Sql Server 2005 Questions Regarding Editing Views
Jun 21, 2006Previously in Sql Server 2000, we would be in enterprise manager, you'ddouble click on a view, and a nice little dialog box opened with the t-sqlstatetments, there was also a check sql syntax and apply and cancel buttons.Not exactly query anaylizer, just a quick lightweight dialog box. Is thisfeature still around? Seems like I have to go into the query anaylizer likemode to edit a view now. I am a total newbie to version 2005. Are there anyoptions I can set to make it behave the old way? All feedback isappreciated.TIA,~CK

Dec 20, 2006Hi All,
Is it possible for someone to open a msde data file in an editor (text or hex) and modify the data, then save the file back to the filesystem?
I would think this would not be allowed but I want to confirm or see if anyone has had any experiences of someone doing something like this?
Thanks.

SQL Tools :: GUI For Editing Table Data?
Jun 4, 2015For prototyping purposes, is there a tool that reads a database's schema and generates (simple) table editor that allows manual editing of data. It would be good if the tool somehow made it easy to add foreign key values to reference data e.g. gender, status, ...I can kind of do this using Management Studios "Edit Top 200 Rows", but I was wondering if there is a more user friendly tool out there.

Jul 24, 2007I use the SQL Compact Edition 3.1 as database for a desktop application. Everything works fine, but is it possible to edit the data (e.g. tables and views) in the SQL Server Management Studio? I can make a connection to the SQL CE database, but I can only edit the objects of a table. The option 'Open Table' as in SQL Server (2005) is not avalible? Does anybody know if it posible to edit the data with the Managementstudio (express)?

I am trying to do this.

The space character from the source is causing the rows to fail I want to force a NULLin the database as a "workaround" from something I am working on.
I thought I had this set up correctly, but it is not working. I have the field in question as an input field set to ReadWrite

Row.[COLNAME] = ""

Why Can't I Enable Editing On A Gridview That Gets It's Data From A View Through An SqlDataSource?
Nov 22, 2007Hi,
I think the title explains it all really. I cannot configure the SqlDataSource to add Insert, Update and Delete statements - not through the wizard anyway.
The view combines two tables, each containing 3 columns. I have tried using different combinations of columns, and ended up selecting all of them (making sure the foreign key column of the first table was given a different alias to the primary key column of the second table) but I still cannot enable editing.

DTS Hangs When Editing Data Transfer Task To Oracle
Feb 5, 2003I have several DTS packages that connect to various Oracle databases. An upgrade has recently been done to one of the databases from 7.3 to 8i. The other databases were always 8i. Last week, I could edit data transer tasks normally, this week, DTS hangs and I have to use task manager to kill the process. It worked fine last week. I can successfully run the packages, I just can't edit them. I have no trouble editing or running packages that connect to databases other than the one recently upgraded. I have tried both OLE DB and ODBC connections with the same results. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow To Update Metadata Data Types Without Editing XML Code
Feb 21, 2007SSIS seems to automatically set the metadata type and for "typed" sources like database and XML connections it seems to take whatever the source column datatype is. If you use a cast or convert in the your source SQL query, it will not change the datatype of the metadata. This becomes an issue when doing things like merge joins on data from different sources and the join columns are different types (e.g. a ZipCode in one system is a varchar and it is an int in another system). I've been working around the issue by editing the XML code and changing the datatype there. Is there any way to do this through the GUI?
View 2 Replies View RelatedEditing Underlying Boolean Data Without Making Cells Editable
Oct 5, 2007I'm having a real hard time coming up with a solution to this problem. I created a custom gridview control from Dino Esposito's "Extending Gridview" article which autogenerates a checkbox column that allows for multiple record selection. Once a user checks a box, the entire row gets selected. I added a dropdown list on the top of the page that has only two options, "Yes" or "No". What I'm trying to do is update a boolean column called "contract" (I'm using the Pubs sample database) for all selected rows (via checkboxes checked) depending on whether the user selects "Yes" or "No" from the drop down menu. For example,1) the user selects "No" in the dropdown2) The user checks all rows in the checkbox column for which he wants the all the values"contract" field set to "No"3) The user then clicks on a button called "Submit" and all selected records get updated to "No" under the "contracts" column. The idea is to allow the user to change the boolean values from a field for multiple records. Hence, making individual cells editable is pointless. Anybody have an idea how to go about this?

SELECT PatientNo, ConsultantName, HospitalName, CONVERT (varchar, Date, 101), CONVERT (varchar, Time, 8) FROM [Appointment];

How can i solve this update problem. I'm guessing i need to configure my SQL UPDATE statement, but bit stuck how i do this. Please help!

