There are procs to add linked servers, and procs to add and delete linkedserver logins, but I dont see a proc to delete the actual linked server definition. And yet EM will drop the definition of a linked server. So the obvious question is "How do you code the dropping of a linked server?
Thanks!

Hi ,
On my Desktop i registered Production Server in Enterprise Manager
on that Server if i go to SecurityLinked Servers
There is another Server is already mapped, when i am trying to see the Tables under that one of the
Linked Server i am getting the Error message saying that
"Error 17 SQL Server does not exist or access denied"
if i went to Production Server location and if i try to see the tables i am able to see properly, no problems
why i am not able to see from my Desk top
i am using the sa user while mapping the Production Server on my DESKTOP using (ENTERPRISE MANAGER)
And i check the Client Network Utility in the Alias using Named Pipe only, i changed to TCP/IP still same problem
What might the Problem how can i see the Tables in Linked Server from my DESKTOP
Thanks
I am using Linked Server in SQL Server 2008R2 connecting to a couple of Linked Servers.
I was able to connect Linked Servers, but I cannot point to a specific database in a Linked Server, also, I cannot rename Linked Server's name.
How to point the linked server to a specific database? How to rename the Linked Server?
The following is the code that I am using right now:
USE [master]
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver
@server = N'Machine123Instance456',
@srvproduct=N'SQL Server' ;
GO
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'Machine123Instance456', 'false', NULL, 'username', 'password'
I am using Access 2000 to link tables from SQL Server. The tables are linked using ODBC DSN`s. I am running a query to return some rows to Access, but once I have returned the rows, I want to drop the linked table connection to SQL Server, because it is locking a table on the server. I think I need to write a bit of VBA code, but I don`t know where to start. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Is there a way to bypass the syntax checking when adding a stored procedure via a script?
I have a script that has a LINKed server reference (see below) .
INSERT
INTO ACTDMSLINKED.ACTDMS.DBO.COILS ..etc.
ACTDMSLINKED does not exist at the time I need to add the stored procedure that references it.
PLEASE to not tell me to add the LINK and then run the script. This is not an option in this scenerio.
Thanks,
Terry
Hi all--I'm trying to convert a function which I inherited from a SQL Server 2000 DTS package to something usable in an SSIS package in SQL Server 2005. Given the original code here:
Function Main()
on error resume next
dim cn, i, rs, sSQL
Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;Server=<server_name>;Database=<db_name>;User ID=<sysadmin_user>;Password=<password>"
set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
set rs = DTSGlobalVariables("SQLstring").value
for i = 1 to rs.RecordCount
sSQL = rs.Fields(0).value
cn.Execute sSQL, , 128 'adExecuteNoRecords option for faster execution
rs.MoveNext
Next
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function
This code was originally programmed in the SQL Server ActiveX Task type in a DTS package designed to take an open-ended number of SQL statements generated by another task as input, then execute each SQL statement sequentially. Upon this code's success, move on to the next step. (Of course, there was no additional documentation with this code. :-)
Based on other postings, I attempted to push this code into a Visual Studio BI 2005 Script Task with the following change:
public Sub Main()
...
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Class
I get the following error when I attempt to compile this:
Error 30209: Option Strict On requires all variable declarations to have an 'As' clause.
I am new to Visual Basic, so I'm on a learning curve here. From what I know of this script:
- The variables here violate the new Option Strict On requirement in VS 2005 to declare what type of object your variable is supposed to use.
- I need to explicitly declare each object, unless I turn off the Option Strict On (which didn't seem recommended, based on what I read).
Given this statement:
dim cn, i, rs, sSQL
I'm looking at "i" as type Integer; rs and sSQL are open-ended arrays, but can't quite figure out how to read the code here:
Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cn.Open "Provider=sqloledb;Server=<server_name>;Database=<db_name>;User ID=<sysadmin_user>;Password=<password>"
set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
This code seems to create an instance of a COM component, then pass provider information and create the recordset being passed in by the previous task, but am not sure whether this syntax is correct for VS 2005 or what data type declaration to make here. Any ideas/help on how to rewrite this code would be greatly appreciated!
Are there any issues with dropping registration of a SQL 6.5 database and then registering it again. I think this is what I am going to have to do because a consultant we are using decided to change the security from standard to Integrated. Now we are getting the following error when we are in the SQL Enterprise Manager and trying to open TAP:
A connection could not be established to TAP[SQL Server]Login failed:Reason:Not associated with trusted SQL Server connection.
Thanks for any help
I have managed to successfully connect to another SQL Server instance using a linked server.
I can then do my select statement like this: select * from [servernameinstancename].[databasename].[databaseowner].[tablename]
I just wanted to know how I can drop the database on the other instance?I have tried doing: DROP DATABASE [servernameinstancename].[databasename].
Dear All,
i'm planning to drop all the non clustered indexes (as they are not congigured well) on production database, and run the latest script to create fresh non clustered indexes on specific columns.
now my doubts are
1)will the replication affect with dropping and recreating of indexes?
2)query to drop all the non clustered indexes on that database....
can i use the query delete from sysindexes where indid>1
will the query works for me to drop all the non clustered indexes?
3)is it necessary to generate a snapshot again after creating the new indexes? or can i drop and run at subscriber also?
please guide me in this regard

Even you learn 1%, Learn it with 100% confidence.
I have an asp.net 4.5 webpage that has a detailsview on it that has a bound field that points to a SQL Server 2012 datetime field (CompDate). This field is supposed to capture date AND time of completion of a record (this is a data gathering project).
<asp:BoundField DataField="CompDate" HeaderText="CompDate" SortExpression="CompDate" Visible="False" />
The code that inserts the datetime:
If e.NewValues.Item("Complete") = True Then
Dim dt As DateTime = Now
e.NewValues("CompDate") = dt
e.NewValues("UNAME") = Membership.GetUser.ToString
End If
Everything works great, except when the captured date/time is sent to sql server, the time portion is getting dropped and only zeros are getting stored in the time portion.
Results:

