Hello:I didn't find any documentation that notes save point names are casesensitive, but I guess they are...Stored Proc to reproduce:/* START CODE SNIPPET */If Exists (Select * From sysobjects Where Type = 'P' and Name ='TestSaveTran')Drop Procedure dbo.TestSaveTranGoCreate Procedure dbo.TestSaveTranAsBeginDeclare@tranCount int--Transaction HandlingSelect @tranCount = @@TRANCOUNTIf (@tranCount=0)Begin Tran localtranElseSave Tran localtranBegin Try--Simulate Error While ProcessingRAISERROR('Something bad happened', 16, 1)/*If this proc started transaction then commit it,otherwise return and let caller handle transaction*/IF (@tranCount=0)Commit Tran localtranEnd TryBegin Catch--Rollback to save pointRollback Tran LOCALTRAN --<< NOTE case change--Log Error--Reraise ErrorEnd CatchEndGo--Execute Stored ProcExec dbo.TestSaveTran/*Should receive the following message:Cannot roll back LOCALTRAN. No transaction or savepoint of that namewas found.*//* END CODE SNIPPET */What is really strange, if there is a transaction open, then no erroris thrown. So if you execute as so:/* START CODE SNIPPET */Begin Tran--Execute Stored ProcExec dbo.TestSaveTran/* END CODE SNIPPET */There is no "Cannot roll back LOCALTRAN...." message.Questions:1-)Can someone confirm save point names are case sensitve and this isnot happening because of a server setting?2-)Is this a logic error that I am not seeing in the example codeabove?We have changed our code to store the save point name in a variable,which will hopefully mitigate this "problem".Thx.

Hi all,I'm very new to ASP.NET stuffs, I'm trying to write a Search function for my website... I have two text boxes, one if called "SongTitle" and the other is "Artist"... Now I need to populate the GridView to display the result, based on the input of the textbox... So if only the "SongTitle" have input, it will search for the Song Titles on the database... if the Artist is searched, then it will return the artist... If both text boxes have value in them, then it need to check for both fields in the database and return the correct item... For the "Artist", I have 2 columns in the Database (originalArtist and performer), so for the Artist select statement, it need to check both columns on the table, if any of them match then it will return the item. Any help would be greatly appreciated,Thank you all,Kenny.

View 2 Replies View Relatedhi all.
please help with my dilemma.
this is my task:
i should write a service that will run every 1 hour.
this service should check a folder.
inside this folder there are some xml files, all of them in the same format exactly.
when the service encounters with this xml file, it should open it,pull some data out of it, and update a table in the db.
NOW - I HAVE 2 OPTIONS, AND THIS IS THE DILEMMA:
should i write a clr function to do this task, or should i just write a standard c# windows service, that will open a connection to the db when it should perform update?
what are the advatages?
something like max,min?
help please!!!
I'd like to select the last unshipped order, or if none is open, the last shipped order, for each customer. I noticed that all the examples on line for OUTER APPLY involve table-valued functions, but I have read (in a book I don't have here) that a subquery can work. The following shows what I want, but it isn't valid syntax:
SELECT c.CustomerName, oa.OrderNumber, oa.Status
FROM Customers c
OUTER APPLY (
SELECT TOP 1 CustomerID, OrderNumber,
CASE WHEN ShipDate IS NULL
THEN 'due ' + CAST(DueDate AS VARCHAR)
ELSE 'shipped ' + CAST(ShipDate AS VARCHAR)
END AS Status,
CASE WHEN ShipDate IS NULL
THEN DueDate + 1000 -- Give open orders priority.
ELSE ShipDate
END AS SortOrder
ORDER BY SortOrder
) AS oa ON oa.CustomerID = c.CustomerID
I've got a function which inserts into a database, and has arguments for each item being inserted
A couple of the items are integer datatypes (in SQL), but they will accept nulls
When I add my parameters, it asks to explicitly use the SQL datatype (which is integer):.Add("@myParam", SqlDbType.Int).Value = myParam
In the header of the function, I assumed I could make the argument optional - Optional ByVal myParam as Integer=System.DBNull.Value
However, when the function runs, I always get an error:System.InvalidCastException was unhandled by user code Message="Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Integer' is not valid."
I make them all Optional (which won't happen, but various arguments may be, at different timesand I get this error, with the last item (which is on a separate line), in red:Constant expression is required.
How can I get around this?
I have a SQL database with an Access front end. In the database Ihave a read only and a read write role. When a read only user opensthe database I want all the fields on the form to be locked so thatthe user will not try to change data and get an error from the server.Right now I am doing that with a table. But it's a hassle to have tomaintain a table when if I could answer the question is the currentlylogged in user in the read write role?My server is running SQL Server 2000. So I was wondering if I couldwrite a function to do this? The function would take the role beingchecked as a text parameter and return true if the currently logged inuser is in that role or false if he/she isn't.

