ERwin Triogger Bug
Jul 20, 2005Hi, guys...new guy here. Let me introduce:I'm a technical writer for B&N.com and I've been using ERwinDatamodeler 4, release 4.1.2771 to create data dictionaries. I'm not aDBA, though I'm slowly picking stuff up.I discovered something yesterday that from my perspective is quiteserious and I wanted to verify that it is indeed an issue.I have bunches of tables and for some tables, I havetriggers...anywhere from 1 to 6 of them for a table. Yesterday, Inoticed that triggers appeared in SQL Query Analyzer that didn'tappear in ERwin and after a long conversation with CA tech support, itwas determined that ERwin doesn't properly support showing alltriggers for a table when more than one trigger for that tableperforms the same action; insert, uipdate, or delete. When it findsmore than one, it only shows one of them and ignores the others.As anyone found this to be true? There is a kludge workaround...useSQL Enterprise to script out the database, then perform a reverseengineer on the script rather than the database, but that sucks.Has anyone else noticed this?John Posada
View 3 Replies View RelatedCreating An Erwin Model Of DB
Apr 14, 2005At work, we have a rather large VB project that uses MSSQL as the back end. This program was used to gather employee data and statistics. The author has since quit and I'm trying to add some functionality to the program. Unfortunately, there is no documentation on the db and there are about 80 tables. Is there any way to create a chart/Erwin Model of some sort that would show the primary keys/relationships between the tables?
Thanks!
From Visio 2003 To SQL
Jan 10, 2005I am in the process of creating another database for one of our departments, I'm creating a diagram of the structure in visio 2003. I'm done with the diagram but when I try to export to sql it wont let me. Anyone ever had this problem before??
This is the Error message I'm getting
ODBC Error: 01000
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Warning: The table 'Audit_Tbl' has been created but its maximum row size (20070) exceeds the maximum number of bytes per row (8060). INSERT or UPDATE of a row in this table will fail if the resulting row length exceeds 8060 bytes.
Visio: Employees And Managers
Nov 15, 2007Ok, I have the following table
CREATE TABLE employees (
employee_number char(6) NOT NULL
, known_as char(20)
, surname char(20)
, job_title char(20)
, manager_number char(6) NULL
, unique_identifier char(6) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
)
--unique_identifier is in the format 000123456789
Now I have a conundrum when trying to create organization charts in Visio, so I figured I'd try reproduce the format that a bunch of walkthroughs suggest, which is with the first column being an int identity(1,1) column as the employeeID with the managerID being an int column also, referencing the employeeID.
Hope I've not lost you just yet ;)
So here's what I figured - create a new table with the new integer columns, slap my current data into it and then update the managerID as necessary...
Except I can't work out the update statement for this!
CREATE TABLE gvVisioTest (
employeeID int identity(1,1)
, employee_number char(6)
, job_title char(40)
, department_reference char(10)
, managerID int
, manager_number char(6)
)
GO
INSERT INTO gvVisioTest(employee_number, job_title, department_reference, manager_number)
SELECT employee_number, job_title, department_reference, manager_number
FROM employees
GO
--Update managerID with relevant employeeID
GO
DROP TABLE gvVisioTest
Any ideas?
Oh and this is legacy so the design is flawed, modified over time (the manager field is a bodge put in 5 years ago), so yeah unfortunately I have to work with what I've got :(
Questions With Using Visio 2003 For DB Design
Jul 19, 2007Hello,
I'm trying to use Visio 2003 Enterprise Architect version to do a basic dB table design. Can someone please help me out with the following questions:
1) how can I set a column to "auto-increment", with a seed value, and the increment amount?
2) once I've drag and dropped an Entity from the stencil onto the design surface and selected it, what is the difference between:
a) clicking on a column name, select Edit, select Check tab, and enter the check constraints, versus
b) clicking on "Check" under Categories, select Add (actually I'm not quite sure what to add here)
Thanks

Thank you for your kind attention.

How To Automatically Generate HTML Visualizations Of Mining Models Using Visio?
Jul 25, 2007Hello!
I'll try to explain what I'd like to do. On my SQL Server 2005, SSAS contains a mining model (In fact a cluster one).
I'd like to show a detailed diagram build from this model on a web site. This diagram (and this is why I need automation) would depend on the user who's consulting it.
For example, a firm A will see the number of its customers in each cluster, and this information will be different for another firm B
So, I thought about several steps to perform:
1) Feed the model with the data for each firm
2) Build a Visio diagram from the previous data using the DM addins for Visio 2007
3) Generate HTML using the Visio export wizard
4) Publish HTML
And (important) this should be done automatically.
I made some experiments:
Step 1 is easy to perform with SSIS
Step 3 is also easy to do with the Visio SDK (using, among others, the exportAsHtml control) and Step 4 is trivial
I failed to perform stage 2, even with the SDK, since creating a diagram from a DM template requires the user to fill a wizard. By code, I'm able to create a document from a DM template, Drop a DM Stencil but when the wizard appears I'm unable to get a handle on it. And even if I was, I dunno if it would be a "clean" way of doing.
So my question is: first of all: isn't there an easier way to generate HTML from Mining Models automatically? And if my approach to this problem is the best (or the "least bad"), how to generate datamining Visio diagrams from code automatically?