I've tried different formatting options and converting to string..
All,
I've a VB6 application that writes data to a SQL Server database using ADODB in the VB6 code. My market has been the United States. My application is written for the English language.
I've a new user in Germany. Unfortunately, every number that contains a decimal is now stored in the SQL Server database with the decimal dropped. For example, 29.15 gets stored as 2915. I've done some searching and found the culprit is probably the OS Regional Language setting. The Germany user is using German. So it seems ADODB is expressing "29.15" as "29,15", and SQL Server is having a fit when ADODB is trying to write to the database.
My client is reluctant to changing all their user profile language settings to German (or the other option, changing their German language setting decimal symbol option to "."). They fear other applications may be affected.
Can anyone suggest a solution on my software end? Does ADODB have some options of which I'm unaware that will ignore the regional language setting and express decimal-containing numbers simply as "."? Or is there a setting in SQL Server to compensate?
I appreciate all and any help. Thanx!
I have a query that produces unique rows. However, some of the unique rows have the column called testname that has the same test listed more than once. All I want to do is drop the older testname and keep the testdate column.
Select
Distinct
TestID,
TestDate,
TestName
From third.test
I want to keep testdate in the query....guessing I need to put in to a temp table then drop the oldest one somehow by doing a subquery using Select Max....
I am finding it difficult to find an example that allows for insertion of additional rows into a table, without dropping the table I'm inserting into. Or inserting specific values. Like this example..
[URL] ....
I have 6 table I am formatting the data to conform to the final table as I'm inserting it into, but none of these examples gives me the example needed. I am using SQL 2012.
<code>
SELECT
CONVERT(VARCHAR(50),[FName]) + ' ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(50),[LName]) AS [CustName]
,CAST('ALARMCOM' as nvarchar(8)) as VendorName
,CONVERT(VARCHAR(25),[CUSTOMER_CS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER]) AS [Cust_ID]
,CONVERT(VARCHAR(40),[Charge_Description])as [ChargeType]
,CASE
[Code] ....
1. I have a simple JOIN statement between A and B, e.g. Cities A JOIN Countries B:
SELECT A.City_Name, B.Country_Code, B.Country_Area
FROM Cities A
JOIN Countries B
ON B.Country_Id = A.Country_Id
WHERE B.Country_Type='ABC';
That statement works absolutely fine, very fast (less than a second) and returns me 2 records
2. I need to replace Country Area column with 1 for Europe and 0 for all the rest. I implement so in the following way:
SELECT A.City_Name, B.Country_Code, CASE B.Country_Area WHEN 'EUR' THEN 1 ELSE 0 AS Country_Area
FROM Cities A
JOIN Countries B
ON B.Country_Id = A.Country_Id
WHERE B.Country_Type='ABC';
Now to get the same two records it takes 03:55 minutes (!)
I have looked into Estimated Execution Plan, but couldn't spot any difference - all straight forward.
It is SQL 2012 SP1 with compatibility level set to 110
I want to create and drop the global temporary table in same statement.
I am using below command but I am getting below error
Msg 2714, Level 16, State 6, Line 11
There is already an object named '##Staging_Temp' in the database.
if object_id('Datastaging..##Staging_Temp') is not null

Dear Friends,
I am having 2 Tables.
Table 1: AddressBook
Fields --> User Name, Address, CountryCode
Table 2: Country
Fields --> Country Code, Country Name
Step 1 : I have created a Cube with these two tables using SSAS.
Step 2 : I have created a report in SSRS showing Address list.
The Column in the report are User Name, Address, Country Name
But I have no idea, how to convert this Country Code to Country name.
I am generating the report using the Layout tab. ( Data | Layout | Preview ) Report1.rdl [Design]
Anyone help me to solve this issue. Because, in our project most of the transaction tables have Code and Code description in master table. I need to convert all code into corresponding description in all my reports.
Thanks in advance.

Is there a way we can prevent a object owner from dropping his tables. Example:
There is a user called 'tom' who is given create table permissions, 'tom' creates the table completes his dev and then the table is moved into production where 'tom' is still the owner. However, in production, 'tom' does not have the create table privs. Because 'tom' is the owner of the table, he is still able to drop the table in production. This is what I am trying to avoid. I would like to retain 'tom' as the owner and want to take away his create/drop privs.
Does anyone have any generic scripts that Drop all the statistics that SQL auto generates?? I have hundreds of '_WA_....'

Hi,
After I drop the database, I backed up the master database, I recreate the database with new name. When I tried to do the import on the command level,
It gives me the error:
Attempt to locate entry in the sysdatabases for database 'db1' by name,
failed -- no entry found in that name.
What should I do? Thanks.

Looking for suggestions.
I have a database that is giving me a bad Index error. When I go to drop the necessary Index it is telling me that it either does not exist or cannot be dropped. However when I try to build that index, it tells me one already exists.
Is there any way to drop all of the indexes or at the very least see what the indexes are? This particular database is using 2005 Express.
Any help would be great!

How to remove the constraints on a table in sql server 2000? I need to drop the column, so i need to drop the constraint before that.
Alter Table Table_Name NO CHECK constraints ALL.
Once I execute the above one, it says, "Successfully Executed" but when I try to drop it doesnt allow me and gives me the following error:
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The object 'DF_Users_Created_by' is dependent on column 'CREATED_BY'.
Server: Msg 4922, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN CREATED_BY failed because one or more objects access this column.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
I think the answer to this question will be something like 'you'll have to re-initialize the subscribers', but I need to ask anyway...
