How Do I Reference The Server Name In TSQL As A Variable
Dec 5, 1999
I have created a job which performs linked server inserts, the job is scheduled to run every 15min. The Job inserts to a local linked server, some data from one of our log tables. That linked server inturn gathers more data from other servers and exports that data to another application for further processing.
My problem is that I need to reference local machine (DNS Name) as a variable which can be passed along with the linked server insert. If I can get the Server name dynamically I can run this as a remote job on 2 or 20 or 200 servers and It will give the log data and the name of the source server.
QUESTION: How Do I reference the server name from within TSQL as a variable.
I am trying to write a query that will use tables in more than one SQL database (on the same server). How do refer to the table? I have tried dbasename.tablename.fieldname but I don't think that's working.
My question is simple, I'd like to do something I do in Jet ANSI-89 SQL. Mind you I'm just adding numbers here - they are not actual columns in 'SomeTable'
SELECT 1 AS A, 2 AS B, A+B AS C FROM SomeTable
The Jet engine evaluates and does arithmetic on the Aliased column names - handy when they contain their own functions. The resultset would show:
A B C 1 2 3
However from what I can tell SQL Server 2005 is not picking this up. Is their an equivalent?
I am trying to extract value from temp.variable and create new column in temp.table using that value for .eg
@name = 'abc'
What command should I use in my S.P to extract abc from @name, so I can create new column called abc in my temp. table.If there are any other ways of doing thinsg let me know.
I have a VBscript below which works fine, which creates a unique file name for a text source and creates it just fine. What I need is to use that file name in an insert statement in TSQL to load a record to a transaction table. How do I utilize this variable to do this? Thanks
Can anyone please give me the equivalent tsql for sql server 2000 for the following two queries which works fine in sql server 2005
1 -- Full Table Structure
select t.object_id, t.name as 'tablename', c.name as 'columnname', y.name as 'typename', case y.namewhen 'varchar' then convert(varchar, c.max_length)when 'decimal' then convert(varchar, c.precision) + ', ' + convert(varchar, c.scale)else ''end attrib,y.*from sys.tables t, sys.columns c, sys.types ywhere t.object_id = c.object_idand t.name not in ('sysdiagrams')and c.system_type_id = y.system_type_idand c.system_type_id = y.user_type_idorder by t.name, c.column_id
2 -- PK and Index select t.name as 'tablename', i.name as 'indexname', c.name as 'columnname' , i.is_unique, i.is_primary_key, ic.is_descending_keyfrom sys.indexes i, sys.tables t, sys.index_columns ic, sys.columns cwhere t.object_id = i.object_idand t.object_id = ic.object_idand t.object_id = c.object_idand i.index_id = ic.index_idand c.column_id = ic.column_idand t.name not in ('sysdiagrams')order by t.name, i.index_id, ic.index_column_id
This sql is extracting some sort of the information about the structure of the sql server database[2005] I need a sql whihc will return the same result for sql server 2000
I have a booking system which stores an event along with a start date and a finish date. I want to create a table which has a row for each day the event is on. I can find the number of days easily enough using a datediff function but I don't know how to translate this into that number of rows. My current thinking is to cross join the original table out to another temporary table with a large number of rows and use SQL2005 to only select the top 'x' rows, then use the rownumber of this temp table to add the required number of days to the StartDate to get each eventdate. Currently I use a loop to build the required table but there must be a way to get it all done in a single statement :) Thanks
ORIGINAL DATA EventID StartDate EndDate 1 1/1/08 1/1/08 2 20/1/08 22/1/08
Hello, I have a 'ForEach Loop Container' that does a select from a table and I use Variable Mappings to map each row set result to Package Variables in SSIS. This works fine. However, in the Data Flow, I have a Script component in which I need to access the values of those variables that have been set in the ForEach Loop Container. How do I do this?
Perhaps I'm on the wrong track but I guess I need to access the ADO Object Source variable set in the ForEach Loop Container? Through my own experimentation, I know that accessing the VariableDispenser collection only returns whatever default values that happen to be assigned to the variables in the SSIS GUI (not the values assigned during each iteration of the ForEach Loop).
I am using vs 2010 to write my dtsx import scripts.I use a script component as a source to create a flat file destination file.Everything have been working fine,but then my development machine crashed and we have to install everything again.Now when i use the execute package utility to test my scripts i get the following error:
Error system.NullReferenceException: Object refrence not set to an instance reference.
In PreExecute section TextReader = new system.io.streamreader(" file name") In the CreateNewOutputRows: dim nextLine as string nextLine = textReader.ReadLine
[code]...
is there something which i did not install or what can be the error?
I'm creating a trigger in an Sql Server Project that needs to execute some code. Is it possible to reference any assembly? When I click "add reference" to the project I cannot browse to an assembly.
