Hi,
I am evaluating Lumigent's Entegra for doing security and business
audit of some of the critical database(s) in the company I work for. I
would like to know what has been your experience in using this product
for doing similar audits in your company, if you have also done such
audits.
Thanks,
Sanjeev
Hi, I'm creating a dynamic SQL statement in MS SQL Server that is similiar to this:
EXEC('IF @' + @current_column + ' (SELECT ' + + @current_column etc...
I'm basically looping through a large list of parameters that correspond to column names. However, since SQL Server treats EXEC() as its own scope when it gets to what "@' + @current_column" evaluates to it says the parameter must be declared.
Is there a way to convert "@' + @current_column " into the actual value of the parameter?
We recently moved from v6.5 to v7.0. Now I have the databases and logs set to "autogrow". How can I monitor the disk space to ensure I do not run out of room (or is that preset as to how large it can grow ?). Can't find anything in the books online. Do I do this through the NT admin tool or through the SQL*Server Enterprise Manager and more importantly - how ???
Thanks so much for any help...

Our Business partners request me to read the field names from a SQL table dynamically so that my SSIS package will not get impacted if Web Service hosts make a change.
Is there a way to evaluate a string at runtime that contains a field name ?
Thanks,

Greetings my SQL friends.
Why do I get an error message saying that the following expression won't evaluate?
"Select * from Price_grp where price_grp_id >= " + (dt_str, 10, 1252) @[User::MIN_PRICE_GRP_ID] +
" and " + (dt_str, 10, 1252) @[User::MIN_PRICE_GRP_ID] + " > 0"
Thanks for your help in advance.
I have been looking all over for some info about other people having this problem, but haven't found anything.
I have a package that needs to download a dated file from an ftp site. I am using a couple script objects to set variables, and one of them is the filename based on the date. I use an expression to get the date:
@[User::varFileName] = (DT_WSTR,4) Year( GetDate()) + (DT_WSTR,2) Month( GetDate()) + Substring((DT_WSTR, 29) GETDATE(), 9, 2)
Everything works really well when I am debugging it locally. However once it is on the server or even once I come back to it in a day or two, I am still seeing the old date. I thought it might be because my variable needed to be set to evaluateexpression = true, however once I did this it hung me and prevented me from debugging and I had to end bus dev studio. Not sure if its because it is being evaluated in two places (as a global and then in a script) but when I took it out of my script it hung again. Its strange in order to get it to work when I am debugging it locally I have to go to each process and evaluate the expressions in there, then it seems to work. thanks!
Hi all€”I'm new to expressions, and am trying to write one where I can evaluate if a field is null, to handle it by inserting a default value if a null value is found. Given this table definition:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Meter Readings_stage](
[Meter System ID] [varchar](8) NOT NULL,
[Reading Date/Time] [datetime] NOT NULL,
[Meter Status] [varchar](50) NULL,
[Totalizer] [float] NULL,
[Secondary Totalizer] [real] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Secondary Totalizer2] DEFAULT (NULL),
[Demand] [real] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Demand2] DEFAULT (NULL),
[Demand Date/Time] [datetime] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Demand Date/Time2] DEFAULT (NULL),
[Reading Type] [varchar](30) NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Reading Type2] DEFAULT (NULL),
[Comments] [varchar](200) NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Comments2] DEFAULT ('None'),
[Checked?] [bit] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Checked ?2] DEFAULT ((1)),
[Estimate Required] [bit] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Estimate Required2] DEFAULT ((0)),
[Hold] [bit] NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Hold2] DEFAULT ((0)),
[Processed?] [bit] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Meter Readings_Processed2] DEFAULT ((0))
I am importing data from a CSV file where any of the fields can be null. The format is as follows:
[Meter System ID],[Reading Date],[Reading Time],[Totalizer],[Demand],[Demand Date],[Demand Time], [Reading Type]
I need to handle it something like the following in a derived column transformation, where:
[Meter System ID]: string [DT_STR]
[Reading Date]: database date [DT_DBDATE]
[Reading Time]: database time [DT_DBTIME]
[Totalizer]: float [DT_R4]
[Demand]: float [DT_R4]
[Demand Date]: database date [DT_DBDATE]
[Demand Time]: database time [DT_DBTIME]
[Reading Type]: string [DT_STR]
This is what I have built so far:
NULL((DT_DBDATE)("Reading Date")) ? (DT_DBDATE)(GETDATE()) : (DT_DBDATE)("Reading Date")
I am getting an error on the cast conversion, however. Where is the error in the evaluation?
