I have an application that is developed to support a customer per database. All the data is unique to that customer and is physically partitioned from other customers. Also, I have a database that has common tables to all customers. I use stored procedures to access all data. I would like to keep from duplicating all the stored procedures (since the meat of them stays the same) because of the database references.
Is there any way to use the "USE <database>" functionality in the stored procedures to switch context dynamically without having to reference the unique databases?
I want to know the answer of this question please as i have to submit my assignment as soon as possible. The assignmet question is" We use Composite Index on a table. Which of the following statements will speed up and slow down the operations respectively: 1-Select 2-Insert 3-Modify 4-Delete "
So is there anyone who can help me in this? i would appreciate that! :)
Hi everyone. This is my first time here, and I am really in need of some help! I am a senior Information Technology Major and I am in my first SQL course where I have to write a report on a company that uses SQL Server. I haven't been able to find any companies in my area, and need to find a company to write my paper on as soon as possible. I just have a set of brief questions; they are as follows (and I understand, for security reasons, if you are unable to answer certain questions, do not feel obligated to do so!):
Basics: A brief overview of your company: What is your position? What the SQL Server database is used for?
Implementation: Which version of MS SQL Server is used? Type of instance(s) is(are) used? Which authentication mode is used? Do you utilize SQL Server Dynamic Disk Space Management, and if so, how? How is data security maintained? What type of encryption has been implemented?
Maintenance: What type of backups are completed and how often? How would the database would be restored in the event of data loss? How do you preserve data integrity within the database? Do you utilize any monitoring & troubleshooting tools to assess SQL Server performance (SQL Server Profiler, System Monitor, Database Engine Tuning Advisor, etc).
I greatly appreciate anyone willing to help me with my paper. Thank you! Lynette
I have a problem that I can't find any information on and I bet someone here has hit the wall on this.
I have 2 sql server 2000 servers runnng sql std edition. One has 8.00.2039 SP4 and one has 8.00.818 SP3. The server with SP4 will not let me use a parameter in the DTS SQL task. I get the infamous Access Violation Error. If I replicate the SQL task on the SP3 server I have no problem works great and life is good.
Can anyone tell me if thre is a hotfix for this or something? I've googled this to death and tried various possible fixes with no positive result. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
I have to write a query for printing multiple barcodes, depending on the quantity of items that came in the store, based on the order number.
DECLARE @num INT SELECT BarCodes.BarCode, BarCodes.ArticleID, ArticlesTrafic.DocumentID, ArticlesTrafic.TrafficQuantity FROM BarCodes INNER JOIN Articles ON BarCodes.ArticleID = Articles.ArticleID INNER JOIN getAutoNumberTable(@num) ON @num=ArticlesTrafic.TrafficQuantity WHERE (ArticlesTrafic.DocumentID = @Param2)
The thing i would like to do, is somehow assign a value to @num and pass it to the getAutoNumberTable stored procedure, which generates a table of consequtive numbers, so that each record is displayed multiple times. Is it even possible to do it without using temp tables and loops?
here is the code segment below; ... DECLARE find_dates CURSOR FOR SELECT @SQL = 'select DISTINC(Dates) from ['+@name+'].dbo.['+@t_name+'] order by [Dates] ASC' EXEC (@SQL)
but it gives error, variable assignment is not allowed in a cursor declaration. I need to use dynamic SQL , the only way to access all the dbs and their tables inside. Please help.

We have one main package from which 7 other child packages are called. We are using ParentPackage variables to assign values for variables and database connections.
While the values from ParentPackage variable get assigned to some of the packages properly, to others it doesn€™t assign the value.
For example: Except for one of the packages the database connection string gets assigned properly to all other packages.
Similarly, in another package one of the variables doesn€™t get assigned. In other packages it is assigned properly.
We have checked all the other property values and they are exactly the same.
We cannot make any head or tail of this erratic behavior.
