A client of mine is trying to upgrade their SQL Server box. They are on SQL 2000 now and the new box will be SQL 2000 as well. Before you ask, they don€™t want to go to SQL 2005 for licensing issues (i.e. cost).
The problem I€™m having is that in addition to moving the database they need to add an update field (smalldatetime) with an index. Adding the new field and index to each table is taking around 16 hours on the new box. This client is an online retail shop and they are completely dependant on SQL being up. The have given me a 2-3 hour window to make the move. So how do I get the database moved and updated in 2-3 hours?
This is what I have done so far:
Argued for a longer install window. Being down for 16 hours is a no go, not even an option.
Restored a copy to the new server, add the new field and index. Created a temp database on the old server and triggers that log the PK any time a change is made to the current prod db. Then use a script to pull the changed data into the new prod. This looked like it was going to work but it when it gets to the larger and more heavily used tables it takes way to long (25+ minutes per table). That shoots the 2-3 hour window.
Next plan is to move the current database to the new box. Then each night update as many of the tables as I can until it€™s complete. I estimate this will take six to eight days. They are not very excited about being down every night for eight days.
So my question to all of you is; have you had to deal with a situation like this before and if so how did you resolve it? If not do you have any ideas as to how I can get the database moved and updated while keeping my client happy? I would be most appreciative of any advice or suggestions you may have.
Hello,I need to create a column that will store hours bigger than 24. Forexample '25:00:00', '129:23:12', etc).That column will be used too, for perform calculations betweendatetime intervals: 'time'.In MySQL there is a datatype that perfect fits that necessity.Does anyone know what is the corresponding datatype in SQL Server?Thanks a lot!
I am having some problems to calculate the basic work hours for a particular month. Example is I chose for the month of November, I would like to calculate the number of working days (not weekends) and then multiply by 8 (assuming work hour is 8). The month also would be dynamically chosen from a list and not a fix attribute Can this be done on reporting services? Basically I am trying to port the same calculation from crystal report. The crystal report code is as below:
(if DayOfWeek ({?From}) in 2 to 5 then 8 else if DayOfWeek ({?From}) = 6 then 7 else 0) +(DateDiff ("ww",{?From} ,{?To}, crMonday)* 8) + (DateDiff ("ww",{?From} ,{?To}, crTuesday)* 8) + (DateDiff ("ww",{?From} ,{?To}, crWednesday)* 8) + (DateDiff ("ww",{?From} ,{?To}, crThursday) * 8)+ (DateDiff ("ww", {?From}, {?To}, crFriday)*7 )
I have a brand-new Toshiba laptop, running Vista Business, that I installed SQL Express onto. Prior to installation, I was sure to install all the requisite IIS components so SSRS would install.
The installation ran fine -- installed all components. The configuration ran fine. Everything that is supposed to be green shows green
But, when I go to http://localhost/ReportServer, I get:
Server Error in Application "Default Web Site/ReportServer"
HTTP Error 404.2 - Not Found Description: The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the ISAPI and CGI Restriction list settings on the Web server.
No handler mapping for this request was found. A feature may have to be installed. The Web service extension for the requested resource is not enabled on the server. The mapping for the extension points to the incorrect location. The extension was misspelled in the browser or the Web server. What you can try:
Install the feature that handles this request. For example, if you get this error for an .ASPX page, you may have to install ASP.NET via IIS setup. Verify that the Web service extension requested is enabled on the server. Open the IIS Manager and navigate to the server level. In the Features view, double-click ISAPI and CGI Restrictions to verify that the Web service extension is set to Allowed. If the extension is not in the list, click Add in the Actions pane. In the Add ISAPI and CGI Restrictions dialog box, type the path of the .dll or .exe file in the ISAPI or CGI Path box, or click Browse to navigate to the location of the file. In the Description box, type a brief description of the restriction. (Optional) Check "Allow extension path to execute" to allow the restriction to run automatically. If you do not check this option, the restriction status is Not Allowed, which is the default. You can allow the restriction later by selecting it and clicking Allow on the Actions pane. Click OK. NOTE: Make sure that this Web service extension or CGI is needed for your Web server before adding it to the list. Verify that the location of the extension is correct. Verify that the URL for the extension is spelled correctly both in the browser and the Web server. Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code.