Thanks,
Jon
Hello all,
I currently have a pain in the butt with a subquery that needs to be evaluated, and if the result gives me a null value, I want to re-evaluate the condition and fill the column with the proper information.
I'll try to explain it as best as I can:
The query retrieves information from 2 tables basically, but i do need some inner joins of diferent tables in order to follow the relations..
I got 2 conditions that need to be acomplished, the 'typeof' (intId_Tipo) has to be diferent from 6 and a keycode equals to 3.
For the "general query" i do filter this just fine, but in the subquery is where I get stucked:
Since the evaluation that I do in oder to find the initial point is just by substracting 1, there are some cases where the type called intId_Tipo is actually 6 and the subquery returns me a null value.
In this particular case I want to substract 2..if not I just want to substract 1.
I added a SQL CASE in oder to evaluate the null value, but it is not evaluating properly, why? I'm not sure, I need your help and recomendation guys
Here's the query that I currently have: (the comments were made in order to take the next screenshot)
Code Snippet
SELECT --h.dt_Lectura,
--h.int_Velocidad, rp.int_VelMaxima,
(SELECT intpunto FROM tblRecorrido_Puntos WHERE intPunto = case when (intPunto) is null then rp.intPunto - 2 else rp.intPunto -1 END AND rp.intId_Ruta_Ramal =intId_Ruta_Ramal AND intId_Tipo =rp.intId_Tipo) as PuntoInicial,
rp.intPunto as PuntoFinal
--rp.strDescripcion_Punto as DescripcionPuntoFinal,
--1 as Contador
--a.idRuta_Guid, a.idRamal_Guid,a.idUnidad_Guid, a.idOperador_Guid
FROM tblHistorico h
INNER JOIN tblAsignaciones a
ON a.id=h.intIdAsignaciones
INNER JOIN tblRutaRamal_Generado rrg
ON rrg.id_Ruta = a.intRuta_Asignada
INNER JOIN tblRecorrido_Puntos rp
ON (rp.intId_Ruta_Ramal =rrg.intId_Ruta_Ramal AND rp.intPunto=h.int_PtoDest)
WHERE (
h.int_ClaveTDE =3 and rp.intId_Tipo <> 6
)
ORDER BY rp.intPunto ASC
Here's the screenshot of the query result: http://img218.imageshack.us/my.php?image=consultahd0.jpg
Any help is appreciated!
Jaime,
I want to do some error checking on the parameters found in a SQLDataSource before I run the insert. The problem is these are ControlParameters and I want to do this dynamically so I can't just call the Control.Text property and grab its value. So how can I get access to what the ControlParameter evaluates to?
Secondly, is there a way to access what the update parameters evaluate to in order to check them before they're inserted - if so how do I get access to these?
Here's an example of one of the data sources i'm using:<asp:SqlDataSource ID="sqlContact" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:strConn %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [ContactID], [FirstName], [LastName], , [Address], [Phone], [Grade], [Contacted], [ListServe] FROM [Contact]"
UpdateCommand="UPDATE Contact SET FirstName = @FirstName, LastName = @LastName, Email = @Email, Address = @Address, Phone = @Phone, Grade = @Grade WHERE ContactID = @ContactID"
DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM [Contact] WHERE ContactID = @ContactID"
InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [Contact] ([FirstName],[LastName],,[Address],[Phone],[Grade],[Contacted],[ListServe]) VALUES (@FirstName,@LastName,@Email,@Address,@Phone,@Grade,0,0)">
<UpdateParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="FirstName" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="LastName" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="Email" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="Address" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="Phone" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="Grade" Type="String" />
</UpdateParameters>
<InsertParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter Name="FirstName" Type="String" ControlID="txtContactFirst" PropertyName="Text" />
<asp:ControlParameter Name="LastName" Type="String" ControlID="txtContactLast" PropertyName="Text" />
<asp:ControlParameter Name="Email" Type="String" ControlID="txtContactEmail" PropertyName="Text" />
<asp:ControlParameter Name="Address" Type="String" ControlID="txtContactAddress" PropertyName="Text" />
<asp:ControlParameter Name="Phone" Type="String" ControlID="txtContactPhone" PropertyName="Text" />
<asp:ControlParameter Name="Grade" Type="String" ControlID="ddlContactGrade" PropertyName="SelectedValue" />
</InsertParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
An Event is fired when I click add on a button which looks similar to this:
//Add btnAddContact_Clickprotected void btnAddContact_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
InsertRow(sqlContact);
}The InsertRow() function is then what i'm using to evaluate the values... So how can get the values those controlparameters actually are in order to evaluate them before I actually insert. Or is there a better way to do it?