How To Restrict Editing Of SQL Server 2005 Data Via ODBC Link?
Apr 25, 2007I have a sql server 2005 database with Delphi 2006 in the front end and for querrying and reporting we use MS Access 2003 by connecting to this database via ODBC connection. I recently found out that the SQL Server 2005 data connected thus can be edited (updated) from MS Access. I do not want end users to modify/update the SQL Server 2005 data from MS Access while I also want them to have the ability to insert/update/delete rights using the appropriate application interface. For now, I am handling this by creating a user id that is not permitted to update, insert and delete and using the same account in the ODBC. Is there a way in SQL Server 2005 you can control insert/update/delete rights for all users that will be applicable only in the ODBC mode?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Best Practice - Data Sources And Data Views Vs OLE DB Source

Are Embedded Views (Views Within Views...) Evil And If So Why?
Apr 3, 2006Fellow database developers,I would like to draw on your experience with views. I have a databasethat includes many views. Sometimes, views contains other views, andthose views in turn may contain views. In fact, I have some views inmy database that are a product of nested views of up to 6 levels deep!The reason we did this was.1. Object-oriented in nature. Makes it easy to work with them.2. Changing an underlying view (adding new fields, removing etc),automatically the higher up views inherit this new information. Thismake maintenance very easy.3. These nested views are only ever used for the reporting side of ourapplication, not for the day-to-day database use by the application.We use Crystal Reports and Crystal is smart enough (can't believe Ijust said that about Crystal) to only pull back the fields that arebeing accessed by the report. In other words, Crystal will issue aSelect field1, field2, field3 from ReportingView Where .... eventhough "ReportingView" contains a long list of fields.Problems I can see.1. Parent views generally use "Select * From childview". This meansthat we have to execute a "sp_refreshview" command against all viewswhenever child views are altered.2. Parent views return a lot of information that isn't necessarilyused.3. Makes it harder to track down exactly where the information iscoming from. You have to drill right through to the child view to seethe raw table joins etc.Does anyone have any comments on this database design? I would love tohear your opinions and tales from the trenches.Best regards,Rod.
View 15 Replies View RelatedPartition Data/Views?
Jul 17, 2001Hi folks,
Recently i've been working on a new project that would partition a large table 2 smaller tables. I then create a view to union the 2 smaller tables(table A, B). I've been getting a strange error when i try to update, insert, delete a record through the view. "View needs partitioning column"....i find this strange. Both of my table have a cluster primary key consisting of 3 columns, and one of the 3 columns(date field) consist of a check constraint. The constraint is used to determine what record goes into which table. Am i missing anything else? The really strange part is sometime it works, and sometimes i get the error message.
Any thoughts?

Retriving Data From 2 Views By The Value In A Textbox
Aug 9, 2007i have a textbox which a user enters a numeric value
i want it to use SqlDataSource and check if the value exists in any of the tables.
in my text box the users would enter starting from '100000' or '200000'
i want it to check the view that starts the # with '100000' and 2ed view starts '200000'
With this i can check in one of the tables and make the selection.
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:imacstestConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [ReportNumber] FROM [AppraisalSummaryBlue] WHERE ([ReportNumber] = @ReportNumber)">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="txtReport" Name="ReportNumber" PropertyName="Text"
Type="String" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
How can i make this possible ?
i was thinking putting a second sqldatasource and have that check the second view but how can i make the textbox goto the correct selectcommand ?

Comparing Data In Tables/views.
May 13, 2008I am looking for an efficient mechanism to compare data between 2 tables/views.
Rationale:
I use a proprietary tool to data transfer between 2 databases. The tool itself uses Microsoft SSIS (integration service) to transfer data. I want to make sure that the data is transfered properly. Both the source and target database are not live database. The source and target database are in seperate servers.
Querying Data From Multiple Views
Jul 23, 2005Hello,I am relatively new to doing non-trivial SQL queries.I have to get data out of 8 diff views based on a parameter Name.There is a view having name-ssn pairs. All other views have SSN field.For a person there MAY NOT be data in all the views.I have to populate data into diff tables in a Report from differentviews.I would like to know what is the best way to approach it.So far I was trying an Inner join from the Name-ssn vies to all otherviews based on the SSN and test for the name field with the inputparameter.I am thinking there will be problem of Cross join if I dont have datain all views about a person.Or the best way is to write query for each view and have all of them ina stored procedure ?Any help will be appreciatedThanksBofo

View 1 Replies View RelatedUsing Views/Stored Procs In One Db, Data In Another
Jan 24, 2007I am moving an app from Access 2003 to C#/SQL Server 2005. The Access app has one front end exe and two back end databases. One back end db is for UK users, one for US users. The tables and structures are identical, but the data is different. UK users link to the UK back end, US users to the US backend. (The queries are in the front end)
In SQL Server, the view and stored procs will be in one database (KCom), the US data tables in another database (KUS), and the UK data tables in another (KUK). All databases are on the same server.
My question is how to let the views and stored procs in KCom know whether to pull the data from KUK or KUS.
In the front end app, I use ADO.Net to deal with the SQL Server databases.
I have not been able to find a model for this, but it must be somewhat common.
I willl have a lost of nested views and stored procs, but as a simple example, say I have a view in KCom which is just "Select * From Invoice Where InvDate > '01/01/2007'. The ADO request would come from the front end app which would know whether it wanted the data from KUK or KUS. How would I get the view to get the data from one as opposed to the other (KUK vs KUS) ?
Is there some other strategy for this situation, say use of connection strings? If anyone has an idea, or knows of an explanation somewhere on the net I'd greatly appreciate it.
Many thanks

