Soft Delete In Table, Why Merge Agent Report Hards Delete On Table ?
Feb 1, 2007Hi seniors
there are two tables involve in replication let say table1 and replicated table is also rep.table1.
we are not deleting records physically in table1 so only a bit in table1 has true when u want to delete a record but the strange thing is that replication agaent report that this is hard delete operation on table1 so download and report hard delete operation and delete the record in replicated table which is very crucial.
plz let me know where am i wrong and how i put it into right way.
there is no triggers on published tables and noother trigger is created on published table.

Copy And Delete Table With Foreign Key References(...,...) On Delete Cascade?
Oct 23, 2004Hello:
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!

Delete Syntax To Delete A Record From One Table If A Matching Value Isn't Found In Another
Nov 17, 2006I'm trying to clean up a database design and I'm in a situation to where two tables need a FK but since it didn't exist before there are orphaned records.
Tables are:
Brokers and it's PK is BID
The 2nd table is Broker_Rates which also has a BID table.
I'm trying to figure out a t-sql statement that will parse through all the recrods in the Broker_Rates table and delete the record if there isn't a match for the BID record in the brokers table.
I know this isn't correct syntax but should hopefully clear up what I'm asking
DELETE FROM Broker_Rates
WHERE (Broker_Rates.BID <> Broker.BID)
Thanks
Allow Single Row Delete From A Table But Not Bulk Delete
Sep 16, 2013The requirement is: I should allow single row delete from a table but not bulk delete. An audit table should get updated if there is any single delete or single update. So I wrote the triggers as follows: for single and bulk delete
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[TRG_Delete_Bulk_tbl_attendance]
ON [dbo].[tbl_attendance]
AFTER DELETE
AS
[code]...
When I try to run the website, the database error I am getting is:Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates that a COMMIT or ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statement is missing. Previous count = 0, current count = 1.

Am Completely Lost
Jun 10, 2006Hello all let me first start out by saying I suck at SQL. I can do quite a bit with ASP.NET but SQL Server is on area that has haunted me and I have finally decided to bite the bullet and figure this behamouth out.Well here is my first problem, which is the biggest reason I can't seem to understand SQL Server or dataases in general.To have a realtional database you set up tables with foriegn keys and primary keys referenceing the id's like product table has a product name and one of the columns is a user_id displaying the id number of the user in the user table. From what I can tell you are supposed to set up the user_id in the products table a foriegn key to the Primary Key in the user table. I may be totally wrong on this though.Now my biggest question is how do you retrive this information the proper way to get it ready to be displayed in a gridveiw or a datalist? I have been reading SQL Server 2005 for developers and reading online tutorials and it seems like they say you need to set up a relationship and because of the realtionship you don't need to do a join, but I never hear how to use the relationship at all.Please someone help I am so totally lost that i feel like i will never understand. I have spent the last week trying to figure this out and I guess I am just googleing this wrong completely or i am incompentent one of the two.Thank you.

Won't Let Me Completely Install The Server. PLEASE HELP!
May 23, 2005I installed sql2ksp3 from the CD I received in my ASP.net book. The installation went fine and then I went to the DOS prompt and did the setup SAPWD and it ran. I restarted my computer and opened ASP Matrix and went to the Data tab and proceed to connect to the server. It gave me an error message it couldn't connect. So I uninstalled MSDE and made sure the sql2ksp3 folder was gone. So I went ahead and installed the sql2ksp3 from the CD again and then went to DOS to do the setup. It ran through the setup until the very end, saying it couldn't setup the server. I have tried it several times and it always stops around 11 seconds. I have tried to install the download from microsoft instead the CD and that didn't work also. So at this point I am stuck. PLEASE HELP!

