I Am Having A Problem With Percision Which Appears To Be A Documented Bug Is There A Work Around Of Solution In Sqlserver 2005
Aug 23, 2006
I have been working on an application which require as much percision as we can get. We have defined all numeric values as (38,16) however when ever we divide a number by the result of a built in function it truncate the percision to 5 decimal place this cause us to have a small but enoying loss in the numbers being caculated we need a minimuim of 8 decimal places or better is there a work around or solution for this problem in sql server 2005. The more percision the better.
example: select tna/(select sum(tna) from taum) from taum where fund_id = 2345
the result is always 5 decimal places even though fund_id tna = 2569698.23 and sum(tna) =98745612325879.36 which should equal .00000002602341683313994 instead the result = .00000

I have several DTS packages saved 'locally' to the SQL server. I want to duplicate a package, so that I can make some changes then replace the original. I certainly don't want to rebuild the entire package from scratch. So, I open up the original package, go to the 'Package' menu and choose 'Save As', then give it a new name and press OK. No errors, all appears well, the title bar even shows the new name of the package. But, when I close the package and go the the 'local' package list, it (the new package name) doesn't appear in the list. Refresh, exit SEM, reboot - doesn't show up. I even looked in the MSDB table where packages are supposed to be stored (at least the name / package id / etc), and it doesn't show there as well. Tried from several client machines.
OS: Windows 2000 Server (advanced) SP2
SQL: SQL 2000 Server (no SP's)
Any help would be great.

VB.NET 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express - NOT saving updates to DB - SOLUTION!
-----------------------------------
The following article is bogus and confusing:
How to: Manage Local Data Files - Setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms246989.aspx
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory
AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
Do not copy
The file is never copied or overwritten by the project system. Because your application creates a dynamic connection string that points to the database file in the output directory, this setting only works for local database files when you manually copy the file yourself.
You must manually copy the database file to the output directory
AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.
-----------------------------------
The above article is bogus and confusing.
This is rediculous!
This is the most vague and convoluted bunch of nonsince I've ever come accross!
Getting caught out on this issue for the 10th time!
And not being able to find an exact step-by-step solution.
--------------------------
I've tried it and it doesn't work for me.
Please don't try what the article eludes to as I'm still sorting out exactly what is supposed to be happening.
If you have a step-by-step procedure that can be reproduced this properly please PM me.
I would like to test its validity then update this exact post as a solution rather than just another dicussion thread.
Many thanks.
This is the exact procedure I have come up with:
NOTE 1: DO NOT allow VB.net to copy the database into its folders/directorys.
NOTE 2: DO NOT hand copy the database to a folder/directory in your project.
Yes, I know its hard not to do it because you want your project nice and tidy.
I just simply could NOT get it to work.
You should NOT have myData.mdf listed in the Solution Explorer. Ever.
Create a folder for your data following NOTE 2.
Copy your data to that folder. * mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Create a NEW project.
Remove any Data Connections. ( no matter what)
Save it.
Data | View Data Sources
Add New Data Source
select NEW CONNECTION ( No Matter what, do it!
Select the database. * again mine was C:mydatamyData.mdf
Answer NO to the question:
Would you like to copy the file to your project and modify the connection?
- NO ( no matter what - ANSWER NO ! - Absolutely NO )
Then select the tables you want in the DataSet.
and Finish.
To Test ----------
From the Solution Explorer | click the table name drop down arrow | select details
Now Drag the table name onto the form.
The form is then populated with a Navigation control
and matching Labels with corresponding Textboxes for each field in the table.
Save it.
1) Run the app.
Add one database record to the database by pressing the Add(+) icon
Just add some quick junk data that you don't mind getting lost if it doesn't save.
YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Now exit the application.
2) Run the app again.
And verify there is one record already there.
Now add a second database record to the database by pressing the Add (+) icon.
NOW add some quick junk data that you WILL intentionally loose.
*** DO NOT *** press the save icon.
Just Exit the app.
3) Again, Run the app.
Verify that the first record is still there.
Verify that the Second record is NOT there.
Its NOT there because you didn't save the data before exiting the app.
Proving that YOU MUST CLICK THE SAVE ICON to save the data you just entered.
Also proving you must add your own code to catch the changes
and ask the user to save the data before exitiing or moving to another record.
As a side note, since vb.net uses detached datasets,
(a copy/snapshot of the dataset in memory and NOT directly linked to the database)
the dataset will reflect all changes made when moving around the detached datasets.
YOU MUT REMEMBER TO SUBMIT YOUR CHANGES TO THE DATABASE TO SAVE THEM.
Otherwise, they will simply be discarded without notice.
Whewh!
I hope this saves me some time the next time I want to start a new database project.
Oh, and uh, for anyone else reading this post.
Thanks,

Hi all,
I moved a report to a different solution using the "Add Existing Item" function. Verified that all the data sources were properly connected and that my queries to provide parameter lists were running ok. When I try to run the main data source (a stored proc) from the data tab, I get this message:
"..An error occurred while executing the query.
Procedure or function 'ReportSP' expects parameter '@Item, which was not supplied.
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 201)"
This SP runs fine from the old solution and in Management Studio, so there must be something I need to do in the new report. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I checked the report parameters and it's there. When I try to preview the report, it lets me pick all the parameters, including the one it's griping about, then it throws the message.
Any help would be appreciated - Thanks!