We will get the same error for truncate/drop statements.

Hi friends,
I got troubles when I tried to pass table name to sp_columns via
@local_variable:
declare @tname as char(50)
set @tname = 'TB_MyTable'
exec sp_columns @tname
result of such script is:
TABLE_QUALIFIER ...[skipped]
-----------------------------------
(0 row(s) affected)
But if I will say:
exec sp_columns 'TB_MyTable'
result will be correct (all neccessary data about columns will be provided)
So, looks like if I pass table name which contains underscore via
@local_variable or SP parameter - result will be wrong.
If table name won't contains underscore - everything works fine and result
of script:
declare @tname as char(50)
set @tname = 'MyTable'
exec sp_columns @tname
will be absolutely correct.
Please, anybody can clarify this situation ???
Thanks in advance,
Michael

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn MS Sql 2000 - is it possible to find the literal underscore character (_). Something like:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like 'a\_%'
where the query would return "a_abc", "a_cba", and "a_lksdfjlkdsjlksjdfl", but not "abc"?
I've tried:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like 'a\_%'
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar like ( 'a' + CHAR(95) + '%' )
Any other suggestions?
I have made a stored procedure, it makes successfully when created, but when I open it in modify, there is a red underscore under the procedure name.
When I place the courser over the red underscore, the massage is "Invalid object name"
I have filenames and I want to get a substring of the file name up to the last underscore if it exists and if not up to the last period.
Create table FileNames (fileName varchar(40))
insert into FileNames values ('this_is_a_long_filename.ext')
insert into FileNames values ('this_is_an_even_longer_filename.ext')
insert into FileNames values ('short_filename.ext')
insert into FileNames values ('supershort.ext')
What I want returned is:
this_is_a_long
this_is_an_even_longer
short
supershort
I want to establish logging using NT Security. The problem is that user names in NT have underscore(_). When I establish NT Scurity in SQL security manager, SQL Server tries to add blank names as login id and they will not go through. Is it manadatory to remove underscore from username?
Because of structrual hierarchy, I have different groups in NT to be mapped to SQL Server groups and each group has different permission on SQL tables. In some cases we might have same users in more than one group. I read that it is not possible if you use NT integrated security. Is there any thing that can be worked around this and is this problem still exists in SQL 7.
Thank you in advance

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am working on a ASP.NET 2.0 project with an SQL 2005 database.
I created a documents table with various columns including:
DocumentId and DocumentUrl
My documents will always be PDF's of SWF's (Flash Paper Files)
I will need to display this files in my web pages.
My question is:
Should I save the DocumentUrl in the database or should I save the file itself in the database?
And how can I save files in an SQL 2005 database?

hi all
I am working on query performance and tuning.
I want to save current statistics for the latter use. do SQL Server provide any utility or command (like exec dbms_stats in ORACLE and OPTDIAG in sybase) to do this?
thanks

No. No I do not want to save changes to that sp_who2 query I just ran. I just want to close the window, and not be bothered with the computer's obsessive compulsive need to save everything I do. Dang it all, it sounds like my computer is working for the NSA leaving a paper trail that even a kitten with Attention Deficit Disorder on catnip could follow.
As you can tell, I am weaning myself off of Query Analyzer, and can not find the checkbox for "Don't bother me when I close a window". Anyone else come across it, yet? It does not appear to be under tools->options or query->query options.
Hi
When I was using Enterprise Manager (SQL 2000) and stored my query result (to file), it was stored in Ansi Encoding.
After I upgrade to SQL Server Management Studio (2005), it seams that when I store the query result to file it's Unicode Encoded. This give me a lot of trouble, when I use other program who I must read this file. For small result set, I can open it in Notepad, save it as ANSI, and then use it in my other program. When the result set is so big that Notepad not can help me, I can't use the stored result set.
There must be a way to store my Query result in Ansi encoding, but I don't know how I can do it. Hope some one know, and can help me solve this big problem.

I am new to sql sever management studio express, but a long time query analyzer user. This is a very basic question.
I want to change the default directory in sql server management studio express so that when I go to save a query, it is already pointed to the correct one. Where do I change that?
Thanks,

I was using the msdn tutorial regarding sql database for vb2005 express. In that tutorial, I followed the steps as listed. But the problem is that the save button in my application during run time, it does not work. Furthermore, the code for for saving a record during run time does not work as well.
I have reinstall sql 2005 server and vb2005 express but of no use.
I have winxp with system of pentium 4.
What I should do to solve this dilemma.