Hi
I'm updating an old Access application to SQL Server and am currently trying to decipher one of the reports on the old application. It appears to be evaluating a derived column from one query (qryStudentSuspGroup.Suspension) in the Select statement of another. I have tried to put the query that creates the derived column in as a nested query into the other query but can't get it to work. This is all a bit beyond my rudimentary SQL skills! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The original Access SQL appears below:
SELECT [Enter the academic year (4 digits)] AS [input], ResearchStudent.Department, ResearchStudent.DateAwarded,
ResearchStudent.StudentNumber, Person.Forenames AS fore, Person.Surname AS Sur, ResearchStudent.Mode,
ResearchStudent.RegistrationDate, StudentExamination.Decision,
IIf(([Suspension]) Is Null Or [Suspension]=0,([DateAwarded]-[RegistrationDate])/365,(([DateAwarded]-[RegistrationDate])-([Suspension]))/365) AS CompDate,
ResearchStudent.EnrollmentCategory, qryStudentSuspGroup.Suspension
FROM ((ResearchStudent LEFT JOIN Person ON ResearchStudent.ResearchStudentID = Person.PersonID)
LEFT JOIN qryStudentSuspGroup ON ResearchStudent.ResearchStudentID = qryStudentSuspGroup.ResearchStudentID)
LEFT JOIN StudentExamination ON ResearchStudent.ResearchStudentID = StudentExamination.ResearchStudentID
WHERE (((Year([DateAwarded]))>=[Enter the academic year (4 digits)]
And (Year([DateAwarded]))<=([Enter the academic year (4 digits)]+1))
AND ((IIf(Year([DateAwarded])=[Enter the academic year (4 digits)],Month([DateAwarded])>8,Month([DateAwarded])<9))<>False))
ORDER BY ResearchStudent.Department, ResearchStudent.Mode, ([DateAwarded]-[RegistrationDate])/365
I have two int fields in my database, CEOAnnualBonus and CEOBonus, and I want to return the value of whichever one has the larger value as CEOBonusCombined. I thought using COALESCE would do the trick like below but there are many cases where either CEOAnnualBonus or CEOBonus have a zero value instead of NULL and it doesn't work.
SELECT
COALESCE(CEOAnnualBonus, CEOBonus)
AS CEOBonusCombined
FROM tbenchmarktemp
WHERE Ticker='F'
Thanks for any help

madhivanan asks for sample table data to avoid using a cursor. I could really use this, so here is the table
CREATE TABLE #T (
FORMULA VARCHAR(15),
ANSWER decimal(15,8)
)
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1.0 + 2', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1/2', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1/2+2', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '1/(2+2)',NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '3*7.5', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '3/2*.6-2', NULL
INSERT INTO #T SELECT '(1-1)', NULL
SELECT * FROM #T
-- RUN THE MATH FUNCTIONS, UPDATE THE TABLE'S ANSWER COLUMN WITH THE ANSWER
SELECT * FROM #T
DROP TABLE #T
I would expect this output:
FORMULA ANSWER
====================
1 NULL
1.0 + 2 NULL
1/2 NULL
1/2+2 NULL
1/(2+2) NULL
3*7.5 NULL
3/2*.6-2 NULL
FORMULA ANSWER
====================
1 1.00000000
1.0 + 2 3.00000000
1/2 0.50000000
1/2+2 2.50000000
1/(2+2) 0.25000000
3*7.5 22.50000000
3/2*.6-2 -1.10000000
(1-1) 0.00000000

I have a table with some examples below. I need to identify records where:
1. the person has 3 or more consecutive months ordered.
2. I then need to exclude the first and last month and capture only those Months in between.
PERSON ID MONTH ORDERED
JD12345 4
JD12345 7
JD12345 8 Note: JD12345 should be excluded entirely
[code]....
What will be the best way to write this code? I have the following code:
BEGIN
declare
status_sent as nvarchar(30)
SET NOCOUNT ON;
case status_sent =( select * from TableSignal
[Code] ...
then if Signal Sent.... do the following query:
Select * from package.....
if signal not sent don't do anything
How to evaluate the first query with the 2 options and based on that options write the next query.
