sorry for my question, maybe it seems un professional but I need to know the answer,
is it possible to enter the data in a sql table in a specific format and how it could be?
for example I want to have a mask in the table to enter the data in this format ##.## so it will not accept any other data to be typed in without this format.

I have statement which is comparing a smalldatetime column to literal string as follows:
sales_date ='21-9-2004 0:0:0.000'
when I run the statement in query analyzer it bombs out with:
Server: Msg 296, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The conversion of char data type to smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range smalldatetime value.
If I alter the format of the date literal to '2004-09-21 00:00:00' the statement works.
Is there anyway of forcing the statement to treat '21-9-2004 0:0:0.000' as '2004-09-21 00:00:00' without modifying the statement itself ?
We are having a problem with one of our SQL servers, and in comparing it to the backup server which is working fine, I noticed some differences. I attempted to correct the differences, but no luck.
The dell server has 4 dual-core processors and at one point hyper-threading was enabled. One of our DBAs recommended that it be turned off. We didn't have any major problems until recently and it seems that getting this setting right is the lynchpin. Any suggestions?

I have a table into which users can enter a To and From range, and an application returns all the values in between. Naturally the users can enter to and from values that don't exist, as all they need to do is satisfy a "between" expression. eg they can enter '1100' to '1399' and even though neither value actually exists in the data, the query will return all the values that fall into the desired range.
However the application now demands a bit more of a sophisticated approach. The target data may have the form 'nn-nnnn-nn' where n is '0' to '9', and the user wants to select all the values (in pseudo-code) which satisfy a pattern like '%-7040-%' and '%-7400-%'
A simple LIKE expression with a mask containing a RegEx won't work - ie LIKE '%-7[0-4][0-4]0-%' doesn't work because (eg) '00-7150-00' won't satisfy the mask because of the 5 falling outside [0-4], although it is within the range I want.
I have come up with a solution to this problem by using MIN and MAX aggregate functions on LIKE [From] and LIKE [To] respectively and this works fine. eg
"SELECT A.<something> from <target_table1> A, <table_with_ranges> B WHERE A.<something> BETWEEN (SELECT MIN(X.<something>) FROM <target_table1> X WHERE X.<something> LIKE B.[From]) AND (SELECT MAX(X.<something>) FROM <target_table1> X WHERE X.<something> LIKE B.[To])"
It's actually quite a bit more complicated than that - I have simplified the SQL a bit, but that is the basic algorithm.
The problem is that for the BETWEEN expression to work, both the MAX and MIN functions have to return a value that is not NULL- ie there has to be a value in the target table which satisfies the mask. In the application, this is not always going to be the case - Users will want to create large ranges to allow for future growth so every time they enter new data into target_table1 the don't then have to go out and redfine the [From] and [To] ranges to satisfy the new data. What I really need is an SQL expression along the lines of "SELECT .... FROM ... WHERE A BETWEEN <pattern1> AND <pattern2>" where <pattern1> and <pattern2> contain wildcards.
Anyone got any suggestions??? By the way, using SUBSTRING or other string functions is NOT an option for a variety of reasons.
AnupG writes "hi,
the most common feature that any RDBMS provides should be that if we want to store the data in the MSSQL tables then the data should be presented in masked/formatted like for eg.the password text in field should be like "*****". I am using SQL 2000 but i unofrtunately i couldn't find any such feature in defining the data type in SQL server 2000 ...?"
I have a dual 64 bit quad core server with 16 GB of memory. We are going to run an application server and SQL Server 2005 SP2 CU4 64 bit on this hardware, but we only want to purchase a single CPU license for SQL Server. The obvious choice is to use the affinity settings to prevent SQL Server from using one of the CPUs.
Initially, the development team simply went into SSMS and unchecked affinity mask and affinity io mask for the first four processors. This appeared to work fine in their testing. A problem arose when we started monitoring the maintenance plan and saw that the database integrity check was failing. The root problem was this invalid state that the affinity masks were in.
I have seen a lot of documentation stating the SQL Server will ignore an invalid mask setting, but in our testing, it appears that SQL Server respects the setting. For example, when we set CPU 7 to be available for processing and IO, Performance Monitor showed that only CPU 7 was used during a load test.
So from our preliminary testing, it looks like SQL Server will use a single CPU for both processing and IO if you tell it to. Is there some other reason why these affinity settings need to be mutually exclusive? Is there a test I can run that can illustrate why?
I have a field in my table that is varchar:1500:null, but I cannot enter any more that 994 characters. any ideas why?

giving a use access to enter data into one database table.
I know Access is an option, but I was wondering if there was another, like MS Word or Adobe.
This is a SSMS database, 2008.
I want to, for each month of the year 2014 say, to create a loop that will enter data into a table.
Right now I have:
Select [Member Number],
sum(case when [Receipt Date]='2014/01/01' then Amount else 0 end) as [Rec 2014/01/01]
From [Receipts Table]
Group by [Member Number]
Insert into [Receipts 2014/01/01]
[Code] ....
Instead I would just like to do something like…
Declare i date
For i=2014/01/01 to 2014/12/01
Select [Member Number],
sum(case when [Receipt Date]=i then Amount else 0 end) as [Rec +i]
From [Receipts Table]
Group by [Member Number]
Insert into [Receipts + i]
Don’t know if this is at all possible?
I'm experiencing some problem with the affinity mask and affinity I/O mask configuration.
We are running SQL Server Enterprise Edition 2005 64bit on Windows 2003 Server 64bit with 4 dual core CPU. The actuelly configuration is:
Affinity Mask Affinity I/O Mask
CPU0 0 0
CPU1 0 0
CPU2 1 1
CPU3 1 1
CPU4 1 1
CPU5 1 1
CPU6 1 1
CPU7 1 1
We did it so, because we are running LiteSpeed Tool for the backup. LiteSpeed is configured to use CPU0 and CPU1.
Now, we know that the settings are wrong. If Affinity mask is 1 affinity I/O mask should be 0 and vice-versa.
My question is: how many CPU should I enable for affinity mask and how many for affinity I/O mask. Which are the correct criterias.
Thx in advence.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a column defined as smalldatetime. Default length (4), and "allow NULLS" is checked.In the Enterprise Manager UI, when i enter data into that table row, if i just tab past that column, all is well, and the value is represented in the UI as <NULL>.The problem comes once i ever enter a date into that column. Say i have entered a date (all is well), and now i want to remove that entry and go back to NULL (after the date value has been committed, different entry session, say).How is that done?It seems to me, once a date has ever been entered into that column, now, if i try to remove it, i get the error "The value you entered is not consistant with the data type or length of the column, or over grid buffer limit". I have tried deleting the value, entering spaces, entering the string NULL or the string <NULL>; maybe some other tries as well, but none works, i always get that error message and am not allowed to proceed past that cell until i restore a date value to it. I want to get back to <NULL>.Anybody know?Thank you.Tom

