Hi,
I have to transport a big database table and can't read it at once with "select * from table" because the table is bigger than my system memory.
Is there a way to read the table step by step? I thought it was possible with ADO and his serverside cursors but I don't now how. I need an "universal" solution that works on SQL Server 2000/2005, MySQL and Oracle.
Regards,
harry
Hi!
I hope the answer is as simple as the question -- but after reading all the documentation I could find (understand?) and a lot of posts here, I'm no closer to achieving the goal.
I have a Visual C# app, DAYTRACKER, developed in VS2005. It uses a database with several tables constructed using SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition.
I want to deploy the app plus the database plus SQL Express to another machine, to be used by a single user (the administrator) with no need for network connectivity of any kind.
What I have so far is:
1. The application is successfully deployed from a CD-ROM, having used the Publish process within VS2005, and opens on the new machine -- without database connectivity, however.
2. SQL Express is successfully deployed (it deployed as a 'prerequisite' when I went through the Publish process in VS2005)
3. I manually copied the database's .mdf and .mdl files, using SQL Server Managers 'Copy Database' function, then transferred the copies to the new machine into the ..MSSQL.1MSSQLdata folder (where they appear along with the master.mdg, mastlog.ldf etc files)
Now, the DAYTRACKER application's DAYTRACKERConnectionString under 'Settings' in the VS2005 studio reads 'Data Source=DELL3;Initial Catalog=DayTracker;Integrated Security=True' (which are the appropriate parameters for the machine, DELL3, on which I wrote the program.)
The problem, of course, is that SQL Express on the new machine doesn't connect the application to the database. When I go to the 'SQL Server Configuration Manager' and go to the 'SQL Server 2005 Services' and double-click on the 'SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)' icon (the service is running) and the user is logged on using 'Local System Account'. Under the 'Service' tab the Host Name is 'MUSIC' (which is the name of the new machine I've installed the app onto -- which of course is not the name - DELL3 - that the app's connection string is expecting). Under the 'Advanced' tab, I've tried correcting the name of the Startup Parameters default .mdf and .mdl entries to ..DayTracker.mdf and ..DayTracker_log.mdl, but the server won't start up after I make the changes.
What I'm hoping for: a step-by-step way of doing this type of deployment, preferable getting it all onto one CD-ROM, and installing it on the new machine so that it all works seamlessly from the start, not requiring any 'tweaking' of the SQLServer Express settings by the end-user.
But I'll take pretty much anything that fixes the specific db connectivity problem I've described.
Thank you very much.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a package that has multiple data flow tasks. At the end of a task, key data is written into a raw file (file name stored in a variable) that is used as a data source for the next task. Each task requires a success from the preceding task.
Here's the rub:
If I execute the entire package, the results of the package (number of records of certain tasks) differs significantly from when I execute each step in the package in turn (many more records e.g. 5 vs 350).
I get the feeling that the Raw file is read into memory before it is flushed by the previous task, or that the next task begins preparation tasks too early.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am running on Server 2003 64 (although the same thing happens when deployed on a Server 2003 32 machine)

Connecting to a networked SQL Server Box from my local machine
Open Query Analyzer from Start menu, logging in using sa account.
from the object browser i select my stored procedure (WEA_InsertClaim) - right click and select Debug.
i am prompted to enter the parameter values, which i do, auto rollback checkbox is checked - click Execute.
T-SQL Debugger opens and runs through the stored procedure.
but only buttons enabled are the "Go", "Toggle Breakpoint", "Clear All Breakpoints"
so i can set breakpoints etc. but when i select Go it will not stop at the breakpoints it just runs through the stored procedure from start to finish. giving the correct return code as its output
is there something i need to enable in order to make it stop at breakpoints??
Cheers,

Is there a good step by step guide to setting up an indirect configuration? I've followed the steps in Kirk Haselden's 'Keep your packages in the dark' article 3 or 4 times this afternoon and nothing seems to work. I cannot even get the XML configuration file to work by accessing it directly. I'm using the wizard to create the file.
Just wondering if there was something else out there....
Thanks in advance for any help.

