I am using dynamic filtering on host_name() for SQL 2005 SP1 merge publication. It had been working fine, but something has caused the configuration to stop working.
Setting up the publication and a test subscription via the GUI works fine. However, if I script out the publication and subscription and attempt to run the script (with suitable password), then I get the error
€śa value for the parameter @host_name was specified while publication does not use host_name() for dynamic filtering€?
I did some digging and was curious to find some differences in the information returned by sp_helpmergepublication and the content of dbo.sysmergepublications.
The sp_helpmergepublication output showed expected content after both GUI and script setup €“ with a value of HOST_NAME() for validate_subscriber_info.
The content of dbo.sysmergepublications was as expected after setup via the GUI €“ with a value of HOST_NAME() for dynamic_filters_function_list.
However, I noticed that if I performed setup using scripts the dynamic_filters_function_list value was null.
Further note that the subset_filter_clause value was correct for the filtered article with both GUI and script setup (<column name> = HOST_NAME())
After some experimentation, I found that if I executed sp_changemergearticle to set the subset_filter_clause again (after all the normal publication setup scripts had run) €“ then the dynamic_filters_function_list value in dbo.sysmergepublications became correct €“ and everything started working again.
This looks like a bug to me €“ and although the workaround above seems to work €“ it would be good to know if this is a known issue
If this is not a known issue, then I will attempt to put together a simpler repro than I currently have available.
Hi,I have a question regarding host_name() and IP addresses of clients. I'mrunning on a shared server - so access to xp_cmdshell is barred which is thestandard response to questions about getting the IP address of a client fromsql server. My issue is this:For security reasons every user of our database system logs into our customsecurity system all under the *same* sql-server user name (who only hasaccess to a discrete set of stored procedures). This can't be changed as weare limited to 3 database users. I store the host_name that the user log'sin from when he logs in - and then check the host_name of any further callsto sp's under this login context. I have however just discovered thathost_name() is set in the connection string - so the client can pass prettymuch whatever he wants to - so all an imposter would have to do is *fake*the client name of an existing user. Is there anyway of detecting the *real*client's host? Is there any way of forcing a client to be limited to justone client machine? Can I get hold of the IP address in a reliable way?ThanksNick
I am wanting to limit the amount of rows that are merged between the server and the wm device. Host_name() doesn't seem to be supported in sql mobile. I created a column called host and set the default value as host_name(). I get the table to replicate however when I try to insert into the table on the mobile side I get errors. Is there another option to filter like this or if I hard code a deviceID how can I add this to the filter rows options? Thanks.

