Either SQL Or VB Is Automatically Applying Time Offsets On My Data
Sep 5, 2006
I have a windows app which is used in australia and uses web services to communicate with the database located in new zealand. I have a problem where dates that are returned from SQL are automatically modified to suit the timezone and i dont know how to turn it off.
For example, i insert the value '10/Jan/2006 20:00' into the database from a PC located in australia. When that data is selected back out, a 4 hour time offset is automatically applied to it and the time is returned as '10/Jan/2006 16:00'.
My current workaround is to modify my queries to say;
"Select convert(varchar, tb_date) tb_date from tablename"
Which returns the date as a string rather than a datetime which means the time offset is not applied.
This is a really poor solution and i'd be really keen to find out a better way...
Thanks
I need to build a reference table that will contain the time zone, offset value and DST changes for all time zones. Is there a way I can pull this from the windows server hosting sql server?
Can anyone direct me to a code that would automatically apply transaction logs to a DB in the standby server? We have a process that dumps the transaction log backup from the primary server into the backup server every hour on the hour, but I need to apply that transaction log as soon as it is in the standby server.
I am sure someone will ask, why not do transactional replication or log shipping? My answer to that is I have yet to learn how to setup replication between servers. I need to get our backup server up and running in the next few days.
how is it possible to set a filed in a database to automatically add the current time to the filed at run time, is this possible; this filed has already been identified as 'DateTime' .
Hi I would like to get more information about using detail view together with auto date/time. I am designing user input form as follow. tid : uid : tool : priority: reticle: status: remarks: request time : <- to autogenetrate current timeInsert Cancel How to use date/time function inside detailed view, insert template.
I have a client data which has the candidate id, a start date which will have only the date in varchar format and a time value associated to that date in varchar format in a seperate column.
To give a brief explanation about the data a candidate will come to study center at any time point in a day for example 10:00 AM on 20-10-2014. The start date will be 20-10-2014 and from 10:00 AM he will have test based on the time point. So if the time point is 2 HR, then at 12:00 PM he will have a test. If the time point is 8 HR, it will get added with 10:00 AM and based on this he will have the test at 06:00 PM. When the timepoint reaches 00:00 the start date needs to be the next date instead of 20-10-2014.
The start date needs to be appended with the time value such that when it crosses over the time 00:00, the start date needs to get increased by 1 ie the next day. I have added the start date to the time by using the code below
CAST(STARTDATE as datetime) + CAST(CAST(STUFF([TIME],3,0,':') as time(0)) as datetime) as [EXPECTEDDATETIME]
By this above code i have created the expected datetime however
I will not be able to hardcode the value due to dynamic data. I tried to apply >= and < to the time value something like
case when MyTime >= '00:00' and MyTime < '08:10' the Dateadd(day, 1, date)
This works perfect but my concern is that I cannot put the value 08:10 because it will not a constant value for all rows.
I have provided a screenshot of my data and a expected date column for reference.
I know 2008 MS SQL Server has a timestamp data type that adds date and time when the rows are inserted. Is there a way to automatically update the date and time when the rows are updated?
I need to test a SQL Server Agent job composed of several steps. I'd like to stop automatically the job when an elaboration time period is passed for a job step. In this way I could check and optimize the code to run the queries in a more efficient manner.
I deleted some records out of an entity, I'd like to keep the Codes as contiguous and incremental, meaning no breaks between the code numbers.I created a business rule and applied it but codes remain the same.
I used the "Default to a generated Value" action, then selected the Code attrib. --Saved.
Then back to the Entity, I applied business rules. But nothing seemed to have happened. As there was no change in codes.
When writing an INSERT statement, what code do I pass to the SQL database to automatically truncate a value to fit in to the database if it contains more characters than the field the data is being entered into?

