How To Manage The Version Of Tables,View, And So On
Jan 12, 2004
Hi.
I am managing the SQL script files for constructing tables,views,and so on with Visual Source Sefe.
But once I run these scripts with a tool like Query Analyzer
for the database in SQL Server,
I do not know How to get the versions of the scripts which were installed now, with using Enterprise Manager or any tool associated with SQL Server2000.
Please tell me How are you managing and
know which version of scripts have been installed on database in SQL Server.
Table structure: col1 IDENTITY (seed=1 increment=1) + few other columns (col2...col7) + one text column (col 8) I have around 50,000,000 rows per day inserted in the table T1. At the end of the day 40,000,000 rows are deleted. I have to keep the records for 12 months and then archive it. Database is 24/7 web serving and there is no down time allowed. IDENTITY column will go out of range (overflow) after less than two years, unless the identity seed is reset to the start value (seed=1, increment=1). At the end of 12th month data is archived in another table and only last month is kept in the table T1. So table T1 enters new year with data from last month of the previous year. There are few other tables that refer to this table by using there own field with values from T1.IDENTITY column (referential integrity is not enforced). Identity column in T1 is needed as a unique id for some search actions. Performance is an issue therefore bigint data type is used for this identity column rather than decimal.
Another problem I have is how to do table update on one column (1 mil rows to be updated out of 2 mil of rows) with the minimum impact on the users who are querying this table heavily. Not need to mention that it is web app 24/7 no down time.
I am running a vba procedure ( adp file ) that executes successively 5 stored procedures . however it happens that the execution breaks at the middle of the code thus giving a situation where only 2 tables among 5 are updated.
Is it any solution to rollback transactions update already done before the code breaks due to error ?
I was thinking about combining all stored proc on a big one and use Begin transaction - commit transaction and rollback transaction ... however i am not sure wheter updates involving several tables can be handled on one transaction.
Suppose someone has to work on a lot of different SQL Server Databases which have got a lot of Tables and Queries / Views inside them.
After a period of time, it becomes very difficult to remember exactly what kind of columns are present within a given Table and View.
Any method by which one can keep a systematic list of all the Tables and Views that are present within a SQL Server Database, along with the columns that are present within them.
Are there any Add-on products or services etc. available in making this type of work systematic?
Currently I add comments to each queries inside SQL Server to remind me of what this query is doing, but this method is not great.
I am pulling info out of MSDB to report on job schedules. As we have a mixture of 2005 and 2000 servers, I am varying my select statement according to the result of [Code]
Set @Version = SubString(Convert(VarChar(10), (Select ServerProperty('ProductVersion'))),1,1)
[/Code]
I have to vary the tables for each condition. Not a problem, [Code] if @Version = 9 begin Select whatever from table1 join table2 end Else begin Select whatever from table1 join table3 end
Problem is that SQL 2005 is trying to verify the existence of the fields in the tables on compile (it knows that the table, for example, sysjobschedules exists in 2005, but the field "Name" doesn't - although it does in 2000) , even after the if statement checking if the version is 8, and SQL 2000 uses 2 tables whilst 2005 needs 3, and the fields I need are on one table in 2000, but in a different table in 2005. SQL 2000 is fine with it - it just does it. Syntax checking is fine. Just to clarify, here is my code: [Code]
Declare @Version Char(1), @CurrentDate datetime
Set @CurrentDate = GetDate()
Create Table #TempSchedDetails
( Server VarChar(30)
,CurrentDate VarChar(19)
,JobName VarChar(80)
,ScheduleName VarChar(80)
,Freq_Type Char(1)
,Freq_Interval VarChar(2)
,JobEnabled Bit
,Freq_Subday_Type VarChar(25)
,ScheduleEnabled Bit
,StartTime VarChar(25)
,EndTime VarChar(25)
)
Set @Version = SubString(Convert(VarChar(10), (Select ServerProperty('ProductVersion'))),1,1)
If @Version = '9'
Begin
Insert Into #TempSchedDetails
Select left(@@SERVERNAME,30)
,GetDate()--@CurrentDate
,J.Name
,SS.Name
,SS.Freq_Type
,SS.Freq_Interval
,J.Enabled
,SS.Freq_SubDay_Type
,SS.Enabled
,SS.Active_Start_Time
,SS.Active_End_Time
From msdb..SysJobs J
Left Outer Join msdb..SysJobSchedules JS on J.Job_Id = JS.Job_Id
Join msdb.dbo.SysSchedules SS ON JS.schedule_id = SS.Schedule_Id
Order By J.Name, Active_Start_Time
End
Else
Begin
Insert Into #TempSchedDetails
Select left(@@SERVERNAME,30)
,@CurrentDate
,J.Name
,S.Name
,S.Freq_Type
,S.Freq_Interval
,J.Enabled
,S.Freq_SubDay_Type
,S.Enabled
,S.Active_Start_Time
,S.Active_End_Time
From MSDB..SysJobs J
Left Outer Join MSDB..SysJobSchedules S On J.Job_Id = S.Job_Id
Order by J.name, Active_Start_Time
End [/Code] Any ideas as to how to turn the precompile checking off in 2005?