Does SQL Work Completely In Memory
Feb 1, 2008Assume you have a query SELECT Column1 from Table WHERE Column2 = 'x' Say you have a non-clustered index on Column2. The engine is going to load the non-clustered index into memory to search for that record then do a lookup to the clustered index to grab column one also but quickly becuase it knows the RowID.. Right?
Is that safe to assume that every table that is queried would need to be in memory? ie the buffer pool? So if I have a table that has 2 million records, any operation on that data requires the table to be in memory?
Can I Have Replication Between Two Completely Different Schemas?
Feb 22, 2007Hi SQL guys,
I have 2 different databases and an import tool that reads from one and fills the other one and then whenever we run it, it should synch the two databases and its kind of a heavy task. I was wondering if i can replace it with replication between these databases. I defined publisher and subscriber, but i cannot find anywhere that i can say which field in source maps to which field in destination.
Is it possible at all to have a replication between 2 databases with totally different schemas? If so, please let me know how.
Thanks,
Sina

DTS Packages Not Migrating Completely
Jun 28, 2007Hi, I upgraded several of my SQL 2000 database to SQL 2005 databases. I'm in the process of migrating over the DTS packages over to SSIS packages. I'm using the DTSMigrationWizard utilty to do this migration. When I started testing the SSIS packages I've discovered that not all the steps were being excuted. So I've noticed on several of the packages not everything migrated over. Such as connections to oracle and some of the task as well did not migrate over. Is there a way to migrate the entire DTS package to SSIS or do I have to re-create the entire package from scratch or is there a better way to get the SQL 2000 DTS packages over to SQL 2005 and have them run successfully?
How Do You Uninstall SQL Express Completely?
May 24, 2008Hello Win XP Pro, SP3 ,.Net 1.1,2.0,3.5, ASP.Net 2.0.
I made the mistake of trying to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services as a requirement to install dashCommerce. That was a big mistake. It never installed and it screwed up my current install of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
I have been trying for two days now to get my SQL Server 2005 Express Edition back to normal. I can't run and test my programs in VS2005 that use SQL anymore and it's keeping me from getting my work done.
I tried uninstalling everything SQL using Add Remove Programs. Deleted all temp, SQL and unneeded files. Ran defrag. Restarted my computer. I did all that three times and still am unable to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
On the existing components screen, i get the message "The following components that you chose to install are already installed on the machine. To view a report of available options and alternatives click on details."
It won't allow me to check any options and when i click next, it gives the error "None of the selected features can be installed or upgraded. Setup cannot proceed since no effective change is being made to the machine. To continue, click Back and then select features to install. To exit SQL Server Setup, click Cancel"
All i can do is cancel out of it.
Any help from anybody to figure out why i can't install SQL Express again would be gratefully appreciated.
This problem is keeping me from doing my work, it's frustrating. Is there a way to totally clean my machine of any SQL so i can get back to doing my job?
Thanks,
Tony

Finding Completely Overlapping Segments
Jun 5, 2008ok folks, I need help.
Here's the table and some sample data:
declare @t table
(
segment int,
subsegment int,
primary key (segment,subsegment)
)
insert @t
select 1,33 union all
select 1,22 union all
select 2,33 union all
select 2,22 union all
select 3,33 union all
select 3,22 union all
select 3,44
What I want is to find all segments that are in some sense complete duplicates of other segments. a segment is made up of subsegments. a subsegment is not a segment - it's a completely different entity. this table is not hierarchical.
So in the sample data above, segments 1 and 2 are dupes because they share exactly the same subsegments: 22 and 33. Segment 3 is not a dupe because it has a third subsegment the other two don't have: 44.
when a duped segment is found, I need to know which other segment it duplicates. so an acceptable result set for the above sample data would be:
segment partner
------- -------
1 2
this would also be fine:
segment partner
------- -------
1 2
2 1
ps: i already posted this on dbforums - just broadening the audience a little.

Concurrent (completely Independent) Statements.
Aug 31, 2007Hi!
We are migrating an DB2 database to sql server 2005. We have used the 1.2 jdbc driver. It consumes lots of memory when we have several resultssets opened on different statments. Then we tried JTDS (http://jtds.sourceforge.net/), it worked fine. It's supports concurrent staments. We would like to stick with microsofts driver. My question is: will we se this supported in microsofts driver (soon)!