The only lead I could find when I googled this error was a reference to running appcmd to ensure that asp.net was enabled. It sure looks like it is:
Honestly... I'm out of ideas. I've been messing with this for 8 hours now, and I'm ready to fling the laptop out the window. I've completely UNinstalled SQL Server, IIS, reinstalled both, repeated the uninstall/reinstall after double-checking all files were deleted, and so on.
Does *anyone* know how to resolve this error? I checked IIS.NET and although they have a few references to it (not within the Reporting Services context) there never seems to be a definitive answer as to what the solution is.
Hello, I upgraded to Beta 3 and now mail isn`t working(I hate mail!) I found 2 error messages. One when trying to add an operators email id and the other when I try to "test" mail under server properties.
- Unable to start a mail session on the server with this mail profile.
- no mail profile defined.
The account that I am using is used for all our SQL Servers and was working on this server on 6.5 before the upgrade. I have checked the new SQLServerAgent service and it`s using the correct account.
Any help would be appreciated.
And to all you that are off for a long Labor Day weekend...I`m jealous!
My instance of SQL Server Developer stopped working after upgrade of OS from Vista to XP. I have also installed SP1 & SP2. Still it is not working. The message that I get when I start SQL Server Management Studio is "The application cannot start."
Hi guys, got an interesting scenario: I have a new Dell server with an "empty" Windows Server 2003 SE SP2 installation (all latest updates), joined to a 2003-native domain, ~60 GB/free space, 2 GB ram, P4, etc etc. I loaded up BackupExec 11d 7170, which installs SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1.
Before I even used Backup Exec, I knew I wanted to get SQLX05 SP2 installed. First, I followed the preliminary steps listed in the SQL Server 2005 Express Edtion SP2 readme file (backup master/model/msde and bedb/be_dlo databases, verify DB space, verify enabled services/accounts, stop dependant services).
By now it was after-hours and I was away from the office, so I logged into the server with my 2k3 Enterprise Admin account via Remote Desktop. I changed the server from Windows Update to Microsoft Update, and it found/downloaded/installed SQLX05 SP2 for me.
But about 7 minutes later, Microsoft Update told me it failed with code 0x3B30- and the Help & Support had no help for that code.
I started to look around the 'net for the error- I found that some people went into Add/Remove programs, clicked Change on SQLX05, selected the instance, and wound up clicking on "complete the suspended install"- unfortunately, it wanted the source for sqlrun_sql.msi, which I didn't have anywhere, so I clicked Cancel.
I looked at the server, and finally found the summary.txt file buried in C:program filesmicrosoft sql server90setup bootstraploghotfix. It showed passing the prereq check, product detection (2047/express), no disqual'd prods, no locked files, and then had this section:
Product Installation Status Product : Express Database Services (BKUPEXEC) Product Version (Previous): 2047 Product Version (Final) : Status : Failure Log File : C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapLOGHotfixSQL9Express_Hotfix_KB921896_SQLEXPR.EXE SQL Express Features : SQL_Data_Files,SQL_Engine,SQL_Replication,SQL_SharedTools Error Number : 15152 Error Description : Unable to install Windows Installer MSI file
Then I saw the hotfix.txt file in the same directory, which had at the end:
More digging found the C:program...loghotfixSQL9Express_Hotfix_KB921896_SQLEXPR.EXEFilesSQLSetup0002_BKUP1_SQL.log file- which was 6822 kb large! But there are repeated errors in it that go something like this:
SQL Server Setup has encountered the following problem: Failed to execute the Transact-SQL statement: EXEC sp_update_user_instance N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLInstallsysdbupg.sql' Script file: The error was: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Cannot update user instances. Reason: Cannot start user instance 'D66F74F5-91FF-40' for update. Error code: 0x3c0c.. To continue, correct the problem, and then run SQL Server Setup again.

sqlStatement Originial error was 80073b30 (15152) on SqlScript SqlUpgradeScriptHlpr
Error Code: 15152
Now here's the strange part- I saw something on the 'net that suggested rebooting and applying it again. So I rebooted the server, went to Microsoft Update- and it didn't show that I needed the SQLX05 SP2 update. I checked the Application event log, and it showed that during the SQLX05 startup SQLX05 reported version number 9.00.3042.00! I ran a TSQL command (with sqlcmd) and systemproperty('productlevel') came back as SP2.