I ran ALTER SERVER CONFIGURATION SET PROCESS AFFINITY CPU = 2,3 that means the SQL server 2012 is using the 2nd and 3rd CPU's respectively..
Now, when I run sp_configure 'affinity mask' I get the config_value as 12, so how it is getting calculated?
is there a code for each CPU?? wanted to know about this.

Hello, I have this Access 2K query that I need to re-create in MS SQLServer 2000, so I'm using the Query Analyzer to test it.One of the Access fields stores the home phone number. In the Accessquery, if the phone number is null, it fills it up with zeroes"000000000." If the phone has an input mask, it only gets the 9 numbers(area code included) and if the phone number's good (all numbers) thenit leaves it alone. That Access query is using immediate ifs toaccomplish that task.Does anyone have any idea how to copy this behavior into SQL Server2000? I've using the CASE statement but so far my code is not correct.I get stuck in the input mask. This is the Access code:HomePhone:IIf(IsNull([HomePhone]),"0000000000",IIf(Left([HomePhone],1)="(",Right(Left([Homephone],4),3)& Right(Left([Homephone],9),3) & Right([HomePhone],4),[HomePhone]))Thanks for all your help.JR.

Hi All
Can u pls tell me How to Get the SQL Affinity Mask value in Sql 2005.
and what is the table/views name that store this info.
for SQL 2000 , we were using following query:
SQLStatement.printf("select c.value from master..sysconfigures c, master..spt_values v,"
"master..syscurconfigs r where v.type = 'C' and v.number = c.config and v.number >= 0 "
"and v.number = r.config and v.name ='affinity mask'");
lErrCode=SQLExecDirect(hStmt,(SQLCHAR*)pszSQLStatement,strlen(pszSQLStatement));
lSQLBindCol(nAffMask);
But With SQL 2005 , we are getting ZERO(0) ROWS SELECTED.
How do I replcae an 'enter' character with a space in a field? This extra spaces entered in the web form while populating the field is causing extra spaces in the field. What is the ASCII value for the 'enter' character? so that we can replace that with a space?

Hi,
I have two tables. Class & Faculty
"Class" table have column names ClassID, SchoolID and FacultyID(FacultyID column have just created therefore there is no data in the column)
"Faculty" table have column names FacultyID, SchoolID
In "class" table every SchoolID have 1 or 2 classID. Whereas in "Faculty" table every facultyID have more than 3 SchoolID.
Therefore when I update the table it only update the rows not entering new rows as per schoolID.
How can we add new rows in the class table according SchoolID,
Because I want to get data in the newly generated column FacultyID in "CLASS" table.
Thanks,

Hi i am trying to enter more than one value into my constructor field in my database, at the moment when the values are entered into the database through the front end, they appear in the database as seperate records however they have the same ID, the only thing that changes is are the data in the fields which i want in just one. This is the part of the stored procedure I am sure is causing this to happen;
IF @Access_Right_ID=8 or @Access_Right_ID=3 or @Access_Right_ID=9 BEGIN DECLARE @Delimiter char(1) SET @Delimiter = ',' DECLARE @CommaPos int SET @CommaPos = Charindex(@Delimiter,@Constructor_IDs) DECLARE @Remaining_Constructor_IDs VARCHAR(8000) SET @Remaining_Constructor_IDs = @Constructor_IDs DECLARE @Constructor_ID int WHILE (@CommaPos>=0) BEGIN
SET @CommaPos = Charindex(@Delimiter,@Remaining_Constructor_IDs) if @CommaPos >0 SET @Constructor_ID = ltrim(rtrim(Substring(@Remaining_Constructor_IDs,1,@CommaPos-1))) else SET @Constructor_ID = @Remaining_Constructor_IDs INSERT INTO tblUser_Constructor ( User_ID, Constructor_ID) VALUES (@User_ID, @Constructor_ID ) SET @Remaining_Constructor_IDs = SUBSTRING(@Remaining_Constructor_IDs,@CommaPos+1,LEN(@Remaining_Constructor_IDs)-@CommaPos) if @CommaPos=0 set @CommaPos = -1 END
(This is prob. a really dumb question but it's driving me mad!!...)
I am using the Debugger in SQL Query Analyzer & want to set the value of a datetime parameter prior to executing the stored proc. The "Debug procedure" window allows me to specify the parameter values - but I can't get it to accept a datetime. The language is us_english & I've tried most ways if specifying the date - 01/02/2004, with/out quotes, 02 Jan 2004, as a full datetime, swapping day/month values etc etc. The procedure always fails immediately with: Invalid character value for cast specification.
