HOW TO GET A FILE'S CREATE DATE??
From SqlServer I need the create date of a file on C or D.
Is there a function or code to retrieve the create date,
or an API that could read and pass back the file's creation date???
Does anybody know how to create/modify a file without using one of the system stored procedures?
Thanks
How can I get file created date of a text file using TSQL.
Thank You

The subject line says it all. I need to be able to do a comparison on a file's date and time to see if it is stale or not.

On Administrator session, I have created an CUSTOMER MSDE database. That's OK.
On user session, I want to access on my database CUSTOMER but I have on error : "Unable to connect to the database". And, in French : "Echec de la connexion de l'utilisateur Machine_Name/User_Name".
What is the error ? I don't know what to do any more.
How to give right to the user ? Have you an idea ?
Thank's.

Hi,I'm a newbie to sql server and this may be a really dumb question forsome you. I'm trying to find some examples of sql server triggers thatwill set columns (e.g. the created and modified date columns) if the rowis being inserted and set a column (e.g. just the modified date column)if the row is being updated.I know how to do this in oracle plsql. I would define it as a beforeinsert or update trigger and reference old and new instances of therecord. Does sql server have an equivalent? Is there a better way to dothis in sql server?Thanksericthis is what i do in oracle that i'm trying to do in sqlserver...CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER tr_temp_biubefore insert or updateon tempreferencing old as old new as newfor each rowbeginif inserting then:new.created_date := sysdate;end if;:new.modified_date := sysdate;end tr_temp_biu;

I got a DATE question here... In Oracle, all dates are based upon a fixed point in time. So internally a specific date is stored as a REAL number (which is something like the number of seconds from that specific date onwards).
How can I change that start date upon which all dates in Oracle are based?
SQL Server 7 has something similar. How can I change the start date for SQL Server?
Thanks,

In my Derived Column Transformation Editor I have something like this:
DAY([Schedule]) + MONTH([Schedule]) + YEAR([Schedule])
where [Schedule] is a database timestamp field from a OLEDB Datasource.
I want to produce a string something like: "DD/MM/YYYY"
using the expression above, I get something really wierd like "1905-07-21 00:00:00"
Help much appreciated!
I know how to modify the logical file name: ALTER DATABASE SATutorial
MODIFY FILE (NAME = Tutorial, NEWNAME = SATutorial_data)

How would I modify the physical file name from (e.g.) Tutorial.mdf to SATutorial_data.mdf?
TIA...

Hello,

View 7 Replies View RelatedHello, I have gone to work for a new company and I have seen this company is running out of drive space on a daily basis. The DBA before me created huge databases. For example we have a database that it's created size is 103 GB. Only about 52 GB is ever needed. I know you can resize the tempdb but how about user databases? I have never tried this. Can this be done for a user database?
For tempdb
Start SQL from cmd line sqlserver -c -f -s%instance_name%
alter databse tempdb modify file
(name='tempdev',size=150)
I have a report which queries events occurring during the reporting time frame the user selects.
A user selects arrivalDateStart as 8/1/2015 and arrivalDateEnd as 12/31/2015 and the results are returned.
The issue is that there is an event that began 7/31/2015 and ends 8/2/2015. This does not appear on the report. The user does not want to have to pick an earlier arrival date as the parameter of his report to pick up anything that was already in progress prior to the beginning of the month.
I am trying to figure out how to add an expression that will also return events that are in progress over the arrival date chosen for the report.
We are running into the following error while changing a column data type from nvarchar (1200) to varchar(8000)
"Msg 1105, Level 17, State 2, Line 1
Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.TBL1 '.'PK_CL_ID' in database 'Client01' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup.
The statement has been terminated."
Now tried to change the filegrowth of the log file to unlimited
ALTER DATABASE Client01
MODIFY FILE ( NAME = Client01_log, MAXSIZE = unlimited);
The query executes without error but I do not see the auto growth as unrestricted. It's still 2GB
I can run this command to make changes for 1 DB USE [master]
GO
ALTER DATABASE [DBName] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N'Name_log', FILEGROWTH = 10000KB )
GO
Is it possible to create a script which changes log file size to let's say 100MB for all DBs in all servers instead of running the above command by logging into each server? We have about 200 servers and close to 3000 DBs.
Is there a way to modify the RSReportServer.config file with a Web Service call. We want to install an app and have it modify the Renders. We want to remove the Tiff export for example. We also want to add simple headers to Excel. Right now we have to open the file and then make our edits.

go
I can acceed to the properties of my object DTS.package @obj but I don't know how to acceed to the properties of my first connection (I made a import with DTS Wizard from a flat data file to a database table (SQL Server). I need to change the filedir dynamically. It would be in the datasource or datafile property of this connection.
How can I change this fiel directory ???

