FROM Clause Requiring Username References?!
Apr 27, 1999
We installed SQL7 over the weekend. Everything was working peachy through yesterday. This morning SQL server is requiring all of the queries to require references to the username in the from clause...
For example
"Select * from mytable" used to work fine. Not it requires "select * from username.mytable"
I'm logged in as the same username, which is the DB Owner as well. Any idea why this is happening all the sudden?
TIA

I got the following problem to solve in TSQL. I don't want to use a cursor. But with the set based solution I am stuck.
Here is my problem:
DECLARE @tmp TABLE (CustomerID INT, CustomerLink INT, PRIMARY KEY(CustomerID))
INSERT @tmp
VALUES(100001,0)
,(100002,100001)
,(100003,100001)
,(100004,100003)
,(100005,100006)
[Code] ....
Desired result:
[CustomerID of a group member],[smallest CustomerID per Group]
|(GroupID)|CustomerID|CustomerLink|
|100001 |100001 |100001 |
|100001 |100002 |100001 |
|100001 |100003 |100001 |
|100001 |100004 |100001 |
|100005 |100005 |100005 |
[Code] .....
doesn't work for crossreferences :.(
RESULTSET:
CustomerID CustomerLink
100001 100001
100002 100001
100003 100001
100004 100001
100005 100005
100006 100006 --wrong
[Code] .....

Hi, I'm having a rough weekend and really need some advice. We've been having some problems with our SQL Server ever since an upgrade to SQL 2K and then were moved by the IT security people to a new domain that is not in a trust relationship with the domain the SQL Server is on. After the move, attempts to log into a CMMS application we use, called Maximo, are failing. The error indicated that the user's domain login isn't trusted with the SQL Server. This is odd, because we use SQL Server Authentication and each user has a different username on the SQL Server and shouldn't care about the domain login, so I don't know why it's even being passed. This application has been working fine on SQL Server 7 for the past 3 years.
Our SQL Server is setup for Mixed Mode (set during installation and verified in Ent Mgr) and the clients are using ODBC to connect with TCP/IP port 1433 (setup with the client configuration in the ODBC properties) using SQL Server Authentication. The problem is that the settings seem to be ignored and it's using Windows Authentication only, which is a major problem. All of the grants are given to the SQL Server user by the Maximo application and all records are tracked by the login, so we can't use Windows Authentication. I am able to add the user's domain login to SQL Server and give it RW rights to the database and the user is able to login, however unable to run reports because the grants are given to the SQL Server login, not the domain login.
I tried removing the server from the domain it was on and making it a stand alone server, which resulted in the following error:
Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
This is telling me that it's ignoring SQL Server Authentication. I've also tried installing Patch 3a on SQL Server and installing MDAC 2.8 on the client.
Please help, I need to get it running by Monday.
Thanks

Hello--
We have a current situation where analysts will be modeling a variety of problems, all stemming from the same source data (stored in a SQL-Server 2005 relational database).
Analysts that work on the same problem will only have access to:
- A sandbox relational database (which contains views into the same source database). The analyst is db_owner of the sandbox database, so she/he can create data transformations required, etc. The sandbox database contains views to the source database, but the analyst only has read-access to the specific data elements needed from the source DB. So, they are very restricted w.r.t. the source database, but are db_owners of their sandbox relational databases. Note that the analyst will connect to the database via Windows Authentication.
- An Analysis Services sandbox database to use for their modeling, etc. In this AS sandbox db, we've created a role called "Administrator" and checked the permissions: Full control (Administrator), Process database, and Read definition. The analyst's windows account is the "user" associated with this role.
Also, in this situation, the SQL Server 2005 Relational Engine and Analysis Services are running on a single machine. The goal of this security model is to provide analysts with the ability to work in their "workspaces" (both SQL and AS), but not to see other analysts work, etc.
I'm running into a problem when trying to build models using this security model by doing the following:
- Running Visual Studio
- Selecting File -> Open -> Analysis Services Database and choosing the AS DB that I have access to (this is the only one that appears in the drop-down, after specifying the AS server).
- I've created a data source pointing to the relational sandbox DB.
- I've created a data source view choosing the table/view needed for the case table.
- I created a mining structure with a decision tree model
When I process the mining structure, I'm getting the following errors:
- If the data source Impersonation is "Default" -- the error is "The datasource, '<DS name>', contains an ImpersonationMode that is not supported for processing operations."
- If the data source Impersonation is "Use the credentials of the current user" -- the error is the same as "Default" above -- "The datasource, '<DS name>', contains an ImpersonationMode that is not supported for processing operations."
- If I change the data source Impersonation to "Use the service account" and select "OK" in the "Data Source Designer" window, and error comes up with message: "The ImpersonationInfo for '<DS name>' contains an ImpersonationMode that can only be used by a server administrator.
Any suggestions or pointers to help implement this security model to provide analysts with AS and SQL Relational resources for their modeling?
Thanks,
- Paul

