I read on this forum that it is possible to move a device by:
Update the sysdevices table to point to the new location (ex: D:SQLTESTDB.DAT)
Stop the SQL Server
Physically move the file to the new location
Restart the SQL Server.
I have a table with data in it. Now I want to change the Data Type from int to varchar. Is there anyway to do this because I don't want to delete all the data and re-enter it. That seems to be the only way I can see to change the data type. I would appreciate some help. thanks.
Hi. I am not sure why, but i can't change any of the values in my Table Designer. I want to change my primary key's "IsIdentity" value to "yes" and the Identity Increment to "1" but everything is greyed out and nothing is editable. Please help! I am not in debug/run mode when i am editing these values. I have a feeling that I am going to feel stupid when somebody points out what i am (not) doing. So, any takers?
I'm having a bit of a nightmare with MS SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager(running on XP Pro SP2).
Basically I've been running it on my laptop and my desktop with no problems for months and suddenly I can't seem to edit any data in any table?
Basically I'm using Enterprise manager to connect the database which is hosted externally by Fasthosts. I've called them and explain the problem, they told me to increase my Query Timeout to 300 seconds, which I have done but still no joy.
I can open and query tables but when i simply open a table and return all rows, even the smallest of tables (i.e. just 2 rows) as soon as I try and edit even just a field containing a bit of data is just hangs for about a minute until I get the following error;
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Communication link failure
I've again called Fasthosts who assure me that it was working at their end etc and that was about all they could do !! very helpful...
Anyways, does anyone have any ideas ? As I really need to edit some data in the tables for a deadline and this is extremely frustating as it was working just a few days before. I've tried removing SQL server and re-installing but I'm still getting the same problem.
I have a database with tables that are used for various front-ends, Access 97 and ASP. All of a sudden, my "Stores" table will not let me add, edit, delete, insert records. I checked security permissions everywhere and cannot figure out why this is happening. Is there something linked to this that might be running a process that might be causing this?
I need provide some of my users an easy way of accessing a SQL Server table through MS Access so that
they can edit the table.
Please let me know which of the following is more appropriate to accomplish this task.
1. Creating a Data Access Page
2. Creating a Link Table I thought I could it do it though a Data Access Page but I was only able to see the data but not edit it. But, I know there is a way of doing this. Please throw some light on this topic.
I have an existing SQL 7 server named HHARBR. HHARBR has a database namedSPR with a table named "reportname" in it, the table has the name HHARBRembedded the table data.I migrated the HHARBR database SPR to a second server called HHARBR2. When Ilook into the table in HHARBR2 I still see the name HHARBR in the data.What command can I run on HHARBR2 to change the table entries of HHARBR tothe new server name of HHARBR2?I prefer something I can run in the Query AnalyzerSource server: HHARBRSource Database: SPRSource Datbase Table: reportnameDestination Server: HHARBR2Destination Databse: SPRDestination Table: reportnameSummary:Change wrong server name in destination server to reflect the destinationsserver name
Anyone know if there is one and if so what it is? I know I can type directly into a text box in a table, but what if I want to edit the contents? Equivalent of F2 in Excel...
Hi!I am able to add records to my SQL 2005 database using bound forms in myAccess application, but if I try to edit any records (not only the newrecords I create) using the same bound forms, I receive a write conflict.For the record, I am currently the only user of this application and my SQLServer database has only one userID. I used this userID to create all ofthe objects in the database and to connect to the database from Access. Thedata sources for the bound forms are linked tables, the record source typeis set to "Dynaset" and the record locks are set to "No Locks". "Opendatabases using record-level locking" is checked.The write error says that another user has changed the current record sinceit was opened (since I'm currently the only user this isn't possible) andasks me to copy my changes to the clipboard or drop the changes.Can anyone suggest what might be causing this? Thanks!
I'm just posting this to make sure I didn't mess anything.
Is the only way to enter/edit table data (in grid view) is through the VS (Express) IDE?
The reason why I ask is because I installed the Sql Server 2008 developer trial to get the Management Studio and pretty much the only things I can do are create/edit/delete databases, tables and the like.
It would be nice for the Management Studio (and Express at that) to have those capabilites. It would be nice to not have to create connections in the VS IDE to diffferent databases to edit them. Opening up the Management Studio and selecting the database seems like the proper (if not accustomed) way to do it.
