to retrieve all individual dates between two given dates? Using DATEDIFF I can get the number of days between two dates. However I need to iterate through the days to identify weekend and holiday dates. Has anyone ever written a function to do this?
So, if select datediff(d,'07/01/2007','07/15/2007') as NumOfDays returns 14, I'd need to iterate through the 14 days and get the weekends and holidays. Would I have to use a cursor to iterate through the days?
Do I have other option beside using IF..ELSE IF? TIF

Is it possible to catch and error and then keep the process going in a stored procedure?
So if an update encounters a primary key violation on a row, is it possible to skip that row and keep the process going?
Hi! I have some try .. catch block trying to insert some data into database. During its action duplicate key row insert error could raise, for example. The question is how could I know distinguish it from other sql errors? Object ex (Catch ex As Exception) has only message property '{"Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.Group_Courses' with unique index 'IX_Group_Courses'.The statement has been terminated."}' and type System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException. Knowing the type of error is not enough, because there are different SqlExceptions. Even the message is not unique for this error, because now i deal with 'dbo.Group_Courses' and then it could be other table. Is there something that unique identifies each error? For example error code. If it exists, where could I get it?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I have a table with one field set at nvarchar (4000)
This is sometimes not big enough and I get an error that the max row size has been reached.
How do people handle the error when the max row size is reached and gracefully inform the user?
Also, should I really be using Ntext instead, would this be better - is there a performance penalty?
Much obliged.

Hi,
I would like to handle a sql error in t-sql and return a certain value in case error occurs. For example if I would like to add a record I want to return a certain identity value or maybe a status of transaction (0 for incomplete, 1 for succesfull trans).
If error occurs in sql I cannot return any values back to asp.net because of What I am doing at the moment is catching an error in asp.net and then displaying an error message. Is there a way to return only a return value to asp.net and somehow handle the error in t-sql?
Thanks
I don't know what's wrong with SQL2000 setup, the problem is:
whenever I execute a query with a date/time such as 02/02/200,
SQL give me an error message saying that the date is "Out of Range".
Any ideas, thanks in advance.
I'm having trouble with something and I was hoping that you could point me in the right direction.
Here's the scenario:
I have a VB application that clients use to add records to a SQK 2K DB. The info they have added that day is shown in a grid. They have the ability to edit items in the grid, and then update those changes to the database. The problem is that sometimes they change the values to something they shouldn't. To combat this I've started experimenting with check constraints. In query analyzer I test the constraint by trying to update an entry to an 'illegal' value. When I do this, I get an error saying: "Server: Msg 547, Level 16, State 1, Line 1" and the change is not made. What I'd like to do is to give the user a dialog box notifying him of the error. Is there a way to have a sub-routine or stored procedure be triggered when a message of this type is generated?
My specs are: W2K pro clients, SQL2K on an NT4 sp6a server. Application is written in VB6.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have a need when a Update, Insert or Delete is done to a record in DB "A", it will send the appropriate UID to a different table in different DB "B".
My first thought was to have a trigger on the table in DB "A" simply call a stored procedure on DB "B" and do the UID.
However - my question is what is the best approach and what's the best way to establish the connection to DB "B" for the UID from within DB "A"? We can't use linked servers - DNSLESS string would be the preferred connect way. Not sure how to execute it within a trigger.
Is even using a Trigger to Stored Proc the best way?
What about Transaction Replication - which I've never attempted - is that a better way?
Just looking for some guidance here so I don't needlessly burn time down a path that isn't recommended or simply won't work.
Thanks as always for your input,
Peter
Hi,
I build a local cube from a relation database. In the database there are 1:n relations.
Is there a way to handle 1:n relations?
For example:
I have a table LOGGEDFLAW and a table LOGGEDREASON with a 1:n relation between them. We create a select statement of these tables and as an result we get duplicate records of LOGGEDFLAW each time more than 1 record of LOGGEDREASON are associated to 1 record of LOGGEDFLAW - this is the standard result I get with an relational JOIN operation. Now I want to count the LOGGEDFLAWs without the duplicates generated by the 1:n relationship.
Best regards,
Thorsten
Hi All,
Please help me out how to implement the locking in below scenario
Req -
There are two tables Table1 & Table2
If I will insert in table1 then related data fields will be auto updated in table2 , similarly based on the data in table2 table1 data needs to be updated.
Now the sync of table1 & table2 is working fine.
My prob is we are handling the updation/insertion from the UI screens . Two separate screen for each table. When we have multiple user accessing the screens say - User1 updates table1 and User2 updates table2 then we need to implement the locking so that at one time one screen will allow updation in the table1 and hence table2.
The other screen shouldnt allow updation in table2 and hence in table1.
This is very common locking functionality ...but am not getting any way to implement it , Please advise.
Srain.
I have a friend who is doing a voting application for one of his customers and they are concerned about the volume that sql server can handle. He's looking a single sql server 2005 with plenty of hd space and 4gb of memory. The app will look to see if you voted and then insert a record accordingly.
Are there any papers out there or apps that can show the amount a server can handle?
thanks.
I already asked this question; however, I am giving all the detailsnow:We get large files(millions of records) and we need to load it into ourtables using import export wizard. Some of the fields in the file canbe Null and so we are forced to create table with fields that allowNulls with default ''. However when we insert data into these tablesit puts Null in those fields even though we have a default '' (I do notthink we have any work around for that; do we?)Finally we need to go through each field and update it to '' if it is aNull and that takes LOT OF TIME.If (select count (*) from <tablename> where <columname> is Null) >0BeginUpdate <tablename>set <columnName> = ''where <columnName> is NullendPlease let me know if there are any work arounds for this crisis ?Thank you very much in advance!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to know if there is a better way to construct this SQL statement.(Error handling is omitted)MS SQL Server 2000Insert into FSSUTmpSelect a.acct_no, a.ac_nm, a.ac_type, 10, -1,-1 * sum(CHARINDEX(convert(char(4), b.post_yr), @post_yr) * CHARINDEX('-',CONVERT(char(2), b.post_prd - @post_prd - 1)) * b.prd_trn_amt),-1 * sum(CHARINDEX(convert(char(4), b.post_yr), @post_yr) * CHARINDEX('0',CONVERT(char(1), b.post_prd)) * b.prd_trn_amt)FROM GLAccounts a, GLBalances bWHERE b.cmpny_cd = a.cmpny_cdAND b.acct_no = a.acct_noAND a.cmpny_cd = @cmpny_cdAND ac_ctrl_type between '200' and '219'Group by a.acct_no, a.ac_nm, a.ac_typeThe part Im wondering about is the 2 sum sections.The GLBalances table has following important fields:Post_yr -- the posting yearPost_prd the posting periodPrd_trn_amt The beginning balances if the period is 0, or the nettransactions for periods 1 through 12.The first sum gives the current balance as of the period @post_prd by addingall of the periods from 0 to @post-prdThe second sum is just the beginning balance.It is doing a conditional sum by using CHARINDEX to be 0 if the recordshould not be added and 1 if it should.There is a problem as it stands when you are looking for the balances whenthe @post_prd is 9 or greater because b.post_prd - @post_prd 1 willbe 10 or smaller. Then the CONVERT(char(2) .. is an error, so CHARINDEXis 0 when it needs to be 1.I can fix that by using SIGN and it will work fine. What I what to know, isthere a better way to populate the table, where one of the values is aconditional sum?This is a STORED PROCEDURE from a commercial product, so I cant changeanything else other than the STORED PROCEDURE.