View That Would Output Data From Two Views
Aug 8, 2007OK,
I have two data tables where depending on the time line item it is, it needs a different join.
So, it's like this:
Table Credit Card
Table Memo
If Credit Card is VISA, join on column A
If Credit Card is MA, join on column B
So, I created two views. One view has all the info joined on column A. The other view has all the info joined on column B.
How do I create a third view that will output all the data from View A and View B without making it into a cartesian product?
I can't change the table structure due to legacy application/data issues.
Thanks!
SQL 2012 :: Should Use Views Or Create A Data Mart
Oct 9, 2015our group is debating whether we should use views or data marts. WE have some huge queries that can have many joins up to 20 in some cases. One part of our group wants to use views to pull this data and another thinks we should create a data mart off an SSIS package and run it early every morning and then have the users access the data directly from there.
I am not really sure how a view would speed things up. If I have 20 users and they all call a view the view is created 20 times is that not correct? Since a view is basically just a stored sql statement (not a stored proc) I am not seeing how this is any more efficient.
Recovery :: How To Backup Raw Data Only With Just Views And Tables
Sep 23, 2015My client has on a physical server (A), the following:
1. MS SQL Server 2008R2
2. MS SQL Server (Reporting Server)
The data base is backed up fully daily to another physical server (B).
What the client would like to do is:
1. Backup just the Raw SQL Data with Tables and Views to Server B every 10 mins
Point to be noted is, there isn't any dedicated storage (NAS or SAN) just local disk storage on the server.
The reason for this is they want to run reports against this data every 10-15 mins...
How and what do I need to do to facilitate this?
Packages And Data Source Views Do Not Work?
Jun 16, 2006Hi,
doing my first steps in SSIS I wanted to copy data from 2 different SQL 2000 database servers to a SQL 2005 Data warehouse. For not having to deploy additional views and procedures to the individual systems I chose to create a Data Source View to create an abstract view on the different data sources. I found out that I can have named queries pointing to the two different data sources in the same view.
1 Project, 2 Data Sources, 1 Data Source View with 3 Named Queries
When I now add a Data Flow Task to the Control Flow how can I specify my DSV as Source for Transformations? I even added both OLEDB Connections to the Connection Manager but the Named Queries from my DSV do not appear at all. I even tried "SELECT from [myNamedQueryFromDSV]" but without success.
The description available at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/ms403395.aspx is bullshit. There is nothing to expand about the "Connection Manager" in the Data Flow Window. I can add a OLEDB Source as described in the above HOWTO and double click it. But the dropdown field for Connection Manager does offer only the two OLEDB Connections and nothing more. Among the items of the access mode "Tables and Views" the named queries not appear. It does not even work with a homogeneous Data Source View.
How can I make it work? Ain't there a better (working) HOWTO out there on how to enable DSV als Data Flow Task data sources? Do I have to wait for SP2 to solve the problem or is it not possible by intention?

How To Migrate Data From Sybase Views Into Tables
Oct 8, 2015Is it possible to get SQL Server Migration Assistant to read data from a Sybase view and store it in a SQL table. My problem is that I have a legacy sybase application that is being decomissioned and I have been asked to migrate the data into SQL Server. The problem I have is that:
The account I have been provided to connect to the Sybase database does not have select privileges on all the tablesI don't have the sa password for the Sybase database to alter the security. The vendor support contract has expired and it does not appear I have any way to get the sa password
The account I've been given has access to query data in several views even though it does not have access to the underlying tables that the view pulls data from. Since this is a legacy application whose data is now static, I wonder if it's possible to read the data from the Sybase views and dump it into SQL tables.
Data Source Views - Calculated Columns

I took the following steps:
- Created new SSIS project
- Added a Data Source connecting to a SQLServer2005 DB (MyDataSource)
- Added a Data Source View based on MyDataSource (MyDSV)
- Created a Calcualted field to Table Object MyTable (MyCalcField)
- Added a Connection Manager based on MyDSV
- Added Data Flow to Project
- Added OLEDB Source Adapter to Data Flow
- Attempting to Access Calculated Field MyCalcField to be used in Data Flow.
ISSUE: I can't seem to find a way to get the Calculated field to pass through. It's as though this metadata is not available to the Flow.
Anyone have any ideas?
