SQL Server 2000 running on Windows 2000
Is there a way to set up the SQL Server Log files so that it automatically creates a new one (or overwrites the old one) when the old one is full?
We keep having people shut out of our web site due to the log file being full. Since we have no DBA I volunteered to try to find out how we can avoid this faux pas in the future.
Thanks for your help!
Hi gurus,
I've created a linked server (and set up the corresponding schema.ini file) in order to perform bulk-inserts from some CSV text files into SQL tables (from my standpoint the text files are just for reading purposes). The linked server works fine (I can select the data in the files without a problem).
Now the question: is possible to automatically detect when one or more of those files change in order to start the import process automatically? Something like having a trigger created on the CSV files Or there's no easy way to do that so I have, to say something, to create a Job that periodically checks if the files have changed programatically (say, recording each file's timestamp everytime is imported and comparing the recorded value with the current one, or whatever)?
Thanks a lot in advance!
I installed Visual Studio 2005 and an SQL Server 2000 enterprice.
I called my SQL-Server instance "PALAGSQL". My computer is called "PEARL"
when I try to create a connection in VisualStudio2005 ,I put Server-Name : "PEARL/PALAGSQL"
.......but I receive error 40 "Could not open a connection"
What did I miss ?
What shall I do.
Experts help.
This Q is so easy I can't find the answer anywhere!
Why is SQL Server called 'Server' ? I understand it is a lot more capable and robust than Access but where does 'server' come into it.
I currently use ASP and Access for dynamic websites but it is time to move up a notch.
Do I just buy SQL Server, make a database, upload it to the same place as before and hey presto?
can I run lots of websites (on different domains and servers) from databases created with my single license standard edition?
Thanks

Hi all,
I have been using SQL Server 2K for a couple of months now and I have been entering data into my tables through Enterprise Manager. I do this by selecting the table, right-clicking on it, and selecting Return All Rows.
After months of use, this method of entering data has become tedious and cumbersome. Is there an easier way to enter data into SQL Server? I don't know how to program Visual Basic, but I know how to create dynamic websites.
Microsoft Access offers the ability to make Forms, so that data entry is easier. Can SQL Server offer anything similar? Maybe SQL Server 2005 offers a GUI for data entry?
Cheers for your help!
I know about @@version and SERVERPROPERTY, but I am looking for a query that will determine between SQL Server 2000 and 2005. I need to write an if/then statement and don't want to have to add all of the 9.xxx.xx versions for 2005 and keep that updated with each hotfix that comes out.

Experts:
I think this is probably an easy question for you. I have installed MSDE and
SS Desktop Edition on two different machines (Windows 98). Each time I try
to look at the Properties menu for SS Agent in Enterprise Manager, EM hangs.
I installed Service Pack 2 on one machine, but that did not fix the problem.
Also if I change SA password to something other than the default, SS Agent
will not start. It only starts with the default password; shouldn't I change
this for security reasons. I have SS7 running on another Windows NT box with
none of these problems.
Any help greatly appreciated,
Gary
I am new to using SQL Server but will be having to get to know it at work and have downloaded SQL Server 2005 Express to tinker with at home.
What are the easiest methods to set up a relational database?
Are there any tools you can download to give SQL Server or the express version functionality similar to Access?
Can you get a tool to allow you to not only design tables in design view but then go on to create relationships and a database model?
Please excuse my ignorance if this is possible already, can anyone provide any links to getting started links?
There seems to be plenty out there about writing queries and stored procedures etc. but I haven't found as much about setting up a database from scratch.
Thanks in advance,
JJJ.
I proposed on a new server that we separate Data Files, Log Files, tempDB, Backups, etc. onto separate LUNS on a SAN with High Speed Solid State Drives.I was told that with the new technology with solid state SAN's that it would decrease performance and that it did not work the same way as it did when you had RAID 5's etc.I thought that if things were cared out correctly by a SAN Administrator they would know how to configure for optimal performance.