I put this together to export the user name /password to a csv file to test my SP to output the user name/password.
DECLARE @user_name varchar(50)
DECLARE @psswrd varchar(10)
SELECT @user_name ,@psswrd
FROM ngweb_bulk_enrollments
EXEC master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'bcp NGDevl.dbo.ngweb_bulk_enrollments out C: est.csv -Sserver1 -T -t, -r

Normally, you establish referential integrity so that foreign key in one table points to a primary in another. Here is a composite key:
(A_ref, B_ref) => (A, B)
Consider a situation where A is a primary key in table T1. It is refered by T2, which has A,B as it's prmary key. An example of this situation would be a table of printers and table of batches a printer has printed at specific date. The batches are identified by Printer, Date, BatchNo within the date. Now, we create a temporary table T3, which addresses "today" batches. The "today" reference is taken from a date is taken from some record in the DB and, combined with the Printer ID and BatchNo, must point to a record in T2. Is it possible to specify such a complex relationship to ensure the referential integrity?
The advantages of the integirty are:
-- the referred records are pinned down from removal
-- it is not possible to refer unexisting object; thus, the referee is ensured to refer an existing one.
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm doing a web application that will get some information from an ERP.
At this moment I have 2 databases:
1) The aspnetdb, where I have the tables for Merbership and Role
2) The ERP database
I need to put my web application tables on one of these two DB's. This tables will reference the users from the membership and some products from the ERP DB.
I will store products requests that will store both UserID (from aspnetdb) and ProductID (from ERP DB). I'm thinking to put these tables on the aspnetdb, so that all web application tables stick together. But, I will loose tha ability to make joins with the ERP database, right?
Do you think this will work? Can someone make some comments about this situation, and give me some tips?
Thank you!

I am currently developing a stored procedure that includes a number of computed fields. Is it possible to reference a computed value, (eg. FLdA), or do I need to CREATE a temp file and then reference the FldA and FldB values. I have simplified my code, it is much more extensive in that there are numerous WHEN clauses attached to each FldA and FldB computation.
SELECT FldA = CASE
WHEN .... THEN CurQty * 1.5
WHEN .... THEN CurQty * 1.75 ELSE 0 END),
FldB = CASE .....
NewValue = CASE
WHEN .... THEN FldA * CurValue
WHEN .... THEN FldB * CurValue
etc.

I have a data list that will grow over time. The values are listed vertically in a column; most recent value at the bottom. I am trying to figure out how to setup a formula to figure out the standard deviation on the most recent 30 values automatically. For instance if the column contains 30 values and I add the 31st value, I'd like to have to have the standard deviation displayed in a cell and automatically shift from calculating on values 1-30 to values 2-31. Is this possible?