Hi All,
I installed SQL Server 2005 SP2 recently. After that when I try to
deploy a solution in SSRS 2005, I get a dialog box with title:
"Reporting Services Login". It has my server listed as the first row:
"http://localhost/reportserver" and then it has two text boxes asking
for Username and Password.
I checked my IIS settings and only Integrated Security is checked for
the Reports Server folder (and for the entire website). I tried to
change that to Allow Anonymous Access = Checked, but still the same
problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks! GB

can you please explian this chart:
The operand expressions are denoted as expression e1, with precision p1 and scale s1, and expression e2, with precision p2 and scale s2. The precision and scale for any expression that is not decimal is the precision and scale defined for the data type of the expression.
Operation
Result precision
Result scale *
e1 + e2
max(s1, s2) + max(p1-s1, p2-s2) + 1
max(s1, s2)
e1 - e2
max(s1, s2) + max(p1-s1, p2-s2) + 1
max(s1, s2)
e1 * e2
p1 + p2 + 1
s1 + s2
e1 / e2
p1 - s1 + s2 + max(6, s1 + p2 + 1)
max(6, s1 + p2 + 1)
e1 { UNION | EXCEPT | INTERSECT } e2
max(s1, s2) + max(p1-s1, p2-s2)
max(s1, s2)
* The result precision and scale have an absolute maximum of 38. When a result precision is greater than 38, the corresponding scale is reduced to prevent the integral part of a result from being truncated.
e1 = numeric(20,8)
e2 = numeric(20,8)
e1/e2
is this correct
max(6,s1 + p2 + 1)
8 + 20 + 1= 29 since under 38 use 29 scale
scale would be max(6,29) = 29 correct???????
p1 - s1 + s2 + max(6, s1 + p2 + 1)
20 - 8 + 8 + 29 = 49 does that mean it truncate the least sugificant digits by 29 - 11 = 18 so the effective result should be numeric(38,18) or ##,###,###,###,###,###,###.000000000000000000 this does not seem to be what you get can some explain also we have seen that if you enter a number in the trillions such 9,999,999,999,999 neither .net or sql management studio cannot display the value?????

Hi
I have picked up the same problem that quite a few folks have identified.
I have created a SSRS Solution and have a report which I am trying to deploy to the Report Manager.
The project 'builds' locally but when I try to deploy it, a User Login Box pops up.
Has any one been able to ascertain what causes the problem and how does one go about resolving the problem.
I am using Window Authentication on WIndows XP SP2 with SQL Server 2005 Developers Edition and Visual Studio 2005 Professional
I have not 'tinkered' with IIS,.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The problem I am having is that MainPipe is not recognized as a valid type in my Script task, even though I have the imports statements that are listed in the example. I get the message "Error 30002: Type 'MainPipe' is not defined". The other and related problem is that when I type "imports microsoft.sqlserver.dts", the intellisense offers only two choices: {}Runtime and {}Tasks. I don't see any choice for Pipeline. Can anyone tell what I am missing? It seems to be some kind of configuration/installation issue, but I have no idea how to resolve it. I have tried this on 3 different machines, with both the RTM SQL 2005 standard edition, and with SP2 installed, all with the same result. Any help is appreciated
Here is my code:
' Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Script Task
' Write scripts using Microsoft Visual Basic
' The ScriptMain class is the entry point of the Script Task.

Hi experts;
I have a problem with unicode character 0x2300
I created this table
create table testunicode (Bez nchar(128))
Insert Data
insert into testunicode (Bez)values('Œ€„¢')
with 2 Unicode characters
Œ€ = 0x2300
„¢ = 0x2122
Selecting the data
select Bez from testunicode
I see
"?„¢"
„¢ = 0x2122 is ok but instead of 0x2300 there is 0x3f
When I modify the insert statement like that ( 8960 = 0x2300 )
insert into testunicode (Bez)values(NCHAR(8960)+'„¢')
and select again voila i see
"Œ€„¢"
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks

I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Thanks!!

The following test seems to contradict documented behavior....
1) Running SQL Server 2005 Express with Shared Memory (SM) and TCP enabled connect via ADO.
2) Connect with "localhost", it connects using SM.
3) Disable SM and restart the Server Service.
4) Connect with "localhost", it connects using TCP.
5) Enable SM and restart the Server Service.
6) Connect with "localhost", it still connects using TCP!!
To restore a SM connection, the only way that I have figure out is...
7) Disable TCP and restart the Server Service.
8) Connect with "localhost", it connects using SM.
And then restoring TCP does not change the connection
9) Enable TCP and restart the Server Service.
10) Connect with "localhost", it still connects using SM.
If you run steps 1 - 6 but skip #4, step #6 will connect with SM. So one concludes that the TCP connection is somehow "sticky".
Any ideas on how to force a shared memory connection in step #6?