PushD "

forfiles -m *DIFF*.sqb -d -1 -c "cmd /c del /q @path"
) & PopD
It works remotely if I run it via command prompt. But when I add this to a TSQL job on my remote SQL instance, it runs without deleting anything. What I'm missing?

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy company wants me to research and flags or registry tricks that would allow non-ansi joins '=*' and '*=' in SQL Server 2005 with a compatiblity mode of 90 to be allowed.
The way I understand the situation is that in SQL Server 2005 with the database compatiblity set to 90, non-ansi join SQL such as the following would not work.
Select * from
Customer, Sales
Where Customer.CustomerID *= Sales.CustomerID
To work, the SQL above would have to be converted to ansi join SQL such as the following:
Select * from
Customer LEFT OUTER JOIN Sales
On Customer.CustomerID = Sales.CustomerID
Many hours would be spent browsing through millions of lines of code to find the non-ansi SQL and have changes made.
Does anyone know of any trace flaqs or registry entries that would allow SQL Server 2005 work in 90 compatiblity and still allow non-ansi =* and *= joins in SQL?

I have written a script to GENERATE Random Password. But I want to modify that to a some kind of password which is little easy to remember!
I have seen some of the online sites where they generate passwords which are easy to remember and having some way to remember them,
my script:-
declare @db_pswd nvarchar(4000);
declare @len1 int = 16,
@min tinyint = 40,
@range tinyint = 74,
@exclude varchar(50) = '11cdtyuXR#0:;<=>?@O[]`^/abfty#$%^&1234567890*',
@output varchar(500)

