Email Confirmation Steps After Registration
Jun 5, 2007
Hi.
I have set up my confirmation system to work as thus:
1) user registers
2) registration goes into a temp table with a code
3) user gets a MD5 code in his inbox
4) user clicks back
5) click-back page moves registration data from TEMP table to USER table and sends the user to the signin page.
6) ...
Now, my question is - how do I handle this final step in account
confirmation? Should the first signin act as a final confirmation of
the users account? This makes sense. Should the data in the USER table self-delete after a day if there has been no first sign-in? Should I have a column in the USER table to show if the first login has happened? How should I do this?
I am sure I could mess around with this but it would be great to
get feedback from somebody that has done this multiple times and has a sense of what the best practice is (based on large volume examples).
Your feedback is much apprecaited.
Thanks.

Hi.
I am about to write my registration confirmation tables.
Right now I have my registration form and table "Users"
that receives input from user registration.
I want to do email confirmation of a registered account.
I was thinking of doing this by creating a table "Verify"
that is set to 0 if not verified and 1 if the user verifies
his email address.
Then I started thinking about the original registration
information. If a user "doesn't" verify, then there is all
this dormant data in the "Users" database. So, maybe
it is better to write all the registration data to the "Verify"
table and then have SQL move that data to the "Users"
table upon verification? This sounds a bit sloppy to me...
is this how the email verification of data is done or, if
not, can somebody suggest a best practice?
I thank you.

Hi,
I have two job J1 and J2, each one has 10 steps. Now I want J2 to be the 11th step of J1 and I did not want manually type all the steps of J2 to be 11-20 step of J2. Is there an easy way through TSQL to do this ?
sp_add_jobstep only works when the step is OS command or a script but not a job

I have a task to perform a new SQL Server 2005 installation at a client.
They have a system with 10 external SCSI drives, each of 72GB. They only have one database of 80GB in use at this system.
1) Userdata: I think that I will put 5 disks at SCSI channel 1, with RAID 3 or 6, with formatted space of 140GB.
2) Log: I think that I will put 3 disks at SCSI channel 2, with RAID 5, with formatted space of 70GB.
3) TempDB: I think that I will put 2 disks at SCSI channel 3, with RAID 0, with formatted space of 140GB.
System already has two built-in drives (RAID 1) for operating system, where I think I will put system databases.
I am open for suggestions and improvements!

I am working with a client who has all databases, logs, tempdb and user/system databases on a single raid set.
In order to make some speed improvement, we have decided to move log files to a second raid controller card.
To accomplish this, we are thinking about taking these steps:
1) Detach database XYZ.
2) Stop database service.
3) Create a new partition on new controller card.
4) Copy old log files from I: to new K: drive.
5) Remove drive letter I: from system.
6) Change drive letter K: to I:
7) Attach database
My question is, does SQL Server recognize the log files automatically, since they are placed at same logical position (i: drive)?

Just a thought.
If an issue is resolved please note that the problem has been resolved. Because there are "many ways to skin a cat" it would be helpful to anyone else with a similar problem (or someone trying to learn) what the solution was.

We have a project at work that requires us to run an msde database from cd. My sup. and I disagree on if this can be done or not. We currently have an application written in asp that uses an access db. We copy the *.mdb file and all the asp files to cd and use the app. to query the db. Now, we have a client who wants the same capability only using msde. They will not allow us to install the full version of sql on there machines. No one in the dept wants to re-write this app. so we're trying to figure out if we can make it work with msde. So, My first question is, does anyone think that it is possible to just copy the *.mdf file to cd (mind you WITHOUT the *.ldf file... can't write to a cd)andMy second question is, can a sql db run without both files in any situation(mdf,ldf)? (I believe this is impossible, but would like to here it from someone with more experience)Any comments are greatly appreciatedthanks

I need confirmation from you SQL Server experts out there. Please let me know if the following works. Thanks!
This stored procedure gets a value and increments by 1, but while it does this, I want to lock the table so no other processes can read the same value between the UPDATE and SELECT (of course, this may only happen in a fraction of a second, but I anticipate that we will have thousands of concurrent users). I need to manually increment this column because an identity column is not appropriate in this case.
BEGIN TRANSACTION
UPDATE forum WITH (TABLOCKX)
SET forum_last_used_msg_id = forum_last_used_msg_id + 1
WHERE forum_id = @forum_id
SELECT @new_id = forum_last_used_msg_id
FROM forum
WHERE forum_id = @forum_id
COMMIT TRANSACTION

Hi to alll of you, i'm working in a project to save cars information, when the user who adds on the new record enter all the data, this will need to be printed with a particulary number, which needs to be unique, (lets take a passport number as an example) this generated number will takes some info from the filling fields, for example:
Cars Brand: BMW (catalog number: 120)
Cars Model: 325 (catalog number: 30)
Year: 2008 (catalog number: 18)
So the unique certification number will takes from the catalog numbers * 20 / 5 for example for cars Brand
for Cars Modelo: catalog number *3 + 15
CERTIFICATE NUMBER: 480-105
I'm not sure if this is possible.
I will realy thanks for your help in this issue.
Best Regards
Gian

How can we say whether the SP is successfully compiled or not if we are compiling it on the server as a part of the TSQL script since it does not throw any message like ORACLE does.
In oracle, system will let you know whether the the procedure is successfully complied or not?