I did this thing with host_name(). I'm hoping someone can tell me ifI'm gonna get into trouble with this scheme before it's too late...I have maybe 75 users.They all call on a table of appointments (many thousands) and I dumpthe ones being viewed into a temp table named TaskTEMP.I am using a custom function within a View to grab a bunch of rows inone table and slap them into a single column on the records returnedby the view.Here's where I'm concerned-When I insert the records into the TempTable I insert the valueHOST_NAME() into every row of a column named myMachine.So the row looks like:TaskID aName myMachine1234 Jim Smith Dell1011235 Fran Jones Dell1011235 Mary Cat Dell101When I run the view, I get:TaskID myNames1234 Jim Smith1235 Fran Jones, Mary CatWhat I'm concerned about is when user 2 is looking at the same recordat the same time and inserts the following into TaskTEMP:1234 Jim Smith CompaqXYZ1235 Fran Jones CompaqXYZ1235 Mary Cat CompaqXYZI use the HOST_NAME()filter in the example below to deal with this sothat both user one and user two get what they want instead of:TaskID myNames1234 Jim Smith, Jim Smith1235 Fran Jones, Mary Cat, Fran Jones, Mary CatIt works great in testing. The obvious problem is if two users havethe same machine name, but in this installation business rules preventthat.I hope someone can either validate this approach or improve or trashit before it gets too late with this project.thanks.lqThe view and function look looks like this:SELECT TaskID, dbo.fn_myNameGroup(TaskID) AS myNamesFROM dbo.TaskTEMPGROUP BY TaskIDIDThe function looks like this:CREATE function dbo.fn_myNameGroup(@TaskID as int) returnsnvarchar(500)asbegindeclare @ret_value nvarchar(500)SET @ret_value=''Select @ret_value=@ret_value + '; ' + aName FROM TaskTEMP whereTaskID=@TaskID AND myMachine=HOST_NAME()RETURN RIGHT(@ret_value,LEN(@ret_value)-2)end
I have an Access 2000 MDB file with a SQL 7 back end. I have a main tablewith 50,000 records; and I have a selections table with 50,000 records foreach machine that uses the database (about 25-50). This allows each user tohave their own set of selections.The selections table has three fields: ID (int), Sel (bit), MachName(varchar). ID and MachName comprise the primary key.I have a view that combines the main table and the entries for theselections table for the current machine (SQL below). The view works finewhen opened in EM and QA. And if I create a pass-through query from myAccess MDB file, the results are displayed fine.However, if I link the view to the Access MDB file, I get "#Deleted" inevery field of every record (which seems to indicate that the records werethere and then they were gone). However, if I hard-code the machine nameinto the same view instead of using HOST_NAME and then relink the view tothe MDB file, the linked view opens fine. Only when I use HOST_NAME as aparameter in the view is there a problem with it.Anyone have any idea what's going on here, or have heard of any issues withHOST_NAME and ODBC linked objects? SQL for the view is below.Thanks!NeilSELECT INVTRY.*, InvtrySelections.Sel, InvtrySelections.MachNameFROM dbo.INVTRY INNER JOINdbo.InvtrySelections ONdbo.INVTRY.ID = dbo.InvtrySelections.IDWHERE (dbo.InvtrySelections.MachName = HOST_NAME())
"The HOST_NAME() function returns an nchar value, so you must use CONVERT if the column in the filter clause is of a numeric data type, as it is in the example above. For performance reasons, we recommended that you not apply functions to column names in parameterized row filter clauses, such as CONVERT(nchar,EmployeeID) = HOST_NAME(). Instead, we recommend using the approach shown in the example: EmployeeID = CONVERT(int,HOST_NAME()). This clause can be used for the @subset_filterclause parameter of sp_addmergearticle (Transact-SQL), but it typically cannot be used in the New Publication Wizard (the wizard executes the filter clause to validate it, which fails because the computer name cannot be converted to an int). If you use the New Publication Wizard, it is recommended to specify CONVERT(nchar,EmployeeID) = HOST_NAME() in the wizard and then use sp_changemergearticle (Transact-SQL) to change the clause to EmployeeID = CONVERT(int,HOST_NAME()) before creating a snapshot for the publication."
We have setup a publication with this scenario and by accident a nonconvertable HOST_NAME slipped in when someone tried to create a subscription in the database with the wrong parameters.
The consequence was not only that he failed to create the misconfigured subscription but all our several hundred subscriptions failed to synchronize from this point on.
It's weird that one single subscription causes all other subscriptions to fail (BUG??) but how to resolve this miserable situation?
First thing I tried was to delete the faulty partition via the Publication Wizard but all I got was an nasty error which was also related to the SQL Server trying to convert the partition string to integer.....
The next thing I tryed was setting PreComputed Partitions to false and re-initialize all subscriptions. Also this did not help. All the failed subscriptions continued to fail synching.
As a thing of last resort I changed the article filter to convert the partition key to nvarchar and then compare it to the HOST_NAME() value. Thank god this worked and the existing subscriptions started to synch successfully again.
So my question is: How do you correctly recover in this situation? As it really a wanted feature that one faulty partition causes all subscriptions to fail? Shouldn't it be possible to delete the unwanted partition?
I use SQL Server 2005. I have approx. 50 tables in my database and 30 of them have a filed named "CompanyID". Example: create table A (ID int identity, NAME varchar(100), COMPANYID int)create table A (ID int identity, REF_ID int, FIELD1 varchar(100), FIELD2 varchar(100), COMPANYID int)
Also there are nearly 200 stored procedures that read data from these tables. Example: create procedure ABCasbegin /* some checks and expressions here ... */ select ... from A inner join B on (A.ID = B.REF_ID) where ... /* ... */end;
All my queries in the Stored procedure does not filter the tables by CompanyID, so they process the entire data.
However, now we have a requirement to separate the data for each company. That means that we have to put a filter by CompanyID to each of those 20 tables in each query where the tables appear.
Firstly, I put the CompanyID in the context so now its value is accessible through the context_info() function. Thus I do not need now to pass it as a parameter to the stored procedures.
However, I don't know what is the easiest and fastest way to filter the tables. Example:
I modified the above mentioned procedure in the following way: create procedure ABCasbegin /* some checks and expressions here ... */ -- gets the CompanyID from the context: DECLARE @CompanyID int; SELECT @CompanyID = CONVERT(float, CONVERT(varchar(128), context_info())) select ... from A inner join B on (A.ID = B.REF_ID) where ... and A.COMPANYID = @CompanyID and B.COMPANYID = @CompanyID /* ... */end;
Now I have the desired filter by CompanyID. However, modifying over 200 stored procedures is rather tedious work and I don't think that this is the best approach. Is there any functionality in SQL Server that can provide the possibility to put an automatic filter to the tables. For example: when I wrote "SELECT * FROM A", the actual statements to be executed would be "SELECT * FROM A WHERE CompanyID = CONVERT(float, CONVERT(varchar(128), context_info()))".
I was looking for something like "INSTEAD OF SELECT" triggers but I didn't manage to find any answer.
I would very grateful is someone suggests a solution for something like "global table filter" (that will help me make an easy refactoring)?
I have a table that has a group. In this group, I want to filter by 2 different expressions, concatenated with an OR. BUT I can't change the "And/Or" column value for the first entry because it is grayed out. The column will automatically change to an OR value if both my expression column fields are the same (which I don€™t want) but if I put any other value in to the expression field of the second row, the "And/Or" field of the first row automatically changes to an AND.
PLEASE! How do I get the And/Or field "ungrayed" so I can change it to what I want?
The 2 filters I and using check the UserID = to the user, and the other is checking a count to get the Top N 1. (So just showing the current user and the top producer)