SQL 2005 Thinks A SQL 2000 Backup Is Corrupt, But SQL 2000 Restores Just Fine
Jul 19, 2007I am attempting to move some SQL 2000 databases to SQL 2005. My main production database does not seem to want to move. When I use the SQL 2005 GUI the .bak backup file is marked 'Incomplete'. When I attempt to restore the backup file I get a 'RESTORE detected an error on page (0:0) in database' message. I saw a thread in the SQL Express forum suggesting trying to restore from the T-SQL level to get the GUI out of the picture and I get the same 'error on page (0:0)' message. However when I take the same file and use SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager it restores with no problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Bit-data From SQL Server 2000 (2005 Working, 2000 Doesn't)
May 19, 2008Hi, I am trying to edit some data from a SQL2000-datasource in ASP.NET 2.0 and have a problem with a column that has bit-data and is used for selection. SQL2005 works fine when declaring <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="TRUE" Name="APL" Type="boolean" /> </SelectParameters>When running this code with SQL2000, there are no error-msgs, but after editing a record the "APL"-column looses its value of 1 and is set to 0. Looks like an issue with type-conversion, we've hit incompatibilities between SQL200 and 2005 with bit/boolean several times before. So, how is this done correctly with SQL2000? (I've tried setting the Type to "int16" -> err. Also setting Defval="1" gave an err) ThanksMichael

Reconnecting Access 2000 Front End To New Instance Of SQLServer 2000
Jul 27, 2004I recently had to reinstall a new instance of SQLServer 2000, but was unable to use the previous server name. As a result, my Access2000 front end is not happy with it's linked tables. I can't seem to find anyplace within Access to universally change the address of the SQLServer used as the back-end for all linked tables.
When I do try to access the linked tables through Access, I get an error, and the option to change the server location. When I try to type-in the new SQLServer location, there is an attempt to reconnect to SQLServer, but a whole lot of errors are generated, and none of the data is transferred into the Access table.
I really don't want to have to re-do my Access front end, so it seems it would be easiest to somehow reinstall SQLServer to have the same server location it used to. Is there a good way to completely erase all traces of SQLServer so that I can have better luck reinstalling it to the same location it used to be in? Just using the uninstall program from SQLServer doesn't seem to be cutting it.
Thanks!
Problem Using Access 2000 As A Front-end To SQL Server 2000 Tables
Jul 23, 2005I've created a small company database where the tables reside in a SQLServer database. I'm using Access 2000 forms for a front end.I've got a System DSN set-up to SQL Server and am using links withinAccess 2000 to get to the SQL Server tables.My forms worked fine until I made a few minor changes to the databaseschema on SQL Server (e.g. added a foreign key, or added a column).After that, all the links break - I click on a table link and get anerror msg like "invalid object name."Deleting the links after a schema change and re-adding the links seemedto fix the problem. The forms I'd already created seemed to work fineafter re-creating the links.But then I got more advanced with my forms. I have it set up so thatfor certain entry fields, the combobox gets populated with values froma table (the description appears in the drop-down and the correspondingprimary key value gets populated in the table). I created a number offorms using this technique, entered data, and everything worked fine.Made a small schema change and it broke everything -- not the actualtable links, but the functionality for the drop-downs. My values nolonger appeared, and this was true for forms that accessed tables whoseschemas did not change.This is driving me nuts. Is there any way to keep my forms frombreaking each time I make a small schema change?Thanks.- Dana

Access 2000 Frontend MS SQL 2000 Backend - Locking Problems
Aug 20, 2007We are using an Access 2000 project to view our SQL Tables and using Access 2000 Runtime to Access the forms in the project. We have written in a locking system in VB and removed the video controls to prevent users from accessing the same records. But of course now we need to make the video controls available. This has now thrown up the problem of multiple users accessing the same records. We have tried to write code to lock records when then video controls are used but this is not working as well as we hoped. Can anyone please suggest any way of setting up locking on SQL using triggers from the Access frontend? or any other types of locking systems that could be written in the Access front end.

Access 2000 On Windows 2000 Can't Interact With SQL Server 7.0
Mar 13, 2001We have a SQL Server 7.0 system in NT 4.0 environment. We upgraded our users to Access 2000 and started to work with this. Now we installed a new
server which is Windows 2000 based and the domain is different from
the SQL servers domain. We then installed Access 2000 on Windows 2000
to use with terminal server. But I noticed that there was a problem
with the program. I then looked at the program which was written on Access 2000 and saw that the tables and views can't be seen. The program runs but
I can't see the views and tables. Another thing is access disconects from SQL Server when I want to see the tables. So what can be the problem.
In one part there is an Access 2000 on Windows 2000 server. On the other part SQL Server 7.0 on Windows NT 4.0. And Access can't see the tables in SQL server.