Is there an easy way to compare the contents of objects between 2 different databases? For example, say I had 2 databases, My_DB_1 and My_DB_2, each with a SEC_User table. Say I wanted to do an object-to-object comparison between databases to see if there were any differences. Here's some sample SQL:
use My_DB_1
select * from sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities('dbo.sec_user', 'object')
use My_DB_2
select * from sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities('dbo.sec_user', 'object')
Say that the result sets above both returned a SEC_GetUser sproc object ref. Is there a way to write SQL that will compare the SEC_GetUser sprocs (and other objects in the above rowsets) from both databases? For example, if My_DB_1.SEC_GetUser returns an extra column in the result set than My_DB_2.SEC_GetUser then I'd like my comparison SQL to return a single column "IsDifferent" with SEC_GetUser as a row....
I'm banging my head against the wall. It's probably pretty simple so here goes...
I have a form that supposed to add records to a table on the database. I'm pretty sure I have the dataAdapter and Dataset set right but when I add a record, it complains that the primary key can’t be null. I’ve tried different things, including removing those fields and variables from the stored Proc, changing the Identity Properties of the Table, changing the AutoIncrement settings on the Dataset for that field, but all give me different errors. Nothing actually makes it work. This database has many records in it and the Primary key is a decimal field that starts at 5, then next was 10, then 28, then it started getting consecutive after 110. (111, 112, 113, etc.) (I'm porting over an old database to a new web site, so I'm somewhat contrained by the database.)
I guess my question is for adding records in to a database that has a primary unique key constraint. Certainly this is a pretty common thing. Obviously I do not want users to enter that in themselves, I thought it should simply autocreate/autonumber. So what is the best procedure and gotcha’s I need to watch out for?
if i have the following code, how do i know if the transaction was actually successful, so basically where in this code can i write TRANSACTION SUCCESFUL?
try
{
//Open up the connection
conn.Open();
//Setup the Transaction
trans = conn.BeginTransaction();
//First query in transaction
pre_query = "Delete from Menu where spec_name="
+ "'"
+ spec_name_array[i].Text.ToString()
+ "'" ;
//Second query in transaction
query = "INSERT into Menu VALUES ('"
+ Calendar1.SelectedDate
+"','"
+ spec_name_array[i].Text.ToString()
+"','"
+ spec_desc_array[i].Text.ToString()
+"','"
+spec_price_array[i].Text.ToString()
+"',1)";
SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand(pre_query,conn);
//Setup the command to handle transaction
comm.Transaction = trans;
//Execute first query
comm.ExecuteNonQuery();
//Add in second query
comm.CommandText = query;
//Execute second query
comm.ExecuteNonQuery();
trans.Commit();
}
catch(SqlException ex)
{
com_label.Text = "Submission Not complete, did you forget the date or something else?";
//Undo all queries
trans.Rollback();
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
}
This may not be the right place for this post...but my head is hurting and I can't think right now.
I have a SQL table of users. Each record has a required 'Birthdate' field. I'd like to order this by the days left till the give birthday, keeping in mind that the year may be 1980 or their birthday might have been 2 weeks ago.
Can someone cure my headache?
I have written 2 custom connection mgr€™s.
One connects the data from an oracle source
One connects so I can put the data on a sql server.
These both work well and it makes it a lot easier across development, test, production.
But now I would like a good way to do this
I have 10 tables to copy from oracle. The only difference is just the name of the table.
static string[] g_tables =
{
"table_name_1",
"table_name_2",
"table_name_3",
€¦
};
foreach (string str_table in g_tables)
{
Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCommand OracleCommand = new Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCommand
(
"select * from " + str_table,
OracleConnection
);
Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDataReader OracleDataReader =
OracleCommand.ExecuteReader();
// dump out to raw file destination
}
I understand there are some pieces left out but that is the basic idea. It seems like I€™m going to have write custom pieces for each step.
It does not seem like there is any advantage to using SSIS. Should I give up now and stick to writing windows services for stuff like this?
I could just write a specific piece for each table but the only difference is the table name.
I need to determine the top 20 most frequent occurences of a value in a specific field using SQL.
My table structure...
enddt datetime(8)
status varchar(20)
when enddt time equal to server time.
I want to change status field to expired.
What is the easy way to do this?.
enddt status
8/22/2005 7:00:00 PM expired
9/22/2005 8:30:00 PM expired
10/30/2005 7:30:00 PM live
11/22/2005 9:30:00 PM live
I completely forgot how to do this. I want one of my groups in the matrix to take its week number (1-7) as Monday-Sunday.
so it would kind of be like this:
=IIF(Fields!DayOfWeek.Value=2,"Mon",
ELSE(Fields!DayOfWeek.Value=3,"Tues",
Else(Fields!DayOfWeek.Value=4,"Wed",
etc etc
Am i doing this right, or am i off??
If I have a 64 bit version of SQL 2005 installed, will "select @@version" indicate it is a 64 bit version? If not, how do I determine such? Thanks in advance.

I have a column in my report that i want to show percentage change from the previous year to this year. So i enter all kinds of different type of formats for the formula, and keep getting the wrong answers or error messeges. Here's what i have tried recently:
=SUM((Fields!LYTD_Amount.Value - Fields!YTD_Amount.Value) (Fields!YTD_Amount.Value*100))
Its pretty much Last year to date Minues Year to Date , Divided by Year to Date, Multiplied by 100.
any suggestions? Everytime i try to put an aggregate in the box, its always tricky.

I have a simple SQL table. The data looks like this:
products_ID----category----product_local
1----CORE----0
2----BASE----0
3----BRANCH----1
4----LEAF----3
I need to create a SQL statement that produces all category items where that ROW's products_ID is not found in ANY product_local in the table. So in the table above only the category BASE and LEAF would be printed because their products_ID are not found in any product_local in the table.
TIA as I am completely stuck!
OK, I have two cols of data:
COL1 COL2
test ing
tams ert
test pan
ted ted
hom jis
ted sam
tams dom
test ut
I need to simply pull one row of data from the given rows. Whats in COL2 is not relevant. So an example would be:
I want to retrieve a row(any row, but only one) where COL1 = 'test'
An ecceptable result woould be:
COL1 COL2
test ing
or
COL1 COL2
test pan
or
COL1 COL2
test ut
I would appreciate any help. This is driving me nuts. Seems like it would be easy.
TIA,