What are the limitations of this feature? I was under the impression you could execute any .net code.
I've just joined this community and already feel alot better in doing so!!
My question is aimed at SQL Server 2000. Part ofmy job role has swicthed to SQL Developer to Database Administrator. To learn SQL Server 2000 (latest version available to me) I wanted to find out about courses (based in London, UK) which help teach along the lines of the following topics:
Fundamental concepts SQL Server installation and upgrade Database management Backup and recovery Alerts and jobs Security Replication Monitoring SQL Server Converting and migrating data
This is what I understand to be prior importance for the role.
My main question to you guys: Can anyone recommend a reference book which is a good desktop companion which covers all of these topics to detailed depth??
I'm running SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2003 Server. I'm aware some books may be old, but the later they are the better?
I've studied SQL at uni, covering RDMS, OLAP, Data manipulation, Data Definition. But now its to be applied to SQL SERVER 2000
I have a DLL coded in C# which has a one Function which returns 0 or 1 depends on the operation. I am using SQL 2005 and same functionality I want to reuse in SQL. So I have decided to use new functionality of 2005 CLR integration to avoid code redudancy.
I will create a function and that function will call internally this DLL and return value. But my problem is here that I am not able to set a reference to the C# dll. I am getting messages Sql Server Projects can refer only other sql Server projects.
I think there must be some other way to set reference. Please let me know if any one know how to achieve. Kishor
There are between 10 and 15 books in the set. I recall an index, developer's book, administrator's book, and two T-SQL reference books. I don't remember what the other books were. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I had these books at my disposal at my last place of employment and I'm trying to get the same books here. If this sounds familiar to anyone, can you point me in the right direction? Thanks
With SQL 2000 and MSDE 2000, I only had to put a "." for the server name in a connection string. Now with SQL Express 2005 I have to acually reference the server instance name ".SQLEXPRESS".
Why is this?
Also, when running the command line tools for running scripts, I have to include the parameter "-S MACHINESQLEXPRESS" in the command line where as before I never used the -S parameter at all.
Anyone know why? I am curious because it is going to cause an impact on our upgrades for the client.
My only answer to these questions is that there is no SQL Agent running anymore.
got some MS Access SQL Code that needs converting into TSQL:
SELECT dbo_qryMyServices.FormsServiceID, dbo_qryMyServices.ServiceName, Sum(IIf(IsNull([CompletionDate]),0,1)) AS Completed, Count([pkServiceID])-Sum(IIf(IsNull([CompletionDate]),0,1)) AS Uncompleted, Count(dbo_MyServiceRequests.pkServiceID) AS TotalCount FROM dbo_qryMyServices LEFT JOIN dbo_MyServiceRequests ON dbo_qryMyServices.FormsServiceID = dbo_MyServiceRequests.PostType GROUP BY dbo_qryMyServices.FormsServiceID, dbo_qryMyServices.ServiceName ORDER BY dbo_qryMyServices.ServiceName;
because it's Access and got VBA stuff in it - IIF and ISNULL, I can't figure out how to make it work in proper SQL.
Is there a way to connect to another server in a TSQL script. I would assume that there would be but, I must be missing it somewhere. I found the ESQL CONNECT TO function but, can't seem to get that working either. Any help (even telling me it's not possible) would be appreciated.
I have some simple TSQL running on a large block of data (565 million records). This process is estimated to take around 5 days and it is critical to get this running as quickly as possible.
I'm watching Windows Performance Monitor and both disk and CPU use are really low and all data is local so there is no network access involved. This is the only task running on this database server. How could this be? The process is running; I just need it to run faster. Typically a system is CPU-bound, disk-bound, network-bound, or operating under maximum capacity. This seems to be none of the above.
In Enterprise Manager, I see the process is sleeping with a Wait Type of "MISCELLANEOUS". What does that mean? Online help gives a pretty useless explanation of that.
I have been building a database in SQL Server Express for some months now using the Windows level authentication login that has given me full access to everything in the database.
The time has now come where I need to create user accounts and grant permissions to specific stored procedures and I'm having trouble doing this.
Can anyone give me a brief rundown of the required T-SQL commands I need to set up a user account that can do nothing but run stored procs (not the system procs which apparently are being discontinued: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182795.aspx).
So far I have:-
CREATE LOGIN db_test_user WITH PASSWORD = 'eXaMpL3Pwd USE db_new CREATE USER db_test_user
The above code executes successfully but when I try and connect (using Management Studio) I get error message 'The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection (error 18452)' which means little to me.
I also tried creating a 'WITHOUT LOGIN' user for the database but could not figure out how to give it a password.
