I have a SQL database that has a function that returns an id value from a table after you pass in a text variable. I would like to test this functionality in Query Analyzer but when I try to do it this way:
exec dbo.fnc_ORGUNIT_GetByName 'Dummy'
It just says 'Query executed successfully' without any resutls in the results pane. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
My aim is to write a function that returns a bit determining if a varchar(30) argument is "complex enough" to serve as a password. I am open to suggestions of better heuristics, but the rules I was initially planning to use were:
1) Greater than 8 characters long.
2) Contains at least one upper case, lower case, number, and punctuation (loosely defined as anything not in the first three categories).
I can loop over the characters in the PW and use CHARINDEX to test against these three subsets, but I thought there just might be a more clever way to accomplish this.
I also mention the "meta" problem since I am all ears if anyone has a better idea of how to measure complexity.
Cheers,
Lyman Hurd
PS Only a hash gets stored in the DB. This is to be used in the stored proecdure where people set their passwords. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
I need a way to test if a convert function will work before I process it. if it fails, I want to intercept the error and return my own error to the front end
ex
if convert(int,@x) is true then do; else do
please email me if anyone has some advice

Hey, i've written a query to search a database dependant on variables chosen by user etc etc. Opened up a new sqldatasource, entered the query shown below and went on to the test query page. Entered some test variables, everything works as it should do. Try to get it to show in a datagrid on a webpage - nothing. No data shows.

AFAIK I have configured the source to pick up the dropdownlist value and the textbox value (the text box is autopostback).
Am i not submitting the data correctly? (It worked with a simple query...just not with this one). I have tried a stored procedure which works when testing just not when its live on a webpage.
Please help!

When I run the following query from Query Analyzer in SQL Serer 2005, I get a message back that says.
Command(s) completed successfully.
What I really need it to do is to display the results of the query. Does anyone know how to do this?
declare @SniierId as uniqueidentifierset @SniierId = '85555560-AD5D-430C-9B97-FB0AC3C7DA1F'declare @SniierAlias as nvarchar(50)declare @AlwaysShowEditButton as bitdeclare @SniierName as nvarchar (128)/* Check access for Sniier */SELECT TOP 1 @SniierName = Sniiers.SniierName, @SniierAlias = Sniiers.SniierAlias, @AlwaysShowEditButton = Sniiers.AlwaysShowEditButtonFROM SniiersWHERE Sniiers.SniierId=@SniierId
THis is so annoying. I have 3 ADO executes in my program. THe first one creates a view, the second one performs an outer join on that view and returns a result set, the third execute drops the aforementioned view. THe program that is using this is installed on about 200 computers scattered across Germany and Italy, all querying the same MSsql server 7.0. THe queries run quite quick when few users are actively using the program (after hours for example). however in the heat of the day performance goes up and down dramatically with identical queries taking from 1 to 20 seconds to return their result set. Now I initially thought 'bandwidth issue out of our server'. However I noticed that if I take those three queries and run them from the sql server enterprise manager( running on the same computer as the aforementioned program) then the queries run instantly and the data is in my result pane in less than 2 seconds ALWAYS....even when the program is dogging it with 20 second delays before the result set returns. I know it is hanging on the return of the result set as I put a stop after before each ADO execute in order to check which one was eating up my time. Why is there this dichotomy between running the queries from my enterprise manager versus running them from an ADO object. Both are using TCP/IP (no named pipes involved). I havent monkied with the attributes of the ADO result set so they are all set to default.
I have used the sql server profiler to trace these queries and they always run in less than 33 milliseconds. THe duration is also never more than 33 milliseconds. THis stinks of a network resource issue but what always leads me somewhere else is how consistent the performance of the enterprise manager is when it runs the exact same three queries.
Here is my slightly edited connection string
Public Const connection_string = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=000.000.000.000;" & _
"User ID=johndoe;Password=janedoe;Network=dbmssocn;" & _
"database=fidojoe"
Here are the 3 ADO executes:
conn.Execute (sqlstr_create_view)
Set resultset1 = conn.Execute(sqlstr_get_providers_by_DMISID)
conn.Execute (sqlstr_drop_view)
When I run query in excel it gives result with different column sequence. The same query gives result with different column sequence when used in query analyzer or VBA Macro. E.g., Select * from ABC.

values...
Result with Query Analyzer and VBA Macro
col-c col-B col-A

I hope I am not asking about something that has been done before, but Ihave searched and cannot find an answer. What I am trying to do is torun a query, and then perform some logic on the rowcount and thenpossibly display the result of the query. I know it can be done withADO, but I need to do it in Query Analyzer. The query looks like this:select Varfrom DBwhere SomeCriteriaif @@Rowcount = 0select 'n/a'else if @@Rowcount = 1select -- this is the part where I need to redisplay the resultfrom the above queryelse if @@Rowcount > 1-- do something elseThe reason that I want to do it without re-running the query is that Iwant to minimize impact on the DB, and the reason that I can't useanother program is that I do not have a develpment environment where Ineed to run the queries. I would select the data into a temp table, butagain, I am concerned about impacting the DB. Any suggestions would begreatly appreciated. I am really hoping there is something as simple as@@resultset, or something to that effect.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to determine which of three stored procedure designs arefastest in the Query Analyzer:One query is a straight SELECT query with all desired rows and a dozen(tblName.RowName = @param or @param = Null) filters in the WHEREstatement.One query populates a #Temp table with the UniqueIDs from the resultsof the SELECT query in the above example, then joins that #Temp tableto get the desired rows.One query users EXEC sp_executesql @sql, @paramlist, @paramin which the @param has the dozen filters.What I'm trying to determine is which is the fastest.Each time I run the query in Query Analyzer it returns the samerecordset (duh!) but with much different Time Statistics.Are the Time Statisticts THE HOLY QRAIL as far as determining which isfastest, and what so I want to look at, the Vale or the Average? Inotice there are different numbers of bytse sen and bytes received foreach of the three queries.Any illumination on this is appreciated.lq