We have an archive table which keeps each instance of a sales order that was archived under a "Verion No" field. Each time the sales order is archived it is entered into the archive tables (Sales Header Archive, Sales Line Archive). What I am trying to do is write a query to return all sales orders but only the most recent archived version.
For example this table layout is similar to what I am working with. Version No, Order No and Customer No. are the keys between the Header and Line tables, Customer Name column in the output is from only the Sales Header Archive table
SALES LINE ARCHIVE TABLE Version No - Order No. - Customer No -----> (other columns) 1 s-5 1000
RESULTS OF JOINED TABLES Version No - Order No - Customer No - Customer Name ---> (other columns) 2 s-5 1000 Something, Inc. 1 s-6 2000 Acme 3 s-7 3000 Company, LLC 1 s-8 4000 Blah & Associates 2 s-9 2000 Acme
It should return the last Version No of each Sales order.
Does that make sense? It is something probably easy... But, I've spent two days using multiples and multiples of different ways, that just aren't working: I'm about to dropkick my server cabinet...
I am trying to show images in a product listing in power view.I work with an excel 2013 desktop version based on an office 365 pro account.I did the following steps:
import of an excel file with an article list via power query and loading the data to the data model import jpg images from a folder via power query, setting content as binary type and loading the data to the data modellinking both tables in power pivot--> manage via the image namesetting the table behavior for the images table under power pivot --> manage --> Advanced (e.g. Default Image: Content)opening power view and building article cards with article number and imageProblem: only a camera icon shows up in power view
Is there a solution with a desktop version?Can I use my Office 365 Pro account to make it work? How?Why is there no solution showing images in a pivot table?Link to Dropbox with power pivot filesÂ
I have suddenly lost the ability to view the tables for one of my database via Enterprise Manager. It just sits at an hourglass and never returns! Alos, if I attempt to link to the tables via MSAccess's ODBC interface, I get a timeout.
I am able to view the table list for other user databases, as well as the system databases.
I am able to view other object list (like SPs) for the database in question, via Enterprise Manager.
I am able to perform a select query against the sysobjects table for the database in question.
Any ideas on why Enterprise Manager, and ODBC links, are hanging while trying to access the tables for one particular user database?
Any help is appreciated.
All other functions appear normal. If I can't figure anything out, or no one has any other ideas, I will try rebooting the server after the users are gone for the day.
Hi, I€™m new to sql ex 2005 and have a couple of questions I can€™t find the answers to. Q.1 I am working with VS web dev ex 2005 and I€™m trying to backup my db, is it as simple as copying the .mdf file? Or should I create a text file, or something else? Q.2 How do I view the content of the db in my web programs in the sql server 2005 ex? I can€™t figure out what to do, to view the content. I have tried to find tutorials on ex 05 but can€™t find answers to my questions. Help would be appreciated. Thank you.