I finished my TSQL command, and got a popup from Microsoft Error reporting saying some errors happened recently for hotfix.exe. I clicked showdetails, and the p-vals with information were P2=0x3b30, P4=0x3b30, P5=copyengine.cpp@1653 , P7=sql9express. So I sent the report up.
Out of curiousity, I went back to Add/Remove programs, clicked on SQLX05 and "change", selected the instance, next, next, and wound up at the SQL Server Install Wizard. It STILL had a box for me to click on saying "Complete the Suspended Installation"- so I cancelled it.
But everything "looks" fine! Is it? Can I trust it?? Could Sql Server Express have automatically ran the failed sql files after the reboot?
Upgraded SQL Server 2005 x64 to Service Pack 1 expressly for the purpose of enabling Database Mail from SQL Job, which was a known bug that was listed as fixed in this Service Pack. It still does not work; in fact after installing SP1 on an x86 SQL Server Standard, Database Mail does not work from there now either, although it did prior to the upgrade! I am using Integrated Security.
Error message received: The job succeeded. The Job was invoked by User <name>. The last step to run was step 1 (Select). NOTE: Failed to notify 'Mike Schelstrate' via email.
Message in Error Log: [264] An attempt was made to send an email when no email session has been established.
Send test Email does work on both Servers.
Here is another Error message I found in the SQL Error Logs: [298] SQLServer Error: 2812, Could not find stored procedure 'msdb.dbo.xp_sqlagent_notify'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (DisableAgentXPs). Looks like this may be the root of the problem because it does not exist, I checked. How do I obtain this missing extended stored procedure?
I have data coming from a telephony system that keeps track of when anemployee makes a phone call to conduct a survey and which project numberis being billed for the time the employee spends on that phone call in aMS SQL Server 2000 database (which I don't own).The data is being returned to me in a view (see DDL for w_HR_Call_Logbelow). I link to this view in MS access through ODBC to create alinked table. I have my own view in Access that converts the integernumbers for start and end date to Date/Time and inserts some otherinformation i need.This data is eventually going to be compared with data from someelectronic timesheets for purposes of comparing entered hours vs hoursactually spent on the telephone, and the people that will be viewing thedata need the total time on the telephone as wall as that total brokendown by day/evening and weekend. Getting weekend durations is easyenough (see SQL for qryTelephonyData below), but I was wondering ifanyone knew of efficient set-based methods for doing a day/eveningbreakdown of some duration given a start date and end date (with theday/evening boundary being 17:59:59)? My impression is that to do thiscorrectly (i.e., handle employees working in different time zones,adjusting for DST, and figuring out what the boundary is for switchingfrom evening back to day) will require procedural code (probably inVisual Basic or VBA).However, if there are set-based algorithms that can accomplish it inSQL, I'd like to explore those, as well. Can anyone give any pointers?Thanks.--DDL for view in MS SQL 2000 database:CREATE VIEW dbo.w_HR_Call_LogASSELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.TRCUsers.WinsID, dbo.users.username ASInitials, dbo.billing.startdate, dbo.billing.startdate +dbo.billing.duration AS EndDate,dbo.billing.duration, dbo.projects.name ASPrjName, dbo.w_GetCallTrackProject6ID(dbo.projects.descript ion) AS ProjID6,dbo.w_GetCallTrackProject10ID(dbo.projects.descrip tion) AS ProjID10,dbo.billing.interactionidFROM dbo.projects INNER JOINdbo.projectsphone INNER JOINdbo.users INNER JOINdbo.TRCUsers ON dbo.users.userid =dbo.TRCUsers.UserID INNER JOINdbo.billing ON dbo.users.userid =dbo.billing.userid ON dbo.projectsphone.projectid =dbo.billing.projectid ONdbo.projects.projectid = dbo.projectsphone.projectidWHERE (dbo.billing.userid 0)ORDER BY dbo.billing.startdateI don't have acess to the tables, but the fields in the view comethrough as the following data types:WinsID - varchar(10)Initials - varchar(30)startdate - long integer (seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00)enddate - long integer (seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00)duration - long integer (enddate - startdate)ProjID10 - varchar(15)interactionid - varchar(255) (the identifier for this phone call)MS Access SQL statement for qryTelephonyData (based on the view,w_HR_Call_Log):SELECT dbo_w_HR_Call_Log.WinsID, dbo_w_HR_Call_Log.ProjID10,FORMAT(CDATE(DATEADD('s',startdate-(5*60*60),'01-01-197000:00:00')),"yyyy-mm-dd") AS HoursDate,CDATE(DATEADD('s',startdate-(5*60*60),'01-01-1970 00:00:00')) ASStartDT,CDATE(DATEADD('s',enddate-(5*60*60),'01-01-1970 00:00:00')) AS EndDT,DatePart('w',[StartDT]) AS StartDTDayOfWeek, Duration,IIf(StartDTDayOfWeek=1 Or StartDTDayOfWeek=7,Duration,0) ASWeekendSeconds,FROM dbo_w_HR_Call_LogWHERE WinsID<>'0'

I have a client whose DBA upgraded their SQL 2000 database to SQL 2005. They still have it running in 8.0 compatibility mode, for various reasons, and would like me to help them develop a migration strategy to get them to full 9.0 compatibility.