Hi All, I have a web site where the user can select from a list of databases (they're actually all the same structure, but have data unique to each client). Each database is a SQL 2005 database held in the App_Data folder. This all works a treat. Each database is simply named after the client it is holding data for, and the connection string for each is stored in a database that is accessed However, what I need is a form where a database name can be entered, and I can then create a new database with the same structure as the others - including tables, indexes and stored-procedures. I know I can use the copy database wizard in the Management Studio, but that isn't an option to the users of this system (it's to be used on an intranet, and the page I'm trying to create will only be used by project managers - but these people won't have a clue when it comes to configuring databases themselves). I have scripted a database, but have no idea on how I can actually use this script from within Visual Studio and more importantly, don't know how to configue it to have the database name as a parameter. I've also seen some examples that suggest using SQL-DMO, but haven't been able to work out how to use it and according to Microsoft it shouldn't be used for new developments (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms132924.aspx). Anyway, I really hope someone is able to offer some assistance on this one as I've spent a whole day trawling forums and various web-sites trying to find a solution to this. Thanks & regards, Paul
I've got a GridView on my webform bound to a SQLDataSource (called sqlZKEWILL). Works fine as long as I hard-code the "dbo" database owner in the Select statement, as in: select EXIDV, Carton_Count, Carton_Total, dbo.ZINSPECTION where EXIDV = @CartonID The problem is that I need the database owner name to be dynamic. This will be a parameter that I read from another SQL table. For example, I'm doing this: Select USERID, DatabaseOwner from tblUsers where UserID = 'Kimm' I need to take the DatabaseOwner from this second Select statement, and use it as part of that first select statement. On the CodeBehind page, I tried replacing "dbo" with the Database Owner field (which I saved in a session variable) with the following code: Private Sub gvLineItems_DataBinding(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles gvLineItems.DataBinding sqlZKEWILL.SelectCommand = sqlZKEWILL.SelectCommand.Replace("dbo", Session("DatabaseOwner").ToString.Trim) End Sub
But I am still getting the error message: "Invalid object name: dbo.ZINSPECTION". It doesn't seem to recognize that I've replaced "dbo" with a different value.
Any thoughts on getting this to work would be appreciated.
I have a trigger which retrieves database names from a table. I need to use this retrieved database name in another sql insert statement as a variable e.g. set @mydbname = Select .... from.. (to get the database name) then.. insert into @mydbname.dbo.emplTable
At the moment it reads @mydbname as the string "@mydbname" not the value the variable holds
I need the database name as a variable because i have to write to the correct database (there are 15) Any help appreciated
I'm working on a script to convert data from one software packageto another. Greatly simplified, it looks something likecreate procedure import_widget asbegininsert into our_widget (foo, bar)select baz, quux from their_db.dbo.their_widgetendgoThe problem is that the name of the source database varies fromone system to another, so I want to pass the database name as aparameter. I think I could do the following, but is there abetter way to go about it?create procedure import_widget (@db_name sysname) asbeginexec 'create view their_widget as select * from '+ @db_name + '.dbo.their_widget'insert into our_widget (foo, bar)select baz, quux from their_widgetdrop view their_widgetendgo
Dear SSIS experts, I was wondering if there's such a thing that we could assign the database connection on the fly dynamically? so that I save the connection string or the database name somewhere and SSIS reads it on load time or something.. Thank you
hi, in the front end i have two fields one is dropdown list another is checboxlist say dropdownlist consist of title name and checkbox list consists of sub title name.on selecting title name from dropdownlist i will be getting respective title name in checkboxlist. here when i select checkboxlist(suppose if there are 6 items in checkboxlist n if i select only 3)then my databse column should generate one dropdownlist selected item and 3 checkboxlist selected item.
Eg: if dropdownlist contains( title1,title2,title3) and checkboxlist contains(chk1,chk2,chk3,chk4,chk5,chk6). if i select title1 from dropdownlist i will be geeting 6 item in checkbox list) if i select only 3 items of checkbox list. then i should be able to create column name by title1,chk1,chk2,chk3
HiMy problem is as follows:I need to transmit data between two databases on the same server, but Ihave to use dynamic database names (they must be configurable). Forexample I need to achive sth like that:insert into [database1].[dbo].[table1](select columns from [table2])when database1 is not known at implementation stage.I know I can use EXEC @t_sql_code, but I wonder if there is any otherway? (OPENROWSET doesn't seem to suit my needs)Thanks in advanceAmfi
I am building a data warehouse for a customer who has systems located in two different countries.