This error pops up right after i change the type of the step to "SQL Server Intergration Services Package"
I have made the following configurations:
The user group (windows group) that the user belongs has the following roles in msdb :
db_dtsadmin
db_dtsltuser
db_dtsoperator
SQLAgentOperatorRole
SQLAgentReaderRole
SQLAgentUserRole
i have made a proxy to sql server agent which has the following subsystems :
"SQL Server Integration Services Provider" the proxy is tied to the same login which has those SQLagent and dts roles in msdb database.
Im using windows authentication and the user that logs into the sql server is in the same group that i have set all of the rights.
Ps. Clearly im missing some role or right somewhere because as soon as i give the group sysadmin role then all the users in that group can create SSIS steps in the agent.
Ps. Ps. I have been living under the impression that i dont have to give sysadmin rights to people that create ssis packages and schedule then with the agent.
I am trying to learn Reporting Services using the title "MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Step by Step" by Stacia Misner and Hitachi Consulting, published in 2006. I am experiencing problems with some of the exercises. I got as far as Chapter 4 when I followed directions to create a SQL statement to define a query string for a dataset. Pg 80:
select * from vProductProfitability
where year = 2003 and
MonthNumberOfYear = 1
The view vProductProfitability does not exist in the tutorial database that came with the book, rs2005sbsDW. The result of this query is the basis for the entire chapter on developing basic reports and I'm being denied a learning opportunity because the view does not exist. In short, I'm stuck.
I have tried to find somewhere at Microsoft to place this question and get some answers so I can continue thru the tutorial. To no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?
BTW, the solution that came in the CD is also wrong because the query noted above is also in the solution.

please guide me for replcation.....
i'm using sql server 2005 server tools developer edition. my OS is professional 2000.
and i've sqlserver 2000 client tools also
i've two databases in my machine. publisher is in different instance, and the transactions might be maximum 50 per day. my aim is when ever developer enters the data into the main database, automatically it should be updated on the my two databases also.
i mean the server is sysA and the database is srtp.
my machine is sys20 and the databases are srtp1, srtp2.
how should i make sysA as publisher?
i've right click on the server databases, but it is showing newsubscriptions option only.

Seems like there is no cursor support for MSDE. Is there a way other than clicking a DataGrid to step thru a selection of some tables?
I'd like to do some updating and insertion to another table using some selection criteria of two tables. Is there a way to do that in MSDE and ASP.NET environment?
I'm pretty new to MSDE and ASP.
Thanks.
Is the connection manager/connection string data that is visible in a SSIS Job Step on the Data sources tab stored in a system table or DMV? Perhaps the agent service parses the SSIS package in order to display this information? We're trying to identify all of the dependencies on a specific database and the only dependency type that we can't identify systematically is SSIS package data sources.
We use package configurations (of type = SQL Server database) for some packages but not all packages are using this.
Thanks,
Michelle
Hi,
I would like to know if there will every be a clean way to transfer a database from a remote server to a local server (and back again). I've tried several different approaches, but they all currently have bugs/problems.
I've looked into database publishing wizard - but this creates a huge script that takes 10x longer to run than the old DTS transfer.
I've tried copying data, and objects separate, but this requires multiple steps, using DTS this was all done in one step.
I've tried using SSIS Transfer SQL Objects, but the defaults are not created, using DTS, the ENTIRE database was transfered, which is what I want.
I've tried using SSIS Transfer Database, but even when I select "Online" mode, I get an error asking me to select at least one source file, but there is nothing to select (no files appear in the pop up window).
I've tried copy database or backup database, but I do not have suffient permission on the remote server for these.
So many different ways to do it, but all fail!
PLEASE - make a simple way to transfer a database from a remote host and back again. I want to be able to select a database source and destination and have the database copied. PLEASE - at least restore the old way until other options are working first.
Hi,I need help. I transferred my database from one server to another byusing attach detach process.I created all the jobs which existed in theold server in the new server. Everything looked fine but a couple ofjobs is a giving me some problems. When I try to edit the job step Icould see that the database dropdown list doesn't contain the databasename(which I transferred from the old server)Does anyone have any idea about it.ThanksArun

Hi All,
I am executing a stored procedure within a job step. This stored procedure executes the xp_sqlmaint stored procedure with some parameters. I run this job as 'sa'.
The job fails with the following error message:
sqlmaint.exe failed. Step failed.
What could cause this error? Please help. Thanks.
Hello,
I am wondering if anyone else has run into problems step debugging using vs 2005 t-sql stored procedures and functions. I have two issues.
1. sometimes my breakpoinst show up as hollow and the step debugger just runs thought
2. other times, I get in and the step debugger works for 4 -10 steps and then locks up.
Any ideas are appreciated. If there is a better place for me to post this problem, let me know. I have searched the web on this problem extensively and have not found a solution that fixes my issue. I am logged in with sysadmin which is the most common problem I could find online.
Thanks!