My question is: can I run the Upgrade Advisor on a SQL 2005 engine database running in 8.0 compatibility mode and get anything useful? I already know there will be some issues with existing DTS packages but it would be nice to catch any other issues in advance.
I know that the Upgrade Advisor was run before the upgrade took place but to my knowledge the report was not saved and none of the recommendations were followed.
We have a few Servers that have space issues that need full DB Backups every day. As a result, we have to carefully watch how many DB Backup files we keep on the Server. On the Maintenance Plan, if I set the 'Delete files older than:' to '1' 'Day', will this delete anything over 24 hours old? What I have noticed, is that it tends to delete on Tuesday anything that was created on Sunday, but not Monday. Therefore, I am assuming that instead of '1 Day' being 24 hours, it is anything less than 47 hours and 59 minutes...
Is my assumption correct or do I need to look at something else. Thanks!

I have a job that runs between the hours of 10 PM and 9 AM. It launches a controller stored procedure that will call other stored procedure until the entire process is done.I would like the controlling stored procedure to only call the steps between the hours of 10PM and 9AM also..

I use SQL 2K with an Access 2000 project as front end. I have four date fields in a table. The first one should contain a date (eg 20th of February), the second one a starting hour (eg 8:00h), the third one the finishing hour (eg 10:00h) and the fourth should calculate the difference between the second and third column. So I created four datetime fields. Storing a date in the first column is no problem, but storing only hours doesn't seem to do what I want. When I enter 8:00 from within the Access, it is stored 1/1/1900 8:00 in SQL Server. How can I make sure that the hours are saved with the date of the second column, so either as 8:00 without further information or as eg 20-2-2004 8:00?

Is there a function in SQL Server 2005 that can add GMT deviation hours to the existing date. I have a data field with the GMT_Deviation_Hours listed in numeric format e.g. -1, 12 etc. I have another date field to whom i wish to deviate the datetime according to the GMT_Deviation hours.
I have to compare 1 hour between two days , example:
I have this datetime value (BitacoraProcesoUsuario.FechaInicioProceso) in 108 format : 23:35:22
and I make this query:
Select TOP 100 * from BitacoraProcesoUsuario INNER JOIN Turno ON convert(varchar,BitacoraProcesoUsuario.FechaInicioProceso,108) > = '24:00:00' AND convert(varchar,BitacoraProcesoUsuario.FechaInicioProceso,108) <= '06:29:00'
and returns nothing........ this because 23:35:22 is gtreater than 06:29:00' value, my question is how can I compare this hours in this format.
I would like to know the best method or the simplest method to do the following. Take a datetime value and subtract a given number of hours. I am taking a UTC time and subtracting a given number or hours in a query. I seem to be getting mixed results.
What is the best data type to use when tracking hours, for example; 2.30 < this is stored in DB (two hours and thirty minutes) 5.15 < this is stored in DB (5 hours and fifteen minutes)
MS SQLJust to confirm, I need to store the number of hours a user has spent doing something, am I correct using the smalldatetime field for the MS SQL database?I will eventually need to be able to calculate totals using SQL Reporting Services so it's important that the hours add up correctly (to 60 minutes, not 100).ASP.NETI'm trying to find the correct sort of formatting to use? Short time stores the time as 9:50AM, which isn't what i'm after.I need to store the hours as in 1 hour, or 01:00:00 (1 hour, 0 minutes, 0 seconds) or just 01:00 for 1 hour. I do need minutes but seconds are not required.I can't find the right formatting for this, would Long time be more suited?