I am very well versed on manipulating data using passthrough queries through access or the command object in ADO/VBA but this problem requires a sql server side solution and I have been assigned the task
Scenario
Access via an ODBC link cannot view Sql table data that uses a BigInt as a primary key. Access can update the data, insert data ands delete data to these tables - but viewing (by design) returns the actual count of the rows but each field is populated with #deleted.
I can view the table data if I use a passtyhrough query but performing row level and field level edits from there is impossible. Not all people have Studio manager so that is not an option.
We are moving away from our legacy application and the development company has already developed the schema using the BigInt so changing that to a numeric or integer is out of the question. My boss has determined that using a set of bridge tables with identical tables in a different database where we replace the bigint with int will work - we can view the data in the "bridged" database and even update it from select queries and simply by opening the table in view mode from Access.
Here is the hard part (for me) because I have never done this. I can write SQL and understand the security/roles etc, but I have never administered SQL server regarding server side triggers and stored procedures - I have always used the command object or passthrough queries to deal with sql stored procedures. I need to either
A)Create some trigger behind the tables in my bridge table that will fire a stored procedure to replicate the data to the bigint database. They are both on the same sever.
B)Somehow create a "mirror" that always replicates from my bridge database tables (5 of them) to the new database.
I have created a table with the following columns...Date(datetime),Actual (Int),Planned (Int)I need to insert weekending dates starting from 23/04/04 loopingthru'for the next 52weeks automatically into the date column.Then in the actual and planned colums, I need to insert a count ofsome records in the table.I will appreciate help on a SQL query to achieve this!
I have 2 identical Analytics cubes, Cube 1 & 2, my reports point to Cube 1, when Cube 2 is refreshed the reports data source is manually repointed to the updated Cube 2. The following day the Cube 1 is refreshed and again the reports data source is edited and repointed back to Cube 1.
This ensures that if a cube build failes the reports aren't down.
To modify the data source I connect to Reporting Services using SSMS go to the Data source folder and manually edit the Data source.
I have looked through the Reporting database in SQL Server but didn't see anything that resembled the connection string for me to edit.
Are the connection strings for the Data sources stored in the Reporting Database ? Where can I find them?
Here is a Microsoft document that gave me the idea. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/bestpractice/scoqryas.mspx
It talks about changing the connections strings in the Web UI? But doesn't tell you how or point to any docs that do.
Is there a way to automate this and is anyone else running a similar setup.
I am trying to find a way of creating my Repoting Services reports of automatically refreshing once our ETL load has completd. I have created a process that creates a file is a particular directory once the data has completed loading however I am unsure how to make the report look for this file and then refresh the report.
USE [Testing] GO /****** Object: Table [dbo].[Testing] Script Date: 4/25/2014 11:08:18 AM ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
[Code] ....
It seems to work fine with one million records.
Each primary key is unique, but the begindate is non-unique, and i guess even if i use datetime2 and add nanoseconds, from what i have read, there is a chance that i could have a duplicate datetime since the date is imported via XML from multiple sources.
We are using SQL Server 2008 as our database and use Access as a GUI. I am looking to create a form in Access where employees can access their time card and request changes from management. I want to use the format from the attached screen shot for the form. I pretty much know how to do it all, the only point of complication is trying to figure out the easiest way to get the transaction punch record data on employee_punch_record into a format where I can easily populate the form in the horizontal format you see in the screen shot.
I am not super strong in SQL, but figure I can do it using a formatting table of some sort. quick and easy way to move transaction records into a more horizontally oriented record?

How to create insert statements of the data from a table for top 'n' rows. I know we can create using generate scripts wizard, but we can't customize the number of rows. In my scenario i got a database with 10 tables where every table got millions of records, but the requirement is to sample out only top 10000 records from each table.
I am planning to generate table CREATE statements from GENERATE Scripts wizard and add this INSERT STATEMENT at the bottom.
EX : INSERT [dbo].[table] ([SERIALID], [BATCHID] VALUES (126751, '9100278GC4PM1', )
I have an Integration Services package that loads new data into tables that are dimension tables wi my cube. The same situation exists for my fact table. If I perform an "Analysis Services Processing Task" for the dimensions ,cube and measures, will that move the new data into my cube or do I need to perform the "Dimension Processing Destination" data flow task prior to this? Is the initial processing task good enough?

I encountered a very strange problem again. Why the time series displayed on the chart are so strange? The Key time column I chose for my time series algorithm is cal_month(e.g 199001...), but why the date displayed on the time series chart is like :05/06/2448? (it should be like 199001..?) What is that data? And where exactly did it come from? What is the exact cause of this?
Hope it is clear for your help.
I am really confused on this and thanks a lot for your kind advices and help and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
how I can load the CSV file data into the sql server table. I know there are ways like bulk insert and other to load the csv file data into the table. But in my case the table doesn't exist and has to be created at the run time. With simple insert in temp table we do like select * into #temp from tablename and that creates the temp table. So. I need something like that which create the temp table and load the data into it. because the CSV file would have different number of columns and names so I can not create the table structure in advance. I have to create the table at run time.
I am basically a sybase guy but unfortunately I need to patch a SQL server with SP3. This is the first time I will be doing that. So I am not sure that after applying SP3, if I would need to rebuild all databases again.
Could anybody tell me what and where is the impact when we install SP3..??