I'm trying to initiate an executable from a job step. This executable functions normally from a command prompt on the server and will initiate properly from a DTS package that is executed locally by a logged in user. It won't run from Query Analyzer, an Operating System Command jobstep, or a scheduled DTS package. The executable creates a report that gets written to disk and a window shows briefly during execution.
MS SQL 2000 on Win2K.
Any clues as to how to run this executable from a scheduled jobstep?
Thanks if you can help,

Is it possible to set up some kind of error handler in VB using the DTS DOM that will enable a retry of a step/task within a package? This is a DataPump task with a Custom Task. I am transferring 16 tables within each of the packages, 1 package for each of the 50 states, and executing them 1 at a time from a VB app. I can retry a package from the package error handler but can't find an equivalent for a step or task. I'd rather not have to resend tables, but restart from the table with the problem.
It is possible to write code to recreate an abbreviated form of the package but I'd like to avoid that, too.
Better yet, how can I avoid this error even appearing:
"Execution canceled (sic) by user".
I'm not cancelling anything, but about every 4th package this error comes up, not even while transferring the same table. If I retry the package, it almost always flies.
Hi, I've been writing simple database queries for a long time, but I've come to a point where I need to do more work with fewer queries, and I've not been able to make a dent in it. Please excuse my ignorance.
I have a relational database of prices that holds the following info:
Currencies (yen, euro, dollar)
Industries (chemistry, biology, etc)
Company/Institute size (<500, 500-1000, +1000)
Main Products (lab equipment, classroom equipment, etc.)
Series (subproducts) (100ml beaker, chalk, etc)
I want to build a form where my customers can select their currency, their industry and their company size, and then display prices for a specific product (series).
My problem is on the way to the product select. I don't want to display a huge list of EVERYTHING--I want the customer to be able to first select a Main Product, and then populate a list with the relevant sub product for them to select.
However my database is set up with three tables for the individual products: a MainProducts table with main products and ids, a Series table with sub products (we call them series) and ids, and a third table Products that combines the mainproductid with the subproductid to create a unique Productid that is used throughout the rest of the database to get the prices.
(see the relationships here: http://magneticmirror.com/db.gif. The reason for this is that Series in two different MainProducts can have the same name, and so constitute different Products)
The only way I know how to display the name of the relevant series (sub products) is to get the user to:
*select a MainProduct from a list;
*then select all ProductIDs from the the Products table with that MainProductID;
*then for each row from the Products table, take the SeriesID (sub product) and run that against the Series table to get the name of the series corresponding to that ID
if there are 50 series in a product line, that would be 50 individual queries just to populate the list.
There must be a better way. Is this what joining tables is about?
Thanks for any help.

Hi guys. I set up a maintenance job on my SQL 2000 server to back up a database. Before the job kicks in to back up the database, I would like to set up a step to check for a file first on another box. If the file exists, continues; otherwise, terminate the job. When I create a step, how can I check whether a file from \testserver empflag.log is there? What kind of method I can use?
I tried to paste some vbscript codes in the step; however, I don't know how to use vbscript to execute the next step. Below is the vbscript codes - please see bolds.
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
Dim objFso, LogFile, dteStart, sFolder, WshShell
sFolder = "\botest3ackupflag.log"
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
set LogFile = objfso.getfile(sFolder)
dteStart = Now()
Do Until DateDiff("n", dteStart, Now()) > 5 OR Not objFSO.FileExists(sFolder)
Wscript.Sleep 10000
Loop
If objFSO.FileExists(sFolder) Then
<don't know what to put here to execute the next step>
Else
WshShell.logevent 1, "Time Expired - Cannot Find Flag.log"
<also don't know what to put here to stop the job>
End if
Wscript.Quit
Set objFso = Nothing
Set sFolder = Nothing
Set dteStart = Nothing
Set dteStart = Nothing
Set WshShell = Nothing
1. There are 2 steps in one job. Even if one is succeed then
EXECUTE @IRetval = msdb.dbo.sp_get_composite_job_info @schedule_id = 8
IF (@IRetval <> 0)
BEGIN
SET @BResult = 0 --Failure
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @BResult = 1 --Success
END
gives success.
Do I need to create two jobs if I need to address whether all the steps are successful?
2. If the job fails then to which table does error code and error description is populated?

I have a SP that basically copies data from one table to another.
Some of the data could be duplicates and so the SP detects any primary
key violations (error 2627) and if detected uses a random number for
the PK and tries the insert again.
This SP works fine when run manually from Management Studio but when
scheduled as a job step, it fails. From investigation, it seems that
the logic to handle PK violations is being processed but if there are
more than around 16 PK violations in the batch copy, the job step
fails at around the 17th violation insert and fails to process the
rest of the step.
When this happens, as well as seeing the 2627 error logged in the
message field of the job log history, it also records an error code
3621 in the SQL Message ID field of the log with Severity 14.
Does anyone know why this SP should fail as a job? I have checked
permissions and also tried setting the agent login and job owner to
the same account that successfully ran the SP in Mangement Studio but
this also failed.
At present the only way to get this job to run is to set the step
retry attempts to a number greater than the number of fails. Each
time the job is rerun, it will process a certain number before failing
and it only fails after processing a certain number of PK violations.
This work around is fine in a test environment of a few hundred
records but this job needs to process roughly 75,000 records and if all
these happened to be duplicates, it would require over 4500 retries
assuming its fails after every 16 records.
Thanks in advance.