How do you add a reference if the assembly you want to reference does not live in C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727? It doesn't seem to make sense that you cannot access the connections the AquireConnection() method serves since the interfaces are defined in Microsoft.SQLServer.DTSRuntimeWrap.dll (in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90SDKAssemblies).
For example the code below works fine, in order to make it work I had to copy DTSRuntimeWrap.dll to v2.0.50727, surely any assembly which is been added to the GAC should be available as a referece?
Public Sub Main()
Dim cmgr As Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.ConnectionManager = Dts.Connections("FTP Connection Manager")
Dim cn As Object = cmgr.AcquireConnection(Nothing)
Dim ftpConnection As IDTSFtpClientConnection90
ftpConnection = TryCast(cn, IDTSFtpClientConnection90)
ftpConnection.Connect()
Dim folders As String()
Dim files As String()
ftpConnection.GetListing(folders, files)
ftpConnection.Close()
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub

Hi everyone,
When you've got -for example- a derived column task linked with a Flat file and then you change any field and come back to derived column task again you have select that field
with two possibilities:
1-€˜Leave as invalid column reference€™ /
2-€˜Delete invalid column reference€™
It€™s easy when just one is affected but when you have eight or ten is very tedious do the same one by one. Any way for to do same but selecting more than one?
Thanks for any input,

Hi All,
I'm pretty new with SSIS. I have written some custom component which will read from flat file and write it into database. Between those processes, there are other processes which will analyse and transform the data being transfered. Everytime, I remove a column from upstream component, I have to go through each component to fix up column reference mapping using Invalid Column References Editor. There are lots of clicking involves just to remove a column from upstream component. My package has about 15 components. I am just wondering, is there anyway for us to prevent that editor to pop up, instead fixing invalid column reference programatically in ReInitializeMetadata?
Thanks,
Will

Hi all,
Would anyone know of any references (online or books) that make it easier for experienced Oracle people to Learn SQL Server. The type of things I'd like to know for example are
The environment for SQL server on a PC (e.g. where the
datafiles are, what's the replacement for tnslistener - general architecture info)
Any significant differences that I'd need to know for creating tables and applications, like what do I use instead of varchar2 for example.
that should get me started.

I need to join 2 tables but the join needs to account for 2 seperate columns.
for example:
select
a. type
a. prod_code
a. prod_type
b. division
from table1 a
left join table2 b
on a. prod_code = b. prod_code
and a. prod_type = b. prod_type
The issue is that you may have only the prod_code or prod_type and null value for the other in table1.
Ideally I want it to check for both then if 1 isn't available then it draws the division of the available. having both or one or the other determines the division it falls under.

I will be pivoting on JobType which is in both datasets and spelled the same. Is there a way to do this or will I have to figure out how to union the tables? If not possible why does it allow you to name the dataset in the expression?

Create table sample3(
id int primary key,

I am working with SQL Server 2005 to create a User Defined Function, however I need to have a web reference to the SQLReportingService2005 web service. I will be distributing this function to my customers so I need this web reference to be dynamic.
Although the webservice says it is dynamic, I do not see a app.config file to place the changing URL. Does anyone know where a dynamic web service pulls the URL from in this case?

Hi There,
Our company deals with financial education and typically has 9 different databases which have some cross referenced stored procedures. Every time we replicate Production database into TEST and DEV environments, we had to manually update the database references in Stored procedures. and it usually takes atleast a week and until then all the dev and test work has to wait.
Hence, I wanted to write a script, Here the code below.
-- These two variables must contain a valid database name.
DECLARE @vchSearch VarChar(15),
@vchReplacement VarChar(15)
SET @vchSearch = 'Search'
SET @vchReplacement = 'Replacement'
/*
-- Select the Kaplan Database Names in the Current Server
*/
DECLARE @tblDBNames TABLE (vchDBName VarChar(30))
INSERT INTO
@tblDBNames
SELECT
Name
FROM
MASTER.DBO.SYSDATABASES
WHERE
Has_DBAccess(Name)=1
And Name IN ( 'DB_DEV', 'DB_TEST', 'DB_PROD', 'WEBDB_DEV', 'WEBDB_TEST', 'WEBDB_PROD' , 'FINDB_DEV', 'FINDB_TEST', 'FINDB_PROD')
--SELECT * FROM @DBNames
IF @vchSearch NOT IN (SELECT vchDBName FROM @tblDBNames)
BEGIN
PRINT 'Not a Valid Search DB Name'
GOTO Terminate
END
IF @vchReplacement NOT IN (SELECT vchDBNAME FROM @tblDBNames)
BEGIN
PRINT 'Not a Valid Replacement DB Name'
GOTO Terminate
END
-- We have Valid DB Names, lets proceed...
--USE @vchReplacement
SET @vchSearch = '%' + @vchSearch + '..%'
SET @vchReplacement = '%' + @vchReplacement + '..%'
-- Get Names of Stored Procedures to be altered
DECLARE @tblSProcNames TABLE (vchSPName VarChar(100))
INSERT INTO
@tblSProcNames
SELECT
DISTINCT so.Name
FROM
SYSOBJECTS so
INNER JOIN SYSCOMMENTS sc
ON sc.Id = so.Id
WHERE
so.XType='P'
AND sc.Text LIKE @vchSearch
ORDER BY
so.name
-- Now, the table @tblSprocNames has the names of stored procedures to be updated.
-- And we have to Some HOW ?!! grab the stored proc definition and use REPLACE() to
-- update the database reference
-- Then, use cursors to loop through each stored proc and upate the reference
Now, I have got stuck how to extract the body of a stored procedure into a variable.
Please Help.... I dont want spend weeks of time in the future to do this work manually.