I don't know (/understand) roles/schemas and don't know if I really need them as I only need user access to specific stored procs. I don't ever want them to see the tables for example so they only need the most restricted access.
I'm trying to find out how to determine the Server name of the server that a stored proc is running on. Something that is similar to DB_NAME() i.e. SERVER_NAME()
SELECTDISTINCTLOC.[place-ref] AS 'Place Ref' ,PLA.address1 AS 'Address1' ,PLA.address2 AS 'Address2' ,PLA.address3 AS 'Address3' ,PLA.address4 AS 'Address4' ,PLA.address5 AS 'Address5' ,PLA.[post-code] AS 'Postcode' ,LOC.[location-sts] AS 'Location Status'
[Code] ....
Above is a small example.
As you can see 13 Alamein Avenue is listed twice. This is because it pulls back the former and the current tenancy. I don't want to exclude former tenancies - so I want to pull back the most recent Tenancy Reference for each Place Reference.
When I create a Smart Device project and and try to add a reference to SQL Server CE only the old version (3.0.3600.0) shows up. How do I get the new one (3.1) to show up?
I am trying to eliminate a scalar function by rewriting a view. I currently have a structure similar to the following:
With FirstQuery as (SELECT Trial, SBOI, TBOI, FROM TU WHERE SBOI Between 22000 and 22999 and TBOI < 10000), strt as (SELECT TOP 1 TimeOfEvent, Trial, SBOI, TBOI From TU ORDER BY TimeOfEvent),
[Code] ....
What I trying to do is for the Trial, SBOI, and TBOI in FirstQuery, find the Start Time and Stop Time. TimeOfEvent is an integer in milliseconds. Say I have the following data:
TrialID SBOI TBOI TimeOfEvent A 22000 5000 5 A 22000 5000 10 B 22000 5000 8 B 22000 5000 15
So the DISTINCT output would be:
Trial SBOI TBOI StartTime StopTime A 22000 5000 5 10 B 22000 5000 8 15
The problem I am having is that strt is selecting the smallest time period. It doesn't seem to care what the current record in cte is. I thought that by using my joins, it would make it select smallest TimeOfEvent for the Trial, SBOI, and TBOI that are selected in cte. Obviously that is not the case. So, I was trying to add a WHERE to the strt Select Statement such as
WHERE TrialID = FirstQuery.TrialID and SBOI = FirstQuery.SBOI and TBOI = FirstQuery.TBOI but it isn't working either.
I'm trying to update a table in MyDB1 with a value in MyDB2 on the same SQL server (2000)
UPDATE MyDB1.dbo.Users SET MyDB1.dbo.Users.InstantASP_UserID = MyDB2.dbo.InstantASP_Users.UserID FROM MyDB2 INNER JOIN dbo.aspnet_Membership a ON a.UserId = MyDB1.dbo.Users.UserID WHERE MyDB2.dbo.InstantASP_Users.EmailAddress = a.Email
I don't want to have to create a linked server. It's on the same box.
We have a stored procedure that makes a decision to pull records from one of two servers.
If one of these servers became unavailable but was no longer queried would the stored procedure still work? Doesn't SQL recompile stored procedures periodically?
Something like this:
If @ServerAIsDown=1 begin select * from ServerB.dbo.MyTable end else begin select * from ServerA.dbo.MyTable end
I have a table with constantly changing data - stock.
I want to start monitoring the value of stock at the end of each month. I can do this with a simple query, export the results to Excel and store on the network.
My question is:
Are there better ways to do this with SQL Server?
I thought of a monthly "job" that does the query and outputs to a file. (Need to be able to look at each month separately though for trend monitoring.)
Then wondered, if I should have an extra table to store the data and write queries on that in the future?
I have two tables t_DTM_DATA_STAGING around 2 million records t_DTM_DATA around 251 million records
The below SQL statement looks for records in the t_DTM_DATA_STAGING table that are not in the t_DTM_DATA table and adds them to a 3rd table. (t_DTM_DATA_STAGING2)
This statement has been running fine for weeks, but now it seems to get hung every day. I ran sp_Who2 and it says the status is runnable. I let it run for around 5 or 6 hours the other day to see if it will finish but it didn't. This SQL job is step 3 in a 6 step SQLAgent job that usually finishes in 30 to 45 minutes.
I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this problem. No other jobs are running at the time this job runs.
Could this SQL statement be written a better way?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Hi, I'm trying to insert the Url for the image control in the Report designer. As per your article there should be an option (radio button) in Image Wizard to use set the URL for the reports. But i do not get that option at all. All i get is these options a) - Embedded b) - Project c) - Database I do not get a URL option. My problem is that i have a URL path to the images that are stored on a Web Server. I would like to this path to be the source of the Image control. I can't make it work. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, GJ