I need to import that data from four seperate databases, which all share the same structure.
To do this i have created 20 packages to import that data from the source database. What i would like to do, is at run time set which database the SSIS package should get its data from.
In sql 2k this was easy with a global variable that was set, then use a dynamic properties task to set the data source.
How can i achieve the same result in SSIS? the data source is an ODBC connection, with the four ODBC connections having similar names, eg ABC_NZ, ABC_AU
I am doing an e-commerce project. This website will have a category of product. Each category will have sub-category. And sub-category may have another level of sub-category. This means the number of sub-category is not fixed. In the sub-category we will have products. Each product will have unpredicable number of properties (1, 2, 3 or many properties).
With the current requirment, I can know exactly the number of sub-category level and the number of properties. But the problem comes when later my boss add more category, sub-category ,... sub-category(more sub-category level), and product, as well as the products properties. At that time my database schema will not suitable for new category, products because the in can only design database with fixed number of sub-category level and fixed number of product properties(attributes or fiels in database).
Therefore, I want to ask all of you that - Is there anyway to solve this problem? - how to design database that meet extended requirements as I present above?
Hi *, is there a way to connect Excel to SQL Server so that Excel serves as a frontend to SQL Server? I heard rumors that this is possible with the 2007 release.
I'm looking for a product that helps me storing massive data outside an Excel file. Right now, I'm using Palo (open source multidimensional database).
I have 4 different flat files types each having different no. of column, order of columns etc. I want to upload all the 4 types into the same destination table in the SQL database. Before uploading I need to apply transformation to each column in the flat files. The transformations could be like
1) Multipying the source column by 100
2) Put an if condition for 2 source columns and then select one column to be copied into the destination.
I have the flat files schema with me and also all the transformations that are required.
Question:
Can SSIS provide me with a component that can read the flat file schema and the transformations from the database and apply them to the source data and then upload it to the constant destination table? Can derived column transformation be provided with the input columns list and the transformation to be done on each dynamically?
Why I want this way?
In future there can be an addition of extra flat file formats and we want to keep the changes to the SSIS packages to he mininum. Just entereing the addiional schema and transformation details in the database should run the package on the new flat file successfully.
I'm a newbie to SSIS so this question may cause people to point and laugh. I apologise if that's the case.
I have a configuration database that holds connection details to a remote database. I want to use these connection details to dynamically create a new connection to some remote database.
I usually work in with C# where this would be simple but I can't find how to do this using SSIS.
I have found people using configuration files but as I already have my connection data in a table I don't really want to strip it out. (Also, is it a security risk to have database connection strings stored in a config file?)
I have been able to implement a custom script object to build the connection string and assign it to a user variable within the package but can't find any way to then use that variable to connect to the remote database.
I have a question regarding the dynamic sql. I have a script which which deletes all the foreign keys and re- creates it. So, I have created a table instead of a temp table. Now I need to create that foreign keys table in such a way that in which ever database I run the script, this  foreign keys table should be created in that particular database.
For example:
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..keys','U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE keys CREATE TABLE keys.[@sourceserver],[@database]. (RowId INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1, 1), ForeignKeyConstraintName NVARCHAR(200), ForeignKeyConstraintTableSchema NVARCHAR(200), ForeignKeyConstraintTableName NVARCHAR(200), ForeignKeyConstraintColumnName NVARCHAR(200)
I have a requirement to make all of my KPI goals configurable by the end user - I would like to add the data to my datawarehouse so that it is updated in the cube whenever the cube is processed. I'm thinking I will need a table for each KPI that includes two columns (I will be setting goal by year):
Year Value
In my cube I then create a measure group for each KPI (for some I will add a calculations to break down the yearly goal to lower levels of detail).I will add each measure to my Dimension Usage and relate to each of my time dimensions at the Year level.I currently have around a dozen KPIs - my above approach seems a bit messy i.e. requiring a table and measure group for each KPI (I guess I could at least put them all into one table in my relational db).Â