Is there any way to enforce table references in stored procedures? For Example, we have stored procedures with a ton of different formats, "dbo.table", "table", "db.dbo.table", etc. Can we make it so that for every stored procedure, the reference must be at least "dbo.table"?

Hi
I created a new database called "TestReportServer" as mentioned in the installation instruction but I didn't
see (or could select) the option "Create the report server database in SharePoint integrated mode".
How can I select this option? Do I need to remove the reporing services and reinstall it again? Any suggestions?
After creating the database I get the error 'Some or all identity references could not be translated'.
The user I selected is a local administrator and has permission to all groups starting with wss.
I guess the database is not created as a sharepoint integration mode as I can start Server Management Studio
and see the database. Is that a correct assumption?
I hope somebody out there can help as I am strating to bang my head towards my desk right now :-)

I found a article in StackOverflow saying that if UNION has e.g. two Selects with Where conditions other one will not work. [URL] ....
I have installed SQL Server 2014 and I tried to use tricks mentioned in StackOverflow's article but couldn't succeeded.
Any example how to write two Selects with own Where clauses and those Selects are joined with UNION?

Hello:
Need some serious help with this one...
Background:
Am working on completing an ORM that can not only handles CRUD actions -- but that can also updates the structure of a table transparently when the class defs change. Reason for this is that I can't get the SQL scripts that would work for updating a software on SqlServer to be portable to other DBMS systems. Doing it by code, rather than SQL batch has a chance of making cross-platform, updateable, software...
Anyway, because it needs to be cross-DBMS capable, the constraints are that the system used must work for the lowest common denominator....ie, a 'recipe' of steps that will work on all DBMS's.
The Problem:
There might be simpler ways to do this with SqlServer (all ears :-) - just in case I can't make it cross platform right now) but, with simplistic DBMS's (SqlLite, etc) there is no way to ALTER table once formed: one has to COPY the Table to a new TMP name, adding a Column in the process, then delete the original, then rename the TMP to the original name.
This appears possible in SqlServer too --...as long as there are no CASCADE operations.
Truncate table doesn't seem to be the solution, nor drop, as they all seem to trigger a Cascade delete in the Foreign Table.
So -- please correct me if I am wrong here -- it appears that the operations would be
along the lines of:
a) Remove the Foreign Key references
b) Copy the table structure, and make a new temp table, adding the column
c) Copy the data over
d) Add the FK relations, that used to be in the first table, to the new table
e) Delete the original
f) Done?
The questions are:
a) How does one alter a table to REMOVE the Foreign Key References part, if it has no 'name'.
b) Anyone know of a good clean way to get, and save these constraints to reapply them to the new table. Hopefully with some cross platform ADO.NET solution? GetSchema etc appears to me to be very dbms dependant?
c) ANY and all tips on things I might run into later that I have not mentioned, are also greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