Hello,
I am looking for some confirmation on a behavior of the SSIS Script Task. I have a custom script task that takes an input file, and archives it after it has been processed into the database.
When I run this package in the Visual Studio GUI, if the destination drive is full, it throws an exception telling me that there is not enough disk space. So, my questions are:
1) If this happens when the package is running through the command line, would this exception still be thrown? (I am thinking it will be)
2) Also, Do I need to explicitly fail the script task in the event handler, in order to ensure this .Net exception being thrown will cause the component to fail. (I am fairly certain I do, since this is what I had to do inside of the Visual Studio GUI, but does anyone know if this same behavior would occur when running from the command line?)
Thanks,
Chris

I have discovered what looks like a bug in the optimiser. I've posted it at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=288243 but I wonder if any of you with SQL 2005 RTM, 2005 SP1 or 2008 CTP could confirm when this was introduced and whether it is still an issue?
Code Snippet
-- Bug report
-- 2007/07/19
-- Alasdair Cunningham-Smith
-- alasdair at acs-solutions dot co dot uk
set nocount on
go
-- example date in in British date format
set dateformat dmy
go
use tempdb
go
create table foo( bar varchar( 30 ) not null )
go
insert into foo( bar ) values ( 'fishy' )
insert into foo( bar ) values ( '19/07/2007' )
go
-- this works fine in all versions - only valid dates are passed to the convert function
select
convert( smalldatetime, bar, 103 ) as bardate
from
foo
where
bar like '__/__/____'
go
-- this works on SQL 2000, but fails on SQL 2005 SP2 (I've not tried other SPs of SQL 2005):
-- Msg 295, Level 16, State 3, Line 2
-- Conversion failed when converting character string to smalldatetime data type.
--
-- I believe the query is rewritten as if the derived table query contained
-- "and convert( smalldatetime, bar, 103 ) < getdate()"
-- which would expose the convert to the invalid data
select
*
from
(
select
convert( smalldatetime, bar, 103 ) as bardate
from
foo
where
bar like '__/__/____'
) as derived
where
bardate < getdate()
go
-- Workaround:
-- Use a case statement to protect the convert operator from the invalid data
select
*
from
(
select
case when bar like '__/__/____' then
convert( smalldatetime, bar, 103 )
else
null
end as bardate
from
foo
where
bar like '__/__/____'
) as derived
where
bardate < getdate()
go
drop table foo
go
The workaround I discovered is simple but ugly. I invite your comments...

Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 7.0. I have a job which runs DTS packages (1 package per step). When a task fails within my DTS package, I'd like an error returned for that step in the job thus stopping the job and not starting up the next step (DTS package) in the job. As it stands right now, if a task fails within the DTS package, that step in the job still returns a successful completion. Has anyone seen this before and is there something I can do to get the DTS to send a failure for that step in the job?
Thanks in advance,
Darrin

I am going to be moving multiple databases to a new server. Everything should go smooth, but I need to change a lot of the DTS packages that reference the old servername and replace it with the databases DNS record.
Is there an easy way to get a list of which dts reference the old server explicitly (not using database DNS)?
Thanks.

New to 2000, I used EM to register the SQL server and the name is in the format of Server nameSQL Server Name. In SQL Sever 7.0 I always had one name which is my preference. How do I do this. I also am having trouble using a ODBC connection and connecting to SQL Sever from EM from other computers. I am wondering if the problem is the name format?

I have a database that runs sql 7. Most of our workstations are running on a windows 98 platform, however, a few are running windows 2000. I am trying to set up a new sql registration in enterprise manager, but the connection is failing. All of the 98 machines are logging in with a sql user name, but I was told to log the 2000 machine as a NT server. If you can understand what my problem is, could you please advise me?

Hello,
Can anybody tell me how many steps it's possible to put in one job.
The reason I ask is that we have a job that has over 500 steps (import data from Excel file into SQl table) and every time it runs we have different steps failures.
Does fact, that excel file was dropped and recreated, change DTS Id ?
Thank you in advance

Here is an interesting problem I can't figure out. I have a job with 6 steps as follows:
Step 1 - Import text file 1
Step 2 - Import text file 2
Step 3 - Delete all data from address tables 1 and 2
Step 4 - Copy data from imported table 1 to address table 1
Step 5 - Copy data from imported table 2 to address table 2
Step 6 - Delete imported taxt file table 1 and 2
Now when I run each of these steps individually, like running the dts packages and stored procedures my self it all works fine and the data in my tables appears to update. Then, when I set the job to run automatically, it says completed and no errors but my data hasn't updated. The job must be doing what it is meant to as it took about 40 seconds which is normal.
Ever seen this problem before?

Hello,
SQL Server 2005 Enterprise and new hardware have been ordered for our department. We currently run SQL Server 2000 (sp4). We have almost 500 DTS packages, 293 Jobs, and 14 user databases with hundreds of objects within.
Is there any documentation out there on how to scrutenize a current system? I have searched, and most of what I can find addresses migration planning with the assumption that the databases, packages, jobs, security, etc are ready to move over. We have a lot to think about before we can do that. We know we have redundancy problems (like View proliferation), table schema issues, obsolete DTS packages and Jobs, and otherwise a host of opportunities to 'clean house' and/or improve. We would really like to get a handle on what we are migrating before we migrate.
If you have any ideas or resources to you feel would be worth looking at, please share.
Thank you for your help!

Generally speaking when you want to optimise an application that relies on a database which is the order of the following optimization techniques
a) optimizing the spread of the pysichal elements of the database on different disks of the server
b) optimizing the use ot the RAM
c) optimizing the SQL
d) opimizing the OS
Thank you,

I've created SQL Server Agent jobs through management studio on SQL Server 2005. I can view and edit these jobs when I am logged into the server via remote desktop, but when trying to administer these jobs through Management Studio on a different machine, the steps do not appear in the job properties window.
Anybody else see this behavior? Know why it occurs? Is it a bug, or another wonderful "feature" of Manglement Studio?