Hi, I am new in framework 2 and I can't find a way to filter the sqldatasource.

I have been running traces in SQL Profiler and have not been able to get the filtering to work correctly. I am interested in capturing only statements that use CPU and have setup the filter for CPU > 0. It still returns all of the rows that have Null. Is there any way of filtering out the rows that have nunll for CPU?
I'm an MDX newbie.. with some help I was able to create a query that returns accurate results. All I need to do now is filter for Completed Work value of greater than 0.

I have an sql script that has 2 main blocks of Where filter which I'd call as Filter1 and Filter2 as follows:
Select DisplayColumns... From InterestingTables Where (Filter1) --W1 AND --W2 NOT --W3 (Filter2) --W4
Note that Filter1 and Filter2 are composite filters (inner filters nested; it shouldn't matter as long as I have the outer parenthesis as above, right?). Now, say SetF1ExF2 is the result set of the sql script above. Additionally, let's say I obtain the result set SetF1 by having W2 to W4 commented out and SetF1AndF2 comes from commenting out W3. Shouldn't the following hold: SetF1AndF2 = SetF1 - SetF1ExF2 I am having a discrepancy between the values with SetF1AndF2 < SetF1 - SetF1ExF2.
I've got an MDX query I need to modify, but not quite sure how to proceed. I essentially know most of tye syntax, but am at a loss as to where the components of the syntax should appear in the query. Here is the original query:
Code:

[Code] ....
This is how I'm sure the two lines that say what should be excluded, I'm just not sure where they should go. I believe a FILTER statement is what I need, but not sure how to format it.

Ok I am experimenting with the data in this database and trying to determine the best way to write this query. I need to find patients that visited in 2005 or 2006 but have not come back since. At first I was doing it looking at patients that have only came in one time ever and that being in 2005 and 2006 but I think I may be missing some patients. I want to narrow it to patients that came in during 2005 and 2006 but have not come back since but I think I am just getting an unduplicated list of patients that visited during those years. Am I on track to do this with the query I have written and if so any ideas?