I am trying to find the list of tables that make up any particular view in SQL server 2000. The information schema - VIEW_TABLE_USAGE would be the best tool, if only the sysdepends table worked! When I use the schema I get some but not all of my views. Has anyone got a solution, prefably one without cursors, that can identitfy the source tables for a view? I have used the following SQL, but unfortunately it gives too many results: SELECT VIEWS.name AS VIEW_NAME, TABLES.name AS TABLE_NAME, VIEW_SQL.text FROM sysobjects VIEWS INNER JOIN syscomments VIEW_SQL ON VIEWS.id = VIEW_SQL.id INNER JOIN sysobjects TABLES ON VIEW_SQL.text LIKE '%.' + TABLES.name + '%' WHERE (VIEWS.xtype = 'V') AND (TABLES.xtype = 'U') ORDER BY VIEWS.name, TABLES.name Justin
I would like to create a view that joins these tables. Each row show a product and all the qualities it has, from quality 1 to quality 8. If there is no N'th quality, to show blank/null/zero.
The problem is how to get values from multiple rows (in table Qualities) in a single row in the view.
Dear friends, is there any way to find the table names from a view?
ex: suppose i have a view named as vorganization.i need all the tables in this view. is it possible to get through a query? same case for procedures and functions also.........
Hi,I hope this is the right place to ask this question. If it is not,please let me know a more appropriate place.I have two tables.CREATE TABLE tblEmployees(EmployeeID int identity NOT NULL,LastName varchar(50) NULL,FirstName varchar(50) NULL,);CREATE TABLE tlkpDept(DeptID char(5) NULL,Name char(10) NULL,LongName char(50) NULL);Now I want to create a view called AssignedTo. [The application I'mdoing, will track the status of our customer requests. Each requestcan be assigned to either an individual employee or an entiredepartment]I want the view to have two columns, ID and LongName. ID should beeither the DeptID or the EmployeeID. The LongName column should beeither the LongName or the FirstName + LastName.I'm not even sure how to begin to write such a complex SQL.EnterpriseManager is being less than helpful too.Can anyone help?Thanks in advance.-Tom
I have about 14 tables that I am trying to tie together in a view tosee a user's status in our company.Joe User:Email - ActiveADP - ActivePortal - Inactiveetc.We need to track application access across the company, so we havetables for each application that contain user info(username,password(encrypted), start date, end date, changed date) so that wecan track who has what, and when they were given access as well aswhen it was taken away.Every application table has a userID attached to it.What I would like to do is to take the userID field and look for theirapplication access across the company. To do this, i'll have to lookfor the max value in each table because someone could be given access,have it taken away, and be given it again. People move all over theplace here, so we have to be able to track who has what, when, and atwhat building.I started out with trying to left outer join the tables together, butit didn't work. I tried doing something along the lines of:selectesarfAppEmail.emailID,esarfAppEmail.esarfUserID,CASE WHEN esarfAppEmail.endDate IS NULL Then 'Active' else 'Inactive'end as EmailStatus--,
If I have table1 and table2 with table2 having multiple rows tied to asingle row in table 1.What I am trying to do is set up a view that has one row that showsthe followingtable1.uniqueid, table1.name, table2.row1.detail, table2.row2.detail,table2.row3.detailI'd like to be able to do a select on the view and only come back withone row per widget. If possible, I'd actually like to be able toconcat all the rows from table 2 into one column if that's possible.table1.uniqueid, table1.name, (table2.row1.detail - table2.row2.detail- table2.row3.detail), table1.dateCreatedthxM@
We have created a view that selects from tables in two databases. it looks like something like this:
CREATE VIEW myview AS
SELECT col FROM db1.mytab
UNION SELECT col FROM db2.mytab;
Both tables have col as primary key.
When we executes SELECT col FROM myview WHERE col='SOMEVALUE' we receives the correct result but SQL server does not use any indexes. It performs a index scan on both tables. Wh and what can we do about it? The tables contains millions of rows so the performance is terrible.
The following works fine:
SELECT col FROM db1.mytab WHERE col ='SOMEVALUE'
UNION SELECT col FROM db2.mytab WHERE col ='SOMEVALUE';
I am new to SQLSERVER, so I am trying to learn from all these database views, in Oracle it use 'desc all_tables ' to database dictionary view, can some one tell me how to view SQLserver dictionary view like INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES, or sys.tables?
IF I login as sa, but I only want to view the table list one schema at a time? how do I do that?
I tried :
select table_name from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES where table_schema='CIT'....
select table_name from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES where table_schema='CIT.DBO'.... give 0 result too.
it give me 0 result, but if I login as CIT, then
'select table_name from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES' will give 14 tables.