I installed sql 2005 a while back. Then I recently found out my file system was fat32 (I don't understand why the hardware people did this...) and I had to convert to NTFS. Naturally the sql service no longer worked so I uninstalled inorder to reinstall now I can't reinstall it I keep getting this message
native_error=5039, msg=[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size.
I'll try to post the full log in a new post.
Hi,
Basically the above is a very common requirement, please comment on my solution which I've arrived at by searching through the web; -
In summary I have used 3 SSIS components these are "Flat File Source", "Derived Column" and "SQL Server Destination".
1) File Connections Manager Editor
1.1) Within File Connections Manager Editor; -
Name the data type e.g. "INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC"
and assign a type to the data type e.g. string[DT_STR]
1.2) Click on the Preview button to ensure the expected text is assigned to the expected data type.
2) Derived Column Transformation Editor
2.1) Assign Derived Column Name, e.g.
INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE
2.2) Select <add as new column> within Derived Column.
2.3) Enter the conversion Expression, e.g. ; -
2.3.1)
(SUBSTRING(INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC,8,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC,5,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC,1,4))
2.3.2)
Since the above conversion is such a common task I suggest that Service Pack 3 of SQL Server 2005 delivers the following functionality; -
STRINGTODATE ('YYYYMMDD',INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE_SRC)
2.4) Select "database timestamp [DT_DBTIMESTAMP] " as Data Type.
2.5) Within the Mappings tab of the SQL Destination Editor have; -
Input Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE and
Destination Column as INTERCHANGE_NET_APP_DATE.
Please comment on the above, I will then pass on my suggestion to Microsoft.
Thanks in advance,
Kieran.
I asked this question below, but the answer was that the conversion will take place automatically, but I can't get that to happen. I have a flat file with an 8 position field that I identify as string (and I also tried date) that is yyyymmdd and it needs to go into the database field that is datetime format. IS there something I am doing wrong with the definition of it, or do I need to add some kind of conversion, and if so, what and how would that be done. I'm a dts Sql2000 expert, but the SSIS thing is driving me crazy. I have a ton of dts' to convert and the migration tool doesn't work because there are a lot of active X scripts in them. thanks for your help. Boston Rose

I have used the copy database wizard, but I realized I had forgotten to shrink the transaction log file. So I canceled the wizard. My database, detached by the wizard, has now disappeared. The mdf file is still there, but when I try to attach it manually I get the "create file encountered operating system error 5 while attempting to open the physical file..." error.
Any way I can recover it?
Thanks.
Every day we are restoring prod DB in Development env. I need to save before restore users stored proc,

Hello friends,
I have the following (simplified):
1. Flat File Source
2. Conditional Split, Case Good = !ISNULL(KEY) Case Error = ISNULL(KEY)
3. Case Good -> Writes to Good Flat File (with timestamp in the title)
4. Case Error -> Writes to Error Flat File (with timestamp in the title)
Most job runs have no errors but the error file is created as a zero byte file anyway. If there are no error records I don't want the error file created. How might I accomplish this?
Thanks
I am trying to resize a database initial log file from 500M to 2M. I€™m using€?
ALTER DATABASE <DBNAME> MODIFY FILE ( NAME = <DBLOGFILENAME, SIZE = 2 ) "
And I'm getting "MODIFY FILE failed. Specified size is less than current size." I tried going into the database properties and setting the log file to 2M, but it doesn€™t keep the changes.
Any help with this process?
I have a ssis package where I need to have excel destination. Â In the Excel file, I need to have few rows with some text and then populate data below the text. One the text is like this:
Data as of: Â 08/25/2015
if the report ran today, then Data as of will have Yesterday. So, if the user opens that excel file after a week, then user should see same  Data as of:  08/25/2015. not today()-day(1).
I was planing to handle on excel side with today()-day(1). but it only works the day it was run. Then the excel file is open after few days later, then it might as Data as of:  08/30/2015 which is not true. It should still stay Data as of:
 08/25/2015 on what ever date the excel file is open. The SSIS package  runs only once.Â
How do I handle this so that whenever user open the file, they will see Data as of:  08/25/2015. This is not a column in excel. It is like a description of data in excel.
Executed as user: S233683-AD01S233683NJ3SQL05. ...at file already exists.' [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 22048) Â ERROR -- Could not backup database: master - BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 50000) Â xp_create_subdir() returned error 183, 'Cannot create a file when that file already exists.'

I would like to set up a batch file that will copy a SQL Server
backup file from the local drive to the network drive. I would
like to append the file date to the end of the copied file. I
assume a batch file can accomplish this but I am new to batch

Thank you!
I need to create the following date using sql.
I want the month and day to be 07/01 but for the
year I need the current year.
I thought I could do something like '07/01/' + YEAR(getdate())
but this error.
Thanks
Hi,
I want to write a query that returns me the first date of the month...
I wrote this query
SELECT DateAdd(day,- Day(GetDate()) + 1,GetDate())
THis works fine for me, is there any function that build a new date, without using the DateAdd function?
Hi,
I need to set up create a package so that I could check the date of the files posted in a folder, e.g. H:source. If there is no file created later than one day exists, then continue to check again one hour later. If files do exists, then copy then to c:dest and then upzip the files. Once this is done, sent an notification email to user@mydomain.com.
Thanks,
