Is it possible to force parameters into the reports so enabling me to force a user id value into every report that is picked up from the list. The user ID is a system value and I don't want end users having any knowledge of it?

Hi there,
The postage and packing scheme being used at the site I'm working on depends on the customer's location.
If they're in the UK they get once scheme and if they're in Ireland they get another. Furthermore, if they're anywhere else they get another scheme.
A customer's country is indicated by a 'countryID' stored in the main customer row in the database. (This ID references a country in the Countries table.)
Thus, I was wondering if it is acceptable to hard code the country pk of the UK and Ireland into the formular which works out the postage and packing?
At present, for a similar issue, I've even hard coded the the pk of UK and Ireland into some Javascript running at the client.
Is it fair design to work with a hard coded pk like this?
Cheers,
I thought a stored procedure was taking much too long to complete. So, I moved the main query to Query Analyzer and found that when I substituted actual values for variables that my SELECT statement ran in seconds. Just to test, I created DECLARE statements, set the variables equal to the same values, re-ran the SELECT statement and it took over a minute. Even the Execution Plan was much different. Any suggestions?

We have a hard-coded application which uses the Sa account with no password. We want to add password to Sa – but when we do get users/DBAs calling us saying the application does not work.
How can we add password to Sa and get the application to work - unfortunately we do not have scripts for the application or know of the whereabouts of the developers.
Any suggestions/ideas – will be greatly appreciated

Hi. I've looked all over MSDN, newsgroups and the web but I can't find the answer to a problem that I am having.
The application that I am working on used both transactional and merge replication. I want to avoid hard coding passwords into an application that kicks off the pull replication on the client machine.
The client machines are all using SQL Server 2005 Express. The other machine is running SQL Server Standard. The passwords and login details are specified in the subscription properties in the Management Studio.
A fragment of the code is posted below. The transactional sychronization works fine without having to specify any passwords - however the merge replication does not work if both of the passwords are not specified.
private void SynchButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Set up the subscriber connection details. subscriberConnection = new ServerConnection(subscriberName); try { // Connect to the Subscriber. subscriberConnection.Connect(); // Do the transactional subscription synchronisation independantly of the // merge subscription replication. try { transPullSubscription = new TransPullSubscription(subscriptionDbName, publisherName, publicationDbName, transPublicationName, subscriberConnection); // If the pull subscription and the job exists, start the agent job. if (transPullSubscription.LoadProperties() && transPullSubscription.AgentJobId != null) { TransSynchronizationAgent transSyncAgent = transPullSubscription.SynchronizationAgent; transSyncAgent.Synchronize(); } else { } } catch (Exception ex) { } // Do the merge subscription synchronisation independantly of the // transactional subscription replication. try { // Set up the subscription details for the merge subscription (bi-directional data) mergePullSubscription = new MergePullSubscription(subscriptionDbName, publisherName, publicationDbName, mergePublicationName, subscriberConnection); // If the pull subscription and the job exists, start the agent job. if (mergePullSubscription.LoadProperties() && mergePullSubscription.AgentJobId != null) { MergeSynchronizationAgent mergeSyncAgent = mergePullSubscription.SynchronizationAgent; mergeSyncAgent.DistributorPassword = "<<password>>"; mergeSyncAgent.PublisherPassword = "<<password>>"; mergeSyncAgent.Synchronize(); }etc etc..
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appeciated. Thanks.
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.

I'm trying to insert data into a table from two tables into a single table along with a hard coded value.
insert into TABLE1

VALUES
((select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where
AUTHOR IN (select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where USER_ID
=('USER1'))),(select SYSTEM_ID from TABLE2 where USER_ID

I get the following-
Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.

a web page automatically? How?

But I need to be able to get information from more fields than the field refnr. How can I specify more fields? I need to get other fields from produkter.
Please helt I´m really stucked.

hi, I have NT server which has drive c: 500 MB and drive d has 44 GB.
I know that the person who set up this server did not give enough space to the c drive, here is the problem. I am running sql server 7.0 which has 30 GB of data in the d drive. I need to reconfigure the NT hard drive so I can allocate 2 GB for C drive and 42 GB for D drive.
What is the best, safe method to accomplish this task.