Plus, When I log into Query analyzer, all the tables has dbo. prefix. , why is that?
Is there any way to restore a database of higher version to lower version.
E.g. I have created a database in sql server 2012, created some tables & procedures in that.I took Full backup of that database. Can I restore it to sql 2008r2 or any lower version.
I know direct restore is not possible, I have to use either import or export option or generating script,but i want to know is there any easy step to do so.
Since some analysis services features are only available in Enterprise version , I have to upgrade my SQL 2005 server from standard edition to enterpise edition.
So I uninstall originial standard version of analysis service and install a Enterprise version. However, the analysis service is still a standard version after installation.
Is it possible to keep data engine as standard version and install a enterprise version of analysis service?
Hello,I have been searching and reading a lots of information on the microsoft website about the different version of SQL server, but still can not make my decision.In term of performance, is there a real big difference between the workgroup and the standard version? The workgroup is limited to 3 GB of RAM while the standard is unlimited, would that really change the performance if my server has 16Gb or RAM?The price difference is pretty substantial so if could only have to buy the workgroup , it would be better.One more question, regarding the type of licence, my server has 2 processors, could I avoid buying 2 licences and get the Server plus CAL instead. I am using this server to host 4 web-application running on SQL server. Each database is about 15 MB.Thanks in adavance for your advises.Arno
I am wondering if it is possible to change from SQL Server Enterprise Evaluation Version to Developer Version. The reason is because the Enterprise Evaluation version expires after 180 days. So if I create reports and cubes in Enterprise Evaluation I can import them into Developer Edition right? Should I remove the Enterprise Evaluation version after 180 days or leave it then install Developer Edition?

I have an ssis package that downloads a SQL Server 2000 database and restores it to a SQL 2005 server. Ninety-five percent of the time it runs just fine, but every so often the job fails and I get the following set of error messages in the log file.

I have received the error message "Package migration from version 8 to version 6 failed".I have developed a SSIS package with Visual Studio 2013 which gives me PackageFormatVersion of 8. I then deploy my package to the ssisdb catalog that is running on a SQL Server 2012, this works fine but when I try to execute the package the error arises…due to SQL Server 2012 has a PackageFormatVersion of 6 and it can’t run something that has a greater version.I haven’t seen any good solution for this but one that would work for me would be to upgrade the Integration Services Server from 2012 to 2014, leaving everything else in 2012 (database, ssms, ssas, ssrs).Would this solve the package format problem? Would I then be able to execute my packages in the ssisdb catalog?

PhoneType is an auxiliary table that has 5 records in it Home phone, Cell phone, Work phone, Pager, and Fax. Is there a way to do a join or maybe make a view of a view that would allow me to ultimately end up with…

Some students will have no phone number, some will have all 5 most will have one or two. If possible I would like to do a setup like this in my database to keep from having to have null fields for 4 phone numbers that the majority of records won’t have. Thanks in advanced, Nathan Rover
Hi to all I have a View of 3 tables I would like to be able to update insert data into Views table that in return do the same in the original tables is that possible? Thank you
I have a application that uses a MSDE database to store information. The application seems to hit into a database corruption problem. Now I would like to view all the datas and tables created in the database. How can I do that using OSQL ?? What are the commands to view all the tables in this database ? Or is there any other better applications to do the viewing ?? Please advise. Thanx a lot !!
Here I need to create a view by using following criteria, there is 3 tables which are Tbl.adminCategory, tbl_adminuser, tbl_outbox respectively. I am working on 2000SQL server
I am treing to create view as following but getting some error.
SELECT tbl_adminuser.adminUserName, tbl_AdminCategory.Name, COUNT(tbl_outbox.msgUserID), FROM tbl_adminuser INNER JOIN tbl_AdminCategory ON tbl_adminuser.adminUserID = tbl_AdminCategory.CatID INNER JOIN tbl_outbox ON tbl_AdminCategory.CatID = tbl_outbox.msgUserID AND tbl_outbox.msgUserID <> 0 GROUP BY tbl_outbox.msgUserID But I am getting error pls correct the view,