Web Service Will Not Completely Run SSIS Package
Oct 20, 2006Hi,
After many days of searching i have eventually been able to set up a web service to call and execute my SSIS package. The SSIS package is set up completely with windows authentication,the web service is run from an application using the same credentials with all necessary access for the SSIS package. I can run the package from the SQL management studio and it works fine, however when i attempt to run it from the web service it appears to work once round the for each loop and then fails for every other time. The error i am getting is as follows:
Executing the query "Set ? = (select max(URC_ID) AS URC_ID FROM
VIEW_A1021_URC
WHERE SerialNumber = ?)
" failed with the following error: "Syntax error, permission violation, or
other nonspecific error". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query,
"ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or
connection not established correctly.
This error doesn't happen on the first iteration, as the package does exactly what it is supposed to do.
Has anyone encounter anything like this before? any help on this matter would be great.
Many thanks in advance,
Grant

Delete Rows In One Table By Referencing Another Table Info
Sep 16, 2004I have one table that has unique id's associated with each row of information. I want to delete rows of information in one table that have a unique ID that references information in another table.
Here is a basic breakdown of what I am trying to do:
Table1 (the table where the rows need to be deleted from)
Column_x (Holds the id that is unique to the various rows of data - User ID)
Table2 (Holds the user information & has the associated ID)
Column_z (holds the User ID)
I tried this on a test set of tables and could not get it to work. What I am trying to do is skip all rows of Table1 that have ID's present in Table2, and delete the rows of ID's that are not present in Table2.
Code:
SELECT Column_z
FROM dbo.Table2
DELETE FROM dbo.Table1
WHERE Column_z <> Column_x
This did not seem to do what I needed, it did not delete any rows at all.
I wanted it to delete all rows in Table1 that did not have a reference to a user ID that matched any ID's in Column_z of Table2
Then I tried another scenerio that I also needed to do:
Code:
SELECT Column_z, Column_a
FROM dbo.Table2
DELETE FROM dbo.Table1
WHERE Column_z = Column_x AND Column_a='0'
'0' being the user id is inactive so I wanted to delete rows in Table1 and remove all references to users that were in an inactive status in Table2.
Neither one of the Queries wanted to work for me in the Query Analyzer when I ran them. It just said (0) rows affected.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here?

SQL Float Operation With Round() Fails Completely
Jul 20, 2005Hi,we found some strange behavior when operating with floats and round().The following simplified statement reproduces the problem.select 6.56 - round(convert(float, 6.56), 2)from sysusers where name = 'public';===========-8.88178419In "real world", the floats are not literals, but float fields in tables.I could figure, that 6.56 - 6.56 will result in something like 0.00001,but -8.88178419 is beyond my imagination.The same statement without round results in 0.Has anyone any clue on this?Regards,Peter
View 5 Replies View RelatedCannot Completely Install/remove SQL Server Express
Jan 20, 2007I cannot use, remove, or reinstall Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Although Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files appear in ControlPanel-ARP, when I attempt to remove Microsoft SQL Server 2005, the workstation component remains. If I try to download and reinstall Microsoft SQL Server Express from the Microsoft website, the download does not install completely as described below.
My current situation is much better than the previous incompatibility or configuration problems I had been experiencing between Microsoft Office Small Buisness Accounting 2006, Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, Outlook Business Contact Manager, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (express edition installed in conjunction with Visual Basic 2005 express), and Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (installed in conjunction with Small Business Accounting 2006). The problems and error messages previously included: 1) A consistent bootup error (Net service configuration error...The specified service does not exist as an installed service); 2) The inability of Visual Basic to connect to an instance of SQL server (An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server...); 3) a SQL server configuration manager error: Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable. Note that you can only manage SQL Server 2005 servers with SQL server configuration manager. Invalid namespace [0x8004100e]; and 4) SQL server management studio express error: Cannot connect to <computername>SQLEXPRESS... An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1).
These problems have been partially solved by: 1) completely removing Small Business Accounting 2006, Outlook Business Contact Manager Update, and MSDE (which appear to be codependent); and 2) removing and reinstalling Visual Basic 2005. However SQL Server still cannot be completely removed or reinstalled and therefore Visual Basic cannot connect to SQL datafiles.
When I most recently tried to remove SQL server 2005 using ARP, the installer reported that only the workstation component remains (Version: 9.00.1399.06 Edition: Express Edition Patch level: 9.00.1399.06), but is not removed by the ARP process. When I most recently tried to install SQL server 2005, the Setup Support Files install correctly, the System Configuration Check passes, but setup fails for MSXML6, SQL Server Database Services, and WorkStation components Books Online (detail log SQLSetup0068 file). According to Add/Remove programs, the following applications are installed:
Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition ENU
Microsoft SQL Server Native Client
Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files (English)
Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer
Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Various MSXML versions
Any help in un/reinstalling or configuring Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for use with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition would be dearly appreciated. Thanks.