Hi, I'm looking for a way to check the free space left on the hard drives and then if needed send an alert to notify when we need to free up some space. I played around with the performance monitor and realized I could do it that way but I think you would have to leave the performance monitor running all the time and I'm not sure if I want to do that. I also read about the xp_fixeddrives proc that displays how much free space is available but then I don't know what to do from there? Does anyone have any recommendations for the best way to do this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedRight, I have this database that I need to sort, I'll give you an example:
ID Name Value
2312 Sega 200
5678 Blizzard 215
3412 Bullfrog 210
6798 Nintendo 195
Now, what I need to do is to sort it, perform calculations on and I need the list to be sorted with a predefined post as the top result, say like this one time:
ID Name Value
3412 Bullfrog 200
2312 Sega 210
5678 Alizzard 215
6798 Nintendo 195
as you can see sorting it alphabetically would lead to
5678 Alizzard 215
3412 Bullfrog 210
6798 Nintendo 195
2312 Sega 200
(or the other way around if you play with asc/desc)
by id would be
2312 Sega 200
3412 Bullfrog 210
5678 Alizzard 215
6798 Nintendo 195
There aren't any top or bottom values sort of speak for the posts I want to be on top, so...how to sort this like this?
3412 Bullfrog 200
2312 Sega 210
5678 Alizzard 215
6798 Nintendo 195
the order after the top one is irrelevant.
Now...I know I could sort this by doing something like
"Select * FROM blablabla WHERE Name = 'Bullfrog'"
and then doing "Select * FROM blablabla" and then just bypassing that post in asp/php code or whatever, but that would be a pain for me to do as I have to perform some massive calculations and the code would be alot larger then needed be
Its a brain teaser allright...can you help me out?
Hello, everyone:
Does any one have an idea for hard drive configuration on SQL Server 2K? How to determine the RAID level for datafile and log file? Thanks
ZYT
I was wondering if anyone played around with changing the allocation unit size when formatting the hard drive the SQL server is running on. I would think that setting it higher to account for the larger size of the database files would help, but I'm not sure.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Hi there,
I am using this stored procedure in sql.
I have 6 tables. One is called employees. This is what I need to be able to do. A user enters a new employee into a winform, picks a role, division, manager, technicalskill set and applications from the drop down lists and hits save. The employee table should be the only one updated and has these columns only.( firstname, lastname, dvisionid, managerid, roleid,techskillsid, and appID). At the moment what is happening is its saving the firstname, lastname correctly, but the rest of the ID columns are null. It is updating the other tables with the string entered but what I need is the emplyee table to update with the corresponding ids. Is this alot more complicated then i thought? If I try to replace the role with roleid etc, it will just tell me I can't convert string to int which is understandable. How do I do this?
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_InsertEmployee
@Firstname nvarchar(50),
@Lastname nvarchar(50),
@Role nvarchar(50),
@Manager nvarchar(50),
@Division nvarchar(50)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
INSERT INTO EMPLOYEES (FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME) VALUES (@FIRSTNAME, @LASTNAME)
INSERT INTO [ROLE] ([ROLE]) VALUES (@ROLE)
INSERT INTO MANAGER (MANAGER) VALUES (@MANAGER)
INSERT INTO DIVISION(DIVISION) VALUES (@DIVISION)
END
GO
My C# code is like this:
SqlCommand sqlC = new SqlCommand("sp_InsertEmployee", myConnection);
sqlC.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
sqlC.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Firstname", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50, "Firstname"));
sqlC.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Lastname", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50, "Lastname"));
sqlC.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@RoleID", SqlDbType.Int, 50, "RoleID"));
sqlC.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@ManagerID", SqlDbType.Int, 50, "ManagerID"));
sqlC.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@DivisionID", SqlDbType.Int, 50, "DivisionID"));
//sqlC.Parameters[0].Value = 4;
sqlC.Parameters[0].Value = FirstnameText.Text;
sqlC.Parameters[1].Value = Lastnametext.Text;
sqlC.Parameters[2].Value = RolecomboBoxTest.Text;
sqlC.Parameters[3].Value = ManagercomboBox1.Text;
sqlC.Parameters[4].Value = DivisioncomboBox2.Text;
int i = sqlC.ExecuteNonQuery();
//sqlC.ExecuteNonQuery();
Sorry for pasting so much.
Hello, I am experimenting with indexes and hope people can shed lighton some of my problems.I am using SLQ 2000 on Win 2000 Server. Using the following query fordiscussion;--------------------------------SELECT TOP 1000000E.EUN_Numeric, -- Primary KeyE.EUN_CODE, -- VarCharE.[timestamp] --,--E.Model -- Computed column (substring of EUN_CODE)FROM dbo.Z1_EUNCHK E--WHERE E.[timestamp]DATEADD ( wk , -48, getdate() ) AND-- E.[timestamp]< DATEADD ( wk , -4, getdate() )ORDER BY E.[timestamp] DESC-----------------------------------Problem 1) If I set up a single Index on the TimeStamp (plus the PK onEUN_Numeric) then there is not improvement in performance.It is only when I set up an Index on the Timestamp,EUN_Numeric,EUN_Codethen I get a good improvement. This is also thecase with the "where" clause added. I am using query analyser. Theimprovement is 14 secs to 3 secs (mainly with the removal of the sortprocess)Why?My expectation is that if my query uses [timestamp] column then surelyan index only on this is adequate.Problem 2) Introducing the simple computed column into the query takesthe time to 15 secs (with Sort processes involved).Why does revert back to sorting process when previous the index wasused ?Regards JC......

How can I do this with vbscript, or C# ?
- Copy backup files down from a network share, into the data directory of my local sql 2005 instance
- perform a restore using the files copied from above
- Execute a dts package
More info:
Our databases are scripted and exist on the typical development, and testing enviroments. So as I get ready to start a new application, I want my local sql instance to be updated based on structure changes as well as data. So I have to apply the changes from the scripted sources and pull over the data. I would naturally like to automate this.

I have a new server.

Hi guys,
I have a general question. Would SQL server have slower performance if you placed the ldf or mdf files on a dynamic drive setup or should it always be basic? I noticed that a server had 2 dynamic drives and the log files and mdf files are located on these drives. Usually I see all the drives as basic not dynamic. Does this even matter?
thanks