Hi everyone, this is is my first post, so please reply and help. I'm working on a project right now that uses asp 2.0 and SQL server 2005 express edition. This is a general idea of the project. In our company some of us receive ECO notifications (engineering change orders) for our products and we need to implement these to the test scripts that are on the production floor. So the project is about entering the new ECO into a database which will send an automatic notification to our test team. When they receive the notification they will have to sign in to the website and introduce their login and password to sign off the ECO (Following some checkpoints already defined by me, for example, Area ready, Test script modification necessary, new firmware introduction, comments, etc...) but I also need to record WHO and WHEN sign that ECO. We have 3 different test areas in our factory: Electrical, Functional and Systems, so all THREE areas must be signed off in order to the ECO go to a IMPLEMENTED state (at this point i need to send a new email saying that the eco has been implemented in all three areas). So far I've completed the following things: -users validation (logins, areas) -New custom entry form for the ECOs and automatic email notification (part of what I did is described below). Dim ECODataSource As New SqlDataSource()ECODataSource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ECO_ICSConnectionString1").ToString()
ECODataSource.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.StoredProcedure ECODataSource.InsertCommand = "EcoNew" ECODataSource.InsertParameters.Add("EcoNumber", EcoNumberTextBox.Text) ECODataSource.InsertParameters.Add("EcoDescription", EcoDescriptionTextBox.Text) ECODataSource.InsertParameters.Add("EcoMandatory", EcoMandatoryDropDownList.Text) -Depending on which test area is the the engineering from, I can filter the ECOs and just shows the ones that their test area is pending. (using GridView) But I'm stuck right now when the engineers have to sign the ECO for their test areas. I was able to use the Gridview and DetailsView to EDIT most of the things that I need. But there are somethings that I don't like: 1. When using the EDIT option on Gridview or Detailsview, all fields can be edited including ECO number, description and mandatory, which I don't want them to change. If I set those columns to read only, when editing that row again. It gives me an error that says that the ECOnumber can't be NULL, but if I remove these 3 columns the Engineer will not know which ECO they have sign. They are only going to be able to see the EcoId, which doesn't say much. 2. Also I saw that I wasn't able to do is to enter the USER login and CURRENT system date and time automatically. I don't want them to manually enter the date and their login manually. 3. Finally, when the last area signs the ECO, I want to update that record and set a flag that tells me that the ECO has been completed. So what I really want is to create some sort of form (textboxes, labels, checkboxes, etc.) that will UPDATE the selected ECO from the gridview for instance. So when I select the row from the GridView, It will show the data (Econumber, description and mandatory as READ ONLY) and use the rest of the things as INPUT for the engineer to complete. At the end an "update button" and when I click it, It will enter/update the data on that specific row, but including the time and user login as well. Also to check if the other 2 areas have signed and if so, change the ECOReadiness flag to 1 and send the email. Is there a code like the one I used above to do this ? Or if you think there a better way to do this, I'll be very glad to hear it. I'm new using sql and asp, so If i'm asking some dumb questions please forgive me. .
Here's my table definition for your reference: EcoId - primary key. EcoNumber EcoDescription EcoMandatory EcoReadiness <- Flag for the entire ECO, when ALL 3 areas have signed, this will be 1. ATE < - Flag for Electrical area. ATEscripts < - Just a Yes/no input. ATEengineer <- user login ATEdatetimestamp <- Date.Now() FAT < - Flag for functional. FATscripts FATengineer FATdatetimestamp SYSTEMS < - Flag for systems. SYSTEMSscripts SYSTEMSengineer SYSTEMSdatetimestamp

I have some problems to edit a recordset in an ActiveX DTS using Vbscript. Here is an example of the script :
dim varsql, varset, varconn set varconn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") set varset = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") varconn.Open = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=Enregistrement3;user id = 'sa';password=''"
if varset.recordcount >0 then do while varset.eof varset.edit ......................... varset.update varset.movenext loop end if varset.close varconn.close
Does someone see what is wrong ? I allways get -1 for the varset.recordcount ! (I checked there are some records into the table). I don't think it is a problem of user's right as it works with the same user configuration using a SQL action requery. If I modify the open statement like this : varset.Open varsql, varconn, 1 varset.recordcount contains the good number of records but the recordset is read noly and can't be modified...
This is a basic, remedial question, but I've no experience whatsoever with SQL server or Access (although I'm familiar with basic DB concepts). Even so, I have inherited this project because no one else will take it (besides, I like the challenge of learning something new :-). If I understand correctly, I can use Access 2000 to create and edit DBs on my SQL 7 server, and to run queries. This is done by creating a WBEM ODBC connector (I have no idea how this is done). I'm pretty good at figuring things out on my own, but I sure would appreciate being pointed in the right direction. What I'd like to know is first of all, am I on the right track, and secondly, what do you all recommend as a good source of info on this topic (the Microsoft web site, technet, manuals?).