Hi.
I have an application where I allow users to type in their SQL queries. Before I store those queries I have to make sure that they are correct, both syntax-wise and data type-wise. For that I execute the query against the database and trap any errors that may be returned and that's how I judge if the query was OK.
In order to keep this test as quick as possible, I tried to add a WHERE clause to it like: WHERE 1=2, so no results are returned. But then I discovered that the addition keeps errors from happening if they are of ata type nature.For instance "select orderid + 'test' from orders where 1=2", run against the Northwind database, returns no errors, while OrderID is numeric and U'm adding a string to it!
Next, I tried to return only one row: "select top 1 orderid + 'test' from orders". This time the error is thrown, however the query still takes a looong time when run on a huge table. I don't kknow why that is, but it seems that the engine runs the query for the entire table and then gets the first row!
Does anyone have an idea ehat's happening or have a better suggestion on how I can perform my test without killing the database?
Thanks.
Is Query Analyzer being droped in MS-SQL 2005? I'm using Microsoft SQL
Server Managemant Studio and I couldn't find the Store Procedure node
and Query Analyzer anymore. Help is appreciated.
Say you have a state column with the name of a state in it. And you need to add a branchId to the table. I know I should not have it in there, and the application should use proper lookup tables, but that's not the case.
Can SQL Server query analyzer loop through and update the branchid field based on a lookup in a lookup table?
How would that be done?
Hi All,
I think I post this in a wrong section but I cant find forum for sql server and i just have a quick question
basically, I installed sql server 2005 and I need to debug a store procedure.1. Does query analyzer come with sql server 2005?2. If not how can I debug store procedure in sql server 2005?Thanks in advance
Does anyone know if there is a limitation in Query Analyzer in terms of the number of characters in a query that it will parse?
I am having a problem with some large queries, and I am not sure if it is Query Analyzer, or the SQL Server query parsing engine that is causing the problem.
The query just involves a simple SELECT statement, albeit for a large number of columns.
Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 7.0. I connect to one database in Query Analyzer and I can use the "Perform Index Analysis" option under the "Query" menu option. when I connect to one of our other databases, the "Perform Index Analysis" option under the "Query" menu option is disabled (greyed out). Does anyone know what the problem could be and how might I be able to enable this option.
Thanks in advance,

Hello
In query Analyzer of SQL2000 when i select
2 Select Queries and Run it shows in same Window as 2 Grids
I have seen people using seperate grid option to view each query results in a Tab query results Pane in MSSQL 7.
Eg Select * from table1 (in one grid)
select * from table2 (in another grid)
like a TAB so that i can move from one tab to another.
Is it possible to do that in query Analyzer?
Regards
I would like to use the Query Analyzer to create a script that will prompt the user(dialog box) for a response in SQL Server 7.0. I found a post someone mentioned DBMS can return messages and using Query Analyzer.
Thanks for your help in advance.
I'm trying to do a couple of things with some different tables.
With the first table, I have first name and last name in two separate columns.
I'm trying to create a new ID column that would do the following.
Take the first 3 letters of the last name (and remove any non characters such as ',&) and the first 3 letters of the first name, and then combine them.
I know how to use substring to take the first three, and I know how to combine them, but I'm having problems removing the non alpha characters.
For example, if the columns looked as follows:
First Last
John O'Connor
I'd want the result to look like OCOJOH, however, I'm getting O'CJOH.
The second issue is how would I do something similar if the First and Last Name were in the same column and string.
For example, if the column looks as follows:
Name
John O'Connor Publishing
I'd like to pull the first 3 from the first string before the space and then the next 3 so it would be as follows:
JOHOCO
Finally, I want to compare these new IDs, and add numbers to them.
So if I had the following
First Last
John O'Connor
Johnny O'Connell
The first would be OCOJOH01
The second would be OCOJOH02
If there are not any duplicates with the new ID, I'd like to call it OCOJOH01 and then move on.
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

hi everybody!
this is my first post, so I'd like to say hallo to everyone!
I "work" on SQL Server 2000, and I would like to ask you a question.
Is it correct that i cannot set a database user as database owner (using command sp_changedbowner 'user_name')?
QA returns this error message:
"Server: Msg 15110, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_changedbowner, Line 46
The proposed new database owner is already a user in the database."
so I have to use sp_revokedbaccess and then I can change the db owner.
why can't a db user be the db owner?
thanks for the answers!!

Hello,
how is the query analyzer opening a database??? Does someone knows the command it uses to open the connection ??
I ask this because i have corrupted datafiles stored on a flash card which i can not open with connection.open but the analyzer opens them normally. After that i can open the datafiles using normal code
Does it use any special params?? I get the corrupted files on power down and after that i can not open them from my application. I can only do this after i open them once with the query analyzer
The database is about 20 MB stored on a flash card
Thanks in advance
We are setting up a test lab environment with 100 machines. We want one master testing db that gets replicated to each to run scripted application tests nightly.
My goal is to minimize the amount of work to move this thing to each of the 100 test machines. I am wondering if we need to even have the sql local and invest in a monster db server with 100 copies of the db we restore and each test machine point to their own db on that server, or if I should use db mirroring or something to get the master test db to each of those machines instead.
Say I have this query in my stored procedure. The problem I am facing is @OrgUID contains no value, so I put these 2 lines to debug. Am I using the right way to debug?