Hi There
I would like to write sql to check that space used by any given data file in SS2000.
sp_spaceused only returns the total space used by the DB or object in the DB, not for a specific data file.
DBCC SHOWFILESTATS does give me this information , but it is not documented in BOL, i would prefer not to use an undocumented command to ensure future use in later versions. Is DBCC SHOWFILESTATS an undocumented T-SQL command ? If so what documented t-sql command will provide me with this information ?
I could query system table's and work this out , but as mentioned this may not not work in future versions of SS.
Thanx

I have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000.
Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express? The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection.
If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration? Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is:
server name: "machinename"( or ip). I've also tried "machiname/SQLEXPRESS"
DB name: name of db instance
port: 1433(default)
user and pass.
My attempts so far results in
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket."
and
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Unable to connect. Invalid URL."

One of the primary parts of my job is working with the SQL database of our Enterprise ERP software. One of my primary responsibilities is writing reports based on it's data and since it is not well documented and this is one of my biggest challenges. To top it all off, it's hard to even use their reports to learn the links between tables as the reports run completely in Visual Foxpro.
Is there reasonably priced software that will analyze the database for me and make it easier for me to figure out the relationships between certain tables and such?
TIA,
Dave

Hello people.
I am in the process of planning a server upgrade to sql2005 x64.
I created 2 linked servers: one to a SQL2000 sp4 server and one to a SQL7.0 SP3.
I have the following error when I query the linked servers.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "Unspecified error".
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "The stored procedure required to complete this operation could not be found on the server. Please contact your system administrator.".
Msg 7311, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
I am aware of KB 906954.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;906954
I applied the instcat.sql on the SQL2000SP4 server and my linked server issues for that one are gone.
However, I ran the instcat.sql script on the SQL7.0 sp3 server and the linked server is still giving me an issue.
Can someone help me find a solution to this?

Hello all, according to the documentation for the DeviceInfo parameter of the ReportingService.Render method the Xml string fragment of PageHeight and PageWidth for the Image Device Information Settings should and I quote.
The page height, in inches, to set for the report. You must include an integer or decimal value followed by "in" (for example, 11in). This value overrides the report's original settings.
Emphasis mine. Page width is similar. However when I change that value to what is desired for the IMAGE format it has no effect whatsoever no matter what value I place in there.
Indeed the size that is rendered is more related to the current display resolution setting rather than the PageHeight/PageWidth values passed in. In otherwords if my laptop has a higher resolution of 1920x1200 and the server that I deploy this WS to has a lower resolution of 1280x1024, the image rendered on the higher resolution display fits on to an 8.5x11.0 in page with room to spare but on the lower resolution display it is clipped because it does not fit the page.
Is there something that I am doing wrong or is this indeed a bug?
Thank you,
John

Hi all
We have a huge terabyte database that we are planning to upgrade to 2005. We are working on realistic backup solutions in case we have to rollback the upgrade. We have over 400 tables out of which about 100 are kind of static. The other 300 tables have very high transaction rate - thousands of batch transactions per sec. Earlier, prior to 2005 SP2 release we tried setting up replication to a 2000 box and replication agents failed to catch up with the transactions. Not sure of SP2 has any improvements. We are thinking of setting up replication for only the 300 or so tables and we will take a regular nightly back up and can use a day's old data for the 100 small tables.
What are your experiences/suggestions on a proper back up solution to have a 2000 server in almost stand by mode that we can switch back to in case of any issues?
Thanks,
don.

When I try to add a SQL Server Database as a new item into the App_Data folder of my Web Project, I get this error demanding that SQL Server Express has to be installed. That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. Is there some setting or something to make VS 2005 Pro work with a standard SS database? I don't want to use the express edition. I can't use SS's management studio with that.
Does Microsoft monitor this forum? I thought they were going to be taking technology forward; not backwards. I'm losing a lot of time having to install and uninstall and reinstall to get the environment into a mode that works lke I want it to work. If they didn't intend for SS standard edition to be used with VS 2005 Pro, then why did they include SS developers edition in the Pro package?

I upgraded my SQL 2005 Workgroup 2005 to SP2 and subsequently could not get the SQL Server service running. Turns out this was a problem because I had created separate folders for my data and log files. The distmdl.mdf and mssqlsystemresource.mdf files were in my data folder and distmdl.ldf and mssqlsystemresource.ldf were in my log folder. During SP2 upgrade a new distmdl.ldf and mssqlsystemresource.ldf were created in my data folder. I deleted the distmdl.ldf and mssqlsystemresource.ldf files in my log folder and then moved the newly created ones in my data folder into the log folder and all is well now.
Just a heads up!