I need to convert this from Jet SqL to SQL Server. Moving out of an MDB to an ADP some of the queries I need to change over, I inherited this database and the bosses want all databases moved over from MDB to ADP.

Hi, please, it is possible to know the edit distance used in the fuzzy lookup/grouping. On this forum I read fuzzy lookup use 4-gram with fix size. Does exist any document explaining how fuzzy lookup calculate the similarity? In other word, what kind of edit distance, algorithm is used by fuzzy lookup/grouping? I hope I was enough clear with my poor english. Thanks All
Two days back we have installed SP2 on SQLServer2005 Active/Active Cluster which result in failure.
Only Database Services and Analysis Services where not updated and rest of the services got updated.
After a restart , the behaviour of SQLServer is helarious.
We got into lot of problem so we opened support from Microsoft.
One of the problem i forgot to mentioed to Microsoft was on editing the Job i cannot see anything inside,all the entries where empty closing the job window and opening it again i got all my entries back but on editing i got the below mentioned Error. Error: Creating an instance of the COM component with CLSID {E80FE1DB-D1AA-4D6B-BA7E-040D424A925C} from the IClassFactory failed due to the following error:c001f011(Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS)
If anyone faced the same problem and got any resolution please let me know.
I have a many to many relationship I can design the table 2 ways:1) Category table (cat_id, cat_name, active) - cat_id as PKCategoryReq (cat_id, req_name) - cat_id & req_name as PK2)CategoryReq (req_name, cat_name) - req_name & cat_name as PKIf I design 1st way. Then when they want to add and delete from the CategoryRequest table, they would have to add to the category table first. Then maybe build a list of checkboxes to select from. The one's they check insert into the CategoryRequest table.Drawback of this is that they can't edit the list on the fly. Since it may be used by other request (since cat_id CategoryReq is fk into Category table)If I design it the 2nd way. Then they can edit, delete, add on the fly. But there won't be a master category list.Which way is better?
Because of testing and deletion, my table of user groups starts at 15 or so. Now I want to insert a group for administrators but I would like to have the groupID be 1. I tried to turn off the identity seed property and insert it manually but that didn't work.

HI, I created a dts package using my Windows NT authentication. One of my colleague edited that package last week and when I tried to open it now, it gives me an error message "The system cannot find the file specified". The package still has my NT id as the owner. Could anyone please let me know why is this happening ??? My colleague is still able to edit my package. My NT id and my colleague NT id both are setup as administrators on the sql server. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm working in Visual Basic 6 using SQL Server 6.5 connecting through a DSN (using ODBC)
I have a query "object.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM table", dbOpenDynamic, 0, dbOptimistic" returning a recordset. I loop through the recordset, edit a char field for each record and update it.
The first update works fine but the second update (and then on) fails returning an error message ODBC call failed and I also get an error S1106.
I ran the code in debugger mode and noticed that as soon as it updates the first record, the pointer seems to move to the next record before even doing the "MoveNext" (based on the field contents), but the AbsolutePosition remains fixed until MoveNext is executed. At that point, if I do a "MovePrevious", the record is not there anymore and has totally disappeared from the recordset. What is happening and how do I get around that????
We are using MS Access as a front end to a SQL Server 6.5 Database using ODBC & linking tables in Access.
We are unable to edit certain records using access. We get the following error message:
"This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it. If you save the record, you will overwrite the changes the other user made.
Copying the changes to the clipboard will let you look at the values the other user entered, and then paste your changes back in if you decide to make changes."
What the message says is untrue in our case. Worse, there is no way to recover and have the desired change posted. This error occurs only with certain records. This error occurs when there are no locks active (and only 1 client logged in).
I am inclined to think that this error may be the fault of ODBC.
Updating the same change directly into ISQL works fine. SQL Server Permissions have beeen checked & double checked.
If you have suggestions as to how this error can be rectified, please contact me: Mark Blackburn mark@mbari.org http://www.mbari.org/~mark
I have a sql express database with a couple tables of information. I have a user modifying one of these tables with a data access page using Office Web Controls.
To backtrack a bit, the sql db used to be an access db. The same user modifying the data the same way. I also had a asp page making odbc calls to the access db to lookup information. But if the data access page was open, the odbc page would error. So i moved the data to sql.
Now, I'm getting ready to setup an application to make odbc calls to the sql db. I still want the user to modify the data using the DAP. Should I allow the user to modify the live data used for the app or should I make a copy of the data everytime its updated?
